The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

After Wagner died, Archer and Niuniu dug a large earth pit under an old tree and buried Wagner.

The journey without Wagner has become extraordinarily quiet.They went all the way down the mountain according to the route Wagner had said before. There was a long road at the foot of the mountain. After walking for more than half an hour, they finally saw the sign above the road, and Genglin City was five kilometers ahead.

Should be happy, but Archer couldn't be.

The little golden retriever and the teacup pig walked slowly along the road.Niuniu stopped suddenly, and Archer turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My leg is cramp," whispered the teacup pig with his head down.

Archer felt very sorry. Although he had slowed down, it was still very hard for the teacup pig to catch up with him. He turned around and said, "Let's rest for a while."

A dog and a pig lay side by side by the road.Archer looked at the cars coming and going in front of him. After a long journey of more than a month, he finally arrived at the city where Xiaoxiu was.The road leading to Xiaoxiu was filled with dust, which made him miss the clean and fresh air in Linggou Town and the fragrance of grass and trees after the rain.

In fact, Niuniu really wanted to persuade the little golden retriever not to go looking for him. Firstly, Genglin City is so big that the chances of finding him are very slim, and secondly, even if they do find him, they may not be able to stay together.But secretly, she also felt that if she couldn't find it all the time, it seemed good for her to accompany Archer to search for it all the time, but if she did find it, she would be separated from him instead, and then she would be separated from him again. is alone.

"Niu Niu," the golden retriever puppy on the side spoke first, "If you don't want to accompany me to Genglin City, don't force it."

Niuniu finally stood up uncontrollably: "Brother, it's not bad for us to be like this. We are free and we can go wherever we want. Why do we have to find Xiaoxiu? We can also live our own lives!"

Archer squinted at the clouds floating above his head, and if he only looked at the sky, for a moment it was like returning to Houshan where he and Xiaoxiu played after school every day: "You're right..."

Niuniu thought there was a turning point, but then saw the golden retriever puppy turned to her and said:

"Maybe I can live my own life without Xiaoxiu, and there's nothing wrong with living my own life, but I don't know why, I just want to be with Xiaoxiu, as long as we can be together..."

——Then you will leave Spirit Dog Town and live alone with a human in a big city. Maybe you can only be his pet in this life.You won't have friends, you won't have your own life, you only have him.

Teacher He Lan's warning rang in his ears, but the strong voice in his heart overwhelmed the teacher's words in an instant.

As long as we can be together... even if I am a pet dog, I am willing.

Niu Niu knew that the other party had made up her mind, she lowered her head in disappointment, just as she opened her mouth to say something, a shadow suddenly fell over her head, and immediately after that, she heard a "Wow!"

"Ha, got it!"

She looked up in surprise when she heard the sound, only to see the golden retriever puppy was pinched by the neck with a long pliers by a man, and it was lifted into the air.

Niuniu was so horrified that her mind went blank. The man seemed to be targeting Archer, and didn't notice her at all. She could only stare blankly at the golden retriever puppy struggling on the pliers and being quickly taken away.

A tall and large truck was parked in front of the road. Archer looked at the cargo box of the big truck, which was tightly covered with canvas. He didn't know what was under the heavy canvas, but the gray-black mass in the sunlight There was a dead, tomb-like aura from under him, which made him feel ominous, and he struggled desperately.

The man walked over, and his companion put down the rear panel of the carriage and lifted the canvas with a clatter.Archer suddenly stopped struggling.

There are densely packed small iron cages on the rear compartment. There are hundreds of dogs in the cages. There are pet dogs and domestic dogs, small dogs and strong dogs. The cages are all of the same size. Some of them stuffed two puppies, while some larger dogs had to be hunched over in cages that were so cramped that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

He looked at those of his kind, and they looked at him, but no one called out. Those empty and hopeless eyes made Archer wake up like a dream.

"Aww! Aww!!"

let me go!let me go! !

"The dog is quite strong!" The man held the dog trap with both hands, and his companion jumped into the carriage to find an empty cage.There was a smell of unwashed blood in the cage. Archer was roughly stuffed in. He turned his head and wanted to rush out, but his nose hit the cage door which was slammed cruelly.

The cage containing him was tied up high and tied up. Archer struggled in the cage and clanked loudly. Wang Wangwang screamed with all his strength. He didn't know what else he could do except shout, but he couldn't do nothing. To the left and right were other cages, and the sick, dirty dogs just looked at him numbly.He doesn't want to be like them.

The two men were smoking and chatting behind the cargo box, discussing how much the truckload of dogs could fetch.Only then did Archer know that they were all going to be shipped to restaurants to be sold as ingredients.After smoking, one of the men went to the side of the road to find a convenient place, and the other looked back at him who was still barking unrelentingly, cursed "Call me a P", and got into the car.

After a while, the man came back, jumped into the carriage and tidied up the iron cage, put the empty cage outside, and covered the heavy canvas again.

With a huff, it was pitch black in front of him, and Archer felt the car tremble in the darkness, and drove forward.

Archer tried his best in the cage, biting his teeth and claws to break it off. His teeth bled and his nails broke off, but it didn't help.The car drove for a while, and the exhausted little golden retriever suddenly heard a voice calling his name in the dark.

He pricked up his ears and suddenly recognized that it was Niuniu.

"Niuniu! Niuniu, I'm here!" The little golden retriever stood up excitedly.

There was the sound of piglets kicking and stomping in the carriage, and Archer ran around in a hurry in the cage. After his eyes got used to the darkness, and his nose could distinguish the position of the teacup pig from the chaotic smell, Archer leaned against the cage. Looking down, the small figure of the teacup pig is struggling to climb up a vertical row of more than a dozen cages.Those cages are piled up to a height of two meters. With the size of a teacup pig, it is like a human climbing ten floors with his bare hands.

Archer looked terrified, seeing the shadow of the teacup pig flickering: "Be careful!"

A St. Bernard stretched out its paws to give Niuniu a hand, so Niuniu didn't fall.

"Thank you, big brother downstairs!" Archer hurriedly thanked, and said to the other dogs in the cage, "Please help her, let her come up, she is my friend!"

Under his repeated pleading, many dogs extended a helping hand. When Niu Niu crawled to his cage, the little pig's face was covered with sweat and tears, and it groaned sadly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry brother! If I hadn't let you rest on the side of the road, you wouldn't have been caught up..."

"What are you talking about, it's not your fault!" The golden retriever comforted her through the cage, "How did you get in the car?"

"I saw that man walking down the hillside, so I got into his pocket..." Niu Niu broke down in tears and said, she really wanted to say that I came to save you, don't worry, I will definitely save you, but with her head, she said so It's more depressing than saying nothing.

"Don't cry," the poodle comforted the teacup pig with a relaxed tone. Niu Niu actually took such a big risk to find him, and he was suddenly moved with no regrets, "Look, you can climb up to find me, I'm so good, I can run out as soon as I get the chance!"

Niuniu looked at the little golden retriever's vigorously wagging tail, feeling extremely sad.

The car drove all the way for a long time, although sometimes it would stop for a while, but it was just waiting for a red light or passing a toll booth, so the so-called opportunities were not seen at all.Archer felt more and more hopeless.

"... Niuniu."

The teacup pig was very tired, so it fell asleep in the gap of the cage. Archer was afraid that she would fall, so he kept pulling her.Called by Archer, the teacup pig quickly opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"You get down now," Archer said. "If the car stops at a red light later, you get out of the car."

"Why?" The teacup pig was anxious, "I want to stay with you, didn't you just say that there might be a turnaround?!"

"If there is a chance, I can definitely run away. But in case, I mean in case," the little poodle lowered his eyes, "I don't want you to see my decapitated body." Not to mention turning into a pile of dog meat up...

What he said was very serious, but Niuniu burst out laughing as soon as he said it.

The little golden retriever was confused by the laughter.

"Brother, who did you learn this from? This is a line in a TV series. When the male protagonist was about to be sent to the execution ground, he shouted to the female protagonist in the prison car: 'I don't want you to see my body-head- - different - place -'"

The teacup pig howled, and the two dogs beside him couldn't help laughing, and the sad atmosphere was diluted by Mimi.

Niuniu is determined to stay, Archer doesn't know what to say, his life in Spirit Dog Town is peaceful and safe, but he has no friends, Xiaoxiu also left, the outside world is difficult and dangerous, but he has Niuniu and Wagner .

The car got on the viaduct, and the speed increased dramatically. Occasionally, the heavy canvas was blown out of a crack by the wind, and a ray of sunlight leaked in, so bright, but so far away.

Niuniu fell asleep again, and Archer squinted his eyes in the cage, looking at the thin ray of sunlight.He may never see Xiaoxiu again, and he will never be able to repay the teacher for nurturing him. His life is so short, although he has regrets, he has no regrets.He went all out to pursue his own happiness, he lived up to his promise to Xiaoxiu, and he also has friends who will live and die together. It would be perfect if he could repay the teacher a little bit, but the teacher said that there is no perfect thing in the world.

The car drove for an unknown how long, and finally stopped. This time, it stopped for a long time. There were noisy voices outside, and the door opened. Archer guessed that he had arrived at his destination.Niu Niu was also awake, clutching his paw tightly, he could feel Niu Niu's little trotters trembling.

wow.

The heavy canvas was lifted, and the light of the setting sun poured down.

Archer raised his neck and heard the sound of the truck being lowered, followed by the commotion of some dogs in the cage. After a while, the cage in front of him was lifted and moved away.

Three or five young people climbed up from the carriage and were busy moving the cage down.

He thought that these people should all have the same hideous appearance as the man who grabbed him, but he saw one of the young men opening the cramped cage, holding out the St. Bernard, and stroking the other's cock which could not stand upright due to fear and long-term oppression. Back, and said softly: "It's okay, you are safe."

Niuniu was also surprised, when the cage shook a bit, and someone lifted their cage.

"Oh, there's a teacup pig hanging out of this little golden retriever cage."

Archer heard the funny voice of the person carrying the cage, and his cage was quickly moved under the car. A young woman took the cage and was taken aback for a moment.

"...Niu Niu? Is it Niu Niu?!"

Archer saw Niuniu with an unbelievable expression on his face, and yelled: "Master! Master!"

The young woman put the cage at her feet, held the teacup pig excitedly, and shouted to her companions behind her: "Oh my God! I found my girl!"

"Is it really it?" The companions gathered around one after another.

"Really! I recognize her pattern, and there is a scar on her butt!"

Archer looked up at the young people carrying the cages in the cage. They all had a sign with a red heart on their chests, which said "Ann's Foundation Animal Protection Association".After listening to Niuniu's master, Archer realized that Niuniu was not abandoned, but was accidentally forgotten by the hostess in the hotel during a trip. Although the hostess immediately went back to look for it, the hotel staff also I don't know where to throw the humble piglet, which makes Niuniu think that she was left on purpose.Seeing Niu Niu reunited with his master and resolving the misunderstanding, the little golden retriever wagged his tail and was really happy for her.

"Is this your friend?" Niu Niu's owner squatted down, opened the cage, and the little golden retriever came out quickly, finally regaining freedom.

"You still carry a burden! Is the hair naturally curly?" The hostess smiled and stroked his curly hair. "Wandering is hard work. I'll take you back to Huaigang and find a good home for you."

Niuniu also looked at him expectantly: "Come on, little brother!"

The hostess put the little pig in her pocket, and was about to pick up the little golden retriever, but the little puppy gently avoided it.

The curly-haired puppy raised his head and wagged his tail: "Wow woof! woof woof!"

Goodbye, Niuniu!I wish you happiness!I want to find my happiness too!

Niuniu poked her head out of the owner's pocket, lay on the side of the pocket and watched the golden retriever leave with a bundle on her back, with red eyes.

The hostess lowered her head and gently stroked the tearful little pig: "He is a very smart dog, he must know what he is going to do."

Niuniu sniffed the palm of her master's hand, so familiar with such a long-lost smell.

You are right, bro.I don't know why, I just want to be together.
