Chapter 9 9. Black Dog
This sleep was very comfortable, and when Gulan woke up, the sky had already turned bright.

Just when Gulan sat up and was about to pack up, his movements suddenly stopped, and he squinted and looked in the direction of the fire.

The fire had already burned out, but beside the fire lay a mass of blackness. If it hadn't moved just now, Gu Lan wouldn't have been able to notice it.

Holding the dagger under her clothes tightly, she carefully got out of the quilt and walked around the fire from the other side.

Only then did I see clearly what this dark thing was?
It turned out to be a black dog, its whole body curled up into a lump, the only feeling was that it was very thin, and the bones on its body were clearly visible, not much different from when it first saw Xiao Baozi.

As if sensing Gulan's gaze, the black dog opened its eyes immediately and looked at the person standing in front of it.

His expression was a little sluggish, his eyes were vigilant and flattering, but he didn't see any malice. If there was any malice, he might attack them as soon as he arrived.

The dog wears a cloth belt around its neck, and it looks like it was either lost or abandoned.

He looked at her warily, as if if something went wrong with her, she would immediately respond and prepare to run away at any time.

Gulan doesn't hate dogs, to be honest, he likes dogs quite a bit, and has raised dogs before, but seeing the scrawny dogs, he really can't move to drive them away.

Ever since, Gulan was about to ignore it, and started to pack it up. First, he lit the fire, and the broken clay pot sat on the fire.

He took out a large bottle of mineral water from the space and poured half of it in, then put the peeled oats and sweet potatoes in.

After thinking about it, he washed the quail eggs that he took out last night with water and put them in the pot. After they are cooked, they can be taken on the road for An An to nourish his body.

Throughout the whole process, the dog lay obediently on the side and looked at her, but when he saw the water, there was deep desire in his eyes, and his mouth kept moving.

Its eyes longing for water are so obvious that Gu Lan can't do it even if he wants to. Think about it, he took out a bowl from the space, and deliberately smashed it on the ground. It's easy to explain when the little bun wakes up and asks. They say they picked it up.

Pour the water for washing the quail eggs into a bowl and place it in front of the dog.

The dog was still very cautious. Even though he was very thirsty, he didn't go to drink water immediately, but looked tentatively at the person in front of him.

"Drink!" Hearing this gentle voice, the dog couldn't bear it any longer, and licked frantically until there was no drop left.

It has been thirsty for a long time, it was driven out by the owner, and it knew that the owner wanted it to escape and survive.

It has been wandering like this, and after being frightened many times, it has learned to be vigilant and stay away from people, because it does not want to die.

It couldn't help it last night. It was hungry and thirsty. When it found the fire and felt the two humans, it couldn't help getting closer. When it came, it smelled food on them, although it was very eager. , but it still doesn't move.

Unable to move, it lay down beside the fire, thinking of leaving early in the morning.

But it was so weak that it didn't notice that humans woke up earlier than it did. Fortunately, it didn't notice the terrifying look in its eyes. Not only that, but it also gave it water to drink, which made it happy. This person doesn't seem to be a bad person. The vigilance in my heart was lowered a little.

Here, Gulan doesn't know the wild thoughts in the black dog's mind.

The sky had already turned bright, and Gu Lan was thinking about putting away the quilt.

The moment his hand touched the quilt, the military cover on the little bun disappeared.

In such a strange scene, the black dog who had been paying attention to the human beings was so frightened that the dog stared at the dog and opened its mouth slightly, with a very funny expression.

Gu Lan didn't see this scene either, at this time Gu Lan's thoughts were on Xiao Baozi.

Gently patted the little bun, "Son, wake up." The voice was so gentle that water could seep out.

At this time, Gu Lan has completely brought into this role after getting along with Xiao Baozi these days.

Following her shout, Xiao Baozi woke up slowly with trembling eyelids, and he smiled brightly at Gulan without getting up.

He really likes such a mother, he likes her smiling face and her soft voice.

Although my mother was very nice in the past, she seldom smiled at him, and she didn't have time to smile at him due to the endless work every day, and she seldom even talked.

"Mother" An An Nuonuo called Gu Lan, sat up and leaned on Gu Lan's body, her eyes were full of dependence on her mother.

"Get up when you wake up, mother is cooking, it will be ready soon." Gulan said softly, stroking the little bun's head.

Xiao Baozi nodded, quickly put on his worn and unbreakable coarse cloth shoes, and obediently stood up to help his mother tidy up the old clothes under him.

One big and one small quickly put away the old clothes spread on the withered grass, and tied up the withered grass by the way.

Then Xiao Baozi squatted obediently beside the fire, he could already smell the aroma of rice, and because of this, his stomach kept growling, and he didn't notice the black dog lying on the other side of the fire at all.

The black dog has been lying there all the time, looking at the big and small with vigilant and hopeful eyes, and has no intention of leaving.

Originally, it wanted to leave after drinking the water, but it smelled the aroma of the rice, and couldn't move forward no matter what, so it simply lay down on the ground again.

Perhaps it was because he was a little tired after lying down for a long time, so the black dog couldn't bear to change his position.

This movement made the little bun discover its existence, and the moment he looked at the black dog, the little bun was so frightened that he hugged his mother tightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's a dog." Gulan gently stroked An'an's back and glanced at the black dog.

Black Dog: "..." Did it do anything?
In fact, An An was not really afraid, but was taken aback.

Anyone who suddenly finds that there is an extra living creature next to him will be shocked if he is not mentally prepared.

The mother's voice, and hearing that it was a dog, An An's startled emotions were completely calmed down.

Then he looked at the black mass, and it was really a dog.

Children's senses are more sensitive.

He didn't feel any malice from the dog, so he became more courageous than before, slowly moved away from the mother's side, and looked at the black dog.

"Mom, how did this dog appear here?" While looking at the dog, he raised his question.

"Mother doesn't know, maybe she was attracted by the fire."

Gu Lan really didn't know about this, but what was certain was that the dog was not malicious, otherwise it would have attacked them last night.

In other words, the alertness of her body is really low enough, she didn't notice the arrival of the black dog, it seems that she still needs to practice well.

"It must be so." An An nodded.

The words "The meal is ready" drew An An's attention to the meal in an instant.

He saw his mother pick up a dozen things from the meal with chopsticks, and after a closer look, he recognized what they were, bird eggs.

He once saw the children in the village touch the tree, and he wanted to touch it too, but unfortunately he was too young to climb the tree.

He hadn't tasted a bird's egg yet.

Not only bird eggs, but even eggs, he has never eaten much.

The saliva from the little guy's mouth was secreted instantly, and he swallowed his own saliva involuntarily.

"Mother, this is a bird's egg."
