With these small actions, she had long understood that the clever "Little Fox" — Gu Yuxuan — had already seen through her thoughts.
Otherwise, every time her sister was not around, he was cold to her. It was as if, after pulling out the cow knee from that little ditch, Gu Yuxuan had unhesitatingly pulled his sister up the slope, but when looking at her, he hesitated and only extended a helping hand after hearing his sister urge him to quickly pull up their older sister.
So later, Ziying thought it over and decided to keep her distance from Gu Yuxuan from now on to regain her dignity, so as not to appear too cheap.
Approaching Ziyan, Ziying looked at the Lingzhi and did not recognize it; in such ancient rural families, who could afford to display Lingzhi at home?
Thus, she stared blankly at her sister holding a few Lingzhi and asked, "Sister, what is this?"
"Good stuff! It might be worth a few taels of silver," Ziyan replied calmly.
Hearing that it could be worth a few taels of silver made Ziying happy inside. She reached out to help Ziyan put it back in the basket but was met with Ziyan pulling her hand away.
Then Ziyan carefully placed the few Lingzhi into Gu Yuxuan's hands, set down the basket on her back, and gently took the Lingzhi from Gu Yuxuan's hands, carefully placing them into her own basket.
Once the Lingzhi were safely nestled in the basket, Ziyan seriously looked at Ziying and said, "This cannot be damaged at all; otherwise, its value will drop significantly."
"Oh, I see. Next time I find it, I will protect it as carefully as you do," Ziying said.
Since discovering that her sister was becoming more capable and recognized so many valuable treasures, Ziying now regarded her sister as almost a divine being. She believed everything her sister said.
Ziyan raised an eyebrow and pouted, exchanging a glance with Gu Yuxuan as if to show off. Gu Yuxuan felt speechless and helpless inside; he raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.
Little one, you have no choice but to accept it! Ziyan scolded Gu Yuxuan in her heart and then snorted coldly.
Just when everyone was thrilled about today's harvest beyond measure.
Suddenly, with a "whoosh," something silver-white darted out from the nearby thicket. It seemed to be chased by some unknown creature and rushed towards the three of them in a panic. In an instant, it dashed like a silver lightning bolt right next to Ziyan's feet, preparing to escape further.
Ziyan was momentarily startled and froze in place. Before she could react, Gu Yuxuan had already stepped forward and kicked that thing away toward a nearby cliff.
She saw that thing's head "thud" against a rock, followed by the sound of "crash" as some small stones slid down along with the silver object to the ground below the cliff.
Everyone walked over to take a look, and a poor adult silver fox was already dead on the ground.
"Ha ha."
Gu Yuxuan strode over, picked up the lifeless silver fox from the ground, and happily walked toward the Ziyan sisters. He originally wanted to say something.
But from the thicket where the silver fox had dashed out, a low, powerful "hum hum" sound came again.
Without thinking much, Gu Yuxuan immediately called the two sisters to crouch down and hide in a patch of taller grass, simultaneously raising a finger to signal for silence.
The two sisters obediently crouched down, covering their mouths with their hands and peering intently in that direction. At that moment, Gu Yuxuan quietly told them, "It should be a big fellow."
After saying that, he pulled a dagger from his boot and held it in his hand, moving lightly as he slowly advanced a short distance toward that direction.
At that moment, a large, plump gray creature suddenly burst out from the bushes. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a wild boar that weighed at least two hundred pounds.
Ziyan's heart nearly leaped out of her throat. She thought to herself: Wow, if I can bring this home, my family won't have to worry about not having meat for months.
But then she wondered, could Gu Yuxuan handle such a fierce wild boar by himself?
While Ziyan was lost in her thoughts, Gu Yuxuan had stealthily circled to the left side of the wild boar. The wild boar that had dashed out from the thicket was now standing still, looking around for the earlier silver fox.
In that moment of stillness while searching for its target, Gu Yuxuan swung his dagger and leaped next to the wild boar. With a swift motion, he drew a bright silver line across the boar's neck, instantly causing a spray of bright red liquid to erupt from it.
The wild boar let out a loud "ow ow" as it rolled on the ground but somehow managed to get back on its feet and attempted to charge forward. Gu Yuxuan then aimed for the boar's hindquarters and delivered a powerful kick.
Immediately, the wild boar crashed into the intersection of a tall green tree nearby. With a loud rustling sound, countless small light brown objects resembling many-pointed shapes fell from the tree that stood like an enormous umbrella over six or seven meters high.
The large fat wild boar let out a few weak "ow ow" sounds under that tree before it flailed its limbs in chaos and gradually stopped moving.
"Wow, Brother Yuxuan, you are so cool!"
Just a second ago, Ziyan had been watching in fear; now she ran over excitedly to praise Gu Yuxuan and circled around the hefty wild boar several times.
Unable to help but feel grateful to Heaven, she thought, "Thank you so much, Heaven! It's truly amazing how things just come to me!"
With joy blooming in her heart, Ziyan continuously called out, "Sister, sister, come here quickly!"
At that moment, Ziying, who had been hiding in the bushes, finally regained her composure after being terrified. She stumbled over cautiously.
Looking at the large wild boar that had already lost its spirit, she shook her head and took two steps back before turning to Ziyan. "Sister, this is incredible! Did Gu Young Master really kill such a big wild boar?"
As she spoke, she looked up at Gu Yuxuan with a hint of disbelief.
Gu Yuxuan, however, wore a relaxed expression and remained calm. He nodded and finally decided to respond to Ziying while raising an eyebrow at his beloved little girl. "This is just the tip of the iceberg of my abilities. I've shown you a little bit; there will be plenty of opportunities for you to see even more impressive skills in the future."
After speaking, he proudly winked at Ziyan with his charming and attractive eyes.
"Come on, would it kill you not to brag, Monster?"
Ziyan found Gu Yuxuan's demeanor somewhat amusing and a bit cute, but she still turned her face away with a huff of dissatisfaction.
Then, resting her chin on her hands while staring at the wild boar, she quickly began to plan how to make good use of it and create different delicious dishes.
The other two were puzzled by her thoughts. Ziying squatted down beside her and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
