Gu Shiyi hummed and said,

"A trace of money can stump a heroic man. What's more, I am not a hero. You don't need to eat and drink, but I need to eat and drink. Now there are more little ancestors like you. You ask it, thinking about leaving, it How many chickens did you show off in one go in the inn!"

After eating so much, I couldn’t bear it for a long time. It would be weird if I didn’t get motion sickness if I rocked like this in the car again!

She is not without money, but she gave a large sum of money to the monks in the temple. There is still a long way to go in the future, and the money must be spent sparingly!

Li Yan'er was also very angry and funny towards the red fox. She said that Gu Shiyi was a stingy person at first glance. From now on, they would be reluctant to feed it chicken every time they traveled on their own, so they had to eat in the inn first before talking, so they took a breath It ate three live chickens and didn't stretch it to death, so it was considered lucky!

"Hey..."

The red fox seemed to have heard what they were saying, snorted, tilted his head, and some yellow water came out from the corner of his mouth, but he had vomited all the contents in his stomach, and now there was only sour water left in his stomach!

Gu Shiyi reached out and tugged its furry ears.

"Hey, how are you? Are you dead? You haven't made a sound yet. If you are dead, I can peel off your skin while it's hot. The fox skin on your body is worth a lot of money!"

"Hey..."

The red fox opened his eyes and glanced at Gu Shiyi bitterly.

"It's a pity for those three chickens. When they get settled, you can buy me another one..."

Gu Shiyi hummed,

"Let's talk about it after you can eat it!"

"I can eat..."

The red fox replied feebly, and Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes at it. At this moment, he heard the driver in front of him say to Gu Shi,

"Guest, we have arrived at Shilipu. The sun is setting now. Should we rest here for the night, or should we go to the next town?"

Gu Shiyi asked,

"How far is the next town from here?"

The driver said,

"There's still fifty miles to go!"

Fifty miles away, isn't that a night journey?

"Then... let's stay here tonight!"

The coachman responded, drove the carriage into the street, and stopped in front of an inn. The owner of the inn came to greet him. Gu Shiyi got off the horse with his baggage, and the coachman took the carriage to the backyard to give him water. Got it.

This inn is a mom-and-pop shop with only two employees. The boss serves as the front desk, shopkeeper, and waiter, and the wife serves as the cook and cleaning lady. The boss welcomed Gu Shiyi into the room, and not long after, the wife came in with steaming meals. Although the food in the countryside does not taste very good, nor is it big fish or meat, the advantage is that it is plentiful and filling. Gu Shiyi does not choose, he eats whatever is available, as long as it can fill his stomach.

Gu Shiyi asked the landlady while eating,

"Boss lady, do you have any live chickens?"

The landlady smiled and said,

"How many of them are we keeping in the backyard?"

Gu Shi said,

"How much does it cost to sell a live chicken for copper coins?"

The landlady smiled and said,

"Although chickens are not expensive, not every family raises them. I raise these chickens to lay eggs..."

Gu Shiyi understood it as soon as he heard it. He nodded immediately, took out a handful of coins, counted twenty coins and gave them to the landlady.

"Is it enough?"

"Enough! Enough! Just buy two and that's enough!"

Gu Shiyi pointed at the red fox lying on the bed and said,

"Catch one and leave it alone for my pet to eat!"

The landlady nodded, went down and picked out the thinnest one, covered it with a basket and placed it in the yard. She came in and said to Gu Shi,

"Sir, the chicken is in the yard, how about... I kill it for you?"

Gu Shiyi shook his head,

"No, when it wants to eat, it will eat by itself!"

The landlady glanced at the red fox with some confusion.

"Your pet is so spiritual!"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"What kind of spirituality is there? It's just a little beast!"

The landlady laughed and went out. Gu Shiyi asked the red fox while eating his food,

"How are you? Can you eat it? Don't say I'm stingy. I bought it for you!"

The red fox twitched Tian's belly twice and said,

"I'll eat it later, I don't have any appetite yet!"

Gu Shiyi smiled, finished eating, and asked for hot water to take a shower. When he dried his hair and came out, he saw that the red fox on the bed was gone, and only Li Yaner was left meditating on the bed.

"Where did it go?"

Li Yaner responded,

"It said...it still feels uncomfortable, so I went to the back mountain to find some herbs to eat..."

This ability to find medicine for oneself is a racial talent of beasts, and humans cannot learn it. Gu Shiyi is not worried about what powerful monsters he will encounter in the back mountains. After all, the red fox has been a vixen for hundreds of years. Those who can't be beaten will come back on their own!

The red fox came back in the middle of the night. Gu Shiyi and Li Yaner had finished meditating for a week and were sitting in front of the window chatting. When they saw it squeeze in through the crack in the door, they asked,

"You're back?"

The red fox nodded and jumped on the stool. First he lowered his head and licked his chest hair, and then licked his front paws carefully. He looked like he was going to sleep and doing personal hygiene. Gu Shiyi smelled the smell of blood, and then ask,

"Did you eat that chicken?"

The red fox nodded,

"My stomach was so empty that I finally recovered after eating a chicken..."

Gu Shiyi laughed at it,

"Take it easy and don't overeat again!"

The red fox rolled his eyes at her,

"I know what's appropriate!"

After taking care of his fur, he jumped on the bed and went to sleep. Gu Shiyi also went to bed, leaving only Li Yan'er to start chanting sutras in front of the magic pestle. Gu Shiyi fell into a deep sleep listening to the low chanting sound. Go, this time at dawn, there was a banging sound on the door outside,

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Gu Shiyi was awakened from his sleep and was stunned for a moment before asking,

"What's the matter?"

The voice of the landlady said,

"Sir, please open the door quickly. It's urgent!" Gu Shiyi didn't know why, so he put on his clothes and went to open the door. He saw the landlady standing in front of the door with an anxious look on his face. When he saw her coming out, he covered his face and said,

"Sir, we don't like this. It's just a chicken. Why did your fox eat all my chickens?"

"what……"

Gu Shiyi didn't understand.

"What... ate everything? You said... I, the fox, ate all your chickens?"

The landlady nodded and said angrily and crying,

"Those are the chickens I raise for laying eggs. You just gave me twenty copper coins and ate all seven chickens. This...how can this happen!"

"Seven chickens?"

Gu Shiyi's eyes widened and he looked back to see the red fox's head emerging from the quilt on the bed.

"You ate all seven chickens?"

The red fox was furious and bared his teeth at her,

"I can eat it. I...do you think I'm a loser?"

That's right... three chickens would vomit it up, but seven chickens wouldn't stretch it to death!

Gu Shiyi finally came back to his senses and said to the landlady,

"Don't be impatient. Speak slowly..."

After saying that, he pointed at the red fox and said,

"Houselady, look at me, a fox. Can I eat seven chickens in one go?"

The landlady took one look at the red fox's figure, which was almost like a dog, and was stunned, and then said,

"My chickens are well raised. When the guest came without him, none of the chickens were lost. Yesterday when you came here, I had a total of eight chickens, and they were all gone!"

Gu Shiyi frowned, thought for a while and said,

"Take me to see if you can. Maybe it was eaten by a wild beast from the back mountain!"

The landlady turned around and took her to see, but she said,

"The mountain behind us is just a small hillside. There are no wild animals except some weeds. How can we eat chickens?"

This carriage led Gu Shiyi to the chicken area at the back to take a look. Sure enough, he saw chicken feathers and chicken excrement all over the ground. The chicken coop was empty. Indeed, there was not a single chicken left!

Gu Shiyi went in and walked around the bamboo fence, but found nothing suspicious. Then he and the proprietress went to the place where the baskets were placed in the yard, pointed to that place and said to her,

"Look...my fox eats chicken, how can it be so clean, not even a trace of blood is left..."

When the proprietress took a look, she saw that the basket had been opened, and there were chicken feathers and blood on the ground. There was also a chicken head left there. The comparison at the scene was obvious. The red fox's eating appearance was not so neat!

The landlady also believed it at this time, and immediately started crying, slapping her thighs.

"My chickens! There are seven chickens in total... This is the murderer who brought trouble to me!"

It’s not easy to raise a few chickens in this remote area, but all of them disappeared suddenly. Naturally, the wife of the boss cried in distress. The boss who came after hearing the news was also very angry and stamped his feet. But he was an honest man and couldn’t curse. He was so angry that his face turned red, his neck became thick, and his lips trembled.

When Gu Shiyi saw this, he advised,

"Don't worry, you two. I'll help you look for it. I don't know if someone in this town has dirty hands and feet and stole it!"

Both of them said,

"There are just a few families in our town, and everyone knows better than to do this..."

Listening to what these two people mean, they still doubt themselves!

Gu Shiyi felt a little unhappy. When she returned to the room and closed the door, the red fox howled at her,

"I didn't eat her chicken. I ate one when I came back last night..."

Gu Shiyi naturally believed it and asked,

"Did you notice anything strange when you came back yesterday?"

The red fox thought for a moment and shook his head.

"No, when I came back from the back mountain, I passed by the chicken coop. The chickens were still there at that time!"

So, it was after the red fox came back that the chicken disappeared!

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and wanted to call the old monk out.

"Master of the Ten Commandments, did you feel anything last night?"

The old monk shook his head,

"Amitabha, I didn't notice it!"

"It's just a few chickens. If you eat them, you can eat them. The worst thing you can do is give them some money!"

"fart!"

Gu Shiyi glared,

"It's not for us to eat, so why should we pay for it!"

Immediately after driving the old monk back, Li Yaner also said,

"I read the scriptures for half the night last night and didn't notice anything unusual..."

After thinking for a while he said,

"And...if those chickens were stolen or eaten, how could they not crow even once?"
