Chapter 36: The Taste of the Other
Chapter Thirty-Six: Other Flavors
THE ELEVATOR DOOR CLOSED SLOWLY, AND IN THE ELEVATOR, XIANG KUN HELD THE HAND OF THE LITTLE CHUBBY GIRL LIU SHILING, AND STOOD WITH SHILING'S MOTHER ON ONE SIDE, WHILE MISS YANG HELD HER DOG PINKIE ON THE OTHER SIDE.
It's just that at this time, the hutchis has completely lost its previous excitement, and the whole dog is shrunk into a ball, clinging to the corner of the elevator, as if it wants to shrink itself into the elevator wall.
Huskies are often called "Erha", because they often have convulsions, commit two crimes, and have poor obedience, love to make trouble, love to dismantle the house, and Alaska and Samoyed are called "sleigh three fools".
However, in fact, whether it is a husky or the other two types of sled dogs, the IQ is not low. The sled dog itself is a working dog domesticated by Siberian herders, and when pulling a sled in the wind and snow, their ability to distinguish the direction is stronger than that of humans, so they often need the head dog to make decisions and choices on their own.
Therefore, sled dogs are not very obedient, not because they do not understand the orders and intentions of their masters, but because they feel that they are smarter than their owners and like to make their own decisions, and the owners have not established enough WeChat to subdue them. Or maybe they deliberately want to be naughty and mischievous to achieve their own goals.
The husky raised by Miss Yang is obviously not tamed, let alone treating her as the master, I am afraid that even if she is a companion, she has a lower status than it.
Xiang Kun knew that the husky just now didn't want to attack the chubby girl, but just wanted to play with her. But in that case, if you are pounced, not to mention that it is easy to fall and get injured, the psychological shock alone is not light.
In the final analysis, the dog is not trained well, and it is still Miss Yang's pot.
However, Miss Yang can't control her pet, but Xiang Kun can.
In the past, when he used to "patrol the streets" at night, he would occasionally meet wild dogs, wild cats, or people who came out to walk their dogs in the middle of the night.
He found out at that time that as long as those cats and dogs noticed him, he held his breath, tensed his muscles slightly, and exuded a fierce aura, they would immediately retreat and run away or even lie on the ground, even if he didn't do anything at all.
I once met a Labrador who was loosened by the owner's leash and ran over to sniff him, but he glanced at it and lay on the ground and didn't dare to move. And when they met again the next day, even if they were led by his master, as soon as they saw Xiang Kun, they immediately lay down, lowered their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and didn't dare to move no matter how much the master pulled.
When he was at home, Xiang Kun also experimented with the meat rabbits he bought, which made the rabbits tremble and shrink into a ball.
But it didn't seem to be useful to birds, the pigeons in the square, the sparrows on the wall, all ignored his "intimidation", and when he went to the vegetable market, he ignored him even after experimenting with chickens and ducks.
Xiang Kun guessed that this should be due to cats, dogs and other animals with relatively sensitive sensory abilities, and through the pheromones emitted from his body, he sensed a strong danger, so he would have such a performance.
Anyway, now, he can be sure that in the future, the husky raised by Miss Yang will immediately take a detour when he sees him or the little chubby girl.
The little chubby girl took Xiang Kun's hand, curiously stuck her head out of his thigh, and looked at the husky "facing the wall" in the corner of the elevator, and the fright and fear in her eyes slowly dissipated.
"If you're not afraid of it, it's going to be afraid of you. Xiang Kun touched the little chubby girl's head and said.
Shiling's mother next to her looked at Xiang Kun, and then at the husky that suddenly fell off in the corner, and had some doubts in her heart, she saw it clearly on the side, and the dog seemed to be "scared" when she glanced at Xiang Kun?
The elevator quickly reached the first floor, and until Xiang Kun led the little chubby girl and Shiling's mother out of the electronic door of the building, Miss Yang still couldn't pull her dog out of the elevator.
......
After leaving the community and saying goodbye to the little chubby girl and her mother, Xiang Kun first walked briskly, and after walking for 10 minutes, he started running.
He ran very fast, attracting the side eyes of many passers-by, looking at the way he was carrying a bag, thinking that he was an office worker in a hurry, but he was not much surprised.
Of course, they didn't know that Xiang Kun would have to run more than 20 kilometers this time.
Xiang Kun did not run at the limit of his own speed, but at a moderate speed, allowing him to have the ability to observe and think at the same time.
He once roughly measured the speed of 100 meters himself, probably at the level of more than 11 seconds.
For ordinary people, this must be a very amazing achievement, at least at the level of a national second-level athlete, but compared to Xiang Kun, since it is far from the point of surpassing the limits of the human body, it can only be said to be average.
However, if it is a long-distance run, Xiang Kun feels that he should easily break several world records.
After all, his recovery ability is so fast that he can run for a long time at close to top speed, and after reaching the limit, he can jog for a while and then continue in full condition, if it is used in a marathon, it can almost be said that it is open.
While Xiang Kun was running, he was also observing his surroundings, recording the surrounding streets, roadside shops or other landmark buildings, and comparing them with the online map he had seen in advance last night to build a three-dimensional information map of the area in his mind.
This is not only because he needs to understand the environment of this area in the future, but also because he needs to train his observation and memory skills at the same time.
Xiang Kun ran to the gym in more than an hour, which is naturally much slower than using public transportation, but compared to running, it is a very strong result. What's more, Xiang Kun at this time basically didn't sweat much, and he didn't show any tiredness.
However, after spending a morning at the gym, Xiang Kun made a decision not to come to this gym again.
The young coach in the boxing gym downstairs, after knowing that Xiang Kun came to the gym, came over and asked Xiang Kun if he wanted to join their gym, not as a student, but as a boxer. He revealed that one of the founders of the gym, that is, when he was playing with Xiang Kun before, the old coach who was the referee was willing to teach Xiang Kun in person.
Xiang Kun thanked them for their favor, but still refused.
This incident made him realize that his performance in the gym during this time, combined with his performances in the gym and hiking with Tang Baona the other day, had made a lot of people notice that he was special, and it was natural that they would pay more attention to him.
Although he knows that after refusal, the people in the gym may not come back to pester, but this attention will still exist. It's as if he no longer uses extreme weights for bench presses, squats, deadlifts and other training, but many coaches and members of the gym still often pay attention to his training, after all, his first few achievements in the gym have spread, and everyone will be curious about how he practiced.
In this case, his training in the gym will naturally become a little withdrawn and have a lot of concerns.
So although the membership card has only been issued for a long time, and it can't be transferred, it's a pity, but Xiang Kun can only change places to train.
Fortunately, the training he is doing now is not very dependent on equipment, and it can be carried out with bare hands.
So after leaving the gym, Xiang Kun spent the whole afternoon looking for a more secluded city within ten kilometers of the neighborhood where he lived, where he could train and test with confidence.
In the end, the selected location was a hill more than four kilometers away from the community.
At the foot of the hill there is an abandoned construction site where a villa area was supposed to be built, but then it is unknown why it was not built.
The residents who used to live on the edge have all moved away, and the side of the mountain looks like a mess, basically no one comes, overgrown with weeds, and it is not even easy to find a road.
When the sun sets and the sky gets dark, it is even more silent here, and there is no light to be seen at all, looking at a few communities in the distance, there is a feeling of being in the shadows and peeking into the outside world.
Xiang Kun was very satisfied with this place and decided to do various exercises here for the time being.
Although it is not very far from the residential area, there is a lot less interference from smells, sounds and various lights, which is very suitable for Xiang Kun's sensory training.
Compared with the taste of cities and residential areas, the taste of this mountain is much simpler, but for Xiang Kun, it is relatively unfamiliar.
He smelled a smell of decay and blood, not far from himself, and according to his discernment, it should be the corpse of a rat?
He followed the smell, turned on the light of his phone, and saw that there was indeed a mouse in the haystack that had been disemboweled.
After confirming his judgment, Xiang Kun was about to leave, but he suddenly stopped again, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, carefully discerning the pheromones emitted in the air.
In addition to the smell of the rat, there is a hint of other smells left by the animal that hunted the rat?
