Chapter 280: Redemption at a High Price

On this day, Gu Yan's family killed the dog and stewed a pot of dog meat, which was filled with red pepper, ginger, green onion and other condiments, which was fragrant. Gu's father instructed Gu Ling to make a pot of grain wine and invite seven or eight leading people in the village to come to the house to eat dog meat. Gu Qi, the village director, couldn't invite him, and when he asked why, he said he didn't eat dog meat. Father Gu thought to himself: In the past, everyone had a meal, and I saw you eating dog meat, why don't you eat it now? Father Gu is inconvenient to ask.

In the evening, he chopped two catties of the remaining dog meat over a low mountain and sent it to Gu Qi's house. Gu Qi politely asked Gu Father to sit down, and asked his wife to make tea, and then he still excused himself and said to the older Gu Father, Uncle Gu, I really don't eat dog meat.

When Gu Father saw that Gu Qi's family lived in a new house that had not been built long ago, he smiled and said, Didn't you eat dog meat when you lived in the old house before? Gu Qi replied, quit now, like someone quitting smoking.

Gu Qi's wife also came over to emphasize that our family does not eat dog meat. After finishing speaking, he squatted down and rubbed a big yellow dog half-squatting on the ground.

The big yellow dog glanced at the ancient father, although he was a living person, but seeing that he was talking to his family, he looked very harmonious, so he did not hum or bark, but meekly stretched out his soft and scarlet tongue to lick the hostess's fingers. The ancient father was carrying a knife of dog meat, and when he saw that they didn't take it, it was not good for him to go, and it was not good for him not to go, so he asked, I don't understand, why don't you eat dog meat in your family? Oh, the child eats?

The child reads, lives in school, and eats before, but now he doesn't eat. Gu Qi said, still shaking his head, reflecting the lights, looking mysterious.

Director Gu, it's because you have a dog that you don't eat dog meat. Father Gu guessed and put the dog meat he was carrying on his table.

You can leave it for a while and then take it away! You're right, the fact that our family doesn't eat dog meat is related to dog ownership, and it's not all for this reason. Sit down and listen to me tell you slowly. This is a true story that happened right in our home. He pointed to the yellow dog lying in the house and said that it had happened to him.

Three years ago, the Guqi family still lived in an old house left by the ancestors on the mountainside, with a separate courtyard, and there was no one at home. Because the big yellow dog has a lot of white hair on its skull, the family nicknames it White Flower.

Baihua is very human, and even a little snobbish like people, seeing brightly dressed people walking by in front of the door, even if it is a living person, it never barks; If a man in a tattered shirt walked past the door, it would bark and even bite until the family scolded it and then snorted away.

Of course, if there is no one in the ancient banner family, whether outsiders are dressed well or poorly, if they enter the yard and move things, Baihua will take out the nature of the dog to protect the family with the utmost duty to bark loudly as a warning, if you don't leave, then it will be bitten.

That time, there was an accident, a man from the next village was bitten by a yellow dog at the door of Guqi's house, and then went to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine, and then pulled the skin and asked Guqi's family to pay for the medical expenses.

Gu Qi was annoyed, and in a fit of anger, he took the family's yellow dog to the dog meat shop on the street to sell it for money to pay for the medical expenses he should pay for the man's treatment, which was obviously not enough.

He secretly thought: never keep a dog again, so as not to get into trouble. The next day, Gu Qi had something to do on the street, and when he passed by the door of the dog meat shop, he suddenly heard the familiar dog barking.

He followed the sound and saw that it was his own yellow dog that he brought yesterday that was still locked in an iron cage and not killed. At this moment, when the yellow dog saw him, he did not bark again, but kept wagging his tail at him, and looked at him with tears in his eyes. As if to say, master, you save me quickly, it's still a little longer or tomorrow, the owner of the dog meat shop will kill me to cook and serve customers, I beg you! Master, save my life!

Gu Qi hesitated for a moment, but his heart hardened and left. When he returned home, Gu Qi was still uneasy, and the shadow of the yellow dog wagging his tail and pleading with him in tears always appeared in his mind.

He was a little tired, and slowly fell asleep, and dreamed of the yellow dog, and he could talk. It said, "Master, save me!" If I don't save it, I won't be able to save it if it's a day late, and tomorrow the owner of the dog meat shop will slaughter me and entertain guests.

Gu Qi said, Bai Hua, you are usually quite well-behaved, I didn't want to sell you, but you shouldn't bite someone, bite someone and get a rabies vaccine shot, all the medical expenses have to be paid by my Gu Qi, the guardian of the dog, do you say it's annoying? Otherwise, I'll just sell you?

The yellow dog said with tears in his eyes, "Master! You don't know, I don't bite people easily, just because that man took advantage of the fact that there was no one in your house, came to the yard, first aimed at the frown, and then took out the tool from his body to twist the door lock, I bit him. Otherwise, your home will be burglarized.

Gu Qi asked, is there such a thing? The yellow dog said, "If you don't believe me, when you wake up, you can see the door lock, and the mark of the pliers, and a piece of paint has fallen off it."

Gu Qi said, if I take the money to redeem you this time, you will guard the door in the future, and don't bite the bad guy when you see him, you can keep screaming, and when you call, the bad guy will be afraid of attracting the attention of passers-by and being discovered, so he will naturally give up and run away.

The yellow dog nodded and said that as long as the owner redeemed me from the dog meat shop, I would never bite again. Gu Qi said, since this is the case, I will definitely redeem you. The yellow dog said again, it is difficult for you to redeem me from the dog meat shop again, I don't know if you are willing or not?

Gu Qi asked again, what's the difficulty, isn't it just to pay? The yellow dog told him that you would have to pay double the price for redeeming me than you would have for selling me. In other words, if you betray me, the shopkeeper only gave you 800 yuan, and if you want to redeem the shopkeeper, you have to pay 1,600 yuan, and if you don't pay that much, the shopkeeper will never agree to let you buy me back.

When Gu Qi was in trouble, he woke up, he first came to the front door to see, the lock on the door did have traces of pliers, but it was not obvious, and the corner of the lock did fall a small piece of paint, which is often easy to ignore if you don't look carefully.

Seeing this phenomenon, and thinking of what the yellow dog said in a dream, Gu Qi regretted that he had wrongly blamed it, he shouldn't have sold it, and now he wants to redeem the yellow dog? has to pay double the price, not to mention, the man who was bitten by the dog was supposed to be a bad guy who should have been bitten by a dog, but there was no word bad on his forehead.

The dog knew in his heart that he was a bad person, so he bit him, but not in a dream, and the dog could not speak, even if a miracle could speak, who could believe what the beast said? Even if there is a lawsuit and the yellow dog testifies in court, the court will not accept it.

Gu Qi is very entangled, if he takes so much money to redeem the yellow dog, he will suffer a loss, and the loss is quite big. He told his wife what he thought, but unexpectedly, his wife said, since this is the case, you must take money to redeem the dog, the dog is spiritual, and if it dreams that you don't save it, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous.

Although Gu Qi frowned and was unhappy, he still relied on his wife's. He came to the dog meat shop that day, and the yellow dog had not yet been slaughtered, still curled up in the cage, and kept wagging his tail when he saw the ancient flag.

Gu Qi said a white flower, which was a gesture to it. He immediately found the shopkeeper and said that he wanted to redeem the yellow dog, and sure enough, as the yellow dog Tuomeng said, the shopkeeper gave him double the price when he sold the yellow dog, and the shopkeeper didn't want to sell it yet, saying that he had made an appointment to kill and cook the fat yellow dog tomorrow to entertain valuable guests. In desperation, Gu Qi had to pay 1,600 yuan and asked the shopkeeper to open the iron cage and release the yellow dog to go home with him.
