Spirit of the Mountain

Chapter 4 Smells like green onions...? Ah Le! ! !

Ah Le woke up, I don’t know how long it took before he woke up.

Her first feeling was that of comfort, very comfortable, a feeling of comfort all over her body, from the inside to the outside, as if every inch of her skin and every hair was filled with vitality, revealing vitality and generating a lot of strength.

Ah Le feels that now he can chew up the wall that once caused him pain. Although he bumped into it himself, Ah Le feels that he can definitely chew through it easily now.

The second feeling is clarity, clarity in the mind and clarity of feeling. Things that were vague in the past are now particularly clear in my memory. Many things I have experienced can come to mind. Ah Le now even remembers the feeling of Apu touching him for the first time. He also remembers the first time. Details of being taken away from the dog’s mother while still nursing and given to Apu.

The third sensation is a foul odor and a slimy touch. A bad smell and a sticky feeling on my body.

The sharper sense allows Ale to clearly "see" things in a nearby circle, such as the texture on the leaves of the big trees around him; the green fruits on the tree that are the same color as the leaves and difficult to distinguish; the thin white fruits under his body Sand particles, and crystal clear stones with faint brilliance in the small pits around them: a few thin roots inside the transparent stone, and a small, slender crack on the stone that almost split the stone in half.

Ah Le can now "see" these things very clearly. Although it is different from the previous way and does not require eyes, Ah Le does not feel strange because there are so many new things and information for Ah Le after waking up. Now accept it, the details are beyond the scope of Ale's consideration. The word "why" has not yet been born in Ale's simple and happy mind.

Although Ah Le's keen sense of touch allowed him to feel many new and beautiful things, the stench and sticky body sensation now occupied Ah Le's entire nerves. Why did he have so many sticky, smelly things on his body?

This kind of odor is not something that A Le has been exposed to before. It is the rancid smell that occasionally comes with food. The smell is not disgusting to A Le, but a stench that makes the "dog" feel sick and must be cleaned up.

Ah Le stood up, shook slightly, and rushed into the stream. He happily started splashing in the water, trying to wash away the dirt on his body.

The sun hasn't completely set yet. The valley is golden in the setting sun, and the water is still as warm as at noon. Ale's bath feels very comfortable. The dirty things dissolved quickly in Ah Le's tossing, and the nearby fish schools also moved far away. Occasionally, a few small fish whose bellies were probably whitened by the smell did not attract Ah Le too much. Attention, if it were normal, A Le would definitely pick up the small fish in his mouth and give it to A Pu to claim credit in exchange for delicious food and kill it by touching the head, but now A Le just wants to wash it off quickly because it is getting late.

In the past, A Le rarely left A Pu alone, and the concept of time existed only when it started to get dark. He had to wake A Pu up, and then after a while, he would have hot and soft paste to eat (porridge). Occasionally, broth is added to the soft paste.

Then there is the time when the sky is very bright and the dazzling ball of light is above the head (sometimes the ball of light cannot be seen when there is water in the sky. A Le doesn’t like this kind of time, because Apu doesn’t like it. Apu will be alone at many times like this. Sitting in a daze on the second floor of the wooden house, A Le can feel A Pu's unhappiness. He can only stay with him quietly, and cannot run around and have fun.) Around A Pu, he will eat a lot of delicious food, sometimes with broth and White grains (rice), sometimes soft long strips (noodles) with slices of meat and vegetable soup. If Ah Le does something to make Apu happy, he may even chew on the crispy meat bones. Sometimes There are also guests.

Ah Le likes the feeling of chewing on meat bones. The bones not only have the smell of meat, but also allow him to release for a long time the itch in his body and teeth that wants to bite something and find something to take a few bites. Desire, chewing in the mouth is crunchy and crispy, the smell of meat is o>__<o, and eating delicious food with Apu will make you twice happy. Whatever Apu usually eats, as long as he finds that Ale likes it, Apu will They will share half of it for Ah Le to eat, and it is always hot, and there is soup that can be added to it.

After "taking a look" and seeing that there was basically no sticky dirt or smell on his body, A Le aimed at a chubby fish in the water, bit it, held it in his mouth, and ran back. There were Apu and Haochi at home. are waiting.

"The fish here are so stupid and easy to catch. In the past, Ah Le didn't feel as relaxed as catching fish now and it's so fat. I really want to drink fish soup, the kind Apu stews. Ah Pu won't let Ah Le eat the fish (for fear of eating it) fish bones), so only fish soup can be drunk, but it tastes good O(n_n)O.”

Ale thought as he ran.

Ah Le, who was in a hurry to get home, didn't realize that his speed was much faster than that in the morning. Moreover, when passing the cave, he didn't have to take a look at it. It was very clear even if there was no light in the cave.

It's just that I seemed to have gotten a little bigger. When I came out of the rock gap, I actually rubbed against the rock wall. It was still loose and loose when I entered in the morning.

The sky gradually darkened, and Ah Le gradually realized that he could run faster, so he sped up. Finally, when the sky was completely dark, Ah Le returned to the entrance of the village.

The lights in every house in the village were on. Apu lived on the east side of the village. A Le had to go through the village to go home. The fish in his mouth also stopped moving. I wonder if Apu had cooked something delicious. Waiting for her, Ale's mood was ups and downs now.

As he passed through the village in a hurry, Ah Le saw a familiar figure at the door of his small courtyard from a distance. It was Apu... Ah Le, who had completely let go of himself, flew towards him.

Apu was very worried and a little angry. His dog actually ran away for a whole day without being seen, and it was already dark and he still hadn’t come back. Apu was “very angry” and felt that he should take good care of his dog. You are a bitch. As expected, when faced with a "naughty child" who is about to grow up, you must suppress it as soon as possible. You must not look down upon him or coddle him.

When A Le didn't come back at noon, A Pu had already searched around the village, but everyone said they didn't see him. A Le is a little worried, not in the village, but in the mountains. There are wild boars on the mountains here, and I heard there are wolves, and there are legends of tigers in the mountains.

Finally, when the sun set, I met Uncle Jiang at the entrance of the village and learned from his mouth that his dog seemed to have run into the mountains at the west end of the village in the morning. He also told Apu not to worry too much, as the dogs in the mountains are very strong. , and very wild. Ale is a descendant of mountain hounds. Her parents are both excellent hunters, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Although this statement made Apu even more worried. Although my own dog is a local dog, it has been with me all the time without training. If I want to talk about its advantages, it can only be said that it is cute and very humane. It is not comparable to a powerful hunting dog. If it really runs into the mountains, it will definitely be dangerous. , and now it is a whole day and has not come back.

The sky was getting dark, and the worried Apu could only go home and wait under everyone's persuasion. People in the mountains would not gather everyone with torches and go into the mountains to look for a dog just because it was missing. Whose dog is not in trouble? How many times have you run? The more powerful dogs can even go into the mountains alone for several days without being seen, and then when they come back, they can bring home a rabbit for a reward or something, so everyone is very calm.

Apu was not in the mood to cook. He stood alone at the door of the courtyard, silently staring at the stone road leading to the west of the village. She made a decision in her mind: If A Le hadn't come back in another half hour, she would go find Uncle Jiang and see if she could ask him to take her into the mountains to look for A Le.

She was in a daze and didn't notice the shadow rushing towards her in the darkness. When she got closer, Apu was awakened by a strong smell of green onions, and then a black shadow rushed towards her.

Apu's brain was a little slow in thinking about things in a daze. He just instinctively hugged the shadow coming from the shop, and then mumbled in a daze and uncertainty:

"Onion,, the smell of onion...? Ah Le!!!"
