The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

The men worked from dawn to dusk to build the mud walls. When the sun was particularly hot at noon, they would take a two-hour break, but Yan Zhenshen would come back to build the drainage channel.

Under the scorching sun, my face was covered with sweat and my back was also soaked with sweat.

Plastering walls is dirty work to begin with, and it's inevitable that clothes will have a strange smell when they get wet. He sniffed his cuffs and even felt a little disgusted with himself.

After the channel was dug here, he scooped a basin of water from the water tank and cleaned it casually, then had to go to the old house to get busy.

Chu Xiao was not at home at the moment. Wang Wu heard that there was a family in Pinghe Village that had puppies, but he would not give them away for free, but wanted ten cents for each one.

Because it costs money, the puppies have been weaned for half a month and no one is willing to buy them. The Yan family wants the puppies to keep them near the old house as a guardhouse, so the sooner they raise them, the better.

Chu Xiao also felt that it was a good idea to buy it with money. After all, he was not an acquaintance of the person. As long as the money and goods were paid in full, it would not seem like he was taking advantage of anyone.

So after lunch, he went to Pinghe Village with his third sister to bring the puppy back.

Pinghe Village is still some distance away from Anning Village. The two of them walked under the shade of trees all the way. In recent days, many wild flowers have begun to sprout buds, and the third sister picked a big bunch along the way.

It took them more than half an hour to walk to the entrance of Pinghe Village.

It so happened that there was a peddler pushing a cart at the entrance of the village selling things. Many women and men gathered there to pick out needles and thread, snacks, candies, and some small toys that children liked. The cart was filled with all kinds of groceries.

Yan Sanmei also leaned over to take a look, and saw that there were actually crispy candies for sale, so she spent five cents to buy a handful.

A little kid saw this and started crying for some candy. The woman who brought him over gave him a fierce look and raised her hand as if to hit him: "Do you want to eat some?"

The child pouted and dared not say another word.

Seeing his look, Yan Sanmei wanted to give him a piece, but Chu Xiao grabbed her and dragged her forward.

This child dares to open his mouth and ask for food when he sees others eating. It is obvious that he is a favored one at home, otherwise how could he have the courage to do so.

Moreover, no matter whether it was the woman or the child, they all wore cotton clothes, and the woman even put on lip balm. They lived a good life.

How could I be short of a piece of candy?

Chu Xiao found the family that was selling the dogs. At that moment, there were more than a dozen puppies lying in a bamboo basket in the yard, one jumping in and another pouncing on it.

In the area blocked by the fence next to it, several adult dogs barked non-stop when they saw the people coming.

A man in his twenties heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw them, he asked, "Are you here to see the puppies?"

Chu Xiao nodded and glanced at the dozen or so puppies in the yard. Some were big and some were small, and their fur colors were different.

"I have local dogs here, ten cents for them, and a mix of hounds and local dogs for a hundred cents each. There are also hounds in the garden, eight hundred cents for you to pick."

Chu Xiao had no experience in picking dogs, but looking at these chubby puppies he liked them so much that he wanted to take them all home.

But he could only think about it. Before he left, Yan Zhenshen repeatedly reminded him to bring back no more than three puppies. It was obvious that he knew that he would not be able to walk after seeing the baby animals.

Chu Xiao didn't choose directly, but asked curiously: "Do you raise these dogs?"

The man shook his head and said, "My father raised them. We kept one from each litter and sold the rest."

Chu Xiao didn't ask much and went to the garden to look at the hunting dogs first. They were all of similar breeds to the big yellow and big black dogs, and there were no long-haired dogs like Taxue.

Chu Xiao has always been thinking about finding a wife for Taxue. It would be a shame if such a smart hunting dog did not have offspring to inherit his good qualities.

"Do you know where there are long-haired dogs?" Chu Xiao thought that people who raised dogs should know more.

"Long-haired dog?" The man was really not very clear, so he called his father in the yard, and soon an elderly young man came out.

"Long-haired dogs are not a breed from Daxia. They are usually bred by people from grassland tribes for herding purposes."

This uncle obviously knows a lot about all kinds of dogs.

"Long-haired dogs are rare in Anning County, but there are quite a few people raising them in the county. Do you want to buy one or breed it for your own dog?"

Chu Xiao: “…” I want both.

His wife, who walks in the snow, must be supported by them. How can they just sow the seeds and then not take responsibility?

"I want to find a wife for my hound."

When the uncle heard him say this, his smile grew wider. He felt that Chu Xiao was also a dog lover, so he was naturally happy.

"How old is your hound?"

Chu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Nine years old."

"This can be considered an old dog." The uncle shook his head: "Although long-haired dogs have a long lifespan, they can generally only live twelve to eighteen years."

Chu Xiao was stunned after hearing this. He really didn't know how long the lifespan of a hound was. If it was really only a dozen years, then raising a wife for Taxue now would be like an old cow eating young grass.

What's wrong with being tender? If Taxue wants to eat it, let him eat it. At most, he will have to spend more mental energy, and it won't be a problem for Taxue to live another three to five years.

Chu Xiao decided to go to the county town again this winter. One of the reasons was to find a wife for Taxue. He also wanted to buy more food for storage.

Yan Sanmei was now holding a completely black puppy and teasing it, and it was obvious that she liked it very much.

Seeing that she liked it, Chu Xiao decided on that one, and then picked out a black and yellow hunting dog with a chubby head.

I turned around and wanted to choose another one, but then I saw the female dog lying in the fence stand up, revealing four or five puppies, two of which were completely white.

Chu Xiao took a closer look and found that it was indeed silver-white and looked quite beautiful.

"Is this puppy for sale?" Chu Xiao asked.

The man stepped into the fence, grabbed one and put it in front of Chu Xiao: "I'm selling it, but this is the puppy my female dog brought back by herself, so we don't know what breed the male dog is. If you like it, it's fifty cents each."

This female dog is originally a hunting dog, so even if she is a mate, she would still cost a hundred coins. However, this is the only price she can get for a dog with an unlucky father. The main reason is that they are worried that the male dog is not healthy, and it is hard to say what the puppies will look like in the future. He also has to make these things clear in advance.

Chu Xiao looked at the female dog again. Although she was also white, she was not as pretty as the two puppies.

As for health issues, he can raise wolf cubs with congenital defects, so why should he be afraid of this puppy.

"I want both of them."

Yan Zhenshen gave Chu Xiao many warnings and instructions, but Chu Xiao couldn't resist the temptation and finally returned home with the four puppies.

And a hound, a mutt, and two cute little guys whose fathers are not good.

A local dog worth ten cents?

Chu Xiao felt a little annoyed and thought he should have brought one more back.

Walking back along the same path, Yan Sanmei was carrying a baby black dog in her backpack and holding the little black dog in her hands.

The hunting dog in the backpack kept whining all the way, obviously unwilling to stay in the backpack.

Chu Xiao had no choice but to carry it out, but the two silver-white puppies he bought at the end lay quietly in the backpack and slept.

Even though you are pressing on me and I am pressing on you, we still sleep soundly.
