Chapter Six: Surveillance

  So, Da Gou and Er Gou started their stalking life.

  The big dog and the second dog chose a place where no one noticed, then put down their things, and spread out the quilt on the ground like this.

  The daytime is still okay, except for being a bit hot, nothing else.

  As soon as it was evening, entering the early summer night, apart from the heat, there were mosquitoes and all sorts of insects, which made life difficult for the two brothers.

  Luckily, the big dog had thought it through and bought a box of cooling oil on his way here. Now it's finally coming in handy.

  The first night was quiet and still, except for the occasional appearance of the woman to go to the toilet or fetch firewood; otherwise, no one else was seen.

  The two brothers whispered in the depths of the thick grass.

  "Brother, can we find our master? I'm almost dying of anxiety. Every time I see others with their mothers leading them, I feel uneasy in my heart."

  The two dogs said with low spirits.

  "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely succeed in finding a master. As long as we are willing to work hard, I believe that one day we will surely avenge our mother."

  The big dog comforted the second dog like this.

  "Brother, do you miss mom?"

  "It's unbearable to think about it, when mom was still alive, she treated us so well! I really miss the sweet potato cakes mom used to make."

  When he said this, the big dog had a happy face.

  "Yes, mother's hands are really clever. Although the family has been in poor condition all along, mother relies on her own diligence and thriftiness to make life a happy one despite the hardships. It's all that scoundrel Huang Batian's fault! Just thinking of him makes me want to go up and bite him to death!"

  Two Dogs is an impulsive person. Every time his mother is mentioned, he becomes agitated and would like to eat Huang Ba Tian's flesh and drink Huang Ba Tian's blood.

  The big dog is very familiar with his younger brother and knows what to say and what not to say. He also knows that if this continues for a long time, it will be bad for the second dog's physical and mental development.

  You think about it, a person is always wrapped in hatred every day, making him breathless. The enemy is right in front of you, but you can't take revenge, this feeling is as painful as cutting the heart.

  "Brother, trust our choice. Since we want to learn from a master, we should have patience. At this time, you must not act impulsively. Huang Batian's old man is the village head, and behind the village head, there are backers. For now, they are mountains that we cannot move. However, it won't be long before we grow in power, and then it will be the time to take Huang Batian's life."

  Two dogs looking at a big dog, excitedly grabbed his brother's hand, fingernails embedded in the flesh, but didn't notice.

  "Brother, don't worry, although I'm usually impulsive, but for this matter, I know that being anxious won't help. I'll diligently learn from a master and acquire skills, then personally take down that beast."

  Two dogs gazed steadfastly at the distant starry sky, silently vowing to grow up as soon as possible. Otherwise, they would not be able to face their mother's spirit in heaven.

  "Brother, I naturally believe in you. You are a very intelligent person. As long as you have a stage, I believe you will definitely achieve great things."

  The big dog is very good at adapting to changing circumstances, criticizing what needs to be criticized and praising without hesitation.

  And so, the two brothers, accompanied by the night, wrapped in their blankets, talked about many things from before, passing the time like this.

  The first night passed peacefully.

  The next day, the big dog told his brother to go out for a walk and come back later.

  The two dogs left, leaving the big dog alone squatting here by itself.

  In the afternoon, Er Gou came back and brought some wild fruits he picked for Da Gou.

  "Brother, look what I've brought for you!"

  As he said this, Er Gou tossed the bag in his hand to Da Gou.

  "What's good stuff?"

  The big dog took over the bag, and the bag was still hot. When he opened it, oh dear, it turned out to be rabbit meat.

  "Today was a good day, I went to the back mountain and took a walk around. Then I checked on the traps I set up before and unexpectedly caught a big grey rabbit. I skinned it and roasted it. Originally I wanted to bring it over here to roast, but I was afraid of starting a fire and alerting that woman."

  Although the two men were impulsive, they were not stupid at all and knew the severity of the situation.

  "Come on, little brother, let's eat together while it's hot."

  The two brothers have a very good relationship and whatever they have, they share it. The big dog knows that his younger brother will not eat alone by himself.

  "Hey, you eat first, bro, I'll keep watch for a while. You've been staring at this for half the day, let me take over."

  The big dog also followed his brother's meaning, broke off two rabbit legs and handed them to his brother, then lay on the quilt and started eating the rabbit meat.

  "Brother, why did you give me all the best ones? I only need one, you take one too."

  As he spoke, he handed a rabbit leg back to the big dog.

  "Hurry up and eat, little brother, listen to me. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

  The big dog didn't answer, knowing that his little brother hadn't had a decent meal of meat for some time either. Looking at his thin and weak little brother, the big dog felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

  So the two brothers pushed and shoved each other for a rabbit leg. In the end, Er Gou gave in and couldn't withstand his brother's persuasion.

  "Brother, in the future when I become rich, I will definitely give a lot of money to dad and you. Let you guys spend it for the rest of your lives without finishing it."

  The big dog family now has three people living together. Usually, as long as the old father has a little bit of good food, he always thinks of his two brothers.

  "Yes, looking at Dad's body over the past two years, it's getting worse year by year. It's really worrying. Especially his waist, I don't know if it can be cured or not. I'm afraid that one day Dad's waist will become completely hunched."

  Dong Sheng's father was also a kind-hearted farmer. Since his mother passed away when he was a child, he had been raising two children on his own, playing the roles of both father and mother. He worked hard without complaint, but often suffered bullying from the local tyrant Huang Ba Tian.

  Unexpectedly encountered continuous rain overnight.

  Years ago when I went to town to sell eggs, I even sprained my waist. This time it's even more miserable.

  "Dad has had a tough life!"

  The two brothers encouraged themselves in their hearts, determined to change the current situation. Let Father have a comfortable life, no longer be bullied by others, and not have to live every day with his face facing the yellow earth and his back facing the sky.

  Time passed day by day.

  The two brothers have been squatting here for three days and three nights.

  "Brother, looking at us like this, won't we arouse the widow's suspicion? After all, no one knows when that Wang Daifu will come."

  "It's okay, let's hide in the bushes as much as possible. I've brought a quilt with me, we can take turns keeping watch. As long as we persist, I'm sure we'll be able to wait it out."

  "Alright, bro, you take care of it during the day today, and I'll take care of it at night. It's tougher at night, but I'm in good shape, so I can handle it."

  "How can that be? You are my younger brother, you come during the day and I'll guard at night."

  "But... your body has been poor since childhood, I'll stay up late tonight instead."

  "That's it, no more arguing, it's settled."

  So, Da Gou and Er Gou began their long vigil.

  It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day... Er Gou said impatiently, "When is Wang Daifu coming? We've been waiting for four days, could it be that he's not coming?"

  "Be patient, little brother. Shh, don't speak, it's coming."

  At this time, the only barefoot doctor in the village, Wang Dafu, carrying his medicine box, walked up from the slope. When he was about to reach the top of the slope, he looked around and then walked straight to the widow's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door, knocking once, then stopping for a while, and then knocking twice again.

  This shouldn't be wrong, usually when people look for someone, they knock on the door and shout at the same time. This Wang Daifu obviously didn't make a sound, maybe it's some kind of secret signal between them.

  "Second Dog, hurry down the mountain to inform Brother Hua and Big Fool, tell them to come quickly, I'll keep watching here."

  Hurry up and come back soon, be careful on your way.

  "Alright, bro, I'm going now, you be careful here too. If we don't come back, whatever you do, don't make any reckless moves."

  After finishing speaking, Er Gou ran quickly down the mountain towards the village below.

  The words were divided into two parts, and speaking of this Wang Daifu, a notorious bad doctor in the village. After knocking on the door, it creaked open, revealing a small gap, from which a woman's face peeked out cautiously.

  This woman is a well-known widow in the village, surnamed Ding. Her husband left with others to make money early on and has not returned until now, it's unknown whether he's dead or what happened, leaving this widow alone at home. This widow doesn't follow the traditional way of being a widow either, often rumors spread about her flirting with men from this household and that household, very few people in the village interact with her, but this isn't her fault, who made her husband leave her alone at home?

  "Here, come in quickly, is anyone following you?"

  "No, I've been very careful all along, hurry up and let me in, there are a lot of mosquitoes outside."

  "Missed me? My little sweetheart, I've been thinking of you till death. Come and give me a good kiss, it's been so many days."

  "Missing you, okay? You haven't come for so many days, don't even know where you've been fooling around?"

  "Alright, alright, isn't there a target that needs to be implemented in the town recently? I have the opportunity to transfer to the town, so what's wrong with me trying to build some connections?"

  "Really? Then you'll be a true eater of national grain from now on. Don't forget about me, okay?"

  "How could I forget? I forgot who can't forget you, my little treasure." While speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched the widow's chest a few times. "Right, I haven't eaten yet, get me something to eat, I'm starving, just came back from town, told that old tigress at home that I was going out on a medical call, and snuck over here."

  "Alright, you wait for a moment, I'll go cook some rice and make dinner for you."

  Luckily it was Wang Daifu who hadn't eaten dinner, otherwise Yuan Hua and the others would have found nothing even if they had searched.

  After about half an hour, Yuan Huan, Er Gou and Da Sha panted as they ran up from the foot of the mountain to the grass where Da Gou was squatting. Yuan Huan asked anxiously: "Da Gou, is it certain that the evil doctor is inside? Don't make a mistake."

  "Don't worry, it won't be wrong. I've seen it clearly, that evil doctor is still carrying that medicine box. You said there's only one doctor in our village, so it can't be mistaken."

  "Alright, let's go this way. Big dog, you and I will sneak around to the back, under the window, and listen to what they're saying. Dumb and Second Dog, you two block the front door for me. If we accidentally alert them, don't let that pair of dogs get away, got it?"

  "Uh-huh, got it, Brother Hao." Er Gou and Da Sha replied in unison.
