As the former leader of the territory, the old cripple is very familiar with the terrain and landforms around this area.

From the mouth of the human woman, the old cripple knew that the boy who had always been staring around him had gone missing after coming out of the place called the hospital.

The old cripple knew that there was always a crowd coming in and out of that place at any time. It's similar to the three-story building it lives in, it's a doctor's place, except that one is for people and the other is for animals.

Quickly running to the gate of the county hospital, the old man lowered his head and kept sniffing on the ground nearby.

Humans really can't let them do things, and they have to find someone to go with two cats.

The old cripple admitted that the big black cat named Mo was really powerful when he grabbed the territory, but when he said that he had to rely on their dogs to find people.

After a while, the old cripple smelled the boy's scent, and following the place where the smell continued, the old cripple opened his legs and followed.

The smell of the child in Tai'an was indeed going to the Fujimoto Hospital, but at a fork in the road, the child went the wrong way and went in the direction of another one.

The old cripple looked down as he walked, sniffing and sniffing it, and when he looked up, he found that the surrounding environment was slowly changing.

Along the way, the main road changed from the main road to a fine gravel road, and the surrounding scenery also changed from layers of buildings to grass and vegetable fields.

After walking back and forth a few steps, he raised his head and sniffed in the air, and the old cripple was sure that Tai'an's child was coming this way.

Looking at the river flowing around the city under the embankment, the old remnant was secretly anxious in his heart.

The kid who often circles around it is very bold, and it is estimated that looking at this surging river, not only will he not be afraid, but will happily walk over to study it.

Sure enough, after looking for a while next to the river embankment, the old man saw a little boy wearing a pair of wet pants and playing in the water by the river.

This kid who made everyone in his family go crazy is now stepping on the water with two feet, and he is curiously moving around the river with his hands, and he seems to be very comfortable.

Seeing this, the old cripple suddenly felt that his teeth were itching, and that feeling was even more itchy than when he was in the dog gang and was surrounded by a group of puppies.

At this time, the child seemed to be aware of the old man's gaze, and when he raised his head, he saw it standing on the river embankment.

Spotting his favorite dog, Taean seemed to want him to join him in his game, so he stood up and raised his legs to walk to the shore.

This river is the main source of water for agriculture in the county, although it is not wide, but the water is abundant, and there is always water all year round, so there are many aquatic plants growing under the river.

The little boy accidentally stepped on it while walking, slipped under his feet and didn't stand still, and fell directly into the water.

The rapid current of the water directly washed the fallen Tai'an out several meters, but fortunately, the child was lucky enough to grab a protruding stone in the center of the river so that he was not taken away by the water.

Seeing this, the old cripple didn't think about it, ran and flew directly into the river, swimming towards Tai'an, who was struggling in the center of the river.

came to Tai'an's side, opened his mouth and grabbed his clothes directly.

The boy trusted the old cripple very much, and when it took his mouth, he let go of his grip on the stone.

The old remnant swam to the shore with Tai'an in his mouth, but the river was too fast, and after a few attempts, they were all washed back.

The child's teeth began to ache from the weight of the child, but he didn't want to give up at all.

While treading water in the river, the calm old remnant observed the surroundings and found that dozens of meters away from here, after a turn, the river would become wide, and the water flow would be relatively gentle.

So the old cripple gave up going against the current, relaxed his body and let himself and Tai'an go down the water, and after being washed through the bend, he swam to the shore.

Sure enough, it was much easier to swim when it came here, and the old man gritted his teeth and swam forward with Tai'an, until it reached the shallow water, where its feet could touch the ground and drag Tai'an to the shore.

By this time some of the people who were walking by the river had spotted them and ran towards them.

Tai'an, who was dragged ashore by the old remnant, got up from the ground and pouted as if he was about to cry.

What the old cripple is most afraid of is the chirp of the cubs, as long as they chirp, the old cripple will start to be at a loss.

So he knew that the boy liked to touch his old cripple very much, and in order to prevent Tai'an from crying, he took the initiative to put his big head against it.

Tai'an, whose eyes had begun to burst into tears, was stunned when he saw this, and then his facial features, which had never been expressionless, suddenly began to wrinkle.

After a few back and forth movements, a big smile broke out of his face.

The boy stretched out his arm and hugged the old man's big head, and stroked it very hard with his little hand, and the old man clearly heard that the child touched its head and said, "Good dog." ”

In an instant, an unknown force overflowed its limbs, and the heart that had been cold for a long time had a temperature again, hot and hot, making the old cripple's hard-lost tailbone soft again.

At an angle that Tai'an couldn't see, the old cripple's tail, which had originally hung down to the ground, slowly grew up, and the fluffy tail curled forward and bent on his back, swaying from side to side.

At this moment, the old cripple felt that the sun was shining on his body.

When Nanako and the others rushed to the police station after receiving a call from the police, Taian was sleeping on the bench of the police station wrapped in a blanket and holding the old cripple.

After seeing that her son was safe, Mrs. Nanako, who was so anxious, finally couldn't control her feelings anymore, and stepped forward to hug her son and cry.

Tai'an was woken up by his mother in a daze, rubbed his eyes and looked up, only to find that his mother was crying.

Seeing this, the child was a little overwhelmed at first, and then he reached out to wipe the tears from Nanako's face and said, "Mom." Don't cry. ”

It had been many years since she had heard this child call herself Nanako, and she could hardly believe it, she hugged her child and asked, "Tai'an, what do you call me, are you calling me once?" ”

The little boy blinked when he heard this and said, "Mom." ”

Nanako, who was so excited that she didn't know what to do, asked Mrs. Fujimoto behind her, "Senpai, did you hear that?" Tai'an, he called me mom, he opened his mouth to call me mom. ”

Mrs. Fujimoto, who knows how difficult it is to be a parent of an autistic child, is very relieved to say, "I remember that the attending doctor of Tai'an once said that being able to take the initiative to communicate with others is the expression of the disease. This time Tai'an can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Nanako should be happy. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Nanako nodded again and again and said, "I'm happy, of course I'm happy." ”

While they were still talking, a police officer came over there to call the family of the lost child to sign, and when they came out of the police station after completing the formalities, Tai'an hugged the old man and refused to let go of anything.

Seeing this, Nanako remembered her son's cousin these days, and this time it was thanks to this dog that her own son was able to be safe, thinking about the fate of her son and this dog, she moved the idea of adoption.

So Nanako asked Mrs. Fujimoto, "Senpai, I heard that this dog is a stray dog that you rescued. You see Tai'an likes this dog so much, this dog also likes us Tai'an, I want to adopt it and don't know what to do? ”

Mrs. Fujimoto smiled when she heard this and said, "You want to adopt a stray dog, it's not difficult. First of all, you have to take the picture of the dog to the newspaper to make an announcement, if no one comes to claim the dog within three days, then it can be considered ownerless. After that, you can take the epidemic prevention certificate issued by us, go to the animal department to apply for a dog license, and then you can take it home. ”

Nanako took out her mobile phone when she heard this, took a photo of the old remnant with the camera function on it, and then said to Mrs. Fujimoto: "Senior sister, things should be done sooner rather than later, I will take the photo to the newspaper office." ”

Three days later, no one came to claim the old disabled, Nanako took her son to lead the old disabled person, and went to the Animal Department to get the dog license, and from now on there will be one more family member in the family.

Tai'an clumsily tied the collar to the old man's neck, and under the collar, hung a polygonal wooden dog tag with the words 'えいゆう' written in crooked Japanese.

This dog tag is made by Tai'an himself, although it is not good-looking, but it is his most sincere heart.

えいゆう is the meaning of a hero.,In the eyes of this child.,This looks fierce.,It's not cute or cute at all.,There's even a little scary disabled dog.,It's a hero who no one can replace in his mind.。

The old cripple obediently walked on the outside of Tai'an, isolating the boy from the outside lane, a habit he had developed after he began to accompany the boy in the past few days.

Xu Jie, who had nothing to do, also took Mo and a group of cats to sit on the wall not far away and watch, it saw that the old man's tail had been hanging down and didn't know when it started, and it actually rolled up to his back.

Not only rolled but also shaken, and Ah Wang, who had robbed the old cripple for almost a year, said in surprise: "The old cripple, that guy, can actually wag his tail?" ”

The old remnant who was following Tai'an turned his head and bared his teeth at the cats crouching on the wall, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but wag his tail on his back.

After that, people can often see a German black-backed man with a missing ear and a very fierce appearance, who will consciously pick up its little owner back and forth to the hospital every day, rain or shine from morning to night.

When the owner sees a doctor, he squats outside the clinic and waits, and when the master comes home, he sits on the outermost side to isolate the traffic for him, and when it rains outside, it will brave the rain to go to Fujimoto's house to borrow an umbrella for the owner, and every day the master does not eat, and it will never eat.

The boy's condition gradually improved under his care, and every day when Mrs. Nanako sent them out, she would always hear her son shouting to the dog energetically, "Hero, let's go, let's go." ”

Then the hero will follow the boy and never go away.
