I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 199 Forming a Dog Team

Bai Lizheng was surprised. "You mean, if our village can't be defended, you are willing to take everyone to escape to Jia Village to avoid disaster?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded. "I have already communicated with my grandparents, the clan leader and elders of Jiajia Village. As long as we control the people we bring with us, they are willing to accept us temporarily."

Bai Lizheng and several elders were overjoyed. "Okay, okay, you young people are still thinking long-term! Tomorrow, tomorrow we old guys will go to Jia Village."

Gu Wenxuan smiled, "Then we have to plan a safe route for the whole village to escape in advance, and set up traps along the way in advance. Later on, we will also need to temporarily organize villagers to conduct retreat drills."

Bai Lizheng nodded vigorously, "Just arrange whatever you want to do. I'll have Bai Rong follow you around every day and do errands for you."

Bai Rong is Bai Lizheng's nephew and also the next Lizheng that he favors. He can represent Bai Lizheng in many cases. With him standing behind Gu Wenxuan, Gu Wenxuan will face fewer doubts and oppositions in everything she does.

Gu Wenxuan was very happy. She liked this kind of reasonable leader who trusted people and never doubted them. With the intention of returning a favor, Gu Wenxuan took the initiative to propose:

"The dogs are alert, so why not let them work with the patrol team at night? Of course, I won't use the village dogs for nothing. Not only will the dogs on night patrol have hot soup and hot porridge every day, but I can also give the dogs' owners half a pound of food every day."

Bai Lizheng waved his hands, "They are just a few dogs, there is no need to waste them like this."

"It's necessary. Village chief, although they are dogs, they are also important members of our patrol team. Moreover, unlike humans, they are particularly alert and will not slack off."

Gu Wenxuan asked Bai Lizheng, "Grandpa Lizheng, can you ensure that everyone in our village will not let down their guard or slack off in private?"

Bai Lizheng sighed. He couldn't, but he also knew that if Gu Wenxuan really did that, the villagers would definitely make sarcastic remarks, and there would definitely be people who would find ways to deduct the food from the dogs because they felt sorry for the food.

Didn’t you see that even this old man’s first reaction was to feel sorry for the food?

But don’t let those people anger Gu Wenxuan, because Gu Wenxuan will get so angry that she will cut off the source of the trouble and stop providing everyone with hot soup and porridge.

He could guess with his knees what the reaction of those petty-minded people would be.

They didn't think they were wrong, they just thought Gu Wenxuan was going too far. Not only was the food she gave to the dog better than what they ate at home, but she also got furious because they stole a little bit, and she couldn't tell which was more important, people or dogs.

If a riot really breaks out, the people of Baijia Village will immediately lose their morale.

Bai Lizheng told Gu Wenxuan about his concerns, and several elders of the Bai family also earnestly advised her not to test people's hearts.

Bai Jingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Then let's buy a dog and raise it ourselves."

It's their own dog, no one else has the right to tell them what they want to feed.

Gu Wenxuan thought about it and felt that this was a better approach. She said, "Then let's do this."

People's ideas are difficult to change. Just as she firmly believes that dogs are more loyal, dedicated and reliable companions than most villagers, those villagers will also firmly believe that they are more noble than those dogs who wag their tails and beg for food.

Rather than trying to change people's deeply rooted ideas with force, it is indeed less troublesome for her to raise and train the dog herself.

However, her original idea of ​​using this opportunity to subsidize those families in the village who raise dogs seems impossible now.

They did what they said. After discussing the follow-up matters with Bai Lizheng and others, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou immediately sent a martial arts master to each of their farms.

These martial arts masters were all taught by Gu Wenxuan before. They did not need to teach them the farmer's system of boxing, kicking, stick techniques, sword techniques and archery techniques. They only needed to teach them how to cooperate with each other and how to use the simplest moves to defeat the invading enemies.

It is not easy to learn systematic martial arts, but there is still a great chance of quick success by just learning three moves and a few simple military formations.

After Fang Youfu and other martial arts masters left, Gu Wenxuan accompanied Bai Lizheng and others to Jiajia Village.

Bai Lizheng and others went to visit the shelter, while Gu Wenxuan went to ask her grandparents for help in buying a dog. The dogs there were all wolfhounds, which were more alert, smart, and ferocious.

She wanted it urgently, and she didn't want puppies, but big dogs and half-grown dogs that could be used right away.

Father Jia said that he would ask for Gu Wenxuan, but he also gave Gu Wenxuan a warning, "It's easy to get the little brat, but it's hard to use it right away."

Eight out of ten families here are hunters. They raise dogs to take them into the mountains for hunting. To them, dogs are as important as cows in ordinary farmers' homes. Unless there are special circumstances, no family would be willing to sell their dogs.

Gu Wenxuan had anticipated this, she said: "If you can receive it, then receive it. If you can't receive it, don't force it."

Father Jia nodded and said, "If I don't send you a dog within three days, you can go to the town and other villages around Baijia Village to buy some healthy local dogs. You can use them for the time being."

Although the local dogs that ordinary people outside the mountains raise to guard their homes are not as alert, smart, and fierce as wolfhounds, they are abundant and easy to buy, which is more suitable for her current situation.

Gu Wenxuan nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you for three days."

That being said, in fact, the day after Gu Wenxuan returned from Jiajia Village, she asked Bai Jingzhou to go to the town to help her buy healthy local dogs between one and five years old.

She knew that even if Father Jia could help her buy suitable dogs, he could only buy two or three at most, never more. This number was certainly far from enough for her, so she did not really wait for three days.

She said to Bai Jingzhou, "Please buy me 20 local dogs first. This way, whether my grandfather can help me buy dogs or not, our business will not be delayed."

Bai Jingzhou also understood the alertness and loyalty of dogs. Without saying a word, he took Ning Qirui to the town to buy a dog for Gu Wenxuan.

They offered high prices, so not only the poor families in the town, but also people from surrounding villages who came to buy or sell things were willing to sell their dogs to them.

In just one day, Bai Jingzhou successfully bought twenty dogs that met his requirements.

He handed all these dogs to Gu Wenxuan, who looked at them one by one and thought they were all very good, so she called over four wolfhounds from her family and Bai Jingzhou's family.
