The little girl's heart couldn't help but clench at this scene.

Who is that woman?

She muttered to herself, her eyes gazing blankly out the window in the darkness.

"She must be very important to Dad..."

"Dad's gone missing. Did he go to rescue her?"

Thinking of this, Mengmeng felt even more heartbroken, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face again.

She bit her lip and said firmly in her heart, "I want to help Dad. I must save that woman and stop Dad from being so sad."

Because of that dream, Mengmeng felt very heavy-hearted.

When Gu Shiyu came to wake her up, she was curled up in bed, feeling down.

Gu Shiyu walked over and gently patted her little shoulder. "Mengmeng, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Mengmeng rubbed her eyes and asked softly, "Brother, when is Daddy coming back? I miss him..."

Gu Shiyu paused, a heavy feeling settling over him.

He knew that Mengmeng had just had a father and would be very dependent on him.

But Dad went back to Europe, and Mom... is over there. Dad won't leave easily once he sees Mom.

But he didn't want Mengmeng to be down, so he gently comforted her: "Daddy has to go away for a while this time, but your brother will stay with you."

"When you come back tonight, your brother will bring you something delicious. What do you want to eat?"

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, recalling the delicious fried chicken on the screen when she and Xiaobai watched TV together last night, which made Xiaobai's mouth water.

She regained some of her energy, and her eyes lit up: "Brother, I want to eat fried chicken!"

Gu Shiyu breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her smile gradually return, and patted her little head.

"Okay, fried chicken, I'll bring it to you tonight."

After seeing Gu Shiyu off in the car, Mengmeng excitedly ran to the vegetable garden to check on the growth of the vegetables.

However, when she stood by the vegetable garden, the sight before her made her heart skip a beat.

Dozens of green vegetables were riddled with holes, fruits and vegetables were scattered on the ground, some were trampled to pieces, and there were even a few traces of blood on the ground.

"Ah! My vegetables..."

Mengmeng pouted, looking extremely sad. Her little hands gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, and her eyes were full of heartache.

Gu Shiche arrived quickly and frowned upon seeing the scene.

He quickly took Mengmeng back to the monitoring room and pulled up the video footage.

In the surveillance footage, a group of wild boars and raccoons are seen frantically fighting over food.

During the struggle, they even fought each other. Some animals were bitten until their skin was torn open, and blood dripped onto the vegetable field. Crushed fruits and vegetables were scattered all over the ground, creating a chaotic scene.

"This carrot is mine! Don't you dare take it!" The raccoon bared its teeth angrily, a carrot dangling from its mouth.

"I saw it first! Get out of the way!" the wild boar growled, nudging the raccoon and sending it flying several meters away.

"Stop hitting us! We have plenty of food!" The little squirrel jumped up and down anxiously, but there was nothing it could do.

Mengmeng stared intently at the screen, her heart pounding, her eyes filled with worry.

She could understand what the animals were saying, and she felt sorry for them, but also thought they were too greedy.

"They are badly injured..."

Mengmeng's voice was choked with sobs, and her little face was full of heartache.

Gu Shiche patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, we can install soft netting in the vegetable garden to keep them out."

Mengmeng shook her head, a determined glint in her eyes.

"I don't want to drive them away, second brother. Can I leave them a small piece of land to eat? They're injured, and I can't bear to see them like this."

Gu Shiche looked at her with some surprise, then smiled.

"Okay, let's leave them a small plot of land."

The stars were faint at night.

Mengmeng, holding a small flashlight, secretly waited by the vegetable garden.

Her heart was pounding as she wondered if the little animals would come back.

Sure enough, not long after, the wild boars and raccoons quietly sneaked into the vegetable garden again.

They seemed to remember the fight from the previous night, approaching each other cautiously and moving with great care.

"Don't be afraid, I won't send you away."

Mengmeng emerged from the shadows and spoke softly.

The animals immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at Mengmeng with some alarm.

But soon, the injured animals sensed her spiritual power and cautiously approached.

Bloodstains remained on the raccoon's body.

Mengmeng gently crouched down to bandage the wounds of the injured animal.

She stroked their fur and said gently, "I've left a small vegetable patch for you to eat, but you can only eat from here. You can't destroy any of the other vegetables, understand?"

The little animals nodded and affectionately surrounded Mengmeng, some rubbing their noses against her arm, others gently licking her palms, as if to express their gratitude.

They looked adorable, their eyes filled with dependence and gratitude.

"Be good, all of you."

Mengmeng smiled, her eyes crinkling, and gently stroked them.

"Let's not fight anymore, let's all live peacefully together, okay?"

The animals all nodded and obediently began to forage only in the designated vegetable patch, no longer fighting or damaging other areas.

As Mengmeng watched their retreating figures, she felt a surge of satisfaction and finally felt relieved.

Mengmeng thought the incident of the animals trying to steal her vegetables was over.

To everyone's surprise, a "new guest" visited the vegetable garden.

Late at night, she was sleeping soundly with the little white fox in her arms when she vaguely heard a low growl.

Through the window, I could vaguely see an animal shaped like a cat.

Mengmeng happily climbed off the bed and ran to the vegetable garden in her little slippers.

The little white fox followed behind Mengmeng, and trembled as it looked at the dark figure in the distance.

It quickly recognized that it wasn't a kitten, but a young leopard!

Xiaobai was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly reminded Mengmeng.

"Squeak squeak squeak~~ Mengmeng! That's not a cat, it's a leopard! Danger! Don't go near it!"

However, Mengmeng was fearless and ran up to the leopard with great curiosity.

The young leopard was squatting on the ground, munching on vegetables from the garden.

Mengmeng tilted her head and asked in surprise, "When did the cat start eating vegetarian food? Xiao Hei doesn't eat vegetarian food."

The leopard sensed the magical spiritual power emanating from Mengmeng, and its originally wary eyes instantly became docile. It slowly circled around Mengmeng.

Mengmeng moved closer and discovered that the "big cat" had many wounds and was covered in blood.

"Mimi~~ How did you get so many injuries?"

Mengmeng felt extremely sorry for the leopard and summoned a spirit butterfly, which then fluttered around the leopard.

The wound began to heal in a short while.

The leopard lay quietly at Mengmeng's feet, comfortably enjoying the healing power of the fairy butterfly.

Mengmeng stroked the leopard's soft fur.

The leopard felt her gentle touch, closed its eyes comfortably, and let out a low purring sound.

It looks even more like a cat now.

Little White, who was hiding to the side, was completely stunned by the fox.

Its eyes widened, its tail trembled uncontrollably, and it kept muttering to itself, "Squeak squeak squeak... This is a leopard! How can it make such a sound? It's unbelievable..."

"Mimi~~ Where do you live?" Mengmeng asked.

The leopard lowered its head and let out a gentle growl. "I live in the mountains, but... I don't know how to hunt. I only came down the mountain to find food when I was starving. These vegetables are unusual; they emit a spiritual light, so I ate them."

Mengmeng's eyes were full of pity: "Mimi, you're so pitiful~ You have no home and you don't know how to hunt."

"How about... I ask my brother if you can stay at the Gu family's house? That way you won't go hungry!"

The little white fox hiding in the distance heard this and was so frightened that its teeth chattered.

"Squeak squeak squeak~ This won't do!"

If we let it stay, wouldn't Little Black and me become its snacks?

early morning

Gu Jingsi, Nan Yuan'er, Gu Shiyu, and Gu Shiche went downstairs together.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I was startled by the scene before me.

Mengmeng was squatting on the ground, and in front of her lay a leopard wagging its tail, looking as docile as a big cat.

Gu Shiyu tensed up instantly, quickly stepped forward, picked up Mengmeng, and held her tightly in his arms.

With a grave expression, he ordered, "Quickly call the bodyguards in and control this leopard!"

"Brother, no!" Mengmeng hurriedly stopped him.

He looked at Mengmeng with concern, his tone serious.

"Mengmeng, this isn't a pet, it's a wild beast! It might go berserk and eat people!"

Mengmeng opened her eyes wide and explained, "Brother~ Mimi won't hurt anyone. It's so pitiful, it has no home."

Gu Shiyu frowned, his face full of worry.

Mengmeng tilted her head and said softly, "Brother~ Mimi is very good. She eats vegetables and doesn't eat meat."

As she spoke, Mengmeng picked up a vegetable leaf from the table and tossed it to the leopard.

The leopard obediently accepted the vegetables and ate them calmly, showing no signs of ferocity.
