Wilderness Romance!

With Lin Jianguo's guarantee, Lu Pingchuan successfully adopted Heifeng and Huzi.

Black Wind and Tiger seemed to understand human nature; on the way back, they kept rubbing against Lu Pingchuan, trying their best to get along with their new master.

Lu Pingchuan was extremely excited.

He thought that after adopting a police dog, it would take some time for them to get to know each other, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

Lin Jianguo dropped Lu Pingchuan off in the village and then returned to the county.

Lu Pingchuan, accompanied by Hei Feng and Hu Zi, strode towards his home.

"Dad, Mom, Sister Xiaoyu, I'm back."

Before even entering the courtyard, Lu Pingchuan shouted loudly.

Inside the courtyard, Nie Xiaoyu and Lu's mother were picking vegetables, both of them smiling and chatting about something.

Upon seeing Hei Feng and Hu Zi behind Lu Pingchuan, their smiles froze instantly, and they both stood up, distancing themselves from Lu Pingchuan.

"Xiao Chuan." A look of fear crossed Lu's mother's face. "Where...where did you get this big dog? It's terrifying."

"Yes, Pingchuan, you...you don't come any closer, I'm scared." Nie Xiaoyu stared intently at Heifeng and Huzi, even her breathing became slightly lighter, and she quietly moved her foot back a little bit, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of startling the two big dogs.

Lu Pingchuan chuckled: "Mom, Sister Xiaoyu, this isn't some big dog, it's a police dog."

"Don't be afraid, Black Wind and Tiger are obedient and won't bite."

Lu Pingchuan squatted down: "Heifeng, Huzi, this will be your home from now on. They are all family. Heifeng, go and say hello to your family."

After all, his mother and Xiaoyu looked very scared at the moment, and Lu Pingchuan was worried that if Heifeng and Huzi went over with them, it would frighten them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Feng strode over to Lu's mother and Nie Xiaoyu.

A huge black shadow loomed over, and Lu's mother gasped in fright, stumbling backward and nearly twisting her ankle. She instinctively raised her arms in front of her in a defensive stance.

Nie Xiaoyu froze, her hair standing on end. She covered half her face with her hands, leaving only a slit to peek out, and kept backing away, a thin layer of sweat seeping from her back.

"Mom, Sister Xiaoyu, don't you even believe me? I said it's okay, so it's okay. Don't worry."

In the blink of an eye, the black wind had arrived in front of the two.

"Woof...woof..."

Black Wind gave a soft call, and its fluffy head immediately rubbed against Lu's mother's trouser leg. Then, it rubbed against Nie Xiaoyu's trousers.

Seeing this, Lu's mother mustered up her courage, reached out, and gently patted Hei Feng's head.

Black Wind immediately prostrated himself on the ground, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

"Xiaoyu, Pingchuan is telling the truth, everything is really alright."

Nie Xiaoyu slowly squatted down, carefully reaching out to gently stroke Hei Feng's smooth back.

"Woof...woof..."

Black Wind squinted comfortably, letting out a low whimper, its tail sweeping across the ground like a large feather duster.

Nie Xiaoyu finally lowered her guard, her hands softening from stiffness to gentleness, from cautiousness to naturalness, as she stroked Hei Feng's back fur, saying, "So good...so obedient..."

"Tiger, you should go too."

Tiger hesitated for two or three seconds before finally taking a step.

Its steps were slow, even somewhat tentative, and it stopped a meter away from Nie Xiaoyu and Lu's mother.

Instead of rubbing against it like Black Wind, it sat down properly, its ears perked up, its eyes fixed intently on Nie Xiaoyu and Lu's mother, as if waiting for permission.

Nie Xiaoyu looked up at it and was amused by its serious expression.

"What's wrong, Tiger? You want to touch it too?" She reached out her hand, tentatively reaching towards Tiger.

Tiger wagged its tail, as if in response.

Nie Xiaoyu placed her hand on its head. Tiger didn't dodge; instead, it raised its head slightly and nudged its forehead into her palm.

In the blink of an eye, Hei Feng and Hu Zi had become friends with Nie Xiaoyu and Lu's mother.

Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan stopped paying attention to them. He moved some red bricks and wooden planks from the corner of the yard, mixed some mud, and began to build a warm doghouse for Heifeng and Huzi respectively.

He had never owned a dog before, and the kennel was built entirely according to the design of the police dog base kennels. However, the quality and appearance were far inferior to those of the police dog base kennels.

But there's nothing he can do. Given the limited resources available, he can only try his best to make the kennels better so that Black Wind and Tiger can live more comfortably.

By noon, Black Wind and Tiger's kennels had been set up.

Lu Pingchuan waved to Er Gou: "Hei Feng, Hu Zi, come and see your new home."

The two dogs ran over one after the other and went into their respective kennels.

A dozen seconds later, Black Wind was the first to emerge from the dog kennel.

"Woof...woof..."

It uttered two soft calls, stuck out its tongue, and began licking the soil from Lu Pingchuan's hand, as if it were thanking Lu Pingchuan.

Immediately afterwards, Tiger also crawled out of the kennel and, imitating Black Wind, began licking the dirt off Lu Pingchuan's other hand.

Lu Pingchuan smiled and patted the two dogs: "Black Wind, Tiger, you two will have to make do here. In a few days, I will definitely get you better dog kennels."

"Woof...woof..."

"Woof...woof..."

Er Gou seemed to understand and prostrated himself at Lu Pingchuan's feet.

Meanwhile, Nie Xiaoyu and her mother had already prepared the meal, making extra for Heifeng and Huzi.

Lu Pingchuan held the bowl, wolfing down the food in it, and said indistinctly, "Mother, Sister Xiaoyu, take Black Wind with you when you go out in the future. With it, you won't be afraid of bad people."

"No need, is there?" Mrs. Lu chuckled. "We're just going out to buy groceries and visit neighbors. Why would we bring Black Wind along? Besides, society is so much better now. Where would we find so many bad people?"

Lu Pingchuan and Nie Xiaoyu did not tell their mother about Lu Pingsheng and Luo Sanpao. In the past two months, Lu's parents had accepted Lu Pingsheng's death. If they told her the truth, it would bring back painful memories.

But Nie Xiaoyu was different. He knew that the bad guys Lu Pingchuan was talking about were Li Daniu and his brothers, Luo Sanpao and his gang.

"Mother," Nie Xiaoyu whispered in agreement, "The world isn't as peaceful as you see it. Pingchuan is right. For safety's sake, we should take Heifeng with us when we go out."

"Alright, alright." Mother Lu smiled kindly. "I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll take Black Wind with me whenever I go out."

Lu Pingchuan quickly finished the rice in his bowl, put it down, and stood up, saying, "Mother, Sister Xiaoyu, I have to go out tonight. If I'm not back by ten o'clock, you can just lock the door and rest."

Now that we have police dogs, we no longer need to worry about home safety. It's time to go and meet Zhao Hongying.
