Xiuxiu's mother kept holding Xiuxiu's hand tightly, and then looked at Qi Yu and them vigilantly.

"How did I not know you knew a dog?" Xiuxiu's mother looked at Qi Yu and them for a while, then lowered her head and asked Xiuxiu.

"Oh Mom, you don't go out every day, I run outside every day, there are so many things you don't know." Xiuxiu replied nonchalantly.

"Xiuxiu!" Xiuxiu's mother was a little angry: "In the future, you should have asked for my consent first." What you make your own decisions today is not allowed to happen in the future. ”

Xiuxiu turned her head helplessly and secretly rolled her eyes, obviously a child but showed an adult-like helpless expression.

"I met Rhubarb on the way out of school, and that day I was bullied by a couple of bear kids, and Rhubarb jumped out to help me scare them away." Xiuxiu didn't want to pay attention to her mother, so she shook off her mother's hand, ran to Lee Gyu-gyu's side, and whispered to her: "Such a big dog, it scared me out, but I didn't expect it to ignore me after scaring the bad boy away, and he was about to leave with his tail flicking." Then I went to it with some food, but it ate my food, but it wouldn't come home with me, and it never paid attention to me when I called it rhubarb. ”

"Because it has a little master, it's waiting for the master to take it home." Lee Gyu-gyu rubbed Xiuxiu's little yellow hair, which was not supple at all and a little prickly.

"Oh......" Xiuxiu sighed a little disappointed, and then regrouped and continued to show off her relationship with Archie to Lee Gyu-gyu: "Although it doesn't go home with me, after we get acquainted, it will accompany me every day after school, and no bear child dares to bully me anymore." Because you're good to it, it's going to protect you. ”

"That's right, I keep my ham sausage for it every day." Xiuxiu secretly glanced at her mother, and then smiled at Lee Gyu-gyu: "My mother doesn't know." ”

"You're such a kind child." Lee Gyu-gyu looked at Xiu-so's cute little expression and really wanted to pinch her little face, but Su-so was much more mature than ordinary, and Lee Gyu-gyu still didn't want to make her angry.

"I'm not a good child." Xiuxiu shook her head disapprovingly: "I'm a powerful child, no one wants to bully me, and don't want to bully my mother." ”

Lee Gyu-gyu looked at so-so and remembered a little bit of what he looked like when he was young, when his mother hadn't remarried and hid at home every day and didn't dare to go out. At that time, she was also standing at the door and quarreling with the bear children who laughed at her mother, and even fought with those bear children when she was the worst.

"I want to bring Rhubarb home, it's too pitiful to wander outside alone, and it will be bullied by bad people." Xiuxiu took a deep breath: "But Rhubarb doesn't want to, it just gathers around there and refuses to go with me." You say that the father of its little owner lost it, so why didn't its little owner come to it earlier? ”

"Because...... Many reasons. Lee Gyu-gyu didn't want to say it in such detail, but looking at Xiuxiu's eyes that were different from ordinary children, he explained the ins and outs of this matter clearly. Including Qiu Qiu was seriously ill, his father abandoned Qiu Qiu and his mother, took Archie and sold it irresponsibly to the slaughterhouse.

"What about you? Why did you help that kid find Archie? Did any agreements be made? Xiuxiu took Lee Gyu-gyu's hand and walked in front, looking at the back of jumping and jumping like an innocent and cute child, but what she said to Lee Gyu-gyu was not like an ordinary child.

"No, we just want to help him, there is no agreement." Lee Gyu-gyu shook his head: "Because he is a kind person." ”

"Then he's so happy." Xiuxiu frowned and bit her lip to stop talking.

They walked around a nearby path for about twenty minutes, and Lee Gyu-gyu felt familiar with the scene in front of her, the one she saw on the monitor.

"Go that way." Xiuxiu pointed to the direction of a fork in the road and asked everyone to continue walking that way: "Rhubarb usually hides in front of that, you don't want so many people to go over, scare it, it won't come out." ”

"Then Qi Yu, let's just go over." Lee Gyu-gyu turned his head to take the camera from Assistant Kim's hand and said to Qi Yu.

"Mom, don't go, aren't you afraid of dogs." Xiuxiu shook her hand at her mother.

"No, I can't leave you alone." Xiuxiu's mother must follow.

"I walk this road alone every day to and from school, so I don't have to worry about me." Xiuxiu shook her head, and pushed away Xiuxiu's mother, who was about to follow: "There are other wild dogs there besides rhubarb, and they are also very dirty, you must not be able to stand it." ”

Xiuxiu was only in her early tens, but Xiuxiu's mother was entangled and listened to her daughter's words, and stood in place and watched Xiuxiu take Qi Yu and Lee Gyu-gyu inside.

Xiuxiu led them through an old playground nearby, and came to an abandoned piece of construction debris: "This is it, but if Rhubarb refuses to come out, I don't know." ”

"Archie, Archie......" Lee Gyu-gyu thought for a moment, cleared his throat and shouted Archie's name.

Qi Yu didn't move, but turned his head to look at Xiuxiu: "Your name is Xiuxiu, right?" ”

"yes, big brother." Xiuxiu paused for a moment, revealing an innocent smile.

"We're not bad guys, this is a picture of him and Archie that I just asked Qiu Qiu for coming." Qi Yu handed the phone to Xiuxiu, and there were several photos on the phone, all of which were Qiu Qiu and Archie's growth experience. has grown from the size of a small ball to Archie, who is about the same height as Qiu Qiu, and Qiu Qiu, who has been smiling and cheerful.

"This ...... It's rhubarb. The little hair behind its ears is always fried. Xiuxiu looked at the photo and muttered to herself.

"So, take us to Archie." Qi Yu interrupted Xiuxiu's words to refute, and pointed to the nearby monitor: "There are monitors here, but we have searched all the nearby monitors, and we have only seen Archie passing by on the previous road." So, this is definitely not going to be the place where Archie stays, or even that it doesn't come here at all. ”

Lee Gyu-gyu was stunned and looked at Xiu-so in some surprise.

Xiuxiu gritted her teeth: "I...... I don't want you to take Archie away, it's my friend. ”

"It's not just your friend, it's Qiu Qiu's family." Qi Yu sighed, squatted down and looked directly into Xiuxiu's eyes: "Xiuxiu, Archie refuses to go home with you, also because it still wants to find its family." If you get separated from your mother, won't you miss her? ”

"I ......" Xiuxiu pursed her lips, and her two small hands clenched tightly.

"What's more, it's not like I won't let you see Archie again in the future. Archie has found family, but can still have friends. Lee Gyu-gyu also squatted down and softly comforted Xiuxiu: "Look, you also started calling its name, didn't you?" ”

"I can take you there, but I don't know if Archie will come out to meet you. It's a little scared of adults. Xiuxiu sighed and nodded.
