Zhong Qingyi and the others didn't care what Liu Chengyu and his guards thought. What time was it to be thinking about such things? They should focus on their journey and avoid being attacked by a wild beast. If they were to lose their lives, they would forget about revenge.

Listening to Wang Wen's incessant rambling, Ye Moxun got a headache. He subtly reached into his pocket with his long, slender fingers, thinking that if he kept talking so much, he should sprinkle some silencing powder on him to shut him up.

But just as he was about to take out the powder, his hand was pressed down by a soft hand. He looked up and saw Song Tantan shaking her head in disapproval.

Then, in a breathy voice, he said, "Leave it to me."

With a wave of her hand, all six dogs she brought with her surrounded her. Oh, there were seven dogs in total, including Taishan. Five more stayed in the village to guard the house. Including Qiaoqiao, Weifeng, and their four offspring, there were eleven dogs left to guard the house.

Well, the main purpose is to check the pig farm and protect the villagers. Although Songlin Village is now surrounded by high walls and poisonous weeds and flowers, it is still located deep in the mountains, so we cannot be careless.

Mount Tai always likes to hide; it won't appear unless summoned, making it quite mysterious.

The other dogs were much more obedient. Besides Ye Moxun, they also listened to Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan. Because Ye Moxun doted on Taishan, the other dogs were closer to Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan.

Don't forget, the dogs' mother and grandparents are all being cared for by the Song family.

"What are you doing?" Wang Wen was furious. He was disgusted by the furry creatures and felt a strange sense of fear. Don't tell him that these six were dogs; they were clearly wolf cubs.

"What are you nervous about? Aren't you scared? My dog ​​is here to protect you. Just relax and keep going," Song Tantan said without turning her head.

"With them surrounding me, I... I'm even more scared." He didn't want to admit he was scared, but he couldn't deny it now.

"Shut up if you're scared. Dogs like quiet. If you disturb them, I can't guarantee what they might do." Of course, she was lying to him, but he wouldn't shut up unless she said that.

Ye Moxun looked over with a deep, questioning gaze, as if to say, "Are you implying something about me?"

Song Tantan: "Don't take it personally."

She really didn't mean it that way, but upon closer reflection, what she said just now was indeed easy to misunderstand, since the one who was truly afraid of noise was Ye Moxun, that proud and aloof person.

"Song Tantan, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" Ye Moxun suddenly reached out and pinched her chubby face. She was no longer as chubby as she was when she was a child, but her face was still round and plump, with a delicate and tender texture.

She used to be short, and he was a head taller than her, so he could easily pinch her face with one hand. But later, she became more and more agile and grew taller, so it was no longer easy to pinch her face.

Song Tantan frowned, and, not to be outdone, reached out with both hands, pinching the other person's cheeks and pulling them apart, angrily cursing, "I'll teach you to pinch my cheeks, let's see if you dare to pinch them again, let go or I'll make you crack."

How to split it open? Naturally, by tearing the corner of her mouth open. She has a strong grip, so she can actually do it.

But Ye Moxun knew she wouldn't. She was just making a lot of noise and trying to intimidate him, but she wasn't using much force at all. She wouldn't be willing to hit him hard.

"Let go first, then I'll let go," Ye Moxun bargained.

"You put it down first." Song Tantan glared at him angrily. He was the one who pinched her first, so of course he had to put it down first.

The two continued fighting without delaying their journey. This was clearly not the first time such a scene had occurred. Apart from Liu Chengyu and his group being somewhat surprised, the others simply smiled knowingly and made no attempt to break up the fight.

"Stop arguing, you two. What if you attract wolves?" Guard Wang, who had been silent for a while, couldn't help but speak up again.

"None of your business," Song Tantan replied irritably.

"Shut up." Ye Moxun glanced at him coldly, then casually let go of his hand, staring straight ahead without saying another word.

At the same time, Song Tantan also let go. She rubbed her face, which had been pinched by someone, and pouted unhappily. After the New Year, she would be ten and a half years old. Other people would be looking for partners and getting engaged. She was no longer young.

Although she hadn't decided to jump into marriage so soon, she still cared about her image. How could Ye Moxun pinch her cheek in public? It was too outrageous.

No, I have to teach him a lesson. When he stops eating later, I'll make him eat dry biscuits and nothing else.

We've been feeding him too well, so he's gotten carried away again.

"Host, I have a premonition of something, I don't know if you want to hear it." The system suddenly spoke at this moment, and Ye Moxun thought that danger was about to come, so he reflexively straightened his back.

"Ahem, no, host, don't be nervous. There's no danger for now. It's just that Song Tantan only gives you dry, hard pancakes when she wants to eat, as punishment for pinching her cheek earlier." The system was a little smug. It could even predict such a small thing. Was it getting more and more powerful?

Ye Moxun felt a lump in his throat, but his face remained expressionless. He was genuinely angry, because Song Tantan had a firm grip on this aspect of eating, and he couldn't do anything about it. So even though he was angry, he wouldn't show it to her.

All I can do is tease the system: "Besides figuring out these trivial matters, what other abilities do you have?"

The system: good intentions go unrewarded, what's the point? It's too difficult.

When they stopped to rest and eat at noon, Song Tantan really only handed him a shriveled pancake, and his attitude was very arrogant and irritating, with his face saying "You messed with me, I'm just taking revenge on you."

Having been mentally prepared, Ye Moxun silently accepted the pancake and began to eat it without any resentment.

The expected outburst of anger and arguing did not occur. Song Tantan stared at him suspiciously for a long time, but could not figure out what was wrong with him.

Strange, when did Ye Moxun become so easy to talk to? How could he tolerate eating such unpalatable food? He should be arguing his case and not give up until she was defeated.

When it comes to food, Ye Moxun has always been particular and quite picky.

But no, Song Tantan had almost finished the half roast chicken in her hand, but he didn't come over to beg her. He was so proud, which made her very uncomfortable. What should she do?

To save time and travel further, they didn't cook lunch and just ate dry rations. The others were fine with it, but Ye Moxun was different. He always ate the good stuff that Song Tantan took out from her space, such as stewed soup, bread, milk, and fruit after the meal.

So, apart from cooking dinner at night, he and Song Tantan would hide somewhere out of sight to eat delicious food together. Right now, the two of them are hiding somewhere, but he is eating pancakes that are hard to swallow, while only Song Tantan is eating the good food.

Unlike his usual self, Ye Moxun obediently finished half a pancake and then closed his eyes to rest against the tree trunk. He just waited there, refusing to believe that Song Tantan, that heartless man, was really that cruel.
