Border Cook

Chapter 170 Scared
According to Wu Jin's habit, he would usually eat up all the food in the clay pot, and even lick the pot clean, as if it had been scrubbed.

But now, there is still a small amount of food left in the earthenware pot?

The meat bones next to it are still there...

In order to protect against wind and rain, half of Wu Jin's shack was covered with tarpaulin. Looking inside at this moment, all one could see was a dark mass.

Is Wu Jin sleeping in there?
But this time...

Zhao Dahu saw Zhao Erhu tilting his head and walked over to him. "What are you looking at?"

"I think Wu Jin doesn't seem very happy." Zhao Erhu said, "He didn't even finish his breakfast."

"Maybe Wu Jin is unhappy because Aunt Xia is out." Zhao Dahu replied, "Usually Wu Jin loves Aunt Xia the most, so it's normal for him to be sulking right now."

Is it really?

Zhao Erhu scratched his head.

Zhao Dahu raised his chin, "Why, you don't believe that Aunt Xia is so popular with Wu Jin?"

Zhao Erhu, "..."

Is it okay to be afraid of you?
The carriage went west out of the city gate and continued along the official road.

Su Yongfu was a skilled driver, and even on the uneven official road, the carriage was very stable and not bumpy at all.

Xia Mingyue and Lu Shi did not feel uncomfortable. They were just a little sleepy because the carriage was shaking all the time, and they could not help yawning.

Just out of the city gate, still half a day's distance from Xiaohezhuang, Xia Mingyue and Lu simply closed their eyes, leaned on the prepared soft pillows, and took a nap under the small quilt.

As the sun rose higher, the carriage moved further and further away from Jinqiu County.

It was a cold winter day with dry weather. The wheels of the car turned and clouds of dust were raised behind.

A shadow gradually passed through the dust and came near the carriage.

At first, he followed the carriage not too far behind, but later he began to ride side by side with the horses, keeping a certain distance.

When Su Yongfu first saw this big dog that was completely black except for a small tuft of golden hair on its tail, he was frightened. He thought it was a mad dog from somewhere, and subconsciously pulled up the legs that were hanging in front of the carriage.

Later he found that the dog didn't seem to have any malicious intent. Although it was panting with its mouth wide open, the corners of its mouth were slightly raised, as if it was smiling at him. Moreover, the big dog was fat and healthy, with neat and shiny fur. It was obvious at first glance that it was a dog raised by someone, so he felt relieved.

Maybe it was a watchdog raised by a farmer in a nearby village. It was wandering around and hadn't seen the carriage, so it came over to take a look out of curiosity?
Su Yongfu guessed this.

But as the carriage moved forward slowly and passed through several villages, the big dog still followed closely and showed no intention of leaving. Su Yongfu frowned.

This……

Could it be that I want to follow you to Xiaohezhuang?
Not to mention that such a long distance is a huge challenge to a dog's physical strength, and after running so far, it is likely that it will never be able to find its home again.

This is not a good thing for dogs.

And this dog is taken care of so well, the owner must value it very much, and would be very sad if he found the dog lost.

Su Yongfu raised a little black cat when he was young, but the cat was accidentally lost when it was one year old and was never found again.

Su Yongfu still remembers how he cried breathlessly and his heart was broken. He also understands what cats and dogs mean to people.

Su Yongfu slowed down the pace of the car, rolled up most of the whip in his hand, and waved it in the air in the direction of the dog, "Don't follow us anymore, go back, go back quickly!"

Seeing that the dog was indifferent to his actions, Su Yongfu loosened the whip slightly and flicked it in the air, trying to drive it away.

But the dog looked at Su Yongfu sideways and slowed down a little, just to keep itself balanced with the carriage. In this way, Su Yongfu, the driver, could not lean over and use the long whip to point fingers at it.

Su Yongfu, "..."

This dog seems to be a little bit smart.

But he has plenty of ways!
Su Yongfu simply stopped the carriage slowly and prepared to have a good talk with the dog.

Running around outside will not lead to any good results in the end. The important thing to do is to go home!

But before Su Yongfu could speak, Xia Mingyue and Lu, who were awakened by the stopped carriage, lifted the curtain on one side of the carriage to check the situation.

Then, I saw a big black dog squatting on the ground, panting heavily.

"Black gold?" Xia Mingyue was stunned.

When Wu Jin heard Xia Mingyue's voice, he immediately became alert. He first barked twice at Xia Mingyue, then raised his two front paws and tried to grab the carriage, and his tail almost shook like a propeller.

"It really is Wu Jin." Mrs. Lu was also shocked. "Did he follow me all the way from home?"

"Woof!" Wu Jin's tail wagged even more vigorously.

Xia Mingyue held her forehead with her hand, "You are very brave, you actually dared to run out."

Not only did he run out, he also followed me all the way.

Xia Mingyue looked back, estimated the distance in her mind, and discussed with Wu Jin, "It's not too far from home now, why don't you go back quickly?"

If Jiang Zhuguo and the other three found out that Wu Jin was missing, they would definitely be anxious to look for him everywhere.

Hearing Xia Mingyue say this, Wu Jin's tail suddenly drooped down, and even his initially grinning mouth gradually retracted, and he even turned his head to the side.

What did you say
The wind was too strong to hear.

Seeing Wu Jin like this, Xia Mingyue knew that it was not listening at all. She sighed, "I'm afraid it won't work if I let it go back by itself. We've already come here, so I have to take it with me."

"Woof woof!" Wu Jin immediately became energetic.

The tail continues to wag and the mouth continues to grin.

The whole dog even jumped several times on the spot to express its mood at the moment.

"But I have to tell you in advance that you need to be obedient along the way and you are not allowed to run around after we get there." Xia Mingyue warned.

“Woof woof woof!” Wu Jin responded.

Seeing this, Su Yongfu laughed and said, "The dog you raise really understands human nature."

"Wu Jin is smart. It is said that some big dogs have the intelligence of a four-year-old child, but Wu Jin is different." Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "Wu Jin can catch up with a five-year-old."

Wu Jin: "..."

Is there anyone who praises a dog like this?
But at least it was a compliment, and the boy agreed to let it go, so it was a happy thing.

Wu Jin barked twice out of respect.

After solving Wu Jin's problem, Su Yongfu drove the carriage forward.

They still had a long way to go, and it was not a good idea to let Wu Jin run all the time, so they simply let Wu Jin get on the carriage and let him squat in the front of the carriage, sitting side by side with Su Yongfu.

The carriage was moving, bringing up gusts of wind. Wu Jin held his head high and chest out, letting the cold wind blow across his face.
