Trick 72 "Old Dog"
The dog of the six animals is prosperous in the world, and the family is peaceful when raising a dog. If you want to know a good dog in the world, you must distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter. Spring dogs are born with stinky bodies, and summer dogs often attract stinky flies. The autumn dog barks blindly in the night, and the winter dog is born the most elf.
Lao Li is an authentic rural person, who has been ordinary all his life and raised a pair of filial children. After the children got married, they all left the countryside, and Lao Li and his family were left in the old house.
Lao Li's wife unfortunately fell down when she was working in the field, and she couldn't afford to be sick ever since, and died not long after. Coincidentally, on the day of the burial, Lao Li, who returned alone from his wife's grave, met a stray dog, which looked a little older, and was the standard rural big yellow dog.
The yellow dog seemed to know Lao Li, followed him closely and returned home, Lao Li was in a bad mood at this time, but he still gave the yellow dog food out of good intentions. When the funeral was over and the relatives and friends were gone, the yellow dog was still squatting at the gate.
The overly sad Lao Li didn't care about it at first, but that night, he dreamed of his deceased wife. In the dream, his wife held his hand and said that this yellow dog was afraid that he would live alone and be lonely, so he came to replace her to accompany Lao Li, and don't drive him away. Lao Li, who woke up from his dream, ran to the door as soon as possible and found that the yellow dog was still hiding in place, as if he had been waiting for him.
Time flies, Lao Li is getting older and older, and the yellow dog has become an old yellow dog, one person and one dog are inseparable every day, just like two old people who accompany each other in their twilight years.
One night, Lao Li, who was sleeping, suddenly felt that something was licking himself, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw his old yellow dog lying in front of him with his tongue outstretched. As soon as Lao Li wanted to scold, he saw the old yellow dog biting Lao Li's sleeve and pulling it out, and after thinking for a while, a smell of burning things rushed to the tip of his nose, and he realized that it was on fire.
The fire was already very big, but Lao Li woke up in time, and quickly escaped with the old yellow dog, and just ran out, the road behind him was instantly engulfed by the fire dragon. Lao Li was full of cold sweat, if it weren't for the old yellow dog's reminder, I'm afraid he would never have woken up from this sleep.
The house was burned, and the children of the family rushed back as soon as possible, and after learning what had happened, they did not hesitate to pick up Lao Li and Lao Huanggou. Lao Li, who has lived in the countryside for most of his life, is very uncomfortable when he first arrives in the city, and his boring life almost suffocates him. During this time, the old yellow dog always bit Lao Li's trouser leg and pulled it out, forced to helplessly, Lao Li took the old yellow dog out, and after a long time, Lao Li and the old yellow dog would go out for a walk every day, and his mood gradually improved.
Although the old yellow dog is a dog raised by Lao Li, every time he takes it for a walk in the community, he is like a pair of old people walking around the corner. Because the old yellow dog is a dirt dog, when walking, he tries to pick a path with few people. On this day, Lao Li and the old yellow dog just turned onto a small road, and the old yellow dog, who was originally walking with his head down and concentrating, suddenly stopped and stared ahead. Lao Li followed the direction of the dog to see, it turned out that there was a snow-white dog on the side of the road not far away, Lao Li subconsciously held the dog leash, afraid that the old yellow dog would fight with the white dog, thinking about preparing to find another way.
But the old yellow dog, who is usually very spiritual, unusually did not listen to the instructions, and stubbornly stood in place motionless, Lao Li pulled the dog leash in his hand tightly, ready to forcibly pull the old yellow dog away. At this time, the white dog stood up and ran towards them with its tail wagged, and the old yellow dog, who had always been wary of being wary and withdrawn, seemed to have seen a good friend who had been reunited after a long absence, and even began to wag his tail violently to say hello.
This white dog is snow-white and clean, except for the two eyes that are black and black, the rest of the parts are white, and the body size is also comparable to the old yellow dog. The white dog walked to Lao Li two steps away and stopped, looking him up and down with two big eyes, Lao Li also let down his guard, and called the white dog over with a smile.
The white dog seemed to think for a moment, and then jumped to the old yellow dog, and the two dogs sniffed each other, and then their tails wagged faster. Lao Li simply let go of the dog leash, and the two dogs, one yellow and one white, played happily, like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years.
Lao Li was a little confused by the second monk, the old yellow dog usually didn't get close to anyone or dog except himself, but at this time, he was so happy in the face of a white dog about the same size as himself. The white dog also did not have the slightest sense of vigilance, jumping up and down, as if he had known the old yellow dog for a long time, and the two dogs had been playing like this for a long time.
The scene of the sunset, the white dog and the old yellow dog playing intimately made Lao Li a little distracted, and he didn't react until the sky was a little dark.
"Xiaobai Xiaobai, where is your home? It's so late, we should go home. ”
The white dog seemed to understand, raised his head to look at Lao Li, and then turned his head to look at a house on the side of the road. Lao Li felt a little strange in his heart, this dog owner is really bold, although it is in the community, he can let such a snow-white and clean pet dog play alone for so long, and he didn't even come out to look for it.
"Xiaobai Xiaobai, it's getting late, hurry home! We're going home, too. ”
Lao Li touched the white dog's head and said to it seriously, the white dog nodded as if he understood, sniffed the old yellow dog again, and then ran towards the house. Lao Li turned around and led the old yellow dog away, and when he turned onto the road, he couldn't help but look back again, and vaguely saw the white dog standing at the door of the room, staring at the direction they were walking, as if saying goodbye.
Since this chance encounter, the old yellow dog will lead Lao Li to that road every day when he walks, and then he will meet the white dog every time. Coincidentally, every time the white dog would play in the vicinity, and when he saw the old yellow dog, he would run over and play with the old yellow dog on the roadside grass for a while.
"Xiaobai Xiaobai, why do you stay outside every day? Did the master not want you, or did you sneak out? ”
One day, Lao Li touched the white dog's head and said to himself, the white dog's wagging tail suddenly stopped moving, staring at Lao Li with black eyes, tilting his head as if thinking about something. After a long time, a glimmer of light flashed in the white dog's eyes, and then barked twice at Lao Li, "Wangwang~".
"Haha~ Xiaobai Xiaobai, can you understand my words?"
The white dog's sudden barking made Lao Li very surprised, because the white dog in front of him looked like he could understand what he said. After getting familiar with it for a while, Lao Li was very sure that the white dog had an owner, but every time he didn't see the owner of the white dog, he once wondered if the white dog was a stray dog. Looking at the white dog in front of him who was crazy with the old yellow dog, Lao Li smiled, he looked up and found that the sky was close to dark, so he beckoned the old yellow dog to go home, and politely waved his hand at the white dog.
On this day, Lao Li took the old yellow dog to play with the white dog as usual, but this time the white dog did not wait on the side of the road as usual, but squatted at the door of the house, and saw Lao Li leading the old yellow dog to come, and ran over as if flying. The white dog suddenly pounced on Lao Li, wagging his tail desperately, Lao Li was startled by this abnormal behavior, and hurriedly squatted down to appease, and saw the white dog biting Lao Li's sleeve and pulling it to his house without saying anything.
"What's the matter, Xiaobai, do you want me to go home with you?"
Lao Li stood at the door of the white dog's house, and the strange thing was that the white dog himself did not enter the house, but just anxiously walked around the door. A bad premonition rose, thinking of the performance of his old yellow dog before, Lao Li felt more and more that something was wrong, looking at the locked big iron door of the room in front of him, Lao Li muttered. At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint movement in the house, Lao Li leaned on the door to listen carefully, and actually heard a faint cry for help.
"Is there anyone in the house? Need help? ”
Lao Li shouted and knocked on the door hard, and the cries for help in the room were obviously louder, and there were some vague words, so he couldn't hear what he was saying.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out!"
At this time, the white dog was anxious to turn around on the spot, Lao Li looked left and right, reacted immediately, and quickly dialed the mobile phone to call the police, while knocking on the door of a nearby neighbor's house for help. Soon, the police who arrived opened the door, and Lao Li and his neighbors followed the police into the house, and found an old man falling at the bathroom door, screaming in pain for help.
Everyone carried the old man into the ambulance, and in the chaos, Lao Li didn't pay attention to where the white dog went, and waited until the ambulance drove the old man away, and then he remembered to find the white dog, thinking that the owner of the white dog was taken to the hospital, and he couldn't let the white dog stay at home.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, come out quickly!"
Lao Li began to shout loudly in the house, and at this time, a neighbor who lived diagonally opposite the old man looked at him a little strangely and asked suspiciously.
"What are you looking for? Xiaobai? ”
"It's the white dog of this house, the white dog stays at the door every day, it brought me here just now, and it was still here just now, why did he run away all of a sudden."
Facing the neighbor's question, Lao Li was also a little strange, he said a lot of things in one go, and the neighbor's expression was even more strange at this moment, with question marks on his face.
"The children of this old man have all started their own families, and the old man usually lives here alone."
"Ah~ how come? Doesn't they still have a white dog, and I've been taking my dog to play with it around here every day. ”
After Lao Li finished speaking, he patted the old yellow dog's head.
"Huh? The old man has been alone all these years, and our neighbors occasionally come to take care of him, and we don't see the white dog you said. ”
"How is that possible? It was the white dog that led me to his door just now, and I heard the old man cry for help..."
Lao Li was even more puzzled, and the neighbor was obviously frightened by his words, and was stunned for a while before speaking.
"The old man had a white dog a long time ago, and he had kept it for a long time, but the dog had been dead for a long time, and it was buried on the side of the road in front of the house."
Lao Li looked down at the old yellow dog and fell into deep thought.
