Hua Yu also came over and helped Hua Li, who had suddenly fainted. He silently picked her up and walked into the house.

Hua Xiao hurriedly followed his second brother and trotted into the house.

Hua Shi, who was standing at the back, frowned, looked at the little white dog that fell in the snow, squatted down, and picked it up with one hand.

The yard was empty and quiet was restored...

Hua Shi did not take the little white dog out of the yard, but walked back to his house.

"Bang……"

"Meow……?"

The sound of the door being pushed open attracted the attention of the black cat who was dozing in the quilt.

It looked towards the door vigilantly, but when it saw a familiar figure, it relaxed and its eyes widened.

Hua Shi walked into the house, put the little white dog on a wooden box beside him, reached out to feel its hind legs, but couldn't feel a pulse.

However, there was still some warmth on its body, and Hua Shi was not sure whether the little white dog could be saved. Without thinking too much, he simply pried open its mouth and poured spring water into it.

Once, twice...

A lot of the spring water that was poured in overflowed from its mouth and flowed everywhere...

“Meow meow meow…?”

The black cat jumped down from the kang bed and watched Hua Shi's movements with curious eyes.

Hua Shi was concentrating on filling the little white dog with spring water. He didn't know how long it had passed, but the spring water had made the entire surface of the box mixed with blood.

"call……"

Hua Shi loosened her grip, then stretched out her fingertips and touched the little white dog's neck.

The neck, which had been limp and drooping, seemed to be healing rapidly. When she reached out her hand again, she seemed to be able to feel the beating pulse on the inside of its hind legs.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see that it has a bulging belly...

Hua Shi's eyes lit up and he exhaled heavily.

Fortunately, it works...

The little white dog must have still been breathing and was saved by the spring water. If it was really dead, its body would probably have been frozen stiff after struggling in the snow for so long.

When she brought it back home, she couldn't feel a pulse or tell if it was still breathing, but its body still retained some warmth...

Anyway, there is still hope...

Hua Shi poured a lot of spring water into the little white dog's mouth until its lower abdomen was slightly bulged, and then she stopped.

He cleaned up the messy box again, wiped the little white dog's dirty and wet hair with a cloth, and put it in the empty bamboo basket next to it.

Judging from its size, this puppy must have just been weaned. It's tiny, even smaller than a black cat...

After drinking the spring water and taking a good sleep, you should be almost fully recovered when you wake up.

After settling the little white dog, Hua Shi came out of the house. The black cat followed behind her, meowing and rubbing against her calves, acting coquettishly, and was particularly clingy.

After a while, Hua Yu and Hua Xiao also came out of the house next door.

Hua Yu glanced at her, walked away without saying a word, returned to the well, and started to deal with the fish swimming around in the wooden basin.

Hua Shi's gaze fell on the little girl beside him and he asked, "Where are my things?"

Hua Xiao pursed her lips, stunned for a moment, and looked at Hua Shi with her eyes fixed, as if she was thinking about something, and then she ran back into the house.

After a while, the sack that had just been stuffed into her hands while carrying the flowers was taken out.

Hua Xiao held the mouth of the bag tightly, stood in front of Hua Shi, and did not hand the things over for a long time.

She tilted her head back, looking at the flowers with complicated eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Where do these things come from?"

Hua Shi looked at her and did not answer her directly, but said, "Don't worry about that."

Hua Xiao tilted her head and snorted softly, "Even if you don't tell me, I know you sold your two pheasants and got this rice and flour in exchange."

Hua Shi nodded without denying it, "How smart! You guessed it right, but there's no reward."

Hua Xiao returned the bag and hummed softly again. He looked at her with a complicated look. Looking at the things that were taken back, he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

She hesitated for a while, looked at her second brother in the yard, lowered her voice and asked,

"Can't you really take my second brother with you? If there's something good, wouldn't it be nice for us to earn it together?"

Hua Xiao was really coveting that bag of rice and flour. He swallowed his dry throat and looked at the flower again and again, with an unconcealable desire in his eyes.

She earned enough rice and noodles from selling pheasants, which was more than what they could earn even if they worked for others in the village for a month...

"Let's talk about it later..."

Hua Shi didn't want to continue discussing this topic with her, so he changed the subject and asked, "What about the two fish in the wooden basin?"

She was asking about the two fish that Hua Yu was gutting and cleaning.

Hua Xiao tiptoed, glanced at the yard, then turned back to look at Hua Shi, her expression somehow showing a hint of anger. "Humph, those are the fish my second brother caught in the pond. He finally managed to catch two, and grandma won't let us eat them. She wants to give them to the person in the east room!"

Hua Xiao said this with a hint of gritted teeth.

"Besides, the surface of that pond will soon be completely frozen, and we won't be able to catch any fish even if we try. These two fish were caught by my second brother and Hua Li after spending an entire morning guarding the pond!"

Hua Xiao was so angry that her eyes turned red as she spoke.

Hua Shi listened and pondered for a moment, "You caught it yourself, why didn't you keep it properly and let her watch it?"

Hua Xiao was even angrier. "It's because... Hua Li brought back a puppy. Even though it looks small, it barks so loudly that it attracted me over. Then, before we could hide our things, I saw everything..."

She was angry and annoyed, but helpless...
