There is a vacant lot in the corner of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and there is a row of small houses under the wall, which are formed into a special dog breeding area.

Yu Qingfeng had never been here before, and Mrs. Ji did lead a few of them to visit the Hou Mansion before, but she bypassed it when she passed not far from this territory. And I didn't hear the slightest barking at the time.

At this moment, there seemed to be a group of dogs in the clearing, and because they were in a group, it was impossible to distinguish several for a while.

"Oh, why did you come here? It's dirty and smelly, so let's go back. ”

A family member was trying to separate the dogs that were gathered around with a long stick, and when he saw Yu Qingfeng and the three of them coming, he hurriedly put down the stick and nodded and came over.

"How did you get here? It's not because it's too noisy. Yu Qingfeng complained and asked, "Why didn't I hear a dog barking before, what's going on?" ”

"There was only one sick dog left in this kennel before, and it didn't bark for a few days. No, Hou Ye bought six more hounds. It's just that I didn't expect that these six newcomers would actually bully that sick dog. ”

"So, in the middle of the encirclement is the sick dog who was beaten?" Yu Qingfeng likes dogs, of course she can't listen to the injustices in the dog world, "Hurry up, hurry up and separate them!" ”

The family was about to pick up the stick that had just been thrown on the ground again, but was preempted by the other hand.

Yu Qingfeng looked at Tian Lei, who still needed Lin Ming's support just now, and swayed three times in one step, actually picked up the wooden stick and entered the fence.

"Go, go, go!" Tian Lei waved the wooden stick, although his mouth was fierce, but his hands were still measured, and he was not hard. He just wants to protect the weak.

"Uncle Tian be careful!" Yu Qingfeng shouted at Tian Lei, for fear that those fierce Chinese pastoral dogs would fight back against Tian Lei.

It turns out that Yu Qingfeng thinks too much, these big yellow and black people are very loyal to human beings, even if they are beaten, they will not bare their teeth, and they all obediently retreat.

"Huh? Weird, why don't they listen to me? The family outside the fence wondered.

Yu Qingfeng popularized science, "You don't understand this, it's useless for you outside, you have to go in, and you have to have momentum to deter them." Remember, they can sense your momentum, don't be intimidated. ”

Jia Ding scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was also just sent to take care of these dogs, I don't know much." Lao Xiao used to be in charge of raising dogs, but two months ago, he suddenly ......"

Yu Qingfeng and Lin Ming's attention was originally in the dog pen, looking at Tian Lei squatting down and caressing a skinny rhubarb lying on the ground. Suddenly, I heard Jiading halfway through his words, and it stopped abruptly, and his attention was attracted by Jiading.

Jia Ding covered his mouth at this time, his eyes widened, and he regretted saying the wrong thing.

Tian Lei wanted to pick up Rhubarb, who couldn't stand up, but he himself was not much better than Rhubarb, and after exerting his strength, he stumbled and simply fell beside Rhubarb.

Lin Ming couldn't see that this person and dog were so pitiful, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and didn't forget to call the family.

"I'm fine, leave me alone, give me this dog, and carry me back to my room." Tian Lei struggled to get up, pointed to the rhubarb lying on the ground, and gave orders to Lin Ming.

Jia Ding was supporting Tian Lei, and when he heard him say this, he was at a loss, "This, this is not appropriate, right?" ”

This matter is related to whether Yu Qingfeng's three-day appointment to Tian Lei can be fulfilled, and she immediately took out the pride of the distinguished guest, "Send it." ”

"Huh? The rooms are for people and this dog ......"

"Are you sure that the rooms in the Hou Mansion are full of people? Isn't there anything like a pig or a dog? ”

When Yu Qingfeng said this, what appeared in his mind was the hateful face of Ji Zongyuan, who was a domestic violence.

"Huh?" The family was even more confused.

"Do what Uncle Tian said, if someone blames him, he will say that he ordered him to come to me."

It's cool to say that.

The family nodded like pounding garlic, picked up the dog on the ground, and followed behind Tian Lei.

Finally, the four of them and one dog returned to Tian Lei's guest room.

The family put down the dog and was about to leave, but Yu Qingfeng stopped him, "Wait a minute." Did I let you go? ”

Jia Ding nodded and bowed, blamed himself, and stood honestly in place.

"Let me ask you, looking at the size of the kennel, there should have been at least ten dogs here before, right?"

Jia Ding nodded, "Yes, yes, at most there are twenty." ”

"Then why is there only one left, and it is still sick like this?"

"This, this ......"

"Say." Lin Ming commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes, the little ones don't dare to deceive. These dogs are all fighting dogs bought by Hou Ye, fighting dogs, they naturally have to be pulled out to fight, if they win, they come back with scars, and if they lose, they will naturally not come back. However, if they win, some of them won't last long after they come back. So, that's all there is left. No, Hou Ye bought another batch. ”

Fighting dogs! Cruel to the extreme! Ji Zongyuan added another crime!

Yu Qingfeng hated itchy.

After hearing this, Tian Lei picked up the rhubarb on the ground, put his face to his face, sobbed in a low voice, and muttered something like their lives.

Lin Ming's anger was only for a moment, he quickly calmed down and asked, "What are you talking about Lao Xiao?" ”

Jia Ding subconsciously covered his mouth again.

"Say—" Lin Ming once again took on a threatening momentum.

Jia Ding was frightened again, "Old Xiao, Lao Xiao two months ago, suddenly, suddenly committed suicide in this kennel. ”

"Suicide? Why? Is there someone from the government? ”

"The prefect sent someone over, saying that Lao Xiao committed suicide because he felt sorry for the dead fighting dog. Hou Ye didn't let us talk about this, it wasn't a small deliberate cover-up, really. ”

Yu Qingfeng firmly believes that there is something in Lao Xiao's death. It seems that the work to be done on this business trip is not over.

"Lao Xiao is doing the job of raising fighting dogs, will he commit suicide because of this?" Lin Ming hit the nail on the head and pointed out the problem.

Jia Ding made a bitter face, "I don't know about this little one." ”

Indeed, it is better to ask this family member directly than to ask the prefect Hong Zengxian.

Tian Lei sat on the ground, holding the weak rhubarb in his arms, gently stroking the dog's head, and reading in pieces:

"Poor rhubarb, watching your companions die one by one, you can only avoid the doom of being dragged to kill your own kind without eating or drinking, and becoming sick like this."

"Uncle Tian, the three-day deadline has arrived, I am willing to gamble and lose, I am ready to settle down, I will send you on my way tonight."

Yu Qingfeng was serious, and said such terrible words in a gentle and low voice.

Tian Lei pretended not to hear, and still stroked the dog's head over and over again.

"After you're gone, I'll send the rhubarb back. Alas, Rhubarb, like you, has given up and is ready to fend for himself, maybe the two of you are the front and rear feet, and you wait for it on the Huangquan Road, maybe you can be a companion. ”

Okay, if you pretend you didn't hear it, then I'll go ahead and say that you take the initiative to admit defeat.

Tian Lei pursed his lips and glanced up at Yu Qingfeng.

"Alas, we have been running to the medical center for the past few days, and the entire medical center in Suzhou has been running all over the place, one is to see a doctor for me, and the other is to ask for medicine. It took me three years to borrow five years of money, and I borrowed five years from Lord Lin to buy such a little bit of Anlesan. The clinic said that once sold, it will not be returned. ”

Tian Lei hugged the rhubarb. Rhubarb raised his head, his watery eyes looked at Tian Lei affectionately, and a pitiful muffled sound came out of his throat, like a helpless child.

"Well, I can't make a promise in the future. Come over later and see you off in person. You should say goodbye to Rhubarb first, and look at it is also very reluctant to look at you. ”

Tian Lei's lips moved, and he said with difficulty: "Can you let the rhubarb stay with me and get it some meat to eat." When I was a child, I also picked up one of these yellow dogs, which was also starved and dying, and later, it stayed with me for fifteen years. ”

"Of course you can, anyway, it's just a matter of half a day, you can ...... it up"

"Oops!" Tian Lei suddenly interrupted Yu Qingfeng loudly, "I lost, can't I regret it?" ”

Yu Qingfeng smiled and exited the room, closed the door, and sent the family to prepare for Rhubarb's food immediately, and he would give Rhubarb good food and drink every day in the future.

"Great, Uncle Tian finally found hope to live, Rhubarb, who is his confidant of the same disease."

Lin Ming was infected by Yu Qingfeng's happiness and pride, and he unconsciously smiled.

Not far away, Lian Shurong walked over, and when he saw Yu Qingfeng and Lin Ming smiling, he couldn't help but be curious.

Lin Ming described to Lian Shurong what had just happened.

Lian Shurong couldn't laugh, and said sentimentally: "The dog is loyal and sensible, and he can indeed be regarded as a confidant." It's just that it's no better than relatives, after all, the life span is shorter, at most more than ten years, and Uncle Tian still has to face another parting. ”

"It's okay, just let Rhubarb give birth to a puppy, and when the time comes, I'll tell Uncle Tian that Rhubarb can entrust his child to you, and you can't leave it alone."

Yu Qingfeng's serious rhetoric sounded like a joke to Lian Shurong.

"Isn't this a delaying tactic, you can't completely change Uncle Tian's mentality, let him live with his own beliefs......"

"It doesn't matter, the plan to delay the army, slow down, a lifetime will pass. That's what it's like to live. Yu Qingfeng exported his philosophy of life with a big grin.

Lin Ming and Lian Shurong were both dumbfounded, staring at Yu Qingfeng incredulously, they couldn't believe that Yu Qingfeng's maidservant, who could only read and write a word, was even more transparent than the two of them who had passed the imperial examination and became officials.

Yu Qingfeng realized it later, and she was afraid and resistant, and she really liked Pei Wuying's self, isn't it just the same as Tian Lei?

This is really a mystery for the authorities.

That's right, Yu Qingfeng is Tian Lei, and Pei Wuyi is rhubarb. Such an analogy seems to be a bit sorry for Pei Wuyi, but he is indeed rhubarb.

Since Yu Qingfeng believes that Tian Lei should not reject rhubarb because of his short fate with rhubarb, and should not refuse to get together because he will be separated sooner or later, then why should he refuse the feelings that are already on the bow?

That's right, after the end of the play, Yu Qingfeng really can't be sure where she will be, but what she can be sure of now is that she is really interested in Pei Wuyi.

Do you reject your inner feelings because you are afraid of separation, and stifle the budding feelings that have already emerged? That doesn't seem to be the case.

Moreover, it is hard to help yourself, is this what Yu Qingfeng said can be stifled if it is strangled?
