Chapter 29 On the Relationship between Man and Dog

"It's good to go to the tourist attractions, the tour guide is at our disposal. Of course, with our financial resources, we must choose the most reliable one. Jessica said confidently

"Hopefully it's a stave, not a recipe. Seth replied casually

"Mike, rain. Let's hurry up, and leave this crow's beak behind to blow the northwest wind. Jessica said as she pulled the two of them forward at a trot

The group followed the shortcut that the white-haired old man had said, and soon arrived at Uncle Wolf's residence, which was halfway up the hill. I saw a small wooden stake surrounding a wooden house covered with snow, and there was a lonely place. Before a few people approached the fence, I heard a lot of dogs barking one after another. At this time, a middle-aged uncle held a steaming mug in his hand, waved his hand to them and shouted, "It's Miss Jessica, come in, come in!"

A couple of sled dogs followed Mike into the doorway like welcoming squires. As soon as they entered the door, the house was full of more than a dozen dogs, and they didn't even have a place to sit. A chubby one lay by the fire and looked at them with half-squinted eyes, and four young men jumped around them and screamed, as if begging for food. There are also two people who are lying on their stomachs in front of the TV, motionless watching the eighty episodes of the long-form love family ethics drama. Looking around, there were dogs everywhere on the windowsill, on the bed, on the table, and it felt as if every territory had been divided.

"You've been here so early, Miss Jessica. Let me introduce you to you, this is Tier, Sif, Vali, Razor.... Come and make a gesture to the guests. Uncle Wolf said happily (none of the dogs paid attention to his instructions)

"Well, the good Samaritan showed us a shortcut, so it arrived quickly. It's not easy for you to have so many pets!" Jessica said

"No, no, no, they're not pets, they're my companions. And they're the ones who raised me, so I don't know how I'm going to live without these naughty ghosts, hehe. By the way, you wait for me for five minutes, and I'll leave after feeding them. Uncle Wolf got up and fed the dogs.

Uncle Wolf was about to take everyone out, when he saw the old dog lying by the stove just now running over and rubbing Uncle Wolf's trouser leg vigorously.

"Thor, you just had diarrhea the day before yesterday. Today, you can rest at home first, and go out next time, good. Uncle Wolf stroked the old dog's head and comforted

But the old dog still rubbed Uncle Wolf unrelentingly, and stuck out his tongue from time to time to show goodwill.

"Okay, okay, then you'll be at the back. Uncle Wolf said helplessly

Uncle Wolf first divided them into two cars, and then simply taught Jessica the command to control the sled dog's brakes and turns, and then drove to the snowy mountain waterfall with Jessica in another sled.

The howling cold wind swept across their faces like blades. Jessica didn't expect the little sled dog to work together to run so fast, but as if deliberately trying to trick her, he always took a few seconds to respond to her commands, making the already uneven trail even more bumpy. On two occasions, Uncle Wolf, who was left behind, didn't 'teach' them in time, and almost threw Jessica and them out of the corner. No, Uncle Wolf is lagging behind again, Jessica has learned to be obedient this time, and quickly slowed down to wait for Uncle Wolf. I saw that the old dog running at the back in front of Uncle Wolf's car was moving forward very hard. It gasped, several times trying to catch up, and several times it was dragged away by the attached rope. Uncle Wolf was very distressed, and immediately stopped the car, picked up the old dog, put it in his driver's seat, and then he leaned half out of the sleigh, standing on the edge of the sleigh with one foot. They slowed down half the distance. But the old dog suddenly stood up from his position and began to vomit. This frightened Uncle Wolf, and he picked up the old dog loudly and shouted, "Thor! Thor!

"What's wrong with it?" asked Jessica, who also paused to hear it

"Miss Jessica, I can't take you to the snowy mountains today. I'm going back to treat Thor right away!" Uncle Wolf said excitedly

"Uncle Wolf, otherwise. We're in two teams, you take them up first. I can ride a sled now, and I'll take your dog down the mountain to the doctor, okay? I'll give you double the money. Jessica asked

"Even if you give me ten times the money, a hundred times the money, I won't go anywhere!" Uncle Wolf shouted angrily.

"Okay, then you can go back first. We keep walking. Jessica said

"Miss Jessica, I urge you to come down with me. Because you have to pass through the misty peak in front of you, it is easy to fall off the cliff without a guide. And no one will take care of you halfway. What I'm saying is true. Uncle Wolf said

Jessica thinks about it, the snow-capped mountains are different from other places, getting lost, avalanches, and falling off cliffs are all fatal. So I had to discuss it with everyone and go back together.

On the way back, Yuyu, who was in the same car with Jessica, asked puzzledly: "Sister J, I really can't understand." The people of the town avoided the refugees as if they had seen a ghost, but the uncle didn't even want so much money for the sake of this dog, which was just a pet. ”

"Maybe many people think that human nature is evil, but I think it's because of trust. The dog's idea is actually very simple, either obey or resist. Relatively speaking, human beings are much more complicated, and as long as three bad people do bad things, the hard-won trust will collapse in an instant, and even fight each other. But often the simpler the truth that even dogs understand, the more people disdain to believe it. Jessica sighed

"Well, I've read a book about the origin of dogs, and it says that dogs evolved into today's dogs after primitive people shared their excess meat and bones with wolves who were dying of hunger. In order to show sincerity, the dog chooses feces and leftover bones that people absolutely do not need as their staple food. It seems that this trust is really a hard-won thing. Rain said

"In fact, the first use of money is to quickly establish an equal barter trust between people. It's a pity that now it seems to have become the exclusive right of a small number of people. Mike also sighed

A few people went down the mountain, and when they saw that there was not enough time to go up the mountain, they helped Uncle Wolf send Thor to the hospital together. Uncle Wolf was very grateful, and promised that as long as Thor was fine, he would take them to the snowy mountain for free tomorrow. Mike: They came full circle and returned to the bottom of the mountain.

"I'm so hungry, I'm going to be hungry. Mike said

"Hurry back to the tavern, I can eat the whole sheep now!" Seth bragged
