32: Chapter 34: The Mountain-guarding Dog that Recognizes People!

Li Xiaoqiang walked up to his brother, staring at him covered in fresh blood, and felt a wrench in his heart, this foolish little brother.

Li Xiaoqiang hurriedly transferred the Healing Qi within him to his brother.

After the Healing Qi entered his brother’s body, Li Xiaoqiang saw his wounds heal rapidly.

The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down.

Then, Li Xiaoqiang found some herbs nearby, and after his brother took them, he eventually came to.

Supporting his brother, Li Xiaoqiang headed towards Gancha Town.

When the two arrived home, their grandparents and mother were very worried.

They asked Li Xiaoqiang what had happened.

As for the incident with the Fox Demon, Li Xiaoqiang naturally kept it hidden; after all, such matters were strange, and if the story spread, others might think their entire family was insane.

After nightfall, with his family all asleep, Li Xiaoqiang stealthily slipped out of the room and made his way to Liu Chunmei’s house.

As he arrived in front of Liu Chunmei’s yard, a big yellow dog suddenly bounded towards him, panting, ran up to Li Xiaoqiang, and plopped in front of him, licking his palms.

In a hushed laugh, Li Xiaoqiang said, “You rascal, you still recognize me, huh?

Heh, I’m going to treat Auntie Liu’s illness now, don’t make trouble, go catch field mice in the fields.”
It was as if the big yellow dog understood Li Xiaoqiang’s words.

It wagged its tail vigorously at Li Xiaoqiang and then dashed off into the fields as if its life depended on it.

This big yellow dog had grown up under Li Xiaoqiang’s watchful eye, and was known in the village as a hunting dog, often bringing home wild game from the mountains, adding much joy to Widow Liu’s life.

The big yellow dog was unfriendly to everyone in the village; anyone entering its yard would definitely be greeted by its teeth.

But it was different with Li Xiaoqiang.

The dog was even warmer to him than to Liu Chunmei because once, when the dog nearly died in the mountains, his brother found it and brought it home.

Li Xiaoqiang had then cared for the dog with various herbal medicines for a month.

Ever since then, the big yellow would often run to the Li Family to scrounge for food.

It never howled at the Lis.

Li Xiaoqiang looked up at the night sky; it was a time of sparse stars and a visible outline of the mountains.

He quietly climbed over the fence into Liu Chunmei’s yard, where farming tools like hoes, baskets, and buckets lay scattered about.

A pile of sweet potatoes lay submerged in a stone jar, soaked by the spring water.

Li Xiaoqiang dipped his hands into the cool spring, fished out a sweet potato, carefully washed it, and took a bite, savoring the sweetness.

He slowly made his way to the back yard of Liu Chunmei’s house, planning to enter from the back; he dared not go through the front door, as Liu Chunmei’s father was notoriously known as the pig butcher of the village and had a volatile temper.

When Li Xiaoqiang reached the backyard of Liu Chunmei’s house, he found, as expected, that the door in the yard was open.

Li Xiaoqiang climbed up to the window, just poking his head out in search of Liu Chunmei’s figure.

Upon seeing her sitting in her room, he whispered, “Auntie Liu, I’m here.”
Liu Chunmei tidied her hair and then squinted as she opened her locked boudoir, whispering, “Xiaoqiang, you’ve finally come.

I thought you were going to stand me up; I even took a nap.”
With a slight smile, Liu Xiaoqiang replied, “Auntie Liu, there was a little issue at home, so I came late.

Let’s hurry inside, I’m afraid your dad might see us.”
Just as Liu Chunmei remembered her father was sleeping in the outer room, she quickly pulled Li Xiaoqiang into her boudoir, nodding, “You’re right, I almost forgot.”
After locking the door again, Liu Chunmei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
