Chapter 017 The Mighty War Dog
The next morning.
Liu An was awakened by the sound of his mother cooking.
Liu An, who had been a loser for more than 20 years in his previous life, naturally did not have a good habit of getting up early.
Before the biological clock is corrected, it is impossible to wake up naturally.
He stood up and took his clothes to put them on. Suddenly he remembered his dream last night and hurried out the door without putting on his clothes.
Liu An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother was still healthy and her fingers were well on her hands.
It is indeed a dream, but luckily it is a dream... Liu An thought happily in his heart.
"Why is my son so panicked? Put on your clothes first and don't catch a cold."
Mrs. Cui heard what was happening on Liu An's side, turned around and saw Liu An coming out without even putting on his clothes, and blamed her heartbrokenly.
"Well, it's Meng Lang."
Liu An smiled stupidly and without explaining, got dressed and went to fetch water and wash up.
Seeing that his mother hadn't cooked yet, Liu An told her and started jogging around the village twice as planned yesterday.
Liujia Village is not big, and Liu An estimated that it would only take less than 10 minutes to jog around.
After running around the village, Liu An was out of breath and found that there was no one on the street, so he took advantage of this free time and went home regardless of physical fatigue to pick up a pole and go out to fetch water.
After sending the two buckets of water back, Liu An did not take a break and continued to run the remaining lap dragging his legs as if they were filled with lead.
After returning home, Liu An sat on the bench panting and took a while to regain his composure.
When he went out before, Liu An had told Cui that he would go for a run to exercise, so Cui did not ask Liu An why he was out of breath.
He just put a bowl of water in front of him and started placing food on the dining table.
The food was all leftovers from last night. Cui just put it on the steamer to heat it up, and boiled some water in the cauldron, but there was no soup.
However, the mother and son were very satisfied with their meal. Being able to have a full meal with meat and vegetables in this era is already a hundred times better than most people.
After dinner, Liu An took the money and a few sacks from home, then pushed the cart out.
He still had to go to the county town first. There were a lot of things to buy, and the plan he made yesterday also needed to be slightly changed.
First of all, he later took a closer look at potato cultivation methods and found that the germination stage of seedlings has requirements for environmental temperature.
It's only the first month of the year, and the temperature outside is still very low, so there's no way for potatoes to sprout as quickly as possible.
If you want to maintain the temperature, it is best to build a fire wall, and the room with the fire wall should be larger, so that it will be easier to germinate potatoes in the future.
The best time for potato planting is almost here, and there is not much time left for Liu An to build the house alone and then carry out the germination project for half a month.
Moreover, not only did Liu An not know how to build, he also had no strength.
So quickly building a house with a fire wall requires a lot of labor.
The cheapest way Liu An thought of was to pick a few young and strong people with good physical strength among the victims to help.
There is no need for wages, as long as they are fed, many people will rush to come.
But to do this, Liu An still needs to prepare a lot of things, such as enough food, enough tools, etc.
Of course, the most important thing is to hire one or several carpenters who know how to build houses and fire wall fortifications.
Carpenters in ancient times were real craftsmen. They not only knew how to process wood and make furniture, but also knew how to build houses, decorate yards, and even make inventions.
This is the case for the famous carpenter Lu Ban.
The cart was empty. Although Liu An was not physically strong, he was not tired from pushing it.
He first came to Liu Ming's house and planned to borrow an ox martingale.
An ox martingale is a tool that is tied to an ox when it pulls a cart. It consists of an ox yoke and a rope.
After Liu An knocked on the door, the housekeeper Liu Wen opened the door and came out. After asking about Liu An's purpose, Liu Wen went directly to get the ox martingale for Liu An.
It was just an ox martingale, and Liu An was just borrowing it, not taking it away without returning it. As a housekeeper, Liu Wen could still do this.
If he really wants to trouble the master with even such a trivial matter, then he will be useless as a butler.
In addition to the bull martingale, Liu Wen also kindly helped Liu An bring out a bullwhip and handed it to Liu An.
After getting the ox martingale, Liu An asked carefully how to use it, then thanked Liu Wen and left.
The cart came to the north of Liujia Village. After Liu An made sure there was no one around, he called the system.
[System, help me extract the cattle and war dogs.]
Liu An can take the tools in the novice gift pack and put them back directly. Those tools seem to be bound to his soul. Whether they are in the system or in reality, Liu An can feel their existence.
.
But everything else needs to be extracted through the system.
[Okay, prepare to extract the cattle and war dogs...the system is extracting...]
"Ouch~~"
"Moo~~"
Along with two low howls, Liu An felt that there were suddenly two more leashes in his hands.
Looking along the ropes, one is connected to the neck of the war dog that just appeared, and the other is connected to the big bull in front of me.
In Liu An's stunned blink of an eye, the war dog had already taken up its stance and was ready to attack the cattle.
"Don't, don't, don't...don't be impulsive!" Liu An shouted in fright, and hurriedly tightened the rope of the war dog and pulled it to the other side.
This war dog seemed to be spiritual. After being pulled aside by Liu An, it actually became quiet. Although the gaze it looked at the cattle was still wary, it was not as fierce as before.
Liu An felt relieved and praised the system in his heart. The product produced by the system must be extraordinary!
After tying the cattle to the cart, Liu An pulled the war dog out a little distance, stretched out his hand and tentatively stroked the war dog's hair.
He squatted down obediently and let Liu An caress him. His face, which had been so ferocious when facing the cattle before, actually showed an expression of enjoyment.
So Liu An relaxed and got close to this pet that was his own.
However, calling him a pet seems inappropriate.
This war dog looks like a Caucasian shepherd, but its hair is as long and thick as a Tibetan mastiff. Looking at its head, it is somewhat similar to a Tosa dog.
Its whole body is red in color, without a trace of hair on its body, and its four legs are strong and powerful. When it faced the cattle just now, its eyes were fierce and cruel, and it was majestic.
Such a war dog is even more powerful than several wolves. Can it still be called a pet?
Liu Fu rubbed the war dog's red hair, thought for a moment and then said:
"Your hair is as colored as blood, and you are so spiritual. How about I name you 'Blood Spirit'?"
I don't know if he understood Liu An's words, but the war dog let out a happy howl after Liu An finished speaking.
"As long as you like it." Liu An didn't care whether the war dog could understand it or not, he patted its neck and stood up and said:
"Your master's force value is too low. I have to rely on you for my future safety, Blood Spirit!"
After saying that, Liu An held the rope in his hand and walked towards the bullock cart.
Chapter completed!
