Gao Shun drove the sheep back to Landlord Liu's house, and it was already completely dark.

The full moon hung high, illuminating the earth as bright as day.

Two shadows turned around from the corner, and then two teenagers peeked out.

It was Wei Yan and Gao Shun, they looked around along the wall with their heads shrunken, and when they saw that there was no one, they sped up and walked over, and the target was the Wei family.

Wei Yan was already very familiar with this place, and he came to the west wall with ease.

There is a dog hole one foot long and one foot wide, and people can't get through, but the dogs inside can come out.

"Wang~" suddenly heard a dog barking from the yard.

"Xu'er, you go and see why the dog barks, it's a big night, let it be quiet."

"Okay, Grandma."

The door opened in the courtyard.

"What to do? We've been discovered. Gao Shun is a little weak-hearted.

"What are you afraid of!" Wei Yan took out a mouse head and glanced at Gao Shun proudly.

"What are you doing with a rat head?"

"Look at it." Wei Yanwei touched the position of the sunspot and threw the rat's head into the yard.

"Woo~"

Sure enough, the barking of the dogs stopped, and the sound of whining and eating came from the yard.

"It's nothing, Kuroko, don't scream!"

Wei Xu walked around the yard and found no abnormality, and then he heard the sound of the door opening again, and Wei Xu scolded and entered the house.

Wei Yan waited until there was no sound in the yard, then took out another rat's head, found a piece of rope out of nowhere, tied it to the mouse's head, and threw it through the dog hole.

Both of them clearly heard Kuroko coming towards the dog hole.

"Run!" Wei Yan said hurriedly, then pulled the rope and ran away.

Gao Shun is not slow, although he is not as long as Wei Yan's legs, but his body is stronger than Wei Yan, and he follows Wei Yan closely.

It was at this moment that a black shadow swooped out, jumped out of the dog's hole, and then pounced on the rat's head that Wei Yan was dragging behind.

Kuroko's limbs are strong and powerful, and his movements are agile, and he has to hold down the head of a mouse with one paw.

Although Wei Yan was running, he also quietly paid attention to his back, seeing that the mouse's head was about to be eaten by the sunspot, he pulled the rope suddenly.

Because of the elasticity of the rope, the rat's head was forcefully flown away and flew in front of them with a whoosh, overtaking them and landing in front of them.

The two of them continued to run, overtaking the mouse's head, and Kuroko followed from behind, once again pounced on the mouse's head.

Wei Yan repeated the previous action again, and the sunspot once again pounced.

After a few moments, Kuroko was furious, bared her teeth, and let out a low hiss from her throat, and the hairs on her neck stood on end.

It paused for a moment, and without hesitation, it lunged towards Wei Yan and Gao Shun.

Where can two legs run over four legs, and in the blink of an eye, the two were caught up by Kuroko.

"Holy!" Wei Yan's cold sweat came out all of a sudden, he didn't expect the sunspot to run so fast.

"It's going to bite me, what about the rest of the rat heads? Give it one! Fast! Gao Shun's little short legs couldn't even run Wei Yan, he could almost feel the warm snort of the sunspot, spraying on his buttocks, which made him pee in shock.

Wei Yan didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly took out a mouse head and threw it aside.

He didn't dare to throw it too far, for fear that if Kuroko didn't see it, it would be wasted.

But this also bought them a little time, after all, Kuroko is an animal, smelling the scent of the rat's head, immediately put them aside, first went to eat the rat's head, and then chased the two of them.

By this time they had already run out of the village, and both of them were tired and panting, but neither of them dared to stop, because the sunspot caught up again.

The night doesn't seem to have any effect on Kuroko, and its speed doesn't slow down in the slightest.

However, Wei Yan and Gao Shun were both tired and slowed down.

Wei Yan didn't dare to play the previous trick anymore, and directly threw away the rope in his hand.

"This beast wants to exhaust me!" Wei Yan felt like a fire was burning in his throat, and he was almost out of breath.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's run." Gao Shun said.

"I can't run, I'll rest for a while."

"Mom, you can rest, anyway, this is your dog, maybe I know you, I'll run first."

"Damn!" Wei Yan turned his head to see that the sunspot had eaten the rat's head and pounced on him again.

He didn't dare to expect Kuroko to show mercy and let him go.

"Junko, you're so shameless, wait for me!"

The two of them quickly spared a high slope, and when they went downhill, they looked at each other, and then said, "Jump!" ”

The two jumped into the air, and in mid-air, the last mouse's head landed on the ground.

Behind the two of them, a black figure came like a whirlwind, and saw the head of the mouse fall, and pounced on it.

"Poof~"

A puff of dust rose and a large crater appeared in the ground.

"Wang~" A fierce dog barking sounded below.

"Look how dare you chase us!" Gao Shun gasped and looked into the pit.

"Woo~" With a deep voice, a black shadow jumped up from the pit, and its front paws almost grabbed Gao Shun's body.

"you!" Wei Yan kicked down and kicked the dog on the head.

Kuroko fluttered and fell again.

"Qingqing~Qingqing~" Wei Yan shouted around.

"I'm here." Qingqing's crisp voice sounded behind a big tree, and her voice trembled a little, as if she was a little scared.

"It's okay, bring the straw mat quickly." Wei Yan shouted again.

"Oh." Qingqing hurriedly ran over with a bundle of straw mats that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Blindfold, suffocate it." Wei Yan and Gao Shun pulled one end at a time to cover the entire pit.

"Look, don't let it get out." Wei Yan said to Gao Shun, and then ran away.

"Why are you going?" Gao Shun asked.

"I'm going to get some grass."

After a while, Wei Yan picked up a lot of hay and covered it densely on the straw mat.

Under the mat, the sunspot screamed, and after a while, the voice gradually weakened, and finally there was no sound.

"Is it dead?" Qingqing asked.

"I guess I'm dead." Wei Yan replied.

"It's so pathetic." Qingqing flattened her mouth, a little pitiful for it.

"Are people or dogs important? Now we are all going to starve to death, if we eat it, we can live, if it dies, we don't have to eat, and the food saved can feed a person, and a dog's life can be exchanged for at least one human life, this business is a good deal. Wei Yan said.

"Hmm." Qingqing nodded, but was still a little sullen.

Wei Yan and Gao Shun didn't care about her, a child, she would be in a good mood later.

By the time they dragged the dog out of the pit, it was dead, but it was still a little warm.

Gao Shun quickly bled it to prevent the blood from clotting in the flesh.

This is a big dog, to say the least, it has thirty or forty pounds, and three people can't eat it even if they die.

So Wei Yan asked Gao Shun to just remove two hind legs.

The campfire was lit, and the dry wood crackled in the flames.

The two doglegs rested on the flames, and the grease made a sizzling sound, dripping into the flames, and the fragrance wandered in the air.

"It's so full!" Wei Yan lay on the grass on all fours, picking his teeth in satisfaction.

This was the most satisfying meal Wei Yan had eaten since the crossing, not only him, but even Qingqing, who had always been quiet, was full of oil.

The bonfire was still crackling, Wei Yan tilted his head, and saw Gao Shun take out a book from his arms.

"Junko, what are you looking at?" Wei Yan asked.

"Well, the Art of War." Gao Shun said.

"What? The Art of War? Where did it come from? It can't be stolen, right? Wei Yan asked in surprise.

Books are still relatively precious in this era, and the average poor family can't afford to buy books at all, so where did Gao Shun's "The Art of War" come from?

"Nonsense! I didn't steal! Gao Shun, who has always been more honest, suddenly raised his voice.

"If you didn't steal, you didn't steal, I'm just kidding, what are you anxious about!" Wei Yan pursed his lips.

"This is one of the times when I was herding sheep, I picked up a dead fox and exchanged it for a fox skin." Gao Shun probably didn't want Wei to delay the meeting, explained.

"Is fox fur so valuable? Can you even change a book? Wei Yan was surprised.

"Well, foxes are very cunning, and even the best hunters are not easy to hunt, and the one I picked up has no wounds and relatively intact fur, so it is worth a little more."

"By the way, let's go hunting too, so we don't have to starve." Wei Yan said.

Wei Yanman thought that Gao Shun would definitely agree, but Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Wei Yan, the hunters in the village will not take us." ”

"Why?" Wei Yan was puzzled.

"Think about it, if you bring us, we will share a part of the prey we catch, and then the hunters will suffer."

"We can go hunting by ourselves."

"That's too dangerous, we're too young to pull a strong bow, and it's dangerous once we encounter a beast, and it takes a lot of money to buy all kinds of tools, and we don't have any money."

"Hehe, who said there was no money." Wei Yan laughed.

"What do you see here?" He put the leftover dog meat in front of Gao Shun, "You take this dog meat to the town tomorrow and sell it, and then go buy tools." ”

"Are you really going hunting?" Gao Shun said again.

"It's not me, it's us."

"But I'm going to herd the sheep."

"What kind of sheep to put on," Wei Yan hated that iron could not become steel, "Can you have a little interest, when we hit the prey, are you afraid that we won't be able to eat enough when we get the prey and sell it?" And we can also save money, don't you like books? You can buy many books when the time comes. ”

"Really?" Gao Shun was a little tempted.

"Of course it's true, not only can we buy books, but we can also go out to study and find famous teachers all over the world. Only in this way can we change our fate. ”

"Hmm." Gao Shun finally nodded, "Then I'll go sell the dog meat tomorrow." ”

"Don't let the villagers see it." Wei Yan instructed again.

"Why?"

"You're stupid, let people see it, don't you know that it was the dog we stole from!" Wei Yan shook his head.

Gao Shun is too upright, Geng is a little naïve, is he wrong? I and Gao Shun are just the same names as Wei Yan and Gao Shun, who will be famous all over the world in the future?

"Hey, if you know, you have to study history hard, whether it is or not, let's find a way to improve the current living environment first." Wei Yan looked at the starry sky and muttered to himself.
