Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 51 Note: Is Dahei okay now?
Hoh Xil is so beautiful, like a dazzling pearl, shining brightly. Her Mongolian language means "blue mountain ridge", also known as "beautiful girl".There are about 100 million precious plateau animals living there, but sadly, many animals are being hunted by poachers and are on the verge of extinction.

There, I joined an anti-poaching organization at my own expense (for the story of my joining the anti-poaching organization in Hoh Xil and fighting with the poaching organization, please refer to "Tibetan Mastiff Notes: Poaching in Hoh Xil"), and successfully got a gun.The founder of this organization is a retired veteran, and now this organization is basically full of people who have retired from the army.Although it is tantamount to a crime to own firearms without the permission of the state, the appearance of our organization has given the poachers a blow in this largest no-man's land in China where poaching is rampant.

Later, after hard work, we finally obtained the recognition and permission from the local government.

Two years later, after we had cracked down on a poaching ring, I went to the nearest town and called home.My mother scolded me sadly, annoyed me and left without saying goodbye again.The younger sister told me that Dajie came to Beijing once and brought me a mountain climbing watch. Now that he has served in the army, he called just a few days ago and left me his phone number.

I dialed the phone number given by my little sister, and the person who answered the phone was the instructor of the army.When I heard the voice, it turned out to be so familiar, and only after I inquired did I know that the unit Dajie was in was actually the one I was in when I first joined the army.I was so excited and excited that I stuttered a bit when I spoke.

The instructor heard that it was me. Although so many years have passed, he still hasn't forgotten the kid who kept causing him big troubles. He still calls me "troublemaker" and "death" in that angry and protective tone. to not fix".After I greeted him, I asked about Dajie's situation.

The instructor was silent for a while, and finally said: "This kid is wilder than when you first joined the army, and he beat me up last time. You see, I'm already old, and I still have to be beaten by you little bastards." Hit, no, the bridge of the nose is still blue! I'm thinking about letting him go tomorrow!" I said, "Instructor, call him over for me, and I'll tell him."

Dajie knew that it was I who called him, so he was very happy and willing to accept my persuasion.Dajie said that he just couldn't understand the arrogance of those high-ranking soldiers. He also said that he was among the top in all assessments in the army, and he was very proud of it.The instructor interjected next to him and said, "It's just to see that you still have such a good idea, otherwise I would have let you go..."

Dajie still failed to get rid of his stubborn temper in the end, the instructor looked at my face and endured him all the time.Later, before the end of the service period, he went out to make troubles during his vacation, and broke the legs of a street gangster, so he had to be fired from the army. Of course, these things were all later.

Dajie told me the phone number of Uncle Dorje’s family, and said that their family had moved to Shigatse, and Uncle Dorje’s eldest son opened a big restaurant in Shigatse, which was very luxurious.

Holding the last bullet Gesang gave me in my hand, I called Uncle Dorji's home.It was Gesang who answered the phone. He didn't expect that I would call him, so he was very happy and said, "Abba went to the hospital to see a doctor. Brother, how are you doing now? I miss you, what? Come to see us when you are free? Dahei misses you too! After you left, she didn't eat a bite of food for three days, and ran to the entrance of the village every day, sitting there watching for a whole day, and no one could stop her..."Ge Sang said a lot of what he wanted to say to me in one breath, and he said it eagerly, and said that he would wait two years and go to the army when he was old enough.

I couldn't catch a word, and after he finished speaking, I said, "Have the little mastiffs grown up? I guess they won't remember me when I go there in the future."

Gesang said "hmm" without the initial excitement and joy in his voice. After a while, he said, "Brother, do you know? Dahei has never given birth to a cub since you left. The whole family of Yangjin I moved to a big city in the interior and lived in a high-rise building. Mao Mao was locked on the roof of the building, and then couldn't hold back the boredom, rushed out crazily, fell from the eighth floor, and fell to his death..."

I am very sad, mastiffs originally belonged to animals on the prairie, they are not suitable for living in the city, the prairie is their root, their life!I asked again: "Where are the princes? They have grown very big, right?"

Gesang remained silent for a while again, as if he was afraid that speaking out would make me even more sad, and finally he couldn't help but say: "The prince and the prince have grown very big, and the living conditions on the prairie are getting worse and worse. It was very biased at first, the prince went out to grab food by himself, ate the wrong food, and died. The house where the prince stayed moved to someplace, and there was no contact with him. Zhaximu also sold Gege and made a profit. A lot of money, and now their whole family has moved to Lhasa. Only the princess is still living well. According to Uncle Xianba, she is becoming more and more like Dahei now..."

"How is Dahei now? After leaving the prairie, she will never have a chance to fight wolves again?" I endured the pain in my heart and finally asked.Gesang said: "Now I don't live on the prairie. Dahei doesn't have much to do all day long. Her left foreleg is still a little limp. She lies at the door of the house basking in the sun and thinking about her thoughts. She still mentions beating wolves? Now Wolves on the prairie are becoming less and less common, many grasslands have turned into deserts, and some trees are dead. Do you still want to watch two packs of wolves fight like before? I’m afraid there will be no more chances..."

Gesang was silent, and so was I. The number of purebred mastiffs on the prairie is decreasing year by year, and the number of wolves on the prairie is also decreasing year by year.Grasslands are turning into deserts, deserts are devouring oases, and human beings living on the edge of crisis have not yet woken up. When will they wake up, intelligent human beings? !I felt so bad that I wanted to cry... There was a long silence... Hang up the phone, there was sadness on both ends of the phone!
I imagine that Dahei at this time should be lying on the gate of the concrete steps basking in the sun. She has nothing to do, maybe she just watches the sun rise and set every day, thinking about her heroism when she fought against the wolves, and maybe she will still be able to do so. Think of me again, and all that's left in my heart is sadness, like me...
