The scholar's home was in a small town. It was just an ordinary family and was not rich. When Chu Xiang and the others arrived, the scholar's mother was sitting in the courtyard washing clothes. There were two large pots of clothes piled high. It could be seen that she relied on this to make money.
As soon as the scholar entered the courtyard, he quickly ran forward. "Mother, I will wash. You should rest."
How could the woman let him touch these things? Before the scholar's hand touched the clothes, it was pushed away by the woman. The woman smiled and said, "Your hands are used to write articles. In the future, you will be a big official. How can you do rough work and soak in the water? Mother is not tired. Mother can do these things alone. "
The woman turned and saw Bai Yi behind him and Chu Xiang at the door. Seeing that one was white and one was red, they were so beautiful that they didn't seem real. She was shocked. She wiped the water off her hands and got up to look at Bai Yi.
"My Lord! Are these two foxes the ones you picked up? Why are they so beautiful? They don't look like wild foxes. They look like nobles! "The woman was a little scared." Son, did you really pick them up? Could it be that a noble family lost these foxes? If this is known by others, it will affect your future! "
The scholar hurriedly said, "No, no, when I picked them up, they were very heavy and were about to die. Even if someone raised them before, they definitely didn't want them anymore. Mother, we will raise them. You can't go back on your words! "
The woman looked at the scholar awkwardly and sighed. She frowned and said, "Let's raise them for the time being. Ai, son, I don't know how much a fox can eat. I can't raise them to eat meat. Mother is afraid that I can't afford to raise them. If you like them, keep them for the time being. You promised mother that you will study hard. You are not allowed to run out again. "
The scholar immediately smiled and picked up Bai Yi. "Thank you, mother. I will study hard and study hard. I will become an official and earn a title for you! Then I will go and settle them down first! "
The scholar happily turned around and called Chu Xiang to run into the door. The woman smiled and shook her head. She sat down and washed the clothes again.
Chu Xiang walked in slowly and saw that there was a layer of sweat on the woman's forehead. Her face was red from the sun. It was so hot. Even if they were sitting under the roof, it was still very tiring to work for a long time.
Suddenly, she felt a wave of spiritual energy. Then, a barrier appeared around the woman. The air was still hot, but there was a cool breeze around the woman. It was much cooler.
The woman looked at it in surprise. She rejoiced and sped up the washing speed. She muttered to herself, "The wind came at the right time."
Chu Xiang looked up at the door and happened to meet Bai Yi's eyes. She walked over and said, [Be careful. If there are too many abnormalities, you will be discovered. Humans are not fools.]
Bai Yi stuck out her tongue. [I know, I know. I'm very considerate. I won't go overboard.] She looked around excitedly. After looking around, her heart ached. [This is my benefactor's home? It's so simple and crude. It's far worse than our cave. Xiang 'er, let's help him, okay?]
[How can I help?] Chu Xiang saw that the scholar was using old clothes to make a nest, so she casually found a place to lie down and watch Bai Yi wander around.
[It's simple! Benefactor's family is poor, so I'll go find some treasures for him to pick up! By the way, isn't he going to take the exam? I can get the questions back for him! In this way, he will definitely do well in the exam! And don't let him be cold or hot. Anyway, I must let him have a good life and have a happy life! What do you think?] Bai Yi became more and more excited. These things were too easy for her to achieve, but she could really help her benefactor!
Chu Xiang didn't care. If she was really found abnormal, she would leave. She had so many treasures in her space, and so many methods in her mind. To be honest, no one in this world could help her.
She completely regarded the scholar as Bai Yi's toy. She casually said, "If you like it, go. Don't be too exaggerated. If you attract a demon, I can't save you."
"Don't worry!" Bai Yi happily agreed. She ran around the scholar a few times, making the scholar happy. She also set up a barrier for the scholar, so that he was neither cold nor hot and kept in the most comfortable state.
The scholar spread a piece of clothing on the straw and hugged Bai Yi up. He said happily, "Does Xue 'er like it? This will be your home in the future! "He turned to Chu Xiang and shouted," Hong 'er, come on, it's very comfortable! "
Chu Xiang walked over and lay down in Bai Yi's expectant eyes. The scholar saw them lying on the clothes obediently and felt a sense of accomplishment. He smiled and said, "OK, I'll ask my mother for some food. Don't run around. Don't go to my mother's room. There are jobs she can take. If it's dirty or broken, she will have to pay for it. Do you know?"
Without waiting for them to respond, he laughed and said, "look at me, what do I do with you? You don't understand. Well, anyway, you just stay here obediently and wait for me.
"The scholar went out and asked his mother for food. Chu Xiang and Bai Yi both had good hearing. They heard the woman was very unhappy:" How much do you need to eat to raise these two things? How good would it be to keep the money for you to eat a few eggs? Oh, by the way, we also have two chickens in our family. Doesn't the fox love to eat chicken? Will it eat our chickens when we're not paying attention? "
Bai Yi curled her lips in disgust and leaned close to Chu Xiang. "Who eats that? Even if it's cooked, it still tastes good. Why do I feel that our benefactor's mother doesn't like us? Aren't we beautiful? Aren't we well-behaved? "
Chu Xiang lazily said, "She doesn't even have enough to eat. How can she have the leisure to care about whether the fox is good-looking or not? To her, we are a burden. She is willing to raise her son. She raises chickens to eat eggs and then eat chicken. Why does she raise us? "
Bai Yi was stunned. She had always been the one who was valued and respected by the demon. Suddenly, she became a burden that was disliked. She couldn't react.
She hesitated and said, "Then I … will catch a few more chickens for her?"
Chu Xiang laughed and said, "You'd better learn more about the human situation first."
Bai Yi nodded and looked at Chu Xiang. "Xiang 'er, why do you seem to know everything? Didn't you never go out of the mountain like me? But now you seem to be an experienced senior! "
Chu Xiang casually made up a story. "Of course, I listen to the seniors. You only listen to their tragic stories. I listen to their experiences in the world."
"Oh, so it's like that." Bai Yi was ashamed. "I didn't want to come to the crowd before. I just wanted to focus on cultivation. I listened to stories for fun. I really didn't pay attention to any experience. Xiang 'er, you're amazing. You remember it all. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be stupid. In the future, I will rely on you to stay by my benefactor's side! "
Chu Xiang smiled. In fact, it was just a small matter. It didn't make a big mess. Even if it did, it didn't matter. How could they not handle it? However, she shouldn't tell Bai Yi about this. It was good to let her be cautious. She was really too simple.
Compared to the cunning fox demons she had seen before, she still preferred Bai Yi's pure temperament. She was like a child who had just come into contact with a new world. Sometimes she was quite cute.
In the end, the scholar still got food from his mother, but it wasn't much. It was just a little bit. He placed the food bowl in front of them and sighed. He touched Bai Yi's head. "When I pass the imperial examination, the family won't be like this. At that time, I will definitely let you eat drumsticks."
Bai Yi gently rubbed the scholar's palm and sent a message to Chu Xiang. [Xiang 'er, when our benefactor came to see us two days ago, didn't he give us drumsticks? Are drumsticks so expensive? Then what our benefactor gave us … was it his mother who gave it to him to nourish his body?]
[En, it should be.] Chu Xiang made a eating gesture and threw her food into the space.
Bai Yi said with heartache. [Our benefactor is too good to us. He doesn't even bear to eat good things. When he sees us injured, he gives it to us.]
Chu Xiang chuckled. [Yiyi, if you have something good, who would you give it to first?]
Bai Yi didn't even think about it. [Of course I will give them to you. Do you still need to ask? En … the second one will be for our benefactor. I want to get a lot of good things for our benefactor!]
[So, your mother gave him drumsticks and he hid them for us two foxes to eat. Why didn't he give them to his mother?]
Bai Yi was stunned. She was stunned by Chu Xiang's sharp question.
That's right! The scholar's mother was so good to him. She could even be the most important person to the scholar. Just now, the scholar also knew that his mother had a hard time washing clothes. Why … didn't he give the drumsticks to his mother, but gave them to the two foxes instead? Weren't they just two beautiful foxes in the scholar's eyes?!
[He … could it be that he was afraid that his mother wouldn't eat it? Uh … that's … do you understand? His mother definitely won't eat it. The drumsticks are his own. He, he is kind, so … so he pitied us …]
Chu Xiang was a little sleepy and didn't care about this at all. So she said "Oh" and closed her eyes, turning into a round red ball of fur.
Bai Yi always felt that something was different from what she thought, but she couldn't figure out what it was. She wanted to talk to Chu Xiang, but when she saw that Chu Xiang was resting, she quietly quieted down and didn't disturb her.
Things that she couldn't figure out didn't bother Bai Yi for too long. She quickly put these things aside and ran to see what the scholar was doing. She heard the conversation between him, her mother, and the neighbors. She knew that his name was Zhuang Yulang. His mother was Zhuang Liushi. His father died of illness ten years ago. In the past ten years, it was his mother who raised him alone.
Zhuang Liushi's biggest wish was that he could become an official, and Zhuang Yulang's biggest wish was to become an official and earn a title for his mother.
Bai Yi carefully remembered this wish in her heart. She wanted to repay her benefactor well and let him live the best life. This was her benefactor's wish. Of course, she would help him achieve it.
If I want to improve my life, I must change the basic problem first. I can't be poor.
Bai Yi sneaked out when they weren't paying attention. Chu Xiang's eyelids moved. She covered her face with her fluffy tail. She didn't even open her eyes.
Bai Yi quickly ran into the mountain forest. Without much effort, she slapped a pheasant with her paw.
She heard the meaning of Zhuang Liushi and Zhuang Yulang's words. It seemed that the pheasant was very important, and the drumstick was also very important. She couldn't catch the pheasant herself, but she could at least let the pheasant slip in, right? This had nothing to do with a fox like her.
Bai Yi deterred the two pheasants and ordered them to go back with her. When she reached the place, she disappeared in a flash, while the two pheasants fluttered and jumped on the wall, and then jumped from the wall into the yard!
Zhuang Liushi was the first to find the two pheasants. She was surprised and happy, "Oh! Two pheasants flew in our house! These, these are pheasants, not domesticated! "
Zhuang Liushi smiled from ear to ear. She quickly rolled up her sleeves to catch them, "This is really the master's favor!"
