Chapter 58 Deer and Lion

Mapo Tofu was served with rice. After swallowing two bowls of white rice, the visitor burped and said, "My nephew, the rice is well cooked."

The three-legged turtle cursed again: "Smelly and shameless".

This time the visitor couldn't bear it any longer, and he retorted: "Grandson, if you don't show your respect, I will make you stew and drink it."

The three-legged turtle showed no stage fright, "I'm telling you, my ancestor is nearby, and when I find him, I won't be able to spare you."

The visitor sneered, "Maybe someone else has stewed it and drank it."

He turned back to Yu Sheng and said, "Great nephew, prepare a room for my uncle."

Yu Sheng turned around and glanced at Bai Gaoxing. Bai Gaoxing stood up and greeted the visitor and led him up the stairs.

When they turned the corner, Yu Sheng picked up the little white fox and said, "Auntie, come on, let's go eat."

The visitor stopped and turned around to see Yu Sheng calling his aunt to the little white fox in his arms. He couldn't help but feel happy, "Okay, boy, he is indeed Shi Yu's son."

"There's no way you can take advantage of me." Yu Sheng said proudly, watching his figure disappearing down the stairs.

He turned around and saw Cao'er smiling and said to the little white fox: "Xiao Li, how do you feel when you suddenly become an aunt?"

Yu Sheng:……

In the backyard of the inn, the moonlight was like water, and the three-legged turtle was searching around. It was not until late at night that it lay down on the edge of the well to rest.

When Ye Zigao went to the backyard to pour swill, he saw the three-legged turtle stretching its neck and looking straight at the crescent moon, breathing white air from its mouth.

"The whole yard turned white, I thought it was foggy." When Ye Zigao came back, he said, rubbing his knocked arm.

"Generally great demons practice like this." Bai Gaoxing wiped the table, "On a night with bright moonlight and few stars, if you stand on the mountain and look, there must be great demons in the dense smoke and clouds."

Cao'er was feeding Qiuqiu under the big oil lamp, and then took over the conversation, "There is spiritual energy in the white mist, and it will be of great benefit if plants, trees, fish and insects get a bite of it."

Bai Gaoxing was startled, "I don't know that."

Ye Zigao shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either."

The two of them looked at each other and said, "Shall we try?"

The two of them did what they said, opening the curtain of the backyard door and quietly touching it.

Yu Sheng looked through the window and took advantage of the moonlight to see them breathing through the smoke with their noses straightened out. He shook his head and said: "I have seen people exposed to second-hand smoke, and this is the first time I have seen second-hand saliva."

"What second-hand saliva?" Cao'er was surprised. She looked where his eyes were pointing and immediately looked at Yu Sheng angrily, "You're so annoying."

"Why do you hate it?" Yu Sheng placed the wine jar on the wine cabinet, "I'm just telling the truth."

"There is no ivory in the dog's mouth." Cao'er complained, "It's a good thing, but when you say it, it ruins the scenery."

The rest of my life is busy, "I'm talking about them, not you, what are you in a hurry for?"

"I, I..." Cao'er was stopped by the question and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Have you ever smoked it too?" Yu Sheng wiped the wine jar on the counter.

Cao'er was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Nonsense, I don't have one."

"If not..." Yu Sheng finished arranging the wine cabinet, and when he turned around, he was suddenly stunned, "You, what did you feed Qiuqiu?"

"Grass." Cao'er raised half of the grass in his hand and looked at Yu Sheng strangely.

"It's body is on fire!" Yu Sheng didn't know how to describe it, so he could only say this.

Cao'er was startled and lowered his head to see that the lower half of Qiuqiu's body was red, with a fiery red light coming from the inside out.

"Quick, get the wine." Cao'er said anxiously.

Yu Sheng picked up a jar of wine in one breath, turned over the counter, patted open the mud seal, and handed it to Cao'er.

Cao'er handed half of the grass to Yu Sheng, took the wine jar and carefully poured it into Qiuqiu, saying, "Remember, this kind of grass is highly poisonous."

Yu Sheng used the light to carefully look at the grass stems, "Where did you pick them?"

"By the lake, in the reeds." Cao'er stroked Qiuqiu's lower body.

Yu Sheng looked at Qiuqiu and saw that it was swallowing the wine contentedly. Its two big eyes would peek at Yu Sheng from time to time. It didn't look like he was poisoned at all.

"Isn't it uncomfortable?" Yu Sheng felt a little strange.

"I'm used to it." Cao'er breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the red light had weakened a little, "Fortunately, there is Chenmu wine. The spiritual power in the wine can help Qiuqiu detoxify."

For the rest of my life, I didn't know what to say. I could only look at this little guy, and suddenly felt that this little guy who was afraid of cats was quite great.

"I feel refreshed after smelling it. You, the shopkeeper, should also try it." Bai Gaoxing and Ye Zigao walked in at this time.

They were also shocked when they saw Qiuqiu's appearance, "What's going on?"

After hearing Yu Sheng's explanation, Bai Gaoxing touched his chin and said, "Is Qiuqiu the legendary deer lion?"

Cao'er looked up at him, "You know?"

"It is said that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs in the world and did not die, precisely because of the help of the deer lion." Bai Gaoxing said, "It is recorded in the "Stories of Strange Beasts" compiled by the city leader."

Cao'er nodded, "Well, precisely because of the relationship between the city lord and the deer lion, the doctor of Longcheng will get a deer lion when he was young."

She used her fingers to touch the tip of the ball's black nose, "The doctor and the deer get along day and night, they are very close and they are the best friends."

Qiuqiu raised his head, narrowed his eyes and responded to her. He gave a weak "squeak", which seemed to be comforting Cao'er.

Bai Gaoxing looked at Qiuqiu's red-glowing tail, "Is Qiuqiu okay?"

"It'll be fine in a while," Cao'er said, but there was still some worry in his tone.

Yu Sheng took another jar of wine from the counter and said, "Drink more. The most indispensable thing in the inn is linden wine."

Soon another bottle was poured down, and the ball burped, and the red light dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye until it was safe and sound.

The four of them felt at ease, and Ye Zigao warned: "Be careful in the future. You can't bring a jar of wine with you."

"No need." Cao'er put Qiuqiu on the long table, "Only millipedes in the world can poison Qiuqiu. It can cure other poisons. It's just a matter of how long it takes."

"The world is so big and full of wonders, it's better to be careful." Yu Sheng said and yawned, "It's late at night, let's go to bed."

Ye Zigao came over and said, "Shopkeeper, how about I sleep with you tonight?"

The groggy Yu Sheng regained his energy and took a step back, "What did you say!"

"Don't get me wrong." Ye Zigao said, "I'm just afraid that you will be scared alone."

On weekdays, Badou accompanies Yu Sheng to look after the store.

It's just that the busy farming season is approaching, and Badou and Gao Si have to work all night to make sickle farm tools, so they didn't come tonight.

"No need, you're not afraid, right?" Yu Sheng looked at him.

"You're kidding, I'm someone who dares to walk in the wilderness." Ye Zigao said, "I just think your bed is very good."

What Ye Ye Gao refers to is the mattress that I will exchange in the system for the rest of my life after my butt blossoms.

After he saw it, he never forgot it.

Cao'er, who had already gone upstairs, also ran down, "Yes, yes, why do you sleep on such a soft bed?"

"I don't think it's fair either." Bai Gaoxing said.

He tried sleeping on that bed and it was so comfortable.

Yu Sheng didn't dare to redeem it in person now, so he could only say: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm about to replace all the beds in the inn, starting with yours."

"I'll change it tonight." Cao'er couldn't wait.

"It's late at night. It's hidden in the warehouse. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Yu Sheng yawned and hurried away.
