The prince glanced at the little man in front of him, and the stubbornness in his eyes looked a little distressing, so he asked him:

"Little dog, I see that under this old locust tree, there is a small tomb, who is this? I see that the word "Second Master" seems to be written on this simple piece of wood with charcoal, who is this Second Master? Who wrote it? ”

When the little dog heard the word "second master", his eyes were already blurred with tears, he stretched out his little hand and quietly wiped a handful of tears, and then said with a little choked:

"Back to the prince, this tomb is buried is my father's life-saving benefactor, he has no name in his life, calling himself "second master", my father said that he doesn't know the reason, it seems to be a kind of inheritance, what is the specific inheritance, the puppy is not clear, but the puppy's father, before his death, also called himself "second master", although except for me, few people will call him the second master, but he still insists on calling himself the second master, he said that the number of lives is already very bitter, not even a surname, why not call himself a second master, it's nothing! ”

After hearing this, the expression on the prince's face was a little shocked, and he said to the little dog:

"So your father is not the biological child of the buried "second master"? What about you? Isn't it your father's biological child either? Otherwise, why did your father let you call him "Second Master" when you were alive? ”

The little dog nodded and replied to the old prince:

"Lord, I am not my father's biological son, I am also a child abandoned by my parents at the door of a big family, if my father hadn't tried his best to save me, I would have been eaten by the vicious dogs of the big family!"

"Daddy's last wish is to be buried under this old locust tree, he hopes to be able to look at me every day, he said, he is not terrible to die, but very happy, because this skin is a burden to him, now he looks at me happily, no longer have to worry about his stump leg dragging me down, he can also see his "second master" happily, no longer have to look at the wooden board every day, talk to it......."

"My father hopes to see that I can marry a wife and have children, and then have a full house of children and grandchildren, he said that way, he and his second master will sit on the top of the old locust tree every day and laugh happily on the branches!"

After the little dog said this in one breath, the wish in his eyes was captured by the old prince at once, so the prince asked the little dog softly:

"Little dog, after burying your father, do you want to continue to live here? Or do you want to follow me to the border of rare beasts? But you're so young, you can't help you for the time being, if you want, I can send someone to escort you to the capital and live in my house, are you willing? ”

The little dog knew that he was now the prince's subordinate, of course, he had no right to choose, so he said to the prince:

"The little dog is at the behest of the prince, and the prince tells the little one to serve wherever he goes, and the little one goes to serve there, but the little dog just begs the prince, no matter where he goes, he asks the prince to let me come back here every few years to see my father, if I can come back every year to lie down, it would be better, but I know that the road is far away, if I go back and forth, I'm afraid it will take a few months, so I just ask the prince to let me come back every three to five years!"

Yono thought for a while, and said to the puppy:

"That's it, my surname is Ling, and I call me Lord Ling in the capital, although I bought you, but I don't have to follow me to serve me, because you have also seen, there is no shortage of people around me to serve, on the contrary, you are still so young, no matter where you follow me, I still have to call for people to take care of you, why don't I build a temporary resting place here in this small temple, because every once in a while, someone will always pass by here, and you will be appointed as the person in charge of this place, You can open up this piece of wasteland, even this small temple, you can slowly rest, I believe in your ability, you can do it, but we have a limited budget, I can only take this small piece of wasteland with the old locust tree to help you buy, the rest of the things, you need to do it yourself, are you willing? ”

The little dog suddenly heard that the prince treated himself so intimately, promised to accompany his father's side, and helped himself to let himself settle down in this place.

"Little dog thank you for your great grace, you can rest assured, it won't take long, from the second half of the year, the little dog will make this wasteland a new look, the little dog will grow his own vegetables, grow food, plant trees, raise flowers, repair the roof, you can rest assured, prince, even if the little dog is desperate for his life, it will make this the best place to live on the road to your patrol as soon as possible!"

The prince nodded and motioned for the little dog to get up, but the little dog kowtowed heavily and said:

"Lord, as long as you need me when you need me, you have a letter, the little dog has absolutely no words, come to your side immediately, the little dog from today, the life is the prince yours, if the little dog is really blessed to marry a wife and have children in the future, then the family of the little dog and all the descendants of the little dog are your descendants, and the life is also your lord! As long as you give an order, our whole family will not hesitate! Lord Wang, the little dog swore again, saying that if he violated it, the whole family would be killed by thunder! ”

After speaking, the puppy bit off three of his fingers and pointed to the sky, indicating that he had sworn a blood oath and would never violate it!

The prince was also deeply moved, and stroked the little dog, only to find that the little dog's shoulders were so thin, it was hard to imagine how such a child could bear everything and live to such a big age.

"Lord Wang! The puppy's daddy has been packed up and is ready to be buried! Isn't it for the puppy to go over and take a look! ”

Wang Li walked over and bowed back to the prince.

"Well, you guys go!"

The prince didn't look back, just turned around, silently looked in the direction of the capital, and stopped talking.

The little dog followed Wang Li's footsteps closely, all the way upside down, entered the small temple, and found that his father's clothes had already been dressed neatly, and even the beard on his face had been cleaned up.
