The native dogs raised by the people in the village will generally be used to the fullest, and now there are extra meals for the dogs to eat, and the dogs in the city also have special dog food, which is almost unimaginable in the countryside before, and people can't eat enough, but also give the dog to eat so well? Go to find to eat, cats catch mice and dogs eat, it's just right, why is it so hypocritical?

Fortunately, most of the children in the countryside used to defecate in the open, so some dogs often had to wait behind the children who were pooping (shit), waiting for a shift (in the past, rural children did not have much oil and water to eat, coarse grains ate a lot, and the amount of feces was also large, and they had to pull a bunch again, so they had to move a position, otherwise the butt would rub against the shit they had just pulled), and they gnawed clean.

Some dogs don't eat enough, and they come to lick the child's **, so the children generally take a stick to drive the dog when they poop, and they are really anxious to find the ground to, and they don't have time to take the stick, so they pick up a few stones and clods on the ground to beat the dog and drive away these nasty guys.

In the past, when the countryside was poor, when I saw the feces of people and animals on the road, I would try to get it to my own fields, drink tea and chat at other people's homes, and hold it home to soak urine (urine), and the fertilizer and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, so generally children would ask them to go to their own pits (earthen toilets) to when they were seven or eight years old.

So the dog food is lacking, I have to go with the pig to eat, when the pig is fed (feed the pig), the pig food is poured in the pig trough, the dog will come over to grab to eat, but the pig is hungry out of the mountain, especially easy to be hungry, not to the point often hungry straight call, and a meal is very rough, the pig's head arches directly into the pig trough, and the lifeless gobble.

This soup is splashed everywhere, too no table manners, too unsophisticated, make the dog very uncomfortable, sometimes will be fierce and pretend to bite the pig a few times, drive the pig away and eat a few bites, but the hungry pig does not care about the dog's teeth, while being bitten and screaming, he still has to arch his head to grab it.

Ordinary people hear the screams of the pigs eating, they know that the dog is going to grab the food, so they take a stick to beat the dog away, sometimes there is really no way, will call a child with a stick to guard, wait for the pig to finish eating before leaving, the dog can only go to eat some scraps.

Originally, rural people have nothing to eat, so pig food is generally not eaten pigweed, vegetable yellow leaves, guati melon skin, rice bran, etc.

When the guests threw the leftover meat and bones on the ground, several dogs rushed over with amazing reactions and explosive power, and the dogs that grabbed them bit the bones to death, and quickly ran away, fleeing far away to enjoy this supreme delicacy.

If you don't run away at the first time, you will be bitten half to death by other dogs who didn't grab it, and you will scream in pain, and the bones in your mouth will naturally fall off and be snatched away by other dogs. If you leave far away with a bone in your mouth, other competitors will not be able to chase after them because they have to take care of the next meat and bone.

There are often dogs of the owner in order to protect their own rights, so that they bite and drive away the dogs from other houses, and there are also a few dogs fighting for a good position to grab bones, and the barking of dogs under the table makes the owner angry, and drives all the dogs out of the door with a stick and closes the door, so that they can have a clean dinner.

Haoyu's big yellow dog is much smarter, rarely put down his body and grab bones with other dogs, it has its eating tricks, that is, gently rub your legs, and then stand up, two forepaws on your thighs, tilt your head watery eyes "charming and moving" looking at you, so that you can't bear it, there are bones to keep when there is it, only give it, even if there are no bones, sometimes it will take advantage of people to secretly clip a piece of meat to its mouth.

Of course, not everyone will be "confused" by it, and there are those who don't deal with it, just drive it down, and it won't be annoyed, just walk away. And it has a good memory, remembering what is good for it and what is not cold to it. If there is a banquet, go straight to those who are good with it, and this is often laughed at by the guests at the banquet.

Taigong himself rarely eats meat, but he likes to eat meat for the big yellow dog, so the big yellow dog is closest to him, and he follows him when he has nothing to do.

People in the village raise dogs, unlike people in the city, when the uncle comes to respect, when the pet comes to raise, basically they are very disgusted with dogs, except for the occasional barking of the yard at night, most of the other times are not likable, the body is dirty and smelly, and often cause trouble to bite people, and the chickens and geese in the village are called in groups.

People in the village fancy more at the end of the year, there is dog meat to eat, can't wait how big the dog grows, so they kill and eat dog meat, generally hanging, a hang for a few hours, because the dog is very difficult to die, no matter the old elder who is hung tongue pulls out, as long as there is a foot on the ground, it can't die at once, the old people say that the dog is the life of the soil, and it will come back to life if it is stained with soil.

Some people also beat the hanging dog's head with a large wooden stick, and the beating was so loud that they couldn't scream because their throats were covered with ropes; Some people have to use a knife to bleed the dog before it dies, so that there is no blood in the body and the meat is delicious.

Now ordinary people rarely do this, and they rarely kill their own dogs, because there is no shortage of food, if you want to eat, you can go to the restaurant to order something to eat, not bad for a few dollars, so as not to kill their own dogs, watching those who grow up have feelings, and they can't do it.

people, that is, only know the word "cruel" when there is no shortage of food; If you are really hungry to the point of dying, everyone in the past will have a thing of eating a child, let alone a dog as a beast.

When the hanging dog is dead, it will be put down and enlarged into the wooden plate, injected boiling water to scald the hair, plucking the hair quickly, and when the water is cold, the hair will not be plucked.

Generally eat dogs in winter, one is the fat and fat of the dog after the autumn, the other is the dog meat is hot, eat dog meat in winter to make up for the cold body, but in the winter the dog changes the winter hair, that is, there are a lot of fine fluff, can not be pulled out, so it is necessary to burn the fire to roast off the fine fluff, generally with straw to burn, so that the dog meat will have the fragrance of straw ash.

The old yellow dog is now in his teens, and the conversion of human age belongs to the age of the ancient, but it is still vivid, and it has escaped the pig killing knife of the dog rope and the years, thanks to the love of the princess.

According to the city now, the prince treats it as a pet playmate, so the family can't move its mind, the village people see the big yellow dog with smooth hair, and they often drool and say, this dog has a good life, otherwise it will grow so fat and fat, and it will enter people's stomachs early.

In addition to the yellow dog, Haoyu when he was a child is also one of Taigong's playmates, the Luo family's ancestors are silent, the atmosphere at home is relatively dull, Haoyu is the eldest great-great-grandson, when he was a child, he was the same as ordinary children, children, not just happy all day long.

In addition, Haoyu is a boy, energetic, and tiger-headed, so Taigong likes to play with Xiao Haoyu very much, and watching Haoyu and the big yellow dog rolling together on the ground like a little tiger, he smiled.

But as soon as Haoyu arrived to study, he strangely began to automatically inherit the Luo family's taciturnity, and later boarding school, he went home less often, and he was not as close to Taigong as before.

However, although Haoyu has grown up, every time he goes home, the first person he looks for is Taigong, sitting together, even if he doesn't talk much, he will stay for a while, and sometimes he has to sleep with Taigong at night, and he can't warm the quilt.

Therefore, Haoyu is also the favorite one of all the family members, Taigong, but it is just that Haoyu is getting bigger, and now it will not be shown on his face, but as soon as Haoyu goes to school, he talks about when Haoyu will go home.

When Haoyu was not at home, Taigong was even more silent, smoked less cigarettes and drank less tea, often sat in the sun all day, squinting, I don't know whether he was asleep or not, silent, sometimes his eyes were half-open, looking at the sky fixedly, like a demon.

The old yellow dog under his feet is also really old, lying down silently for most of the day, standing up is very difficult, staggering a few steps to take a breath, his eyes can't see things anymore, he often hits the wall on the door, rarely barks and rarely eats, just lies quietly with the Taigong, and occasionally smokes a few puffs of smoke.

After the winter of this year, the prince began to pinch the days and count the time again, and always asked Haoyu when he would go home, Haoyu's mother couldn't bear to tell him that Haoyu would not go home for the Chinese New Year this year. But at this moment, Taigong fell ill and couldn't get up from the bed for several days, and he kept talking about not having Haoyu to warm the quilt, it was too cold.

In this way, Haoyu's father finally made up his mind to call Haoyu; Unexpectedly, when Haoyu came home all the way, before the front foot entered the door, Taigong's illness was cured, he got up, and took the old yellow dog to drink tea, smoke and bask in the sun.

As soon as Haoyu put down his luggage, he sat next to his grandfather and told him about the things at school, it was cold in winter, Haoyu's mother quickly brought a chair (small backrest bamboo chair) to Haoyu, and by the way, he added tea and took Haoyu's luggage away.

The "two old and one young" quietly squinted their eyes under the sun, basking in the sun comfortably, enjoying this comfortable tranquility and warmth; I don't know how long it took, and I don't know what Haoyu's nerves were, and suddenly a sentence popped up, Taigong, when you were about the same age as me, what did you look like, and what did you do that you can remember?

Taigong, who seemed to be asleep, trembled slightly, half-opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Haoyu, and slowly turned his head back, closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and quietly did not move.

I don't know how long it took, Haoyu almost forgot what he had just asked, and suddenly Taigong's words came to his ears: "Xiaoyu get up, follow me"; When I opened my eyes, I found that Taigong was standing up with a cane, and there was an old yellow dog standing up and swaying next to him.

Haoyu hurriedly got up, helped Taigong to the room, just walked into the bedroom from the bright sun, slightly dark, Haoyu took out a free hand, pressed the lamp by the door, and helped Taigong to sit down, Taigong was not polite, pointed to the big wardrobe with a cane and said, you open the wardrobe door.

Haoyu opened the cabinet door, such a wardrobe is very common, hanging clothes below, there is a partition separated from the top of the grid, put the bedding and bed sheets and quilt covers or something; The same is true of Taigong's wardrobe, which contains some clothes that he usually wears and a quilt to sleep on.

Taigong said, you find the joint on the left-hand side of the partition against the wall, and there is a small wooden wedge underneath. After looking for a long time, Haoyu found an inconspicuous wedge, I remember when I was a child, I could make a big fuss in the palace in the Taigong's room, why didn't I find this thing, perhaps, I didn't think it was strange, a lot of wooden furniture has similar parts.

Taigong said, after finding it, he pulled the wedge and pulled it down hard, Haoyu didn't know why, so he did it correctly, suddenly, with a bang, the inner panel of the cabinet was pulled down a short section, and there was actually a small dark cabinet inside, about a foot wide and nearly a foot high, which scared Haoyu and put his head on the partition of the wardrobe.

Panic what? Taigong seemed to know that Haoyu would be like this, and commanded Haoyu unhurriedly and said, reach in and take out the things inside, Haoyu took the courage and reached in to touch it, this dark cabinet has a depth of one foot square, and you can feel a cloth wrapped package inside, so he grabbed it with one hand.

Handed to Taigong, Taigong slowly lifted several layers of wrapped cloth, a small rectangular leather backpack was revealed, it seems that this square leather bag has obviously been over the years, the outer layer of cowhide has become dark brown, the corners of the backpack are slightly worn, but the overall look is quite regular.

Any idea what this is? Taigong asked Haoyu

I don't know, Haoyu shook his head and said truthfully, to be honest, I really haven't seen anything like this before.

This is the marching backpack that fought the Japanese devils back then, and it can also be used as a horse jacket.

This is said by Haoyu who is confused, what marching backpack and what horse jacket? I used to hear that it was true that Taigong had beaten Japanese devils, but Taigong basically kept silent about fighting devils.

Taigong rubbed the leather backpack and fell into deep memories, not moving for a long time; Haoyu was anxious to open the bag to see what was inside, but he didn't want to disturb Taigong, so he had to hold back his curiosity and try to wait beside him.

After a long time, the Taigong came back to his senses and said slowly: I have beaten the Japanese devils, but I mainly follow your eldest grandfather to fight devils, this leather bag is also your grandfather's belongings, I just keep it for him, I am now in my nineties, too old, if I don't take it out, I'm afraid that no one will know about it in the future.

Now that the times have changed, I don't think there's anything wrong with taking this thing out, and those people and things should also be known to you juniors.

However, although I will hand over this thing to you, you still have to keep it properly, and don't lose it too casually and break it.

What's in it? I couldn't help it, Haoyu asked Taigong anxiously. He had also heard that Taigong and Da Taigong had fought Japanese devils a long time ago, but Da Taigong died before Haoyu was born. Now this attention is deeply attracted by the leather bag, and I have no intention of listening to the Taigong's rambling, and I can't wait to grab it and open it to see what it is.

Alas, the little ghost Ling (child) is anxious, Taigong blamed Haoyu, and at the same time also woke up, the things in it are too familiar to him, so he is not in a hurry, but for a teenager or twenty-year-old child who does not know, he is indeed very curious.

So, put away his mood and put away his words, sat up solemnly, slowly opened the leather bag, and under Haoyu's eager gaze, several books with cowhide covers were taken out. The long years seem to be about to dimmer the cowhide cover with dark brown oil.

If you have read a book, take it and look at it, and if you don't understand it, you can ask me, be careful, and be careful not to damage the paper inside.

Taigong took out a copy and handed it to Haoyu and said.

Haoyu casually opened the yellowed inner page, and the smoke of gunpowder, the raging flames of war, and the figure of sacrificing himself and charging rushed to his face; The bombardment of artillery shells, the terrible sound of military bugles, and the shouts of soldiers were deafening......

Twenty-ninth day of the eighth month of the twenty-sixth year

It's night. The 3rd Battalion of our 306th Regiment, led by Battalion Commander Hu Hao, attacked Luodian at night; After our troops crawled forward and approached the Japanese position, they jumped up with grenades to attack the enemy camp, took advantage of the enemy's confusion to open fire, and killed the enemy with bayonets after engaging in close combat.

When the enemy organized a counterattack force, our troops quickly retreated as planned, lured the enemy into pursuit, and after our troops retreated to the predetermined ambush circle, the whole army of our regiment opened fire and attacked, and our troops turned around and pursued the remnants of the enemy.

This battle, for the first battle of our anti-Japanese army, killed 300 enemies and blew up 5 enemy tanks, which was the "great victory of Luodian".

Note: The twenty-sixth year is the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1937.

You take these back, and when you have time to read them slowly, after lunch, I will tell you about the past between me and your eldest grandfather...... After a while, if I can still walk, I'll take you to meet a few people.

Taigong repacked these notebooks and wrapped them, and solemnly handed them to Haoyu and said.
