Chapter 16: Hesitation

"Guli! Guli! ”

Ling Li led the rice grains, shouting the name of the other dog, while anxiously walking around the grass of Huanhua Park and the nearby grove.

On Monday, she was ridiculed by Zhu Jinchuan, even if she was a clay man, she was angry, and she resigned from her job in the law firm in a fit of anger, and regretted it a little afterwards.

It's not that I regret losing such a meager job, but I don't know how to explain it to my uncle.

Uncle always thought that Zhu Jinchuan took good care of her very much and developed well, which made my uncle feel a sense of accomplishment.

If he knew that she had resigned, his uncle would definitely go to Zhu Jinchuan to ask, and if he knew the true situation of her work, I am afraid he would be much more uncomfortable than her.

Before she could figure out how to talk to her uncle, Ling Li had no choice but to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and after walking the dog, she pretended to go out to work in the morning, but in fact she had nowhere to go.

The black miasma in the Internet café is full of the smell of smoke that she hates, the café is heated, and the air is full of bitter and fragrant coffee, but a drink costs dozens of yuan. Ling Li was shy in her pocket, and she was not so thick-skinned and sat with her cup for a day.

After sitting on the park bench for an afternoon, Ling Li only felt that he was so cold that people turned white, shivering and drinking the water that still had some temperature in the thermos cup, and suddenly missed the two plush and warm Wang Xingren in Nan Zhiyi's house.

In just a few days, Mi Li and Guli have completely stuck to her, as soon as they hear her footsteps, they will run over and scratch the door, and after opening the door, they will roll around her and hum and chirp all kinds of treasures.

With these two big plush guys here, Ling Li also selectively ignored the not-so-friendly smell in Nanzhiyi's house.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her head, and she finally found a way to pass the time.

Later, she got up early every day to go out for a stroll, pretending to go out to work in front of her uncle who bought vegetables to open a store, but in fact, she quietly ran to Nanzhiyi's house with sneakers, took Mi Li Guli out to play all day, and sent the dog home in the evening, she returned to her nest and continued to look for work on the Internet.

Early on Friday morning, as she had done the other day, she let go of her dog on the fenced lawn of the park, while she took her mobile phone and flipped through major recruitment websites to look for a job.

As a result, because she was too engaged, when she raised her head again, only rice grains jumped in her sight, and the enlarged version of the Golden Retriever Guli was gone.

Ling Li hurriedly put the rice grains on and began to look for them nearby. But after turning around for a long time, I didn't see Gu Li's shadow.

She was a little anxious, if she lost Guli, how could she explain to Nan Zhiyi? If Nan Zhiyi asks her for compensation, she can't afford to pay if she is unemployed.

Ling Li was about to go crazy, obviously a small place, and he didn't know where Gu Li's elf ghost was hiding.

She turned around several times, and at last she saw a big golden tail like a broom sneaking past her at the corner of a flower stand.

"Guli!" Ling Li yelled and rushed forward to grab the tail, but after several meters away, the tail disappeared.

By the time she turned the corner, Guli had already run away, and when she heard the shout, she glanced back at her, and ran around the flower platform with her head held high and small steps triumphantly.

Ling Li shouted and chased after her, but the more she shouted Guli, the more she ran. It didn't run fast, it kept a distance of a few meters from her, but Ling Li couldn't reach it all the time.

Where can the two-legged beast outrun Wang Xingren, after a few laps, Ling Li was out of breath and couldn't run, Gu Li saw that there was no one chasing behind, so he also slowed down, and turned around and grinned at her, so angry that Ling Li's liver hurt.

was angry with this stinky dog, Ling Li almost knotted her head and let go of Mi Li to chase it, and when her hand touched the leash between Mi Li's neck, she realized that her IQ was not online and she almost did something stupid again.

It's a headache to catch a Guli, and then a larger version of Erha that is even more stupid and stunned? By the way, this stupid dog still pulls sleds for a living, but I'm afraid that she won't be able to touch half of the dog's hair if she can chase her breath!

Ling Li thought as he ran, since he couldn't fight with physical strength, should he give full play to his unique human expertise, such as some little trick to deceive Wang Xingren or something.

For a while, he was entangled in how to outwit, but he didn't pay attention to his feet, and stepped on a large raised stone on the road next to the flower bed, and was slipped by the moss on the stone.

Ling Li fell on his stomach, there was no place from his hands to his knees that didn't hurt, and his head was also groggy. Suddenly, there was a force on her left hand, and she immediately tightened the leash.

Fortunately, she woke up enough, even if she didn't get off the leash of the rice grain, she still had to chase a dog when she got up.

It's just that this fall, her glasses don't know where to go.

Her eyes were blurry, and with her empty eyes, it seemed that her glasses were two or three meters away from her.

She hurriedly tried to stand up with her palms propped up, but suddenly felt that the touch of her right hand was not quite right.

The wet and soft mass that seemed to be a little sticky seemed to be a little too much with the touch of the earth in her more than 20 years of life experience.

Plus a little bit of smell in the nose......

An ominous premonition rose in Ling Li's heart, and he raised his right hand with wide eyes, only to feel miserable.

To say that the wisdom of the working people in China and abroad is infinite, and the summary of life experience is very good, and various versions can be found in the description of the same state.

For example, in her current situation, the more elegant way of saying it is "the house leak coincides with the overnight rain", the popular saying is "people are unlucky to drink cold water and stuff their teeth", and the more vulgar is a simple and clear sentence "shit"......

Ling Li couldn't cry or laugh. This is a real shit, it looks like the product of a certain Wang Xingren who only has a little diarrhea, and she is sparse and yellow.

The dog didn't catch it, but it caught a hand of shit, and there was no one else who had this bad luck. The luck in the misfortune is probably that she still saw the yellow calendar when she wrestled, if she had fallen half a meter back from the position where the acceleration was lower just now, maybe it would be her face that was covered with shit.

Gu Li, who had been running to tease Ling Li just now, saw that the little girl walking the dog was unlucky at this time, but she ran over with her mouth open, and her natural smiling face seemed to have a little schadenfreude at this time.

Ling Li didn't have time to be angry with her at this time, and she only felt that everything was lost when she looked at the filth on her hands.

She has always been clean, and she usually can't stand a little stain and oil stains on her body, let alone her skin directly touching this pile of excrement?

It's hard to feel uncomfortable, and the top priority at the moment is to clean your hands.

But she only has a small handkerchief in her pocket, and if she takes it out to wipe her poop, she won't use it anymore.

Looking around, she couldn't care about public morality or injustice, first rubbed her dirty hands on a fairly clean piece of grass, then got up and pulled Gu Li to the side of the road, pinched the orchid finger with her right hand and tied her to the trunk with her unstained index finger and thumb, and then stood on tiptoe and pulled a big leaf and began to wipe her hands.

The yellow fades away, replaced by a pale green.

Gu Li naturally didn't leave when she encountered such an interesting thing, tilted her head to look at the excitement, her nose was steaming, and her expression was poured from her voice, it really seemed that she was laughing.

Ling Li had time to control her at this time, turned her head and said viciously: "Sample, you wait!" See that I don't peel your skin. ”

In terms of IQ, Gu Li is completely better than a stupid big rice grain, she is very good at observing words and feelings, looking at Ling Li's annoyed and embarrassed eyes, her eyes are about to breathe fire, and she immediately turned her head and wanted to run.

Ling Li couldn't care too much, and stretched out her slightly cleaner right hand to grab her collar, but Wang Xingren moved too fast, and the shovel official was so slow that he didn't touch the official, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the air.

Ling Li was very annoyed, this wave of unsettled waves rose again and again, it was simply the momentum of the waves of Honghu Lake, and they were about to shoot her to death on the beach.

was really losing the dog with a headache, how to explain to Nan Zhiyi, suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and he rushed towards Gu Li's golden figure, and the speed was very fast.

When she saw it clearly, the man was already dragging Guli's collar with one hand, holding its dishonest head with the other, turning his face to her and saying, "Come, I'll help you catch it." ”

Ling Li didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly dragged the leash she had just thrown on the ground from the lawn, ran up and squatted down to use the leash to lasso Gu Li, only to feel that a big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.

She gritted her teeth and pinched its ears, and cried out in hatred: "Wild child! Disobedient! It's really worth fighting! ”

Gu Li was scolded by her so much that she honestly lowered her head, rubbed her trouser leg and began to be coquettish, and finally simply rolled on the grass and turned her belly to show Ling Li.

Originally, she wanted to use the dirty hand just now to pull the hair on the top of Gu Li's head to disgust her, but seeing this kind of cowardice with a slight start, Ling Li cried and laughed, so she had to flick its nose hard to show punishment.

After getting Guli done, she finally remembered that she should thank the person who helped her catch the dog.

As soon as she looked up, Ling Li was stunned.

The young man in front of him who was helping, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, was wearing a gray tracksuit, with a neat flat head and a leash in his hand.

The thin eyebrows and eyes are not good-looking, but they look very energetic, the waist is straight, and there is a bit of a unique temperament. The most important thing is that Ling Li always feels that this person is a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.

"Thank you." Ling Li said, still unable to match this face with the person in her mind.

The man waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and his eyes were staring at Guli: "This is a Hough* dog, right?" ”

Ling Li tilted her head and recalled, as if the neighbor said that Guli's breed was indeed this one that day, so she nodded slightly.

The man smiled slightly, revealing neat white teeth: "This dog is not common, I bought it abroad, right?" Which kennel? ”

Ling Li didn't really want to talk to strangers, especially now that she was in a hurry to wash her hands to get rid of the smell of her hands.

But the person in front of her smiled with crooked eyebrows and eyes, which was very pleasing, and just now she helped her catch the dog, she really didn't have a cold face.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and had to respond politely: "This dog is not mine, I just help walk it." ”

"Oh!" The man realized, raised his chin and smiled more at the corner of his mouth: "I see that you are holding two big guys every day, I thought you must like dogs very much, it turns out that you have suffered from it on behalf of others." These two goods are difficult, they can be eaten, they can be pulled, they can be made, a dog is worth a bear child, and you have to pull two, which is harder than being a parent. ”

Ling Li said absentmindedly with a bitter face: "Yes, it's really hard." ”

After speaking, she quietly put her right hand behind her back, not wanting to be discovered by others who had just made a fool of herself.

However, the man couldn't even open the pot, he stretched out his right hand to her, as if he wanted to shake hands: "I'm Xie Keer, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Seeing that she really couldn't hide it, Ling Li smiled awkwardly: "I'm Ling Li, but there's no need to shake hands, I just ...... Oh, and just cleaned up the dog poop. ”

Fortunately, she was in a hurry and made up nonsense. But as soon as she finished speaking, she became even more empty-hearted, and moved lightly to block Xie Ke'er's sight, so that he would not have a chance to notice her unsightly green right hand.

Xie Keer didn't care about being rejected, he withdrew his hand with a smile, raised his chin and pointed at a dog not far away: "I'm not as miserable as you, there is a little ancestor at home." Look, it's that flying mop over there. ”

Ling Li really didn't want to be verbose any longer, turned his head, and saw a flying gray Komon dog playing on the grass at a glance, his hair hanging vertically like a rope, and a moving mop alive.

Rao was waiting for her to burn her buttocks, but the funny appearance of the mop dog made her laugh.

She finally remembered that she had indeed seen Xie Keer walking the mop before, so she felt that he was a little familiar.

Finally she couldn't help it, she bit her lip and made up her mind, and said to Sheker: "Can you help me look at the dog, I'll go to the bathroom?" ”

Xie Keer hooked the corners of his mouth: "No problem, you can go." ”

Ling Li nodded and hurriedly ran to the park bathroom a few hundred meters away. She'd have to hurry, because it's a bit of a risk to entrust her dog to a stranger she doesn't know. But it was too difficult for her to lead two dogs who were not obedient at all to wash their hands.

She ran preoccupiedly, forgetting to retract the hand she had been carrying behind her.

Shekel noticed the suspicious pale green color and was stunned.

As soon as he looked down, he saw the leaves of the trees with unknown objects under his feet, the small poop by the flowerbed not far away, and the slippery marks clearly visible on a moss-covered stone.

He understood in an instant. No wonder there was an inexplicable strange smell just now, and it turned out that the source was like this.

Ten minutes later, Ling Li returned.

She almost rubbed her right hand until it peeled, and rinsed it under cold water for a long time, and it looked clean on the surface, but when she approached her nose, there was still a strange smell.

If she hadn't been in a hurry to come back to get rice grains and Guli, she would have been able to wash for an hour.

Xie Keer waited for her in place, watching her come back, lowering his eyes as if casually glancing at her frozen red right hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Thank you." Ling Li took the leash from him, thanked him again, and prepared to leave.

She had to hurry back, and the first thing she needed was to brush her right hand with a brush dipped in antiseptic solution, not letting go of every inch of the texture of her skin and the crevices of her nails.

"Let the dog play again." Seeing that she was leaving, Xie Keer smiled and stayed.

Ling Li opened her mouth and was about to say no, but Xie Keer had already grabbed ahead of her and spoke: "I see that the two dogs in your hands are a little fat, and the waist line has begun to become less obvious, so you have to strengthen your exercise." Otherwise, dogs that are too fat are prone to illness and joint problems, especially in Alaska, if they are obese for a long time, they are prone to pancreatic islet tumors, and the soles of the feet are swollen and cracked, and they can't even walk. ”

Ling Li also became vigilant when she said this: "Really fat? ”

Xie Keer nodded, and said conclusively: "Yes, these are all working dogs, and it is dangerous not to exercise enough, so it's easy to come out, so let them move more." ”

He bowed down again and touched Gu Li's head: "You see, there is too little sun, and the dog's coat color is not so moist." ”

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, or if he really understands that the dog is to the point, Ling Li also seems to feel that Gu Li's coat color seems to be a little dull. So, I agreed to his suggestion.

For more than an hour, the three dogs frolicked and played on the grass, while Xie Keer and Ling Li stood guard by the fence of the grass.

The two of them chatted with each other, and although one had the intention to find a topic, Ling Li was helplessly absent-minded.

She always felt that she had a bad smell on her body, so she unconsciously wanted to stay away from Shekker.

Xie Keer once again saw Ling Li secretly raise his right hand, pretending to sniff it inadvertently, and then frowned slightly, and secretly moved out a step as if he was afraid of the smell of his question, and he really wanted to laugh.

She had almost washed the skin off her hands just now, and she should have washed everything, but she was still suspicious.

It's so silly that it's kind of cute.

Looking down to hide his smile, he suddenly saw what seemed to be something on the grass not far away. took out the special pocket and stepped forward, he picked up the ball of dog feces and threw it into the garbage can, and said lightly: "It's too unethical, and I don't clean up dog feces in public." ”

originally thought that this move would make Ling Li like it, but unexpectedly, she almost jumped up like someone had stepped on her tail, and then hurriedly called back the two dogs to leave, her eyes were fluttering and she looked a little weak-hearted, and she didn't even have the heart to say goodbye to him seriously.

Before leaving, Xie Keer shouted at her back: "I walk the dog here on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and I will have a chance to play together next time." ”

Ling Li turned her head and smiled at him, but muttered in her heart that she wouldn't come again, which made her a big ugly place.

I don't know if it's because I'm too excited to play with my new partner, or if Gu Li has a gorgeous adventure, anyway, the two Wang Xingren refuse to go honestly on the way home, jumping and jumping around, and the old and Ling Li are in opposition.

When they reached a fork in the road, the two dogs began to diverge again, and Ling Li dragged one with one hand, but he couldn't drag it back.

A little dog walker who was in a hurry to go home was so anxious that who knew that the phone rang without knowing the time.

It was easy to suppress the bear child who was going to rebel, Ling Li took out the phone in his pocket, saw that there were some familiar numbers flashing on the screen, and hesitantly connected.

On the other end of the phone, there was also a deep male voice that was so familiar that she couldn't tell who it was: "Hey? Is it Miss Ling Li? ”

Ling Li replied yes, and said suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

Suddenly, her mind turned, could it be that there was an echo in her resume? How can it be so fast? It used to be all stone-walled.

Before she could be happy, the man said in a lonely voice: "You just slapped someone in the face a week ago, and you didn't remember me so soon?" ”
