Chapter 10: Dog Fighting

Ash rubbed his eyes and saw a strange-looking old lady, dressed in dirty clothes, sitting cross-legged on the shrine desk, holding a cigarette pouch and pot in her hand, looking at herself with a smile.

The old lady was no more than a foot tall, and Ash was shocked, he had never seen such a small person. A little frightened, his body stepped back slightly.

"Young man, what are you crying about?" The old lady spoke, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and it felt like the creaking of a wooden door in an old house.

Ash was scared and wanted to run, but it was raining heavily outside, and besides, he had nowhere to go.

"I, I didn't cry," Ash lowered his head nervously.

"Don't be afraid, I am the great immortal in this temple, if you have any difficulties, tell me, I can help you," the old lady said as she took a puff of her cigarette.

Ash raised his head in confusion, looked at this ugly-looking grandmother, felt aggrieved, and tears welled up again.

The 12-year-old child knew something, sobbed, and told her about his family, saying that he didn't dare to go back, and when he went back, he would have to be beaten to death by his father.

The old lady smoked a cigarette and said: "You are 12 years old this year, say that it is not big, say that it is not small, it is time to reduce the burden on the family, you are lazy and do not work, your father should beat you." ”

Ash bowed his head sadly and cried, rubbing the corners of his dirty clothes.

"But how much money can you make by picking up rags? To no avail, you still have younger brothers and sisters, you can't let them be like you, they don't have to read, and then pick up the rags," the old lady continued.

"Grandma, what should I do? When I go out to work, people think I'm small and don't want me," Ash cried even more sadly.

The old lady said, "Isn't dog fighting popular in our town?" That makes money quickly, you can let your dad go dog fighting. ”

"But, I don't have any powerful dogs, and the dogs that people fight dogs are very expensive, and my family can't afford them," Ash said as he wiped his snot with his hand.

The old lady giggled: "It's okay, if grandma can turn you into a powerful wolf dog, won't you be able to earn money for your father?" ”

"Huh?" As soon as he heard this, Ash's body trembled, and he turned into a dog? Earning money for your dad?

He looked at the old lady nervously, his mind turned quickly, during the day, he saw with his own eyes in the tree, the winning side, others gave hundreds of thousands of money, and indeed earned a lot of money at once.

Can...... If you are a human being, how can you become a dog?

"You are 12 years old this year, if you want to make a lot of money, you have to study and go to college, at least what do you have for your family? You have younger brothers and sisters, and they can't even eat now......" said the old lady with her cheeks puffed.

Seeing that Ash didn't speak in a panic, the old lady continued: "Be a son to be filial, now, this is the only way to make your family get rich quickly, are you willing?" ”

"Grandma, I became a dog, can I turn back?" Ash asked worriedly.

"Yes, when your family is rich, you will run back to the temple, and grandma will turn you back into ......"

After some rhetoric, Xiaozhi's heart was moved, he is both a son and an elder brother, he wants to share his father's worries, take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and take on the responsibility of the family.

Ash nodded in agreement, willing to turn into a dog. He knelt in front of the shrine futon according to the old lady's instructions, bowed to the old lady three times and bowed nine times, the old lady muttered cross-legged and muttered in her mouth, and blew at Ash, who fainted directly.

The next day, in the early morning after the rain, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the warm sun shone into the temple, Xiao Zhi woke up, stretched his waist, and was surprised to find that something was wrong with his body, he... He really turned into a dog! A big black dog!

He was scared, and only then did he remember what happened last night? I wanted to open my mouth to call grandma, but the old lady was nowhere to be found, and... He couldn't speak, he could only make a "Wangwang" sound.

Ash panicked, stunned for a long time before accepting the facts in front of him, and went home in a huff.

Before entering the house, I heard the dinging of the house, my father scolded wildly, and whipped my brother with a stick, but Ash blocked my brother and let my father whip him.

Ash's dad wondered, where did this big black dog come from? Seems to be quite sensible......

In this way, Ash returned to the family in another way, where his father went, it followed him, loyal, very popular with his father, he found that he was missing, and his father was not in a hurry, but he was angry that no one was making money for him.

Dog fighting was popular in the neighborhood, and it soon dawned on his father that perhaps he could try his hand at this new big black dog, which was quite strong and might win two games.

The opportunity finally came, Ash went to the battlefield, facing the fierce real wolf dog, Ash was scared, but when he thought of his younger siblings, who were always in tears, dirty little faces. Ash gritted his teeth and rushed forward with a snort!

Dog fighting is the most cruel thing in the world, the two dogs are biting wildly, and the skin and flesh are blurred in an instant! Xiao Zhi fought bloodily, and there was only one belief in his heart: "Xiao Yong, Erya, my brother will earn money for you to buy food!" ”

Ash has a human IQ, unlike other stupid dogs who only know how to use brute force, he knows how to advance and retreat, dodge flexibly, and bite the opponent's vital point and stick to it!

After a few games, although he was covered in bruises, he won completely! The father was so excited that he excitedly lit the money he had won, but he didn't notice that there was a crystal tear hanging from the corner of the big black dog's eyes with a bloody face.

As soon as the door to make money opened, life was settled, and my father bought two roast chickens and two catties of sorghum wine, and went home to eat and drink at the same time, and he didn't beat and scold his children.

Watching his younger brothers and sisters gnawing on chicken legs, Ash's heart warmed, and he also saw his father's smiling face that he hadn't shown for a long time.

Since then, his father has often taken Ash to haunt several surrounding villages and towns, and he can win a lot of money every time, which also makes Ash gradually believe that what Grandma said is right, dog fighting is indeed a shortcut to change fate!

Sometimes, the younger brother would ask his father, where did the elder brother go? The father looked disdainful: "That Wang Balamb ran away, just like your ** mother, it is better to raise a dog to raise him!" Every time I hear these words, Ash will feel very sad in my heart, and I think with low self-esteem, in the future... Just be a dog.

However, after a long battle, Ash's old injuries have not healed, new injuries have been filled, and his mouth has been deformed, he endured severe pain, and was forced to go to the battlefield by his father again and again!

In two years, Ash's father earned a lot of money, built a new house, and married a stepmother, but Ash became weaker and weaker, and every time he finished fighting, he trembled like he was dying, and he couldn't hold on any longer.

Dad bought a new mastiff, which is much stronger than Ash, but every time he fights dogs, he still lets Ash play, and he is reluctant to use his new dog.

Finally, during a battle with Demu, Ash couldn't resist anymore, was bitten off his mandible, and was defeated, his father was furious, kicked it hard, and sold it to the butcher who collected dogs in the village that night.

Lying in the broken cage of the tricycle, Ash looked at the fields on the side of the road in despair, remembering that when he was a child, he followed his mother who was doing farm work and played in the field, when the sky was so blue, the birds were chirping, and the grass was green. I still remember the grasshoppers that my mother weaved, and I could play happily all afternoon......

Time can't be turned back, it hurts to be alive, saliva is accompanied by blood and dirt infecting the wound, Ash thought about running back to the temple and asking his grandmother to turn him back into a human again, but when he thought that being a man was harder than being a dog, he gave up the idea.

After a night, the next day, Ash was sent to the restaurant, and when he was about to be slaughtered in the back kitchen shed, he met the second uncle who had just come out of the toilet and was curious to watch.

The second uncle saw at a glance that something was wrong with the dog, and spent a high price to save Ash from the butcher's knife......

"Second uncle, how can you tell that Xiaozhi, he is a human and not a dog?" I wiped away my tears sadly and asked.

The second uncle said: "Dogs and people, the eyes are different, whether it is a dog or a wolf, the eyes are hanging in the middle, surrounded by the whites of the eyes, where have you seen the dog with the eyelids up and down, only people are!" ”

"I rescued him and sent him to the pet clinic for treatment, and the child kept staring at me with tears in his eyes, which made me more convinced of my judgment that he became like this after being turned into an animal," the second uncle said with a little sadness.

"Second uncle, what do you mean by turning into an animal?" I asked, surprised.

"It's an evil art, it's similar to Zhu You, witch Gu, it's long gone extinct in the world, but... Ash's situation is more complicated, he is not an artificial animal, but a demonized animal," the second uncle explained.

"Demon animals? Second uncle, do you mean, the old lady in the temple, she... Is it a goblin? I asked, surprised.

The second uncle muttered: "It's not accurate to say that it is a goblin, the beast's cultivation has reached a certain stage, and they need someone to seal themselves, they often pretend to be adults to talk to you, if you fall into the trap, the end will be similar to Ash." ”

Then, he told me an example of Hebei folk legend, a weasel pretending to be an adult, standing on your way home in the evening, and asking you: "Big brother, do you think I look like a person or a god?" ”

If you answer like a person, or like a god, then you're finished, and when you go back, it's like hysteria, eating,, peeing, sleeping, all the same as a weasel, what does it do? Because, gods, humans, goblins, beasts, ghosts, insects, the first level of hierarchy is strict, and the beasts have cultivated to a certain level, and they can't break through the bottleneck, so they need a higher-level existence to seal themselves.

"Ash's situation is very similar to this, maybe he was deceived by an old cat or a wild dog hidden in the City God's Temple, and the man became a dog, and the beast himself got a major repair," the second uncle explained.

I was scared and embarrassed after listening to it, it seems that this sentence is not false at all, don't keep talking about it, otherwise it can really cause trouble!

"Second uncle, how should you answer when you encounter a situation like a weasel asking someone, like a human being, like a god?" I asked nervously.

The second uncle snorted coldly: "Answer a fart!" Either ignore it, or just scold it, I think you are like a bastard, and then depreciate it, perhaps, it will be good for people! ”
