My village can't be like this

Chapter 13: A Puppy in the Wild

After leaving Zhou Lan's house, Zhang An went shopping in the town, but there were no people from the street to the end of the street, except for a few open-faced shops that were open, and there were not many people on the street.

It's not like crowds of people when going to the market on weekends.

As I was walking, I came across a stall where a lady set up a stall selling jelly.

Zhang An leaned over to take a look.

"Ma'am, is there anything for sale?"

When a customer came to the door, the lady who set up the stall got up and responded enthusiastically: "There are jelly noodles, fried potatoes, and ice noodles, which one do you want to eat?"

"Hey, there's ice powder, let's have a bowl of ice powder, and a bowl of fried potatoes."

There is a price list next to the stall, and it looks like it was written by the children of the family. The lady is about the same age as Zhang An's mother, Wang Fang, in her forties.

A bowl of ice powder costs [-] yuan, and a bowl of yams costs [-] cents.

Zhang An likes eating ice powder very much, especially the current handmade ice powder.

Ice powder is a local snack in summer. It tastes cold and sweet, tender and refreshing.

In later generations, a small portion was also sold for more than ten yuan, although more condiments were added.

Soon, the ice powder was ready. Originally, Zhang An wanted to take it away and eat it slowly on the road, but now there is no habit of packing it at the stall. They are all home-made bowls and chopsticks, and there are no plastic bowls.

After regaining his senses, Zhang An also sat on the small table in the back of the sun, eating refreshing ice powder, which contained not many condiments, including crushed peanuts, crushed hawthorn, rock sugar, and poured a brown sugar water.

It took some time, Zhang An finished eating the food on the table, paid the money and went back home.

Walking on the road in the countryside, Zhang An looked at the excavator not far away, which was constantly working, and it was full of enthusiasm.

August is coming to an end, and Zhang An will soon be 19 years old. Children in the country go to school late, and Zhang An is relatively early.

There are all kinds of wild berries, prickly pears, planting seedlings and so on growing on the road.

Zhang An looked at the black and purple rice seedlings, picked a lot and started eating.

All kinds of plants on the side of the mountain road grow very well, because there are excrement left by the livestock that often walk around.

In order not to disturb other people's walking, the owner's family packed up the excrement of the animals in the grass by the roadside.

So these flowers and plants grow very well.

It is no longer the generation of Zhang Jianguo’s younger generation. At that time, people had to go home to use the toilet. Animals pulled manure outside and had to pick it up and carry it home. Some people went to the road to pick up manure.

The purpose is to apply more fertilizer to the crops of the family, because the family does not have money to buy chemical fertilizers, even if they have the money, they will naturally save what can be saved.

Zhang An, who was about to enter the village at the entrance of the village, heard a whining sound.

Zhang An followed the sound and found a soil hole hidden by grass under a distant ridge.

It should be that after the tree was cut down, this hole was left when the roots were dug back to make a fire.

The hole is not very deep, less than one meter long, and it is covered with a thick layer of grain grass.

Inside lay three little ones whose hair had just grown out of thinning hair.

It looks like a puppy just a few days old, and you can still see the pink and tender skin.

The whirring sound just now must have been starving, but the sound is not loud, and it might not be able to be heard by another person.

But Zhang An's hearing and vision are so good now, so he heard it.

When Zhang An was about to reach out to touch it, there was a barking sound from behind.

"Wang Wang Wang~~~"

Looking back, it was a gray-yellow native dog barking with eagerness. This might be the mother of the little ones.

It might be worried that Zhang An would hurt its cubs, so it was anxious and grinned at Zhang An.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt them. Hurry up and feed them." Zhang An stepped aside after speaking.

The big gray dog ​​ran to the den, and the little ones got up and rushed to eat milk, probably because they were too hungry.

But there was one that was a bit difficult to get up, and even the cry was very weak.

The bitch also noticed the strangeness of the puppy, stuck out her tongue and licked it, making sad barks from her mouth.

Zhang An wanted to go up and have a look, but as soon as he approached, the bitch in the den grinned at him.

"Let me see, I won't hurt your child, let me see if I can help you."

Not knowing if he understood Zhang An's words, the big gray dog ​​withdrew its bared fangs.

Zhang An slowly stretched out his hand towards the little dog, and then held it up with one hand. Sure enough, the big dog did not show any hostility.

This child looks much smaller than the other two, and the heartbeat in his chest is a little weak.

It may be a congenital problem, why not try the space spring water?
When the idea came up, Zhang An decided to bring the dogs into the space to see if the spring water in the space was useful to them. After all, he drank it for a while, and it also played a role in strengthening his body.

When the big dog was not paying attention, he took the big dog and the three little dogs into the space.

The big dog who arrived in a strange place for the first time was a little panicked, and kept looking around.

Until he saw that the three puppies were all there, and the two-legged beast was standing in front of him, he gradually calmed down.

Zhang An obviously felt that after entering the space, the puppy whose heartbeat and breathing were still weak just now is much better now.

Immediately, he walked to the pond, found a large grass leaf, and scooped up water to feed it.

The puppy also slowly stretched out its tongue to lick the spring water. After licking, Zhang An put the puppy next to the big dog.

Zhang An observed quietly. After a long time, Zhang An didn't have a sense of time and didn't know how long it had passed, but it was definitely not short.

I saw the pup who was still very weak stood up and walked towards Zhang An.

It really works, it seems that the space spring water is helpful to animals.

Zhang An squatted down and stretched out his palm, the puppy licked Zhang An's fingers with its tongue, it was fleshy.Since it was useful, Zhang An sent the Buddha to the west, and also fed some spring water to the big dog and the other two little ones.

Then Zhang An looked into the space and saw a group of chickens in the grass in the distance.

Damn, could it be that the silver chicken that I put in by myself laid eggs and hatched by itself?

Thinking of the constant temperature conditions in the space, and it was a hen, it might have been fertilized before being caught by Zhang Tie.

A hen lays about five to ten eggs at a time of fertilization.

When Zhang An approached, the hen was not afraid, but rather got close to Zhang An's side. The chick also looked around Zhang An, curious about the Twolegs in front of him.

I didn't pay attention when I entered the space to pick fruit trees, but the chicken was actually hatching eggs.

However, in a place of about ten acres in the space, the chicken found a place in the grass and squatted down to hatch its eggs. Zhang An might not be able to see it if he didn't look for it specially.

After leaving the space, Zhang An also released the big dog and the three little dogs and put them in the kennel.

He didn't bring these puppies home. Although they could feed them, this big dog must belong to someone in the village.

Just gave birth to the cubs outside.Then Zhang An went home after putting it away, and it was enough to come and see him every few days, the reunion was fate.

But Zhang An didn't know that when he went home, the big dog followed him far away.

It wasn't until Zhang An entered the yard that the big dog turned back.

Zhang An checked that his father was not at home, so he might have gone to see the fields.

Only my mother took the soles of the shoes in the yard.
