Chapter 289: The Lonely Grave Soul Hurts One

"Dog meat shop?"

Ah Zi was a little incredulous, what Xiao He was looking for for most of the day turned out to be a dog meat shop.

"This 'Li Ji Dog Meat' shop, but it's been a few years, and I haven't been back for so long, I can still remember its taste..."

The tip of Xiao He's nose twitched, his eyes lit up, and he pointed to a small old façade in front of him:

"Finally found it, it's it..."

Ah Zi looked in the direction Xiao He pointed to, and what caught his eye was a small shop, with a black flag hanging in front of the shop, and the word "Li Ji" was written on the flag, but it was also very easy to recognize.

Xiao He and the others walked quickly to the front of the shop, and saw a middle-aged man with his shirt bared on the board, only to see him skillfully dismantling each part of the dog meat clearly, and a large iron pot next to him "suddenly" emitted white smoke, and the aroma wafting from it lingered, making people salivate.

"Shop, how do you sell dog meat?" Xiao He asked when he stepped forward and opened his mouth.

The middle-aged man didn't raise his head, nor did he put down the things in his hand, and said loudly:

"The price of each part of the dog meat is different, which part do you want? Don't waste my time..."

Ah Zi saw that this person's words were not good, and he suddenly became angry, frowned, and sneered:

"Are the rough people in the countryside also pretending to be high like this?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, his eyes widened, and he knocked the bone dismantling knife on the board and turned around:

"Little girl, are you here to buy dog meat? if you don't buy it, don't pestle here, delay my business!"

"Hmph, isn't it just a dog meat seller, what are you doing? Believe it or not, this girl demolished your shop?"

Ah Zi raised his eyebrows coldly, and did not let in the slightest.

Xiao He secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly compensated the middle-aged man:

"Uncle Li, don't be angry, she is a foreigner, she doesn't understand the rules, and I hope to take care of her..."

Ah Zi glared at Xiao He and said through a secret voice:

"Xiao He, this person is so hateful, if you don't teach him a lesson, I really can't swallow this breath..."

"County Lord, when you go out, it's better to be a guest with the master..."

Xiao He was at the beginning of the Yuan Shen at this time, but he could also use this secret sound method. But Ah Zi heard that he didn't mean to protect himself at all, and he was immediately very surprised.

After the middle-aged man saw Xiao He, he was stunned for a moment, then looked him up and down, and said tentatively:

"This little brother, have the two of us met?"

Xiao He grinned, "Uncle Li, I'll have two sauce dog necks, plus a pot of burning knives, a total of twenty yuan, right?"

Buckle the money that had already been counted in his hand on the edge of the board, Xiao He added:

"Dog meat must be an uncastrated male dog, I can eat it..."

The middle-aged man suddenly slapped his hands on the board, leaned out, and looked at Xiao He again and again, showing joy:

"You're... Xiao Xiao, I haven't seen you for so many years, you've grown so tall... Tsk, this body is much more solid, if your master is still alive, he will definitely be very happy..."

As soon as the middle-aged man said this, he noticed that Xiao He's expression was a little gloomy, and secretly scolded himself, and then pushed the money out of the board.

"Uncle Li, what are you ?..." Xiao was puzzled.

"I've eaten my dog meat for so many years, and I'm a regular customer, this time I'm the east, just forget the money..."The middle-aged man suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

Xiao He obviously knew this person's temper very well, but he no longer shirked and put the money away.

"There are less than ten people who can drink my knife-burning in the entire Qinglong City, Xiao He, you are one of them..."

The middle-aged man said as he wrapped the two pieces of dog meat in yellow oiled paper, took Xiao He's animal skin wine sac, and turned to the back to get the wine.

Ah Zi looked at Xiao He with strange eyes, and the latter didn't look at her, but took out a jewel from his arms and threw it into the money basket of "Li Ji".

"Your master... He—" Ah Zi wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it again.

"I know what you want to ask, follow me later, and you'll understand..."

Xiao He closed his eyes and sniffed the taste of dog meat, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The middle-aged man appeared, walked quickly to the cabinet, and handed the wine bag in his hand to Xiao He:

"I've got the wine and dog meat, and I want to say hello to your master on my behalf..."

Xiao He nodded heavily, and was about to say goodbye, but he heard the middle-aged man add another sentence:

"Xiao He, your little daughter-in-law looks good, but her temper is not very good, you have to be good*, otherwise you will definitely cause trouble..."

Before Xiao He could respond, Ah Zi had already blushed with shame, paced a few times, and said viciously:

"Who is the little daughter-in-law of this brute bull? You rough man, why are you so open-mouthed, if you are in the imperial capital, you will definitely be punished by the nine clans!"

"Tsk..."The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile, "This is Qinglong City, but it is not your imperial capital, if you want to punish the nine clans, you have to be a relative of the emperor, dare to ask the little lady if she is the county lord?" haha..."

Ah Zi is indeed a genuine county lord, there is no doubt about this.

Taking out a token from his cuff that showed a streamer all over his body, Ah Zi shouted proudly:

"This girl happens to be the county lord in your mouth, why don't you take your life quickly?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the style of the token clearly, he immediately trembled with fright. Such a token can indeed only be worn by the emperor's relatives, and if ordinary people hold it, they will definitely be killed, and the woman in front of her can be so open-minded, it can only show that she is indeed the county lord.

The big man hurriedly flashed from behind the counter, knelt on the ground, knocked his head a few times, and beads of sweat on his forehead were the size of beans:

"The grass people really deserve death, and they have offended the county lord... Please also ask the county lord to spare the lives of the grass people..."

Xiao He frowned and looked at Ah Zi, with a hint of anger in his eyes. Ah Zi felt Xiao He's blame, although his heart was shaken, but at this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he could only hold on.

"That's... Okay, I'll forgive you. You... You can get flat..."

Ah Zi felt a little ashamed in her heart, and she was a little unfavorable when she spoke.

The middle-aged man picked up his life, he was very happy, hurriedly got up, bent down and retreated, and when he looked at Xiao He again, he was a little afraid, and he was no longer as enthusiastic as he was a moment ago.

Xiao He sighed lightly, took the dog meat and wine bag and turned around and left.

Seeing him leave without saying a word, Ah Zi's face suddenly became particularly ugly, and after noticing the strange gazes of the people around him, he hurriedly chased after him.

Xiao He strode towards the outside of the city, and Ah Zi followed closely less than ten steps behind.

"County Lord, since my injuries are almost healed, you don't have to come along, do you?"

"I know you're mad at me, I... I've gone a little too far..."

Ah Zi lowered his head slightly, showing shame, as the county lord, it is rare to be able to bend his body to say this like this.

Xiao He stopped and left Ah Zi with a back:

"The love between me and Uncle Li, just because of your words, has been mixed with a lot of sand, no matter what you do, you can't get it back. Xiao will remember that his life was saved by the county lord, since we have different identities, let's leave it at that..."

When Ah Zi heard Xiao He's words, she couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance in her heart, and even a little sour, very uncomfortable.

"Xiao He, what I'm doing is a little wrong, but you should also wake up and face yourself..."

Xiao He's body was shocked, turned around, and stared at Ah Zi:

"What did you just say?"

Ah Zi was uncomfortable by Xiao He's burning eyes, gritted his teeth, and said what was in his heart:

"Although I often put on the shelf of the county lord, I finally know who I am, and you, Xiao He, have never recognized yourself clearly... You still can't let go of your past, you don't have the courage to make a break with it, how can you face the road ahead?"

Xiao He chewed Ah Zi's words carefully and muttered to himself:

"Do you know myself?"

Ah Zi looked happy and stepped forward, "These days, your friends have also told me some of your stories... Xiao He, you are not an ordinary person, but you have to recognize this, and besides, you may still be able to influence the pattern of Kyushu..."

Xiao He smiled slightly and nodded slightly:

"I understand what the county lord means, there is great righteousness and small righteousness in this world, and when the time comes, naturally there will be some trade-offs..."

Ah Zi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the brains of the wild bull in front of him were okay.

The two continued to step on the residual snow and walked towards the bamboo forest in the suburbs, but they changed from one to the other to the left and the right.
