Chapter 53 Master 3
◎Yes, I am a wild dog◎
Yan Yue felt that Bai Chen must be a fox demon.
Because it is said that fox spirits are the best at bewitching people, otherwise, how could Chu Zhi be bewitched at first sight?
Master’s wife?
Are you kidding?
Who will tell stories in the store from now on?
Wouldn’t that mean the teahouse’s business is over?
“Ding!” “Ding!” “Ding!”
The hammer in her hand hit harder and harder each time, and Bai Chen's heart and lungs trembled as he heard it. He felt as if she was venting her anger. He was originally meditating in the house, but the noise made him unable to sit still, so he ran out of the house.
"You don't want to practice, but you've been fussing around here all morning. What are you doing?"
A few strands of Yan Yue's hair hung down, scratching her forehead. She raised her hand and rubbed it with the back of her hand, pointed under the door and said, "Seal the gap in the door to prevent the dog from running out again."
Bai Chen coughed lightly and sighed helplessly, "Okay!"
Yan Yue finally filled the gap under the gate, but due to lack of experience, the added wooden board scratched the ground. She had no choice but to go to the carpenter's house on the next street to borrow a file, and then she lay on the ground and started grinding.
After Bai Chen finished his lunch, he took a futon to the yard. Yan Yue thought he came to help, but unexpectedly he sat down on the cushion and continued to meditate, with no intention of paying any attention to her!
Her hands were so tired that she could hardly hold the file anymore. Finally, she couldn't help but ask angrily, "How dare you just sit there? I'm your apprentice, why don't you come and help me?"
Bai Chen raised his eyelids: "Oh, you finally remembered to ask for help from your master?"
Yan Yue said angrily: "Master, you are a fool! You eat a lot, but you don't work hard at all! What use do I have for you? My Xiaobai can even make me happy!"
Bai Chen snorted coldly, stood up, stretched out his two index fingers and waved at the wooden board under the door!
The strong wind seemed to become real and directly cut the newly added wooden board in half. He glanced at Yan Yue proudly, his face full of: Have you seen how powerful your master is?
Unexpectedly, Yan Yue was surprised at first, then stunned, and turned angry after a moment: "You cut too much! I nailed it with great difficulty! You pay for it!"
Bai Chen never thought in his life that he would become a coolie.
It was obvious that the gap was only a little over two inches and it was impossible to get out, but Yan Yue insisted on patching another one. Bai Chen could only cut the cut wooden board into two pieces again and fill the gap.
After the repair, the door was only a finger's width away from the ground. Bai Chen said helplessly: "Now even a weasel can't get out."
Yan Yue lay on the ground and checked again. Finally, he felt relieved. He stood up, patted the dirt off his body and said, "It's done!"
Just as Bai Chen was about to start practicing, he heard her say, "Let's go buy some toys for Xiaobai? It always runs outside, it must be because it's too boring at home!"
They bought several kinds of balls, sandbags, shuttlecocks, and feather dusters, and then went to the butcher's shop to buy large bones from the butcher!
Bai Chen's hands were full of things, and it was difficult to stop him with just his mouth. He watched Yan Yue pick out several pig and sheep bones of different sizes and thicknesses! She even made an order to have some beef bones delivered to the teahouse when they were available!
It’s almost the winter solstice, and it’s getting dark earlier and earlier.
When the two came back after shopping, the setting sun was like a salted egg yolk, casting a warm yellow light.
Yan Yue played football and sandbags with Dahei for a while, and Dahei liked them very much. But it was old and got tired after playing for a while, so it picked up the big bone and started chewing it with relish.
Yan Yue was playing with Dahei and at the same time looking forward to Xiaobai's joy when she saw these things. She completely ignored Bai Chen's increasingly darker face and didn't even stand up to see him off when he said goodbye.
Bai Chen did nothing serious the whole day, but he actually followed her to buy himself some dog bones. This was simply the biggest shame in a wolf's life!
So when Xiaobai returned to the yard, he stuck out his neck proudly and even stopped wagging his tail to please others.
Yan Yue scolded him again, then excitedly took out the toys and wanted to play with him for a while. He turned his head away, firmly resisting those dog toys. Yan Yue took a sheep bone to tease him again, and he was so angry that he turned around and bit her!
When Yan Yue woke up early the next day, she yelled again, and Zhou Lin was so scared that he almost rushed out of the dark back room!
"Why is Xiaobai missing again?"
As soon as Bai Chen turned back into the alley, he saw Chu Zhi standing at the door, looking expectantly. Yan Yue, with a depressed expression, brushed past her and ran out.
"Where are you going?"
Bai Chen turned around and chased Yan Yue, completely ignoring Chu Zhi, who was waiting at the door and dressed up carefully.
Yan Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Buy a dog chain!"
That night, Xiaobai was put on a dog leash, looking as if he had lost all hope in life. No matter how Yan Yue combed its hair or teased it, it was too lazy to pay attention.
It's early morning again.
Yan Yue held the intact but empty dog chain and howled to the sky: "Damn Xiaobai! I will beat you to death!"
Bai Chen rubbed the hairs on his arms outside the door and pushed it open.
Yan Yue's face was filled with bitterness and hatred, and she said fiercely: "I want to find a carpenter to make a cage! No, find a blacksmith! Make an iron cage! The kind without any gaps!"
Bai Chen gasped: "Isn't that just an iron coffin?"
He tried his best to persuade her, and with Chu Zhi also following his wishes and trying her best to persuade her, she finally dissuaded Yan Yue from the idea of fighting the "Iron Coffin".
Chu Zhi repeatedly invited Bai Chen to go to the teahouse. Bai Chen thought that instead of letting Yan Yue stay at home thinking about something weird, it would be better to let her go to the teahouse to distract her attention.
Seeing that Bai Chen wanted to be with Yan Yue, Chu Zhi pulled and dragged Yan Yue out of the house.
Yan Yue was full of self-doubt all day long.
"Did I do something wrong? That's why Xiaobai always wants to go out?"
"Does it not like me anymore? Does it not want to stay around me?"
“What if one day, it never wants to come back?”
Bai Chen felt more and more guilty as she muttered. He could only grit his teeth and belittle himself cruelly: "Is it possible that he is a stray dog..."
"Don't talk about my Xiaobai!" Yan Yue retorted angrily: "Xiaobai has a family! And me! It's not a stray dog!"
"Okay, okay, it's not a stray dog..."
Bai Chen begged for mercy again and again, and then patiently explained: "What I mean is that he grew up in the wild and is used to being free. It's good for him to go out during the day and go home at night, isn't it?"
Seeing Yan Yue remained silent and seemed to have heard it, Bai Chen added: "You care about him so much and take good care of him, he will definitely not be willing to leave you."
Yan Yue's mood finally improved, and Bai Chen took the opportunity to teach her some basic principles of martial arts.
Seeing Nan Qing staring upstairs from time to time, Chu Zhi hurriedly said, "Sister Nan Qing, Mr. Bai has my eyes on me first, you can't snatch him from me!"
Nan Qing rolled her eyes at her, "I just find it strange, where did the Dong family get a master out of nowhere? Why haven't I heard her mention it before? And..." Her eyes fell back upstairs, "I always have a strange feeling about this person..."
Chu Zhi immediately urged, "You want to know, isn't it simple? Let's invite Mr. Bai to have lunch today. If you have any questions, why don't you just ask him directly?"
Yan Yue was feeling drowsy after listening to Bai Chen talking about the usage and essentials of different weapons. But when she heard Chu Zhi say that they were going to eat, she immediately became alert.
At the dinner table, Chu Zhi couldn't wait to inquire about Bai Chen's background and asked if he was married.
Bai Chen said half-truthfully that he was from the Far North, came here to do business, and was not married.
Nan Qing started to ask about how he and Yan Yue met. Bai Chen said, "She rolled down the hillside and fell in front of me, so I saved her out of kindness. I wanted to keep her by my side, but some misunderstandings arose."
"What misunderstanding?" Nan Qing asked.
Bai Chen glanced outside the door. Yan Yue, who had just gone out to relieve herself, had not returned yet. He said perfunctorily, "Nothing. The misunderstanding has been resolved now."
Nan Qing narrowed his eyes: "Are you a demon?"
Chu Zhi froze with a look of infatuation on her face, then her color changed and she suddenly jumped up, holding a chopstick in each hand and using them as weapons to protect herself! She squinted her eyes at Nan Qing and asked in a tearful voice, "Another demon? Why are there so many demons in this world..."
Nan Qing also nervously grasped the dagger in his sleeve and asked, "What is your purpose?"
Bai Chen could see that she was on guard, but he sneered, "Put away your little knife that you use to tickle people! If I wanted to hurt someone, you wouldn't even have a chance to call for help."
Chu Zhi was even more frightened: "Then, what do you want to do..."
Bai Chen said helplessly: "I just want her to have some ability to protect herself."
Nan Qing stared at him for a while and motioned to Chu Zhi: "Sit down!"
Chu Zhi just sat down when Bai Chen stood up, scaring her so much that she jumped up again, "You, you, you, what are you doing?"
Bai Chen was already used to her being startled, so he said, "I'll go see her, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Robe disappeared outside the door, and Chu Zhi slumped back into his chair. "Will he really not harm our boss? Didn't that rabbit demon pretend to be good at first, and then reveal his true face?"
Nan Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't tell his depth at all. It will be bad for us if we anger him. Let's maintain the surface peace first! Wait until Qi Zhaoyang comes and let him see what happens."
Seeing Chu Zhi still feeling frightened, Nan Qing laughed at her: "Isn't he the one you like? Why don't you like him now?"
Chu Zhi patted her chest in fear: "The last one was a rabbit demon, and here comes another demon! I will never like a handsome young man again!"
Bai Chen walked around the restaurant lobby and didn't see Yan Yueren, but he heard her voice as if outside the door.
Sure enough, she came up to a few women with a few strings of candied haws in her hands and asked them questions in confusion.
"She is a wealthy lady after all, so why is no one doing anything about her?"
"Who cares? The first two sons were left by the original wife. Now they are almost old enough to start a family and career. They don't have to look at her face anymore! She gave birth to the other two. The elder one is just six years old. He has been spoiled by her and is lawless. He is a little rascal! How can he know how to care for others? The younger one is only one year old."
Yan Yue sighed, "No wonder she's going crazy. Another woman came to her son's first birthday party with a child in her arms. Doesn't that mean that while she was pregnant and suffering, her husband was having sex with someone else and had a child?"
The woman said, "Isn't it because she was pregnant and couldn't take care of herself that her husband took the opportunity to go out and have an affair? The two children are less than eight months apart, do the math!"
Yan Yue scolded, "That old bastard is a piece of shit! His wife went through so much hardship to give birth to their son after ten months of pregnancy, and the first birthday party caused such a big scandal. His wife just said a few words and he wanted to divorce her in public! He really drives me crazy!"
The other woman sneered and explained: "You don't know, these——"
"It's all retribution!"
