It was not until the third day that Liu Xiaoyu realized that Dahuang was missing.
She had raised this dog since it was young. Half a year ago, the dog accidentally got lost in Qinghe County and wandered all the way to Yushudun, where it was captured alive by a couple who owned many dogs and then sold to Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei liked this dog very much, and after several rounds of negotiations with Liu Xiaoyu, he finally got the custody of the dog.
Unfortunately, when his master Lin Qinghe went up the mountain to collect herbs, he lost his life in the mountains.
Upon hearing the sad news, Liu Xiaoyu burst into tears, her heartache was so severe that even a hundred dogs could not make up for it.
Even though she was holding a little wolf cub in her arms at the moment, she still cried as if a family member had died.
"My Da Huang...you died so miserably!"
"Zhao Wei, you bastard... What did you promise me in the first place? Is this how you take care of Da Huang?"
"Why wasn't you the one who died? You were with me, Da Huang...ah——"
"You harmed Da Huang, I'm going to kill you... bastard... wuwuwu..."
…
She cried with tears and snot, just like a shrew venting her anger, scolding Zhao Wei so much that he couldn't even raise his head.
Yunxiu also started crying and consoled him, "Liu Zhiqing, we didn't expect this to happen. Dahuang is our most loyal companion, and no one wants him to die."
"Really, at that time... it was such an accident. There were so many wild wolves, we had no choice... You... please accept my condolences!"
She couldn't explain clearly how Dahuang died. At that time, several forest hunters died in the incident. This matter couldn't be disclosed casually. Otherwise, if the people from the forest farm came looking for them, they would be in big trouble.
Everything was blamed on the wild wolves. It was their appearance that made things out of control.
"If you really want to blame someone, blame me, don't blame my man. His legs haven't healed yet. If you don't believe me, you can take a look..."
It was the first time that Yunxiu revealed Zhao Wei's leg injury to others.
He had kept this a secret from his family. When he was walking or doing other things, he tried his best to act as if nothing had happened, for fear that they would worry.
In order to appease the collapsed Liu Xiaoyu, he could only resort to this self-torture tactic.
The sutures on the wound on the calf have not been removed yet, and there are black scar marks.
At this rate of recovery, we will have to wait another three to five days until the wound heals better before the stitches can be removed.
"You see, it was a close call. We almost fell into the icy lake and froze to death. Really, if it weren't for Da Huang, we might not have come back alive."
"We are heartbroken after losing Da Huang... wuwu..."
Yunxiu was originally crying quietly, but now she couldn't help crying as she got emotional. She choked up and said, "If you really want to blame someone, blame me. I'm the weakest among the three of you. If I hadn't held you back, this wouldn't have happened..."
Liu Xiaoyu looked at the hideous wound on Zhao Wei's leg. Although she felt sad, she could no longer utter words of accusation.
There are unexpected changes in the weather, and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.
Now that things have happened, what else can I do?
To be fair, if she was in trouble, Da Huang would also try his best to save her!
She took a deep breath and sobbed, "Where is it buried? Can I go see it?"
Zhao Wei sighed and said, "That place is more than ten hours away from here. When the weather gets warmer and I am better, I will find a chance to take you there!"
Delay it as long as possible.
The dead bodies of those hunters were still lying there, and no one knew whether they had been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.
If I go now, I'm afraid I'll scare the shit out of this young lady.
He had already washed the shitty pants for his silly cousin Liu Qian once, and he didn't want to do it again.
Lin Zhiqing, who lived with them, waited until their emotions calmed down before stepping forward to act as a peacemaker.
"It's not a big deal, look, it's so unpleasant."
"Let's study the production tasks for the beginning of spring. We don't know which team we will be assigned to."
After that, he curiously asked Zhao Wei: "Brother Zhao, which team do you think will have an easier job for us?"
Then he touched the back of his head sheepishly, smiled like a fool and said, "You know, we have never done farm work and know nothing about life in the countryside."
During these two days, they were only concerned with getting familiar with the village. They were relatively relaxed and had no idea what a cruel test was waiting for them.
The village has already started planning to build a compound for the educated youth, and they will move in in a month or so.
There will be no good days then.
Here with Zhao Wei, at least they have meat for every meal, and their life is more comfortable than when they were in the county town.
However, once you leave, you have to earn food with your own hands, which is a rather difficult thing.
The land in the village is limited, and the grain produced is not enough to feed the villagers. Now that there are five more educated youths to feed, naturally we have to find a way to reclaim the land.
As the weather gets warmer day by day, the horn for spring plowing has begun to sound.
On the fifth day after these educated youth were sent down to the countryside, the commune used a loudspeaker to call on all villagers to hold a spring farming production meeting on the day of the Beginning of Spring.
There was a rumor that the commune president was going to be replaced, and the captains of the four production brigades were also going to be replaced.
This is the most important event for Yushudun at the beginning of the year. Many people are working hard to get this position.
As a result, the village suddenly became active, and many people who met the requirements secretly ran around from household to household to canvass votes for themselves.
Seven or eight groups of people also came to Zhao Wei's home. Some of these people brought benefits, which were some worthless dried wild vegetables, and some brought painted cakes. As long as Zhao Wei's family voted for them, they would be assigned easier jobs in the future.
Zhao Wei naturally rejected these things.
As for the response, just stay out of it. There are more than a thousand people in the village anyway, and no one cares about the few votes they get.
Liu Xiaoyu and Lin Zhiqing naturally looked down upon this kind of backdoor dealings, and they spoke out directly at that time, asking them to learn to compete fairly and not to engage in these crooked practices.
I educate every newcomer who comes, and I don't feel tired. I'm just too bored.
They speak with great righteousness, but they have no idea how offensive such behavior is.
Zhao Wei also wanted to remind the two of them not to offend the people in the village, so as to avoid being bullied by them.
Liu Xiaoyu relied on the fact that she had a father from a county town and had no taboos. She also mocked him for being timid and having no manliness at all.
