Although the dog in the basket was not very active compared to the other two, its eyes were not as listless as they looked, and when Zheng Si approached, he could see a little wariness in the eyes of this little puppy.

The rest of the cub's coat is grayish, and the hair on the whole body is mixed with dark tan or even almost black markings, at first glance, it will remind people of the tortoiseshell cat in the cat, however, the tortoiseshell cat coat color is more mixed, there is no regularity, and there will be no relatively uniform distribution of color spots.

After staying in the pet center for a long time, Zheng Si has also seen a lot of dogs and heard a lot of things about various dogs. Once, Zheng Si was walking around the pet center after completing the task on Xiao Guo's side, and saw a person talking to Xiao Guo, and there were several dogs around that person who looked very miscellaneous and looked like they had a skin disease, Charlie They said, it was called tabby.

If you look closely, it is true that some of the spots on those dogs are like stripes, which is different from Li Yuanba's coat color, and the dog also looks very fierce, however, there are many people who are keen on this coat color, and the more famous one is naturally Shangrao tabby, which is rumored to have been used for royal hunting dogs. The tabby dog may not be as divine as some people say, if not all right, but it also shows that there are still many people who like this coat color.

The man who spoke to Xiao Guo liked this tabby dog very much, and most of the dogs in his hand were of this coat color. In fact, in rural areas, this kind of coat color is not uncommon, but many people who use it to watch their homes in the countryside do not care about the coat color, and they will not distinguish so seriously. In fact, what matters is how people raise them.

Now, this one is the only one left among the three puppies, and the color of the coat is the main reason.

Except for the problem of coat color, Zheng sighed and looked, this puppy is quite pleasing to the eye. Don't make a fuss.

I used to hear Charlie say that tabby dogs are generally more stubborn and fierce than other earth dogs, and their hunting is good. It's okay to watch the house fight. It is more agile than ordinary earth dogs, and is used for hunting. The performance of hitting the mountain is also relatively good, but because of its impatient and uncalm character, most tabby dogs can rarely be the head dog in the actual battle of the mountain. Words are not absolute. It's just that for the most part.

The tabby will look very cool, not as honest as many big yellow dogs, but Zheng sighed, this little tabby earth dog is more honest and calm than the little yellow dog I bought earlier, of course, this is just looking, as for what it will be like when I grow up in the future. Now Zheng Si can't say for sure.

The people around them disliked the dog's coat color, but the more Zheng Si looked at it, the more he felt good.

The puppy that was originally squatting also stood up as Zheng Si approached, and didn't bark much at first. But after staring at Zheng Si for a while, he began to hum "whining", and his little tail was still flicking.

The dog seller just saw that the black cat was running next to the dog basket and wondered, when did there be such a black cat in the vegetable market? Also swaggering around here, generally speaking, cats and dogs will not be so calm in the vegetable market, too murderous, just like the dogs in the cage that are about to be sold, are restless, and in comparison, this black cat is too alternative, neither restless, not afraid of strangers.

The stall owner was about to say something, but Old Man Lan had already spoken.

"What's the matter, black charcoal, have taken a fancy to this one?" Old man Lan walked over, squatted down, and took a closer look at the puppies.

He didn't plan to buy it just now, but after seeing Zheng Si's behavior, he changed his mind again.

"Yo, old man, your cat, you are so bold." The stall owner laughed.

Old man Lan didn't say much "um", looked at the dog cub carefully, and picked up the dog cub to take a look.

Seeing that this puppy cub didn't seem to have any illness except for the ugly coat color, the awkwardness in Old Man Lan's heart eased a little, and then looked at the black cat next to him, the balance in Old Man Lan's heart tilted a little more.

Seeing that Old Man Lan hesitated, the stall owner wanted to sell the dog quickly, so he said: "Old man, this last puppy cub, there will be no store in this village after this village, this dog is a good dog, otherwise the two bosses just now would not have bought it." But I don't think you like this coat color, so let's give you a discount, the two just now sell for eighty, and this one will sell for sixty to you, how about it? ”

Old man Lan didn't say anything, and seemed to be still thinking about it. In fact, he was observing Zheng Si's reaction, and he couldn't pay attention to the dog, so he put the choice on Zheng Si, and found that Zheng Si's eyes had indeed been staring at the puppy, and Old Man Lan also had the idea of buying the puppy.

Forget it, isn't the coat color not good-looking, the most important thing to pick a dog is to check the dog's inner character, in terms of appearance, you don't have to be too demanding, or it is not upside down! Old man Lan comforted himself in his heart.

It's just that the silence of the old man Lan seems to the stall owner to be dissatisfied with the price, and the old man in front of him is not dressed in any special, not like a rich man, and he knows that the old man of this age is very concerned about money and is reluctant to pay more, so the stall owner thinks about whether to lower the price anymore.

Hearing the barking of a dog, the stall owner looked at the electric tricycle and saw a dog cub in the cage on the car, so he asked Old Man Lan: "Did you just buy the dog in your car?" ”

Old man Lan, who had already made a decision, put down the puppy and got up slowly, "Well, I just bought it, and I'll give it a cage at sixty." Old man Lan told the truth.

However, in the eyes of the stall owner, the old man really has an opinion on the price, but the puppy in the car is slightly bigger than his own, and he looks a lot more energetic, and he also sends a cage, and if he shouts "sixty" again, it is estimated that this deal will not be successful. Seeing that no one around was interested in this pup, the stall owner thought for a while and said, "That's it, I also want to sell this puppy quickly, my daughter-in-law left with the big dog, and will come back soon, I want to sell the dog before she brings the dog back, otherwise it's forty, which is half price." Actually, in addition to this coat color, this dog is really good, after adulthood, it is absolutely dedicated to the house, you look at these eyes, this is the type of people who see the living willing to bark, and will bark more fiercely than other dogs, will not be scared and dumb. ”

The stall owner looked very honest, and he looked very sincere when he spoke, but in fact, the stall owner thought in his heart that forty yuan was more than they originally thought, so he made more money and didn't lose money. As for praising the dog, this is pure nonsense, how can he look at the dog. It's just like learning to make up two sentences like Boss Liu before.

Old man Lan, who had planned to pay directly and leave, paused when he heard the price and lowered the price, looked at the stall owner, and shook his head silently. Then take out the money and hand it over.

The people around thought that Old Man Lan was still dissatisfied with the dog and the price. It's just a reluctance to accept it, but Zheng Si knows. Old man Lan was speechless, the old man didn't care much about the dozens of yuan at all, but he didn't think about it, just said a few words, and the stall owner directly lowered the price.

The dog basket stall owner had no intention of giving it away. Old man Lan didn't want it, there was still a dog cub in the cage in the car, just squeeze the two puppies, and they would be able to go back soon anyway.

The two puppies were crammed into a cage, both puppies, and there was not much fighting, but the little yellow dog was more lively. Took the initiative to tease a few times.

Zheng Si watched from the side. Two pups, together are less than a hundred dollars, how cheap. The same is a dog, which is comparable to those expensive breeds. Hundreds or thousands of times apart, if not more.

This dog is finished, as for what these two dogs will grow into in the future, Zheng Si can't guarantee it, Old Man Lan won't say it, it will be Old Man Lan's own responsibility to raise crooked in the future, and it has nothing to do with Zheng Si.

After returning to school, Old Man Lan placed the two puppies in a small flower garden and did not bring them back to the family building. Mrs. Zhai cooked some rice paste mixed with some minced meat for the two puppies to eat, and the two puppies ate happily.

Old man Lan named the two puppies, the little yellow dog was called Qianli, and the tabby one was called Shunfeng, and Old Man Lan hoped that these two dogs would be as capable as clairvoyant Shunfeng ears, and guard the small flower garden to prevent those who have crooked thoughts.

That pot of orchids is still blooming, and it takes longer than other varieties of orchids, which amazes many people. Since the orchid was recovered, the old man's small flower garden has not been opened to the public, nor has it been shown to people, and only a few people with good relationships will put it in. The media also cooled down, not because they didn't want to report, but because they didn't want to continue to report on it. Old man Lan also meant this, he didn't want to invite some more ill-intentioned people.

The puppies were still young, and Old Man Lan didn't divide them into nests, so he made a temporary kennel out of cardboard boxes and put them away, and when the two grew up, they would use wooden planks to make two larger kennels.

When Old Man Lan took two puppies to the pet center for examination, he learned from the mouths of the people there that there was a tabby saying that dogs with a coat color like "Shunfeng" still had tabby.

The people in the pet center deliberately meant to comfort Old Man Lan, so they exaggerated when they said it, and Old Man Lan was fluttering.

Actually, anyway, isn't it just a dirt dog? A lot of people still don't look at it. However, Old Man Lan's awkward mind is now gone, but he is still a little proud of picking up the leaks, and when he went back to school and saw Zheng Si, he smiled amiably.

"Black charcoal, good vision."

Zheng Si looked at the old man who was humming a little song and walked away, thinking, this is still young, and when he grows up, he will know whether his vision is good or not.

However, every time I heard Old Man Lan shout "Shunfeng", Zheng Si always felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and he would consciously add the word "express" in his heart.

The earth dog is easy to raise, grows fast, and the adaptability of the two puppies is also good, and the yard ran all over the yard within a few days of putting it in the small flower garden, and in addition to Zheng Si, the first cat these two knew was the sheriff.

It turned out that the sheriff ran the little flower garden to nibble on the flowers, and now he runs the little flower bed diligently because of these two pups. Zheng Si has long known that the sheriff is more interested in dogs than cats.

At first, the sheriff was just curious, and did not go over to get tired of the two pups, but stood on top of the flower shed, looking at the two puppies playing below, with their necks stretched out, as if they wanted to grow a giraffe's neck, and his eyes kept following the two pups.

After spotting the cat squatting on the shed, the two puppies came to the bottom of the shed, and the little yellow-haired "Qianli" barked at the sheriff with an obvious bark of a child. The roof of this shed is an inclined plane, the highest place is about three meters above the ground, the lowest place is less than half a meter, and the place where the sheriff squats is one meter above the ground, otherwise the two puppies would not notice it.

Junko didn't speak, but she also stared up at the cat on the trellis.

Zheng Si looked at the amplitude of the sheriff's tail flick and knew that this guy wanted to go down and play with those two very much, but he probably wanted to observe more.

Seeing that the sheriff had not said anything, Zheng Si detoured behind it and kicked it down.

ps：

In the past, Chen's grandmother had two dogs, one was a black-backed skewer and was very large, and the other was a tabby, which was much smaller. But if you look at the house, the main role is the tabby, the ear is Turling, and when you hear the sound of a living person approaching the door, you will call, and then the black-backed string will follow. Later, it was demolished, and I heard that the earth tabby never left there, and the family took it away and it would go back to the same place, screaming at the excavator, and did not leave until it died. Chen was still in college at the time, and the dog was no longer there when he heard the news.
