Jiang Wanwan walked to the oxcart and nimbly climbed onto the shaft. With a light flick of the whip, the ox continued towards Dashui Village.

She turned her head to see which direction the dog was going, but to her surprise, the big dog was also going in that direction.

Jiang Wanwan chuckled, not thinking too much about it, assuming that the dog's home was also in this direction.

She turned back and focused on driving the ox, her feet swinging gently on the cart shaft, looking extremely relaxed.

About fifteen minutes later, the big dog crept up beside the oxcart, tilted its head, opened its wet, shiny black eyes, and pitifully barked, "Woof, woof."

Hearing the familiar barking, Jiang Wanwan subconsciously looked down and found that the big dog was still there!

Fifteen minutes have passed, why is the dog still walking in this direction?

Could it be that this dog belongs to the villagers of Dashui Village?

She hesitated for a moment, or perhaps the dog had followed her?

To verify this conjecture, Jiang Wanwan pulled on the reins, stopping the ox from moving.

As soon as the oxcart stopped, the dog actually stopped too.

Jiang Wanwan raised her whip and spurred the ox forward.

The dog even followed along.

After trying this several times, the result was the same. However, she angered the good-natured ox, which mooed loudly in place, as if it wanted to kick up its tail.

Jiang Wanwan finally calmed down. This time she was certain that the big dog wanted to go home with her.

She climbed off the oxcart, bent down slightly, and stretched out her paw to the dog. "If you want to come home with me, put your paw on me."

The dog opened its bright black eyes, as if it understood her words, and indeed placed its dirty, black front paw on Jiang Wanwan's hand.

A glint flashed in Jiang Wanwan's eyes as she smiled and said, "Since you're following me, from now on, your name will be Wangcai."

"Wangcai!" Jiang Wanwan called out.

"Woof?" The big dog drooped its head and barked weakly.

Wangcai, that sounds awful!

It doesn't want to be called that!

Jiang Wanwan smiled gently and affectionately ruffled its hair. "Hehe, it seems you like this name too. Wangcai, Wangcai!"

Wangcai: ......

Which eye saw that it liked this rustic name?

Well, since I saved it, I'll let it bark a few times.

"Woof~"

"Woof~"

Jiang Wanwan thought that Wangcai hadn't fully recovered from heatstroke, which was why it was barking weakly. She considered herself very considerate and carried Wangcai onto the oxcart, then found a straw hat to shield it from the sun.

She gently patted the dog's big head and said, "Wangcai, I'll take you home now."

Wangcai lay listlessly on the oxcart, his eyes tightly closed, completely covered by a large straw hat.

Walking on a deserted road, Jiang Wanwan opened the floating panel in front of her, switched to the store, and bought dozens of kilograms of materials for making mosquito coils, such as realgar powder, dried tangerine peel powder, and elm bark powder.

After thinking for a moment, she bought five pounds of pork ribs, ten pounds of pork belly, and two old hens from the mall.

My family has been busy making mosquito coils lately, which is also a physically demanding task. I'll buy some meat to treat them.

Finally, Jiang Wanwan spent a few yuan to buy a large bag of maltose.

My older brothers love sweets, so I bought some to make them happy too.

Wangcai stared blankly at the unexpected thing in front of him with his bright black eyes, then barked in shock, "Woof?"
