Chapter 16 The Begging Stray Dog 1

If you want to perform, you need to have a good place, which is why Haji came to the city. And the place in the city that can be suitable for selling art is in the bustling commercial street. Haji staggered down the street for a while, and finally found a bus stop sign with a map of the city. From there, Haji found the city's busiest shopping street.

After passing through most of the city, Haji finally came to the city's most prosperous commercial street, Heping Road. The road is in the heart of the city, and the main pedestrian street is a complete concentration of shops and commercial buildings. With a constant stream of people coming here every day to shop and spend, there is a good chance that Haji will find an opportunity here.

While there are some people in the city who are not very friendly to dogs, especially stray dogs, Haji believes that these people generally don't do anything in front of the public. Even if it is intended to be unfavorable to Haji, it is generally easier for city managers and the like. Fortunately, such people are dressed in uniform clothing, which is easy to identify and easy to dodge. It is far easier to guard against dog thieves lurking in the countryside with bows and arrows, and dog thieves riding under battery cars. So Haji would rather live in the city than in the more dangerous countryside.

Haji walked around the shopping street and took a closer look at the location of the chengguan and police officers on the street. He found that the chengguan and police on this street were not so strict, and the significance of serving as a façade when patrolling and standing guard seemed to be more significant than it actually was. In fact, think about it, now there are cameras everywhere on the street, whether it is illegal stalls and illegal crimes, it is very difficult, under normal circumstances, the urban management and the police mainly play a role of intimidation, and they are not so much when they are really used.

What makes Haji even happier is that the city is not so strict about stray dogs, and even on the busiest commercial streets, Haji has encountered several stray dogs looking for food on their own. Haji reckons that it may be because the city is a small town with a small area, and many of the city's citizens were farmers who liked dogs not long ago, so people are not too discriminatory against dogs.

Cities that really discriminate against dogs and are more dangerous to stray dogs are actually those modern metropolises that have developed and are more densely populated. In those big cities, because of the rapid economic development, there are a lot of people who have dogs. At the same time, because of the changes in the living environment, many dog owners can't keep up with the changes in the city, and often indulge their dogs to urinate indiscriminately. Or discard their own dogs at some point, let those dogs who are incapable of living become stray dogs, and interfere with the lives of others, so that stray dogs have become a thorn in the side of many people.

In fact, having said that, the dog problem on the surface is still a human problem in the final analysis. If dog owners are a little more disciplined, let the dogs develop the rules of not urinating indiscriminately, go out and lead the dogs, put muzzles on the dogs, do not condone the dogs barking and running around, and do not easily abandon their own dogs, then where does the dog trouble come from? In the final analysis, it is the poor dogs who carry the black pot for those who are ignorant, but in the end it is those innocent dogs who are beaten and killed.

Soon, Haji found a few places suitable for himself to make a living, and began to look for props for himself. The place that Haji is interested in is actually a place that sells snacks on the shopping street, where fried chicken, barbecue, noodles and other vendors are frequent. Some people are willing to sit in the store and eat after eating, and some people are willing to take a few skewers of food and eat while shopping, these people are Haji's potential "customers".

Moreover, the place where Haji chose to make a living is at the mouth of a few alleys not far from the snack shop, where people come and go, just enough to attract the attention of people who come out of the snack street. In addition, this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once he encounters trouble with the chengguan or someone looking for Haji, he can turn around and escape to the alley, which is quite safe. In fact, it is not only Haji who thinks so, but also a few wandering vendors who carry backpacks on the street and sell messy little things, and these small alleys are also where they often hang out.

The props for performing arts, which seem to sound good, are actually a rice bowl that Haji needs to beg for food. In fact, to put it more explicitly, isn't Haji's life of begging for art just begging? It's just that his begging behavior is based on a certain amount of effort, and there is more or less an element of labor in it. It is somewhat similar to those who sing and play performance art on the street, and it is much better than those beggars who know nothing and only sell miserably on the street.

It's hard to find a guy to eat, and Haji doesn't have the money to find a human to buy anything. He didn't want the pots and pots that others threw in the garbage, so he had to use his greatest skill as a stray dog - find a place to pick one. It's a lot better to say that picking it up, but it's actually Haji going to steal one when others aren't looking. Helplessly, Haji always needs a decent guy to eat, right? He can't really lie on the ground and eat like a stray dog!

Now that Haji has completely resigned himself to his fate, he knows that if he wants to live, if he wants to return to his hometown to be with his mother, he needs to use all available means to live. As for the concepts and knowledge of justice that we have mastered and agreed with in our previous lives, they cannot be used in this life. If he can't let go of the face and rules of the previous life, he will be eliminated by this world sooner or later. So as long as it's to live, Haji will do anything.

Haji walked into the alleys on the outskirts of the shopping street, where there were many old neighborhoods. Almost all prosperous areas are like this, prosperous places are often the first areas of a city to be built and established, and not far from this prosperous land, there must be some aborigines living in this prosperous land, and the living environment of these aborigines is often not worthy of compliment, because they generally live in buildings close to the life of the city, and the environment is basically cramped.

Sure enough, Haji soon saw a small three-story building at the end of the alley. Just by looking at the style and masonry of the eaves of this small building, we know that this building should be at least in the fifties and sixties of the last century, which is quite a bit of historical vicissitudes. At this time, two middle-aged women were standing in front of the three-story building of the building, one of them was carrying a bag of vegetables, and the other was holding a basin for washing vegetables, and the basin was filled with clean vegetables.

Like ordinary middle-aged women, the two who have a good relationship reach a state of selflessness as soon as they chat, and I don't know how long they have been talking. When Haji arrived, the middle-aged woman with the basin seemed tired of chatting, so she casually put the basin on the steps of the doorway, and then chatted with another woman.

Haji looked at it for a moment, and saw that the woman seemed to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of chatting, so he took advantage of the opportunity for the two to slip through with their backs to the door. Pick up the basin, pour the food outside, and then slip away with the basin in your mouth.

With the props in hand, Haji came directly to the commercial street, and he was optimistic about the alley in advance. It is a good place for people to come and go, and it is indeed a good place to beg for food.

Haji put the basin on the ground, not knowing how to start for a moment. People are showing off their talents, what is blowing, talking, singing, being able to speak and dance, and so on. What about Haji? He doesn't have that many props, the only prop is this basin in front of him. It's not so much a prop for the performance as it is a bowl for Haji to ask for rice. There really isn't much difference between performing and begging.

However, hunger was a threshold that could not be crossed, and Haji had to choose to start. I believe that if the family has food and money, no one will go out to work, this is all a reason!

There was no way, Haji had to stand up directly on his two hind legs and gesture towards the people who came and went. If you can't do it, let's try it first! Sell a cute one and see how it works.

I saw a big dog on the side of the road stand up and make a gesture towards the flow of people, and all the people passing by were stunned. People stopped and looked at this anomaly, not knowing what it was going to do. There are also people who try to find its owner, not knowing where its owner has gone.

But after looking at it for a while, people found that this big black dog that looked a little stupid and cute didn't seem to have an owner, it just waved at everyone, and then looked at the people who came and went, what was it going to do?

The people passing by were fluted, and Haji was also a little helpless. Hey! What do you see, it's okay to give me something to eat? Can't you see this showman? Lao Tzu is hungry! A human being who lacks heart and eyes, a full man doesn't know how hungry a man is hungry! His IQ is really low! Especially the one who is holding a skewer, you don't know it yourself, you don't know it, you don't know

The number of people who noticed Haji gradually increased, and more people stopped and began to look at Haji. Someone even took out their mobile phones and started to video Haji.

This is unacceptable to Haji, once the video is uploaded to the Internet, he will encounter a lot of trouble. Even if you can't hide from all of them, you can at least let him eat a few full meals first!

Haji stopped, landed on three legs, and then pointed with one of his front paws at the rice bowl in front of him. Don't you understand this? Dwarf oil, low IQ or stingy?

Seeing Haji's action, most people understood what Haji meant. Some people couldn't help but believe it and laughed dumbly: "Is it hungry, give it something to eat!"

It was a young girl who looked like she was shopping with her boyfriend. And her boyfriend is holding a few skewers in his hand at the moment, and the most eye-catching of them are the two strings of quail eggs, which Haji needs this high-protein nutrition.

"This big dog has a master or not! Don't feed it, its owner is not satisfied when he sees it!" The boy was a little worried, not as happy as the girl.
