After Gui Kairong finished his errands, he came to pick up Gui Kailan and brought half a slab of lamb for Yunyi and the others.
Huo Jingrui looked at the lamb being carried into the yard: "Where did it come from?"
Gui Kairong washed his hands in a basin of water sunning in the yard and said, "I happened to visit an old friend on my way today. Their team's flock was ravaged by wolves. After the villagers chased away the wolves, they found that, apart from the ones bitten to death, nearly half of the remaining sheep had been bitten, and only a few could be saved.
Out of a herd of over a hundred sheep, only one-third remained unharmed, but all were scared out of their wits.
When I went there, I helped them out a bit, and this half slab of lamb was given by the village as a reward.
I originally didn't want it, but my friend insisted, and I couldn't refuse their kindness, so I accepted it.
