The Little Lucky Girl

The two were so scared that they immediately dropped the bugs and ran away screaming, with the big goose chasing them closely, quacking.

The owner came out of the house and immediately put her hands on her hips and started scolding. Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew it was right to scold them when she saw the chickens flying and geese screaming, and the two children running away in a panic.

Ming Youyou and the other person ran while looking back, and finally waited until the big goose gave up, immediately stopped, bent over, gasped for breath, and then burst into laughter.

The two strolled back to the shop. There were a lot more customers than when they left. The people in the shop were too busy to handle it, so the maids took the initiative to help entertain them.

Ming Youyou expressed her gratitude and gave her the latest two brands of lip balms with a wave of her hand.

Seeing how happy the little maid was, Ming Youyou thought about it and decided to bring some to all the women he knew in the county government.

When he went out, he thought of County Magistrate Tao and Lawyer He again. He sighed, turned around and picked up a few more bottles. Finally, he returned to the county government with a lot of bags.

The peacock was still curled up on the straw mat in a listless look. People from the county government took turns to visit it. They were all very worried, which affected the festive atmosphere a lot.

"Just bear with it a little longer." Ming Youyou whispered to comfort it, threw the remaining insects in, and then waited for dark.

In the dead of night, a man in strange clothes quietly opened the door.

"Your protective suit is not good. It's very stuffy after just a short while. I'm sweating." Ming Youyou complained.

"Who told you to insist on buying the cheapest one?" The system was not to blame. "If you buy the one I recommended, I guarantee you will feel the warmth and comfort of a spring breeze."

"But this one also has its advantages. It's thick enough, so I'm not afraid if the peacock pecks me later." Ming Youyou tried hard to find a balance for herself.

The system scanned it and said, "No one is around now, you can start."

Ming Youyou walked out with difficulty, holding up her pants. This old-fashioned protective suit had long been discontinued, and now there was only one model available that was more than twice her height.

She kicked and rubbed in front of the peacock. The peacock raised his eyelids to take a look at this strange "thing", then shrank back.

Ming Youyou saw that it had eaten all the insects that he threw in in the afternoon, so he put some more in and hid the copper cicada underneath.

Everyone waited quietly, but the peacock just sat there with his eyes narrowed, motionless, and ignored the insects.

The system said: "Maybe you are too close, so it doesn't dare to eat."

Ming Youyou had no choice but to pull on her protective suit and hide in the rockery with great difficulty.

After a long while, the system announced: "It started eating... noticed the copper cicada... Don't worry, it's still observing... OK, its mouth is held shut."

Ming Youyou ran out happily, but then tragically tripped over her protective suit and rolled all the way across the rockery until she arrived in front of the peacock's cage.

The protective suit was indeed thick and somewhat elastic. Ming Youyou saw that not only was she not injured but she felt quite comfortable. She simply stopped standing up and rolled around a few more times in her cocoon shape.

The peacock was so shocked that it forgot that its mouth was stuck and came over to look at the scene curiously. Ming Youyou rummaged around in her clothes to free herself, then stood up quickly, grabbed the peacock's neck with one hand and took out the potion with the other...

The next day, the sun was already high in the sky when Ming Youyou yawned and walked out of the room. She wandered to the peacock's yard and found that almost everyone in the county government office was gathered there.

"Why are you up so late?" Feng Xu was the first to notice her. "Come and see the peacock. It seems to have recovered on its own."

The peacock shook off its previous dejection and walked around in the cage proudly as when it was first brought in.

But when he saw Ming Youyou, he slowed down a lot and nodded several times.

Ming Youyou said to the system happily: "It knows that I cured it, and it is thanking me."

The system was silent for a moment. "It doesn't seem so. Look, it nods more at Lu Tai."

Ming Youyou: ...

Feng Xu said: "Let me tell you a funny story. Last night, I woke up and looked outside in a daze. Guess what I saw?"

Ming Youyou suddenly thought of herself and asked nervously, "What did you see?"

"There was a white thing jumping around. I thought I saw a ghost at first. Then the thing actually fell down by itself. I knew I was wrong. How could a ghost be that stupid? Hahaha."

Ming Youyou: ...

The old doctor came to see him again and confirmed that Peacock was finally out of danger. But it had been several days since it was caught, so to avoid further misunderstandings, Magistrate Tao decided to personally take someone to deliver it to the Golden Tooth Tribe.

Ming Youyou and the others followed behind. They set out at dawn and walked until noon. After climbing over another mountain, they finally arrived at the bank of the Jinshui River.

Everyone looked at the roaring and rushing river that seemed to be rushing to the end of the sky, and they forgot to speak for a moment.

After a long while, Magistrate Tao said quietly: "The sound of the waves roars from the ground, hits the mountain several feet high and then returns. In a moment, it flows into the sea, and the sand rolls up like snow piles. This scene should be the most amazing scene in Lingnan."

Master He also sighed: "The river is so turbulent that only highly skilled boatmen can control it. I wonder how the Golden Tooth Clan usually gets in and out."

He looked at Sun the peddler, who understood and immediately stood on the shore and shouted towards the other side.

After a while, a response came from the other side.

After another cup of tea, a long rope was brought out from the opposite mountain with a three-claw iron hook tied to the front. The strong man on the opposite side twisted the rope a few times and threw it hard. The iron hook and the rope quickly attached to the cliff on their side.

The rope was about seven or eight meters long, and as thick as an adult's calf. Everyone estimated it in their minds and couldn't help but admire, "What great strength and accuracy."

When the person on the opposite side saw that the iron claw was fixed, he slowly released a large bamboo basket along the rope.

Ming Youyou had the sharpest eyes and exclaimed, "There's someone in the bamboo basket."

Everyone understood that the Golden Tooth Tribe was using the position difference to let the bamboo basket slide over by itself. When they wanted to go back, they just had to shout to the other side to ask them to lower the rope, and they could slide back again.

Zheng Huan said with emotion: "The people in the bamboo basket are very courageous to travel on such a turbulent river."

Feng Xu said with a sigh, "This place has such a natural barrier. It is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Ming Youyou stared at the protrusions carved out on the cliff and asked curiously, "This is to allow the iron claws to grip firmly. They are left there on purpose. It must take a lot of effort to hammer on such hard rock."

Magistrate Tao nodded and said, "Look, the lowest parts have already been weathered. I'm afraid it would take more than one generation to complete this trace of the mountain. It should be the result of generations of their people working together over the years."
