Gu Changsong, with his keen sense of observation, stepped forward, took the matchbox, picked up a match, and lit it with a flick of his wrist.
He brought the fire close to Fourth Master's pipe, and Fourth Master took a few puffs, then took the pipe and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
When he opened his mouth, his teeth, which were yellowish or even black, confirmed that Fourth Master was a heavy smoker.
"Fourth Master," Gu Yunyang greeted him.
Fourth Master nodded, glanced at Gu Changsong, then looked closely at Gu Yunyang before asking, "Why are you here at this time?"
He had obviously also noticed the insulated box in Gu Yunyang's hand; such things were not commonly seen here.
Although I don't know what it is, I do know its purpose.
Gu Yunyang looked at Gu Changsong and asked him to introduce himself.
Gu Changsong nodded, looked at Fourth Master, and said, "Fourth Master, this is Gu Yunyang from the capital. He's from...he heard that Fourth Master's family had a litter of puppies, so he wants to take two back with him. What do you think?"
Fourth Master looked up at Gu Yunyang, who smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
Gu Changsong's repeated slips of the tongue told him that the other party probably wanted to reveal his true identity.
But Gu Yunyang didn't want to admit it.
So he didn't respond.
"Fourth Master, I'm an educated youth from the capital. Well, I'm not considered an educated youth anymore, I've settled in our village."
Gu Yunyang spoke, but did not acknowledge his identity as a member of the Gu family.
"I was thinking that there are supposedly wild boars on this mountain. We're living in the educated youth settlement, and I'm planning to build my own house later. Isn't that unsafe?"
I was thinking of bringing two dogs home. I heard from Gu Changsong that Fourth Master used to be a hunter and his dogs were the best Wu Hei dogs.
So I want to take two of them home to raise as guard dogs.
Here, I brought you some pork bones. I chopped them up; you can drink the marrow.
In addition, I brought you a pound of pork belly. Also, I can give you two yuan for each of the five black dogs.
"Oh, by the way, two of the female educated youth from our settlement are also planning to build their own houses and would like to adopt a black dog from you. They'd give you two yuan for that, would that be alright?"
Gu Yunyang had already seen it. When he came over, a female dog was already standing at the door, staring at him menacingly.
Despite his attempt to communicate using his beast-taming ability, the other party remained somewhat wary.
The Five Black Dogs truly lived up to their name.
Especially the one that Fourth Master raised, although it had just given birth, you could see that its fur was very smooth and shiny.
It's very big, about the height of a four or five-year-old child.
The dog has a very well-proportioned body, which is probably due to its muscles.
That is, the belly sinks slightly, because of breastfeeding.
It's a good dog.
Fourth Master carefully examined Gu Yunyang, then looked back at his own dog and chuckled, "You're not bad, kid. My Black Star is the most famous dog for miles around. My dogs have always been the best; they used to help me hunt and support this old man."
Well then, I think Black Star likes you quite a bit too.
You can take two dogs home, but you have to treat my dogs well.
Also, those two female educated youths can take one back with them, but they can only take one.
Black Star had four puppies in this litter, two males and two females. I need to keep one female and raise her to have more puppies.
Take the other three back with you; you can decide how to divide them yourselves.
Fourth Master also knew that this educated youth from the capital was not short of money.
The puppies were born to their own family, who had no children of their own and were not well-off.
It's impossible to raise them all.
No one in the village wanted it, so they decided to give it to Gu Yunyang; at least that would guarantee he could be raised to adulthood.
The food might actually be quite good.
Gu Yunyang quickly stepped forward, gave the insulated box to Fourth Master, took out six yuan, and then took out a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes from his crossbody bag and stuffed it into Fourth Master's hand.
Fourth Master was very satisfied. He picked up the Daqianmen cigarette and said with a chuckle, "It's still Double Happiness, but I'm used to smoking this dry tobacco. It's a waste of yours."
