The scholar's home is in a small town, just an ordinary family, not rich. When Chu Xiang and the others arrived, the scholar's mother was sitting in the square-inch yard washing clothes. There were two large basins of clothes piled high. It could be seen that she made money from this.
As soon as the scholar entered the small courtyard, he hurried forward, "Mom, I'll do the washing, you should take a rest."
How could the woman let him touch these? The scholar's hand was blocked by the woman before it touched his clothes. The woman laughed and said, "Your hand is for writing articles. You will be a high-ranking official to approve official documents in the future. How can you do rough work and soak in water? Mother is not tired." , these girls can do it alone."
The woman saw Bai Yi behind him and Chu Xiang at the door in a blink of an eye, and saw that they were so beautiful that one was white and the other was red, so she was startled, wiped the water on her body casually, and got up to look at Bai Yi.
"My God! These two foxes are the ones you picked up? Why are they so beautiful? They don't look like wild ones, they look like they were raised by noble people!" The woman was a little scared, "Son, did you really pick them up? Don't you think so? Which noble family lost the fox, right? If people find out about it, it will affect your future!"
The scholar hurriedly said: "No, no, when I picked them up, they were seriously injured and were about to die. Even if someone raised them before, they would definitely not want them. Mother, we agreed to raise them, You can't go back on your word!"
The woman looked at the scholar in embarrassment, sighed and frowned and said: "Let's keep it for now, alas, my son, I don't know how much a fox can eat, and I can't fatten up and eat meat. I'm afraid I can't afford it." Ah. You like to keep it for the time being, and you promise your mother to study hard, but you are not allowed to run outside again. "
The scholar laughed immediately, hugged Bai Yi and said, "Thank you mother, I will definitely study hard, and I will take the exam to become an official to earn your life! Then I will go and settle them first!"
The scholar happily turned around and called Chu Xiang to run in. The woman shook her head with a smile, and sat down to wash her clothes again.
Chu Xiang walked in slowly, and saw beads of sweat on the woman's forehead, her face was flushed from the sun. On such a hot day, even sitting under the eaves and working for a long time is still very hard.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of spiritual power, and then an enchantment appeared around the woman. The weather was still so hot, but there was a cool breeze around the woman, which inexplicably became much cooler.
The woman also looked at the sky in surprise, thankfully accelerated the speed of washing clothes, and said to herself: "It's really the right time for this wind to come."
Chu Xiang looked up at the door, and happened to meet Bai Yi who was inside the door. She walked over and transmitted a voice: [Be careful, if there are too many abnormalities, you will be discovered. Human beings are not fools.]
Bai Yi stuck out her tongue, [I know, I know, I'm very careful not to go out of line.]She looked around excitedly, and felt distressed after looking around, [This is the home of benefactor? So simple, far worse than our cave. Xiang'er, can we help him?]
[How to help?]Chu Xiang saw the scholar making a nest with old clothes, so he found a random place to lie down and watched Bai Yi wandering around.
[It's very simple! Engong's family is poor, I'll find some treasures for him to pick up! By the way, isn't he going to take the Juren examination? I can get the question back for him! So he must have done well in the exam! And don't let him be cold or hot, anyway, we must let him have a good and happy life! What do you think?]The more Bai Yi talked, the more excited she became. These things are too easy for her to realize, but they can really help her benefactor!
Chu Xiang felt that it didn't matter, and if she was found to be abnormal, she would just leave. There are so many treasures in her space and so many ways in her mind. To be honest, no one in this world can hurt her.
She completely regarded the scholar as Bai Yi's toy, and said casually: "Go if you like, don't be too exaggerated, I can't save you if you attract demons."
"Don't worry!" Bai Yi agreed happily, and first ran around the scholar a few times, making the scholar amused, and then set up a barrier for the scholar to keep him in the most comfortable position. state.
The scholar spread a piece of clothing on the straw and hugged Bai Yi, happily said: "Does Xueer like it? This will be your home from now on!" He turned his head and called Chu Xiang, "Hong'er, come here, it's very comfortable !"
Chu Xiang walked over and got down on the ground under Bai Yi's expectant eyes. The scholar felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw them lying on the clothes obediently, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go and ask my mother for some food and bring them here. Run around, don't go to my mother's room, there is work for her, if it gets dirty or damaged, you will have to pay, you know?"
Before they could respond, he laughed himself, "Look at me, why are you telling me this? You don't understand. Well, anyway, you just stay here obediently and wait for me."
The scholar went out to ask his mother for food. Chu Xiang and Bai Yi both had good hearing, and heard the woman say unhappily: "How much do you need to eat to raise these two things? Save this money for you to eat a few eggs." How nice? By the way, our family has two chickens, isn't the fox the favorite chicken? Will we eat our chicken while our mother is not paying attention?"
Bai Yi pursed her lips in disgust, leaned closer to Chu Xiang and said, "Who will eat that? We have to see if it tastes good after it's cooked. Why do I feel that Engong's mother doesn't like us very much? Aren't we beautiful? Are we not well-behaved?" ?”
Chu Xiang said lazily: "She can't even eat enough to eat. How can she worry about whether the fox looks good? To her, we are a burden. She raises her son willingly. She raises chickens to eat chicken after eating eggs, and raises us What are you two doing?"
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, she practiced since she was a child, she has superb magic skills, she has always been valued and respected by the little demon, but suddenly she became a despised burden, and she was a little unable to react.
She hesitated and said: "Then I... catch a few more chickens and bring them back to her?"
Chu Xiang laughed and said, "You'd better take a look at the situation of human beings before talking about it."
Bai Yi nodded and looked at Chu Xiang, "Xiang'er, why do you seem to know everything? Haven't you never been out of the mountains like me? But now you seem to be an experienced senior!"
Chu Xiang made nonsense, "Of course I listened to the seniors. You only listened to their tragic stories. I only listened to their experiences in this world."
"Oh, that's it." Bai Yi said in shame, "I didn't want to come to the crowd before, I just wanted to concentrate on practicing. I listened to stories and played, and I really didn't pay attention to any experience. Xiang'er, you are so amazing, I remember it all. Yes. Without you, I would definitely be stupid. From now on, I will rely on you to be by your benefactor's side!"
Chu Xiang smiled. In fact, they were all trivial things, and they couldn't make a big mess. Even if they caused trouble, it didn't matter. Can they still settle it? But don't tell Bai Yi these things, let her be more careful, it's really too simple.
Compared with those cunning fox demons she had seen before, she still prefers Bai Yi's innocent personality like a piece of paper, like a child who has just come into contact with the new world, sometimes quite cute.
After all, the scholar and his mother asked for food, but not much, only a little bit. He put the food bowl in front of them, sighed and patted Bai Yi's head, "When I pass the Juren exam, this will not be the case at home. Then I will let you eat chicken drumsticks every day."
Bai Yi lightly rubbed the palm of the scholar's hand, and transmitted to Chu Xiang suspiciously, [Xiang'er, when Engong visited us two days ago, didn't he bring us chicken legs? Are chicken legs so expensive? What benefactor gave us... was his mother to make up for him?]
[Well, it should be.]Chu Xiang made an eating motion and threw her portion of food into the space.
Bai Yi said distressedly: [Grandfather is so kind to us, even if there are good things, he is reluctant to eat them, and he will give them to us when we are hurt.]
Chu Xiang chuckled, [Yiyi, if you have something good, who would you give it to first?]
Without even thinking about it, Bai Yi said: [Of course I'll give it to you, is there even a need to ask? Hmm... the second one will be given to benefactor, I want to get a lot of good things for benefactor!]
[So, you said his mother got him chicken legs, and he hid them for us two foxes to eat, why didn't he give them to his mother?]
Bai Yi stood there stunned, confused by Chu Xiang's sharp questions.
yes! The scholar's mother is so kind to him, she can even be said to be the most important person in the scholar, the scholar also knows that he loves his mother's hard work in washing clothes just now, why... instead of giving the chicken leg to his mother, give it to two foxes? Aren't they just two prettier ordinary foxes in the eyes of the scholar? !
[He... Could it be because he is afraid that his mother won't eat it? Uh... it's just... you know? His mother will definitely not eat it, the chicken leg is his own, he, he has a kind heart, so... so he pities us...]
Chu Xiang was a little sleepy, and he didn't care about it at all, so he closed his eyes with an "oh" and turned into a round fiery red hairball.
Bai Yi always felt that something was different from what she thought, but she couldn't say what it was. She wanted to chat with Chu Xiang, but when she saw that Chu Xiang was resting, she calmed down silently and didn't bother her.
Things that she couldn't figure out didn't bother Bai Yi for too long, she quickly put them aside and ran to see what the scholar was doing. She listened to him talking with his mother and neighbors, and knew that his name was Zhuang Yulang, his mother was Zhuang Liu, his father died of illness ten years ago, and his mother raised him alone in these ten years.
Zhuang Liu's greatest wish is that he can become an official, while Zhuang Yulang's greatest wish is to become an official to earn his mother's royal order back.
Bai Yi took this wish seriously in her heart. She said that she should repay his benefactor well and let him live the best life. This is his wish, and of course she will help him achieve it.
If I want to improve my life, I must first change the basic problems.
Bai Yi sneaked out while they were not paying attention. Chu Xiang moved his eyelids, covered his face with his fluffy tail, and didn't even open his eyes.
Bai Yi quickly ran into the forest, and caught a pheasant with her paw without much effort!
She heard what Zhuang Liushi and Zhuang Yulang said, and it seemed that the chicken was very important, and so were the chicken legs. She can't catch the chicken back by herself, she can always let the chicken slip in by itself? This has nothing to do with her as a fox.
Bai Yi frightened the two pheasants and ordered them to follow her back. She disappeared as soon as she got there, but the two pheasants jumped up and down, all jumped onto the wall, and then jumped from the wall into the yard!
Mrs. Zhuang Liu was the first to find two pheasants, and she was surprised and delighted, "Oh! Two chickens flew in from our house! This, this is a pheasant, not a domestic one!"
Zhuang Liu smiled from ear to ear, and quickly rolled up his sleeves to grab, "This is really God's favor!"
