Before I could figure it out, the two tall horses beside me were frightened by the howl of the wolf. One of them even raised the horse's hooves and knocked the coachman to the ground! Seeing this, I hurriedly pushed Si'er behind me, only to see two huge wheels running towards me.

At the last moment, a pair of powerful arms slammed me back and hugged me, and the wheels narrowly rubbed against the tips of my shoes.

"Ah Shi, how are you? Did you hit it? Si'er was pushed to the ground by me, and he still looked frightened when he got up.

I hadn't recovered from the fright, but I just looked at her and shook her head in a daze.

Gongzili turned his head to the guard behind him and said, "Fu Shu, you go to check, where did the wolf howl come from?" Fu Zhan, you go and chase the carriage back. ”

"No!" The two guards beside Gongzi Li took the order and left separately.

I relieved myself at the moment, only to be stunned to find that I had been held in Gongzili's arms all the time, and I was a little embarrassed for a while, so I hurriedly pushed his arm and whispered: "Xie Gongzi rescued, Ah Shi is fine." ”

Childe let go of his hand with a slight cough and stood at my side instead.

Soon, Fu Shu, who was sent out to find out the news, came back: "Young man, the sound of the wolf howl came from a small slave. ”

"Oh? It is unusual for people to make wolf noises. Let's go and see! Gongzi Li took the group back to the slave trade with interest.

At this moment, the man with yellow teeth was holding a whip and slapping a young man in unclothed clothes, and while he was beating, he also shouted viciously: "I let you bark, and if you bark again, I will chop you and feed the dog!" ”

The young man's hands and feet were shackled, and his body was full of whiplashes, but he bit his lip and did not let out a half wail.

"Childe, that's a monster!" The girl named Mi Cao hid behind Gongzi Li and said squeezed.

The word "monster" in the girl's mouth stabbed the most painful and secret past in my heart. Seeing that my face was a little strange, Si'er hurriedly squeezed my hand, and said to Mi Cao angrily: "It's obviously a person, why do you have to say that others are monsters?" ”

"He's a monster! He was caught in the mountains of Xianyu Country. He can't speak human language, only howls wolves, falls into a trap, and clung to a wild wolf. He's not a monster, what's it? ”

"Childe, Doctor Lou's housekeeper bought the young man, I'm afraid I'm going to use it for fun again." The guard Fu Shu pointed to the young man on the stage and said.

Doctor Lou? I chuckled when I heard the name. This Lou doctor was originally a member of the Rong tribe in the West, and he was cruel by nature. His favorite thing to do on weekdays is to keep a slave locked up with a vicious dog that has been hungry for ten days and half a month, and the more fierce the dog bites and the worse the person barks, the happier he is. As a result, his family's back door often had bloody corpses pulled out of the city by ox carts to be thrown away. If the boy falls into his hands, he will not live for a few days.

When I thought of this, I walked up to Gongzili and knelt down upright: "Ah Shi has the courage to buy this young man, and I hope that Gongzi will help!" ”

"He almost hurt you, why did you buy him? Besides, can't you buy someone from the General's Mansion without permission? ”

"If the son can help, Ah Shi will repay him in the future." Mi Cao's sentence of monster actually made me feel sympathetic to this young man in an instant.

"Forget it, if you like it. It's just that if I do anything wrong in the future, don't stare at me with a fire stick. If you smile at me that day, I'll understand. After Gongzili finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and helped me up, "Since you want to buy that slave, let's go and discuss it with the housekeeper of the building!" ”

"Childe, Doctor Lou is the prince's person. I'm afraid this is inappropriate......" Fu Shu leaned into Gongzili's ear and whispered.

Gongzili lowered his face and said: "If you want him to be a slave, forgive him and don't dare not give it." Let's go, I'm in my own way. ”

Gongzili showed his identity to the housekeeper who bought the man, but the housekeeper did not send the person out immediately, but shirked it hesitantly. It can be seen that the doctor in this building relied on the favor of the prince for a long time, and did not take this fourth prince of Qin in his eyes at all. The crown prince has a brutal favorite like Knowles, and he is not a good person. No wonder Wu Feng will try his best to support this fellow son-in-law.

"You buy this young man back, it's just the fun of a meal in Loulin, why don't I exchange this beautiful maid with you, I think he will be even happier." Gongzili suddenly said this, not only did Mi Cao turn white in fright, but even I was startled.

The housekeeper of the mansion looked Mi Cao up and down, and said with a flattering smile: "I despise the son!" ”

"Childe don't! Mi Cao is willing to serve his son all his life! When Mi Cao heard that she was crying, Gongzili patted her on the shoulder and said softly: "Why is the girl sad? The last thing my family lacks is a maid. If you can follow Dr. Lou, it will also be your blessing. After speaking, he handed me the chain that tied the young man's neck, and glanced at Fu Shu again. Mi Cao was immediately pushed to the head of the Lou Mansion.

I don't need to look at this time to know that this girl named Mi Cao must have hated me to death. But I don't feel guilty about her, with her appearance and temperament, she will naturally not be locked up with the vicious dog when she arrives at Lou's mansion, maybe one day she will be the concubine of Doctor Lou, and I will give her a salute.

Gongzili's carriage was soon chased back by Fu Zhan, but it was inconvenient for me to travel with the slaves at this time, so I went back to the house with Si'er. Along the way, I saw that the young man's wild nature had not been removed, and I did not dare to untie the chains on his body immediately, so I could only try to relax the chains in my hand so as not to pull the scars of his body, old and new.

"Ah Shi, he stinks to death, why don't we give him a bath?" In the small courtyard, Si'er poked the young man's chest with his fingertips.

"You go and take out the bedding clothes that the general sent the day before yesterday, and I'll fetch water for him."

"No, that dress is made of ice wool from the ground, are you willing to wear it for him?"

"Don't be reluctant, go quickly!" I gave the four a handful.

"It's a pity—" Si'er screamed and walked into the house, and after taking two steps, he couldn't help but turn around and shout at me, "Then you can fetch a few more buckets of water, and wash him with his clothes first." ”

"Got it."

The boy ignored the two of us, just crouched on the ground and looked around, as if everything was new to him. I fetched a bucket of water from the well and staggered to him. Then, squatting in front of him, he pointed to himself and said, "Ah Shi." Then he said of him, "Innocent." The boy blinked his eyes and looked confused, and I repeated it several times, feeling that the name was very appropriate for him who was born like a newborn.

"What are you telling him?" Si'er walked out of the room with his clothes in his hands.

I hurriedly pointed to Si'er and said to Wuxie: "Si'er." ”

Innocent looked at Si'er, roared defiantly, and bared his tiger teeth. Si'er's eyes were white, his tongue was sticking out, and he made a grimace at him: "Ah Shi, I don't think he likes me very much." Why don't you wipe him? Save him from biting me then. Si'er put his clothes on the edge of the well and handed me the white cloth in his hand.

"What are you afraid of him for? Aren't the chains still bolted! ”

"You know I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child, and I'll go to the door and show you. Hurry up and get him to the opposite room! After Si'er finished speaking, he glared at Wuxian and ran out.
