There is a folk saying, called chicken but six years, dog is not more than eight years, this sentence is also mentioned in the Western Han Dynasty ancient book "Yi Demon", which means that they are with people all day, observing people's every move, a smile, but also speculating on people's shallow psychology, over time, it is easy to understand human nature. You can understand and even imitate people's words, imitate people's behavior, and even do some strange things, in our folk words, it is a fine.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, there was such a family in the liaoning territory. The family's surname is Song, the family's four children, the eldest and the second missing on the way to kanto, died early. Only a pair of brothers and sisters who lived, the third and fourth, arrived in liaoning, life finally got better, but their parents died in middle age and died of illness. Only the two brothers and sisters are left to live with each other.
The brothers and sisters were afraid of the neighborhood bullying, so they got a big yellow dog, the dog was mighty and strong, and compared with the wolf, it was not much more. When the farmer is busy, the big yellow dog looks after the nursing home and waits for the owner to return. When the farmer was idle, he and his brother and sister went up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits. Catching wild game, the two men and a dog improved their food, and in those years of scarcity, the big yellow dog made a great contribution to the brothers and sisters to fill their stomachs. It was also the only playmate in those lonely years.
The Song brothers and sisters are also good to this dog, as long as they do not starve to death, they will not let the dog starve. After seven or eight years of relying on each other, the sister of the Song family was going to get married, and in order not to let her sister be bullied in the in-laws' family, the brother married half of the family property. The mother-in-law's family is in the neighboring village, honest and responsible, hard-working and self-motivated family.
Life gradually got better, but the big yellow dog gradually grew older, no longer strong, and the hair was thinner. It turned out that the dogs in the village all took a detour and were respectful. Now I dare to bark wildly in front of the big yellow dog.
The sister of the Song family gave birth to a son after marriage, which is very cute. Rural people love to give their children a low name to support. This big nephew's nickname is Tiger Egg. The tiger egg is one year old, and the sister of the Song family takes advantage of the leisure after the autumn harvest to take the child back to her mother's house to visit her relatives.
The brother is still unmarried, and he loves this nephew who has a blood connection to the extreme. Left Tiger Egg, right lead rhubarb, every day in the village mouth under the big willow tree, see people said, this is the nephew of the big nephew. Occasionally he said to the big yellow dog, you now have a little master, a good friend, you must protect him well. The big yellow dog seemed to understand, and the essence of the cloudy eyes suddenly appeared, firm and warm.
Tiger eggs are not afraid of rhubarb, as if they are naturally familiar, and their small body that is still unstable always has to climb on the back of rhubarb. His uncle put it on the back of the rhubarb, and he was very happy, very happy.
On this day, the uncle of the Song family carried a flat burden to the city to sell mountain goods, and exchanged money to buy food for the eldest nephew and supplement nutrition. Tiger Egg and his mother stayed at home with their childhood playmates and made a meal. Before leaving, he also told the big yellow dog to take good care of the house.
There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have bad luck and bad luck. You will never know, the accident and tomorrow which one comes first. The Uncle of the Song family sold things in the city for some meat, eggs and milk, and bought a few feet of flower cloth for his sister and nephew. When he walked to the big willow tree at the mouth of the village, he saw the chaos of a place, a beach of blood. I don't have a good heart, I'm afraid it's not a horse bandit.
Hurriedly ran home, and the moment he returned to the door, the Uncle of the Song family panicked. Only to hear the miserable cries from the house, there was a pool of blood at the door, and the big yellow dog was lying on the ground dying. Watching this chaotic scene in the house must be a fierce conflict. The Uncle of the Song Family rushed back to the house, only to see her sister holding the tiger egg in her hand and crying loudly, and the tiger egg was full of blood, but there was no trace of anger.
It turned out that not long after the Song family's uncle entered the city, the nearby horse bandits rushed into the village to burn and loot, and the horse bandits took advantage of the autumn harvest, and every household still had surplus grain, went down the mountain to grab it, and saved some grain for the winter. The horse bandits came to the Song family, snatched the grain in the rice jar, saw that the Song family sister was beautiful, they were going to snatch it back as the lady of the press, the Song family sister resisted death, the big yellow dog saw the situation and went up to bite the horse bandit, the horse bandit was furious, swung a knife and cut, but unexpectedly cut the tiger egg in the arms of the Song family sister. Tiger Egg was killed on the spot. Pity him for his young age, but he died a tragic death at the hands of inhuman horse bandits.
The big yellow dog went crazy and went up to bite the horse bandits, but he was old and weak, and he was brave enough to live up to the year. After being kicked and slashed by the horse bandits, he lost his combat effectiveness and collapsed to the ground. The horse bandits wanted to end up with the lives of one man and one dog, and it happened that the horse bandit's boss called him to retreat. He could only stop there and leave unwillingly.
The Uncle of the Song family was furious and was about to chase after the horse bandits with a knife in the direction where the bandits had left. But the vast heavens and the earth, the mountains, the horse bandits do not know where, where to go to avenge the snow hate. Under the persuasion of the villagers, he had to give up for the time being and first take care of his sister.
The news spread back to the mother's home in a neighboring village, and the brother-in-law's family came to pick up the sister and brought enough grain for the Song family's uncle to spend the winter. When something like this happens, no one can do anything about it. The two families immersed in grief can only think in the aftermath.
Under the care of the Song family's uncle, the big yellow dog miraculously came back to life. It's just that the big yellow dog no longer barks, no longer moves, and sleeps after eating every day, but there is always a touch of fierceness in the eyes.
Three months passed, and it was winter. One night, uncle of the Song family had a dream, dreaming of an old man, wearing a yellow dress, and said to him, thanks to the kindness of your Song family for many years, I wanted to accompany you on your last journey before going into the mountains to cultivate, but unexpectedly this happened, I am indebted to your family. Recently, my health has recovered greatly, and it is time to take revenge on snow.
The Uncle of the Song family woke up at dawn and found that the big yellow dog in the family was missing. Searching the whole village, but did not find a trace, asked the villagers, said that they did not see. Uncle Song could only give up, thinking that he might come back one day.
Spring blossoms and the snow melts. The sealed mountain road can finally be passed, and the son of the Sun family in the village, who is an apprentice in the city, returns to the village to visit his relatives. Speaking of a strange thing, Chinese New Year's Eve that night, the horse bandits in the nearby mountains were eating sea plugs and getting drunk. In the village, an old man emerged from nowhere, followed by a group of wild dogs. Without saying a word, the old man commanded a group of wild dogs to fight with the horse bandits. In one night, the corpses were strewn across the field, and the blood stained the entire village red, except for the young master of the Li landlord's family who was kidnapped by horse bandits in exchange for ransom, no one in the village survived.
When the Uncle of the Song family heard this, he remembered the dream of that night, and cried and said, "This is my old dog Chengjing, who has avenged my hatred." “
After hearing this, the villagers thanked the big yellow dog for the good deeds done for the Song family and the village. So every family contributed and built a small temple in the village, and incense was offered. Strange to say, since then until the founding of the country, there have been no major disasters in the village.
