This is an old saying passed down from generation to generation.
Just like when a general dies of old age, it is a great sadness.
Some people may ask, do dogs think so too?
Yes.
A hunting dog, the more powerful a hunting dog is, the less willing it is to obey old age.
When it gets old, the owner no longer takes it up the mountain. Even if it is given good food and drink, it will not eat.
In the previous hunting, Xing Zhiyong was more outstanding. In Zhao Jun's previous life, he had raised a hunting dog. When the dog was seven years old, Xing Zhiyong stopped taking it up the mountain.
Every time the dog sees Xing Zhiyong taking other dogs into the mountains, it sits at home and howls.
Dog howling is different from the sound of dog barking. Dog owners can hear the sadness of hunting dogs from dog howling.
However, it is old and can no longer run. When hunting, it rushed so fast that the wild boar turned around and picked at it, and it could not escape.
Finally, the dog went on a hunger strike.
Xing Zhiyong gave it wild boar fat mixed with cornmeal to eat, but it didn't eat it either.
Xing Zhiyong cut wild boar meat and gave it roe deer meat, but it didn't eat it.
In the end, the old dog starved to death by himself.
Some people may not understand it, but that’s what a real hunting dog is.
When Xu Changlin said, "Let a good dog die on the mountain," the old man straightened his body and looked at the mountains in the distance.
His dog is not old yet, but he is.
Since the year before last, Xu Changlin could not climb the mountain. He persisted until last fall, when he took three dogs up the mountain to fight. The three dogs surrounded a wild boar on the slope and killed it inextricably.
But as a hunter, Xu Changlin couldn't run anymore, so he moved up step by step. When he reached the top, the wild boar had already run away, and each of the three dogs was injured.
If Xu Changlin had been a few years younger that day and could have arrived two minutes faster, the wild boar wouldn't have been able to escape if he fired.
From that day on, Xu Changlin never entered the mountains again. He was afraid that he would kill three dogs because he could not run.
But after that, the three dogs often looked at the mountains and howled, and their appetites became much smaller.
That's why Xu Changlin thought of selling the dog.
At this time, Zhao Jun stepped forward and said to Xu Changlin: "Master Xu, my brother Dalong is okay for hunting."
"Yeah." Xu Changlin nodded and said, "I know."
After saying that, the old man took out the stack of money that Wang Dalong gave him from his pocket, took out two sheets and handed them to Li Baoyu, and said to him: "Just ask Wang Dalong to pay you back thirty dollars tomorrow."
"This..." Li Baoyu looked at Xu Changlin and didn't understand why, so he didn't dare to reach out and take the twenty yuan.
Xu Changlin stuffed the money into the pocket of Li Baoyu's cotton-padded jacket and said, "I don't want to sell the dog to Zhang Laibao, so I can't let Wang Dalong pay the extra twenty yuan."
"Master Xu, you..." Li Baoyu was even more confused. The old man looked like he was desperate for money just now. How could he take back all the money in his pocket now?
Zhao Jun said from the side: "Master Xu wants to find a good owner for his dogs."
After hearing Zhao Jun's words, Xu Changlin took a deep look at him and said: "Qin Qiang has a bad mind. I asked him for three hundred to run away. Zhang Laibao is unreliable, no matter how much money he offers, he can't do it."
Sell it to him."
At this point, Xu Changlin paused and then said: "If you two don't buy it, I will have no choice but to sell it to Wang Dalong. Although this guy is a barefaced renegade, he is still okay with dogs."
"Master Xu, you..." Zhao Jun said, giving Xu Changlin a thumbs up.
In his previous life, he hadn't gone hunting yet.
He doesn't hunt, and Li Baoyu hangs out at home with him.
Without their misunderstanding, Wang Dalong’s dog gang would not have disbanded. Zhang Laibao would not have thought of buying a dog for hunting.
So in his previous life, Xu Changlin sold these dogs to a Xian tribesman named Jin Gaolai.
In the autumn of 1987, Jin Gaolai went hunting in the mountains. Three dogs surrounded a black bear. After a fight, the three dogs forced the black bear up a tree.
Jin Gaolai took aim with his gun from below. He took three aim, but failed to understand the second aim. He shot the black bear through the buttocks with one shot.
The black bear fell from the tree and reached for the gold with a gun.
When Jin Gaolai changed bullets and prepared to fire the second shot, the second shot misfired because the bullet had expanded.
At this time, the three dogs could no longer hold the black bear. The black bear caught up with Jin Gaolai in two seconds and ripped off Jin Gaolai's head with one palm.
The three dogs fought to the death to save Jin Gaolai.
After three dogs died, Jin Gaolai lay down little by little from the hillside and climbed to the mountainside to drive away from the mountain man's shack. Only then was he rescued and sent to the hospital at the foot of the mountain, where he saved his life.
As for the three dogs, everyone only focused on saving people, but no one cared about them.
That night, Xu Changlin learned the news. Early the next morning, before dawn, the old man went into the mountain with a gun.
When he climbed up the slope, he saw the corpses of the three dogs lying on the hillside, with blood everywhere around them.
The old man, who had just celebrated his fifty-ninth birthday, spent three days alone with a gun on several surrounding posts.
It wasn't until the third day that he shot the blind man to death.
Many people say that Xu Pao's sword is still young and he is almost sixty years old. He can still go into the mountains alone to kill bear gallbladders to make money.
But Zhao Jun heard Zhao Youcai say that Xu Changlin went to avenge his dogs.
If he really wanted to kill bear bile, why would he sell the dog? With the dog, he would earn more.
Therefore, Zhao Jun knew that Xu Changlin did not only love money but not dogs.
Arriving in the backyard, Xu Changlin handed the little flower dog into Li Baoyu's hands, and then said to the two of them: "Men, it's already late. I won't keep you here. Come back to my house another day."
Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu naturally knew that this was a way to see off guests, so they immediately said goodbye to Xu Changlin, and they left with their little flower dog.
This little flower dog is only half a year old. It seems that he still doesn’t understand what happened and didn’t struggle. However, he kept wagging his tail at Xu Changlin when he walked away.
Xu Changlin looked at the two of them. When a dog disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard, he turned around and left the house.
When I entered the back room, I saw an old lady wearing a black cotton-padded jacket sitting on the kang wiping her tears.
"Why are you still crying? It's endless." Xu Changlin sat down by the kang and muttered, then picked up the vat on the kang table and took two sips of water.
The old lady said: "After raising it for so many years, I sold it right away."
"Alas!" Xu Changlin sighed, took out all the money from his pocket, and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady pulled down the pile of money with her hands and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Old man, how much did you sell it for?"
Xu Changlin took another sip of water and said: "It's two hundred and eighty to pick a gang, and the small flowers behind the house sell for fifteen."
"How much?" the old lady exclaimed, without even taking the money, she stood up and said, "You're selling three dogs for 280? You sold them so many, how can they treat our dogs well?"
Xu Changlin let out a long breath and said, "Spend more money and he will know how to care for you."
The old lady was stunned when she heard this, and then she thought of the three dogs. She had fed and drank those dogs all these years, and now that the dogs were suddenly sold, the old lady felt empty in her heart.
Thinking of this, the old lady's eye circles turned red again. She wiped her eyes, picked up the money, turned around and put the money in the kang cabinet.
After she put down the money and turned around, she saw Xu Changlin sitting there blankly. At this time, she remembered that her old man would be the most uncomfortable after selling the dog.
But old couples at this age don’t know how to comfort each other.
The old lady just said: "Old man, please rest for a while. I'll cut some meat, make some vermicelli, and stew sauerkraut for you tonight."
Xu Changlin didn't say anything, just sat there.
The old lady got up and went to the outhouse to cook. After she went out, Xu Changlin lowered his head and murmured: "This time there is no need to keep the pickled cabbage soup for the dog."
