In a gloomy alley, next to a foul-smelling garbage pile surrounded by a swarm of flies, a small figure gently swayed, hoping to find something edible from this pile of garbage that had been searched by many wild cats and dogs, but it was gouging and planing, and its whole body was almost into the garbage heap, but there was still no gain, but because the hole was too big, the pile of garbage collapsed......

It managed to crawl out of the collapsed garbage heap, with all kinds of stinky garbage hanging on its body, and it shook its head weakly, revealing only a slit in its eyes, and a sad look appeared.

This is a small wild dog, a Shar Pei dog who is not fierce at all and cannot beat other wild dogs.

It doesn't know where it came from, it seems to be a stray dog since it was conscious, and even the first smell it smells in its life is the rancid smell of the garbage heap.

For as long as he can remember, he has lived in this seemingly prosperous city from the outside, but it has rarely seen the prosperity of the city, because when there are many people outside, it will not go out, otherwise if it is seen, it will be viciously scolded, and even kicked and beaten with wooden sticks...... It can only cautiously walk the streets in the dead of night, looking for something to eat.

Every day what it eats in its mouth is so unpalatable, but it has to eat it, because if it doesn't eat, it doesn't have the strength to move, and like many wild cats and dogs that have been seen all along, it lies there and never moves again......

It doesn't know how long it has been like this, it feels that its already weak body is getting weaker and weaker, and the few wild dogs that it was able to barely beat before can't win, and it has become the weakest of all wild dogs, and it can't compete with other wild dogs anymore, it feels like it may die, maybe starve to death, maybe be beaten to death by other wild dogs......

One day, he saw a carriage in the street, and wanted to hide away, but suddenly a small round cake thrown from the carriage attracted its attention, although it was not meat, but it knew that it could be eaten.

Rushing up as fast as he could, swallowing what was actually a small pastry, it looked up and saw that the curtain had been pulled open beside the carriage, and a little boy was grinning at him.

Then it saw another food thrown out of the window, and without thinking about it, it rushed up and swallowed it in one gulp.

The little boy smiled even more.

And so it followed the wagon, eating what was thrown out of it from time to time—until, when it felt a little weak in its limbs, and could no longer keep up with the speed of the cart.

And when it came back to its senses and looked around, it was horrified to find that it was already in a strange place, with no high walls and tiles, no crowds and other wild dogs, just a vast wilderness, and it was pitch black, and it couldn't see anything clearly.

It was very scared, scared like never before, it chose a direction to move forward at a loss, walked and walked, I don't know how long, during which it was chased by a very fierce and fierce animal, and was almost cut off its head, and finally rolled down a hillside, fell into the river, and almost drowned, and finally grabbed a piece of wood and swam ashore, dragging the cold and hungry body to continue walking.

Suddenly it began to rain again, and it ran desperately in the rain, and at last it came to the foot of a mountain, and found a small hole that was almost enough for itself to get into, and it did not hesitate to burrow into it.

The rain outside flooded in, and it continued to walk inside, and it was pitch black and couldn't see anything, I don't know how long it had walked, it suddenly felt empty under its feet, and it fell directly, like a sloping cave, it rolled for a long time, and when it finally stopped, it felt that the bones in its whole body were almost falling apart.

And when it got up again, it found itself in a very large cavern, and the surrounding rock walls were actually glowing.

In the center of the cave, there is a very long stalactite hanging down from the top, and there are a little droplets of water hanging from the tip, and under it, there is a small stone platform, and there is a pit in the middle, and there is a small pool of shiny liquid in it.

It circled around, but found nothing, feeling tired and cold, hungry and thirsty, and finally it climbed up the small stone platform and licked the puddle of liquid on it, and then it felt much better.

It has never drunk such delicious water, sweet and warm, and the whole body is indescribably comfortable after drinking.

Then it fell asleep, as if it had only slept for a while, and as if it had slept for a long, long time, and when it woke up again, it found that it had gained strength again, and began to spin around in the cave again, hoping to find its way out.

After looking for it for a long, long time, when it was too tired to walk, it found that it couldn't even find the place where it had been......

It was hungry again, but there was no food here, and it was desperate, thinking that it might die here, but when it set its eyes on a glowing stone on the rock wall, a strange thought suddenly occurred in its heart, which it had never felt before......

This thing can be eaten......

After this thought appeared, it almost subconsciously walked to the side of the rock wall, stretched out its paws and gouged, and the red stone the size of an egg that was already loose fell to the ground, and it put its nose up and sniffed it, and actually smelled the 'fragrance' incredibly, and finally, it could not stand the temptation in its heart, and with a curl of its tongue, it swallowed the stone.

It felt as if it had swallowed a fire, and there was something in its stomach all at once, warm and comfortable, and most of all - not so hungry anymore.

It was pleasantly surprised to find that it could really eat stones!!

It was very happy, and felt that if it had known this earlier, it would not have had to keep grabbing garbage with those ferocious wild dogs...... But then it also discovered that it could not eat any stone, but only the kind of stone that glowed and exuded a 'fragrance'.

Its little mind didn't even think about why, it was just glad that it didn't have to starve to death, and when it was full, it had the strength to continue looking for a way out.

Finally, I don't know how long it took, one day, it heard a noise in front of it, and it seemed to be the sound of a human talking, which made it surprised and frightened, and hid behind a rock and watched quietly.

It saw that the rock wall in front of it was broken open from the other side, and then a lot of people came in, these people were very powerful, and the big stones that stood in the way they could easily push away or break them, and they seemed to be happy when they saw the glowing stones around them.

While these people were not looking, it crept into the passage where these people had entered, and ran all the way until it finally returned to the surface.

Then, it began to wander in the wilderness, it was not fierce enough to hunt, it could only look around for the kind of stone that could be eaten, although it was not easy to find, but it could barely survive, and in this way, it became a unique wild dog in the wilderness, and survived by eating 'stones'......

......

To this day, when it was looking for 'food' at the foot of a mountain as usual, suddenly a small bird flew down from the sky, and before it could figure out what was going on, the 'little bird' turned into an eagle, grabbed itself, and flew into the sky.

It was almost frightened, and kept struggling, during which the 'big bird' seemed to say something to it, but it did not hear clearly, and just as it was in great panic, it noticed the shadow of the city in front of it, and then it saw the high walls and tiles that it had not seen for a long time, and the familiar streets, and so many people......

At last the great bird flew with it into an alley, and it saw two human beings, a man and a woman......
