Chapter 136: This dog has become a spirit

For dinner, they had stir-fried pickled mustard greens, millet porridge, and mixed-flour steamed buns.

Liu Mu’s cooking was good, and even Chuxue, who came from the future, accepted it well.

The grain they got when splitting the family naturally wasn't enough for them to eat. All the grain coupons they got in the city were exchanged for fine grain when they returned, and after returning to the village, they privately exchanged some coarse grain with villagers, just enough to eat until the wheat harvest at the end of the month.

However, she wasn't in a hurry. If she persisted for a few months, the grain in her space would be ripe, and she could find a way to move it into the house then.

After cleaning up, Chunxiao also insisted on going, so the three mother and daughters went out together.

When they arrived at the new house, they saw someone sitting by the foundation smoking a dry pipe.

Liu Mu stepped forward: "Old Grandpa Wu."

"Shanliang’s family, why are you here?"

"We found a puppy at home and thought we’d send it over to you. First, to keep you company, and second, in case there’s any movement, it can alert you."

Old Grandpa Wu smiled: "That would be great."

But seeing the puppy in Chunxiao’s arms, he was stunned: "This dog is probably just a month old, right?"

"Yes, they said it’s almost fifty days."

"This is too small, what can it do?"

But just as he finished speaking, the puppy started barking "Woof, woof, woof," and the little look amused everyone.

Chunxiao was the first to speak: "Look, my Zhuifeng is different. It probably knows Old Grandpa Wu was talking about it just now, and it’s protesting."

What no one expected was that just after Chunxiao finished speaking, the puppy seemed to echo her and barked "Woof, woof" twice more.

Now Old Grandpa Wu was interested: "This dog has become a spirit."

Chunxiao put the puppy down: "Old Grandpa Wu, my dog is called Zhuifeng. How is it? Is the name domineering?"

Old Grandpa Wu laughed: "The dogs in the village are all called Big Yellow or Second Black; your name is quite rare."

Chunxiao took Zhuifeng around the building site and said seriously: "Zhuifeng, this place is our new home. You must help Old Grandpa Wu watch the site for me at night."

But what they didn't expect was that the little guy looked up and barked "Woof, woof" a few times again.

Chunxiao said excitedly: "Did you see that? Zhuifeng definitely understands what I’m saying."

Chuxue also felt the dog had some spirituality. Once or twice might be a coincidence, but she had been watching all along.

She squatted down: "Zhuifeng, come here."

The puppy wagged its tail happily, trotted on its short legs to Chuxue, rubbed against her outstretched hand, and barked coquettishly. Anyone could see it was trying to please Chuxue.

Chuxue touched the dog’s head: "You behave well."

As she said this, she thought: Tomorrow I’ll find a broken bowl and put some water from the space’s pool in it. I’ll definitely make it the most stylish dog in the Liu tree village.

The group walked around the foundation, and Old Grandpa Wu said: "At this rate, I’m afraid we can start building the walls before noon tomorrow."

Chunxiao ran around and heard this: "When can we move into the new house?"

Liu Mu’s face was full of smiles: "It will take at least a month. After it’s built, it has to be ventilated. When the walls are plastered with white lime and dried, we can move in."

After chatting for a while, the three mother and daughters headed back.

What they didn't expect was that the dog was truly miraculous.

In the middle of the night, a hooligan in the village wanted to come and steal bricks, but before Old Grandpa Wu heard any movement, Zhuifeng started barking.

Old Grandpa Wu took his self-prepared stick and shouted toward the opposite side: "What are you doing?"

When the hooligan heard it was Old Grandpa Wu’s voice, he panicked, didn't even care about his basket, and turned to flee. After all, Old Grandpa Wu had killed invaders when he was young, and everyone in the village said he knew martial arts.
