There is an open space in the corner of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and there is a row of small houses under the wall, which together form a special dog breeding area.

Yu Qingfeng had never been here before. Madam Ji had indeed led a few of them to visit the Hou Mansion before, but they detoured when they passed by this land not far away. And at that time, they did not hear a single bark of a dog.

At this moment, there seemed to be a group of dogs in the open space. Because they were surrounded by dogs, it was difficult to distinguish how many dogs there were at the time.

"Oh, why are our distinguished guests here? It's dirty and smelly here. You'd better go back."

A servant was using a long stick to try to break up the dogs that were gathered together. When he saw Yu Qingfeng and the others approaching, he hurriedly put down his stick, nodded and bowed over.

"Why are you here? It's not because it's too noisy." Yu Qingfeng complained and then asked, "Why didn't you hear a dog barking before? What's going on?"

"Before, there was only one sick dog left in this kennel. It was alive for a few days and naturally stopped barking. No, the Marquis bought six more hounds. But I didn't expect that these six new dogs would actually go there.

Bully that sick dog."

"So, the ones in the middle of the circle are the sick dogs being beaten?" Yu Qingfeng likes dogs, and of course she doesn't want to hear about injustices in the dog world, "Hurry, separate them quickly!"

Just as the servant was about to pick up the wooden stick just thrown on the ground, another pair of hands beat him to it.

Yu Qingfeng looked in disbelief as Tian Lei, who just needed Lin Ming's support and was swaying step by step, actually picked up the wooden stick and entered the fence.

"Go, go, go away!" Tian Lei waved the wooden stick. Although his words were fierce, his hands were still measured and he did not use force. He just wanted to protect the weak.

"Uncle Tian, ​​be careful!" Yu Qingfeng shouted to Tian Lei, for fear that those ferocious Chinese pastoral dogs would fight back against Tian Lei.

Facts have proved that Yu Qingfeng was overthinking. These big yellow and big black people are very loyal to humans. Even if they are beaten, they will not bar their teeth and all retreat obediently.

"Huh? That's weird, why don't they listen to me?" The servant outside the fence was confused.

Yu Qingfeng's popular science, "Don't you understand this? You are useless outside. You have to go in and have momentum to scare them. Remember, they can feel your momentum, don't be scared."

The servant scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was just sent to take care of these dogs, so I don't understand them well. Previously, Lao Xiao was responsible for raising dogs, but two months ago, he suddenly..."

Yu Qingfeng and Lin Ming's attention was originally on the dog pen, watching Tian Lei squatting down and caressing a skinny rhubarb lying on the ground. Suddenly, they heard the servant stop mid-sentence, and their attention was attracted by the servant.

The servant covered his mouth at this time, widened his eyes, and looked like he regretted saying the wrong thing.

Tian Lei wanted to pick up Dahuang who could no longer stand up, but he was not much better than Dahuang. After exerting force, he staggered and simply fell down next to Dahuang.

Lin Ming couldn't see how pitiful the man and the dog were, so he rushed forward to help, not forgetting to call the servant.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. Give me this dog and take it back to my guest room." Tian Lei struggled to get up, pointed at Da Huang lying on his side on the ground, and gave orders to Lin Ming.

The servant was helping Tian Lei, and when he heard what he said, he was at a loss, "Isn't this appropriate?"

This matter was related to whether Yu Qingfeng's three-day promise to Tian Lei could be fulfilled. She immediately showed off her VIP style and said, "Send it off."

"Ah? The guest room is for people to live in. This dog..."

"Are you sure that the rooms in the Marquis' Mansion are all occupied by people? There is no one who is worse than a pig or a dog?"

When Yu Qingfeng said this, what appeared in her mind was the hateful face of Ji Zongyuan, a domestic violence victim.

"Ah?" The servant was even more confused.

"Do as Uncle Tian said. If someone blames you, just say it was my order and ask him to come to me."

It feels good to say this.

The servant nodded, picked up the dog on the ground, and followed Tian Lei.

Finally, four people and one dog returned to Tian Lei's guest room.

The servant put down the dog and was about to leave. Yu Qingfeng stopped him, "Wait a minute. Do I let you go?"

The servant nodded and bowed, blaming himself all the time, and stood there honestly.

"Let me ask you, looking at the size of the kennel, there should have been at least ten dogs here before, right?"

The servant nodded, "Yes, yes, sometimes there are twenty at most."

"Then why are you so sick now that you only have one?"

"This this……"

"Say." Lin Ming ordered coldly.

"Yes, I don't dare to lie to you. These dogs are fighting dogs bought by the Marquis. Fighting dogs are naturally taken out to fight. If you win, you will come back covered with scars. If you lose, you will naturally not be able to return.

Here we are. However, even if we win, some of them will not last long after they come back. So, this is the only one left. No, the Marquis has bought another batch."

Dog fighting! Extremely cruel! Ji Zongyuan added another crime!

Yu Qingfeng felt itchy with hatred.

After hearing this, Tian Lei picked up the rhubarb on the ground, put his face against his face, sobbed softly, and muttered that they were all suffering.

Lin Ming's anger only lasted for a moment. He quickly calmed down and asked, "What is going on with Lao Xiao that you are talking about?"

The servant subconsciously covered his mouth again.

"Say-" Lin Ming once again showed a threatening attitude.

The servant was frightened again, "Old Xiao, Lao Xiao suddenly committed suicide in this kennel two months ago."

"Suicide? Why? Did the government come?"

"The prefect sent someone over, saying that Lao Xiao committed suicide because he felt sorry for the dead fighting dog. The Marquis didn't let us talk about it. It's not Xiao's intention to hide it, really."

Yu Qingfeng firmly believed that there was something fishy in Lao Xiao's death. It seemed that the work for this business trip was not over yet.

"Lao Xiao's job is to raise fighting dogs. Will he commit suicide because of this?" Lin Ming pointed out the problem sharply.

The servant made a sad face and said, "Young man, I don't know."

Indeed, it would be better to ask the magistrate Hong Zengxian directly to ask this servant.

Tian Lei sat on the ground, holding the weak Rhubarb in his arms, gently stroking the dog's head, and muttered:

"Poor Dahuang, you are watching helplessly as your companions die one by one. The only way you can avoid being dragged into killing each other with your own kind is by not eating or drinking, and becoming so sick."

"Uncle Tian, ​​the three-day deadline has expired. I am willing to admit defeat. I have prepared the Anle Powder and will send you on your way tonight."

Yu Qingfeng was serious and said such fatal words in a gentle and low voice.

Tian Lei pretended not to hear and still stroked the dog's head over and over again.

"After you leave, I will send Dahuang back. Alas, Dahuang, like you, has given up and is ready to fend for itself. Maybe you two are the front and back. If you wait for it on the way to hell, you might still be able to do it.

A companion."

Okay, you pretend not to hear, then I will continue talking until you take the initiative to admit defeat.

Tian Lei pursed his lips and glanced up at Yu Qingfeng.

"Well, we have been going to medical clinics these days, all over Suzhou, first to see a doctor for me, and secondly to ask for medicine. I spent three years of my salary and asked for help.

Your Excellency borrowed your salary for five years to buy such a small amount of Anlesan. The medical clinic has said that once sold, it will not be returned or exchanged."

Tian Lei hugged Dahuang. Dahuang raised his head and stared at Tian Lei with watery eyes full of affection. He made a pitiful whimpering sound in his throat, like a helpless child.

"Oh, I can't make promises easily in the future. We will come over later and send you on your way in person. You should say goodbye to Dahuang first. It looks like it is very reluctant to leave you."

Tian Lei's lips moved and he spoke with difficulty: "Can you let Rhubarb stay here and get some meat for it? I once picked up a yellow dog like this when I was a child. It was also starved to the point of being skinny and bones and dying. Later, it accompanied

It took me fifteen years.”

"Of course, it's only a matter of half a day anyway. If you offer it up..."

"Oops!" Tian Lei suddenly interrupted Yu Qingfeng loudly, "I lost. Isn't it okay if I regret it?"

Yu Qingfeng exited the room with a smile, closed the door, and sent the servants to prepare food for Rhubarb immediately. From now on, she would provide Rhubarb with good food and drink every day.

"It's great. Uncle Tian finally found the hope of living. Dahuang is his close friend who shares the same illness."

Lin Ming was infected by Yu Qingfeng's happiness and complacency, and smiled unconsciously.

Not far away, Lian Shurong came up and saw Yu Qingfeng and Lin Ming smiling, and couldn't help but be curious.

Lin Ming described to Lian Shurong what had just happened.

Lian Shurong couldn't laugh, and said sadly: "Dogs are loyal and sensible, and can indeed be regarded as confidants. But they are not better than relatives. After all, their life span is short, only more than ten years at most. Uncle Tian still has to face another parting."

"

"It doesn't matter, just let Rhubarb give birth to puppies. Then tell Uncle Tian that Rhubarb has entrusted its children to you, and you can't let it go."

Yu Qingfeng's serious remarks sounded like a joke to Lian Shurong.

"Isn't this a delaying tactic? You can't completely change Uncle Tian's mentality and let him live by his own beliefs..."

"It doesn't matter. It's a slow-down strategy. Just take it slow, and a lifetime will pass. That's what life is all about." Yu Qingfeng carelessly expressed her philosophy of life.

Lin Ming and Lian Shurong were both dumbfounded and stared at Yu Qingfeng in disbelief. They couldn't believe that Yu Qingfeng, a maid who could only read and not write a word, was more knowledgeable than the two of them, who had passed the imperial examination and were officials.

Yu Qingfeng realized later that she was afraid and resisted that she really liked Pei Wuyan herself, wasn't she just like Tian Lei?

This is really a fan of the authorities.

Yes, Yu Qingfeng is Tian Lei, and Pei Wuyan is Dahuang. This comparison seems a bit unfair to Pei Wuyan, but he is indeed Dahuang.

Since Yu Qingfeng believes that Tian Lei should not reject Dahuang because his fate with Dahuang is short-lived, and he should not refuse to get together because they will be separated sooner or later, then why should she reject the relationship that is already on the line?

Yes, after the play ended, Yu Qingfeng was indeed not sure where she would end up, but what she was sure of now was that she was really attracted to Pei Wuyan.

Is it because you are afraid of separation that you should reject your inner feelings and kill the budding feelings that have already emerged? This doesn’t seem to be the case.

Moreover, it is hard to control one's feelings. Is this something that Yu Qingfeng can kill by strangling her?
