Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

After Xu Wenyan got up, he saw the dog lying beside the main hall.

The dog opened its eyes and wagged its tail at Xu Wenyan, but this time the amplitude was not as strong as yesterday.

For some reason, Xu Wenyan always felt that the dog was in some pain, as if it was sick. He walked over and squatted beside the big dog, and first pulled the chain.

This chain was tighter than Xu Wenyan had imagined. When he pulled the chain, Xu Wenyan saw a red rope inside the dog's neck.

Xu Wenyan thought carefully.

Obviously, the person who could tie the dog with this red rope would not tie an iron chain on the dog, because the red rope is a very common ornament on the market, costing about three or five cents each.

In other words, this dog was probably lost from its original owner for some unknown reason.

It was later picked up by another person, and the chain should have been tied by the second person.

The chain was tied extremely tightly. Xu Wenyan observed that all the hair around the dog's neck had been pulled off. If it weren't for the red rope reducing friction, the dog's neck would probably have been deeply scarred.

Xu Wenyan frowned and pulled the chain hard. The connection of the chain was entangled by two twisted wires.

If it was just a piece of wire, Xu Wenyan could easily break it. Apparently the last person who picked up the dog thought the same thing. It really made it difficult for him.

"Let me do it."

I don't know when Chen Sanlin walked over to my side. He squatted down and held the two ends of the wire with his thumbs and index fingers, bending it left and right.

The dog was very obedient under Xu Wenyan's touch and had no intention of resisting at all.

If you carefully turn over the dog's hair, you can see a lot of bugs. There are also some ticks on the big dog's back and around its neck. These ticks have been eaten and become round and look like grapes.

"Oh shit!"

Chen Sanlin was stunned by Xu Wenyan's sudden swear words. He turned his head to look at Xu Wenyan, only to see that his face looked particularly ugly.

Following Xu Wenyan's hand, you can see a lot of marks of beating under the dog's fur.

Xu Wenyan went into the house, brought out some bottles and jars, and went to the stove to boil some water.

With a "snap", the wire was twisted off by Chen Sanlin. The dog still sat obediently on the ground, waiting for Xu Wenyan to clean its wound.

It stuck out its tongue and stared at Xu Wenyan with wide eyes, as if it understood that this human was saving it.

"Uncle, what's wrong with the big dog?" Chen Dong walked to Xu Wenyan with messy hair. He wanted to touch the dog yesterday, but he was afraid in his heart. After all, the dog was not much shorter than him.

"The dog is sick, Xiaodong, don't touch it first." In addition to ticks, Xu Wenyan also saw a lot of fleas.

After squeezing the mugwort and mint into juice, Xu Wenyan sprinkled some insect repellent in the house and also symbolically applied some on the dog, but he didn't know if it would work.

I built a nest for the dog with the thatch nearby, and then used the largest clam shell as a bowl for it.

Humans can't eat this mouse, but dogs can.

Xu Wenyan took a ceramic can, removed the fur and internal organs of the mouse, boiled it in water and fed it directly to the dog. He had no idea how much raw food it had eaten in the mountains, so it was no problem at all.

After raising it for half a month, the dog finally became lively again.

The Lu brothers now take turns to help the villagers with farming. These villagers are not polite and are more diligent than working cows. Who doesn't need people now? Anyone who doesn't use this ready-made free labor is a fool.

The second house was finally completed. Now Rong Xiaoliu and Chen Dong no longer have to squeeze into Xiaohu's house. They now have a new house.

Xiaoman was also very satisfied with the second floor where he lived. Xu Wenyan still made a fireplace in the second room, which was made of stones. There were many strong men in the family, so it took two days to transport the stones.

I tried lighting a fire, and it was very warm on both the first and second floors. If the house was smaller, the warming effect would be great.

Xu Wenyan was lying on the rocking chair, looking at the sky. Chen Sanlin was sitting next to him. In the yard, Black Bear was playing with Xiaohu and the others.

Black Bear is the name Xu Wenyan gave to the dog. I always feel that it sounds more domineering.

"Brother Chen, look, there is a blue bird in the sky."

Chen Sanlin looked up and saw indeed a little blue bird flying over his head.

"So lovely."

“Ah…”

As soon as Xu Wenyan finished speaking, he saw an eagle flying over his head and grabbed the beautiful blue bird with one claw.

"Tsk...well, it's so beautiful." Xu Wenyan shook his head while lying on the chair.

Chen Sanlin: ...

Is this how this sentence is originally used?

"Brother Xu! Hurry up and get up, Uncle Zeng is here."

Hearing Xiaohu's voice, Xu Wenyan reached out to Chen Sanlin.

After being pulled up by Chen Sanlin, Xu Wenyan saw Zeng Guoqin and his wife holding Zeng Yuanyuan and Zeng Hong with grim expressions.

"What's wrong?" Xu Wenyan frowned when he saw the painful expressions of the two children.

Xu Wenyan did not have a bad impression of these two children.

"Yuanyuan and Honger complained of stomachaches and dizziness when they woke up in the morning." Zeng Guoqin was very anxious, and you could see that his hands were shaking as he held Zeng Hong.

"Why don't you go see Doctor Zhao? After all, I'm not a real doctor, and I can't treat all illnesses." Xu Wenyan doesn't know how to take a pulse, and he would blame himself if anything happened to the two children because of him.

The couple's faces changed slightly, and Zeng Guoqin gritted his teeth and said, "Captain Xu, it's not that we don't want to go to the doctor, but when we went there, the place was already full of people. Even if we lined up, it wouldn't be our turn."

"what?"

Hearing the couple say this, Xu Wenyan realized that the matter seemed to have become serious.

"You guys sit here for a while, I'll be back soon."

Xu Wenyan rushed out of the yard. He had to go see Doctor Zhao first. Only he knew the specific reason.

I ran all the way to the military tent and could already see from the slope the densely packed crowd in the yard below, as well as bursts of wailing.

All the soldiers continued to come out to maintain order. Xu Wenyan walked closer and was stunned when he saw the painful expressions on everyone's faces.

"Zheng Liwei?"

This family is here, and Xu Wenyan is no exception. On the way here, Xu Wenyan had already roughly guessed what could have caused such a large-scale illness.

Thinking of this, he took out the sachet from his arms and covered his mouth and nose with it.

He squeezed through the crowd, because everyone in the village knew him, and seeing that Xu Wenyan did not look sick, no one stopped him.

"Doctor Zhao." Zhao Shanhe felt like he had seen a savior when he saw Xu Wenyan.

"Doctor Xu, you are here."

Zhao Shanhe's face looked very bad, and he was taking the pulse of a villager with his left hand. Xu Wenyan saw some medicinal herbs Zhao Shanhe took out nearby, most of which were for treating stomachache and dizziness.

But after prescribing so many medicines, they were not given to the patients yet.

"Doctor Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Shanhe nodded: "Doctor Xu, these villagers must have eaten something unclean."

"Most likely, it's a rat."
