Chapter 13: The Puppy
Today's weather is exceptionally good, Su Changqing walked out of the door, faced the mountain, stretched deeply, and felt that his whole heart was happy.
After eating, he planned to go to the county to buy a few more books to read. In the past, he read books for tasks, but now he reads books because it has become a hobby. To be honest, Su Changqing really wanted to experience what it was like to be empowered by the system again......
I don't know if the empowerment is accurate.
Su Changqing had some money in his arms and drove to the county on a tricycle.
Because he had greeted him in advance, Zhang Xu had been waiting at the door of the vegetable market for a long time.
After getting out of the car, Su Changqing and Zhang Xupan talked.
"Old man, are you here to buy books again?"
Su Changqing nodded, "Yes, I read the book last time, and I felt that I gained a lot, so I came again." ”
"What books are you buying this time?"
"Hmm...... It's still a Mongolian reading. ”
When I came out of the bookstore, the sun was already shining a little. Su Changqing gently touched the book cover, a little melancholy.
There was no food left at home, so he felt the money in his pocket and walked towards the vegetable market.
It may be that the vegetables are still fresh in the morning. It's just that Su Changqing didn't dare to buy too many vegetables, because there was no refrigerator at home, and he couldn't finish it alone, so he couldn't finish it alone, and he put it away, but this dish was not fresh.
Carrying two bags of vegetables, Su Changqing walked out of the vegetable market.
Walking to the tricycle, he was just about to get on the bike when a faint voice came from him.
Huh?Su Changqing frowned.
What is this sound?
The voice was faint, like a babbling child trying to express his emotions.
He rubbed his ears, wondering if they were hallucinations behind the backs of his ears.
Shaking his head, Su Changqing got on the tricycle, but just a few steps after driving, the voice came again.
I don't know what's going on, Su Changqing only felt that there was a doom in the dark, or something in his heart, so he unconsciously looked in one direction.
He squinted, his vision still a little blurry.
There's nothing but a bunch of rubbish like rotten leaves.
He was just about to leave when the voice came again. It seems to be faintly screaming for help.
Help?
A trace of strangeness flashed in Su Changqing's heart. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the voice still passed through his ears unrelentingly.
It's weird. Su Changqing frowned, a little puzzled. His ears are obviously not very good, and he may not be able to hear them if he doesn't speak loudly, but why can he still hear this faint voice this time?
He got out of the car and walked towards the pile of garbage.
Getting closer, it's still a blur.
Su Changqing put on his glasses, and only then did he see the front clearly.
In front of me was a pile of garbage, all kinds of vegetable leaves piled together, and some snack packaging bags hanging bits and pieces on it. And behind this garbage, Su Changqing saw a touch of yellow.
This is......
Su Changqing stepped forward and saw a dirty puppy lying on the ground, with a black and yellow body on its body, and its hair was made into strands, looking very sloppy.
Dog......
Su Changqing was stunned for a moment.
At this time, the puppy seemed to sense that someone was coming, and looked up at him sickly, and then his eyes drooped again, and there he was panting weakly.
Looking at this dog, Su Changqing didn't know why he was a little distracted.
He remembered that he seemed to have had a dog before, a local dog, and finally after inexplicably getting a skin disease, his father ate him.
Su Changqing thought countless times about what would happen if he didn't die, whether he had anything to eat, whether he would be bullied by the big dog, whether someone would adopt him again, or throw him away again.
There was nothing to eat at home back then, so he ate him one bite at a time with tears in his eyes, and there was no soup left.
This is already another kind of abandonment.
So...... Was this dog also discarded?
Su Changqing pursed his lips and reached out to touch the top of his head.
Somewhat slimy.
He put his hand on his armpit and lifted him up.
The puppy didn't bark, but looked at him quietly and lowered his head again.
Feel...... This dog is quite spiritual.
Su Changqing put him on the tricycle, and he was not afraid that he would run away halfway. I scraped my hand on the tricycle and ran to drive.
All the way, the dog did not bark, it was very quiet, and the silence made people suspect that he was still there.
There was nothing wrong on the road, and Su Changqing returned home very safely.
Well...... When the time comes, plant some vegetables.
He silently looked at the bamboo forest next to the house and thought so.
Money is running out now...... Let's see if there's a place to work tomorrow......
Su Changqing sighed, walked to the back of the tricycle, and took the puppy out.
"Come, let's go take a shower. ”
The puppy was obediently held by him, and his body was soft.
Putting the puppy next to the pool, Su Changqing found a large red basin.
"I don't know if you're afraid of water. ”
He scooped some cold water from the pool, poured it into the basin, and carried the puppy inside.
Since there is no money to install a water heater, Su Changqing usually uses cold water.
The puppy was not afraid of the cold, stayed quietly inside, and stretched out his pink tongue to lick the water in the basin.
As soon as the water was scooped up, patches of filth quickly slipped off the dog and submerged in the water. In other words, the puppy was drinking dirty water.
"It's really ......" Su Changqing touched the top of his head, picked up the soap and began to bathe the dog.
The puppy sat in the basin and remained motionless at his various kneading.
This dog is really dirty, and it has been rubbed 2 times, and the water that comes out is still gray.
It's just that the puppy didn't resist, Su Changqing washed it very easily, but it took four washes to wash the dog.
Su Changqing slowly stood up, rubbed his waist and shoulders, and sighed when he heard a slight "rattle". After a while, he took out an old towel and tried to dry the puppy as much as he could.
"I don't have a hair dryer at home, so I'll just leave it at that. Su Changqing said to himself.
After wiping the dog, Su Changqing poured some porridge from the pot and put it in the bowl.
"Hello, are you hungry?" Su Changqing touched the puppy's head, and the puppy also made a "whine" sound in cooperation.
He touched his ribs, which were faintly visible. Quite distressed, "I'm hungry, let's eat." ”
The puppy glanced up at him, not knowing if it was an illusion or what, Su Changqing inexplicably saw a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Well?
He blinked, am I dazzled?
By the time he looked over again, the puppy had already lowered his head and started eating.
Su Changqing shook his head and smiled, feeling that he was also suspicious, how could dogs have complex human emotions?
After rubbing the dog's head again, Su Changqing turned around and walked towards the house.
Let's take a look at the book I just bought today.
