However, although Xie Xiang is calm and easy-going in escaping reality, God is a shameless person who likes to fall into the well and make things worse behind his back, if he doesn't want to call you Ansheng, then no matter how many hands you raise and how many feet you disarm and throw your head down, he will not let you go easily.

In an age when he has no control over his own destiny, he still can't control where he wants to go? What exactly do you want to do? Fate is not something he wants to stop and become gone.

Xie Xiang walked down the official road avenue that began to extend from the Wuzhou City Gate; No matter where this official road leads, it will never go to the barren mountains and mountains, but can always go to a place where there are people.

That is, a person with a character like Xie Xiang can ignore those who have a deep relationship with him in Wuzhou City; Clapping his hands, he turned around as if he had nothing to do, and left without looking back.

There is nothing to shout about, he has calculated in his heart, since he can't control the fate of others, let's live a good life by himself first, and try not to cause trouble for others.

Each one seeks his own blessings; First run to a place where there are people, and then think about turning back to Xiejia Village.

When it was close to dawn, Xie Xiang felt that he was running fast, but in fact, he had only walked less than thirty miles desperately, and finally arrived at a small market town.

Because he has been running in the night, Xie Xiang's eyesight has adapted to the darkness before dawn, and in the shadows, he can still make an appointment to find out that this kind of place with dense living houses may be a small market town in the countryside.

This market town looks pitifully small, that is, a place where the population is relatively concentrated and pedestrians can rest their feet.

From a distance, the unwalled bazaar seems to have only one main street, and there are densely covered houses on both sides, and there seem to be grass houses and blue brick buildings in the haze.

There was a sound of babbling from the well pumping the spring water, and there were already early risers.

Xie Xiang couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and finally ran to a place where there were living people.

However, the first thing that greeted Xie Xiang was a burst of barking dogs.

Led by a big dog who didn't know the color of his coat, a team of twenty or thirty dogs suddenly came out of the street.

Although Xie Xiang is not the kind of useless person who is too delicate to hear a dog barking, he is still a little stunned in the face of so many dozens of street dogs who are angry and fierce with the same enemy.

Unexpectedly, walking along the official road was to avoid the barren mountains and mountains infested by wild wolves, but he still had to encounter the siege of mighty vicious dogs.

It's just a fateful catastrophe that wants to cry without tears.

This situation is easy to understand, after all, this is an era of banditry and tyranny of officers and soldiers; In such a small bazaar, which has no even minimal protection, every family has to feed a dog to come and greet the home.

In the blink of an eye, those barking dogs swarmed in, and Xie Xiang felt that the cold hair on his body had shrunk a little; Looking around for a weapon to defend against, is there a stick or half a brick under your feet?

You can't be bitten alive by these vicious dogs, right?

Although domestic dogs are not hungry wolves in the wilderness, they eat meat when attacking people, but it hurts to bite their arms or calves with sharp teeth and cause them to bleed.

In particular, you may even get rabies.

Although Xie Xiang doesn't know if the rabies virus has bred in his era, there is definitely no place to inject the rabies vaccine.

This made Xie Xiang feel even more afraid.

It stands to reason that domestic dogs are always a little afraid of people, but this group of dogs who besieged Xie Xiang didn't seem to take Xie Xiang in their eyes at all.

It seemed that Xie Xiang was their enemy in their previous life, and the barking of a dog was more lively than the porridge in the pot.

And what Xie Xiang felt a little puzzling about the most was that the dogs in the bazaar generally rarely besieged people, they were used to people coming and going, except for the only kind of people, that is, beggars.

So there is a saying that dogs look down on people, and that's the reason.

Xie Xiang was very angry in his heart, it seemed that he was a desperate beggar in the eyes of this group of beasts?

It is no wonder that those who want to come to the morning market, even if they are countrymen who are far away and very early, are not burdened, and no matter how poor the old woman is, he will pull a bamboo basket, and the little daughter-in-law will carry the flower baggage, like himself, who is empty-handed, and those market dogs who have almost become refined can see at a glance that he must be a passer-by from a foreign country.

Or, simply a beggar.

In a hurry, Xie Xiang not only didn't find any weapons to resist, but he even forgot to shout a few times to intimidate those menacing dogs.

If he had mustered up the courage to scold him loudly, he might have scared the dogs away.

After all, Xie Xiang was a weak scholar, and he had been running around for most of the night, physically and mentally exhausted, so he burst into a loud cry, and he really couldn't break out for a while.

In Xie Xiang's panic, the big dog led by him barked, and he had already taken the lead in pounced on Xie Xiangyong.

Xie Xiang was really scared.

There was not even a place to dodge on the empty road, and while he dodged to no avail, he finally blurted out a loud scolding and exclaiming, "Get out of here!" Ah......h

However, he could already clearly feel the big dog's toothless bloody mouth making close contact with his buttocks.

The fishy stench coming out of the mouth of the big dog is clearly audible.

The rest of the group of dogs barked more happily, and they were all eager to try.

It's like a sports meeting with unprecedented pomp and circumstance, or an exciting battle.

The horror in Xie Xiang's heart had reached a moment of no return; With his exhaustion and weakness, he had to listen to the bite of the dogs. Suddenly, I heard the rapid movement of something in the air.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and only to hear a "poof", followed by the painful and unwilling scream of the big dog whose mouth was already close to his body, as if he had suddenly received some heavy blow to the head.

The big dog whose teeth had already bitten at Xie Xiang's clothes was in pain, and he immediately gave up the attack on Xie Xiang, howling "Xuanqiu", jumping quickly with his tail between his legs, and fled to the side.

Fortunately, there was a robe outside Xie Xiang's pants, but he felt that the robe was caught by the teeth of the big dog, but the skin on his body was not injured.

But the man was already trembling with fear.

"Blind brutes, get out of here!"

A man shouted and cursed, and then an old man ran out of the street; When the dogs saw that the leader was beaten, they ran out again, and their momentum immediately decreased, but they still barked around Xie Xiang, but they didn't dare to attack closely.

"Ahem, where did this scholar come from? What should I do if I am bitten by a dog so early? ”

The old man looked like he was about forty or fifty years old, his body was thin, but his voice was very loud, and he didn't look at people and just listened to the voice Xie Xiang almost thought that he was a young and strong man, and he asked Xie Xiang very loudly.

Xie Xiang's three souls who were scared away came back with two spirits, and they hurriedly hugged their fists in a cold sweat and said to this life-saving benefactor who appeared in time and saved him from fire and water: "Thank you...... Thank you uncle for rescuing me, I ran all night before I came here, your dog here...... Really, really, really! Scared the hell out of me. ”

The old man scolded the dogs who didn't want to give up a few words, and the menacing dogs still barked around them for a while before they gradually left reluctantly.

The old man bent down to pick up something that had fallen on the ground and had just hit the leading dog, and it turned out to be a broom pimple that had been swept away.

Xie Xiang deduced from the accuracy and strength of the big dog he hit so accurately and timely that this old man was by no means an ordinary person.

If there is kung fu on the body, it is accurate; And it's definitely not weak.

The place where the dogs besieged him was still a few steps away from the bazaar, and the visibility before dawn was extremely low, how could ordinary people have such an elusive and unscrupulous accuracy and strength?

Xie Xiang no longer doubts that there are indeed some magical people with martial arts in this world; He didn't even know where this old man came out? However, the sound of the spring water that had been babbling was gone, and it was probably this old man who got up early.

At that time, the old man had already straightened up and looked at Xie Xiang, and then said: "Don't blame our dogs here, with all due respect, it's Xiucai that you have a rush of chaos all over your body, and those beasts are used to seeing and smelling ......"

The old man didn't say anything more, and Xie Xiang also understood what he meant.

Look at your appearance, it is clear that you are a person who is destitute and fleeing, panicking like a lost dog, with nothing on his body, who are those vicious dogs bullying if they don't bully you? If you were a powerful warrior, those brutes would have retreated if they didn't want you to shout.

But the old man's words made Xie Xiang even more impressed with him, he couldn't imagine that there was such a master in this small bazaar, not only with extraordinary skills, but also with a good appearance.

He's not what he says.

What a good look, the sky is not yet clear, not only can you accurately see that the sharp teeth of the big dog are about to tear the flesh on his ass, but also can see through his panic at a glance.

"Hey, what the uncle said is very true, didn't you flee in a hurry? It's hard to put into words! ”

The frightened Xie Xiang unconsciously sighed deeply and muttered extremely weakly.

There is no need to tell lies in front of real people, sometimes it is better to be honest than to be kind to others. The timely rescue of others has already made him grateful. Another word broke his shape, and he couldn't cover it, so he pretended to be calm.

The old man held the little broom pimple in his hand and said to Xie Xiang: "Okay, those beasts don't dare to come again, fortunately I got up early today...... I'm the shopkeeper of the small inn here, and I have to prepare tea for the guests when I get up early, and now I can't stand here to gossip with you, and the others haven't gossiped yet...... Xiucai, look at your look, you are extremely tired, don't say anything yet, come with me to the house to rest for a while, drink hot water to warm up your body and suppress the shock. ”
