Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 49
I saw that it was getting late, so in order to reach Uncle Xianba's house before dark, I simply crushed the mouse to death, stuffed it into the princess's mouth, and then took it on the road.I don't know, the snow on the prairie has almost melted, but the snow in the mountains is still so thick, maybe because the sun can't shine directly. When I walked by the foot of the mountain, I looked up and saw a large area. A large area of ​​thick snow, the surface of the snow seems to have some signs of melting.

According to Uncle Dorji's instructions, I walked around the foot of the mountain far away, so that even if the melted snow fell, it would not hit me below.The princess happily jumped and ran forward in the snow. Suddenly, it stopped and stood in front of me, looking around nervously.

Mastiffs are not nervous, nor will they become nervous for no reason. Even a young mastiff is born with some kind of premonition that is more acute than human beings. I know that something must happen, but Don't know what's going to happen, are there wolves?Or some other beast?I was hesitating, when I suddenly looked up, there was a large chunk of heavy snow hanging above my head, protruding from one end of the mountain wall, because it was a slope, the snow fell and broke while sliding, I quickly picked up the princess , ran to the open place next to it.

The princess suddenly screamed wildly, and before I could run two steps away, the huge piece of snow above fell down, with a loud bang, the snow piece shattered and splashed everywhere, and a deep hole was smashed out on the snow. Pit, the flying snow blocks hit my back with a pop sound, very painful.This piece of snow hasn't finished falling yet, the snow on the mountain wall seems to have collapsed, and a large piece of snow covering half of the mountain begins to pour down, like a flood that has opened its gates, rushing down aggressively, threatening With a roar like thunder, the snow blocks hit the snow blocks, and the overwhelming white rolled up.

avalanche?My brain was still immersed in nervousness, and my legs had already run out involuntarily. This was an instinctive reaction, and I hadn't been completely instructed by my brain. I hugged the princess tightly and ran desperately, and the snow was just behind my butt all the way. Howling and madly chasing after.The snow was getting bigger and bigger, like a huge snowball, pressing towards me.I admit that when an avalanche occurs suddenly, it is like a volcanic eruption. After all, people cannot resist the power of nature. My speed is already very fast, but when I run, the snow is a bit stuck. When I finally move forward The moment I pounced, a large cloud of snow suddenly fell on me.

The rumbling outside continued, the loose snow provided me with oxygen, and when I climbed out from under the snow five minutes later, the princess was still in my arms.The little guy saw that I was fine, so he licked my face happily. I know that although sometimes he is very angry with me and likes to fight with me, but from the bottom of his heart, the princess is reluctant to leave me, so he walked They all depended on me and refused to walk, so I insisted on hugging me.

I am grateful to the princess for warning me in advance. If I react a little slower, I may be buried forever by this avalanche. Looking at the scene of snow avalanche in front of me, I gratefully patted the princess Head, said: "The road is blocked, we have to take another detour."

The princess is just playful, and she doesn't care about walking a little longer. She bounced around on the snow for a few laps, and then hugged me again.Although it is less than three months old, it has already grown into a big man and has a lot of strength. When it swooped towards me, it could almost knock me back.

We went around the back of the mountain, walking from the other side of the mountain, the side facing the sun, the snow has almost completely melted, the ice and snow of the winter have melted into streams, washed down from the mountain, and converged into a small river, rolling the debris on both sides of the river. The rocks slapped on both sides of the rock, making a ding-ding-dong-dong sound.

The princess was very interested in this kind of sound. It liked to play with water since it was a child. When it gave Dahei a basin of clear water to drink, it simply jumped into it, stirring the full basin of water black with its four paws.Now when she heard the sound of water from nature, the princess jumped up excitedly, roaring in a childish voice, threw me away, and rushed towards the water quickly.

The snow of the whole winter has melted into this creek, and the water in the early spring is particularly rushing, and it is still circling around the corners. .I was afraid that something would happen to the princess, so I chased it forward in three steps. Before I grabbed its tail, it jumped into the water with a plop.

The current was very fast, and as soon as the princess jumped in, she felt as if something sharp had pricked her paws.The princess cried out in pain, leaned back, and a torrent of water rushed over. It couldn't stand still, and its body was rushed downstream by the water.I was terrified, nothing happened to this little guy, otherwise how would I explain to the two old men?How can I explain to Dahei?
Before I could take off my clothes and shoes, I jumped into the water.After getting into the water, I realized that something was wrong. This small river is not deep, the depth is less than my waist, I can’t swim in it at all, and the bottom of the water is full of sharp broken stones. The boards are so painful.

The water is not deep for me, but for the princess, it is already a vast ocean. A wave of water rolled over, and the princess stretched out a small paw to me. It wanted to grab my hand, but it was too far away to catch it. ; wanted to call me, a stream of water was poured into its mouth, and another stream of water passed over it, and the princess disappeared all of a sudden.

I saw that the princess was choking on the water and coughing until she was submerged, and she was struggling all the time, trying to go upstream, but the current was fast and the slope was steep, and her feet could not stand firmly.I was really frightened, don't look at the princess growing tall, but she is still too young, I am worried that it will die, no matter how deep or shallow the water is, a savage pierced it, and pulled it with my hands Gravel swims forward.The water is not deep, and there are many corners. When I emerged from the bottom again, I still couldn't see the figure of the princess. I could only hear the sound of the rushing water, and my heart suddenly became cold.

I can't tolerate my dereliction of duty. Even if the princess is drowned, I have to find her body and swim a long way. The water below is getting shallower and the current has eased a lot. I have to Get out of the water and step on the gravel below.

The stones at the bottom of the water were sharp and hard, and one piece pierced through the soles of my shoes, and even the soles of my feet were smashed.But I didn't feel any pain, and I didn't feel anything except worry and anxiety about the princess.

I waded in the water for a long time, but I still didn’t touch the princess’s body. I thought it might have been washed ashore by the current, so I went ashore and walked down the bank while looking for the princess’s body. .The cotton-padded clothes and trousers soaked in water were blown by the wind in the mountains, and immediately the whole body was so cold that there was no warmth at all.What is cold and cold spring, this is, not to mention that it is not a complete spring, it should be said that it is a relatively warm end of winter.

The cotton coat that had absorbed enough water was as heavy as a piece of iron. I took a breath, sat down on the bank, took off my clothes, and wrung the water.The water in the two boots can be used to raise fish. I pulled out my feet and found that the water in the left boot was stained red with blood. I took off the sock and saw that the left foot was pierced by a sharp stone. Still flowing out.

This little injury is okay for the time being, but the terrible thing is that my whole body is soaked in water, and the wind in the mountains is cold, and when it blows towards me, it is as cold as a blizzard.I had no choice but to take off my clothes one by one, wring out the water, and put them on again.No matter how good my body is, I probably can't stand such torture. I finally drained the water in my boots and put them on my feet. I couldn't help but sneezed. It was so cold!
Before I sneeze the second time, I seem to hear the cry of the princess in my ears.It was far away, and it came up from a certain bank downstream. I was surprised and happy, the princess is fine!

Before I put on my boots, I ran downstream in a hurry, calling the princess's name while running, and the princess's cry was clearly heard from downstream, and she seemed to be sneezing while shouting, probably it was also frozen The water in the river was frozen, and the wind couldn't stand the cold.

The princess was washed to a shallower place downstream by the rushing water, and at a turn, she finally climbed onto the shore with her own life.It knew that I was looking for it upstream, and as soon as it landed on the shore, it ran upstream desperately, barking as it ran.From a distance, I saw the princess spreading her four claws, running towards me, and finally threw herself into my arms. I didn't know whether I was going to cry or laugh, so I hugged the princess and held her tightly in my arms. Here, it seemed like a normal person, excitedly arching in my arms while licking my face.

Seeing that the princess came here by herself, I let go of a big stone that was pressing on my heart. I helped the princess wring out the water that had absorbed enough on its hair.A gust of wind blew over, and I was afraid of freezing it, so I took off my coat and wrapped it around her to keep her out of the wind.Although my coat was soaked, it had been blown half dry by the wind all the way downriver.

I walked back the same way and found the backpack upstream. Fortunately, the backpack was dry. I took out the little food left in it, had a meal with the princess first, and then dismantled the backpack. Wrap it around the princess' belly to keep it warm.

The wind in the mountains is very cold. After a long time, even healthy people will get sick after such a toss. I can't bear to let the princess go away by herself. He ran forward with the princess in his arms, hoping to reach Uncle Xianba's house before dark.

Although there were some small episodes on the road, it was smooth afterwards. When it was dark, we were already sitting at Uncle Xianba’s house warming up. Uncle Xianba changed me into a set of Dajie’s clothes, and I put the wet clothes Put it on the stove to roast.The princess's hair has already been dried by the warm fire. I didn't expect this little guy to be quite strong. Maybe it has something to do with his gluttony and sleepiness when he was a child, and his growth of strong flesh?Before the hair was completely dried, the little guy ran around the house and began to get acquainted with its new home.

Seeing the arrival of the princess, Uncle Cenba was very happy. Like a baby, he held the princess in his arms, stroked it over and over again, and said, "Look, it looks exactly like Nanka. Oh, Dahei I used to look like this when I was a child, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have always been so cute."

Seeing that the princess is not afraid of being born, jumping around beside Uncle Xianba, arching all over the room, turning over all the things it can move, playing with it, naughty and cute, I really can't bear to keep the princess Leaving alone, I suddenly felt a little sore in my heart.

Uncle Xianba didn't notice my discomfort, and Aunt Xianba was not at home, so he cooked hot yak meat soup for me and told me: "Dajie went on a long trip a few days ago, and went to Hong Kong to help his uncle take care of the food. For the business over there, he said he would come back in early autumn and go to Beijing to see you. Oh, yes, Xiao Bing, you will go back in a few days, right?" I nodded, hummed, and said, " Uncle, the princess is very naughty, changing her baby teeth these days, biting things everywhere, you have to put away the valuables, if you don’t pay attention, when you look back, you won’t be able to find them!" Uncle Xianba said: "Okay!" Then he brought up the broth with a smile, and gave the princess another bowl. It was the same bowl as I used, and I carefully put it on the ground for it to eat. Even better treatment.

The princess ate the beef soup upside down in one gulp, then ran to my side and rubbed its nipple against my trouser legs. I touched its head in distress and said, "Good boy, this will be yours from now on." It’s a new home, you’re not allowed to be mischievous, tear the quilt, defecate anywhere, let alone smear other people’s faces when you’re happy.”

Before I finished speaking, the princess threw herself into my arms and began to lick my face excitedly again. It seemed to be very excited and had endless energy.
