A handful of silver suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Wang Xiaozhuang's eyes suddenly lit up, he sat up from the ground and stared straight at what was in Doctor Yang's hand.

Doctor Yang, thinking of the woodcutter's kindness in taking him in, relaxed a little.

"I'll leave these silver coins to you. When you are released from prison, go home and honor your parents."

At this time, Wang Xiaozhuang realized his mistake and shed tears of regret.

"I will definitely reform myself. Thank you, big brother."

After handing the three people over to the government office, Xiao Ruyu leaned on Doctor Yang's shoulder and looked inside the government office with emotion.

[Master, your action will surely move Wang Xiaozhuang, and he will definitely thank you when he is released in the future.]

【Master is truly a kind and righteous person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters! 】

Doctor Yang was so flattered by her that he couldn't suppress a smile and pressed the tip of her nose.

"You've already learned to flatter at such a young age?"

Xiao Ruyu rubbed his shoulder, deliberately lengthening the ending of the tone.

"No way - Master is the best -"

Eleven, standing aside, looked worried and stared closely at the government office.

【Eleven, what are you thinking about? 】

Seeing that his expression was not right, Xiao Ruyu asked hurriedly.

"No, Eleven just feels that Wang Xiaozhuang will not mend his ways in the future."

Eleven retracted his gaze and spoke quietly.

Xiao Ruyu rolled her eyes and felt that what they had achieved was good enough.

【What happens in the future is no longer our responsibility.】

【Life and death are determined by fate, and everything has its cause and effect. 】

…

After leaving the government office, the three continued on their journey.

Doctor Yang took out the map and frowned.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruyu came over and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

【What is Master looking at? 】

"Master originally wanted to go back to the county where the locusts were first reported to inspect it, but then he realized that it was not on his way."

He was drawing the route on the map when an idea occurred to him, "Why not take a detour? It won't take more than a day."

Xiao Ruyu stretched lazily and didn't take it seriously.

【Master, if you want to go, go ahead. We are not in a hurry. 】

Doctor Yang immediately took the two of them and took a detour to the place.

Along the way, the farmers smiled as they watched the farmland invaded by locusts gradually recover their vitality.

Doctor Yang was very pleased and hurried to the government to inquire about the details.

“Woof woof woof!”

As soon as he stepped into the county town, Xiao Ruyu heard a familiar barking sound.

She looked down and saw that the little black guard dog had recognized her by the smell and was circling excitedly in front of her.

【Little black dog, see you again! 】

Xiao Ruyu smiled and approached him enthusiastically.

The little black dog was also very excited, wagging its tail wildly, and pounced on Xiao Ruyu and rubbed against her legs.

Feeling that the little black dog had something to say to him, Xiao Ruyu quickly used his spiritual power to establish a connection.

"Woman! I didn't expect you to actually come back!"

The little black dog shouted excitedly for the first time, with surprise evident in his words.

【That's natural! 】

Xiao Ruyu touched its head and smiled from ear to ear.

"By the way, last time you said you wanted to find that bad guy, and then the dog thought about it and remembered something."

The little black dog remembered the characteristics of the previous cult leader and quickly told Xiao Ruyu.

This is undoubtedly a big clue!

Xiao Ruyu held its paw and shook it repeatedly.

"Little black dog, you are so loyal! You helped me a lot!"

The little black dog sniffed her hard, with eager eyes.

"And then what?"

Seeing it asking, Xiao Ruyu remembered his promise to it and scratched his head in embarrassment.

[Little black dog, I came in a hurry, I will buy you a big chicken drumstick later, okay? ]

The little black dog was not angry. It rubbed her hand and hummed.

"It's okay woman, the dog will wait for you no matter how long it takes!"

Xiao Ruyu couldn't help feeling touched. She stood up and turned to walk towards Doctor Yang.

[Master, the little black dog has helped us so much, we should thank it. ]

Doctor Yang also thought it made sense and stood up to buy two roast chickens.

"Then wait here, little princess. Master is going to buy two roast chickens. I'll be back soon."

【No, no, no. 】

However, Xiao Ruyu grabbed his sleeve and shook her head slightly.

Seeing Doctor Yang's confusion, she began to explain, "We can't be so perfunctory. How about this?"

She pulled Doctor Yang's sleeve and pulled him down, then whispered something in his ear.

“Is this really okay?”

Doctor Yang was a little hesitant and refused to give in.

"Even if it is sent there, this little black dog may not be able to live a good life."

[Oh, Master, you will be right if you just listen to me. ]

Xiao Ruyu pulled at his clothes, coaxing him in every possible way, and enumerated the little black dog's "feats" one by one.

[There aren't many smart dogs like this anymore. If you send them to the government, they might be able to make a great contribution someday.]

[When the time comes, I will have to trouble Master to give them a few more instructions.]

【Let them treat the little black dog well. 】

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Doctor Yang had no choice but to agree.

"Never mind, it's just a matter of one sentence. You have to ask the little black dog if he is willing first."

Xiao Ruyu blinked and turned to ask the little black dog.

[Little black dog, are you willing to guard the government office? You will get a lot of delicious food! ]

The little black dog's eyes lit up and it hopped back and forth on its four legs.

"Really? Really?! That's great! The dog agrees!"

Xiao Ruyu smiled, turned around and gave further instructions to Doctor Yang.

"Master, don't forget those two roast chickens!"

Doctor Yang: ...

After arriving at the government office, Imperial Physician Yang went straight to see Lu Huaikun.

He has also finished dealing with the matters here and will return to Beijing later.

When he saw Doctor Yang asking about locust control, there was a hint of pride on his face.

"Thanks to Lord Yang's management method, I was able to completely control the locusts in a short period of time!"

"Now that the people are living and working in peace and contentment, it's time for me to go back."

Doctor Yang took a sip of tea and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"In that case, I have another unwelcome request. I'll have to trouble you, Lord Lu."

Seeing him asking for help, Lu Huaikun agreed immediately, "Doctor Yang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Why are you being polite to me?"

Doctor Yang moved the corners of his mouth and tactfully told Lu Huaikun about the little black dog, of course concealing the matter of spiritual power.

"It's such a small matter, but I have to trouble Lord Yang to speak up."

Lu Huaikun's hearty laughter came from inside the house and fell into Xiao Ruyu's ears.

She and Eleven looked at each other and smiled.

[It seems that the master has already done this. Eleven, you can just take the little black dog in.]

The little black dog lay obediently in Eleven's arms and was handed over to Lu Huaikun.

The three of them stayed here for only one day before preparing to set off.

Before leaving, Xiao Ruyu went to the gate of the government office to say goodbye to the little black dog.

She squatted down and touched its head reluctantly.

【Little black dog, I’m leaving again! 】
