Tang An and Sang Mengmeng walked out of the school together, walked through the red brick and green tile wall, and walked on the chaotic stone road, Tang An chose another route that was a little farther away, but quieter.

This is usually Tang An's running route, but Lin Yuling seems to run like this, so Tang An changed.

Sang Mengmeng was holding a small red plaid leather bag, a bit like the style of the Dior Princess bag, but it was obviously not, and there was a puppy motif inlaid with diamonds in an inconspicuous position on the side.

Tang An remembered that when Nan Mao first monitored Sang Mengmeng, he thought it was evidence because Sang Mengmeng's pajamas had a dog pattern on them.

These certainly can't be considered evidence, but Nanmao is right.

The two of them walked for a while, but they didn't speak, Sang Mengmeng seemed to be waiting for Tang An to speak, but Tang An didn't seem to know where to start.

"What you said is true?" walked to the location of the park, this point is not the time to hang out after dinner, the uncles and aunts are still preparing the meals at home, the office workers have not yet gotten off work, and the few idle people in the park are also hiding in a more shady place, it seems that the entire park is reserved for Tang An and Sang Mengmeng to talk.

Sang Mengmeng stopped and stood on the edge of the lake.

Sparkling and rippling, with willows hanging down from the water, soaked leaves revealing an increasingly verdant color, the lake breeze blowing Mulberry's sprouting hair, she squinted her eyes, took a deep breath and turned back.

"Really. Sang Mengmeng nodded.

Tang An smiled, such a question and answer didn't seem to make much sense. She should have said something more.

Sang Mengmeng didn't let him wait long, and pointed to the slightly more spacious open space in front of him, and there was a pavilion next to it. There are a few pieces of advertising paper pasted on the old red garbage can, which is dirty and old.

"Do you remember here?" Sang Mengmeng's gaze was very gentle, it was a gaze immersed in memory and emotion.

Tang An didn't quite understand what Sang Mengmeng meant, and said hesitantly: "When I was a child, I often came here with my mother to play......"

"I'm seeing you here for the first time. Sang Mengmeng jumped to the bottom of the pavilion, "At that time, there were many dog dealers here, and they used baskets to carry all kinds of puppies, greeting parents with children." Young students, all kinds of people who are overflowing with love are their target sellers. ”

"Now it's gone, it's all driven away by the chengguan...... They sell sick puppies. Tang An remembered something. Once upon a time, it was too long to be forgotten in the depths of memory if you didn't think about it.

Such memories constitute the past of most people, and they will remember it when they need it. More often than not, it's just a vague mess in the back of my mind.

"Those puppies are pathetic...... Most of them are sick. Or it's just a small cold, or some fever, or it's just canine distemper that doesn't live long...... Sang Mengmeng said lightly, "Dog dealers don't feed them much, so hungry puppies, even if they are sick, because of hunger, they will look very lively when someone comes to tease them." Then the dog dealer will take some corn kernels or something that is not suitable for them at all, and they will rush to pounce...... In the eyes of passers-by. That's cuteness. ”

There was not much anger and emotion in Sang Mengmeng's faint tone, just the taste of calm and memories, but Tang An couldn't help but sigh and feel sad and helpless.

"Most of these puppies will die...... Some of them can't hold it anymore and will no longer behave actively, so they will be abandoned by dog dealers and thrown in the trash can to freeze or starve to death. "Sang Meng has an old crimson trash can, "At that time, there were often some dead puppies in this trash can, some of them were still dying when they were found, and they were not really dead, but no one would save them." ”

Tang An approached Sang Mengmeng and gently stopped Sang Mengmeng's shoulder, her shoulder was very soft, so soft that when Tang An held it hard, he could feel the cold breath hidden in her body that seemed to be frozen.

"The dog dealers would carry the puppies in a bamboo basket, and a dozen puppies would be crammed into it, some black, some white, and some dyed in a colorful way, which the dog dealers called tiger dogs...... The puppies scramble to show their liveliness, and their instincts tell them that although their chances of survival are slim, they have a slim chance of surviving only if someone can take them away, and they have no chance of surviving at all in the hands of the dog dealers. Sang Mengmeng turned her head sideways and leaned on Tang An's shoulder, her tone was gentle but cold, "Even if they grow up in the hands of dog dealers, it won't be long before they become meat dogs in the vegetable market and a delicious hot pot, you have eaten such a dog meat hot pot, have you eaten it......"

Tang An suddenly felt a little hard to breathe and a deep sense of guilt, no matter what happened to others, Tang An felt that he would never go to eat dog meat hot pot again in the future.

"I don't blame you, the meat is a law of survival. Sang Mengmeng's cheeks rubbed a few times on Tang An's shoulder, and then said: "At that time, I was one of the puppies, together with many other puppies, sleeping in a cold dog cage at night, and was taken out and put in a small basket during the day, and adults and children who came and went on the edge of the basket, no one could look forward to our eyes, more people just came to touch, grabbed it in their hands to play, and put it on the ground to run a shot, consuming our physical strength and vitality...... And then it was gone...... There are not many people who buy it, and every day a large basket of puppies, maybe only two or three are sold, they are very lucky and lucky, and they are the object of our envy......"

Tang An remembered that the first time Sang Mengmeng said they met was here, what kind of scene it was at that time.

"I felt a little different from other puppies...... I seem to be able to understand what people are saying, and they point at which puppy is cuter and which one is uglier...... I'm smarter than the other puppies, and when someone says I'm cute, I desperately squeeze out of the other puppies and hold their hands tightly, hoping that they can take me away......" Sang Mengmeng hugged Tang An tightly, "But no one really wants to, because I'm just an ordinary little white dog, and it's easier to look dirty, thin and small...... Now that I think about it, I guess I was lucky not to be taken away by them. ”

The breeze on the lake was slightly cool, and Tang An and Sang Mengmeng, who were hugging each other, were like a couple muttering love words, Tang An didn't have any rejection of Sang Mengmeng's active closeness for the first time, and just wanted to hug her tightly.

"Even though I'm smarter than other puppies, it doesn't help. For dog dealers, they don't care about the life and death of these puppies, after all, their lives are very cheap, a few dollars a can be wrung from the dog farm a big box, if a puppy is found to have symptoms of canine distemper, they will not be isolated, only those very serious will be sick dogs, will be thrown aside by them directly, because no one will buy sick dogs. Sang Mengmeng raised her head and rubbed her forehead against Tang An's cheek for a while.

"I remembered...... That's when you were sick. Tang An sighed, the first time he saw the puppy, he was indeed a little dirty and sick.

"I have never been sold, but because I have always been very active, the dog dealers still take me with me every day...... Later, I became ill, and it was impossible for a dog dealer to cure me......" Sang Mengmeng's tears flowed on Tang An's chest, "I know that if I get sick and am not sold, I will soon be discarded and die...... I didn't want to be thrown into that trash can where there were still a lot of puppy corpses, so I was more lively than usual, desperately holding the hands of those people, even if they seemed to like me a little bit, I would try to stand up, or roll around, and put on a cute show...... When I get canine distemper, I will have diarrhea, so in order not to be noticed by the dog dealers, I will rub and wipe the little butt clean every time. ”

Tang An gently stroked Sang Mengmeng's back, the struggle of weak animals, survival, who would have thought that it would be so difficult for a puppy to get a chance to live?

"Am I smart?" Sang Mengmeng said in Tang An's ear.

"Very smart...... But I remember when I met you, you weren't so lively and motionless. "Tang An already believes it, there is no need for Sang Mengmeng to become a puppy or something, I haven't experienced these things, where do I understand...... This is not an emotion that a person who makes up a story for the sake of prank can portray.

"yes...... At that time, even though I always wiped my little butt clean on cardboard, I was still noticed by dog dealers because the hair on my butt always looked a little yellow. Sang Mengmeng's body shook slightly, "It's just that the dog dealers didn't deal with me immediately, they don't care if the dog is sick or not, as long as they can still behave very lively...... So I worked harder, and I became thinner because I didn't eat much, but I used more energy. ”

Tang An smelled the fragrance of Sang Mengmeng's hair, perhaps it was because of this experience that Sang Mengmeng was grateful to the one who took her away, so she would come to look for him again.

It's just that there are still a lot of doubts in my mind...... But those doubts don't matter.

"I met you that day, and it was the last day that the dog dealer decided to take me out to sell...... Because compared to before, I really didn't have the strength to perform desperately anymore, so I could only stand in the corner reluctantly, waiting for someone to come and hug me, and then try to move to show that I was still alive. Sang Mengmeng's voice was choked, "I didn't have hope that day, and I didn't have the strength, and I was squeezed into the corner by other puppies, but I didn't expect that you reached over and hugged me carefully...... I thought you were just scratching at random, just like everyone else, but you took me in your arms and didn't put me down. ”

You can have many choices, and yet you are the most inconspicuous of all the choices...... So you will always be my master, and now that I have long hair and waist-length beauty, let me be your puppy, okay?

Sang Mengmeng hugged Tang An tightly and was no longer willing to let go. (To be continued......)
