Chapter 161 External Conflict 1
No one expected that a few days later, during a heavy snowfall, the bitch would show up at the door with her cub in her mouth.
It was very windy at night and everyone was sleeping soundly. Ji Lang was curled up in the warm quilt and having a sweet dream. Suddenly, he felt something heavy pressing on his body was moved away. He woke up in a daze and it took him a while to adjust himself before he saw Qing Jiu sitting by the kang and getting dressed.
"Did I wake you up?" Qing Jiu asked softly.
Ji Lang took a while to react, and then he responded hoarsely, "Well, what are you going to do?"
"There's some noise outside, I'll go take a look." Qing Jiu said as he got off the kang.
Ji Lang always felt that this incident seemed to have happened many times. Why did it always disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night?
But now that he was awake, he also heard the whimpering sound of a dog outside.
Qingjiu arrived in the yard and found Xishi already looking up.
"what?"
Xishi looked somewhat helpless, but it was too dark to see anything at the moment, "The dogs and pups that Sanmao provoked outside are here to find us."
No wonder.
Sanmao had already come over by now. He didn't bark, but just lay on the ground, whimpering softly from time to time, looking very pitiful.
Qingjiu and Xishi took weapons and flashlights, and originally wanted to take Sanmao with them, but Liefeng and Ermao also followed behind eagerly.
Hearing the noise, the big dog that was originally lying in the snow stood up vigilantly, but the two little kids under him immediately whimpered and scratched around, trying to find a warm place, and the big dog immediately bent down again.
I could only look up vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.
As soon as Sanmao walked out of the door, he ran to the front. Although the snow on the ground was very thick, he still ran very fast.
When Qingjiu and Xishi came over with flashlights, they saw a strange dog huddled on the ground against a pile of corn stalks, and Sanmao squatting beside it, sniffing around.
This dog was smaller than Liefeng and the others, and its messy fur made it difficult to see its specific color in the dark. When it saw the strange human, it wanted to bare its teeth, but stopped as if it had some reservations.
Sanmao, on the other hand, nagged at it for a while, then ran to Qingjiu holding a little black puppy in its mouth, pawed at Qingjiu with its front paws, and stood up on its hind legs, trying to put the puppy in Qingjiu's arms.
Qingjiu had no choice but to reach out and take it. The puppy was already frozen to a pulp. Its body was very cold, but fortunately it was still soft. Qingjiu did not care about anything else and quickly put the puppy in his arms to warm it. After a while, Sanmao came over with another one. This one took after the female dog and had mixed colors, but was a little bigger than the previous black puppy. When Qingjiu took it over, the little guy was still kicking and struggling. It was a strong puppy.
After the two puppies came to Qingjiu, the mother dog also stood up and looked at this side with some caution. Sanmao circled around it again without giving up, but when he found nothing, he suddenly barked, which scared Qingjiu and Xishi.
"What's wrong with him now?" Qing Jiu didn't understand.
Xishi sighed, "There were originally four puppies, but the other two must have frozen to death, so the bitch had no choice but to bring these two over."
After the bitch gave birth to puppies, Sanmao kept running around and caught a lot of wild animals for her. Although they had no concept of quantity, they remembered the smell. At this time, the smell of the other two puppies on the bitch had become very faint, but it was still there. However, there was only the smell and no puppies, so Sanmao became a little anxious.
The female dog looked a little depressed, with her head lowered and her claws digging at the snow on the ground.
"Then what should we do with this big dog?" Xishi was a little conflicted. After all, there were many kids in the tribe now, and there were fewer cases of wild dogs hurting people, but there were some. They couldn't take the risk.
Qing Jiu stared at the pile of corn stalks for a while, then walked over. The bitch that was lying underneath stood up warily and stepped back.
He didn't care. He dug up the snow next to him, pulled out the corn stalks underneath a little, and pushed them to both sides, making a small hole half a meter wide. This was enough for the bitch to survive for the night.
The female dog didn't understand what Qingjiu meant, but Sanmao understood immediately. He took a few steps and went in. Although it was not as warm and spacious as the doghouse, it was also very good as it could shelter from the wind and snow.
Qingjiu and Xishi came back with two puppies.
Sanmao didn't come back. After following the two for a while, it seemed a little worried and turned back to look for the female dog.
Xishi waited for it at the door for a while, and when it didn't come back, he closed the door.
Let it go.
Ji Lang was right when he said that once you get a wife, you will forget your mother.
Both puppies are plump and the mother dog has taken good care of them. However, the little black dog may have suffered from the severe cold and has not recovered yet.
It was difficult for the dog to carry two cubs at once, so it just brought them over and placed them under the corn pile. There was no big dog to shield it from the wind and snow, and its fur had not grown well yet, so it could not resist the cold.
Ji Lang got down from the kang and took two blankets to wrap the two little puppies. It seemed that the two little puppies were a little restless because they were away from their mother and did not have the familiar scent. They kept struggling in the blankets, looking like crawling caterpillars.
Fortunately, they are not very good at calling out and can only make whimpering sounds, otherwise it would be very annoying.
Ji Lang touched their little bellies, which were bulging, meaning they were full. He found the basket that Damao and the others had used before and placed the two puppies next to the stove.
The two little guys stayed in pupae for a long time, and their bodies gradually relaxed and they fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Lang pounded his legs which were a little numb from squatting for so long, and yawned repeatedly. He was also so sleepy that he felt he could hardly open his eyes.
"嘤嘤嘤..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Ah, keep your voice down, don't wake up father, hey... is the little dog hungry? Don't bite my fingers, they are so itchy, hehe..."
The room was quite lively this morning. Ji Lang opened his eyes helplessly and turned over to look over.
Xiaoman was sitting on a small wooden stool with her back to him. She was wearing thick clothes and looked like a small ball.
The two dogs must be hungry, as they kept barking quietly.
Last night Qingjiu told him that the female dog was still outside. Ji Lang was a little confused as to whether he should take the two little guys out to be fed by the female dog, or cook some broth for them.
But soon, he no longer had to worry about it.
When Qing Jiu came in, Ji Lang was still lying lazily on the kang, staring at the traces dug out on the top of the cave with his bright eyes.
"Awake?" Qing Jiu asked.
Xiaoman heard it, and jumped up from the stool like a spring, went to the edge of the kang, and looked up on tiptoe, "Father, are you awake? Why don't you get up?"
