The dog had an owner, and she had just accidentally discovered it, and she saw that the little dog was wearing a beautiful gold and jade carved green collar around his neck. The collar was thin and was obscured by the hair on the puppy's body and was not visible. To be able to hang such a valuable thing on the pet dog all the time, its owner must be a wealthy family near Hongfeng Village.

"Okay, whatever, you follow me, let's get out of the woods quickly, it's dark this day, if it's late... I'm afraid I'll get lost. Jiang Chengjia firmly held his hand and said extremely gently.

Ning Nan was covered in cold sweat, and with her support, she slowly stood up.

Jiang Chengjia slowly and carefully pulled him forward. When they reached the little dog sleeping in the grass, they stopped.

The young man behind her stared warily at the fluffy white puppy.

Jiang Chengjia sighed, let go of his hand, stepped forward and bent down to pick up the little dog, and then walked a few steps forward, keeping a safe distance from Ning Nanyou, and then advised: "You will follow me not far away, I will hold it, and it will not hurt you." ”

The young man nodded obediently, listened to her, and stood a little farther away. When Jiang Chengjia raised his feet and walked outside the forest, he set off to follow her forward.

About the time of the three pillars of incense, Jiang Chengjia finally brought Ning Nan out of the forest, and the two walked along the forest road to the Zhuangzi with lights burning not far away, revealing a bright light in the dim sky.

Ning Nan was worried about being two meters away from her, and followed closely step by step. Jiang Chengjia also deliberately slowed down and waited for him.

In front of Zhuangzi, Ji Xianzhi, Qianshan and others stood under the plaque, stretching their necks and anxiously looking at the situation outside Zhuangzi.

Ning Nanwu and Jiang Chengjia disappeared for an afternoon, and they sent people to look for them but they never found them. Ji Xianzhi was not in a hurry at first, but then he heard that there was no news from the people who were dispatched, so he hurriedly panicked.

Qian Shan was worried about Jiang Chengjia's injuries and was also restless.

At this moment, the two of them were hovering in front of the Zhuangzi plaque, not knowing what to do.

In front of him, a little guy staring at Lin Dao, staring at Lin Dao with a pair of eyes, in a fog and darkness, as if he saw a white figure, and when he looked at it, he saw that the female monarch seemed to be holding something, and slowly walked towards Zhuangzi.

"It's coming, it's coming! People are coming! The little guy shouted excitedly, "Mr. Ji, the female monarch is in front." ”

When Ji Xian heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Lin Dao, and saw that not far away, Jiang Chengjia was slowly walking towards this end, and behind her was followed by a man in Xuanyi who almost blended with the sky.

So, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Where did the female monarch and the lord go?" The old slave and Qianshan have been anxious and worried all afternoon...."

Immediately, Ji Xianzhi noticed the small dog that Jiang Chengjia was holding in his hand, and he was stunned for a moment, reacted quickly, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Ning Nan. Only then did he see that the young man's whole person was in a very vigilant state, staring at the animal in Jiang Chengjia's arms with a pair of eyes, and he didn't dare to approach.

"Lady Monarch.... This... Where did the dog come from? Tenants in the three miles near Hongfeng Village are not allowed to keep dogs... There are also people inside and outside this Zhuangzi, how...? Ji Xianzhi pondered for a moment, frowned and asked.

"Although you have sent people to guard over you strictly, and you are not allowed to keep dogs, but... There are always rich people near Hongfeng Village who have one or two little pets... Xu was the rich man who came out for a walk, and he didn't look at this little guy, who jumped out of the red maple forest. Jiang Chengjia replied, "The little guy has a collar around his neck, you let people take it down, and take care of it first... Tomorrow, I will go out with the prince to have a look, and find its master. ”

Ji Xianzhi hugged the puppy from her hand and answered with a "whoa", but then asked, "It's just... How can you be sure... The owner of this dog, will he stay near Hongfeng Village tomorrow? ”

"This dog is wearing... It is a very delicate and ingenious collar, made of gold and jade, which looks like it is still a little old, and it is worth a lot of money... To be able to wear such a collar to a small pet, either the family is very wealthy, or the family loves this little dog very much... Even if it's just because of wealth, it should be found back because of this circle. Jiang Chengjia explained.

As she spoke, she glanced at Ning Nan, who was standing in the distance behind her, and then looked at so many small servants in front of the door, then lowered her eyes, and whispered in Ji Xianzhi's ear: "The prince is very scared today... Uncle Ji, you take the puppy down first... So he ordered his subordinates to prepare some supper... Send it to the yard. ”

Ji Xianzhi nodded immediately, and replied in a low voice: "The old slave will go and prepare." ”

There are so many people in front of Zhuangzi looking at it, if they know that Ning Nan is afraid of a small dog, I am afraid that he will lose face. So Jiang Chengjia and Ji Xianzhi both pretended to be casual, and just exchanged a few words with their ears.

Ji Xianzhi hugged the little dog and left with a few little guys.

Qian Shan sensed that Ning Nan was worried that something was wrong at the moment. So after seeing Jiang Chengjia's return intact, he was much more relieved, and he didn't rush forward to ask.

If she and Ji Xianzhi asked, Jiang Chengjia would definitely not be very worried.

After Ji Xianzhi left, she stepped forward to talk to Jiang Chengjia.

"Master... What happened today? She asked curiously.

Jiang Chengjia frowned and said, "I can't tell you for a while, so I won't explain it to you." "Read a book for a long time

She was worried about Ning Nan's situation, so she didn't have the heart to answer Qianshan's question.

Qian Shan saw her thoughts, and retreated with interest.

Jiang Chengjia turned around and ran towards Ning Nan, who was fixed there motionless.

The young man was still trembling, his whole body was depressed, and his expression was stiff.

She grabbed his hand again and gently soothed, "Okay, okay, let's come back." The puppy was also sent away, so Zhaoyuan was not afraid. ”

Her coaxing tone soothed the young man.

His eyebrows moved, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but his expression was still a little panicked, he stretched out his hand to her, grabbed her arm, and called out softly: "Ah Luo...."

Jiang Chengjia muttered in a low voice, and took him to Zhuangzi.

She hadn't noticed that the young man had relaxed a lot when he had just been in the woods, and she had gradually calmed down. At this moment, it seems that he is deliberately asking for her attention, using a tone that he never usually uses, and spoiling her in disguise.

"I'm today... Makes you bother. I'm really useless, ask your daughter's family to protect me behind me. He muttered quietly, with a hint of self-reproach and a hint of nasalness.

Jiang Chengjia listened, and a strong desire to protect was aroused in his heart, and the little man stretched out a hand from the side of the young man, wrapped his arms around his waist, and hugged him tightly and said, "Don't bother." In the past... The way you protect me... The most heroic in my heart. Once in a while, let me protect you... Also excellent. Zhaoyuan, I am willing to protect you, and I will protect you for the rest of my life. ”

She unconsciously walked into his trap and said touching and sweet love words, which made Ning Nan's heart feel comfortable.

He let her hold and leaned weakly against her silently.

The two went back to the courtyard, and the candles in the bedroom were already lit.

Jiang Chengjia saw his pale and bloodless face in the candlelight, and his heart ached faintly, and he tilted his head and stretched out his hand to caress his cheek and said, "I'm sorry... Today, let you be so frightened. ”

The corners of Ning Nan's lips curled, and she said aggrievedly: "Yes... If you had reacted earlier... I'm afraid of these hairy animals, so they won't lead me to them. ”

He lowered his head and said in frustration, "Blame me... I've never told you that... I'm sorry. ”

His sorry voice made Jiang Chengjia feel guilty at the moment.

Obviously, she didn't care, and she didn't react in time. Why is it that he is apologizing to her now? It's that she doesn't care enough about her ....

She couldn't see Ning Nan suffering, and she naturally didn't feel good in her heart at the moment.

Seeing his aggrieved and pale face, she desperately wanted to turn into a pair of armor and protect him forever.

She pounced, hugged him tightly, buried her face in his chest and said, "It's not your fault. Blame me... I obviously heard Uncle Ji talk about your situation... But..."

As she spoke, she began to whimper.

Ning Nan was stunned, looking at her anxious for him, such a caring appearance, the little joy in her heart couldn't help but declare it. He smiled softly and said softly, "Little fool... Not long after you held your puppy in the woods and let me go with you, I was no longer afraid. Are you husband and I such useless people? Seeing that danger is so far away from me, can I still be afraid? ”

The little girl who threw herself in his arms was obviously stunned, and then she reacted, this man's pitiful, fearful, and frightened was actually pretended?

She immediately got out of his arms and stared at him with big eyes. looked at the young man in front of him, grinning, with a hint of helplessness and doting on his jade face.

She was a little angry at first, but then she felt funny, and said helplessly: "You... You're not afraid, but you're playing tricks on me like this? Prince... It's a good hand for pretending! ”

Ning Nan laughed worriedly, and was about to reach out to hug her again.

Who knew that this little girl refused to let him hold him anymore because she was teased by him, opened his outstretched arm with her teeth and claws, and then exhaled angrily: "This is how the prince wins sympathy? ”

"Heaven and earth can be learned... I'm really scared... It's just that with Madame escorting, I'm naturally a little better...."Ning Nan saw her puffing out her mouth and looking angry, so she hurriedly pointed her fingers to the sky and swore an oath.

"Poof..." Jiang Chengjia laughed at his words, and looked at him with crooked eyebrows and said, "That is the case... That lady I... I will continue to escort you in the future..."
