As soon as the sky was bright and the alarm clock rang, Xiao Qi woke up early, and the blanket on his body was kicked aside, stretching his waist.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up, and the bell pushed the door in with a pair of slippers in his mouth, and placed them on the side of the bed.

Xiao Qi put on his shoes and went to the bathroom to wash, while the bell sat on the side with a teething stick in his mouth, and half a basin of water was placed in front of it.

He brushed his teeth, and the bell "smacked" and gritted his teething stick.

He rinsed his mouth, and the bell stretched out his long tongue to lick the water.

He washed his face, and the bell simply put his mouth into the water, only his nostrils were exposed, and he looked like he was enjoying it.

The movements of one man and one dog are surprisingly harmonious.

After wiping his face gently, Xiao Qi picked up the bell towel hanging behind the door and dried it.

Although many people love pets, they are also very clear, after all, people are people, pets are pets, Xiao Qi used to think so.

However, since he experienced the robbery, when he came home and saw the bell that was sent home by Lu Cheng, he had been waiting for him behind the security door downstairs.

At that time, he thought to himself that if the bell was by his side at that time, he would feel very safe.

What's more, at the critical moment, it was a cat that saved him, which made Xiao Qi slowly change his mind.

The bell seemed to feel the worry in Xiao Qi's heart, and it had been sticking to him almost all the time in the past few days, gradually making him forget the feeling of being held to his neck with a knife and possibly dying at any time.

The long-haired man with the knife was caught, and the woman who was an accomplice was said to have been targeted, and as for how many years they would be sentenced, Xiao Qi didn't want to care.

Xiao Qi tried to find the black cat, but he never had a clue, there were too many wild cats in Jiangning City.

He didn't pay attention to it before, but according to the investigation of his friends at the Stray Animal Rescue Center, he found that there were more than 3,000 wild cats in Jiangning City alone, which was a very large number.

After putting on his shoes, Xiao Qi turned around and saw the bell biting the leash and said, "Bell, accompany me for a morning run today." ”

"Wang!" the bell straightened up happily, almost reaching Xiao Qi's chest.

Xiao Qi petted its head dotingly.

Because the bell grows longer and bigger, Xiao Qi rarely takes it out for a morning run, usually sends it to the pet store to exercise, and then Lu Cheng lives nearby, and Lu Cheng is responsible for taking it to the pet store in the morning.

Xiao Qi didn't let Lu Cheng come today, and his thoughts in his heart changed a little.

It's a big deal to look at the bell a little harder, as long as you put on the leash and let it cling to you, plus the bell's empathy, it won't cause trouble to passers-by.

About half an hour later, Xiao Qi came to the Jiangning Bridge with the bell, which is also one of the symbols of Jiangning City.

When he ran to the top of the bridge, Xiao Qi slowed down, and the sound of the "bang bang bang" engine came from the river in the distance, the bell looked very excited, and his forelimbs were on the railing to look at the river, opening his mouth, hanging his tongue obliquely, and dripping saliva from time to time.

The boat slowly approached, the sound became louder and louder, and the vibration when passing through the bottom of the bridge made the soles of Xiao Qi's feet feel a little numb.

The bell seemed to be a little unfinished, and refused to come down, Xiao Qi smiled evilly on the side: "What, do you want to learn to swim?"

The bell immediately slipped off the railing and "whined" aggrievedly.

Xiao Qi looked at the pitiful appearance of the bell and said, "Don't you paparazzi have a natural skill dog planing, why can't you learn it?"

"I'm afraid of swimming. Bell said.

"You went to sea with my father's fishing boat at the age of eight months, and you can be regarded as a sailor's dog, were you scared when you fell into the sea that time?"

"I don't like being in the water. ”

"Silly Bell, this is to teach you the same survival skills, what if you fall into the water. ”

"I don't go into the water, I don't fall into it. ”

Xiao Qi smiled, didn't dwell on this question, and asked, "Do you remember what you did when you went to sea?"

The bell wagged his tail: "I remember. ”

This is where Xiao Qi admires the paparazzi, Bell was just a puppy when he went to sea with his father, but he can remember things clearly, such a memory is really unconvinced.

Xiao Qi brushed the bell's hair and said, "Tell me everything if you remember." ”

This sentence seems to stump the bell, it remembers a lot of things, but it doesn't know what to say without giving it a point.

Xiao Qi smiled: "Let's talk about falling into the water." ”

The bell immediately said: "There were a lot of fish pulled up that day, I looked at those fish on the board, and I bit them all back when they fell out, and the master kept praising me." ”

"I can't imagine that you are so capable at such a young age. ”

The bell looked very happy to be complimented, stood up and jumped a few times: "Later, the wind was very strong, and the boat shook and I fell out, and the master stretched out with a stick, but I couldn't stand on my feet in the water and couldn't bite the stick." ”

Xiao Qi couldn't imagine that the accident that caused the bell to dare not swim was so dangerous, and thought it was just the bell naughty and fell off the boat: "Then what happened?"

"Then I couldn't see the master, I drank a few sips of water and felt very uncomfortable, only to know that then the master held me in his arms, and my forehead was bleeding, and I licked the blood from my master's forehead, which was the same as the water in the sea, and it was salty, and the master smiled at me, and I knew that he was praising me. ”

Xiao Qi was silent for a long time, he had never heard his father mention this matter.

"Bell, do you still want to go to sea with my father?" Xiao Qi asked after a while.

"Yes!" said the bell, wagging his tail.

"Then I'll teach you how to swim. ”

The bell was still a little hesitant, and his eyes avoided Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi patiently brushed the bell's hair with his hands: "If you learn to swim, you can help your father in the future." ”

The bell lowered his head, as if thinking for a while, and called out, "Wang!"

Xiao Qi took the bell to Xiaoli Lake in Changjin Park, found a shallow place, rolled up his trouser legs, and walked into the water with the trembling bell.

Xiao Qi shook the leash in his hand and said, "Bell, don't be afraid, I will always pull you." ”

Although the bell was a little uneasy, when he heard Xiao Qi's words, he was also relieved a lot, and he didn't show a feeling of anxiety.

"When you're in the water, keep your head up, keep paddling on all four legs, you try it first. Xiao Qi said.

The bell took a few steps into the deep water, and the water overflowed its back, and it struggled to raise its head, and its steps became cautious.

Suddenly, the bell seemed to slip on its feet, and instantly drowned in the water, and it immediately made a large splash.

Xiao Qi looked at its helpless appearance and immediately pulled it up.

Bell's eyes seemed to be filled with tears, his nose was bubbling with water, and he looked at Xiao Qi with a resentful look.

Xiao Qi looked at its funny appearance and laughed: "You will drink water in a while, haven't you held your breath?"

The bell shook her head, sneezed, and a snot flowed out, and there was a blank look in her eyes.

Xiao Qi couldn't help but have a big head: "I don't even know how to hold my breath, I just don't breathe, do you understand?"

The bell nodded as if he understood, and after a while, both sides of his mouth bulged up, and then the loose mouth began to leak, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and opened his mouth to gasp for breath, and his tongue hung bent on the side.

Xiao Qi encouraged: "Yes, that's it, you first bury your head in the water here to hold your breath, and when you want to breathe, raise your head." ”

The bell is very executed, and it was about to bury its head in the water, Xiao Qi hurriedly stopped it: "Genius, take a breath and go down." ”

The bell thought about it with its big head, took a deep breath and buried its head, Xiao Qi took out his mobile phone to time it, and it was actually a full minute and a half.

Xiao Qi smiled and said to the panting bell: "Okay, the lung capacity is okay, go back to a deeper place, row your limbs up, remember to hold your breath when you drown in water." ”

Although the bell was still in a hurry this time, there was no more choking after learning to hold his breath, which is a lot of progress.

The bell learns quickly, maybe it shouldn't be said that it learns fast, swimming is the instinct of every dog, it is not afraid of water, just because of the shadow of its youth, it doesn't know what to do when it gets into the water, Xiao Qi just helps it find the right way.

Suddenly, there was a commotion not far away, and when he looked up, he saw a man in the water twenty meters away from the steps of the lakeshore, and he was flapping his arm.

Someone on the shore shouted, "Save my children!"
