As she was walking, she noticed bloodstains on her sleeve. She must have accidentally gotten them on while delivering Tian Cuie's baby. She would wash them properly when she got back to the educated youth settlement.

Just as she was about to reach the educated youth settlement, she suddenly heard a dog barking coming from the alley to her left.

The sound drew closer quickly, and in just about two seconds, a large black dog pounced on her.

I don't know if this dog bites people; I'm afraid it might be a rabid dog.

There were a few people standing on the roadside not far from her. She couldn't use her spatial abilities right now, so she had to use tools to drive the dog away.

But she found the dog somewhat familiar, almost identical to the dog she had seen before that appeared with the dog chaser.

The dog approached her and sniffed directly at her blood-stained arm, so she quickly raised her arm.

Everyone says dogs have the best nose, so could this dog have appeared beside her because it smelled blood?

The dog barked at her twice, and she instinctively took a few steps back, worried that the dog would continue to pounce. Suddenly, an old woman rushed out from the side. The old woman was extremely fast. She rushed to the dog's side, pounced on it, and bit the dog's back. The dog howled in pain.

But the old lady was clearly skilled; she held the dog firmly in her grasp, and the dog couldn't break free or fight back. It could only be torn apart and bitten by the old lady.

Lin Qingyan was also amazed. She had only ever seen dogs bite people before, and this was the first time she had ever seen a person bite a dog.

It's exactly the opposite.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Qingyan found a stick on the ground. If the old lady couldn't out-bite the dog, she would use the stick to chase it away.

A minute or two later, the thrilling battle between humans and dogs finally came to an end.

The dog was nothing but trash in front of the old lady. It was bitten by her without any chance to fight back, and when it ran away, a patch of fur was missing from its back.

The old lady stood still and did not run away with the dog.

She still had a mouthful of dog hair in her mouth.

Only then did Lin Qingyan have the opportunity to carefully examine this unusual old lady.

The old woman was disheveled, her gray hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and it was hard to tell how long it had been since she had washed her face. There was a dark patch on her nose, and at first glance, she looked like a clown from a magic troupe. There were also dirty spots on her cheeks, making it impossible to recognize her true appearance.

Her clothes were dirty and tattered. She wore a men's black Zhongshan suit on top and trousers with one leg torn. Three or four toes were sticking out of her cloth shoes.

The old lady stood there steadily. In fact, while Lin Qingyan was sizing her up, she was also intently sizing up Lin Qingyan.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

She stared intently at Lin Qingyan for a full minute.

Then blink, and blink again!

She recognized him by his eyes; this was the person she instinctively wanted to get close to.
