On this day, Gu Ya's family killed the dog and stewed a pot of dog meat with red pepper, ginger, onion and other condiments in it. It was fragrant. Gu's father ordered Gu Ya to make a pot of grain wine and invite seven or eight prominent people in the village to come to his house to eat dog meat. The village director Gu Qi couldn't invite him. When asked why, he said he didn't eat dog meat. Father Gu thought to himself: When we all had dinner before, I saw you eating dog meat, why don’t you eat it now? It is inconvenient for my father to ask more questions.
At night, he chopped up two kilograms of the remaining dog meat and climbed over a low mountain to Gu Qi's house. Gu Qi politely asked Gu's father to sit down and asked his wife to make tea. Then he declined and said to the elder Gu's father, "Uncle Gu, I really don't eat dog meat."
When Gu's father saw that Gu Qi's family lived in a newly built house, he smiled and said, didn't you eat dog meat when you lived in the old house? Gu Qi replied, "I quit now, just like someone quitting smoking."
Gu Qi’s wife also came over to emphasize that our family does not eat dog meat. After saying that, he knelt down and stroked a big yellow dog that was squatting on the ground.
The big yellow dog glanced at Gu's father. Although he was a stranger, he saw that he was talking harmoniously with his family, so he didn't grunt or bark. Instead, he meekly stretched out his soft and scarlet tongue to lick the mistress's fingers. . Gu's father was holding a knife of dog meat. When he saw that they wouldn't take it, it was not good for him to leave or not to leave, so he asked, "I don't understand, why don't your family eat dog meat?" Oh, the child eats pop?
The children are studying and living in school. They used to eat, but now they don’t eat. Gu Qi said, shaking his head, looking mysterious against the light.
Director Gu, could it be that you don’t eat dog meat because you have a dog at home? Gu's father guessed and put the dog meat he was carrying on his table.
Just leave it for a while and then take it away! You're right. The reason why our family doesn't eat dog meat is related to raising dogs, but it's not entirely the reason. Sit down and listen to me tell you slowly. This is a true story that happened in our family. He pointed to the yellow dog lying in the house and said that this was what happened to it.
Three years ago, Gu Qi's family lived in an old house left by their ancestors on the mountainside. It had a separate door and courtyard. There was no one at home. Even though it was locked, the family's big yellow dog still squatted in the yard obediently. guard. Because the big yellow dog has a bunch of white hair on its head, the family nicknamed it Baihua.
Baihua is very understanding of human nature, and even a little snobbish like people. When she sees a well-dressed person walking in front of the door, even a stranger, she will never bark; if a person wearing ragged clothes walks in front of the door, it will It will inevitably bark and even bite until the family members scold it and then go away whining.
Of course, if there is no one at Guqi's house, and outsiders come into the yard and move things, regardless of whether they are wearing clothes or errands, Baihua will behave like a dog that does its best to protect the family and bark loudly as a warning. If you don't leave, then Just bite.
That time, something happened. A man in the next village was bitten by a yellow dog when he passed by Gu Qi's house. After that, he went to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine, and then started to argue and demanded that Gu Qi's family pay for the medical expenses.
Gu Qi was annoyed and angrily took the family's yellow dog to a dog meat shop on the street to sell it for money to pay for the medical expenses he had to pay for the man's treatment, which was obviously not enough.
He secretly thought: I will never keep a dog again to avoid getting into trouble. The next day, Gu Qi was on the street for business. Passing by the door of the dog meat shop, he suddenly heard the familiar barking of a dog.
He followed the sound and saw that it was his own yellow dog that he had brought yesterday and was still locked in an iron cage without being killed. Now, when the yellow dog saw him, it stopped barking. Instead, it kept wagging its tail at him and looking at him with tears. It seems to say, Master, please rescue me quickly. If it takes a little longer or today or tomorrow, the owner of the dog meat shop will kill me for cooking and entertaining guests. I beg you! Master, please save my life!
Gu Qi hesitated for a moment and then left with a hard heart. After returning home, Gu Qi still felt uneasy. The image of the yellow dog wagging its tail and pleading with him with tears always appeared in his mind.
He was a little tired and slowly fell asleep. He dreamed of the yellow dog again, and he could still talk. It said, Master, save me quickly! If I don't save it, I won't be able to save it even one day later, and tomorrow the owner of the dog meat shop will kill me for serving customers.
Gu Qi said, Bai Hua, you are usually very good. I didn't want to sell you, but you shouldn't bite people. If you bite someone, you will need a rabies vaccine. All medical expenses must be paid by the dog's guardian, Gu Qi. You Annoying or not? Otherwise, would I sell you casually?
The yellow dog cried again and said, Master! You don’t know, but I don’t bite easily. I only bit him because that guy came to the yard when there was no one in your house, glanced at him and frowned, and then took out a tool from his body to twist the door lock. . Otherwise, your home will be robbed.
Gu Qi asked, is there such a thing? The yellow dog said, if you don't believe it, after you wake up, you can see the door lock, the mark made by the pliers, and a piece of paint falling off.
Gu Qi said, if I redeem you with money this time, you will guard the door and don't bite the bad guys when you see them. You can keep barking. Once you bark, the bad guys will be afraid of attracting the attention of passers-by and being discovered, so they will naturally Give up mischief and run away.
The yellow dog nodded and said that as long as the owner redeems me from the dog meat shop, I will never bite anyone again. Gu Qi said, since this is the case, I will definitely redeem you. The yellow dog said again, it will be difficult for you to redeem me from the dog meat shop again. I wonder if you are willing?
Gu Qi asked again, what's the difficulty? Isn't it just paying for it? The yellow dog told him that if you want to redeem me, you have to pay double the price you got from selling me. In other words, if you betrayed me, the shopkeeper only gave you 800 yuan. If you want to redeem me, the shopkeeper will have to pay 1,600 yuan. If you don’t pay that much money, the shopkeeper will never agree to let you. I buy it back.
When Gu Qi was in trouble, he woke up. He first went to the front door and took a look. The lock on the door did have traces of pliers, but it was not obvious. Also, the corner of the lock did fall off. A small patch of paint is often easily overlooked without looking carefully.
Seeing this phenomenon, and thinking of what he said in his dream about the yellow dog, Gu Qi regretted wrongly blaming it and shouldn't have sold it. Should he redeem the yellow dog now? You have to pay double the price, not to mention that the man who was bitten by the dog was a bad guy who deserved to be bitten by the dog, but there was no word bad guy marked on his forehead.
The dog knew in his heart that he was a bad person, so he bit him, but it was not in a dream, and the dog could not speak. Even if by a miracle he could speak, who could believe what the beast said? Even if there is a lawsuit and the yellow dog appears in court to testify, the court will not accept it.
Gu Qi was very confused. If he spent so much money to redeem the yellow dog, he would suffer a huge loss. He told his wife what he thought. Unexpectedly, his wife said that since this was the case, he must spend money to redeem the dog. Dogs are spiritual. If you don't save it in a dream, it may be disadvantageous.
Although Gu Qi frowned and felt unhappy, he still obeyed his wife. He came to the dog meat shop that day. The yellow dog hadn't been slaughtered yet. It was still crouching in the cage and kept wagging its tail when it saw Gu Qi.
Gu Qi said "White Flower" as a gesture to it. He immediately found the shop owner and said that he wanted to redeem the yellow dog. Sure enough, as the yellow dog said in his dream, the shop owner asked him to give him double the price when he sold the yellow dog. Moreover, the shop owner didn't want to sell it yet and said that he had made an appointment to buy it tomorrow. This fat yellow dog is killed and cooked to entertain expensive guests. Reluctantly, Gu Qi had no choice but to pay 1,600 yuan to let the shop owner open the iron cage and release the yellow dog to go home with him.
