when question marks become people

The sudden appearance of a stray dog ​​startled the two of them, Wen Hao turned to look, Ying Annian held his arm to prevent accidents.

The stray dog ​​only barked once, and after attracting their attention, it stood still and watched, neither running away nor approaching.

It looks like it has been wandering for a long time. It is dirty, skinny and skinny. There is no piece of hair on its body. Only a pair of eyes are still bright, which are set off by the big ears hanging on both sides of the head, making it look timid.

It's so cold, I don't know how it wandered to the villa area.Wen Hao had nothing to eat, and neither did Ying Annian. He looked at the dog, and then at Ying Annian.

Ying Annian didn't miss the questioning in his eyes, and asked Wen Hao to stand outside, while the man pulled him around the dog and walked forward. "See if it is willing to follow."

Seeing them moving, the stray dog ​​still didn't approach, but just changed direction with them, like a sunflower whose head is too heavy.

Wen Hao turned around and waved, motioning for it to follow. "Come on, come with us."

The dog didn't move, but when the two pressed their steps and continued to walk forward, they found that it maintained the previous distance and fell behind not too far or too close.If the two turned their heads to look at it, it would stop. Wen Hao and Ying Annian simply walked home with their backs to it.

At the entrance of the villa, the dog stopped again, and Wen Hao stood inside to greet it, but it stepped on its feet twice, as if still hesitating.The tall and cold Ying Annian pointed into the yard and said half-commandatively, "Come in." The stray dog ​​was accepted by both of them, and then walked into this warm place.

I prepared food and a temporary nest for it. It was too late, so I will deal with it first tonight.The dog is very obedient, wherever it is called, it only stays in that small area.

"Do you want to raise it?" Wen Hao asked as he walked upstairs with Ying Annian.If Ying Annian doesn't want to adopt it, or if the dog is not suitable to live with Aunt Ying and Lele, he has to find an adopter for it as soon as possible.

"I thought it was already our dog." Ying Annian stopped and looked at Wen Hao.

Both Lele and Wen Hao like animals, and he planned to add a pet to his family after the next year.The original plan was to let them go to the pet store to choose a docile cat or a small dog. Now that they have met this one, they should raise it well, and I believe they will be happy too.

"Then we..."

"Tomorrow we..."

The two spoke at the same time and both laughed.

"You talk first." Ying Annian said.

"Then let's take it to the doctor tomorrow. Are you free?" Wen Hao can do this alone, but he has done a lot of things with Ying Annian recently, and he likes this state very much, unconsciously An "invitation" was issued.

"That's what I want to say." Ying Annian said with a smile in his voice, delighted by this "mind-to-heart connection".

Wen Hao once again sighed in his heart, he was very lucky to meet this man, he was like this, and so was the dog, it seemed that he could help achieve whatever he wanted.

Because of Ying Annian's previous stop, Wen Hao stood two steps higher than him. At this moment, when he looked up from the bottom, the little stars in the eyes of the long-haired young man seemed to be about to fall on him.The stairs under his feet seemed to be melting into a lake that greeted the starlight, causing him to sway gently with the microwave as he fell.

It was the first time Wen Hao saw Ying Annian's smooth forehead and a lock of hair raised behind his forehead from this angle.He suddenly wanted to raise his hand to smooth his hair, and he did.

Ying Annian, who was still "shaking", didn't move, but a voice suddenly sounded: "You guys just came back?"

The hand in mid-air quickly retracted, the stars suddenly disappeared, and the lake surface immediately returned to a carpeted staircase. The two of them looked to where the sound came from, and Yingmu, who interrupted the magic moment, stopped her steps going down from the third floor , Embarrassed: "I'm bothering you, you go on, go on."

It was obviously nothing, but with such an interruption, a ray of embarrassment suddenly appeared in Wen Hao's heart, which strongly blocked his usual casual and clear thinking, making him forget what to say and what to do, and said quickly Good night: "It's quite late, Auntie, An Nian, see you tomorrow."

Ying's mother turned to Ying Annian, heard Wen Hao's sound of closing the door, and said, "I'm sorry, son, I didn't mean it, and you didn't tell me where you went, so I should pay attention."

She had already seen what Ying Annian was thinking, it was just the young man's own business, and she always believed that the young man should handle it by himself.

"It's not what you think." Ying Annian explained.Seeing his mother's expression of disbelief, he said anxiously: "Mom, don't tell Wen Hao this, he is still young."

"Okay, okay, I just pretend I don't know, and I won't interfere with your affairs." Ying's mother let her red-eared son go back to the room with a tone that she really couldn't do anything about you.

The lady who had eaten salt could build a bridge across the river shook her head in her heart. Wen Hao is young, and this son is not much older.

The next day, Lele woke up and found out that there was an animal friend in the house. She was curious and happy.The adults didn't let him get close for a while, so he ran over to take a look, with a long list of questions in his mouth: Does it drink milk?Does it eat eggs?Is it cold?It seems that if you get an affirmative answer, you will share your food and clothes.

After breakfast, Wen Hao asked the dog to go out with him, and Ying Annian stood beside him.

The dog stood up from the den where it had only slept all night, and took two steps outside, apparently understanding what they meant.During the day, it looked even more miserable, and two full meals and a good night's sleep didn't help much.

"Come on." Wen Hao urged, and made a gesture to walk out.When he looked back, he saw a question box popping up over the dog's head: "Should I be kicked out?" 』

During the whole process of probing, following, and staying last night, it didn't have any problematic thinking activities that Wen Hao could catch. Judging by its intelligence during this period, combined with guesses about its wandering time, this Dogs have probably done this more than once.It is mentally prepared for the situations it may encounter—feeding, being ignored, being chased or even chased, and it just keeps trying without much thought.

This time, it was brought back to a home, had a small nest, and was called out again. The reluctance and fear stimulated it to have strong doubts.

Even so, the dog just looked back at the den, and then obediently followed the two humans out.

Wen Hao couldn't make it understand more through words, so he directly opened the rear door and asked it to get in, and he also stepped in, but Ying Annian drove him to the co-pilot.The man sat in the back seat, and the dog shrank away from the door when he came in, then put its head on its paws, and quietly waited for its fate with questions.

But when he was brought into the vet, where he was gently bathed, examined, and even though the actions made him feel some pain, the problem disappeared by itself.The dog should understand what this place is, and know that he is being treated with kindness.In the following time, it was almost forbidden and allowed to be fiddled with.

"It's a Labrador, a male dog. It's about six years old. It's a big dog." The veterinarian with a shaved mohawk gently stroked the dog's head, "Malnutrition, skin disease, and no other major problems. It must have been a domestic pet, it was very familiar with people, it had been neutered, and it was abandoned or lost, but luckily it met you.”

After the dog is washed, the original coat color is exposed, which is the most common yellow.However, for the convenience of applying medicine, most of its hair has been shaved. Except for the skeleton, it really doesn't look like an adult big dog.

The veterinarian was very sympathetic to it, but when he looked up, he saw the domineering one frowning tightly among the two men who came with him.He had a good impression of the handsome long-haired guy next to him, but he was not sure about this guy's temper.

Couples, husbands and wives want to raise one and throw the other away, or start to adopt with good intentions, see animals that are troublesome, spend a lot of money, change their minds halfway, and have seen a lot of veterinarians. Worried that this man will change his mind, he hastened to say more sentence.

"Labradors have a high IQ. They are born with a good personality, are very close to people, and are very loyal. Many guide dogs and search-and-rescue dogs are of this breed. This one has been raised at home, and it doesn't even need training. It's quiet and won't make noise, you guys are really lucky."

Wen Hao looked at the dialog box above his head and snickered. Ying Annian would not dislike this dog. He probably despised its former owner in his heart, and maybe he felt sorry for the dog.

To reassure the veterinarian, Wen Hao also raised his hand to stroke the intact skin on the back of the dog's neck, and called Ying Annian: "Touch Annian too, he is getting bolder now."

Ying Annian's right hand lightly touched "their dog" together with the young man's hand.The dog turned his head and licked both hands.

The veterinarian suddenly felt redundant.

The dog stayed at the pet hospital for one night. At noon on New Year's Eve, before the pet hospital closed, Wen Hao and Ying Annian took him back again.Going into the villa again, the dog knew what it meant, and happily walked around Ying Annian and Wen Hao's feet, envious of Lele.

Lele was not taken to the pet hospital the day before, but got a task: to name the dog.The child thought for a long time, thinking of all the words he knew, and finally chose the word "five" because this is the fifth member of the family.After knowing the dog's age, other people call it "Little Five", and the little guy calls it "Five Brothers".

"Fifth Brother, I'll give you cakes." Lele brought something delicious.

Xiao Wu firmly stayed at the feet of Ying Annian and Wen Hao who were sitting together playing cards.Wen Hao said that he had never played poker before, so Ying Annian specially found a pair to play with him.

"Fifth brother, look at my spaceship!" Lele also took out his favorite toy.

Xiao Wu was almost stepped on by Ying Annian's tail, but he still wanted to sneak back and forth between the two of them.The helpers are all on vacation, Wen Hao enthusiastically went to the kitchen to warm up the dishes, and Ying Annian helped him.

"Fifth brother, put a blanket on you." Lele continued to work hard.

The child saw that Xiao Wu had a large area of ​​skin exposed, so he found a small blanket.This little blanket finally attracted Xiao Wu's attention, making him willing to leave the two adults and walk to the side of the kid who kept calling it.

The color of the blanket was exactly the same as the cushions in the little den where it slept the night before.
