Chapter 2 The Lonely Little Black Dog
When I woke up, it was 8 o'clock in the morning, but my mental condition was not very good, I had a dream, and it was a very bad dream. In the dream, I went back to my childhood, wandering in a very strange yard, except for the faint light of the room, there was only endless darkness everywhere, and then I ran desperately towards the house, but not only could not get close to the house, but the distance from the room became farther and farther away. In the dark, I could only cry silently, trying to shout out but finding that I couldn't make any sound. When I woke up, my face was full of tears, and the loneliness in my heart intensified.
After washing up, I walked slowly in the direction of the company. I was going to leave my job today, and I handed my resignation letter to my boss, who only symbolically kept me, and then signed his name on the resignation letter under my repeated pleas. It will take some time to complete the handover, and I will be able to stay in the city for about three days.
On the way back, I met a little black dog, who looked like a stray dog, with a dirty tail and eyes. In the past, I heard that looking at a dog would give the dog a strong sense of crisis, and then the dog might get angry and bite. With a strong bad taste, I squatted down to look at it, and it also looked at me like that, a man and a dog, forming a beautiful "landscape", and people passing by saw this scene and laughed and pointed at me. I don't care about that, I just want to have some fun right now. However, to my surprise, I had been staring at it for almost 10 minutes, and it showed no signs of anger, let alone a hint of running away, and its eyes became a little lonely.
......
"Goo~~", a long voice woke me up from my gaze, I touched my stomach awkwardly, stood up, and looked back at the little black dog, I was suddenly not sure whether the sound just now was me or it. I don't want to, let's go back...
On the way back, I had been walking leisurely, observing the various pedestrians on the side of the road. "Goo~~~", the voice came again, I looked back, and the little dot followed......
I walked into the curbside deli and bought two chicken legs, gave it one, and I ate one myself. Looking at the little ones eating there with relish, the sourness in my heart gushed out somehow. In this city, we are all lonely, it met me, it is considered its luck, it can eat a full meal, and I, who can I meet?
Seeing that the puppy had eaten its chicken leg, there it was smacking its mouth, and its tongue was licking its nose from time to time. I couldn't help but think to myself: it's good to be a dog, it's so easy to be happy, as long as you can eat a full stomach.
I threw the leftover half of the chicken leg to it again, intending to slip away. After all, now I have no other heart than to give it a full meal.
As I slowed my pace and tried to leave here, the little black dog suddenly stopped eating, its ears twitched twice, and its smart eyes suddenly shot at me. I don't know why, being looked at by it, I actually have a little bit of a weak heart.
I can only pretend to be calm and say: "Little guy, let's go after eating this meal, I can't adopt you." "
As if he understood, the little one's eyes suddenly became a little lonely, and then he lowered his head and nibbled on his chicken legs. I couldn't imagine seeing such a human gaze on a dog, and I couldn't help but shudder. I felt that my eyes were a little moist, and I forcibly held back the tears that were about to flow.
"Little one, come with me, I'll find a way to give you a home. "
It didn't seem to understand this time, and it was still eating there.
I turned around and walked in the direction of the rental house. After walking for about twenty steps, I faintly heard the sound of soft footsteps behind me—the little guy still followed.
I took the little guy back and gave him a bath first, the little one may not be used to the feeling of water on his body, and he has been shaking his body. After that, I took it to the veterinarian station to do epidemic prevention, and I named it Black Ball, because it was very thin, and I wanted to raise it into a ball, so that the round one would look more cute.
In the evening, I called the landlord, Mr. Sun, "Uncle Sun, I'm leaving Shanghai, do you have time to come over in the next two days?"
"What, Xiaoli, are you leaving?" came Lao Sun's unique hoarse voice on the other end of the phone.
"That's right, Uncle Sun, I'll leave in two days. "
"That's okay, don't be in a hurry to quit the rent, I won't charge you this month's rent, I'm in Shanghai these days, just call me the day before you leave." "
"Thank you, Uncle Sun, let's meet another day. "
"Hmm. Then there was a beep of hanging up.
Lao Sun is a native of Shanghai, who usually makes a living by collecting rent, and his generosity is something I didn't expect, because in my sense, the role of the landlord seems to have no one to talk about as long as it deals with money.
After making the call, I sat quietly in front of the window again, holding my face in my hands, looking out the window at the night scene in a daze. The night in the magic capital is really beautiful, I have never paid attention to these before, but now that my mind is calm, I can see many different scenes. The bright neon lights certainly add a lot of dazzling brilliance to this dark night, but the bustling crowd adds a different kind of life to the city, which may be life.
The question of where to go next was buried in my mind from the moment I decided to leave Shanghai.
I suddenly wanted to go out and walk around again and see if I could find some inspiration. I led the black ball out of the door, the little guy was not very willing at first, lying in the nest I bought for it and did not come out, I didn't expect it to be such a lazy thing, under my hard pull, it finally succumbed to my obscenity, obediently obeyed me.
Walking on the side of the road, under the illumination of the street lamp, the reflection of a person and a dog looks extraordinarily slender, but there is no longer a trace of loneliness.
Looking up at the night sky, as a few meteors flashed, I felt a long-lost tranquility, and gradually lost my mind. It wasn't until I felt the tug at the hem of my pants that I woke me up from my distraction. The black ball saw that I was reacting, so he obediently said "Wang" twice.
Subsequently, a man and a dog shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city......
