Chapter 126 Breaking Through the Door
Another guard shook his head, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes: "How could the young master of the Duke's family know the hardships of life? We eat coarse food every day, while he takes the food to feed the dogs."
The shifty-eyed man suddenly burst out laughing: "Look at that dog, it's quite fat."
Another guard immediately understood what he meant: "Wait until that brat leaves, then... hmph."
Qi An'an, who was feeding the dog, squatted at the door. Soon her little hands were red from the cold. She patted the dog's head with her icy paws: "Good boy, Big Yellow, I'm going home now. I'll bring you some more treats in a few days~"
After saying that, Da Huang stuck out its wet tongue and licked Qi An'an's palm, whimpering as if it was reluctant to let Qi An'an leave. Qi An'an clapped her hands, stood up, and waved to Da Huang: "I'm leaving, Da Huang."
Big Yellow peered through the crack in the door as Qi An'an walked further and further away, its dark, round eyes fixed on the spot where Qi An'an had left, seemingly somewhat dejected.
As Qi An'an walked away, the two guards exchanged a glance and walked out of the alley toward the Lin family's courtyard. Smelling the scent, the big yellow dog suddenly stood up and barked.
As the two people drew closer to the door, their expressions clearly hostile, Da Huang slowly backed away, barking wildly.
Hearing the dog barking, Mrs. Hu next door thought someone had come to visit. When she opened her door, she saw two shifty-looking men standing at the Lin family's door. She called out, "Are you looking for Changping? Changping is on patrol today. Why don't you go to the garrison and take a look?"
The guard glanced at Sister Hu but ignored her. Sister Hu rolled her eyes at his rudeness, closed the door, and went back to her own yard, muttering, "What kind of person is he? Does he think he's above everyone else?"
The shifty-eyed guard, hearing the dog barking, cleaved open the lock on the Lin family's door with a single stroke. As soon as the man tried to enter, Da Huang lunged at him, intending to bite him, but was kicked away by another guard. Da Huang rolled around in the yard, whimpering.
"A beast is a beast, it even tried to bite people!"
The shifty-eyed guard stepped forward to pick up Big Yellow: "It's quite plump and strong. This family knows how to raise it. It would probably taste delicious if it were made into a pot, hehe."
As he was about to reach out and grab Da Huang by the scruff of its neck, Da Huang suddenly sprang up and bit the man's wrist hard, its head shaking wildly as it tore at the wound.
The shifty-eyed guard cried out in pain and slashed at Big Yellow with his knife. In one blow, a gash appeared on Big Yellow's soft fur, and bright red blood flowed down its fur. Big Yellow was kicked to the ground and whimpered and howled pitifully.
The guard looked at the deep, bone-revealing wound on his hand and cursed, "Damn beast! It hurts like hell!"
Another person stepped forward and kicked Big Yellow. Big Yellow rolled over, its black eyes fixed on the guard. Its breath grew weaker and weaker as it whimpered and looked towards the door, as if hoping that its master would return soon to drive away the two bad guys.
Hearing Da Huang's mournful cries, Aunt Hu knew something was wrong. She hurriedly put down her work and rushed into the Lin family's courtyard. When she saw the broken lock on the Lin family's house, she knew something was wrong. When she looked into the courtyard, her eyes widened in horror.
What are you doing?
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Hu hurriedly entered the house. At this moment, there was a lot of bright red blood splattered in the Lin family's courtyard, it was unclear whether it was human blood or Dahuang's blood.
The barely breathing Big Yellow was being stepped on by the guards, its soft belly throbbing as it panted heavily. Seeing Sister Hu's earnest whimpers, its round black eyes stared at her, tears streaming down its face, as if the person who would support it in the family had arrived.
"You, you all, do you even know whose yard this is!"
The guard picked up Big Yellow, whose fur was stained with dirt and blood, and glanced at Sister Hu sideways: "Mind your own business."
Sister-in-law Hu was furious: "This is Lin Changping's dog! You, you are simply unbelievable!!"
The shifty-eyed guard sneered, clutching his bleeding wrist: "So what? We are Lord Zhangbo's personal guards, from the capital. Even Prince Qi has to give us some face. Let alone a mere commander, even if we asked him to personally cook this beast and send it to us, he would have to send it!"
As the two were about to leave, Sister-in-law Hu rushed forward to snatch the dying dog, Da Huang. The guard kicked Sister-in-law Hu in the stomach, and she curled up on the ground, her face turning pale with pain. The guard sneered, "I advise you to mind your own business."
As she was about to leave, she ran into Qi An'an, who had turned back after hearing Da Huang's pitiful howl. Qi An'an hurriedly helped Aunt Hu up, asking, "Auntie, are you alright?"
Sister-in-law Hu shook her head and gently pushed Qi An'an: "Go find your sixth brother quickly."
Qi An'an turned her head and saw the guards carrying a blood-soaked, barely alive Da Huang. Her eyes reddened as she rushed forward, shouting, "Don't touch Da Huang! Let go! You're bad guys!"
While trying to snatch the big yellow dog, he punched and kicked the guards. The guards wanted to fight back, but were suddenly pulled back and their heads were shaken by another guard. It's okay for commoners to move, but the son of a fallen nobleman will not have a good outcome if he does.
Just as their eyes met, Qi An'an bit the guard's hand. The guard jolted in pain and kicked Qi An'an in the chest. Qi An'an clutched her chest, unable to speak.
The shifty-eyed guard's eyebrows twitched, and he gestured to another guard: "Let's go first, it's best not to cause a scene."
As they spoke, the two of them hurriedly carried Big Yellow outside. Aunt Hu staggered to her feet and quickly helped Qi An'an, who was lying on the ground, up: "An'an, are you hurt?"
Qi An'an burst into tears: "Auntie, Auntie, Da Huang!! Da Huang!!"
Aunt Hu patted the dust off Qi An'an: "Don't worry, An'an, come on, let's go find your sixth brother and the others."
Qi An'an nodded and got up. Hu's wife pulled her outside. Hu's wife's husband happened to be working for Lin Changning and knew where Lin Changning was at this time.
Two guards carried Big Yellow towards the garrison. The shifty-eyed one frowned and said, "Why did you lay a hand on that brat? His brother is the heir apparent. Be careful he comes back to cause trouble for you."
Another guard curled his lip: "What could possibly happen from just one kick? Besides, didn't you also chop down that little commander's dog?"
The shifty-eyed man sneered, "Can you compare them? That Lin fellow is under our command, but he has no connections. He's just a dog. How can we find him? Do you think he'd kill me for a dog? The nature of the matter is different. You shouldn't have attacked the children of the Yun Gui family. Not to mention the Qi heir, even the Duke of Qi wouldn't let you off if he found out. Do you really think Commander Zhang can protect you?"
The guard paused, "Then what do we do?"
The shifty-eyed guy shrugged: "They won't be back for a while today. When they do, they should just stay out of the way. Let's go back and deal with the dog first. It's been half a month since I've had any meat, I'm starving."
