Extra (5) It's okay to try again
This period of time is approaching the end of the year, and everyone else is busy, but it is the most relaxed time for Lin Qiao.
She did well in the final exam, the company did not give her a new job, and the observer of "Wanjie Lian Zong" has not yet started, so she has enough time to rest.
It's really idle, she pestered Long Aotian and wanted to join him to be a volunteer to rescue stray animals in the city.
It was her first day of volunteering.
Not long after he went out, he and Long Aotian found a little milk dog that was already squinting from the cold.
The two men took the dog to the volunteer base for a check-up, and found that the puppy was suffering from severe parvo in addition to malnutrition.
It is not difficult to treat in modern medicine, but puppies can be very sinful.
Lin Qiao squatted beside the puppy, looking at its dark and clear eyes, his heart was sullen and uncomfortable, and his memory couldn't help but drift away......
In fact, when she was a child, she also had a dog at home.
It was an old dog, not a breed of dog, but a mountain village dog, which had been raised at home for many years, earlier than she was born.
When she was sensible, she often heard her father mention that this dog had saved his life.
Lin Qiao's father was originally a freight driver, once he pulled goods home at night, walked on the mountain road, and encountered a slippery road on a rainy day, the car overturned, and he also lost consciousness.
The old dog at home, I don't know if he has been raised for many years and has spirituality, he was able to run more than ten miles alone and found Dad Lin.
It kept watch over Daddy Lin all night, during which it kept going to/licking/his face, and also put its body next to Daddy Lin.
It was this tiny temperature that pulled Dad Lin back from the brink of death.
Until daytime, when another car passed by the roadside, the dog rushed to the side of the road regardless of life or death, attracting the attention of the cars on the road.
Soon, a passer-by got out of the car to check the situation, and the dog whimpered beside him, as if humbly begging the passer-by to save his owner.
Later, Dad Lin was saved, but his leg had been pressed for too long and had to be amputated.
But he was still grateful to the dog, and without it, he would have lost not just a pair of legs, but a life.
Later, Lin Qiao went to elementary school.
The dog was more than ten years old, and he was considered a long life among dogs.
One day, Lin Qiao came back from school and found that the dog's breathing was very weak.
She realized that something was wrong, didn't even write her homework, and went out to the doctor with the dog in her arms.
The doctor in the mountain village told her that she had to go to a veterinarian to treat her, but they didn't have one in the mountain village.
As a child, she held the dog in her arms and walked a long way on foot to find a veterinarian in the city.
On the way, she met Long Aotian, who came to travel.
At that time, Long Aotian was still a teenager, riding a bicycle, and had a pair of turquoise blue and extremely beautiful eyes.
He probably thought that the picture of the little girl holding a dog was too rare, so he stopped the car with one foot on the ground, took the camera, and took a picture of her.
Then he took the initiative to walk to Lin Qiao's side and asked in fluent Chinese: "Little sister, where are you holding this old dog?" ”
Lin Qiao saw that he had a car, and he didn't care that he was a stranger, so he answered him honestly: "My dog is sick, I want to take it to the doctor, big brother, can you send me there?" ”
Long Aotian looked at the anxiety in her eyes, and couldn't bear to refuse: "I'm a veterinarian, I'll help you take a look." ”
Lin Qiao immediately gently put down the dog in his arms.
Long Aotian checked it and came to a conclusion flatly: "It's too old, it's hopeless, its organs are failing, it's breathing painfully now, be safe/happy/die." ”
The old dog seemed to understand, his rough/panting voice was heavier, and he looked at Lin Qiao with tears in his eyes.
Lin Qiao couldn't understand what these words meant, she thought that this big brother was joking, but she couldn't laugh a little.
When Long Aotian wanted to explain again, the dog finally glanced at Lin Qiao deeply, and then his eyes slowly drifted, and he lost his breathing and heartbeat.
Lin Qiao took Long Aotian's hand and said, "You try again, can you try again?" ”
Long Aotian saw that she didn't understand life and death, so he had to remind her: "It's useless, it's dead." ”
Lin Qiao was stunned, tears flowed down immediately, she still couldn't believe it, crying and begging: "Try again, it will wake up, please ......"
"......" Long Aotian really didn't know how to respond.
Slowly, Lin Qiao knew that it was impossible, so he could only accept this fact.
She threw herself on the ground, hugged the dog and cried.
Long Aotian never left her, accompanying her until dark.
During this period, Long Aotian kept asking her where her family lived and whether she wanted to send her back? Lin Qiao was sad and didn't have the heart to answer.
It wasn't until after dark that Long Aotian didn't wait any longer, he picked her up directly.
It's not a vertical hug like a child, it's a horizontal hug like a little princess.
He put her in his car, picked up the dog and put it in the back seat, and asked passers-by if they recognized Lin Qiao.
After asking for the address, he sent her and the dog home.
……
This incident, Lin Qiao thought that this was an episode in her life.
Until one day, the teacher told her that there was a Chinese expatriate who knew that her family was poor and was willing to bear all the expenses for her schooling.
The teacher also comforted her, telling her not to feel inferior, and letting her study hard is to give back to others.
Lin Qiao will not have low self-esteem, her mother often educates her that their family's difficulties are not caused by leisure and hard work, but by accidents and misfortunes, so they are not ashamed to accept funding, but they must remember those kindnesses and must repay them when they grow up.
So she was grateful to the person who had funded her.
She learned his name through the remittance information.
At that time, he did not have this Chinese name, it was a long, long foreign name.
Every time she got a result in an exam, she would email him to express her gratitude.
She has also been following him and learned that he later became a veterinarian and saved animals around the world.
Later, when Lin Qiao became an adult and was admitted to the university of her choice, she wrote to Long Aotian saying that she wanted to see him, and Long Aotian happened to pass through here and came to see her.
She accompanied Long Aotian to wander around Beicheng for three days, and when Long Aotian was about to leave, she mustered up the courage to confess to him.
She grew up, reunited with him, and fell in love with him.
……
The mind came back to the present.
Lin Qiao looked at the puppy in the incubator, and suddenly asked Long Aotian: "Long Long, do you remember my old dog?" ”
Long Aotian nodded silently.
Of course he remembers, that was the beginning of their story.
In fact, Long Aotian couldn't prolong her dog's life at that time, and she really regretted and blamed herself.
also blames him for not being good at learning.
The veterinary profession he studied was actually chosen arbitrarily.
He got into a fight with a boy who was studying medicine, and the boy beat him to death, and it hurt him to death, but he avoided the vital point perfectly, and he couldn't find out the injury when he went to examine it.
The man who studied medicine said, "I studied medicine just to beat you up and not go to jail." ”
Long Aotian replied at that time: "Then I have to go and learn veterinary medicine for you, because you are a beast." ”
Then he went to study veterinarian.
This is not what he likes, he goes to school and is messing around.
Until I met Lin Qiao.
Out of kindness, he sent Lin Qiao and the dog home.
Lin Qiao's parents sadly buried the old dog, and took out the best things in the house to entertain Long Aotian.
Even he didn't help at all.
He has been pampered since he was a child, and it is the first time that he knows that there are still families in the world who can live so hard.
But that family, which looks like a gray iron box, is full of optimism and kindness to life when it is opened.
It was then that he made up his mind to become a veterinarian and treat small animals for free.
In order to let such a family have that little bit of warmth and stay for a long time.
……
At this moment, Lin Qiao poked the puppy's head and said to Long Aotian: "Long Long, let's adopt it, and when it grows up, we will take it to fight with Astringency." ”
Long Aotian responded with a smile: "Okay, when it grows up, I'll sterilize it myself!" ”
The puppy in the incubator shivered.
For so many years, Lin Qiao has not dared to keep pets, just because she will never forget the look in the way the dog looked at her before he died.
Long Aotian didn't dare to have a pet, also because he couldn't forget the appearance of Lin Qiao holding his hand and crying and begging him to "try again".
They are afraid to experience this sadness again, so they refuse to have those warm and happy processes.
But this time, they are no longer afraid of losing.
If you have love to shelter from the wind and rain, you can be free from sorrow and sorrow.
