Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 5 This is the real mastiff (5)
People often say "Like a father, like a son". At this moment, I misinterpreted this sentence into another meaning, that is, "Like a master, like a mastiff".No wonder the first time I saw Dahei, I felt a shock in my heart. I kept thinking: what made Dahei take the initiative to take the responsibility of protecting the entire village. Now, I seem to understand a little bit.

At night, the village fell silent again. Dahei did not sleep on her comfortable rug, but went to the courtyard gate and stood there for a long time.The wind on the prairie whipped up Dahei's hair, making her double in size instantly, making her even more majestic and majestic.After the day's events, Dahei seemed to have some ominous premonition at this time. Uncle Duoji called her several times, but she still refused to rest, but was nailed there unshakably like a door god.Perhaps, mastiffs also have their own language to communicate with each other.The mastiffs of several families also stood guard at the door of their own houses like Dahei. They looked at each other, and then looked at the entrance of the village.

It was late at night, and the other mastiffs finally went back to their yards, the gates were closed, and the whole village fell asleep.I have been lying on the bed, leaning on the narrow window hole on the wall next to the bed, watching Dahei secretly, and after an unknown amount of time, I dozed off in a daze.

Suddenly, several long wolf howls pierced the silence of the night sky.Dahei jumped out of the courtyard door and roared frantically.Me, Gesang, and Uncle Duoji couldn't fall asleep all the time. When we heard the wolf howling and the howling of the mastiff, we all woke up at the same time.We didn't know how many wolves had come, but when we heard the mastiff roaring loudly, we all ran into the yard together.Uncle Duoji was holding the earthen shotgun in his arms, and Gesang picked up a grass-fork iron fork from the corner of the yard. I only had two empty hands and clenched my fists.

The mastiff in the village also roared, and the villagers were all awakened, and rushed out of the yard with their own weapons. The mastiff also ran out with its master, roaring everywhere.For a while, the lifeless village immediately became noisy.People in the village flocked to the entrance of the village. Looking from a distance, there were several black spots moving on the grassy slope opposite the entrance of the village.Suddenly, several long howls of wolves came from the grassy slope again, and someone shouted: "I see clearly, there are six of them."

There should have been seven mastiffs, but one had its leg bitten off by Dahei during the day, and was torn to pieces by the other two mastiffs who rushed over.I have been thinking: These wolves will definitely follow and avenge their companions.

The wolf is a kind of animal that is good at revenge and loves revenge.

Several mastiffs roared at the entrance of the village together, and the momentum was enough to swallow mountains and rivers. I once again thought of the powerful Tibetan mastiff army of Genghis Khan.Some people say that Genghis Khan's Tibetan mastiff army has [-] soldiers, all of which are all brave Tibetan mastiffs, and some say [-] or [-].I dare not imagine that even if there are only a thousand of them, the momentum is enough to scare people.I thought of the overwhelming Tibetan mastiff troops, sweeping all the way, with wind and clouds, and my heart was chilled.

The black spots on the grass slopes disappeared, the howling of wolves was no longer heard, and everything returned to its usual tranquility.

The mastiff roared a few more times to practice their voices, and then they were taken home under the yelling of their masters.

[-]. When Dahei meets Mao Mao, another mastiff

Dahei still refused to go back, so she squatted at the entrance of the village and watched for a while.The grass on the grass slope was slanted to one side by the wind, and the wind made the grass shake, like waves, sweeping past wave after wave.Dahei suddenly turned his head, threw off his four thick legs, and ran to the back of the village with all his might.What is she going to do?I followed behind Dahei's butt and shouted: "Dahei, come back!"

Dahei has her own ideas, so she doesn't want to waste my words with me, not to mention I can't understand her language.Dahei kept running towards the back of the village without looking back.Uncle Dorji said: "Let's go and have a look behind the village." In order to avoid accidents to the sheep at home, he asked Gesang to go home first, and shouted if he had something to do.The village wasn't very big in the first place, and the whole village could hear it clearly when he yelled loudly.

Dahei's hunch was correct. When Uncle Duoji and I rushed to the back of the village, Dahei was grinning and arching his back towards the grass behind the village, ready to attack.The grass behind the village was shaking, and it was obvious that something was moving in the grass.Dahei suddenly let go of his voice and let out a loud roar. The wolves in the grass were shocked. One wolf raised its head and howled, and the other wolves immediately dispersed, ready to outflank.In order to avenge their fellow wolves, this pack of wolves seems ready to go all out.

Hearing the movement again, the mastiffs in the village roared together again, and then rushed out of their respective yards. The villagers also chased them out, and some people banged the iron tools loudly.Finally, the wolves couldn't stand the fright and scattered.

This night, the village has never been quiet. Although the wolves dispersed, they gathered again after a while to harass them psychologically.He yelled at the head of the village for a while, and ran to the back of the village and yelled twice, anyway, just to keep you at peace.The people in the village may have lived on the prairie for many years, and they have long been used to such a life. Except for the loyal mastiff roaring in response from time to time, people never come out again.

"These wolves can't do much good. With mastiffs around, wolves dare not enter the village. They just want to take revenge and vent their anger." Uncle Duoji said.Then he sat down on the carpet in the room and started smoking.

Gesang squatted in the sheepfold, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Abba, the ewe has a lamb!"

Uncle Duoji hurried to the sheepfold excitedly.I have never seen a ewe give birth to a lamb, nor have I seen what a newborn lamb looks like. By the time I ran from Dahei to the sheepfold, the lamb had been born smoothly.

The hero's mother gave birth to four lambs. The lambs were born, and they could walk and run after a while, which is much better than humans.Seeing the four little guys put their heads under the ewe's belly to grab the teats, the hair on their bodies is still not dry, I suddenly felt a tender feeling in my heart.I don't know what Dahei will be like when she gives birth to a cub in the future. Will she be very gentle to me at that time?
In short, Dahei is still very rude to me now, baring his teeth is a common thing, and sometimes, he still walks up to me and puts his butt in my face.I endured it silently, and I believe that this is Dahei testing me.

Uncle Dorji said, when all the ewes have given birth, the cubs are almost grown, and autumn is here, kill a batch of sheep and put them in the cellar, enough for us to eat until next summer, and we can also bring some Tibetan farmers in the planting area In exchange for food, tea or something.

This is how simple Tibetan herdsmen live their unpretentious life, so the flock is their life.

Seeing the lamb suckling reminded me of the little wolf cub who hadn't eaten all night.

I expressed some goat milk and took it inside to feed it.The hungry little wolf cub had already put two front legs into the milk bowl, and one hind leg was resting on the side of the bowl. When he kicked hard, the bowl overturned, and the goat milk flowed all over the floor, and the little wolf cub hurriedly lay down. On the ground, lick everywhere.During this licking process, the little wolf cub added another novel movement. While licking, it gnawed on the ground with its fleshy mouth, which was its natural habit.Wolves eat their prey, they only bite, they don't lick like cats.I saw the ferocity of the little wolf cub, and thought of those wolves during the day. I had an urge to throw this little wolf cub out, or trample it to death.

When I was thinking this way, Uncle Dorji walked into the house and said: "Those wolves will not come tonight, but it will be hard to say tomorrow. They may harass the village for several days. Anyway, there are mastiffs here. These few wolves can't make a big climate."

After a night of tossing, Dahei must be hungry. After consulting Uncle Duoji’s opinion, I went to the cellar to pick up a few pieces of fresh meat and some bones for Dahei, crushed the bones, mixed them in a basin, and served them Big black to eat.Dahei first despised me for a while, maybe the bones were chopped too unevenly, she insisted on refusing to eat, Dahei had a natural disdain and suspicion for food that was not given by the master.

"Eat, eat, it's okay." Uncle Duoji patted Dahei's head, stirred the meat in the basin twice with his own hands, and then served it to Dahei, who then bowed his head and began to eat.

The little wolf cub, who hadn't yet grown teeth, smelled the smell of meat. It scratched and crawled in Dahei's arms like crazy, and finally found the meat plate, and then grabbed the meat bowl with two small front paws. , Pushing hard with both hind legs, trying to jump into the meat plate.Dahei pressed the little wolf cub down with one paw. No matter how loving he is, Dahei is just a mastiff. She pressed the little wolf cub's tail with her broad paws, and swallowed the minced meat herself. and bones.After eating, Dahei stuck out his tongue and licked the little wolf cub's head, smelling the meaty smell in Dahei's mouth, the little wolf cub desperately licked Dahei's mouth, and Dahei also licked the little wolf cub. Wolf cubs, two guys, one big and one small, are fighting together.

Uncle Duoji took the little wolf cub away, and he said: "Last time when Dahei was playing with a lamb in the pen, he crushed the lamb's head in one bite. Her teeth are like steel bars, so I can't hold it." Zhunli said, Gesang doesn’t even dare to make trouble with Dahei.” I thought that one day, Dahei would be as affectionate with me as he was with Uncle Duoji, but now hearing what Uncle Duoji said, my heart is cold down.A mastiff is a mastiff and can never resemble a domestic dog.

The next day when I came back from herding sheep, in the evening, I saw Barton, the mastiff of Uncle Tashimu’s house next door, standing at the door of his house and looking out stupidly.Barton looks a bit naive. According to us humans, he has no brains.I thought: Barton should have been normal when he was born, but the home he lived in was a bit abnormal, so Barton was finally polished into what he is now.

I was still resentful because I was angry that Uncle Zaximu encouraged the whole village to sell mastiffs, so I thought about how to play tricks on Barton.I looked back at the room, and Dahei was lying with the little wolf cub, so I discussed it with Gesang.When Gesang heard that I was going to fix Uncle Ximu's mastiff, he was very happy, said that he could finally vent his anger, and raised his hands in support of my idea.I finally found a faithful "companion".

Started to do bad things.

I first pretended to nurse the little wolf cub, and then asked Gesang to lure Dahei away with a lamb leg bone. While Dahei was not paying attention, I grabbed the little wolf and threw it outside the courtyard wall of Uncle Tashimu's house.Button looked at it stupidly, and later saw that it was a little wolf cub, no matter how stupid the mastiff was, he knew that the wolf was his enemy, because the little wolf was too small, so Button didn't growl, just walked over, raised his front paws, and About to step on the little wolf cub's head, the little wolf cub screamed in fright.

I hid aside and watched, and suddenly heard Gesang's scream of "ah" from the yard, and then I seemed to hear Gesang being knocked over by something, and then I saw a black whirlwind All of a sudden, he rushed out of the yard and rushed straight to Barton.

Barton was playing with its prey, when he heard movement behind him, when he turned his head, Dahei had already jumped in front of it, and leaped up suddenly, Barton saw clearly that it was Dahei who was rushing over, and shrank his neck in fright, I wanted to go back, but it was too late.Button was thrown on his back by the big black, and he lay on his back. He didn't dare to move or scream, but he was so frightened that he retracted his neck vigorously to protect his throat.

Dahei showed no mercy, opened her big mouth angrily, and leaned close to Barton's face, spraying heat waves, roaring ferociously, without showing any mercy.While roaring, she pressed Barton firmly under her body with her two wide front paws, not allowing him to move at all.Barton didn't dare to move at all.

The female mastiff was much more ferocious than the male mastiff, especially Dahei, who was full of arrogance. In the fight with Barton, Barton was almost vulnerable, or in other words, Dahei had an overwhelming advantage.

Seeing the little wolf cub crawling helplessly on the ground, Dahei still couldn't help but roared twice, then suddenly lowered his head, and went to bite the hair on Barton's chest.I was afraid that she would bite Barton, and that Uncle Tashimu would relentlessly jump to the front of Duoji's house and yell at him, so I rushed over and called Dahei to stop.

It was better if I didn’t yell. Hearing my yell, Dahei was even angrier. She didn’t bite Patton, but just tore off a bunch of hair on Patton’s chest. Patton twisted his body in pain. It was a bite down, biting a pinch of skin on Barton's left chest.Although she also knew that they were all of the same kind, and kept her own strength while venting, the skin on Barton's chest was still pierced with several holes.

The mastiffs from several nearby houses heard that Dahei was making a fuss, and they all ran to the door to watch the excitement, but none of them dared to come over to make fun of it, they just watched from afar.I wanted to go up and pull Dahei away, but before he got close, Dahei turned his head and bared his teeth fiercely at me, as if he was going to bite me, so I didn't dare to stretch out my hand to pull her.Gesang ran out to call me, clutching his bruised forehead. Uncle Duoji also ran out when he heard the roar of the mastiff. When he saw Dahei fighting with Patton, he was startled. back.At that time, only Uncle Duoji dared to pull Dahei.

Uncle Zhaximu was not at home, neither were Ning Li and Zongzhe, only Zhaximu's wife was cooking.At first she heard the roar of the mastiff, but she didn't pay attention to it. Later, she heard something wrong, and the mastiff was roaring at the door of her house. When she ran out to see, the battle was over, because neither the "principal criminal" nor the "true murderer" was at the scene. Not knowing what to do, he stood at the door pointing and cursing Barton, but Barton didn't dare to shout, and went back into the house disgruntled.

Afterwards, I was severely criticized by Uncle Duoji for the first time. He said: "Fortunately, I went out later, otherwise, something serious would happen! Mastiffs can't see blood, let alone ferocious mastiffs. It's okay." Patton wasn't seriously injured, otherwise Dahei would have killed Patton. It's not that the mastiff killed the mastiff. If Patton is killed, we can't afford it!"

I know that Uncle Duoji said that he can’t afford to pay. Another meaning is that Uncle Zhaximu wants to sell mastiffs. In the eyes of Uncle Zhaximu, their Barton can be sold for at least hundreds of thousands or millions. dollars.Because of this, I feel even less fond of Tashimu's family. People have emotions, and I don't rule out the possibility that my preferences may sometimes be extreme.

Gesang and I were "criminals", and we were trained together with Dahei. Uncle Duoji's "training" to Dahei was not a verbal scolding, but a higher level. He took a few glances at Dahei.Dahei knew that he had made a mistake today, so he didn't dare to say anything, he lay down obediently, and took the initiative to admit his mistake, neither hating me nor Gesang.

I once heard that someone raised a mastiff, because of the scolding of the owner, he couldn't stand it later, and even killed himself by biting his tongue.I was a little scared in my heart, afraid that Dahei would do the same, but luckily it didn't happen later.Dahei is not such a stingy mastiff, even though her self-esteem is very strong, her understanding and unreserved trust in her master has completely surpassed her inner aloof self-esteem.

We are ready to move out.Years of life in the army has cultivated my orderliness. I divided all the things that Gesang moved out into categories and packed them well: those to be taken away and those to be kept were divided into two piles; food and use were also divided into two piles. categories; daily necessities and travel supplies are also placed separately.After sorting and wrapping things one by one, it was dark, and the three of them were very tired, sitting on the carpet and panting.Uncle Duoji smoked a pipe and said, "Do it early, so that you don't mess up when you get it. When everyone is busy tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we can have a free time and go to another house to help."

On the third day, the villagers were ready to move out. Each family filled the car with the things they needed, and some families with a slightly larger population even packed two or three cars.

The horses pulling the carts didn't move fast, and the cattle and sheep also walked all the way to eat. By the time they reached the destination, it was already dark.A bonfire was lit on the grassland, and everyone rushed to set up their tents as quickly as possible.

Probably the first time ever to spend the night in a tent on the prairie, I woke up early the next day.It was still daylight, and there was still a trace of night on the green grassland.I walked out of the tent, stretched a lot, and suddenly froze.

I found two or three black dots not far away that were slowly moving towards this side, and slowly approaching, I found that it was a young Tibetan woman with a little Tibetan girl. The little girl looked like five or six years old. , and a big mastiff with black hair and yellow claws.

The big mastiff looked more majestic than Dahei, very mighty, with a red necklace around its neck, and its huge head looked even more terrifying.Seeing strangers and strange mastiffs invading his own territory, Dahei immediately roared at the intruders.The mastiff also arched its back and roared at Dahei. If its owner hadn't tried his best to hold him back, that big guy would have rushed up immediately and fought with Dahei.I was afraid that Dahei would suffer, so I picked up a fence on the grass and held it in my hand, and then shouted at Dahei: "Dahei, come back!"

The little girl suddenly said timidly to the young woman: "Grandma, he is not from our clan, he can speak Chinese just like Abba!"

The young woman patted the little girl's head and said, "Damn, don't talk nonsense about her." Then she grabbed the big mastiff by the chain and yelled, "Moomao, come back!"

I am very surprised, why did the mastiff raised by this Tibetan woman take a Chinese name?
Seeing Maomao's aggressive appearance, Dahei knew the truth that the first to speak is the strongest, and he will attack Maomao as soon as he rushes forward.

"Dahei, come back!" A loud shout shocked Dahei, and Dahei turned around resentfully, and saw his master standing in front of the tent and staring at her, so he had no choice but to walk back slowly and walked to the sheep's house. Standing beside the group.
