It was already 7 p.m. when I got home. I thought everyone would be eating by then, but they weren't eating; they were chatting instead.
After a flurry of activity, it was no surprise that the meal didn't finish until nearly ten o'clock. Everyone looked exhausted and went back to their rooms to rest, and soon the lights in the house were turned off.
Qiao Xiaoni lay on her small kang (heated brick bed), recalling the events of the day. Her mouth felt sweet as honey, and she quickly fell asleep after covering herself with the quilt.
In the town.
After the husky, also known as the wolf king, finished eating, he started thinking about the wives he had taken to the mountain. One of them was already pregnant when he left, but he didn't know if she had given birth yet. He also wondered if any of the pups would amount to anything.
It lived for nearly three hundred years, which is well past the normal lifespan of a wolf.
Thinking back carefully, it was probably because by chance that it ate an egg. The surface was golden, and it was a bit larger than a goose egg. At that time, it had just fought with a tiger.
When it was at its weakest, it happened to encounter the golden egg, so you can imagine what it would do.
After eating it, it fell into a deep sleep. When it woke up again, several days had passed. All its wounds had healed, and it was twice the size it had been before, and its movement speed had also increased significantly.
What's most special about it are its teeth; with just a gentle bite, it can break even the toughest objects.
Footsteps approached in the distance. I looked up and saw it was that wicked man next door. I'd heard from the Qiao family these past few days that he was both evil and cunning.
He didn't go back inside to sleep today. There was no moon in the sky; it lay in the shadows in the corner of the wall, so dark that you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely.
Xiao Deshun was drunk and confused. Thinking about what had happened before, he wanted to slap himself twice.
Not only did he lose all the money in his pocket, but he also gave out the IOU, and the group of people kicked him out.
They even stole my watch; it's outrageous!
He wanted to go back and argue, but was afraid of getting beaten up. Passing by someone's backyard, he saw a bottle of liquor on the table. Without thinking, he jumped into the yard and stole the liquor, drinking it as he walked.
After finishing the bottle of wine, his mind became increasingly clouded. Thinking about his recent misfortunes, all stemming from the shop next door, his resentment grew stronger.
The door was tightly shut, but a smile crept onto his lips. The brat living inside had finally given in. He'd finally locked himself in for bed; usually, he'd leave the light on. Now it was pitch black, clearly he was asleep.
If a fire is set now, the people inside will definitely not be able to escape. The shop will be destroyed, and they won't be able to do business anymore. What's there to be proud of then?
Thinking of this, he went to the woodpile at the foot of the wall and moved the firewood to the doorway.
The husky wolf king found this person strange. He moved a pile of wood and put it at the door. What was he planning to do?
The firewood piled up by the door was almost finished, so Xiao Deshun went to the corner of the wall, took out the tools for starting the fire, and stumbled back.
The fire was quickly lit, and the raging flames illuminated the surrounding area.
The wolf king husky finally understood what was going on. It barked twice at the house and then pounced on the culprit.
Xiao Deshun fell directly to the ground, his chest scratched, looking at the big dog lying on top of him.
The dog usually sleeps indoors, so why wasn't it inside today? It was about to bite me, so I quickly blocked it with my arm, and blood gushed out instantly. I was in excruciating pain.
