Qiuqiu was seriously injured in the battle with the Earth Dog King, and escaped death to save a small life, hiding in the grass to survive.

When it was dark again, Qiuqiu woke up, he got up, sniffed in the air, chose the direction where the smell was thin, he wanted to find a clearing, recover quietly or die.

Qiuqiu struggled forward, stopping, sniffing, making sure there was no danger, and then continued to move forward step by step.

Walking through a wide road, Qiuqiu entered a park, where he saw a lake and rockeries around the lake.

Seventy years ago, tens of thousands of people volunteered to dig up the silt and sand of the wetland, and piled them up on small soil hills, forming mountains in high places and lakes in low areas. People also planted flowers and trees, built corridors, built pavilions and paved roads, and built a desolate wetland into the current Nanhu Park.

Qiuqiu wants to climb the rockery, although he is not sure if he can do it with physical strength, but if he still has a breath, he has to go to the mountain. Because the smell of the ground is too mixed and difficult to distinguish, only when he goes to a high place can he distinguish the smell of home, that is, the smell of beauty, Sun Chao and Lu Gang, and most importantly, he has to find the smell of Yu Long and find the owner.

At the highest point of the rockery, people piled up boulders to form a peak, and built a wind and rain pavilion on the peak. When Qiuqiu used all his strength to climb under the wind and rain pavilion, it was already the second half of the night.

Qiuqiu gasped for a while, looking up at the city at night, quiet and serene, brightly lit, quiet as a dream. He tilted his head and tried to sniff into the air, and his spirit suddenly perked up, and the smell of his master loomed in the air like a gossamer, wafting as if out of nowhere.

Qiuqiu was excited, and immediately changed his position to continue sniffing, he wanted to judge the direction of the smell, which was the direction of home.

However, the smell of the owner did not come from one direction, but an area that Qiuqiu remembered.

Animals are much more clever at discerning direction than humans, and they are born with their own "compass" in their brains, relying on the invisible magnetic field lines of the earth, carrier pigeons can return home safely from thousands of kilometers away; The swallows that have gone in autumn can still find their old nests when they return; Sturgeon fish can swim across the vast expanse of the sea to the river where they were born.

Finding the direction of home, Qiuqiu was relieved and slept peacefully in the whispering of the evening breeze.

In the second half of the night, Qiuqiu was awakened by some movement, he smelled the smell of people, people are the most dangerous, terrible, and cruel animals in the world, Qiuqiu immediately hid in the grass.

One tall and one short, climbed up the hill, the tall one in front and the short one behind. The short man carried a box on his back, and the box was so heavy that it almost bent his waist, and he climbed up the hill not like he was walking, but after the tall man.

The two of them gasped and came to the stone peak, sat down and gasped for a while. One said, "Right here?" ”

The other said, "That's it." ”

The tall man got up and cut a two-foot square into the turf with a sapper's shovel, then lifted the whole piece of turf and set it aside.

The tall man handed the sapper shovel to the short man, who took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground, and then began to dig the earth, piling all the excavated soil on the cloth.

The rockery is made of mud and sand, which is easy to dig up, and the damp fresh soil is quickly piled up on the rainproof cloth.

Qiuqiu hid in the shadows and watched them without blinking, not knowing what they were going to do.

The tall man stood up and looked into the pit and said, "Almost." ”

The two lifted the heavy box, lowered it into the pit, and backfilled the soil of the tarpaulin into the pit, backfilling it with their feet, and finally put the whole turf back in its place, and wrapped the excess dirt in the tarpaulin.

They collected some weeds and dead leaves, and scattered them on the turf haphazardly, and everything returned to its original state, with no signs of breaking the ground.

The tall man looked at it and said, "Okay." ”

The two put away the sapper shovels, carried the excess dirt wrapped in the rainproof cloth, and looked around. The tall man said, "Let's go." The two crept down the hill.

Hearing that they were walking away, Qiuqiu crept over, the place they had dug was well camouflaged, and it was not obvious that the soil here had been dug up, but the smell of fresh soil could not hide Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu knew that there must be something buried here, and he remembered this place.

Qiuqiu went back to sleep in the grass, and when it was about to dawn, he was awakened again, it was Erha and Little Teddy who came.

Erha and little Teddy didn't leave Qiuqiu, they went to look for food, and when they came back, they found that Qiuqiu was gone, so they found it by smell.

Erha's mouth was chattering on a transparent plastic lunch box, and there were several fragrant dumplings in the lunch box.

Erha clawed his mouth and tore open the lunch box and handed it to Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu was hungry, swallowed a few dumplings, and the wound hurt when the food passed through his throat, and Qiuqiu couldn't eat it. Looking up, I saw that little Teddy was salivating, Qiuqiu arched the lunch box, and Little Teddy immediately understood what Qiuqiu meant, and pounced on it to eat all the remaining dumplings.

Qiuqiu arched Erha's neck with his mouth, which was a gesture of friendship and gratitude. Erha saluted Qiuqiu, they leaned together and lay quietly for a while, Erha got up and said, "I'll look for food again." ”

Qiuqiu nodded very movingly, Erha may still be hungry, but he gave him and little Teddy the only food he had.

Erha and Teddy disappeared into the night, their scent still in the air, on the grass, Qiuqiu sniffed and sniffed, feeling very friendly and comforted.

There are often human leftovers in the garbage cans downstairs in residential areas, but now the garbage cans are tall and large, and Qiuqiu and Little Teddy are too small, and only Erha can knock over the garbage cans and rummage for food after standing upright.

The dumplings I ate just now replenished my strength, and Qiuqiu also went down the mountain and hid under the bridge across the river, which is a good place to recuperate.

Qiuqiu rested under the bridge for three days, and Erha and Teddy found food and sent it back to enjoy it together, and lay down quietly for a while after dinner to enjoy the comfort of company.

On the fourth day, Qiuqiu felt that his body was almost recovered, and said to Erha, "I'll take you home tonight." ”

Qiuqiu's words Erha is convinced, Qiuqiu is a god-like existence in his eyes, and he is their savior.

When Erha was put in an iron cage by the dog fighting team, he saw his master standing aside crying and shouting and screaming, but he couldn't help him. Erha trembled and knew he was going to be finished.

That night, all the dogs were trembling in fear, but Qiuqiu did not give up the chance to survive, he squeezed to the side, looked left and right, and actually opened the U-shaped iron bar of the iron cage, and opened the lid of the cage, because he was too small, only one slit was opened. A big yellow-haired dog understood and suddenly stood upright, the lid of the cage snapped over, and more than a dozen of his kind jumped out of the iron cage and rushed to the gate as if they had received a pardon.

Erha ran out of a long way before stopping, looking back, a group of the same kind followed, everyone stopped to greet each other, happy for the victory escape, in which Qiuqiu, Erha and Xiaotai's smell is familiar with each other, indicating that they are a community, other dogs smell unfamiliar, not their community.

Erha, Qiuqiu and Teddy have been together since that moment, and after many days of wandering, after many food battles, they are still together because they have a common home.
