The guards of the palace would no longer use knives at this time. At night, holding the crossbow on alert, as everyone approached, the torch finally caught the sight.
I saw a dog lying on the front of the bushes. At this moment, the most thought of was a wolf. But if you look closely, it doesn’t look like it. Wang Juan moved forward and the torch moved forward. Take a closer look. Wang Juan froze for a moment, and immediately said distressedly: "It's a dog. It's difficult to give birth. I'm working hard there. A puppy has come out. Oh, I don't have the strength."
"Why did the dog run up the mountain? Wild dog? Hunter's hound?" Zhang Xiaobao also leaned forward and took a closer look. It was indeed not a wolf, a gray dog, who was trying to give birth to the child in his stomach.
It may be that the second puppy is a little older and has a dystocia. The barking just now serves as a warning, but unfortunately, it seems that it is obviously weak. The consequence is that the puppy and the big dog in the belly will die.
Wang Juan turned his head and said to the other people: "Hurry up and cook something thinner, quicker, especially the meat. Give it to the big dog. It's sluggish, doggie, hold on, right away. It will be fine."
Wang Juan didn’t know what was going on with this dog, but she knew that she had no strength and it would be troublesome. She couldn’t go there and help pull, so she could only be anxious. The only way was to see if the dog would do it. Eat, you can regain your strength after eating.
Someone here immediately did what Wang Juan said, and began to cook the porridge there. Zhang Xiaobao first got some honey from a wild beehive he found, put it on the knife, stretched it flat and took a look. Can dogs eat.
The big dog barked, looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and looked at the honey on the knife handed in front of him. When he could wait to move, he was pulled back by Wang Juan.
"Don't feed the dog honey, wait for the porridge." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao. Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said nothing, but he was always nervous for the dog. Don't look at it as a dog, but for the birth of a new life, It makes people feel full of sacredness and expectation.
It’s not just him, the other people are also anxious. Li Xun turned anxiously beside him and said to the dog: “Give birth to the little guy and give you good food in the future. If you hear it, you must insist on giving birth. I will take care of your puppy when that happens."
The dog had no energy to bark at everyone, and was still struggling there, with a trace of sorrow in his eyes.
The porridge here is finally cooked. In fact, the meat is cooked. Let people crumble it. Put it in water and boil it without water. Just warm it up. There is a guard who raised a dog in the house before. I gave it to him later in the evening, tested the temperature with my hands, and put it in front of the dog's mouth.
I even spilled some on purpose. Waiting for this person to step back. Everyone looked at the dog with concern. The dog’s eyes had lost much energy. They looked weakly at the few people in front of them, and then at the porridge. After sniffing it twice, he finally put out his tongue and licked it.
Everyone was afraid that the dog would not eat it. Seeing that it ate it, they had more hope in their hearts. They continued to watch. The dog ate a small bowl and lay there and stopped moving. After a while, his stomach began to move.
The puppies started to go out little by little. Wang Juan grabbed Zhang Xiaobao's hand nervously and yelled softly from there, "Come on, come on, come out soon, work harder, come on, you can be a mother."
Under the concern of the family, the dogs on the ground exerted all their strength and finally gave birth to the puppy a little bit. When the second dog came out, everyone continued to wait, but after a while, there was no third The dog came out, and the big dog began to lick the puppy with its eyes closed.
The puppy also twisted its body and crawled under the mother's belly. Two puppies and one dog found a teat, closed their eyes and sucked, while the big dog began to eat the remaining porridge and looked at the people around him. The look in his eyes was a little bit less alert.
In fact, the dog would be on guard even if his relatives were around when he gave birth. I don't know why this was just because of the bowl of porridge.
After the remaining bit of porridge was eaten, another bowl of porridge was delivered here. The big dog was not welcome this time, snore for a while, and ate the bowl of porridge into his stomach, and closed his eyes. Gasping, the puppy continued to eat.
Smiles appeared on everyone's faces, and it was a joy to watch the birth of a life, especially when it was born with their help.
"Oh, I saw it now. This dog has been injured. Look at that leg. It shed a lot of blood. I don't know if it was bitten or scratched. It's better to take it back and raise it."
Wang Juan has always wanted to raise a dog so that he can make a police dog or something. The big one will naturally not work, but the small one is fine. Bring a family of three back, and the puppy’s food problem will be solved, otherwise they have to feed them other things. .
"How to bring it? This dog will bite people and stun first? It's easy to kill, how can you tie it up?" Zhang Xiaobao's two puppies are very fun, but there is nothing to do. You can't tell the dog. Let it follow it, right
Wang Juan also began to worry. After thinking about it, he suddenly said, "Be a stretcher, lift it, make the stretcher first, and then use a stick to push it onto the stretcher. It is injured. It’s difficult to give birth again, so there shouldn’t be much strength anymore and it won’t hurt others."
Others also wanted to get this family back, otherwise, due to the injuries of the big dog, all three of them might have died on the mountain. Hearing what the little lady said, they started to make stretchers. After a while, the stretcher should be done. Up.
Wang Juan looked at it and said, "Make up another doghouse, put the blanket in it, and see if it wants to go in?"
The people next to him began to make kennels again, and the dog just lay there watching the crowd, not moving, waiting for the two puppies to eat almost, then the big dog brought them in front of him and watched one by one. .
After a while, the kennel was also completed. It was placed on a stretcher with two blankets on it. It was carried to the big dog to see if it was willing to go in. Usually this is impossible, but I don’t know. It was the kindness of these people that made the big dog feel it, or was this dog different from other dogs, and carried the two children into the kennel, and the big dog got into it himself.
It went in, and brought the two puppies to the door of the kennel and protected them with their paws. The person who gave the porridge just now poured the remaining porridge into the bowl and put it on the stretcher in front of the kennel. Above, the two people lifted the whole nest up front and back, and continued on their way.
The big dog may have eaten almost, but did not continue to eat at this time, but stretched his head out to look around, then retracted back to guard the child.
"Xiaobao, how do I feel that it is not like a dog, but a human being. It's so sensible. It's good now. It's very warm inside. The family of three don't have to worry about eating. The wound is no longer bleeding. Wait. Look at it at dawn and help pack a bag."
Wang Juan walked next to the stretcher. After having a dog, he was very happy. He said to Zhang Xiaobao that Zhang Xiaobao also felt that way. Such a dog does not know what the cub will be. If he is also so smart, he can be regarded as a life-saving dog. To use.
"This animal is psychic. This kind of dog is kept comfortable. When you go back, you can build a better kennel. I don't know what you are going to feed it? Is it really going to be raw meat?"
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the dog on the stretcher who would poke his head out to take a look, and said to Wang Juan.
"Of course you can't just eat meat, but also eat food, but you can't put salt. I am going to raise it as a military dog. The big dog is so smart and the puppies are not bad. Two, not bad."
Wang Juan looked eager to try, and he looked very excited. Li Xun was talking next to him at this moment, "Two puppies, can I have one for me, and see who can raise one?"
"No, I want to raise a dog and look for it myself. There are only two in total, and I and Xiaobao each have one." Wang Juan refused directly.
"Then I will raise it myself, go back to find a good dog, and then specifically bully your dog." Seeing that Wang Juan wouldn't give it, Li Xun had to decide how many dogs to go back by himself.
The group of people walked into the middle of the night in such a cheerful atmosphere, and then they found a decent place to stop and rest. On a few bonfires, the one who should sleep is sleep, and the vigil should be the big dog. Beside, let people protect.
The two puppies went to bed after eating. The big dog came out and walked around in the middle of the night. The night watchman didn't care about it. As long as the puppies were there, they would not believe that he would abandon the puppies and leave.
The big dog’s leg was indeed injured. He limped and turned around. He felt that nothing was going on. He spilled urine at the root of a tree, returned to the stretcher, and ate the porridge again. More than half of the bowl, then got back into the nest and fell asleep.
…
The people on the mountain are happy, but many people down the mountain are stupid. Half a month has passed. The shrimp paste collected by Zhang's family has also been collected enough, exactly one thousand jars, but the problem is these shrimp paste It was not collected from the local people, nor from the homes of Liu Shaoqing's four people, but a merchant from outside, that is, the merchant who sold four shrimps, brought those shrimp paste.
Once the Zhang family has collected enough, they will not accept it. No matter what the people of the four families say, even if the price drops again and again, they will not accept it. Those people who do not work and go to catch shrimp are dumbfounded. The shrimp paste in their hands. what to do? I am also counting on the shrimp paste to make a fortune.
These people are actually a little better, at least they just haven't sold their things, and there is not much loss. They can still continue to work on the construction site.
But the four of Liu Shaoqing are different. They are shrimps that they owe money to buy. Suddenly they are worthless. Then who should they go for their money? What should I do with the money on the slip? This is troublesome. The money owed to Zhang Zhong is paid back a little, and there is no interest, but there is interest on the shrimp money.
Counting month to month, if Zhang Zhong continues to deduct their money every month, the remaining money will not be enough to pay off. Everyone has a lot of shrimp paste in his hands. These shrimp pastes are no longer worth the money.
Liu Shaoqing gave the original two hundred jars of shrimp paste from Zhang's family, and he still made a little money on it, but his capital was too great.
At this moment, Zhang's new round of acquisitions began again. A jar of shrimp paste was given for 40 cents. If you want to sell it, you can sell it in the past. The price is far from the previous price, and it is simply impossible to compare.
Liu Shaoqing found the person in charge, pointed to the jars with shrimp paste and said to the steward: "You go and sell these at the price of a twelve-contained jar. Is this your idea? Then? give it to you."
"Master, where can I sell the small one? You can't get the money even if you sell the small one, sir, let's find a way and discuss with the Zhang family and ask them to give more money."
When the steward came, he knew that something was wrong. At this time, he heard that the master asked him to sell the price, and knew that the master had pressed the matter to his head.
