Chapter 31: The Great Black Dog
Not long after noon, Gu Nanyan returned to Rabbit Gang, she left alone for half a day, but when she came back, she was followed by a big black dog. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Dogs with a well-developed sense of smell can rely on their sense of smell to understand the unfamiliar world, even if they don't use their eyes to see. Smelling the bloody smell of weasel in the air, the big black dog became alert as soon as it arrived at the post, and sniffed around with its nose, and when it found a flag made of yellow wolf skin in the distance, it immediately instinctively lowered its tail, ran to the creek in a few steps, and roared at the suspicious object on the opposite bank. Under the reminder of the big black dog, Gu Nanyan saw the round leather cylinder fluttering in the autumn wind, and she also understood everything, she glared at Liu Zixuan but didn't speak, only called the big black dog back to the courtyard to feed water.
As soon as he entered the yard, the big black dog ran to Liu Zixuan's feet and became intimate, his eyes full of the cordiality of reunion after a long absence.
Liu Zixuan half-squatted beside the big black dog, and he couldn't help but caress it. This big black dog has a square head and a wide mouth, thick limbs, and the black and shiny fur is as slippery as satin, the more Liu Zixuan looks at it, the more he likes it, especially its four paws, although most of the fur on its body is dark black, but the four paws are as if they have been dipped in a dye vat, all of them are clean white, and from a distance, it looks like he is wearing four special white shoes, which looks very pleasing. After a careful moment, Liu Zixuan thoughtfully, although this sunspot is not a domesticated hunting dog, but from the act of going into the mountains and forests alone to catch a pheasant, it can be seen that it has full hunting ability, if it is trained a little in the future, it can become a powerful assistant, compared to the lame wolf, its head has to grow half a tail, with the assistance of such a dog to deal with a disabled wolf, it is obviously more likely to win. Thinking of this, Liu Zixuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, why didn't he think of this dog earlier? If it was already there, why let a weasel bite the bait chicken?
"Kuroko will stay at our house from now on?" Liu Zixuan looked at the big black dog and asked Gu Nanyan.
"My father agreed, and before we moved back to Yanggongjing, he would let Heizi watch over the house at the post." Gu Nanyan spoke coldly, and when she noticed Liu Zixuan's strange eyes looking at Heizi, she immediately continued: "It's just taking care of the house for us, don't do anything else, don't fight its idea!" ”
……
The sun sank into the bushes to the west, and the mountains and forests were particularly cold in the late autumn evening. At this time, the sky has long faded from the usual blue of autumn, covered with a layer of cold gray, and the tight cold wind gradually plays into the rhythm of winter. The black locust tree behind the house was whirring by the north wind, and the few remaining leaves on the branches finally stopped holding on and fell into the courtyard one after another.
Gu Nanyan does some inconsequential housework in the yard, and she doesn't like to talk as much as usual. Liu Zixuan saw that she was depressed all day, and tried to make her happy several times, but she ignored her. There is nothing to do for a while, Liu Zixuan is no longer bored with himself, after getting along for more than half a year, he already knows his wife very well, as long as he gets up tomorrow morning, even if she is angry, it will be completely gone.
The two of them had dinner silently, and Liu Zixuan, like a few days ago, went to the stream in front of the rabbit hill and brought a few bundles of hay and put them in the courtyard. It was the thatch he collected after the rainy season, and now it is so dry that it can be used to protect it from the wind and snow with a little treatment. Winter is coming, and it's time to prepare some supplies to protect against the cold. Liu Zixuan sat in the courtyard, weaving the thatch into straw ropes one by one. More than 20 years of life experience told him that if he wants to spend the harsh winter comfortably on the post in this tuyere, he must make arrangements in advance. In the past, it was his father and mother who prepared these things, and after weaving them into straw curtains, they were used to block doors and windows to resist the cold wind in winter...... Even though the two old men have already passed away one after another, fortunately, Liu Zixuan has mastered the way of survival on the barren mountains and mountains. This year, he also prepared some similar cold materials, but he was afraid that Gu Nanyan had just arrived and would not be able to adapt to the cold on the post for a while.
After finishing the housework, Gu Nanyan saw that Liu Zixuan was busy working alone, so she moved a stool and sat over to help. Liu Zixuan estimated that her qi had been reduced by half, and she was suddenly a lot more relaxed. While doing the work in his hands, he said: "The lamp oil at home is about to run out, and I plan to go to the town in the next few days, and by the way, I will also buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to come back for the winter." ”
Gu Nanyan replied lightly: "If you want to go, let's go tomorrow, see that the wind is blowing tighter and tighter, maybe it will snow one day." ”
Liu Zixuan hurriedly responded: "Okay, then tomorrow." ”
"I don't have much money at home, so don't buy anything I can."
Liu Zixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, wait until next spring, and you will have money." “
Gu Nanyan asked, "Where is the money?" ”
"In the woods, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains!"
Gu Nanyan didn't answer immediately, was silent for a while, and suddenly said again: "I want a child." ”
Gu Nanyan suddenly mentioned having a child again, and Liu Zixuan replied for a while: "My mother is less than the anniversary of her death, and we can't have a child so soon." ”
"If you don't say this, if you don't say this, if you don't have an anniversary, you can shoot and kill, why can't you have a child?"
Gu Nanyan's tone was so firm, Liu Zixuan was asked without words, like a wrong-making child who had been taken a handle, so he had to lower his head and face and acquiesce to the loss.
This is not the first time Gu Nanyan has mentioned having children, but since they got married, although the young couple have slept in the same bed, they have not covered the same quilt, and they are still really guarded like jade and respect each other.
It was getting late, the little couple sat in the courtyard weaving thatch, and the big black dog lay quietly on the ground. There was suddenly such a black guy in the yard, and the dozen or so half-sized grass chickens didn't seem to be very used to it, most of them entered the nest early, and the remaining few timid ones were still wandering left and right in the corner, carefully moving to the chicken nest...... Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancestors of dogs and chickens were a pair of natural predators and predators, but thanks to humans, they can now live under the same roof without any trouble......
The next day, the weather was still fine, at noon, the autumn wind gradually stopped, Liu Zixuan made a little preparation, took the money from Gu Nanyan, and set off to Guniu Town. As soon as he got off the rabbit hill, he looked back and saw the sunspot sitting on the path under the post looking at him, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, if he wanted to use it as an assistant in the future, he would have to get closer to it, and now is not a good opportunity? So he whistled at the black dog and motioned for the black dog to go with him. When the big black dog heard the call, he hesitantly looked back at Gu Nanyan at the gate of the courtyard, as if asking for permission. Gu Nanyan smiled and said, "Go ahead, give him a companion on the way!" ”
The big black dog got the order, and jumped off the post as soon as he slipped away.
The weather was refreshing, and Liu Zixuan took the big black dog and rushed all the way to Guniu Town. Occasionally, I met one or two wild dogs on the road, and when I saw this sunspot from a distance, they all ran away. When I arrived in the town, I met more dogs, and a few female dogs who were in heat saw the sunspots, and they lost no time in running in front of them, rolling and wagging their tails, and couldn't wait to show their courtesy. Kuroko sniffed the bodies of those kind, and then walked away without interest, revealing a noble temperament that was not in his eyes. Liu Zixuan saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel secretly proud in his heart.
