Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 158 Walking in the Snow

"Grandpa, don't talk about this anymore. What do you think of what your grandson just said?" Yang Tao changed the subject.

Yang Boyun calmed down and said: "I have also thought about what you said. Xu Shigao may not be targeting you, but as long as there is a slight possibility, he cannot be allowed to stay in Yangzhou. Even if the people sent by Bianjing are bribed by him, they will leave. For something like this, his position will definitely change."

Yang Tao nodded when he heard this, was silent for a while, and said, "Grandpa, my grandson wants to make friends with that Li An."

"What? You want to find out about him?" Yang Boyun asked.

Yang Tao shook his head and said, "My grandson just wants to make friends."

Yang Boyun was startled, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and said: "You are old, you don't need to ask me about making friends, you can just do it yourself."

Because Yang was disliked by the officials for no reason, the students in Yangzhou kept away from Yang Tao for fear of being implicated.

Yang Tao has few real friends, and he has been burdened with expectations since he was a child, which makes him feel distressed.

……

Li An was bored in the afternoon, thinking that he hadn't had barbecue for a long time, so he took Shi Zhu and Desheng out.

First, he found a blacksmith shop and asked someone to build a barbecue grill according to his requirements. Then he went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of barbecue vegetables.

When I came out of the vegetable market, I saw a middle-aged man squatting on the roadside at the entrance of the market. There was a bamboo basket in front of him with three puppies in it.

Many people in later generations like to keep pets. In fact, it was the same in ancient times.

Especially during the Tang and Song Dynasties, princes and nobles liked to keep dogs.

Emperor Taizu once had a flower dog, which was buried next to his mausoleum.

Su Shi wrote in his poems that he holds the yellow on the left and the green on the right.

Li An also saw many people raising dogs in Bianjing. He had always wanted to keep one, but he was afraid that Liu Xuewen would say it was a plaything.

Now that I saw those puppies, I felt a little excited for a moment.

When the man selling the dog saw Li An looking at the puppy in the basket, a warm smile appeared on his face.

"Does this young master want to buy a dog? These puppies are more than a month old, so they'd better be fed."

"Let me consider."

Hearing this, Li An stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at the puppy in the basket.

There are three pups in total, and they should have been born in one litter.

At this time, wealthy nobles liked to raise dogs, and they all liked to raise pugs that would not grow up.

These three brats were obviously not, they were just ordinary local dogs.

The three paparazzi are all black, two have some white spots on their bodies, and only one is pure black.

Li An saw that the three puppies were chubby and cute, so he stretched out his hand to tease them.

When the puppies saw Li An reaching out, two of them shrank back in fear. Because they were in the basket, they huddled together and shivered.

"Woo~wow~"

Only the pure black one didn't flinch and even barked at Li An.

Just because he is still too young, his screams are a bit strange and lack any momentum, but instead give people a cute feeling.

Only then did Li An realize that the pup was not completely black. The hair on the four paws was white, and the rest was completely black.

I was blocked before because I was with two other puppies.

"Woo~wow~"

Seeing that Li An was not afraid, the puppy also smiled at him. He felt that his dignity was being challenged and kept barking at Li An.

"Little thing, you are too fierce!"

Li An smiled and gave him a brain blow.

The puppy whimpered in pain, but did not run back. Instead, he licked Li An's hand.

"Master, little..."

When the man selling the dog saw Li An reaching out, he wanted to remind him to be careful, for fear that his dog would bite Li An.

Unexpectedly, the dog gave up so quickly, and he started to sell it with a smile: "It seems that this bitch likes the young master very much. Why don't you buy it back and keep it? My female dog was brought from an old hunter." , that is a hunting dog. The young master bought it and raised it, and it will be a good helper in the future whether it is guarding the house or taking it out for hunting."

"How much?" "It's not expensive, only one tael of silver."

Li An didn't say anything, just stood up and left.

He did like the puppy a little and wanted to buy it back and keep it, but that didn't mean he was being taken advantage of.

He didn't believe what the dog seller said. This thing was just a local dog, so it couldn't be that expensive.

"Master, don't leave. If you think it's too expensive, you can get it cheaper."

When the middle-aged man saw that Li An was dressed unusually and liked the dog, he wanted to kill Li An, but to his surprise, Li An turned around and left.

This puppy is indeed worthless. He only sold two of them after several days of selling.

After finally meeting a young man who fell in love with him, he naturally gave up without any reason.

Li An stopped, turned around and said, "If you want to buy a hundred coins, I'll buy it. If you don't want to, forget it."

"Sell!" The middle-aged man said quickly, fearing that Li An would regret it.

"Desheng gives me money!"

Li An ordered, turned around and picked up the puppy.

This time the puppy didn't bark at him, but stretched his head to lick him.

"go with!"

Li An dodged and gave it a brain-destroying blow.

"Woo~"

The puppy looked at him a little aggrievedly.

"Sir, these two are not bad. Do you want to buy them together? This dog has grown so fast that it is not picky about food. It is okay to eat meat during the Chinese New Year after raising it for a few months. Eating dog meat will keep you warm in winter..."

As the middle-aged man was talking, he stopped quickly when he noticed that Li An was looking at him coldly.

Li An withdrew his gaze, waited for Desheng to pay, and said, "Let's go."

It's not that he has never eaten dog meat, but he really can't eat the meat of a dog he raised by himself.

I remember that in my previous life, when I was a child, my family had a pig, and he would feed it every day. During the Chinese New Year, my grandfather wanted to kill the pig, but he would cry and stop him from killing it.

He certainly couldn't stop this kind of thing. In the end, the pig was killed, but he didn't eat any of the meat.

When I grew up, I was often laughed at by the villagers because of this.

As Li An walked back, he teased the dog and said with a smile: "According to legend, Xiang Yu's horse is completely black with only four white hooves. It's called Wuzhui Taxue. From now on, I'll call him Taxue."

"Woo~"

The puppy didn't know whether he understood or not. He looked at him with a pair of shining black eyes and whined.

When he got home, Li An asked Desheng to handle the ingredients, while he took the dog back to the yard and got some hot water to give it a bath.

Dogs are born to swim, but it is the nature of animals to be afraid of water.

After Texue entered the water, he kept struggling and was held down by Li An. He couldn't move away and could only scream.

"What's your name? I'm not happy to give you a bath."

Li An cursed, ignored its struggle, and forced it to wash with soap several times.

After washing, wipe it dry and put it on the ground.

As soon as Ta Xue hit the ground, she circled around him.

"Go and play by yourself."

Li An took the water for bathing it, washed his hands, and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Desheng has washed and marinated the meat he bought, and is skewering vegetables with bamboo skewers.

Aunt Niu was also helping.

Seeing Li An come in, he quickly put down the living things in his hands and stood up to salute.
