Chapter Twenty-Six: The New Man Wins the Old Dog
Li Xianyu's first reaction was not to turn back, he jumped a deer at the fastest speed in his life, jumped behind his grandmother to seek refuge, thought about it, and felt that it was not safe, so he jumped behind Sanwu.
Then he returned, and saw where he had been, a young man covered in blood, his throat had been cut, and his chest was red with thick blood.
"Phew!"
Li Xianyu gasped.
So, grandma was talking to him just now?
"Can you see me?" the young man wiped his blood and looked at a man and a woman.
Li Xianyu was also looking at him, and noticed that this guy did not have cataracts, except for his bloodless pale face, his eyes were no different from ordinary people.
quietly stabbed Sanwu's waist and signaled her to hurry up to get rid of the demon guard, but Sanwu didn't move, maintaining a cute and quiet posture.
Grandma explained, "He's not a wraith. ”
Li Xianyu pointed at him: "It's all like this, it's not a resentful spirit." ”
Grandma hated iron and said: "The spirit body dies and does not disperse, it is all because of obsession, and there are many kinds of obsessions, not only resentment." ”
The young man looked around at himself and said, "Although I died not very gracefully, I have no resentment in my heart. ”
Li Xianyu's heart was settled, he coughed, and said: "Brother Tai, under Li Xianyu, he is a maintainer of order, specializing in cleaning up the ghosts and ghosts that linger in the world. ”
The young man was silent for a moment: "We are all modern people, speak well." ”
Li Xianyu: "Oh. ”
The young man said: "My name is Zhang Chen, in fact, I have been with you for a long time, and I have noticed you since you stepped into the door of that family." ”
Li Xianyu exclaimed: "The boss of S County was entangled by you?"
Zhang Chen nodded.
When my grandmother heard this, she suddenly said, "No wonder I can't smell resentment, it turns out that it is not a resentful spirit, in this case, why are you pestering others." ”
Li Xianyu echoed: "Why?"
"The cream's leg was broken by the shopkeeper in S County," Zhang Chen's eyes fell on Satsuma: "It's my dog, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, right?" He abused my dog, and I pestered him for a while, making him weak and riddled with nightmares, so naturally I would let him go. ”
Li Xianyu suddenly realized, all the problems have been solved, no wonder the shopkeeper dreamed of a man, no wonder he wanted to break his leg, this is the owner came back to avenge the dog.
"I should have done it a long time ago, but some time ago his mother was the first seven souls, and I was not allowed to go near his son. The buddy said: "Even if you die with resentment, you will always think about your son, this is maternal love." ”
"You're not bad, you don't forget to avenge your dog when you're dead. Li Xian Yuxin said, what kind of thing is this, people and dogs are not in love?
Zhang Chen said quietly: "It's called cream, in fact, when I saw it for the first time, it was abandoned. ”
The first time I saw the cream was under the bridge outside the community, and when Zhang Chen passed by the bottom of the bridge, he ran into the cream who had just been born at the time.
Zhang Chen is a native of Zibo, studied at East China Normal University, and stayed in Shanghai after graduation like most of his classmates. Shanghai is a city with a large wage gap, and the bottom salary is even less than 3,000 a month, and the high salary can reach ...... I don't know about this, after all, they are all poor people, and their imagination is not so rich.
In short, in the first-tier cities where there are as many college students as dogs, it is difficult for you to find a decent job just after graduation, the rent is expensive, the price is expensive, and the thrifty work is not as good as the mud legs in your hometown. So it didn't take long for his girlfriend who had entered the society to announce that she had broken up with him.
This person is lonely, and he can't find a girlfriend, so he can only raise a dog to entertain loneliness, don't get me wrong, it's spiritual comfort, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the body.
It was raining that day, Zhang Chen, who did not bring an umbrella, took a shortcut to pass by the bottom of the bridge outside the community, and he saw a muddy little milk dog, lonely at the bottom of the bridge, facing the sudden uninvited guest, with scared and vigilant eyes.
It has a pair of dark pupils, and when it looks at you, it always makes people feel like they are pleading and flattering. But it is extremely wary of humans, and does not dare to approach Zhang Chen at all, Zhang Chen also feels that the little milk dog is dirty, one person and one dog silently wait until the rain stops, Zhang Chen bought it a hot dog and left.
Passing by the bottom of the bridge the next day, Zhang Chen found that the little milk dog was still there, and seemed to regard this place as his home. On that day, Zhang Chen gave it another hot dog, and then left, and after nearly a week, Zhang Chen's few kindnesses were exhausted, and he didn't go again.
A few days later, in the same light rain, he ran to the bottom of the bridge on a whim to take a look, and was stunned to find that the little milk dog was still in place.
It gets thinner and dirtier. The physical condition was very bad, curled up listlessly, hearing the movement, the ears trembled vigilantly, but when he saw Zhang Chen, he looked extremely excited, staggered and ran a few steps, and let out a thin whimper at him.
Zhang Chen is very familiar with this kind of look, the dog waits for the owner's eyes, and he has a dog in his hometown.
"It stayed at the bottom of the bridge for days, I guess it was waiting for me, this stupid dog took me as its master, I just fed it for a few days, and it depended on me. Zhang Chen smiled bitterly and sighed: "If I hadn't gone back at the beginning, would it have to die there?"
"What happened later?" Li Xianyu took the spicy strips handed by his grandmother, he stood in the middle, his grandmother was on the left, and Sanwu was on the right, they were eating spicy strips, listening to Zhang Chen's memories.
Zhang Chen turned his head away, didn't look at them, and continued: "I took it home, at first I didn't want to raise a dog, at that time I bought it a hot dog, turned around and left, but the little guy didn't eat anything, and even the rolling belt crawled to keep up with me, I kicked it a few times, and I had to follow ...... Seeing that it was pitiful, he took it home. ”
"Later, I found out that raising a dog is actually quite good, at least after work, you open the door, the house is not empty, there is such a dog will guard the door and wait for you to come back, the moment you open the door, it will wag its tail and pick your pants. When you go out for dinner, you don't have to rely on games to pass the time, you can take it out for a walk, and the family is finally a little more angry. ”
Wandering in a big city, helpless, two single dogs keep each other warm. The dog has a life, and the man has a companion.
Dogs treat people as their owners, and people may also treat dogs as family members for a moment.
Li Xianyu chewed the mutton and listened with relish: "But you still abandoned it, why." ”
Zhang Chen was silent for a long time, squeezing out a bitter smile, "Because of my girlfriend, I later made a girlfriend, and it was not local, I had a hard time chasing her, after dating, she moved in with me at my suggestion, saving a lot of rent, but she also had a dog and a Sun Honglei." ”
Li Xianyu exclaimed: "Sun Honglei?!Are you sure?" ”
“..... It's a bull terrier. Zhang Chen said: "The two of them always fight, the cream is bullied every day, and my girlfriend doesn't like it either, thinking that having a dog at home is enough, suggesting that I throw it away." Naturally, I didn't agree, and we quarreled a lot about it, until one day, when I came home from work, my girlfriend's newly bought bag was bitten and broken......"
"And you threw it away?"
"Well," Zhang Chen nodded: "I didn't have a choice, we had a fierce quarrel that day, and she even said that she would break up, and if she didn't lose the dog, we would end it." Choosing between a girlfriend and a dog, how do you choose?"
"Wait a minute," Grandma interrupted suddenly, indignant, "what an unseemly woman who disobeys her husband and even threatens her for such a trivial matter." Such a woman, in my time, would have to leave the court. You are a dignified seven-foot man who is so afraid of guilt, he has no manliness in his body, his manners are broken, and his morals are corrupt. ”
Li Xianyu was moved to tears: "Grandma, the times are different, and now is the era when women are the masters of the house." Haven't you slept for more than a hundred years and still can't see the world clearly?"
Grandma retorted: "Nonsense, even in the years I followed your father, I have never seen such a." ”
The 20 years of China's take-off are also the 20 years in which men's status has plummeted.
Li Xianyu sighed: "No way, you must know that in the land of China, there are still more than 30 million single dogs who have enough food and clothing by themselves." ”
Sit with your hands and sigh, afraid that the house price is unattainable.
"After dinner that day, I took it for a long, long walk, and right here I tucked it under this tree. I don't feel like I owe it anything, it's just that when our fate is over, it's no longer the little milk dog it used to be, it can live without me, and I should go my own way. Just treat each other as passers-by in life, and when the fate is over, let's go our separate ways. ”
This is excessive, although Li Xianyu is not a dog lover, he especially hates those who abandon pet dogs indiscriminately.
"When I was lonely, I called people Xiao Tiantian, and then the new person beat the old dog, so I said that the fate was over. Oh, man. Li Xianyu complained, remembering that the other party was a ghost anyway, and he shouldn't be so skinny, so he hurriedly corrected his attitude: "You continue." ”
