Chapter 5 The Two Dogs
Li Qingyun only knew that his grandfather practiced Xingyiquan. When he was avoiding the war, he learned it from a sloppy Taoist in the mountains.There are still several ancient temples in the mountains around Qinglong Town.Some are temples that believe in Sakyamuni, some are Taoist temples that believe in Sanqing, and some small mountain temples exist, which are local minority beliefs.

When he was six or seven years old, he often went into the mountains with his grandfather to collect herbs. In a vague impression, there was a temple near the Lotus Peak at that time.There are four or five ascetic monks in the temple, and they do not accept the incense of believers. It is said that it is a practice temple.

At that time, Li Qingyun secretly slandered that this small temple is so far from Qinglong Town, let alone not accept incense, even if incense is accepted, few good men and women can walk into the deep mountains where wild beasts are everywhere.

After so many years, there are fewer wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and there are more and more opportunities for ordinary hunters to enter the deep mountains, which seems to disturb their cultivation, so they move to the more secretive deep mountains.Now even Grandpa doesn't know which hill they moved to.

At this time, Li Qingyun walked to the street and listened to the hawking voice shouted in a friendly local accent, bringing his distracting thoughts back to reality.The market in Qinglong Town can be so lively, mainly because there are many farmers who set up stalls.As long as every household has something to sell, they can bring it to the market to set up a stall.If you set up a stall here, you never have to worry about the city officials chasing people out with sticks.

If any foreign staff from the police station or tax office stretches out their hands, it will even arouse the anger of the entire market stall.It happened six or seven years ago. Two civil servants from the city went to the tax office to mix up their qualifications.When the ticket is issued, the stall owner refuses to pay it, so they want to confiscate the stall owner's belongings.

This time, it was considered a hornet's nest, and the whole market was in chaos. The stallholders called friends and friends, and all the people who knew each other in eight villages went up to help.Put the blame on the two newcomers who just arrived.

Before the next day, the two of them fled back to the city in the afternoon, and they were punished, and they were laughed at in the city for several years.

Walking towards the center of the street, more shouts came, and the pedestrians gradually crowded. The villagers of the eleven villages in Qinglong Town were only rushing to this small gathering, so I could imagine how lively it was.

Some sell unfinished vegetables from their own vegetable gardens, some sell small tables and chairs made of solid wood, and young people who are active in their minds sell cheap clothing wholesaled from the city, and some hunters sell hares, pheasants, etc. small thing.

Li Qingyun wanted to go to the place selling aquatic products on West Street, buy a few live fish, and keep them in the space.Raise a few less for experimentation.Large-scale farming requires buying fry in a special place.

Suddenly, the cry of an old hunter caught Li Qingyun's attention.

"The last two puppies are very cheap! One is five yuan, and two are only ten yuan. This is the most authentic breed of hunting dogs in our family. When they grow up, they can kill wolves in the mountains. With these two Hound, as long as you don’t encounter blind bears and wild boars when you go hunting in the mountains, you will be safe and free from illness and disaster.”

The old hunter's voice was loud and he shouted very hard.However, the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, and some people couldn't help talking and laughing in the back.

"This old man is too cunning. These two puppies are very sick. They are all huddled together. They will die at any time. They even sell them for five yuan each, but I won't buy them for fifty cents."

"That's right, this old thief has good dog training, but he's too stingy. There are more than a dozen hunting dogs in the family who are reluctant to sell half of them. This kind of unsightly puppies is reselling. I see him selling sick puppies every three days. Today I don't know whose baby will be deceived?"

Li Qingyun laughed secretly, not all villagers in the mountains are simple, this old hunter deserves to have been dealing with wild beasts all his life, and his mind is so good.I am used to deceiving the wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and I am also used to deceiving the same kind.

After squeezing in, I saw two puppies huddled together, shivering. There was no cage, only a black rag lay on the ground for them to lie down.The two dogs may have just had a full moon, their eyes are still open, there is only a small gap, and they seem to be observing the turbulent environment around them.The dog's feces were stained on the black cloth, which was very obvious.

There are no specialized veterinarians and medicines in mountain villages. If a dog gets sick, 100% to [-]% will die.If puppies get sick, the mortality rate is almost [-]%, especially puppies with loose stools.

The old hunter was annoyed by the ridicule of the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't want it, you don't want it, there are always people who know the goods. Go and go, go away, don't delay the real buyers who come later. "

Some people were afraid of the fierce momentum of the old hunter, laughed a few times, and dispersed most of them, while others were bold and did not move.Li Qingyun also didn't move, and the animal claw scars on the old hunter's face still couldn't scare him.

The so-called hunting dog in the mouth of the old hunter is a kind of Chinese pastoral dog. Some people call it a local dog. It is not suitable for hunting dogs, but it is very suitable for guarding homes.However, mountain villages cannot afford expensive hunting dogs, so experienced hunters have developed some good breeds through generations of exploration.A single attack is not very strong, but a group of pastoral hounds entered the mountains, and in order to protect their masters, they dared to fight with a pack of wolves.

It is hard to tell whether these two bloodlines are pure or not, but the golden fluff is very beautiful.It shrunk into a ball on the black rag, like two yellow gold coins, very endearing.However, some dogs will change their coats and colors when they grow up. The color of the fur is not easy to tell, but the appearance is very similar to that of wolves.

Some people say that the most wolf-like dog is the husky. In fact, a certain line of pastoral dogs is the most wolf-like.It's just that the pedigree of pastoral dogs is too complicated and messy, and no one pays attention to them. There are almost a hundred kinds of pastoral dogs in the countryside, with only one difference.

"It should be just the full moon, right? If you don't have diarrhea, the dog's appearance is not bad." Li Qingyun leaned forward, squatted on the ground and touched the puppy.

The pup made a cute "woooo" sound, stuck out his little tongue, and licked his fingers straight, looking hungry.

The old Orion saw that Li Qingyun was interested in dogs, his eyes lit up, and he looked at his clothes carefully, and said immediately: "I didn't have diarrhea at first, but I got up early today and took this litter of puppies to blow the mountain wind. , drank cold water again, and this is the diarrhea. In fact, the two of them are the largest two in this litter. They eat a lot and drink a lot, so the diarrhea is heavier. It is not a big problem. If you don’t have diarrhea, I will pay 50 yuan for one. Not for sale. If you want it, buy it quickly, and it will be bought by someone else when it is too late."

"Master, I'm from Lijiazhai in the north, and I'm not from the city. I used to keep local dogs at home. I know what the disease is." Although Li Qingyun wanted to buy it, he was not stupid. Block, let's talk about bargaining first.After a few years of living in the city, he still has a small peasant mentality in his heart.

"You... from Li Jiazhai?" The old hunter frowned, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Li Qingyun's eyes, trying to see if he was lying.His eyes are very particular, and ordinary people can't stand his stare.Hunting in the deep mountains, sometimes in emergencies, this glance can even scare a wolf away.

Li Qingyun's heart was slightly shocked, but his expression did not change. After being washed with spatial spring water, his soul and spirit were much stronger than ordinary people. This influence did not hurt or itch for him.

"This is still fake? Who can arrange their own ancestors for the two sons?" Li Qingyun was a little angry, and his tone was not very good.This old man is too careless about his words, and he can talk nonsense with other words, but when it comes to the history, the local people generally do not tell lies, otherwise they will be accused of arranging their ancestors indiscriminately.In the local area, when this matter is publicized, the villagers will secretly stab in the spine, and the family will lose face.

Forget it, let's not bargain, just give him ten dollars.This dog should be able to be fed with spatial spring water for a while. Isn't that how the two goldfish were saved?Li Qingyun thought in his heart that he was going to pay.

The old Orion suddenly stopped his right arm from pulling out the money, and said with a smile: "Haha, the young boy is angry? I am an old man. I remembered now, are you the grandson of Dr. Li's family? Tell me earlier, These two puppies are sent to you. It doesn’t matter if you can’t feed them, wait for more than 20 days, and there will be a litter of puppies at the full moon, then you will come directly to my house and want to hug a few.”

"Uh...why?" Li Qingyun was a little stunned, seeing that this cunning old man didn't look like a generous person.

The people around who were about to watch the joke suddenly dropped their eyeballs. What's the situation?Zhang Mancang, a well-known and stingy old hunter in Qinglong Town, is so generous that people can go to the house and choose a son at will?Did the sun come out from the west today?

"Your grandfather saved the lives of our whole family! Take it away, son of a bitch, and say hello to your grandfather for me." After speaking, Zhang Orion patted the dust on his buttocks and turned away.

Only then did everyone understand what was going on, and some people started to talk to Li Qingyun, asking if he was the first top student in Qinglong Town to be admitted to a university?Li Qingyun's face turned red.In fact, before him, there were also people in the town who had been admitted to colleges from other places, but compared with Sichuan University, his reputation was different, so he was called the only top student in Qinglong Town in recent years.

This was publicized by the teachers of Qinglong Town Middle School (junior high school), and Li Qingyun did not dare to complain to the former teachers even if he blushed.In his mind, only those from Tsinghua University and Peking University are considered top students.At that time, he had the confidence to apply for Peking University, but he heard that BJ's living expenses were too expensive, and he was afraid that his family could not afford it, so he transferred to Sichuan University.After the results of the college entrance examination came out, the total score exceeded the admission threshold of Peking University by 9 points, which made the principal of [Ling] Shan County No. [-] Middle School slapped the table with anger.

Li Qingyun responded a few times, hugged two puppies, and hurriedly escaped from the encirclement of overly enthusiastic villagers.After going to school for a few years and working as a professional programmer for more than a year, I am still not used to the complicated scene.
