Chapter 295 Black Bold



Chapter 295 Black Bold

Naturally, I didn't find the person I was looking for, but the road to the east was now very busy. If I wanted to continue going forward, I had to take a detour, either south or north. I had better go back to discuss it with my uncle. This detour might take more than half a month.

Although it was late, the best thing for her to do was to stay in the county town for a night, but she was starving. The food in the town was terrible, so she decided to go outside the town and hunt some rabbits and pheasants to eat a fuller meal.

He came to the foot of the city wall, looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he bent down and crawled into the cave.

But just as I entered and hadn't crawled a foot away, I felt something following me from behind.

A hot head was nodded.

Zhou Guo's whole body trembled, and his hair stood on end. He used his hands and feet to quickly crawl out at the speed of escaping.

Before he could stand still, he looked back and saw a familiar black dog's head appear in the dark cave entrance the next second.

With his mouth grinning and tongue sticking out, he wagged his tail at her happily and hummed and called out.

Zhou Guo: "...Just follow me if you want, why are you pushing me? You are not a pig!"

She was answered with a few joyful barks.

The black dog circled happily around her feet, looking very happy.

Zhou Guo: “…”

A man and a dog walked towards the woods outside the city, one in front and one behind. Zhou Guo walked a distance and looked back, then walked away for a while. No matter how she yelled, chased, or tried to stop, the little black dog seemed to have identified her and kept following her. When she looked back, the black dog wagged its tail at her and stuck out its tongue.

She had no choice. If he wanted to follow her, then she would just follow him. In fact, if she thought about the animals she already had at home, a dog wouldn't make a difference. The bones she vomited out from eating meat every day were thrown away as fertilizer. There would be a lot of food for the dog to eat. She should be able to earn enough food for a dog, right?

There was still a little bit of afterglow in the sky. Zhou Guo grabbed the black dog by the scruff of the neck and ran quickly into the woods.

After wandering around in the woods for about a quarter of an hour, I only caught two pheasants. It was almost time for dinner. It is impossible to have a full meal every time when you are away from home.

The black dog was being carried and flying in the air. It was not afraid at all, but was howling with excitement instead.

Zhou Guo couldn't help but pat its head, "You are so brave, so brave, why not call you Black Bold, Black Bold!"

I don’t know if Heidadan doesn’t like this name. Heidadan doesn’t react at all when I call him. I don’t know what he was called before. “Just call him that. You’ll get used to it after a while.”

A bright fire lit up deep in the dark forest. The piece of land Zhou Guo chose was quite clever. It was a concave wall with stones on three sides.

In the light of the fire, she cut some branches around, built a roof at random, and built a wall of leaves in front.

In this way, even if the fire burns all night, someone passing by in the woods will not easily discover this place.

She plucked out the larger feathers from the two chickens and burned the smaller feathers over the fire. There was a water source not far away, so she cleaned the two chickens with a torch and then came back to roast them over the fire.

Hei Dadan followed her in and out. Now he was curled up at her feet with his head resting on the back of her feet, staring straight at the two chickens on the fire.

The roasted chicken had to be turned continuously. While it was turning, she took out the seasoning bottles, salt, dried shrimp powder, various mixed powders of star anise, soy sauce, and a huge pile of bottles and jars, and sprinkled them on the chicken one by one.

A quarter of an hour later, the fragrance was already very strong.

The dark and bold man raised his head from her feet, stared at the two roasted chickens on the fire with his tongue sticking out, and drooled.

A man and a dog huddled in this small space, waiting to eat roast chicken, both pairs of eyes sparkling.

Another half a quarter of an hour later, the roast chicken was almost ready. She used a dagger to cut off a piece of meat, blew on it, and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up. It was so delicious!

It was the most delicious meal she had had in the past two days. She couldn't help but say, "Master is indeed foresighted. When you go out, all kinds of bottles and jars of seasonings are more important than anything else. Even if you don't bring clothes, you can't do without these things. No wonder he gave me these things only after giving me the money."

I didn’t feel that way when I was fleeing. At that time, I was thankful to have food to eat, and I didn’t care about the taste. But it’s different now.

She cut off a chicken leg and began to eat it with relish. The meat was tender, salty and fragrant, with plenty of seasoning and a rich taste.

After taking a few bites, the black fish at his feet suddenly stood up, shaking its tail as if it was about to fall apart.

He patted its head and said, "Sit down. I just started eating and I haven't chewed out your bones yet. Wait a minute."

She gnawed the chicken leg in her hand until there was not a trace of meat left and threw the bone to Hei Dadan.

The black and bold cat barked twice in a low voice, lowered its head and picked up a bone from the ground, then lay on the ground happily, holding the bone with its two little front paws and gnawing on it with satisfaction.

Zhou Guo was eating roasted chicken while watching it. He thought the little black head was very cute as it tilted back and forth to gnaw on the bone. It licked the bone clean bit by bit while gnawed.

She ate all the meat from the two chickens and threw the bones to Hei Dadan, who ate so much that he never raised his head.

There was still one chicken leg left in Zhou Guo's hand. He didn't eat it completely this time. He intentionally left a lot of meat on the leg. He couldn't let the dog go without any meat.

But the black cat was too small to chew the bone. Even when she was asleep, she could still hear the sound of it chewing the bone next to her ear.

I slept soundly all night.

When Zhou Guo opened her eyes, she felt something different than usual. There was a warm, rising and falling thing at her feet. She blinked and remembered that she had picked up a little black dog named Heidadan yesterday.

As soon as she moved her feet, Hei Dadan immediately stood up and came to her head humming.

Remembering what happened in the dog hole before, Zhou Guo immediately turned over and sat up. Fortunately, Hei Dadan was very sensible and just wagged his tail beside him without rushing over.

She couldn't help but smile, she was a good dog, "Just go play over there, I need to practice some skills, after I'm done I'll take you to the woods to catch prey and grill it."

Hei Dadan barked excitedly, turned and walked to the place where he had slept the night, then lay down again, resting his head on his paws, and looked at her with his head tilted.

Zhou Guo glanced at it and closed his eyes.

When the sky was bright, Hei Dadan had already run away to who knows where. Zhou Guo put away his sword and washed his face with cold water.

The cold spring water poured on his face, making Zhou Guo shiver.

After wandering in the woods for half an hour, they caught two rabbits and a chicken. At this time, Hei Dadan had not returned yet and no one knew where he had gone.
