Looking at the human skull brought by the steamed bun on the ground, Li Huowang immediately realized that the other bone the steamed bun brought was also a human bone.

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

Regretful Li Huowang looked at the steamed bun squatting there with an unpleasant face.

"Huh?" Seeing that his owner had no reaction, the puzzled steamed bun tilted its head and used its black nose to nudge the skull towards Li Huowang's foot.

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

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

Then, Li Huowang held the bloody dagger and aimed it at the steamed bun's neck.

As long as the dog made any movement that showed interest in the flesh, he would stab it instantly.

Although he had developed feelings for the dog after living together for a long time, he could never keep a dog that loved to eat human flesh by his side. This was not only for himself but also for others.

When the steamed bun was still immersed in his caressing and not attracted to the piece of flesh, Li Huowang slowly put away the dagger.

The steamed bun did not turn into a crazy dog that loved to eat people, it just liked to carry things around to please itself.

The steamed bun was just an animal, and there was someone else who was more suspicious than it was.

It was obviously a human bone, but Sun Baolu said it was a horse bone. There was clearly a problem.

"Why did that guy lie to me?" Li Huowang's brow furrowed. They had contact with the Qingqiu people through him, and if he had a problem, it could be a big problem.

"Li Senior Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling annoyed? If you are, let's go back." Feeling that something was wrong, Bai Lingmiao said sympathetically.

"No, it's just that the steamed bun just brought a donkey hoof. It's right in front of you, you can touch its head if you don't believe me."

When Bai Lingmiao touched the familiar head of the steamed bun, a smile appeared on her face. "It really is the steamed bun. I found that it has been carrying things back recently, I don't know where it learned that from."

When the steamed bun was about to lick Bai Lingmiao's hand with its tongue, Li Huowang pulled her hand away.

"This is really a bad habit. Let's go, the steamed bun is gone. We can continue to explore the market." Li Huowang kicked the half skull away and said to the girl beside him.

This little episode did not interrupt Li Huowang's and Bai Lingmiao's enjoyment of the market. They continued to explore the entire market.

They had to leave tomorrow, and Li Huowang couldn't let anything unrelated to their journey ruin Bai Lingmiao's good mood.

He also hid his suspicion of Sun Baolu.

To prevent Bai Lingmiao from seeing those chilling things, Li Huowang tried to keep her away from those places as much as possible. However, because of this, their route in the market was quite limited.

Later, many Qingqiu people watched as a cripple and a blind person repeated their walk in the same places in the market over and over again, but the cripple's words were always different.

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

They spent the whole day exploring, and as the sun gradually set, the temperature began to drop.

"Lingmiao, it's getting dark. We should go back." Li Huowang took off the ribbon on Bai Lingmiao's face.Bai Lingmiao blinked her long white eyelashes and looked around with a few expectations, but she was disappointed to find that she didn't see any of the vivid descriptions that Li Huowang had mentioned.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

"It's already dark, and it's normal for others to close up shop, so let's go back." Li Huowang explained gently to her.

Bai Lingmiao looked up at the sky and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right. Let's go. Today was really interesting."

Looking at the happy smile on Bai Lingmiao's face, Li Huowang felt a twinge of heartache. Was this enough to satisfy her?

"Li Shixiong, look, Mantou is following us."

Li Huowang saw Bai Lingmiao scratching Mantou's chin with her hand and said, "Don't touch him, he's dirty."

"No, Mantou is very clean. Every time there's a river, he jumps in to wash himself."

Seeing that Bai Lingmiao didn't know anything, and Mantou didn't know anything either, Li Huowang finally didn't say anything and limped back with his crutch.

Seeing this, Bai Lingmiao quickly put down Mantou and helped Li Huowang by leaning on him and sharing some of the weight.

"Wang!" Mantou barked, wagging his tail and circling around Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao with his tongue out.

The quiet atmosphere didn't last long. Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao soon saw a familiar face on the deserted street, it was Sun Baolu who had driven dozens of sheep.

When he saw Li Huowang, he was obviously very happy and came over to greet him while driving the sheep.

"Li Shixiong, look at these sheep, they're so good-looking! I spent the whole day picking them out."

"By the way, Bai Shijie, this is the silver I have left from buying the sheep."

Li Huowang took another look at Sun Baolu, who still had no abnormalities, and calmly said, "Since that's the case, drive the sheep back. We can set out tomorrow and you can reunite with your family faster if we hurry."

"Okay!" Sun Baolu didn't notice that Li Huowang's expression was a bit strange and turned to drive the sheep.

On the way, when they arrived at the tent inn, Sun Baolu quickly drove the sheep to the side of the cart and boasted to Zhao Wu, who was watching the cart, about how good his sheep were and how he had bargained for the lowest price.

"Old Sun, we're almost home, do you have to be so happy?" Zhao Wu, who was eating a yellow cake, looked at Sun Baolu, who was jumping around in surprise. In his impression, he wasn't like this.

"I really don't understand. You don't look like us at all and you don't have any problems. Why did the leper catch you?"

Sun Baolu's expression stiffened, and he pulled up his sleeve a little. "There's no reason for the leper to catch people. The sheep are here, you can count them. This is our food for later. Be careful."

With Zhao Wu's full agreement, Sun Baolu turned and left the cart, heading towards his own residence.

Just as he was involuntarily smiling and imagining his reunion with his family after many days, his light footsteps suddenly stopped.

Sun Baolu looked at Li Huowang, who was leaning against a wooden pillar with a strange look in his eyes.
