1 "Fang Xin Lesson"

Professor Fang Xin brushed his white hair, recalled a bit, and suddenly realized, yes, the situation of that day, he recalled it again.

On the opening day of the class, less than fifty people came to the large classroom, which could accommodate 3,000 students, and sat sparsely around the classroom, and the large classroom seemed empty and too quiet. Fang Xin did not care, originally there were fewer students who chose this major, they did not know the value and significance of this discipline at all, he sorted out the documents, and opened the class with unique humor: "Today, the students who should come are coming," he pointed to the students who were sleeping in the rear, "The students who should not come have also come, it has really exceeded my expectations." I know, I'm not very handsome, I heard that Miss Lang, who taught biology yesterday, the lady with some exaggeration around me, was in class, and the classmates filled the classroom. ”

The atmosphere at the scene was slightly relaxed, and Fang Xin turned the topic around, saying: "I know that many people think that my research topic is too simple and too simple. What to study, dogs, what is there to study in dogs? The streets are full of people, big ones, small ones, screaming, biting people. Do any students feel that they don't know much about dogs and still need to learn? ”

The audience whispered, but no one admitted that they didn't know anything about dogs, Fang Xin smiled slightly, and said: "Well, I'll test everyone, first come to a simple, here are some slides, please tell me, the common name of these dogs." ”

A dozen slides in a row, not a single person said the names of the dogs, everyone saw that the dogs were dogs, who knew what dogs were dogs. Fang Xin thought for a moment and said, "This question may be too professional, let's ask a simple question, as far as you know, what kind of dog is the most vicious dog in the world?" ”

The atmosphere in the classroom was suddenly lively, some people said wolfhounds, some people said hounds, bulldogs, Siberian dogs, huskies, and anything. Fang Xin noticed that when there was a lot of discussion, there was a big man sitting in the middle of the class, without saying a word, with a contemptuous smile on his face, which was the first time Fang Xin noticed Zhuo Muqiangba.

Fang Xin waited for everyone to talk almost, and only then released a photo of the Tibetan mastiff, a purebred lion's head shaped iron clad in gold, and someone in the audience immediately shouted: "This is a lion!" At that time, the mastiff had not been hyped at all, and the people who knew the Tibetan mastiff were even more pitiful, Professor Fang Xin said: "This is the most ferocious dog recognized in the world, its name, called the mastiff." He turned and wrote a large mastiff character on the blackboard, and continued, "This kind of dog is produced in the Qinghai-Tibet region of China." The best mastiff dog, at the first bend of the Yellow River, a place called Hequ, this mastiff is a standard river mastiff. The fiercest and most loyal mastiff is produced near Dama County in Tibet, which is a high point on the plateau and the geographical environment is very harsh. There are many kinds of mastiffs, according to the Kangxi Dictionary, mastiffs, dogs four feet for mastiffs, sexual fierceness, protectors, can fight beasts. In layman's terms, a tall, fierce and aggressive dog who is loyal to the Lord is called a mastiff. Tibetans raise mastiffs to guard the sheep and resist the vicious and cunning highland wolves, and there is a local saying that a mastiff is three wolves, and a good mastiff can fight three wolves alone. ”

Professor Fang Xin opened the conversation box and began to tell various stories about mastiffs, and the students also listened with relish, not expecting that there were such strange dogs in the world, and there were so many legendary stories. Professor Fang Xin was talking about the excitement, and the big man in the middle said, "Since the professor is an expert who specializes in dogs, then I want to ask, what is the most powerful mastiff?" ”

The students all stopped again, not expecting that the mastiff would also be divided into high and low levels, and there was a distinction between strong and not powerful. Fang Xin also looked at this classmate differently, unexpectedly, there were also classmates who took the exam teacher, of course, he would not show weakness, immediately said: "This classmate asked well, yes, mastiffs also have species, there are also blood differences, as far as the current research is concerned, mastiffs are scattered from Tibetan areas to Eastern Europe, to Northern Europe, and now preliminary statistics, there are three kinds of five genera and eleven major departments, of which, the more perfect mastiffS have already said, it is a river mastiff, and the most fighting, the sharpest mastiff, should be a party mastiff, but due to the similarity of blood, Their speed, physical fitness, and fighting instincts are not much different. Therefore, in Tibetan areas, only in Tibetan areas, there are mastiff dogs that are more powerful than other mastiffs, which are not born, they are domesticated by man, and Tibetans call nine dogs and one mastiff, that is so. ”

At this time, the students were more interested and wanted to hear what the "nine dogs and one mastiff" was all about. Professor Fang Xin said: "That is a cruel competitive choice, in order to get the best mastiff, often put ten young mastiffs of the same age in a pit, there is no food, maybe only very little food, only enough for one mastiff to eat, these ten mastiffs, must go through cruel competition, and finally only one mastiff can survive, it either grabs a little food each time, or it must swallow the same kind." You all know that dogs are wolf breeding, they still retain a lot of wolf characteristics on the body, in the wolf family, there are such rules, in the same group, living wolves, is the same kind, once dead, that is food, especially in the extreme cold areas, the characteristics of this wolf is more fully revealed, Siberian wolves, the reason why fierce, powerful, do everything, is because they have this terrible concept of survival, in order to survive and evolve in the face of the most cruel natural environment. The only mastiff that survived was the legendary mastiff among mastiffs, because it had the strongest survival idea and the most tenacious life ability. ”

Professor Fang Xin thought that he had already spoken very convincingly, and the students in the audience listened to it like crazy, as proof, but when he looked up, the big man sitting in the middle still had a slight contemptuous smile, and that kind of smile made Fang Xin feel very uncomfortable. He thought about it, oh yes, there is another saying, that is, the secret saying in some places in Tibetan areas, this statement, even many local Tibetans have never heard of it, he said: "Regarding the nine dogs and one mastiff, there is another saying, that is, the heavenly mastiff, this kind of saying, more mysterious, more cruel, more remote, also ... Older. Tibetan mastiffs are also dogs, and like most mammals, they give birth to four to six cubs per litter, and only a few can reach seven, if it is said that eight at a time, it is rare. However, when a female mastiff gives birth to nine mastiffs at a time, then one of the dogs will become a mastiff god. The mastiff has only eight nipples at most, that is to say, there is always a mastiff who cannot eat breast milk, so in the end, just like the artificial creation of an environment of nine dogs and one mastiff, this time it is predestined, in which there will be a young mastiff, eating its eight brothers, and finally, it will eat its mother, and finally become the mastiff among mastiffs. Legend has it that this mastiff, with an extremely fierce temperament, can hunt grizzly bears as adults, and throughout the plateau, it will replace the highland wolf and polar tiger as the end of the food chain. However, this kind of legend is not widely circulated, and no one can verify this kind of thing at all, so all along, people have only regarded it as a legend. Rather than this cruel legend, I personally prefer to believe the claim that nine dogs and one mastiff were artificially created. ”
