Chapter 1: Haji's Homecoming
At this point, the person trying to rescue the truck driver had given up. The truck that overturned under heavy load was badly damaged, and the entire cab was completely twisted and deformed like a smashed can. No matter how strong these enthusiastic people were, they were helpless against the deformed car body, so everyone had to retreat and wait for the arrival of follow-up rescue forces.
Haji lay next to Xiao Zhang and Captain Zhao, a little discouraged. It hasn't been long since the accident, and the rescue vehicles haven't come yet, so it is estimated that Xiao Zhang and they will have to endure it for a while. Although the injuries on the surface of the two of them are not very serious, who knows how serious the injuries inside the two of them are?
There are more and more onlookers at the scene of the crash, and people are very friendly to Haji. First, they all looked up to Haji when they knew that he was a search and rescue dog; second, many people knew that Haji was busy asking people for help just now, and they all praised Haji, and people had a good impression of the faithful Haji.
While waiting, Xiao Zhang suddenly made a ** sound and gradually woke up. Seeing this, Haji quickly stood up, let out a low whin, and then looked at him with concern.
"Haji, don't run around! turn around and run away again......" Xiao Zhang glanced at the surrounding situation, and saw that Haji was by his side with him, he raised his hand weakly. Probably because the injuries on his body were involved, Xiao Zhang's hand still didn't lift up in the end, so he had to reluctantly tell Haji. After doing these simple and simple actions, Xiao Zhang's strength seemed to be almost consumed, and then Xiao Zhang closed his eyes, not knowing whether he fainted or closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of rescue.
Originally, Haji didn't have any other ideas, but as soon as Xiao Zhang's words came out, an idea suddenly appeared in Xiao Zhang's mind, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.
Haji is already one year and three months old, and in a few months he will be a standard adult dog, which also means that he is close to his scheduled escape. But according to the current situation, do you really need to wait a few more months before escaping?
If he escapes in a few months, no matter how Haji escapes, someone in the search and rescue dog squadron will be unlucky. Whether it is the gate post when he escaped, or his instructor Xiao Zhang, or even the leader of the squadron, he will be responsible. Because in the eyes of the leaders of the search and rescue dog squadron, the search and rescue dogs are not only their comrades-in-arms, but also the property handed over to them by the state. Someone will definitely be held accountable for the loss of a good search and rescue dog.
Haji was going to escape, and that was unstoppable, but he didn't want anyone to be punished for it, or to be unlucky for his escape. Although he came to the search and rescue dog squadron purely to have a place for him to get exercise, after several months of adaptation and tempering, Haji has developed a deep relationship with the officers and men of the search and rescue dog squadron.
Yes, human beings do have a relationship of slavery and use of search and rescue dogs, but this relationship is much cleaner than a simple slavery relationship. In the eyes of the officers and men of the squadron, Haji could see everyone's respect and love for the search and rescue dogs. Especially when they saw the people who retired from the army last year leaving the squadron and the former Squadron Leader Liu leaving, their eyes and demeanor revealed that they could not pretend to be nostalgic and reluctant to the search and rescue dog squadron and every search and rescue dog.
Therefore, although Haji's original plan to escape from the search and rescue dog squadron and return to his hometown to visit his mother in his previous life has not changed, he still does not want to see other innocent people hurt because of his own departure. But if you wait a few more months and then leave, someone will suffer no matter what, and the current situation is an exception.
If Haji escaped now, Captain Zhao and Xiao Zhang, who were seriously injured, would not be held responsible, and everyone could only blame the driver who drove the overloaded truck through the intersection without slowing down. One would only think that Haji must have been frightened in the traffic accident and fled. Besides, there were so many people surrounding the accident scene, the squadron would definitely think that the scene was too chaotic, and even some people had the idea of beating Haji, which led to Haji's disappearance, and no one could record this account on Squadron Leader Zhao and Xiao Zhang.
As soon as the thought of escaping came to Haji's mind, it grew like a weed in spring. Now he is almost a year and a half years old, and an adult who is almost eighteen years old in human terms. Although his body as a canine is not yet fully mature, he is quite strong.
Coupled with his months of hard training with the search and rescue dog squadron, Haji's physical strength, agility and speed have improved considerably. What's more, he still has a mind that no search and rescue dog has, a mind with human memory and thinking, in this case, if he leaves the search and rescue dog squadron, will he not be able to live? Will he not be able to find his mother in his previous life? Leaving at this time, people will only think that it is an accident, and he can just fulfill his greatest wish in this life!
At this time, the sirens of fire trucks and ambulances could be heard in the distance, and it was clear that the rescue team was about to arrive, and Haji would have no chance if he didn't make a decision. Haji made a decision in an instant, and he got up and ran over to the jeep of the overturned search and rescue dog squadron - there was also a bag of Haji's favorite dog food, which he needed on his escape.
Although someone noticed Haji's actions, no one thought it was anything out of the ordinary. People put a lot of trust in this intelligent and friendly search and rescue dog, and no one thought anything out of the ordinary could happen. Not to mention that now that fire trucks and ambulances are getting closer and closer, people are anxiously waiting for them to come and take the injured to the hospital and rescue the injured in the cab of the truck.
In this way, when the ambulances and fire trucks arrived, attention was focused on getting the wounded to the ambulances, and no one noticed when Haji disappeared. With the last packet of dog food in his mouth and the harness of the search and rescue dog squadron, Haji burrowed into a cornfield by the side of the road and fled.
Freedom! Freedom at last! The blue sky and the white clouds belong to you. You don't have to stay in that little kennel every day, and you don't have to do all that training in the service of humans in the training ground every day.
Haji considers himself worthy of a human, and although he hasn't been a search and rescue dog for very long, he has already done two missions with great success. has not only saved people, but also found out the bad guys, and also identified two murderers in court. Now it's time for Haji to live for his own thoughts, he has to do what he dreams of doing in this life, to pay off a debt for himself in his previous life. In her previous life, her mother was the one Haji felt most indebted!
Finding a tree in a place where no one was around, Haji rubbed off his chest harness, which had the logo of the search and rescue dog squadron on it, and anyone who looked at it knew Haji's identity. He didn't want to be found out about this, and that would ruin his plans. Besides, it's not comfortable to carry this play, otherwise why would Sun Monkey want to take off the golden hoop on his head so much?
After all this, Haji ate the bag of dog food in one go. It was still quite troublesome to rush with this thing in his mouth, and then he had to rush with all his strength and deal with the risks on the road. In the future, if you want to eat, you have to rely on Haji's ingenuity to solve it by herself.
Looking up at the sky, distinguishing east, west, north and south, Haji was on the road, heading in the direction of his home. When Liu Xiaohui and Brother Wang's house, Haji took the opportunity to look at the map and know the approximate location of his mother's house and his current location. Although there is no clear route, the name of the city that will pass through Haji is roughly remembered, and if you follow the name of the place, you should be able to find his home.
Now the season is not bad, lukewarm. The latitude here is relatively low, and it is not very cold in winter. With the hair on Haji's body, he can overcome it by finding a random place. Although the summer is a little harder, it is not too sad, and it is enough to find a place to hide when the temperature is high.
Haji's current location is 2,000 kilometers away from his hometown in his previous life, and if he is an individual, he can buy a high-speed rail ticket in about ten hours. But now Haji is just a dog, so naturally he can't take the train, so he can only walk all the way to his home in the northeast direction.
Along the way, find a place to rest when you are tired, find a clean water source to thirst for some water when you are thirsty, and find something to eat when you are hungry. After a few days, although Haji was not walking slowly, and he had already walked more than three hundred miles, he also realized that his idea was still simple before. It's not easy, it's not easy!
The physical strength is better, Haji's previous exercise and physical reserves are good, plus the canines themselves are good at running for a long time, Haji can almost walk a hundred miles a day. But this way of moving forward is okay for a short time, and walking for a long time is a challenge to Haji's physical fitness. The worst thing is that he doesn't have enough food and water now, and everything needs to be solved by himself.
In the first two days, when he was passing through some villages and towns, he sneaked into the courtyards of some people's houses that were not closed, and stole some food and water from the family's house. Although he would be discovered by those people's guard dogs and then disturbed by a random bark, those thin and timid pastoral dogs obviously did not dare to provoke him directly, and only dared to bark from a distance to call out their owners.
And the owners of the watchdog are unlikely to suspect anything when they see Haji calmly fleeing from a distance, after all, it is not unusual for a big black dog to suddenly appear in the countryside. Most people don't recognize the breed of this majestic black dog, and in line with the principle that more is better than less, Haji didn't bother at all.
