Pippi, I don't have long to live, I'm tired enough in this life, I just want to be here, this is my home, I don't want to leave.

This is a sentence that Lao Xu Tou said to Pippi three days before he fell ill, it was an afternoon, Lao Xu Tou sat in front of the door, looking at the cars on the street not far away, the sun shining on his body, warm.

Next to him is a small table, on which is placed a large enamel tea pot, which looks old, the surface of the lacquer is falling off piece by piece, the texture is like dry earth, and it is vaguely visible that there is a mark engraved on it of the Chinese railway, and below is a big word "award".

It was such an afternoon, outside a dilapidated bungalow in the remote Daowai District, an old man with a pot of tea, an old chair and a dog, outlining a comfortable picture rarely seen in this big city.

Pippi lay at the feet of the master, it was also as old as the master, not long after the rain, it was rare that the afternoon was not very hot, he lay next to the old Xu Tou, listening to the old Xu Tou tell the stories that he had heard many times, and then when the old Xu Tou finished saying that, it raised its head and looked at him, did not understand what it meant.

It was a few months ago, spring.

Just like the weather when Lao Xu Tou first saw Pippi, the dog's surname is very good, God is always fair, their life is very short, so what they meet in their life, what happens, will not be forgotten, unlike human beings, often when they are old, they want to think about the nostalgia of the past, but find that some things can not be remembered at all.

Forgetting is a kind of sadness, remembering is also a kind of sadness, so life in the world is always inseparable from sadness, this point of view, maybe people are really not as good as dogs, at least when dogs are old, think of their own life, there will be no regrets, their lives are too short, just ten years, there is no time to regret.

However, dogs are the same as people, when they are older, they will also recall the past from time to time, and live by those memories.

Pippi remembers that he also met Lao Xu Tou in the spring, and at that time, Lao Xu Tou was still called Lao Xu by others, and there was no 'head'.

Shortly after Pipsqueak was born, he was taken away with his five brothers before he had been milked for a few days, and it seemed that the family was not in good condition and could not afford to feed five or six dogs together, Pipsqueak thought.

Later, they were put in a basket and sold on a crowded flyover, and it was then that Pipsqueak first became aware of the outside world, and many strangely dressed people walked and stopped in front of them, and from time to time a few pairs of large hands would grab it, and the unfamiliar faces would look at it and then put it down, and it would tremble and be afraid.

The five of their brothers only have one bowl of gruel a day, and every day at noon, the master will put the gruel in the basket, and several of them will rush to it.

But after a few days, he was able to eat enough, because there were fewer and fewer brothers around, and they were all bought by others, or some adults with small children in their arms, or some couples holding hands, until at last he was the only one left in the whole basket.

He was so thin and weak that he didn't have much white hair that didn't cover his pink skin, and he was so ugly that no one wanted to spend money on a dog that couldn't be kept alive at all.

It felt cold without its brothers, and that was the first time it felt cold, and along with it was a very uncomfortable taste, and after a few years Pipsqueak grew up and learned that this feeling was called 'loneliness'.

In the end, even the owner was disheartened by him, after all, it was not worth wasting time for a dog that could not be sold, Pipsqueak thought, it was an evening when it was about to rain, and the owner did not take him home, but dumped him directly next to a garbage can on the way home.

Later, it rained, the wind was very strong, and it was very painful to blow on the body, Pipsqueak felt extremely frightened, the rain was very heavy, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and even if there were, they all ran in a hurry to avoid the rain, Pipsqueak couldn't make a normal cry at that time, its strength was pitiful, and it could only make a squeak like a mouse.

He was desperate and anxious, he felt so cold, and finally he couldn't stand steadily, so he lay down in the puddle, only to feel the heat on his body gradually pass away, no one would care about it, maybe it was a mistake to come to this world.

At this moment, the old man appeared, carrying a basket of vegetables, and it seemed that he had just bought the vegetables when he encountered a heavy rain, so he also ran in the rain, but when he passed by the garbage can, he stopped, because he saw Pippi dying in the puddle.

Lao Xu was very kind-hearted, and without saying a word, he put Pippi down in the vegetable basket, then covered it with his hand to cover the rain, and ran home.

That was the first time Pipsqueak had been here, and Pipsqueak looked up at his master at the thought of this, his hair was not so gray and his wrinkles were not so much.

At that time, Pippi itself was very weak, and it was raining, and he couldn't eat, so Lao Xu specially bought milk, and then poured it in a small spoon, and fed it little by little.

At first, it didn't understand anything, and it didn't know what Lao Xu was talking about, but it knew that there was only Lao Xu in this house, and occasionally some unfamiliar faces would come, about once a year, their time here was always very short, basically no more than the time for a pot of water to boil, and sometimes they would make a big noise to Lao Xu, Lao Xu didn't squeak, but after they left, he would be in a daze, and sometimes some water would come out of his eyes, and then Pippi knew that it was called tears.

Later, when Pippi was about five years old, he began to understand Lao Xu's words, Lao Xu lived alone, liked Peking Opera, preferred to watch the two of them, sat on the sofa and watched it for a long time, sometimes he would listen to it happily and hum a few words along with the TV, those tunes listened to Pippi Yaya, very comfortable, he also liked it.

Whenever the weather is good, Lao Xu will sit at the door with a broken chair, hold a pot of crumbs and quietly look at the pedestrians on the street in the distance, his eyes are getting more and more cloudy, every time at this time, Pipsqueak will lie at his feet, listen to him tell the story of the railroad when he was young, although Pippi has never seen a railway, and he doesn't even know what a railway is.

But Pipsqueak will listen quietly, and those stories will sometimes be mixed into his memories in his dreams, you ask me if the dog dreams? Well, that's not important.

Pippi likes Lao Xu very much, maybe because of the dog's life, it is all that can find a good owner, Pippi thought.

Later, after a few years, Pippi got taller and taller, and Lao Xu became shorter and shorter, and his name changed from Lao Xu to Lao Xu.

Old Xu Tou is indeed old, his ears are not very smart, sometimes Pippi's cries are inaudible, and those who come occasionally come are coming less and less, just like the number of times Lao Xu Tou watched the two turn, Pippi now knows, it turns out that those people are all old Xu Tou's children, and the original people's surnames will really slowly weaken, he forgot.

But he spent more and more time sitting outside, and sometimes from morning he would sit there for a day, even forgetting to eat, and Pipsqueak would stay with him with hunger, and he would not move.

Old Xutou's eyes are getting more and more cloudy, that kind of look Pippi has seen before, and when it was still in the basket before, it used to have this kind of look, that kind of eyes called loneliness.

Fortunately, he still chatters to Pippi, and even though he has heard his old stories a hundred times and thousands of times, he still listens to them with relish every time.

Until one day, Lao Xu Tou began to cough, every day he got up very late, his face was very laborious to walk, and every day he sighed here to increase, these Pipi have been looking at the eyes, at this time it is also as old as Lao Xu Tou, it understands what Lao Xu Tou is thinking in his heart, when people are old, they often will be extremely eager for family affection.

Sometimes he wants to comfort his master, in fact, he has long regarded Lao Xu Tou as his father, and it wants to say to Lao Xu Tou, it's okay, it's okay, I'm here with you.

But no matter how much he tried to imitate this sentence, he just couldn't say it.

Old Xu Tou'er's health is getting worse and worse, and finally one day, he can't hold on, lying in bed and can't get up, Pippi knows that he is sick, and a sense of fear appears in its mind again, so it drags the old body crazy and runs out, it and he need help, and the only thing that can help Lao Xu Tou is the director of the street office nearby, this woman is very good, often comes to Lao Xu Tou's house to see him, and brings him food, which is many times stronger than Lao Xu Tou's children.

Fortunately, once Lao Xu Tou took it to the street office, so it came there with a memory that would not disappear, scratching the door frantically, the door opened, the female director recognized it, it called at her anxiously, tore the corners of her clothes, and led her to the house.

Old Xu Tou was indeed very sick and needed to be hospitalized, although Pippi didn't know where he was hospitalized.

After the female director made a phone call, not long after, a car was parked outside the door, the car was very noisy, the shock of Pippi's ears hurt, from the car came down some people in white clothes, they didn't say anything after entering the door, the eyes were indifferent to put the old Xu head on the stretcher, and then pulled to the car, the old Xu head on the stretcher was still sane at this time, he was lying down and said to Pippi when he went out, you take care of the house, wait for me to come back.

Pipsqueak screamed in response, but until now it hadn't waited for the old man to return.

All he was waiting for were the sons and daughters of Old Xutou, who quarreled and slandered each other in this house, and finally took everything out of the house, and Pipsqueak, who was old, or even if he was young, could not stop them.

The house was empty, but it was not taken away, only Pippi, who was driven out, but it did not go, but lay on the side of the road every day, waiting for the old Xu Tou to come back, and said again and again.

It was a long, long time, and it was getting older, but the master still didn't come back, but it didn't give up, it knew that what it promised its master, it would definitely do, and the master told it that he would come back, and he would definitely come back.

Later, the neighbors moved away one by one, and the huge place became lifeless, and someone came, and removed the doors and windows of all the houses in the neighborhood, and Pipsqueak returned to his home, feeling lonely again every night.

One day, he suddenly heard passers-by chatting that the neighborhood was about to be demolished! It suddenly felt terrible! You know, this is its home, and it is Lao Xutou's favorite place!

If this place is demolished, what if Lao Xu Tou'er can't find it when he comes back?

No, it had promised its owner that it would take good care of the house and wait for him to come back! No matter how long, no matter what the situation! But now that the home is gone, what's the point of waiting?

It suddenly felt very powerless, it was too small, in front of those humans, it was just a dog, but things were really ironic, it turned out that some people today were not as good as a dog.

Often they live too complicated lives and forget the most basic things, loyalty and faith.

Pipsqueak didn't think so much, it just wanted to keep its home, it felt that as long as the home was still there, Old Xu Tou would definitely come back, even if it wanted to die, it was willing!

Just then, Fifteen appeared.

It was a dark night, Pipsqueak sat in front of the door, fifteen appeared quietly, because of the species, Pipsqueak can see the monster, it is old, it can't be called, just a little confused to look at fifteen.

Fifteen took out a stone and said to Pipsqueak, "Eat this stone, and you will have the strength to stop this."

Pippi said: What is this?

Fifteen said: This is a seed, it can give you strength, but it costs your life, when this seed is ripe, I will come back and take it, and then you will die, are you willing?

Pippi naturally willing, because while commitment and loyalty may not be much to people, they are all to dogs, and they are eternal beliefs throughout their short lives.

"That's it." Pippi sighed, and then told Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying in front of him about this matter, after hearing this, the two of them felt as if they had been stuffed with cotton, especially Zhang Shifei, he knew in his heart that Lao Xu Tou had died a long time ago, that is to say, Pippi's waiting and protection were destined to be fruitless.

For a moment, the two of them forgot that fifteen was not far away, and the fear in Fang Cai's heart suddenly disappeared, leaving only admiration and sentimentality for this old dog.

Pipsqueak didn't seem to feel anything, maybe it already knew that Lao Xu Tou would not come back, but these didn't matter anymore, the demon eggs in its body had already matured, but it was a little reluctant, originally it wanted to stay here for a few more days, until it completely scared away the people who wanted to demolish its house, so it began to hide from Fifteen.

But it met Zhang Shifei, and his care made Pipsqueak feel warm again, and it couldn't bear this good man to die like this, so he resolutely stood up to face the fifteenth.

It is impossible for those urban management masters to know that it was an old dog who prevented them from demolition.

Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying naturally couldn't think of this, there were really too many surprising things this night, one after another, which made Zhang Shifei a little unable to adapt.

Pippi was an old dog, he was old, he couldn't stand for long, the wind was blowing and his whole body was shivering, but he looked calm, he squatted on the ground, and looked like a statue of comfort.

Pipsqueak said to the surprised two, "Yes, I did all this, and it has nothing to do with that gentleman, and I have to thank him for it." When it got here, it nodded to the fifteenth, and said, "Thank you, sir, and I will keep the promise and give this thing back to you." ”

The fifteenth snorted coldly, completely ignoring the gaze of Zhang and Li, and just said to Na Pipi: "This time I really lost my book, I gained one and lost another, although it was useless... ”

With that, he raised his legs and walked this way, and the lightning illuminated his pale and emaciated face, which was full of grim smiles.

"What do you want to do!!"

Zhang Shifei took the lead and subconsciously blocked in front of Pippi, and Li Fatzi then turned into a big black bear, standing aside and showing his fierce teeth to the fifteen.

The fifteenth was obviously very disdainful of the two of them, only to see him frown, and then said to the two: "It's none of your business, if you want to live, hurry up and dodge!" ”

The two of them naturally won't flash, although they know that there is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us, but they have already made their attitude clear when they came before, and they are here tonight to prove that the two are not a poor worm who can only survive by the mercy of others! Although Pipsqueak had good intentions, being rescued by an old dog only made the two of them feel more humiliated.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shifei gritted his teeth, and the peacock fairy bone qi surrounded his right hand again, he was really ruthless this time, the blue mist became thicker and thicker, gradually wrapping the entire right arm, reflecting half of his body, it looked like a light blue flame.

He shouted: "Less nonsense! Who wants you to be pitiful?! Let's play the second round!! ”

Pippi behind him saw that Zhang was going to make a move, so he hurriedly said to him: "Sir, don't fight, you can't beat it, this is the agreement between me and it, I must abide by it!" ”

"!!" Zhang Shifei shouted, he didn't look back, just turned his back to Napipi, at this time his expression was rarely serious, only listened to him say word by word: "Didn't you say that you would protect this place?" How can you protect yourself if you die? ”
