Chapter 2341

Yi Liang had been insulted by his fellow clan members many times before. Although they were all surnamed Yi, most of the people in this town were surnamed Yi. They weren’t very close.

Yi Liang had no idea why they were so insistent on bullying him. It wasn’t as if he had done anything to them. They bullied him without any hesitation just because he was weak.

Now they even wanted to snatch his house.

Yi Liang breathed heavily as he stared at Yi Xue with red eyes.

“What are you looking at? Keep looking and I’ll dig out your eyeballs. You’re just a jinx that’s killed your entire family. You think you can look at me like that!?”

Yi Xue was actually a little frightened by Yi Liang’s eyes. He stretched out his hand and pushed Yi Liang harshly. Yi Liang, caught off guard by the push, fell to the ground.

Yi Xue rolled up his sleeves. He wanted to beat Yi Liang up. After all, even if he killed someone in this world, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Suddenly, a black figure rushed towards Yi Xue. It stretched out its sharp claws and swiped, leaving several deep claw prints on Yi Xue’s arm. Blood splashed out from them.

Ning Shu crouched down and prepared to attack again. She bared her teeth and growled fiercely.

Yi Xue was stunned for a moment but then cried out in pain.

The others quickly came over to support Yi Xue. The blood on his arm wouldn’t stop flowing.

Yi Xue held his injured arm with his other one and looked at the beast that had scratched him.

The beast’s body was pitch black, covered with ashes and some dirt.

Looking at the shape… He really couldn’t tell what that was.

“Ah!” Yi Liang looked at Ning Shu in surprise.

Yi Xue hissed in pain. “Catch that evil beast!”

Yi Liang stood in front of Ning Shu. “The injury on your hand will definitely rot if you don’t take care of it.”

Of course, Yi Xue knew that Yi Liang was trying to scare him. However, the wound felt really hot and painful. Moreover, the beast was so dirty. What if something really went wrong?

One of them stared at Ning Shu for a while. “What the hell is that?”

Ning Shu squeezed out two rather unique dog words from her throat. “Waf, waaf waf…”

Yi Liang quickly backed her up. “If you don’t leave, my dog will rip your necks out.”

The necks of those people shrank. Yi Xue stared at Yi Liang and Ning Shu grimly. “I won’t let you off!”

Those people then hurried away.

Yi Liang let out a long breath, then closed the courtyard door. He turned to see Ning Shu, squatted down, then said, “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been beaten again.”

Again?

It seemed that this wasn’t the first time those people had come.

Yi Liang saw that Ning Shu’s body was covered with ashes and mud from the stove hole and said, “Let me clean you.”

Ning Shu took a step back and didn’t let Yi Liang wash her.

If she was washed, and her white fur was revealed, she’d be skinned for a scarf.

Yi Liang thought about it and eventually didn’t insist on giving Ning Shu a bath.

However, he still looked full of distress, and he was obviously worried.

Yi Liang got some vegetables from the yard, then made a vegetable soup that didn’t have a drop of oil. He then gave Ning Shu a bowl and drank a bowl of that soup as well.

Ning Shu stretched out her tongue, then licked the vegetable soup in the bowl. Damn, these instincts!

At that point, it was already dark. An entire day had passed, just like that.

It was cold in winter, and it was even colder at night. Meanwhile, they didn’t even have lights in the house.

They didn’t even have oil lamps.

Yi Liang was used to saving as much as he could. He was usually alone anyway, and since he could barely even afford to eat, why would he care about the darkness?
