It happened to be late autumn when Chang Xiaoqing was connected to Wangyou Valley by his master.

After staying in the secluded valley ignorantly for a while, heavy snow fell one after another, and it was winter.

The weather is cold.Chang Xiaoqing huddled herself in the corner of the kitchen, hiding behind a row of tall and heavy medicine stoves, drowsy.The man who took him into the Valley of Worry always seemed to be in poor health, even in his kitchen, burning coal fires to boil medicine all year round.

It is said that this kind of medicine furnace that is as tall as one person is specially made. In the furnace core that can boil even molten iron, there is a certain kind of strange medicine that is said to be boiled for a year with three flavors of real fire-if this medicine is boiled If not, the owner of Wangyou Valley may soon return with a crane and pass away forever.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chang Xiaoqing.

It's just that when he thinks about it occasionally, he can't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart - if the man who looked very kind and kind really died because of his poor health, he would probably be sent back to the original building. Go to the dead yard.

Chang Xiaoqing didn't like it there, nor did he like the indifferent mother-in-law who raised him up.But when I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be any better to stay in this valley.

In this huge valley, there are not many servants. Even if there are, they are mostly old people with missing arms and legs, or grim faces.Chang Xiaoqing listened to Master's explanation that they were the "old people" who stayed in the Wangyou Valley back then, because they had nowhere to go outside the valley, so they stayed here in the end.

And these "old people" respected their master so much, but when they saw Chang Xiaoqing, their attitudes became weird.

"That's him?"

"Exactly."

……

Chang Xiaoqing knew from her mother-in-law that his father was a very hateful person, but when he arrived in the valley, he finally realized that the father he had never met was probably really a very bad person, so he let him After so many years, even the servants of Wangyou Valley can't help revealing some disgust when they see Chang Xiaoqing's face.

Chang Xiaoqing was an indifferent and sensitive child before, after encountering such situations repeatedly, he became less fond of dealing with people.

The only place where he can feel at ease is by the master's side.But Master's health was getting worse and worse, and the atmosphere in Yanaka gradually became depressed.

Every time Chang Xiaoqing finished practicing the martial arts assigned to him by his master, he would sneak into the kitchen, hide behind the medicine stove and doze off.The heavy medicine stove is not very hot, it feels very warm to the touch, and the pitch-black furnace shell exudes bursts of medicine smell with the heat, and this smell always reminds Chang Xiaoqing of the quiet breath around Master.

And this day is exactly the same as the past.

"Creak—" the wooden door of the kitchen rang, and the two people slowly approached.

These are the two cooks who have been helping in the kitchen all year round. It is said that they were the medicine men who were almost sent to feed snakes, but were finally rescued by the master and lived in Wangyou Valley.They were always very sincere towards Master, and their dislike of Chang Xiaoqing became more and more obvious.

Of course, Chang Xiaoqing still didn't care much about these two people.

Hearing that they had entered the door, Chang Xiaoqing did not take any action, but turned over, put her hands behind her head, and quietly listened to the conversation between the two cooks.

"It's such a cold day, I'm afraid the mountain will be closed soon."

"Isn't it... I have to prepare some goods before closing the mountain. I heard that the Huajiang people have come?"

"Yeah, that's right, the people from Huajiang are here, and they happened to pick some dogs for nourishment..."

……

The world is not peaceful now, and the wild dogs in the fields on the street don’t know if they have dug up the barren hills and graves and eaten dead human flesh, so the world will never eat wild dogs outside.If you want to eat dogs, you have to wait until winter every year, when the dog breeders in the Huajiang area bring their dogs to sell.All the dogs in that area were born with black skin and white feet, and a mass of white hair on their foreheads. They were called "flower dogs".This kind of dog was bred specially for meat. It was born very clumsy and ugly. Whether it is to guard the house or be a small animal for entertainment, it is unsuitable to use, but the meat is delicate, soft and delicious.

What the two people in Wangyougu said at this moment was to go down the mountain to find the Huajiang people to buy some dogs to eat.

Chang Xiaoqing didn't care about the ordinary things in this world, so she turned over again and slowly fell asleep.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, when Chang Xiaoqing sneaked into the kitchen to take a nap as usual, he could hear the noise in the quiet kitchen.He was startled, and looked into the room, and immediately saw more than a dozen flower dogs crowded together in a huge bamboo basket.

Each of the flower dogs was fat and strong, and they were crowded in the bamboo basket and screamed and screamed, but they couldn't even step out of the bamboo basket, so they could only scream.

Chang Xiaoqing was born in a quiet place with few people. Now that she suddenly stepped into the environment of these dogs barking, she only felt her temples throbbing one after another, and she got a headache from the noise of the barking dogs.He was about to leave, when footsteps came from outside the door just in time, obviously the cook arrived much earlier than usual this day.Chang Xiaoqing didn't like to deal with those two people the most on weekdays, but when he heard the footsteps were already at the door, and looked at himself, it was obviously too late to escape from the window, so he subconsciously went to the back of the medicine stove where he used to stay A run.Just when he hid, he saw from the gap that the cooks in the kitchen each held an iron rod and walked in ferociously.

The basket of flowered dogs was still waiting to bark, Chang Xiaoqing watched helplessly as the cook calmly grabbed the neck of a flowered dog from the bamboo basket, raised his other hand, and the black iron rod flew straight It landed on the puppy's head.

"what--"

Chang Xiaoqing heard the puppy's last scream when its head was shattered, it was heart-piercing, it didn't recognize ordinary dog ​​barking, on the contrary, it was more like the extremely painful cry of a person before dying.

"boom……"

When the puppy in their hands drooped down like an empty soft fur bag, the cooks threw the puppy's body on the ground expressionlessly, making a muffled sound, then bent down again, and took it out of the bamboo basket again. Another fluffy, chubby puppy came out, and it was processed according to the law.

After a while, there were piles of bloody flesh and blood under the feet of the two cooks, and the iron bars in their hands were stained black and red with blood.

Chang Xiaoqing was terrified by this scene, her whole body trembled, and her head and vest were covered with cold sweat.

At this time, he suddenly felt a fluffy and warm touch coming from his feet.

Chang Xiaoqing almost screamed in fright, but when she turned her head, she saw behind the medicine stove, and at some point there was a little hairy guest.

It was a typical Huajiang dog: a round belly, limbs so thin that they seemed to be unable to support their weight at all, a black cat with white feet, and a dull white hair on its forehead.

Probably ran out of the bamboo basket accidentally before...

This flower dog was quite different from his ignorant similar ones, perhaps it also sensed the danger, and followed the smell and hid in a dark and quiet corner behind the medicine stove before the cook did it.But it scared Chang Xiaoqing enough, and Chang Xiaoqing obviously scared the dog half to death.

Chang Xiaoqing saw the puppy's mouth open, and was about to yelp, so she stretched out her hand reflexively, rolled the dog's head into her arms, and held the other hand firmly in the little dog's arms. on the dog's mouth.

There was a strong smell of rust in the air, Chang Xiaoqing glanced out from the gap again, only to feel that in a trance, even the fire in the kitchen seemed to have been dyed bright red by dog ​​blood all over the floor.But the two cooks didn't take it seriously. Instead, they rolled up their sleeves, looked at each other and laughed, and explained all the dog meat recipes such as braised barbecue and so on. Then they threw all the dead dogs back into the bamboo basket and carried them out. courtyard gate.

After their figures completely disappeared, Chang Xiaoqing hugged the puppy in his arms and rolled out from behind the medicine stove with a thud.

There were bright blood stains on the kitchen floor, Chang Xiaoqing just glanced at it, and felt her heart beating like a drum, and she was very sick.

He didn't even remember how he climbed over the window sill with that poodle dog that was born to be caught and eaten as meat, and fled back to his room.

Anyway, by the time he realized it, he was already squatting by the bed, tearing up the chicken legs that he secretly hid during lunch bit by bit, and feeding them to the flowery dog.

That dog was really just a flower dog.

Its kind, the group of Huajiang dogs who hadn't taken out the bamboo baskets, were put in the pot and served on the table as early as that night.

Although dog meat is rough, boys always like to eat it.

Ji Wuming and Jin Lingzi even fought each other with chopsticks because of a piece of meat.That night, Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao were probably the only ones in the entire Wangyou Valley who had never eaten a piece of dog meat.

Chang Xiaoqing felt that there might be something wrong with him, and now he is really not welcome in Wangyou Valley, the man who treated him best, his master is seriously ill, and he is only a moment away from going to see the King of Hades at any time .

However, Chang Xiaoqing still couldn't help raising that flowery dog ​​secretly in her room.

To be honest, Chang Xiaoqing has never seen such a stupid dog—it can't even chew a big piece of meat, and its personality is very weird.

It doesn't know how to move, and it doesn't seem to understand human instructions. It even defecates under Chang Xiaoqing's bed every day, and once Chang Xiaoqing is so angry that his face turns pale, it will only look up. , looked at Chang Xiaoqing foolishly with a pair of crystal clear eyes.

"Wang?"

It barked softly.

Even the sound of screaming was still unpleasant and vague, as if there was something wrong with the lungs.

If it is outside, even if it barks like this, no one will show any sympathy to a dog that is used to eat.

But I don't know why, sometimes Xiaoqing looks at it, but always has a feeling of seeing herself.
