Mr. Fuwo Yunju
Dog Savior-Serial? On the translation of the righteous dog;
There was a businessman in Zhoucun, Shandong Province who went to Wuhu, Anhui Province to do business and made a lot of money. He rented a boat and was going home. Just as he was about to set sail, he saw a butcher tying a dog on the river bank, ready to kill it. The merchant took out more than twice the original price, redeemed the dog from the butcher and kept it on the boat.
But the boatman turned out to be a habitual thief. Seeing that the businessman was dressed abnormally, he punted to a remote place with reeds and weeds, and took up a knife to kill the businessman. Knowing that he would die, the merchant begged the robber to keep a complete body for him. So the robber wrapped the businessman in felt and threw him into the river. When the dog saw that his master was thrown into the river, he also jumped into the river with a sad howl, grabbed the felt wrapped by the merchant with his mouth, and floated together in the river. So I swam, swam and drifted, and I didn't know how many miles I drifted down until I drifted to a place where the river was very shallow, and then I ran aground and stopped.
After being stranded, the dog swam out of the water and ran to a inhabited place, howling sadly. Some people thought the situation was abnormal and followed the dog. When they saw a felt wrapped in something in the water by the river, they pulled it up and cut the rope that bound the felt. When I opened it, I found that the businessman was not dead, so the businessman told everyone what had happened to him. Then, the merchant begged a boatman to take him back to Wuhu and wait for the robber ship to come back. The merchant got on the boat, but the dog ran away and disappeared. The businessman was deeply saddened by the loss of such a good dog.
The businessman returned to Wuhu wharf and looked for three or four days. Only the masts of cargo ships on the river are like a forest, but there are no robber ships.
As it happens, this businessman has a fellow countryman who is also doing business here and is planning to return to Shandong, so he is going to take the businessman home with him. At this time, the dog suddenly ran back by himself and howled loudly when he saw his master. As soon as the master called, it turned and ran away. He had to get off the boat and follow it. Suddenly, the dog jumped into a boat and bit a man's leg, but he wouldn't let go. The master rushed forward and shouted loudly, but the man bitten by the dog was the robber the day before yesterday. The robber changed his clothes and the boat he used the day before, so it was difficult to recognize him. The businessman tied up the robber, and after searching, he found that all the money robbed that day was still there.
Alas, a dog can still repay its master's kindness in this way. Those ungrateful and heartless people in the world will probably feel ashamed when they see this dog's behavior!
Appendix, comment
Liaozhai has two "volunteer dogs" with the same name. One is a story about a dog dying in the grass to save life-saving money for his master, and the other is a story about a dog's savior in the river.
Dogs know human nature, which is human knowledge. Since ancient times, there have been many stories about dogs saving lives. The news that two dogs saved an old lady in Wenchuan earthquake is widely circulated in the society. This story written by Pu Songling is also about dogs saving lives, but it is more typical. The dog in the work, the core of its character is kindness. Because the merchant saved his life, so for this dog, even if the merchant was not killed this time, it will certainly repay the kindness of the merchant at other times. Coincidentally, just as the merchant was chartering a boat to go home, he met a robber, a boatman, who murdered his life for money. If he doesn't repay the debt at this time, when will he wait? It did not hesitate to rescue its new owner. The rescue of the dog to the owner can be described as seamless: first, with its swimming ability, the dog grabbed the felt to prevent the merchant from sinking, and floated to the shallows by the river while swimming, so that the merchant would not die; Secondly, it knows how to find someone to rescue its owner, so that the owner can not only survive, but also have the opportunity to return to Wuhu to look for criminals again; Third, with the unique identification skills of the dog, he found the robber before the owner, and then led the owner to catch the criminal, and his money was returned to Zhao intact. Isn't a dog so grateful and perfect an admirable dog of justice?
At the end of the work, the author made this comment: "Alas! A dog also, with color. Those heartless people in the world are also ashamed of this dog! " In social life, there are many "heartless people" who don't repay their kindness and even bite the hand that feeds them. Therefore, when Pu Songling wrote this story, he wanted to compare people to dogs, and to reflect heartless people with righteous dogs that repay kindness. This story also tells people that if you want to keep a dog, you must first be a "righteous man". If the businessman is not kind and kind to save a life, but a person who has nothing to do with the dog's life and death, I am afraid the dog may not be so desperate to save him.
There are not many descriptions of volunteer dogs in the works, but they are very vivid. For example, after seeing its owner thrown into the river, it "wailed and threw itself into the water with its mouth wrapped"; After being stranded, it ran to someone's place to "cry and cry"; After discovering the enemy, bite the enemy's leg, and "don't understand". , everywhere shows the righteous dog's feelings, wisdom and loyalty.
