What is a cud dog?
Dog-shaped gadgets woven from straw ropes are called chudogs. There are also roosters, geese, pigs, etc. They are all extremely small gadgets. It is made up casually and thrown away casually. Even the lowest common people will not think that this kind of stuff needs to be taken seriously.
Straw ropes are everywhere. Worthless. Knitting skills are not valuable either. Who didn’t grow up playing with this kind of thing? More or less.
And some people are like this stupid dog, living tenaciously and hard when no one cares or cares.
At the foot of the cliff mountain there is a young man named "Chu Dog".
The old dog is thirteen or twelve years old. He didn't know. Because he looked more than one to two years old when he was picked up. I was shivering with cold in the haystack and couldn't even cry. It was dragged out by a farmer's guard dog. There was a poorly made cud dog tucked into his thin coat, probably to cope with his crying.
Although the farmer rescued the rotten dog that was about to freeze to death, they were unable to raise him. After all, why should their own baby share food with a wild baby?
So the rescued dog came into the hands of Ren Yazi.
Ren Yazi originally didn't have much interest in such a young child. Because it is too small, it will incur a lot of costs, and it will take at least several years before it can be sold. If it falls ill or dies for some other reason, it will be a pure loss.
But the rut dogs were very lucky. Ren Yazi happened to have a few women and slaves in his hands. Because they couldn't be sold because they were broken, they were used as laborers, so he threw the rut dogs to these female slaves as a good deed.
After a few years, the dog has grown up. Although it is thin, it grows quickly. He was sold as a slave to a wealthy family to serve as a reading companion for a young master. Although the life was hard, it was better luck than before. At least I no longer have to worry about suddenly dying in the dim Yaxing small building one day. And I can feel full every time.
But the good days of the cud dog ended not long after. That family was involved in the crime, and the whole family was arrested, beheaded, and exiled. Naturally, the cud dogs who were slaves were also among them.
However, Chugou did not see the battlefield, but went to the stone field, a place where people died every day.
It wasn't until two years later that Chu Gou was called, and then he followed a group of military officers into the military camp, then cleaned himself up and started another life that he had never imagined.
Reading, literacy, knowledge, training... In addition to being unable to leave the military camp at will, Chu Gou felt that he was being trained like a soldier who was ready to go to the battlefield at any time. The few words his trainer repeatedly said were: Remember, if you can enter the cliff mountain one day, it will be a blessing given to you by His Majesty! It is His Majesty who graciously gave you this opportunity and spent great efforts to train you in advance!
During those days in the military camp, Chu Gou understood what his battlefield was and when it would begin. He also knew that he had no way out. If he fails, the best outcome for him is to go back to the stone quarry, maybe he can become a small foreman because he is literate.
We set out three days in advance, and the people traveling with us were like an army advancing. The closer you get to Duoya Mountain, the more people there are.
Chu Gou stared at the huge Dharma image above his head, and the only thought in his mind was: There really is a God in the world!
For the first time in his life, Chu Gou had desires other than "having enough food and wearing warm clothes". He wanted to be one of God's chosen ones! No reason, just a simple desire to be chosen.
But the moment it flew over, the strange golden ruler was so far away from the Chu Dog that he couldn't even see it clearly. I could only tell from the words of the few warriors around me that it was best not to run around, just stand there and wait for the talent ruler to come over.
Chu Gou was not the only one who was anxious. He habitually lowered his head to prevent others from seeing the expression on his face. Even his eyes were red with excitement.
The screening speed of talent ruler is very fast. The dog stayed up for a long time, and from time to time, bursts of ecstatic cheers could be heard in his ears, as well as more curses and sighs.
"It's too difficult! Is the threshold too high? Only one or two out of thousands of people are selected!"
"That's bullshit! The talent scale on the side is even more outrageous. Only one person has passed it now, and one of tens of thousands of people has to be selected! Tsk, but I think there are still many people who can be selected in this way. There are millions of people here. baby!"
"It was said that there were fifty people before, but the number chosen this time is definitely more than that. What should I do?"
"How do I know? But since Mr. Zhang has his own arrangements, we can just watch it honestly."
...
The speakers were two instructors in the Chu Dog team. It was said that they were from the military and now worked in the Special Operations Department. I don’t know what a special official is, but I do know that he is a very powerful yamen and knows a lot of information that others don’t know.
One in a million, or even one in tens of thousands? !
Chu Gou's mood kept falling. He has known since he was sensible that he has no luck. Nothing stands out. Not the fastest, not the strongest, not the best eater, not the best sleeper, not the most lovable...
Let alone one in a million, even a dog in a hundred thinks it is impossible.
Maybe I can only knock stones on the stone field in this life. Although Chu Gou desperately hoped that he would be chosen, he completely denied himself and felt that he was not good enough. This kind of contradictory psychology is the most common psychological portrayal of his survival.
Finally, just when the dog could hear the heartbeat in his chest, the strange-shaped talent ruler flew above his head. It was less than a foot away from his head, allowing those who were screened to know unmistakably that their talents were being measured.
The whole process is extremely fast, taking only one breath. The whole process was over before Chu Gou even had time to calm down in accordance with the requirements of "empty your mind when testing talent" taught by Xi Xi in the military camp.
There was no pain, not even any sensation. The only things that Chu Dog could feel were his own heartbeat and the sudden explosion of exclamations around him.
"It's on! The talent ruler is on!"
Chu Gou violently opened his eyes that were closed due to nervousness. What I saw were faces of surprise, envy, and disbelief around me. The closest ones were the two warrior instructors from the Special Division who were chatting just now. At this time, he laughed and patted his shoulder, and said, "I really saw you right, Chugou, you must not forget us in the future..."
I don’t know what to say.
Chu Gou was in a dazed state.
In this scene of envy, exclamation and even hostility, Chu Gou didn't even know that he had a golden mark like a talent ruler on his forehead as a sign of passing the screening. He trotted all the way towards the mountain gate behind the huge Dharma image in the sky.
There was only one sentence left in Chu Gou's heart: Go up the mountain, go up the mountain!
