Chapter 14: Dog Language
It is well known that Chinese people love to eat dog meat.
In the countryside, most of the dogs are usually slaughtered and eaten after they are raised.
In Gui province, there is a huge dog meat festival every year, which is still held despite the opposition of many dog lovers.
In the Yangjiang area of Guangdong Province, there is an old street specializing in eating dog meat, which is full of dog meat shops, some are still century-old shops, and there are hundreds of ways to eat dog meat here.
In many places, dog meat is even called fragrant meat.
From this, you can imagine how popular dog meat is and how big the market demand is.
According to the current market, in the market, a pound of high-quality dog meat can be sold for more than 40 yuan a catty, which is basically the same price as mutton.
However, unlike sheep, it is difficult to raise dogs on a large scale.
As a result, a large-scale gray industry chain has emerged, that is, a line of stealing, selling, and selling dogs.
It's all about money.
An adult dog generally weighs 30-50 pounds, after stealing, directly sold to dog meat dealers, generally can be sold for 500-1000 yuan, if directly slaughtered and sold meat, you can get 1200-1500 yuan, if you open a restaurant to make dog meat for sale, the value can at least double.
As a result, dogs everywhere in the countryside, small towns, and cities are targeted by people with intentions.
Stealing dogs is not difficult, and you can easily buy poisons, anesthetics, syringe darts, dart blowpipes, dart bows and crossbows and other crime tools for stealing dogs on the Internet, and the price is not expensive.
Then use a motorcycle or minivan to walk around in the middle of the night, and three or five or even ten or eight dogs can easily get their hands on it, and the profit is huge.
Therefore, even if it is risky to steal a dog, if you are caught, you will be beaten half to death, and you will be detained, but there are still many people who take risks to do it.
For these, as a dog breeder, although Yang Mu did not see it with his own eyes, he still knew it, after all, the matter of stealing dogs has long been spread throughout the country, and there are a lot of reports on the Internet.
If he was still human, Yang Mu would not be too afraid of dog thieves, after all, dog thieves would not attack people easily.
But he is now a dog, and an adult dog weighing forty or fifty pounds.
Therefore, after hearing the old lady's words, Yang Mu immediately stopped the idea of continuing the night walk and prepared to find a place to hide and rest.
He began to look for a suitable place to rest, and beware of motorcycles and cars passing by on the road, and when there was any movement, he hid to the side.
Can't be careless!
"Wang. ”
As Yang Mu was moving forward, he finally heard a short dog barking again, coming from a house on the side of the road.
He immediately stopped and turned his head to look.
This is a light yellow earth male dog about eight or nine months old, just approaching adulthood, and he looks a little handsome.
Yang Mu had to admit that this little yellow dog was indeed quite handsome in the earth dog.
At this time, this handsome yellow dog was standing on the edge of the steps of the room about one meter above the ground, looking at Yang Mu curiously.
According to the dog's instinct, Yang Mu could now understand that the short dog bark that the yellow dog had just now was not malicious, but a dog greeting its own kind in a friendly manner.
Yang Mu has always been curious about one thing.
I am obviously a person, even if I accidentally incarnate as a dog, I shouldn't know so much knowledge that only dogs can understand!
Could it be that he still passively accepted Lao Hei's consciousness?
And now Yang Muxin understands this knowledge, which is probably the so-called dog language!
Dog language is a very interesting thing.
According to research, dogs can express tens of thousands of different meanings through a combination of behavior, expressions, body language, and barking in different environments, which is basically similar to the effect of human speech.
For this reason, there are also companies that have introduced the so-called dog language translator to the market, which is specially used by people to understand the meaning of dogs.
Yang Mu believes that even the best dog language translator or the world's top dog language research experts know far less than he does.
For example, the yellow dog in front of him, as soon as he saw Yang Mu stop, immediately raised the back end of his body, lowered the front end, and shook his tail rhythmically.
"Boss, what are you doing? Do you want to play together for a while?"
Yang Musecond understood its meaning.
If it had been before, Yang Mu wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to a local dog's overtures.
But now it's different, because of the fear of dog thieves, Yang Mu urgently needs to find a safe and comfortable place to stop and rest, and he is curious about the dog language he just mastered, so he has the idea of stopping.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Mu accurately expressed this meaning in dog language, and put on a big guy posture.
Seeing that Yang Mu was not hostile, the yellow dog immediately stood up, jumped down the steps, and happily jumped up and down in front of Yang Mu.
"I'm so bored with a dog, can you play with me for a while?"
Yang Mu understood in seconds again.
This is a cheerful little male dog who is at an age when he is energetic, curious, and likes to play with his companions.
This is generally the case with dogs.
Like children, young dogs are more likely to play with companions who are older and stronger than themselves.
Ignoring this enthusiastic guy, Yang Mu looked left and right, and with a jump, he jumped up the one-meter-high steps.
He wanted to find a place near the house where he could lie down and rest.
Wow, the big guy is so powerful!
The young yellow dog was stunned.
It looked at the high staircase and wanted to jump up from the road, but after jumping left and right a few times, it still felt unsure, so it gave up this idea, and obediently climbed the stairs again from the side of the stairs and came to the vicinity of Yang Mu.
Compared with the jumping ability, there is still a gap between a soil dog and a border herder.
"Big guy, what are you looking for?"
Seeing Yang Mu wandering around the house, the young yellow dog asked curiously again.
Yang Mu was naturally looking for a place to sleep.
Although the steps of the house have been paved with cement, Yang Mu is very dissatisfied with the fact that the ground is too cold at night and it is not safe to be close to the side of the road.
"My nest is here, come with me. ”
Worthy of being an enthusiastic dog, the young yellow dog took the initiative to take him to a small miscellaneous house without a door on the side of the house after learning about Yang Mu's intentions.
In one corner of the house, a thick old padded jacket swooped on the ground and became an improvised kennel.
This should be the nest of young yellow dogs.
It's a nice place, sheltered, quiet, not close to the road, not afraid of being found by dog thieves.
Yang Mu was very satisfied with this, so he lay down on the old cotton jacket very unkindly.
A standard dog sleeping position.
The young yellow dog was stunned and wanted to squeeze onto the old padded jacket.
In the evenings, when it is cold, dogs also like to huddle together to keep warm.
But Yang Mu is not happy, how could he be willing to sleep with a dog with affection?
So he glared at the young yellow dog unceremoniously.
The young yellow dog was stunned again, and obediently lay down on the ground next to Yang Mu.
It realized that the big guy was a little hard to mess with.
Alas, this little yellow dog is really good, and if I were a dog, I would really like to be friends with it.
I'm sorry, Xiaohuang, I need to have a good rest, I can only rob your nest!
Yang Mu felt a little guilty.
It is said that the gold and silver nests are not as good as their own kennels, alas, I didn't expect that I really slept in the kennels, and it was also the kennel of other dogs!
Yang Mu wanted to cry without tears.
But after a long journey, his body was exhausted, and he soon fell asleep.
