Lord of the Desert

Chapter 10 Night Tour
On the eighth day of March, that night.

The ugly hour—that is, one o'clock in the morning—has just passed.

There was no one around outside the small courtyard, Hong Fan closed the wooden door silently.

Tonight is cloudy and the moon is covered, and everything is dark. It is a good weather to go out and do errands.

On the Qingshiban Road, Hong Fan was wearing black clothes and trousers, and his travels were undisguised, and he seemed to be strolling in the garden.

If someone sees it, they will only think that this person is sleepless in the middle of the night, and they will go out for a walk.

It's just that at his feet, after every step, the dust will be stirred up by the invisible wind, destroying the traces.

Hong Fan's destination is the kennel.

In other words, it was Jiang Youcai's residence.

After passing through several courtyards, Hong Fan approached the destination without hindrance.

In the Hong Mansion, of course, there is a night watch team of strong men.

It's just that there are not many people, and the vigilance is not strong, and there are many omissions in the inspection of the mansion.

Jiang Youcai's "dog house" is one of two adjacent bungalows.

There is no courtyard, so Hong Fan doesn't need to climb over the wall.

Although the Hong family is a wealthy family in Jinhai, they are not so extravagant that even the family servants and Lang Qing have their own small courtyard to live in.

Although the uninvited guest lowered his footsteps, his movement was still caught by the vigilant animals.

There was a clatter of iron chains, and two big dogs weighing more than one hundred catties pricked up their ears.

When Hong Fan's figure appeared in sight, they immediately yelled loudly and pulled the chains around their necks straight.

From the perspective of a traveler, these two big dogs are also very handsome.

The coat is bright, the muscles are strong, and the eyes are sharp...

If you were an ordinary thieves, if you were discovered by them when you sneaked in, you would definitely feel flustered.

But Hong Fan knew that in the Hong family in the middle of the night, no one would pay attention to these two wolf greens who barked whenever they saw anyone.

The power of the martial arts heirs did not rely on animals to look after the house in the first place—not to mention that the grand master of the Hong family is now the new top master in Jinhai City, who would dare to come here?
From the very beginning, they were just Hong Ping's playthings.

Sure enough, the dog barked for two rounds, and there were no houses around.

Only Jiang Youcai yelled and cursed from the room.

"Two idiots, what's the noise in the middle of the night?"

"Hurry up and shut up!"

And the two wolf greens really behaved well—after being scolded by their master, they actually stopped talking after making two beeps.

"Well, the dog is a good dog, but it's a pity that I followed the wrong person..."

Hong Fan whispered to himself, stepped forward slowly, and stood still one step in front of the two wolf greens.

Perhaps animals are indeed more sensitive than ordinary people in some respects.

Facing Hong Fan who was approaching unarmed, the two dogs seemed to have sensed the hidden danger, not only did not dare to shout anymore, but instead hid with their tails between their legs.

But the chains tied to the tree cut off their vitality.

Hong Fan's five fingers were held empty, and he easily pulled up a large piece of sand from the ground.

Then, the sand gathered and solidified, turning into suspended streams.

He pushed forward again, and when he was about one meter away from Langqing, he shook his right hand vigorously.

The sand flow suddenly rioted, quickly penetrating along the snout of the first big dog, solidifying the blockage in the trachea.

Feeling the deadly threat, Lang Qing wanted to make a sound, but couldn't. He could only collapse on the ground, scratching his throat with his front paws.

But it's just futile.

Soon, it died of suffocation silently.

As for the second wolf green who had witnessed all this, he was trembling all over by now and couldn't even stand up.

In the same way, Hong Fan completed the second execution.

Then, the sand and soil quickly flowed back from the mouths and noses of the dog corpses, and scattered into the night sky, leaving no grain behind.

"In this way, it's called even."

Hong Fan looked at the bungalow a dozen steps away, and said in a volume that only he could hear.

Tonight, he only touches dogs, not people.

For the Hong family, the death of two animals was a trivial matter not worth pursuing.

However, the sudden death of a young and middle-aged son at night will inevitably cause quite a stir.

Hong Fan had just activated the Dragon Soul Tree and obtained the Sand World at this time. It was a time when everything was waiting to be done and the hidden dragon was in the abyss, so there was no need to take such a risk.

As for Jiang Youcai, tomorrow, the arrogant and violent eldest son Hong Ping will naturally give him the punishment he deserves.

······
On the ninth day of March, early in the morning.

Hong Fan felt refreshed and got up early in the morning.

After washing with cold water, he practiced air strikes for half an hour, and then had a rich breakfast with Aunt Liu at the stone table.

After the meal, Aunt Liu went out to do the laundry with the dirty clothes and the tub, leaving Hong Fan alone in the courtyard.

Yesterday's small test made him feel the power of the sand world.

At this moment, he really wants to try sand control more, and find out the limits of all aspects.

But Hong Fan knew that this narrow courtyard with walls only two meters high was really not a place for practicing martial arts that could keep secrets.

"At the moment, we should focus on Yanliu Gong first."

Just as he was about to continue practicing, a familiar voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Fan, I'm coming!"

Such acquaintance and nature will only be a blessing.

"How are you now?"

After entering the door, the visitor sat down beside Hong Fan. He first cared about his condition, and then started talking about the small half plate of peanuts left over from breakfast on the stone table.

"Brother Fan, your place is clean; I passed by Hongping's yard when I came here, good guy, he is whipping people there himself with a whip!"

Hong Fu chewed while talking, and the sound of peanuts smashing into bones came from his teeth.

"Who is it?"

Hong Fan was very interested and asked the question knowingly.

"Who else could it be? He is always with Jiang Youcai!"

Hong Fu replied.

"I listened for a while outside the courtyard. It seems that the kid raised Hong Ping's two precious big wolf dogs to death."

"It's said that Hong Ping has made an appointment with Chi's second young master to fight dogs these few days. It's a shame. With his temperament, why don't you beat him hard?"

Hong Fu finished chewing the peanuts and wiped his mouth.

"I glanced at it when I passed by, heh, the clothes on Jiang Youcai's back were ripped off, and his body was covered in blood, so he couldn't get out of bed for ten days."

"I just don't know what to do with those two big dogs, they can produce more than a hundred catties of meat together..."

Hong Fu licked his lips, but coveted the two wolf-green bodies again.

"If you get dog meat, you have to call me."

Hong Fan joked.

"Hey, just wash this half plate of peanuts, that's a must!"

Hong Fu slapped his thigh and said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly slapped his forehead again.

"Oh, I almost forgot the business."

Hong Fu had a worried look on his face.

"Brother Fan, can you go to ethnology now?"
