The group walked in the wind and snow for more than two quarters of an hour before reaching the vicinity of the house of the villager who raised the dog.

Before they could get close to the villager's house, the dog was already barking one after another.

Hearing the dense barking of dogs, Qin Shuhuang couldn't help but tremble, and his face was a little whiter than before.

She still can't get rid of her fear of dogs.

Xie Xuanye quickly noticed the change in Qin Shuhuang, he twisted his sword eyebrows, and approached Qin Shuhuang slightly, once Qin Shuhuang had the slightest mistake, he would protect her as soon as possible.

When they arrived at the courtyard of this villager, the old village chief asked Qin Shuhuang and his party to wait in place, and he went to knock on the door.

After knocking on the courtyard door for a while, a middle-aged bearded man wrapped in the ground like a bear came and opened the door.

When the man saw the old village chief, he frowned and said, "Village chief, why are you here, is there something wrong with this snowy day?" ”

The village chief said with a bitter face: "Xia Shan, there are distinguished guests looking for you, come and see your dog." ”

This middle-aged man named Xia Shan had a tiger on his face, and he was about to close the door immediately, "Village chief, how many times have you said that my dog is not for sale!" No one wants to buy it, no matter how much money you pay! ”

Where could the old village chief let him close the door like this, if he annoyed this group of people, the whole village would suffer.

"Summerhill! Look at them! Don't worry, they only said they wanted to come and see the dogs, they didn't say they wanted to buy your dog! Think of your son! ”

Xia Shan's son is ten years old, tiger head, almost grew up with Xia Shan's dog, if he didn't have him, his ten-year-old son wouldn't be able to live at all.

Summer Mountain now only cares about his son and his own dog.

The middle-aged man stretched out his head and glanced outside the courtyard, and saw that the leader was a young and beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament, followed by more than a dozen neatly dressed guards, with long swords at their waists, and some with sharp bows and arrows behind their backs.

The middle-aged man looked at this battle and glared at the old village chief with annoyance, "Let them come in." ”

The old village chief smiled and invited Qin Shuhuang and his party into the courtyard.

When he entered the yard, he barked when he saw the big dogs of strangers, fortunately these dogs were all locked behind a wooden fence and couldn't get out, otherwise Qin Shuhuang would not dare to step into this yard.

Because these dogs are too similar to the two dogs that Gu Hongchao bought in his previous life!

Seeing the dogs barking, Xia Shan scolded twice, these dogs were very psychic, and after Xia Shan said a few words, he immediately whined and whispered and lay on the haystack, only staring at Qin Shuhuang and his party vigilantly.

The yard is huge, with only four or five dogs in the front yard and more in the backyard.

Hearing human voices, a little boy about ten years old ran out of the house.

"Daddy! Who's coming! ”

As soon as the little boy came out, he saw so many people in the courtyard, and the temperament of these people was completely different from the people in the village he saw on a daily basis.

The little boy hid behind his father, Xia Shan, a little timidly.

Xia Shan said embarrassedly: "Let the noble man smile, this is my son, called Xia Dan." ”

Qin Shuhuang smiled at Xia Dan, who was peeking at her with wide eyes, and then took out a delicate dagger from his arms and handed it to him, "Xia Dan, give it to you." ”

No boy can resist the temptation of a good weapon.

Especially a dagger that Xia Dan can use when he is so big.

Although he wanted it very much, Xia Dan didn't take it directly, he looked up at his father.

Xia Shan still didn't know the purpose of Qin Shuhuang and the others coming, if it was really to rob his dogs, he would definitely not accept any kindness from Qin Shuhuang.

"This thing is too valuable, Xia Dan is still young, there is no need for it, the nobleman will take it back."

Seeing that Xia Shan's eyes were full of defense, Qin Shuhuang was not reluctant for the time being.

She handed the dagger to Shilan beside her, and entered the hall under the leadership of the old village chief and Xia Shan.

The little boy Xia Dan saw that his father did not accept the beautiful dagger, and a trace of loss crossed his eyes.

After entering the hall, Xia Shan poured hot water for everyone to entertain guests.

Qin Shuhuang glanced at this hall, there was not much furniture in it, and the few pieces of furniture were very old, which showed that the life of the father and son was not easy.

Qin Shuhuang said bluntly: "Xia Shan, are the dogs in your backyard just like those in the front yard?" ”

Xia Shan didn't know Qin Shuhuang's intention to inquire about the dog, so he only frowned and said: "Back to the nobles, the backyard is the same as the dog in the front yard, it is a kind of dog, and in winter, the dog is not easy to feed, so the villain separates the male dog and the female dog, the front yard is the male dog, and the backyard is the female dog puppy and the old dog." ”

Hearing Xia Shan say this, Qin Shuhuang's eyes burst with surprise.

Xia Shan's heart suddenly suffocated.

In the eyes of others, when it is such a cold day and this kind of heavy snow covering the mountains, his dogs are the best source of food......

But he couldn't give up any of them!

For him, these big dogs are not brutes, they are his companions!

Xia Shan suddenly knelt down in front of Qin Shuhuang, and then he begged: "Please let the nobles let go of the villain's dogs, they are no different from the villain's relatives, as long as the nobleman can let go of these dogs, the villain is willing to give all the food at home to the nobleman!" ”

Xia Dan didn't expect that his father, who had always been strong and stern, would kneel down in front of this woman who suddenly appeared, he broke free from the arms of the old village chief, and looked at Qin Shuhuang angrily, his previous good impression of Qin Shuhuang was instantly gone, and he ran towards Qin Shuhuang with two small fists, wanting to hit Qin Shuhuang with his head.

It's just that when he was still a long distance away from Qin Shuhuang, he was dragged by Luda.

Where is the ten-year-old Xia Dan Luda's opponent, Luda can make this little guy unable to move with one hand.

Xia Dan was about to curse Luda and Qin Shuhuang, but was sternly stopped by his father.

Xia Dan no longer struggled in Ruda's hands, and looked at his father aggrievedly with a pair of big watery eyes.

Qin Shuhuang was helpless and asked He Yutian to help Xia Shan up.

"Don't worry, I don't want your dogs, and I don't want your food, I just want to borrow your dog for use!"

Not only did Xia Shan not expect Qin Shuhuang to say this, but Xie Xuanye, Shilan, Lu Dahe, Yutian and others also didn't expect Qin Shuhuang to say this.

They thought the same as the old village chief before, thinking that Qin Shuhuang would use these dogs as food emergencies......

After all, it is not uncommon to eat dog meat in Dawu.

Hearing Qin Shuhuang's words, the panic in Xia Shan's eyes disappeared, and there was a trace of indescribable pride.

He took two steps forward and said in surprise: "The noble man really wants to use the villain's dog?" ”

Qin Shuhuang nodded, "I just don't know that your dog is useless." ”

Xia Shan suppressed the joy in his heart and said with a smile: "I don't know how the noble man wants to use the villain's dog?" ”

Qin Shuhuang noticed the change in Xia Shan's mood and raised his eyebrows, "I want to use your dog to transport goods, I don't know if it's feasible!" ”

With Qin Shuhuang's words, Xia Shan's eyes were completely lit up.

He said excitedly: "Do you know the origin of the villain's dog? ”

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "I don't know, but I heard that in cold places before, some people used dogs to transport goods, and in the heavy snow in winter, they were more powerful than cattle and horses!" ”

"A noble man has a good eye!" Xia Shan has never been so excited in his life!
