Stray dogs (continued)

A year has passed, and stray dogs still lead a simple and hard life. In such an environment, everyone has difficulty helping each other, and the dogs' lives are bitter but optimistic.

One day, Ruxue was enjoying the cool under the tree, when he suddenly saw Xiao Tong running towards the entrance of the village, he called Ruxue, "Go and have a look! The water is coming! " Since Ajie came back to town, Dashui has become a "celebrity"; This flood can be described as a "man of the hour" in the downtown area. When you stamp your foot, the land will tremble (for dogs, of course), and you are called "Brother Water".

They ran to the entrance of the village and saw seven or eight dogs, including Ali, Ajie and Xiaoban, have arrived in the distance. As snow crowded into the dogs, I saw the water inside.

This flood is really extraordinary: at first glance, it looks like a sand skin, but it is tall and big, more like a native dog. It is estimated that which sand skin left a masterpiece when walking around the corner; With a ferocious face and a big man, it is the "keeper" in dogs; He speaks with confidence, but his voice is a little hoarse.

It turns out that the commercial street in the center of the city where Dashui lives has to be rebuilt, and all the old buildings in the past have been demolished to build new ones. Most merchants have moved away, and the remaining few households are unwilling to leave, either negotiating with developers or cold war. Dashui doesn't want to leave. I'm used to living here and moving to other places. First, I don't like my eyes, and then I don't have light on my face. I'm more or less the boss. When I say it, people are blown out and called other dogs jokes.

"I live well, why should you let me go?"! Come to me first, then come earlier than you! " Dashui thought so more than once.

So, it doesn't go. When it sees someone coming, it doesn't care about men, women and children: demolition, mobilization, posting notices, and "policing". It bites people until it bites them away. Whoever comes has to go through the big water first. In the end, no one dared to come, so Dashui was guarding a large and empty street, which was quite "and while one man guards it, ten thousand cannot force it". Those nail households are also happy to have such a barrier. Until one morning, I saw a distant person running in his own direction. Dashui thought, which one is not afraid of death. The man approached, and Dashui looked intently: Wow! He is a strong man with five big and three thick, with one hand still behind his back. Whatever, whatever comes to you! While shouting, he rushed up, and the man was still walking this way. Dashui wondered: Is this a person? Just thinking about it, I saw the man holding the hand behind him to the front. It turned out that the hand was holding a thick wooden stick four or five feet long. Before the flood could react, the man swung the round stick and split it. The flood couldn't dodge, so he got hit on the back and almost fainted in pain. Then the second stick was about to be chopped down again. Dashui endured the severe pain, got up and ran, ran away in one breath, and never went back from there. Wandering for a while, I met Ajie yesterday and came to Xiaozhuang.

"That's a stick as thick as a bowl!" Dashui said that tears would fall.

"What kind of person can beat such a fierce dog into this?" Like snow.

"what a shame! Who recruited him to provoke him! They can take whoever they want! It's aggression! Dashui, where you don't leave your grandfather, you have your own place to stay. You can live here in the future! " Ali said excitedly.

"yes, yes, live here in the future. Although the conditions here are not good, they are at least safe. " Ajie also said.

Dashui put away the tears that were about to fall and kept saying, "Thank you! Thank you! "

"listen up! Brother Shui is new here and unfamiliar here. We must take good care of him! "

As soon as Ali spoke, all the dogs expressed their opinions:

"Don't worry, Brother Shui, as long as there is ours, you will be indispensable."

"live in peace here, everyone is welcome!"

The flood moved me, and tears filled my eyes again.

"Then, Brother Shui, you should follow me first, get familiar with the environment, and then consider what to do." Ali is thoughtful.

"Well," Dashui quickly returned to normal. He glanced at everyone and said, "Well, brother, you are usually busy. How about I go with this little brother?" As he spoke, he looked like snow with his eyes.

Ali didn't think much, thinking that he could follow whoever he wanted:

"Yes, it's called as snow, which is very good! Come, like snow, meet Brother Shui. "

If snow and Dashui meet formally, Dashui says, "Brother! When my brother is in trouble, help him more, and I will never forget you in the future. "

"there, there, everyone should help each other!" " Say it quickly as snow.

"Ruxue has always been loyal and affectionate." Ali added.

in this way, the flood followed like snow to the home in the abandoned sewer. For example, if the snow lets the flood wait outside first, it will go in and clean up the broken bricks, old tiles and broken plastic belts inside before letting the flood in. The big water can be twice as big as snow, and the head can go in. The body is a little hard, and all four legs get down and finally get in. For example, when snow saw the flood go in, it was about to go in, and suddenly the flood came out again.

"ouch! It's too crowded in there! The air is not good either! Can't breathe! " When the flood came out, he shouted and said that he was still touching his chest with his claws, as if he was quite out of breath. "It's a bad habit to live in a spacious place."

"Ali's place is good. It's in a deserted shabby house. It's spacious and airy."

"Come on, it's fine, just get used to it. Not for living, mainly because I think you are a good little brother; Good brother, when my brother is developed, I will never forget you! " Dashuibian said as he got in.

from then on, the flood followed like snow every day. Ruxue did her duty and introduced the situation of Xiaozhuang to Dashui one by one. How big the Xiaozhuang is, how many people there are, how many dogs there are, how many homeless people there are, how many domestic animals there are, which one is the most valuable, where there is food and where you can't go. When I find something to eat, I ask Dashui first, and Dashui is also very polite: "Ahem, how do you say this? Then I will eat first." When you sleep at night, the big water sleeps inside, because it is spacious, and the big water can sleep open, like snow near the exit, although it is narrow, it can sleep open.

It's not easy for Ruxue to feel that she suffered a lot before the flood. Anyway, she is the host and others are guests, so it's right for the host to treat the guests well, so she should be as responsive as possible. Sometimes Dashui says, "Brother, my back hurts a little. Maybe I have an old injury again. So, please help me find something to eat and I won't go out."

Ruxue found half a piece of steamed bread. Dashui took a look and said, "Alas, I'll make do in the countryside. That's not what I ate in the city. Brother, have you eaten popcorn? It's fragrant and sweet. I'll take you to eat once if I have the chance. "

in the eyes of the flood, Xiaozhuang is the best and 1%-rural, because as long as you leave the street where you used to live, it is all rural. But I still like Xiaozhuang from the bottom of my heart. Sometimes I can't sleep at night, so I say: flatten Xiaozhuang, even if I build a green space. Dashui often complains about the poor conditions here: I don't want to drink clean water, and I can't take a bath. My body itches badly and I have fleas; This sewer is a little damp, too. Why don't you get some hay to cushion it? You don't know what kind of place my brother lived in, downtown, crowded, spacious and clean ...

"There are trees on both sides of the road here," Dashui also said. "It's too out of the way and looks rustic. It should have been cut down long ago! We haven't planted trees in the city for many years, but now we are planting lawns, which are large and beautiful and foreign. "

like snow, take care of the flood after running all day. Once they met Ali, and Ali asked how the flood was going. The flood was good, and he praised the snow from top to bottom, how thoughtful and careful it was. Ruxue thought, you are comfortable, but I am exhausted.

Dashui sometimes recalls the glory of the past, how powerful it was, how it became the boss, who it defeated, who it drove away, and how its little brothers obeyed. Finally, he added: Brother, whoever bullied you told me that I helped you vent!

But Dashui is not without its merits. Its enthusiasm and sincerity are well known to all dogs. No matter who you meet, you are like an old friend you haven't seen for years: "Hey! Brother! Why go? Busy? How's it going? How's the family? Have something to talk about! " Sincerely make you want to cry, it seems that you have to take out your heart to live. After a long time, he knows many dogs, such as Xue. He walks on the road and often greets "acquaintances".

One night, just as the snow fell asleep, I heard the sigh of the flood. As snow thinks, you have slept all day, I am not idle at all, and I am not allowed to sleep at night? Sleep like snow, leave it alone. But the sound of the flood is getting louder and louder, and I can't sleep because of the noise like snow. I have no choice but to suppress my inner irritability and ask calmly:

"Brother Shui, can't sleep?" What's bothering you? "

"Brother, you don't know, I live in the city. At that time, it was very lively, and the nightlife just started at 1 o'clock in the evening; Look here! No one can be seen at 9: 3. Otherwise, this is the countryside! Dressing is different! " Said with a sigh: "people in Xiaozhuang just don't understand. Come to a developer and cover this demolition and residential building. How beautiful!" Flower beds, lawns, fountains, what grade is that! Just ask for money, okay? Is the city still developing? "

Ruxue thought: Didn't you used to be a nail house? How dare you talk about others!

"You should get on dozens of forklifts and flatten Xiaozhuang from south to north!"

That night, Ruxue had a dream, which started well. Ruxue married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a litter of puppies. The family lived happily. Suddenly, one day, a forklift came and the whole Xiaozhuang village was bulldozed. Ruxue had to take his wife and children back to flee reluctantly.

One day, Dashui said to Ruxue, Come with me today and treat you to a big meal.

As snow was dubious, I soon came to a yard, and a little brown poodle was tied to a tree at the gate.

It turns out that this domestic poodle is tied to the trunk of the door by its owner every day. I don't know when a stray dog bullied it and tied it to the tree, so he came to provoke it when he had nothing to do. The puppy was angry enough, but there was nothing he could do. I met the flood that day, and the flood said that this matter was handed over to me! The reward for this is a hearty lunch.

Dashui said, "Brother, what should you do here? Don't worry about anything. Let's watch my brother clean it up!"

He and Ruxue hid in the gate, waiting for the dog to come.

After a while, a dirty local dog came and began to tease the little poodle as usual. The little poodle is also very clever, and deliberately leads it to the gate. Dashui watched inside, and when the time was ripe, he "rubbed" and jumped out, and it was just a bite. The dog screamed in pain and ran away with its tail between its legs.

Dashui didn't chase after him, only to "poof" out a mouthful of dog hair that he had just bitten: "Just come out to mix these two times!"

Turning to the little poodle, he said, "Come on, don't worry, he won't come! If you come to me again, promise! "

The little dog didn't dare to neglect. "Thanks, big brother! You go to the side and have a rest first, and eat in half an hour. "

"Okay, okay."

the water, like snow, is waiting at one corner. In less than half an hour, a man came out of the yard and put a small basin in front of the poodle. The puppy cried, "Big Brother, dinner is ready!" "

"ok!" The flood promised, and peace came to the door like snow.

like snow: wow! Noodles with chicken intestines!

how delicious they are! Ruxue hasn't eaten such a big meal for a few days! "Whoosh" to eat, but the water to eat more fierce, the big head kept squeezing, several times almost crowded like snow. Ruxue was only seven or eight minutes full, but she was already satisfied.

A few days later, Dashui shouted again in the morning, "Go! It's time to improve the food again! "

They came to a yard, and a domestic dog was waiting for it at the gate. This time, it was because the owner of the local dog hung some dried sweet potatoes in the yard. Yesterday, a stray dog stole several pieces. Because the dog got a kick from the owner, the local dog couldn't swallow this breath, so he asked Dashui for help.

Dashui said to Ruxue, "I'm lying in ambush in the yard. You find a place to hide outside the door. If there is any movement inside, you block the door. If I don't catch it, it's up to you."

after the command, take your positions. I waited and waited for a long time, but I didn't see yesterday's stray dog come again.

If Snow's hungry stomach is growling, I want to go in and ask, but I still have to wait. Just then, a dirty stray dog came into the yard tentatively. It was a female, and it seemed that she had just given birth to a puppy. Like snow, it's probably it.

Suddenly, there was a messy barking from the inside. As snow rushed to the gate to watch, I saw the stray dog running out with a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes in his mouth. As snow happens to see its eyes, there is anxiety and helplessness in it besides panic: perhaps it is really helpless to make this decision, and there are still a few hungry little creatures waiting to be fed in the nest, but where can there be milk if they can't find food? There seems to be begging in my eyes, begging like snow. Leave me alone, or those little guys will only starve to death. I promise this is the last time.

When Ruxue hesitated, the dog whizzed out from beside it. Dashui and the watchdog chased after each other noisily. At first glance, it ran away, and the flood was urgent:

"Alas! What's the matter with you? Why can't you stop it when I tell you to stop it? " He turned to the watchdog and said, "Sorry, brother, you can't have things if you haven't done well! Let's talk about it next time! "

After that, he was about to leave. The dog was not stupid, so he quickly stopped him: "Don't go, big brother! Today, you have helped me so much and suffered so much. How can you just leave? "

"We agreed to catch it and let you vent your anger, but my little brother just came out to hang out, so clumsy and honest, he let it get away!"

"Take it, take it, it's a gesture from my brother, and I will trouble you in the future!"

"alas, alas, how dare you!"
