The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

In the next few days, Archer learned every day how to live as a human being, how to use chopsticks, how to talk, and of course how to wash dishes and mop the floor with a washing machine.He Lanba went out for morning exercises in the morning, and saw the dog boy outside the house standing on a small stool and hanging a pile of washed clothes on the rope. The clothes in the clothes, the underwear and socks are also washed together with the coat!Alas, forget it, this kid is not good at doing things, he just wants to be fresh.

Helanba watched Archer stand on the stool and hang up his underwear like a small flag. Helanba bought two pairs of children's underwear for him in the town. The little guy looked like he couldn't put it down while holding his underwear. A part of the tail protruded from the rolled-up trousers, wagging and wagging.At the beginning, this guy was quite against wearing underwear, probably because the dog Jiji was used to being free and easy outside, and suddenly he had to stuff it into the underwear to manage it, and he still couldn't turn the corner in his head.He Lanba often saw this guy running naked around the house, and he beat him every time he saw him. The dog covered his butt in puzzlement: "There is no one else at home!"

"Isn't it an eyesore for me?" He Lan said domineeringly, and the dog turned into a human, and he still needs to be trained, "You look good, or what?!"

Gou Xiaozi looked down at his man Jiji, and smiled: "It's pretty pretty!"

He Lanba slowly picked up the slippers.

These days, it took a long time to correct the matter of wearing clothes, but fortunately Archer never asked about Genglin City again, and He Lanba was half relieved.The patriarch traveled around, and before he left, he explained that the affairs of the clan would be taken care of by him temporarily (he has been in charge for three years!), and the temple was still waiting for him to bring someone to repair it, so he greeted Archer and went to the temple .

Archer watched Helan Ba's back go away, jumped off the small bench, ran into Helan Ba's study, searched for a long time on the bookcase, and found a map.

The dog boy excitedly unfolded an octavo map on the ground. The map is a map of the city and its surrounding areas. In terms of administrative division, Linggou Town also belongs to Genglin City, but everyone is accustomed to collectively refer to the three main districts of Genglin City as Genglin City. Lin City, including the upper and lower districts and the central district, the outer county is still called the outer county.Archer found the main city on the map, and he was confused at first glance. Linggou Town is in the lower right corner of the map, and the main city of Genglin is in the upper left corner.Spirit Dog Town is so big, on the map it is just as big as a thumb, so it seems that it is really far away.

Archer sat back on his heels in a daze, thinking of asking him with Xiaoxiu on the back mountain: ——Do you know the highest peak in the world?

—Wow woof woof!

——Not woof woof woof, but Qomolangma.

Everest... Archer looked out the window. Teacher He Lan once told him that it was a mountain in the sky.

Xiaoxiu is also determined to go to such a distant mountain.

When He Lanba came back in the evening, he was working on a manuscript in the study when the door opened quietly and a dog's paw stepped on it lightly.

"What's the matter?" Helan asked without raising his head.

"Teacher, can I keep my clothes by myself?" the poodle asked softly.

He Lanba frowned, and pretended to be nonchalant and continued to bury his head in the manga manuscript: "Okay, there is a shelf under the cabinet, go and get it yourself."

The son of a bitch walked to the wardrobe, pawed open the door a few times, and began to rummage through the clothes.

Ping, pang, splinter, clatter... He Lanba turned his head to look at Archer who was biting his clothes out of the closet, and said indifferently, "Shall I find something for you to wear?"

The little golden retriever turned his head and wagged his tail: "Wow!" That's really great!

He Lanba took a large luggage bag from under the bed.

Archer looked at the duffel bag that could only fit him whole, raised his head and asked, "Is there a smaller one?"

Helanba took out another mountaineering bag.

"Are there any smaller ones?"

Ten minutes later, Helanba watched as Archer spread a large piece of tablecloth on the ground, piled all the clothes on it in a mess, using claws and teeth together, and tossed and tossed for a long time before he packed a hideously ugly bundle.

The puppy looked up and wagged its tail at him, biting the cloth bag and dragging it all the way to the door.

The door was closed, and it was pushed open with a "squeak" after a while, and a dog's brain got into the crack of the door.

"What else is there?" He Lanba didn't look up.

"...Teacher, don't stay up late and smoke less."

He Lanba's heart sank, and he couldn't bear it any longer. When he turned around to speak, the dog's head had disappeared outside the door.

That night he went to the toilet several times, almost every half an hour. Every time he came out, the pup would sleep in the kennel obediently.He Lanba looked at the motionless little golden retriever with a complicated expression.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Archer got dressed and walked out of the bathroom, and looked at Teacher He Lan's room with some mixed emotions.The door of the room was closed tightly, and Teacher He Lan didn't go to bed until morning every day.

The dog boy stood in the living room and looked around. He Lanba was busy building temples these days, so he cleaned up and down the house, and finally cleaned the lamp tubes and window panes. Help He Lan He was very happy when the teacher washed the clothes and wiped the floor, but he also knew that there was too little he could do for Teacher He Lan.

There was a letter he left for Teacher He Lan on the coffee table. The handwriting was a bit ugly, and I don't know if the teacher could understand it.Last night he chose two sets of clothes and packed them, filled two bottles of water with mineral water bottles, tied the cloth bags on his back, and put a big peaked cap on his head. Just as the dog boy was about to step out of the house, suddenly He felt that something was wrong, and looked back, why the letter on the coffee table was different from the letter paper he used!

The dog boy fell back into the room suspiciously, picked up the letter and opened it, he was dumbfounded for a moment.

——You bastard, do you think I don’t know what tricks you’re playing these days?Now you can change into a human, and your wings are hardened?

Let me tell you, it takes two hours to go to Genglin City from here, even by train. Have you ever seen a train?You don't know anything and still want to go to Genglin City, you will starve to death halfway!Even if you arrive in Genglin City with half your life left, the entire upper district of Genglin City is a hundred times larger than Linggou Town, where can you find your Xiaoxiu?When you arrive in a big city, you are a proper stray dog. Stray dogs don’t understand. You are a beggar dog who has no owner and can only eat and sleep in the open every day. You have to fight with a lot of stray dogs every day. You have small arms and legs. Do you have to win?If you don't get bitten and eat it, you're lucky!Do you think big cities are the same as Spirit Dog Town, where you run around naked every day and no one cares about you?Let me tell you, the city is full of people who catch and beat dogs, and the number of dead dogs can fill a truckload every day!Do you think that if you can walk on two legs, you are very capable, and these unlucky things will never happen to you who are capable?So stupid and naive!Being caught, beaten and eaten is not the most terrifying thing. If someone finds out that you have turned into a human with dog ears and a dog tail, you will be treated as a freak and taken into the laboratory. A group of people will give you anesthesia every day. Open you up and see what kind of monster you are!

See if the tail is clamped here?If you are sensible, let me go back to the nest and lie down obediently. I will pretend that I have never heard of this matter.

There was a blank space when the letter was written here, and Archer skipped the blank space and continued to read.

——After all this, you still decided to go find that human?

Think again.does it worth?

At this point, the bottom of the letter paper was completely blank. Archer felt that the letter was obviously not finished, so he turned it over and found it on the back.

——Take this letter and go to Genglin City to find a man named Ren Hai. All cats and dogs in the city should have heard of him.

You bastard who doesn't cry until you see the coffin, how far will you die for me! !

This time the letter really came to an end.After reading it, Archer silently folded it and stuffed it into his pocket, rubbing his red eyes.

Teacher, thank you!I will definitely come back to repay your kindness of nurturing, even if I can’t repay you in this life, I will repay you as a dog in the next life!

He Lanba was sitting by the window. It was a bit dark in the study early in the morning. He was lighting a cigarette and held it in his hand but he hadn't smoked it for a long time. There was a letter from Archer on his lap.

——Teacher, I'm sorry, I still decided to find Xiaoxiu.Teacher, you said that reciprocating thoughts is the greatest virtue of a spirit dog. You said before that I don’t have the ability to reciprocate thoughts, but now I can be humanized, and I am no longer what I used to be.

Xiaoxiu Bujin is my miss, and also my first friend in this cup. He is different from the child of the spirit dog and pig, and different from all the human beings I have seen. I have never wanted to stay with a person so much. , with him, I just look at the sky together without talking, and I am happy, and being with Xiaoxiu makes everything around me different.

When I was hitting back, Xiaoxiu hurried back to me, and he told Ah Zi that I was his friend.Teacher, he said they are friends, not pets.So I'm going to find him.

Thank you teacher for taking care of me for so many years. When I complete the heart circle of Xiaoxiu, I will definitely bring Xiaoxiu back to the spirit dog town.

- Love you Archer

Archer went down the mountain wearing a pair of Doraemon's plastic slippers on his back. In the morning, Linggou Town was very lively. The students of Linggou Primary School were queuing up to do radio gymnastics. He passed by Want Want Non-staple Food Store, and the proprietress was helping to unload the goods from the truck. , the noodle restaurant opposite the door was full of diners, and the noodles were full of fragrance. Da Wang from the non-staple food shop and Goudan from the noodle shop were walking around under the table of the noodle shop, begging for food. When Da Wang turned around and saw him, he turned back blankly. Go over and continue begging for food.

Archer touched his shriveled stomach. The teacher had left a money bag on the coffee table, but he didn't take it. He just took a bag of steamed buns from the kitchen before leaving.The curly-haired little boy took out a steamed bun from the cloth bag, and just about to take a bite, he looked up at the endless road ahead, and then stuffed the steamed bun back.

Walking along the long road, the hustle and bustle of the small town disappeared behind. There were only passing cars on the road, and the raised dust was blowing on the wheat-colored face of the dog boy. The scenery ahead was far away and strange, full of unknowns.

But also full of expectations.
