Chapter 106: Happy Birthday
Ji An was thinking about how to make Messi understand that the sheep were a whole, and old John and Mary came together. [Full text reading.]
"What are you holding Ram for?" asked Old John, seeing that Ji An was chained to the neck of the grumpy ram.
Ji An: "It turns out that its name is Ram? This guy saw who hit whom, and I was afraid that it would attack Messi, so I pulled it out." ”
Old John rubbed his waist to the place where he had been hit by the mad sheep before, cursed and said that sooner or later he would slaughter it, and then admonished: "It is better to bolt the fence next to it, and be careful that it pushes you." ”
Ji An scratched the sheep's head: "It's okay, the chain is leading." In fact, as soon as he gets rid of it, the ram will go crazy.
Mary asked, "Hear John say you're teaching Messi to shepherd sheep?"
Ji An nodded, and then informed Messi's question, and wanted to ask the old driver.
But this problem was not encountered by Mary at the beginning, Leo took more than 3 months from the beginning of learning whistles to fully learning to shepherd, and it was very smooth to learn step by step.
After thinking about it, she pointed to the shepherd whistle in Ji An's hand and said, "Let me try it." ”
Ji An handed it over, and Mary didn't mind, so she wiped it on her clothes and began to blow.
The same whistle, different people will have different sounds, if Leo can still hold back Ji An's whistle, when Mary blew the shepherd whistle, the old Leo subconsciously stood up and ran towards the grass where it had worked, and the sheep on the grass.
Ji An couldn't stop him in the back, and the dog king's order failed for the first time.
If you want a dog to learn an event, the best way is to let another dog who already knows it teach, and of course Ji An knows this.
But with Leo's current state, Ji An didn't want to force it, so he let it go quietly at the last stop.
Helplessly, the dog king's orders didn't stop Leo's obedience to Mary.
Mary saw that Leo was rarely refreshed, and she also missed the time when they worked together in the past, and unconsciously shifted her attention to Leo, and sent a whistle command to it.
Messi was still staring at a sheep, and when he found that his brother was coming, he stopped in confusion and looked at Ji An.
Ji An couldn't stop listening to the whistle intently, and seeing that the small red dot on its head gradually moved up, he sighed, pressed down on Messi's palm, and motioned for it to lie down.
The little one did as he was told.
At Mary's whistle, Leo follows the whistle to control the flock to move around.
The old brother was shepherding the sheep beside him, and Messi naturally looked at the old brother. It can also understand the whistle, while listening to the whistle and watching the old brother act, Messi began to tilt his head left and right.
For Messi, a sheep is a football, but for Leo, its football is a whole flock of sheep.
The role of role models plays a role imperceptibly, and Messi begins to envy his brother for playing bigger balls than him.
Mary also knew that Leo was getting older, and noticed that it was slowing down, and Mary finally let out a whistle, and Leo turned his head, and ran towards his master as fast as he could.
The big ears couldn't go down, and the steps were heavier than before, but Mary's reward was still so comfortable, Leo gasped, stuck out his tongue and tilted his head so that Mary could scratch his chin.
In the distance, Messi was envious, it was always his turn after the old brother, it also wanted to play the big ball, it also wanted Mary's reward, Messi took the initiative to stand up and barked at Mary.
After scratching Leo's chin, Mary looked at Messi and saw that it was excitedly waiting for orders, and smiled as she put the shepherd whistle back into her mouth.
The talented Messi's obedience has long been full, and his intimacy with Mary may only be a little lower than that of Ji An, and the whistle has been learned, and he has seen the old brother demonstrate, Messi played a big ball in the whistle, from the beginning of missing a few sheep's rustiness, to controlling a whole flock of sheep to move slowly back and forth, left and right, and the little guy is growing and evolving rapidly to a qualified sheepdog.
Messi reminded Mary of the old Leo, but she was more energetic and obedient than Leo at that time, and the corners of Mary's mouth unconsciously raised when she saw such a good dog.
And Messi is growing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the most rewarding is Ji An, which is the result of his training of Messi in the past few days.
Old John laughed beside him, because it was his late birthday present to Mary, and Mary was happy, and of course he was happy.
No one noticed, Leo got out of the fence and slowly walked under the red maple tree.
The only red maple tree on the farm had to be as thick as an adult, and John Sr. had been on the farm when he inherited the farm from his father. The red canopy of maple leaves spread out in all directions, and Leo walked under the tree, where he used to rest and play with Mary, and lay down. It was here that Mary scratched its chin for the first time and boasted, "Leo, so smart~"
It heard Mary's laughter, and looked up at the little brother who was running around tirelessly in the meadow, and his ears were falling back, Leo rested his chin on the ground covered with maple leaves, and exhaled deeply, like a long sigh of relief, like nostalgia.
The still warm California sun shines through the gaps in the maple leaves, and in this quiet farm, the old corgi came to its end, looking at Messi who was all over the world, Leo gradually closed his round eyes.
"Wang!"
Ji An, who was talking about his achievements, heard the fat tiger barking, turned his head, and "buzzed" in his mind, The intimacy on Leo's head was gone, the obedience was gone, and the emotional marker was gone......
The fat tiger leaned down to the little friend he had known for a short time, and called softly.
The system prompts: "Dog King Mission: Old Dog's Dying Instructions Completed." ”
Mary bent down, scratched and ran to her, and took the initiative to raise the chin of the little fellow who received the reward, and boasted:
"Messi, so smart~"
…………
The farm is not as elaborate as in the city, and that evening, Mary cried red and buried Leo, who had been with her for more than ten years, in the backyard of the big house.
Ji An and Lu Xiaoming didn't leave early, in the big house, including them, 23 children were there, Tina and a few girls were comforting Mary on the sofa, and Hank was on his way from Silicon Valley.
When you are sad and sad, there are so many people who are willing to be by your side, and the old lady is already a big winner in life, which is not available for the lottery.
The little fat man whimpered on Mary's knee with his ugly face, and Messi struggled to jump on Mary's leg, but unfortunately his leg was too short, and Ji An helped him.
Under Messi's enthusiastic attack, Mary was helplessly licked out of a smile by it, sighed, and took off the shepherd whistle hanging around her neck and returned it to Ji An.
Ji An took it and immediately threw it behind the sofa.
Mary looked at her with tears in her eyes, and old John walked to the sofa, handed back the shepherd whistle, and sent her birthday wishes, which was a week late:
"Happy birthday, Mary. ”
……
At night, under the cover of stars, Ji An and Lu Xiaoming hung their headlights in front and back, and rode to their apartments in the city on that straight road.
