First, the decisive battle

Earlier, there was a hunter named Ruan Laowu in the Great Reed Pond in Kanto, who lived with his daughter Yingzi and a big yellow dog. This big yellow dog was not an ordinary dog, it was picked up by Ruan Laowu from the deep mountains. At that time, the big yellow dog was bleeding and was dying, and Ruan Laowu knew at a glance that it was taken by Xiong Blind. Ruan Laowu carried the big yellow dog back home for medical treatment, but he didn't expect that the big yellow dog would come back to life. The big yellow dog has done a lot for the family. Every time you go hunting, as long as you bring it, you will always return with a full load. Naturally, the big yellow dog became part of their family.

What made Ruan Laowu happy was that the big yellow dog was very spiritual, and Yingzi was still young, so the big yellow dog was by Yingzi's side. Yingzi and the big yellow dog had a lot of fun together.

Yingzi grew up to be seventeen years old and came out like a flower. For a time, there was an endless stream of people who proposed marriage, but Yingzi just didn't marry. When those matchmakers saw Yingzi and the big yellow dog making out together, they laughed at Yingzi and said to others, "This girl will have to marry a dog husband in the future!"

These words reached Ruan Laowu's ears, and Ruan Laowu realized that the relationship between Yingzi and the big yellow dog was indeed not ordinary. Wherever Yingzi went, the big yellow dog would follow, and in addition, the big yellow dog looked at Yingzi with the wrong eyes. This is not a dog eye, it is clearly a pair of affectionate human eyes of Maimai! There is a legend of a dog husband in the mountains of Guandong, saying that the girl did not marry all year round, and later gave birth to a litter of monsters with human heads and dog bodies. Thinking of this, Ruan Laowu broke out in a cold sweat. Although the big yellow dog is good, he has to find a way to deal with it. If something happens, his face will be lost. Just as Ruan Laowu was racking his brains to deal with the big yellow dog, an unexpected thing happened.

On this day, Ruan Laowu came back from hunting, and suddenly heard the cry of wolves coming from the yard. Ruan Laowu's heart was raised to his throat. You know, wolves in the Guandong Mountains sometimes sneak into the houses of the residents to find food. Although their family does not have livestock, there is Yingzi at home! Ruan Laowu walked quickly to the house and saw an amazing scene. Yingzi was terrified by the door, and the big yellow dog was dueling with a wolf and a fox. The big yellow dog was bitten all over and bloody, and the evil wolf tried to pounce on Yingzi, but failed.

Ruan Laowu gave the evil wolf an arrow, and the evil wolf was shot in the back and disappeared into the forest with the fox. Ruan Laowu ran into the yard, and the big yellow dog ran to him and died. Ruan Laowu knew that it was this faithful dog who saved Yingzi with his life! When the big yellow dog died, Ruan Laowu buried it in the back mountain.

Son-in-law

One year later.

On this day, father and daughter found a young man with his back facing the sky under a big locust tree. Ruan Laowu tried to breathe and said to Yingzi, "This man is still a little angry, we have to carry him home. Otherwise, if he is not eaten by tigers and wolves, he will starve to death."

The father and daughter carried the young man back home on horseback. After careful care, the young man gradually woke up. During the conversation, I learned that the young man's name was Lang Qi, and he lost his way through Guandong. He ran out of dry food, and the weather was cold, so he passed out.

The next day, Lang Qi was about to leave and passed out before leaving the yard. Ruan Laowu and his daughter carried him back to the house. Lang Qi woke up and said, "Dad, you are kind people, but I don't want to implicate you. I had a lawsuit in Guan Li and ran to Kanto to take refuge in order to avoid the pursuit of the government." Lang Qi said that his dead parents had booked a daughter-in-law for him, but the local bully Black Tiger snatched the daughter-in-law away. The daughter-in-law was so strong that she committed suicide by hanging the beam. One night, he infiltrated Black Tiger's house and killed Black Tiger.

"Good job, young man! If it were me, I would do the same. If you don't mind, stay with me." Ruan Laowu patted Lang Qi on the shoulder and said happily. Lang Qi said, "Dad, how can this be? I don't know how to hunt, and I'm not just staring at my eyes to eat?" Ruan Laowu said, "If you don't know how to hunt, you can learn!" With Ruan Laowu's enthusiasm, Lang Qi stayed.

Lang Qi was shrewd and capable, and in less than a month, he and Ruan Laowu learned to ride horses and archery. Ruan Laowu smiled on his face and was happy in his heart. In fact, Ruan Laowu had another idea why he kept Lang Qi. Yingzi was already eighteen years old, and it was time to find a man to marry. With Yingzi as his daughter, he had to find a young man with both good looks to be their door-to-door son-in-law, so that he would have a backer when he was old. Lang Qi's appearance made Ruan Laowu's eyes shine. After a long period of observation, Ruan Laowu decided that Lang Qi was very suitable.

Ruan Laowu knew that his daughter and Gou Yi, a hunter, had some interests. At that time, there were many men living in Kanto, and Gou Yi was one of them. He was exhausted from panning for gold and fell to Jingou, and was rescued by Guan Zhuangtou and accepted as an adopted son. Now, Gou Yi was an only son, and Guan Zhuangtou would not agree to send his son to their house as a door-to-door son-in-law. Therefore, Ruan Laowu valued Lang Qi even more.

That day, a group of bandits came up from Dongshan. Ruan Laowu decided to fight the bandits away with the young men in the village. Because Yingzi was a girl, Ruan Laowu let her stay at home and went to Dongshan with Lang Qi, Gou Yi and other young men.

But Yingzi said that since his father left, he has been worried all day. On that day, Lang Qi and his father came back. His father leaned over the saddle and was shot with a sharp arrow in his back. Lang Qi was also covered in blood and dust. Yingzi poured a bowl of water on his father, and Ruan Laowu woke up slightly, unable to speak for a while due to his severe injuries. Lang Qi told Yingzi that the bandits were scattered, and more than ten young men in the village were killed and injured. Gou Yi was also on the list of dead.

Hearing that Gou Yi had died, Yingzi nearly fainted. After Gou Yi came to Guan's house, he often invited her to go into the mountains to pick up mountain goods. Gou Yi's handsome ability deeply attracted Yingzi. For some reason, she seemed to feel that Gou Yi looked at her with a familiar look, as if she had known him in a previous life. She loved Gou Yi, and the seeds of love had long been broken in their hearts. Gou Yi was very kind to her, and she really wanted to follow Gou Yi, but thinking of her father who was still in a coma, she had to dispel this idea with tears. Ruan Laowu told his daughter that if Lang Qi hadn't stepped up to save him in time, he would have become a ghost of the bandits. Yingzi's affection for Lang Qi became more. Although she wanted to marry Gou Yi, Gou Yi was dead after all. Soon, under the persuasion of her father, she became Lang Qi's wife.

The next summer, she gave birth to her daughter Xiaohua. The family of four lived happily together. But whenever I think of Gou Yilai, Yingzi will cry in my heart.

Third, dumb

Swallows go to geese, flowers bloom and fall, and ten years have passed.

That night, Lang Qi led a stranger in. The man was ugly and had a limp leg. Yingzi looked at the stranger in surprise and Lang Qi said, "Don't look at him as a mute beggar, but he is the God of Wealth of our family." Seeing his wife puzzled, Lang Qi told the ins and outs of the matter.

After Ruan Laowu hurt his vitality, Lang Qi went out to sell leather goods.

One day, Lang Qi was waiting for a buyer with a roe deer skin, but he waited left and right without seeing a buyer. When Lang Qi was worried about not being able to sell the roe deer skin, the shopkeeper who was familiar with him pointed to the mute who was licking his plate and said, "Brother Lang, if you want to sell the leather for a good price, you have to process it cleanly. This man doesn't seem to be able to speak, but he is a good hand at processing leather goods. If you are willing to hire him to process leather goods for you, then your money will be doubled. He lives on the street, just give him a meal and give him a place to sleep."

Lang Qi has known Mute for almost a month, and every time, he would be smoked away by the dirty smell on his body. This mute is not only ugly, but also has a lame leg. He did not expect that he still has the skills to handle leather goods. Lang Qi thought that there was such a cheap business, so he asked the shopkeeper of the small restaurant to tell Mute that if he processed the skin in his hand, he would hire him. Unexpectedly, Mute was really skilled in craftsmanship, and a rough roe deer skin became much cleaner and neater after his processing. That day, Lang Qi sold the roe deer skin for ten taels of silver. Lang Qi took Mute into the bathhouse to wash up, and bought him a set of clothes to take home.

Yingzi smiled and nodded at Mute and said, "Since we've come home, we'll be a family from now on." Mute seemed to understand her words, and his eyes were so moved that they were wet. Lang Qi said, "Mute's mouth is dumb and his ears are not deaf, but he knows it in his heart. Look at him, he was so moved by your words that he cried." After Lang Qi finished speaking, Mute babbled and nodded at the couple.

Although Mute looked ugly, he had a dumb mouth and a clear heart. He was very good to their family and worked hard to sell their strength. Since Mute had processed leather goods for them, their income had increased exponentially, so the whole family liked him very much. Especially Xiaohua, who plays with Mute every day. Mute's hands were very clever, and he often made toys like flower baskets and garlands for Xiaohua, and Yingzi was very happy. For some reason, Yingzi always felt that there seemed to be something hidden between Mute's eyebrows that was not easy to notice by others.

Fourth, doubtful sinus

One evening, Lang Qi came back from selling mountain goods, but Ruan Laowu hadn't come back yet. Lang Qi said, "Yingzi, I went to see my father, why haven't I come back yet?"

An hour later, Lang Qi came back covered in blood. Yingzi never expected that his father was besieged by wolves. Lang Qi said that he rushed into the wolves and snatched his father's dead body back. His father's body was torn apart by wolves, and Yingzi cried loudly.

After burying Ruan Laowu, Lang Qi's temper with his wife and daughter also became grumpy day by day. What puzzled Yingzi was that the price of the mountain goods Lang Qi sold at the market was far less than before. Yingzi decided to follow her husband to see what happened. She watched as her husband sold the mountain goods and went to an alley with lanterns. The alley was built in style, and some well-dressed rich people came in and out, so lively. When she saw her husband being sent out of the door by a handsome woman in the dark, she understood everything. Husband spent all his money on prostitutes.

That evening, Yingzi came back from picking mountain goods. As soon as she entered the door, she was knocked unconscious by a stick. When she woke up, she was surprised to find that she was tied up. Lang Qi was fierce and tied Xiaohua to a pillar.

Yingzi shouted, "Lang Qi, what are you going to do?" Lang Qi smiled and said, "Tell me, where is the silver hidden?"

To Yingzi's surprise, there was a flamboyant woman next to her husband. This woman Yingzi knew was the kiln sister her husband was looking for that day.

It was indeed silver!

It turned out that after learning her husband's secret, Yingzi began to be wary of him. In recent days, she always felt that her husband was sneaky and seemed to be looking for something. Could it be that her husband was trying to save money at home? Over the years, they have saved more than 5,000 taels of silver. If silver was wasted because he prostituted women, how could she be worthy of her dead father? She didn't think so badly of her husband at first, but it was not until today that Yingzi felt the seriousness of the matter when her husband walked into the house with the woman. The kind Yingzi thought that her husband was just playing around, but she didn't know that Lang Qi was going to go far away with the kiln sister who broke into the house in front of her.

Yingzi wanted to tear up this ungrateful villain, but with Xiaohua in their hands, it would be bad for Xiaohua. Thinking of this, she said, "Lang, don't you just want silver? I will give it to you, as long as you put Xiaohua, I will tell you where the silver is hidden."

Lang Qi sneered and put the knife on Xiaohua's neck: "Stinky woman, I have nothing to say to you. Tell me where the silver is, or I will have her good-looking." The bright knife swayed in front of Xiaohua, and Xiaohua cried out in fright. Yingzi's heart was like a knife, and she said with tears, "Lang Qi, let Xiaohua go, she is still a child!"

Lang Qi said viciously, "Yingzi, stop acting with me, you think I don't know that this child is not mine, she is Gou Yi's seed! What's wrong with me visiting prostitutes, all these years, your mind is still on a dead ghost. Your father found out my secret and scolded me behind my back, and I killed him in a fit of anger. You forced me to do this! Tell me, where is the silver hidden?"

Yingzi did not expect that his father would die at the hands of Lang Qi!

V. Appearance

Lang Qi was right, Xiaohua was indeed Gou Yi's. Yingzi had already given her body and mind to her sweetheart. After Gou Yi died, she really wanted to die, but at this time, the strong pregnancy reaction made her realize that she was pregnant with Gou Yi's flesh and blood. It was not a glorious thing for a eldest girl to have a child. At this time, her father proposed to let her marry Lang Qi. In order to preserve her reputation and give birth to Gou Yi's child, she had to marry Lang Qi against her will. She knew that she was sorry for Lang Qi and tried her best to influence Lang Qi physically and mentally. Unexpectedly, he still took revenge. She complained that her father should not have been softhearted and led the wolf into the house.

For the safety of her daughter, Yingzi had no choice but to tell the location where the silver was buried. Lang Qi took out the white silver from the kang cave and laughed proudly with the woman. The woman finished the money and asked Lang Qi to kill Yingzi and her daughter. Lang Qi couldn't do it. The woman lit Lang Qi's head and gritted her teeth and said, "You dead brain, you have to cut the grass and remove the roots. If you can't do it, I will deal with this girl, and you just need to deal with the mother-in-law." The woman said, picking up a knife on the table and running to Xiaohua.

Yingzi was tied up by the rope and could not move. Facing the woman's bright butcher knife, she closed her eyes in pain. Hearing an "ah" scream, Yingzi opened her eyes and saw that it was not Xiaohua who was screaming, but the vicious woman.

Someone secretly saved Xiaohua. Who saved Xiaohua? Yingzi thought to herself, could it be him? At this time, the woman turned into a fox! Yingzi was shocked, how could a woman be a fox? Could it be that Lang Qi is not human either? At this time, Lang Qi saw that the woman was dead and ran out of the house quickly.

The outside of the house was as black as ink, and there were only a few stars. How could there be half a figure?

When Yingzi wondered who had saved Xiaohua, Lang Qi screamed from outside the house. Lang Qi covered his eyes and broke into the house. It turned out that when Lang Qi went out of the house to find the mysterious person who killed the woman, his eyes were scorched by a wave of chili noodles. Lang Qi howled in pain in the house, and a person quickly broke into the house. Yingzi was surprised and happy, it turned out to be a mute who lived in a side room. Yingzi did not expect that the lame mute, who was usually silent, had the skill of throwing a knife!

Because Lang Qi's eyes were hot, his resistance was greatly reduced, and he was tied to the pillar by Mute. Mute untied the ropes on Yingzi and Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, Yingzi, did you scare you?"

The voice seemed to be familiar, as if it was coming from a distant horizon. Yingzi asked in surprise, "Who are you?" Mute said with tears, "Like Lang Qi, I also came here to take refuge from a lawsuit in Guanli. The reason why I pretended to be mute was to save my life. Thank you for taking care of me. I don't want to trouble you, I have to go."

Mute said and took a big step out. Yingzi grabbed him: "No, you are not a fugitive from Guan Li, you are Gou Yi! I don't care if you are a human or a ghost, I will never forget your voice and breath for the rest of my life. Although your appearance is ruined, how can you hide it from my eyes?"

It turned out that Yingzi had been paying attention to Mute for a long time. She was surprised to find that Mute's actions and actions resembled the dead Gou Yi. When Mute opened his mouth to speak tonight, Yingzi concluded that this mute who had been by her side for more than half a year and could brag was Gou Yi!

The man turned around and suddenly hugged Yingzi in his arms, saying with tears, "Yingzi, I am indeed Gou Yi who escaped death!"

Lang Qi was stunned. As soon as Gou Yi returned his hand, a throwing knife stabbed Lang Qi's throat. Lang Qi's neck tilted and turned into a wolf. Yingzi did not expect that Lang Qi was transformed from a wolf.

VI. Cause and effect

Yingzi was overjoyed, threw herself into Mute's arms and cried, "Gou Yi, how did you come over all these years? Didn't you pass away?"

Mute said that he was Gou Yi. Back then, in order to get Yingzi, Lang Qi took advantage of the melee to kill him behind his back. He didn't die, so he cultivated the throwing knife stunt in the mountains. During that battle, his face was badly burned by the fire and his appearance was destroyed, so Yingzi didn't recognize him. To get rid of Lang Qi, Gou Yi dressed as a mute to watch his every move. If Lang Qi was nice to Yingzi, he decided not to show up for the rest of his life. Unexpectedly, Lang Qi was ungrateful, and Gou Yi decided to get rid of Lang Qi to avenge himself and Ruan Laowu's father. Tonight, as soon as he saw Lang Qi and the woman tied Xiaohua to the pillar, he knew they had bad intentions. He wanted to see which play Lang Qi was singing. Unexpectedly, Lang Qi showed up because of the money. Considering that his face was destroyed by the fire, he decided to leave Yingzi. Unexpectedly, she found out.

"Little Flower, he is your father." Yingzi led Little Flower to Gou Yi. "Father." Little Flower happily threw herself into her father's arms after a short period of shyness.

The family of three laughed happily.

In the blink of an eye, another few decades passed. Gou Yi fell ill, and when he was dying, he called his wife and Xiaohua to him and said, "After accompanying your mother for these years, I am content. Yingzi, do you know why I am called Gou Yi?"

Yingzi looked at her husband in surprise, and Gou Yi grinned and said, "Actually, I'm a dog fairy! Back then, I was injured by the bear demon, and it was my father who saved me. To repay my kindness, I was in your house to guard the house, and later, I fell in love with you. But I didn't expect that your beauty was taken by Lang Qi, also known as Wolf Immortal. He and the fox demon came to your house to rob you, and I dueled with the wolf fairy to protect you. After I died, I took the form of a human and went by the pseudonym Gou Yi. I didn't expect that the wolf fairy and fox demon back then also took the form of a human to take revenge. Mortals are clumsy and don't know their true faces. Therefore, I and the wolf fairy and fox demon are no different from ordinary people in human form. After spending so many years with you, it's time for me to go. After I die, my stomach is cut open, and there is something hard inside, enough for you two to live for a lifetime. "

After Gou Yi finished speaking, he swallowed and became the big yellow dog. Yingzi opened his stomach according to Gou Yi's will, and sure enough, there was a hard thing, the size of an egg in his stomach. Insiders say that this is a dog treasure that is regarded as the "Three Treasures" together with yellow beef and horse treasure! Such a big dog treasure is indeed rare.

Later, the governor had the old problem of chest and ribs choking and nausea, and he searched for good medicine and couldn't cure it. Someone came up with a prescription, and Yingzi offered the dog treasure. After a dose of medicine, the governor's original chest and ribs swelling symptoms disappeared without a trace. The governor was happy and rewarded Yingzi's family with one thousand taels of silver.

On the night she got the silver, Yingzi clearly saw that Gou Yi was smiling at her outside the window!
