Chapter 1 Animism

"You son of a bitch, I told you not to fight with the dog, but you didn't listen, what if I bite you someday!"

Outside Chang'an County at night, in a small courtyard in Yunling Mountain, the gray-haired Liu Yuanchao was teaching his disobedient grandson.

The little grandson’s name is Liu Yuxuan. He is 12 years old this year. As the old saying goes, “Seven and eight years old are hated by dogs.” In fact, it’s the same when he is eleven or twelve years old. He came to the mountains during the summer vacation, and Liu Yuxuan, who was disconnected from the Internet, was caught. The native dog raised by his grandfather plucked its tail, and barked the native dog for a whole day. Liu Yuanchao, who came back from the mountain to collect medicine, caught him and scolded him.

"But that's a dog, so what if I just play with him for a while!"

The ten-year-old child has a tough mouth, even if he is scolded, he is unwilling to admit defeat, and Liu Yuanchao seems to see himself decades ago with his stiff neck.

So he could better understand that if he didn't change this kid's temperament while he was still young, then this attitude of not admitting he made a mistake would definitely make his little grandson suffer a lot.

"Everything has animism, even a dog will understand human nature after a long time... Let me tell you a story."

He dug out the cigarette pouch from the old table, and the old man Liu lit a pot of dry tobacco, and while smoking, he talked about the story of the year.

It happened when he was young. It is said that in a village around Chang’an County, there was a family named Han.

Back then, the food production was not as high as it is now, and it was almost New Year's Eve if there were rabbit meat to eat, so this dog made a great contribution to Han Laosan, and Han Laosan has been raising this native dog for seven or eight years.

Han Laosan has a younger brother named Han Laosi, and the relationship between the two brothers has always been very good.Later, Han Lao Si had a son and a daughter, and the two children often visited Han Lao San's house, and Han Lao San loved the two children very much.Among them, the youngest brother, a child named Huzi, bullied the dog of Han Laosan's family.

At that time, the tiger kicked the old native dog several times, which also made the dog bark wildly, but it was tied with an iron chain, so it couldn't bite the tiger.

"Huzi was startled by the barking of the dog, and then saw the old dog tied by a chain, so he got excited again. He pointed to the dog's nose and said, if he dared to bark again, he would look for his third uncle, Han Laosan, during the Chinese New Year. Kill the old dog and eat the meat."

After taking two puffs of dry smoke, old man Liu sold it off.

"Guess what happened next?"

"Later... Hu Zi was scolded by his third uncle?"

The young Liu Yuxuan made a guess based on his own experience.

But old man Liu shook his head.

"Later..."

Under the dim light, old man Liu's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Later, the earth dog was taken aback for a moment, and then stopped barking."

Not only did he stop barking, but the old dog didn’t even come out very often. Even if the tiger occasionally came to visit and was beaten and scolded, the old dog just endured it, kept silent, and ate less and less. , Going back and forth in circles in front of the nest all day long.

Han Laosan felt sorry for the old dog and boiled some eggs for the dog, but the old dog didn't eat a bite.

In a flash, it will be the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, which is the new year. There is a temple fair in the county that day. Han Laosi bought some mountain products to sell at the temple fair. He wants to stay there for a few days, so he gives the two children to Han Laosan to take care of , Han Laosan also agreed and took the child to his home.

That very night, something went wrong.

That night, the third son Han slept in the main room, and the two children slept in the west room. In the middle of the night, Huzi's sister vaguely heard a knock on the door. But there is no pattern, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, like someone who has drunk too much is knocking on the door.

Huzi's sister was sleepy and didn't care. After a while, the knock on the door became more and more urgent, and there were a few coughing sounds in the middle, which were similar to Han Laosan's coughing sound. The voice was slightly lower, a little awkward, as if he lowered his voice and coughed on purpose.

Han Laosan smokes all the year round and has a bad voice. Huzi's elder sister thought that the uncle was looking for them, so she got up and opened the door. When the door opened, there was no one outside. Close the door.

I fell asleep just after entering the bed, and the door started to knock again, making people unable to fall asleep because of the noise.

This time, Huzi's elder sister was sleeping soundly, so she didn't care at all. She vaguely heard her brother go out and open the door, and the knock on the door stopped, and she could sleep soundly.

And on the second day, Han Laosan got up early and wanted to go to the market to buy some New Year's goods. By the way, he took the two children out to catch a market. The old dog in the family was also getting old, and he needed to get some bones and the like. Make up.

It's just that when he went out to look at the dog, he found that the dog's body was wet, and the dog's legs were still stained with mud. At that time, he was also surprised that it didn't rain that day.

He thought it was the dog that had sneaked out in the middle of the night, so he took a closer look at the noose around the old dog's neck. Although the noose that tied the dog was loose, it was still there. wear it?

And there is something wrong with this dog. Usually when he comes out, the old dog would come up to him and wag his tail.But today the old dog not only didn't come up to him, he didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

Just as Han Laosan was wiping the dog with a dry cloth and muttering in his heart, Huzi's sister ran out crying, saying that Huzi didn't know where he had gone.

The startled Han Laosan quickly asked what was going on, and Huzi's sister told about what happened last night. Han Laosan was even more puzzled. He fell asleep as soon as it was dark yesterday. Knock on a child's door?Could it be that traffickers came in?

A child was lost for no apparent reason. This was no small matter. Just in time for Chinese New Year, when everyone was free, everyone in the whole village helped to find him. Only in the afternoon did someone find Huzi's body by the small river at the east end of the village.

Huzi was covered in blood and was torn to pieces so he was lying in the river. Han Laosan cried when he saw it, and walked home with Huzi in his arms.

"Later, someone found dog footprints by the river, saying that the child might not have been bitten like this by a dog."

Old man Liu sighed after taking his last puff of cigarette.

"Han Laosan remembered what was wrong with the old dog that day, and the water on the dog's body and the mud on the dog's legs. Only then did he know who killed the tiger."

"This……"

Liu Yuxuan, who had listened to the whole story, was speechless for a long time. The dark night outside the window made him feel flustered—especially the native dog that Old Man Liu kept in the yard, which didn't bark much today.

"grandfather……"

Liu Yuxuan swallowed.

"What happened to that old dog?"

"It's been beaten to death, it's been bitten to death, how could it be left alone."

Old man Liu shook his head and sighed.

"The dog didn't bite Han Laosan even once until he was beaten to death... So, everything has animism. Cats, dogs, animals, etc., if you treat it well, it will treat you well. You have to beat it, Then it will be a feud..."

"Uh, Grandpa, wait a minute."

As if remembering something, Liu Yuxuan froze for a while.

"I seem to have read this story in a book. Grandpa, you are talking about a story in a novel... Yes, I remember it very clearly. It was written by an author named Tianxiabasing. He wrote this kind of supernatural and old talent. gone."

"Hey! You son of a bitch!"

Old man Liu was taken aback by the question. Originally, he thought he could educate his grandson through stories, but God knows why he capsized here.

"Grandpa, the stories are all fake and made up."

Seeing that old man Liu was questioned, Liu Yuxuan felt that his clever IQ had taken over the high ground.

"There is no such thing as animism. If it is true, dogs can be so smart, so cats should be so smart. There are also lions and tigers, wild wolves and wild boars, monkeys in the mountains, and pandas in the zoo..."

"Hey! You son of a bitch!"

Old man Liu was a little dazed by choking.

"I'm talking about dogs. Why are you talking about these useless things? Monkeys in the mountains, pandas in the zoo... Who told you that monkeys and pandas are not smart? Who did you listen to?"

"I didn't hear anyone say it, and I didn't copy the storybook either!"

"Hey! You son of a bitch!"

The dispute in the main room was still going on, and there was a faint sound of spanking, and the crying of the child mixed with the scolding of the old man.

But the old and the young, who were immersed in the dispute in the house, didn't notice it. In the kitchen of the small courtyard, a half-giant panda was listening to their dispute, wiping cold sweat secretly.

"Kids these days are really amazing, they know a lot..."

While muttering in a low voice, the half giant panda put the half goat on its shoulders on the stove.

"Brother over there, you've seen it too. I didn't take your stuff for nothing. It's a trade."

"Meat is more expensive than rice, so take it if you like."

At the door of the granary, the chained dog yawned, then lay down on the ground and gnawed on the sheep bone, pretending that the panda did not exist.

"Anyway, I just got harassed by that kid during the day, so I don't bother to care for their home."

"It's been hard work, and I will never forget you even if I have bones."

After saying hello to the earth dog, the half-giant panda carried a bag of rice and disappeared into the mountains under the night.

Chapter 2 It's nice to live in the mountains

When the half giant panda returned to the mountain, it was already late at night.

Pushing away some weeds and shrubs used as camouflage, what appeared in front of us was a shack made of branches and dry grass. The shack was backed by a cave, and a pile of bonfires in the cave had not yet burned out, and there was still curling green smoke.

"Jianguo, you're stealing people again."

The half-giant panda just entered the cave when he heard the chirping of monkeys behind him.

"I stole a whole bag of rice, it really belongs to you."

"What stealing? I call it exchange. I gave a whole half of a sheep."

Putting the bag of rice in the corner of the cave, the semi-giant panda called Jianguo couldn't help panting heavily. The weight of a bag of rice is not light. Even if the beast's body is strong enough, it would take a lot of energy to run all the way down. of.

And after the half-giant panda stretched its waist and crawled into the small nest made of withered grass, a golden monkey also jumped in under the moonlight. Stretch into the rice bag.

But before the monkey's paw could catch the rice, the bear's paw protruding diagonally slapped the monkey's paw away.

"This is a reserve grain. If you want to eat something else, isn't there still mutton?"

The half-giant panda shook its head and pushed the golden monkey aside.

"Why! I also helped when the goat was beaten! You threw the whole half of the goat to that old man down the mountain!"

When it comes to mutton, the golden monkey screams angrily. It doesn't quite understand why half a fan of sheep is exchanged for such a bag of rice. Although it doesn't know whether rice is expensive or not, it at least knows and wants to eat. Meat is not so easy.

But the half-giant panda didn't explain anything, just quietly closed its eyes and rested.

This kind of thing can't be explained. He can't explain it clearly, because there is no way to keep it fresh in the mountains. Even roasted mutton will go bad after three days, but if it is replaced with rice, it can be eaten even if it is kept for a month. Yes - this is a little more complicated for a golden monkey.

But for him with a human soul, these are common sense.

Turning into a panda should have been two months ago, or three months?There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and he can't tell how long he has been in the mountains. Fortunately, although his current panda body is not yet an adult, it is strong enough, which also gives him a little capital to survive in the mountains .

Building a shack, grilling cooked food, knowledge from human memory allowed him to quickly improve his living environment——

Although these are already shocking moves in the eyes of the golden monkey, only he knows that all this is not what he wants.
