  Thank you for the reward from WeChat user "折尾", and thank you brsxsaber for your vote. It's cold outside, remember to wear more clothes!

  Next, Song Jie left, and the little fox also left.

  Song Jie stopped, and the little fox also stopped.

  Song Jie, what's with this attitude? Why are you still lingering around? It can't be denied that she has a tiny bit of delight in her heart. If there was a small white fox that would cuddle with her every day, how wonderful would that be?

  Why not try to entice her yourself? Looking at this little fox's appearance, it should be successful, right? The trick of "luring by pretending to let go" has always been a reliable method for seniors, so why not give it a try?

  Song Jie's face turned stern, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned to the little fox following her and said, "Hey, don't follow me anymore. What's the point of following me? Go away."

  The little fox only heard the person in front of it wanting to shoo it away, so it turned around and sat down on the ground with its tail wagging back and forth, not moving at all, looking like a big shot.

  Song Jie was furious, what's wrong with this trick? Doesn't everyone fall for it? It doesn't work on animals?

  She had no choice but to change her strategy, so she softened up and squatted down, looking at the little fox and said gently: "Little fox, you see, it's not a good idea for you to follow me all the time. Why don't you leave quickly? The forest is very dangerous, there are big tigers."

  The little fox was indifferent, its eyes gazing upwards. How did Song Jie see a mocking glint in its eyes? She shook her head, thinking she must have been seeing things.

  Seeing Xiao Hu Li unmoved, Song Jie was at a loss: "I've said it already, if you don't leave now, you'll be following me forever, and there won't even be a chance for you to leave."

  The little fox heard this, got up with a roll, its small tail wagging back and forth, longer than its body, looking at Song Jie with sparkling eyes, as if to say "your proposal has won my heart, let's go quickly".

  Song Jie: "......"

  She's speechless, if she had known it was this useful, why bother with words or military tactics. So what's next, is she going to use her cunning and agility to steal the treasure? Will she be able to outsmart the bandits and get away with the loot? Or will she be caught and have to face the consequences of her actions?

  With the company of Xiao Hu Li, Song Jie had someone to talk to. Every time Xiao Hu Li gave her a sideways glance with his eyes, she would argue with him. Song Jie even gave Xiao Hu Li a nice-sounding name, calling him Xiao Li.

  With Xiaoli by her side, Songjie was no longer worried about getting lost. Under Xiaoli's guidance, she picked many rare plants. This vast forest seemed like Xiaoli's home, and Xiaoli was extremely familiar with it.

  Song Jie was delighted, indeed having familiar people made things easier. Look at the speed, it's much faster than doing it alone. This business is worth doing. She smiled so widely that her face bloomed like a flower. Xiao Li secretly rolled her eyes in disdain.

  Seeing the sun setting in the west, Song Jie saw that it was getting late and thought to herself: "I'd better hurry back. If I get caught, it'll be terrible."

  Song Jie picked up the little fox and used her light body technique, running down the mountain with a focused mind.

  The road was smooth and unobstructed, and Song Jie went down the mountain without a hitch. But looking at the little fox in her arms, she became entangled again, how to explain the sudden appearance of Little Li.

  Under great pain, Song Jie sent Xiao Li to the space, and when she saw the changing scenery, Xiao Li was stunned...

  However, the spiritual energy here is very dense. It suddenly jumped out of Song Jie's arms and started rolling around on the ground, making Song Jie laugh uncontrollably. When the little fox saw its purple fungus, it was even more excited, circling around the fungus repeatedly, so it was here after all.

  Song Jie didn't delay either, instructing Xiao Hu Li a few words before flashing out of the space. Now her task was to hurry back home.

  Halfway through, she ran into a big shot, Song Jie couldn't help but sigh at her own bad luck, it was really against the heavens.

  。

  Song Jie was thus unfortunately blocked on the road, although Da Niu didn't dare to do anything to her, but just delaying time was enough for her to drink a pot.

  Time won't listen to people's prayers and can't walk a little slower.

  Song Jie was surrounded by a group of little brats at this time, and the seconds ticked away. Sweat broke out on her forehead. What to do? What to do?

  Song Jie really hated that she couldn't use a few spells to blast these little brats in front of her, nowadays kids are truly unbearable!!

  What to do? Song Jie hated herself, at the critical moment her brain didn't turn. Forget it, she'd rather lose face than let Li Shu and the others know that she had climbed over the wall. Just thinking about their astonished gaze made her want to die.

  Don't be shy, watch my killer move.

  Song Jie burst into tears with a loud "wow", and her crying was so loud that it shocked all the little kids.

  Song Jie felt triumphant in her heart and covered her face, crying even louder. This was the real deal, with tears and all! Not fake at all.

  A bunch of little brats, they haven't even started bullying yet, and this little bean sprout is already crying, how pathetic! Big Cow waved his hand with great momentum: "Hmph, let's go, you little girlie has a small temper and will cry, how pathetic, let's go."

  Leading a large group of children dragging their feet and walking away slowly.

  Song Jie let go of his hand and watched them walk away before taking off in a sprint towards home, not running into anyone else along the way.

  She arrived at Aunt Li's door and saw that it was not open, indicating that there was no one in the house. She let out a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, Aunt Li would not return halfway, so Song Jie did not worry about going out.

  Seeing no one around, she used her old trick again, climbed over the wall, stepped on the stool and landed safely on the ground.

  With great effort, Song Jie moved the stool back into the house. Her "thumping" heart finally calmed down as she plopped herself onto the chair and panted heavily.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, in less than half an hour, Auntie Li and the others finished their work and came back. Song Jie hurriedly went to greet them, her little mouth sweetly calling out: "Auntie Li."

  Aunt Li was overjoyed and immediately put down her hoe, squatted down, picked up Song Jie, and kissed her.

  "Oh no, Nini, why are you crying? Did you fall down? Let grandma take a look at where it hurts." Then she wanted to examine her body.

  Song Jie was startled, how did she know? Suddenly thought that maybe it was when she saw Da Niu and others with swollen eyes, leaving evidence. However, this can't be said.

  Song Jie rubbed her eyes: "I dreamed of my mom...". Because she lied to someone close, Song Jie felt very ashamed and buried her face in Li Shu's arms, not daring to come out.

  Auntie Li's eyes flashed with a hint of sympathy, and she patted Song Jie's little head, saying: "Alright, alright, don't worry, your mom will be back soon. Good girl, Auntie Li will steam an egg cake for you tonight, how about that?"

  Song Jie sprang up with a "ding", nodded vigorously, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon shape, and said in a crisp voice: "Good."

  Auntie Li was delighted, and she hugged Song Jie again and gave her another big kiss. She then helped Song Jie wash her face with warm water. Song Jie felt embarrassed and twisted and turned, her cheeks as red as apples.

  In the evening, Song Jie finally got to eat the fragrant and soft steamed egg cake...
