Hounds were pets domesticated by humans. Moreover, they had the closest relationship with humans and were the most loyal to humans. It was said that a long time ago, humans raised ferocious wolves in the wild to gradually become docile. After generations of raising, the wildness of wolves became smaller and smaller. Finally, they became dogs and became the most loyal friends of humans.
However, as the domesticated product of wolves, dogs still had some characteristics of wolves. For example, they were more ferocious, had similar surnames, and had similar hunting methods.
Wolves hunted in groups, which could greatly increase the success rate of hunting and prevent themselves from getting injured. Naturally, hounds also inherited this gene. When multiple hounds participated in hunting at the same time, they could always cooperate with each other. Once they caught up with the prey, they would attack from multiple directions, making the prey unable to take care of both the head and tail. Thus, they could capture the prey.
At this moment, the three hounds raised by the fat merchant were cooperating with each other. Of the three hounds, one was always following behind the pirate, and the other two were running to the left and right of the pirate, threatening the escaping pirate from three directions.
The pirate only had two short wooden sticks in his hand and no iron weapons, so it was difficult to quickly cause damage to the three hounds. If he had an iron weapon, he could kill one at all costs and then quickly turn around to deal with the other two. However, the lethality of the short wooden sticks was too limited. Unless he kept attacking the hounds' heads, it was unlikely that he could kill the hounds in a short period of time.
Soon, the pirate found that he had nowhere to run. He was surrounded by three hounds from three directions. In order to defend against the hounds' attacks, he could only keep turning his body and waving the two short wooden sticks in his hands. He kept acting like he was going to attack the hounds to deter them and prevent them from attacking him.
However, the pirate's physical strength was limited. Frequently turning his body in the muddy water also consumed a lot of physical strength. Moreover, his body had some problems. During the days when he was publicly displayed, he had suffered many punches from passers-by. There were many internal injuries in his body, which made it difficult for him to exert his strength. Now, his physical strength was also greatly depleted, and the situation was very bad.
Sure enough, the pirate could not hold on any longer and was pushed into the muddy water by the big white dog. When the other two hunting dogs saw this, they pounced over and bit different parts of the pirate's body and tore them apart forcefully.
The pirate's arms, thighs, and many other parts of his body had been bitten into a bloody mess by the hounds. Even his head had been pressed into the muddy water by the hounds. He couldn't breathe at all, and it didn't take long for him to stop moving. The hounds didn't seem to be satisfied as they continued to tear at him with all their might. It seemed that they wouldn't stop until they tore the pirate apart.
The performance in the Colosseum was completely over. The next performance would have to wait for the next one. There were less than a hundred pirates, so they had to use them sparingly. The key was that Ang Lee was tired of watching. This Beast Fight was free, so they decided to end it early. The next Beast Fight would be announced later.
Although the beast fighting competition was over, the spectators were still very excited because they felt that this beast fighting competition was very wonderful, giving them a refreshing feeling.
In particular, the unexpected appearance of the fat merchant made them feel like they had picked up big news. They reckoned that this matter would be talked about for a long time.
"It's so satisfying! It's so satisfying to watch the pirates who once robbed us get bitten to death by the hounds. "
"Yes! For those who do bad things, they should be punished like this. Let's see who dares to do bad things. "
"That's right. Not only should evil people like pirates be put into the Colosseum to be played to death, but those who rob and bully good women should also be put into the Colosseum."
"Not only that, those who don't pay back their debts should also be put into the Colosseum. If they dare not pay back their debts, let the hounds bite them to death. Let's see who dares to not pay back their debts in the future."
"There are also those who arbitrarily reduce their prices and don't let others do business properly. They should also be put into the Colosseum to be bitten by the dogs."
"If that's the case, wouldn't a lot of people in Anzhu City be sent to the Colosseum?"
Before the merchants left the Beast Fighting Colosseum, they started discussing together.
It could be seen that these merchants were trying their best to protect their own interests. The pirates had once harmed their interests, so they felt very murderous when they saw the pirates being bitten to death. At the same time, they also wanted those who they didn't like or others who had violated their interests to be sent to the Colosseum and let these people have a taste of being bitten to death by the hounds.
For example, some merchants were always in debt and hated those who didn't pay back their debts. Therefore, they hoped to let these bad people enter the Colosseum. Either they didn't pay back their debts or they entered the Colosseum to be bitten by the dogs. They could only choose one of the two, and no matter which one they chose, they would be very happy.
Some merchants had been robbed, so they hated the rogues who robbed them. They hoped that after catching these rogues, they could put them into the Colosseum and let the hounds bite these stinky rogues to death.
In short, if people hated something in their hearts, they hoped that these people would enter the Colosseum to satisfy their hatred.
After the Colosseum was over, more than a dozen Tang Dynasty soldiers entered the Colosseum and asked the fat merchant to take his hounds out of the Colosseum and put them back into cages to be used in the next Colosseum.
The fat merchant naturally didn't dare to disobey. He hurriedly stopped the three hounds who were biting the pirates and took them away from the muddy Colosseum to the temporary camp next to it.
The Tang Dynasty soldiers carried the pirates and the big black dog on a small boat, ready to take them out and sell them.
"A big black dog is dead, so we have to deal with the aftermath. Compensate the fat man as much as the big black dog is worth, no more and no less. As for the pirate's body, just bury it directly."
Ang Lee ordered.
"Yes, I understand."
The subordinate quickly responded.
"Assistant Minister Li, the pirates and the big black dog are still alive. Should we bury them immediately?"
Seeing that the pirates and the big black dog were still alive, the Tang Dynasty soldiers didn't dare to make a decision on their own and immediately asked Ang Lee for instructions.
"Still alive, they're all alive, haha! Interesting, they're quite tough! "
Li An was rather surprised. He hadn't expected that this man and dog would still be alive. The large black dog had been struck on the head so many times by the wooden club, and the pirate had been bitten by the hunting dog until his entire body was covered in cuts and bruises. His head was already stuck in the water, but they were still alive. This was really too surprising.
"Since they're not dead, let's do our best to treat them! It's a good opportunity for Lang Zhong to practice his skills. "
After thinking for a moment, Ang Lee made a decision. Anyway, there were plenty of medicinal materials, so it was good to let Lang Zhong practice his skills. After the hounds were cured, they could continue to participate in the Colosseum. It was the same for the pirates. After they were saved, they could be used in the Colosseum until they were killed.
This was indeed a little cruel, but to deal with heinous pirates, it was necessary to be cruel. Only in this way would it be more deterrent and make ordinary people not dare to be pirates again.
"Yes, I understand."
The subordinate responded and waved his hand, asking the soldiers to carry the pirates and the big black dog for treatment so that they could recover as soon as possible.
This time, it was because of the heavy rain before, so the Colosseum was full of muddy water. As long as the drainage system was good, there would be no need to set up a special ring in the next Colosseum. They could directly compete in the entire field below.
After returning to the big tent, Ang Lee found that the four little beauties' complexions were still a little bad, especially White Fox. Her face was the palest, as if she had just suffered from a serious illness.
Ang Lee naturally knew the reason for this phenomenon. It was because these little beauties' mental quality was too poor, and they couldn't bear to see too bloody scenes.
Although White Fox hated the pirates to the bone and wanted the pirates to be bitten to death by the hounds, she didn't want to see such a cruel process. She couldn't stand such stimulation.
Perhaps this was hypocrisy! For example, some people especially liked to eat meat, but they were very afraid of how animals would look when they were slaughtered. They would never kill with their own hands, but they didn't know that their habit of eating meat had already caused many animals to be slaughtered. If they were really kind, then they would never eat meat. Since they ate meat, then they shouldn't say that killing animals was cruel.
"What's wrong, it's been half an hour, are you still not feeling well?"
Ang Lee stroked White Fox's shoulder and looked at the four little beauties.
"I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable?"
White Fox touched her forehead and said first.
"Alang, I don't even dare to kill a chicken, but you made us watch that cruel Colosseum Colosseum today, how can I not feel uncomfortable?"
"Alang, I don't dare to go to the Colosseum anymore, I don't dare to do it anymore."
"Assistant Minister Li, we are all girls, watching these bloody fights will indeed cause discomfort."
The other three were also not used to it.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Alright, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have brought you to see these bloody things. I will compensate you."
"Great! What does Alang have to compensate us with? "
Yun 'er was the first to be happy, her pale face almost instantly recovered.
White Fox, Magpie, and the beauty's complexion also improved a lot.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "Each of you will be rewarded with three sets of clothes and two sets of jewelry. As for the style and color of the clothes, you can choose. As long as you like it, I am willing to give it to you."
"Great, we have new clothes to wear."
"Alang, just clothes are not enough, we also need good food."
"Alang, it would be best if you could give us some money."
"Yes, yes, yes, other than clothes and jewelry, we also want good food and pocket money."
"We don't need a lot of pocket money, twenty gold coins is enough, hehe!"
The four little beauties happily made their requests.
Seeing that the complexions of the four little beauties had improved a lot in an instant, Li An was very happy in his heart. This little bit of money was worth it, very worth it. As long as the complexions of the four little beauties could improve, spending a little bit of money was nothing.
It was the nature of little girls to love beauty, to love food, and to love money. These three things were necessary for most little girls. Ang Lee was well versed in this and naturally knew how to coax little girls and how to make them happy.
The progress of the various constructions in Anzhu City was relatively fast, especially in the north where a lot of manpower and material resources were invested. The progress was even faster.
The one-kilometer road from the limestone mine to the main road was very rugged and difficult to travel, but in just a few days, the road was paved. The foundation was wide and flat, and it was a standard two-way four-lane road. Moreover, this section of the road was paved with cement first, half a day earlier than the main road outside.
In short, it would take a few days for the two-way two-lane cement road, which occupied half of the width of the foundation, to be completed. Then, after waiting for a few days, it should be able to be opened to traffic.
"Assistant Minister Li, the painted wall has dried, and there is no trace of a crack."
A subordinate came in and reported to Ang Lee.
"Oh, I almost forgot about it. Quick, go and have a look."
Ang Lee immediately remembered that this was the imitation porcelain paint he had developed. A few days ago, he had experimented in an undecorated shop. Now, the craftsmen had finished the wall according to Ang Lee's requirements, and it was completely dry.
In addition to the soldiers of the Tang dynasty and several officials, the businessmen who rented the shop also came, and many nearby businessmen also came to watch the fun. These people had never seen such a white wall. Several businessmen leaned too close to the wall and looked too seriously, and soon felt dizzy. However, as long as they stood a little further away, they would not feel dizzy.
In addition, the most pertinent evaluation of this white wall was that the brightness of the whole room had greatly increased. In any case, ordinary walls would not have such an effect, because ordinary walls were either made of wood or cloth. Even if they were bright, they could not be compared with the white wall. White was the color that reflected light the best, and other colors could not be compared with it.
"Assistant Minister Li."
Seeing Ang Lee come, everyone hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Ang Lee waved to everyone and strode into the room.
"Bright, it's really bright! It's much brighter than other rooms. What do you think? "
Ang Lee looked at the onlookers in the room and said.
"Assistant Minister Li is right. It's really very bright. When we first came in, we were all shocked. It's too bright."
"Yes! This room is much brighter than other rooms. "
"I wonder what is painted on the wall."
Several onlookers hurriedly said.
Ang Lee smiled and said proudly, "This wall is painted with imitation porcelain paint. Touch it and see if it's as smooth as porcelain."
"Yeah, it's really smooth! However, it's still a little worse than porcelain, haha! "
"It's very difficult for the wall to be so good. It's not much worse than porcelain!"
"Yes, this is already very good. However, I don't know the price. If it's too expensive, it won't have much practical value."
The businessmen said.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "This imitation porcelain paint is white. What do you think it's made of?"
"If it's so white, it must be lime. Is it made of lime?"
"I heard that a lime mine was found 20 miles north. If it's really made of lime, it shouldn't be very expensive."
"Yes, it should be lime."
