Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

75. Military Dog

Su Jinru is busy with both the fields in her space and the experimental fields in her yard every day.

She has been experimenting with and constantly improving the fields within the space, and she also needs to keep daily records.

The rice in the space is ready to be harvested.

This is the third time she has grown rice. The rice from the previous two harvests has been processed into rice, and most of it has already been sold.

This increased production yielded over 4,000 jin of rice from four mu of land.

Su Jinru decided to store the rice for the time being, because in the coming days, she planned to plant early-maturing, high-yielding sweet potatoes and potatoes on all the land.

The improved sweet potatoes and potatoes can be harvested in twenty days.

Because of the short cycle, Su Jinru was busy every day. The crops grew very quickly each day. If the records in the experimental field at home were kept in days, the growth of the crops in the space were recorded in hours.

Winter is approaching, and Su Jinru plans to go to the city to buy some winter supplies before winter arrives.

For example, cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded trousers, cotton-padded shoes, gloves, and charcoal.

The disaster is severe, and things are not peaceful outside. Su Jinru is quite busy in the experimental fields and rarely goes out.

When she had no choice but to go out, she dressed herself up as a beggar. The villagers thought it was normal. At that time, everyone was a beggar and wanted to beg for some food to fill their stomachs and save their lives. This was more important than dignity and respect.

On the way to the county town, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the roadside, startling Su Jinru so much that she quickly pulled out a dagger from her spatial storage and held it in her hand.

This is for her self-defense.

Once, when she went out, a man saw that she was a woman and tried to knock her down and rob her of her belongings.

Some people are so hungry that they resort to such extreme methods to attack people on the street, knock them down, search them, and steal their belongings.

Fortunately, Su Jinru was young and strong. She worked in the fields every day and never went hungry, so she had plenty of strength. Her opponent, on the other hand, was obviously someone who had been starving for many days and was just an empty shell of a man. He was easily subdued by Su Jinru. When Su Jinru pulled out a dagger, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Su Jinru kicked him to the ground, telling him to run if he wanted to live, and that if she saw him on this road again, she would not let him off easily.

At this moment, Su Jinru thought that the person who suddenly appeared was also starving and wanted to rob passersby.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a skinny dog.

After the famine struck, she never saw a dog again.

Hungry people will catch and eat even rats and bedbugs, let alone dogs.

This dog is incredibly lucky to have survived until now.

In this day and age, all living things see humans as if they've seen the King of Hell. They'd better run away quickly and stay far away. This dog must have been chased before, because it has many scars on its body, some old and some new.

Su Jinru held a gleaming dagger in her hand. If it were an ordinary dog, it would have been scared away long ago!

But the dog was clearly not afraid of her; it just stared longingly at Su Jinru.

Is it begging her for food?

Su Jinru ignored the dog and continued on her way.

But the dog followed Su Jinru closely.

When Su Jinru walks, it walks too; when Su Jinru stops, it stops too.

Su Jinru thought that it was probably starving! That's why it followed her, hoping to get some food.

This is a life too!

Su Jinru thought for a moment, then took out a meat pie from her spatial storage and tossed it to it.

It was clearly starving and swallowed it whole.

Su Jinru tossed another one to it, and it swallowed it whole again.

The dog, grateful for the food, wagged its tail at Su Jinru, approached her, and affectionately rubbed its head against her.

Su Jinru reached out and patted its head. It happily circled around Su Jinru, looking up at her with its bright, watery eyes.

Su Jinru observed carefully. The dog had black fur, a large size, and looked fierce at first glance, but it was actually very agile.

Su Jinru had raised a mixed-breed dog before, and that was all she knew about dogs. She was certain that this was definitely not an ordinary mixed-breed dog, but she didn't know what breed it was.

That makes sense, though; if it were just an ordinary mongrel, it wouldn't have survived this long.

Such a clever, obedient yet fierce dog would be a great help if kept at home to guard the house, and she could afford to keep it.

But she couldn't keep it. At that time, people around her couldn't even support themselves, and she was keeping a dog at home. Wouldn't that be blatantly arousing suspicion and inviting disaster?

But no matter how Su Jinru tried to shoo the dog away, it wouldn't leave her side.

We're almost at the county town.

Su Jinru panicked. If she took the dog into the city, it would definitely be captured alive and stewed.

But no matter how hard she tried to chase him away, he wouldn't leave.

Su Jinru thought for a moment, then walked towards the direction of the Armed Forces Department, with the dog following her.

When they were about 200 meters away from the armed forces department, the black dog behind Su Jinru suddenly rushed past her and darted forward.

It darted to the two men in military uniforms in front of the door, wagging its tail and shaking its head.

"Where did this dog come from?"

"This isn't an ordinary dog; it's a military dog. Where did this military dog ​​come from?"

Su Jinru ran over, and the military dog ​​ran over and circled around her, then ran over to the two soldiers and wagged its tail.

Su Jinru said, "Comrade, I found this dog on the road. I don't know whose dog it is. It keeps following me and I can't get rid of it. It turns out it's a military dog!"

An older soldier said, "This is a well-trained military dog. It's not easy for the military to train such a dog. I wonder which unit lost it."

Su Jinru: "That's perfect. You can help it find its original unit. This dog is yours to keep."

As they were talking, Minister Ye came out of the Armed Forces Department.

"Minister Ye!"

Minister Ye was slightly taken aback when he heard Su Jinru call his name.

At this moment, Su Jinru was dressed in tattered clothes, and her face was covered with yellow dirt and black ash, making her unrecognizable.

At first glance, she looked like a beggar.

But anyone who gets close to her can smell her clean and refreshing scent.

Minister Ye is a soldier with an exceptional memory; he recognized the aura and the voice.

"Comrade Su Jinru, is that you?" He was somewhat surprised.

"It's me, Minister Ye. I came to the market today and found a dog on the way. You know, I can't keep a dog at home, so I brought it here. Your comrade said it's a military dog, which is even better. I'll leave it to you."

Minister Ye patted the military dog.

"Luckily I ran into you. If I had fallen into the hands of an ordinary person, I would have become meat on their dinner table."

Su Jinru: "It has both old and new wounds on its body, probably left from being chased."

"Thank you, Comrade Su Jinru, you've done another good deed."
