Chapter 220: Under the Market

 Looking at the human skull that was picked up by the steamed bun on the ground, Li Huowang immediately reacted. The other bone that the steamed bun had picked up before must also be a human bone.

"Has the steamed bun been fed with my human skin and started to like eating people?"

Li Huowang, who felt very regretful, looked at the steamed bun sitting there with a very ugly face.

"Ugh?" Seeing that his master didn't respond at all, the confused Mantou tilted his head, and once again used his black nose to nudge the skull towards Li Huowang's feet.

Li Huowang reached out and touched the bun's head over and over again.

"Brush!" Li Huowang raised a dagger and quickly cut off a small piece of flesh from his body and threw it in front of the steamed bun.

Immediately afterwards, Li Huowang held up the bloody dagger and kept aiming it at Mantou's neck.

As long as the dog shows any signs of being attracted to the meat, it will be stabbed instantly.

Although he and the dog have developed feelings after spending time together, it is absolutely impossible to keep a dog that loves human flesh by his side, not only for himself but also for other people.

When he saw that the steamed bun with his tongue hanging out was still immersed in his touch and was not attracted by the piece of flesh, Li Huowang slowly put away the dagger.

Steamed Bun has not turned into a mad dog that likes to eat people, he just likes to go around grabbing things to please himself.

Steamed buns are just beasts, and there is obviously a person who is more suspicious than him.

It was obviously human bones, but Sun Baolu said they were horse bones. This is obviously problematic.

"Why did that kid lie to me?" Li Huowang frowned gradually. Now any contact they have with the Qingqiu people is through the hands of that kid. If he really has a problem, it will be a big problem.

"Senior Brother Li, what's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Are you feeling a little bored? If you feel a little bored, let's go back." Bai Lingmiao, who felt something was wrong in the atmosphere, said empathetically.

"No, it's just that the steamed bun just came over with a donkey's hoof in its mouth. It's right in front of you. If you don't believe it, you can touch its head."

When Bai Lingmiao touched the familiar head of the steamed bun, a smile appeared on her face again. "It turns out it is really a steamed bun. I found that it likes to hold things back in its mouth recently. I don't know where it learned it.



When he saw the steamed bun trying to lick Bai Lingmiao's hand with his tongue, Li Huowang pulled Bai Lingmiao's hand away.

"This is indeed a bad habit. The steamed buns are gone, let's continue shopping." Li Huowang kicked the half of the skull away and said to the girl next to him.

This small episode did not interrupt Li Huowang's interest in taking Bai Lingmiao to play. They continued to stroll around the entire market.

He will be on his way tomorrow, and he cannot disturb Bai Lingmiao's good mood because of some insignificant things.

As for the suspicion towards Sun Baolu, they are also hidden.

In order to prevent Bai Lingmiao from peeking at those frightening things, Li Huowang took Bai Lingmiao as far away from those places as possible. However, because of this, the two of them had very limited walking routes throughout the market.

Later, many people in Qingqiu watched the lame man and the blind man walking around the same place in the market over and over again, but the words in the lame man's mouth were always different.

Under Li Huowang's vivid description, Bai Lingmiao saw a market that was far more interesting than reality without eyes.

The two of them walked around all day long. As the sun gradually set, the sky became darker and the temperature began to get colder.

"Miaomiao, it's getting dark, it's almost time for us to go back." Li Huowang reached out and took off the ribbon on Bai Lingmiao's face.

Bai Lingmiao blinked her long white eyelashes and looked around with some expectation, but she was disappointed to find that none of the vivid and wonderful things Li Huowang said.

"It's getting dark, and it's normal for others to close their stalls, so let's go back." Li Huowang explained gently to his side.

Bai Lingmiao looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, forget it, let's go. Today is really interesting."

Seeing the smile on Bai Lingmiao's face, Li Huowang felt a little distressed. Is this enough?

"Senior Brother Li, look at the steamed buns following us."

Li Huowang saw Bai Lingmiao scratching the chin of the steamed bun and said: "Stop touching it, the dog is very dirty."

"No, the steamed bun is very clean. Every time there is a river, he jumps in to wash himself."

Looking at Bai Lingmiao, who knew nothing, and Steamed Bun, who also knew nothing, Li Huowang finally said nothing and limped back on crutches.

Seeing this, Bai Lingmiao quickly put down the steamed buns, helped Li Huowang up again, leaned on him, and helped him share part of the weight.

"Wang!" Steamed Bun barked, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail, circling around Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao.

The quiet atmosphere did not last long. Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao soon saw a familiar face on the deserted street, that was Sun Baolu, who was driving dozens of sheep.

When he saw Li Huowang, he was obviously very happy and rushed towards him with his sheep.

"Senior Brother Li, look at how strong these sheep are! It took me a whole day to pick out such good sheep."

"By the way, Senior Sister Bai, this is the money I have left over from buying sheep."

Li Huowang took another look at Sun Baolu, who still found nothing unusual, and said calmly, pretending not to find anything, "In that case, drive the sheep back, and we can hit the road tomorrow. Go faster, and you can go faster too."

Reunite with your family."

"Hmm!!" Sun Baolu didn't notice that something was wrong with Li Huowang's expression, so he turned around and started to herd the sheep.

There was nothing to say along the way. When he arrived at the tent inn, Sun Baolu took the time to drive the sheep to the oxcart seriously.

He boasted to Zhao Wu who was looking at the car, how well he picked the sheep, and how he bargained for the lowest price.

"Old Sun, aren't we just about to get home? How successful is this?" Zhao Wu, who was eating a yellow pancake, looked at Sun Baolu in surprise. In his impression, he was not like this.

"I'm really confused. You're different from us. There's nothing wrong with you. So why does the maniac want to arrest you?"

Sun Baolu's expression froze, and he pulled his sleeves closer, "There is no reason for the leper to arrest people. The sheep are all here. Just count them. This is what we will eat in the future. Be careful."

With Zhao Wu's full agreement, Sun Baolu turned around and left the carriage and walked towards his residence.

Just when he couldn't help but have a smile on his face and began to think about meeting his family again after so many days, his brisk pace suddenly stopped.

Sun Baolu looked at Li Huowang in front of him, with his back leaning against a wooden pillar. There was something wrong with the way the other person looked at him.
