Chapter 017: Mighty War Dog
Early the next morning.
Liu An was woken up by the movement of his mother's cooking.
Liu An, who had wasted wood for more than 20 years in his previous life, naturally did not have a good habit of getting up early.
Before the biological clock is changed, it is impossible to wake up naturally.
He got up and took his clothes to put them on, but suddenly remembered the dream he had last night, and hurried out of the door before he got his clothes on.
Seeing that his mother was still safe and her fingers were growing on her hands, Liu An breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, it was a dream, fortunately it was a dream...... Liu An thought happily in his heart.
"Why is my son so flustered? Dress first and don't catch a cold. ”
Cui Shi heard Liu An's movement, and when he turned around and saw that Liu An came out without putting on his clothes, he blamed him distressedly.
"Well, it's Meng Lang."
Liu An smiled stupidly, didn't explain, got dressed and went to fetch water and wash.
Seeing that his mother hadn't cooked yet, Liu An said something to his mother, and started jogging around the village twice according to the plan set yesterday.
Liujia Village is not big, and Liu An jogged for less than 10 minutes.
After running around the village, Liu An, who was out of breath, found that there was no one on the street, so he took advantage of this free time to go home and pick up a flat shoulder to fetch water regardless of physical fatigue.
After sending the two buckets of water back, Liu An did not rest, and dragged his lead-filled legs to finish the rest of the lap.
When he got home, Liu An sat on the bench panting, and it took a while to slow down.
When he went out before, Liu An had already told Cui Shi to run and exercise, so Cui Shi did not ask Liu An why he was out of breath.
Just put a bowl of water in front of him and began to put the food on the table.
The meals were all leftovers from last night, and Cui Shi just put them on the steamer and heated them, and there was some boiling water in the kettle, but there was no soup.
However, the mother and son are very satisfied with their food, and they can eat enough in this era, as well as meat and vegetables, which is a hundred times better than most people.
After eating, Liu An took the money, took a few sacks from home, and pushed the cart out.
He still has to go to the county seat first, there are a lot of things to buy, not to mention, the plan he made yesterday needs to be changed a little.
First of all, he later took a closer look at the cultivation method of potatoes and found that the germination stage in seedling raising has requirements for the temperature of the environment.
It's only the first month of the year, and the temperature outside is still very low, so there is no way to make the potatoes sprout as quickly as possible.
If you want to maintain the temperature, it is best to build a fire wall, and the room with a fire wall is larger, so that it is convenient to germinate potatoes in it later.
The best time for potato planting is approaching, and there is not so much time left for Liu An to build a house by himself and then carry out a half-month germination project.
Besides, Liu An not only can't build, but also has no strength.
Then it takes a lot of labor to build a house with a fire wall quickly.
And the cheapest way Liu An thought of was to pick a few young people with better physical strength in the team of disaster victims to help.
There is no need for wages, as long as they are fed, many people rush to come.
But in this way, Liu An still needs to prepare a lot of things, such as enough food, such as enough tools, and so on.
Of course, the most important thing is to hire one or more carpenters who know how to build houses and fire walls.
Carpenters in ancient times were real craftsmen, who knew how to work with wood, make furniture, build houses, decorate yards, and even invent things.
This is the case with the famous carpenter ancestor Lu Ban.
The cart was empty, and although Liu An was not physically strong, he was not too tired to push.
He came to Liu Ming's house first, ready to borrow a pair of martingale.
The martingale is a tool that is put on the body of the ox when the ox pulls the cart, and is composed of two parts: the yoke and the rope.
After Liu An knocked on the door, it was the housekeeper Liu Wen who opened the door and came out, and after asking Liu An about his intentions, Liu Wen went directly to Liu An to get the martingale.
It's just a pair of martingale, and Liu An just borrows it, and it's not that he takes it away and doesn't return it, Liu Wen can still do this as a housekeeper.
If he really had to trouble his master even for this little thing, then he would be useless as a housekeeper.
In addition to the martingale, Liu Wen also helped Liu An bring a bullwhip out very intimately and handed it to Liu An.
After getting the martingale, Liu An carefully asked how to use it, and then thanked Liu Wen and left.
The cart came to the north of Liujia Village, and after Liu An made sure that there was no one around, he called the system.
[System, help me extract the ploughing cattle and war dogs.] ]
Liu An, the tools of the newbie gift package, can be directly taken and put back directly, those tools seem to be bound to his soul, whether it is in the system or in reality, Liu An can feel their existence.
But everything else needs to go through the system before it can be extracted.
[Okay, ready to extract ploughing cattle and war dogs...... Systematic extraction ......]
"Whew~~"
"Moo~~"
With two low howls, Liu An felt that he suddenly had two more leashes in his hands.
Looking along the rope, one was attached to the neck of the newly appeared war dog, and the other was attached to the big bull in front of him.
And in the blink of an eye that Liu An was stunned, the war dog had already put on a posture and was ready to attack the ploughing cow.
"Don't, don't...... Don't be impulsive! Liu An shouted in fright, and hurriedly pulled the rope of the war dog and pulled it to the other side.
This war dog seemed to be psychic, and after being pulled aside by Liu An, it quieted down, and although the eyes looking at the ploughing cow were still vigilant, they were not as fierce as just now.
Liu An put his mind at ease, and at the same time praised the system in his heart, the system must be extraordinary!
Tying the ploughing ox to the cart, Liu An pulled the war dog out of a little distance, stretched out his hand and tentatively stroked the hair of the war dog.
I saw that he squatted down obediently, let Liu An soothe him, and his face that was still fierce in the face of the ploughing cattle before showed an expression of enjoyment.
So Liu An put his heart down and got close to this pet that belonged to him.
It's just that it doesn't seem appropriate to call him a pet.
This war dog looks like a Caucasian shepherd dog, but its hair is as long and thick as that of a Tibetan mastiff, and its head is somewhat similar to that of a Tosa dog.
Its whole body is red, there is no trace of miscellaneous hair on its body, its four legs are strong and advantageous, and its eyes are fierce and cruel when facing the ploughing ox just now, and it is awe-inspiring.
Can such a war dog, even higher than the combat effectiveness of several wolves, still be called a pet?
Liu An stroked the red hair of the war dog, pondered for a moment and said:
"Your whole body is as bloody as blood, and you are so psychic, so I named you 'Blood Spirit', how about it?"
I don't know if I understood Liu An's words, the war dog let out a joyful whine after Liu An's words fell.
"If you like it." Liu An didn't care if the war dog could understand it, patted its neck and got up and said:
"Your master's force value is too low, so I will leave your future safety to you, Blood Spirit!"
With that, Liu An took the rope in his hand and walked towards the ox cart.
The blood spirit also screamed and followed, happily surrounding Liu An while running, and tangled the rope.
