132 The Past
Chen Wengang slept until morning, and his surroundings were empty, with no trace of people and dogs.
He rubbed his eyes and went downstairs, and saw Huo Niansheng move a low shoe stool, sit next to the food basin, put his hands on his knees, and watch Harley bury his head in the basin to eat. He watched intently, Chen Wengang breathed a sigh of relief, and also walked over and squatted down next to him to watch together.
Huo Niansheng smiled and said "Morning".
Chen Wengang squatted on his legs, sat down on the carpet, and rested his head on Huo Niansheng's knees.
Huo Niansheng used his calf as a backrest, rubbed his hair, and Chen Wengang covered his mouth and yawned.
Halley paused sensitively, looking up curiously to see what he was doing. Chen Wengang laughed and said, "You want to see everything." Huo Niansheng also laughed, scratching its head, and then it lowered its head again, and licked the food bowl clean under the gaze of the two people.
Xiaoping is still dutifully making small reports.
Mr. Chan brushed Harley aside with a brush and brushed off a lot of floating hairs from beginning to end; Mr. Chen got up two hours early and played frisbee with his dog in the garden after eating. Mr. Chen went to the kitchen, he seemed to want to cook for Harley himself, and stewed a pot, but the things that came out seemed to be okay, and Harley licked the basin cleanly anyway...... Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen......
This girl is very clever, and relying on these, she exchanged a lot of red envelopes from her employer.
Pet healing is not a new topic, and the doctor also gave a positive attitude to it during the follow-up visit. The doctor came up with a bunch of academic evidence, such as scientific studies showing that when a person pets a pet, blood pressure will be significantly reduced. Feeding pets also increases a person's sense of worth, diluting thoughts that they feel worthless and want to disappear...... Even if he doesn't need to talk about it, it is obvious to all that Chen Wengang has gradually shown a high degree of dependence on his dog, and he has to stick together when he eats and sleeps, and he is reluctant to let go.
He was still on antidepressant and anti-anxiety medications, and the glass cover still cut him off from the outside world. Although he couldn't break it and get out, Harley's paws on his chest, his head on his knees, and his mouth in his hands begging for snacks made him seem to regain hold and touch something in the long hours of his life.
Harley didn't know anything about it, and it never thought about what it meant to its owner.
He just likes to be next to Chen Wengang, nibbling on his beloved chewing gum and toys, and needs him truly and unreservedly.
If Chen Wengang doesn't feed it, it will starve, and if Chen Wengang doesn't play with it, it will be bored.
No matter which room Chen Wengang hid in alone, for two hours at most, Harley could always sniff the smell and find him, it snapped and flicked its tail, to touch and hug, if Chen Wengang didn't sleep in the middle of the night, Harley would yawn and lie next to him, so sleepy that his eyes were closed.
It needed him, he needed it, it didn't matter what was more, what mattered was that they became a symbiote.
A large dog like Demu needs enough exercise every day, and the older Harley gets, the more energy he has to vent. It was often torn between Chen Wengang's arms and outdoor fun, and it learned to express this dilemma by taking its own dog leash and eagerly stuffing it into his hand. It always ends with Chen Wengang compromising and bringing toys to accompany him outside. The villa is big enough and the whole courtyard is its playground. It can run as wild, roll in holly walls, and jump into fountain pools for swimming.
This is not enough, it is still waiting for Huo Nian to be born, because Huo Nian is born and will take it to the back mountain to play frisbee.
The place was bigger, the mountains were all over the place, and at the end of the day, it could exhaust itself to the point of paralysis.
But no matter where he is, Chen Wengang whistles, and it will run back upside down and appear in front of him.
The puppy grew up really fast, but after two months of hard work, Harley's size has made a qualitative leap.
Its sharp points slowly stand up, between a big dog and a small dog, and its body has a majestic rudiment, but it is not too good at playing majestic, with a gentle temper, and never barks and barks at people.
In July, the fire flowed, and the heat had not completely dissipated, so Huo Niansheng took it to play in the stream in the back mountain.
Chen Wengang followed, walking on the mountain road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Harley was mad with joy at the sight of the water, and jumped down with a thud, and the stream overflowed its belly, and it swam around with all its might.
Chen Wengang sat on the stone, he took off his shoes and socks, and soaked his feet in the water, the stream was cold and refreshing.
At this time, he didn't know what Huo Niansheng was thinking about sitting next to him. Huo Niansheng plucked a few dog's tail grasses, braided a ring, and put it on his little finger. Chen Wengang took it down casually, and heard him discuss it with him, saying that he wanted to send Harley to receive more professional training.
Huo Niansheng's appeal is very clear, he has been aiming to train it into a guard dog from the beginning.
Chen Wengang's first reaction was reluctance, and he realized that sending it away would mean a year and a half of separation.
Huo Niansheng looked at Chen Wengang, Chen Wengang pursed his lips and looked back at him for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in fact, his mind was blank for a long time. He couldn't find a reason to oppose it - Harley was originally brought back by Huo Niansheng, and it was also his idea to raise it.
Chen Wengang subconsciously has always tacitly acquiesced that Huo Niansheng is the serious master of Harley. So, whatever he says is what it is.
Huo Niansheng seemed to see
Through his mind, he was not very tough, and in the end he still said that Chen Wengang was moved, he said that the instinct of working dogs has the need for work, they have their own value to realize, and Harley may not like to live a life of only playing with toys every day.
Chen Wengang nodded yes, so he quickly set a date.
He stood at the door, Huo Niansheng took Harley away.
The side was empty, so that Chen Wengang suddenly did not adapt, tea and rice did not think, fortunately, after two months, the peak turned around, and one day suddenly even the dog and the person came back - a jeep drove into the yard, and the one who got out of the car was a middle-aged man with dark skin, strong muscles, strong arms, with a few flesh-pink scars, and some foreign accents in his speech. He said he was a retired military dog handler.
Opening the trunk, Harley swooped down, flicked his tail enthusiastically, and pounced on Chen Wengang at the door.
In order to let Harley get along with other similar kinds, he lived in the dog training base for two months, and he got along almost well, and Huo Niansheng spent a lot of money to invite the trainer back. The trainer lived in the villa for a year, and the training location was in the back mountain.
He instructed the workers to pull up barbed wire fences and erect ladders and broken bridges in the back mountains.
When everyone was busy, Chen Wengang went to the scene to watch.
While hammering nails, the trainer talked about his previous life in the army. He trained many military dogs, like his children and like his students. There was a black back who retired in the same year as him, and he reported to his superiors several times,
I got my wish and brought it home.
They did have a happy few years, the people were satisfied, and the dogs were satisfied, but unfortunately it died last year.
It's a bit of a sad story, but there's nothing too much to regret.
Harley really likes to go to class, he is very excited, he has good physical fitness, and he can climb high and low.
Chen Wengang has nothing to do every day, he is like a parent, watching the training on the sidelines, and he has not missed a single class.
Huo Niansheng seems to have cultivated new hobbies for himself, he may not be free to attend every day, but on the whole, he is still deeply involved in the training process, the trainer needs assistants, he is very cooperative, and the two of them can talk very well.
Creeping forward and flipping over the board, these are quick to master Harley, and its only weakness is its fear of fire.
When crossing the fire barrier, the trainer lit the fire ring, and it spun in place, not daring to jump no matter how much encouragement was given.
In the end, Chen Wengang was pulled over and stood here. He couldn't bear it: "Forget it, don't learn." ”
Unexpectedly, when Harley heard his voice, he shook his head and shook his fur a few times, Huo Niansheng suddenly shouted "Go", and it ran all at once. It ran faster and faster, stretched its body, rose in the air, jumped over the circle of fire licked by the flames, and ran towards Chen Wengang.
It leaned its head on his thigh and rubbed it around, and Chen Wengang held it with red eyes.
The rest of the day was also interrupted, Huo Niansheng simply said that he would be here today, and the trainer was well-informed, and he didn't seem to think it was strange. He quickly packed up his things and didn't forget to compliment Harley for his progress before leaving.
Chen Wengang patted Huo Niansheng twice and stained his tears on his clothes.
In the end, he couldn't say why he was crying, his heart seemed to have become very tired and empty, but something heavy had weighed him down, he had to be washed away, he had to vent it.
Huo Niansheng just hugged him as if he understood: "Cry, cry." ”
Harley stood by for a moment, looking up at them. Then it lay down on one leg after another, pressed against Chen Wengang's feet, and sniffed his trouser legs.
Later in training, Harley also learned to pounce and fight. This is the first time that its ferocity has been unrestrained.
Chen Wengang recorded a video, which was later widely circulated among the staff in the villa, and basically everyone enjoyed it, and they were amazed - in the picture, Huo Niansheng changed into camouflage uniforms, and he led Harley to the venue. The trainer in the protective suit twitched the whip and deliberately provoked, completely devoid of the harmless face of humans and animals, revealing sharp fangs and a menacing roar. Huo Niansheng patted it, lowered his head and shouted "attack", it swooped up like an arrow off the string, biting the trainer's arm wearing protective gear.
The trainer shook his arm and struck it with great force, but it clung to it until it threw the person to the ground.
By the end of the lesson, the instructor was out of breath and sweating. He didn't care, took off his protective gear, beckoned, and motioned for the camera to come over a little. He proudly showed his arm to the camera, and even with protective gear, the skin underneath was bloodied.
Faced with the trainer who had taken off his protective suit, Harley became friendly to him again, wagging his tail excitedly.
The trainer laughed and took a snack out of his pocket to feed it.
He talked eloquently again, telling Huo Niansheng about his previous life in the army, and now, there are comrades-in-arms who call to ask for dog skills. His eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said that people still can't go to the training ground, otherwise they will be unfamiliar immediately after two or three months of idleness.
After a year of training, Harley wagged his tail at the door of the villa and said goodbye to him.
It's really a big dog full of intimidation now, and it's forbidden, like a sharp soldier ready to guard something!
