"Ah..." Xie Daguang screamed in fright and started punching wildly.
The black wolfhound was very strong. It bit his arm tightly and shook him off, scaring Xie Daguang so much that he screamed like a ghost.
"Da Guang is making so much noise, he'll wake Jianguo's wife up," Huo Laowu's wife whispered.
Luo Tianba dropped what he was doing. "What a waste! A dog scared him like that? Good heavens!"
"Cousin Tianba, be careful," Luo Xiangling's voice said.
"Watch closely!" Luo Tianba took the sickle from Huo Jinfeng's hand, strode to the courtyard gate, and the black wolfhound sensed the danger, barked at Luo Tianba, and pounced on him.
Luo Tianba raised his scythe, ready to deal with the black wolfhound.
This large wolfhound had bitten several people before, and many people in the village wanted to kill it and eat it. Today, Luo Tianba was going to eat dog meat.
The black wolfhound moved nimbly, steadily dodging the scythe, and bit Luo Tianba's shoulder.
"Ahhhhh..."
The people working in the field were terrified by Luo Tianba's screams.
"Should we hide?" Luo Tianba's mother asked.
"Look how scared you are! Our Tianba has learned martial arts, how could we not handle a dog?" said Luo Shixiong, the fifth son of the Huo family.
Huo Laowu's original name was Huo Shixiong. Later, the old lady consulted a fortune teller who said that Laowu and Laoqi were destined for great wealth and honor. So the old lady changed her son's surname to hers and named him Luo Shixiong.
"Ahhh... Oh my god... Run!"
From the darkness came Xie Daguang's startled cries.
"Xie Daguang, you traitor... Ah... Help..." Luo Tianba brandished his sickle, took the opportunity to get up and run away, but was pounced on from behind by the black wolfhound and torn apart.
"Little Black!" Song Yinhua called out.
Startled, Luo Tianba scrambled to his feet and stumbled away, while the black wolfhound barked incessantly in the direction they fled.
People in the fields are harvesting rice and bundling it.
Huo Jinfeng, Luo Shixiong's wife, and two daughters-in-law were responsible for cutting the fruit.
Luo Yaozu and Luo Xiangling were responsible for bundling the rice into bundles.
Xie's father and Luo Shixiong were responsible for carrying the bundled rice onto the cart and transporting it away.
The group had a clear division of labor.
Hearing Xie Daguang howling and screaming for his mother, Luo Shixiong's two daughters-in-law couldn't help but laugh. Even Luo Xiangling laughed at Xie Daguang for being a coward, scared out of his wits by a wolfhound.
"Woof woof..."
The black wolfhound ran to the edge of the field and barked at the people in the field.
Luo Shixiong and Xie's father had just loaded a cart full of rice and were about to tie it up with ropes to transport it back when the black wolfhound rushed over, barking.
"You beast, do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Luo Shixiong raised his foot and kicked.
The black wolfhound swiftly and viciously bit Luo Shixiong's crotch, causing Luo Shixiong to scream in pain.
Frightened, Xie's father dropped the rope that was half-tied in his hand and turned to run away.
The people in the field were also frightened.
After the black wolfhound bit Luo Shixiong, it rushed into the field and barked at the people there, scaring them so much that they dropped their sickles and fled for their lives.
The black wolfhound kept barking in the middle of the night, waking up the nearby villagers who realized something was wrong.
When Song Baogen heard the news and came over with a flashlight and several villagers, the people who had stolen the rice had already run away.
"Big sister, are you alright?" Song Baogen asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, Baogen, what brings you here?"
"The villagers heard the dog barking all night and came to my house looking for me." Song Baogen saw a cart piled high with rice on the edge of the field. "Someone really did steal the rice."
“With Xiao Hei here, everything will be fine,” Song Yinhua said.
Do you know who stole it?
"It was too dark, I didn't see them." Song Yinhua did not reveal the names of those people.
"I'll take two days off tomorrow to help you harvest the rice first," Song Baogen said worriedly. "The rice in our village is growing well this year, but it's growing exceptionally well in your field. Other villages are envious. Harvest the rice early so that no one else will covet it."
“Here’s what we’ll do, Baogen. Find some people for me to work on this piece of land, which is about five or six acres. The contract for harvesting and threshing is 20 yuan. You’ll be in charge of supervising the work, and I’ll pay you 10 yuan a day.”
"Big sister, why are you being so formal with me? I'm your own brother, helping you with a small matter is nothing." Song Baogen felt that his older sister was treating him like an outsider, and he was a little angry. "Leave this to me."
As dawn broke, Song Yinhua was greeting customers at her wonton shop in town when Old Lady Huo stormed in, accusing her of letting her dog bite her son and grandson, and demanding compensation for medical expenses and emotional distress.
"Were your son and grandson the ones who stole rice from my field last night?" Song Yinhua asked. "Theft is illegal, I'm going to report it to the authorities right now."
Upon hearing that the matter was going to be reported to the authorities, the old lady became furious and started cursing, chasing away all the customers who had come to eat wontons.
"As long as you pay five hundred yuan, your fifth uncle and the others won't hold this against you." The old lady still acted as if she was the one who suffered a loss. "Your dog has bitten so many people, and many people in the village want to beat it up. If you don't pay, I'll go to the village chief's house and make a scene, and I'll get the village chief to organize people to beat your dog up!"
No matter how much the old lady made a fuss, Song Yinhua didn't budge.
The Luo brothers brought a group of people and smashed up the wonton shop, declaring that she shouldn't do business until she lost money.
Song Yinhua called the authorities and demanded that Luo Tianba compensate for the store's losses and apologize.
The authorities quickly arrested Luo Tianba and his brother, along with a group of people who vandalized the shop.
"It's you again, Luo Tianba!" The officer who answered the call recognized Luo Tianba. "You were only released a short while ago for fighting, brawling, and harassing women, and you're back in already?"
Luo Tianba, just like his name suggests, was a local tyrant.
They did everything: fighting, petty theft, harassment, and molestation.
He gets caught frequently, but he never learns his lesson.
In order to get his two sons out as soon as possible, Luo Shixiong agreed to pay compensation and apologize.
Luo Tianba and Luo Yaozu were detained for three days. After paying compensation and writing self-criticisms, they were released.
The old lady was wronged and was unwilling to accept it.
His most favored son, grandson, and great-grandson were bitten by a dog, but he didn't receive a single penny in compensation. Instead, he spent money on Song Yin, and his two grandsons were even locked up for three days.
The old lady, who hadn't gotten any advantage, was so angry that she went to the wonton shop to make a scene every day. Song Yinhua reported it to the authorities several times, but the old lady was too old and the officials couldn't do anything about her. They could only advise her to stop making trouble.
Knowing that this couldn't go on, Song Yinhua released the black wolfhound to pounce on the old lady when she came to make a scene again.
The old lady was so frightened that she ran away. Song Yinhua deliberately didn't do any business that day and blocked the shop door.
The black wolfhound bared its teeth and lunged at the old woman, tearing at her with its mouth. The old woman was so frightened that she accidentally strained her back and wet her pants.
Song Yinhua called the village store, and the store staff called Luo Shixiong and his son over, and they carried the old lady into the town's health center.
In the ward, the old lady angrily berated Song Yinhua for being inconsiderate and setting the dog on an elderly person.
"Fifth brother, go back to the village chief's house and ask him to find someone to kill and eat the dog that Jianguo's wife keeps!"
"That wolfhound is too fierce, no one dares to touch it!" Luo Shixiong complained. If there were a way, that wolfhound would have been dealt with long ago.
While taking care of the old lady in the ward, Luo Xiangling's eyes lit up. "Auntie, Fifth Uncle, I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work?"
