"What the hell is that thing that got in here?"
Yang Zheng checked the time; it was already past 10 p.m.
On the first day after moving in, just to be on the safe side, we still had to go out and check things out.
Thinking of this, he immediately left the bedroom and turned on the streetlight in the front yard.
He was also holding a flashlight in his hand.
I went to check the main gate first. The iron gate was already tightly closed and bolted from the inside. Now, even if the landlord wanted to come in, he would have to beg him to open the gate.
Outside the gate, apart from the dim yellow streetlights shining alone on the roadside in the distance, there wasn't a soul in sight.
Yang Zheng frowned, turned on his flashlight, and began searching everywhere in the spacious front yard.
I heard it very clearly from inside the bedroom; something definitely crawled in.
A glass canopy was built at the end of the front yard near the wall.
The awning is quite large; I guess it used to be where the landlord parked his electric bikes, but now it's filled with clutter.
As Yang Zheng drew closer, a rustling sound came from the dark corner of the awning.
"Something is hiding inside..."
When he shone his flashlight over, he discovered it was a black stray dog.
The stray dog curled up on a tattered piece of clothing, its eyes reflecting light as it stared at him.
As Yang Zheng approached, the black stray dog not only didn't bare its teeth, but instead curled up even tighter.
His ears were tucked in, his head was bowed, and his whole body was trembling slightly; he was extremely timid.
Judging from its flustered appearance, it seems that it has often been chased away and beaten.
Seeing its fear, Yang Zheng did not go any further, mainly because he was afraid of being bitten.
Dogs are hard to explain.
Sometimes, the quietest dogs are the ones that are most unpredictable.
It's obvious that this stray dog has been making its home here for a while.
After a moment's thought, Yang Zheng decided to observe it for two days and not drive it out for the time being.
I took the flashlight and carefully examined it.
It was discovered that this was a mixed breed of a local dog and a pet dog.
It's not very big, with short limbs, and probably weighs only a dozen kilograms.
Its fur was long and messy, with many black hairs tangled together, making it look very dirty. It was also very thin, practically skin and bones.
Now that he knew it was a stray dog making its home there, Yang Zheng felt relieved.
I've been busy looking for a place and moving all afternoon, and I haven't eaten yet. My stomach has been growling with hunger for ages.
Luckily, I still have two packs of instant noodles from last time, and I think I also have a few sausages.
I'll just grab some instant noodles and call it a day.
This place is too remote. In Xiahua Village, apart from a few small shops and a small supermarket, there isn't even a night market stall.
If we want to eat out, we have to ride our bikes all the way to the industrial park at the entrance of the village, which is too much trouble.
Yang Zheng turned on the water dispenser and waited for the water to boil before soaking both packets of instant noodles.
Since he was able to make money in the small world, he has become arrogant.
When I'm hungry, I just go out to eat. I haven't even looked at instant noodles properly in a long time.
It's perfect timing, it can be used in an emergency today.
Holding a bowl of freshly made instant noodles with two broken sausages on top, he pulled up a small stool and sat down at the front door to wolf it down.
Soon, the noise he made while eating noodles caught the attention of the stray dog.
The stray dog raised its head and stared at him with longing in its eyes.
Yang Zheng originally thought that the stray dog would come running up to him, but it didn't.
They're probably terrified of being chased away and beaten!
Looking at the skinny, timid stray dog, Yang Zheng sighed inwardly.
These days, many people, and many dogs, are having a tough time living.
Thinking of this, he picked up a piece of sausage with his chopsticks, waved it at the stray dog, and then threw it on the ground. "Tsk tsk tsk... Come and eat..."
The stray dog's ears immediately perked up, and it sniffed around a few times, but it still didn't come over, even though the longing in its eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Yang Zheng refused to believe it and threw another piece of sausage, but the dog still didn't come over.
It's very wary; it seems to have absolutely no trust in humans.
"Forget it, let's just ignore it!"
Yang Zheng shook his head and carried the empty bowl into the house.
Just a short while after he entered the house, through the crack in the door, he clearly saw the black stray dog carefully climb out of its kennel, then limped over to pick up two pieces of sausage, return to its kennel, and begin to chew and swallow them in large mouthfuls.
Judging from their appearance, they must be starving.
"Its left hind leg looks injured?"
He saw it very clearly when the stray dog was limping.
I don't know if it was injured by someone or in a fight with another dog.
Thinking of this, an idea struck him. He thought to himself, "There's some thick liquid from the exotic fruit in the wine glass. I'll give it some as an experiment and heal its leg injury in the process."
That's what we'll do!
Do it right away if you have an idea.
Stray dogs are so wary; it's definitely impossible to force-feed them.
I reckon it would have already run away by the time I got close enough.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized I had two sausages left. I decided to coat them with the dark red liquid from the fruit pit, so it would definitely eat them too.
Soon, Yang Zheng placed two sausages coated in the red liquid of the exotic fruit at the front door.
Just to be on the safe side, he even poked a deep hole in the middle of the two sausages with chopsticks and poured in some of the red liquid from the exotic fruit.
After doing all this, he went back inside and quietly stood behind the door crack, observing from the shadows.
really,
Yang Zheng entered the room within seconds.
The black stray dog limped away again and carried the sausage away.
After it wolfed down the two sausages, Yang Zheng became a little nervous.
Because he didn't know how the stray dogs would react or change.
At first, the stray dog did not show any adverse reactions after eating the sausage; instead, it kept licking the ground and its paws.
However, less than three minutes later, the black dog began to act strangely.
It kept sticking out its tongue to pant, and its emaciated body was trembling slightly uncontrollably. In the end, the trembling became more and more violent.
This unusual reaction lasted for several minutes, after which the stray dog slowly lay down on the ground and stopped moving.
"Unconscious? Or asleep?"
Thinking back to today on the cliff, the severely injured white tiger ate the fruit pit and then seemed to fall asleep not long after, only to wake up ten minutes later and regain its ferocious state.
Seeing that the stray dog was no longer moving, Yang Zheng hurriedly grabbed a flashlight and went over to check on it.
He didn't dare get too close.
Observe the dog's physical changes carefully from two meters away.
The stray dog's injured hind leg was pinned down by its body and was completely invisible.
In this situation, Yang Zheng dared not make a move and could only wait patiently.
As time passed, he suddenly smelled a foul stench. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was emanating from a stray dog.
A few minutes later, the stray dog, which was unconscious, seemed to secrete a large amount of dark brown liquid.
At this moment, the dog also began to make soft whimpering sounds.
This process lasted for about half an hour.
Finally, the stray dog, who had been unconscious, slowly opened its eyes and stood up.
For some reason, Yang Zheng felt that the stray dog's eyes had changed, becoming unusually bright.
I just don't know if its leg injury has healed yet?
Thinking of this, he deliberately turned around and went back into the house, throwing the sausage wrapper he had just torn off at the door.
Very soon,
The stray dog then trotted over.
Its movements are normal; its leg injury has healed, and it seems much more agile and nimble than before.
It is evident that the red liquid from this exotic fruit can not only instantly heal injuries but also strengthen the body.
"Very good!"
"Now I can rest assured!"
Upon seeing this, Yang Zheng was extremely excited.
He rushed into the house, picked up the second strange fruit, and peeled and removed the flesh as quickly as possible, then took out the ping-pong ball-sized seed inside.
