Chapter 30 The Abandoned

Jixiang was born as a small rogue dog. He never met his father or mother, but he just competed with a group of older dogs for trash cans every day.

Although life is hard and he is always hungry, he at least has a newspaper, which can be used to avoid him when he is cold, so as not to freeze to death.

He didn't know where he came from, and couldn't find his family, so he had to wander around.No one is willing to take him in overnight, even if it rains, even just for one night.

The little auspicious wandered like that, he walked through many blocks, kept looking for food, kept fighting against vicious people, kept escaping from those vicious people, and kept trying to find ways to survive. go down.

Until that day, the day he met that person.

It was also a snowy night, and the little Ji Xiang took out the old newspaper that was dug out from the trash can, and found a corner to huddle in it and shiver.

Winter is so long.Thinking to himself, Jixiang looked up at the sky.Xue didn't seem to want to stop, he rubbed his little paws and shrunk himself into a ball.

It's okay, it's okay, get through tonight and the snow will stop.Ji Xiang kept comforting himself, when suddenly the light above his head became brighter, he looked up curiously, and a dull-looking man in his 20s took away his newspaper.

Ji Xiang just wanted to jump up and bite him, but the man squatted down and said with a smile: "I said why there is an old newspaper here, I thought it was thrown by someone at my door, so it is yours."

"Yeah, give me back my newspaper." The auspicious voice came out, and the man laughed out loud.

"You look quite cute, you're still panda-colored, but you're too dirty."

"Am I cute?"

The man looked at Ji Xiang who was sitting in front of him wagging his tail, picked him up, looked at him, and said, "There is no collar, it looks like a stray dog. If you don't dislike me, come home with me."

"Of course." Jixiang called out, and the man picked him up and walked towards the house next to him.

Since then, that house has been an auspicious home.

The man gave Jixiang a small collar and a small cardboard box. The warm atmosphere in the house and the soft cushion in the cardboard box once made Jixiang think that he was in heaven, until the man took him to the small human house called the toilet.

"You are too dirty, I need to take a bath for you first."

"What's a bath?"

Before Jixiang finished speaking, the man threw him into the water.Ji Xiang was most afraid of water, he yelled and ran out, but no matter how much he yelled or choked on water, the man wouldn't let him go.

That day, Ji Xiang bit him.

"I'm so stupid, I almost thought he was trying to kill me." Sitting in the car back to Yiye City, Jixiang lowered his head and smiled while talking to himself, but no one noticed him as an ordinary dog ​​at all.

Human beings are really strange creatures, Jixiang thought, he took out the collar in his pocket, and groped it in his hand repeatedly.

It was that person who saved him from living a wandering life.It was the man who gave him a home.

"Maybe if it wasn't for him that day, I would have frozen to death."

"It's only right for him to abandon me. After all, I'm just a stray dog ​​he picked up."

"Even if you let me live that kind of life again, it shouldn't be too bad. Without him, maybe I'm still living that kind of life now."

Ji Xiang kept murmuring words that only he could hear, and when he closed his eyes, he remembered the man's clear eyes again.

"You'll be called Jixiang from now on, it sounds quite auspicious, haha."

"I don't want it, good soil." Jixiang wagged his tail and complained.

"You agree?"

"No!" Ji Xiang tried hard to make himself look very resistant.

"Great." The man picked him up, trimmed his nails earnestly, and kept muttering, "You seem to be different from other dogs, you are smarter than them."

"Of course." Ji Xiang let him cut his nails, raised his head proudly, and saw the short green beard growing on the man's chin.

Human beings are really strange. A person who looks so fierce can be so gentle to him.Jixiang smiled, lying on his lap, quietly enjoying the joy of this moment.

If only this person could always be so nice to him.

If only he could live like this forever.

Even if he had to be washed in the water every other day, and those strange bubbles were applied to his body, he didn't care.

"If that woman hadn't shown up, how much better we would be now"

The ear-piercing roar of the arriving train interrupted Jixiang's thoughts. He got off the train and walked towards the house.

Everything remained the same as before he left, and the house was still as quiet as death.There were empty beer cans and cigarette butts all over the floor, broken dishes and clothes mixed together, the man still fell asleep peacefully with his pillow in his arms, beside his pillow were traces of tears that he had cried.

Jixiang jumped onto the bed and lay down next to the man, rubbing his head against the man's face, but he didn't see the man wake up, only his even breathing sprayed on the top of his head.

"It's really useless, what's so good about that man." Ji Xiang couldn't help complaining, but the man didn't wake up.

"I found the shop that the old woman told me about on the side of the road, and it's exactly what she said."

"If this is the last time I'm with you, will you wake up?"

"I'm gone, you must live well, just like before."

"Can't you just look at me again? Even if you open your eyes again and call me auspicious, then clap your hands at me stupidly."

It was still as quiet as death.

Jixiang lowered his head, lay beside the man and didn't speak any more, just lying on his stomach quietly, staring blankly at the man's face.

Obviously this human being is so strange, and obviously they have only been together for five years, but he feels that these five years are like a long life, and like a moment.

Human beings, what are you thinking in your heart?Why can he never understand what this person wants, but can clearly feel how good he is to him?
Rather than saying that this person abandoned him, it is better to say that he made his own decision to leave this man first.

The clock on the wall was still turning non-stop, like the final judgment before parting, Jixiang just kept lying beside him, never leaving for a moment.

When the white belly rose in the east, he carefully covered the man with the quilt, looked at the messy room, and finally rubbed his head against the man's face.

The green beard had grown very long and was a bit prickly, but Ji Xiang felt that his face was extraordinarily gentle.

"It's time for you to get your life back, and it's time for me to go."

"Goodbye, Shanwen."
