puppy
Still in a dog cage.
This kind of dog cage is not like the kind Zheng Tan saw in the dog meat and cat meat restaurant. The dog cage in front of him is obviously more high-end, and it looks like it is used for pet dogs.
Zheng Tan remembered that he didn't hear anything when he ran from the big locust tree to the villagers' houses today. This should have happened when he was looking for the phone. However, he avoided some dogs when he was looking for the phone. It is unknown who owns the dog cage and the dog.
I moved my ears, and there was no sound of other people around, nor the breath of strangers.
Zheng Tan leaned in front of the cage and looked at it. Since the puppy was too small, Zheng Tan couldn't see why it came. He didn't know what breed it was, and he didn't study it.
The cage door of the dog cage is not locked, but there is a small bayonet stuck there, and the puppy won't open either, so I don't know how long it has been trapped inside.
The night temperature in the mountains is relatively low, although it is not the kind of late autumn and severe winter, but it is not something that a puppy of this size can bear. Dogs, like cats, have a slightly higher body temperature than humans, and the ambient temperature is around ten degrees. I don't know if pups can withstand such a temperature difference.
Aware of Zheng Tan standing outside the cage, the barking dog came towards Zheng Tan and looked at Zheng Tan across the cage. Seeing that Zheng Tan didn't move, it continued to hum, and bit the cage with its small teeth that had not grown much.
Zheng Tan opened the cage door with a hook of his paw, the dog paused, tried it twice, and then ran out.
Although they are still pups, this kind of dog should be relatively large. Compared with the current Zheng Tan, these three pups are not much smaller than themselves in terms of body size.
Regardless of the puppy that ran out, Zheng Tan looked at the other two who were silent in the cage, raised his claws and moved them, but they were still soft. I thought the two pups were dead, but they kicked their legs and opened their mouths twice. Sleeping too fast
Zheng Tan looked around, the pit was too big to block the wind at all, and the wind at night was relatively strong. If three or two continued to be thrown here, it was estimated that they would not survive for long.
But Zheng Tan didn't want to get into this trouble, he had a difficult life, how could he care about these three puppies? It would be more realistic to steal a mobile phone as soon as possible to figure out how to return to the East District compound.
However, Zheng Tan turned around and took two steps, and the dog who ran out of the cage, who was wandering around, immediately came over and rubbed against Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan pushed it aside, and it ran over happily again, probably thinking that Zheng Tan was playing with it.
Zheng Tan simply threw it into the cage, and even after closing the door of the cage, it started humming again. Turn away again.
However, after walking about ten meters, the pace slowed down again. Zheng Tan turned his head and looked at the dog on the edge of the crouching cage that was staring straight at him. The night sky was full of stars, and through the starlight, Zheng Tan was able to get there. It looked like a one-eye patch, which reminded Zheng Tan of the strong cow in the courtyard. It's just that the two look different. Niu Zhuangzhuang's big head is too special. The body proportion of this paparazzi is not like that, nor is it like the kind of dog that is common in the village. The host is abandoned.
Zheng Tan used to listen to the conversations of the dog owners when he was walking in the compound. He knew the attitude of many dog owners. If they were dissatisfied with the cubs of his dog, they would just throw it away.
The owner of the Saharan family said, "The wolf travels for thousands of miles to eat meat, and the dog travels for thousands of miles to eat shit. Knowing that it eats shit and still raising it, I don't care about the lineage or the breed. I take care of it every day and tolerate it digging holes at home. Those who bury their bones in their holes, bite tables and chairs and throw their saliva to 'demolition' rebellion, that must be true love."
Even native dogs are loved, but they are dog breeds that have undergone thousands or even tens of thousands of years of natural and artificial selection. Among them, there are many individuals who are well-versed in human nature, have good understanding, are faithful and obedient, and have strong hunting ability.
As for the string dogs, many famous breeds are also stringed out.
Therefore, the family who threw the dog was definitely not true love.
When Zheng Tan came back to his senses, he had already walked to the cage again, and the dog inside was humming even more and making a whimpering sound.
Gee, so annoying!
Zheng Tan thought, it's fine now anyway, just move it and find a place to drop it.
I remember that there were some low bushes next to the big locust tree, which should be able to block the wind, and there were no people there often.
Holding up the cage, Zheng Tan walked towards the big locust tree. As for the two bags of snacks, I will pick them up later, anyway, no one will pick them up at this time.
On the side of the low shrubs, since the villagers walk less, the vegetation is denser, and the wind is just right.
After putting down the cage and adjusting the position, Zheng Tan folded some branches and put them on the top of the cage as a cover, and pulled some vines and the like around, so it shouldn't be too easy to find, right
After the arrangement, Zheng Tan went back to pick up the two bags of snacks, but when picking up the snacks, he suddenly thought, will the dog starve to death if he starves all night? Shouldn't it? just one night...
Although he thought so, Zheng Tan felt that if the puppy really starved to death, his work would be in vain, so he threw down two bags of snacks and ran to the villagers. The bread driver and his family were already asleep. , some large pots and steamers were set up in the yard. Zheng Tan took a look and found some porridge in one of the steamers. It was still warm. .
Looking around, Zheng Tan found a disposable bowl used by the host's family to entertain guests, and filled some porridge. There were still some hard-boiled eggs in the other cauldron. Zheng Tan found a vegetable bag and packed a few.
When the porridge was brought to the big locust tree, it was no longer hot, and Zheng Tan couldn't find anything to heat it. Anyway, he brought the porridge with the mentality of giving it a try, and put an egg in it. I sighed and ate it myself, and put the egg yolk in it and crushed it together with the porridge.
If this was Zheng Tan in the past, he would definitely not have done this. As for the current behavior, let's just classify it as a derivative emotion from wandering outside.
Looking at the porridge that was stirred into a paste in the bowl, Zheng Tan felt really unappetizing. He didn't know if the puppy could eat it. If the puppy didn't eat it, he wouldn't care.
Open the cage, put the bowl in the corner of the cage, close the cage, retrieve the two bags of snacks, and climb the tree to rest.
In the middle of the night, Zheng Tan heard a rattling noise in the cage. It should be pups eating, and there seemed to be more than one.
When it was almost dawn, Zheng Tan jumped down from the tree to take a look. There was no more porridge in the bowl. Before, the two Zheng Tan thought they would not survive, but now their stomachs are bulging and their breathing is strong. It is estimated that they got up in the middle of the night to eat. Pass.
Vitality is good.
The next day, Zheng Tan continued to run out to find out what the villagers would do at what time. If the villagers went to work in the fields or orchards, even during the day, Zheng Tan would try to steal the phone. However, there was nothing to gain that day. Finally, I went to the driver's house to forage for food, jumped to the second floor to have a look, and once again took a bag of thumb cakes that children eat.
Before leaving, Zheng Tan saw the little girl again. Just like before, the little girl hid behind the door and looked at Zheng Tan. She looked at it very seriously, and she snapped her fingers as if to confirm something.
Zheng Tan didn't know what she was doing. At this time, he also heard footsteps. The busy driver and his wife finally went upstairs. Zheng Tan quickly jumped off the windowsill with the biscuits and ran away.
After taking a shower, the little girl's mother taught her again with a picture book.
The little girl answered the first few questions very well, and the driver and his wife were very satisfied. However, in the end, when her mother thought about it, when she asked "how many legs does the kitten walk on", the little girl answered less succinctly.
"Two... Four..." The little girl who was about to say "two" changed her words when she saw her mother's sudden discoloration, but she felt aggrieved, so she cried with a "wow".
This question is so hard! Is it two legs or four legs
Zheng Tan didn't know the trouble he had caused at all. After searching for two days in a row, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Those villagers, even if they had mobile phones, carried them with them and hid them well, for fear of being touched by someone.
Also, in this era, mobile phones are still very valuable items, not as proliferating as a few years later. However, in this way, Zheng Tan suffered.
The three puppies are in much better spirits now. Zheng Tan will let them out for a while during the day. The three puppies don't run around and just play around. Zheng Tan lies on a tree not far from the cage and watches.
In fact, it would be much better if they could be kept in the cage all the time, but these three puppies still have to pee or poop. It was too troublesome to pull the cage, Zheng Tan cleaned it once and didn't want to do it again, so he let the three pups out, and then threw them into the cage after pooping.
I watched the three dogs during the day, looked for opportunities to steal mobile phones at night, and also found some food to feed the puppies, and it went on like this for a week.
On this day, the three puppies were playing outside. The cat that ate butterflies ran over, and the three puppies ran after them. Zheng Tan did not stop him. According to the situation this week, the three puppies chased after them. If you don't go up, you will come back obediently and don't run far.
But Zheng Tan didn't expect that the cat didn't run away directly, but stopped and walked and played with the three puppies for a while.
It is estimated that the cat usually gets along with the dog a lot, and it does not reject it. It is quite fun. From time to time, it runs over to tease it a few times, and the three puppies chase and bite. The fart is a bit big, even if it has long teeth, it is not very strong to bite.
Zheng Tan didn't care about them, it's a good thing to get along well, and there are cats to play with, let alone Zheng Tan.
Just as he was about to squint for a while, Zheng Tan heard someone's voice.
Looking out from the gap between the leaves, Zheng Tan saw a man in his thirties with a large bag on his back walking this way.
The man's accent on the phone didn't sound like a local, and he felt a little desolate in his clothes.
Zheng Tan didn't think about it, he was now staring at the phone in the man's hand.
