The dog owner smiled and explained, "You see these two puppies, they were born to my big dog. He didn't want to be separated from his puppies, so if anyone wants to buy my dog, they have to buy all three of them!"
Su Nian blinked. She had never expected that this dog was so loyal and his owner was also so loyal.
Chu Beichen smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to buy all three dogs. I'm just worried that this big dog will be disobedient and difficult to train!"
The dog owner patted the black dog's head lovingly and said, "No, if you hold the black panther's child in your arms, she will treat you as her master!"
Only then did Su Nian discover that the extremely brave big black dog was actually a female dog.
Chu Beichen nodded. Since he wanted to exchange for a living thing, his offer was not low. He directly took out ten sugar cubes and asked for exchange.
The dog owner agreed readily, and then told Chu Beichen some tips on raising dogs. It can be seen that he likes this black panther very much.
Chu Beichen agreed to everything, handed all the sugar cubes to the dog owner, and then reached out to pick up the small bamboo basket.
The black dog immediately looked nervous.
The dog owner hugged the dog's head and muttered something to her for a long time.
Seeing that Chu Beichen had put the small bamboo basket on the sled, the black dog licked its former owner as if it understood human nature, then jumped onto the sled and stood beside the two puppies.
Chu Beichen pulled the sled away, and the black dog never jumped off the sled again, but just looked at its master reluctantly.
Su Nian was very satisfied with this market trip. They exchanged knives, buckets, wooden basins, and dogs, which were the things they needed most.
The two men changed direction and walked towards the other end of the market. The place where they agreed to meet with the bearded village chief was at the exit of the market.
The exit of the market is also the entrance. When I first arrived, there were not many people here, but now it is crowded with people. I heard a lot of noise inside and it was quite lively. It was obvious that a dispute had occurred.
Su Nian and Chu Beichen squeezed into the crowd and took a look, and found that the thin widow was arguing with a man.
It turned out that in order to help the thin widow find a long-term meal ticket, the bearded village chief brought her to the market.
The thin widow was not too picky. She thought that as long as there was a man willing to support her through the winter, it would be fine. However, she didn't expect that there were many men who wanted to find a partner, but no one was interested in her.
After being looked at by so many people, the thin widow was shy and anxious, so she just blackmailed a man.
The man didn't know what he saw in the thin widow, but he circled around her twice. Before they could even discuss terms, the thin widow grabbed him and said, "Don't you know how to behave? You're touching me without even discussing terms with me! No, you have to take me home!"
The man hadn't realized what kind of person the thin widow was, and he raised his hands in panic, "There must be a misunderstanding here, I didn't touch you!"
The thin widow insisted that the man had groped her.
The Cedar Forest allows men to keep several women, but the prerequisite is that the women must be willing to follow him, and as long as a man has sex with a woman, he must be responsible for the woman.
Over time, this custom spread, and male hunters in this area would consciously abide by this rule.
As for the touching that the thin widow mentioned, it is actually not within the scope of responsibility, but men are more or less gentlemanly in front of women, so there are many people who are willing to give justice to the thin widow.
Someone advised the man that since he had done it, he should take responsibility, otherwise why did he touch her?
The man felt wronged and wanted to cry.
Just when the scene was in chaos, a childish voice suddenly said, "I saw that this uncle didn't touch her!"
It turned out that next to the women waiting to sell their goods, there was a stall set up by two children. The stalls of these two children were full of some bean-like plant fruits. Because they were too small, no one noticed them.
Seeing someone testify for the man, the onlookers immediately turned their condemnatory gazes to the thin widow. They blamed her for lying, and the man who was almost wrongly accused slipped away quickly. He was afraid that if he said a few wrong words, this ugly and thin woman would get attached to him again. What would he do?
At some point, the bearded village chief also came to Chu Beichen's side. He looked at the scene with great worry, "This is the end. It seems we have to take Xie Na back. After all, she is also a villager of Donghuo Village!"
Su Nian and Chu Beichen both shook their heads. They really disliked Xie Na's personality. However, what the bearded village chief said was right. If no one took care of this lazy Xie Na in this heavy snow, she would definitely starve to death.
The weather changed again on the way back. Chu Beichen was driving the sled very fast and soon surpassed the old village chief.
Su Nian was worried that the strong wind and snow would freeze the puppies, and was also afraid that the puppies would fall off. As soon as she got on the sled, she untied her fur vest and held the two puppies in her arms.
Seeing Su Nian do this, the black dog seemed very pleased, and sensibly lay down beside Su Nian's legs and snuggled up to her.
They ran all the way back home, and as for Xie Na, they let the bearded village chief figure out a way to get her.
As soon as he came back, Chu Beichen immediately drove the sika deer into the barn. The four sika deer had run outside twice and frozen in the snow for half a day. The sweat on their bodies had turned into snow particles and stuck to their fur.
Chu Beichen first used a brush to brush off the snow particles, and then used old animal skins to rub the bodies of these elk to dry their wet fur.
You know, Chu Beichen and Su Nian once ran a horse farm, so he naturally knew how to take care of these animals.
After drying the sika deer's body, Chu Beichen cleaned the barn and fetched some warm water for the sika deer, fawn and calf to drink.
By the time he finished these tasks, most of the day had passed.
The aroma of food wafted out from the cabin. It seemed that Su Nian had not rested either. She must be preparing dinner for the two of them.
It was already around three or four in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually getting dark. Under normal circumstances, it would be dark in the cedar forest around five-thirty in the afternoon.
Chu Beichen had just arrived in the yard when a large, dark cloud suddenly drifted over, blocking out the remaining light. In the blink of an eye, the sun vanished without a trace, and the wind blew in gusts, each one stronger than the last, until even the sound turned into a roar.
The wind and snow began to ravage the cabin in the cedar forest. Balls of white ice and snow hit the windows fiercely. The blizzard began again.
"Oh my God, this is coming too fast, isn't it?" Chu Beichen couldn't help but complain. He quickened his pace and walked into the cabin, bringing in a gust of cold wind and snowflakes.
The wind was already very strong at this time, and Chu Beichen needed to use some strength to close the wooden door.
