Queqiu Town has a prosperous market, crowded with people, all kinds of business transactions on both sides of the street, and the north and south licensed goods are neat and tidy. Fruit shop, sugar shop, clothing shop, everything. At the end of the bridge and the alleys, there are people who perform tricks, fortune-telling and word-counting, storytelling, and singing drums... It is very lively.
Yuan Xianger carried a small basket and walked on the crowded street. The basket was covered with a piece of floral cloth, and a small white head arched out from the edge of the cotton cloth, rolling its eyes and looking around quietly.
"The chestnut cake at Zhouji in front is the best made in town. It's soft and glutinous, and it melts in your mouth. Their sweet-scented osmanthus candy is also delicious, with a strong fragrance of osmanthus." Yuan Xiang'er gave it as she walked. Nan He introduced the town's specialties and specialties. He said that he was greedy. He ran into Zhouji and bought a large bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candy and chestnut cake.
The sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus is very delicately made. The amber-colored squares are solidified with dots of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus petals.
Yuan Xiang'er twisted one and handed it to Nan He's mouth. Nan He turned his head away, it was impossible for him to eat from other people's hands.
Maybe wolves don't like sweets? Yuan Xiang'er lifted the cloth on the basket and put the candy on the cushion beside the little wolf.
When he looked again after a while, the little candy had disappeared. The silver-white little wolf sat upright with his ears pricked up, his eyes not squinting. Only the big tail that swept back and forth quietly behind him revealed his sweet mood.
"Xiang'er? What a coincidence to meet you." A familiar voice sounded, and outside the door of the clothing store, they met Aunt Wu's family who lived in the same alley.
Aunt Wu's eldest daughter, Dahua, told a family in Lianghe Town that a wedding would be held in the spring, so she was in the process of buying a dowry.
"Xiang'er, come and help my elder sister to pick one." Erhua hugged Yuan Xianger's arm affectionately. Several of their children are Yuan Xianger's friends who have played together since childhood, and they are very familiar with each other.
"Oh, Xiang'er, what's in your basket? Still moving?"
Er Hua found Nan He hiding in the basket and shouted out.
Several girls from the Wu family quickly gathered around and looked at the fluffy little balls of fur in the basket.
"Wow, so cute, it's a puppy."
"Silver hair is really rare, where did Xiang'er catch it?"
"It's fur is so beautiful, soft and supple, let me touch it."
Nan He lowered his body and slowly retreated behind the basket.
A group of human beings gathered around, chattering, making him feel depressed and nervous for a while. Those human palms mixed with various scents stretched out to him from the air.
If anyone dares to touch me, I will bite his hand and break their necks one by one.
The vicious wolf clan stared nervously at those black palms, thinking viciously in their hearts.
Yuan Xianger turned sideways, avoiding those who wanted to stretch out their hands to knead the dumplings, and raised her arms to block the outstretched hands of Dahua, Erhua, Sihua, and Wuhua.
"I can't touch it, he's very fierce, and I'm the only one who touches him."
As if to prove it, Yuan Xiang'er reached out and touched the little wolf's head naturally, because her body was stretched and she was guarding the group of human females who suddenly gathered in front of her. Nan He couldn't care about Yuan Xiang'er's actions for a while, and before she had time to react, she had already succeeded in withdrawing her hand.
"It's not a dog, it's a wolf, right?" The shopkeeper of the clothing store stuck his head out from behind the counter, looked at Yuan Xiang'er's basket, twisted the moustache under his jaw, and said shaking his head,
"This fur is really rare, but it's too small. If you can raise it a little bit, then peel it off. It can sell for a good price."
The silver-white snow wolf with no stray hair glared at him and barked at him, revealing sharp teeth.
"Hey, is it possible that this has become a fine, can understand people's words?" The shopkeeper laughed, "Little girl, we also buy leather here, do you want to sell this little wolf to me, I can give it to you Ten taels of silver."
When Aunt Wu heard the ten taels of silver, she gasped in surprise and hurriedly pushed Yuan Xianger's arm.
"Xiang'er, hurry up, it's about to be sold, it's only 10 taels of silver, you can keep it for dowry in the future."
Yuan Xianger laughed and laughed, rejected the shopkeeper's proposal, and left.
"How much do you want to make? We can discuss it." The shopkeeper added a sentence behind her.
After this one, Nan He remembered his childhood experiences in a human town, and his interest became low. He no longer stretched out his two claws and pulled the edge of the basket to look around like before, but silently curled up in the basket.
"Don't be like this, every human being is different, there are those who like you, and of course there are those who want to hurt you. Isn't it the same with goblins?" Yuan Xiang'er coaxed him, "Be happy, there is a bakery in front of me, I invite you Eat roast lamb?"
The fat and thin lamb, roasted over charcoal fire, exudes a tempting aroma. This strange fragrance that the wolf clan could not resist quickly made Xiao Nanhe forget the unpleasantness and drilled out of the basket again.
Yuan Xianger held up a bunch of freshly grilled mutton in front of Nan He.
Nan He's eyes lit up, staring straight at the mutton skewer that was sizzling with oil.
It's also so fragrant.
Lamb is the wolf's favorite food, not to mention that it is so delicious when cooked by humans, but he feels that as a noble Sirius, he should not eat with the hands of humans anyway, isn't this equal to being fed.
"Eat it quickly, this meat is well-grilled, fragrant and tender. If you don't eat it, I can eat it all." Yuan Xianger ate it herself, grinning as she was scalded, and she mumbled.
Nan He endured and endured, but in the end, unable to resist the temptation of the plump mutton, he quickly grabbed Yuan Xiang'er's hand, took a piece of mutton from the bamboo stick, and turned his head to eat it.
One person and one wolf quickly solved twenty or thirty skewers. Mouth full of oil, satisfied.
The master who sold the skewers felt distressed while grilling the skewers, "Girl, you are so wasteful, it's a pity to give such a good fat sheep to a beast."
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity. Uncle, you don't know, this is not a beast, it's my friend." Yuan Xiang'er smiled and looked at the little furry who was still fighting with the mutton, stretched out his hand and gently followed the soft hair on his back Took a few.
With the friendship together, Yuan Xianger felt that the awkward little wolf had put down a lot of his guard. While he was enjoying his meal, he ran the hair down his back. He didn't jump away like he did before, but just whined a few times to express his dissatisfaction.
In fact, it is quite good, after all, it is a canine. Yuan Xianger thought in her heart that it was much better than the raccoon cat she once raised. After the cat ancestor came to the house, she carefully coaxed her for a month, and finally she was willing to condescend once in a while when she was in a good mood. Lie down and let yourself touch a few times.
The back is okay, Yuan Xianger thought about sneaking a sneak attack on the ears again, seeing the little wolf baring his teeth unbearably, and biting his mouth open, he quickly retracted his hand.
Nan He glared angrily at the human being in front of him, not knowing why she was so hateful, he reached out to touch his ears at every turn. And she didn't seem to think it was too much, and she was still smiling so happily in front of her.
Nan He looked at the human being's white, thin, grease-stained fingers. For some reason, the urge to stick out his tongue and lick it suddenly occurred in his heart.
He was startled by his inexplicable thought, raised his small paw and patted his face hard, turned his back to Yuan Xianger, and refused to eat mutton any more.
The self-healing ability of the Heavenly Wolf Clan is amazing. After only three or two days, Yuan Xianger found that Nan He's broken hind leg had healed for the most part, and she could barely stand up and limped on the kitchen floor. Two steps away.
A string of crisp ringing bells, a hollowed rattan ball with a copper bell, rolled to Little Wolf's feet. He lowered his head vigilantly and looked left and right for a long time, confirming that it was just an ordinary rattan ball and not an illegal weapon.
"Look at what I found, let's play ball? Come, come, throw it back to me." Yuan Xianger stood on the edge of the platform to recruit him.
Yuan Xianger, who was preparing chicken and duck feed, pulled a ball out of nowhere. Just thinking about playing a game of push ball with little furry.
Stupid human who doesn't know what to think all day long. Nan He turned his head dismissively and ignored her.
All his attention was on the large pot of beef bone broth simmering on the stove. There was beef bones in that pot of soup, and it had been simmering for a whole morning. The fragrance came out of the gap in the lid, and took the initiative to get into Nan He's nostrils.
When can we eat it? The food made by humans is indeed delicious, but it is too troublesome.
Of course, even if he wanted to eat again, he couldn't ask, and he still tried to maintain a disdainful indifference on his face. Only the trailing tail swept back and forth impatiently, betraying a little of his longing.
Yuan Xianger lifted the lid of the pot, and a cloud of white steam rose up with the smell of beef, filling the small kitchen.
Nan He couldn't help sitting up straight.
"The soup is almost done, so this bone is useless." Yuan Xiang'er looked at the pot of beef bone soup, took out the beef bones with chopsticks, and put it into a basin.
Then, in Nan He's eager eyes, he carried a basin and a large bucket of chicken and duck feed mixed with leftovers from chopped vegetables and walked out of the kitchen.
Nan He has some doubts in his heart. In the past few days, every time there is something delicious, Yuan Xianger always shares it with him at the first time, and even puts him on the same bench for dinner. He has become accustomed to it subconsciously. Where is the food going this time
The little wolf limped out slowly, and saw the human being carrying a wooden bucket, dividing food among the chicken coops, duck coops, and goose coops. Then put the pot of steaming beef bones in front of the kennel under the plane tree.
The shameless black dog in the yard rushed over happily, wagging its tail flatteringly, and burying its head in the basin that should have belonged to him. And that woman unscrupulously reached out to touch the head and ears of the black dog, and rubbed it along its plump body for a while.
An anger surged in Nan He's heart. He wanted to bite the black dog's neck in one bite. Who else could that woman give her food that should belong to her
The black dog, who was gnawing at the bones with joy, suddenly felt a murderous aura. It raised its head and saw the little silver wolf staring at itself with a pair of cold eyes not far away.
It was just a small wolf pup, but from the day the owner brought him back, Xiao Hei, relying on animal intuition, realized that this was a huge and terrifying existence that he could not provoke casually.
It tucked its tail in a cowardly manner, whimpered aggrievedly, and pushed the basin that it used to eat every day in the direction of the little wolf, expressing concession.
Who's going to use that dirty pot to eat whatever you've touched! Nan He was even more angry.
Only then did Yuan Xiang'er discover Nan He who was following him.
"Why did Xiao Nan come out? His legs are not yet healed. Don't run around." She lifted Nan He to the stone table under the plane tree, and saw Xiao Mao Tuan curled up unhappily and turned his face away, only then did she notice the relationship between him and Xiao Hei. awkward.
"So you want to eat this beef bone? This one has been stewed for too long and has no flavor. After a while, the mistress will use beef soup to make beef noodles, as well as large pieces of beef with sauce. We will eat that together when the time comes."
The furry little wolf snorted from his nose, indicating that he didn't want to eat beef bones at all, but unfortunately the pair of drooping hairy ears had already stood up quickly when they heard this sentence, and they were shaking with joy. Shaking, he revealed his heart without giving face at all.
Yuan Xianger finished feeding the chickens and ducks, patted her apron, washed her hands, and sat down on the edge of the stone table. She took out a stack of yellow talisman paper and a box of vermilion cinnabar, and began to practice drawing talismans. This was her daily homework.
Nan He curiously lay on the table and watched her every move. The white human finger held a brown pen tube, and the fingertips glowed a touch of pink.
The pen was stained with crimson cinnabar, and the pen walked on the yellow paper, and the aura between heaven and earth seemed to swim along with the movement of the bright red line.
The breeze is coming, and the winter sun is warm.
Time passed slowly, the chickens in the yard were cooing, and the sound of the mistress stirring the pot and spoon came from the kitchen,
Yuan Xianger drew very attentively, and the breeze gently tugged up her fine temple hair.
The surroundings became silent at an unknown time.
"Is Mr. Nature at home?"
A woman's voice suddenly sounded beside Yuan Xianger,
Yuan Xianger paused for a moment, causing goosebumps all over her body.
The banshee, who used to be afraid to enter outside the gate, entered the courtyard at some point.
Dressed in brocade clothes and gorgeous makeup, she quietly stood beside Yuan Xianger like that.
