mad dog and loyal dog

[Special episode - First Encounter]

Xia Ming was abducted home by Zhang Ting with a meal. Zhang Ting saw that he was scolded bloody, then turned around with his head down and continued to squat to wash the dishes. He looked like a small one. He is also a little malnourished, and his arms are so thin that it is difficult to pick up a bowl.And it's already close to midnight, and being left here to do the dishes is simply child labor abuse.

Zhang Ting didn't have much money on him. He hadn't been doing well recently. The boss he followed disappeared without a trace, and his younger brother died without money for medical treatment.Now I have hundreds of dollars left on my body, and I don't know how to live.It's just that when I passed by the alley and saw Xia Ming, I suddenly felt a little sympathy. Just now I seemed to hear the child being scolded, saying that he would not be allowed to eat until he finished cleaning the dishes tonight.But the number of dishes he has to wash is several large dishes, and the number keeps increasing. It is estimated that he can't finish washing at four or five o'clock in the morning.

"Do you want to eat?" Zhang Ting walked over to him and asked him, standing in front of him.

Xia Ming raised his head and glanced at Zhang Ting, only thought that this man's facial features were really good-looking, even though his hair was tied up long, he didn't look like a girl at all.His voice was still gentle, it was just an ordinary question, and Xia Ming didn't dare to answer it.He didn't know what Zhang Ting's purpose was, and he was a little nervous.

"When you finish washing these dishes, your hands will rot. I'll ask you again, do you want to have dinner with me?" Zhang Ting said in a calm tone, as if he didn't have much interest in Xia Ming .It seemed that he was just chatting and questioning casually with passers-by, calm and calm.

Xia Ming thought for a while, then shook his head, "I can't leave, the boss will scold me." Xia Ming's voice is changing now, and his voice is still a bit childish.The face looks so small, very cute child.

It was just dirty.Zhang Ting looked at him for a long time. He thought of his younger brother who had just died not long ago. After spending 10,000+, he was still unable to cure his illness and died on the hospital bed.The younger brother is about the same age as the child in front of him, and they are both small, so thin that they seem to die if they are strangled.

"Do you have parents?" Zhang Ting asked him, "How old are you, why do you work here?" Children of this age are probably studying, and they probably go to bed early at this time.

Xia Ming was still wary of the person in front of him asking questions, but it might be because no one cared about him for too long, or it might be because Zhang Ting doesn't seem like a bad person.Like a ghost, Xia Ming still answered Zhang Ting's question. He shook his head, "No, I don't have a home. I'm 14 years old." He said, still feeling a little ashamed, "The orphanage, my dean helped find a job. After school Come here, eat and live, one thousand and eight a month."

Washing the dishes until the hands are wrinkled, only one thousand and eight a month.It is clear that it is cheating children.Zhang Ting frowned, "Follow me. I'll take care of food and shelter too, come?" He asked, "I'm Zhang Ting, this area is quite famous, you can grab a few people and ask them." It's because of fighting Yes, he fights for the boss, fights off troublemakers for the boss's bar business, because he is too noisy, and will take the initiative to fight with others for territory, so everyone calls him 'mad dog'.

Xia Ming was a little embarrassed, "Then do you have money?"

"No." Zhang Ting was very honest, "It will happen after a meeting." The matter of collecting some protection fees after a fight will happen soon.Zhang Ting is also only 22 years old at this time, which is the age of aggressiveness.

Xia Ming was still hesitating, but when he was thinking about how to answer Zhang Ting, someone suddenly came from the back door behind him.It was the supervisor who came to scold him, his voice was too sharp, as if Xia Ming was about to be torn to pieces, "Xia Ming—! Who are you talking to, have you finished washing the dishes!"

It's over!Xia Ming was so frightened that his skin got goosebumps. He put down the bowl in his hand, glanced at Zhang Ting, and wiped his hands that were full of bubbles. "Let's go, if you don't go, I'll go." Zhang Ting gave the final invitation, and turned around to leave first.

Xia Ming turned his head to look at the ferocious-looking supervisor, then at the gentle-looking Zhang Ting, and ran after Zhang Ting resolutely.He has been working here for three months, and he really doesn't want to endure this.If it is difficult to follow Zhang Ting, it should not be more difficult than it is now, right?

Thinking of this, Xia Ming ignored the insulting sound of the supervisor behind him, and ran faster.All the way to catch up with Zhang Ting, I don't know what I was expecting.

Zhang Ting found that this kid was running quite fast, and he caught up in a while.Xia Ming ran to Zhang Ting's side, he was still much shorter than Zhang Ting, he looked too thin, too small. "Are you really hungry, are you malnourished?" Looking at it, it may be less than 1.6 meters five, with small arms and legs.

They ran far away now, and no one caught up.Xia Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he would be caught by the supervisor and strangled to death.When he saw the supervisor catching up just now, he was so frightened that he lost his soul. "There is food to eat, but not enough." Food is deducted every day, and occasionally there is only a sweet potato or a steamed bun, which is completely insufficient for a developing child.When he came out, the dean also gave him 2000 yuan, but he was reluctant to use it and didn't spend any money.

Zhang Ting took his hand to look at it, there were many calluses growing on it, and his fingers were wrinkled from washing the bowl for a long time, and it was cold to the touch.This cold feeling is a bit like the moment when his brother died, it was chilly.But Zhang Ting didn't regard Xia Ming as his younger brother's stand-in, but the fact that his younger brother died made Zhang Ting feel a little bit of sympathy for the child in front of him, a little bit of unspeakable distress.

Zhang Ting and his younger brother were also picked up to raise since they were young, and now the eldest is gone.Then he picks one up too, and be the boss himself.Zhang Ting was planning in his heart, hoping that Xia Ming's arrival would allow him to have a decent home.

"It's okay, I'll take care of you." Zhang Ting smiled at Xia Ming, and took his hand, "What's your name?"

The temperature came from the palm of the hand. This gentle and warm way of holding hands made Xia Ming feel unbelievable. He felt warm in his heart, "Xia Ming." Xia Ming wrote his name and shook Zhang Ting's hand back, "...Zhang Ting .” He yelled.

"En." Zhang Ting responded, "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"it is good."

He actually took Xia Ming's hand and walked all the way.

It was Xia Ming's first buffet, and he crazily swept the food into his stomach.He thinks that Zhang Ting can sell him, as long as there is food, everything is worth it.Except for the dean, no one has treated him so well.He didn't understand why Zhang Ting was so kind to a stranger, taking him to a buffet, giving him a place to live, and buying him new clothes and shoes on the way back.It was a good thing that Xia Ming had never enjoyed.

It's just that Zhang Ting's place is a bit small and looks messy.There is only one bed in one room, but fortunately there is an independent bathroom.When he got home, Zhang Ting pointed to the ground, "Clean it up yourself, I'll sleep on the bed." Zhang Ting stretched, walked to the bed and fell down. "Congratulations, the rent here is about to stop, and you will live wherever I live in the future. Let's make a family together."

Xia Ming glanced at the messy floor, feeling a little complicated. There were not only finished wine bottles on the floor, but also takeaways that had been out for a few days, and there were even some unexplained tissue balls under the bed.

Xia Ming glanced at Zhang Ting again, and saw that he lifted his clothes and scratched his belly. He looked extremely sloppy, but he didn't make people feel disgusted.Xia Ming was thinking, Zhang Ting's stomach is so white, if only he could touch it.This thought was only for a moment, and Xia Ming didn't understand what he was thinking.

"Zhang Ting, when I have money, can I let my friend follow you?" Xia Ming asked.

Zhang Ting turned over, supported his head and looked at Xia Ming, "It's fine, as long as he can fight." Zhang Ting said indifferently.

After hearing this, Xia Ming's expression was a little bad, "But I don't know how to fight, I don't know if my friends will." Xia Ming was a little scared, afraid that the pie that fell from the sky would run away, afraid that Zhang Ting would fight because he didn't know how to fight. Fighting doesn't want him, "I don't know how to fight, can't I be with you?" He doesn't like fighting, although he is quite strong and can carry a big basin full of dishes.But he would rather be beaten than beat others.He had been abused by his adoptive parents, and only knew that fighting and throwing his fists would hurt him even more.And he doesn't like hurting other people, it hurts.

Zhang Ting still smiled at him, "It's okay, I just let you live in my house, and I will protect you." Zhang Ting said to him, "If you don't want me to abandon you, grow up and work for me."

"Then I'll grow up." Xia Ming nodded, "I'll go wherever you go, you give me my home."

"Okay." Zhang Ting agreed, "Then you are mine."

You were picked up by me, and you are mine.

Zhang Ting: No, you grow as long as you grow. How did you grow to 1.9 meters? !

Zhang Ting: He used to be so cute!

Xia Ming: I grow ()* everywhere.
