Chapter 30: Adopting the Dogs
A new day has begun.
It may be that the people who went into the water yesterday have gained, and there are more people who went into the water today.
Lin Wanqiao was holding a fritter in her mouth and holding a telescope in her hand looking downstairs.
On a small platform on the faΓ§ade of the opposite neighborhood, a black and yellow object was moving slightly.
Lin Wanqiao adjusted the focus and fixed her eyes.
It's a puppy.
The dog was drenched in the rain, his fur was wet and sticking to his body, and his skinny body was shivering in the rain.
The platform is only half a meter wide, just enough for it to lie on and move freely. And less than one meter below the platform is a wave flood, which is very dangerous.
Lin Wanqiao didn't know how the puppy climbed up, at present, the people in the water only looked down to find supplies, and they hadn't looked up yet, if they were discovered, they were afraid that it would become a dog meat feast.
Shen Shaoyu also found the puppy.
"You want to save it?"
Lin Wanqiao nodded slowly.
When she was young, she and her maternal grandparents also had a dog at home in the countryside. At that time, she didn't have any playmates, and every day the dog sent her to walk to the town to school, and when she got out of school, she would be able to see it at the school gate, rain or shine. The dog's company can be said to make up for her childhood memories to a great extent.
Seeing that this one looks similar
reminded her of that time.
"Then we'll go and save it."
Shen Shaoyu has always unconditionally supported Lin Wanqiao's decision.
"Okay."
The two told the second elder about the situation, and the latter agreed, and only told him to be careful when entering the water.
After putting on the raincoat, Lin Wanqiao took out the rubber boat, inflated it with an air pump, and walked downstairs with Shen Shaoyu on his shoulder.
When he met a neighbor in the staircase, his eyes lit up when he saw the rubber boat.
"Girl, you actually have a rubber boat at home!"
"Young man, we have been stuck at home for so many days, there is no water, no electricity, and the food is not cooked, can you borrow us a rubber boat to use, so we can go outside and find some fuel."
Lin Wanqiao's face darkened: "Don't borrow!" β
"Everyone is a neighbor, what's wrong with you helping out......"
As he spoke, he started to pull the rubber boat, and Shen Shaoyu, who was concentrating on going downstairs, was dragged so much that he almost fell down the stairs.
Lin Wanqiao was furious, kicked the man over, pulled out the machete in his arms and pointed at him and yelled: "You try to touch it again?" β
When the man's old mother saw her son being beaten, she immediately cried and reached out to grab Lin Wanqiao's face.
"Hit someone! This hits my son! ! β
If you get caught in the face, you won't be able to break your face.
Lin Wanqiao reversed the knife face and slapped the claw stretched out from the opposite side with the back of the knife. The other party was in pain, but Lin Wanqiao didn't give the other party a chance to fight back at all, and kicked directly at the chest of the old woman, and the other party lost his center of gravity and rolled down the stairs.
When the man saw the old mother rolling downstairs, he didn't care about scolding, so he climbed down and pulled it.
The crowd of onlookers blamed.
"You little girl is too vicious, people just borrow something, and they beat people like this."
"That's right, if you don't borrow, you won't borrow, let's talk about it, why don't you do it. At Mrs. Yu's age, if she goes down at this step, she doesn't know if she will fall out of the way. β
"They all live in one building, and there are rubber boats only for their own use, no matter whether the neighbors live or die, and I don't know how my parents taught me."
Lin Wanqiao's eyes instantly felt cold, the tip of the knife pointed at the person who spoke, and said word by word: "If you have the ability, you say it again?" β
Shen Shaoyu also put down the rubber boat and pulled out the Tang knife from his back.
"Do you want me to teach you for your parents, and don't take other people's things?"
The man who spoke swallowed his saliva and did not dare to speak for a while. Immediately, he pulled his legs and ran upstairs.
Lin Wanqiao and the others took the knife, lifted the rubber boat and walked down, and the place in front of them instantly gave way to a way.
Walk to the window on the third floor platform.
Yesterday, in order to facilitate the rescue, all the windows that were in the way were knocked out, and now there is only a huge window hole left.
The two put the rubber boat into the water, sat on it, and rowed towards the opposite community with the oars.
The rubber boat was getting closer and closer to the dog, and Lin Wanqiao also saw the dog's appearance clearly.
The little one, shrunk in the corner of the platform and shivering.
The dog looks like he is only about ten pounds, and he should still be a puppy. Only the hair on the face, ears, and back is black, and the rest of the place is yellow. It's kind of like a wolfdog.
The hair all over its body had been soaked by the rain, clinging to its bony body.
If you look closely, the hair on some of the skin has fallen out, revealing wounds of old and new. Some have healed, leaving scars, and some are still turning outward, oozing blood at the slightest movement.
A pair of amber eyes were vigilantly looking at Lin Wanqiao and the others who were approaching.
Shen Shaoyu rowed the rubber boat to the bottom of the platform, and after stopping, he helped Lin Wanqiao to stand up.
When the dog saw that the two were targeting it, he immediately arched his feet, bared his fangs, and let out a low warning roar from his mouth.
Lin Wanqiao first threw a piece of leftover meat from last night in front of it.
The dog had obviously been hungry for a long time, and when he smelled the meat thrown in front of him, he still couldn't help but eat it.
The human in front of him wanted to deceive it again, and then kill the dog to eat meat.
"You don't want to eat it?"
Lin Wanqiao was surprised, this dog is quite smart and knows how to guard against strangers, no wonder he can survive in such an environment.
"Eat with confidence, I won't hurt you."
She took out the meat again, put it in her mouth in front of the dog, took a bite, swallowed it, and put all the rest of the meat on the platform, and put a little clean water in a plastic box next to the meat.
After doing this, the two of them sat back in the dinghy and stopped moving.
When the dog saw Lin Wanqiao and the others returning to the rubber boat, he crawled and carefully climbed to the side of the food. Sniffed it carefully, looked at Lin Wanqiao, and then looked at the meat.
I tried to lick it.
It smells so good!
The dog couldn't hold back any longer and began to gobble it up.
"Eat slowly, don't swallow, drink some water."
How can the dog understand, a meal is tornail, and the meat is eaten in an instant.
After eating, he retracted into the corner.
Lin Wanqiao stood up again, and the dog suddenly made another attacking gesture.
White-eyed wolf!
Lin Wanqiao laughed and scolded in her heart.
"You've eaten and drunk, do you want to come with me? Later, the meat and bones are enough. β
"Wang!"
Lin Wanqiao lowered her body, took out a piece of beef stick bone from the space that she was going to use for stew, held it in her hand, shook it at the dog, and said softly: "Look, I don't lie to you." β
The dog tilted his head to look at Lin Wanqiao, as if hesitating.
She was not in a hurry, and waited patiently with the bones.
After a while, the dog slowly crawled towards Lin Wanqiao's side.
Until he climbed to the platform in front of Lin Wanqiao, smelled the bones, lowered his head and began to lick it.
Lin Wanqiao tentatively put her hand on the dog's head.
The little heads of his subordinates only stiffened for a moment, and they did not resist and continued to lick the flesh and bones.
Lin Wanqiao stroked her little head with confidence: "Little guy, come with me?" β
"Woo woo woo ......"
She grabbed the flesh of the back of the dog's neck, picked it up with one hand, and dragged the dog's body with the other.
The dog didn't struggle, and obediently let Lin Wanqiao put it in the plastic box that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Go home!"
Lin Wanqiao smiled and gave an order.
