The Sweet Little Fulang

 During the autumn harvest season, rice chaff could be seen everywhere in Qingxi Village.
There were chaff and rice bran on the ground outside the village.
These chaff were not thrown away.
Every family swept it and saved them to feed chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.
Poor people didn’t dare to throw it away, rice bran was something that could satisfy hunger and satiety.

    After getting up early and eating, Lu Gu chopped up a large dustpan of grass, mixed it with chaff, and took it to the backyard to feed the chickens and ducks. The pup followed him, because it would bite chickens and ducks, Lu Gu had no choice but to ask Shen Yan to take it away and play in the front yard.

    Harvesting autumn rice was busy at home.
Before going down the mountain, Shen Xuanqing told him that he would stay at home for a half months.
He was worried about the chickens and ducks.
When he went down the mountain, he locked the chickens and ducks in a bamboo cage and pulled them down with the cart.
Now it was only half grown, no bigger than a hen, and it could fit in a bamboo cage.

    The hens were cooing and the ducks were quacking.
They were kept separately in two fence.
After he poured the food for the chickens, he poured it for the ducks.
Finally he turned over the bamboo dustpan and patted it on the back to remove the residue.

    With an empty dustpan in one hand, he counted the chickens and ducklings who were pecking at their food, and he was relieved when he saw that none of them were missing, but he watched the limp chick in the corner, why was there blood on its body?

    Lu Gu became a little anxious, went in and caught the chick, and found that it had wounds on the back of its neck and the base of its wings, and its feathers were stained with blood.

    What should he do? Did he want to get some medicine? Thinking about it, he looked carefully at the other chickens and ducklings.
Fortunately, only this one was injured, so he hurriedly grabbed the chick and went to the front yard.

    Shen Xuanqing was entering the door with Shen Yaoqing, they had just gone out to inquire about the price of new rice, and they negotiated to bring some new rice to the town to sell in the next two days when the price was good, when they looked up, they saw Lu Gu's anxious expression.

    “What's the matter?” Shen Xuanqing's eyes fell on the chicken in his hand, and he stepped forward to check the injury, and finally said: “It's okay, it's just a small injury, it must have been pecked by a big chicken, don't worry, get some medicine and it wil be allright.”

    Lu Gu also thought that it should be the big chicken who bullied his little chicken, the big dog wouldn’t bite, and the puppy had been in the front yard today, so it could only be the big chicken.

    “Can I separate them?” Lu Gu asked in a low voice, the chickens were not raised in one litter, so he thought it was better to separate them.

    Shen Xuanqing couldn't help it, and said: “Okay, I'll go to set the fence.
The old fence that I pulled out before hadn’t been burned, so it's good to simply surround it.
It doesn't need to be too much trouble, and we will go up in a few days.”

    Shen Yan was sitting on the eaves, she was doing needlework, and the puppy was biting the leg of the stool she was sitting on.
Hearing what they said, she interjected and said, “Brother Guzi, there are medicine for bleeding on the hillside behind, and I will pick it for you.

    Lu Gu nodded hastily, put the chicken in the bamboo basket, and said, “I'll go with you.”

When the two of them came back from picking the medicine, Shen Yan smashed it with the stone to make a green medicine juice, and Lu Gu carefully found a piece of rag, since when he put the medicine on, the chick would shake and the medicine would fall off, so it was better to wrap it around.

    After the two of them finished, Shen Xuanqing also set up a small fence in the backyard, drove the chickens and ducks into it, and separated them from the big ones. Lu Gu put the injured one in as well.

    He originally wanted to keep the injured one alone in the front yard, but seeing the lively and sturdy appearance of the pup that could only bite the leg of the stool, so he had no choice but to give up.

    Speaking of which, the cub was quite close to Lu Gu.
Once Shen Xuanqing left on the mountain, there were only the two of them left.
Compared to the chickens and ducks, the cub really looked like a child.
He followed Lu Gu wherever he went, with a pair of bright black eyes open.
He tilted his eyes and barked a few times, his small ears swayed with his head, sometimes his fat little paws would step on his shoe uppers, and his fat and round body, not to mention it was very cute.

    When Lu Gu returned to the front yard, the pup who had been yelled at by Dahui didn’t dare to go to Dahui again.
It found a corner and lay down, with its small head resting on its two front paws.
His eyes looked pitiful and aggrieved.

    Seeing this, Lu Gu walked over, knelt down in front of it, patted its head, and lightly squeezed one of its ears, and said, “If you are a good boy, Dahui won't mad at you.”

    No one spoke to him in the mountains, sometimes the cub was too naughty, he couldn't help but to hug it and say a few words, the cub was not human, even if he didn't understand what he was talking about, he would still wag his little tail and tilt his head to listen.

    As Lu Gu said, he picked the pup from the ground, turned his head and saw Shen Xuanqing coming out of the main room, and stood there in a little embarrassed, thinking that no one would talk to a dog like him, if he was heard, they would definitely laugh at him.

    The pup was touched and hugged, and the grievance disappeared.
He barked twice in his arms, licked his fingers, played with him and bit him a few times.
It was tickle but it didn't hurt.

    Shen Xuanqing did hear Lu Gu talking to the pup.
Lu Gu usually had a low voice, or he would lower his head and talk in such a low voice, looking timid, and whispered to the pup, but Shen Xuanqing felt that it seemed a little different, so he looked at Lu Gu subconsciously.

    Compared to him, Lu Gu seemed to be more comfortable with the puppy.

    After noticing Lu Gu's embarrassment, Shen Xuanqing narrowed his gaze, he thought for a while and said, “It's been so long since we carried it back, so we should give it a name.”

    He didn't mention what happened just now, and didn't laugh at him, letting Lu Gu quietly put back the raised heart, he thought for a while and couldn't figure it out, so he said: “I don't understand this, you give it.”
