The Return of Gratitude Volume 2

When he was about to walk in the classroom, Qin Xiu wrapped the puppy together with his coat, stuffed it into his schoolbag, and left the teaching building alone with the schoolbag on his back.

Archer stayed in his schoolbag obediently. When Xiaoxiu walked to the playground, several boys whistled: "Hey, isn't that our sister Xiaoxiu? Hahahaha, a great photographer who takes pictures with his fingers!"

That sneering tone was malicious at first, Archer felt that Xiaoxiu's footsteps stopped for a moment, and continued on his own way.

Xiaoxiu was very silent along the way, even when the proprietress of Xiaozhuang noodle restaurant called "Xiaoxiu, school is over", she just kept a straight face, and the proprietress muttered from behind, "Oh, this child is so beautiful, but he looks like a bun. People like it..." But Xiaoxiu's mood quickly improved once he arrived in Houshan.Archer looked at Xiaoxiu who was standing on a big rock looking at the town under the sunset.

"The scenery is beautiful, isn't it?"

Archer was a little admirable. Few children of this age dared to stand on such a high cliff. Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down at the dizzy height under his feet, he was a little trembling.

"The most beautiful scenery in this town is the Huoshaoyun in the summer evening, and it must be seen from here, otherwise the view will be blocked by buildings. This is the best place to shoot."

Archer looked up at Xiaoxiu who was facing the sunset with a proud face, and remembered the ridicule of the senior boys when he left school.

Do you like photography very much?

"Why do you always tie a soy sauce bottle?" Xiaoxiu bent down and picked him up, pulling the rope tied on Archer's back. The rope was a little elastic, bouncing on the puppy, "Then I might as well call you soy sauce."

Archer pricked up his ears, not agreeing, this name is a hundred times worse than Xiao Juan!

"Don't you like it?" Qin Xiu tilted his head and teased the unhappy puppy, "Soy sauce sounds very nice, and it fits your image very well."

"Wow woof! woof woof!" Don't call me soy sauce, choose a nicer name!

"Look soy sauce," Xiaoxiu didn't care what he was howling at all, hugged him and looked at a group of migratory birds flying overhead, "Those birds are demoiselle cranes, they are migratory birds, they migrate every year, do you understand migration? Just to survive, from one place to another, Demoiselle Crane is the only migratory bird that can fly over the highest peak in the world." Then he looked down at the soy sauce puppy in his arms, "Do you know the highest peak in the world? ?”

Archer thought the question was childish: "Wow woof woof!" Everest!

"It's not called Wang Wang Wang Wang, it's called Everest."

You did it on purpose.Archer groaned weakly and lay on Xiaoxiu's arm.

"One of my dreams is to one day photograph Demoiselle Cranes flying across the mountain from the summit of the highest mountain."

The dream he talked about when he was seven years old probably doesn’t count, but Xiaoxiu said it seriously, and Archer couldn’t help but raise his head. The setting sun shines on that beautiful and childish face, showing a kind of extraordinary courage.He always felt that one day Xiaoxiu would definitely stand on the top of the world's highest mountain, and he suddenly began to imagine that he would still be in Xiaoxiu's arms at that time, just like now, the two of them quietly looking at the waking earth beneath their feet .

Is this one of your dreams?So you still have a lot of dreams?Archer quietly wrote down this dream, maybe there is a clue that he can repay his kindness hidden in it.However, Everest...it sounds so far away, I don't know how far it is from Spirit Dog Town.

Since then, making soy sauce has become the happiest thing for Archer in his daily life. Every time he finishes making soy sauce, he will sneak into the playground of Spirit Dog Primary School, finish physical education class, Chinese class with Xiaoxiu, and eat eggs in the drawer Huang Pai, and then the two happily went to the back mountain together.

In this way, Archer also learned more about Xiaoxiu. Xiaoxiu had many dreams, photographing demoiselle cranes, humpback whales, stratospheric giants, General Sherman, Hyperion, those worlds Archer wanted to say several times to the tallest redwood trees, in fact, your dream is to become a photographer!

On the way to Houshan that day, Xiaoxiu accidentally stopped outside a gift house, which was newly opened. Archer raised his head with difficulty, only to realize that Xiaoxiu was looking at the toy camera in the window of the gift house.The toy camera was really exquisite, if it wasn't because it was a gift house, he would have thought it was a real camera.The son of a bitch lay on the window and stretched his neck to look at the price. It was a bit expensive, and he looked up at Xiaoxiu who was staring at the window desperately. Was there not enough money?

He still has Teacher He Lan's purse around his neck, which contains money for making soy sauce, but the non-staple food store is not open today.

Qin Xiu was staring at the toy camera in a daze, when his trousers were suddenly pulled.He lowered his head and saw that the soy sauce was biting his trouser leg, and the money bag around his neck was dangling.

"Are you asking me to buy a camera with this?"

"Wow!" Soy Sauce wagged its tail.

Xiaoxiu knelt down, but did not take the money bag: "This can't be done, it's for buying soy sauce. It's wrong to do this."

Archer stared blankly at Xiaoxiu, whose eyes were black and white, his integrity and earnestness made him feel extremely ashamed.His head was rubbed lightly again: "But thank you."

Qin Xiu touched his pocket. He still had some pocket money, but it was definitely not enough to buy that toy camera, but... the little boy looked at a plush doll hanging in the store, that should be enough to buy it.But boys look good when they buy dolls...

After thinking about it, he lowered his head and said to Soy Sauce who had been squatting at his feet waiting for him: "Soy Sauce, close your eyes."

Archer was puzzled, but seeing Xiaoxiu's serious expression, he still closed his eyes reluctantly.

Qin Xiu turned around and walked into the gift room. Turning around at the gate, he saw the little golden retriever who squinted his eyes and peeked in secretly, then quickly closed it. The bastard with the expression, lost his height and headed towards the road, and then walked into the gift room with peace of mind.

The clerk took down the doll hanging on the wall and handed it to Qin Xiu. Qin Xiu took the plush doll, stuffed it into his schoolbag and fastened it, and then walked out of the gift shop as if nothing had happened.

Archer heard a sad and regretful tone from the person behind him: "Ah, after looking at it, there is nothing to buy."

It's too fake, okay? !You must have bought something disgraceful!The son of a bitch looked at Xiaoxiu who was walking ahead as if nothing had happened, sighed, shook his head and followed.

The two went to the back mountain again. Xiaoxiu, who was usually tense like a small iceberg in school, would relax completely at this time, with his thumb and index finger framing the lens with both hands, resembling a Take pictures of the plot.

Archer felt like a little photographer in that way.His benefactor must have made a terrific photographer.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Xiaoxiu bent down and picked up the soy sauce beside him.

Archer was very helpless, thinking that I have four legs, can I walk by myself, please don't treat me as a pet!I am a dignified spirit dog, and...he looked up at Xiaoxiu who didn't know what he was thinking, and whispered in his heart, that way you will be disappointed.

I can play with you and go to class with you, but I will never be yours alone.

After walking for a while, Xiaoxiu suddenly stopped, frowned, looked around, and whispered to himself: "There is no toilet near here..." Then he seemed to hesitate, walked towards the bushes, bent down to put the soy sauce on his feet He said "wait for it".

When Archer saw Xiaoxiu turned his back, he began to loosen his pants, and suddenly realized that the other party wanted to relieve himself, so he turned red and ran away.I still have lingering fears when I run to the open space outside the bushes, this girl is too... too shameless!How can I say that I am also a male, how dare I pee in front of my face?

After Qin Xiu pissed and stuffed Xiaojiji, he turned his head. The little guy who had been placed in the grass disappeared. He walked out wonderingly, only to see Xiaojuan peeing with one hind leg under a big tree. hair.

As soon as Archer finished pissing, before he could put his legs down, he felt his feet lifted off the ground.

"Shake it off after peeing." Qin Xiu held the puppy and shook it solemnly from side to side.

ah! ! !Archer hung his legs, looked at his penis exposed to the other party for the second time, howled in shame, and wanted to die.

He Lanba leaned against the door with folded arms charmingly, looking at Archer who was jumping up and down in the study and rummaging through boxes and cabinets: "You've been making soy sauce for longer and longer these days."

Archer was startled, jumped off the chair, and asked barking, "Teacher, I remember you have an old camera, is it still there?"

"Yes, why are you asking this?"

Archer has never mentioned the matter with Xiaoxiu to Helanba, and with Helanba's temper, if he knew that he was so close to a human being, he would definitely be angry, so he could only skip the question: "Do you still use the camera? "

The old-fashioned film machine was a souvenir gift from the photographer friend who helped Archer take the birth photos. He also played with it later, but the film machine was too troublesome to use, and it was inconvenient to develop and buy film. Helanba later bought a SLR camera online. This old compact camera has long been useless.

Handing the film machine to Archer, the little dog was so happy. Helanba watched the little guy quietly, but didn't ask what he wanted to ask.Archer is an unwelcome alien in the spirit dog tribe, and being bullied by his peers is considered a good thing. In the eyes of some extreme spirit dog tribesmen, the inhumane Archer has long been like the dog tied up in the human yard. It's no different.

Archer is still young, and still holding on to hope, he can live a heartless life even if he is bullied and discriminated against. Forget about the pain.And this was the first time this guy showed what could be called a "happy" expression.

No matter what made him find this happiness, He Lanba couldn't bear to stop it.

Qin Xiu was stunned when he saw a camera carried by Soy Sauce. After a long time, he said dumbly: "Is it... for me?"

"Woof!" A gift for you!

"It belongs to your master, doesn't he mind?"

"Wang!" The teacher didn't mind at all!

"Do you really mind?"

"Wang!"

"...Can I really accept it?"

Archer has never seen Xiaoxiu ask so many questions in one breath like now, and ask them so carefully. In his eyes, this powerful little girl has always been cool and domineering.He didn't answer the last question, but bent down on his front legs.

If I have two hands, how much I want to hold them in your hands.

Qin Xiu squatted down and untied the rope on Xiao Curly's back, and took off the heavy camera case.

"Actually, no matter what I ask, you'll just bark," Qin Xiu looked at the sparkling soy sauce, "but this time I trust you."

Maybe this camera was stolen from the owner by Soy Sauce, maybe it was right to return it, but this time, the little boy thought, let me just believe it.

Open the box, in addition to a small film machine, there is a photo.

In the photo is a newborn pup with curly hair, exaggeratedly raised above its head by a pair of hands, the pup is only about the size of a palm, and even its eyes are squinted.This picture is reminiscent of the scene when Simba was born in "The Lion King", as if he heard the particularly emotional prelude of the theme song "Endless Life", but the guy in the photo is not a lion cub, of course he can recognize it is soy sauce.

"Give me this too?"

"Woof!" A handsome photo of me was randomly presented!

Archer saw Xiaoxiu took off his schoolbag and put the photos into the locked notebook: "I will cherish it."
