Outside the window, the rain was pouring down, the leaves were swaying from side to side, and the windows rustled in the wind.

Inside, the pale yellow floor lamp illuminates the living room. The evening news was repeated on TV, and the beautiful female anchor reminded viewers in standard Mandarin to be aware of tonight's typhoon.

In the bathroom, Mao Dong, who was dressed in home clothes, carried the puppy who had just taken a bath to the sink, and he wiped the water on his body with a big towel.

"Stinky guy."

Mao Dong smiled at it, picked up the hair dryer next to him and turned on the switch, and the whirring wind filled the entire space.

The little guy seemed to be frightened, and sat there honestly with his tail between his legs, and Mao Dong held it in his arms, and he obediently put two little paws on Mao Dong's arms.

The puppy is not big, and it is even more cute when it is cleanly washed. Its nose is jet black, and it is warm and velvety in its arms.

The hair on his body was dried, and Mao Dong put the puppy on the floor. "Let's play!"

In the unfamiliar environment, the puppy seemed very timid, it squatted in place and did not dare to move, and only followed behind him when he saw Mao Dong walking out of the bathroom.

It sniffed in the corner of the room and looked west, and Mao Dong didn't care about it.

Mao Dong vacated a cardboard box, which was covered with a thick layer of small mats with a towel, and pressed it with his hands, which was not bad, quite soft.

He carefully carried the little one inside, and the little dog circled around the box, hanging his little head along the four corners of the box, not knowing what he was smelling.

"You'll sleep here tonight." Mao Dong patted the little guy's head.

He brought chicken sausages and a small bowl of boiled water and put them in the box, and then he squatted next to the box and observed the puppy in the box.

The little one sniffed first, stretched out his little tongue and licked it, and then unceremoniously began to eat.

The little guy eats very cutely, it lies on the cushion prepared by Mao Dong for it, the two little paws in front of it tightly grasp the intestines, and the little mouth eats very deliciously. It looked like it was starving, and in a few moments, it had eaten up a single intestine. Mao Dong smiled and took another one, and in the end, there was nothing left.

"You can eat it." Mao Dong chuckled, got up and dimmed the floor lamp in the living room, "When you're full, go to sleep obediently." ”

Seeing Mao Dong get up, the puppy immediately raised his head and stared at him with the meat residue, as if he was afraid that he would leave.

Placing the little things in the living room, Mao Dong went to take a shower, and when he came back, he wiped his head and deliberately walked over to look at the puppy, and found that the little guy had slept soundly in a group.

"Dog stuff."

He laughed, turned off the living room light, and went back to bed.

***

This night, some people are destined to have sleepless nights.

Liang Ju returned home soaked, and she searched around the community but found nothing.

Duoduo was bought by her cousin with her, and she was picked up from the dog dealer in less than three months, because it was winter, and she fell ill soon after she returned. Liang Ju remembered that during that time, she stayed at her cousin's house almost every day to take care of Duoduo with her cousin, and every night she heard Duoduo clicking from her throat, and her heart ached. Later, Duoduo got better, Liang Ju and his cousin raised Duoduo like children, and every time she came back from school on the weekend, she wanted to see the little guy as soon as possible.

She sat on the edge of the bed and listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the window outside, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

Duoduo has always been very timid, and he has no ability to survive, if he really becomes a stray dog, he will definitely either be starved to death or bitten to death by other stray dogs, as soon as he thinks of this, Liang Ju is distressed and cries even more fiercely.

Fortunately, my cousin didn't call tonight to ask about Duoduo's situation as usual, otherwise, she really didn't know what to say.

Liang Ju thought, tomorrow, she has to go to find it, but if she can't do it, she will post a notice to find someone, no, it's a group of dog notices.

No matter how much it spent, she had to get Duoduo back.

***

I don't know how long I have been asleep, but Mao Dong, who was still asleep, faintly heard a scream. He turned over in a daze, and then remembered that he was not the only one in the family, but also a stray dog.

The moment he opened his eyes, he knew that the noise was coming from the mouth of the little guy in the living room.

Mao Dong still reluctantly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

The moment he opened the bedroom door, he had the illusion that he had gone to the wrong room...

The strange smell came to the nose, the floor of the living room had been sprinkled with dog things several times of urine, and there were originally some nut boxes under the coffee table, but at this time, it also scratched the boxes, and all kinds of nuts were spilled on the ground.

The dog was still barking, and Mao Dong couldn't help but let out a low shout, "Shut up." ”

He had barely taken a few steps towards the living room when he felt one foot on something soft. Looking down, Mao Dong couldn't help but take a breath...

He actually stepped on a piece of!

Not only at the door of the bedroom, but also next to the wooden chair in the living room, under the coffee table, and next to the sofa legs, there are all brown strips.

At least the shit is still formed, and the lump that Mao Dong stepped on under his feet is not only unformed, but even a little sticky...

Mao Dong felt that he was going crazy!

"Wow! Barking! ”

The 'initiator' was still pouting his ass and kept yelling out of the window, and Mao Dong, who was screaming one after another, had a headache.

Mao Dong followed the prestige, and it turned out that he didn't know whose clothes upstairs were blown off by the wind and fell to the drying rack outside the window.

The little guy was startled, and kept his front body prostrate on the ground against the window, his butt pouted, and he was ready to rush forward.

Mao Dong stroked his forehead, threw off the slippers that had stepped on dog shit, and walked over barefoot to close the curtains.

"Stop screaming." Now, his brain hurts.

Too lazy to clean up, anyway, clean up and get dirty, Mao Dong in the middle of the night was really not in the mood to educate that little thing, he found a new pair of slippers, closed the bedroom door in slippers, went back to bed and lay down again.

The little guy seemed to be familiar with the surroundings, Mao Dong heard the sound of it walking, and then, there was a sound of scratching the door on the bedroom door.

The little thing wants to come in and is desperately brushing the door with its little paws.

Mao Dong directly turned over and covered Xia Quilt over his head, he would not be stupid enough to open the door for the dog, he also wanted to keep the bedroom clean for a few days.

In the past few days, Mao Dong has been so tired for a batch of goods to be exported to Hainan, and now, he just wants to sleep well.

Throughout the second half of the night, Mao Dong was in a dream.

In the dream, he returned to the door of the old house where he lived in his hometown when he was a child.

The big pear tree is still planted in the yard in front of the door, and my brother's bicycle is also placed under the pear tree. The yard was swept clean, a lot of golden sunlight was sprinkled at the door of the house, and his childhood partner, the old dog Laifu who had been raised for more than ten years, was actually there, and was chained to the corner of the yard wagging his tail at him.

Mao Dong stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling pleasantly surprised.

The chimney in the old house was still smoking, and Mao Dong vaguely saw his mother in the house through the window on the door.

His parents and eldest brother are waiting for him at home.

Mao Dong hurriedly pushed open the door of the house, the eldest brother Mao Bei was about to put the dumplings in the pot with a curtain, and his mother took out two freshly boiled and steaming eggs from the pot with a smile and handed them to Mao Dong.

"Kid, eat while it's hot."

"Mom! Elder brother! Mao Dong looked at the two familiar and friendly faces, and his eyes immediately ached.

Father came out with two bottles of good wine from the small warehouse and beckoned to Mao Dong, "Dongzi, we have to have a good drink tonight!" ”

"Dad!" Mao Dong happily agreed, his eyes full of mist.

Mao Bei held Mao Dong's hand and looked at his younger brother, "Over the years, you have worked hard alone. ”

Mao Dong shook his head and held his eldest brother tightly, "Brother, it's good for you to come back." ”

Something was going to leak out of his eyes.

It's good that my father, mother, and eldest brother are all back.

The family sat down around the table, eating dumplings that had just come out of the pot, drinking the good wine that their father had hidden for several years, and the mother was cooking snacks and cooking dumplings for their grandfather back and forth in the kitchen, with a smile on her face.

Mao Dong gulped down the dumplings, and for many years, he hadn't eaten his mother's cooking.

"Dongzi, eat some food." The eldest brother gave Mao Dong a chopstick of his favorite sauerkraut stewed pork ribs, Mao Dong looked at the dishes on the plate, and then looked at the smiling eldest brother in front of him, and finally couldn't help it and shed tears.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

"Silly brother, what are you talking to my brother?"

The mother came up with another plate of dumplings and told Mao Dong, "When you leave, Mom will bring you a box of dumplings to eat!" ”

"Alas! Good! Mao Dong nodded vigorously.

He held the dumplings and looked at his father, mother, and eldest brother, who were all sitting in the sun and looking at him with a smile.

It's good that he's not felt so happy in a long time.

Looking at the rare reunion of the family in front of him, Mao Dong burst into tears.

Unlike in the past, this time, he cried with joy.

As long as they can all come back, he will do whatever he wants.

There were a few cries in the trance, and Mao Dong only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly became blurred, and the things around him began to be less real.

His parents and eldest brother were still sitting at the table and enjoying themselves, but the whole picture seemed to be dragged away by someone, getting farther and farther away from him, until they were completely out of sight.

"Brother, brother!"

Suddenly, Mao Dong opened his eyes.

"Wow! Barking! ”

Familiar ceiling, familiar environment, Mao Dong rubbed his forehead, but there was a strange smell between his nose.

The mobile phone ringing next to the pillow kept ringing, and Mao Dong in the haze woke up completely.

"Hey." The voice that just got up was slightly hoarse, Mao Dong picked up the water at the head of the bed and took a sip.

"Brother, the person in Guangzhou has come over, when are you coming?" It's Shar Pei.

Mao Dong pinched his eyebrows and said, "I'll go over immediately." ”

Hanging up the phone, he suddenly remembered the dog thing last night, and he didn't know what the hell it had made the living room.

As soon as Mao Dong got up, before his feet touched the ground, he heard a popping and unhurried sound.

He looked up and saw that the little one was pushing the door open with his head in a small crack, and then swaggered in through the bedroom door.

Mao Dong sat on the bed, watched how the stinky thing came to the side of the bed and sniffed, raised one leg, and then blatantly drew a picture of the Qingming River under his nose.

"Woo..."

Of course, in the end, this poor little teddy still couldn't avoid being grabbed by Mao Dong by the neck and thrown directly from the bedroom to the nest in the living room.

"Don't come out!" He feigned anger and pointed at the little guy with an angry expression.

"Ahh

The little guy seemed to know that he had made a mistake, licked his paws, and gathered himself in a ball, lying there comfortably, blinking his eyes to see how Mao Dong, the shoveler, cleaned up the mess in the living room.

***

After a heavy rain, the sky was blue, and a curved rainbow appeared in the sky.

Liang Ju had no time to take care of this rare beauty, and her whole heart was anxious.

Repeatedly searching along the woods of the community, shouting Duoduo's name while looking, but no matter how you shouted, you couldn't find the shadow of a dog.

The two little security guards who changed shifts in the morning came out of the duty room after changing their clothes, and one of them, security guard A, was still the one who helped Liang Ju find Duoduo yesterday.

Seeing Liang Ju standing on the side of the road, security guard A walked over and said hello, "Haven't found it yet?" ”

Another security guard, B, was in charge of the parking lot of the community, and saw that the two of them also came up.

"Looking for what?"

"A puppy." Security guard A replied. "Oh yes, you didn't see a puppy yesterday, it's not big, it's so small, it's chubby, it's brown."

The short security guard B replied casually while sorting out his bag: "It seems that there is such a one, I heard from the residents of the community that they have been lying at the door of the parking lot at the back all night." ”

When Liang Ju heard this, his eyes immediately widened, "Really? Someone saw it? ”

"Yes, it rained so hard yesterday and it was quite pitiful, but it's a pity that no one likes dogs, so I don't care..."

"Where's the parking lot? Take me there! ”

Liang Ju excitedly grabbed security guard B's arm and was about to leave, but security guard B said, "I just got off the night shift and want to go home and sleep." ”

"I'll take you!" It's still a good enthusiastic security guard, and take the initiative to ask for help.

The weather after the rain was extremely hot, and the two of them were already sweating profusely when they ran to the parking lot.

"Where are you?" She anxiously looked around.

Security guard A scratched his head, "Could it be that you ran away again?" ”

Liang Ju was dying, and he didn't know if Duoduo would be arrested by the dog dealers.

"By the way, I heard that someone near the community recently caught stray dogs and killed them for food." The little security guard was very practical and said to Liang Ju innocently.

After listening to his words, Liang Ju suddenly had an idea, she simply fainted.
