21 Chapter 21 The Old Dog Who Weeps at the Grave(2/2)
After recognizing the wrong grave, he recognized the wrong person again.
The old dog raised his paws and patted his son's head gently: "Sister, after the master left, I thought about leaving too. It was pointless, but I didn't leave. Do you know why?
"
Diandian's son was a little confused: "Why?"
"Hey, you are a big girl's child." The old dog's eyesight is not good, but his hearing is not bad, especially when he is so close. He turned his head and sighed longly towards Liang Jinxiu, "Big sister, death is actually not terrible, even more so.
The terrible thing is to be forgotten."
Liang Jinxiu: "..."
"My master has been selling tofu all his life. He has three sons and two daughters. He built a wedding house for his two sons, married a wife, sent his younger son to college, and sent his two daughters to get married. The dowry was not much, but it was
Tried my best.”
The old dog turned his head and did not admit his mistake this time. He watched the evening breeze blowing the white wreath that looked like a gentle cry: "He is a qualified father, but do you know? When he left, I was the only one beside him."
Old Man Tofu has three sons. The youngest son stayed in another city after graduation, the second son is doing business in the city, and the eldest son has also settled in the city.
As for the two daughters, the married daughter throws away water and there is no way to provide for her in old age.
The old dog didn't know whether it was because the old man didn't want to go to the city to join his son, or because the son didn't agree to let him go.
When it was bought, the owner was alone.
The owner regarded him as his son and raised him from a puppy. When he got old, he got old too, and they kept him company together.
In his later years, the owner had almost no ability to take care of himself. He cooked a pot of glutinous rice every morning and ate pickles all day long.
My son comes here about once a month, bringing a bucket of oil, a box of milk, etc., chatting with him, and then returns to the city.
The old dog knew that its owner really wanted to stay with the children for a while. Every time, he would stand at the door for a long time and watch the departing figures, and then return to the empty old house with him.
On the day he left, he seemed to have a premonition and called his son and daughter early in the morning.
The old dog couldn't understand what was said, but he understood that the owner wanted to see his children again.
No one who comes back has a reason why he can't come.
Among them, the younger daughter was in a bad mood and had a fierce tone.
The owner still had hope and sat at the door, waiting for a long time until the sky was filled with stars.
The master sighed softly, as if those were his last words to the world. He returned to the house, put on the shroud he had bought early, and lay down quietly.
Many animals are more sensitive to the smell of death than humans.
The old dog smelled it.
It jumped on the bed and snuggled gently next to its owner. Just like that, it watched its owner smile at it, closed its eyes little by little, and its body became colder.
At dawn, its owner left.
It ran to the yard door and whimpered.
A villager noticed something was wrong and followed it in.
Without these, the owner may not be discovered until the body is rotten and smelly.
The owner's son and daughter all came back, crying loudly, but there were not many tears in their eyes. They held a grand funeral for the owner. What is it called a funeral? There were many strangers that the old dog had never seen before.
people.
They are all relatives, friends and colleagues of the owner’s son and daughter.
It is not a human being and has no qualifications to wear mourning. It can only follow behind the urn to see its old master on his last journey.
"None of them wanted to take me away. They even kicked me hard because they thought I was in the way when we were eating. Of course, I wouldn't leave." There were no tears in the old dog's eyes, and his gaze seemed to be penetrating.
The night is getting darker and darker, "Old girl, if I die, no one will remember the master anymore."
