Chapter 928: A Dog That Doesn't Know Good from Bad
Wang An stretched out his hand to show friendliness, tentatively walked forward a few steps, and although this dog was baring its fangs and showing its power, it still retreated a few steps.
Clearly, this dog was a bit afraid of Wang An at this time.
Just at this time, Captain Zhou reminded kindly not far away:
"Xiao An, be careful, this dog is truly quite vicious."
Wang An turned back and smiled:
"Mm, Brother Zhou, I'm just testing it."
It must be said, dogs are truly good at finding opportunities, because just when Wang An turned back to answer, this dog immediately lunged and wanted to bite Wang An.
Fortunately, the iron chain tying the dog was short enough, directly pulling the dog back.
Of course, even so, after Wang An saw the dog's action with his peripheral vision, he still subconsciously retreated two steps.
Actually, when the dog
Anyway, as long as you don't show fear and don't turn your back to it, then under normal circumstances, a dog won't dare to attack you proactively.
So, the reason this dog suddenly attacked Wang An was because Wang An turned his head and exposed the back of his neck.
Wang An raised an eyebrow and said to the dog with a chuckle:
"Damn, you're actually pretty vicious. If I don't take care of you, you're going to be a dead thing sooner or later, do you know that? Can you tell what's good for you?"
Unfortunately, this dog seemed a bit stupid; it completely ignored Wang An's good intentions and continued to bare its fangs and growl at him.
Wang An took another step forward, standing right at a spot where the dog couldn't bite him, but where he could reach out and touch the dog.
Wang An continued to say to the dog:
"Can you tell what's good for you or not? Do you believe I'll smack you?"
As he spoke, Wang An seized the opportunity and gave the dog a hard slap on the head. The dog, which had been desperately pulling on its chain trying to take a bite out of Wang An, was instantly flattened to the ground by Wang An's large palm.
However, because the chain was pulling on the dog's neck, the dog didn't adjust its balance well this time and was dragged down directly by the chain.
And Wang An took a step back as he followed through.
It was mainly because Wang An was wearing brand-new work trousers and was afraid of them getting scratched by the dog.
After getting up from the slap, the dog became even fiercer, looking like it wanted to fight Wang An to the death.
To tell the truth, although the dog was this fierce and wanted to take a bite out of Wang An, Wang An's heart was actually filled with joy.
Because this kind of dog is a proper, good dog; as long as Wang An can win its trust, then from now on, this dog will completely obey him.
You have to know that at this moment, this dog was still in a state of hunger, which means it was very weak right now.
And normally speaking, animals and humans are actually the same, which is that when they are very hungry and weak, they are very eager to receive help from others and are also very easy to trust others.
So, for this dog to have such a performance right now is also not easy at all.
After teasing the dog for a while longer, Wang An finally realized helplessly that he couldn't handle it.
Damn, this is a bit depressing.
Just as Wang An was pondering how to make this dog trust him, those officers had already loaded all the grain into the big sister's room.
Watching Wang An get frustrated, Sun Nian said with a face full of schadenfreude:
"You're no good at this either; the dog doesn't even want to pay attention to you, hee hee hee hee."
Sun Nian's words instantly made the group of officers laugh as well.
Fortunately, Wang An's skin was thick enough that he didn't mind.
At this time, someone among the officers shouted:
"Little Brother An, if you ask me, you should just beat it with a stick. Once you beat it into submission, it won't dare to bare its fangs at you anymore."
Another officer chimed in:
"Yeah, I think that method works. We have a dog in our village that barks at me every day; it barks whenever I pass by. Ever since I gave it a good beating with a stick that one time, it hasn't dared to bare its fangs at me again."
Following that, everyone chimed in one after another; some even suggested that Wang An should just shoot the dog and kill it directly to save the trouble.
Wang An was quite confident in his ability to defeat a dog, or even beat one into direct submission.
However, if he did that, the sense of trust between human and dog would be very hard to establish, because a dog is a creature that will definitely hold a grudge.
Especially a mountain-hunting dog; if the human and the dog cannot achieve mutual trust, then when hunting in the mountains, it's better not to bring such a dog along at all.
In that case, such a good mountain-hunting dog would be completely wasted.
After another while, Sun Nian looked at her watch and suddenly said:
"Little An, it's getting late, we have to go. You decide what to do with these four dogs; if it really doesn't work out, then don't bother with them. For dogs that don't know what's good for them, just let them fend for themselves here."
Sun Nian's words were very reasonable; after all, these dogs wouldn't even let anyone get close, so it was impossible to adopt them.
Wang An nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Yeah, Sister Nian, you guys go back. I'll try again; if it really doesn't work, I won't keep them."
As they spoke, Sun Nian and the group of officers waved at Wang An and then got into their vehicle one after another.
After sending Sun Nian and the others off, Wang An looked at this stubborn dog and couldn't help but suck his teeth in worry.
After pondering for a long time, a flash of inspiration hit Wang An, and he suddenly thought of a good method, and he believed this method would be incredibly effective.
Thinking of this, Wang An returned to his sidecar, got on it, and headed home.
On the way, Wang An envisioned the scene after he returned, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but reveal a smile of a scheme successfully executed.
Three or four minutes later, Wang An rode the sidecar directly into his own courtyard.
At this time, Wang Dazhu and his wife, along with Shen Wei, had already returned from working in the fields.
Seeing Wang An, the expressions in the eyes of these three people were almost exactly the same as the expression in Mu Xueqing's eyes when she saw Wang An earlier.
It was mainly because Wang An's outfit was truly very eye-catching.
Consequently, Liu Guilan was seen saying with a face full of shock:
"Little An, where did you get these clothes? Where are your own clothes? Are they ruined?"
Wang An didn't answer Liu Guilan's question, but instead said with a smug look:
"How about it, Mother? Does your eldest son look good in this outfit?"
Liu Guilan didn't speak, but Wang Dazhu looked Wang An up and down and said:
"It looks good, sure, but it's not yours. What do you have to be so smug about?"
Wang An chuckled and said in an even smugger tone:
"It's definitely mine! Can't you tell that these clothes and trousers are all brand new?"
As he spoke, Wang An took off his peaked cap and continued to show off with a grin:
"Look at this hat, this is called a peaked cap. Is this something an ordinary person can just wear around?"
Pointing at his shoes, Wang An continued:
"These are authentic military boots, hahahaha."
You have to say, this feeling of showing off to one's parents is actually quite interesting.
