"what on earth do you want"? Yin Yaxiu looked at the crack in the door that was propped open, and her anger was surging online. She was very sleepy and tired now, and her mind was filled with the words of the old mayor. She really didn't have the energy to deal with this stubborn man anymore.
"I just want a guarantee from you"!
"Okay, okay! I promise! That's it," Yin Yaxiu said perfunctorily, and then she closed the door with a bang, never giving the unwilling man at the door a chance to speak.
Although she had promised her verbally, she did not take it to heart. Since the old mayor said so, something will definitely happen in the future that will require her to leave White Rock Town. It would be terrible if she really agreed to that man.
Yin Yaxiu returned to the house with a worried look on her face. As soon as she entered the house, she saw a black and white photo of her father hanging on the west wall of the main room.
She walked forward, squatted down under the photo, unconsciously took out the slender silver pipe, then held it in her mouth and stared at the photo in a daze.
She was brought up by her father. This rough man who only knew how to blacksmith raised his daughter like a son. He taught her how to blacksmith and fight.
Later, when she was admitted to college and left the mountain, her father's eyes became red for the first time.
She learned how to dress in the city, but she never learned to be an elegant girl. Sometimes she would blame her father for teaching her to be like this.
"Haha", Yin Yaxiu laughed in a low voice, and then sat lazily on the ground.
"Old man, if one day this blacksmith shop really can't survive, don't blame me!"
…
At this moment, Kang Ping looked at the door that had never rejected him before, but now shut him out in front of him, with a mix of black and red on his dark face.
"This damn city man." He angrily raised his fist and punched the door frame, then kicked half of the broken bricks in the corner away, and finally walked away with a face full of reluctance.
From the door of Yin Yaxiu's house to the small river south of Baishi Town, Kang Ping's face has returned to the unsmiling look he had before.
This small river runs diagonally through the entire Baishi Town and is an important water source for the villagers to survive. There were many people at the waterside at the moment, whether they were washing vegetables upstream or washing clothes downstream, everyone greeted him warmly when they saw him.
"Captain Kang is patrolling today"!
"Thank you, Captain Kang"!
…
Facing the villagers' warm greetings, he just nodded silently and did not reply.
Everyone also looked like they were used to it. In their eyes, Captain Kang had always been such a calm and reliable person.
Kang Ping was thinking about something in his mind and walked silently with his head lowered. He accidentally bumped into a hurried figure in front of him.
The man was so thin that he fell to the ground on his back due to the sudden impact.
He hurriedly got up and was shocked when he saw Captain Kang of the militia on the other side. He didn't even bother to say hello and left in a hurry.
"stop"!
Kang Ping rubbed his sore chest and pointed at the familiar back and shouted.
The figure paused suddenly, slowly turned his head, and then smiled at him in a flattering way.
"Captain Kang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to go to the toilet and didn't look at the way." After saying that, he was about to run away.
"A Liang, stop here!"
Kang Ping raised his voice and shouted again, this guy's sinister look showed that he was up to no good.
"Captain Kang, I really want to go to the toilet."
He smiled with a smile on his face, and while talking, he was holding his stomach, looking like he was in need of urination.
At this moment, his belly suddenly moved while he was holding it, and then a furry little head popped out from his clothes.
"What's this"? Kang Ping pointed at the hair ball he was about to press down.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the young man named A Liang had no choice but to hang his head, open his clothes, and take out a tawny fur dumpling from inside.
This little guy is only about the size of two palms, has a pointed mouth and pointed ears, and is covered in soft and smooth fur. As soon as it appeared, it squeaked curiously, and its slender tail was stuck to its belly in fear. It looked like a puppy.
"Where did it come from?" Kang Ping asked with a frown.
After the end of the world, all the cats and dogs in the town either died and turned into zombies, or disappeared. Where did this little puppy come from?
"I picked it up in the mountains," A Liang whispered.
"Wild dog"?
"It should...should be", he lowered his head lower as he said that.
Fortunately, Kang Ping didn't say much. He just warned him to watch out for the puppies and not let them bite the children in the town.
"Captain Kang, don't worry, I will take good care of it. I will never let it go out without training it properly"! A Liang patted his chest in assurance.
"Um"!
Seeing that Kang Ping had no objection, the young man happily hugged the puppy and went home. He wanted to show his brother that he had gained a pet the first time he went hunting with the team.
"Brother! Brother, come and see, what did I pick up today?" As soon as A Liang walked in with the puppy in his arms, he yelled and showed off to his brother.
"What makes you so happy"?
At this time, a hoarse voice came from the room, saying with a little smile.
"Look! This is it, you didn't expect it"! Ah Liang held the puppy up to his brother like a treasure, and said excitedly: "From now on, I will ask Ah Huang to accompany you when I go hunting!"
A Liang has already given the puppy a name, which is exactly the same as the name of the native dog they raised before.
The native dog disappeared after the apocalypse. A Liang hoped that when the puppy grew up, he would also be a good dog that could look after the home and the courtyard.
"throw it out"!
"What"?
"Throw it out! Throw it out quickly"!
"Why"?
"How long has it been since you started picking up things from the mountains?"
"What's wrong with the thing in the mountains? It's still young. It needs a good training..."
"This is a jackal"! !
"What"?
A Liang didn't react for a moment. He was about to say, "What happened to the jackal?" Then he saw his brother A Ming sitting on the bed looking at him sinisterly, or rather at the puppy in his hand.
At this time, the puppy also changed from his previous cute and docile attitude. He bared his teeth at his brother A Ming and made a childish threatening sound in his throat.
"Jackal...jackal"?
At this time, A Liang also reacted. He looked at the yellow-haired puppy in his hand. With such a ferocious look, he never imagined that this was actually the jackal that bit off his brother's hand.
Seeing that the puppy was still showing off in his hands, he subconsciously let go of his hand, and the puppy fell to the ground with a clatter.
The hurt puppy slithered under the stool on one side, curled up in a ball and whimpered, looking particularly pitiful.
"Brother, are you sure?"
A Liang came back to his senses, pointed at the puppy under the stool, and said with a dry throat.
