After being exiled, Lucky Zaizai took his whole family to farm.

Chapter 18 Listening at Night
  Naturally, rooms can no longer be divided according to families at night.

There are only three rooms in total, one for men and one for men. Qin Jia and Qin Lin sleep on the rotten wooden bed in the women's room.

Everyone else spread hay on the ground, then spread tarps and quilts to sleep on.

The men's side didn't even have rotten wooden beds, so they all had bunks on the floor.

After all, it was a strange place, so they didn't dare to spread out too much, and they didn't dare to let the women keep vigil.

Several elders took turns to watch. The father and son of the Qin family and Zhao Dong watched for the first half of the night, and the father and son of the Wen family watched for the second half of the night.

The rain outside was loud, occasionally mixed with a few lightning strikes.

Although she was very tired, Qin Jia still couldn't sleep. She always felt a little fuzzy in her heart and didn't know what was wrong.

Could it be that the original person was afraid of thunder?
  Qin Lin beside her was already asleep, and the warm body temperature gave her a sense of security.

However, she still felt that where there were people, there were many things wrong, so she still had to be on guard.

So she got up and walked to the fire, and with a Ruyi brush, she drew a pastoral dog.

When it comes to ears, dogs are the most sensitive.

Even if there is the slightest movement, he will bark and alert. Every time the owner returns home, the dog at home has already heard the sound.

Therefore, Qin Jia felt that dogs keeping watch at night might be more reliable than people.

Well, when the time comes, let’s just say it’s the dog that came to recognize its owner.

In a flash of light, a black pastoral dog with a straight back appeared in the house.

Qin Jia didn't know if it could understand human speech, but still tried to communicate.

"From now on, you will be called Ye Ting. You must keep a good watch and wake me up if you hear any noise."

Ye Ting had an innocent look on her face, "Wow." Her voice was small, as if she was responding.

"It's so good." Qin Jia touched its head with satisfaction, then lowered his body and smelled it.

The fur is really fluffy, but the smell is not that of dog, but the smell of ink.

After she lay down on the bed, Ye Ting obediently lay down at the door of the room, closed her eyes and fell asleep, her ears stood high and would twitch from time to time.

Perhaps because of the dog keeping watch at night, Qin Jia gradually felt a little sleepy.

But before going to bed, she was still struggling. Should the dog she drew want to eat?
  ***
  Boom——

"Woof, woof, woof!" After a huge thunder sounded, the continuous barking of dogs also followed.

Everyone was awakened.

"Ah! Where did the dog come from!"

Ye Ting's tall body looked a bit tall in the dark, which frightened several little girls.

Qin Jia said quickly: "This is my dog. My dog ​​was fed in Huangshi Town before. I didn't expect it to come here. It came just after you fell asleep."

"Hiss? No way, can it actually follow you from such a distance?" Zhao Qian expressed surprise.

Fang Yuerong, who knew her daughter's secret, also helped to avoid sloppiness, "Yes, dogs are loyal.

I have heard before that the daughter of a family near us got married and went to a place thousands of miles away.

The dog she had raised since childhood actually found her husband's house a few months later.

She was originally very sad when she received a letter from home saying that the dog was lost, but she didn't expect that the dog ran away to find her. "

The Wen sisters' eyes flashed when they heard this, and their faces were full of emotion.

"Then it seems that this black dog is also a good and loyal dog, right?"

Qin Jia nodded her head several times, "Yes, Ye Ting is very good and can help us keep watch."

Zhao Qian: "Yeting?"

"Yes, it's called Ye Ting. I named it after night."

Unexpectedly, Ye Ting is quite spiritual. He will look at whoever calls Ye Ting.     seemed to be asking: Is something wrong?

Everyone in the women's room was curious about Ye Ting, but the men outside were on guard.

Then Ye Ting seemed to hear something, and barked frantically toward the door. Its tail was hanging low and its forelimbs were strong, which was obviously a sign of vigilance and readiness.

Qin Huaiyi shouted in a deep voice: "Who? Who is outside?"

The sound of rain and wind remained the same, but no one responded.

It was too dark and it was raining heavily. No one could rush out to check, so they could only be vigilant.

Ye Ting's barking gradually stopped. After walking around for a few times, he sat on the ground and exposed his tongue.

This means the alarm is cleared.

Qin Lin praised: "Ye Ting is so good. Look at the movements of this vigil. They are more alert than us."

Be alert when you need to be alert and relax when you need to be relaxed.

Even Zhao Qian, who was scared just now, walked quietly to it and said, "Yeting, can I touch you?"

Ye Ting looked at Qin Jia, and after seeing Qin Jia nodding, he lowered his head and refused to cater or resist.

Zhao Qian touched it cautiously at first, but then became bold and wanted to stick to it.

She was surprised when she smelled the scent of ink on the tip of her nose, "Oh my god, Ye Ting smells of ink, not the smell of a dog.

Sure enough, dogs follow their masters. Your master, sister Jiajia, also smells of ink, and your smell is exactly the same as hers. "

Fang Yuerong, who was worried, immediately relaxed.

"You guys go on sleeping, I'll go next door and take a look."

Going next door, Qin Huaiyi also asked about the dog barking just now.

Fang Yuerong explained again according to what he just said.

Qin Lie was very interested in Ye Ting and said he must see this loyal dog tomorrow.

"I also wanted to raise a hound before, but unfortunately I never had the chance." Zhao Dong said with some regret.

"With a dog, it is indeed more reliable. We can save a bite each of us and we can't starve it."

People may get sleepy and take a nap when keeping watch at night, but dogs don't. No matter how sleepy they are, they can instantly enter the state when they hear any movement.

So several people expressed their welcome to Ye Ting.

Even can’t wait to meet.

Fang Yuerong chuckled, "By the way, did anyone come here just now?"

"It's possible that the rain is too heavy and we can't hear clearly, but the dog can still hear clearly. It barks so tightly, there must be something wrong." Qin Huaiyi replied in a deep voice.

"Are you from this village?"

They brought food, and Fang Yuerong was worried that thieves would be attracted for this reason.

"Anyway, they won't move for the time being. We will be alert at night. You should go back and rest quickly. We are here."

"That's right, don't worry, Auntie. Who dares to stir up trouble? We are not vegetarians."

Qin Lie left after sending her back to the house.

Everyone in the room has fallen asleep again, and Qin Jia's hand is being held tightly by Qin Lin.

She could feel her sister's excitement. Why?
  Just when I was wondering, I got the answer the next moment, "That's great. It's thundering and raining. Sister, aren't you afraid anymore?"

Is the original person really afraid of thunder?

But it's not in the memory. Could it be that there are still fragments of the original memory that are lost?
  Qin Jia didn't dare to ask questions rashly, and could only listen silently to her happy words for her sister.
