Chapter 7 – Mutation

The fatty sure talked a lot, he kept talking all along the way, he was telling everybody about the time when he was studying in his school, something strange had happened back then and there had been a lot of rumours.

The field had so much legends and rumours, some of the stories spread out fast, and some only the locals knew, the stories were attractive and interesting though.

“Don’t listen to the myth, some of them have happened.” The fat man said very seriously.

The more he listened to him, the more he craved to hear his story.

“I even saw a Tibet mastiff puppy protecting an old dog that was almost dead in an old shrine, that puppy let out drops of golden tears.”

“Ssttt!”

Some of the people in the crowd made “ssttt” noises, they didn’t believe him, the story sounded too unreal.

“That was real, I experienced it for myself.” The fatty Zhou sounded serious, he sweared that all that he said was truthful.

“I even thought after that, maybe it’s eyes had been too bright so the tears reflected the colour of it’s golden eyes.” The fatty explained.

“If you really saw that Tibet mastiff puppy, why didn’t you approach it and hug it, and then adopt it? Now where is it?” A person asked and afterwards laughed.

“Ah, I really wanted to adopt it, but there was an old Lama (monk) in the shrine, he didn’t let me take the puppy.”

According to Zhou Quan, the shrine had been old, located in the depths of the field, the building had been almost collapsing.

The old Lama (monk) looked old and he had been a little deaf too, so it had been hard to communicate with him.

At the end, fatty Zhou had understood the Lama, the mastiff puppy hadn’t belonged to anyone and  the puppy could even chase away evil spirits.

“But that puppy’s strength sure was big, he bit my pants and also gave me a head b.u.mp.” Zhou Quan talked about his past, his face was full of curiosity.

The others didn’t believe him.
