A certain attack stole the cabbage from Tiandi's house

This day lasted for more than a year, and Li Xuehan gradually got used to the life without Nangong Ling.Nangong Ling asked him to take good care of himself. He remembered that Nangong Ling said that when the Xueling flowers bloomed, he would definitely return to his side, and he also remembered.Although it is not yet possible to find out what the flower is, Li Xuehan believes in Nangong Ling, and only by keeping this longing and trust in his heart can he support himself to live alone.

As the little snow wolf grows up, Li Xuehan gradually realizes that this dream belongs to this snow wolf.When it was perched in the woods, Li Xuehan was leaning against a big tree to sleep beside the fire. Unknowingly, this snow wolf became Li Xuehan's only companion in this world.

The fire crackled and burst into a group of small sparks. Li Xuehan quietly looked at the snow wolf buried in the leaves. The fire could not illuminate its face. On the forehead of the adult snow wolf, the brows of the adult snow wolf are already a little more serious, but at this time it looks quiet and cute when it is sleeping, and Li Xuehan can't help but think of someone.That person looked fierce when his eyes were open, and he looked like this snow wolf when he was asleep. His sleeping face was as gentle as the hazy moonlight above his head.

Li Xuehan unconsciously moved to the side of Snow Wolf, wanting to get closer to it, as if by being close to it, his empty heart could be filled with something so that he would no longer be so lonely and empty.

"Shh, there's a wolf over there..."

The sound of small footsteps tore through the quiet night. Without Nangong Ling by her side, Li Xuehan could not sleep soundly, even a gust of wind could wake her up, not to mention the sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves.

In the dim shadow of the moon, Li Xuehan saw two men approaching the snow wolf step by step, holding something in their hands, faintly reflecting the silver light of Lingling, like a sharp weapon.The snow wolf's ears moved in the sound sleep, and he didn't know if he noticed anyone approaching. Li Xuehan wanted to wake it up and let it run away, but his hands couldn't touch it at all.

A man was waiting behind a big tree in the distance, and another man approached cautiously, and when he was in front of him, Li Xuehan realized that the reflective object in the man's hand was a feathered arrow .

With a click, the man accidentally stepped on the branch in front of Snow Wolf. Snow Wolf woke up from the sound, opened his eyes, stood up vigilantly from the pile of leaves, and took several steps back.Seeing that it didn't bite, the man quietly put the arrow behind his back, threw the piece of chicken in his right hand, and tried to make Snow Wolf lower his guard, saying, "Don't worry, I'm here to deliver food."

Li Xuehan had an ominous premonition in his heart, but Snow Wolf didn't. It was the first time it went down the mountain and fell into a hunter's trap, and was rescued by little Li Xuehan, who even gave it something to eat, which made it hate humans. Without the slightest precaution, he sniffed the chicken on the ground, found nothing unusual, and gnawed it on the spot.It took a few mouthfuls, then suddenly staggered and lay down on the grass. After lying down, it wanted to stand up, but it seemed as if it had been cramped, lacking strength, and the piece of meat left in its mouth hadn't had time to bite. , the mouth loosened, the meat fell off, and Snow Wolf immediately passed out.

This piece of meat was drugged.

The man laughed a few times, waved to his brother in the distance, and said triumphantly, "Brother Hu! You hit it! You hit it!"

The man hiding behind had a beard and a stocky build. As soon as he walked over, the man who threw the meat to the snow wolf looked short and small.The strong Hu brother threw the stunned Snow Wolf into the iron cage with one hand, patted his servant on the shoulder, and said, "A Tuo, you did a good job. Let's go, we have to catch the last boat."

The servant named A Tuo responded, and said, "Brother Hu, don't worry, I just gave the boatman a tael of silver this morning, and he will definitely wait for us. But brother Hu, where do you want to send this little thing?"

Brother Hu said: "The place you mentioned before, Leizhou."

Li Xuehan's heart skipped a beat.Leizhou, on the border of Daliang, is the farthest place from Taozhou.

Along the coast of Leizhou, there are many cargo ships and merchant ships parked in the port. It is said that many foreign smugglers often use this port as a cargo transshipment location, and they will not let the government find out, so the port here can be said to be very lively. Leizhou Casino There are countless hook bars, which are specially designed for foreign businessmen's entertainment.

In fact, Daliang's laws at this time were also very strict. These smuggling and gambling were all illegal, but the local officials in Leizhou ignored these things, knowingly broke the law, and took bribes to cover them up.The source of the bribes was a gang called the Wuhai Gang at the wharf. The leader was a rich second generation surnamed Jiang Mingbiao. It was rumored that he was the son of a high official in the court. He became the overlord in Leizhou and was well-known.

What kind of brothel and gambling house Yihongyuan was opened by Jiang Biao, the richest man in Leizhou. The industry has been flourishing smoothly for more than ten years. In addition to the patronage of these overseas businessmen, it is also thanks to the protection of Leizhou officials.Here, the court officials received double the salary given by Jiang Biao every month, so they have naturally become Jiang Biao's lackeys, and it is only right and proper to be optimistic about his financial opportunities.

Trapped in an iron cage, the snow wolf howled all the way, trying to attract the attention of passers-by. His dark eyes were full of pleading. How he wished that there was another kind-hearted person like Li Xuehan in this world who could bring him back. rescued.

All the way through the fish market, through the auction house, and through the gambling house, there is a smoky environment.In addition to the smell of fish, there is also a stench of copper. There are also drunks sleeping in the alley near the gambling house. A Tuo said that they are gamblers sleeping in the open, and some of them are foreigners who have gambled away and have no money to go home. .

A Tuo is familiar with this place, and led Brother Hu to walk with an iron cage, talking about the environment along the way.They turned two corners, and a mansion built along the coast appeared behind the shops.

The gate of the mansion is engraved with dragons and inlaid with gold. At first glance, it is a place where rich people live.The road outside the door was full of sedan chairs and carriages, and the house was full of voices, as if they were watching some fierce competition. Brother Hu knocked on the door knocker, but no one responded.He asked A Tuo suspiciously, "Are you sure it's here? Why is there no answer?"

A Tuo glanced at the plaque on the door, which was engraved with two golden words "Jiang's Mansion", and said, "This is the right place." After thinking for a while, "Oh, yes, you have to knock seven times to sell wild animals. , three quick beeps, four slow beeps. Brother Hu, try knocking again."

Brother Hu did as A Tuo said, holding the door knocker and knocked seven times, three times quickly and four times slowly. Sure enough, the door opened, but only opened a gap that even flies could not get through. The man inside said: " What are you selling?"

Brother Hu said, "Taozhou Snow Wolf."

The man said: "The back door." After speaking, he closed the door.

Brother Hu was baffled, and walked towards the back door while muttering, "What are you doing so mysteriously? What's the difference between going through the front door and going through the back door? Could it be that they're doing something shady inside?"

A Tuo hurriedly said: "Shh, don't talk about it, Mr. Jiang is not easy to offend, it's important for us to make money."

As soon as the two of them arrived at the back door, the door creaked open, and a barley-skinned servant blocked the door, not intending to let them in. He looked at the iron cage in A Tuo's hand, and the snow wolf was still there. Crying and screaming inside.The servant frowned and said, "Why didn't you cover it with a black cloth? Are you trying to let it find its way and escape?"

Brother Hu said: "We came from the far away Taozhou..."

A Tuo immediately stopped him, and said with a smile, "I just covered it up..." As he spoke, he put down the cage, and took out a piece of black cloth from his pocket to show the servant, "Look, didn't this just be put away, or you How can you see its appearance?" The housekeeper looked suspicious, and A-Tuo said again, "Don't worry, we covered the cage with black cloth on the boat all the way, so it can't escape."

Seeing Xuelang crying like this, the servant was a little disgusted, and said, "Is it a purebred? Why are you so hypocritical?"

A Tuo said: "The snow wolf in Jingshan, Taozhou is absolutely purebred." He said nonsense again in a serious manner, "Hey, maybe we gave it too much food on the way, so I can't bear it this time."

The servant took a look at them, didn't bother to say anything more, and asked someone to bring over a stack of banknotes. Brother Hu counted the banknotes hehehe, making sure that the amount was correct, and Snow Wolf's deal was considered complete.

The snow wolf was ushered in, lying on the edge of the cage and looking around. Li Xuehan also followed it to look around, and found that the construction of the houses here is different from that of ordinary people. They are all iron gates and iron cages, and the inside is closed. They are full of ferocious beasts. Some small rooms house four hyenas, some medium rooms house dozens of lions, some large rooms house a single tiger, and some small cages are stacked on top of each other, and the insides are closed alone. A boa constrictor, a vicious dog, a lynx and other small animals.

The whole backyard looks like a prison.

There was a lot of people in the front yard, Li Xuehan heard someone yelling "Come on", someone shouting "Hold on", a servant in front of him walked by with a bloody bag of sacks, Li Xuehan looked back, the servant Throwing the sack into the hyena room, the moment the sack was opened, all the hyena carcasses inside were shaken out, and the hyenas in the room seemed to lose their minds, regardless of whether they were their companions or not, they began to bite crazily.The picture was too bloody, Li Xuehan covered his mouth and didn't dare to watch any more. He looked at the snow wolf in the cage, a little worried that it would have a hard time in the future.

Snow Wolf thought that he had been taken in by a kind person, and felt novel and excited about everything in the mansion. It wasn't until the servant threw it into a dark cell that he realized that not everyone in this world can be as kind as Li Xuehan .

There were more than [-] green eyes in the depths of the cell. Li Xuehan couldn't see what animals were inside, but only saw groups of dark and faint things surrounding the snow wolf, followed by a few woo-woo woo-woo sounds, weed bones Something flew out of the door.After several fighting sounds, there was a knocking sound, and something fell on the door.The iron lock at the door rattled a few times, and Li Xuehan squatted down to take a closer look. The haystack by the door was glowing red, and on top of the blood lay an unrecognizable thing. It found a handful of white hairs on its tail, it was the snow wolf.

Li Xuehan took a deep breath, it was hard to imagine what kind of beast lived in it, and it could beat a snow wolf to the ground in such a short moment.

Li Xuehan put his finger to his lips, wanting to bite his finger to heal it, but Nangong Ling's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "You are hurting very hard to heal, don't bite your finger to heal others."

After all, this snow wolf is Li Xuehan's only partner in this time and space. Although it doesn't know of Li Xuehan's existence, Li Xuehan has been by its side for a long time and has feelings for it. Just like when he raised Xiaojian back then, even if Xiaojian was injured one day, Li Xuehan would still feel as distressed as today.

Snow Wolf kept panting, tears kept flowing from his eyes, and a small sob came out of his throat, it must be because of the pain on his body.Li Xuehan paused, sighed, looked at its bloody fur, wanted to comfort him, put his finger next to its face, wanted to wipe away its tears, but couldn't touch it.

A voice sounded from behind: "Hey, did this end just come in today? How can you win Master Jiang's favor after being beaten to the ground so quickly, and drag it out to feed the tiger."

Li Xuehan's hands trembled, a little worried that its life would be lost.

Another voice said: "Don't worry, this is a snow wolf. Maybe in a few days, those in the house will be killed by it. What? Do you still want to bet with me?"

The voices in the front yard also gradually decreased, presumably the game was over.Li Xuehan looked back and saw that the two men were wearing the clothes of government servants, but they were wandering in the backyard of the Chiang Mansion, with gold in their hands, looking proud.

The thinner yamen servant said: "I think you want to gamble."

The fat yamen servant said: "Then I bet it can win!"

The thin yamen servant said: "Hmph, I'll bet on it to lose!"

The two yamen servants went out through the back door, and after a while, the fat yamen servant came back with something wrapped in a gray cotton cloth in his hand.He walked up to the iron gate and folded his whole body on Li Xuehan's body. Li Xuehan was so squeezed that he could hardly breathe, so he quickly stepped aside.

The fat servant stretched out a finger to poke the snow wolf's body, wanting to test whether it was dead or not. After making sure that the snow wolf's breath was still there, he opened the cloth in his arms, grabbed a handful of white powder with his bare hands and sprinkled it on the snow wolf's body. Snow Wolf woke up from the pain with a whimper, looked at the fat servant warily, and wanted to back away, but because he was afraid of the ferocious animal hiding in the dark behind him, he took a step back, crawled back, and huddled in the corner of the wall, letting himself hide in the corner. In the shadow of the wall.

The faint light shone on its face, and there were still tears in its dark eyes. The fat yamen servant squatted over and said, "What are you hiding? I bet 50 taels of silver on you."

Ever since he ate a piece of chicken given by a stranger and was sold here, Snow Wolf has become wary of strangers. The fat yamen servant had no choice but to throw in the whole package of medicinal powder, sprinkle the white powder on the hay, and said, "You Paint it yourself."

Xuelang stared at the powder on the ground, and smelled the powder on his body, not knowing whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, he silently retreated to the corner of the wall, not daring to touch the powder.

Li Xuehan stayed in Jiang's Mansion for a while, and found out that Jiang's Mansion was actually a gambling house.It's just that the gambling house here is different from ordinary gambling houses. The gambling here is not mahjong, go, Liubo, Cuju, or cockfighting and cricket fighting, but animal fighting.There was a wide open space in the front yard of the Chiang Mansion. A high platform was built on the open space, and a huge iron cage was built on the high platform. There were two ferocious animals in the cage, a tiger and a lion.Under the bright sun, they are like hungry tigers pouncing on food, beating you to death.

Hundreds of gamblers under the stage, some stood and some sat, those betting on tigers sat on one side, those betting on lions sat on the other side, those with higher status sat in front, the children of rich families and their servants held umbrella fans, massaged, poured tea and fed grapes .

There was a sound of cheering and cheering, and finally the lion fell on the ring with a thump and died.

The snow wolf from Jingshan was soon included in the entry list. The fat yamen servant happily bet a tael of gold, and many people also bet a tael of silver jewellery.It was only then that Li Xuehan discovered that the year written on Jiang's mansion was Tianxiang's 26th year, and when Xuelang was caught and sold, it was clearly Tianxiang's 20th year, and six years passed so quickly.
