The dead general was kidnapped by his husband and taken to farm.

It has been more than a month since the puppy was brought home. It has grown a lot and has become fatter. When it heard the noise at the door, it immediately ran to the door. As soon as the door opened, it immediately pounced at Jiang Shian's feet and barked. It rubbed its head against Jiang Shian's calf.

"Yuanbao, you come to greet me again." Jiang Shian smiled and bent down to touch the puppy's head.

This name was given by Ji Yinghuai. He said that ever since Gouzai came to their house, their business has been getting better and better, and it can be said that they have brought some wealth. In addition, Gouzai is now round and fat, so he simply named him Yuanbao.

The puppy is smart. He now knows that Yuanbao is his name. Every time Jiang Shian calls him, he wags his tail and runs over. He is so well behaved.

It was hot and he had been running around town all day, so he was sweating all over. Jiang Shian went to the kitchen to boil some water. Later, he and Ji Yinghuai would take a hot bath to relax.

Ji Yinghuai had his own things to deal with, so he said goodbye to him and went to the study.

A lot of books were added to the study. The two large bookcases were taller than Jiang Shian. The desk was filled with pens and ink. There was a bamboo cage by the window. There was a small bamboo cup in the cage with clear water. A pure black sea holly was locked inside. Its eagle eyes were very sharp when it looked at people.

When Jiang Shian saw it for the first time, he thought it was very majestic. He had never seen this thing in modern times. Even if it existed in the wild forest, it was a national protected animal and could not be kept in captivity privately.

That day I saw a Saker Falcon landing on the roof. The Saker Falcon was three or four times larger than an ordinary bird, with jet-black feathers. When it looked down, its eagle eyes were fierce and sharp, as if it would swoop down and tear you apart in the next second.

He looked a little scared, but he didn't expect that Ji Yinghuai blew a whistle, and the Saker Falcon flew down, flew directly into the house and squatted on Ji Yinghuai's shoulder.

Adjusting his wide and surprised eyes, Ji Yinghuai walked towards him with a smile, then put his hand on Haidongqing and touched it.

Ji Yinghuai told him that this animal was specially raised and trained to deliver messages. A letter could be delivered in less than a day by a Saker Falcon, which would take two or three days to deliver on horseback.

Seeing that he liked it, Ji Yinghuai also promised to send a suitable little sea holly to him to raise in the future.

-

Ji Yinghuai picked up the pen and wrote quickly on the paper. After he finished writing, he rolled up the paper and sealed it with wax. The words that could be seen just now disappeared, and there was no word on the paper.

He opened the bamboo cage by the window and released the Saker Falcon, then placed the note in the small bamboo tube tied to the Saker Falcon's right foot.

After touching Hai Dongqing's head, Ji Yinghuai placed it under the eaves.

"Go."

Then the sea holly spread its wings, dived into the sky and flew away.

The news of his death had already spread, and except for the emperor and a few of his closest subordinates, everyone else let him be ambushed and sacrificed.

The secret guard was assigned to him by his father, and now he is the only one who knows about it. However, several veteran generals in the army had contact with him a few days ago. Ji Zexu is a very suspicious person. In order to ensure that things can go smoothly in the future, it is better to meet him less often in the future.

Looking at the Saker Falcon flying high in the yard, Jiang Shi'an narrowed his eyes. He was not staring at what Ji Yinghuai was doing, but there was not enough firewood in the kitchen. He just went to the woodshed to pick up a few sticks to bring back to the kitchen, and he didn't expect to see it.

However, Ji Yinghuai never avoided him when doing these things.

Jiang Shian pretended not to see it and went straight to the kitchen.

At this time, the man by the window called him: "Shi'an, why didn't you ask me to get more firewood when you ran out?"

"It's not far from home. I saw you were busy so I didn't call you." Jiang Shian turned around with a faint smile on his face: "Are you done with your work?"

As he spoke, Ji Yinghuai had already walked from the window to the door, and then approached him.

Ji Yinghuai took the firewood from his arms and walked to the kitchen while saying to him, "Well, I'm done. Do you have enough firewood? If not, I'll go to the mountain to chop."

Looking at the man's back, Jiang Shian raised the corners of his mouth and said in a brisk tone: "It's enough. The furniture that was not used before has been burned for more than a month. We two don't often cook at home. After we finish using it, we will tidy up the firewood room and then go to the mountain to collect some more."

Both stoves were lit, and the pot was mostly filled with cold water. As the weather was hot, it only needed to be boiled until the water was slightly warm.

The firewood in the stove was burning so vigorously that it made crackling sounds from time to time.

It was already dark outside the yard, and the puppy squatted at the feet of the two men, lying there obediently without barking.

Sometimes they would be busy in the town all day, preparing food for the puppies and putting it in an abandoned wooden basin.

Whenever Huang Fugui has time, he will come and take the puppies out to play. Otherwise, the puppies will not go out by themselves and will guard the yard diligently.

"Among the shops I looked at today, the ones in the front are pretty good, but I haven't found one that satisfies me in the yards at the back." As he spoke, Jiang Shi'an added a thin piece of firewood to the stove.

Ji Yinghuai was holding a book in his hand, which was a book the two of them had found in a bookstore a few days ago. It contained detailed records of local customs and geography, food, clothing, accessories, etc.

Jiang Shian was very busy during this period, but he never forgot to enrich his knowledge when he had some free time, and continued to follow Ji Yinghuai in writing. However, it was still difficult for him to read the entire ancient text.

In this way, Ji Yinghuai would read more when he had nothing to do, and tell him about it when they were chatting.

Hearing Jiang Shian's words, Ji Yinghuai raised his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's go to Xizhi Street tomorrow to have a look. Our current shop is rented anyway, so if we find a suitable one, we can move there together."

Jiang Shian nodded, "The rent is only paid until next month. The shop is a little small, otherwise the location is good."

Their shop has been open for more than three months, and he is really reluctant to leave. Although they are in the same town, it will still be somewhat inconvenient for old customers to go shopping there in the future. It would be best if they could find a good shop nearby.

After talking about the shop for a while, the two moved on to other topics.

Jiang Shian observed Ji Yinghuai's expression and tentatively asked the question he had always been curious about: "Well, Ji Er, we are so familiar with each other, and I have never asked other people in your family. You have lived with me for such a long time, don't they worry about you?"

Ji Yinghuai was not surprised by his question. Instead, he smiled. "I've always felt that there was something between you and me. You weren't curious about my background, nor did you ask why I was so badly injured. I can tell that you care about my injury. Shi An wanted to keep a distance, but you didn't care, so you reserved a place for yourself and excluded an outsider like me. You didn't let me go out or come in."

Jiang Shian blinked. Was his expression so obvious?

Living in an orphanage, he was able to clearly distinguish between various emotions, kindness and malice since he was a child.

If someone is worthy of his interaction, he will reveal a little bit of his own world to him. If someone is not worthy, he will exclude the other party and build high walls to prevent the other party from getting a peek.

Now that he has been with Ji Yinghuai for a long time, Ji Yinghuai has been taking good care of him in both big and small matters, and slowly his defenses are broken down bit by bit.

What’s more important is that they have only been together for a few months, but Ji Yinghuai knows exactly what he likes to eat and what he doesn’t like to eat, as well as some of his little habits in life, but he only has a vague understanding of this person.

Whether he is a good brother or a suitor, he wants to understand men a little better.

Even though he was exposed, he was not embarrassed and nodded calmly.

"Who made you show up at my doorstep for no apparent reason, covered in blood? It's a good thing I didn't throw you out. This isn't—"

He was thinking about what words to use to describe it, when Ji Yinghuai suddenly reached out and rubbed the top of his head: "I'm very happy, Shi An, I'm very happy."
