Chapter 018: Fighting for a Great Cause
Some people say this to bluff, but some people may mean it.
"The barking dogs came from that alley." Chen Heng pointed. "I wanted to go in and take a look yesterday, but I was scared and didn't go in."
"It will be broad daylight." It was noon, Xie Jian said.
"It's human nature to be afraid." Chen Heng looked at him calmly. Girls should have a sense of crisis. No matter whether it was the original owner or her, they were both unfamiliar with the place.
At this time, many women came to the pond to wash clothes, and soon the sounds of pounding clothes and chatting were heard on the pier. Until they saw Xie Jian and the other two, they quickly put on tinted glasses.
"Maybe Da Huang is in this alley. Let's go find him." Chen Heng saw that Xiao Xie Min and Xie Jian'er had tense faces, so she pulled them away.
"Da Huang." Little Xie Min shouted.
There were several small doors open in the alley, and people were talking inside.
"Uncle, aunt, have you seen my dog Dahuang?" Little Xie Min asked in a childish voice.
Everyone in the room looked on coldly.
Some people even waved their hands impatiently: "No, no, go away."
Little Xie Min blinked and forced away the tears.
Chen Heng saw it all, but couldn't help. Ordinary people are afraid of murderers, but for the Xie family to bully an orphan, a widow, and a young girl to this extent was too much.
I walked through several alleys but still couldn't find Dahuang.
On the way there, Xie Min was tired and fell asleep on Xie Jian's back.
Thinking about how Xie Jian had been silent most of the time during the search, and it was his nephew who was the one calling out and searching, Shen Heng asked, "Ah Jian, did you know you couldn't find him?"
Xie Jian hummed lightly, "A dog won't stray too far from home. If it doesn't come home for a day, it'll either be locked up or die somewhere."
"Then you still promised Min'er to find a dog?"
"He won't give up unless he looks for it."
"Could it be that Li Dou captured Da Huang?"
Xie Jian walked quietly with his nephew on his back without saying a word.
Chen Heng thought that the dog would be eaten, but she was unwilling to say it out loud. It was too cruel for a child who regarded dogs as friends. If she could never find the dog, perhaps she could still hold on to a glimmer of hope in her heart.
At this time, Xia was looking out the door. Seeing them coming, she went to greet them and took her sleeping son in her arms: "It seems we can't find him." After not seeing him for two days, she probably knew in her heart that Dahuang was gone.
Xie Jian nodded. "The bookstore owner has a terrier. When I go to the bookstore in a few days, I'll ask if they have any puppies. If they do, I'll take one. Then Min'er won't be so sad."
"Okay."
In the next few days, the weather became increasingly cold.
The quilt was replaced with a blanket, and Xia even prepared a hot water bottle for Shen Heng.
Little Xie Min was in good health, but every time he thought of Da Huang, he would cry uncomfortably.
