Chapter 11:

Queqiu Town is a prosperous city, crowded with people, all kinds of businesses on both sides of the street, the north and the south are well-stocked. Fruit shop, sugar shop, clothing shop, everything. Qiaotou alleys play art, fortune-telling, storytelling, and drum singing... It’s very lively.
Yuan Xiang'er carried a small basket and walked on the crowded street. The basket was covered with a piece of floral cloth, a small white head arched out from the edge of the cotton cloth, and he rolled his eyes and looked around quietly.
"The chestnut cake from Zhouji in the previous restaurant is the best in town. It is creamy and sweet, and melts in the mouth. Their sweet-scented osmanthus candy is also delicious, with a strong scent of osmanthus." Yuan Xiang'er walked. Nanhe introduced the local specialties of the town, and said that he was greedy. He ran into Zhou Ji and bought a large bag of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar and chestnut cake.
The sweet-scented osmanthus candies are very delicate, and the amber squares are solidified with dots of osmanthus petals, with one in the mouth, fragrant and sweet.
Yuan Xianger twisted one to Nan He's mouth. Nan He turned his head, it was impossible for him to eat from others' hands.
Maybe wolves don't like sweets? Yuan Xiang'er lifted the floral cloth on the basket and put the candy on the cushion beside Little Wolf.
When I looked at it again after a while, the little candy was gone. The silver little wolf was sitting with ears upright, without squinting, only the big tail that swept back and forth quietly behind him revealed his sweet feelings.
"Xiang'er? I met you by such a coincidence." A familiar voice sounded, and outside the door of Guyixing, I met Aunt Wu's family who lived in the same alley.
Aunt Wu’s eldest daughter Dahua told a family in Lianghe Town that she would have a wedding in the beginning of the spring, so she was intensively buying her dowry.
"Xiang'er come, help my sister to pick one together." Erhua took Yuan Xiang'er's arm affectionately. The children in their family are Yuan Xianger's friends who have played together since childhood, and they are very familiar with each other.
"Oh, Xianger, what is in your basket? Will it move?"
Erhua found Nan He hiding in the basket and called out.
Several girls from Wu's family quickly gathered around and looked at the small furry ball in the basket with rare respect.
"Wow, so cute, it's Coyote."
"Silver hair is really rare, where did Xiang'er get it?"
"It's hair is so beautiful, soft and supple, let me touch it."
Nan He lowered his body and slowly retreated behind the basket.
A group of human beings surrounded him, and the chattering voice made him feel depressed and nervous. Those human palms mixed with various smells stretched out towards him one after another.
Whoever dared to touch me, I bit his hand and snapped their necks one by one.
The ferocious wolf clan stared nervously at those black palms, thinking viciously in his heart.
Yuan Xiang'er turned sideways, avoiding those who wanted to stretch out their hands to knead the dumplings, and raised her arms to block the big, two, four, and five-flowered hands.
"Can't touch it, he is very fierce, so I only let me touch it."
As if to prove it, Yuan Xianger stretched out her hand and touched the head of the little wolf naturally, because she tensed her body to guard against a group of human females who suddenly surrounded her. Nan He couldn't pay attention to Yuan Xiang'er's movements for a while, and before she had time to react, she had already succeeded and withdrew her hand.
"This isn't a dog, it's a wolf?" The shopkeeper of Gu Yixing stretched his head from behind the counter, looked at Yuan Xiang'er's basket, twisted the beard of his jaw, and shook his head.
"This fur is really rare, but it's too small. If it can be raised, peel it off. It can be sold at a good price."
The silver-white snow wolf without a trace of fur stared at him, grinning at him, showing sharp teeth.
"Oh, can this be fine, can you understand people?" The shopkeeper laughed, "Little girl, we also buy leather here, do you want to sell this little wolf to me, I can give it to you? Twelve taels of silver."
When Aunt Wu heard the ten taels of silver, she sucked in surprise, and quickly pushed Yuan Xiang'er's arm.
"Xiang'er, hurry, it's going to be sold soon. That's ten taels of silver. If you keep it in the future, it will be enough for your dowry."
Yuan Xianger laughed and laughed, rejected the shopkeeper's proposal and left.
"How much do you want to make? We can discuss it." The shopkeeper added another sentence behind her.
After this, Nan He remembered his childhood experience in a human town, and became low-spirited. He no longer stretched out his two paws to look at the edge of the basket as before, but curled up in the basket silently.
"Don't look like this, every human being is different, some like you, and of course some want to hurt you. Isn't it the same with fairies?" Yuan Xianger coaxed him, "Be happy, there is a baking shop ahead, I invite you Eat roast lamb?"
The fat and thin mutton, after being grilled with charcoal fire, exudes an attractive aroma. This strange fragrance that the wolf clan couldn't resist quickly made Xiao Nanhe forget the unpleasantness and re-emerged from the basket.
Yuan Xiang'er held a skewer of freshly roasted lamb in front of Nan He.
Nan He's eyes brightened, staring straight at the mutton skewers that were fraught with oil.
This is too fragrant.
Lamb is the favorite food of wolves, not to mention that it is made so delicious by humans, but he also feels that as a noble Sirius, he should not eat with human hands anyway. Doesn't it mean being fed.
"Eat it quickly, the meat is authentically roasted, fragrant and tender. If you don't eat it, I can eat it all." Yuan Xianger ate it herself, grinning straightly while being scalded, and speaking vaguely.
Nan He endured and tolerated, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of fat mutton, quickly grabbed Yuan Xianger's hand, grabbed a piece of mutton from the bamboo stick, and turned his head to feast on it.
One person and one wolf quickly solved twenty or thirty strings. Eating greasy and satisfied.
The master who sells skewers feels distressed while grilling the skewers, "Girl, you are so wasteful. It is a pity that such a good fat lamb is shared with a beast."
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity. Uncle, you don't know, this is not a beast, it is my friend." Yuan Xianger smiled and looked at the little furry that was still struggling with mutton, and stretched out his hand to gently follow the soft hair on his back. Flicked a few.
With the friendship with each other, Yuan Xianger felt that the awkward little wolf had put a lot of guard down on him. While he was eating happily, he smoothed the hair on his back, he didn't jump away like before, but expressed his dissatisfaction with a few hum.
In fact, it's pretty good, it's canine after all. Yuan Xianger thought in her heart that it was much better than the raccoon cat she once raised. After the cat ancestor came to the house, she cautiously coaxed for a month before finally willing to condescend and condescend occasionally when she was in a good mood. Lie flat and let yourself touch it a few times.
The back is fine. Yuan Xiang'er tried to attack his ears even more, when he saw the little wolf baring his teeth unbearably, opening his mouth and biting, and then quickly retracted his hand.
Nan He stared at the human in front of her angrily, wondering why she was so hateful, and she could not move her hand to touch her ear. And she didn't seem to think it was too much at all, still smiling so happily in front of her.
Nan He looked at the human's thin, greasy fingers, somehow, a sudden urge to stick out his tongue to lick it arose in his heart.
He was taken aback by his inexplicable thought, raised his small paw and patted his face vigorously, turned his back to Yuan Xiang'er, and refused to eat any more lamb.
The Sirius Clan’s self-healing ability is amazing. Only three or two days have passed. Yuan Xianger found that Nanhe’s broken hind leg was more than half healed. She could barely stand up and limped on the kitchen floor. Two steps.
Ding Ling Ling, a string of crisp bells, a hollow sepak takraw ball with a copper bell, rolled to the feet of the little wolf. He bowed his head vigilantly and looked around for a long time, confirming that it was just an ordinary sepak takraw and illegal weapon.
"Look at what I found, let's play ball? Come, come, throw it back to me." Yuan Xianger stood on the edge of the platform and rushed to him to recruit.
Yuan Xianger, who was preparing chicken and duck feed, did not know from which corner a ball was turned out. Just thinking about playing a ball game with Xiao Maorong.
Stupid human beings don't know what they are thinking all day long. Nan He turned his head disdainfully and ignored her.
His attention was all on the big pot of beef bone soup stewed on the stove. There was big beef bone in the pot of soup, which had been simmered for the whole morning, and the smell ran out of the gap in the lid, actively digging into Nanhe's nostrils.
When can I eat it? The food made by humans is indeed delicious, but it's too much trouble.
Of course, even if he wanted to eat again, he couldn't ask, and he still had to work hard to maintain his dismissive indifference. Only the tail that was dragging behind him swept back and forth impatiently, slightly betraying his desire.
Yuan Xiang'er lifted the lid of the pot, and a white steam rose with the smell of beef, which filled the small kitchen.
Nan He couldn't help sitting up straight.
"The soup is almost done, this bone is useless." Yuan Xiang'er looked at the pot of beef bone soup, picked up the beef bone inside with chopsticks, and put it into a basin.
Then, in Nan He's longing gaze, carrying a pot, carrying a large bucket of chicken and duck feed mixed with chopped vegetable leaves and leftovers, he walked out of the kitchen.
Nan He was a little puzzled. In the past few days, every time there was something delicious, Yuan Xianger always shared it with him for the first time. He even placed him on the same bench for meals. He was subconsciously used to it. Where is the food going this time?
The little wolf limped and slowly followed out, and saw the human being carrying a wooden barrel and giving food to the chicken coops, duck coops, and goose sheds. Then he placed the steaming cow bones in front of the doghouse under the plane tree.
The shameless black dog in the yard rushed over happily, wagging its tail desperately and flatteringly, while burying its head in the basin that should belong to him. And the woman unscrupulously reached out to touch the head and ears of the black dog, and rubbed it along its fat body for a while.
An anger surged in Nan He's heart. He wanted to bite off the black dog's neck to see who else the woman could give to her food?
The black dog who was chewing on bones suddenly felt a murderous aura. He raised his head and saw that little silver wolf was staring at him with a pair of cold eyes not far away.
It was just a small young wolf, but from the day the owner brought him back, Xiao Hei used animal intuition to perceive that this was a huge and terrifying existence that he could not provoke casually.
It confessed to its tail, and grumbled twice, and pushed the bowl that it used to eat every day in the direction of the little wolf, indicating to give in.
Who wants to use that dirty basin to eat what you have touched! Nan He was even more angry.
Yuan Xiang'er only discovered Nan He who was following him.
"Why did Xiao Nan come out? The legs are still not good, don't run around." She brought Nan He to the stone table under the sycamore tree, and saw Xiao Mao Tuan curled up unhappily and turned his face away, and then noticed between him and Xiao Hei. Awkward.
"So you want to eat this beef bone? This one has been simmered for too long and has no taste. After a while, the teacher will use beef broth to make beef noodles and a large piece of sauced beef. We will eat that together."
The furry little wolf snorted from his nose, saying that he didn't want to eat cow bones at all. It is a pity that the drooping fur ears had already stood up quickly when they heard this, and they were shaking happily. Shaking, revealing his heart without giving face.
Yuan Xianger finished feeding the chickens and ducks, patted her apron, washed her hands, and sat down on the stone table. She took out a stack of yellow talisman paper and a box of vermilion cinnabar, and began to practice drawing talisman, which was her daily homework.
Nan He was curiously lying on the desk watching her every move. The human white fingers were holding a brown pen tube, and the fingertips were light pink.
The pen was stained with crimson cinnabar, and the dragon was penned on the yellow paper. The aura between heaven and earth seemed to swim along with the movement of the bright red line.
The light breeze comes slowly, and the winter sun is warm.
Time slowly passed, the chickens in the yard were croaking, and the sound of the teacher stirring the pot and spoon came from the kitchen.
Yuan Xianger painted very intently, and the breeze gently aroused her shredded sideburns.
I don't know when the surroundings became silent.
"Is Mr. Nature at home?"
A woman's voice suddenly sounded beside Yuan Xianger,
Yuan Xiang'er got a startled goosebumps when she was writing.
The banshee, who was afraid to enter outside the gate, entered the courtyard at some unknown time.
Beautifully dressed and beautifully dressed, she stood quietly beside Yuan Xiang'er.
