"Meow!"
As soon as Ding Sha walked into the hall, he heard Egg Yolk's extremely loud breathing and screaming.
Then Du Rourou exclaimed.
Ding Sha took two quick steps to the cashier counter at the door and asked, "What's wrong?"
When I walked over, I saw a big dog, dirty and covered in mud, squatting innocently at the door.
"Where did the dog come from?" Ding Sha was a little confused.
"I don't know. I was just trying to pick up Egg Yolk and comb its fur when it came in from the door and scared Egg Yolk." Du Rourou said.
But the dog was very well behaved. It had been sitting on the mat at the door since a while ago, and all the mud and water on its body had dripped onto the mat.
"Oh, let's take it to the backyard to give it a bath first. It's too dirty." Ding Sha looked around, somewhat confused about how to take it to the backyard.
The dog wagged its tail. Ding Sha took a piece of dried chicken with an egg yolk and carried the dog all the way to the backyard.
Mrs. Tong was frightened by the dog, "What a dirty dog!"
Ding Sha said this casually, and Mrs. Tong picked up the mop and started mopping the floor hurriedly.
Ding Sha stuffed the dried chicken into the dog's mouth, turned on the solar water pipe in the yard, and he and Du Rourou started to rub mud for the big dog.
It took a lot of pet shampoo to clean the dog. The dog just squatted there, lifted its feet when I stretched out my hand, and changed its position when I patted its butt. It was so well-behaved.
After washing it, Ding Sha realized that it was a big golden retriever, quite old, with a pale face.
His eyes were black and shiny, and his mouth was open with his tongue sticking out, making him look like he was smiling.
Ding Sha couldn't help but touched it again and again.
It looks very polite...
However, it really took a lot of effort to blow dry it. Two people took turns blowing it, and their arms were sore. In the end, Xiao Jun did the finishing work.
The sweet-smelling dog walked up to Dingsha and rubbed her legs, staring at her with his grape-like eyes.
Ding Sha rubbed the dog's head several times with great pleasure. The thick and dense feel was so appealing that he couldn't let it go.
But seeing how polite it is, it must have an owner.
The dog didn't like to move much. It lay on Ding Sha's feet and then stopped moving. Its heat and thick fur all fell on her legs. Ding Sha squatted down and touched it.
"Are you lost?"
"Do you remember where you live?"
"Shall I take you home?"
The dog just opened its mouth and yawned, then put its head on its crossed front paws, occasionally looking up at Dingsha, with a very gentle look in its eyes.
Ding Sha sighed, and after staying in the sun for a while, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he brought the dog into the house where they lived.
As soon as the dog came in, he sniffed everywhere and then went straight to little Ping'an's crib.
Ding Sha was startled and followed over, only to see the dog sniffing non-stop.
Little Ping'an was in Aunt Zhao's room. Gouzi walked around the crib twice, and then Aunt Zhao came back holding Ping'an.
"Wow! Where did such a big dog come from?" Aunt Zhao came over and saw the dog.
"He ran here by himself," Ding Sha clapped his hands at little Ping'an, who immediately reached out for a hug.
Ding Sha held him in his arms and took his soft little hand to touch the dog's head and big ears. It was the first time for Ping An to touch a dog.
The feeling is different from touching an egg yolk. The egg yolk is a very soft piece of fat, while the dog's flesh not only feels much thicker, but also has tendon meat from running around.
Xiao Ping'an made a gurgling sound of laughter.
Ding Sha played with him for a while, "Aunt Zhao, take Ping An to take a nap after dinner. He didn't sleep well last night and was making a fuss the whole time."
Aunt Zhao left again with the doll in her arms. Ding Sha thought about it, took a silk scarf and tied it around the dog's neck as a leash, wanting to take the dog for a walk nearby to see if he could find his owner.
The dog obediently followed her out of the house, walking slowly along the way. When Dingsha walked, it walked, and when Dingsha stopped, it stopped too.
Dingsha just loves it so much.
After walking around for a while, Ding Sha didn't meet anyone looking for a dog, so he could only buy a leash from a pet store when he passed by, tie it up with the dog, and take it home.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the lobby full of orange-red firefighters. Ding Sha asked Du Rourou, "Why are there so many people?"
Du Rourou was busy squeezing juice. "There was a woman in the next street who burned down her house in a fit of rage because her husband cheated on her. All the neighbors suffered as a result. They just put out the fire and came to eat."
"There were a few soldiers from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. They looked about 18 or 19 years old, with baby faces, handsome and shy. Brother Xiao recognized their accents and went back to make some sour beef hotpot for them."
Du Rourou said, "Didn't you find the dog's owner?"
“No,” Dingsha shook his head, “I’ll take it to the backyard and come over to help right away.”
As he was talking, he saw the captain who came to pay the bill glance at the dog and suddenly shouted, "Black Mountain!"
The dog happily took two steps on the spot, and because he was being led, he tried hard to control his paws and stuck out his tongue with joy.
Dingsha blinked. "Your... dog?"
The captain came over and said, "The team's dog is about to retire."
He squatted down and rubbed the dog's head a few times, and Heishan rolled around with joy.
"Heishan is a well-organized group," the captain said. "We were on a mission today. We were originally going to rescue people over there, but we received a call to put out a fire on the way back, so we came back here. Heishan was also covered in mud."
"The firefighters were afraid that the fire would burn his fur, so they didn't let him out. We only found out later that he was missing."
The captain seemed unhurried. "Heishan knows the way home, but we are just afraid that he will be mistaken for a stray dog if he doesn't have a collar and a leash."
"Some team members are searching for it on the road. Now that it's here, I can notify them to go back quickly to eat and rest."
The captain took out his cell phone and made a call. After saying a few words, he hung up.
"Heishan is very well behaved. Although he was a little dirty when he came here, he was very polite and didn't move around at the door." Ding Sha said with a smile.
"That's good. Heishan likes to go to other people's homes to play. He probably came here because he thinks your place is nice." The captain also smiled.
Du Rourou interrupted, "Captain, why is it called Black Mountain?"
"Because when it was little and came to us on its own, we were watching a Chinese Ghost Story. Not only did it watch with us, it also barked excitedly when the Black Mountain Demon appeared, so we simply called it Black Mountain."
Heishan had been squatting at his feet obediently. Without instructions, he made no unnecessary movements. Du Rourou couldn't help but touch him a few more times, "So good!"
"Black Mountain retired this year, and its trainer plans to take it home to retire," the captain said. "It's very well behaved, and you can pet it more often during non-working hours."
Du Rourou simply touched it several more times.
Montenegro just looked at her meekly.
In the end, the fire department was given a 50% discount. The captain couldn't win the argument with Du Rourou, so he said with a wry smile that he would never come again. How would the boss make money if he came again
Ding Sha turned around and said to Xiao Jun, "It seems like we should raise a dog. Do you think it would be okay for us to raise one like the Black Mountain?"
