Chapter 382: Chapter 382: The Idea of a Beast Entering the Village to Beat a Dog (1)_1

The villagers exchanged looks; although they knew Mo Qingze meant well, after all, the dog was a beast and couldn’t understand human speech. How could it grasp the concept of patrolling to guard against wild animals?

"Mr. Mo, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but after all this dog is a beast. Can it really patrol faithfully every night?"

"Ha-ha, exactly! But, Mr. Mo, you need to study, and there are only a few kids at your home, so it doesn’t matter if no one from your family patrols. As for your home, located on the edge of the mountain and having a good dog, it can keep watch for us."

"Right, Mr. Mo’s family doesn’t need to send someone to patrol, anyway there are many people in our village, missing one won’t matter."

"..."

Several people stepped forward and politely declined Mo Qingze’s offer. They also knew that the walls of the Mo Family were so high and surrounded by two layers of thorns that even if wild beasts came, they couldn’t get in, and thus it didn’t really affect the Mo Family if they didn’t send someone to patrol.

"This..."

Upon hearing them, Mo Qingze felt deeply uncomfortable. It was because of the beasts at his home that the villagers were anxious and had to patrol in the cold night. Yet, even though they had his family’s interests at heart, he couldn’t tell them the truth.

Thinking he felt uneasy about it, the villagers smiled and said it was nothing and told him to focus on his studies. They would patrol each night at his home, so he didn’t have to worry.

Mo Qingze felt increasingly ashamed, but after some thought, he said, "How about we let Little Flower lead the village dogs for a trial? If it works, we can let them do it, but if not, we will do it ourselves. This way, we won’t delay anything."

Before anyone else could speak, Yang Bao chuckled and nodded, "I think that’s possible! Let’s form teams to patrol for these few days and also let those dogs guard the trails down the mountain. If they can stay and watch faithfully, we can also sleep peacefully in this cold weather, can’t we?"

"Hmm, then let’s do that!" The villagers originally thought it was feasible, and now that even the village chief had spoken, naturally no one would oppose it.

Mo Qingze, seeing this, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and his smile became more relaxed.

While everyone was quietly discussing how to form groups, a discordant voice rang out, "Humph, feeding dogs with grains for no reason, who knows what he’s scheming behind the scenes!"

The moment they heard this, everyone knew exactly who it was aimed at. Following the sound, their eyes fell on Wang Dali standing at the doorstep, causing them to frown.

"Don’t look at me, I haven’t said anything wrong!" Seeing everyone’s gaze on him, Wang Dali snorted defiantly, lifting his chin scornfully as he spoke to Mo Qingze, "Nobody’s grain is blown in by the wind. There are about ten dogs in the village that would consume quite a bit of grain each day. Does the Mo Family have such good intentions?"

Knowing that Wang Dali resented being driven out of his own home, Mo Qingze smiled amiably, not taking the bait. His gentle demeanor sharply contrasted with Wang Dali’s sarcasm, causing people to unconsciously side with him.

Unable to bear listening, someone spoke up to the smug Wang Dali, "Don’t think everyone is as low as you. Mr. Mo can’t bear to see us all freeze, so he came up with this method. If you don’t like it, just patrol by yourself. No one is stopping you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dali was livid, pointing an irrational finger at the person who spoke, "I’m talking facts here. When has the Mo Family ever been at a loss under the guise of doing good deeds? If you say there are no ulterior motives this time, I’ll be the first not to believe it!"

That person, also angered, gestured with his fists mockingly, "Then you tell us, what ulterior motive is Mr. Mo up to? The few dogs in the village run out of breath after running a short distance; besides guarding the door, what do you think they can do?"

Wang Dali choked, and under the mocking gazes of the other villagers, he shrank back and was speechless.
