As soon as this thought came to his mind, Yu Bai couldn't wait any longer.
The situation on Han Yi's side is urgent. The sooner he gets help, the safer he will be.
She immediately decided to go to Ma Juaner's house to ask about the puppy.
Before leaving, Yu Bai squatted down and looked at the two puppies seriously:
"Zhaocai, Laifu, we are going to do something very important now. Be good on the way. No barking or running around, okay?"
These two local dogs are naturally human-like. After experiencing the baptism of mutation in the spirit gathering array, their intelligence far exceeds that of ordinary dogs.
As soon as Yu Bai finished speaking, Zhaocai and Lai Fu both made a "Woo" sound, as if they understood, and rubbed her palms obediently.
Yu Bai smiled with relief and opened the gate.
As soon as the man and two dogs stepped out of the door, a strange scene happened.
Lai Fu was the first to take the lead, trotting to the front and looking around vigilantly.
Zhaocai followed Yu Bai slowly, looking back from time to time, and stayed behind steadily.
Yu Bai was amazed at what she saw. She had never taught them this.
I don't know how these two little guys communicated and discussed, but they spontaneously formed such a small guard formation.
The dirt road in the countryside was bumpy and the moonlight was so bright that one could barely see the road surface.
Lai Fu, who was walking in front, kept his ears perked up and his eyes sharp.
Passing by a paddy field, a frog was startled in the grass beside the ridge and jumped into the water with a "splash", splashing a small amount of water.
Lai Fu immediately stopped, growled in the direction of the sound, and made a threatening grunt in his throat. After confirming that there was no other unusual movement, he continued to move forward.
The lucky charm at the back is no less impressive. It will stop after walking a few steps, and turn its head alertly to glance behind it. It looks so serious, as if it is afraid that someone or something will follow it quietly.
Yu Bai was amused by the professionalism of the two little guys, and felt both touched and amused.
These are not just ordinary local dogs, they are two experienced little bodyguards.
The night road was silent, with only the sounds of their footsteps and the chirping of insects.
Soon, the outline of an orchard could be vaguely seen in front of us. That was the land of Ma Juaner's family.
Before they got close, a burst of slightly anxious dog barking came from deep in the orchard, breaking the tranquility of the night.
"Woof! Woof!"
Hearing the sudden barking of the dog, Zhaocai and Lai Fu stopped almost at the same time, their muscles tensed, and low warning sounds came out of their throats, as if facing a great enemy.
But they still remembered Yu Bai's instructions and resisted the urge to bark in response immediately.
The barking of the dogs in the garden continued several times, seeming to be getting closer. Zhaocai and Laifu listened attentively, their vigilance gradually relaxing, replaced by a sense of eagerness and excitement.
The two puppies looked at each other, their tails wagging unconsciously, and the whimpering in their throats also took on a joyful tone.
Yu Bai saw it and understood it.
Zhaocai and Laifu were very familiar with this voice - it was the cry of their mother.
It seems that they recognized their mother.
But soon, someone came out of the house.
Yu Bai also hurried and put Zhaocai and Lai Fu into the space.
After mutation, these two little guys are much larger than ordinary puppies. If Ma Juaner sees them, she will have to spend a lot of time explaining.
Almost at the same time, a dazzling beam of flashlight lit up from the depths of the orchard and swept straight towards this side. A slightly hoarse female voice asked loudly.
"Which one? What are you doing hanging around out here so late at night?"
"Sister Juan'er, it's me." Yu Bai responded loudly.
The flashlight paused, then moved quickly over.
Soon, a figure in pajamas and a coat walked quickly out of the orchard fence gate. It was Ma Juaner.
"Oh, it's Xiaobai!"
When Ma Juaner saw that it was Yu Bai, the vigilance on her face immediately turned into enthusiasm.
"It's so late, why are you here? Come in, come in!"
As she spoke, she opened the gate and asked with concern, "Is there something urgent?"
Ma Juaner had a smile on her face, but she was wondering in her heart: "Could it be that they need more fruit? It's only been a day, and the batch was just taken away yesterday."
Yu Bai was so smart that he saw through Ma Juan'er's doubts at a glance. Without pointing it out, he just went with the flow and said:
"It's a bit urgent, Sister Juan'er. I need a batch of watermelons urgently, and I need them by tomorrow at noon."
This is not entirely an excuse.
It’s a hot summer at the end of the world, and watermelon can quench thirst and cool down the body. Han Yi and the others definitely need it.
It never hurts to have more on hand.
When Ma Juaner heard that it was a business opportunity, her eyes lit up and the smile on her face deepened.
"Oh, how many do you want? I'll pick some for you tomorrow morning. I guarantee they'll all be perfectly ripe and sweet!"
Yu Bai smiled and said, "That's good, I want it ripe and sweet."
Then he changed the subject and got to the point.
"Oh, Sister Juan'er, there's one more thing. I have a friend who really likes dogs and wants to raise a few. Do you still have that litter of puppies? How many are left?"
"Ouch!"
Ma Juaner slapped her thigh and smiled from ear to ear.
"You're such a timely help! I was just worried about where to put these little creatures! They're all still here, all still here!"
She enthusiastically pulled Yu Bai into the orchard.
"How are the two I gave you? Are they doing well?"
"I'm fine. I'm very strong."
Yu Bai responded vaguely and followed Ma Juaner to a simple doghouse behind the house.
In the kennel, a yellow female dog was vigilantly protecting several puppies. When she saw a stranger approaching, she made a low whimpering sound in her throat, which was full of warning.
The mother dog finally gave birth to her baby in peace.
But when Yu Bai approached, the female dog sniffed, as if she smelled something familiar, and the hostility gradually dissipated, but she still looked at her uneasily.
Ma Juaner laughed and said, "Hey, this dog is quite clever. He must have smelled the scent of his puppies on you."
As she spoke, she squatted down and deftly took out a few furry puppies from behind the mother dog, one, two... four in total.
She turned and went back into the house. Soon she brought out a large bamboo basket, carefully spread some soft grass on it, and put the four puppies in it one by one.
Seeing all her children being taken away, the mother dog let out a series of low moans, circled around the bamboo basket, gently nudged the puppies with her nose, her eyes full of reluctance and anxiety.
Yu Bai's heart softened, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch its head, saying softly, "Don't worry, I will treat them well and let them keep your two children company."
