Capítulo 1637: Chapter 1637: It Only Seeks Her Help
The only animals that could touch Gu Junbai’s barrier were those with spiritual sense, like this sika deer.
It wailed for a while, glanced around its surroundings, and then stopped struggling.
It raised its head and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao!
Yes, this little thing was indeed looking at Gu Qiaoqiao!
Gu Qiaoqiao slightly parted her red lips, surprised, as she saw the sika deer showing her a pleading look.
No wonder people describe gentle girls’ eyes as doe-like.
Because a deer’s eyes are moist and watery, looking so pitiable that even the hardest heart couldn’t help but feel sympathy.
Especially for Gu Qiaoqiao, who never intended to eat roasted venison.
She couldn’t stand such eyes from small beasts.
Innocent and pitiful.
Gu Qiaoqiao had no ti to think further and quickly walked over, squatted down, looked at the rope binding the sika deer, and glanced at Ling Nan. This brat tied it really tight, “Xiao Nan, untie the rope.”
Xiao Bai dashed over, cautiously watching Gu Qiaoqiao. With Old Man Qin present, it decided not to speak, and asked Gu Qiaoqiao via spiritual sense, “You’re not going soft at the sight of such a pitiful little thing, are you? I’m telling you, no way. I haven’t had roasted venison in years, and I’m craving it.”
Xiao Bai emphasized the last sentence particularly.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at it indifferently, communicating with Xiao Bai in a special way, “Xiao Bai, ever since you found my family’s ancestor, you’ve changed. You’re getting a bit frivolous…”
Her family’s ancestor?
Xiao Bai blinked its purple eyes. Did it? Did it really?
Although it indeed changed a bit, it defensively argued, “I haven’t, that’s your illusion. I just want to eat venison, Qiaoqiao. Venison is so delicious, haven’t you tried it? Don’t you want to taste it?”
Its voice carried a hint of temptation.
Gu Qiaoqiao remained unmoved, looking at Ling Nan, “Xiao Nan, let it go first. With you here, it couldn’t escape even if it tried…”
Ling Nan looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, acknowledging the truth in her statent. Although the sika deer was fast, it couldn’t outrun him.
While deftly untying the rope, he spoke to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, I can roast venison really well. After we kill it, I’ll let you taste my cooking skills.”
The sika deer seed to understand human speech, its eyes seed to well up with tears. After being untied, it dared not move, standing pitifully there, looking at Gu Qiaoqiao.
It looked at no one else.
Only at Gu Qiaoqiao.
Perhaps instinctively, it felt that only Gu Qiaoqiao could save its life.
Thus, its only plea for help was aid at Gu Qiaoqiao.

Gu Junbai smiled slightly; this little deer indeed seed to have so spiritual sense.
What a pity.
His expression was calm, standing silently by the side, observing what Gu Qiaoqiao intended to do, letting young people handle their matters while he and Old Master Qin watched the fun.
Old Master Qin looked at Gu Qiaoqiao and felt that this little girl seed to have softened; he lightly shook his head. Still a child, with no resistance to such small animals.
Yet he said nothing, standing by with Gu Junbai, watching what Gu Qiaoqiao and Ling Nan would do, content to let the children enjoy themselves.
Ling Nan placed the rope aside, and Gu Qiaoqiao stood up. Ling Nan, holding the rope, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, “Sister Qiaoqiao, you’re not going soft, wanting to let it go instead of eating roasted venison, are you?”
Ling Nan felt a bit troubled, having carried the sika deer hundreds of miles intending to make roasted venison for Sister Qiaoqiao.
Because around Xiao Bai and Gu Junbai, he hadn’t had roasted venison, yet roasted rabbit was plentiful, greatly advancing his culinary skills, hence wanting to impress Gu Qiaoqiao today.
Yet Qiaoqiao was, after all, a girl, often having no resistance to such little things, so if Sister Qiaoqiao really couldn’t bear to kill it, then so be it, Ling Nan disappointedly took a step back.
“This little thing doesn’t have much at, and see how clever it is, knowing to plea to . How can I bear to eat its at? Let’s release it, but thanks anyway, Xiao Nan…” Gu Qiaoqiao said with a smile.
In this household, Qiaoqiao’s word was the law, though now with Gu Junbai present, he cared little for such matters. Ling Nan scratched his head and nodded, “Alright, let it go then.”
“You’ve had quite a journey. Since we won’t have roasted venison, we’ll make sothing else for lunch. How about I make your favorite braised pork?” Gu Qiaoqiao comforted Ling Nan.
Ling Nan’s eyes brightened at the ntion of braised pork, having not had it for a long ti, noting the vast culinary differences between East and West. Rarely having eaten plentifully since coming here, and now the chance to eat braised pork, Ling Nan was delighted, “Alright, Sister Qiaoqiao, with or without the venison, it’s fine, I actually carried it here for you.”
Ling Nan spoke candidly without caring.
Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled, extending her hand to pat the sika deer’s head; this little thing knew to seek her help.
Because, only by seeking Gu Qiaoqiao here, could there be a path to survival.
When Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand landed on the sika deer’s head, the sika deer suddenly stiffened before eagerly snuggling against her palm. This was much like Xiao Bai’s first encounter with her; creatures with spiritual sense have the most acute instincts.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew this little thing would be fine with a few pats, so she patted its head and whispered, “No one will eat you now, go on, the door is open; outside it, you’ll be free.”
Gu Qiaoqiao knew it understood her words.
Originally believing the sika deer would joyfully escape, unexpectedly, the deer snuggled closer to Gu Qiaoqiao as if reluctant to leave.
Finding it strange, Gu Qiaoqiao patted the deer again and nudged its body, “You better go, or if we change our minds, we might eat your at,” Gu Qiaoqiao teased half-seriously.
But even with Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, the little deer still did not leave.
Nearby, Xiao Bai eyed it, involuntarily revealing its divine beast aura, causing the sika deer’s body to once again soften, looking fearful yet unwilling to leave.
“Little Uncle, why isn’t it leaving?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked helplessly.
“Let’s keep it for now. Sika deer are symbols of good fortune, representing happiness and prosperity. If she likes it here, it benefits the Zhou family,” Gu Junbai casually explained.
This little thing indeed had spiritual sense, otherwise, it wouldn’t have encountered his barrier. Yet at the gold mine, nothing should attract a deer’s attention, Gu Junbai wondered why it went there.
