Early the next morning, it started to drizzle. This was how Jiangnan Water Village was like. More than half of the year was spent in rain. At the most, it would rain for 365 days a year.
Li Jiahao pushed open the door and walked out of the room. After being busy for a few days, he finally had some leisure time.
The countryside was like this. Raising flowers and playing with dogs was what Li Jiahao liked the most.
Crops could not grow in a short period of time. In the following period of time, Li Jiahao could enjoy the rural life!
Taking an umbrella, Li Jiahao walked towards his orchard. There were too many mountainous areas in the Li family village. Even the mountains across the river belonged to the Li family village. Therefore, every family would plant all kinds of fruit trees. These fruit trees were rarely managed by anyone. The city would compensate them for planting a tree.
The villagers planted the fruit trees for the compensation money. After all, these fruits were difficult to sell. Most of the time, whoever wanted to eat them would just go over and eat them. When the village kids were free, they would go over and pick a lot.
Because of the rain, the village was unusually quiet at this time. Only the fog enveloped the mountains.
Li Jiahao's orchard was not far from the village. It was about two to three miles away from Li Jiahao's house. It took up about an acre of land and had more than 100 apple trees.
This area was about 20 acres, and it was all the fruit trees in the village. However, these orchards were all overgrown with weeds at this time, and basically no one took care of them.
Li Jiahao went to his own fruit tree and took a few buckets of water from the river in the space. He took advantage of the rain to water it.
There might not be much change in the short term when the spiritual water was poured on the apples, but in the long run, it would definitely make the apples more delicious!
Anyway, he was a PhD student in botany. Although he couldn't do anything big, it wasn't a problem for him to change the genes of an apple. After all, this was not a big deal. He did not have to worry about being dissected for research.
After working for more than half an hour, he finally watered his apple tree. Li Jiahao walked home with an umbrella.
"Jiahao! So early!" As soon as he entered the village, Li Jia Hao saw an old man in his sixties. This old man was called Li Jing Fang. He was a hunter in the village. His ancestors had been hunters for generations. He was good at hunting in the mountains. According to seniority, this person was Li Jia Hao's fourth master. Both of Lord Fourth's sons had gone to work in the city and would only return during the New Year. The old man's hunting skills might be taken to his coffin if he didn't do well. However, the villagers were all like this, especially in a family-owned village like the Li family village. They were basically relatives.
"Fourth Master, why are you so early?" Li Jiahao greeted the old man with a smile.
"Yeah, isn't it raining? Yesterday, when I was cleaning the cicada shell, I set a few traps on the mountain. I'll see if I can catch two rabbits or pheasants later!”The old man smiled.
"By the way, Fourth Master, if your Dahei gives birth, can you give me two?”Li Jiahao pointed at the two dogs that Lord Fourth was leading. These two dogs were not ordinary dogs, but authentic mountain guard dogs!
The two dogs could fight wild boars and black bears in the mountains. They were passed down from Lord Fourth's ancestors. This kind of mountain guard dog had to go into the mountains to find a wolf king to breed every other generation to ensure the purity of its bloodline.
In this generation, if Li Jiahao remembered correctly, it should be the Wolf King that bred! This kind of puppy was unusually fierce. As long as it was trained well, it would definitely be a good guard.
"Isn't this a coincidence? A month ago, Dahei just gave birth to a nest of cubs, more than ten of them! They were all authentic mountain guard dogs! If you like them, you can bring a few back. This old man's craft is probably going to be lost, so as to prevent the mountain guard dog from breaking!”The old man was silent.
In fact, there were many craftsmen in the Li family village. Carpenters, blacksmiths, shipbuilders, hunters, fishermen, and so on. They were all passed down from their ancestors. However, young people nowadays rarely learned them. They all went to work in the city.
It also made these craftsmen feel a little disappointed. After all, this was passed down from their ancestors for more than a thousand years. They did not expect that in their generation, the inheritance was about to be broken.
"Don't worry, Fourth Master. The inheritance will not be broken! When our Li family village develops, we'll call back those young people. At that time, we'll open a few farmhouses. These wild animals are all rare delicacies. They might fight to learn!”Li Jiahao comforted.
"I hope so. Let's go. Let's go to my house first. I'll give you a few puppies.”Lord Fourth said as he turned around and walked back into his house.
The Fourth Master's house and Li Jia Hao's house were two streets apart, and the distance was not very far. In a short while, Li Jia Hao arrived at the Fourth Master's house.
In the side room, Li Jia Hao saw seven or eight puppies that were as long as his forearm. These puppies were probably less than half a month old. It looked exceptionally cute, completely unlike Black's ferociousness.
"Take whichever you like! When I'm old, it's enough for me to have Big Black and Second Black!”The old man said as he squatted down and patted Big Black and Second Black's heads.
"I'll just randomly pick two! There would probably be people who would want the rest. After all, there weren't many pure Mountain Guard Dogs left!”As Li Jiahao spoke, he picked up two of the cleverest puppies and picked them up.
"Then Fourth Master, I'll go back!" Li Jiahao patted the puppy in his arms and nodded happily.
"Alright, I'll go up the mountain to take a look. If I catch them, I'll come over for a drink later!”The old man smiled.
"That's good. I just happened to buy a few bottles of good wine. I'll come over in a while!”Li Jia Hao laughed. In the countryside, it was like this. Today, if your family has delicious food, you can have a meal at your house. Tomorrow, if my family has delicious food, you can have a meal at my house.
He returned home with the two dogs in his arms. His grandparents were exercising in the courtyard. His sister, Li Jiaxin, was brushing her teeth. The mischievous little girl was blowing bubbles.
"Eldest Sun is back!" When Grandma saw Li Jiahao coming back with the two puppies, she quickly went up to him.
"This is the mountain guard dog I brought over from Fourth Master's house! I'll carry him back to the house first." Then, Li Jiahao returned to his room and took out two bowls of spiritual water from the space and placed them in front of the puppy.
The two puppies immediately drank happily.
