Chapter 21: Jade
Especially when I walk and stumble, I love to drool, and I can smell the sour smell that doesn't smell good from a long distance.
At first, I refused, I couldn't take care of myself anymore, did I have to raise a dog for him?
However, every night when I came home, I could see it with its head snuggled against the wall, in a daze. Don't scream, don't pay attention to people, Mu Mu is stupid. The appearance makes people feel pitiful and sad, and I can't see this kind of pitiful thing the most. So I can't help but take care of it every day.
Every morning when I go out, it becomes different, and the spirit can be said to be very vibrant, but its focus is not on me, but on the "garbage bag" in my hand.
Every morning early in the morning, it was lying there waiting for me to appear, and when it saw me throwing out the garbage, it would look left and right in the direction I was walking to see if I would turn it back, in fact, it would not know that I was actually carrying garbage in a plastic bag every day, but food specially made for it.
Standing around the corner, I saw it running happily to eat food and wrap its belly, and after eating, it dripping mucus all the way back.
The root of the wall is its nest, which can neither keep the sun nor the rain out. Like a wounded little beast, it retracted into its corner, noble and pitiful.
Whenever this happens, I can't help but compare myself to it. At least there are people who pity it and pretend to throw "garbage" at it, and I, no one will pity me.
Today, I got up very early as usual, made a few simple oil cakes for him, and put them in a black plastic bag, and he was waiting there early, animals are animals, and he didn't even think about how people could actually throw out garbage three times a day.
Today, however, instead of putting the food on the ground and walking away, as usual, I walked in front of it and crouched down to examine it carefully. At first, it squeezed itself into the corner, panting for air, not daring to look up at me.
I guess it's probably the same as people, and doesn't like people to stop and look at it like a joke, like me. Now, I've basically figured out some of the issues that I have to admit. The money that Daddy gave me was not the money used by people, because they almost always used the kind of money that was printed with the "Grandpa Mao" pattern that the little girl told me, and they said that this was their common coin.
And my money is nothing more than a piece of waste paper. People always have to get used to those habits that they are not used to, and I didn't tear up or throw away the money that Daddy gave me, but I changed my upper and lower purses with the "Grandpa Mao" pattern.
I broke the pancake in my hand in half and handed it to its mouth one by one. I don't know why, but later, when I gave it anything, it didn't eat anything, so I just ate oil cakes.
But it's different from a dog in the traditional sense, I'm so nice to him, he never wags his tail at me, he always keeps a proper distance from me, and when I get close, he shrinks into the corner.
In that way, it doesn't seem like it's scared, it's not like it's defensive, how to put it, it's like the estrangement between men and women, but maybe I think too much and don't necessarily say it......
I came home after a tiring day, and in that day, I worked four more part-time jobs.
In the middle of the night, I was awakened by the sound of thunder, and not long after, the wind and rain poured down, and the raindrops hit the window, and I immediately thought of the big poodle in the corner.
I got dressed, opened the window and stuck my head out to call it, but there was no response. There was a black hole outside the window, and I couldn't see where it was.
I took out a flashlight from the drawer, took an umbrella out of the door, and swept it around with the flashlight, but it didn't go anywhere, it was still in the corner, wet and curled up in a ball.
I crouched down and put the umbrella over my slightly trembling body, as if asleep, and it didn't even lift its eyelids......
I propped the umbrella over its head, flicked my sleeves, covered my head, and ran back, the rain drenching my whole body and biting cold. When I was about to enter the door, I turned around and it followed, and as soon as I turned around, it quickly crouched down on the muddy ground again.
Stupid and cute, funny to death. I suddenly couldn't help but say to it, "Do you want to go in with me?" ”
It just stared at me with hope in its eyes, but for some reason, it turned and ran back to the corner. No matter how much I waved at it, it curled up under the umbrella, and Mu Mu stared blankly.
Many times before I actually wanted to get it in, but it didn't cooperate. I'm afraid of messing with it, what if it bites me......
Before I went out the next day, I touched its head casually and could feel it shake, but it didn't look up and continued to eat the oil cake in my hand.
One thing that was strange to me was that it almost never licked my hand with its tongue when it ate the oil cake on the palm of my hand.
Just as he was thinking, it suddenly ran away. Screaming loudly and running at a fast speed, I ran far behind him, as if it was going to chase someone.
It was the man it was chasing, and before it could get closer, it was kicked by the man. Because it's far away, I don't really know if it's a man or a woman.
It rolled over and got up again, and continued to rush up. One after another, one higher than the other, one more urgent than the other. A crowd surrounded it, and whatever was in their hands, they beckoned to it.
Again and again, on its back, on its head, on its neck socket, and then on its limbs...... It shrank back, its head as low as it could, and its eyes could not help but follow the man who was gone.
When I arrived, it was lying on its side in the middle of the road in that position, and I seemed to see a hint of despair that only human beings have. It's quiet, it's quiet, my eyes are wide open.
Tears kept coming out of my eyes like a flood bursting a levee, my throat choked, and I held my breath in my chest like that, exerting all my strength to push away those who were wielding sticks, branches, and stones one by one.
"Why are you beating my dog? Is it getting in your way, and you're going to hit it? People have human lives, dogs have dog lives, can you be human beings? ”
It seemed to realize something, its head hanging on the ground seemed to want to be raised, its neck was desperately squeezing to look at me, and its whole body was trying to stand up.
One of them ran out with his toes high and stretched out his hand and pointed at my nose: "Little girl, can you speak?" A dog has the life of a dog, but a beast is a beast! If a dog bites someone, you will be responsible to the end! ”
"It just barked, but did it bite you? Even if it bites you, it's your bad character! ”
I replied angrily. The situation froze all at once. The man actually directly picked up the stick on the ground, and swung it at its body with great ferocity, and the stick was broken in two on the spot!
Suddenly it sneezed, and blood splattered on my trouser legs and shoes.
On this day, I didn't work part-time.
I didn't bother to reason with them, so I carefully picked it up and ran all the way to a pet store to check it, almost half of the part-time money I earned in ten days.
It wouldn't come into my house, so I simply built a small wooden house in the corner of the wall where it was. I still feed it oil cakes with my hands, and it always crawls out and buries its head, eats slowly, chews slowly, and its tongue still never touches my palm, and not a drop of saliva drops on my hands.
I squatted at it for a long time, and it was nothing abnormal, but I whimpered and cried.
Because it was kicked and broke a leg that day, and it is still not well.
So when it walks, it walks on its side, and even when it eats, it is sideways.
I don't know when it started, but every morning it woke up earlier than me, and as soon as I opened the window, I could see it standing upright next to the cabin I had built for it, facing in my direction, tilting its head slightly.
For several days.
I don't understand why. There were a few times when I woke up early, but when it was time to go to work, I didn't open the window, so I secretly hid in the window with my head down, looking at it downstairs. It actually looked like an ant on a hot pot, constantly spinning in circles, and looking at my window from time to time.
I was instantly moved, and when I opened the window and waved at it, it just froze in place, probably my delusion, I seemed to feel that it was smiling at me.
I gave it a name, originally I wanted to call it Ruhua, but it felt so vulgar, so I named it Ruyu......
Today is the end of the month, and I have been waiting for a long time. Fortunately, it has been with me for the past 28 days.
I took out the token that the old boatman had given me in Sanyo Town out of the cabinet, locked the door of the house and packed up my things, and I went to the small wooden house like jade to find that it was not there, at first glance, it was sitting at the mouth of the alley a hundred steps away from the small wooden house, as if waiting for someone.
"Comrade Ruyu, who are you waiting for?"
When it heard my voice, it immediately turned its head, looked up at me, and circled around me.
The meaning is self-explanatory, and I am ...... flattered!
I tentatively went out of the alley, and Jade followed me step by step, I stopped, I walked.
I don't know why, but when I got to the back, it began to trot all the way forward, and I followed it closely, but I couldn't keep up with it, as if it had eyes on the back of its head, and immediately turned back and waited for me.
"What are you running about? Your master and I have important things to do today. "Its body is really huge, and if it screams at others like last time, I'm afraid that it will be surrounded and beaten like last time, so I can only follow it closely. In this way, won't it delay me from going to find a foreign street?
It lowered its head, swayed around and grabbed a stone with its mouth, and what it did in the next second made me dumbfounded!
