You can pick them up again after you've finished eating.
After Gu Lili finished cooking, she asked Gu Yun Chu to deliver the food to the village head's house. She also had Li Tian Sheng drive the carriage to deliver some of the food directly to the Li family.
I'll also return the gift that Liu Ying gave me.
In the days that followed, Gu Lili would busy herself entertaining visiting merchants when she was busy, and go up the mountain or to the seaside when she was free.
It's worth mentioning that the next day, Gu Lili and her friends went up the mountain again to pick chestnuts.
Upon arriving at the chestnut grove, we discovered that the weeds under the trees were in a tangled mess.
“Girl, that cry yesterday really did come from a wild animal. Look how messed up this place is.” Gu Chenxi said, pointing to the ground with lingering fear.
Gu Lili, however, felt it didn't quite look like it, because there were many footprints nearby.
"It's alright, we brought Little Fox and Big Black with us. If there are any wild animals, they'll make a sound," Gu Lili reassured her.
Gu Chenxi thought Gu Lili's words made a lot of sense, nodded, and continued picking up chestnuts.
Days passed by, and more than a month went by in the blink of an eye.
The dining hall built by Gu Lili's family has been completed and is now in use.
The inn will be completed in about ten days.
Gu Lili also renovated the embroidery room that was originally planned, and asked Uncle Facai to send a lot of transparent glazed tiles.
They replaced the roof tiles of a room in the neighboring courtyard with many glazed tiles.
Gu Huanhuan and the others also moved their embroidery work there, no longer embroidering in Gu Huanhuan's room.
The glazed tiles have been replaced, making the room very bright, and the embroiderers can embroider without straining their eyes.
The sheep pen that Gu Lili had asked Craftsman Qian to build was finally completed. Because he was unfamiliar with steel bars, Craftsman Qian spent a lot of time studying them.
However, the final result was good.
However, although the sheepfold was built, Wei Yue did not drive the sheep to Donghai Town.
Almost two months have passed. They were the ones who returned to Donghai Town before them.
Could they have gone missing?
Recently, Gu Lili has been muttering about this matter. Surely someone that old shouldn't be unable to find their way around?
If it weren't for the fact that sweet potatoes could be dug up recently, Gu Lili would really like to ride her Chasing Wind back to look for them.
Because the rice was not yet ripe, Gu Lili asked the villagers to help her harvest the sweet potatoes.
That day, Gu Lili had just returned from the sweet potato field when she saw a flock of white sheep appear at the village entrance from afar.
Gu Lili sighed, "Wei Yue has finally arrived."
"Third Uncle, Yun Chu, Wei Yin, hurry, hurry, the sheep are back!" Gu Lili hurriedly called out to the yard.
Upon hearing Gu Lili call out, Gu Yun Chu and the other two hurriedly ran out.
Gu Lili told Xiao Li'er to go back inside and then hurriedly walked with the others toward the sheep.
Upon reaching the flock of sheep, Wei Yin was so surprised that he remained silent for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Wei Yue, whom I haven't seen for more than two months, has become almost unrecognizable.
He had a scruffy beard and was holding two little lambs.
He was dressed all in black, and his clothes were tattered.
Not only him, but also two of their secret guard brothers behind the flock of sheep were exactly the same as Wei Yue.
The unique muttony smell emanating from him made people want to cover their mouths and noses.
If they hadn't known each other since childhood, Wei Yin would almost not have recognized Wei Yue.
As soon as Wei Yue saw Wei Yin, he quickly put down the lamb in his hand and ran towards Wei Yin with tears in his eyes.
Wei Yin was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly, screaming, "Big brother, calm down, calm down!"
If Wei Yue were to hug this, he would get dirty.
Wei Yue then stopped and did not go any further.
Realizing that Gu Lili was right next to him, he immediately knelt down to pay his respects.
"Greetings, County Princess."
The two guards behind the sheep also knelt down.
Gu Lili knew that herding sheep was indeed hard work, but she never expected that it would exhaust them to the point that they looked like they were no longer human.
"Please get up quickly, you've worked so hard, thank you so much," Gu Lili said apologetically.
Although Wei Yue obeyed Yu Yin Jiuchen's orders, he felt a warm glow in his heart when he heard Gu Lili's words of thanks.
The hard work and fatigue of the past two months seem to have lessened considerably.
"Your Highness, you're too kind," Wei Yue said, rising to his feet and bowing.
God knows what they went through in the past two months.
These fifty or sixty sheep are even more difficult to manage than the newly arrived secret guards.
God knows, they were originally ruthless killers, but they were stumped by this flock of sheep.
We ate our way back along the way.
However, it's fine during the day, but it's really difficult to put them all together at night.
They took turns sleeping, and it was only with great difficulty that they managed to train the sheep to stay put at night.
Then, another lamb was born in the flock.
This greatly worried the three grown men, but they gritted their teeth and helped deliver the baby.
The ewe has just given birth and is not suitable for walking for a long time.
That's why they wasted a lot of time on their journey.
They used to think that the training of the secret guards was simply unbearable.
But now, they would rather train for a few months than herd sheep.
At least during training, there's food to eat and sleep to get.
Herding sheep involves enduring wind and rain, sometimes walking for an entire day before encountering a village and managing to get a decent meal.
"Quickly, quickly, drive the sheep back to the sheepfold and get some rest."
As Gu Lili spoke, she quickly asked Gu Yun Chu, Li Tian Sheng, and Wei Yin to help her, and together they hurried to the sheepfold that had been built in the field.
Because there were crops in the field, it took several people a lot of effort to drive the sheep into the sheepfold.
Gu Lili couldn't help but sigh, these people really worked hard.
After the sheep were safely tucked away, Gu Lili led the group home.
Back home, Gu Lili busied herself having Grandma Li and Gu Chenxi boil water and cook, so that everyone could wash up first and then have a hot meal.
After the water was boiled, Gu Lili asked Li Tiansheng, Gu Yunchu, and Wei Yin to each find a set of clothes for them to change into.
After washing up, the group finally looked presentable when they came out.
Gu Lili had finished cooking and quickly invited the three of them to sit down and eat.
However, Gu Lili is a county princess, and given how much Yin Jiuchen values her, how could they dare to eat the food she cooks?
Although I was already starving and my mouth watered at the sight of the food on the table, I didn't dare to sit down and eat.
Gu Lili was a little confused as to why the three of them didn't sit down to eat. Could it be that the food she cooked wasn't to their liking?
Upon seeing this, Wei Yin probably guessed why.
"Brother, please sit down and eat. The county princess is very easygoing," Wei Yin said as he stepped forward.
Gu Lili then realized that it was because of her identity.
"Please sit down and eat. There's no need for formalities in our home," Gu Lili said with a smile.
