Chapter 213: The Token on the Puppy
"Yo, where did this puppy come from? Go, go, go! Stay back! ”
The coachman and Shi Feng took turns keeping vigil tonight, and when they heard the barking of the dog, they turned around and threw stones at the other side, trying to drive away the puppy that suddenly appeared.
Shi Feng was originally drowsy next to him, but when he heard the movement, his body trembled violently and he was woken up by fright! "Ouch, what's going on? Is anyone coming? ”
The place where they spent the night was beside the mountain road, and a little further through it was the mountains, in which there were not only wild beasts, but also bandits.
If it weren't for the fact that there was really no place to rest nearby, Su Liuye and the others wouldn't want to sleep here.
"There's a puppy who doesn't know where to run out, go and go, don't come here!" The coachman said as he tried to chase the puppy away.
But the puppy seemed to be hungry, and kept wagging its tail, "Wangwang" ran to Shi Feng's firewood, where there was still half a roast chicken, which Shi Feng had just cooked.
The chickens he bought when he left Sanxi Town, bought a total of four, processed them on the way, marinated them all night, and roasted them fragrantly.
Su Liuye and Qin Lian ate most of them, and the rest were eaten by the coachman and Shi Feng, and the small half they kept and wanted to eat tomorrow, so they kept it next to the firewood and kept it warm, but they didn't expect to attract this puppy.
"Hey, brother, slow down, I still have a few pieces of meat, give this little dog to eat!"
After Shi Feng saw the puppy on the other side of the grass, he suddenly became a little interested, stopped the groom, and picked up a few pieces of leftover meat from the ground and fed them to the puppy.
The puppy smelled the meat and ran over happily wagging its tail.
Su Liuye opened the curtain and looked at it, seeing that there was such a scene, she smiled and wanted to put the curtain down, so as not to let the wind blow in at night and wake up Qin Lian.
But at this moment, Shi Feng over there made a "huh" sound, and reached out to grab the puppy, "Why is this puppy wearing a jade pendant, it still looks like a good thing!" ”
"What?"
The coachman leaned over, looked at it, and exclaimed, "Yo, it's really a jade pendant!" It can't be a gold thread tied to it, right!? As he spoke, he moved to get the object from the puppy's neck.
Shi Feng hurriedly hugged the dog aside, turned his head and glared at the coachman, "This is mine!" ”
Shi Feng is already tall, plus he has a strong figure in the kitchen all day long, especially since he still carries a kitchen knife around his waist at all times.
When Fang just killed the chickens, Shi Feng didn't blink his eyes, and directly cut off the necks of the four chickens.
The coachman glanced at the kitchen knife at his waist, swallowed, and sat next to him not daring to speak again.
Shi Feng looked at the things on the puppy's neck, and after thinking about it, he didn't know what it was, and he was not interested in them, so he simply gave the puppy to Fang Cai, and watched it wagging its tail with satisfaction, and snorting to eat the meat pieces on the ground.
Su Liuye saw that she couldn't sit still here, and lifted the curtain to go down, "Shi Feng, you let me see the jade pendant on the puppy." ”
"Shopkeeper, you haven't slept yet?" When Shi Feng saw her come down, he was a little surprised at first, and then took off the jade pendant from the puppy's neck.
The jade pendant was removed, and the puppy didn't react at all.
Looking at this thing, it's really not this puppy's.
Su Liuye's eyes sank, and she took the jade pendant.
This piece of jade pendant is exquisitely carved, and a lifelike auspicious dragon is engraved on it. The jade pendant is placed on the palm of the hand, the touch is gentle, and the color is green and clear.
She thought for a moment, and took out the jade pendant given to her by the executive's family before and compared it, and the color was not as good as the one hanging around the puppy's neck.
"It's ......"
She frowned, suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked Shi Feng, "Shi Feng, did you just see where this puppy came from?" ”
"That's it."
Shi Feng pointed in the direction and said strangely, "Shopkeeper, is something wrong?" ”
She glanced at the coachman sitting there, pondered for a moment, and said directly, "Look at it, the jade pendant on this puppy is very good, and it looks like it's top-grade." How could something so valuable appear on a puppy for no reason? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the missing child of the Liu Fu merchant in Sanxi Town is near here, and this jade plate must have been specially worn by the little prince on the puppy."
"Really?"
Shi Feng's eyes widened, he was still a little curious when he heard about the incident in Sanxi Town, he didn't expect to let them meet at night.
He looked at the jade pendant in Su Liuye's hand again, although he didn't understand jade, but such a clear jade pendant was definitely not ordinary.
Su Liuye pondered, turned back to the coachman and said, "Uncle Liu, I want to ask, do you know where there is a place on this mountain where people can live?" ”
"Yes, a lot!"
The coachman had been listening to him for a long time, and when he heard that Su Liuye didn't intend to hide it from him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This lady, let me tell you, this mountain is called Tieniu Mountain, and there is a nest of thieves on it." If you want to talk about the master, there are so many places up there! ”
Liu Laohan often drove a carriage through the nearby area, so he was naturally familiar with this place.
"A den of thieves?" Su Liuye frowned.
"That's right!" Liu Laohan nodded solemnly, "The big boss of the bandit is called Zhang Tieniu, and he has been here for decades. What do you think? Little lady, have you found the little prince? Liu Laohan asked along the voice, his eyes shining.
Su Liuye wasn't sure at the moment, so he just shook his head, "I don't know, but if there are so many places on the mountain where people can be hidden, it is strange that the little prince is hidden on the mountain." This puppy may have been used by the little prince to deliver letters. ”
Otherwise, how could an ordinary puppy wear such an expensive jade pendant?
Even the jade pendant given to her by the royal executive's family is not comparable.
In the capital, the jade pendant is a symbol of status.
Liu Laohan was stunned when he heard her say this, but he still said excitedly, "Little lady, if not, let's take the jade pendant to Liu Fushang's mansion, maybe we can get a reward, if we can find the little prince, it would be the best!" ”
"I don't think any of you are from Sanxi Town, and you may not know that Liu Fushang's sister is the concubine in the palace!"
"Concubine?!" Su Liuye took a breath, this is the most respected person she has heard.
"Yes! I can't be wrong with this news. Liu Laohan said, "My cousin is the nephew of the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion!" If you go to town and ask about these things, you will know that I am not lying. ”
Su Liuye was a little embarrassed by his relationship, but no matter what, Liu Laohan still knew a lot of news, and telling them this was nothing more than a piece of the pie.
But she never thought of hiding it from Liu Laohan from the beginning, in the wilderness here, if Liu Laohan became jealous, they would not end well.
