Chapter 3: Dreams and Dogs
Tang Hua stood on the beach, at a loss.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't feel the pain no matter how he pinched his thigh, he would have thought that he had crossed over, and now it seems that he should be trapped in a dream at this moment.
It's just that he has never had such a real dream.
It is a large island with a sandy coast as far as the eye can see.
There are no people, not even animals, yellow beaches, yellow islands, no grass, not a single hair.
No, it's not called a dime no longer - in the center of the island is a high mountain, and next to the mountain is a big tree.
That's a strange description, right? What do you mean by "a tree next to a mountain"? Shouldn't it be "a tree growing on the mountain of a high mountain"?
No, you read that right.
Because it was a tree taller than a mountain, this tree was so towering that Tang Hua couldn't even see the top of the tree.
Visually, the tree is several kilometers tall just for the visible part of the naked eye.
This is very mysterious, Tang Hua knows that on the earth, there are no such tall trees.
"So, it's a dream!" Tang Hua shook his head and sighed, this dream is very real, but he doesn't want to stay any longer, if this is a dream of being an official and making a fortune and enjoying life, he may still be addicted, but except for the big tree, there is not even bird poop here, it is too boring.
He wanted to wake himself up, and it stands to reason that the quickest way was to die in this dream.
So he jumped into the sea 7 times, but alas, he seemed to be lighter than a feather, and no matter how much he jumped, he just couldn't sink;
He wanted to dig a pit and bury himself alive, but when he scooped up a piece of sand or dirt by hand, the pit on the ground would immediately "heal" and grow, and it seemed to grow on its own.
Finally, he found a rock on the beach and wanted to hit his head to death, but this time he did, but it didn't hurt at all, and his head was like a ball, and he was bounced away with his body, to no avail.
However, the knockdown was not without success, at the very least, a layer of sand on the stone was knocked down by him, revealing its original appearance - it was engraved with letters.
This should be a stele similar to the earth boundary, this stone should have been very high, but the upper half of it seemed to be broken, it should have been caused by something violently impacted, Tang Hua could even see dense and cobweb-like cracks near the fracture.
The upper part disappeared, and only one word was engraved on the lower part left, the shape of this character was very similar to an oracle bone inscription, which Tang Hua definitely didn't recognize, but he didn't know why, he could feel it very exactly, this must be a "Shuo" character.
"What the hell is this dream?" Tang Hua was very anxious, he couldn't dream anymore, in the real world, he seemed to be swallowed by the dog demon connected to the street, he didn't want to have an inexplicable dream, and then be digested into a piece of shit and pulled out.
"Click!"
A shrill sound came from the sky, and it was terrifying to hear, as if the bones of some animal were shattering.
"Huh?"
Tang Hua found that with the sound of the voice, his body gradually became transparent, "Am I going to wake up?" ”
As soon as the words fell, he felt that his feet were empty, and the feeling of weightlessness came, as if falling from a high altitude, and as soon as he saw a flower, he "returned" to the dark alleyway.
"Whew! Sure enough, it's a dream! Tang Hua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, he was glad that he woke up, and even more glad that he was still alive and didn't become shit.
"Click!"
The shrill voice appeared again, but this time, it was not from the sky, but from the side.
"Forehead ......"
Tang Hua's eyes widened, because he saw the big yellow dog lying on the ground in a good manner, gnawing on something like a tiger, and when he looked closely, the thing it gnawed was a translucent humanoid "creature", except for the long black horn on the top of the thing's head, it was a skinny man, but it was too dark, although it was translucent, Tang Hua could also see that its skin was gray-black, like the ashes left over from burning straw in the countryside.
“!!!”
Tang Hua's awakening movement seemed to be noticed by the big yellow dog, and it turned its head suddenly, startling Tang Hua.
"Good...... Is it tasty? Tang Hua asked awkwardly, obviously, this sentence failed to ease the atmosphere of the scene.
What is the saying? "I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air".
The big yellow dog no longer gnawed, just stared at Tang Hua's eyes, and the humanoid monster on the ground was eaten by it until only its head and a thigh remained.
"Uh...... I'm talking nonsense, you go on, leave me alone. Tang Hua got up, tried his best to keep his composure, and prepared to continue his "great cause of escape".
"I'm wearing a lot of power, I need your help, human!" The big yellow dog suddenly spoke.
"I'll know it." Tang Hua covered his chest with one hand and pointed at the big yellow dog with the other: "You are really a dog demon!" ”
"I'm not a dog, don't equate me with that inferior creature...... Forget it, don't talk about that, I need your help, my body has lost too much blood, my strength is no longer enough to repair itself at the moment, and being able to talk to you is already the limit of what I can do after eating this evil ghost. The big yellow dog shook off the black blood stains on his mouth and nose and said.
"Dog demons aren't low-level creatures, are they?" Tang Hua muttered in his heart, although he didn't want to help, he really wanted to slip away now, anyway, he lost his job, so he would buy tickets online immediately, and go back to his hometown early tomorrow morning, leave the city, and leave this place of right and wrong.
However, there was a monster on the other side, and he had just eaten a demon - it is not difficult to guess that it should be the evil ghost that almost strangled him before, and the evil ghost was bitten to death and eaten by the dog demon, and he was rescued.
How can such a big monster resist himself?
"Well, I don't know how to deal with your wounds, so how about I take you to the veterinary hospital?" Tang Hua asked.
The big yellow dog didn't speak, just nodded.
"Find me a doctor with a higher level." After the big yellow dog finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he lay on the ground and didn't move, he should have lost too much blood and fainted.
"You saved my life...... Although you brought these troubles to me in the first place, even if we settle down, when I take you to the vet, you will owe me again. Tang Hua was born with a little broken mouth, he spoke, picked up the fainted big yellow dog, and walked to the entrance of the alley.
The body of the one-horned demon was scattered like ashes by the wind after the big yellow dog fainted.
………………
"Windsor Pet Veterinary Hospital" is a medium and large veterinary hospital in Longcang City.
When Tang Hua rushed to the hospital with the big yellow dog, it was already 20 o'clock in the evening, this is a veterinary hospital, not a people's hospital.
As for what was going on, Tang Hua looked at the middle-aged male doctor and the young female nurse who were a little untidy, and inevitably had a point in his heart.
So the doctor didn't give him a good face from the moment he entered the door, and he can understand it.
X-rays were taken on the hind legs of the big yellow dog, and two hind legs were fractured, the veins and blood vessels were broken in many places, and the muscles and soft tissues were also damaged a lot.
"Excuse me, doctor." After the doctor fixed the fracture point of the big yellow dog and treated the wound, Tang Hua smiled and thanked him, "By the way, what breed is this dog?" ”
He thought it was a dog demon, but he was curious about its breed.
"Chinese Pastoral Dog." The doctor's face was stinky, "It's not worth anything!" ”
"What?" Tang Hua didn't hear clearly.
"The Chinese pastoral dog, that is, the earth dog, like the one you sent is commonly known as 'rhubarb', the farmers' market in the southern suburbs of the city is about 20 yuan a pound this season, and the puppy and cub in the flower and bird market are 15 yuan a piece." The veterinarian replied impatiently, his face a little mocking: "But for a while, the medical expenses have already been 1,000, and you will have to bring it to anti-inflammatory injections, buy calcium tablets, nutritional pastes, etc., if it is completely good, it will cost more than 2,000 in total, hehe...... Let's settle the medical expenses first! ”
Tang Hua doesn't know much about cats and dogs, but when you listen to the word "Chinese pastoral dog", you know that this kind of dog seems to be a traditional dog cultivated by Huaguo itself since ancient times, right?
The veterinarian clearly despised the dog, and even more so the owner of the dog who brought it to the hospital.
"What's wrong with the dog? The earth dog still cultivates to perfection! Tang Hua actually wanted to fight back arrogantly like this.
thinks that "foreign things" are more high-end and atmospheric than Huaguo's own things, which is an old problem of Chinese people, so it is said that Tang Hua's own cosmetics industry, no matter how their products meet "international standards", or even exceed "international standards", in the eyes of those noble ladies, they cannot be compared with other international manufacturers, let alone sell at a price.
Some Chinese people even think that their race is inferior to foreigners, and everything in China is not as good as that of foreign countries, so Huaguo's own dogs are not as good as foreign dogs, and Tang Hua has always been very unhappy about this.
"You don't believe it? Or was it that when you bought a dog, you were deceived by a dog dealer and thought it was a valuable dog breed? The doctor looked at Tang Hua's face and thought he was not convinced, so he shook his head with a smile and opened the door next to the treatment room - there was a room full of pets, including several precious dog breeds.
Tang Hua hugged the big yellow dog and looked at it, but he didn't know any of them.
"Look, this is an Akita, this is a Rottweiler, this is a Samoyed, this is Ashawa, this is ...... Either one is thousands of times more expensive than your earth dog, and such a dog comes to the hospital for treatment! The veterinarian patted the dog cage and said.
"Wang! Woof! An Akita dog and an Alaskan dog barked, and the arrogance in their barks was exactly the same as the doctor's tone, obviously barking at the big yellow dog in Tang Hua's hand.
At this moment, the big yellow dog opened his eyes slightly.
"Woo woo woo woo ~ " Those "honorable" dogs stopped barking, as if they suddenly saw something terrifying, and instantly their limbs were limp and feces and urine flowed together.
It's like a dog slave who is powerful outside the palace, and suddenly sees the emperor who is out on patrol.
