Chapter 54: Domesticating Mountain Dogs
[There may only be two shifts today.] 】
"There is only a mother in the world, and a child with a mother is like a treasure," Zhang Zhaohua sat on the threshold with her little greyhound in her arms, watching the sun gradually hidden behind the huge shadow of Meishan shine on the last rays ......of the day.
After returning from the Hakka family, Zhang Zhaohua has been looking for evidence that he picked up at home. For example, the blood book has the mystery of his life history written on it. Or a jade pendant, with a word engraved on it, or simply only half, when you recognize your relatives in the future, you can confirm it by pairing the two halves together. It is also possible to wrap a piece of paper in a piece of cloth or handkerchief with your birth date, name, and perhaps the name of your biological parents. Or maybe it's a baby's clothes with words embroidered on it......
All the possibilities seen from the TV series, Zhang Zhaohua has investigated them one by one, but maybe the biological parents are too poor, and these things are not available, and they may be thrown away by Zhang Youping and his family. It's disgusting.
Every child may experience the mystery of their origins. Those young fathers and mothers, do you know that a random sentence will bring so much confusion to the baby?
After the last incident, the mute began to talk to Zhang Zhaohua behind his parents' back. At this time, I don't know where to slip out.
"It's called Flower, I brought a delicious meal for your greyhound. As soon as the dumb man came, he asked Zhang Zhaohua for credit.
"What's delicious? is there anything delicious at your house?" Zhang Zhaohua didn't believe it at all.
"Why not, the last time the yellow skin scourged my chickens and ducks, my mother pickled them all and put them in the jar. I now have meat to eat every day. I've brought a bone to your greyhound. The dumb man took a bone out of his pocket and threw it on the ground, and the little greyhound immediately pounced on it and took the bone in his mouth.
Goo. Zhang Zhaohua swallowed a mouthful of saliva. When I came back from my Hakka house, I haven't eaten a single meal of meat. As soon as I saw a chicken bone, I wanted to rush up and snatch it from the little greyhound's mouth.
"It's called Hua, is this dog of yours really a mountain dog?" asked the dumb man stammering again.
Zhang Zhaohua was very dissatisfied with the dumb man's attitude, "Definitely." ”
"Chen Santu's dog is the mountain dog. Able to go to the mountains and catch rabbits. I heard Chen Santu say that their family eats meat every day. The mute also had a look of envy for the days when there was meat to eat every day.
Zhang Zhaohua looked at his dog, which often stuck to his mouth when he ate food, and still carried it to catch hares? Zhang Zhaohua leaned weakly against the door frame and sighed.
"When my dog grows up, my family will be able to eat meat every day. "Zhang is called Hua Zhi, and he is not small.
"I don't believe it. "The dumb man is a child who talks about reason, and he doesn't even know how to perform this compliment without money.
"Go, go, go. My chickens and ducks are going to be put into the cage, and they don't dare to come in if you are here. Zhang Zhaohua was very unhappy to drive people away.
"Why don't they dare come in when I'm here?"
"You've been marked with yellow skin, and there's a smell on your body. When the chickens and ducks smell your smell, they still think that the yellow skins are here? Do you say they dare to come in?" Zhang Zhaohua reasoned and drove away the dumb man with a depressed and suspicious face.
The little greyhound lay on the ground and gnawed on the chicken bone with relish, the meat on it had already been gnawed clean by the dumb man, and the little greyhound's teeth couldn't help the bone at all, but the taste of the bone made it reluctant to give up at all. Even in a hundred and twenty positions, I couldn't put my tongue in the gap between my bones, and I was so anxious that I died.
Zhang Zhaohua snatched the bone from the little greyhound's mouth, "You can eat a bone with relish if you don't have any interest." ”
Zhang Zhaohua found a stone, looked hard at the ground of the bone house, smashed the bone, and the bone marrow inside popped out, and the little greyhound happily pounced on it and licked the bone marrow fragments scattered on the ground.
Zhang Zhaohua looked at the little greyhound with his eyes, and remembered some things in his dream.
Hunting is also an important part of the daily life of the Meishan Painter, who has lived in the mountains and lived with wild beasts for thousands of years. Both men and beasts have to fight for their own survival. Meishan Shuishi has a set of hunting techniques.
The hound is the most advantageous assistant of the sailor for hunting. There are twenty-four mountain sweeping dogs in the magic of Meishan Shuishi, "four flowers, four blacks, nine yellows and seven whites". Zhang Wulang, the patriarch of Meishan, hunted, as long as 24 mountain sweeping dogs were released, any tigers, leopards, and muntjacs, they would be frightened and flee in panic.
A good mountain dog is good at running, good at shuttling in the dense forest, has a keen sense of smell, is good at roaring, and after entering the mountain, the sound shakes the mountains and rivers, and the mountains respond. Naturally, the beast can be frightened and honestly skewer out of the nest.
Meishan Shuishi has his own skill of dogs, and he has a choice of the color of the hunting dog, one yellow, two black, three hemp and four white. Yellow is the best, followed by black. The hemp color like the little greyhound is already a very poor color. But Zhang Zhaohua had no choice. It's nice to have a hemp one. Zhang Zhaohua took a fancy to the shape of this little greyhound. The hunting proverb of the Meishan Landscape Master says: "The eyes are like copper bells, the ears are like forks, the tail of the file is a card at the waist, the four feet fall to the ground like Zhaiba, and the beast is the enemy when you see it." ”
After choosing a puppy, Meishan Shui Master must be carefully trained to be able to raise a real mountain dog. It's a pity that these conditions can't be met by Zhang Zhaohua. So he especially wanted to go into the mountains and hunt some prey to raise the puppy to become a real mountain dog.
Zhang Zhaohua remembered that he got a pheasant in the mountains that day, maybe he was lucky and could get one back.
In the past few days, I went to Hakka's house, and Zhang Zhaohua spent another week happily. The primary schools in the countryside are not strict about attendance, Zhang Zhaohua didn't go to school, and Gong Ziyuan just asked casually. The dumb sentence "He went to his Hakka house" is over. By the time Zhang Zhaohua came back, it was already a pleasant Sunday again. So, I still don't have to go to school the next day.
After breakfast, Zhang Zhaohua picked up a bamboo basket, took a firewood knife, and said to his mother, "Mother, I'll go to the mountains to collect firewood." ”
It is the most common thing for children to collect firewood, and it is rare for cubs to take such initiative, so Liu Qiaoye naturally agreed very happily.
Zhang Zhaohua happily sang "Only my mother is good in the world" and drove to Meishan. The little greyhound jumped up and down behind Zhang Zhaohua.
Liu Qiaoye heard Zhang Zhaohua's singing, and the faster she was in the mood, she didn't expect that Zhang Zhaohua was thinking about his non-existent "biological mother".
As soon as he entered Meishan, Zhang Zhaohua saw that there was no one around, so he took out some sacrificial items such as paper money and incense from the bamboo basket.
"The disciple went out and invited the second master of the ancestors, and the body of my body was transformed into my body, and my body was not transformed into an extraordinary body, but turned into a positive body of Santong Meishan...... I am as anxious as the law!"
