A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 443 New Neighbors

After parting with Jimmy and Joe, Leon left the eastern mining area directly.

There's nothing to see here. Apart from the mine, other areas are filled with climbing equipment for metal smelting. These will be taken away by the Joja family in the future. After the Joja family has removed everything here, it won't be too late for Leon to find time to come and take a look at the specific situation.

As soon as Leon crossed the Seagull Bridge, passed through Pelican Town, and rode his bike back to the farm, he began looking for traces of Rhubarb.

It has been nine hours since I left home this morning. Leon didn’t eat lunch, and I don’t know if Dahuang has listened to me and found something to eat by himself.

However, with Dawang's intelligence completely different from that of a Husky, Leon felt that even if he fainted from hunger, Dawang would probably not be hungry, and might even gain a few pounds of weight.

Even Dahuang might go to the kitchen and make four dishes and a soup for himself who is fainting from hunger, although the possibility of this is not very high.

There was no doghouse to be found, nor near the kitchen. The house was completely empty, not a single hair of dog was to be found.

Then Leon went out of the house and looked at the fields. There was no change. Dawang was obviously not secretly digging foundation in the fields. He ran to the chicken coop again. The hens were clucking and walking in the enclosure outside the chicken coop. They looked leisurely and did not look like they had been harassed by Dawang.

"Strange, where did this guy go?"

Lyon searched all the main areas of the farm but found no trace of Dahuang. When Leon was puzzled and was about to ride his bike to No. 2 Liuxiang to see if Dahuang really listened to him and ran to Emily's house to get food and drink, a wolf howl suddenly came from the east of the farm.

"Ouch!"

But the wolf howl sounded very childish and a little out of tune. Looking in the direction of the sound, Leon saw Da Huang running towards him with his legs spread out.

"Wang!"

Accompanied by a dog bark, Dahuang suddenly jumped up. With a height of about 20 centimeters, he jumped to a height of 1.5 meters and smashed towards Leon's chest like a ball of meat.

Leon hugged Da Huang and felt the attachment of the soft and chubby little guy in his arms. Leon stroked the hair on the back of Da Huang's neck and said, "Little thing, where have you been?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Upon hearing this, Dahuang immediately barked a few times. Unfortunately, Leon had no experience in dog language and could not understand what Dahuang wanted to say. However, seeing that the little guy had no injuries and his fur was very clean, he should be living a good life.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

Carrying Da Huang into the kitchen, Leon asked while starting to think about what to cook in the evening.

"Wang!"

Dahuang nudged Leon's chest with his nose, then jumped out of Leon's arms, landed next to the stove, and dragged out an empty bag of dog food.

"It looks like you're full."

When Leon saw the bag, he understood how much the little guy Dahuang had eaten. There was still one third of the bag of dog food left before he left. The amount in the bag was enough for an average puppy to eat four or five meals, but Dahuang finished it all in one meal.

Dahuang shook his head and used his paws to scratch the bag, tearing the empty dog ​​food bag into two halves. He then placed one half in front of himself and pushed one side to the other, then barked at Leon.

"You mean, you actually gave half to someone else?"

Although Dahuang's body language was a little vague, Leon could understand it. He didn't know whether it was the tacit understanding between him and Dahuang or the blessing of forest magic.

Da Huang nodded, then jumped down from the height, biting Leon's trouser leg and dragging Leon out of the kitchen. Da Huang's action this time was easy to understand. He was going to take Leon to see the guy who took half of the dog food.

"Stop pulling, just lead the way."

So Leon gave direct instructions to Dahuang, lest the little guy tear his good pants. The little guy looked small, but his claws and teeth were quite sharp.

Upon hearing this, Da Huang immediately opened his mouth and led the way in front with a gait that ignored all relatives. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Leon, as if to make sure whether Leon was catching up.

Under the guidance of Dahuang, Lyon followed Dahuang to the dilapidated greenhouse. Lyon had observed this place when he first came to the farm. Except for the foundation, the roof and walls had basically collapsed. It was called a dangerous building, but in fact it looked more like ruins.

If Leon hadn't known that the greenhouse could be repaired after the sacrifice was completed, he would have had the ruins of the greenhouse removed long ago.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

When Da Huang arrived here, he stood in front of the ruins of the greenhouse and howled twice inside, as if greeting the things hiding inside.

Lyon frowned when he saw this. He didn't expect that there was some kind of creature hidden in the ruins of the greenhouse. However, judging from Dahuang's posture, it should not be a dangerous creature, so he didn't take out the Galaxy Watermelon Knife to be on guard.

Along with Da Huang's roar, a small, chubby animal soon emerged from a hole in the ruins of the greenhouse. It had a large tail with spiral ring patterns, long gray-brown hair, small ears facing upwards, and a circle of black hair around its eyes, allowing Leon to immediately recognize its identity.

"Raccoon?"

"Hello, Son of Nature."

To Leon's surprise, the raccoon came out and noticed Leon's presence and actually started talking.

"Son of the Wilderness?!" Leon had seen things that could talk before. Children of the wilderness could basically talk, so it was easy to guess what the situation was with this talking raccoon.

"I am... and I am not." The raccoon stretched out his paw and waved his hand, speaking hesitantly, as if he was not used to human language.

"I have no ill intentions. I'm just staying here temporarily. The farm is nice. I like it here, too."

Hearing the other party's goodwill, Leon smiled. He didn't care that the raccoon lived in the ruins of the greenhouse, but he was curious about what the raccoon meant.

"How long have you lived here?"

"Two. Two raspberry seasons." The raccoon scratched his head and thought for a long time before answering.

"Two years? Or one year?" Hearing this answer, Leon was a little uncertain. After all, the raccoon was talking about two raspberry seasons, with raspberries in spring and blackberries in autumn. Of course, it is also possible that this guy has gone through two springs when raspberries appear, which is two years.

The raccoon shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Dahuang came close to the raccoon and growled twice. When the raccoon heard the sound, an expression of embarrassment and confusion appeared on his face.

After a while, the raccoon crawled back into the ruins of the greenhouse. When it came out again, there was a bulging bag of things in its hand.

"The dog said that. The rent is for you."
