When the sun rose from the east, the morning light sprinkled over the earth, and they realized that a new day had arrived.
The villagers of Konglou Village did not have the habit of sleeping in. Even if they did not have to do farm work, they would still wake up early.
There were a few sparrows chirping in the trees by the roadside. The first bus to the town had already set off.
The village was filled with smoke and peace.
There was a supermarket in the city, so he could buy whatever he wanted at any time.
However, the village was different, especially in the past. It was not easy to enter the city once, and it was difficult to buy anything. Therefore, there was a gathering.
Some of them were on the ninth day of the third lunar month, while others were on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month. They set up stalls early in the morning at fixed places to trade what they needed.
Especially in the days before the New Year, everyone had to prepare for the New Year. The market was especially lively. When Xu Cheng was young, he loved going to the market the most. He was willing to get up early because there were delicious snacks in the market.
Yesterday, Xu Cheng felt that he needed a dog now, so he rode a motorcycle to the market with Chen Xiaodong early in the morning.
Today was especially different. The hawkers from the surrounding villages had come to Konglou Village. It was a relatively large scale and there were many people. There were vegetables, chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, and naturally, there were dogs.
Xu Cheng's first goal was naturally to buy a dog, so he came to the dog market area.
There were all kinds of cages with all kinds of dogs. It was very lively.
"Brother, are you buying a dog? My purebred husky is 500 yuan each. Wait, if you want it, we can discuss the price.”
Xu Cheng turned his head and looked at the purebred husky that the dog vendor was talking about. He almost burst out laughing. His two ears were drooping, and he did not look like he was on fire. Whether it was his expression or his eyes, he did not have the boldness of a husky. He was purely fooling people.
Even if it was really a purebred husky, Xu Cheng would not buy it. He did not want to be surprised every time he came home.
Chen Xiaodong laughed.
"Big Brother Cheng, I think these foreign dogs are not as good as our local dogs. It's useless that they're difficult to raise. Last year, Third Peng's daughter-in-law got a gray curly-haired puppy. It had to eat dog food every day. It ate a few hundred yuan and didn't grow.”
Xu Cheng smiled. Chen Xiaodong was probably talking about the poodle that lived in the sun and the earth. It would be strange if that kind of pet dog could look after the house. Moreover, in the countryside, especially when its owner was not around, it would be pressed to the ground by other bullies.
As the two of them walked and chatted, Xu Cheng's eyes never stopped. He kept sweeping the dog cages on both sides of the road, looking for a dog that caught his eye.
This feeling was like finding a partner. On the road of life, one had always been looking for the other half that one had affinity with. When they met a good-looking one, they might stop and chat. Sometimes, the price might not be suitable, and sometimes, they might dislike each other.
After that.
Unknowingly, they were almost at the end of the road, but they still didn't see anything they liked.
"Big Brother Cheng didn't take a fancy to anyone? "Why don't I go back and ask around? I'll just go and hug a female dog that has given birth," Chen Xiaodong said.
" That's the only way." Just as Xu Cheng was about to leave, a dog vendor caught his attention.
It couldn't be said that it was a dog vendor, because other dog vendors were very professional. They used cages to hold all kinds of puppies. His was more casual. He squatted by the roadside and smoked comfortably. There were three puppies in the dustpan.
The old man was in his sixties. Xu Cheng walked up to him. He glanced at Xu Cheng and continued smoking.
Xu Cheng didn't care about his attitude and kept looking at the dog seriously.
The three little puppies were not big. They were a little smaller than ordinary teddy poodles. Two of them were yellow and one was black. One of the yellow puppies was looking around while the other two were playing like lovers on the street.
At first glance, these three puppies looked no different from ordinary dogs, but on a closer look, they were different.
The tails of ordinary dogs were curled up, but these three tails were drooping down. Moreover, the tails were thin and short, and the mouths were not long. They were like ears and were a little wide.
Xu Cheng finally remembered what breed it was. It should be a special kind of house hound, Tiger Head Yellow. There was no such dog near Konglou Village.
As for why they appeared here, Xu Cheng was completely uninterested.
"How much is this dog?" Xu Cheng asked.
The old man lit a new cigarette with the one he was almost out of. He took a puff and said,"Five hundred for one, no bargaining."
Before Xu Cheng could say anything, Chen Xiaodong, who was at the side, widened his eyes and said,
"Aren't you just an ordinary little dog? Normally, you would sell them for 30 to 50 yuan. If you went to someone else's house to carry them, you would at most give them a pack of cigarettes.”
" Big Brother Cheng, let's go. This old man is crazy. He's asking for 500 yuan for a little dog." Chen Xiaodong wanted to pull Xu Cheng away.
Xu Cheng knew that Chen Xiaodong was afraid that he would be cheated of his money, so he waved his hand to signal him to rest assured." I want two."”
As he spoke, Xu Cheng took out the money, counted it, and gave it to the old man. He picked up the black and yellow pair that had been playing around.
The old man took the money and put it in his pocket without saying anything. He continued to smoke his cigarette.
" Brother Cheng, you really bought it?" Chen Xiaodong was puzzled.
Xu Cheng held one in each hand and explained as he walked,"Little Dong, you don't know. This isn't an ordinary dog. This is a famous domestic hound, Tiger Head Yellow.”
"Tiger Head Yellow? I've never heard of it. Is it very powerful?" Chen Xiaodong asked.
Xu Cheng nodded with certainty." It's very powerful. When it grows up, it's even stronger than a golden retriever. Most importantly, it's smart and brave enough. Whether it's guarding the house or hunting, it's better than ordinary dogs. 500 yuan for one is definitely worth it.“
" Oh." Chen Xiaodong hung his head. Obviously, he still couldn't accept the setting of 500 yuan for a dog.
