It's good to be big; you can guard the house and maybe even help with chores.

Seeing that the little guy's wound was slowly healing, she took some plastic wrap from her space and wrapped it around the wound. She then boiled some water and began to give the little guy a bath.

It's nothing else, the little guy really does smell pretty strong.

I should wash it first; only then will I have the patience to deal with it.

After fussing around for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao took a towel to dry the little guy, then took a chair and sat in the shade to read a book, letting the dog sunbathe.

The sun is still relatively mild, so she won't put it inside the space and will use a hairdryer instead.

Within just a few hours, the news that Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to get a pet spread.

Wang Xue has loved soft things since she was a child; stray cats would often come to her house when she was little.

Upon hearing that Lin Xiaoxiao had found a puppy, she immediately dragged Li Mei over to see the puppy.

Wang Xue was utterly captivated to see the silvery-gray little creature rolling around on the clean winnowing basket.

"Ah...it's so cute."

Lin Xiaoxiao followed their gaze and saw that the little guy did look better after the bath, but his fur was quite unusual for a dog.

In modern terms, it was the color of meteorite lime. Lin Xiaoxiao searched her memory and couldn't recall any dogs in the village that were this color.

Could it be wild?

After taking a closer look, Lin Xiaoxiao realized that it did indeed resemble a dog.

She initially wondered if it was a wolf, but considering the characteristics of wolves, she thought it was unlikely.

Oh well, I've already taken it all back. Whatever it is, it's mine anyway.

Wang Xue squatted in the yard looking at the puppy and said, "My sister, where did you find this little thing?"

"This is too small, its eyes are not even open yet."

Lin Xiaoxiao squatted down in front of the puppy and scratched its chin. "I found this when I was cutting pig feed."

Li Mei looked at the little guy, but didn't touch him: "What's its name?"

Are you really going to raise one?

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. She had made up her mind. She planned to live a leisurely life anyway, and she had plenty of time to raise this little thing.

Also, there are no entertainment activities here, and when you're free you don't want to chat with others, it's nice to have this little guy to play with.

When Wang Xue asked for her name again, Lin Xiaoxiao finally realized what was happening.

"I'm only responsible for rescuing people, I haven't taken the money yet."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the little guy, but still couldn't decide on a name for him.

What day of the week is it today?

Wang Xue replied, "I glanced at it this morning, and today is Monday."

"Then let's call it Yi Yi?" Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No, that name isn't powerful enough."

"Let's call it Lightning. I think there's a pattern on the back of its head that looks like lightning."

"Lightning? That sounds like a really powerful name."

"I thought you would name it Little Gray or Big Gray, but I've seen people in the village call it Big Yellow or Little Black," Wang Xue said with a smile, touching the lightning bolt.

"My sister's choice of names is just different." No matter what happens, Wang Xue will blindly praise Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao went from being stunned at first to being numb to it now.

After basking in the lightning, Wang Xue and Li Mei realized it was getting late, so they went back together.

Lin Xiaoxiao also started preparing dinner.

She just wanted to make something simple since she was alone.

She took out some meat from her spatial storage, chopped it into small pieces, took out two tomatoes, and also took out a lot of flour from her spatial storage. She mixed it with spiritual spring water to make small lumps, intending to make herself a lump soup.

This time, she boiled a pot of water outside, which was then cooked in her spatial dimension, and she also brought Lightning in with her.

Anyway, no matter how much spiritual spring water this little guy drinks, he won't speak. I'll just let him play here when I go out in the future.

A small pot was used in the space. After heating the pot, a small amount of oil was poured in, and tomatoes were added. The tomatoes were mashed into a paste in the pot, and then minced meat was added and stir-fried in the pot.

When stir-frying, add a small amount of white sugar and some pepper.

Pour in boiling water, and then slowly add the lumps while stirring.

While cooking the noodles, Lin Xiaoxiao beat two eggs and slowly poured them into the soup. After a few seconds, she started stirring. When it was almost done, she added some washed greens, seasoned it, and it was ready to eat.

This dumpling soup is still quite delicious when you eat it occasionally.

After finishing the meal, I handed the dishes to the dishwasher.

Lin Xiaoxiao began organizing the summer clothes she had brought; the weather was now perfect for wearing short sleeves.

Those clothes that will last 28 days in the closet can be put away for now.

After finishing this, Lin Xiaoxiao took out her books and started studying. During the few days Han Qiushi stayed at her house, she slept in the outer room because the kerosene lamp was too dim to read.

I haven't touched a book for many days.

Around 11 o'clock, Lin Xiaoxiao glanced downstairs and saw that the little guy, Lightning, had somehow gotten up on the sofa and was fast asleep, looking extremely comfortable.

Seeing that Shandian was adapting well, Lin Xiaoxiao went upstairs to sleep, embracing her soft bed.

The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao was still cutting pig feed, while Han Qiushi did not board the train, but instead rode in a truck, shuttling through the mountains and forests of Heilongjiang Province.

After handing over the pig feed in the morning, Lin Xiaoxiao changed her clothes, carried a basket on her back, and rode her bicycle to the black market in the county town.

This time, she wanted to sell some of the scattered supplies she had collected from Liu Hai.
