Upon arriving in the county town, Li Xiyue inquired about the location of the newspaper office, then went to a secluded spot, took out her bicycle from her spatial storage, and rode there.
"Comrade, I am an educated youth sent to the countryside from Yonghe County. I want to publish a news item. This is my letter of introduction." Li Xiyue took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the comrade at the newspaper office.
After the newspaper staff took the letter of introduction and verified that it was correct, they handed her a piece of paper and asked her to write down the general content to be published.
He published a notice in the newspaper severing ties and even asked a colleague from the newspaper to send her a copy later.
Then I went to the post office and mailed a letter to Grandma Zhang and Liu Chunmei, telling them about my situation and reassuring them. I also bought some local specialties as a return gift and sent them back.
After finishing her business, Li Xiyue took the bus back to the commune.
The round trip took four hours, and it was almost dark. Li Xiyue took out her bicycle from her spatial storage and headed towards the production team.
As they approached the village, Xiaobai said that someone was following her.
Li Xiyue asked, "Who are they?"
“A drunkard, Yueyue, he’s trying to take advantage of you.” Xiaobai was very angry.
Li Xiyue thought to herself, isn't this a good opportunity?
She released Xiaobai from the space and told it to hide and wait for an opportunity to strike.
Of course, when it gets dark, Little White is completely black, so it doesn't need to hide. As long as it stands still, no one can spot it.
Li Xiyue deliberately slowed down her bicycle, and sure enough, the drunk man behind her caught up and blocked her way.
"Young lady, you're traveling alone in the dark, you've got some nerve." The drunkard was a middle-aged man around forty years old, with a scraggly beard and dirty, tattered clothes, looking very slovenly.
As soon as he approached, he emitted a foul stench, a mixture of alcohol and body odor that made people nauseous.
Li Xiyue took a few steps back, feigning fear, "Comrade, what are you going to do?"
"What are we doing? There's no one around, just the two of us. How about keeping your uncle company for a bit of fun?" The drunkard burped and grinned lewdly.
Li Xiyue found the smell unbearable and didn't want to argue with him, so she called out softly, "Xiaobai."
"Woof woof woof..." Little White received the command and jumped up to pounce on the drunkard.
The drunkard, already unsteady on his feet, was tackled with such force that he lost his balance and fell backward, cursing in pain, "Where did this stray dog come from? Get away, you beast!"
Little Whitey hissed at his arm, its claws swatting at his face, "Woof woof woof..."
Li Xiyue heard Xiaobai say, "You dare to try and take advantage of Yueyue? You toad trying to eat swan meat? I'll bite you to death!"
Where did Xiaobai learn these swear words?
However, the saying "a toad wants to eat swan meat" is true.
She sat on the bicycle, watching Xiaobai bite the drunk man until he cried out for his parents, and felt incredibly satisfied.
"Li Zhiqing, is that you? What happened?" At this moment, a person ran up from the village entrance, and the voice sounded like Xu Xiangyang.
Li Xiyue quickly told Xiaobai to stop, and after the dog came over, she told him everything. After she finished speaking, she pretended to be scared, but her tone also carried a hint of relief, "Luckily, a dog suddenly ran out and saved me, otherwise..."
Night had fallen and the moon had not yet risen, so Xu Xiangyang's expression was unclear, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. He rushed forward and, without saying a word, began to beat the drunkard mercilessly.
"You dare to bully the people of Xu Family Village? You must have a death wish!"
The drunk man, after being beaten, begged and pleaded, "I won't do it again, I'll never do it again, please stop hitting me, ouch, it hurts so much..."
Xu Xiangyang didn't stop at all; his punches came even faster.
Li Xiyue didn't expect Xu Xiangyang to be so righteous. She saw him make a move twice in just one day, and each time he was deadly.
Fearing he might kill someone, he quickly stepped forward and advised, "Comrade Xiangyang, don't let someone die."
It's not worth ruining your life by causing someone's death for such scum.
Xu Xiangyang stopped and roared, "Get out! If you dare come to Xu Family Village again, I'll take your life!"
The drunkard ignored the pain and ran away, tumbling and crawling.
"Are you alright?" Xu Xiangyang asked, shaking his aching fist.
“He didn’t get close to me.” Li Xiyue shook her head, squatted down and stroked the black dog on the ground. “It’s all thanks to this black dog that appeared in time.”
Xu Xiangyang only saw a dark shadow moving around, and couldn't make out what it was at all. He asked, "Why are you up so late?"
Doesn't she know how dangerous it is for a girl to walk alone at night?
"I went to the county and came back so late." Li Xiyue pushed her cart towards the village. "What are you doing here?"
"I ate too much, so I came out to digest."
Li Xiyue, unsuspecting, deliberately turned her head and said in surprise, "Doggy, why are you still following me? You should go home."
Little White wags its tail and comes to her side, very affectionately.
The person and the dog worked together very well.
The moon slowly emerged, making it barely visible. Xu Xiangyang could see the black dog clearly. "This dog is probably a stray; it doesn't even have a collar around its neck."
If it's a domesticated animal, it will usually have a collar. Even the poorest families will tie a straw rope around its neck to show that it belongs to someone.
"It doesn't have a home? It saved me, it's my savior. Why don't I take it back to the educated youth settlement?" Li Xiyue said deliberately.
Xu Xiangyang asked, "Are you planning to keep it?"
"Is it not allowed?"
She saw that some people in the village kept dogs, so she thought it might be okay to keep one.
"It's not impossible, but raising a dog requires a lot of food." Then, thinking that she probably didn't lack food, he said, "If you want to raise one, then go ahead."
She's a pretty girl, and having a dog around would make her feel safer.
Li Xiyue was overjoyed. "Doggy, this is wonderful! You have a home now, and I have company too."
"Let me give you a name. What should we call you?" Li Xiyue pretended to think. "You're so dark-skinned, how about... Xiaobai?"
Xu Xiangyang: "..."
Is there a black dog named Xiaobai?
Her name is really unique.
Strangely enough, the black dog was very happy, wagging its tail incessantly and barking excitedly a few times, as if it really liked the name.
Tsk, people are novel, and dogs are novel too.
