A roar of a wild animal resounded in the forest.

"Where did the wild leopard come from?"

The guard walking in front clenched the long sword in his hand and looked at the black mountain leopard that suddenly appeared in front of him.The beasts in the forest have always been nocturnal, so I don't know why they are standing in the middle of the road today, it is really strange.But since you dare to block their way, don't blame them for being merciless.

As soon as the leader of the guards waved his hand, the arrows already set up by the people around him were about to be shot.

After hearing the sound, Chi Diao in the carriage opened his eyes suddenly and let out a loud cry.

"Don't shoot the arrow! It didn't mean to hurt anyone!"

But it was already too late.

The arrow shot out in an instant, and then the mountain leopard whimpered and let out a painful roar.

Chi Diao bit his lip tightly, opened the door curtain and jumped out of the sedan chair.Following the sound, he slowly groped for the still warm dead thing in front of him, and reached out his hand to close its eyes.

Mountain Leopard is psychic, so he must have known that he was leaving and came to look for him.Unexpectedly, he encountered such a disaster.

Those guards all knew that this was the person the Lord wanted to bring back specially, and his status was naturally unusual, so they all made a way for him.

Chu Jinhe came down behind him, stretched his long arms and legs comfortably, and said quite nonchalantly.

"The left and right are just wild animals in the village, so why should you care about them. But this leather is pretty good, but it's a pity that they were all damaged by arrows, otherwise it can make a good cloak."

"Oh, there are a few smaller ones here. This one is still alive." A guard at the side lifted a little black panther that was also limp, shaking it left and right like a chicken cub.

"I've heard that leopard meat is flavored with aromatherapy. It tastes very good. It seems that today is a good day."

Chi Diao didn't say anything, and rushed over to hold the mountain leopard cub in his arms, feeling at ease when he felt that there was still a trace of breath.

He collected himself and spoke every word.

"I have an old relationship with this mountain leopard. Today it came looking for me. Its death is my fault. If you must eat this leopard today, please forgive me for accepting this life-saving grace. "

A bright dagger was unsheathed, and it was rightly pressed against his throat, leaving a smear of blood.

The little mountain leopard he held in his arms was panting weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared.A light flashed across the little purple gourd hanging on Chi Diao's waist.

Little Mountain Leopard's body trembled slightly, the breath that had disappeared before reappeared, and the deepest wound on the neck began to heal quietly.

----

Later, they met several groups of bandits and horse thieves, but fortunately, they were all safe and sound.The mountain road was rough and difficult, and they finally walked out of Luoqiu Mountain on the seventh day.

This is a small inn. There are few tourists from outside the small town. Every year, when spring and summer meet, caravans selling mountain goods pass by for a while, and it is obviously not that time now.The tables used for dining are sparse and covered with shiny oil.

There were few people eating at the table, and the hall was empty, except for a man in old gray clothes by the window, with a jug of sake in front of him.Chu Jinhe and his group occupied a large table, and ordered some meat and drinks, intending to comfort their stomachs that had been tossed in the mountains these days.

Chi Diao didn't have much appetite, so he put down his chopsticks after eating a little.He seldom felt hungry, and sometimes he even felt that he could survive without food, but people always have to eat.And he felt like a human being.

A little furry head emerged from the skirt of his shirt, pink paws resting on his collar, and a small piece of cloth was wrapped around his legs.The little guy was looking out, as if he smelled the smell of food, his wet nose moved sensitively.

It was the little mountain leopard he rescued.

The little guy is only a few months old, which is when he is active.Chi Diao watched it grow up from a small meat ball, and felt that he was very responsible for the death of its mother and brother, so his heart softened towards it.

He touched its nose lightly, trying to let it get into his clothes, for fear that Chu Jinhe would be unhappy if he saw it.That day, he forced the mother leopard's body to be buried in the ground with death, and then Chu Jinhe's attitude towards him became lukewarm.But his attitude is really irrelevant to Chi Diao, just like he doesn't want to know why he has to take him away.

There are so many people in this world, and Chi Diao has always been unwilling to pay much attention to those who have nothing to do with him.

Sitting opposite him, Chu Jinhe carefully rolled up his sleeves and picked up a small piece of white tofu.The tofu trembled on the tip of his chopsticks and was swallowed by him.Chu Jinhe closed his eyes, and the bamboo chopstick in his hand fell to the table with a soft sound.It seems that what he ate was not a piece of white tofu that can be seen everywhere, but some kind of dragon liver and phoenix brain.

Chi Diao turned his face away, and the little leopard in his arms flopped and buried his head in his clothes obediently.The hot body temperature stuck to his chest, and the fur rubbed against it.

"Hey, you're here, Mr. Yan. What's the matter, is it still the same?"

The inn's drowsy waiter slammed his chin hard on the counter.Before he had time to cover his chin, he held back the pain and walked forward quickly, bowing eagerly to a man dressed as a son who just walked in and asked.

The young man who came in looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fat head and big ears and a rich face. He was dressed luxuriously, and behind him were several servants who were also well-dressed.

The third master Yan squinted his small eyes and looked around in the hall, and finally his eyes fell on the opposite side of Chi Diao and the others, that is, the seat by the window, the man in gray.

He raised his chin, and the two pieces of flesh hanging down his cheeks trembled violently.

"Why, if you don't come here for a few days, you Yunlai Inn will completely forget about me as a major customer. Even my seat was taken by some cat or dog?"

Xiao Er secretly groaned in his heart.

The third son of Yan, whose real name is Yan Jin'an, is the third son of the family.The family has a little connection with the drug dealer, and his father and the local county magistrate rely on some wine and meat to make friends and call him brothers, so he can also be called this dude in the valley far away from the capital.Usually he is very domineering, but today he doesn't know who will bump into his knife again.

He took a sneak peek at the unsurprisingly well-dressed young man, who could even be considered poor, and silently worried for him.

But he was just thinking about it, and he was unwilling to step forward.

Yan Jin'an walked slowly in front of the gray-robed youth with eight-character steps, and winked at the servant beside him.The people around rushed forward and turned the table over in a clatter.The jug and wine glass fell all over the floor.

An unbroken wine glass spun around on the ground and was stepped on by Yan Jin'an.

He thought he was flamboyant and turned his back, and looked down at the young man by standing up, but the porcelain wine glass under his feet couldn't bear the weight of this man, and it shattered completely under his feet with a snap.
