Chapter 244: Keeping a Dog to Prevent Thieves
Lingshui Village, the old Xu family.
Old Man Xu looked at Zuoqiu with a stunned expression, swallowed his saliva, and said, "So, my family has escaped?" ”
"For the time being."
Zuoqiu nodded, "According to the news obtained from the interrogation, the people of the previous dynasty are eyeing you, big brother!" ”
"They're sick in the head, aren't they?"
"What did Lao Tzu do?"
Old man Xu jumped to his feet, didn't he just find out the batch of tributes hidden in the mountain behind Lingshui Village and report it by the way?
Those things have been hidden there for twenty years!
The remnants of the previous dynasty wanted to fight him to the death for something they might have forgotten.
Is this the hell the head caught in the door panel, or is it in the water?
"Big brother, don't get too excited."
"The remnants of the previous dynasty have long since become a climate, and they may be returning to the light now. With the loss of this group of manpower, it is estimated that there will be no one for a while! ”
"The bottom line is that they certainly don't have any great characters on their hands. Otherwise, how could he be caught by a gang of people in the yamen and caught quickly? ”
"I think at the beginning, they could even grab tribute."
"Twenty years have passed, and I estimate that the rest of the previous dynasty is only three or two kittens!"
Zuoqiu is actually quite confused.
When he knew that the people of the Xu Mansion were dying under his rule, he really had a feeling that he was memorizing words.
Knowing that it may be difficult to have a result in this case, his strategy is to make a big show and make a big battle for the people above.
Who would have thought that the little fish that shot the three people of Xu Mansion had not been found, and he actually accidentally caught the remnants of the former dynasty.
What made him even more unexpected was that the target of this group of former dynasty remnants was still his sworn brother.
At the moment when he knew the truth, Zuoqiu didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky.
Old Man Xu didn't know that there were only three or two kittens left in the remnants of the previous dynasty, but the problem is that the existence of these dog things is very disgusting.
As the saying goes, as long as you are a thief for a thousand days, there is no thief for a thousand days.
The remnants of the previous dynasty were eyeing their family, and the first wave of people who shot were accidentally arrested, so will the other party stop?
It's really hard to say.
……
Zuoqiu, who came to report the news, sent away Zuoqiu, and Old Man Xu also quickly went out.
People guard against thieves, and they can't win.
In that case, there is only some other means to be used.
Old Man Xu went out, and soon found Old Man Yue with a chessboard here under the old walnut tree in the village.
"Come, come, kill two sets!"
As soon as he saw Old Man Xu coming, Old Man Yue beckoned happily.
Old Man Xu waved his hand and said, "I won't play chess today, there is something wrong." ”
"What's the matter?"
Old Man Yue saw that Old Man Xu had a serious face, so he followed with a straight face and replied seriously.
"Brother Yue, I remember that your third son-in-law's family has a lot of dogs, right?"
"What? Do you want to raise? ”
Old Man Yue couldn't help but be happy, "I used to let you raise it, but you said that beast was everywhere, why did you suddenly figure it out?" ”
"Remembered by thieves!"
Old Man Xu didn't want to hide it from Old Man Yue, but was worried that the news of the remnants of the previous dynasty staring at his family would spread, which would make the people in the village panic.
The remnants of the previous dynasty mean rebellion, and it also means murder and arson.
"How many?"
"Eight!"
"How much?!"
Hearing the numbers spoken by Old Man Xu, Old Man Yue was so frightened that the chessboard in his hand overturned.
Most people have dogs, and it is very common to have two.
But this old brother is a little ruthless, there are eight of them when he opens his mouth, I want to raise dogs to prevent thieves, or do I want to raise dogs to eat meat?
"Eight!"
"Uh, no, eight little milk dogs, and two slightly older ones!"
Old Man Xu smiled, "My family has eight little dolls, just right, one person and one little milk dog." Two are slightly larger and can be used to watch the home. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
The more Old Man Xu thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was too good.
The little milk dog grows up with the little dolls, and when the children grow up, there is a big dog around them who always protects them. If the remnants of the previous dynasty have been haunted for many years, when they come again, they will be able to block it for a while.
Of course, the most important thing is to let the little babies practice martial arts with him.
Practice martial arts, strengthen your body, and protect yourself.
"Give money!"
After listening to Old Man Xu's words, Old Man Yue simply and directly stretched out his hand.
If this is a puppy of two people, he will sell face, and he will come. But this time it was ten dogs, and his son-in-law didn't have so many in the family, so he must ask the people of their village for help.
"No problem, as long as the dog is good, the silver is not a problem."
Old man Xu is very arrogant.
After all, the old Xu family is really not bad for money now.
Old Man Yue glanced at Old Man Xu and said, "I know that you have money now." However, you have thought about it, since this dog is raised, you can't regret it! ”
"Am I the kind of person who goes back on his word?"
Mr. Xu didn't keep a dog before because he didn't think it was necessary.
And most importantly, having a dog requires feeding. If you want to raise a dog well, you have to give it bones and soup or something.
At that time, although the old Xu family also had some savings, the family's expenses were not small.
Having a dog is equivalent to having one more person in the family.
Although Old Man Xu is sometimes cold, he seems to be killing a god. When his heart is actually very delicate.
If he had a dog, he would not see the dog starving and barking.
There are many people in Lingshui Village who have dogs, but most of the dogs are underfed and skinny.
However, these people are still talking about what the dog just can't feed, otherwise the dog will forget who the owner is, and even will turn against the owner.
For this theory, Mr. Xu wants to say, nonsense.
In his opinion, dogs can't eat enough to eat their owners.
This man is so hungry that he will become a wild beast.
Not to mention dogs?
Of course, the truth that you only have to be eight points full to feed the dog, Mr. Xu still understands.
After separating from Old Man Yue, Old Man Xu went towards the river.
The construction of the water wheel has already started.
The carpenters of the village, as well as those from the neighboring village, were invited to begin processing wood under the command of Niu Dali.
When Mr. Xu arrived at the construction site, he saw Niu Dali losing his temper.
"What's going on?"
Old Man Xu didn't expect that as soon as he came over, he would see such a scene, and he was a little surprised.
As soon as Niu Dali saw Old Man Xu coming, he hurriedly threw away the person he was arguing with and greeted Old Man Xu.
"Brother Xu, you're here just in time!"
"I just have something to tell you!"
As soon as Old Man Xu looked at Niu Dali's appearance, he knew that this was really going on.
He and Niu Dali don't know each other, and they know Niu Dali's temperament very well. Don't look at Niu Dali's babbling on weekdays, but when he talks to people about business, he has always had a good temper.
But now, Niu Dali's temper is a little bigger.
