"Hey, where did this little puppy come from? Go, go, go! Don't come over!"
The coachman and Shi Feng were taking turns keeping watch tonight. When they heard the barking of the dog, they turned around and threw stones in the direction, trying to drive away the puppy that suddenly appeared.
Shi Feng was drowsy nearby, but when he heard the movement, his body trembled suddenly and he was woken up! "Ouch, what is going on? Is someone here?"
The place where they stayed for the night was next to the mountain road. Ahead, there was a deep mountain. In addition to wild beasts, there were also bandits.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no place to rest nearby, Su Liuye and the others wouldn't want to sleep here.
"There's a little puppy that ran out of nowhere. Go, go, don't come here!" the coachman said, trying to drive the puppy away.
But the puppy seemed to be hungry, and kept wagging its tail, "woof, woof, woof" and ran towards the firewood on Shi Feng's side. There was half a roast chicken there, which Shi Feng had just cooked.
He bought the chickens when he left Sanxi Town. He bought four chickens in total and prepared them on the way. They were marinated all night and were delicious when grilled.
Su Liuye and Qin Lian ate most of the chicken each, and the driver and Shi Feng ate the rest. They kept the smaller half to eat tomorrow, so they kept it next to the firewood to warm. They didn't expect to put this The puppy was attracted.
"Hey, brother, slow down, I still have a few pieces of meat, let's give it to this puppy!"
After Shi Feng saw the puppy clearly on the other side of the grass, he suddenly became interested. After stopping the groom, he picked up a few pieces of leftover meat from the ground and fed it to the puppy.
The puppy smelled the meat and ran over happily wagging its tail.
Su Liuye opened the curtain and looked at it. When she saw such a scene, she smiled and wanted to put the curtain down to prevent the night wind from blowing in and waking Qin Lian.
But at this moment, Shi Feng over there said "Hey" and reached out to grab the puppy, "Why is this bastard wearing a jade pendant? He still looks good!"
"What?"
The driver came over, took a look, and exclaimed, "Oh, it's really a jade pendant! It's tied with gold thread, right?" As he said that, he tried to get the thing from the puppy's neck.
Shi Feng quickly took the dog aside and turned back to glare at the driver, "This is mine!"
Shi Feng was already tall, and because he worked in the kitchen all day long, he had a strong build, especially since he always carried a kitchen knife around his waist.
When killing the chickens just now, Shi Feng cut off the necks of four chickens without blinking an eye.
The driver glanced at the kitchen knife at his waist, swallowed, and sat beside him, not daring to speak anymore.
Shi Feng looked at the thing on the puppy's neck. After thinking about it, he didn't know what it was. He was not interested in it either, so he simply gave the puppy to Fang Cai and watched it wagging its tail with satisfaction, humming. He ate all the pieces of meat on the floor.
Seeing this, Su Liuye couldn't sit still, so she opened the curtain and went down, "Shi Feng, let me see the jade pendant on the puppy."
"Shopkeeper, are you still awake?" Shi Feng was a little surprised when he saw her coming down, and then took off the jade pendant from the puppy's neck.
The jade pendant was taken off, but the puppy showed no reaction at all.
It looks like this thing does not belong to this puppy.
Su Liuye's eyes darkened and she took the jade pendant.
This jade pendant is exquisitely carved, with a lifelike auspicious dragon engraved on it. Putting the jade pendant on the palm of your hand, it feels gentle to the touch and has a clear green color.
She thought for a moment and compared the jade pendant given to her by a senior executive. The quality was not as good as the one hanging around the puppy's neck.
"This is……"
She frowned and suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked Shi Feng, "Shi Feng, did you just see where this puppy came from?"
"It's over there."
Shi Feng pointed in the direction and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, did something happen?"
She glanced at the coachman sitting over there, thought for a moment, and said directly, "Look, the jade pendant on this puppy is of very good quality. It's top grade at first glance. How could such a precious thing appear here for no reason? On a puppy?”
"If I'm not wrong, the missing child of wealthy businessman Liu in Sanxi Town is near here. This jade plaque must have been specially worn by the little prince on the puppy."
"Really?"
Shi Feng's eyes widened. He was a little curious after hearing what happened in Sanxi Town, but he didn't expect that they would meet at night.
He looked at the jade pendant in Su Liuye's hand again. Although he didn't understand jade, such a clear jade pendant was definitely not ordinary.
Su Liuye thought about it, then 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, there are many!"
The coachman had been listening nearby for a long time. Hearing that Su Liuye had no intention of hiding anything from him, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Madam, let me tell you, this mountain is called Tieniushan, and there is a nest of bandits on it. I want to say that the owner If so, there’s plenty of room up there!”
Old man Liu often drives his carriage through this area, so he is naturally very familiar with it.
"Bandits' den?" Su Liuye frowned.
"That's right!" Old Man Liu nodded solemnly, "The leader of the bandit is called Zhang Tieniu, and he has been here for decades. How do you think? Madam, have you found the little prince?" Old Man Liu followed the voice. He asked, his eyes gleaming.
Su Liuye was not sure at the moment, but just shook her head, "I don't know, but if there are so many places to hide people on the mountain, it would be strange for the little prince to be hidden on the mountain. This puppy may be used by the little prince to deliver messages. of."
Otherwise, how could an ordinary puppy wear such an expensive jade pendant?
Even the jade pendant given to her by the royal family's executive family couldn't compare.
In the capital, jade pendants symbolize status.
When Old Man Liu heard what she said, he was stunned for a moment, but he still said excitedly, "Little lady, how about this? We take the jade pendant to Liu Fushang's house, and maybe we can get a reward. If we can find the little prince, The best!”
"I see that none of you are from Sanxi Town. Maybe you don't know that Liu Fushang's sister is the royal concubine in the palace!"
"Honored Concubine?!" Su Liuye took a breath, this was the most distinguished person she had ever heard of.
"Yes! My news is absolutely correct." Old Man Liu said, "My cousin is the roommate of the nephew of the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion! If you ask around about these things in town, you will know whether I am lying or not. "
Su Liuye was a little embarrassed by his relationship, but no matter what, Old Man Liu still knew a lot of information. Telling them this was just to get a piece of the pie.
But she never thought of hiding it from Old Man Liu from the beginning. It was in the wilderness here. If Old Man Liu became jealous, they would all end badly.
