Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village
Chapter 83 Naming Yourself for Prosperity
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Long Lifan carefully moved the puppy. Seeing that the big yellow dog was lying on the ground without moving, she finally felt a little relieved.
You should know that nursing dogs are the most aggressive. If one of them bites you, you'll be in big trouble. After all, medical resources are limited these days, and you don't even know where to get a rabies vaccine.
He then carefully moved the three puppies to his small yard, and the big yellow dog followed him in. However, once inside, the big yellow dog lay down on the ground again, as if the movement had exhausted its last bit of strength. After lying down, it even closed its eyes.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, leaving only her and Hu Lili in the courtyard. Long Lifan went into the room to cover herself, then bought some iodine and medicinal powder from the system shop. The big yellow dog was in bad shape; if it wasn't treated, it might die.
"Let me tell you, I'm going to treat your wound now, so don't move." Long Lifan didn't care whether the big yellow dog understood or not, and started talking to it.
She spent several dollars on this iodine solution; she would regret it terribly if she wasted it.
Long Lifan tiptoed and poured iodine solution onto its wound. Perhaps irritated by the iodine, the big yellow dog kept making whimpering noises.
Even so, it remained lying there motionless. Ren Longlifan dripped iodine onto its wound, but it was unclear whether it was too weak or had understood what Longlifan had just said.
"call"
Having done all that, Long Lifan breathed a sigh of relief. She had done everything she could. Whether the big yellow dog lived or died was now up to fate.
Hu Lili watched blankly the whole time, but always kept a certain distance from the big yellow dog, which showed that she was indeed afraid of dogs.
"Sister Fan, how is it?" Hu Lili asked in a low voice, glancing at the dog as if afraid it might suddenly leap up from the ground.
"Let's see if it can make it through tonight!" Long Lifan glanced at it; she had clearly felt the yellow dog's breathing weaken when she was applying the iodine solution. Now that the medicine was on, if it could pull through, it should get better.
Afterwards, Long Lifan and her companion picked up some stones from the roadside and gathered some dry grass from the ridge of the field, and a simple doghouse was formed.
In fact, Long Lifan had thought about getting a dog when she moved out of the educated youth settlement. There were only a few girls there, and having a dog would make them feel much safer.
However, they later discovered that no one in the Dongwan Brigade owned dogs, so they abandoned the idea. Firstly, they couldn't find any puppies, and secondly, they wondered who these women would be wary of if they started keeping dogs so soon after arriving. It would clearly show a lack of trust in the commune members, which would not only arouse their suspicion but also make them the target of everyone's criticism.
Now, she has a legitimate excuse to raise them. She just doesn't know if the big yellow dog will survive tonight; if it doesn't, she doesn't know how she'll raise three puppies that haven't even opened their eyes yet.
That evening, as promised, Hu Lili ran over with her food box. Inside was some sorghum porridge (sorghum is a product of G province, where it is widely grown).
Long Lifan ate mostly sorghum rice here. She wanted to eat regular rice, but sorghum rice was the main crop around Pingwu County, and rice paddies were rarely grown here. There was regular rice available in the market, but in very small quantities, and it depended on luck whether you could find it.
Long Lifan found a chipped bowl and poured the sorghum porridge into it. She placed it next to the dog's kennel, not caring whether the dog ate it or not.
These past few days, Lin Xiuxiu and Lin Yue have become quite adept at their work. Usually, when she's at the chicken farm, she only has to take care of the two piglets, so she's been enjoying a rare period of relaxation lately.
That night, she slept soundly and woke up around 8 a.m. the next day. The moment she opened the door, the big yellow dog in the kennel struggled to get up, as if to tell Long Lifan: Look, I'm alive again.
Hearing the noise, Long Lifan turned her gaze over. The big yellow dog whimpered twice at her before lying down again. The bowl of sorghum porridge was completely empty; she had no idea when it had eaten it.
Long Lifan's eyes lit up. The fact that the big yellow dog could eat meant that its life had been saved. It would definitely recover after a few more days of rest.
"From now on, you're my dog, so you can't run around everywhere. If someone catches you and eats you, I'll be so upset." Long Lifan didn't know if the dog understood her, but she gave it a lecture.
These days, the villagers see dogs as meat, and they rarely see meat throughout the year. She was certain that if Hu Lili hadn't given her a dollar yesterday, the villagers would have killed and eaten it long ago.
If she hadn't seen it, she would have died. But she had spent several dollars on the medicine from the system yesterday, and she was counting on it to guard her house and property after all that effort to save her life. If she really ran away and got slaughtered and eaten, she would cry her heart out.
"Well, since you're my dog, you should have a name. How about you be called Wangcai from now on?" As for why she chose such a name, it was obviously from a movie starring a certain man.
In later generations, not all dogs are named Wangcai, but any dog named Wangcai is definitely a dog.
"Wangcai," Long Lifan called out tentatively.
"Wangwang"
Whether it was satisfied with its owner or its name, the big yellow dog surprisingly barked twice, as if in response.
"Haha, you agree, right!" Long Lifan was instantly delighted by the big yellow dog's response. Sure enough, the name Wangcai was extraordinary; even a dog would like it.
Over the next few days, Wangcai's injuries gradually healed, and he returned to his dog-like appearance. Every time Long Lifan finished work, Wangcai would get incredibly excited, wagging his tail wildly and circling around her incessantly.
“This is also your owner.” When Hu Lili came to deliver the food, Long Lifan pointed at her and said to the dog, “She not only provides you with food and water, but also saved your dog’s life.”
Hu Lili would come over every day to feed the dog, but instinctively she would always keep her distance from Wangcai.
As if it understood, Wangcai ran over to Hu Lili, seemingly knowing that she was afraid of it. So it stopped half a meter away from her and then lay on the ground rolling around.
"Sister Fan, it seems to understand what you're saying!" Hu Lili found it amusing as she watched the rolling dog, and her fear instantly subsided. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Of course, how could Wangcai be an ordinary dog?" Long Lifan was quite proud when she mentioned that Wangcai was intelligent and human-like, believing that it was because she had trained him well.
"Wangcai, flip two more!"
As soon as Long Lifan finished speaking, Wangcai obediently rolled around on the ground twice more. This amused Hu Lili, who was standing nearby, and she burst into laughter. "By the way, Sister Fan, why did you name it Wangcai? It doesn't sound good at all."
"That doesn't sound good. Look how excited Wangcai is when it hears its name." Of course, choosing this name is a sentiment from later generations, but Hu Lili wouldn't understand it if I told her now.
