The village chief pretended to be puzzled and said, "No, right? This dog is very obedient, I didn't let it bite, will it bite casually?"

Zhou Jian said angrily: "You don't pretend to be crazy and stupid! You dog is so cruel, you know it, if you don't lock it up, and let it run around, you don't know how many people you have bitten!"

The arrogant young man, the son of the village chief, sneered: "It's really strange, you said it bit someone, why didn't anyone come to my door?"

The onlookers shifted their eyes and did not dare to look at him. In fact, this dog is rampant in the village, and he wants to bite people when he initiates sex, and sometimes when he sees villagers carrying pork and beef, he also pounces on it and grabs it. The villagers were afraid of the village chief's obscenity, and they didn't dare to touch the dog, let alone find a theory, and they could only endure the loss.

Now all the villagers are happy when they see the retribution of this evil dog, but they don't dare to show it on their faces.

The village chief said: "The eldest nephew is injured, and the medical expenses will be paid by my family, and this dog will be compensated by your family, so it is the fairest, right?"

Zhou Jian was about to pick it up, but Zhou Ying's father said, "Slow." He asked the village chief, "How much is this dog?"

The village chief smiled and said: "This dog is the breeding of black dogs and wild dogs in southern Xinjiang, you know the black dogs, the market price is three hundred taels of silver, this dog's bloodline is not pure, even if you are one hundred and fifty taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the father and son were shocked and angry, and Zhou Jian shouted: "You are a slanderer!"

The village chief smiled and said: "Eldest nephew, you are not right, our villagers, can you be an uncle?" If you don't believe it, let's take the dog's corpse to Kuangtian City to find someone to identify it, how about it?"

Zhou Jian said angrily: "You have already bought someone to perjury for you, do you think we don't know?"

The arrogant young man said: "It's against you, dare to talk to the village chief like this, believe it or not, I will arrest you in prison?"

Zhou Jian didn't give in: "You should catch one and try it!"

The arrogant young man raised his fist and was about to make a move, Zhou Jian was also gearing up, Zhou Ying's father suddenly shouted: "Stop!" This shout startled the two teenagers and was stunned.

The village chief said: "Son, if you have something to say, let's convince people with reason." The arrogant young man glared at Zhou Jian and retreated.

Zhou Ying's father pondered for a moment and said, "Village Chief, don't say one hundred and fifty taels of silver, it is fifteen taels of silver, and our family can't take it out, can you be tolerant?"

The village chief was embarrassed and said: "Old Zhou, you can't let me suffer too much, right? Otherwise, I won't lose face in front of the villagers?" After a pause, he said, "I have a solution, don't you think it will work." ”

Zhou Ying's father said: "Say it." ”

The village chief hesitated for a while and said, "My eldest son is still single, and your daughter is not married yet, they are the same age, why don't we get married." This marriage is done, it's a family, and there is nothing to say about money or not. ”

Zhou Jian said angrily: "Your eldest son is demented, how can my sister marry him!"

The arrogant young man glared and said, "Who do you say is dementia!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to make a move again, Zhou Ying hurriedly shouted: "Don't fight!" squeezed into the crowd, stood in front of his father and younger brother, and said, "Uncle Ning, we will pay back the money slowly, please forgive me for a few days." ”

The village chief smiled: "Xiaoying is back." Hehe, my uncle also knows that you can earn a lot of money in a month as a maid in Xianheju, but the expenses in the city are also large, and you have worked for two years, I'm afraid that the silver you have saved is less than ten taels, right? One hundred and fifty taels of silver, it will take thirty years to pay it back, this is not realistic, right?"

Zhou Ying bowed her head and was silent.

The village chief said again: "Xiaoying, although my eldest son is not bright-minded, he is very simple and sincere, if you follow him, he will spoil you like a baby." And in the whole village, my uncle's family built a small building, and you don't have to do any work when you get married, just eat, drink and have fun every day, how good. ”

Zhou Jian said indignantly: "The money from the sale of the vacant land in the south of the village and the vacant land in the west of the village and the subsidies issued above are all greedy by you, of course you have money." ”

A hint of anger flashed across the village chief's face, he shook his head and sighed, and turned away.

The arrogant boy knew what his father meant, and shouted: "Either lose money now, or hand over the people! Rob them for me!" At the sound of an order, more than a dozen big men rushed up.

Zhou Ying's father and Zhou Jian raised iron forks and shovels to stop them, and Zhou Ying's father shouted: "In broad daylight, you rob the people's daughters, and there is no royal law!"

All the villagers felt that the village chief was excessive, and they began to talk in a low voice, and a dwarf muttered: "A dog for a big girl, isn't this a robber?"

The arrogant young man shouted: "Li Shujiao, do you believe that Lao Tzu picked up your house?"

After all, Zhou Ying's father and Zhou Jian were no match for a dozen or so strong men, and they were quickly pressed to the ground by the other party, and the two men were about to step forward to catch Zhou Ying, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Stop!" A person walked through the crowd and came to the door of Zhou Ying's house, it was Lu Xiaoyuan.

Without saying a word, he walked to the dead dog, squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and said to the village chief: "This uncle, this dog is a cross between the black dogs of Southern Xinjiang?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, I used one hundred and thirty taels when I bought it, and when I fed it so big, one hundred and fifty taels is not much, right?"

Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "If it is really the descendant of the Southern Xinjiang Black Dog, even if the bloodline is not pure, it can be worth two hundred taels of silver, and you want one hundred and fifty taels, which is really not much." After a moment's notice, he said, "But this dog doesn't seem to have any black dog blood." Let's take a look. ”

Everyone approached, and Lu Xiaoyuan said: "The black dog is known as the god of death among beasts, and the most powerful thing is the barb-like front teeth, biting the prey, the prey will never escape, everyone will see." "When I opened the dog's mouth, the two rows of teeth were very sharp, but there were no barbs.

The arrogant boy said, "Maybe this dog didn't get this genetic." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said with a smile: "Without barbed teeth, even if you have the blood of a black dog, the price will be greatly discounted." He also said: "No matter what breed the black dog mates with, there will definitely be a white stripe behind the ear, this dog..."

The village chief's face changed, and he said, "The feet of the black dog are red, aren't the feet of this dog also red?"

Lu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said: "No, the feet of the newborn black dog are black, because the fire spirit in the southern Xinjiang is vigorous, and the black dog is fire-loving, and it will turn red when it lives next to the volcano for a long time." Less than a year after bringing it back to the Central Plains, his feet turned black again. ”
