After going down to the detachment, the days were dull.

The military dog detachment is the deepest part of the mountain of our unit, and the reason why the terrain is remote is for the prevention of infectious diseases and the need for training, the whole team has less than 30 people, and the environment is also very old, an old building in the 80s.

When I first arrived here, I regretted it a little, it was too remote and there were few people, and I usually didn't even have anyone to talk to.

When I was assigned to the training class, I was assigned to the training class as the deputy class leader, because the two pregnant have not yet given birth, so there is no puppy of their own for a while, and I usually follow a few old class leaders to familiarize themselves with the environment.

The military dog detachment has more than 40 military dogs and 6 auxiliary training dogs. In addition to breeding dogs and retired military dogs with military achievements, there are less than 20 military dogs still in service, all German shepherds, which are commonly referred to as "black backs".

The breed of military dogs is very pure, and the bloodline is also very pure. Two breeding dogs and five female dogs, all of which are purebred imported from Germany, they are specifically responsible for breeding, and usually do not participate in training, and the food cost is eighteen yuan and five yuan a day, while our food cost at that time was only five yuan and four yuan a day.

With the deepening of understanding, I gradually have a clear understanding of military dogs, German Shepherds have good obedience, high IQ, body size and sense of smell are in the upper middle, suitable for patrolling, guarding, border defense, search and rescue, attack is also strong, adult intelligent dogs can reach the IQ of five-year-old children, and loyalty, do not eat the master.

In order to maintain the non-outflow of military dog blood, as well as the needs of a special service environment. In addition, the dog's mood during estrus is unstable, so every service dog is castrated, regardless of male or female!

So sometimes when you have dog dealers or dog sellers, they brag that my dog is from the army, hehe, that's all bragging. The service period of authentic military dogs is from the second year to the sixth year of birth, only four years, and those who have military merits can delay the retirement period, and after retirement, if they do not have military merits, they will be euthanized. This has always worried me a lot, but fortunately, military dogs can basically make a little contribution when they serve. to live out his old age in peace. Therefore, euthanasia is only a rule, and it has never been practiced in our detachment.

In addition, each dog is marked with an ear number after birth, compiled into a file, and the pedigree is traced back to three generations, that is, from the generation of grandparents and grandmothers.

The names of military dogs are not random either. For example, a breeding female dog is called "Zhonghua". Her descendants must have "Hua" in the first word of their name. The name of the military dog is generally unknown to outsiders except for insiders, and the dog trainer will not tell others the name of the dog casually. Because you know the name of the military dog and call its name, its vigilance will be reduced, and it will not take the initiative to attack you!

On the days when there were no dogs, I helped cook for the dogs in the breeding class, and that time was the most depressing time for me, if I went home, my family asked me what I did in the army, and if I talked about feeding the dogs in the special forces?

Fortunately, King Kong Cannon did not forget me, a comrade-in-arms who had been sweeping the pigsty with him for half a year, and came to chat with me every once in a while.

At first, I really moved this guy, but later I realized that this guy came to see me regularly. Every Tuesday and Friday night, he came in at noon. And these two days are the days of our detachment to stew bones, our detachment of dogs twice a day, ten o'clock in the morning, four o'clock in the afternoon, each time eight taels of feed, soaked in bone broth. Every week the secretary would go to the market to buy bones for the dogs, and each time the bones of four whole pigs would come for the meat bones.

It's been a long time, and this guy is embarrassed to eat for nothing, and the number of times he comes is obviously less than before.

"Old Yu, give you a good thing. One night, the King Kong cannon came again, and mysteriously pulled out a newspaper bag.

"What?" I paused, adding wood to the stove.

"Ginseng fruit. "King Kong Cannon opened the newspaper. Inside the newspaper is a wrist-thick plant rhizome, more than 20 centimeters long, the shape of the rhizome resembles a human shape, the eyebrows, eyes and limbs are complete, and the more exaggerated is that there is a small **, but unfortunately the leg to the knee is broken.

"Where did you come from?" I said, holding out my hand and scrutinizing it.

"When I was inspecting the power grid some time ago, I saw that half of it was washed out by the rain, and it didn't come out completely, and it broke a piece. King Kong replied.

"It's not ginseng fruit, it's a bit like He Shou Wu. I looked at the rhizome in my hand. Grandpa is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and I also have a certain understanding of medicinal materials, this rhizome is very similar to He Shou Wu, but it is surprisingly large.

"Put it in the pot and stew it together, maybe you can live forever after eating it. King Kong Cannon looked at the cauldron that was already bubbling with the smell of meat.

"The ginseng fruit grows on the slippery tree, and you dig it in the dark and autumn, and even if it is, you have a broken leg for this thing, so you have to dig out a piece of the leg and eat it." Actually, I don't think this thing can live forever after eating it, and the reason why he asked him to dig up the remaining half is also out of curiosity, and I want to go over and see what is going on.

"Okay, it's Saturday tomorrow, I'll take you to see it!" King Kong Cannon grabbed a leg bone and gagged it.

Originally, it was also a momentary curiosity, but who knew that going with King Kong Cannon completely changed the trajectory of his life, and also made his materialist worldview strongly shaken!
