Chapter 65

65 Black Dragon, the loyal dog

Xia Pingan wandered around Xiangyang City while thinking.

Why were there not many people who could successfully merge with this realm Pearl?

It was very simple, because the person who had fused with this realm Pearl had no idea what they were here for.

When he had heard the news of the great victory in Yiling in the tavern, perhaps the first reaction of the person who had fused with the realm Pearl was that it might be an ” important clue “. Then, he had plunged into the furnace of history, thinking of ways to get to know historical figures like Lu Xun and fight for his own future.

In the end, they naturally wouldn’t get anything.

“Do you know where I can find a dog?” Xia Pingan asked the manservant who was following him as they walked.

“Young master, do you want to keep a dog?” The manservant was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, ” if you want to buy a dog, there is one in the East City!

“Okay, let’s go to the East City to see Yingluo.”

The two of them had not walked far when Xia Pingan saw a few children pointing at the river in front of them and shouting, ” look, look! There’s a dog in the river!

Xia Pingan walked to the river and looked into the river. Sure enough, there was a dog in the river, floating down with the current.

It was a black puppy. It was struggling in the river in fear and helplessness. It had floated down from the upper reaches but somehow fell into the river. Fortunately, the puppy was smart. It held onto a Dry Branch tightly with its forelimbs, so it stuck its head out of the water and did not sink completely into the water.

The river outside Xiangyang City was only seven to eight meters wide. The river water was green and clear. When they saw a puppy in the river, the children started to point at it.

As soon as Xia ping ‘an saw the black puppy, an idea came to her mind. Without thinking, she immediately rushed to the river, took off her shoes and her Crimson silk robe, and threw it to the servant boy. Under the surprised eyes of the servant boy and a few passers-by, she suddenly jumped into the water and swam quickly toward the black puppy.

“Is your young master crazy?” A few passers-by looked at the manservant beside Xia Pingan and said to him.

They had never seen anyone jump into a River to save a dog.

The manservant was also anxious, afraid that something would happen to his young master. Seeing someone driving the Ducks over not far away, he quickly went to borrow a bamboo pole from the duck driver.

The river wasn’t too fast. Xia Pingan swam to the black puppy and used one hand to drag it out of the water. Then, he quickly swam to the shore and saw his manservant running over with a bamboo pole. His face was pale.

young master,

hahaha, it’s fine. If you want a dog, you’re here. Hurry up and bring me my clothes!

The servant hurriedly handed over Xia Pingan’s clothes, which he was carrying, and then returned the bamboo pole to the duck driver.

Xia Pingan took her clothes and wiped the Black Dog, who was trembling all over, clean of the water on its body before putting on her clothes again.

“Young master, do you really have to do this for a dog?” The manservant whispered when he got the chance.

“It’s really necessary! you don’t understand, but remember not to talk nonsense when you go back. I bought this dog in the East Market today, do you understand?”

“Oh, I know!” The manservant nodded. Seeing that Xia ping ‘an seemed to like this puppy very much, he went along with Xia ping’ an’s words and said, ” this dog was saved by young master today. Why don’t young master give it a name? ”

this is a Black Dog, and it came from the water. Let’s call it Black Dragon! Xia ping ‘an patted the head of the little black dog in his arms. The little black dog raised its head and looked at Xia ping’ an with pitiful eyes. come, let’s go home!

Xia Pingan brought the black puppy home happily.

Zheng Xia saw that the grass in the wilderness was deep and the rabbits were fat. There might be a lot of prey in the grass, but there was no one around. Therefore, he asked his men to set fire in the wilderness and drive out the prey. After the fire, this field could be reclaimed next year.

In the blink of an eye, the fire had been ignited. With a blow of the wind, the wild fire rapidly spread over the wilderness like a Prairie Fire.

Xia ping ‘an fell asleep in the grass. Looking at the approaching fire line around him, the Black Dragon cried out anxiously. The Black Dragon tried to bite Xia ping’ an’s clothes and drag her out of the grass, but Xia ping ‘an was too heavy. A sleeping person was not something a dog could drag.

In order to drag Xia ping ‘an away from the burning grass, the Black dragon’s mouth was covered in blood, and his teeth were torn off by Xia ping’ an’s clothes.

The Black Dragon was so anxious that it kept licking Xia Pingan’s face, but Xia Pingan still couldn’t wake up.

Looking at the gradually approaching line of fire, the Black Dragon suddenly thought of something. It turned around and rushed towards a small stream tens of meters away. It soaked its body in the stream and brought it back to Xia ping ‘an’s side. It then shook its body and sprinkled all the water droplets on its body onto Xia ping’ an’s body and the grass beside him.

Xia Pingan still did not wake up.

The Black Dragon once again rushed into the small stream not far away and made its body wet again. It then rushed back again and continued to pour water from its body, wetting Xia Pingan’s clothes and the dry grass around him.

The Black Dragon kept running around Xia ping ‘an tirelessly, running back and forth between the stream and Xia ping’ an again and again. Once, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.

It was as if it was drizzling beside Xia Pingan.

......

The line of fire that was approaching Xia ping ‘an finally stopped when it encountered the wet grass more than ten meters away.

Seeing that the line of fire was not getting closer, the Black Dragon came to Xia ping ‘an’s side for the last time. It splashed the water on its body onto Xia ping’ an’s face and licked it one last time. Its body swayed a few times, and in the end, it persevered and walked away, falling by the stream.

The Black Dragon originally wanted to walk a little further, but he really couldn’t walk anymore. He was too tired.

......

At daybreak, Xia Pingan was woken up by the servants at home. He opened his eyes and saw the wet grass stems beside him that had not caught on fire. He also saw the Black Dragon lying by the stream in the distance. His tears fell immediately.

Xia Pingan knew what had happened.

young master, it’s the Black Dragon who saved you. The Black Dragon died of exhaustion yesterday. When we found the Black Dragon, only the Black Dragon’s fur and the grass on your body and beside the fire line were wet. housekeeper Zhou started to cry. the old people always say that when a dog is about to die, it will walk to a place where its master can’t see it before it dies. Young master, the Black Dragon you raised is a loyal dog who risked his life to save his master. Even when he’s about to die, he wants to walk a little further before dying. I’m afraid you’ll be sad!”

......

The story of the loyal dog Black Dragon saving its master had caused a stir in the entire Xiangyang City in just a few days. Even the governor had been alarmed and had sent someone to inquire about this matter.

Xia ping ‘an used a coffin to bury the Black Dragon. He built a tall dog tomb in Ji Nan. The tomb was about ten feet tall, and a stone tablet was erected in front of the tomb to record the Black Dragon saving its master.

......

This might be the world’s first grave built for a dog.

According to history, the one who built this loyal dog tomb was Mayor Zheng Xia, but Xia Pingan did not wait for Zheng Xia to do it and built it himself.

A thousand years later, the city of Xiangyang had resisted the yuan Dynasty Army for a full five years!

Hero Guo in the novel had once performed a tragic scene in this city.

Xia Pingan’s heart pounded as he looked at the Black Dragon’s grave and thought of the scene where the Black Dragon had saved his master.

The world of the realm Pearl turned into a rain of light and shattered.
