Chapter 35 The Earth is Round and the Sky is Square



The roar made Uncle Wei shrink his neck subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed. He wanted to say that his daughter was not as important as eating meat, but looking at the captain's sullen face and eyes that were almost spitting fire, he could only humbly say:

"Okay then. I'll take her to the barefoot doctor first. Brother Jianguo, remember to leave me a bowl of pickled cabbage and stewed pork bones."

"roll!"

"Why are you so fierce..."

Wei Jianguo sighed. He was not surprised that a man like his uncle gave birth to such an outstanding and righteous man like his cousin.

He was surprised to find that the last two were just there to make up the numbers. Besides being selfish and cold-hearted, they had no other positive qualities.

"Woof woof woof"

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop running around, my old sons! Don't you know how scary you look?"

Li Ruhai didn't keep an eye on them, and the two big dogs broke free from their ropes and rushed out with their tails wagging. He was very scared, thinking that the two were mischievous and causing trouble again.

Who would have thought that the two most obedient dogs on weekdays simply pretended to be deaf today, pretending that they were deaf and could not hear their owner's shouting, and their four paws were fiddling around very quickly.

It smells delicious! I'm so greedy!

When Wei Ci was pounced upon by two big dogs, she was startled and stepped back in fear, thinking she was going to be bitten.

As a result, the two big dogs used their front paws to brake suddenly three centimeters in front of her. Their two pairs of bright dog eyes stared at her, and their big tails almost shook like propellers.

"Huh? The sky is round and the earth is square, you don't even listen to your dad, are you afraid of getting beaten now that your hair has grown thicker? There's actually someone here that you two like? That's bizarre."

Wei Qiang popped up out of nowhere and wanted to reach out and touch the two dogs' heads, but the next second he was warned by their bared teeth and a whining warning sound coming from their throats.

The sky is round and the earth is square?

This name has a Zen connotation.

"Don't underestimate these two dogs because they're thin. They're famous Khitan hunting dogs, and they're quite ferocious. But we still like to call them Mongolian Thin Dogs here, and they're incredibly powerful. Their best record is taking on ten wolves with just two of them. Pretty impressive, huh?"

What Wei Qiang envied and coveted the most were Uncle Hai's two hunting dogs. They were loyal, strong, and fast, and they ran at lightning speed in the mountains.

"It's a pity that they are both male dogs and can't give birth to puppies."

In addition, Uncle Hai never got married in his life and raised these two as his own sons, spoiling them to be lawless. When he was following Uncle Hai to learn skills, he was often bullied by these two big dogs.

As he spoke, he thought of the frustration he had felt in the past. He glanced at the two big dogs with disdain, his eyes clearly accusing them. They couldn't even give birth to puppies, but they only knew how to bully him. What use did he have to them?

Tianyuanfangfang barked twice, showing his canine teeth threateningly, and whined at Wei Qiang.

"Who calls the sky round? Who calls the earth square?"

Wei Ci looked left and right, and couldn't help it. She approached them carefully and reached out to touch their heads.

Unexpectedly, the next second, she received an enthusiastic response from the other party. The dog's tongue licked the back of her hand vigorously, and the saliva on it covered her hand.

"Brother, can our family raise a hound like this?"

Wei Qingfeng looked at the two well-behaved big dogs, then at his sister's big eyes full of longing for love. He wanted to say that these things were very fierce and gluttonous, but when he met Wei Ci's eager gaze, he couldn't bear to refuse her after all.

"Okay, raise it!"

At a time when it is difficult to get enough food, who has extra food to raise a useless animal? Apart from hunters who need to go up the mountain to hunt, there are no more than three families in the entire village who raise dogs.

Wei Ci was overjoyed, her big eyes curved into crescents.

"Second brother is so nice, thank you, second brother."

Wei Qingfeng was satisfied and his back straightened a lot.

Isn't it just raising a dog? At worst, he can go hiking more and catch more rabbits and pheasants. Ah Ci can eat the meat and the dog can drink the soup.

"This Khitan dog is quite hard to find, and purebred ones are even rarer. If you want to get a purebred one, you have to go to the grasslands of several production brigades away. They rely on their dogs for grazing there. As it happens, I have an acquaintance there, and I'll ask for you when I have time."

Li Ruhai walked over slowly and kicked the two big dogs that were clinging tightly to the little girl, but they ignored him completely, which made him very angry.

"Uncle Hai." Wei Qingfeng greeted politely.

"Uncle Hai, you went up the mountain today too? Did you find anything?"

Wei Qiang was excited and reached out to touch the big bow on Li Ruhai's waist, but was slapped away.

"You little bastard, you're trying to take my things again."

"Hey, Uncle Hai, what are you talking about? I'm your apprentice, so your things will all be mine from now on, right?"

He will have to provide for him in his old age, and this is something he has known since he was five years old.

Li Ruhai slapped him on the shoulder, a smile on his dark face. He had no children in his life and only had this one apprentice, and the things really belonged to him.

"Not bad, you can hunt wild boars now. It seems my teaching was not in vain. You did a good job!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wei Ci, his smile deepened. Before he could say anything, he noticed the dog's paws constantly scratching at the bag on his waist. He lowered his head and looked into the two dogs' eyes for a moment. He couldn't help but twitched his eyes.

How should I describe this feeling? It's like raising a son for eighteen years, and then he meets his true love. I can't wait to move all the good things in my house to please him.

"Stop picking at it! I'll take it! I'll take it!"

As he said this, he glanced at the two big dogs with disdain, then turned to look at Wei Ci with a smile on his face.

"Come here, girl, this is what Uncle Hai dug up. Okay, okay, you two dug it up! Stop scratching it!"

Helplessly pulling away the two dogs' claws, Li Ruhai opened the bag, revealing the black fruits wrapped in tree leaves.

“Black wolfberry?”

"Yes, we discovered two black wolfberry plants by accident. These two dogs squatted there every day waiting for them to ripen. Unexpectedly, when they finally ripened, they couldn't even eat them themselves, but they were already thinking about giving them away."

Logically speaking, black wolfberries should not grow here. This thing mainly grows in the west. This is the first time he has seen wolfberries here in all these years, so he finds it particularly strange.

"Here, girl, take it. This is a gift from Tianyuanfangdi for you. Keep it. It's rare for them to like someone so much."

Wei Ci felt a little embarrassed, but she had no choice but to accept it because of the burning gazes from the two dogs.

"Thank you, Uncle Hai. Yeah, and thank you for the roundness of the sky and the squareness of the earth."

"Woo-woof-woof-woof-ow!"

She answered it, she answered it! Can you let them have a taste of that delicious aroma?

Wei Ci understood what the dog meant when she heard the sound. While everyone else was chatting, she focused her attention on the pots of fragrant pig-killing rice and carefully scooped out a little spiritual spring in her palm.

The moment the tongue touched the spiritual spring, the two dogs' tails wagged, leaving afterimages, and the ears were filled with the sound of whistling wind.

Without the annoying person, the atmosphere soon became lively again.

The pig meal was eaten with great enthusiasm. Adults and children alike each had a bowl of stewed pork bones with sauerkraut and a big stew of pork offal. Some took it home and added some vegetables to continue cooking, so that the whole family could enjoy the meal to their heart's content.
