The afterglow of dusk shone on my body, still feeling warm.
Zhou Wenxiu and Jiang Ming were walking side by side and suddenly said:
"Sister Qingqing has changed a lot from before..."
"The more you experience, the more you change."
As Jiang Ming spoke, he also recalled the winter of that year, when he first met Li Qingqing. She was still an enthusiastic and cheerful carpenter's daughter. After not seeing her for four or five years... she had become a quiet and reserved woman.
Three years ago, the Shi family was destroyed. A few months later, Li Qingqing came back with his infant daughter and moved into the courtyard next door.
But the skilled and helpful old Li Tou did not come back, nor did Li Qingqing's husband, leaving only the mother and daughter dependent on each other.
It’s hard to leave my hometown, but things have changed and people have changed...
"After a hundred years, how many friends will be left who are drinking and chatting happily..."
Jiang Ming's courtyard was a bit far from the main street. They took a shortcut and turned down some dark alleys, which frightened Tian An'an so much that Jiang Ming's hair almost fell out. Only then did they see the lights of the night market in the distance.
This was the time when the stall was just opening. Hot smoke was flowing everywhere, and all kinds of aromas were blowing towards your face, making people's index fingers tickle.
Jiang Ming found the rice noodle stall, put down the little thing with claws on his shoulders, pressed it on the bench beside him, and then greeted the boss:
"Two big bowls of noodles, just throw whatever ingredients you have in there!"
Zhou Wenxiu rolled her eyes at him: "Isn't it a shame..."
Jiang Ming laughed. After a while, he waited for the rice noodles to come up and filled Tian Anan's small bowl with a full bowl. The two started competing to see who could eat it faster...
Finally, before leaving, Tian Anan filled another wooden bowl and carefully covered it with her hands, preparing to give it to her mother to taste.
"The bowl is full of your smelly saliva, it's not clean..." Jiang Ming glanced at it and said.
"Brother Jiang Ming is so stupid...how can the washed dishes not be clean?" Tian Anan looked at him in surprise.
"Who saw you cheating?"
Tian Anan puffed up his chest and argued: "I licked and brushed it with my tongue... If you don't believe me, ask Sister Wenxiu!"
Jiang Ming: "..."
Zhou Wenxiu: "..."
The night market gradually became lively, and the three of them strolled around for a while, ate some snacks such as roasted potatoes, and then slowly walked back home with their bellies full.
On the way back, they still took a shortcut, and in the dead of night, no one was seen on the road... Jiang Ming suddenly saw a black dog with a bald tail, running along the roadside.
The black dog is very large, with strong muscles faintly visible under its black fur, like a majestic calf.
Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed and he handed Tian An'an to Zhou Wenxiu for her to hold.
Jiang Mingze stared at the black dog with shocked eyes: "A dog that knows martial arts?"
For three years, he continued to drink Qingshen Decoction, and now his super-sense can last almost as long as a cup of tea every day. Even if he does not use his super-sense on weekdays, he still has a keen sense of the surrounding qi, and can even vaguely sense it.
The realm of a warrior.
This is why, when he saw the man in a bamboo hat buying beast-control medicinal materials in the drug store, Jiang Ming didn't panic at all, because the other man's level was only around third-rate, and Jiang Ming was not afraid at all.
The black dog in front of him actually exuded strong blood energy, and in Jiang Ming's eyes, it was as conspicuous as a bright light in the dark night.
"This... must be about the level of a third-rate warrior, right?"
Can even dogs practice martial arts these days?
While Jiang Ming was staring at the black dog, the other party was also staring at Jiang Ming, seemingly sensing the dangerous aura of this human being.
"Woof!" the black dog barked, then... turned around and ran away.
"You can escape..." There was no one else nearby, so Jiang Ming rushed forward with a single stride, and punched the black dog on the forehead with an expressionless face.
There is a black dog who knows martial arts at the door of our house. What's the deal with him? Let's beat him to death first.
Boom!
There was a muffled sound, and the black dog screamed and flew upside down. He fell to the edge of the field, shook his head, and got up again.
"Huh?" Jiang Ming's eyes were surprised. Although he held back his punch, there was absolutely no problem in beating a third-rate warrior to death. This black dog's skin was not even broken?
"There's something about this dog..." Jiang Ming suddenly didn't want to let the dog die, and looked at the black dog with kind eyes.
Let's sit down and talk about something. Isn't it necessary to fight to the death...
But when the black dog saw Jiang Ming's "kind" gaze, his hair stood on end, he was so frightened that he scratched his limbs, turned around and ran away...
However, as soon as it took two steps, Jiang Ming grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up.
"Ouch~" The black dog still wanted to struggle.
Boom~
Jiang Ming knocked it unconscious with one punch and dragged it all the way home. Soon it reached the door of the house.
Tian Anan stood at the door of his house with Xiaowan in his arms, staring at the black dog reluctantly, and mustered up the courage to say: "Brother Jiang Ming, do you want to eat this dog?"
Jiang Ming looked at her: "Do you want to eat too?"
"No, no, no, the dog is so cute, I won't eat it!" Tian Anan was shocked, shook his head and ran back home.
Then, a little head popped out again: "Brother Jiang Ming can't secretly eat dog meat..."
"Can you teach me something better?" Li Qingqing stood up with his hands on his hips, gave Jiang Ming a fierce look, and carried Tian An'an home like a chicken.
Jiang Ming's head was full of black lines, what the hell does it have to do with me... He shook his head, dragged the big black dog back to his house, and dropped it on the ground.
boom!
The black dog hit the ground, and he woke up slowly, his eyes moving around, looking for opportunities to escape.
Jiang Mingze pondered for a moment and suddenly said:
"You can't be... a dog that drank the animal medicine soup, right?"
First there was a guy buying a prescription for keeping beasts at bay, and then a dog that knew martial arts appeared. It was not such a coincidence.
Black Dog's body froze slightly, and then his face was blank, as if he didn't know what Jiang Ming was talking about.
"Animal medicine soup can help animals awaken their intelligence. You are so stupid... you have never drank it at first glance!" Jiang Ming then shook his head and looked at the black dog: "Isn't that right?"
The black dog's eyes were filled with ecstasy and he nodded quickly.
Jiang Ming: "..."
Why do they say you haven't drunk it?
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and realized that this was a smart dog that was a little stupid. He was reluctant to kill it, but he couldn't let it go either.
Judging from that stupid girl Zhou Wenxiu, she probably can't stand this dog.
"Let's get some Hex technology first..."
Jiang Ming's punch smashed the black dog to pieces. While it was dazed, a dark pill had been stuffed into its mouth.
"This is a marrow-eating pill. Without an antidote, your bone marrow will be corroded and you will die within three days!" Jiang Ming introduced his invention: "You are the first to enjoy it. Remember to tell me if you have any clinical reactions..."
Black Dog: "..."
