Chapter 22: Survival Savers

Zhou Fan looked at the old dog in the corner, he still couldn't believe it, why did such an old dog be associated with a life-saving object?

Zhou Fan originally thought that the life-saving thing they were talking about should be something like a talisman or a weapon, but it turned out that he brought an old dog back.

"Dad, what's the use of this dog?" didn't understand, so Zhou Fan asked.

Zhou Zhou Mu took a sip of water before he slowly explained: "In the western edge of Sanqiu Village, there is an elm forest, about ten acres, which was planted by Lao Wangtou's grandfather, and we have always called it Xilin. ”

"The outside of the village is very dangerous, even if Xilin is in the area of the village, but it is also the edge of the village, such land has always been used as a buffer with the wilderness, there are many unknown dangers, no one in the village wants to open up such an area, this kind of land rent is very low. ”

Because of this, the grandfather of the old Wang Tou rented the land, and his family lived by planting trees for generations, but at the same time faced all kinds of unimaginable dangers, but after so many years, the old Wang Tou family still continued, relying on their dogs. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yimu glanced at the old dog in the corner, and then he continued: "The grandfather of the old king also learned the secret art of raising a dog from somewhere, and his dog has a very keen sense of smell of danger and can warn the owner in advance, which is also the reason why the old king's family dares to plant trees at the edge of the village. ”

"If that's the case, then why didn't the patrol bring in the dog raised by the old king's family?" Zhou Fan asked with some doubts.

Zhou Yimu shook his head and said: "Where is it so simple? Lao Wangtou has a lot of dogs at home, but not all dogs can predict danger in advance, and dogs with a keen sense of smell are difficult to cultivate, and each one is very expensive and laborious." ”

"And the degree of perception of danger is also different, some dogs can find some simple monsters, complex and hidden ones are difficult to find, if you can't detect danger in advance, then the dog is easy to be killed by monsters, and the owner may also be in danger. ”

"A lot of dogs die in the old Wangtou's family every year, and the dogs that are really bred to have a sense of danger and danger are not enough to guard the forest, and they are never sold easily. ”

Zhou Fan understood now, and he said: "So the old dog that my father bought back is the dog that can predict the danger in advance, right?"

Zhou Zhou Mu nodded and said: "At present, there are five dogs in the old Wangtou's family that can really predict the danger, this is only the oldest, at the beginning I looked for him, and I was willing to buy a dog with two Xuan coins, but he was only willing to sell the youngest one, and only charged one Xuan Yuan."

I refused, and then we talked about it for another day, he was willing to sell the middle one, still only one coin, but I only wanted the oldest one, but he refused, so after grinding for a few days, I asked Carpenter Zhang to come forward, and it was only after convincing him. ”

"Is it because the older the dog, the more sensitive it is to danger?" Zhou Fan asked.

"You're right, but it's more important ......" Zhou Zhou Mu paused here, looked at Zhou Fan and asked, "Do you know how many years a dog can live?"

"Dogs generally live for more than ten years. Zhou Fan replied that in the past, there were police dogs in the police force, and he knew that the lifespan of dogs was about 10 to 15 years.

"This dog is twenty years old this year. ”

Zhou Fan showed a look of surprise on his face, he glanced at the old dog, he didn't expect this dog to be so old, ordinary dogs can't live for so long.

"This dog has been guarding the forest for the old king's family since he was born one year old, but he has been able to survive in the dangerous Xilin, and the advance prediction of danger is the strongest among the dogs that the old king's head is raising now, even if the old king's family has planted elm for so many years, this dog can also be ranked in the forefront. ”

"That's why the old king has been reluctant to transfer it to me. Zhou Zhou Mu said lightly, "With this dog, if you join the patrol, your mother and I can rest assured." ”

"But this dog is so old, can it still run?" Zhou Fan said a question he was worried about, if he couldn't run, how much role could he play when patrolling?

"You don't have to worry about this, the dogs raised by the old king's family are bred by special methods, much stronger than ordinary dogs, when I bought it, it has been tested in advance, don't look at this dog like this, if the danger comes, it will immediately become vigorous. Zhou Zhou Mu said.

This kind of problem Zhou Zhou Mu had already thought about, after all, it cost two precious Xuan coins to buy it back.

Zhou Fan had no doubts about this old dog, he was very satisfied, after all, he could predict the danger in advance, which was more important than talismans and the like.

The family began to eat, but after eating for a while, Gui Feng began to say, "I met Da Liu today. ”

Who is Da Liu? Zhou Fan's mind flashed with questions.

Zhou Zhou Mu stopped his chopsticks, looked at Gui Feng and said, "What did he say?"

Gui Feng glanced at Zhou Fan before he said slowly: "He didn't say anything, just said that he was going to come to the house tomorrow morning and have some wine with you." ”

"It's fine. Zhou Zhou Mu nodded, "Originally, I wanted to talk to Fan after I was busy with the matter of joining the patrol." ”

Gui Feng snorted with a straight face, feeling a little unhappy.

Zhou Zhou Mu felt it, and he sighed lightly and comforted: "Don't be angry, Afan's current situation, the relationship with Xiaoliu can't continue, it's a good thing that he came to relieve it." ”

"Of course I do. Gui Feng slapped the chopsticks on the table and said: "Ah Fan was injured because we didn't allow anyone to come to visit, so Xiao Liu came once, and he didn't come, there is nothing to say, Ah Fan's life expectancy is low, his Xiao Yanagi measured his life span of more than 70 last year, and my Ah Fan's life expectancy is certainly not worthy of his Xiao Yanagi." ”

"We all know this kind of thing! But what does he think of our family? If the marriage contract is dissolved, we will take the initiative to tell them sooner or later, do we need them to run so hurriedly to withdraw from the marriage?

Zhou Zhou Mu was silent, in the village, it was a shame for the man to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and it was normal for Gui Feng to be angry.

Zhou Fan listened to the words of his parents, he was a little stunned, he dared to love the predecessor who was already engaged, and he had a fiancΓ©e!

However, when he calmed down and thought about it, it was not an unacceptable thing to marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen in ancient times.

Now that the other party is coming to withdraw from the marriage, Zhou Fan is relieved for no reason, otherwise he really doesn't know how to deal with a fiancΓ©e he has never met, in his opinion, a marriage without feelings is a very sad thing.

Fortunately, the other party is planning to come and withdraw from the marriage.
