Chapter 17 Chapter Fourteen

Grandpa Nima's family was about to move, and the headman Suolang Wangdui asked them to do so.Suolang Wangdui said: There was a lot of rain this spring, the grass grew well in summer, and the ground under the snow line was green.You should go to the distant mountains to graze, so that the grass on the grasslands on both sides of the Yelu River grows tall, and leave it for winter and next year. Next year's grass will not be as good as this year's.Tenzin Living Buddha once said that the grassland flourishes once a year, so naturally it loses once a year. Of course Medolam couldn't follow them, she had to live in another shepherd's house.Really reluctant to part with her, she said goodbye to Grandpa Nima, Banjue and Lazhen, hugged seven-year-old Norbu, and kissed his cheeks flushed.Then I said goodbye to the Tibetan mastiffs.The puppies are ignorant of worldly affairs, they are still active and playful, and they are not affected by the emotions of their elders at all.Their elders, the three big shepherd dogs and the two watchdogs, knew what migration was all about. Migration was parting, parting from the familiar grassland and wild donkey river, parting from some people and dogs who were reluctant to leave.And on this morning, the main object of separation was obviously the Han girl, Medo Ram, with her luggage at her feet.The five big Tibetan mastiffs looked at Medolam sadly, wagging their tails sluggishly and slowly.Medoram smoothed this one, patted that one, and told them with her beautiful eyes: This is the last time, at least for the whole summer and autumn, I will not be able to pat your hair and soil again.Of course, she was particularly emotional for the white lion Gabaosen. She stroked its fur, from its neck to its tail, and suddenly wept sadly, with tears streaming down its face.Gabao Senge nestled quietly in her arms, licking her hands and legs, his eyes were also wet.

Finally, say goodbye to the three puppies.She said: Quack, Gesang, Pumu, come here.Let me hug you one last time, when you come back next time, I won't be able to hug you anymore, you are big dogs.Do you still know me by then?Gesang and Pumu passed by, but the little white dog couldn't get past it. Its crippled mother and its father, Gabao Senge, the white lion, took turns pushing it over with their noses.Medolam squatted on the ground and held the three puppies in her arms, letting them bite her hand in turn.They pretended to bite hard, but they didn't hurt her as usual. The yaks carrying the tents had already set off. Ban Jue, who was leading the way, had already left on horseback. The sheep and cattle began to go on the road. The three loyal herding dogs, the white lion Gabaosange, the new lion Sajsange and the eagle Jon Pausang the Lion gave her one last wag of his tail, turned resolutely, and followed the herd.Medolam knew that it was time to let go and let the three puppies go.But she hesitated, and couldn't bear to let go. She felt that once she let go, she would lose everything, both human and dog feelings.

At this time, Grandpa Nima who was standing in front of her said something.Then Rajen said the same thing.The Han girl Medoram didn't understand what they said.Rajen waved to the crippled grandmother and the watchdog named Smaw standing beside her and said, "Go, go, or you won't be able to keep up."As soon as they left, Rajen picked up a little black dog from Medoram's arms and handed it to Grandpa Nima, then picked up another little black dog and hugged her, and said: Goodbye girl.Medoram understood this sentence.She stood up and wanted to return the little white dog Gaga in her arms to Lazhen, but she saw Razhen waved her hand and pulled a piece of cooked sheepskin from her body to make a handkerchief and put it on Gaga's head. Only then did Medoram understand that Ni The meaning of Grandpa Ma and Rajen: You like our dog so much, you can keep one.She froze, not knowing whether she should accept the gift.Grandpa Nima smiled and left.Rajen smiled too and left.When she came back to her senses, she said thank you excitedly, and said again but I can't take it, but they could no longer hear her voice.

Why not?It's impolite to refuse someone's gift, and it's such a lovely and precious gift.At this time, Medoram had no idea what would happen to the little white dog Gaga after he suddenly lost his siblings and grandma and papa.The little white dog Gaga, whose head was covered by a sheepskin towel, didn't realize anything was wrong, and was still arching, licking, scratching and biting in her warm embrace in the dark.Glasses Li Nima is here, and he is here to help Medoram move.Medoram's new home is the tent of Gongbu's neighbor, Grandpa Nima.The Gongbu family had to go to a distant mountain to graze according to the order of the headman Suolang Wangdui, but one of the most ferocious shepherd Tibetan mastiffs in their family was killed and eaten by five snow leopards the day before yesterday, and another shepherd Tibetan mastiff His stomach was scratched by the snow leopard, and he was about to die.There are so many ferocious beasts on the mountains far away, and the two housekeeping Tibetan mastiffs in their family are far from enough.The headman of Suolangwang Duitou said: Forget it. The most important thing for the Gongbu family now is to pick a few puppies from the dog group in the territory and raise them with the best beef and mutton as soon as possible. I dare not go to the grassland on the other side.

Medoram and Li Nima came to the door of Gongbu's house.The two watchdogs barked vigilantly, and Gongbu, his wife and two daughters rushed out and invited the guests into the tent.Because they often visited Grandpa Nima’s house, the two daughters and the Han girl Mei Duolamu had long been acquaintances. They laughed and took the luggage from Li Nima’s hand and put it at the foot of the tent. One of them sat on the left with Mei Duolamu On the carpet, Bibi was drawing and talking, and one of them was helping Grandma serve tea to Li Nima first, and then to Medoram. The little white dog rattled off the sheepskin handkerchief covering his head, jumped out of Medoram's arms, looked around, and ran out of the tent without hesitation.It is going to find brothers and sisters to play.When I went out to take a look, I found that there were no brothers and sisters here, nor could I see grandma and daddy. There were only two watchdogs of Gongbu's family whom he called his uncle and aunt.Uncle and aunt came over and sniffed it friendly.It imitated the big dog and shook its head irritably, then turned and walked away.It doesn't want to pay attention to them. In its impression, uncle and aunt are always serious and not fun at all.It barked with its immature voice, hoping to get an echo from its siblings or grandparents.But no, neither in the whirring tailwind nor in the more whirring headwind.It started to run, first ran around the tent of Gongbu's house twice, and after concluding that its relatives were not playing hide-and-seek with it here, it ran towards Grandpa Nima's house.

Nothing, nothing.It knows that there is no tent on the ground, and the tent has gone to the back of the yak.But what about yaks?Where did the yak go?Where did the master and the flock go?Where are the siblings, grandma and papa and all the older mastiffs?It called their names, climbed onto the cold pot, and looked into the distance.The distance is a vast unknown, a place it has never been to.It remembered that one day it and its brothers and sisters planned to go there to see what was hidden in the unknown in the distance. Before they reached the place where the river flowed, they heard the stern roar of the lame grandmother: come back, come back.They didn't listen to grandma, so grandma let her good sister, Aunt Simao, gallop over, knocked over her brother with one claw, and knocked over her sister with her nose, and then picked it up in one bite.Aunt Simao ran back to the door of the tent and handed it to Mama.Grandma opened her mouth wide and reprimanded it like a thunderclap, and almost smashed her tiger teeth into its ass.From then on, it knows that as a puppy, it must never leave the big dog and the owner's tent because of the temptation from afar.

But now, both the man and the dog have gone far away, leaving him alone.What is there in the distance?Why did they leave me?It whimpered and cried, its eyes were blurred with tears, it couldn't see anything, and it forgot that it was standing on the stove, sat back with its buttocks, and rolled down with a plop.It rolled on the ground several times, whining and chirping as if acting like a baby, suddenly felt a strong smell coming out of its nostrils, and straightened its body against a furry paw.It got up quickly, shook off the tears, and found three things that looked like dogs but were definitely not dogs standing in front of it.It was stunned, and then it screamed, and the white hair all over its body stood up immediately.

Wolf?The little white dog quack knew it was a wolf.Although it is the first time he has seen a wolf so far, the memory inherited from his ancestors made him know what a wolf smells like from the moment he was born.It screamed childishly, stretching its limbs back desperately, as if it was going to pounce.It is a descendant of Tibetan mastiff, although it is very small, not enough for three wolves to eat, and it is very scared, its tail is stiff with fear, but it doesn't know what it means to run away and beg, because in its childish There is no gene to show weakness to wolves in his bones. The meaning of wolf coming is to induce its bite and killing.

The three wolves looked at it and thought it was ridiculous, so they drooled and took a little time and patience to appreciate its ridiculousness.But it was just this little time that suddenly made a female wolf standing behind change his mind.Seeing her husband slamming the puppy with one paw, and about to bite it down, she jumped quickly and pushed her husband away with her shoulder.The she-wolf opened her mouth and picked up the little white dog, just like her own child, using just the right amount of force, neither hurting the little white dog's skin nor causing it to fall off.The she-wolf ran forward.Its husband and another male wolf chased after it and tried to snatch the food from its mouth, but it stopped it one meter away with a low growl from its chest.In the following time, the female wolf firmly refused the approach of the two male wolves.It watched them vigilantly, chose the most convenient path, and trotted towards Angla Snow Mountain.

The grassland is connected to the shrubs of Angla Snow Mountain, and the bare-backed Ba'e Qiuzhu jumped out, looked at the little white dog on the wolf's mouth, and called out in surprise: "Snow Wolf." The three snow wolves suddenly accelerated their running speed.The snow wolf is a kind of steppen wolf. They live above the cold snow line because of their thick fur and fear of heat.Like many animals on the snow line, such as snow hares, snow mice, and snow foxes, they also have snow-white down that can confuse themselves with the world of ice and snow.The color of their fur and their concealed whereabouts make them very surreptitious, and Tibetan horse bears and snow leopards on the snow line can rarely hurt them.Snow wolves are famous in the grasslands for their cunning and insidiousness. If the shepherds describe a person as dishonest, they would say that you are as cunning as a snow wolf.Snow wolves are a type of wolf that seldom get food by fighting. They always choose to appear on the grassland when they are least dangerous and most likely to fill their stomachs.For example, now, when the shepherd has just moved and there are many traces of human habitation on the grass, they even come here more timely than the crows, wanting to see if there is any abandoned carrion, bones, or a piece of skin or half a leather rope.To their surprise, an ignorant little white dog appeared in front of them.This is a small pile of fresh and tender food that makes them salivate.But the female snow wolf swallowed back the saliva. For a reason that no one knows at the moment, it quickly changed from a predator to a food protector.

The first snow-covered fan of Angla Snow Mountain facing the grassland soon appeared.The female snow wolf speeded up to distance herself from the two male snow wolves, then stopped, stepped on the little white dog with one front paw, panting.The little white dog resisted barking and bit the mother snow wolf's paw several times.The mother snow wolf licked it hard with her barbed tongue, which made the little white dog a little dizzy, and sour tears leaked from his eyes.At this time, the two male snow wolves had already caught up, and the female snow wolf took the little white dog and ran away, running across the open impact fan and into the ice-white valley of Angla Snow Mountain. Behind a snow hill, the tiger-headed snow mastiff, the mastiff king who had been lying in wait for a long time, poked out his head quietly and looked at the three snow wolves with misty eyes.The gray old mastiff and the big black mastiff Guori beside it were obviously getting impatient, and they were about to jump up and rush over.The mastiff king stopped them with his stern eyes and the action of plowing snow with his front paws, and continued to look at the three snow wolves that were getting closer with foggy eyes.It saw a female snow wolf running in front, and two male snow wolves running behind. The female snow wolf had a little white dog in her mouth, so she sniffed it with the broad nose that only a mastiff king can have. Smell, I can smell the breath of Tibetan Mastiff exuding from the little white dog, and this breath is exactly the same as that of the white lion Gabao Senge.Mastiff King Tiger Head Snow Mastiff realizes that it is the puppy of Grandpa Nima's family. Its mother is a lame Tibetan Mastiff and its father is the white lion Gabao Senge. White Lion Gabao Senge?Thinking of this name, Mastiff King Tiger Head Snow Mastiff's heart skipped a beat.Gabao Senge is really amazing. Even if he can't protect his own children, how can he be expected to protect the sheep and cattle of the shepherd's family?The mastiff king didn't attack. The mastiff king who always charged at the sight of a wolf, the tiger-headed snow mastiff, didn't attack this time.It saw three snow wolves passing quickly under its eyes with a little white dog in its mouth, instead of fulfilling the duty of a Tibetan mastiff.The duty of the Tibetan Mastiff has quietly receded under the admonition of the voice deep in the heart, and that voice is the only voice it hears at the moment: In the entire Xijiegu Grassland, only the white lion Gabao Senge dares to challenge your power and despise you You are determined to punish it. Hasn’t the day of punishment already come?Hitting it with your sharp teeth is actually the same as hitting it with the pain of losing a child. The former embodies your courage, while the latter embodies your wisdom. Both courage and wisdom are indispensable weapons for the mastiff king. . Just when Mastiff King was thinking this way, the three snow wolves had disappeared, and their vigorous figures were hidden by the long undulating icebergs and snowy ridges.Mastiff King Tiger Head Snow Mastiff barked viciously, meaning: You are lucky, sooner or later I will eat you.The partners looked at the mastiff king, some understood and some did not, but no matter they understood or did not understand, they all expressed their absolute obedience. Mastiff King Tiger Head Snow Mastiff suddenly jumped onto the snow hill, looked at the white mountain shadow, and walked forward resolutely.It uses this action to tell its partner: look for it, look for it, keep looking for it, if we can't find the target, we will never go out of the mountain. It has been more than ten days, and they wandered around the Aung La Mountains, looking for the hateful intruder.Where is Gunrisenger?Where are the seven grannies?There was information at first, the smell of Gunrisenger in the air, the smell of seven granny's children in the snow.The smart mastiff king knows that there is no smell of Gangriseng on the snow because people carry it into the Angla Snow Mountain. He also knows that people and dogs are together. As long as you find Gangriseng by smelling the air, you will find it. The children of the seven aunts; as long as they smell the snow and find the children of the seven aunts, they can find Gangrisenger.But later, the wind blew away the smell of Gunriseng, and rolled up snow powder to cover the smell of the seven grandma's children.When they could smell nothing, they began to wander around, looking from valley to valley.They didn't find what they were looking for, but they came across two Tibetan horse bears for two days in a row.They ate Tibetan horse bears for dinner; later they encountered three snow leopards twice, and they ate snow leopards for lunch again; and once they besieged and killed a strong wild yak, which fell down When they fell, an avalanche occurred in the nearby snow mountain, and they ran away. In a blink of an eye, the wild yaks were buried by the falling ice, rocks and snow.If you can't eat wild yak meat, you can eat snow wolf meat. Snow wolf meat is thick and thick.Mastiff King Tiger Head Snow Mastiff and its partners like to eat this kind of snow wolf meat. But today, they let go of the three snow wolves who should not be let go. Enduring hunger, they walked towards a tall snow peak that they had never been to. With their sharp eyes, clever ears and sensitive nose, they continued to look for the enemies of Xijie ancient Tibetan mastiff, Gangrisenger and Xijie, in the ice and snow. The seven old mother's children, the enemy of the ancients, were also looking for wild animals to feed their hunger.They like to eat carnivorous animals, and the more ferocious the beast will become the target of their hunting.They never eat those weak and docile animals, not sheep, argali, blue sheep, Tibetan antelope, wild donkeys and wild camels, not to mention elk, white-lipped deer, sika deer, horse musk deer and four elephants.Sometimes they are very hungry and tired, and they will also take the marmots and hares that are easily available to satisfy their hunger, but not often, and they will not eat a full meal.They always starve themselves, use excessive exercise when looking for food to strengthen the peristalsis of the stomach, use the peristalsis of the stomach to create an unbearable hunger, and use the unbearable hunger to urge them to challenge the courage and habits of beasts .Probably it is this habit of eating the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts that makes them the beasts that can eat all wild beasts on the grassland.To put it another way: All wild beasts always choose those animals that are weaker and more bully than themselves as their prey, but Tibetan Mastiffs always like to eat killers who are more vicious and vicious than themselves, and bloodthirsty people who are stronger and more crazy than themselves. So they became the invincible number one killer and the number one bloodthirsty on the grassland. On this day, the Mastiff King Tiger Head Snow Mastiff and its partners still haven't found Gangrisenge and the seven grandma's children.When they found a pair of lynxes, they caught them, killed them, and ate them; when they encountered a snow fox, they caught them again, killed them, and ate them.When the night comes, they are still looking for them. Compared with people, they never know what it means to be discouraged and frustrated; nor do they have a clear concept of time. How long have they been looking for?How long do you have to look for?None of these problems exist. As long as you don’t find them, you have to look for them. The day you find them is the day you finish.
