After picking up a system

Ling Han had a hunch that this fox was no ordinary person. Chi Yi in the system space was about to get angry when he saw him, but Dandan was stroking his fur.

Ling Han felt sorry that he had no rabbit meat to eat today, so he found the fox by the scruff of its neck and carried it away.

Zhuangzi is located near the mountains, far from the county town, and sparsely populated. Ling Han just walked away in broad daylight carrying a bloody fox. No one else could see him. If they had seen him, Ling Han probably wouldn't have been able to take the fox away so smoothly.

The gate of the manor was open, and the guards and an old woman were standing outside the door, waiting. Ling Han saw them and took a few quick steps forward. The fox was swinging in her hand.

Ling Han called out to the two of them: “Guard Guo! Nanny An!”

The two men shifted their gazes to her, and their expressions relaxed, but then became solemn again when they saw the blood ball in her hand.

Guard Guo: "Miss, where did you encounter this fox?"

Nanny An also took a deep breath. The fox fairy must not be offended. If the fox was still alive, it would be fine. She could just keep it well. But if it was dead, it would be a real sin.

Ling Han held the fox high up: “I picked it up on the road.”

Guard Guo took the fox and Nanny An also stretched her head to take a look.

Still alive, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Nanny An touched Ling Han's head and said, "Our young lady is very lucky. Take good care of this fox in the future. Foxes are the most grateful creatures."

Ling Han nodded ignorantly.

Guard Guo took the fox to find the court doctor. Who would have thought that such a poor lady's manor would have a court doctor? The court doctor was a wanderer. The summer before last, he came to the manor to ask for water and stayed there.

He was the one who informed the people in the village of their problems and cured them with medicine, so no one asked them to leave. The silver he sent every year was more than enough to support one more person.

Nanny An took Ling Han's little hand, muttering something to herself as she led her into the courtyard. Ling Han turned around and watched the gate being closed. The newly bought lame servant smiled at her, and Ling Han also smiled with his teeth showing.

The maid Chunya had already boiled hot water and was pouring it into the bathtub bucket by bucket. When she saw the two of them, she smiled and said, "Miss! Nanny An!"

Nanny An let go of Ling Han and let her run forward to pounce on Chunya. Seeing the two little girls laughing, she laughed along with them.

Chunya is five years older than Ling Han and is a very capable person. She was bought for Aunt Xia because Aunt Xia took a second look at Ling Buhuan. Aunt Xia refused, so Ling Buhuan took her to his side to teach her, intending to send her over to Aunt Xia after she had been taught well.

Aunt Xia came out of prostitution with nothing but her own belongings. After arriving at the Ling Mansion, she had no one to confide in. After enjoying being taken care of by someone in the Ling Mansion for a few months, she died of complications during childbirth of Ling Han.

So Chunya, who was trained by Ling Buhuan, became Ling Han's maid.

Chunya took Ling Han to take a bath. Nanny An told Nanny Song about this matter, and the two of them went to find Guard Guo together.

……

The court doctor was also surprised when he saw the fox that Guard Guo brought over. He had traveled to many places, but had never seen such a miserable fox.

After pinching the fox's entire body, it was obvious that there were broken bones in the forelimbs. There was too much hair in other places, making it difficult to see clearly, so the court doctor suggested shaving all the hair.

When the two maids came over, they heard this and looked at each other, feeling offended. What was the difference between this and taking off someone's clothes without even saying hello?

Guard Guo thought what the prefectural doctor said made sense, so after hesitating for a moment, he stood up to get the knife. When he went out, he met two maids, greeted them, and arranged for a servant to fetch a basin of water.

The two maids were unable to help much, so they went to the place where they prayed daily to pray for the fox.

Saving the fox was risky. If they failed to save it, the fox would leave with resentment and might even cause trouble for the young lady. If they saved it, the fox would be unkind and would bite people out of fear, which would be equally difficult to deal with.

Anyway, I hope the fox is doing well.

After Ling Han finished bathing, he called Chun Ya to come over. Guard Guo had already shaved most of the fox's hair. Ling Han looked at the bald fox and the pile of hair on the ground and asked Nanny Song: "Mammy, is the fox's hair warm?"

Nanny Song was stunned: "What do you mean, young lady?"

Ling Han: "If fox fur is warm, it can be used to make clothes."

Nanny Song had never tried to make clothes with fox, but if Ling Han wanted, she could give it a try.

They did what they said. Nanny An and Nanny Song collected all the hair, washed it later, and dried it in the sun tomorrow to see if it can be used.

The fox's fur fell off, and the court doctor saw all the wounds and scratches of varying sizes on the fox's body. He was a little puzzled, as he had never heard of a fox being expelled if it lost a fight.

Medicine was applied to all the fox's wounds, big and small. The palace doctor asked Guard Guo to find a cage to lock up the fox. After all, it was an animal, and it would be bad if it hurt people.

Ling Han squatted beside him and watched for a long time. Now he came forward and asked the court doctor: "Will he not die if he takes the medicine?"

The court doctor said: "No, he has many wounds and a lot of bleeding. He will have a high fever later. If he can cool down by himself, his life can be saved. He just needs more nourishment. If he can't wake up and the high fever doesn't subside, no matter how long it takes, the God of Hell will not let him go."

Ling Han frowned, his expression pitiful: "If you want him to live, please, uncle doctor!"

The court doctor patted her head and said, "Miss, I have done everything I can. What happens next is not my responsibility."

Ling Han was crying, Chun Ya was coaxing her, Ling Han thought, the recovery ability of monsters should not be comparable to that of ordinary animals. After begging several people to save the fox to no avail, she took a step back and said that she wanted to keep the fox in her room.

This made the men hesitate. They had originally thought of putting the fox in the woodshed. If it was alive, they would give it some food. If it died, they would take it away and bury it. They hoped that the young lady would forget about it after a while. If they kept the fox in the young lady's room, it would be unsafe for her. Secondly, if the fox they took care of day and night died, the young lady would be very sad.

Several people tried to persuade her, saying that they would send someone to take good care of the fox, but Ling Han refused and asked them to either rescue the fox or keep it in her room.

None of the people wanted to choose, so Ling Han rushed over, picked up the cage, and slowly moved under the gazes of several people.

Ling Han's face turned red from trying so hard. He had not expected that a few pieces of wood could be so heavy. His original body was too heavy for a delicate lady like her to carry anything on her shoulders or with her hands. Today, she had changed hands countless times while carrying the fox back.

The little kid's behavior was somewhat amusing. Several people came over to help her pick up the cage. Ling Han held it tightly, and looked at them with red eyes full of tears. Finally, the court doctor sighed, "Forget it, forget it. If the young lady likes it, then do as the young lady wants. The young lady picked up this fox, which means that she and the young lady have a destiny. Foxes know how to repay a favor, so we don't need to worry too much."

So the fox's cage was placed in Ling Han's room, and the court physician also brought replacement herbs. He was going on a long journey tomorrow, and he heard that someone had made a prescription for treating tuberculosis, so he wanted to go and see this miraculous thing.
