She walked towards Lin Qingyan without even realizing it.
"Girl," she called out to Lin Qingyan as she walked, asking, "Are you alright?"
Lin Qingyan blinked. The old woman seemed to recognize her. Did they know each other? She had no recollection of it at all.
They quickly searched the original owner's memories and found no trace of this old woman.
Her soul had previously split in two, so it was understandable that she had a weaker memory and couldn't remember people and things.
Granny Dog walked up to Lin Qingyan, grabbed her arm, and pressed her face against Lin Qingyan's shoulder, like a child pleading, "Little girl."
Although Granny Dog was filthy, Lin Qingyan felt no repulsion at all being held tightly by her; instead, she felt a sense of familiarity.
The woman in front of her reminded her of her own grandmother from the 21st century.
She was raised by her grandmother from a young age, and the two depended on each other for survival.
This was the first time an elderly woman had held her since her grandmother passed away, and she felt as if the woman was her grandmother.
She reached out and stroked the old dog's head, asking gently, "Grandma, who are you? Do you know me?"
"I don't know her." Granny Dog shook her head honestly, then looked at Lin Qingyan blankly: "I don't know who I am either, girl. Do you know who I am?"
"I...I don't know."
Lin Qingyan suddenly remembered what Da Hu had mentioned about Granny Dog. Looking at Granny Dog now, it seemed that she was mentally unstable or had amnesia.
She smiled at the old woman who owned the dog and said, "Grandma, thank you for chasing the dog away for me."
The old woman waved her hand: "No need to thank me, girl, do you even know who I am?"
“I don’t know, Mother-in-law, I didn’t know you at all before.”
"Then who am I?"
Grandma Dog pouted, looking as if she was about to cry.
Lin Qingyan quickly comforted her: "Don't cry, Grandma. You don't know who you are. Let's think about it slowly, there's no rush."
Grandma Dog nodded, then turned to look at Lin Qingyan, and suddenly smiled again.
She stared at Lin Qingyan's face for a while, then suddenly cupped Lin Qingyan's fair face in her dirty hands. Lin Qingyan did not resist and let her cup and stare at her.
After a while, she finally spoke up and asked the old dog, "Grandma, why are you staring at me like that?"
"You're so pretty," Granny Dog said with a smile.
Lin Qingyan: "..."
That sounds a bit like a scoundrel's remark.
It was noon, and there was no one else on the road except the two of them. Lin Qingyan reached into her pocket, took out a few White Rabbit milk candies from her spatial storage, and stuffed them into Granny Dog's hand.
"Grandma, you just chased the dog away for me, so I'll treat you to some candy."
Grandma Dog immediately took the candy, peeled one, but instead of eating it herself, she held it to Lin Qingyan's lips, her eyes filled with expectation: "Girl, you eat the candy."
Lin Qingyan was surprised by her behavior. The old woman seemed to be out of her mind, so why was she being so nice to her?
The dog-grandmother reminded her of her grandmother from a past life, making her uncontrollably want to get close to this old woman.
"Okay, Mother-in-law, I'll eat."
She opened her mouth and let Granny Dog put the candy in it. Granny Dog immediately laughed: "Good, good, you ate it, you ate it. Sweetie, isn't it sweet, hee hee."
"Mmm, it's sweet. Grandma, you should have some too."
"good."
Grandma Dog peeled another one before putting it in her mouth.
Lin Qingyan wanted to know where Granny Dog lived so she could visit her more often.
"Grandma, have you always lived alone? Do you even know where you live?"
Grandma Dog quickly grabbed Lin Qingyan: "I live here, come here."
She led Lin Qingyan to a haystack. The haystack had a depression, and the ground was covered with messy dry straw. The old woman pointed there and said, "This is my den."
"Home?" Lin Qingyan frowned. "Grandma, do you remember where your hometown is?"
Grandma Dog still pointed to the grassy burrow: "It's right here."
"Grandma, when it gets cold, you won't be able to sleep here anymore." It would be great if we could find a place for Grandma to stay.
The old dog had a blank look in her eyes and didn't speak, probably because she felt that living in this nest was good enough for her.
Lin Qingyan wanted to return to the educated youth settlement, but she found that Granny Gou was holding her hand tightly.
She smiled at the old dog and said, "Grandma, are you reluctant to see me go?"
"Mmm." Granny Dog nodded, looking very reluctant to part with him.
"Alright then, you can come back to the educated youth settlement with me."
When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, she washed Granny Dog's head and face.
Granny Dog grinned happily when she learned that Lin Qingyan was willing to take her along.
When they were halfway there, the dog suddenly darted out again.
"Woof woof woof".
It barked at Lin Qingyan and Granny Dog a few times, and bared its fierce fangs.
Lin Qingyan was instinctively a little scared, but Granny Dog was not afraid of it.
I only saw my mother-in-law run over quickly and kick the dog in the stomach, sending it flying several meters away.
The dog rolled on the ground a few times, no longer daring to provoke them, and immediately abandoned its paws and ran away.
Lin Qingyan suddenly realized that Granny Dog was not only fierce in biting dogs, but when she kicked the dog just now, she almost leaped up, her movements were agile, and she ran quite fast when chasing the dog earlier. Granny Dog must know kung fu, and her kung fu might be quite powerful.
The old woman chased the dog away and returned to Lin Qingyan's side.
"Grandma, do you know martial arts?"
Grandma Dog shook her head, then nodded: "I will hit people."
“Okay, Grandma, let’s go back to the educated youth settlement first. I’ll see your kung fu again later.”
The two walked hand in hand back to the educated youth settlement. Aunt Liu was visiting another house and was on her way home when she saw Lin Qingyan with the dirty and crazy old woman, and immediately curled her lips in disgust.
Then he walked over to them and said to Lin Qingyan, "Little educated youth, what are you doing? This old woman is crazy. She's always fighting with dogs. She might even bite you. You should stay far away from her."
"Hey, look how dirty she is, like she just rolled around in a pigsty. You're all clean, why are you standing so close to her?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and fanned herself in front of her nose, clearly disgusted by the old woman.
Lin Qingyan was afraid that Granny Dog would understand and be saddened, so she quickly grasped Granny Dog's hand and pulled her even tighter.
“Mother-in-law, it’s okay. Don’t listen to her. I think you’re a good person.”
