River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 371
Thirty miles away from Mingyang City.

In a deep pit in the wild, a yellow dog that was starved to the bone finally crawled out.

All four of its claws had cracked nails and were bleeding from all sides.

But when it crawled out, hope was shining in its eyes. Looking at the sun in the sky, it barked happily a few times.

One day two months ago, the master it guarded was forcibly taken away by some strangers. It chased along the way, but accidentally fell into a trap dug by the hunter. It was seven or eight meters deep and had steep walls. , it will be difficult to climb out.

Fortunately, in this deep pit, other prey fell from time to time.

Such as hares, mountain rats and the like.

it feeds on it,

But this kind of food is not available every day. On the longest day, it has not eaten half a mouthful of food for seven or eight days.

Fortunately, there was water in the cave, so he survived.

Every time after accumulating energy, it uses its claws to dig on the hard soil wall.

Over time.

Finally, it allowed it to pile up the soil on the left to the right, and piled up a little bit to a certain height, and then it managed to climb out.

But a dog is a dog after all, not a gopher, and the soil here is hard, digging out of the eight-meter-deep hole, the price it paid was more than two months and the nails on all four paws were scratched.

When it came out, its limbs trembled.Long-term nutritional deficiencies and overwork make it almost impossible to stand upright as before.

It sniffed the smell of the ground,
Suddenly there was a sad look in his eyes.

It has been more than two months, time has passed too long, and it has rained several times during this period.

The smell on the road is long gone.

It wanted to find the master, but couldn't do it.

It whimpered a few times on the spot, looked in the direction of Mingyang City, and finally limped back with its tail curled up.

In the past few days, Mingyang City has also been guarded by strict soldiers, and all passers-by will be strictly interrogated.

Those who have no way to lead are not allowed to enter.

At the moment, half of the people guarding the gate of the city are from the yamen, and the other half are new guards.

Mingyang City has a great reputation. In the past few months, people have come here to escape the war every day, and the number is extremely high.

Also because there are more and more people, the local aristocratic family is displeased, so they also discussed with the government. In recent days, even if there is a way to lead, they can't easily enter again.

Most of them were resettled in the outer city and built many shanty houses.

At this moment, while the soldiers were laughing and talking, suddenly a skinny yellow dog ran from outside and was about to enter the city with a limp.

When a guard saw it, he drew out his knife and was about to kill him: "Where is the dead dog that doesn't have long eyes, just kill it and eat dog meat."

A yamen servant saw him, but quickly stopped him: "Brother, wait a moment."

As soon as he stopped him, the yellow dog was not afraid, and wagging its tail, it slipped past the two of them and went into the city.

The guard frowned: "What? Your dog?"

Yamen servant: "This is not my dog. It looks like Jiangyuelou's dog. I heard that it disappeared for a long time. Unexpectedly, it came back again."

Guard: "The dog in Jiangyuelou, is it more expensive? Can't you eat it?"

The yamen servant smiled, "The shopkeeper of Jiangyuelou was very nice, and he used to treat the yamen brothers a lot. For my brother's sake, let's spare it. Besides, it is so thin that it doesn't have a few catties of meat. , nothing to eat."

Hearing what he said, the guard didn't care about it anymore, and just said: "Speaking of Jiangyuelou, the taste is really not as good as before."

Yamen servant: "That's right. After the former shopkeeper left, although the back kitchen is still the same team, they still can't make that taste. Now that there are wars everywhere, I don't know if I can eat the authentic preserved fish nuggets in my lifetime. gone."

In the city, at the gate of Jiangyue Tower, a gentleman in Confucian shirt was coming out at this moment.

Xiao Er sent him to the door, bowed his back and bowed his back, very flattering: "Master, go slowly, Master, come when you have time."

This Confucian shirt boy is full of immortality, and he is not stained by dust.Just like walking in a painting, every move is extravagant.

Confucian shirts are green on the outside and white on the inside, like the flowers of a pure lotus, with clear ripples and no demons, and a pavilion with pure plants.

He heard Xiaoer's words, and with a flick of his finger, an ingot of ten taels of silver fell on the ground: "If that Jiangling comes back, just burn the stick of sandalwood I gave you as I said before. Afterwards, I have another reward."

Xiao Er looked at Yin Zi, and his eyes glowed green.

The reason why he pleases this person so much is because this person spends a lot of money.

Before inquiring in the store, this person rewarded him with ten taels of silver, and now he gave him another ten taels of silver.

This is a full 20 taels of silver, and it is normal to earn it. With his salary as a mistress, it will take two or three years to earn it.

Xiaoer hurriedly picked up the silver and stuffed it into his pocket, for fear of being seen by others: "Young master, don't worry, rest assured, once Jiangling comes back, I will definitely light the sandalwood."

Just after saying this, the skinny yellow dog ran towards the store.

Seeing Xiao Er, he hurriedly scolded him and refused to let him in.

But the yellow dog growled at him and bared its fangs.

Xiao Er took a closer look, and suddenly recognized it. Isn't this Da Huang who has been missing for more than two months?
"Hey, you dead dog, after running away for so long, you know how to come back?"

Although what Xiao Er said was unpleasant, he still stepped aside and let the yellow dog in.

Now the shopkeeper in the store is Tang Qi who Jiang Ling personally accepted his fate. If the yellow dog came back a few days earlier and was taken over by the Lin family, he would have been beaten to death with a random stick.

But Tang Qi is very loyal now, this Lin Yuewei's dog is at least half the owner of the store, if he is negligent, once Tang Qi finds out, he will inevitably be reprimanded.

But as soon as the yellow dog stepped into the door, it stopped.

It turned its head and stared at the young man in Confucian shirt, as if it smelled something he didn't like.Bared his teeth a few times.

Mr. Rushan was about to leave when he heard a dog barking and saw the yellow dog looking hostile towards him.It also showed displeasure.

Xiaoer hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "My lord, don't blame me. As the saying goes, dogs look down on people. This dead dog hasn't come back for many days. Don't take offense if you don't know noble people."

After finishing speaking, he also reprimanded the yellow dog: "Don't bark indiscriminately. If you scare the guests, Mr. Jiang will definitely punish you when he comes back. Hurry up and stay in the backyard."

But the yellow dog didn't listen, and just stared at the young man in Confucian shirt with angry eyes.

Young Master Confucian Shan suddenly said "Oh" and asked, "Is this dog raised by Jiang Ling?"

Xiao Er nodded: "Actually, it is the dog of shopkeeper Yuewei, but it is said that this dog was first brought back by Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang let him guard shopkeeper Yuewei, and it has been guarding it all the way from Linzhou County. Mingyang City. This dog is quite loyal, but he ran out out of some nerve two months ago, probably to find a bitch. Tsk tsk, he doesn't know how to control himself, so he's so skinny."

Mr. Rushan murmured: "The person who didn't find him found his dog. It's not a waste of time."

While speaking, Mr. Confucian shirt rolled up his long sleeves and brushed towards the yellow dog.

Then Xiaoer felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the young man in Confucian shirt disappeared suddenly.

Together with the yellow dog, it disappeared completely.

Xiao Er chased him to the street, looked left and right, but he didn't see the Confucian shirt boy.

I couldn't help scratching my head: "Did I see a ghost in broad daylight? How can this person disappear without seeing him?"

Touching his bosom, he laughed secretly again, no matter whether this person is a man or a ghost, as long as the money is real, that's enough.
