Chapter 40: parents, dog meat, a little past.

After talking with Guanlan Zhao, Xiaochi Chi drove the car away from the hospital.

Wenyi Su's father had arrived in Toronto yesterday afternoon with the intention of filing second-degree murder charges against Kai Zhou," he said. I made an appointment with him to talk to him."

061 reminded him, " Changqing Shen's parents are on the plane this evening."

Xiaochi Chi was silent.

061 immediately sensed that the topic was wrong: "...... Where are we going now?"

Xiaochi Chi turned a corner and headed for Erpu He's veterinary hospital.

He couldn't guess what was on 061's mind, but the thoughtfulness made him a little uncomfortable.

Xiaochi Chi laughed: "...... six teachers, you think I am made of glass ah."

His silence is not a reflection on his own family's shit, but mainly because he's not very good at dealing with any of his relatives, including his "parents".

Xiaochi Chi said to 061 while driving: "When my mother was young, she was also considered a flower in the factory, there were many men chasing after her, my father was the one who chased her the hardest. She originally did not want to marry my father, and then accidentally had me, it can not be helped. Later, when they quarrel to dislike me, here said not because I would not marry, there said not because I would not marry. So in the end, they two adults can not live a good life, all blame me a embryo."

Xiaochi Chi never mentions these words in public, so this is the first time 061 knows about them.

Xiaochi Chi speaks too easily and with a little smile.

This is how many times the scars have been uncovered to be able to talk about the past with such ease and skill.

Xiaochi Chi turned: "Later, I learned to be smart, they have the first signs of a fight, I ran to Lou's house."

Xiaochi Chi remembers running downstairs in her pajamas and knocking on Ying Lou's door in the middle of the night.

The walls of the silo are only used to divide the territory of each family, not to isolate the sound, a little sharp ears will be able to hear whether the upstairs is watching the news broadcast or a selection of skits.

The Chi family lived right above Ying Lou's house, so every time she heard an argument upstairs, Ying Lou would wait by the door for Xiaochi Chi.

Within two minutes, Xiaochi Chi quietly slipped down, eyes black and shiny, freezing straight jump: "Lou brother Lou brother, fast fast fast, outside freezing."

"It's cold and you're not wearing more."

Xiaochi Chi climbed into Ying Lou's bed and wrapped herself in Ying Lou's blanket: "It's warm here."

Ying Lou locked the door: "Not going back today?"

"Not going back."

"Did you have dinner tonight?"

"Eat up."

Ying Lou came over and touched his dimpled stomach, shaking his head helplessly, "...... I'll go make you something to eat."

Ying Lou's sister-in-law is always on night duty, and her husband can't stay at home and always goes out with a group of brothers for a drink.

He grabbed something from the fridge and headed for the communal kitchen.

After a while, when Xiaochi Chi was a little warmer, she got out of bed, wrapped Ying Lou's jacket around her, and felt her way to the public kitchen.

The water on the stove has just boiled, and the hanging noodles in the pot are gradually turning the soup milky white and steaming, and Ying Lou is standing in front of the pot with the fragrant noodles, his figure enveloped by the heat.

He shredded the meat evenly and threw it into the pot, and the aroma spread quickly, making Xiaochi Chi's mouth water.

He came over and poked his head in to watch Ying Lou cook.

Ying Lou took chopsticks and gently adjusted them in the noodle pot to avoid sticking to the pot: "Want to eat an egg? I'll lay an egg for you."

Xiaochi Chi : "Eat."

Ying Lou cracked one open and found it to be double yellow.

Xiaochi Chi exclaimed, "Wow, awesome."

Ying Lou : "What's so great, it's not like I did it."

After saying that, both of them were happy.

A pot of noodles, they each took a white porcelain bowl and served one, squatting at home, head to head, sucking and sucking.

Xiaochi Chi said vaguely, "We haven't fed the dogs today, so let's save one for the dogs."

Ying Lou has long been accustomed to calling each other and Xiaochi Chi: "I'll keep the share of Burying."

So after dinner, Xiaochi Chi and Ying Lou went to feed the little yellow dog, who loved the noodles and ate them with great gusto.

Xiaochi Chi, who had fed the dog and couldn't cook, rolled up her sleeves and washed the dishes with a lot of effort.

Xiaochi Chi was filled with warmth as she walked behind Ying Lou towards Lou's house, holding three clean bowls.

After a good meal, Xiaochi Chi and Ying Lou share a small table to do their homework, and when they are done, they fall asleep under the covers.

Ying Lou is two years older than him, and her homework is more and harder than his, so she naturally sleeps later.

As the noise from upstairs continued, Ying Lou put down her pen and put her hands over Xiaochi Chi's ears while she read the questions carefully.

Kinship is too distant and vague a concept for Xiaochi Chi.

He felt a whole different kind of emotion, which he called friendship when he was a child, and then let it develop into a hazy affection.

To be honest, if Changqing Shen's parents come, he really does not have sufficient experience to cope.

But it's not a big deal, the soldiers will come to stop it.

Once Kai Zhou's domestic violence story was revealed, it caused a huge uproar and a huge public outcry. The hospital where Erpu He was admitted was even more shocked and immediately upgraded Erpu He's treatment.

Xiaochi Chi came to the hospital and was led by a nurse to meet Erpu He, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Kai Zhou picked a vet hospital that was clean and far away, with first-class conditions and a special playground for dogs to play.

When Xiaochi Chi arrived at the playground, there were dozens of dogs chasing and playing in the field.

Unable to tell who was who for a moment, he simply shouted, "...... Erpu He!"

A Labrador who was shaking his head with a toy Frisbee in his mouth looked back.

When it saw Changqing Shen, it was confused for a moment, as if it wasn't quite sure who the visitor was.

The face is a familiar face, but it doesn't seem to be the same person.

However, only a few moments later, he dropped the Frisbee and darted to Xiaochi Chi, sniffing his shoes and then circling him with a joyful, happy whine.

Xiaochi Chi squatted down and hugged Erpu He's neck.

Erpu He trustingly stretched out his furry neck, giving him the softest and most vulnerable part of his body, whimpering and humming, his paws on Xiaochi Chi's shoulders, nestling in his arms and rubbing gently, as if pampering and comforting.

Xiaochi Chi moved to check the injuries on its body.

Because of the need for treatment, the shaved hair on his chest and abdomen has not yet grown out, he hides and refuses to show Xiaochi Chi, and keeps on rubbing his wet black nose against Xiaochi Chi's side.

Xiaochi Chi like to understand its heart, stroking the back of its neck softly reassured: "...... hair fell out also handsome."

Erpu He now good, fall down and turn over the belly, to Xiaochi Chi touch.

When he was lying flat, Xiaochi Chi realized that the hair on his chest had been shaved into a heart shape.

Xiaochi Chi mocked it with impunity: "Hahaha."

Erpu He cocked his head and instinctively knew his master was happy, so he reached out and wrapped his paws around his little legs, his big watery eyes blinking, and quietly stuck to him, too good to be true.

Xiaochi Chi picked Erpu He up and sat down on a bench at the edge of the field, staring out at the gray sky.

061 has had experience in guessing what Xiaochi Chi has in mind: "Dog meat will be good over there."

"It's certainly going to be good." Xiaochi Chi says, "Dog meat has a naturally diseased eye, but when it comes to grabbing food, I've never seen anyone grab it. He's a chicken thief, and he'll hide the bones, and he won't go hungry."

Xiaochi Chi had a dog, and he understands Changqing Shen's feelings.

He saw the dog meat go with his own eyes.

Before the dog left, it had already developed a serious geriatric condition, it could not run, could not bark, could not even bite the crispy bones, Xiaochi Chi fed it food, he could not swallow it, but only in his mouth.

But even then, it refused to die.

It dragged on day after day, taking injections, eating, and gradually grew so thin that there was no meat left, only a bone.

Xiaochi Chi put off all his work during that time and spent all day and night with him, cuddling him and saying, "There is no meat left in the dog, it can only be used for stew."

The dog gave a breathless bark of protest.

But it can't go on like this forever.

Before it became more painful, Xiaochi Chi took it to the hospital for an injection. euthanasia drug.

After more than 20 minutes after the injection, he was still breathing deeply and shallowly, his paws holding Xiaochi Chi's arm and refusing to let go.

Xiaochi Chi hugged it, "Dog meat, let's go."

Dog meat refused to die, a pair of eyes had been clouded with the shade of death, but still looked straight at Xiaochi Chi.

Xiaochi Chi closed his eyes: "...... buried, let's go."

A minute or so after Xiaochi Chi said this, the dog meat walked away.

Probably it mistakenly thought that its other owner had come to pick it up.

There is not a dog in the world as chicken, wilful and love to snatch food from its owner.

To the owner, every dog he has ever owned is unique, which is why Erpu He's death destroyed Changqing Shen's last hope for survival.

061 advised him, "It's normal to live and die." Dog meat is the end of life, for stray dogs has been considered quite a happy ending.

Xiaochi Chi replied, "I know. I got used to it a long time ago."

Xiaochi Chi thought about the person who went to feed the dog meat with him, and suddenly felt something strange at his side when he was dazed.

He inclined his head to look, surprisingly saw some time there is a toy dog lying on his arm, the eyes of the crow to look at him, looks well-behaved.

061's warm voice rang in his ears, "I cashed it out of the warehouse with Kai Zhou's remorse value. Console and comfort you."

He must admit that there was a moment when he wanted to come out and hug Xiaochi Chi.

But he controlled his impulses.

Xiaochi Chi is unable to accept physical contact, hugs and contact from toys should be fine.

The seemingly omnipotent Xiaochi Chi, who occasionally shows a confused and distressed look, surprisingly makes 061 infinitely protective.

Seeing the toy dog appear out of thin air, Erpu He, who was lying on his lap, became interested and opened his mouth to bite it, but Xiaochi Chi pressed his head back onto his knees.

The master does not let touch, it also behaved, but the little eyes that are not yet dead look at people can not help but laugh.

Xiaochi Chi held the toy dog in his hands and examined it, "Teacher Six."

061: "Hmm?"

Xiaochi Chi asked, "How many points does it take to redeem a system? When I leave, can I take you with me?"

Xiaochi Chi's tone when he asks the question is half-jokingly deadpan.

But 061 a heart was hit by that bright smile like, half a day did not come back.

He thought seriously about the question and said, "After taking you, I have 90 more missions. At that time, if possible, I will go to your world to see you."

Xiaochi Chi nodded, "Sure. I'll cook for you then."

It was raining and Erpu He was led into the kennel by the nurse along with the other dogs.

It reluctantly said goodbye to Xiaochi Chi.

Xiaochi Chi drove back to his residence, made himself a hearty dinner, ate, washed up and went to bed, selected a philosophy textbook for 061 to read, and prepared for bed.

After Xiaochi Chi's breathing becomes even, 061 closes the book in his hands and closes his eyes.

When he opened it again, the flow of light around him dissipated, and 061, dressed in white and black pants, was already standing in the hall of the main god space.

He took a step toward the "between".

...... He has something he wants to talk to the Lord God about.
