Chapter 66 Lu Xiaoli
"Name it?"
Lu Qing wiped his hands.
"Yes, Xiaoshou is our friend. My friends all have names, like Da Niu, Er Niu, and Xiao Hu Tou. They all have their own names!" Xiao Yan counted on her fingers and said seriously, "So Xiaoshou should also have a name of his own."
"Isn't it good to just call him Little Beast?"
"Little beast doesn't sound nice, and many animals are little beasts. We have to give it a special name." The little guy shook his head.
Lu Qing really wanted to say that, in fact, there are a lot of names like Da Niu and Er Niu out there.
He thought about it and saw the little black beast peeking inside from outside the kitchen.
So he asked, "Little thing, what do you think of a name?"
A thoughtful look appeared in the black beast's eyes, and then it nodded.
"Brother, look, the little beast also wants to have a name of his own." Xiaoyan said happily.
"In that case, let's name one."
Seeing that the little black beast had this intention, Lu Qing no longer refused.
But what name should I give it?
Lu Qing thought for a while and suddenly an idea came to him.
"How about just calling me Xiaoli?"
"Xiao Li?" Xiaoyan tilted her head.
There was also doubt in the eyes of the little black beast.
Obviously neither of the two little guys understood the meaning of this name.
"Yes, the little beast looks very similar to an animal called a civet cat, so we call it Xiaoli. The word "li" belongs to the element of fire. Look at the hair on its body. Does it look like burning black flames?"
While Lu Qing was explaining, he took a piece of charcoal and wrote the word "Li" on it.
After studying for this period of time, he has basically mastered the writing of this world's language.
Xiaoyan didn’t know whether she understood or not, but after the black beast heard Lu Qing’s explanation, it immediately felt that the name Xiaoli was very noble.
It looked at Lu Qing steadily, with a gleam in its eyes.
"Do you like this name?" Lu Qing saw its expression and immediately understood, "Then you will be called Xiaoli from now on. As for the surname, it's up to you if you want it or not. If you want a surname, you can take our surname and be called Lu Li or Lu Xiaoli."
"That's great, little beast, you have a name now!" Xiaoyan said happily, "Your name is Xiaoli, and mine is Xiaoyan. Our names are very similar."
There was also touch in the little black beast's eyes, which were sparkling.
After having a name, it became easier for the black beast to move into the Lu family.
It and Xiaoyan started chasing each other around the house.
Of course, it was mainly Xiaoli who was teasing Xiaoyan. Otherwise, with its speed, even a hundred Xiaoyans would not be able to touch it.
"By the way, Xiaoli, let me ask you something."
Seeing the little black beast having fun, Lu Qing suddenly remembered something.
Xiao Li stopped and looked at Lu Qing.
"Did someone chase you in the mountains yesterday, trying to capture you?"
What Lu Qing remembered was the discussions of the Wei family guards that he overheard last night.
It was said that their young master accidentally fell into a valley while chasing a strange black beast in the mountains.
At that time, he had some doubts as to whether the little beast was Xiao Li, and now was a good time to ask.
Xiao Li tilted his head and thought about it, then nodded.
"There were six or seven people who wanted to capture you, and one of them was about my age?"
Xiao Li nodded again.
Lu Qing broke into a sweat, it really was this guy.
His expression suddenly became serious: "Xiao Li, you should stay in the house recently and don't go out. If other people come, find a place to hide and don't let others see you, understand?"
Xiao Li nodded.
It doesn't like to see other people.
Lu Qing turned around and warned his sister: "And Xiaoyan, when you go out, you are not allowed to talk about Xiaoli's stay in our house, not even to your friends. Otherwise, Xiaoli will probably be taken away by someone else, and then you will never see Xiaoli again, understand?"
"Xiaoyan knows! Xiaoyan won't tell anyone about Xiaoli!"
When the little guy heard that he might never see Xiao Li again, he immediately tensed his face and answered seriously.
She had finally become friends with Xiao Li and didn't want to lose it.
Seeing Xiaoyan agreed, Lu Qing finally relaxed a little.
The little guy's mouth is still very tight, which makes him feel at ease.
It was like there was so much money at home, and he had told her not to tell anyone about it, and until now, she hadn't let a single word slip.
It’s not that Lu Qing is too serious.
Although the young master Wei fell into the valley on his own, it was ultimately related to Xiao Li.
Young Master Wei almost died this time. Even if he was cured, his body was seriously damaged. I'm afraid he will have to use many precious medicinal herbs to restore his body.
After suffering such a disaster, who dares to say that he would not resent Xiao Li for it?
It would be fine if I didn’t see Xiao Li. If I did, I’m afraid he would catch it and take revenge on it no matter what.
But Lu Qing remembered that guy's personality was not very good.
Although Xiao Li is a red light spirit beast, in his assessment of supernatural powers, he is at the same level as the Internal Organ Realm.
But if they really came into conflict, Lu Qing didn't think it could defeat the Wei family guards.
Humans have too many means of fighting and their minds are so cunning that it is beyond the comprehension of a simple spirit beast.
Not to mention, the Wei family's chief steward is also a martial arts expert in the inner viscera realm.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li decided that it would be better for him to hide for a while and not meet anyone from the Wei family.
In fact, Lu Qing wanted Xiao Li to hide in the mountains, stay away from here for a while, and come out after the Wei family members left.
But when he saw that it would rather stay on the eaves all night in order to eat fish this morning, he knew that Xiao Li had already regarded the surrounding area as its territory.
It may not be easy to get it to leave here.
If it couldn't resist the temptation of eating fish and sneaked over like it did today, the risk of being exposed would be even greater.
Instead of this, it is better to keep it hidden at home and avoid this period of time.
In the following time, through continued questioning, Lu Qing learned that Xiao Li did not have any parents nearby.
In this vast mountain, there is only this one night raccoon.
It didn't even know how it appeared in the mountains.
All we know is that it has lived in the mountains since it became conscious, but in a different area.
I just recently wandered to the mountainous area behind Jiuli Village.
After knowing this, Lu Qing was finally able to feel truly at ease keeping Xiao Li. He no longer had to worry about two mature night raccoons suddenly popping out one day and challenging him for an offense.
Just like that, Xiao Li officially moved into Lu Qing's house.
Since Young Master Wei's injuries have stabilized, Lu Qing no longer needs to wait in the courtyard halfway up the mountain all day.
His life returned to its previous rhythm.
Every morning I would go to a small courtyard halfway up the mountain to pay my respects to my master. After learning medical skills for a morning, I would have the rest of the time at my own disposal.
You can go fishing, grow vegetables and practice martial arts.
And for Xiao Li, such days are undoubtedly happy.
Every day, it can be the first to eat the fresh fish caught by Lu Qing, and the taste is simply amazing.
After eating, Xiaoyan will give it a massage and tickle.
These days are much more comfortable than life in the mountains.
Xiao Li didn't want to leave at all, he just wanted to stay at home like this forever.
As the days passed, what Lu Qing was worried about, that Xiao Li would be discovered by others, never happened.
And under the careful treatment of the old doctor, the health of Young Master Wei improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, on the seventh day after Young Master Wei woke up, he was able to get out of bed and walk.
This also means that he can withstand the bumps on the road and set off back to the Wei family.
