Crown Prince Zhao Huan:
Dad, you're not righteous! The Jin army is here, and you want to run. Take me with you! I don't want to be emperor.
Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji:
Raisin...
Chapter 192 Survival of the Fittest
Han Tang City.
As usual, Grandpa Liu got up early and went downstairs to walk the dog. When he left the house, he vaguely heard someone say in his ear, "You have left the safe zone." However, he did not pay much attention to it. He just thought it was an auditory hallucination due to his old age and went straight downstairs.
In the neighborhood, Grandpa Liu felt that the air today was particularly fresh, even a little sweet. At this moment, Grandpa Liu thought of his childhood, when the sky was still blue, the water was still clear, and the grass was still green. He and Wang Erya, his neighbor, ran in the fields together. That was the youth that had passed away.
The dog son was particularly excited today, jumping up and down, sniffing this and that.
Suddenly, the dog's attention was attracted by a weed on the roadside, because the weed was bearing bright red fruits with a rich fragrance.
Looking back at the owner, Uncle Liu was also staring at the nameless fruit on the weeds with wide eyes, his saliva almost flowing. The fruity fragrance was so fragrant that it felt better than any fruit he had ever eaten in his life.
The dog smelled the rich fruity aroma and his saliva was flowing. Seeing that his owner also set his eyes on the fruit, he turned his head, took advantage of his four short legs, ran to the fruit, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Shut up, you bastard!"
Uncle Liu shouted loudly, but he was still a step too late. He hurried forward to check and saw that this common weed was crystal clear and glowing with a green light. The bright red fruit above the weed was no longer there, as it had gone into the dog's stomach.
"It's a waste of natural resources."
Uncle Liu couldn't help but flick the dog on the head, then held the dog in his arms and examined it carefully.
"A common weed actually produced such a strange fruit, and you actually swallowed such a sweet fruit in one gulp. What's the difference between this and Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Liu felt something was different. The dog in his arms began to glow red.
Uncle Liu looked dazed and in panic, he accidentally threw the dog out of his arms.
After landing, the dog, which was originally the size of a shoe box, grew to the size of a millstone in the blink of an eye as if it was blown up. Its fur was shiny black, its eyes were bright, and its interlaced teeth in its big mouth flashed with white sharpness.
"This is really a ginseng fruit. Teddy has turned into a Tibetan Mastiff!" Uncle Liu sat down on the ground and muttered to himself.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo"
The dog felt that there was something extra in his head, which was isolated by a transparent cover and continuously emitted weak energy. At this moment, the dog felt that he was stronger than ever before. If he met a bullfighting again next time, he would definitely be able to defeat it.
The dog walked with graceful steps to the side of Grandpa Liu, stretched out its front paws, touched Grandpa Liu's head, and then barked a few times.
"Old Liu, Lord Gou will protect you from now on."
It was clearly a barking sound, but these words popped up in Uncle Liu's mind.
"You? Lord Dog!"
"Me? Old man Liu!"
Fear, dullness, curiosity, all emotions were filled with anger.
Uncle Liu shook off the dog's front paws, jumped up from the ground, flipped over onto the dog, and started hitting the dog's head.
"You're outrageous! Who do you think you are? I raised you with all my might, and you dare to act pretentiously in front of me? I'll beat you to death! Forget turning into a Tibetan mastiff. Even if you turn into a dragon, you'll have to coil around me. Even if you turn into a tiger, you'll have to lie down for me..."
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof"
"You know you're wrong, right?"
Your uncle is still your uncle.
Grandpa Liu and his dog, which evolved into a Tibetan Mastiff, continued to stroll downstairs. Taking advantage of the fact that there were not many people going downstairs at around five o'clock, they wanted to see if there were any other similar magical fruits in the community.
"One."
"Two."
"Eight."
Finally, Grandpa Liu and Gou Zi found eight more magical fruits downstairs. They were of various colors, and without exception, they were crystal clear and fragrant.
Seeing that more and more people came downstairs to walk their dogs, get water, and buy breakfast, the number of people gradually increased. Grandpa Liu tightened the fruit in his arms and took his dog back home.
Mr. Liu, 65, was a workshop manager at a vehicle manufacturing plant before his retirement. He was very skilled in his hands. His wife passed away early, and his two children are both working hard in Shanghai. After retirement, he raised a dog to keep him company.
Uncle Liu lined up the fruits on the table, and instantly the room was filled with flowers and fragrance.
The dog squatted on the side, also staring straight at it, with an expression that could be described in two words - want to eat!
“Woof woof woof. Woof woof woof.”
Gou Zi stuttered and told Uncle Liu about the magic and deliciousness of the fruit.
Uncle Liu was not a hesitant person. He picked out a yellow fruit that looked like a pear from the pile of fruits and took a bite of most of it.
The fruit melted in his mouth, oozing with juice. A rich breath of life permeated his entire body. Uncle Liu's parched skin quickly became plump, his graying hair darkened, and his slightly hunched body straightened. In just a few minutes, Uncle Liu seemed to have aged decades.
In his mind, Uncle Liu saw some scattered fragments of memories: a big man with his upper body naked, holding a huge hammer, hammering iron like a whirlwind, making a clanging sound.
At the same time, some knowledge about blacksmithing, refining, and material extraction was also instilled into Uncle Liu's mind.
Uncle Liu covered his head, wailed in pain twice, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
The dog immediately ran to Uncle Liu's side, felt Uncle Liu's nose with its paws, felt relieved, squatted beside him, and played the role of guardian.
