Simple was taken aback by what he said.
"Which dog is mine?"
Jixiang, who came out with us, had just been sent out to deliver messages. Which dog came out again?
She glanced at the two children with a puzzled look, and they both shook their heads. Jian Dan guessed that perhaps Ruyi or Xile couldn't stay in the yard and had run out.
I couldn't help but ask another question.
"Did you see it with your own eyes? Was it pure black, or did it have a streak of white?"
Tan Yajun and Liu Erhong looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What do you mean black and white? Isn't it gray?"
"yes,"
Liu Erhong nodded in agreement.
"It's gray, without a single stray hair, and it's standing right in front of her house."
grey! ! !
Jian Dan felt a sudden "buzz" in her head, and her body swayed. Cheng An quickly reached out to steady her.
"Sister Ya-jun, have you all looked carefully? Are you sure it's gray?"
Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong's faces instantly turned cold. They knew, but that didn't mean the villagers would understand.
Tanya Jun noticed that the others' reactions were a bit off. She lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then suddenly covered her mouth. She had forgotten that all four dogs were black, and suddenly she felt uneasy.
"Ah, then, what about that gray one?"
Liu Erhong didn't even consider the possibility of anything else.
"Does anyone else own a dog?"
They could vaguely hear a commotion ahead, but couldn't hear clearly from here. However, they could see villagers running towards Liu Sanye's house, gesturing wildly. Soon, several soldiers followed them.
Tan Yajun's expression was uncertain, as if she had thought of something, and she widened her eyes to ask Jian Dan for confirmation.
Liu Erhong was still eager to try.
"Hey? What's going on over there? Shall we go check it out?"
The group was speechless; this guy was really carefree.
However, Jian Dan couldn't pretend he knew nothing. Neither the villagers nor the wolf cubs could be considered enemies yet.
At Grandma Liu's doorstep, the old woman resorted to her old tricks again, trying to make a scene and get the young soldier to ransack her house. The incident had just happened, and their captain was still asleep. The young soldier loathed her; if it weren't for her status, he might have beaten her up several times over.
They all stood to one side with grim faces. The villagers were mostly understanding, after all, the other party had risked their lives to help them rebuild their homes, which was genuine.
Especially on the first day, Liu Weimin's boasting about their behavior of eating freeze-dried rations rather than competing with the villagers for meat soup made it known to everyone. Over the past two days, these young soldiers have been covered in bruises, which they have all witnessed. No matter what, they cannot be unreasonable and further hurt the feelings of the villagers.
Just as the old woman was throwing a tantrum, the wolf cub quietly approached, stood in front of her, and looked down at her. The old woman let out a "howl" and was so frightened that she wet herself.
When the few people arrived, the two sides were facing off. On one side were the imposing wolf cubs, and on the other side, the old woman who had caused the trouble had already hidden behind the young soldier in fear. Several villagers who were watching the scene, as well as Liu Weimin, who had rushed over, and the militiamen, were all very nervous. Old Han was still holding a homemade gun in his hand, and judging from his posture, he was ready to take action at any time.
Indeed, after living at the foot of the mountain for so many years, how could they not tell the difference between a wolf and a dog?
The young soldiers had clearly never seen anything like this before, but they still tried to remain calm and stood in front of the villagers.
It's very quiet now.
Seeing them approach, the wolf cub slowly turned around, startling Liu Weimin and the others, which broke the tense atmosphere.
"Xiao Jian, don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer! Back up!"
The old woman underground seemed to have found an outlet, and suddenly burst into loud sobs.
"Go find them, that money-loser is tender and delicious, whatever you do, don't come looking for me."
Do you want to eat meat? She has meat at her house. Go find her; she has meat at her house...
"I have nothing left! God, this is driving me to my death!"
"Shut up, is that something a human being should say?"
Liu Weimin was so angry his forehead throbbed. Although the villagers didn't dare to say anything, their eyes were full of condemnation and disapproval. It's fine if you want to save your life, but what are you doing with this person? Just a few days ago, this person saved the lives of the whole village by hunting wild boar.
Simple remained unmoved, but the two children couldn't hold back any longer.
"You're the one who's a waste of money, you ungrateful wretch! You eat the flesh that my sister risked her life for, and you still say such things. If I had known you were this heartless, I shouldn't have saved you."
Enraged, he found a rather large rock and threw it at the old woman.
After glancing at the expressions of those around him, Cheng An calmly continued the conversation.
"snort!
Brother, you really overestimate her. Who does she think she is?
"If it weren't for the fact that the grandparents, uncles, aunts, and other women in our Liujiatun village are truly good people, and that the village head and cadres are wholeheartedly working for the benefit of the people and the collective, would I have gone to such lengths, hunting wild boars and trying every possible way to help everyone earn more money?"
Ling Weidong and Lin Dongfang exchanged a glance and quietly took a step back.
Cheng Rui's eyes darted around, and then he suddenly realized.
"Oh, I see, Second Grandma. No wonder this big dog doesn't like you. It turns out you're the only one in our village who's heartless."
The villagers looked at each other, not really wanting to refute what the other said.
Although the authorities have repeatedly warned against engaging in feudal superstition, some things are ingrained in one's bones, subconscious. Cheng Rui's words, however, left people speechless. His wolfish demeanor, while uncertain of his attitude towards them, clearly indicated that he disliked the old woman.
