Gu Lili heard Gu Yun Chu talking about her scribbling all over the place.
Just as she was planning to catch him off guard, Gu Lili decided to let him go since Gu Yun Chu was so sweet-talking.
"Alright, you'd better keep doing this, or you'll be in big trouble." Gu Lili held up her fist in front of Gu Yun Chu and said.
The more arrogant a person is, the more likely they are to make mistakes. Therefore, Gu Lili cannot only praise him, but also needs to give him a proper warning.
Seeing that Gu Yun Chu nodded in agreement, Gu Li Li hurriedly went to wash up.
Upon reaching the room door, Gu Lili, as usual, casually took the flowers from the door and brought them inside.
However, Gu Lili found it strange that she hadn't seen the flower when she put Xiao Li'er in the room after returning home.
My third uncle picked some wildflowers for himself, why was he doing it so secretly?
I'll definitely ask him when I have time tomorrow.
As soon as Gu Lili opened the door, Xiao Li'er came up to her and affectionately rubbed against Gu Lili's trouser leg.
Gu Lili squatted down, patted the little fox's head haphazardly, and then squeezed in.
After getting a change of clothes, Gu Lili simply let the little fox out of the yard to roam freely.
Anyway, the gate to the courtyard is now locked, so there's no worry that Little Fox will run out and get lost.
Keeping it locked inside all the time can be quite stifling.
It is meant to live freely in the forest.
As expected, Gu Lili did the right thing. Seeing that Gu Lili hadn't locked the door, Xiao Li'er jumped out and went to play in the yard.
Gu Lili went to wash up, so they let her go.
While I was drying my hair, the chickens, ducks, and Big Black outside the door suddenly started squawking.
Gu Lili thought to herself, "Oh no!" She quickly put on her coat and ran out to see what was going on.
Gu Lili thought that it must be the little fox that stole the chickens and ducks.
How could she forget? This little fox is a wild beast; how could it resist the temptation of these birds?
If it gets really hungry, even a big black dog might become its meal.
If they were a bit older, maybe they'd be someone like Zhui Feng, Niu Er Geng, or Gu Jia Ren...
Gu Lili dared not think any further...
The commotion never stopped.
This also attracted the other members of the Gu family.
Gu Lili came out of the bathroom and immediately searched the yard for Xiao Li'er, but she couldn't find her.
Gu Lili became increasingly certain of her idea and hurriedly headed towards the chicken coop with a flashlight.
Just as Gu Lili had predicted, the little fox was indeed in the chicken coop.
With blood still on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Gu Lili with a smug expression when he saw her arrive.
To be honest, Gu Lili was angry when she saw this scene.
They'd raised this chicken for months, and it'd only just learned to crow when the little fox ruined it. How could they not be upset?
Gu Lili wasn't reluctant to feed it; in fact, she had been thinking about buying some chickens from the mall to let it practice hunting.
"Oh dear, did the fox steal a chicken?" Gu Yanyu said, tears welling up in her eyes.
If you were to ask who in this family has the strongest bond with these chickens and ducks, it would undoubtedly be Gu Yanyu.
When these chickens and ducks were still chicks, Gu Yanyu started looking for wild vegetables for them to eat.
During the day, we also drive the ducks out into the stream for a while so they can swim around.
He was also thinking that when they laid their first egg, he would be the first to find it and then give it to Gu Lili to eat.
As she thought about it, Gu Yanyu finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Gu Lili didn't know how to comfort Gu Yanyu for a moment. If he hadn't come out tonight, she could have bought a few more from her space to make up the numbers.
Just as Gu Lili was hesitating, the little fox leaped out.
It seems its foot is almost healed.
Little Fox put the thing out of her mouth in a conciliatory manner. Gu Lili shone a flashlight on her and almost jumped out of her skin in fright.
Gu Lili took several steps back, and because she was so scared, she bumped into a firm chest.
Gu Lili turned around and saw that it was Chang'an. She then hurriedly took a few steps forward.
What startled Gu Lili was actually a weasel.
Gu Lili ran around to the chicken coop and quickly counted the chickens and ducks inside with her flashlight; not a single one was missing.
It turned out that she had misunderstood Xiao Li'er.
"Yan Yu, don't cry. There are still all the chickens and ducks in the coop. It was probably a weasel that came to steal them. Luckily, Xiao Li'er caught it." Gu Lili said with a slightly unnatural expression.
When Gu Lili spoke, she tried her best not to look at Chang'an.
Just now, the two of them were so close that Gu Lili could even hear Chang'an's heart pounding like a drum.
As Gu Lili spoke, she quickly ran to the little fox, stroked its head, and praised it, "Little fox, you are so amazing!"
Sure enough, when people are in an awkward situation, they tend to pretend to be very busy.
Chang'an stood there, stunned, the scent of Gu Lili's hair still lingering in his nostrils.
After a long silence, Chang'an smiled helplessly. It seemed that tonight would be another sleepless night.
Gu Yanyu smiled through his tears, relieved that his chickens and ducks were alright.
"I'm going to dry my hair," Gu Lili said to herself.
Gu Lili put the little fox in the yard to kill the weasel, then ran back to her room as if fleeing.
Seeing that everything was alright, everyone gradually went back to sleep.
After all, there's a lot to do tomorrow.
In the courtyard, only Chang'an sat there blankly, watching the little fox eat meat.
The moonlight in the courtyard made Chang'an's figure appear even more lonely.
He was homesick.
Ironically, he didn't know where his home was.
Hearing Gu Lili's footsteps as she finished drying her hair and prepared to leave the room, Chang'an quickly got up and disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
"Little Fox, come back to sleep after you've finished eating," Gu Lili called from the doorway of the room.
Upon hearing this, Little Fox happily trotted into Gu Lili's room.
Hearing Gu Lili close the door, Chang'an finally emerged from the shadows.
After standing in the courtyard for a while, Chang'an went back to his room to rest.
Gu Lili thought she could sleep in this morning, but she didn't expect that while Xiao Li'er didn't cause any trouble, Lord Lin was led to the Gu family early by the county magistrate.
Gu Lili hadn't expected that Lord Lin would be so dedicated.
After dressing and washing up, Gu Lili hurriedly headed towards the main room.
By now, Lord Lin and his entourage had already been welcomed inside by Gu Chenxi for tea.
"Good morning, Lord Lin and Magistrate," Gu Lili greeted as she entered the main hall with a smile.
When the group saw Gu Lili arrive, they quickly stood up to greet her.
Gu Lili quickly reached out and stopped him.
