"Yes." Xia Qianqian lowered her voice, "This person is so bold that he actually came to the village."
Uncle Liu said, "If we are not from the same family, we will not enter the same door. Just look at Jiang Ming's family and you will know."
"Uncle Liu, I lied. I told everyone that someone from another village came to steal things, and now they have gone to the village chief to discuss how to prevent thieves." Xia Qianqian scratched her head embarrassedly, "I have caused trouble for the village."
"This is the best way. Otherwise, how can a little girl like you defend against Wang Hu? You are lucky, you still have some strength. But it will be terrible if he goes after your mother and sister." Uncle Liu said.
Xia Qianqian was terrified when she thought about it, but she didn't regret it. Even if the wild boar incident hadn't happened, Wang Hu would have taken revenge on her.
"Qianqian, your aunt Liu went to her parents' home to ask for two puppies. You can take them home and raise them to keep away thieves. But raising dogs consumes food." Uncle Liu turned around and brought a dog cage with two local dogs that were three or four months old in it.
In fact, not many people in the countryside keep dogs, because dogs are good eaters! In the years of famine, people were still hungry, so where would they get food to feed dogs? So these two dogs were given away for free.
Xia Qianqian was very happy: "That's great, I like dogs very much."
"The village will send out patrols before the New Year, but after the New Year..." Uncle Liu was still worried, "Qianqian, Uncle Liu can only help you up to this point."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu. I will find a way to deal with it."
"These two puppies just came to my house today and they don't know where they are. Take them home quickly."
"good."
Xia Qianqian carried the dog cage home. Qin heard the noise in the village and became frightened. She was about to go look for Xia Qianqian with a lantern, but she happened to hear the conversation between Xia Qianqian and Liu Bo, and her face turned pale immediately.
"Qianqian, have you offended someone?" Qin asked in a trembling voice.
"Mom, did you hear that?" Xia Qianqian sighed, "It was Jiang Ming's cousin Wang Hu. I just had a fight with him."
Qin was so nervous that she almost fainted: "Are you injured?"
"No, I can even beat wild boars, let alone humans. Mom, don't worry. We have alarmed the village tonight, and Wang Hu won't dare to come again in the short term. We can keep these two dogs and they can guard the house and keep you company."
There was still a lot of food left from tonight's feast, so Xia Qianqian poured some broth and mixed it with bran to feed the puppy.
The puppy was very thin. He drooled at the smell of the meat. He finished the meal in one gulp and wagged his tail at Xia Qianqian.
"So good." Xia Qianqian smiled and patted the puppy's head. "From now on, you two will be responsible for guarding the house."
Qin was worried. It was a good thing to have a dog to guard the house, but it would consume a lot of food. The burden on Qianqian's shoulders was getting heavier and heavier. Alas, it was because there was no man in the family.
"Qianqian, do you think your father will come back?" Qin asked in a low voice.
Xia Qianqian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and comforted him, "Of course, my father will definitely come back. Who knows, my father may return home in glory, and he will lead us to live a good life when he comes back."
Qin bit her lip and said nothing. It was a good thing that her daughter was optimistic, but it would be too hard to keep going like this. She could still bear the lack of food and clothing, but what if she was bullied
If she can recover her memory, her family will have someone to rely on, right
Thinking of this, Qin gritted her teeth and went back to her room to look for her memories.
Xia Qianqian was playing with the puppy when she suddenly heard a scream coming from Qin's room. She hurriedly dropped the dog and rushed in.
Qin rolled on the ground holding her head, screaming "Ah", as if she was in great pain.
