The next day, Zhang Zian woke up in the morning, pulled the curtains, and found that the weather was good. The sun was shining, and the wind had stopped blowing. It was a good time to go out for a walk.
Last night, after Little Celery and Wang Yaning left, Famous proposed another idea — to pull the sleigh with Zhan Tian. Two dogs pulling together would look better than one dog pulling alone.
Zhang Zian thought it was a good idea. Dogs were very understanding. For a dog that had been traumatized, nothing could restore its confidence better than applause and cheers.
The only problem was whether or not Zhan Tian could successfully obey his orders in these few days. After all, Zhan Tian was not an elfin.
After the routine cleaning in the morning, Uncle Li brought breakfast for the elfins. There were kebabs and Famous's fried steak in the foam insulated box. Zhang Zian put the fried steak in Famous's food bowl, then took a half-empty bottle of Great Wall Dry Wine and poured a glass for Famous.
Famous stared at the purplish-red liquid flowing into the glass. Its extremely sensitive sense of smell told it that the quality of this bottle of wine was very different from the red wine in its Imagined Landscape. However, it still stuck its tongue into the glass and took a sip, intoxicated.
Fina opened its eyes slightly and saw Zhang Zian putting on his coat. It asked unhappily, "What are you doing now?"
Zhang Zian pointed to the back of the shop. "The weather is good today. I plan to take Zhan Tian to the green field to train. Do you want to go out and get some sun? "
"I can bask in the sun in the shop. Why do I need to go out?" Fina asked.
"Because the air outside is very fresh. You can't breathe such fresh air in the shop," Zhang Zian advised. "It's boring to stay in the house all the time. You should go out and take a walk. You don't have to eat and sleep all the time."
"What did you say?" Fina was furious. "I'm not fat!"
Old Time Tea almost spat out the tea in its mouth. It felt that Zhang Zian was going further and further down the road of death. It quickly interrupted, "Ahem! I also think it's good to go out and take a walk. The morning is the best time for a day. After eating, we can go out and digest the food. "
Fina still had to show some respect to Old Time Tea, and Galaxy was excited to play hide-and-seek in the green space. Fina stared at Zhang Zian angrily and kept quiet.
As for Snowy Lionet, it had always followed Fina's lead. It would go wherever Fina went.
There was no need to mention Richard, who loved to join in on the fun.
When Lu Yi Yun came to work, Zhang Zian told her to call him if anything happened. He would be back in a few minutes to deal with it. Then, he left the shop with Zhan Tian and the elfins through the back door, heading straight for the green space.
The green land was still desolate. The needles of the pine and cypress trees were covered with ice and snow, and the withered weeds had fallen. Even the wild cats that used to run around here in autumn were gone. Wang Qian and Li Kun would walk their puppies in the green space almost every day, except when the weather was bad.
Before Zhang Zian went out, he found an old baseball and a pair of baseball gloves in the storage room. When he was a child, his father used to take him to the park to play baseball. There was a time when he was a teenager and his goal was to throw a sinking fastball. Of course, he didn't succeed. Baseball required both talent and hard work, and he didn't have either.
But today, he didn't bring the baseball to train himself, but to train Zhan Tian.
He spread a camping tarpaulin on a flat stone bench so that Fina and Snowy Lionet wouldn't get cold when they lay on it. Old Time Tea jumped on top of the wall to see if there were any people nearby.
"Zhan Tian." Zhang Zian untied Zhan Tian's leash, squatted down, and held the baseball in front of its eyes. "Do you want to play pickup with us?"
Zhan Tian stared at the baseball and sniffed it carefully. Although it didn't do anything special, Zhang Zian could see the curiosity in its eyes.
"If I throw it out, do you want to help me pick it up?" He tossed the baseball in his hand, caught it, tossed it up again, and caught it again. Zhan Tian's head moved up and down with his movements.
Although police dog training also included fetching, it was just training, and this was just a game. His goal was to help Zhan Tian rebuild its confidence and dependence on people in the game.
"Okay, I'm going to throw it." He moved his wrist to prevent injury.
The first time he threw it, his movements were very slow, so that Zhan Tian could see it clearly. He also threw it very short, so that the ball didn't roll into the grass.
The baseball drew a beautiful arc in the blue sky, fell to the ground with a soft thud, bounced a few times, and rolled forward.
Zhan Tian was still staring at the baseball, but it didn't move, as if it was hesitating.
Famous barked at it twice, ran over, picked up the baseball, and ran back to Zhang Zian.
Zhang Zian wasn't discouraged, nor did he show any impatience. He threw the baseball again.
This time, Zhan Tian moved its front legs slightly, took half a step forward, and then retracted.
Famous was also very patient, and once again showed Zhan Tian how to pick up the baseball.
After the third time, Zhan Tian finally trotted over, picked up the baseball, and handed it to Zhang Zian.
"Zhan Tian, you're great!" Zhang Zian gently rubbed its head, took out beef jerky from his pocket like magic, and fed it to Zhan Tian.
For this morning's training, he deliberately didn't let Zhan Tian eat breakfast.
Zhan Tian quickly stuck out its tongue, put the beef jerky into its mouth, chewed, and swallowed. It looked at him expectantly, as if it had tasted something sweet.
After that, Zhang Zian threw the baseball again, and each time, it was farther and more challenging. Sometimes it fell under the stone bench, and sometimes it fell into the grass, so Zhan Tian had to spend some effort to pick it up.
Every time Zhan Tian picked up the baseball, what awaited it was Zhang Zian's praise and delicious beef jerky. It became more and more active, and more involved in the game.
Zhang Zian was generous with his praise. He had watched Xiao Yuhong train Luoluo at the police dog nursing home, so he consciously imitated her tone and movements. Like Luoluo, Zhan Tian had received basic police dog training, and it was very smart, so it quickly adapted to Zhang Zian's training. Otherwise, it wouldn't have easily become the ace of the special police force.
The school anniversary was coming soon, so time was tight. Zhang Zian was busy playing games with Zhan Tian. Xinghai shook its head and looked around. The stray cats that played hide-and-seek with it last time were gone, which made it a little disappointed.
"Xinghai, do you want to play hide-and-seek?"
Xinghai looked back and saw that it was Famous.
"Meow! I want to play!" Xinghai said cheerfully.
Famous asked again, "Who's going to be the ghost?"
Famous had been looking forward to this day for a long time, because it owed Xinghai a game of hide-and-seek.
