Chapter 18: Cloud Shadow in December 1993
Cloud Shadow in December 1993
My relationship with the big dog is really good, and the big dog really doesn’t consider himself an “outsider” or a “foreign dog”. It obviously has its own simple kennel next to the old man’s house, but it is still very thick when it is close to giving birth. Lived in my cabin shamelessly, and of course gave birth to two puppies in my cabin.
This is the first time I've been this big to deliver a dog, and my heart melts when I see the red cub in the grass nest who can't open his eyes.
The big dog can't understand human words, otherwise I really want to ask who the dog's father is, how can he be so irresponsible and let her go back to the village to give birth to the child.
Sufficient nutrition allows the big dog to have enough milk and water. The two puppies can eat and sleep. They are almost the same size every day. On the tenth day, they opened their eyes one after another, and crawled around their mother in the haystack with tender barking.
After my clean hut was used as a maternity and nursery room, the smell was bad enough, but I didn't dislike it. The snow outside is now more than a meter thick, and I can't imagine how the big dog is in that kennel that has been completely buried. Having a puppy, taking care of a puppy here is the best choice.
When I passed through Shimen last time, I brought a lot of things here. This year, I am more courageous than last year. I brought enough coal and half a box of milk powder. Now we drink goat milk powder. It is said that it is not good for dogs to drink milk powder. Although the big dog has been drinking milk powder and has not seen any problems, I still changed it to be conservative.
The small half box of goat milk powder is not only enough for the big dog and myself, but also for the widow's two children. Now they are eating and drinking on my side. The widow has turned one eye and closed one eye and pretended not to know. It seems that her son and daughter eat me because she takes advantage of me, and she is even complacent about it, but I don't mind being taken advantage of by her.
According to the villagers, the widow went to Luhe Village and made a deal with the people there. Next year or the year after at the latest, she will sell her son and daughter to an unknown manor as servants and maids. After getting the money, he can go to Luhe Village or even the town to remarry and live a more decent life.
The widow's son and daughter didn't know they were going to be sold. I took care of them both because I sympathized with them and because I was thinking about buying them from the widow, I don't know that I don't know where the manor is called, but I think it would be better for them to follow me than elsewhere. At least I won't bully them. I will ensure their safety and keep them fed and clothed.
The big dog gave birth to two puppies, a male and a female. The two little guys are very strong. In less than a month, they have dared to follow the big dog who can't be idle to drill outside the house. Fortunately, it is a trench under the snow and ice. , almost unaffected by cold wind, otherwise I really don't worry about them going out.
The two puppies, like little pom-poms, followed their mother and patrolled along the snow moat. They were so cute and attentive. I had told the big dog many times that I wanted to keep one. Raise it by myself, if it wasn't for the big dog who couldn't understand me and kept silent, I really wanted to make my own decisions.
Among the two puppies of the big dog, the little bitch is a little bigger than the little male dog, has a more lively personality and is more courageous. I suspect that this is related to the fact that the big dog is more "female than male". When feeding the big dog, it is often the first Let the daughter have enough to eat, and the son is so anxious that he doesn't pay attention to it, and does not allow the son to come forward until the daughter is full.
I really don't understand, you have so much sex, what's the matter with the two of them eating together? You have enough nutrition and milk, and the two puppies can't finish it. Why do you have to treat them differently?
Seeing that the little male dog was wronged, I gave the male dog extra food and goat milk powder. The little female dog smelled the fragrance and asked me not to give it, so she was so anxious that she barked at me and barked with her milk teeth.
The snow is still falling outside, and the big dog is taking the child out on patrol as usual. It seems that he is teaching his own child, and the focus is obviously on his daughter. When her daughter is on patrol, she will be reprimanded for falling behind, but her son will follow behind. Or rolling in the snowdrifts she doesn't care.
I don't understand, it's just that people are biased, how can even dogs be biased? Aren't you both born? Is it difficult to level a bowl of water?
I have a lot of theories with the big dog on this matter, and I have repeatedly hoped that the big dog can treat the big dog equally, and don't always favor the little bitch.
But... to be honest, I have to admit that I know my son Mo Ruomu, the big dog still knows his son better than me, and his daughter is indeed much smarter and more independent than his son.
For a month and a half, the little bitch had already slept alone in a grass den, and the little male dog was still humming and burrowing into his mother's arms all day long. Knowing that it is not conducive to cultivating its independent character, he still couldn't help holding it to sleep, and as a result, it couldn't even fall asleep without being held, and it was very squeamish.
And what drives me crazy is that the little bitch is not only bigger, but also has more brains than the male dog. When they first started to grow their teeth, they always wanted to bite something. I was afraid that my clothes and furniture would be bitten, so I took some The wooden stick gave the two puppies to grind their teeth, and even brought them a big bone when they passed the stone gate. The two little guys had a great time chewing on them. .
The little male dog... is really a cowardly dog. He sleeps in my arms every night, and during the day as long as I don't pay attention, he will cause trouble for me.
The wooden stick also bites the bones and bites, but as long as I see other things, I want to bite. My tattered socks have been repaired many times, and they are too fragile. They are tortured and completely scrapped. I really can’t repair them and have to use them myself It's all his credit for sewing socks with cloth pieces. As long as I don't look at him, my wooden spoon and wooden bowl are covered with tooth marks. When I ask him about it, he looks pitiful with his tail tucked. People can't laugh or cry.
"It's all yours, how can there be such a thing?" When I woke up, I found a big hole in the trouser leg and the dog's head was still in it. I didn't even have the energy to get angry, so I could only ask the big dog, if it wasn't for this grandson It was delivered by my own hands, and I didn't believe it would be a big dog.
"Look at your mother, look at your sister, look at you again..." I shook my head again and again.
The little male dog squatted in the corner with his ears drooping, and I, along with his mother and sister, squinted at him like an irretrievable piece of wood.
Looking old at the age of three, it took me three months to see that this was a stupid dog. Seeing that the snow trenches were dug through, his mother took his sister to patrol the village all day long and was praised by all kinds of things. ? Just follow behind my butt, smell my hand at any time to see if there is something delicious, or look at me and look at the place where I hide something delicious, with eyes to indicate that it is time for breakfast/midnight/dinner, Hurry up and feed it delicious food.
It's sister is like a big dog. I take care of it, and I can hold it in my arms to smooth the hair, but when the time comes, she will struggle to go out to patrol with her mother. She is very self-disciplined. Da Da, reluctantly follow behind, tucked his tail slowly, sometimes even pretending to be sick or lame and not wanting to go out.
I originally wanted to pick one of my siblings to keep for myself, but I had no choice but to see the situation. Her sister was destined to be the new security captain in the village, and I just happened to take care of this useless piece of firewood.
In the real world, the widow's house collapsed before the Spring Festival. Since her husband died, she has not repaired the roof even once for three consecutive years. It is a miracle that her roof can last for so long. The widow cried and asked other people in the village to take in their family of three , but who is willing to take them in? Not to mention that there are no spare rooms in other people's houses. Even if there are, it is easy to ask God to send him off. What if the widow cannot come to the time with the child?
Desperate, the widow came to me with two children and cried poor, but I also told her, my den is just a little big, and there are three dogs living there, I can barely take her two children, but she is an adult I am There is absolutely no way.
Seeing that I could take in two children, the widow was very happy, but she couldn't help but scolded me for charging her for "food" and thought I was mean.
I don't care what she scolds, and I'm not a shantang. It's okay to give her son and daughter a meal occasionally, but now she lives here and eats mine every time. How can I have so many ginseng potatoes?
All in all, regardless of the widow's objection, I dug out two big bags of ginseng potato from the collapsed ruins of her house and took it back. The widow was so angry that she screamed, and if no one stopped me, I would try my best.
The widow didn't try my best. After all, after I took in her son and daughter, it was easier for her to find someone else to take her in. When she calmed down a little, I even discussed with her about her son and daughter, and I told her She can consider not selling her son and daughter to others, but to me, and I pay her a lot of ginseng potato and other things every year until Liangqing.
The widow was surprised I knew she was going to sell her two children, but scoffed at me buying her son and daughter, she didn't believe I could have so many ginseng potatoes for her, and she was told that the two children were sold to the manor She will have a good life in the future, and maybe she can take the opportunity to live a good life in the future, which is much better than following me, a kid who only knows how to farm.
It's not unexpected that the talk collapsed.
Since she doesn't know what's good or bad, don't blame me for kidnapping her son and daughter to run away, leaving her with no money and money.
Of course, the premise is that my wings can grow hard next year and have the capital to run.
I really didn't expect the widow to be taken in by the man whose wife died at the beginning of the year. You must know that in the past, the man looked down on the widow very much. He and his wife spoke ill of the widow in public, but at this time He actually showed a gentleman's demeanor, and it was a good thing that he was willing to take in a lonely woman.
The widow was also overjoyed. The man's family conditions are quite good in the village. He went to Luhe Village three times this year to exchange a lot of materials. He originally wanted to ask for another wife, but he couldn't find a suitable one. The long winter made him The loneliness was unbearable, and at this time, the widow also looked beautiful.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows what happens when a single man and a widow live in the same house, but there is no such thing as an ancient saying in another world in this village, so the villagers just use it as an after-dinner talk. The widow's son and daughter are still ignorant, they don't know that the man might be their new father.
I can be regarded as a person with a sense of presence in the village now. It can be said that no one does not know me. After all, I am the only person in the village who really owns a dog. I named my dog "A Fu".
Da Gou and Da Gou's daughter belong to the default "common property" of the village. They are an important force to protect the safety of the entire village and do not belong to anyone, but "A Fu" is different. It is an unreliable "silly dog". No one in the village would dare to hand over the patrol work of the village to him when they saw the stupid appearance of A Fu, so it is the common wish of everyone to keep me from harming the village.
The appetite of dogs is not small, especially the big dog family. It is not far from the appetite of an adult. Under normal circumstances, a waste dog like A Fu will be driven out of the village before the water in the Kaichun River thaws, and go to the wilderness to find a way to survive. , It's fine now, I'll take care of you, everyone can rest assured.
From the point of view of patrolling, Ah Fu is a waste dog, but it does not mean that other people in the village are not envious, especially children. Being able to hug or touch Ah Fu's head is a happiness they can't even imagine.
The food is good, and Ah Fu has a big head. Every time I see its big claws, I think of myself. Ah Fu and his sister are both large dogs and will grow up in the future, so the claws are particularly large at a young age. Me too, I will grow taller in the future, so I have wide palms and big feet.
In this village, it is possible to have a name only if it belongs to me. Ah Fu belongs to me, so it has a name, but its sister, like its mother, does not belong to anyone in name, and no one is qualified to name them, so they do not have a name. name.
When I first came to the village, I was not used to the fact that most people in the village did not have names. In my opinion, a name is the most basic thing for a person. I can't imagine how a person without a name can be called by others.
But look now, I've been with the widow without a name for so long, with her unnamed daughter and son, and it doesn't really bother me that they have a name for so long.
I once thought that I had two puppies last winter. Since then, the village will be guarded by three dogs, and it will be safer in the future, but I didn't expect the big dog to leave quietly before the snow melted in the spring. Someone in the village saw the big dog wading around. The river that had begun to melt left, but I didn't have time to say goodbye to it.
The snow in the village began to melt, and it was raining in my hut because of the infiltration of snow. This year, with the help of the widow's daughter and son, I dealt with the snow faster than last year. Saved me a lot of effort.
I didn't save food in the winter, and when I brought more food from another world to supplement it, the widow's daughter and son looked much better than before, and their arms were a little sensual.
I thought the widow would continue to live in that man's house, but when I went to the river with my dog to pick up stones and try to repair the house, I saw the widow working in the rubble of the collapsed house of my own, and she turned around in embarrassment when she saw me , dare not look at me.
She didn't want to take her daughter and son home because she took all the food she had scraped to the man's house last winter, but now she's been kicked out with only a little food, not enough to feed two children.
I can only shake my head, I feel sad for her, but on the other hand I understand that if I were her, I would have no better way, if I hadn't been able to travel back and forth between the two worlds, then I would be mostly skinny now There was only one breath left in his head.
