Chapter 1086: 721: Some Cherish, Some Spur; Some Care, Some Inspire

Bai Fengmao was clearly quite satisfied with Ah Bu’s seemingly professional demeanor, giving him a thumbs-up, so the old man slowly started to shepherd a few chickens forward...The chickens with their two legs swung their heads around, realizing danger was closing in...

"Woo woo woo..."

Ah Bu let out a low growl...

His pair of round eyes were wide open, the old man had already targeted the fattest hen and was ready to catch it, right at the critical moment...

The mischievous brother and sister jumped into the chicken coop!

"Wah woo!"

Shuangshuang shouted!

Suddenly, the coop was in chaos, with chickens flying and dogs barking, feathers scattered everywhere.

Bai Fengmao turned around to see the siblings in their clean clothes running straight into the chicken coop, quickly slapped his thigh, and pointed at Su Xiaomeng who was leaning against the door, watching the scene, saying,

"It’s full of chicken poop in there, hurry and get them out!"

"Great-grandfather, Shuangshuang is helping you catch chickens!"

Shuangshuang heard her grandpa’s words like he was complaining about them, immediately raised her hand to express her willingness to help.

Prince Huang and Shuangshuang were different; they just jumped in out of a sudden whim following Shuangshuang, but once he got in, Prince Huang regretted it.

This coop was really dirty.

"Shuangshuang, be good, great-grandfather can catch chickens, and once I catch one, I’ll make chicken soup for you to drink!"

"But great-grandfather hasn’t caught one yet."

Shuangshuang honestly pointed out the truth.

Bai Fengmao was slightly embarrassed by Shuangshuang’s words, cleared his throat, and quickly said,

"It’s mainly Ah Bu making trouble!"

Old Ah Bu now had a chicken in his mouth, and upon hearing Bai Fengmao call his name, he immediately raised his head, wagging his tail waiting for praise.

"Wow! Ah Bu caught it! Ah Bu is amazing!"

Bai Fengmao never expected that at his age, he would be shown up by a dog.

"Woo woo..."

Ah Bu whined and snuggled next to Bai Fengmao, Bai Fengmao wasn’t very willing, but he still took the chicken from Ah Bu’s mouth, leading the two kids and the old dog out of the coop.

Only then did Su Xiaomeng step forward, smiling as she asked her grandfather,

"Why are you catching chickens here?"

"There’s just one person working outside, and there’s no time, another helper lady took leave and couldn’t come up the mountain today."

"...Why not wait for me to catch them then, you running into the coop to catch chickens by yourself, what if you fell..."

"Isn’t Ah Bu here?"

Bai Fengmao no longer cared about Old Ah Bu showing him up earlier.

He reached out to pat Ah Bu’s head.

Su Xiaomeng watched, thinking it was incredible,

"This dog bit a chicken without drawing blood..."

Bai Fengmao couldn’t help but boast,

"You should know whose dog this is, it’s very sensitive... once a chicken steps out of the coop, if I don’t give my permission, it will never bite it."

"Indeed, impressive."

"Ah Bu’s mother was raised by your mom, and that dog was also very sensitive... but it didn’t get to see your mom one last time before it passed away."

Su Xiaomeng, upon hearing this, felt an inexplicable sadness tug at her heartstrings.

Looking at Ah Bu...

Ah Bu was at that moment sticking close to Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, sniffing the scents of the two little ones.

Shuangshuang reached out to pat Ah Bu’s head, very adeptly saying,

"Bubu, you’re so good, you’re amazing, later I’ll give you a chicken leg to eat!"

"Pfft..."

The sense of sorrow was dissipated by the little girl’s words.

Ah Bu lifted his head, nudging Shuangshuang’s palm, and then silently staying close to Bai Fengmao.

After Bai Fengmao handed the chicken to the old servant, washed his hands, and sat down, Ah Bu also settled, lying at Bai Fengmao’s feet...

Shuangshuang liked Ah Bu, and at Yijing Manor, there wasn’t much else to do, so Shuangshuang stayed close to the dog...

At first, Ah Bu would roll over, lift his leg giving Shuangshuang some response, after that he only moved his round eyes...

Bai Fengmao saw this, pulled Shuangshuang up, and said to her,

"Ah Bu helped great-grandfather catch chickens and got tired, he needs to rest for a while."

"Ah? Ah Bu is tired..."

Shuangshuang was a bit disappointed because Ah Bu couldn’t play with her, but immediately felt a sense of care and gently stroked Ah Bu’s fur,

"Ah Bu, have a good rest... sleep well..."

Bai Fengmao looked at Little Shuangshuang and said to Su Xiaomeng,

"She’s a gentle and caring child..."

Su Xiaomeng nodded, undeniable, though this little girl sometimes behaved like a mischievous boy, playing pranks and making trouble, she was indeed kind-hearted and gentle.

Prince Huang, without saying a word, sprawled on the sofa, holding a wooden carving of an eagle, his small hand examining the eagle’s head and wings inch by inch.
