Chapter 228: The Way Home
"Wangwang......" The puppy wagked its tail obediently.
"Hello puppy, Poor Dao asked you, are you waiting for someone here?!!" Qingzhu couldn't help but ask curiously.
Sure enough, after feeding, now this puppy already trusts Qingzhu very much.
Just looking at the puppy's movements, Qingzhu can only think of what it is waiting for, as for what person or thing it is, it may be difficult to let the puppy say it himself.
"Wangwang, good Samaritan, are you talking to me?!! why can I understand your words?!!" The puppy pouted twice, blinking at Qingzhu with big eyes.
"What's your name?" asked Aotake.
"Wang, my name is Erbao. The puppy replied.
"Erbao, your name is so nice...... Qingzhu said silently.
Hearing Qingzhu's praise, Erbao raised his head proudly, wagged his little tail, and said, "Wang, it's the name given by the master, of course it's the best!!"
Qingzhu probably guessed that this little dog Bacheng was waiting for his owner here.
However, what happened to the owner of the puppy, and why did a puppy wait for a year?!!
A year is not a short time, and if it weren't for the frequent food from the pedestrians around him and the kind fat owner of the grocery store, I'm afraid the puppy would have starved to death.
"Erbao, you've been waiting here for a long time, right?" Qingzhu was idle, chatting with Erbao.
"Wang, I can't count how many days it has, but my master will definitely come to pick me up!!" Erbao wagged his tail and said with great conviction.
"If, I mean if, what if your master doesn't come to pick you up all the time?!!" Qingzhu asked cautiously.
"Then I'll continue to wait until my master comes to pick me up,......" Erbao still firmly believed that his master would definitely come to pick him up.
"Perhaps...... Erbao, if this is not the case, do you know where your home is?" Qingzhu couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, it used to be the owner who hugged me and took that big thing home......" Erbao looked at a bus driving in front of him, and said excitedly on his face.
The bus stopped in front of the platform, some people got on the bus, some people got off, and a group of people who got off the bus were likely to be the owners of Erbao.
Every time he saw someone get out of the car, Erbao looked very excited, his eyes lit up, and even the hair on his body stood up all at once.
However, every time the bus drove away, Erbao's eyes would suddenly darken.
However, after a while, Erbao's eyes would glow with anticipation again, and that was because he felt that his master would appear in the next bus.
The bus in front of him was gone, Erbao just looked at it silently, and he was not too disappointed, for it, waiting was already used to it.
Erbao continued to squat on the ground, licked the crumbs of bread from his mouth, and continued to look ahead, showing no slackness.
Qingzhu has mixed feelings in his heart, and dogs are animals that are loyal to their owners for a lifetime.
As a human being, a dog may just be a pet for a while, but for a dog, the owner is the part of his life.
Perhaps, the puppy with long ears and short legs in front of him has been abandoned by his owner.
"Wang, are you also waiting for your master?" Erbao stuck out his tongue and asked Qingzhu.
"Uh, I don't wait for anyone to ......," Qingzhu smiled bitterly
said.
"Then are you also waiting to go home in that big thing?" Erbao asked again.
"No, my home is close to home, and I can walk home. Qingzhu replied honestly.
"You can go home by walking, I really envy you," Erbao turned his head to look at Qingzhu, "It would be great if I could walk home, I don't have to wait for the master to take me home, I really want to go home, I really want to go back to the master, I really miss the master......"
Qingzhu's subtle nerves could be felt, and thoughts emanated from Erbao's body, which was a stubborn thought.
Looking at this poor Erbao, Qingzhu couldn't bear it.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Erbao, let's do it, let Poor Dao take you home!" Qingzhu said subconsciously.
"Really, you're such a nice person!! Erbao said happily.
As a simple-minded puppy, Erbao believed Qingzhu's words at the first time, believing that Qingzhu could take it home and find his owner.
Erbao was very naïve, so he chose to believe that in a very simple sentence, this puppy who was unwilling to leave the platform left the bus station with a stranger like Qingzhu.
was able to go home, Erbao suddenly jumped up and down, rolling and wagging his tail on the ground.
"Wang, can I really see the master soon, I'm so happy!!"
"Maybe......" Listening to Erbao's excited chatter, Qingzhu said with a smile.
Qingzhu used the high-grade compass, according to the puppy's memory, and exerted a little mana, and he could already locate it accurately.
Erbao's original residence is actually not too far from here, but it is definitely not possible to walk there.
In the current situation, Erbao's dirty appearance may not be able to take the bus, which will affect other passengers.
So Qingzhu used the space portal to teleport a person and a dog to a place closest to the location.
Erbao was just a puppy, and he didn't know why after getting into a small wooden frame, the space could be transferred instantly.
Qingzhu didn't explain, and continued to walk briskly in the direction of positioning with the puppy.
Just like that, Qingzhu took a dog and set out on the way home.
From the place where the portal was teleported, it didn't take long to walk to the area where Erbao's house was located, about half an hour.
This place has not yet entered the urban area of Qingyun City, but a marginal area not far from the urban area.
Except for the poor sanitary conditions, the difference is not too big compared to the city.
Because there are fewer cars, children can run freely on the streets, and adults seem more laid-back.
Qingzhu and the puppy Erbao came here, and Erbao obviously felt very familiar with the surroundings, and suddenly jumped up and down happily.
"Wangwang, this is it, that's right, my home is here, I'm back again!!" Erbao rolled on the ground excitedly, and quickly ran to a familiar tree and a soak of urine in a dashing manner.
"Erbao, do you know the way home?" Qingzhu asked.
"Wangwang, I know, I haven't arrived home yet, kind people, come with me!!"
Erbao was very obedient, wagging his tail and walking into a small alley with Qingzhu.
Soon, a man and a dog came to a very old building.
The seven-storey building was built in the 70s of the last century
From the bottom to the upstairs, there are already creepers.
There are not many old residents here, more of them are tenants, because it is relatively close to the city, it is convenient to rent a house here, and most importantly, the rent is much cheaper than in the city.
When he was about to get home, Erbao calmed down, but his tongue was still sticking out and his tail was still wagging his tail.
Perhaps, Erbao will not meet his master until soon, and his heart is full of excitement.
Qingzhu didn't say anything, just rang the doorbell outside, and soon, the inside asked, "Who?!!"
"Hello, I want to find someone, please open the door......"
After about five minutes, the landlady walked out impatiently.
After seeing the person ringing the doorbell, the landlady was also stunned, and said casually, "How is it a Taoist priest?!!
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable......" Qingzhu held the salute with one hand.
"Oh, what are you doing here? are you renting a house?!!" asked the landlady after a moment's pause.
"Poor Dao is here to find people......" Qingzhu shook his head and said.
"Who are you looking for?!!" asked the landlady suspiciously.
But soon, she saw a dirty Erbao coming behind Qingzhu.
From the other party's eyes, Qingzhu could see that the landlady knew Erbao's puppy.
Suddenly, the landlady's expression changed, and her tone was not as impatient as before.
"Are you looking for the owner of this puppy?!!" asked the landlady.
"Yes. Qingzhu said lightly.
"It's a pity you're late...... "The landlady said as she turned, going upstairs.
Qingzhu followed the landlady upstairs, and Erbao also followed, with a look of excitement.
Soon went up to the fifth floor, which is Erbao's home.
"Wang, go home!!"
Erbao looked at the familiar door number, and finally couldn't hold back his excited heart, and began to shout excitedly.
The landlady glanced at the excited Erbao, not too dirty, reached out and touched Erbao's head, Erbao did not refuse, it knew this charter wife.
Then the landlady took out the key and opened the door.
With a click, the door opened, and the situation inside was immediately presented in front of Qingzhu's eyes.
Inside the room was simple, with mottled old walls, only some simple furniture, however, a layer of dust had fallen on the furniture.
Obviously, this home has not been inhabited for a long time.
"Now, do you understand?" the landlady turned to look at Qingzhu.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Poor Dao should have guessed it a long time ago......," Qingzhu nodded.
……
Qingzhu took Erbao and followed the landlady to a cemetery.
A black tombstone has a faded color photograph of a smiling man.
It was a middle-aged man who looked a little dark and thin.
The landlady lit a cigarette casually, took a hard puff, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then said to Qingzhu, "He is a good person, when he was alive, he just liked to play with Erbao, Erbao was raised by him, I remember that when Erbao first came, it was the size of a palm, and their relationship was very good...... Who would have thought that he would go so fast...... This dead ghost...... I really regret meeting him......"
