Although the dog in the basket is less active than the other two, its eyes are not as listless as it seems. When Zheng Tan gets closer, he can see some vigilance in the puppy's eyes. color. The fur of the remaining pup is grayish, with dark brown or even almost black markings scattered throughout the body. At first glance, it reminds people of a tortoiseshell cat among cats. However, the coat color of a tortoiseshell cat It is relatively complex, has no rules, and does not have such a relatively uniform distribution of spots. After staying in the pet center for a long time, Zheng Tan has seen many dogs and heard a lot about various dogs. Once, Zheng Tan was wandering around the pet center after completing a mission with Xiao Guo. He saw a person talking to Xiao Guo, and around that person were several dogs with mixed coats that looked like they had skin diseases. , Charlie and the others said, thatĄŻs called a tabby. If you look carefully, it is true that some of the spots on those dogs are like stripes. They are different from Li Yuanba's coat color. The dog also looks very fierce. However, many people are keen on this coat color and it is relatively famous. Naturally, it is Shangrao tabby, a hound that is rumored to have been used for royal hunting. Tabby dogs may not be as amazing as some people say. Even if they are not entirely correct, it still shows that many people still like this coat color. The person talking to Xiao Guo likes this kind of tabby dog ??very much, and most of the dogs in his hand have this kind of coat color. In fact, in rural areas, native dogs with this kind of coat are not uncommon. ItĄŻs just that many of them used to look after homes in rural areas donĄŻt care about coat color and donĄŻt make that serious distinction. In fact, what matters is how to raise people. Now, out of the three puppies, only this one is left, and the main reason is the coat color. Apart from the coat color issue, Zheng Tan looked at the puppy and found it quite pleasing to the eye and not noisy. I heard from Charlie and the others that tabby dogs are generally more stubborn and fierce than other native dogs. The hunting ability is good, and it can handle housekeeping and fighting fairly well. It is more flexible than ordinary local dogs. If used for hunting, it can perform well on hills. However, because of its impatient and unsteady character, most tabby dogs are not good at hunting. In actual combat in the mountains. There are very few people who can be the leader. That's not true, it's just that in most cases. Tabby tabby dogs look cool, unlike many big yellow dogs that look honest, but Zheng Tan looked at it, and found that this little tabby dog ??was more honest and calm than the little yellow dog he bought earlier, of course. This is just an appearance. As for what he will be like when he gets acquainted with her and grows up, Zheng Tan can't tell now. People around him disliked the color of this dogĄŻs coat, but Zheng Tan felt more and more good about it the more he looked at it. The pup that was originally squatting stood up as Zheng Tan approached. He didn't bark much at first, but after staring at Zheng Tan for a while, he started to moan. The little tail is still wagging. The man selling the dog just saw a black cat running next to the dog basket and was wondering, when did there be such a black cat in the market? They are still walking around here arrogantly. Generally speaking, cats and dogs will not be so calm in the wet market. They are too murderous. They are just like the dogs in the cage who are about to be sold. They are restless in comparison. This black cat is a bit too different, neither restless nor afraid of strangers. The stall owner was about to say something, but Old Man Lan had already spoken. "What's the matter, Heitan, did you like this one?" Old Lan walked over and squatted down. Take a closer look at the puppy. He had no intention of buying it just now, but after seeing Zheng Tan's behavior, he changed his mind. "Oh, sir, this is your cat. It's so courageous." The stall owner laughed. Old man Lan said "hmm" without saying much. He looked at the puppy carefully, picked it up and took a look. Seeing that the pup didnĄŻt seem to be ill except for the ugly coat, Old LanĄŻs inner awkwardness eased a little. Looking at the black cat next to him, Old LanĄŻs inner balance tilted a little more. Seeing that Old Man Lan was hesitant, the stall owner wanted to sell the dog quickly, so he said: "Old man, this last puppy will no longer have this shop after passing this village. This dog is a good dog, otherwise the two bosses just now I donĄŻt know how to buy it. But I see that you donĄŻt like the color of the coat. Let me give you a discount. The two sold for 80 just now, and IĄŻll sell this one to you for 60. How about that?Ą± Old Man Lan didnĄŻt say anything. , seems to be still considering it. In fact, he was observing Zheng Tan's reaction. He was unsure about paying attention to the dog, so he left the choice to Zheng Tan. He found that Zheng Tan had indeed been staring at the puppy, and Old Man Lan also decided to buy the puppy. thoughts. Forget it, itĄŻs just that the coat color is not good-looking. The most important thing when choosing a dog is to check the dogĄŻs inner character. In terms of appearance, donĄŻt be too demanding, otherwise it will be inverted! Old man Lan comforted himself in his heart. ItĄŻs just that Old Man LanĄŻs silence seemed to the stall owner to be dissatisfied with the price. The old man in front of him was not wearing anything special. He didnĄŻt look like a rich man. Moreover, he knew? Old people at this age are very concerned about money and are reluctant to spend more, so the stall owner is thinking about whether to keep the price down. Hearing the cry of a puppy, the stall owner looked over to the electric tricycle and saw a puppy in a cage on the vehicle. He asked Old Man Lan: "Did you just buy the dog in your vehicle?" Having made his decision, Old Man Lan put down the puppy and stood up slowly, "Well, I just bought it, and I got a cage for sixty." Old Man Lan told the truth. However, from the perspective of the stall owner, the old man really had a problem with the price, but the puppy in his car was slightly bigger than his own, and he looked much more energetic. He even gave him a cage and yelled "sixty" by himself. If so, the deal is probably over. Seeing that no one around was interested in the puppy, the stall owner thought for a moment and said, "Well, I want to sell this puppy quickly. My wife will leave with the big dog, and she will be there soon." Come back, before she brings the dog back, I want to sell the dog, otherwise it will be forty, which is half price. In fact, except for the color of the coat, this dog is really good. When he becomes an adult, he will definitely be a dedicated housekeeper. Look at his eyes, this is the type of dog that is willing to bark at strangers, and barks harder than other dogs, and will not become silent because of fear. " The stall owner looked very honest, and he looked very sincere when he spoke. , but in fact, the stall owners were thinking that forty yuan was more than they originally thought. It was an extra profit, not a loss. As for praising the dog, this is pure nonsense. How can he look after a dog? He is just making up a few nonsense words like Boss Liu did before. Old Lan, who originally planned to pay directly and leave, lowered the price when he heard it. He paused and looked at the stall owner. He shook his head silently, then took out the money and handed it over. People around thought that Old Lan was still dissatisfied with the dog and the price, and just reluctantly accepted it. But Zheng Tan knew that Old Lan was speechless. The old man didn't care much about the dozens of dollars, but he didn't want to just say less. A few words. The stall owner immediately lowered the price. The owner of the dog basket stall has no intention of giving it away, and Old Man Lan doesnĄŻt want it either. There is room for a puppy in the cage in the car, and the two puppies can be squeezed together. Anyway, they can go back soon. Two puppies are crowded into a cage, both puppies. There wasn't much fighting, but the little yellow dog was more lively and took the initiative to tease him a few times. Zheng Tan was watching from the side. The two puppies together cost less than a hundred yuan, so cheap. For the same dog, the price is hundreds or thousands of times higher than those of expensive breeds. even more. "This dog has been selected. As for what the two dogs will look like in the future, Zheng Tan can't guarantee it. Didn't Old Man Lan say it? If he raises them crookedly in the future, it is Old Man Lan's own responsibility and has nothing to do with Zheng Tan. After returning to school, Mr. Lan placed the two puppies in the small flower garden and did not take them back to the family building. Mrs. Zhai cooked some rice paste and mixed it with some minced meat for the two puppies to eat. The two puppies ate happily. Old Man Lan named the two pups. The little yellow dog was called Qianli, and the tabby one was called Shunfeng. Old Man Lan hoped that the two dogs would be as capable as Shunfeng with clairvoyance and ears, and guard the small flower garden well, guarding against those evil things. A crooked person. That pot of orchids is still blooming, and it takes longer than other varieties of orchids to bloom. This surprises many people. Since the orchid was retrieved, Old Man Lan's small flower garden has not been open to the public, and no one can see it. Only a few people with good connections will put it in. The media also cooled down. ItĄŻs not that they donĄŻt want to report it, but that the higher-ups are suppressing it and wonĄŻt let it continue to be reported. Old Man Lan also meant the same thing. He didn't want to attract more people with evil intentions. The puppies were still small, so Mr. Lan didnĄŻt give them separate kennels. Instead, he made a temporary kennel out of a cardboard box. When the puppies grow up, he will make two larger kennels out of wooden boards. When Mr. Lan took his two pups to the pet center for check-up, he learned from the people there that dogs with coat colors like "Shunfeng" also had tiger stripes. The people at the pet center wanted to comfort Old Man Lan specifically, so they exaggerated when they spoke, which made Old Lan feel happy. In fact, no matter what, isnĄŻt he just a local dog? Many people still look down upon it. However, Old Man Lan's awkward thoughts are gone now, and he is still a little proud of picking up the slack. When he returned to school and saw Zheng Tan, he smiled so amiably. "Heitan, you have good eyesight." Zheng Tan looked at the old man who was humming a tune and walked away, thinking, he is still young. When he grows up, he will know whether his eyesight is good or not. However, every time he heard Old Man Lan shouting "Shunfeng", Zheng Tan always felt uncomfortable and would consciously add the word "Express" in his mind. Later, Old Man Lan probably thought it sounded like someone delivering express, so he The name was changed to "Shunzi". ?????????????????????????????? It turns out that the police chiefThe purpose of going to the small flower garden is to nibble on flowers. The reason why I run so frequently in the small flower garden now is because of these two pups. Zheng Tan had long known that the police chief was more interested in dogs than cats. At the beginning, the police chief was just curious. He did not go over to interact with the two puppies. Instead, he stood on the flower shed and looked at the two puppies playing below. Their necks were stretched so long that they wished they could grow into giraffes. Like his neck, his eyes followed the two puppies. After discovering the cat squatting on the flower shed, the two puppies came under the flower shed. The little yellow-haired "Qianli" opened his mouth and barked at the police chief, with an obvious childish bark. The roof of this garden shed is a slope. The highest part is about three meters above the ground, and the lowest part is less than half a meter. The place where the police sergeant squats is only one meter above the ground, otherwise the two puppies would not notice it. it. "Shunzi" didn't speak, but he raised his head and stared at the cat on the flower shed. Zheng Tan could tell from the way the sergeant's tail swung that this guy really wanted to go down and play with those two, but he probably wanted to observe more. Seeing that the police chief showed no sign, Zheng Tan walked around behind it and kicked it down. PS: The grandma who made the statement before had two dogs at home, one was a black-backed Chuan Chuan, which was very big, and the other was a native tabby, which was much smaller. But when it comes to looking after the house, the main one is the tabby tiger. It has very good ears and barks when it hears a stranger approaching the door, and then the black-backed Chuan Chuan follows suit. Later, the place was demolished. I heard that the tiger stripe never left the place. When the family took it away, it would go back and guard the place, barking at the excavator, and never left until it died. Chen Ci was still in college at that time, and when I heard the news, the dog was no longer there.
