After arriving at the county town, Li Xiyue inquired about the location of the newspaper office, found a deserted place, took out his bicycle from the space, and rode there.

"Comrade, I am an educated youth who went to the countryside from Yonghe County. I want to publish a piece of news. Here is my letter of introduction." Li Xiyue took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the comrade from the newspaper.

After the comrade from the newspaper took the letter of introduction and checked it for accuracy, he handed her a piece of paper and asked her to write down the general content of the article to be published in the newspaper.

She published an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties and asked her colleagues at the newspaper to send her a copy when the time comes.

Then he went to the post office and sent a letter to Grandma Zhang and Liu Chunmei, telling them about his situation and reassuring them. He also bought some local specialties and sent them back as a return gift.

After finishing the work, Li Xiyue took the bus back to the commune.

It took four hours to go back and forth, and it was almost dark. Li Xiyue took out the bicycle from the space and rushed to the production team.

When they were almost at the village, Xiaobai said someone was following her.

Li Xiyue asked, "Who is it?"

"A drunk man, Yueyue, he wants to take advantage of you." Xiaobai was very angry.

Li Xiyue thought to herself, isn’t this a good opportunity?

She released Xiaobai from the space and let Xiaobai hide and wait for an opportunity to act.

Of course, it was dark, and Xiaobai was completely black, so he didn’t need to hide. He just had to stand still and no one would be able to find him.

Li Xiyue deliberately slowed down her cycling speed, and the drunk man behind her really caught up with her and blocked her way.

"Little girl, you are very brave to travel alone at dark." The drunk man was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an unshaven beard and dirty and torn clothes. He looked very sloppy.

As soon as he got close, a foul odor came out, a mixture of alcohol and sweat, which was nauseating.

Li Xiyue took a few steps back and pretended to be scared. "Comrade, what are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? There's no one around, just the two of us. How about you keep your uncle company and have some fun?" The drunk burped and laughed obscenely.

Li Xiyue couldn't stand the smell, and didn't want to talk to him, so she called out softly, "Xiaobai."

"Woof woof woof..." Xiaobai received the order and jumped up and pounced on the drunk.

The drunk was already dangling on his feet, and the force of the attack sent him careening backwards. He cursed in pain, "Where did this stray dog ​​come from? Go away, you beast!"

Xiaobai bit his arm and waved his claws at his face, "Woof woof woof..."

Li Xiyue heard Xiaobai say, "I told you to go after Yueyue, but you, a toad, still want to eat swan meat? I'll bite you to death!"

Where did Xiaobai learn these swear words?

But it is true that a toad wants to eat swan flesh.

She sat on the bicycle, watching Xiaobai bite the drunkard until he cried for his parents, and she felt so happy in her heart.

"Li Zhiqing, is that you? What happened?" At this time, a man came running from the village entrance, and his voice sounded like Xu Xiangyang.

Li Xiyue hurriedly asked Xiaobai to stop, and waited for the others to come over before telling them everything. After she finished speaking, she pretended to be scared, with a hint of relief in her tone, "Luckily, a dog suddenly ran out and saved me, otherwise..."

Night was falling and the moon had not yet risen, so the expression on Xu Xiangyang's face could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. He rushed forward and beat up the drunk without saying a word.

"You're so bold as to dare to bully the people of Xujia Village!"

The drunk was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again, please stop beating me, ouch, it hurts so much..."

Xu Xiangyang didn't stop at all, and his punches became faster.

Li Xiyue didn't expect Xu Xiangyang to have such a strong sense of justice. She saw him fight twice in one day, and both times he killed people.

Fearing that he might kill someone, he quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Comrade Xiangyang, please don't kill anyone."

It's not worth it to kill someone and ruin yourself for such a scum.

Xu Xiangyang withdrew his hand and shouted angrily: "Get out! If you dare to come to Xujia Village again, I will kill you!"

The drunk man didn't care about the pain and ran away crawling.

"Are you okay?" Xu Xiangyang asked, shaking his sore fist.

"He didn't get close to me." Li Xiyue shook her head, squatted down and stroked the black dog on the ground, "Thanks to this black dog for showing up in time."

Xu Xiangyang only saw a dark shadow swaying, and couldn't make out what it was. He asked, "Why are you doing this so late?"

Doesn’t she know how dangerous it is for a girl to walk at night?

"I went to the county and came back so late." Li Xiyue pushed the cart towards the village. "Why are you here?"

"I'm too full, so I came out to digest the food."

Li Xiyue didn't suspect anything and turned around deliberately, then said in surprise: "Dog, why are you still following me? Go home quickly."

Xiaobai came to her, wagging his tail, and was very affectionate.

The man and the dog work together very well.

The moon slowly came out, and Xu Xiangyang could barely see anything. He saw the black dog clearly, "This dog is probably a stray dog. It doesn't even have a collar around its neck."

If it is a domestic pet, it will usually have a collar. Even the poorest family will tie a straw rope around its neck to indicate that it has an owner.

"It has no home? It saved me and is my savior. Why don't I just take it back to the educated youth site." Li Xiyue said deliberately.

Xu Xiangyang asked: "Are you going to keep it?"

"Is it not possible?"

She saw that some people in the village also kept dogs, so she thought it should be possible to keep one, right?

"It's not impossible, but raising a dog requires a lot of food." Then he thought that she probably didn't lack food, so he said, "If you want to raise a dog, then raise one."

She is a beautiful girl, and it would be safer for her to have a dog around.

Li Xiyue was very happy, "Dog, that's great, you have a home, and I have a companion too."

"Let's give you a name. What should we call you?" Li Xiyue pretended to think, "You're so dark, why not call me... Xiaobai?"

Xu Xiangyang: “…”

A black dog named Xiaobai?

Her name is quite novel.

What was strange was that the black dog was actually very happy. It kept wagging its tail and barking excitedly a few times, as if it liked the name very much.

Tsk, the people are curious, and the dog is curious too.
