Chapter 32: Critical
In fact, Zhang Taiping really has no concept of the breed and bloodline of dogs, so he has no requirements.
Not all purebred dogs are good, and not all skewer dogs are bad, it mainly depends on the dog's surname. Just like Demu, this breed has only developed in the past two hundred years, and it is also crossed by other dogs, but it retains an excellent surname, and is known for its obedience to the strong surname, so it has been widely spread and formed a unique and excellent breed.
There is also the so-called "earth dog" in most rural areas of China, in fact, the scientific name is the Chinese pastoral dog, which is also a hybrid breed. Most of them are inferior breeds, with low intelligence, poor obedience, and can only be a simple caretaker, and can only make a noise when there is any situation.
But there are exceptions. Occasionally, a dog called the "Mountain Dog" appears in rural mountainous areas, and it is said that this dog is a cross between a dog and a wolf. Fierce and abnormal, but usually not inconspicuous, only in the mountains and forests to show its kingly demeanor, that is, when encountering wild boars, black bears and even tigers, dare to come forward to fight.
And this brown puppy is the kind of dog that has been crossed but inherited a good breed, and it is full of spiritual surnames. If you encounter it, you can't let it go.
"To be honest, boss, your asking price is too high, and the price of the other three is reasonable, after all, it is a purebred St. Bernard. But this is only a hybrid, not to mention, it is much thinner than the others, it must be born with defects, and this price is unreasonable. He Cheng saw that Zhang Taiping wanted this puppy with all his heart, so he found fault and pushed the price down.
"How about two hundred?" Yang Wanli gave a price, and both of them sang blackfaces, "I don't know if it's good to take this back, I don't know what the surname is if it's good to raise, if I inherit some shortcomings, then buy back a waste, it's no different from a rural dog, it's better to buy a dog for more than ten dollars in the countryside." ”
After singing the black face, Zhang Taiping came out to sing red face again: "Boss, I really want this dog, not two hundred, how about four hundred?" In fact, you also understand that the positioning of this dog is no different from the positioning of a pastoral dog. ”
The boss was helpless by the words of the three of them, and said with a bitter face: "It seems that if I don't sell it, I will regret it for life, if I don't see that you sincerely want it, I really don't want to sell it." Four hundred is four hundred! Seriously, in my opinion you make money, although most of the hybrids are inferior, but it can also be boutique, once you grow up to be a good dog, inherit a little more Caucasian breed and you will earn. ”
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "That also depends on luck." "But I thought in my heart, boss, you really said it, this is really a good dog, and I did earn it.
Two years ago, I heard that there was a dog king cub with a price tag of more than 2 million, and the owner had not sold it yet. The dog king was not a purebred, but a cross between the Caucasus and the Tibetan mastiff.
After paying the money, Zhang Taiping hugged the brown puppy in his arms, and the puppy was really extraordinary, as if he knew that this was his future master, and stretched out his little pink tongue to lick Zhang Taiping's hand.
In this way, Zhang Taiping held the puppy in his arms. The parrot, which had already stood on Ah Lei, flew to Zhang Taiping's shoulder again, and slanted at the puppy in Zhang Taiping's arms with his eyes, as if he was competing for favor and demonstrating.
Out of the market, it's already past three o'clock. Four people, two dogs, and a parrot found a restaurant.
"It's also good if this puppy can really inherit the Caucasian bloodline when he grows up, and if he can't inherit it, it's not a pity to become a pure hybrid dog, after all, I don't know how much." Finding a seat and sitting down, He Cheng said not optimistically.
As for whether this dog has a future, Zhang Taiping has not considered it at all, and he does not need to think about it, believing that the test of space is the most effective. He has a spiritual surname at a young age, and even if he can't inherit much Caucasus or St. Bernard bloodline when he grows up, he won't be a poor surname or stupid dog who obeys because of hybridization.
"Since I bought it, Brother Zhang will give it a name." Yang Wanli looked at Zhang Taiping's puppy and said.
Zhang Taiping really hasn't considered this problem, the dog in the countryside is not valuable, and it is just treated as a beast, as long as it can take care of the home, who has the leisure to name a local dog. It is generally called "Ah Huang" and "Wangcai", and I think that Ah Huang in Zhang Taiping's family is like this.
Zhang Taiping set up the puppy with both hands and looked at it carefully. The whole body has brown fur and a thick mouth, like a lion cub.
"Let's call it 'Lion.'"
Yang Wanli also made a lot of senses, and said: "This name is good, the bloodline of the parents is there, and the most unfortunate person will be very big, plus a body of brown hair is really likely to look like a lion." ”
It was already past four o'clock after eating, and Zhang Taiping planned to go back, after all, the road was not close, and there was no convenient means of transportation. The group dispersed.
Yang Wanli offered to drive Zhang Taiping back, but Zhang Taiping thought about it and did not refuse. One is that Yang Wanli can piggyback on the road, and the other is that the road is really a bit far, and if you take a ride, you don't know when you can go back.
It's a short drive on the mountain road. After entering the mountain, Yang Wanli was full of praise for the scenery along the way, especially the light and shadow cast by the afterglow of the sunset on the top, which made people feel like they were in a fairyland.
When I arrived in the village, it was already past five o'clock, and it was still dawn.
Zhang Taiping invited Yang Wanli to sit at home, at least to have a cup of tea. Yang Wanli looked at the sky and readily agreed.
Parking the car in the wheat field in the middle of the village, the two walked to Zhang Taiping's house in the southernmost part of the village.
And Zhang Taiping saw Yaya sitting alone on the doorrail, stroking her little belly with one hand, and holding her chin with the other hand looking at the path that stretched out to the mountains along the river in front of the door.
Zhang Taiping suddenly had a bad premonition, and couldn't help but speed up his pace. Yang Wanli, who was following behind, didn't know why, so he had to trot up and follow closely.
When Yaya saw Zhang Taiping coming back, she stood up happily. As soon as he wanted to speak, he was blocked by Zhang Taiping.
"Where's your mother?"
"Mom went into the mountains to collect medicine, but she hasn't come back yet, I'm so hungry"
Zhang Taiping didn't care about the words behind the girl, and asked a little impatiently: "When did your grandma go?" ”
"After Dad left in the morning, Mom went into the mountain" Yaya was a little afraid of Zhang Taiping's current tone and expression, and lowered her head and whispered.
Hearing this, Zhang Taiping shivered all over his body, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and the hair on his whole body seemed to stand up.
Suddenly regret hit like a tide, and blamed myself for saying that the saffron was picked in Camel Ridge, and his wife must have seen that saffron was so expensive, so she thought about it and went to Camel Ridge to try her luck.
Camel Ridge is not far from the mountain, and Cai Yazhi often enters the mountain, and is no stranger to the mountain road, four hours of a round trip is enough, plus two hours of searching time, she should come back now. And Cai Yazhi is not a person without measure, and she will not be so obsessed with her mind that she will not come back to cook for Yaya.
And now it's past five o'clock, but he hasn't come back yet, it must be thinking of this Zhang Taiping's whole body is chilling again, and he doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
He put the little dog and lion in Yaya's arms and said, "You just wait at home, don't go out again, I'll go to my mother." ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the maid's reaction, she rushed into the house, picked up the woodcutter placed under the eaves of the middle courtyard, and hurriedly came out.
Yang Wanli had basically figured out what had happened, and he also picked up a wrist-thick wooden stick and followed closely behind, Ah Lei was like a shadow, and the parrot also flew up.
Zhang Taiping originally wanted Yang Wanli to wait at home and go back in advance, but after thinking about it, one more person means more strength and more possibility, and there is also a lion-like Alei. In case of any accidents, Arley is also a helper.
Zhang Taiping is all the way ahead, like a Lingyuan climbing, no matter how dangerous the road is, it can be easily crossed. Yang Wanli in the back followed Zhang Taiping's pace, Zhang Taiping stepped there, he stepped there, and he didn't dare to be distracted to look at other places at all, afraid that once he couldn't keep up, he wouldn't dare to get down. Sometimes it's better to look at the steep mountain walls than to close your eyes. But Zhang Taiping can walk on the ground like this, so he can't help but admire Zhang Taiping again.
Walking through the most dangerous place, Zhang Taiping said to Yang Wanli behind him: "I'll take a step first, and you can follow behind." ”
Yang Wanli gasped and said, "Brother Zhang will go first, don't take care of me, I'll arrive later." ”
After finishing speaking, he saw that Zhang Taiping accelerated suddenly, and his body rushed out like an arrow off the string, which made Yang Wanli, who had already run with all his strength, both stunned and admired.
Now Zhang Taiping's heart is like being roasted on a fire, and he is so anxious that he can't wait to spread a pair of wings and fly over. After turning a corner, where Yang Wanli couldn't see, there was another acceleration, and the figure cut through the mountain wind and left a series of afterimages in the air.
It gets dark earlier in the mountains than outside. The sky gradually darkened, and by the time Zhang Taiping approached Camel Ridge, there were already heavy mountain shadows in his field of vision, and for ordinary people, his vision was already a little blurred. But this does not affect Zhang Taiping's eyesight, even at night he can see everything around him as clearly as day.
It didn't take long to hear the thud of a heavy object falling to the ground, and Zhang Taiping immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
From afar, I saw a figure huddled tightly on a large tree, and a black blind man kept hitting the tree under the tree. The figure on the tree is Cai Yazhi, and the black blind man under the tree must be the guy who crossed the Camel Ridge.
