The dwarf sniffed and got even angrier: "Disgusting, it smells awful, get out!"
He lifted his foot and kicked the basket far away with two loud thuds, sending several sheep tumbling out.
The dwarf cursed again, then slammed the door shut with a "bang!"
Xuanyuan Batian had just reacted and was about to go back to collect the sheep and baskets when he saw two people striding towards him.
It's the two guards.
The guard was furious. "Who is it? Who is selling items without permission? In Frost and Snow Village, you must obtain a sales license before selling anything. Don't you know that?"
Guard A looked down and said, "Sheep? Are you selling sheep? Selling sheep is forbidden in Frost and Snow Village. Don't you know that?"
Guard B: "Catch him!"
Xuanyuan Batian was taken aback: "You can't sell sheep? Then why are there people selling lamb skewers?"
Guard A: "Can lamb skewers be the same as lamb? Our rule is... we can't sell lamb!"
Guard B: "Catch him!"
Guard A hoisted two baskets onto his back and shouted, "The sheep are confiscated! The people are arrested!"
Guard B took out an iron chain.
Xuanyuan Batian took one look and quickly admitted his mistake: "Brothers, I really didn't know there was such a rule. I... I didn't actually come here to sell sheep..."
Guard A sneered: "No sheep for sale? How about I ask the people at the restaurant? See what they say!"
Xuanyuan Batian was helpless.
He realized that the guards of Frost Snow Village were bandits and tyrants who would rob anything they wanted, using any excuse they could find.
Things like sheep cannot be sold, they need to be confiscated, etc., are all excuses!
Excuse!
What can he do?
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
These few sheep are nothing to him; let's just give them to them.
Xuanyuan Batian suppressed his anger, apologized profusely, and even gave the guards a bag of gold coins before he was able to leave.
Lu Xingchen saw it all clearly from a short distance away.
She suddenly realized that with the guards' unreasonable behavior, if Lu Haoyue and his group didn't bribe them with enough gold coins, they would be arrested in no time.
Fortunately, she had a white jade cane, otherwise, the few gold coins she had would not be enough to deal with these two bullies.
The two bullies came over happily.
One of them was extremely strong and walked very fast, dragging two baskets as if he was dragging light toys.
Guard A: "Thank you, Master. Thanks to your report, we were able to prevent a crime from happening."
Guard B gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Master is truly the most rule-abiding person in recent years."
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly. "Maintaining peace and friendship in Frost Snow Village is everyone's responsibility! Oh, by the way, can I have a lamb?"
Guard A was very generous: "Of course, we can't eat all these sheep at once, so we'll give these two lambs to the master."
Lu Xingchen received two lambs.
The two guards happily led the sheep away, discussing as they went whether to roast the lamb into skewers, braise it, or make lamb soup.
Lu Xingchen put the sheep into the storage backpack and slowly walked back.
On the other side, Xuanyuan Batian returned to his residence dejectedly.
As soon as you enter, you see an old man driving a cart chopping firewood.
Xuanyuan Batian asked in surprise, "Old man, what are you doing?"
The old man driving the cart closed his eyes and said: "Chop wood, chop wood, roast lamb, roast lamb, I really want to have a fresh and tender lamb..."
Xuanyuan Batian: "Old man, do you like eating lamb?"
The old man driving the cart still had his eyes closed: "When can we eat roast lamb again...?"
Xuanyuan Batian suddenly realized that the old man was sleepwalking.
He even dreams about eating lamb. How greedy is he!
The old cart driver said, "If someone could give me a fresh, tender lamb, I would tell him a secret..."
