Chapter 299: Case-Handling Puppy
The terrible barking of the dog made the two people, who had not yet faced each other and seen who the other person was, shift their eyes to the dog.
"Is it injured?" Qin Xiangnuan stepped forward and squatted beside the man.
Judging from the other party's small actions, Qin Xiangnuan didn't think that he meant to harm the small animals, so she was not on guard. After squatting down and turning around, she found that he was indeed not a stranger.
"Third Miss?"
"Old..." It was a mistake. Qin Xiangnuan didn't even know what the sixth old name was.
Lao Liu nodded and said to her considerately, "Miss San, just call me Jiang Liu, and my third brother can be called Jiang San."
"...Okay." Qin Xiangnuan didn't dwell on things that she didn't care about.
"Where did the puppy come from?" Qin Xiangnuan turned her head again.
The puppy in front of him was really too small, no wonder it screamed like that just now. Lao Liu wrapped his hands around it, leaving only its head outside.
Lao Liu put the puppy on the ground and tapped its head with one hand. "I don't know. I only found it when I heard the sound."
"Look at how dirty it is. I'm afraid it has been wandering outside for a few days." Qin Xiangnuan reached out and touched the puppy, rubbing off some of its hair. She could see that the inner part of its fur was pure white.
"Miss San, it looks so pitiful. Can I keep it?" Lao Liu asked cautiously.
Qin Xiangnuan said: "Of course you can."
Lao Liu's eyes suddenly brightened in the darkness.
The puppy seemed to be very cold, and its whole body was shaking, and the shaking was getting worse.
"Let's go back first." Qin Xiangnuan casually covered Lao Liu's hands with the clothes she had just put on when she came out.
When Lao Liu saw this, his eyes narrowed into a line and he stretched out his hand to cover the puppy more tightly.
"Miss San, I just checked and the puppy isn't injured. I should feed it when we get back later," Lao Liu said, his lips curled up. "But it's too small. It can't eat anything, right?"
"Okay." Qin Xiangnuan said, "I'll give it some milk later. You go back and make a little nest for it first."
"Okay!" Lao Liu nodded happily.
The puppy was settled down like this. Perhaps because he was satisfied with food and shelter, he didn't make a single whimper all night.
After waking up the next morning, she hummed softly a few times as if acting coquettishly.
The third brother was closest to the sixth brother, and he heard a strange sound as soon as he stood up.
Following the source of the sound, the third brother's eyes fell on the sixth brother's quilt. After hesitating for a moment, he found a wooden stick from the side.
As soon as he touched the quilt, the sixth brother turned over, causing the third brother to stop moving, but after waiting for a while, the sixth brother stopped moving again, and the strange sound came out again.
This time, the third brother did not hesitate and directly lifted the covering on the sixth brother's body, and was caught off guard by a pair of black eyes.
"Woof!" Without the pressure of the cloth, the puppy shouted at the third child.
The sudden chill made Lao Liu close his eyes and grope for the quilt, but he hit the puppy with one hand, and the dog's cry became a little more miserable.
The third brother was quick-witted and caught the puppy that was about to fall.
Lao Liu was also awakened by this shock.
"Puppy!" The sixth brother suddenly stood up and faced the third brother... with the puppy in his arms.
"Why are you here?" Lao Liu didn't see clearly or didn't want to see clearly in whose arms it was.
"I just dreamed that you disappeared. It turns out you were kidnapped!" Lao Liu muttered, "You must stay by my side from now on. Don't lose me again."
The third child didn't hear what it was saying. Seeing the man, who was not even fully dressed, playing with the puppy, he gently scolded him, "Put it down first and get dressed."
Hearing the voice, Lao Liu raised his head as if frightened, staring at the person standing there and breathing a sigh of relief, "Third brother, I thought it was a bad guy!"
The third brother knocked on the bed with the wooden stick, "Are you still asleep? Do you know where you are?"
"Third brother, I haven't lost my memory." Lao Liu chuckled when he heard that.
"I think it's almost done." The third brother snorted.
By the time Lao Liu had tidied himself and came to the yard with the puppy in his arms, all the Qin family members except the children were there.
Qin Xiangnuan and Qin Guang were also preparing to set off, but the third brother called them over and asked them to go with him.
"Third brother, I'm going too!" Lao Liu hurriedly chased after him.
"You should be more steady." The third brother said the words of blame, but anyone could sense the worry in his eyes.
The third brother had never treated the sixth brother like this before, but it seemed that overnight, there were only two brothers left among them, and the third brother could not help but take on the role of the head of the family and treated his younger brother like a child.
"I know!" The sixth brother didn't have as many ideas as the third brother. He was still the youngest in front of his family.
As he was talking, Lao Liu came closer holding the puppy. Qin Xiangnuan saw the puppy curled up in his arms, still a little dirty.
"Why don't you leave it here?" Qin Xiangnuan said to Lao Liu.
Upon hearing this, Lao Liu slowed down his movements and looked down at his arms.
Because of his action, Qin Guang noticed the existence of something else. He took a closer look and said, "It's too small, but it doesn't matter."
The main reason was that Lao Liu’s reluctance was too strong, so Qin Guang couldn’t help but say something on his behalf.
Qin Xiangnuan also noticed it. She mainly wanted it to have a good rest. She didn't know what kind of troubles it would have to go through when it went out today.
The third brother swept his eyes over several people, and finally turned to Qin Xiangnuan, "Miss Third, I will keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't cause any trouble."
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, let's go together."
"Thank you, Miss Third!" Lao Liu said happily.
At this moment, no one knew that the person who would be of the greatest help to them would be the little dog that was almost abandoned.
As agreed yesterday, they went to Brother Zhang's house first.
"I thought about it for a long time last night, but I still can't remember clearly. It's too dark and I'm far away, so I'm afraid I can't help you." Brother Zhang sighed.
"It's okay." Qin Xiangnuan had anticipated this outcome, so Brother Zhang's words had no effect on her.
Lao Liu was extremely sad. Brother Zhang had just described the thief's appearance, but in the end, all he got was the features of two eyes, a nose and a mouth.
"Is there nothing special about their clothes or posture?" Lao Liu asked.
Brother Zhang shook his head instinctively. He had already thought and said everything, and he couldn't remember it anymore...
"Wait, this seems a little unusual." Brother Zhang suddenly clapped his hands and said to them, "I seemed to hear a dog barking that day."
Brother Zhang frowned, searching for his remaining memories. "But the voice wasn't loud. He just shouted a few times, and then he was chased away by those people."
After saying this, Brother Zhang patted his thigh again, "But it's useless! It's just a beast, it can't help much."
