Chapter 1 My old black man

As the saying goes: A chicken lasts only six years, and a dog lasts eight years.

When I was a child, I had a big black dog at home. It was all black without any mottled colors.

My grandma often said that it was the barking dog of Erlang Shen. It understood human nature and it accompanied me as long as I had memories.

My grandma said that my grandpa picked up this dog on the roadside and only gave it half a piece of cornbread, so it came home with my grandpa.

Grandpa saw that it was pitiful, so he kindly took it in, and it lasted for three or four years.

In the fifth year, my mother gave birth to me. The strange thing is that I didn't cry when I was born. This is very unlucky in our hometown. In addition, I am a girl and my grandma is quite superstitious.

She often kept nagging that I was a nemesis and would bring disaster to the family, which even made my father throw me away.

Fortunately, a blind beggar passed by my house and understood the situation while begging. After hearing this, the blind beggar smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations, this girl will definitely be rich in the future."

Grandma rolled her eyes at him angrily, and said angrily: "How can a stinky girl get rich in a movie?"

My grandfather is an honest man. Although he says that I am a girl, he is still a part of the Liu family.

My grandfather has been wandering around all year round, and he has heard more or less people say that blind men are the most powerful fortune tellers. He also saw that the blind beggar had a mysterious aura even though his clothes were in tatters, so he asked politely: "Old sir, my granddaughter has never been

You haven’t spoken since you were born, look at this..."

The blind beggar said with a "hehe" smile: "This is easy to handle."

He turned back and walked straight to the kennel. Grandpa, grandma, and father looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't know what he was going to do.

I saw the blind beggar gently patting my black dog. It's strange to say that this dog usually barks wildly when seeing strangers, but today for some reason, it was so well-behaved.

"That girl doll is your master. You will be her in the future. You can protect her until she is five years old."

After finishing speaking, the blind beggar came to me again and said to me: "Don't worry! As long as he is here, everything will be fine."

After the blind beggar finished speaking, I burst into tears. Grandpa and grandma cried out to God. Dad even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank me.

To express his gratitude, grandpa gave the blind beggar two silver dollars and asked his father to prepare some white-flour steamed buns. Unexpectedly, the blind beggar refused directly and said, "I have a fate with this girl, and we will meet again in the future."

After that, he walked out the door. When his father chased him out, the blind beggar had long disappeared.

When my father returned home, he discussed with my grandmother and the others what to name me. My family name is Liu, and everyone in my family hoped that I would be a son. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out, so in order to long for a "son," they named me Ai'er.

Liu Aier.

Even though I am a girl, I have been naughty and troublesome since I was a child. Climbing trees and climbing walls is commonplace.

Every time I go out to play, my big black dog follows behind me. Looking at its black fur, I give it a name - Lao Hei.

With Lao Hei by my side, I became much more courageous. One time when I went out to play, I met four boys from the same village. They scolded me for playing with dogs and laughed at me. I couldn't bear to listen, so I started to beat them.

The four of them.

Lao Hei squatted aside and shouted twice from time to time, as if to cheer me up.

The four boys were beaten by me until they cried for father and mother, and quickly ran away.

When I went home in the evening, all four of them brought their parents to my house to make trouble. Seeing the four people with bruises and swollen faces, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Grandma picked up the broom and greeted me. My old man jumped out and bit the broom in Grandma's hand. I took the opportunity to run out. Grandma cursed a few times angrily and said good things to the other four people. Finally,

That's all.

In this way, I reached the age of five, and something happened in this year that changed my life.

On this day, Lao Hei and I went out to play as usual. There were solitary graves in the west of our village. When I was young, I was not sensible, so I randomly found a grave and sat on it, while Lao Hei squatted beside me.

Somehow, I was having a good time playing on it, but suddenly everything went dark and I couldn't see anything.

"Woof woof! woof woof! woof woof!"

Lao Hei barked three times in a row, and I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat, because Lao Hei only barks when he is in danger, and today he barked three times in a row. I was extremely scared at the time.

"Old Hei, what's wrong?"

"Woof woof!"

After Lao Hei called, there was no movement. No matter how much I called, there was no response.

"Lao Hei, Lao Hei..."

"Ai'er, Ai'er."

"Look, Aier is awake."

I vaguely heard my father's voice. He hurriedly picked me up, while my mother cried into tears beside me.

Grandma was nagging at the side: "There is no good place to play! If you have to go to the cemetery to play, it's better now! It's a pity that the black dog is there."

"Old Hei?" I looked at Grandpa with wide eyes.

Grandpa sighed: "Oh! We saw you didn't come home very late last night, so we looked for you everywhere, and finally found you in the cemetery in the west. Lao Hei was lying next to you dying, with bite marks everywhere on his body, and

…”

Grandpa couldn't talk anymore. After all, he had been with Lao Hei for the longest time.

Dad took it and said: "Old Hei's eyes seemed to have been gouged out. When we arrived, he was dead, as if he was waiting for us to come over."

"Eye?"

Then I suddenly remembered what happened when I was sitting on the grave, and suddenly my eyes began to hurt violently.

"Ah! My eyes hurt so much..."

Mom held my face nervously and looked into my eyes carefully.

"Ah! Goudan (this is my dad's nickname.) Why do you look at our daughter like this?"

As I said this, my father came over and when he saw my eyes, he was so frightened that he took two steps back.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Grandma said angrily: "Ouch! This must have provoked something unclean. What a sin!"
