Chapter Twenty-Six: Grandpa and His Dog
The more Honggu talked, the happier she became, and when it came to the highlights, she danced the rattan in her hand with a tiger and a tiger: "At that time, although I was a little girl, I liked to play with Da Shi and Lao Jiu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info One of them is skinny, and the other is tall, but both of them are also wretched. Most of the children in the village can't be beaten, especially Lao Jiu, who is as strong as a bear, but timid as a rabbit, no matter who is bullied, he doesn't dare to fight back. Except for the big stone and me, I haven't seen him majestic at any other time. ”
"At that time, I felt that Lao Jiu was so big and a tall man was really white. They were bullied by others in the tribe, and they came to tease me when they had no place to be angry. Every time it makes me angry, I cry with four eyes, and the four eyes don't listen to the big stone, but when I hold it, it is honest. Although Four-Eyes can't speak, I know it's the most sensible. As soon as I cried, the four eyes would lick my face, and if I cried again, it would lick again, and after a few licks, I would be discouraged. At that time, I thought that Four Eyes was the best dog in the world. ”
"But now that I think about it, I was really useless when I was a child, I was obviously half dead by the big stone and Lao Jiuqi, and I still played with them when I was angry." Speaking of this, Honggu seemed to recall the happy times of her childhood, and her face was full of bright smiles.
Tang Ge didn't expect Da Shi and Lao Jiu to be this kind of goods when they were young, and he didn't expect that there would be a dog with such a personality in his family. ”
When Honggu heard this, the smile on her face suddenly turned into sadness. Tang Ge understood that what was going to happen was definitely a sad story.
Sure enough, Honggu said slowly: "Later, once on a hunt, the hunting team met an old pig king. The old pig king was half a man tall, and he didn't know what he was stimulated, so he rushed up as soon as he met the hunting team and attacked him desperately. Not only did the dogs not stop him, but they trampled one to death and knocked one flying. The pig king ignored the hunting dogs, just rushed at the hunters, and finally arched a hunter to death on the tree, and the hunting team tried desperately to save it, but it caught the opportunity and arched another to death. ”
"The hunting team has never encountered such a ferocious wild boar, and it is completely fatal to fight. Although the pig king was seriously injured in the end, he still stood out from the hounds. When the hunting party returned, it was as if the sky had fallen in the tribe, and no one knew why the Boar King would attack the hunter so desperately. It is even rumored that the old witch did something wrong, which attracted the punishment of the mountain god. ”
"Your grandfather sat at home for two whole days and barely said a word. On the third day, he asked me and Dashi to wait at home, and when it got dark, I went to Lao Jiu's house to borrow it. I went into the mountain with four eyes. Da Shi and I were not very sensible at that time, and it was very scary to see your grandfather's face, and it was rare to be obedient and honestly stay at home for a day, and only go to Lao Jiu's house at night. Lao Jiu's father thought it was strange that the two of us suddenly came to spend the night, and asked us what was going on, and I was frightened at that time. That's when we realized that the situation was bad. The rat master gathered the hunters, discussed with the old witch all night, and set off before dawn the next day. Big Stone and I waited at home in horror for news, and waited for two days for the hunting party to come back. ”
Speaking of this, Honggu was so choked up that she could barely speak, and tears flowed down her face. Tang Ge chuckled in his heart, he could already guess the ending.
Honggu forcibly suppressed her tears, and then said to Tang Ge: "The people in the tribe are back, carrying your grandfather, the four eyes, and the pig king. Your grandfather was covered in blood, his stomach was picked open by the pig king, and he didn't know how many bones were broken on his body, and bone stubble came out in many places. The pig king is also dead. There are only four eyes, the whole body is in tatters, one leg has been bitten off, and there is hardly a good skin on the body, and there is still a breath of air. ”
"The people of the hunting team said that your grandfather set a lot of traps, and together with Four Eyes, he led the Pig King to the trap area, and relied on the trap to fight with the Pig King. When the hunting team faintly heard the cries of the pig king and the four eyes, they were far away from the place where they were fighting, and when they hurried to the place, the battle was over. The place where the fight was fought was covered with blood, and it was impossible to tell whose it was. At that time, the pig king had already died, and your grandfather was arched by a wild boar under a big stone, and the only arm that was not broken when he was dying was still holding the knife stuck in the pig king's body. There was only four eyes left and there was still a breath, and he also bit the throat of the pig king, and he didn't let go of his mouth when he fainted. The hunting party couldn't break it, so they had to cut off the piece of meat it was biting. ”
"You and I were frightened at the time, so I hugged your grandfather and cried and cried, and I felt that the sky was falling. The big stone also cried, crying and crying but snatched an axe, and smashed the pig king to pieces while crying, and the people in the tribe just watched, and no one went up to stop him, until the big stone lost his strength and fainted, and then took him away. The old witch said to burn the pig king and your grandfather together, so that your grandfather's soul can be liberated. I didn't have any ideas with Big Rock, so I agreed. Looking at that fire at the time, I was really... ”
Speaking of this, Honggu couldn't cry again. Tang Ge also felt a burst of heartache, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Honggu cried sadly, and recovered quickly, maybe it was a long time, and no matter how serious the pain was, it slowly faded. wiped his tears, restrained the team of bear children, and then said to Tang Ge: "You and I didn't notice the four eyes at the time, your grandfather died, Da Shi and I were heartbroken, I really don't know how those days passed." ”
"After many days, the old witch came to my house with four eyes to look for me and Big Rock. We were also taken aback to see that Four Eyes was not dead. I hugged Four Eyes and cried, but Big Stone came and kicked Four Eyes, scolding Four Eyes and saying, 'All are dead, why are you not dead!' And then he cried. The old witch said that the four eyes were already very old, and it stands to reason that they would definitely not survive such a serious injury, but maybe it was the four eyes who were too old, and their bodies were thin and light, although they were covered with injuries, they did not hurt their internal organs, and under his careful treatment of the four eyes, they finally survived. But Siyan doesn't eat or drink, he feeds it every day with his mouth broken, and there is no way to go on like this. Fortunately, the wound has almost healed, so I will send the four eyes back to see if it will be better at home. He also said that Four Eyes is a hero in the tribe, and he has contributed to the tribe all his life, and he should enjoy the best treatment. Whatever you need, go and tell the Chief, and the Chief will do everything in his power to meet the needs of the Four Eyes. ”
"I'm very happy that Four Eyes is back, and it's better to have one more bite at home than one less. But every time Dashi saw four eyes, he was on fire, either scolding or kicking. But the four eyes did not move, and he lost his temper. At first, Four Eyes still didn't eat or drink, and there was no light in his eyes, others didn't know, but I could see the sadness in Four Eyes' eyes. ”
"Four-eyed refused to eat, so I held it and pretended to cry like I did when I was a child. As soon as I cried, it ate, and I knew that Four Eyes was coaxing me. So I continued to cry, and many times it was supposed to be a fake cry, and crying and crying turned into real crying. Four Eyes must not want me to be sad, and then as long as I feed it something, it eats, feeds it water, and drinks it, but lies in front of our house all day long, not even moving, just staring at the mountains in the distance. That's where your grandfather comes back every time he goes out hunting. I thought it was because it was missing a front leg and there was a wound on its body, so I guess I couldn't walk anymore, and I didn't care. After a few days, the big stone may have figured it out, and he knew that he couldn't blame the four eyes for this, so he didn't toss the four eyes anymore. Many times I will sit with the four eyes, and I will also look at the mountains in the distance stupidly. ”
Slowly, the wounds on the four eyes healed, but there was still no intact fur on the body. It just lies in front of our house like a stone every day, and I don't see it move every day. I was worried, so I went to the witch. The old witch came, observed the four eyes for a long time, and spoke with them for a long time, before he told me and the big stone that the four eyes were dead. I didn't believe it, I thought the witch was talking nonsense. Four-eyed is still alive, can eat, drink, and coax me. But Dashi nodded and said he understood. The Great Witch sighed and left. ”
"Early the next morning, Big Stone carried the equipment your grandfather had left behind, and told me that he was going to send Four Eyes away. I didn't follow him, crying and making a fuss about not allowing him to touch his eyes. But the big stone said to the four eyes, 'Let's go.' I'll send you on your way. Then he turned around and left. Four Eyes actually stood up and jumped up to keep up with the big rock. ”
I was scared and angry, and I shouted hard to come back. Four eyes looked back at me for a moment, wagged their tails, and still followed the big rock. Four-eyed wasn't like any other dog, and I'd never seen him wag his tail before. I know it's over, Four Eyes is saying goodbye to me, and it's definitely not coming back this time. I felt like I had been abandoned, and I hid at home and cried for a day, and I sulked for a day. It wasn't until the afternoon when Big Stone came back that I asked him what Four-Eyes was, and he told me that Four-Eyes was dead, and this time it was really dead. I saw the big stone covered in blood, and he cried very sadly when he said this, and I knew he wasn't lying. ”
"I was too young to understand why Four Eyes was leaving, but I felt like I was being bullied by Big Rock and Four Eyes, so I cried again. Because of this, I haven't taken care of the big rock for a few days. A few days later, Big Stone brought me back a puppy, and I just threw the dog out. Since then, Big Stone and I have never had a dog again. ”
The soft place in Tang Ge's heart was touched by this story. He was silent for a long time, immersed in this heart-wrenching story. Through this story, Tang Ge has a deeper understanding of his family. It turns out that Big Stone is also the descendant of the greatest hunter in the tribe, and it turns out that Big Stone never had dogs. It turns out that the big stone with a clumsy tongue and a little wooden tongue has such an emotional side. It turned out that there was such a wonderful old man in his house, and his dog.
