Ah Huang is a stray old dog.

As a stray dog, it has only enjoyed a warm time since the moment it can remember, but it only lasted until the moment of its mother's death, and it has never received human kindness again.

Because of the long-term wandering, its body is much weaker than ordinary dogs, not to mention those noble pet dogs.

The hair has not been taken care of for a long time, and the original brownish-yellow hair now looks black in some places, and the hair under the ears has also disappeared, and some parasites are stored in the wounds left by the previous competition with other stray dogs for food.

That night, as usual, it rummaged through the trash cans.

After filling the garbage can with a little stuff, it burrowed into an alley.

That's where it has come to live in recent times.

It remembers the human it met last week.

The human it encountered when it rummaged through all the nearby trash cans and had nothing to fill its stomach.

It was lying on its stomach at the mouth of the alley, sticking out its tongue, looking at the humans passing by.

The other party seems to have noticed it as well.

At first, he stopped in a hurry, looked at it, and slowly walked towards it as if he was thinking about something.

After years of encounters, Ah Huang wanted to go up and give her a bite, but he hadn't found food to fill his stomach for a while.

It's not very strong.

I can only use my cloudy eyes to watch each other walk towards this side step by step.

Squatted down.

A bun was taken out of the plastic bag.

It was still hot, and it was gently placed not far away.

Smelling the fragrance, it seemed that it had never eaten such delicious food, and it came to it hungry and swallowed the bun into its stomach in three or two bites.

It's a little better.

She took a look.

He took out the remaining bun and broke it in half and put it on the ground.

Then he got up and left the place.

Ah Huang ate half of the bun into his stomach, but his eyes looked at the other party's disappearing back.

Sniffing.

Record each other's scent.

A week later, tonight, it smelled familiar again.

With a panicked look, he held his bag and looked behind him from time to time.

Ah Huang stepped up, but the other party didn't seem to notice her, and hurriedly turned a corner and rushed into the alley.

It looked in the direction the girl had just come.

In sight, I saw another human.

It immediately made an attacking gesture, a low growl coming out of its mouth.

But before he could roar, he was hit hard by a stone that suddenly flew out from behind him.

The pain was so intense that it screamed, and the instinct to be driven away by humans caused it to flee to the corner where it used to lie on its stomach.

As if it had been beaten before, it curled up in a ball, sticking out its tongue and licking the place it had just been smashed.

The night was dark.

Footsteps sounded, from far to near, Ah Huang stopped moving, and it seemed to sense that someone was standing in front of it.

The cloudy eyes looked overhead.

A human.

Hold aloft what you have in your hands.

smashed it down with all his might.

——————————————

Liu Changqing sent Zhou Shiyan home.

originally thought that the place where he lived was a relatively old place, but he didn't expect that after really seeing Zhou Shiyan's residence, he realized that the place where he lived now was already very luxurious.

A very small rental home.

The geographical location itself is more remote than the place where Liu Changqing lives now, and it seems that there are no people living nearby, only some elderly people still live in this place.

Roughly visually, there are only about 20 square meters.

There was an iron lampshade hanging from the top of the room, and there was a light bulb in the center of the lampshade, a bulb that emitted a dark yellow light, and when Zhou Shiyan opened the door and turned on the light, the lamp flashed two or three times before it was completely lit.

After completely illuminating the room, Liu Changqing looked around.

A table, two plastic benches, a bed, and a few miscellaneous things.

A piece was missing from the corner of the bed, but the sheets and the quilt on them were clean.

Zhou Shiyan is very polite.

She picked up the thermos from the ground, poured a cup into the cup, and after pouring it, put the thermos back in place, walked in front of Liu Changqing with the cup in both hands, and handed it over.

happened to be a little thirsty, Liu Changqing didn't politely take it and took a few sips.

It's a little hot.

handed it to the other party, Liu Changqing really couldn't drink such hot water.

"Where's your mother? Is this place for you to live in? ”

took the water cup handed over by Liu Changqing, Zhou Shiyan put it on the table next to her, and responded after hearing Liu Changqing's question.

"She's at work."

"Going to work?"

After Liu Changqing heard the other party's answer, he felt a little confused.

"Doesn't your family own a breakfast shop? Shouldn't the breakfast shop have closed long ago at this time? ”

“……”

Zhou Shiyan became silent.

It was a moment before she replied.

"She also works at the supermarket, from one o'clock in the afternoon to nine in the evening."

glanced at Liu Changqing.

"Our family needs money now."

Opening a breakfast shop is not an easy job in itself.

What's more, after the breakfast shop closes, you have to go to the supermarket to work from noon to nine o'clock in the evening.

I can't sleep long when I get home, so I have to get up and prepare for the morning I need to sell early, and from ten o'clock when I get home and wash up, even if I fall asleep immediately, I can only sleep for four or five hours.

Liu Changqing was a little unable to answer.

This is the other party's family matter, and he is not sorry to ask anything.

After successfully sending the other party home, Liu Changqing's task has been completed, and he feels that it is really not good for him to be alone in a room with a little girl.

And he spoke.

"Since I've sent you home, and it's not too early, I won't stay longer."

"Don't you drink saliva?"

Liu Changqing's eyes looked at the cup that he had just taken two sips.

Shook his head.

He didn't want to be burned to death.

"It's okay, I'm not very thirsty right now."

decisively rejected the other party.

As soon as Liu Changqing's words fell, Zhou Shiyan bowed deeply to him to express her gratitude.

"Uncle Liu, thank you so much for sending me home."

"It doesn't have to be like this...... It's not a lot of trouble. ”

The other party's actions were true, which made Liu Changqing a little embarrassed, this kid ...... It's too polite too.

Waving his hand, Liu Changqing finished speaking, and walked to the door.

"Then I'd better go back first, I wanted to say hello to your mother at first...... I have to say that the first time I ate your breakfast in the morning, I was hooked, and after eating your breakfast, how can other families eat it. ”

quipped, Liu Changqing's hand was on the doorknob.

Opened.

His eyes were looking at Zhou Shiyan, but he didn't look out the door.

It's just that I'm surprised why the other party's expression slowly became panicked.

Turning around, Liu Changqing saw a person holding a stick-like object high and knocking it down on his head.
