poor house

howling spring.But when he listened carefully, he found that it seemed to be Xiao Xi's voice.The face of the girlfriend under him was extremely ugly, and the more intense dog barking was accompanied by the sound of scratching the door.

The man knew that it was Xiao Xi who was going to enter the house. He had raised him for almost a year, and he had never heard him screaming so terribly.After all, it was already a cold day, and the man hesitated to get up to open the door, but he was pulled back by his girlfriend with a bad expression.

I wanted to continue with the unfinished business, but Xiao Xi at the door kept yelling relentlessly.The sound even alarmed the whole unit and even the people in the community. Even the neighbors across the door began to impatiently beat the connected wall to signal themselves to take the dog back.

But the girlfriend who was holding him tightly and not letting him get up did not compromise at all, as if he had competed with the dog outside the house.So this whole night finally did nothing, the disturbed man covered his girlfriend with a quilt and fell asleep back to back, no matter how his girlfriend teased him later, he lost his mood.

When the door opened in the morning, the dog that had been guarding the door almost jumped on his girlfriend again. The man had no choice but to drive him to the yard downstairs in front of his girlfriend, and promised to give the dog away if he got married in the future. .

Leaning against the wall, he always felt a little uncomfortable these days. The man rubbed his aching temple, looking at the empty room, he felt as if a piece was missing in his heart.After all, it is a pet that has been raised for a year, so it is more or less reluctant.

After hastily putting on his shoes, the man decided to go get the dog back.

Wu Xie slept until the afternoon, and when Wu Xie woke up, it was almost dark. Rubbing his eyes, he always felt that there was nothing to do today, so he remembered that he forgot to deliver food to the puppy at the intersection.Although I only saw him once yesterday, Wu Xie really liked him very much.Coupled with what Wang Meng said during the day about catching stray dogs and eating meat, Wu Xie felt that it was better to just take the dogs back and raise them.

Turning over and getting out of bed, Wu Xie packed up the leftover buns from this morning, got dressed and was ready to go out.In the end, Zhang Qiling didn't stop him, but Wang Meng did.

"Boss, if you go out, throw out the trash!"

Reluctantly accepting the garbage bag handed over by Wang Meng, Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling who was sitting behind the counter, said that he would be back soon, and trotted out of the humble house.

"Brother, you said that if the boss really brought the dog back, what name should we give him?" Wang Meng watched Wu Xie's back quickly disappear into the night, and asked Zhang Qiling for nothing.

"Donkey Dandan." Suddenly remembering something from a long time ago, Zhang Qiling chuckled without warning.

"Huh?!" I couldn't believe that this name came from Zhang Qiling's mouth. Wang Meng stared at Zhang Qiling with a smile on his face and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

Even though it was night, the mist that had permeated the day still did not dissipate.The dim street lamps were obscured by the fog, and the dim light reflected the snow-covered road surface, casting black shadows.

It was finally completely dark when Wu Xie walked near the trash can in a breath, and the sudden drop in temperature made the white gas that he released seemed to be condensing in the air.After disposing of the garbage, Wu Xie stood in place and looked at the direction the puppy ran away from yesterday. It was too dark, and the lights were so dim that it was impossible to find the existence of the puppy.

It was past get off work time, and no one passed by on the entire road.The camphor trees in the green belt dropped the remaining snow in the night wind, and it blew coldly onto Wu Xie's face.The fog was so thick that even the moon in the sky was completely blocked, and only the lights on tall buildings in the distance could be vaguely seen.

"Dog?" Although there was no one on the road, it was a bit embarrassing for a big man to look for a dog like a little girl.Wu Xie lowered her voice and barked while searching, "Dog, I'll bring you something to eat~~"

The world in the mist seemed to turn into black and white again in silence. Wu Xie searched the neighborhood with the bun, but still didn't see the shadow of the puppy.Just when he was a little worried about whether he would be caught by the dog catcher, Wu Xie suddenly heard a small sob coming from his feet.Looking down, it turned out to be the puppy from yesterday.

With a long sigh of relief, he knelt down and touched his cold head. Wu Xie broke the bun in his hand and put it in front of the dog with some distress, "I don't know if you ate today, are you hungry?"

The dog sniffed the buns in the plastic bag, as if he knew there was something wrong with the stuffing, but after eating the dough, he never touched the stuffing again.Wu Xie, who was squatting aside, watched the dog's behavior before realizing that even if he didn't know that there might be dog meat in the stuffing, such behavior was still a bit cruel to him.

"Doggie, why don't you go home with me?" He simply picked up the puppy who squatted obediently next to him after eating, and Wu Xie lovingly touched his back, "How lonely are you outside alone?" ?”

The fallen leaves kept flying and rolling in the wind, and the rustling sound was accompanied by the cold wind blowing behind his head, which made Wu Xie suddenly feel a chill down his back for no reason.Shrinking his neck to pick up the dog, Wu Xie decided to take him back to the humble house.

The dog in his arms seemed to understand that Wu Xie was going to take him away, sobbed softly, then struggled to jump out of Wu Xie's arms.Wandering around Wu Xie's feet, smelling his scent back and forth, carefully calling his trousers and dragging him to walk in the opposite direction.

"Huh? Where are you taking me?" It was obvious that the dog seemed to be leading the way for him. Before Wu Xie could finish his sentence, the dog let go of Wu Xie's trouser legs and trotted forward, looking back while running. See if Wu Xie has followed.

This dog is really human.Sighing silently in his heart, Wu Xie quickly followed the puppy to the neighborhood behind the humble house. The old neighborhood seemed to be old, and even the street lights were broken and no one came to repair them.The plants in the green belt cover the sky and the sun, so that the originally unclear moonlight does not shine on the ground at all.And as soon as he entered this community, Wu Xie clearly felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped again.

Standing at the door of the garage in the community where there was still some light, Wu Xie suddenly felt uneasy looking at the dark road ahead.Although it was not late at night, the neighborhood was too quiet.Occasionally, one or two residents who came back from get off work seemed to be swallowed by darkness after putting away their cars, and Wu Xie couldn't even see their backs clearly.

Unable to remember what Zhang Qiling told him, Wu Xie subconsciously took two steps back. Although he didn't see anything, he always felt that there was something unclean hidden in the darkness in front of him.That little dog is so human, so it must be changed by something, right?

The little dog that had already run to the front realized that Wu Xie hadn't followed, and turned back anxiously, and whimpered softly at Wu Xie's feet, his black eyes were full of eagerness.

And the more anxious he was, the more disturbed Wu Xie became.

Just when the puppy anxiously wanted to bite Wu Xie's trouser leg again, Wu Xie heard a man's voice suddenly coming from behind him, "Xiao Xi, don't bite!"

Startled and took two steps back, Wu Xie turned around and watched the man trotting all the way pick up the puppy who was also running towards him, and realized that this dog was really a domestic dog.

"I'm sorry, my dog ​​didn't bite you, did it?" The man holding the dog looked inexplicably familiar under the light of the garage.

"No, he didn't bite me." Looking suspiciously at the relieved look in the eyes of the dog in the man's arms, Wu Xie felt even more strange.I actually saw the look of 'relieved' from the dog's eyes? !

"That's good. I'm really sorry. He should be angry with me and blame me for kicking him out of the house." He flicked the dog's head affectionately, and the man's smile was full of apology. "I've been looking for him for a long time, but I didn't expect him to be here."

"Your dog is very good, and very cute." He said and petted the puppy lightly, but before Wu Xie could withdraw his hand, the dog in the man's arms suddenly howled in a low voice, He jumped out of his arms suddenly, bit his trouser leg and pulled Wu Xie behind him.

"Xiao Xi, what are you doing, don't make trouble!" Pulling his pants while looking at Wu Xie in embarrassment, before the man could explain anything, he heard a woman's voice behind him.Turning his head, he realized why the puppy reacted so suddenly. "Honey, don't come here, Xiao Xi is making a fuss, I'm afraid he will hurt you."

"Ah, it's okay, I won't go." The pale woman stood and looked at the man, but her gaze stayed on Wu Xie behind him. "Who is this?"

"Ah, yes—" Only then did he realize that he hadn't introduced himself to Wu Xie before, and the man said first, "My surname is Nian, what's your surname?"

He opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the name that was already on his lips for no reason.Wu Xie looked at the man surnamed Nian in front of him, and then at the woman opposite him, feeling more and more familiar as if they had met not long ago.But past experience tells Wu Xie that such familiarity is definitely not a good thing.

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Nodding his head, he hurriedly stepped up, but the puppy seemed to not want Wu Xie to leave, so he let go of his master's trouser leg and bit Wu Xie's trousers again.

"Xiao Xi!" He slapped the puppy gently on the head, and Mr. Nian smiled apologetically at Wu Xie, "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Shaking his head, Wu Xie watched the puppy struggling restlessly in his master's arms, whimpering and purring
