The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

Wagner returned to his noisy style. When they were descending the mountain, they passed a family's cornfield. At night, Wagner actually came to call Archer, saying that they were going to break the corn.

"People's corn is used to sell money. It's not good to steal." Archer flatly refused, took out a sweet potato from his bag and handed it to Wagner, wagging his tail and said, "Let's eat sweet potatoes!"

Wagner was speechless when he saw the twinkling eyes of this son of a bitch, and had no pursuit at all.

Because Wagner insisted on going, Archer was worried that he would go alone, so he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

Unexpectedly, something big happened this time - Wagner's foot was caught in a trap.

When the iron mouse pliers clicked and closed, Archer only heard a heart-piercing scream. Wagner's foot was already injured, and this time it was not clamped lightly. In addition, he struggled a few times out of instinct. , the more he struggled, the deeper the sawtooth pierced. When Archer rushed over, his leg was bloody and his bones were exposed.

Niuniu was also frightened when she saw them coming back. Archer tore the clothes he brought in the bundle with his teeth, and the dog's paw and pig's trotter hurriedly helped Wagner bandage the wound.The pain caused by the tumor and the pain on the foot were superimposed, and the black schnauzer fell to the ground, twitching and moaning in pain. Archer and Niuniu could only watch helplessly.

That night was extremely long, and Archer only looked forward to the early dawn, and that kind of strong expectation was second only to the weekend when he and Xiaoxiu parted.I thought that everything would be fine at dawn, even if I temporarily limped my leg, Wagner would definitely be able to jump up and down again as before, after all, I still have three legs, right?

But the next morning, Wagner was still lying on the ground, breathing heavily and long.Archer touched him lightly with the injured dog's paw, and Wagner burned like hell.Niuniu also came over, and sadly pushed Wagner who was motionless on the ground with her trotter.

The black schnauzer struggled to open his eyes, his eyes were cloudy and covered with lumps of things, he lowered his eyelids and looked at the puppies and piglets beside him: "I may not be able to leave, you go on your own... "

Niuniu was so sad that Archer suddenly turned around and ran away.

Wagner just has a fever, just drink more water when you have a fever!Teacher He Lan used to feed him a big bowl of water when he had a fever.

Archer ran all the way up the hill and back to the pigsty.Several domestic pigs were huddled in the sink to drink water. They had only drank half of it when they heard a plop. A large mineral water bottle fell into the sink. When the big pigs looked up, the golden retriever puppy who came to steal the water climbed up the sink again. , I am using my claws to soak the mineral water bottle in the sink to catch the water.

The leading domestic pig pushed the puppy off the edge of the sink with its snout, and Archer fell down with a crackling sound. The mineral water bottle also fell down, and the water in it spilled all over the floor.

The domestic pigs laughed loudly above the sink: "Haha, this is called a dog eating shit!"

The puppy got up, picked up the bottle and climbed up again, woof woof!woof woof!

My friend is sick!Give me some water!

The big pigs didn't sympathize with him, and worked together to push the pup down again: "This is our water!"

Archer turned over again, barking and yelling angrily, "He'll get very sick if he doesn't drink water!"

"What does it matter to us?" the pigs hummed.

"How can you give me water!"

Domestic pigs, look at me and I look at you. The leading pig said: "You can ask for water, come and clean up our pigsty. If you do a good job, I will give you the water."

Archer looked at the pigsty, the pigsty was huge, and the haystack was full of feces and urine: "Okay! Say what you say!"

"Hurry up and do your work! What are you dawdling about!"

"Wipe the floor as soon as you wipe the floor, why are you twisting your ass, you are so cute?"

"Twist to see again, haha!"

"Do you still dare to fart at us?!"

Archer was busy mopping the floor and arranging the hay. The big pigs followed him all the way and laughed at him. They even slammed his butt badly. He was kicked to the ground several times, but he still gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to rush over and bite. .

In the first lesson of coming to the big city, he learned patience and understood that there is nothing free in the city, whether it is corn on the cob or water, you cannot get it without paying a price.

Wagner fell into a coma, waking up and talking nonsense for a while and then falling asleep. Niuniu was in a hurry, and it was not until noon that he saw Archer, who was smelly and dirty, running back panting with a bottle full of water.

Wagner drank half a bottle of water while half asleep and half awake, and fell asleep again. Archer lay beside him, looking at him without saying a word.

Niuniu pulled the bag over, and the sweet potato rolled out of the bag: "Brother, you should eat something too."

The poodle turned to look at Niuniu: "Will Wagner get better?"

Niu Niu looked at those moist, apprehensive and expectant eyes, and was speechless. It would be fine if it was just a leg injury, but Wagner was already a terminally ill dog.She felt that the injury on his leg was the last straw that crushed him, and he might really not be able to hold on.

Wagner had been in a coma for two days, and finally woke up the next night.

"Wagner! You're awake!" Archer stood up excitedly, wagging his tail.

Wagner glanced weakly at the pup and the teacup pig beside him, and rolled his eyes weakly: "He hasn't left yet, what a worrying guy..."

Niu Niu was so sad that she didn't know what to say, she looked at Archer and leaned over: "We'll wait for you to go with us!" The golden retriever sniffed Wagner's neck with his nose, and said in a buzzing and soft voice, "Hurry up!" Get up Wagner, let's go together."

Wagner narrowed his eyes: "You can talk to me for a while..."

A dog and a pig are so quietly accompanying the black schnauzer.It is said that it is to accompany the conversation, but in fact Wagner is almost talking alone.He talked about his master, and this was the first time Archer and Niuniu heard Wagner talk about their master.

Archer originally thought that Wagner, like Niuniu, was abandoned by his master, but when Wagner talked about his master, his eyes shone with happiness.

"...I was only two months old when I saw the old man for the first time. The old man lived alone, and his children gave me to him, saying that it was a good companion." Wagner squinted his eyes and said softly, As if lost in memory, "My first impression of the old man was very bad. My sons and daughters asked him this and that. I didn’t even like him very much. He sent me to sit for a while and then left. The old man was even worse. He left me alone in a cardboard box and went into the house by himself...

"Grandpa, I can't climb out of the cardboard box. I shit and piss in the box. He doesn't care about me. After three days, I threw two pancakes in. My teeth haven't even grown, so I can gnaw on it... I can just pull it hard." He stinks to death. The old man has a cleanliness habit, so he couldn't stand it anymore, so he changed my mattress. I heard him complaining about me while changing my mattress, 'I'm so old, I still need to find me a The milk bastard is coming to torment me', I knew that my life would not be easy..." Speaking of this, my body shivered, "Oh, I'm so cold, you guys come closer to me..."

Archer and Niuniu glanced at each other, they were already very close, pressing against Wagner's body to help him keep warm, and all the clothes in the bag were covering Wagner's body.

Archer gasped at Wagner's trembling body: "Is this better?"

"Okay, Mimi, why is it so cold today..." Wagner gasped.

Niu Niu hurriedly said: "You continue to talk, and then?"

"The old man is so cold-blooded that it is outrageous..." Wagner continued to recall.

The old man was very indifferent to Wagner, and treated him as a decoration in the living room. In the beginning, Wagner was often not full, but he would not die of hunger. The old man would feed him with some soup and water when he ate .

One person and one dog disliked each other, but they lived together peacefully for a long time. The old man loved to listen to classical music. Wagner, who had no name at that time, was often tortured by the roar of sound cannons when he was still in a cardboard box.

One night, the old man was listening to Bernstein's Tchaikovsky's "Pathetique". Suddenly, the power went out, and the room was completely dark. I couldn't sleep without listening to music, and I was so gloating that I curled up in a particularly comfortable way to sleep, and even snored on purpose.

Sure enough, the old man was upset, and came over and knocked on his box with his cane: "Hey, hey!"

Wagner didn't bother to pay attention to him, and fell asleep by himself.

The old man bent down with a flashlight to see if he was really asleep: "Just pretend, aren't you alive and kicking at this point?" Seeing that he ignored him, he said, "You don't like me, actually. I don't like you either. What are you talking about? Find me a partner. It's fine if those guys don't come to see me. I can't even take care of myself. If you want me to take care of you, why don't you tell me? "

Wagner thought about it and felt that what he said actually made sense.

The old man moved a stool to sit in front of him, shone a flashlight on him and began to mutter: "Actually, you are quite pitiful, but I have no obligation to take care of you. I have been tired of pulling those useless things for half my life. Now I'm old and I still have to pull a dog." Then it was quiet for a long time, "But you are an easy dog ​​to keep."

Wagner is talking nonsense, you only change my water once you think about it, and feed me a meal of leftovers every day, sir, I don’t grow up very well.

That night the old man sat there chatting with him for a long time, and every time he said a paragraph and saw that he didn't respond, he would knock on the cardboard box with his cane, and he would look up and stare at him, and then the old man continued talking.

Later, the old man fell down in the toilet and fainted. Wagner heard the movement, turned over the box and ran to the toilet. When he saw it, he was frightened. He eats, feeds and drinks, but he is only a half-year-old dog. At that time, all he could do was bark all night on the cold and windy balcony. I got impatient and called the property management.

The old man saved his life. During the hospitalization, Wagner was locked at home alone. He didn’t eat for five consecutive days. When he was dying of hunger, the old man came back.

Wagner saw that the old man came back from the hospital after only staying for five days. Although he was a little surprised, he was still very happy in his heart. It was not because he applauded the old man's cockroach-like vitality, but that he had some soup to eat anyway.

The old man came back with a big bag of things. When he entered the door, he glanced at him and didn’t say anything. Then he ping-pong on the dining table for a long time. Wagner called twice, saying that you should go to the kitchen and get me something to eat. Yeah, I'm almost hungry for a photo, okay!

Then the old man turned around, and Wagner was dumbfounded when he saw it. The old man held a box of milk in his hand and poured it into his drinking plate, and poured some dog food into his eating plate.

This is the first time I have seen dog food Wagner, and I am not particularly interested, but milk!It was so fragrant!

After that, Wagner's food has been completely improved. Although the old man still often forgets to change the water for him, the treatment is not a quantitative change, but a qualitative change compared to before!

One person and one dog live together like this.The old man sometimes listened to classical music, and Wagner would interject, saying, "Wow! This sounds good!" "Wow, woof! This is too loud!"

The old man just likes to listen to noisy things, he doesn't look like a well-behaved old man at all, he especially likes to listen to Wagner and Mahler.Wagner, who had no name at that time, preferred to listen to Brahms.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, let Brahms play for you!"

The old man fell asleep listening to Brahms' Piano Concerto No. [-]. Wagner looked up at the old man's dozing side face, thinking, for better or for worse, this man will be my master from now on.

One time, the owner’s committee came to issue a survey form. As soon as the auntie of the committee came in, she was amazed to see him barking in the cardboard box: “Oh, Qu, you still have a dog. Why have you never seen you go for a walk?”

It is said that Wagner stopped calling, and he has a good impression of the owner's committee member. He has not been in the ground for half a year.

The aunt of the owner's committee asked the old man what the dog's name was, and the old man said impatiently, "It's called Chihuo."

Wagner is about to vomit blood, you are quite fashionable!Do you know foodies?

Later, the old man would take him with him when he went downstairs for a walk, but he seemed reluctant, but Wagner was very happy. Seeing the open cage and the long-lost vast world, tears filled his eyes.

He was having fun on the grass, and he heard people chatting with the old man, people asked, when did you get a dog, old Qu, but your dog is too shapeless, this is a schnauzer, it looks good when you tidy it up, BLABLABLA...

Wagner didn't think there was anything wrong with being in such a wild state, but the success of the old man's words made him vomit three liters of blood.

"It's good enough to feed him, and he's doing styling..." After a while, he said, "Is the Schnauzer a good dog?"

Others said yes, it costs one or two thousand outside, so it is considered a luxury dog.

Wagner held his head high, knowing that I am of noble blood.The old man looked at him curiously.

When he was one year old, all the other dogs were handsome, tall, rich and handsome, but he was the only one with messy hair growing wildly, and he looked like a rough guy. The Bai Fumei in the community avoided him when they saw him.Then one day, the old man actually took him out of the community, across the overpass and onto the street.

Wagner ran happily for a while, and heard the old man calling him from behind: "Hey! Hey!"

You named me Foodie, did you forget?Wagner fell back weakly, and saw the old man stop at the entrance of a store with an embarrassed expression on his face.When he looked up, hey, it turned out to be a pet store!

The old man held him cautiously and pushed the door open to enter the pet shop. The clerk came up to him and asked him what he needed.

"Shear this dog." The old man said, his tone was so cowardly, it made him laugh.

The clerks brought him a set of washing, cutting and blowing. When the clerk was cutting, the clerk wanted to ask him to cooperate and not to move around, so she turned around and asked, "Master, what's the name of this dog?"

The old man was stunned for a while, looked at him, and said amidst the crackling scissors, "His name is Wagner."

...It's not a foodie, it's Wagner, the old man's favorite composer.Wagner himself was taken aback.

"Come on, Wagner, don't move." The shop assistant supported his chin and began to cut his beard.He didn't move.Although he prefers Brahms to Wagner, he remains motionless.

The old man just took it casually, just like a foodie, and he might be called Mahler again when he is brought to the shearing after a while.Wagner, who followed the old man out of the store after washing, cutting and blowing, thought bitterly.

The old man took him back to his residence, and when he got into the elevator, the girl who was in primary school upstairs was also out of school. The little girl bent down and touched his head, and whispered, "You're so cute, what's your name?"

Then he heard the old man yell in the elevator, "Wagner, let's go."

Archer and Niuniu listened silently to Wagner talking about these past events.The weak Schnauzer complained about the cold several times, so Archer and Niuniu simply laid their whole bodies on him.

Wagner snorted, and continued: "I have lived with the old man for nine years. I got a tumor half a year ago. The old man took me to pet hospitals all over the city, but there was no cure."

Niu Niu whimpered and sniffed with tears in her eyes.

"Later, the old man was getting worse day by day. He suffered from pulmonary heart disease and went to the hospital several times for emergency treatment. He never came back the last time... His children came to move the things in the house, and the house was going to be rented out. On the day the moving company came, I went to the hospital by myself. Gone..." Wagner said lightly, "That is my master, the only master in this life."

"You told me you were abandoned, but you weren't..." Archer pressed against Wagner's back, feeling sad and glad.

"His sons and daughters were planning to find a place to throw me away, but in fact I left by myself." The black schnauzer said, his breath getting weaker and weaker, "Karajan, maybe your Xiaoxiu won't abandon you, maybe Yes, maybe not now, maybe in the future, maybe he doesn't want to abandon you, but the people around him will... I hope he loves you, I hope you and Argerich can be happy."

The teacup pig howled, "Stop talking..."

Wagner lay softly on the ground, looking up at the moon: "Why is the moon so bright today, like the sun..."

The black schnauzer looked directly at the brighter and brighter moon, and suddenly saw the silver moonlight bursting out like the sun, and the surroundings were bright. At first, the voices of Archer and Niu Niu could be heard, and gradually these sad voices faded away. Gone away like a cloud.

A familiar voice shone in like light:

"Wagner, let's go."
