Chapter 450: 1 Dog Food
Chapter 450: 1 Dog Food
"In this case, won't the people who grow millet over there also have to harvest the land?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"Who said it wasn't? Uncle Niu's family is really generous. He didn't even get up to check on his son even though he was at home. I saw him when I came here this morning. He also said that their millet field didn't grow well because there was no manure on it, and the wild boars would definitely not look down on it. In my opinion, he's just being lazy. Every year, the wild boars in the village are not the problem of just one family. Everyone comes out to help when they hear the noise." Geng Chunhua said somewhat indignantly.
Gu Qingqing did not make any judgment on this matter, but just said resignedly, "Let them be, we will try our best to protect our own. By the way, do you have land next to the mountain?"
Geng Chunhua nodded, "Yes, of course. We also grow sorghum."
Geng Chunhua becomes worried when talking about this, as wild boars are hard to guard against at this time of year.
"Then are you and Brother Li going to guard the fields at night?" Gu Qingqing asked again.
"I wanted to go, but your brother Li wouldn't let me. He said he wanted to go." Geng Chunhua's tempers rose sharply when she said this. She even raised her voice a little, as if she was going to burst out with dissatisfaction in her heart. "You think your brother Li would be comfortable sleeping in the fields like a child? Why did he insist on going? If wild boars really come, he won't be able to outrun them. Doesn't he know his own weight? I get angry just thinking about it."
The corners of Gu Qingqing's mouth twitched, as if she was being fed dog food for no reason.
In the end, I had to comfort her and say, "Brother Li is worried about the food in the fields. Besides, all the men in the village sleep in the fields. He can't let you go if he doesn't want to go."
"Why can't I go? He can't outwork me on weekdays, and he doesn't know what he is competing with me for at this time. He only worries about food, and doesn't think about whether I and the children are worried about him." Geng Chunhua then got to the point. After all, she was worried that it would be unsafe for him to sleep in the fields.
Gu Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I will lend you my Dahei and let him follow Brother Li at night. Dahei is smarter than humans at night. With him around, if there are really wild boars stealing food, he can also warn Brother Li."
Geng Chunhua was startled, then burst into laughter, "Hey, your idea is good, I'll feel relieved if he takes your Dahei with him. I'll tell him when I get home in the evening. Hey, does your land not need someone to watch over it?"
Gu Qingqing thought about it and realized that her family’s land was not next to the mountain, so wild boars couldn’t run into her land even if they were greedy. As for people?
After the commotion in Zhujia Village a few days ago, not only is her land safe, but no one in the entire village dares to steal.
She smiled and shook her head, "No."
Gu Qingqing had just promised to lend Dahei to Geng Chunhua in the morning, but Wu Shan came in the afternoon to borrow the dog. However, he did not borrow it for his own use, but to help the villagers whose fields were closer to Niutou Mountain.
"Qingqing, this is a loan from the village to you. We are not lending it for nothing. How about I ask someone to bring a big bone to Dahei from the town every day these few days?"
Gu Qingqing smiled brightly and shook her head, "Uncle Wu, you'll save yourself the trouble. This morning, I agreed to lend Dahei to Sister Chunhua's family, and Brother Li will also go to the fields to guard them at night. Her family's fields should be in that area, and if there are wild boars nearby, Dahei will definitely give the alarm if he finds them."
Wu Shan was so happy when she said that that he slapped his thigh. "In the past, few people in our village kept dogs, so we didn't think much of it. But this year I discovered that your Dahei is really capable. He is such a good dog."
When Wu Shan said this, his eyes were full of envy.
When Dahei was praised, Gu Qingqing inexplicably felt proud. She smiled and said, "I don't know where Dahei has gone crazy again. If he heard Uncle Wu praising him like this, his tail would definitely be lifted up to the sky."
"Hahaha, it got it by its own ability." When Wu Shan said this, he changed the subject and said, "Qingqing, where did you buy Dahei that day? I wonder if the other party still has puppies for sale now?"
Gu Qingqing was slightly startled after hearing this, and then asked in surprise, "Uncle Wu, does your family also want to have a dog?"
Wu Shan nodded directly. "It's just what I said just now. In the past, few people in our village kept dogs. I was inexplicably afraid of seeing fierce dogs in other places. When you raised Dahei, I was worried that it would bite people. I didn't expect that as it grew up, it never caused any trouble in the village. Now it even dares to fight against wild boars. It's really enviable."
When Wu Shan said this, he and Gu Qingqing were both attracted by the big black thing that suddenly appeared in their sight. Gu Qingqing looked at the pheasant in its mouth and felt it was normal, but Wu Shan just widened his eyes.
"Where did it catch the pheasant?"
Just as Wu Shan finished asking, Dahei walked up to Gu Qingqing, threw the pheasant in front of Gu Qingqing's feet, raised his head and barked at her twice. His smug little look showed that he was trying to take credit and seek praise.
Gu Qingqing reached out and stroked its fur in front of Wu Shan. "Got it. You caught it. I'll stew it for you tonight."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, her face twitched as she said, "In the past, Zhao Dong loved to take Dahei up the mountain to catch things. Later, Zhao Dong was too busy to take him with him, so he often went up the mountain alone to hunt around. Today, he was lucky because he caught a chicken."
Originally, Wu Shan just wanted to raise a dog, but when he saw that Dahei could actually go up the mountain to catch game, his desire to raise a dog became even more important.
"Think about it, do you remember which village you bought the black cat from? How much did it cost? Black cat is so smart that I want to raise one."
Then, Gu Qingqing told Wu Shan about the situation when she bought the dog.
Wu Shan smacked his lips after hearing this. "Two hundred coins for a healthy puppy is a bit expensive, but if he has the same ability as Dahei, it will be worth it."
"I don't know if he is still outside the market. Tomorrow I will ask Xiaocao to ask around in town. If she meets him, I will ask her to bring a message back and Uncle Wu will go with her to take a look." Gu Qingqing replied.
"Okay, you ask your sister-in-law to keep an eye out for him. I'll go find Lao Niu Che right away. He goes to town every day so he should know about it. I'll see if he has any news."
Seeing that he was going to ask the village old ox cart to inquire, I simply told him the general appearance of the man at that time.
"Okay, you do your thing, I'll be back soon." Wu Shan said and turned to leave, but after taking a few steps he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to her, "We like the eggs you gave us last time. Leave me one acre of seeds for next year."
"Okay!" Gu Qingqing agreed with a smile.
After Wu Shan left, Gu Qingqing carried the dead chicken and walked towards the hillside to find Yang Xing.
At the same time, that night he told Lu Xiaocao the news about buying a dog and asked her to keep an eye out for it.
