She put the bamboo basket down and called to Da Hu, "Da Hu, you two watch the basket for me while I go find a place with lots of grass."
"Okay, sister, go ahead."
She walked a little to the west, where there were more rubble that had fallen from the landslide on the mountain, some large and some small, some even bigger than a house.
Lin Qingyan wanted to cross this area to a safer place when she suddenly heard several barks, seemingly coming from the valley ahead.
She was unarmed, and if she encountered a fierce dog, she was afraid of being bitten without using any space, so she instinctively hid behind a large rock.
The barking grew closer, and a few seconds later, she saw a large black dog run quickly across the canyon. Thankfully, the dog probably didn't notice her and didn't run towards her.
But she felt that the dog's size seemed somewhat familiar, just like the one she had seen on the road when she and Lin Zhiheng went to the cowshed that night.
Besides the dog, there was also a person chasing it that day. I wonder if that person will appear with the dog today.
The thought had barely crossed her mind when, in the next second, she saw a figure darting across the canyon, chasing after the dog in the direction it had run.
"It really did appear!"
Lin Qingyan sighed.
There are such strange people who keep chasing a dog.
As the person flashed by, Lin Qingyan seemed to see her face. It didn't seem to be a man, but a woman. Her hair was also gray, so she was an old lady.
It's truly remarkable that an old lady can rival a modern 100-meter sprinter.
Lin Qingyan found this person increasingly strange.
As she was lost in thought, Da Hu quietly came up to her and asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Qingyan came to her senses and decided to ask Da Hu about the strange old lady.
"Big Tiger, I have a question for you. Have you ever seen an old lady who always chases after a dog?"
Da Hu tilted his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and answered Lin Qingyan, "Sister, I know who you're talking about. She's the old lady dog who's 'unrivaled in biting everyone in the village, and all the dogs have to go around her when they see her.'"
"Old woman dog?"
"Yes, because she likes to fight with dogs, we all call her Grandma Dog."
"You mean she'll bite dogs too?"
"Yeah, but even the fiercest dog can't beat her. Those dogs are afraid of her."
Does she bite?
"If anyone is mean to her, she'll hit them. If you don't provoke her, she won't hit them. Granny Dog is very fierce and powerful; no one in the village can beat her. Although she doesn't bite people, she bites dogs, and no dog in the village can out-bite her."
"So amazing. And so bizarre."
Lin Qingyan realized she had been here for almost two months, and this was the first time she had ever heard of such an extraordinary person in the village.
"Da Hu, is this old woman from our Mopan Village?"
"No, she came here a few months ago, but then disappeared after a while. I haven't seen her in ages. Granny Dog is a fool; she doesn't even know who she is. We call her Granny Dog because she likes to chase dogs. Sister, where did you see her just now?"
"Over there," Lin Qingyan pointed to the valley, "I just saw her chasing a dog over there."
“Yes, yes.” Da Hu quickly nodded: “That’s Granny Dog.”
He quickly ran to the valley to take a look, but he couldn't see Grandma Dog, or even a shadow of a dog, so he ran back.
"Grandma Dog and that dog have disappeared without a trace."
"Big Tiger, even if you're not afraid of Granny Dog, aren't you afraid of that dog too?"
Da Hu smiled and shook his head: "As long as Granny Dog is here, the dogs here are very well-behaved and won't do anything to me."
“That old dog is the nemesis of these dogs.” Lin Qingyan and Da Hu discussed the old dog for a while before remembering their main business: “Da Hu, is there no good pig feed over there? Let’s go look for it somewhere else.”
"Come on, sister."
On the other side
Lu Zhengting was already secretly helping the brigade leader investigate the theft of money at the educated youth settlement.
At noon, the brigade leader told the educated youth that if they quietly put the money back, they could let bygones be bygones. If the thief was indeed someone from the educated youth settlement, then putting the money back would easily resolve the matter, minimize the educated youth's losses, and avoid alerting the police.
He didn't openly mention asking someone to help him investigate because he was afraid of arousing the thief's suspicion.
Thieves can be educated youth sent to the countryside, villagers, or people from other villages.
After returning, he followed Lu Zhengting's advice and asked several team leaders to find out about the work situation of the members of each team. Anyone who left the work site for too long during the work period would be listed as a person who needed to be investigated.
There are indeed a few lazy, greedy, and cunning people in their village who don't do any proper work. We should start by investigating these people.
If these people are not suspects, then we can only report them to the police.
When Li Qinqin finished work in the afternoon and was walking home, she ran into her former fiancé, Zhang Shaopeng.
Li Qinqin's face is now almost completely clear of pimples. Not only are pimples gone, but her skin, which was previously tanned by the sun from long hours of working in the fields, has also become fairer.
She was already beautiful with striking features, and after her face became clearer, she looked even better than before she had acne.
When Zhang Shaopeng saw the beautiful girl in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was surprised that there was such a pretty girl in their village. He was unconsciously drawn to her.
But then he suddenly remembered that this girl looked just like someone else—Li Qinqin, the daughter of the brigade leader whom he had broken off his engagement with because of her acne-covered face.
Upon closer inspection, apart from her face being fairer than Li Qinqin's, her facial features were almost identical.
Looking at her height and figure, she is about the same height as Li Qinqin, but her figure is fuller and rounder.
Could this be Li Qinqin?
His eyes widened in astonishment.
When Li Qinqin saw him, she only glanced at him indifferently.
She didn't hate this guy, but she couldn't be friends with him either; she treated him as a stranger.
Zhang Shaopeng was still in a daze when Li Qinqin walked over.
He couldn't believe that Li Qinqin had become beautiful. Just over a month ago, her face was covered with red and purple pimples, making her look like a ghost and disgusting to look at.
Those pimples had been on her face for almost two years, and she had tried many methods without success. It was impossible for them to be completely removed in such a short time, and for her face to become whiter and smoother.
She is an absolute beauty.
