Chapter 66 Lu Xiaoli
"Name it?" Lu Qing wiped his hands. "Yes, the little beast is our friend. My friends all have names, like Da Niu, Er Niu, and Xiao Hu Tou. They all have their own names!" Xiao Yan counted on her fingers and said seriously, "So the little beast should also have its own name." "Isn't it good to call it the little beast?" "Little beast doesn't sound good, and many animals are little beasts. We have to give it a special name." The little guy shook his head. Lu Qing wanted to say that there were actually a lot of names like Da Niu and Er Niu outside. He thought about it and saw the black little beast peeking in from outside the kitchen. He asked, "Little thing, what do you think? Do you want to have a name too?" The black little beast showed a thoughtful look in his eyes and nodded. "Brother, look, the little beast also wants to have his own name." Xiao Yan said happily. "In that case, let's give it one." Seeing that the black little beast had this idea, Lu Qing stopped refusing. But what name should he give it? Lu Qing thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"How about calling it Xiao Li?"
"Xiao Li?" Xiao Yan tilted her head.
The black beast also showed doubts in its eyes.
Obviously, the two little guys didn't understand the meaning of this name.
"Yes, the little beast looks like an animal called a civet cat, so it is called Xiao Li, and the word Li belongs to fire. Look at its hair, does it look like burning black flames?"
Lu Qing explained while taking a piece of charcoal and writing the word Li on it.
After this period of study, he has basically mastered the writing of the characters in this world.
Xiao Yan didn't know if she understood it, but after the black beast heard Lu Qing's explanation, it immediately felt that the name Xiao Li was very noble.
It looked at Lu Qing steadily, with a light in its eyes.
"Do you like this name?" Seeing its look, Lu Qing immediately understood, "Then you will be called Xiaoli in the future. As for the surname, you can choose it or not. If you want a surname, you can take our surname, Lu Li or Lu Xiaoli."
"Great, little beast, you have a name!" Xiaoyan said happily, "Your name is Xiaoli, and mine is Xiaoyan. Our names are very similar."
The black little beast's eyes were also touched and sparkling.
After having a name, it was easier for the black little beast to move into the Lu family.
It and Xiaoyan began to chase each other in the house.
Of course, it was mainly Xiaoli who was teasing Xiaoyan, otherwise, with its speed, even a hundred Xiaoyans could not touch it.
"By the way, Xiaoli, let me ask you something."
Seeing the black little beast having fun, Lu Qing suddenly remembered something.
Xiaoli stopped and looked at Lu Qing.
"Did someone chase you in the mountains yesterday and wanted to catch you?"
What Lu Qing remembered was the discussion of the Wei family guards that he overheard last night.
They said that their young master accidentally fell into the valley while chasing a strange black beast in the mountains.
At that time, he had some doubts whether the beast was Xiaoli, and now was a good time to ask.
Xiaoli tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded.
"Are there six or seven people who want to catch you? One of them is about my age?"
Xiaoli nodded again.
Lu Qing sweated, it was really this guy.
His expression suddenly became serious: "Xiaoli, you stay in the house recently, don't go out, if other people come, find a place to hide, don't let others see you, understand?"
Xiaoli nodded.
It doesn't like to see others anyway.
Lu Qing turned around and told his sister: "And Xiaoyan, when you go outside, you are not allowed to talk about Xiaoli's stay in our house, not even your friends, otherwise Xiaoli may be captured by others, and then you will never see Xiaoli again, understand?"
"Xiaoyan knows! Xiaoyan, don't tell anyone about Xiaoli!"
When the little girl heard that she might never see Xiaoli again, she immediately tightened her face and answered seriously.
She finally became friends with Xiaoli, and she didn't want to lose it.
Seeing Xiaoyan agreed, Lu Qing relaxed a little.
The little girl's mouth was still very tight, and he was always more assured about this.
Just like there was so much silver at home, he told her not to tell others, and until now, she has not leaked a word.
It's not that Lu Qing is too serious.
Although the young master Wei fell into the valley by himself, it was related to Xiaoli after all.
Young Master Wei almost died this time. Even if he was cured, his body was seriously injured. I am afraid that he would need to consume many precious medicinal materials to recover his body in the future.
After such a disaster, who dares to say that he would not hate Xiao Li for it?
It would be better if he could not see Xiao Li. If he saw him, he would definitely catch him and take revenge.
Lu Qing remembered that the guy's character was not very good.
Although Xiao Li was a red light spirit beast, in his assessment of supernatural powers, he was at the same level as the inner viscera realm.
But if they really faced each other, Lu Qing did not think that he could beat the guards of the Wei family.
Humans have too many fighting methods, and their minds are even more cunning, which is not something a simple spirit beast can understand.
Not to mention, the Wei family's chief steward is also a martial arts expert in the inner viscera realm.
With this in mind, Xiao Li should hide for a while and not meet the people of the Wei family.
In fact, Lu Qing wanted Xiaoli to hide in the mountains, stay away from this place for a while, and then come out after the Wei family left.
But he saw that this morning it would rather stay on the eaves all night in order to eat fish, and he knew that Xiaoli had regarded the nearby area as its territory.
I'm afraid it won't be easy to get it out of here.
If it can't resist the temptation of eating fish and sneaks over like today, the risk of exposure will be even greater.
Instead of doing this, it is better to hide it at home and avoid this period of time.
In the following time, through continued questioning, Lu Qing learned that Xiaoli did not have his parents nearby.
In this vast mountain, there is only one black night civet.
It doesn't even know how it appeared in the mountains.
All I know is that it has been living in the mountains since it became conscious, but in another area.
I recently wandered into the mountainous area behind Jiuli Village.
After knowing this, Lu Qing was truly relieved to keep Xiao Li, without having to worry that one day two mature night civets would suddenly appear and attack him.
In this way, Xiaoli officially moved into Lu Qing's home.
Because Young Master Wei's injury has stabilized, Lu Qing does not need to wait in the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain all day.
His life returned to its previous rhythm.
Every morning I go to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain to pay my respects to the master. After learning medical skills for a whole morning, I can control the rest of my time by myself.
You can go fishing, grow vegetables and practice martial arts.
For Xiaoli, such days are undoubtedly happy.
It can eat the fresh fish caught by Lu Qing every day immediately, and the taste is simply delicious.
After eating, Xiaoyan massaged and tickled it.
This day is much more comfortable than its life in the mountains.
Xiaoli didn't want to leave at all, he just wanted to stay at home like this.
As the days passed, what Lu Qing was worried about, that Xiaoli would be discovered by others, never happened.
As for Young Master Wei, under the careful treatment of the old doctor, his health improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, on the seventh day after Mr. Wei woke up, he could get out of bed and walk.
This also meant that he could withstand the bumps on the road and set off back to the Wei family.
