During the Taihe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, There was a scholar in Guangling surnamed Yang who raised a dog. Yang Sheng loves the dog very much, goes out to do things during the day with him, the dog is also quite humane, and as the days go by, the two are very connected.
Once, a scholar surnamed Yang went to visit a friend, drank a lot of wine at his friend's house, and then went home drunk. When passing through a meadow on the road, Yang Sheng had a seizure of alcohol, could no longer move his legs, and lay down in the grass and slept.
It was winter, the wildfire was burning, the wind was very strong, and the dry grass was burning all over the field in an instant, forcing Yang Sheng from far and near to the place where Yang Sheng was lying. Yang Sheng was asleep, unaware.
The dog that followed Yang Sheng saw this dangerous situation, and howled loudly around Yang Sheng, as if trying to wake him up, but it was useless, and Yang Sheng was still asleep.
The dog was very anxious, and suddenly it saw that there was a puddle not far in front of it, so it stopped barking, jumped into the pit and rolled, crawled out of the wet body and returned to Yang Sheng, shaking his body and sprinkling the water beads on the hay around him.
The dog ran like this several times in a row, until the grass around Yang Sheng's body was wet, and it didn't stop. Soon, the wildfire was forced here, and since the grass was wet and could not burn, the wildfire bypassed the wet grass and extended into the distance.
After about half a day, Yang Sheng slowly woke up, at this time the wine power also passed, he opened his eyes, saw that the surrounding area was scorched black, only the grass around him was still there, with ice particles condensed on it, and then saw that his dog was crouching nearby, and his hair was also stained with ice particles, shivering in the cold wind.
Yang Sheng understood everything, knew that the dog saved himself, was very grateful to the dog, and took off his coat to wrap the dog and carry it home. From then on, his relationship with the dog grew deeper.
Later, another time, Yang Sheng was walking at night, and accidentally fell into an empty well, the four walls were slippery and very deep, and Yang Sheng could not get out no matter how hard he tried. His dog was walking with him at that time, and when he saw his master killed, he barked loudly in an attempt to get someone to rescue his master, so that he barked until dawn, and his voice was a little hoarse.
At this time, a person just passed by, saw a dog howling at a well, it was very strange, so he walked to the front, looked into the well, and saw Yang Sheng trapped inside.
When Yang Sheng saw the end, Yu was very happy that someone came, and said to him: "You rescued me from fat, and I will definitely repay you generously." ”
The man liked the dog's loyalty very much, so he said to Yang Sheng, "Give me this dog, and I will naturally save you." ”
Of course, Yang Sheng was not happy and said, "This dog once saved my life in a critical situation, and it cannot be given to you." If I want something else, I won't be stingy. ”
The man said unhappily, "If that's the case, then I can't save you." "Say it, make it look like you're going to walk away."
At this time, the dog probed into the well, as if he was signaling something to Yang Sheng with his eyes, and Yang Sheng understood it, and hurriedly shouted at the man and said to him, "Send you the dog." The man immediately pulled out Yang Sheng, tied the dog with a rope, and happily led him away.
On the fifth day after that, Yang Sheng heard the sound of something grabbing the door at night, and hurriedly opened the door to see that his dog had returned, and there was still a rope left around his neck, which was in love with the old master and had secretly escaped back.
