Chapter 697: Evil Dogs, Stay Away
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. She asked, “Do you know the location of the manor that Brother Shao bought?”
“I know.” She had already asked her father about this.
Gu Yundong paused and said, “Let’s go to the manor to take a look.”
“Eh?”
Tong Shuitao was puzzled, but her hands deftly turned the horse and drove in the direction of the manor.
Gu Yundong recalled what Shao Qingyuan had said before he left. There seemed to be something going on in the manor. She was curious and decided to take a look.
Tong Shuitao happened to know the location. In any case, she was not in a hurry to return to Yongfu Village.
She was actually very curious. Her father had been to the manor, but she had never been there. This was the betrothal gift that the future husband would give to his wife. As the young miss, she naturally had to announce her identity.
Thinking of this, Tong Shuitao was slightly excited, and the speed of the carriage increased.
Gu Yundong, who was admiring the scenery outside: “…”
The manor was indeed not far away. Gu Yundong saw the things planted in the fields from a distance.
Shao Qingyuan had said that a portion of the land was originally used to grow fruits.
Later on, after he bought it, it just so happened that after the farming season, the fields that planted food had already harvested. He instructed them not to plant food, but to plant fruit trees and medicinal herbs.
Many tenants were unwilling, but Shao Qingyuan had always been decisive. If they didn’t agree, he wouldn’t rent it to these tenants. Originally, when the farmstead changed owners, the previous contract between the tenants and the original owners had already been broken. Even if Shao Qingyuan replaced all of them, no one would dare to say anything.
Only then did the tenants not dare to say anything. Later on, when they heard Shao Qingyuan say that he would buy all the fruits and herbs they planted and that the price was not low, they were relieved and began to plant them.
Gu Yundong looked at the fields and saw all kinds of fruit trees.
Some fruit trees must have been transplanted from other places. The trunks were tall.
Some fruit trees were originally planted here, and they were already filled with fruits.
Some of them had just been planted, and only tree saplings that were half the height of a person appeared. However, it could be seen that they were all well taken care of.
Most of these fruit trees were in the periphery, and the medicinal herbs were inside. It seemed that they were surrounded and protected by these fruit trees.
There was a fence around the fruit trees, which was similar to the orchard in Yongfu Village.
The carriage got closer and closer. Just as they were about to see the shadow of the manor, a series of barks suddenly entered their ears.
Tong Shuitao was shocked. She instinctively pulled the reins tightly, and the carriage suddenly stopped.
In the blink of an eye, the barking of the dog was right in front of him.
What made people’s hearts skip a beat was the sound of barking continued. It was obvious that it was not one dog.
Sure enough, in the next moment, three tall and fierce dogs rushed out from three directions and surrounded the carriage.
Tong Shuitao: “…”

F*ck, this dog even knew how to outflank?
The three dogs did not approach her either. They stood two meters away from the carriage and looked at them covetously, but their eyes were fierce and ready to attack.
It was as if as long as Tong Shuitao made any movement, they would pounce forward in the next moment and tear her into pieces.
Fortunately, Tong Shuitao was strong and good at martial arts. She had also entered the mountains and met wild boars before. She was not afraid of dogs.
She even glared at them one by one and sneered. “Evil dogs, stay away. Otherwise, I won’t be polite.”
