Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 48
I managed to persuade him, and several villagers made a stretcher out of ropes, and carried Uncle Duoji back.Gesang didn't wait for me to ask, he cried and said: "You didn't come back that night, and the old sheep at home came back alone, so I knew something happened to you and Dad. Dahei rushed out crazily. , the iron chain was broken by her, before I had time to call someone, Dahei rushed out, and we went out to search for a few days, but we never found you, I thought..."

Gesang cried with snot and tears, and kept wiping his face with his sleeve. I comforted him with a smile and said, "What's there to cry about? Isn't everyone back safely now? Thanks to Dahei She saved our lives, by the way, what happened to the little mastiffs at home?" Before Gesang could speak, a villager said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm here to let the uncle's house. It's so fat, it's fat. The uncle is reluctant to eat, so I just save it for the little mastiff."

I don't know if Dahei understood this sentence, she took a breath, as if letting go of a stone in her heart.Seeing the crooked-neck tree at the entrance of the village, Dahei spread her legs and ran back desperately. She missed her children. After eight days of life and death, as a mother, who would miss herself? What about your child?
The four little mastiffs grew up very healthy in Cairang's house.In the eight days since we left home, Gesang and a group of villagers have been looking for us non-stop, and almost searched the nearby grasslands, but they couldn't find the back of the mountain. No one thought that, We will be driven to that place by wolves.

Uncle Dorji's legs were crippled from the cold, and his knees were swollen and purple. We boiled some hot water and soaked his legs, and he got better a little bit.But the knee still hurts, and the high fever has not subsided. After taking some medicine and resting for a few days, the condition is somewhat relieved.

The wound on my leg bitten by a wolf has remained forever, until now, and the scar has not disappeared. There are several deep blood holes on the left leg, and two wide blood grooves on the side of the right leg.But I don't think these injuries matter, as long as Dahei is fine, I feel at ease, but the situation is not optimistic, no matter how fierce the mastiff is, it is still a body of flesh and blood.Maybe many friends will be disappointed when they see this place. Do everyone think that as long as it is a mastiff, it should be invincible and invincible like a heavenly soldier?That's impossible, and the gods can't do it completely.With one block of dozens, the attack power of a ferocious wolf may be much inferior to that of a good mastiff, but once it attacks, it is more ferocious than a mastiff, all it takes is time and endurance.Dahei suffered a big loss when he was hungry and injured. Although he won in the end, he suffered injuries all over his body.

The thing that touched me the most about an animal like a mastiff is that it can give up everything, food, water, and even its own life for its owner without reservation, and resist all dangers for its owner. This is not just an animal. The pure loyalty to the master is a deeper feeling than the friendship between master and servant in the life of life and death.

Dahei's injury needs to be recuperated for a while. Her body is full of wounds bitten by wolves. The tendon on her left front leg was hooked out by wolf claws. Fortunately, it is not broken, but Dahei can no longer maintain her balance when walking. , limping on the left front leg, like a cripple.I was very sad, I couldn't eat for a few days, I looked at Dahei, and swallowed my tears. The wounds on Dahei's body were shockingly reflected in my eyes all the time. When I have a lot of energy, I am so moved that I feel ashamed.Uncle Duoji comforted me and said, "Don't worry, Dahei won't be disabled, he just needs to take care of it for a while..." As he said this, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. Dahei had never suffered such a serious injury. !Who raises the mastiff, who doesn't feel distressed?

In order for Dahei's injury to heal as soon as possible, I ate and slept with Dahei all day long.Dahei was still so calm, her eyes half-opened and half-closed, looking lazy, but once she opened her eyes, she was so shrewd and mighty, and the injuries on her body didn't dampen her momentum at all.

During the few days when Gesang went out to look for us, he cried and searched for us. He lost one of his boots, and the little toe on his left foot was completely frozen and he lost all feeling. Afterwards, he heard that the little toe was going to be amputated. He was very worried. He asked me eagerly: "Brother, my feet are freezing, can I still be a soldier in the future?" I comforted him: "Who knows if you don't tell me? However, it still affects a little. In terms of some balance skills, you may No one else will do well, you have to put in a lot more effort than others, God pays off!"

Gesang asked me how long I could stay in the prairie. He was reluctant for me to leave, and I was also reluctant for this beautiful prairie.But when I saw Dahei covered in wounds, I couldn't help thinking that although I am not a mastiff, I can learn the character of a mastiff, and like Dahei, go to the place where I should go and do my best. What you should do.I said: "It's spring, I have to leave after I send the little mastiff to Uncle Xianba's house, and I will definitely come back to see you when I have a chance."

Gesang was silent, I knew what he was thinking.Uncle Dorje's eldest son has made a lot of money outside, and he heard that he will open a restaurant in Shigatse in two years, and he will take Uncle Dorji and Gesang there.

The herdsmen on the prairie have one less family, fewer sheep, and fewer wolves. How can the mastiffs survive without the prairie?Like the transformation of the most popular celebrities at the moment, transforming into a pet dog in a timely manner, or sticking to the last line of defense of the mastiff family, until finally getting old in despair?

For the rest of the long period of time, Uncle Dorji, Dahei and Gesang, we all had to spend the days recuperating from our injuries. The herdsmen in the village sent cattle, sheep and food to Dorji’s family by coincidence. Tashimu's family couldn't save face and sent two sheep over.

Although life is not so rich, but it is still passable, I am grateful for everything that Dahei has done for us, I no longer let her go out to hunt and eat, and save the best meat from my ration for her every meal.The little mastiff had enough milk and grew stronger and stronger. Not only did it fight every day, but it also began to grind its teeth.My bed quilt was dragged from the bed to the ground by the prince and the prince, and the four little guys did not say hello, so they refitted the quilt into their new nest, jumped up and down in it, and the cotton wool was pulled out. The lazy princess wet the bed on it in the middle of the night.

Forty, goodbye, Dahei
Time flies, and after seeing a few snowstorms, the wind stopped, and the weather is getting warmer every day, but my heart is getting heavier and heavier. I know that my time with Dahei is running out, and there are many things every day Unspeakably sad, just like when I was about to leave the army.

The weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting. I went to Shigatse for the last time to help Uncle Dorje buy medicine. By the way, I sent the old radio station to the lieutenant colonel to thank him for his assistance during the snow disaster. Finally, I called Heizi .My nose was sore, and as soon as I got through the phone call, I scolded Heizi mercilessly, and I said: "You are not good enough buddies, and you have come here to heal my wounds, which have not been healed yet. My heart was broken again..."

Heizi didn't speak, just kept laughing on the phone, and when I was done with my grief, that guy spoke up: "You kid has a wound in your heart, a man like you needs to use fire to fight fire, and a heartache needs to be healed." How about it, now you only remember Dahei in your heart? Have you thrown all the brothers in the army out of the sky?"

A seemingly ordinary passage made me feel sore. I scolded him: "You fart! Brothers are brothers, Dahei is Dahei, I... can't bear to..." The following words, I feel that there is a smear Crying, I'm a man, I shouldn't cry on this occasion, my throat moved, and I hung up the phone.Heizi seemed to want to tease me, but he didn't have the chance.

When we returned to the prairie, it was already the afternoon of the second day. Gesang told me: "Dahei saw that you didn't come back last night, so he was standing in the yard waiting. She didn't answer anyone we called her, and just stood there. I stayed overnight. In the morning, I went back to the nest to have a look, then stood in the yard and waited for you, and I have been standing there until now." I was moved and hugged Dahei, rubbing my face against hers Many people, seeing Dahei with an extremely ferocious appearance, dare not make out with her like this. Uncle Duoji would not do this, and Gesang did not dare. Dahei has always been lonely, and maybe only I can. Will make out with her like this.

Since the last encounter with wolves in Snow Valley, Dahei has never been tied again. The iron chain that used to tie Dahei was not only broken by Dahei, but also covered with Dahei's thorns. Tooth marks, one next to each other, no matter who it is, before seeing Dahei, they will first look at the half of the remaining iron chain, and they will feel timid in their hearts.

The little mastiff grows so fast, it looks like it is more than two months old, and several little guys are scrambling for meat to eat. The prince and the prince fight every day for the food. Once they fight, the room is full Chickens are flying like dogs, pots and pans are jumping.As the little mastiff grows bigger, it eats more and more food. This is a bit of a problem for the Duoji family who live in poverty. After all, the mastiff is still young and cannot go out to hunt by itself.Uncle Duoji couldn't bear to let Dahei go out to find food by himself with his injuries.

I had a premonition that the day when the little mastiffs would leave home was coming, and it was time for them to leave Dahei and start a new life of their own.

Uncle Duoji gave the prince to the uncle’s house, and the prince gave it to another herdsman. The families are not too far away. The prince and the prince ran back to Duoji’s house to eat and drink when they were free, and sometimes they would find Dahei What's even more ridiculous is that sometimes the prince would rush to the prince's house to fight. I can't imagine what these two mastiffs will look like when they grow up.

Uncle Zhaximu also fulfilled his wish and took Gege back. Dahei did not go crazy like last time. She also knew that the children had grown up and were about to leave her. Every mastiff has its own responsibility. The place to go, instead of staying by my mother's side from childhood to old age.

When Gege was taken away, she cried and made noises, played with temper, and refused to leave.Dahei was also reluctant, and licked it over and over again, which made my eyes sore.I know that as soon as Princess is sent away, the princess will be left in the end, and it will be left to Uncle Xianba's family, and the day when the princess will be sent away is getting closer and closer.

The snow on the prairie melts faster than in the mountains, and the range of sunshine is wide. In many places where the snow has melted, mice and rabbits have come out and jumped, and new shoots have sprouted from the turf, and green shoots have emerged from the residual snow. Son, all life is revived.The wolf has more food to eat, and will not come to snatch the herdsmen's sheep again, and the day to see the princess off has finally come.

The princess is a black mastiff, like a big black, it looks very lazy, half-closed and half-opened all day long, she doesn't answer everything, only when she grabs something to eat, she will be refreshed. Going out and grabbing desperately is much more ferocious than it was when it was a child.I guess, the princess should look very much like Dahei when she grows up. It is less than three months now, and she has already shown her mastiff appearance. When she usually lies there, she seems to be dead. Gotta run around it.

The day of parting finally came. Uncle Dorji, because of his leg injury and because he couldn't leave the family, asked me to send the princess there on his behalf.The princess is almost three months old, and the three-month-old mastiff is already very heavy. It is bigger than ordinary domestic dogs, and it is also very thick. It doesn't look like a girl at all, but like a strong man.The princess also seemed to know that she was going to be sent out of the house, like a child who loves her home and refused to leave at home.When I hold it, it wants to bite me.When Dahei saw that the princess was going to bite me, he rushed forward, bit the skin of the back of the princess's neck, pulled her half off the ground, and gave him a hard lesson.The princess was honest at last, but I still had a lot of effort to pick her up. The little guy was really heavy, like a big iron mound. Once it was put on the ground, it refused to move, so I had to hug her. Walking with it, you have to carry the food and drink along the way.

When it was just dawn, I set off.Stopping and stopping along the way, the princess is not so heavy. The more I walked, the more I felt tired, and I felt like a stone in my arms, which was constantly falling. At noon, I put the princess down and said, "Your Highness, Please move your jade legs and take two steps?"

The princess ignored me, as if deliberately torturing me, it was still angry at me for separating it from its mother, not only ignored me, but also refused to accept the food and water I fed it, holding back Sulking, pointed ass to my face.I don't know whether it's outrageous or funny, this signature action is Dahei's patent, I didn't expect the princess to inherit this "advantage" of Dahei, and started to make fun of me.I just slapped the princess's little butt, and said angrily: "I'm so lazy, I won't smash your butt."

It doesn't matter if the slap is continued, the princess is angry, and completely throws the hard work I have brought it up in the past few months to the back of my buttocks, and rushes towards me head-on.I didn't expect the princess who was less than three months old to do this. It threw me on my back to the ground, opened its mouth full of small fangs, and sprayed air at my face.I was taken aback, thinking that the princess was going to bite me. Unexpectedly, after it lost its temper, it suddenly licked my face with saliva, and the sticky halazi smeared my face spattered.After the princess let it out, she felt much more refreshed. Before I could call her, she jumped and ran forward.I was dumbfounded by the princess, packed delicious food and water, carried a backpack, and went to chase the princess. Watching it happily jumping around on the residual snow and turf, I didn’t know whether I was happy or disappointed.

The princess had never been to the prairie alone before, and the farthest place was nearly [-] square meters in front of Dorji's house, and she had never been there any farther.Now that I have arrived at the vast prairie, my horizons have been opened, and my mood has also become brighter.The princess looked around curiously, playing with the little rabbits and mice. Unfortunately, the little animals on the grassland, when they saw the fierce looking princess coming over, they were so frightened that they trembled like chaff before the princess ran over. , disappeared without a trace.

After the princess had run for an hour on the steppe by herself, it was tired.At this time, the bones of the puppy are still relatively soft, so it is not suitable for long-term running, which will affect its future growth.I held the princess in my arms, fed it, poured water into my palm, and fed it to drink.It seemed that the princess was also tired, and she ate very happily, and she didn't look like she was eating at all. Although there was no little mastiff competing with her for food now, she still ate like a raging cloud.

Suddenly, I heard a little movement in the grass. Although the princess was still young, she immediately became vigilant, stopped eating, and looked up.

A few young wolves appeared in the grass. These were half-grown wolves who were not yet old. They might have seen the snow melt and ran out to look for food.They were digging rat holes and catching mice to eat, and they were startled by the princess's rude eating.Soon, I relaxed from the tension. I saw the "three-eyed" little wolf, which was also among the little wolves. It looked like a little leader. I guess the little wolf still remembered it. Me, but it doesn't know the princess, and the princess doesn't know it.

When I saw wolves, I don’t know why, the princess is usually lazier than pigs, she jumped out of my arms, just like the big black once, rushed towards those little wolves, howling wildly all the way, Although there is still immatureness in the cry.The little wolves backed away in horror, and then scattered with a bang, running in different directions. These little wolves were still relatively young and didn't know how to concentrate their forces.

After the "three-eyed" wolf hesitated for a while, he had a premonition that it was wrong to do so, and began to call out to his companions. Several little wolves started to circle while running, and finally gathered together.The princess was still young and didn't know any tactics and techniques. She was dragged away by a few little wolves, and then she was exhausted and stood there, panting heavily with her tongue out.I felt sorry for the princess, so I ran over and dragged her back, and said, "Forget it, she is begging for a living, and she didn't come to grab food from you. They all live on the prairie, and they have to be forgiving and forgiving, maybe Someday in the future, these little wolves can save your life too!"

I was talking to myself, thinking of that fatal snow valley trip, if it wasn’t for Dahei and the group of wolves who arrived later to save us, I would have turned into fertilizer on the prairie by now Absorbed and digested, finally turned into grass, eaten by sheep, finally turned into dung, turned into fuel, and burned into a puff of green smoke.The little wolves saw that the princess stopped chasing them, and the "three-eyed" little wolf also knew that I would not take the initiative to hurt it, so he confidently led his companions to continue digging rat holes.The princess was sitting in my arms, looking at them curiously.

The "Three-Eyed" wolf was digging the mouse hole while secretly looking at me. Now he has grown into a big boy, and he is no longer like before. I chisel him as much as he wants.It first caught a mouse and looked at me while eating.The little wolf caught several mice one after another, and left after eating. The most inexplicable thing to me was that when the "three-eyed" little wolf was about to leave, he even caught two little prairie mice. The rat, not eating, stayed.

I don't know if it's for me or for the princess, it makes me feel very inexplicable, the little wolf has grown up and revealed a ferocious face, and it is impossible for it to be grateful to anyone or animals, and it may, It was just that the moment it saw me, the memory of its mother that remained in its mind was awakened again.

The princess ate the two mice unceremoniously. The mice were not dead yet, and were lingering on their last days.The princess ate such live food for the first time, and was very excited. She jumped happily on the grass and played games with the mice.
