When I was young, my father kept a big dog with a dark coat and a very human nature. His name was also very powerful, saying that the big dog was also raised from a puppy. Since I can remember, the black dog has been a big dog. Isn't raising a dog just to look after the home and protect the hospital? At that time, the public security on the streets of Beijing had just been liberated, and petty theft happened from time to time in hutongs.

Every morning when my father goes to work, he will follow my father to the alley mouth, and my father will say, "Go back, sunspot!" " In the evening, he would go to the street and stand on the side of the road waiting for my father. As soon as he saw his father coming back on a bicycle, he would run back quickly and scratch the door with his front paws several times to tell him twice. Then he ran back to the street and trotted back after his father's bicycle. At that time, there were not so many people and cars in the alley.

At that time, I often played war games with a group of friends in the alley. A group of children ran with sticks of different lengths and shouted loudly: "Go, kill!" Sunspots are always brave in the front, and they keep barking loudly as if cheering for us. Usually, wherever I go, the sunspot follows me. Whether it's taking pictures, pinball or pressing the triangle, the sunspot climbs under the wall and reposes. The sunspot and I are inseparable.

There is a mutton shop in the Western Market, which is called "mutton bed" by Beijingers. His third son likes sunspots very much. He can't help pulling a small piece of mutton from the wooden case and giving it to Sunspots to eat. Faced with such gourmet sunspots, he just sniffed it, then looked up at me with his eyes and waited for me to speak. I said loudly, "Sunspots, eat." Sunspots immediately put the mutton in their mouths and chewed it. Sunspots are also familiar with the little buddies in the alley, and they also roll on the ground to play with Sunspots, but as soon as I leave Sunspots, I will follow behind me and say goodbye to them immediately.

In the first few years after liberation, the public security in the streets was not very good, especially in the summer, there were quite a few people who "swept Liangzi". "Sweeping Liangzi" is a common saying in Beijing, and it is also an old Beijing dialect, which means a petty thief who steals when it is dawn. Nowadays, this word is rarely used. The first few yards in the alley were visited, and several pieces of clothes hanging on the wire in the yard were lost, which was also a major economic loss at that time. It's even worse for the minibus's family. Even the western big clock was stolen by the gentleman on the beam, which made the minibus's mother cry, and scolded the little thief from a distance for a long time and cursed them for a natural death.

Once, a Liangzi sweeper came to the front of the No.5 courtyard and gently opened the latch with a knife. When he entered the courtyard, he wanted to steal clothes to dry. Unexpectedly, the sunspot rushed out of the room with bamboo curtains hanging, and he just barked at the two villains and threw himself down. The other one was so scared that he squatted on the ground and trembled all over. Sunspots this quiet movement is big, woke the whole hospital, put on clothes, walked out of the house, and surrounded two people in the middle to accuse them. At that time, it was not fun to hit people. The two men bowed and bowed, and the sunspot was squatting next to them, eyes tightly fixed on their every move, ready to pounce.

As far as guarding the home is concerned, Sunspot is definitely a good dog, but his fate is not good. In a few years, Beijing began to beat wild dogs in order to prevent rabies. In order to distinguish domestic dogs from wild dogs, the government asked dog owners to buy an iron tag to wear around their dogs' necks. After their father bought a dog tag for Sunspot, they hung it around Sunspot's neck. When they went out, they stopped asking about the dog tag. But it doesn't work to hang a dog tag for a long time, and even a dog with a brand can play it right.

The common people say that beating a dog is not beating a dog when they see it with a stick. In fact, they use a special tool to trap the dog. They hold a bamboo pole that is one meter long and has iron covers at both ends. A very thin steel wire passes through the bamboo pole and both ends have movable buckles. Once the steel wire is tightened around the dog's neck, the dog is strangled. If you want to bite, where is the bamboo pole? The dog can only howl. Even pulling and dragging the dog into the iron cage, throwing a loose set, working together, those who set the dog are hard enough and spicy enough, and the butcher who kills pigs and sheep definitely has a PK.

These people will drive around the hutong every once in a while, and the activists in the hutong also send the news of who owns the dog to the street office. As soon as I saw the dog-beater driving slowly into the alley, I hurriedly hid the sunspot under a pile of messy broken baskets in the backyard and said, "Stop barking, sunspot, the dog-beater is coming." Everything is animistic. Sunspots know that they are in danger, so they don't scream, and they have escaped dog catcher's search several times.

the most hanging time was when I took sunspot and my friends to play pinball near the courtyard wall of Man Dun's house and climbed beside it. When I was having a good time, the dog-riding car came and stopped in the distance. The two of them quietly gathered around with guys, but I didn't expect the minibus to see it and shouted, "The dog beater is coming!" When I saw something big, I shouted loudly, "Sunspot, run!" " Sunspot basked in the sun under the wall and didn't move. I just opened my eyes and looked at it. As soon as I saw both the dogs running up, I gave Sunspot a kick and shouted, "Sunspot, run!" " Sunspots jumped up and ran away, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye when they got into a small alley. The two of them couldn't catch up with each other in the alley, of course. Sunspots narrowly escaped a bullet, and they stood there with their eyes straight with anger. Sunspots didn't come back one day after they ran out, and didn't come back until after midnight. You can say that dogs have no spirituality.

as the saying goes; After hiding from the first day, I couldn't escape from the fifteenth day. At last, Sunspot was blocked in the yard by the dog-beater. I hugged Sunspot tightly and cried and cried, leaving the dog-beater helpless. Finally, the sunspot was taken away. It was howling for help, and it seemed to say goodbye to me. I ran out of the door in tears and looked at the sunspot in the cage. The sunspot stopped howling and shouted at me, which seemed to convey some information I didn't know. The car drove away and drove away, and the cry of the sunspot finally disappeared.

although I haven't been with sunspot for a long time, it's only a few years, but it's the life of sunspot and the whole life of sunspot. From then on, I just like dogs, and I will never have a dog again, let alone eat dog meat. The scene of sunspot playing with me at ordinary times, the look in the eyes when it was caught, the solemn and stirring cry of farewell, that scene will always stay in my heart, and will not be forgotten because of the passage of time, which is the pain in my heart forever.

Sunspots have brought me a lot of happiness in my childhood, which I will never forget. If I have any regrets in my life, it is that I didn't protect Sunspots when their lives were threatened, I didn't see the end of their lives, and I didn't give them a decent funeral.

On the seventh day of February in the fourth year of Guisi,

I spent my whole life in a misty rain.
