Twenty-seven, the black tiger of Shandan

Shandan walked back unhurriedly, and she saw the footprints of at least five animals in the snow, certain to be hare, fox, sandgrouse, hog badger, and one that resembled a dog's footprint, but was not a dog.

Could it be a wolf? Shandan Spirits fought a cold war.

She hugged the puppy in her arms tightly and looked at the sun that had been cold for nine days, and it was already afternoon, and the sun was obliquely shining in the western sky.

The days of the grassland in winter are very short, the sun sets at five o'clock in the afternoon, Shandan does not dare to delay any longer, and quickens her pace, she must return home before the sun sets, the grassland in winter is full of hungry wolves.

Fortunately, before leaving, Uncle Shu Ri gave the puppy a full belly, and the puppy has been sleeping in Shandan's arms, occasionally moving its little head and body to change to a more comfortable position, the puppy fell asleep so peacefully, and Shandan had more love and pity in his heart.

Shandan finally picked up the little black dog home before dark.

Shandan's father said that it resembled the black tiger of his childhood, so they called it the black tiger.

The black tiger's food is amazing, the food was not very sufficient, the mother restricted the children from feeding the black tiger's food, however, they were fed openly and secretly, and they fed the black tiger what they ate, and the black tiger also lived up to expectations and grew outstanding, and it was the size of a sheep when it was one year old.

The black tiger's fur is like satin, the sun will shine, and it is also in the winter when the black tiger is one year old, there is a big snowfall, and the mountains are white, and a group of children in the village have led the dog to chase the rabbit, and Shandan and the black tiger are also among them.

At that time, the black tiger was still a "child", and when he arrived at the back mountain, a rabbit suddenly jumped up in the snow not far away, and all the dogs rushed up and began to chase. In winter, the hare's fur is no longer grayish-yellow but white-gray, and if it hides in the snow, it is hardly noticeable. This is also the reason why many generations of rabbits have been selected by nature.

In the process of chasing, a few rabbits were startled, and the dogs began to chase separately, the black tiger had no experience, chased one and chased another, and the last one was not chased, seeing that other dogs had already received their prey, the black tiger looked very anxious.

Shandan took the steamed bun and fed it it and didn't eat it, and continued to search around, suddenly, the black tiger rushed out like a sword, and it turned out that a rabbit that had been chased plunged into the black tiger's field of vision, and the black tiger won at once!

The black tiger returned victoriously with the rabbit in his mouth, standing beside Shandan, the rabbit in his mouth was still struggling, it turned out that the black tiger was not dead, and the rabbit was still alive.

The black tiger looked at Shandan with a proud face.

Shandan took the rabbit home, and his father said that there were three catties, enough for the family to eat!

Shandan treated the black tiger with the entrails of the head and tail, and his father made a pair of gloves for Shandan out of rabbit skin.

Later, Shandan also took the black tiger to chase the rabbit a few times, and Shandan lived in the school after going to junior high school, and the black tiger never went "hunting" again.

Another time it was almost the New Year, Shandan and his mother were cleaning, someone outside shouted to watch the dog, Shandan hurriedly ran out and hugged the black tiger, the man just walked into the gate, the black tiger rushed out like a sword and threw the man to the ground, it just pressed him, and did not bite him.

The black tiger was three or four years old at the time, and it actually pulled off the double-strand iron chain, knocked Shandan to the ground and rushed out!

The man was a big man, and he was so lightly pounced by the black tiger that he was almost frightened, and then the man did not dare to approach the gate of Shandan's house.

Three years later, Shandan went to high school in the town, and Black Tiger and Shandan spent less time together.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, Shandan took a ride to the east of the village at more than 10:00 in the evening, she got off the car and went home alone, the night in the countryside was very quiet, the moonlight was bright, and the sky was full of stars.

As he walked, he wondered if the black tiger might come to meet me. Suddenly, she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder, and the hot breath of her mouth sprayed on Shandan's face, and she was greatly startled.

Looking back, it turned out to be a black tiger! The black tiger has grown into a big man, and he stands taller than Shandan.

Shandan said, "Black Tiger, how do you know I'm back?" ”

The black tiger rubbed on Shandan's body affectionately, and Shandan squatted down and hugged its head for a long time.

Shandan stood up only to find that behind the black tiger was a "group of wives and concubines", which was as majestic as a king.

They turned out to welcome Shandan's return together.

He didn't even scream. Shandan was very moved, the Black Tiger's family was her friend, and she had so many close friends.

When the black tiger grows to the age of one year, it begins to sleep on the roof, and it is not afraid of cold, heat, wind and rain.

When the temperature drops to minus 30 degrees Celsius for nine days in winter, the black tiger still sleeps on the house.

When I woke up in the morning, I was covered in a white layer of frost, or a thick layer of snow on a snowy day.

Get up and shake your body, and the frost and snow will naturally slide down.

Black tigers with loose fur and thick fur may not feel cold at all.

Shandan's father said that it was a good dog to lie on the house, and a lazy dog to lie in the thatched house.

The advantage of sleeping in the house is that you can notice the slightest bit of wind and grass. With the days of the Black Tiger, the village is safe.

The people in the eight villages of ten miles heard the majesty of the black tiger, and the little thief naturally did not dare to make any attempts. The whole village is a horse in the South Mountain, and the house is not closed at night, and it has truly become a peaceful and prosperous era.

The black tiger's cry is low and deep, with the thickness of metal, and the majestic and domineering cry is extremely penetrating, as long as the black tiger barks, every village dog will respond, but at this time the black tiger is silent, it seems to just blow a trumpet.

Black Tiger often visits Grandma Tiedan'er's house more than ten miles away. When I arrived in the yard, I made a low "Wang" sound, and Grandma Tie Dan'er let the dog into the house to eat and drink to entertain her, and the black tiger ate and drank before leaving.

Once a group of pig thieves encountered the patrol of the black tiger, and one of them was bitten by the black tiger, and the others ran away lifelessly, never daring to steal nearby.

No one dared to enter the village at night, and even passed by the edge of the village to make a long detour.

One by one, the Mongols looking for lost horses passed by in the dark, and the black tigers were usually tied to two iron chains.

Let go after dinner. The man didn't understand that there was such a powerful dog, so he just cared about hurrying to find the horse, passing by the east end of the village, the black tiger had already noticed a stranger walking through the village, and quietly led a group of paparazzi of cats and dogs to pounce on him.

The horses of the Mongols were frightened and kept running, and from time to time they shook their hooves and kicked the black tigers that caught up.

The Mongolian on the horse grabbed the reins of the horse and kept whipping the black tiger behind him with the whip in his hand. Although the dogs of the grassland do not bite the grassland people, they are very territorial and will be ruthlessly driven out if someone intrudes into their territory without permission.

It took five miles to chase after the black tiger to stop his foot.

Everyone was afraid of the black tiger's faint inverted triangular eyes, saying that the black and gloomy were unfathomable, and they did not dare to infringe on the majesty and intimidation given to them.

Shandan returned to school after the Mid-Autumn Festival to continue studying, that day the black tiger sent Shandan far away, it has been rubbing Shandan's body, sent to the east of the village under the big depression. When Shandan asked it to go back, the black tiger reluctantly lowered his head and squatted on the ground, with no intention of returning at all, until Shandan went down the depression and walked a long way, and saw the black tiger sitting opposite the depression to see her off. As soon as she called, it would come at her like an arrow off the string, but she knew that she couldn't let it be so attached to her, after all, they had few days together, and it had to be closer to the family.

Looking at the black tiger sitting alone on the opposite side of the big depression, Shandan felt a lot more reluctant in her heart, she wanted to grow up, she wanted to go to school, she wanted to go out of this land to find her own world, she had to let go of a lot of things that she couldn't let go, including attachment to her parents and attachment to home, and also longing for the black tiger.

It reluctantly stood on this side of the big depression, and Shandan walked slowly a long way, and saw that the black tiger was still standing there.

Just like the scene when Shandan went out later, his parents stood in the east of the village.

This moment is forever engraved in Shandan's memory.

Unexpectedly, those days turned out to be the last days they would get along.

Later, I heard from my mother that the black tiger bit someone, biting two very domineering fathers and sons in the village (that was the only person the black tiger had bitten in his life, and the people in the village said that the black tiger also knew people well).

Later, the countryside called for dog fighting, and as a last resort, Shandan's father gave the black tiger to a merchant in the town. The merchant fell in love with the black tiger and was willing to pay a hundred yuan to buy it. But Tie Dan Da will not sell his dog, it is his child, how can the child be sold? But in order to save the child's life, he had to give it away.

When Shandan's father said that he handed the black tiger's chain to the man, the black tiger's eyes were full of tears, and he whimpered and wept in a low voice. The dog, no matter how fierce the dog, as long as the owner hands it the rope that holds it to it, knows that it will belong to the one who takes the rope in the future, and that it will succumb to its fate no matter how unwilling it is.

Shandan was studying in the town, how many times did he want to see the black tiger, but he never found the family, and Shandan's parents told his brother Tie Dan'er to tell Shandan not to go, for fear that she would be sad.

Brother Tie Dan'er went to see it a few times, and said that the house was very good to the black tiger, the black tiger was fatter, and Shandan had been busy coping with exams and studying, and he couldn't see the black tiger again.

When I came home from winter vacation, my mother told Shandan Black Tiger that he had passed away, and he was sick and had asthma very strictly, and Shandan was sad for a long, long time.
