Transmigrated as a Peasant Baby Who is Pampered by All-Chapter 481 - 300: Clever Little Hei (Part 2)

Some even said that the taste seemed better than before.

Liu Hongcai implicitly asked, but the wheat harvested in the first half of the year was not much different from before.

Others in the village were unclear about the reason, but the Jiang and Liu families knew well, yet no one said more.

After taking a walk around the village, Liu Hongcai had a good understanding of the situation and was ready to leave.

He hadn’t taken a few steps back when he heard a loud barking.

Liu Qingfeng immediately shielded his wife, Xie Fuya, behind him, nervously staring in the direction of the noise: "Did we get too close to someone else’s house?"

Although there were no houses nearby, the dog was indeed coming towards them, and it was getting closer.

"Don’t be afraid, it’s Little Black’s voice." Xiaoxue immediately recognized it but was even more nervous than Liu Qingfeng.

"Isn’t Little Black out hunting with Little Mi and Little Cao? Why did it come back alone?"

As she spoke, she quickly walked a few steps forward, and sure enough, in the next moment, a big black dog rushed out. Who else could it be but Little Black?

"Little Black, where are Little Mi and Little Cao? Why did you come back alone?"

This had happened once before when only Little Mi was on the mountain, and she was fine in the end.

Still, Xiaoxue couldn’t help but worry when it happened again, unsure of what happened to Little Mi and the others.

"Second sister, Little Black doesn’t seem worried at all, sister should be fine." Jiang Wei was even more at ease than Xiaoxue.

Sure enough, Little Black happily circled Xiaoxue a few times, then ran to the others, finally biting Liu Qingfeng’s hem and pulling a few times, then went to bite Liu Hongcai’s hem.

"Xiaowei, what’s going on? Does it want to take us somewhere?"

Liu Hongcai protected his wife, his face a bit pale, staring at the big dog pulling his hem. It was so tall, reaching up to his thigh, very robust.

Such a big dog, he had never seen one before, how could he not be afraid?

Jiang Wei was also confused, only able to discern from Little Black’s happy demeanor that it wasn’t worried or anxious, so his sister should be fine.

But why was Little Black looking for Brother Liu and Uncle Liu? Not to mention Brother Liu had stayed with them for a while, but Uncle Liu was visiting the village for the first time!

Xiaoxue, however, looked thoughtful at Little Black’s actions.

"Uncle Liu, last time Little Black also came back to call people. Could it be that Little Mi and the others hunted too much again and can’t bring it back?"

After all, on the way to Nanyang Prefecture before, Little Mi and Ziang had encountered a similar situation, but back then it was Little Mi who came back alone to call for help without Little Black.

No sooner had Xiaoxue said this than Little Black barked twice.

"Really!" Jiang Wei exclaimed.

Looks like Xiaoxue was right.

"Uncle Liu and Brother Liu haven’t been up the mountain before, and the roads are difficult to navigate. We’ll find others."

"Xiaowei, you go call Dad, I’ll go find Uncle Zhang Yuan."

After Xiaoxue spoke, she addressed the others: "Uncle Liu, Aunt Qian, please wait a moment, Uncle Zhang is nearby, I’ll be back soon."

After the arrangement from his second sister, Jiang Wei quickly agreed and ran back.

After Xiaoxue spoke, she also turned and left, leaving the Liu family standing there looking at each other.

Even Little Black, who had been tugging at the hems of the Liu family father and son, let go and laid down on the side to rest, seemingly knowing why Xiaoxue and Jiang Wei had gone and waited there.

Liu Yajing exclaimed, "Wow, this dog is so smart, it understands Xiaoxue and the others’ words."

Among them, Xie Fuya had stayed the longest with the Jiang family and understood Little Black better.

"This Little Black has been with the Jiang family for years, and it’s said to be as obedient as a five or six-year-old child."

Seemingly recognizing the praise, Little Black raised its head and barked softly at Xie Fuya.

"Wow, my dear, it’s agreeing with what you said." Liu Qingfeng was also surprised.

He knew dogs were smart, but this one seemed too smart.

Liu Hongcai couldn’t help but nod, "Having such a smart big dog at home is safer than a guard."

"Father-in-law, the Jiang family doesn’t only have this one dog, they have four in total. Little Black is specifically for guarding the house and lives inside. There are three more that patrol the pigpen, chicken coop, and other places."

Xie Fuya explained with a smile. Her husband went to the academy every day; her in-laws and sister-in-law were visiting for the first time, so it made sense she was the most familiar with Xiangmu Village and understood these things better.

Ms. Liu: "Are they all as smart as Little Black? Why hasn’t Ze’er mentioned them before?"

Liu Ze wasn’t aware, and Jiang Yu, along with Jiang Wei and Liu Hongcai, didn’t join in either, assuming the second sister was just taking Ms. Liu around for a walk.

Xie Fuya: "I heard the other three pups were born here in Xiangmu Village, Little Black’s puppies. They’re still young, but in recent months they’ve been able to follow Little Black up the mountain to hunt."

During their chat, Xiaoxue had returned with Zhang Yuan in tow. In the distance, Jiang Hu was also running towards them. Once they were all there, Little Black could take them up the mountain.

Zhang Yuan was closer and arrived first. Little Black stood up, ready to set off at any moment.

After greeting Liu Hongcai, Zhang Yuan nervously took a few steps toward Little Black. With these guests dressed so splendidly, displaying uncommon comportment, Zhang Yuan had never seen such wealthy figures before, and was quite tense.

However, Liu Hongcai kindly engaged him in conversation, asking about this year’s harvest, which slightly eased Zhang Yuan’s nerves.

Lucky for them, it wasn’t long before Jiang Hu arrived.

Liu Hongcai hurriedly said, "Jiang brother, my son and I are of no use here and are unfamiliar with the mountain, not daring to volunteer ourselves, so we have to trouble you."

Jiang Hu, having experience, wasn’t as anxious as he would be the first time: "It’s right to call us, for those unfamiliar with the mountain, once it gets dark, you can’t see the path down. You should go back first; Zhang Yuan and I will find Little Mi and the others."

"Alright, you better hurry then, don’t delay."

"Woof woof!"

Little Black had already run ahead and was urging them on as Jiang Hu and Zhang Yuan hesitated.

Jiang Hu beckoned Zhang Yuan to join him, and the two quickly followed up the mountain.

The others weren’t sure what to do for the time being, so they decided to head home first. But soon, Qixi arrived, holding a torch and a fire starter, waiting by the foot of the mountain since he didn’t know where the others were.
