C18 (1/2)
After the chaos, they found Little Nine in a tree hollow in the forest. The small tree hollow had hidden her body, so they couldn't see her from the front.
Looking at Little Nine's body covered in dirt, the old man was enraged. ”Who told you to dig a tree hole here?”
The housekeeper hurriedly replied, ”Reporting to the Old Master, you said yesterday that the original trees here were not good. The trunk is too thick, so it's easy to cut Ninth Miss's hand. Let us dig for a new tree!”
The old man thought about it for a moment. It seemed to be true, but that wasn't right. ”Then why didn't you grow new ones as soon as you dug them up?” Lili, who had hurt him, had fallen in.
(Cough cough, are you sure you fell in?) She didn't climb in herself?
The old man glared at him: If I say I fell in, then I fell in!)
The butler wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly explained, ”Reporting to the Old Master, the saplings you ordered will arrive at your house only today!” The lordmaster felt that the tree had a good meaning and decided to plant some for Little Nine as a Tree of Destiny. Since it was the Destiny Tree, he couldn't grow everything he wanted. The old man picked and picked and took a fancy to the saplings in the backyard of the Fa Yuan Temple. Only when they were shined with buddhist light every day would they be worthy of his precious treasure, Little Nine.
Thus, the old man directly said to the headmaster of the temple, ”I've taken a fancy to your saplings!”
What could the Sect Master do? Naturally, he could only follow the Old Master's request and have the High Monk give light to the saplings of the Green Tree Sect and then personally send them to Mo Family!
As a result, these saplings were still bathed in Buddhist light at the Fa Yuan Temple and were unable to fill in the hole on the tree in time.
This small accident made the old man realize that it wasn't easy to keep an eye on Little Nine. He decided to find a helper.
Very quickly, a military dog called Wolverine was sent to the Mo Family.
Wolverine was the most outstanding military dog in Northwest Army, a cross between a wolf and a dog. Not only was he brave, but he was also intelligent.
However, Mo Taiwen and the others, who didn't have much contact with military dogs, were dumbfounded when they saw the big dog that was sent here.
He saw that this Wolverine dog was about two feet tall, with green and white fur, long and thick tails, a well-proportioned body, and a sturdy physique. At the moment, its dark brown eyes were calmly observing the surroundings, and one of its ears was perked up, maintaining a high vigilance.
That was what they called awe-inspiring when they were in a good mood, or terrifying when they were in a bad one!
Was it appropriate to let such a big dog help look after Little Nine?
When the old man saw Wolverine, a look of reminiscence flashed past his eyes. He gently squatted down and looked straight into Wolverine's eyes, staring straight at him for a while before slowly reaching out his hand to touch the top of Wolverine's head.
The soldier pulling Wolverine couldn't help but feel nervous, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the rope. Wolverine was the strongest dog in the Northwest Army Battalion, he wouldn't be able to hurt the Duke of Guo, right?
Wolverine looked at the old man vigilantly, but did not resist. After the old man gently touched it a few times, its gaze gradually calmed down, and it wagged its tail slightly, shocking the soldiers who had raised Wolverine since young.
