After Liu Xiyue finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh.

Gao Wutong smiled and smiled, less nervous.

"I'll see if there's anything wrong with my feet."

"What's there to see? It's just that the sandals are tattered. ”

Gao Wutong took off his right shoe and put it next to Liu Xiyue's feet.

"You wear my shoes to step on, and I'll accompany you to buy a pair nearby."

"You're not afraid of knocking on your right foot?"

"It's better than knocking you."

"I'm going to a far mall."

"It's okay."

"Don't regret it."

"Never."

Liu Xiyue put on Gao Wutong's leather shoes and threw the sandals into the trash.

"Let's go, I'll see if some people break their promises again."

Gao Wutong followed Liu Xiyue, and saw that although she was striding forward, the soles of her feet were flexible, and her hanging heart was relaxed, but she was worried that she was struggling again, completely forgetting that she was only wearing a sock on her right foot. When she arrived at the street garden, Liu Xiyue deliberately repeated the circle along the ring line, and Gao Wutong pretended not to notice it and followed silently.

After the third circle, Liu Xiyue stopped and looked at Gao Wutong.

"How many laps are they?"

"First lap."

"Say it again."

"I thought you liked the view."

"I can't walk."

"You go rest on that bench on the side of the road, and I'll buy it."

"If it doesn't fit, I'll throw it away."

"What color do you like?"

"What do you say?"

Liu Xiyue sat down on the bench and took her feet out of her leather shoes. Gao Wutong squatted down and touched it, tried to stand up and walked.

"Stop, put on your shoes."

Gao Wutong let out a soft "ah" when he put on his shoes, and then walked away as if nothing happened.

After more than thirty minutes, Gao Wutong came back and put a pair of sandals with orange uppers on white soles next to Liu Xiyue's feet. Liu Xiyue looked at the sandals.

"How much is a pair?"

"Put it on first."

Liu Xiyue took out an orange wallet from her small satchel and handed all the 100 yuan bills in it to Gao Wutong. Gao Wutong blocked it with his hand and didn't answer. Liu Xiyue glared at him angrily.

"You have a lot of money, don't you?"

"I don't have much money, I can't afford a villa, I can't be a general, but I can afford sandals."

"I hope it's not Shen Qiuyu's money."

"I'm from

Didn't take a penny from her. ”

"Just sleeping with her."

"Shut up!" Gao Wutong roared angrily, paused and said softly, "I've never touched her fingers." If you're going to marry someone else, there's no need to make a reason for it from me, I always respect your choice. ”

Liu Xiyue was silent, and put on the sandals, which fit very well and were slightly spacious. The shoe just now was tattered, although it was because of a broken foot, mainly because it was a little tight. The various shoes that Gao Wutong bought for her have always been more suitable than the ones she bought herself. This was the case when I was a kindergarten teacher, and it is still the case today. It was excusable at that time, because I was still a student. Why are you still like this now that you are a teacher?

The more Liu Xiyue thought about it, the more angry she hated herself, looked down at her sandals, and pouted silently.

"If it doesn't fit, I'll go get a new pair."

"It fits perfectly!"

"Why aren't you happy?"

"Because the shoes fit so well!"

Gao Wutong smiled habitually and looked at her quietly.

Liu Xiyue glanced at Gao Wutong, and suddenly remembered the situation when he was wearing shoes.

&nbs--

p;???“ Take that shoe off and I'll look at your feet. ”

"Don't look at it, it's nothing."

"Hurry up."

Gao Wutong took off his right leather shoe, and the socks on his big toe were stained with blood.

"Maybe I touched it somewhere, and the skin broke a little bit, it doesn't matter."

"I don't deserve you like this, you'll regret it."

Gao Wutong's eyes instantly moistened, and he turned his head to wipe his tears.

"I know if it's worth it. My own choice, I don't regret it. ”

"I'm already tearing down tears with regret."

"It's because of foot pain."

"Then take the money and go buy some medicine to rub."

"It's not worth that much."

"Not really, don't you? Well, that's good! ”

"Yes, thank you."

"You dare to say the word 'thank you' again."

"It's still you who are the most considerate of me, sending charcoal in the snow, just to fill the hole in the black wood."

"Kuroki, which little lover's nickname is it?"

"I only have one lover, and that is Yue'er. In this life, I only love her. ”

Liu Xiyue snorted, pursed her lips and glanced at Gao Wutong.

"Yue'er, Kuroki is not a human, he is an injured wolf dog."

"What holes to fill? It competes with you for dog food. ”

After Liu Xiyue finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile

。

Gao Wutong was overjoyed and told her about Kuroki.

On the afternoon of the second day after arriving at Qianhe in mid-July, Gao Wutong waited left and right at the hostel to see Liu Xiyue go to the Children's Palace to attend classes, so he went to the street to wander around.

People come and go, Gao Wutong doesn't know anyone, looking into the distance, the loneliness of "being a stranger in a foreign land" arises spontaneously, and I can't help but feel depressed and sad. After walking for a while, he thought that Liu Xiyue was somewhere here, and he quickly rejoiced.

Passing by a garbage room, a black thing moved.

Gao Wutong stopped to look, it turned out to be an all-black wolf dog, lying in the garbage heap, with two front legs supporting the head and front half of the body, moaning and slowly moving and planing, the back half of the body drooped, and the two hind legs dragged on the ground, like two dead trees that did not respond. Gao Wutong felt compassion, and when he looked closely, there seemed to be a clotted blood clot near the tail vertebrae of the wolf dog.

The wolf dog turned his head to look at Gao Wutong, and his painful eyes flashed with a cold light of vigilance.

Gao Wutong smiled gently, handed the two fried chicken legs he had just bought to the wolfdog's mouth, and then placed them next to the wolfdog's legs with a paper bag. The wolfdog pulled out the chicken leg and tore it up. After eating, he licked his tongue, his eyes were much kinder, and he looked at the mineral water bottle in Gao Wutong's hand longingly. Gao Wutong found a slightly cleaner broken porcelain bowl, poured some water into it, and put it in front of the wolfdog. The wolfhound quickly licked it all away.

Gao Wutong poured all the remaining water into the bowl, and soon it was licked to a small layer. Gao Wutong tried to touch the wolfdog's head, and the wolfdog's eyes flashed, as if he could speak. Gao Wutong stared at it, and it also stared at Gao Wutong, and a few tears overflowed from its eyes. Gao Wutong's heart moved, and he remembered the eyes and tears of the old buffalo at home more than ten years ago.

During the winter vacation of the second year of high school, a buffalo in the family was too old to walk.

The cattle dealers went to the village to buy them, saying that while the old buffalo could still move around, selling them would not only make some money, but also save them the trouble of carrying and burying them in the future. On the day when the cattle dealer came to fetch the cow, Gao Wutong was working in the roadside field outside the village, and when he saw the old buffalo coming out of the village, he went to the roadside and waited for the last look. He herded the old buffalo for five or six years and rode it countless times.

The old buffalo staggered to Gao Wutong, and Gao Wutong couldn't help but touch the back of the old buffalo's head and horns. The old buffalo recognized Gao Wutong and pulled the rope to stop, his eyes full of tears and affection. Gao Wutong couldn't bear to look at it anymore, his eyes were moist and he returned to the field to continue working, glancing at the figure from time to time.

The old buffalo slowly disappeared into the distance at the foot of the mountain.

Gao Wutong's heart suddenly emptied, and he felt that he had lost something forever.
