23. Turf room
Seeing the stranger, Lilith jumped higher, the puppy's waist twisted around, and Chen Song was afraid that it would flash its waist.
But if it really flashes its waist, Chen Song, a veterinarian, can put on a show.
A half-sized milk dog crouched at the door of the kennel, leaving them with a dejected back.
The puppies of the Icelandic Shepherd Dog are more like the Chinese Pastoral Dog, with a dark mouth, gray-black coat, four short and thick legs, and a fluffy and soft milk coat.
Bruce was well prepared, he brought a leg of lamb with meat from the restaurant, approached Lilith and handed it to him, Lilith smiled happily, and got into the kennel with the meat and bone in her mouth.
The little milk dog swayed and tried to get a bite, but Lily gave it a backkick and kicked it out of the doorway.
"This dog is really spiritual, do you know that we exchange bones for its cubs?" Chen Song was surprised.
Alex twitched the corners of his mouth twice and said, "The back kick is one of the housekeeping skills of Icelandic sheepdogs, which may be a skill they have learned for a long time, and Lilith is guarding the food." ”
Chen Song squatted down and beckoned to the puppy, and the half-sized dog looked at him with wide, watery black eyes, and ran to his arms in small steps.
Clay said anxiously: "Don't go, he's the devil!"
Chen Song stretched out his little finger to the puppy, the puppy tentatively opened his mouth and bit it, looked at Chen Song with his eyes, and saw that Chen Song was always smiling, so he opened his little mouth and sucked it, squinting his eyes with taste, and the little tail shook quickly behind him, as if he was holding a speed stick on his buttocks.
The puppy is chubby from a distance, but it doesn't look like it up close, it's just that its winter fur has grown two layers and looks thick, but it's actually skinny.
Alexson said: "This is the least popular of the six puppies, and he always can't get the other siblings when he drinks milk, so he's relatively thin. ”
"When you go back, you feed it yourself, and you get fat right away. Bruce said to Chen Song very experienced.
Chen Song hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't joke, how can I have milk as an old man?"
"I'm asking you to buy it. ”
"Haha, understood. ”
Alexson smiled, "Then it's yours." ”
Clay sighed and said to Chen Song decently: "I'll give it to you, promise me, treat it well in the future, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
Chen Song asked in surprise, "Is this your blood and bones?"
Clay was a child after all, and he couldn't understand the sentence, so he followed the words and said, "Indeed, it's my child......"
"Let's go. Alexson smiled and pushed him away.
Holding the gray little skinny dog, the three went to the supermarket and bought puppy food, teething sticks, goat milk powder and dog basins, Emma also bought a soft kenneel mat, and said with a smile: "This is my gift to it." ”
On the way back, Bruce asked as he drove, "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought of naming this kid?"
Chen Song said: "It's almost, I'm going to give it a name that kind of majestic and domineering, like the sky!"
"What's it called?"
"I said it, day in the sky!"
Bruce was stunned, and Chen Song laughed and said, "Just kidding, its name is Brother Dao, how about it?"
"DOG?"
"No, the Chinese 'Daoge'. ”
Bruce laughed: "Interesting name." ”
This time back at the manor, he won't be bored.
He first soaked the puppy in some goat milk powder, as Alexson said, Brother Dao was not favored in front of the female dog, always hungry, and after tasting the goat's milk, he tried to drink it.
The shriveled belly gradually swelled, and the little milk dog still wanted to drink after drinking a pot of milk, stretching out his pink little tongue and licking the dog basin desperately.
Chen Song scratched the skin on the back of its neck and said, "Okay, little pot friend, you are already full, you can't drink anymore." ”
The little milk dog was scratched by him, and couldn't help kicking the little short legs, and at the same time opened a small mouth: "Boom." ”
When Chen Song let go of his hand, he ran to the dog basin to look for food, and if he didn't eat, he stuck his little head in it and pushed the basin around, as if he could find goat's milk in this way.
Chen Song was helpless, so he had to dip his finger in some milk powder and lick it.
The puppy still retains the nature of sucking milk, and after opening its mouth and holding its fingertips, it does not bite with its teeth, it is very simple.
Numb and itchy, damp and hot, moist and soft, Chen Song looked at the puppy, his eyes lit up!
In the afternoon, when the sun was shining, he held his dog and held his mobile phone to bask in the sun behind the balcony window.
After a while, the puppy lay on his lap and squinted, only to see its body flip over, its little paws drooping on its chest, revealing its little pink belly to enjoy the warmth.
Chen Song coded the photo of the puppy and sent it to the circle of friends, with the text: My little baby, you belong to me in this life, and I will be responsible for you.
Comments came as promised.
Jiang Sheng: How young is my sister-in-law? Send out the photo for us to see (color), remember that my brother is still single (poor)
Li Qin: (hugging) Wow, what a cute puppy, kiss.
College classmate Zhang Botao: This is too cute, come and hug Lao Tzu.
College classmate Li Lun: The appearance of the Chinese pastoral dog is really the peak of its debut, which is very similar to Brother Song.
College classmate Zhou Pengfei replied to Li Lun: Heh, Chinese idyll!
I have a big bird: (tears) You've got another little baby.
Cao: The more people I know, the more I like dogs. Hehe, lie to you, I still prefer women with big milk papers.
Former colleague Sun Yu replied to Cao Aman: Cuteness is worthless in front of milk paper.
Chen Song, who watched a series of replies, was stunned for a moment.
Seeing him basking in the sun behind the window, Bruce politely asked, "Mr. Chen, do you like to bask in the sun?"
Chen Song said: "Yes, basking in the sun in winter helps to maintain health, and I usually have a glass of wolfberry water when I am in my hometown. ”
Bruce laughed, "There are no goji berries here, but there is a sunroom, maybe we can clean it up and reuse the sunroom in the manor." ”
Anyway, this will be idle, Chen Song said happily: "Okay." ”
The two went to the backyard of the manor, and a small dirt slope appeared on the grass not far from the hot spring, and the small dirt slope was covered with grass, but the strange thing was that there was a large glass on the sunny side, like a floor-to-ceiling window.
"This is the manor's conservatory. Bruce introduced.
Chen Song said: "Don't you say that I think this is a tomb!"
Bruce laughs: "This is a turf house, the first house in Iceland, which has been built for thousands of years, and UNESCO has given high praise to this architectural style. ”
He told Chen Song that when the first Vikings came to Iceland in the 9th century, they found that although there was a wide space, abundant fresh water and a large number of trees, it lacked resources and the winter climate was harsh.
In order to withstand the low temperatures of winter, they envisioned a turf house with a semi-bunker underground, so that the geothermal energy becomes natural underfloor heating. At the same time, the roof is covered with thick soil, sprinkled with grass seeds, and the turf will naturally grow, which can not only fix the water and soil, but also insulate in summer and keep warm in winter.
From its inception until the 20th century, turf houses occupied half of Iceland's architectural history, and at the beginning of the 20th century there were more than 100,000 turf houses on the island.
But in the 21st century, environmentally friendly and healthy turf rooms have begun to be popular again, and almost all manors will have a turf room for use as a sun room, meditation room, study room, etc.
The turf house has been vacant for more than a decade and has not been used much since it was built.
When Bruce opened the door, he said, "Mr. Chen, it may be dirty inside, and Emma and I usually don't clean him up, please understand." ”
Chen Song said: "I understand ...... very well"
As soon as the door opened, two gray trails swooped out.
"Mouse, be careful!" Bruce said subconsciously.
Chen Song said calmly: "Brother Dao, go on!"
Brother Dao ran away, but he ran in the opposite direction, so frightened that his tail was caught in his ass as if it was gone......
The gray figure began to slow down after scurrying out, and Chen Song found that it was not a mouse, but two rabbits!
The rabbit quickly disappeared, and Bruce said regretfully, "I should have brought a shotgun so that we can have a rabbit meal to eat in the evening, and Emma's rabbit rice tastes really good." ”
Chen Song said: "I bought shrimp and made braised prawns for you at night. ”
Bruce walked into the conservatory and said, "Let's take a look, maybe there's a rabbit in there?"
Chen Song said: "You go in first, I have to get Brother Dao back." ”
The area of the sun room is quite large, there are hundreds of square meters, from the outside it is just a low mound, but the space inside is not small, it has a depth of one meter underground, a total of two meters above the ground, a total of three meters high.
The sun shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the inside is very warm, the temperature is close to 30 degrees, which is naturally not humid, and it is still dry even if it has not been used for many years.
There are several caves in the corner, the old man took a flashlight and wanted to take a look, Chen Song stopped him, stuffed Brother Dao into it and said: "Professional work depends on professionals, Brother Dao, go on!"
Brother Dao lay motionless at the entrance of the cave, only turning his head to look at him with frightened eyes.
Chen Song asked, "Go in and take a look, don't you understand what I want you to do?"
Brother Dao: I understand, you want me to die!
Several caves are rabbit holes, and there is a lot of rabbit feces around, and the old man took out some hay with wood for a while, he shook his head and said, "The rabbit holes are very deep, they have to be blocked." ”
"Don't poison it, you have to put it down, you can't eat it if you are poisoned. Chen Song waved his hand.
The old man laughed and said, "I'm talking about blocking the burrow, of course you can't poison rabbits, in Iceland's animal protection law, poisoning wild animals is illegal." ”
There was cement and gravel on the estate, and Bruce was a jack of all trades, and he said it would be no problem to clean up a turf house.
Chen Song felt that it was not appropriate to let the old man do the rough work, so he had to do it himself, and then Bruce said: "That's it, I'll let Goble come to help, and don't you want to open a farm? If you want to open a farm, you need help, just today you can see if Goble's level can satisfy you." ”
It was a good idea, and after Bruce made a phone call, the brawny man Goble drove over in a car.
Dressed in a denim suit, Goble looked stronger and stronger, and after getting out of the car, he raised his eyebrows at Chen Song and said, "Hey, man, I still want to look for you if you don't look for me, how about I take you to the Crimson Club later?"
Without waiting for Chen Song to answer, he kicked the wheel again angrily: "Damn, my English doesn't happen to be strong, it's fucked up that you can't speak Icelandic." ”
Men always have a tacit understanding that does not need words in some aspects, Chen Song smiled ambiguously at him: "I understand what you mean, take me to an interesting place to play, right?"
Goble snapped his fingers and raised an eyebrow at him, "That's right, I swear, you just have to follow me in and take a spin, and then you won't be able to leave." ”
"Why can't you get out? Are you surrounded by people?" asked the old man with interest.
Chen Song gave him a tacit look and said, "Do you need to say this?"
The old man said: "I think it's better to make it clear, the Crimson Club is Gay, if you are surrounded inside, you will have to be full of big men!"
