Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 104, New Member
After completing the transaction, Wang Li thanked the owner and immediately rode his bike to the next house with puppies.

When he arrived at the house, there were already two middle-aged men there picking out dogs.

He secretly rejoiced: Fortunately I arrived in time, otherwise I would have no choice!

When the owner of the house saw Wang Li hurrying on his way, he knew that he was also here to buy a dog.

So I stepped forward and said: You've come at the right time. I have three puppies at home and each of you can take one away.

Wang Li wanted to say that he needed two puppies, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was the last one to arrive, and it was not easy for others to give him one.

Led by the host, the three of them came into the house and saw three little creatures rolling around on the kang.

There are a grey dog, a grey and white dog, and a completely black dog.

Hunters normally prefer black dogs. After all, according to legend, black dogs have a certain ability to ward off evil.

But at this time, the three people's eyes were not on the little black dog, because this black dog was the weakest of the three dogs.

Its two brothers were able to run a few steps with difficulty, but the little black dog was still climbing up and down and could not stand up yet.

According to the order of first come, the two middle-aged hunters in front selected two stronger dogs, paid them and left.

Wang Li looked at the remaining black dog helplessly.

The dog owner said embarrassedly: There is no way, you are too late, and there is only this last black dog left, why don’t you come back next year?

Wang Li nodded helplessly and was about to turn around and leave, but he still wanted to give it a try, so he used his qi and blood sensing ability to sense the black dog's qi and blood.

Something unexpected happened. He sensed that although the little black dog's blood and energy were not abundant, its vitality was very strong.

This is a very strange feeling, like a weak kitten, although its physique is very weak, but its potential and vitality have the appearance of a tiger.

After realizing this situation, he immediately changed his mind and said to the owner: "Brother, I can't make this trip in vain. If nothing works, I will take this puppy away."

The owner was stunned at first, and then said happily: Well, since you like it, give two dollars and take the puppy away.

There was a reason why he was so happy. This puppy looked weak and basically no one would like it.

Now that someone can take the baby away, it reduces his burden and provides him with extra income, so he is still very positive.

Wang Li did not bargain. After handing the money to the dog owner, he put the puppy into the cotton bag on his chest and left quickly.

Because he had achieved the purpose of this trip, and while he was looking for news about the puppy, he had purchased enough food to fill the storage space, and he had successfully completed the mission of this trip.

Before dark, Wang Li rode his bicycle back to his courtyard in Kyoto.

After returning home, he first put the purchased food in the underground warehouse in the first courtyard, then went to the second courtyard to inform his parents that he had brought back some food and asked them to sort it out tomorrow.

Then he took out the three puppies from the bag in front of his parents. After the bumpy ride, they were already a little listless and hungry.

Zheng Lan and the others all liked the three puppies Wang Li took out. After all, no one would dislike such cute and weak furry animals.

My father said: They must be hungry. I will make them some rice porridge and beat two eggs to replenish their nutrition. They will be energetic in a while.

After saying that, he walked towards the kitchen, while the women in Wang Li's family continued to watch the three little puppies.

For various reasons, the women had never raised dogs, so they didn't dare to try. This was due to their fear of strange animals and also because they were worried about hurting the weak puppies.

Only Wang Li gently stroked the three puppies with his hand and said to the women: It's okay, after I feed them, I will wash the puppies with warm water, and then give them a bath with Chinese medicine to drive out the insects, and then you can hold them and play with them.

Note: In ancient times, laurel and wormwood were said to "repel insects and ward off evil spirits". You can prepare some medicine bags made of wormwood and laurel at home and put them in the place where the dog stays, which can effectively repel mosquitoes and fleas; even if the dog has been infected with fleas, you can use the wormwood bag to make a traditional Chinese "medicine bath" for the dog at home, which is both healthy and can effectively solve the problem. Wang Li learned medicine from ancient books, and the effect is better and stronger.

After hearing Wang Li's words, several women showed expectant looks.

After a while, the father came in with a small bowl of freshly cooked food and fed it to the three puppies.

After smelling the aroma of food, the puppies all crawled towards their father. He placed the bowl in front of them, and they quickly put their heads into the bowl and licked it, making a series of smacking sounds, and the puppies ate with great relish.

After the puppies finished eating, Wang Li poured warm water into a large basin and took out soap to wash the dirt off their bodies.

After changing the water twice, there was no dirt on the three puppies.

Wang Li soaked the medicine bags he had prepared in advance in boiling water, then added an appropriate amount of cold water. After he felt that the puppies could adapt to the water temperature, he put them in the water to soak.

It took another hour to rinse the medicine off their bodies, wipe the dog hair dry with a dry cloth, and then put them into a new cotton bag.

The puppies had just taken a bath and couldn't stand the wind, so their fur was not completely dry. The weather was getting colder, and even though they were indoors, Wang Li was afraid that they would get sick.

After finishing all the work, Wang Li placed the cloth bag containing the puppies among several women and let them interact with the puppies themselves.

It was the youngest, Lai Xiaomei, who was the bravest. After a short while, she dared to take the puppies in her hands and stroke them gently. The puppies were not shy at all. They cried and nudged her hands with their little heads, obviously playing with her.

When the other women saw that nothing was wrong, they all started to caress the cute little puppies.

In this way, three new members were added to Wang Li's family.

When they grow up, they will protect the safety of Wang Li's family and provide guard duty at night and during the day.

When he grows up a little, he will receive training from Wang Li and his father, and learn how to be a good hunting dog and guard dog.

After all, under the circumstances at that time, no one would keep a useless dog. Unlike modern society, raising a dog is just to play with the owner and has no other use.
