unruly

Ming Shu picked up Autumn by the artificial lake, that is, near his own villa. When passing by by chance, he found the dying dog next to the trash can.

It was not long before the full moon in autumn, and its size was not much different from that of an ordinary puppy. It had suffered a lot of horrific abuse, and when it was found, not only was its hair gone, but it also had various sizes on its legs, back, and abdomen. Large and small wounds, even the head was covered with pitch - the pervert who abused the dog wanted to end its life by using pitch to seal the little guy's nose and mouth, and then suffocate him to death.

It's a pity that the pervert's method was not good enough, and he couldn't really block the puppy's mouth, nose and other breathing parts, otherwise Qiu would have been out of breath, how could he be saved.

Ming Shu has never had a pet since he was a child, and he didn't know where to send the autumn when he picked it up. His first thought was to remember that there was a pet shop in the back street of No. [-] Middle School, so he wrapped the smelly autumn in a blanket and ran over here. coming.

Pet stores dare not accept Autumn. Firstly, there is no cure and there is nothing to do about it. Secondly, they are worried that Autumn will have infectious diseases such as parvo, and they are afraid that it will be passed on to other dogs after taking it into the store.The clerk pointed out the way for Mingshu, told him that there was a small-scale pet hospital not far away, and told him to go to a special hospital.

Mingshu carried Qiu to the pet hospital, looked for a doctor to treat the little guy, paid the fee, and wandered around all day long.

The doctor spent a lot of time cleaning the asphalt for the fall. The thing was too sticky to pull hard. It had to be dissolved with saturated fatty acids and then slowly cleaned.

Qiu whimpered in pain, and the reaction was so intense that the nurse who was helping him couldn't hold it down.

Ming Shu kept furrowing his brows, standing beside him, he couldn't do anything.

After cleaning the asphalt, there is still a lot of complicated and trivial work, such as wiping the stains with cotton balls, disinfecting and suturing the wounds, and helping the little guy set bones.The doctor told Mingshu that an operation must be needed for such a serious injury, and there are signs of suppuration in Qiuqiu's abdomen, so an operation is probably required.

The treatment requires a lot of money. Seven years ago, it was estimated that it would cost more than tens of thousands. The pet hospital could tell from Mingshu's appearance that she must be rich, so they asked her personal opinion, whether to treat or not to treat. How much does it cost.If this is an ordinary person, the hospital generally recommends euthanasia, or takes the puppy back for the last part of the journey. After all, most ordinary families will not spend so much money on an irrelevant stray dog.

Ming Shu naturally chose to continue the treatment. Although she was still a student at the time, and Ms. Ming Yiru didn't send her much money after the cold war with her family, she still had a small amount of spare money in her card, tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for a small life. Still acceptable.

Due to the seriousness of the injury, Qiu had to be hospitalized for a long time, and he could only leave after the injury recovered.

The doctor is still worried about him, not sure if he can save the little guy, thinking that Qiu should be like this after repeated rounds of abuse.The doctor said that Qiu might become lame, and even if he was cured now, he would probably become a burden in the future.

Mingshu still insisted on letting her be rescued, thinking that it would be a big deal in the future to bring Qiu home.Anyway, the old couple is not short of money, and they are bored and have nothing to do when they are old. It is just right to raise a dog, and the family should be more lively.

Naturally, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is quite the opposite.Ms. Ming Yiru doesn't like dogs, she is so busy all day and night, there are so many messes in the company that can't be dealt with, how can she even think about keeping pets.

Ming Yiru's concept is very different from that of his daughter. Being a mother is always more responsible. Even if she doesn't like it, she still thinks that she should be responsible for raising her, rather than just shutting her up at home.Ming Yiru rejected her daughter's request, and also disagreed with the proposal to hire someone to take care of the dog. She always felt that keeping a pet requires spending time with it. Take it home in autumn, otherwise I will send it directly to the corresponding institution.

Ming Shu couldn't resist his own mother, and it was useless to persuade her. She couldn't ask Teacher Xiao for help, and even mobilizing Aunt Lin still couldn't change Ming Yiru's mind.Helpless, she had no choice but to find another way, temporarily fostering Qiu in a pet hospital, and planned to ask her classmates and friends around if they wanted to raise a dog.

However, they are all seniors, and the students are facing difficulties such as finding a job. They are either unable to protect themselves, or they are planning to leave Z City to develop in other cities.All the students shook their heads and refused. Some people had some ideas and planned to try their best, but they gave up their thoughts when they heard that they were sick.

Whether he can support himself in the future is a difficult problem. Who would dare to raise a sick dog with huge expenses.

My friends are Lao Cao and Fan Chuyu, but this year, most of Lao Cao and others are still working abroad, and the rest are not as friendly as Ming Shu, and some people don’t look down on the dry and ugly autumn, and they all refuse in embarrassment up.

It can't be blamed for people judging dogs by their appearance, mainly because Qiu looks too scary after being rescued, and a large group of people dare not start with a regular breed of hairless cat, let alone a bald dog that is wilting.

After being hospitalized for two months in autumn, Ming Shu paid to raise the little guy for two months.

This year, Mingshu is actually very busy. On the one hand, she is rushing around to graduate from Z University, and on the other hand, she continues to submit various materials to Italy. After the operation in autumn, she will not go to the hospital very often. , most of the time, I contacted the doctor's assistant on the mobile phone, and visited Qiu in person no more than five times.

The assistant said on the phone that Qiu is recovering well and has grown a little bit of flesh, but he is still relatively timid. He has a strong stress response and does not trust anyone. Even if he does not take the initiative to attack people, every time someone approaches It will shrink into the corner.

Autumn seems to be depressed, and the idea of ​​survival is not particularly strong.

Ming Shu went to the hospital again, followed the doctor's advice to appease the little guy, and tried to see if he could relax.

It's just that autumn is still sleepy, and I have no interest in everything around me, looking hopeless and carefree.When Ming Shu approached, it would not avoid it, and let it be touched, but it would not get too close to Ming Shu, at most, it would sniff lightly with its nose twice to remember Ming Shu's smell.

The doctor said that it was because of being too defensive. Autumn has a psychological shadow on people, and it will take a long time to adjust in the future.

But where does Mingshu have so much free time to do these things, what he can do is limited after all, and there is nothing else he can do.

On the day of picking up Autumn, Mingshu sent Autumn to the pet shop of No. [-] Middle School for foster care, thinking that No. [-] Middle School was not far from the university town, and he and Xiao Heliang would pass by here often, so he could come and see it from time to time.

After being discharged from the hospital, Qiu is still a hairless dog. It can still grow hair, but in order to avoid infection, the doctor insisted on shaving it for about half a year.

After being fostered in a pet shop, Mingshu went to see Qiu several times, sometimes on purpose, sometimes just passing by, but the interval between them was still so long, it might not be possible to go there every ten days and half a month .

When the little guy recovered from his illness, Ming Shu didn't care too much, and began to pay attention to the really important things, so he often asked Xiao Heliang to go and have a look.

The pet shop is quite responsible, and it takes good care of the autumn, and won't ignore the little guy just because the owner doesn't come for a long time.

Ning Zhi discovered Autumn by a coincidence. When he passed by the door of the pet shop after school, he accidentally saw the "bone frame" basking in the sun in a cage, and was immediately attracted by the astonishingly ugly Autumn.

It has been several months since he was treated, but Qiu is still the same, he doesn't like to move, doesn't grow flesh, and lacks interest in everything outside, like an eggplant beaten by frost all day long.

The wire door of the dog cage was open, but Qiu still didn't want to come out, preferring to lie inside alone with a dog.It was weak, as if it had some serious illness that could not be cured.

Ning Zhizhi stood on the side of the road, and recognized the woolen blanket with sunflower pattern under Qiu Qiu.

The little guy seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at him, so he raised his head and looked at him, and soon lay down again, almost burying his head under his paws.

Ning Zhi approached, leaned over and continued to look at the blanket.

Qiu didn't show it, twisted his buttocks, hid the blanket under his stomach, and kept hiding in the corner of the cage.

The clerk came out at this moment, seeing Ning Zhiqian standing still, he asked enthusiastically, "Student, what do you want to buy?"

Ning Zhi answered simply: "No."

The clerk smiled, seeing that she was wearing the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School, she knew that she was here to tease the dog, "Do you need our help?"

Ning Zhi still shook his head, "No, just take a look."

It's not illegal to look at a dog, it doesn't matter how you look at it.The clerk let her go, changed the bowl of clean water for the autumn and was about to leave.

Ning Zhi suddenly asked: "Is this dog sent by someone else?"

The clerk turned around and replied nonchalantly, "The ones are fostered in the store."

Ning Zhi asked, "Where is its owner?"

"I don't know where it went." The clerk said, his tone was quite emotional, "It seems to be a student of Z University, still studying, and it disappeared after paying the money a few times ago. She picked up this dog, but she It seems that I don’t plan to raise it, and I don’t know how to deal with it, anyway, it will be taken care of by the store for the time being.”

Ning Zhi nodded, understood.

The clerk added: "Sometimes a man comes to take care of it. He seems to be a teacher in your school. He is tall and big."

Ning Zhi said oh, and looked down at Qiu Qiu again.

Qiu still kept her head buried, the little guy was afraid of strangers, there was only one person standing in front of him, but it was so frightened that its body was trembling and trembling.

The clerk had no choice but to push Ning Zhi away, so he took Qiu back after a while.

There was still something left in the cage, so Qiu refused to leave and kept calling.

Ning Zhi reminded: "It didn't take the blanket."

The clerk folded back to get the blanket and wrapped it on Shagou's back.Only then did Qiuqiu stop shouting, and immediately became obedient.

Ning Zhi stood at the door of the store for a minute or two, quietly looking at the inside from the outside, as if he wanted to go in, but he still didn't.After a while, she left with her schoolbag on her back, and called her driver unhurriedly to come here to pick her up.

The pet store is too close to the No. [-] Middle School, and it can be reached by a short walk.

In the next half month, Ning Zhi would see Autumn in the cage almost every day.And every time, Autumn is the one who is dying, and doesn't care about anything except the blanket.

The little guy is not close to people as always, and sometimes he will bark his teeth when he is annoyed.It doesn't trust anyone, not even the clerk who takes care of it.

Ming Shu didn't come here for a long time, she went abroad temporarily, and was too busy to find her way from morning till night.

Ning Zhi came over to take a look when he was free, and even fed ham sausage to Qiu twice.

Autumn doesn't know good people, and it doesn't even smell ham sausage, let alone eat it, and it will struggle to open it when it is put in the cage, so don't be too vigilant.

The clerk told Ning Zhi not to feed her.

"It won't eat it, and it's the same for other people to feed it. It won't eat them all."

One day, Ning Zhi brought a Pomeranian who came from nowhere to the store to take a bath. During the period, he pointed to Qiu and asked the clerk intentionally or unintentionally, "The owner of that dog hasn't come yet?"

The clerk shook his head regretfully, "I haven't shown up for almost a month, but I will answer the phone call. He said that he is abroad, and he seems to be going to study in Italy."

Ning Zhi asked: "What about this dog, what should we do in the future?"

The clerk said: "She asked us to help find the owner. If it really doesn't work in the future, we should go to foster care or send it to a rescue station."

Ning Zhi turned her head to look at Qiu, and pursed her lips.

The clerk led Pomeranian by the hand and asked, "Is this your dog?"

"No," Ning Zhi denied, and told the truth, "My friend, I'll help you take a walk."

In the autumn when no one adopts, it costs money to raise a large dog, and it costs money to treat diseases. Those who can meet the adoption requirements will basically choose to use the money to buy a better and healthier pet.

Ning Zhi didn't think about adopting Qiu, he just asked casually, and he still didn't want to meddle in his own business.

The treatment of the silly dog ​​is still the same, unchanged.It became more and more self-closing, and often looked at the road blankly, with a dull state and a dazed expression.

That winter, Mingshu finally came back from abroad, went back to school to take the final exam, and started preparing for his graduation thesis.After returning to China, she went to the pet store to see Qiu at the first time. At this time, there was finally good news that someone was willing to adopt Qiu.

Ming Shu's heart fell to the ground, and he managed to calm down.

The adoption process was handed over to the pet shop for help, and Mingshu didn't take care of the rest.

For the rest of the winter, Ming Shu has been concentrating on reviewing, preparing the opening report and summary of the graduation thesis.During that time, she would go to the bookstore near Z University almost every day, enter the door in the morning, go out to have a meal at noon and then come back, and did not return home until five or six in the afternoon.

Ning Zhi had met Mingshu several times in the bookstore. She didn't know where she was, and she didn't meet her intentionally. She was just taken by her classmates to wander around the university town, and when she went into the bookstore to buy drinks, she found Mingshu sitting behind the table. Shu.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Ming Shu changed his appearance again, became much calmer, and was very serious no matter what he did.

There are one or two people who enter the store every once in a while, and sometimes customers order, but that never bothers Mingshu.Ming Shu never looked up, not curious about what was going on at the bar, and never noticed Ning Zhi there.

Ning Zhi deliberately sat on a stool not far away for more than ten minutes, and deliberately talked with his classmates in a low voice, but Ming Shu was always like that, all his thoughts were on the books and the computer screen.

It's fine if you don't find out, Ning Zhi doesn't really want to talk to Mingshu, and will leave here with his classmates when the time comes.

The subsequent encounter was almost the same as this time, basically the same.

Except one day, Ming Shu brought Fan Chuyu who had just returned to China.

Mr. Fan seven years ago was a high-spirited one, and he was definitely the most eye-catching one in the crowd.

The 27-year-old Fan Chuyubi was unreliable later on, and at first glance he was particularly unreliable.Fan always cared more about Mingshu's rescue of the dog, so he mentioned it several times in the store.

Ning Zhi also found out through Fan Chuyu's words that the family that originally planned to adopt Qiu changed their minds temporarily, and changed their mind after seeing Qiu in the store, and could not accept Qiu.

Fan Chuyu wanted to help Mingshu, but Guoer at home was allergic to dog hair, so there was nothing she could do.Fan Chuyu asked in a low voice: "You have to leave in a few months, have you thought about what to do?"

Ming Shu spent most of his energy on the thesis, so he replied indifferently for the time being: "Let's read it again, and then we'll figure out a way."

Fan Chuyu suggested: "Do you want to send it to the aid station?"

Ming Shu said, "Try adoption first."

Fan Chuyu said: "It might be better if you send it there, but it's troublesome now."

Ming Shu hummed, unable to tell whether she agreed or disagreed.

Ning Zhi sat with his back to them, and took all these words into his ears.

People's ideas are always temporary and can be easily changed.By coincidence, Ning Zhishuan decided to adopt Qiu, the idea came suddenly, and he planned to raise a dog in a daze.

The pet shop is strictly guarded, and it will not be easy to hand over Autumn to a minor. Parents must come forward to do so.

Ning Zhi didn't ask Mrs. Ning and the others for help, let alone Dad Ning or Zhuang Qinian. She asked the driver to help, and she took Qiu away from the store smoothly.

Mingshu agrees with this. All the information she received was about the driver personally. After reading the information, she thought it was okay, and then communicated with the driver to confirm that the driver is sincerely adopting and will treat Qiu well. Then let go completely.

Ning Zhi took Qiu home and brought him to Ning's old house.

The family has no objection to Ning Zhi keeping a dog. Mrs. Ning has left her granddaughter to her, and she will help take care of it at ordinary times.

The name of Autumn was given by Mrs. Ning. The old lady asked where the dog came from and when she found it. Ning Zhi wanted to answer that it was recently, but he hesitated and said truthfully: "It was adopted by a pet store. Picked up dog."

Mrs. Ning touched the puppy kindly, and said kindly: "Then let's call it Autumn, okay?"

Ning Zhi agreed.

Autumn is a very commemorative name. It was then when Ning Zhi and Ming Shu met for the first time, and Ming Shu also picked up Shagou at this time in the second year.

Until the spring of next year, the weather in City Z was always warm.Spring is the season of revival of all things, and autumn also grows dense hair at this moment. Under Ning Zhi's careful care, the little guy has become a little fleshier, and he is no longer dying.

Ning Zhi doesn’t like raising dogs very much. In fact, she is not interested in these furry things. At first, she raised Autumn on a whim. After a long period of time, she didn’t treat Autumn as her own dog, and she still couldn’t get used to it. The existence of ugly things.

And similarly, Autumn didn't accept this new owner either. It didn't quite understand why it changed to another place, and it became even more timid and withdrawn after being in a strange environment.The little guy vaguely knew that he would never see Mingshu in the future, so he was so anxious that he couldn't even drink milk, and didn't eat much for two or three days, as if he wanted to go on a hunger strike to show his loyalty.

Although Qiu was able to give up resistance later, but within half a year of being brought to the old house, Qiu never approached Ning Zhi, and always ran far away whenever he saw people.

Shagou doesn't know good people's hearts, and thinks that Ning Zhi caused him to separate from Mingshu, and it's still very sad.Its affection for its savior is too deep, and it wants to go home with Mingshu, but unfortunately it can't.

Then it was the third year of junior high school, time flies, and it passes in a blink of an eye.

That year, Ming Shu went abroad smoothly, and ignored Ming Yiru's objection, he rushed to Italy alone, chasing his dream without looking back.

Teacher Xiao was promoted again, and became the deputy director of No. [-] Middle School at this time.

The third year of junior high school is the same for Ning Zhi, with more homework and less time for fun, and everything else remains the same.Zai'er doesn't plan to go to another school for high school, nor does he plan to study abroad. He thinks these are too troublesome, so he still wants to stay in No. [-] Middle School.

Both middle school and high school are enrolled in the same school, that is, direct admission. Ning Zhi feels extremely relaxed about this, without any pressure at all.Zai'er was promoted with the fifth grade in the city, and she didn't study much for the senior high school entrance examination. She went home to walk the dog when she was free. After the whole year, except for flipping through books in class and doing homework, she didn't touch it at all. have touched these.

In the first semester of senior high school, students are divided into classes according to their grades, with mixed arts and sciences. There are 39 classes in the whole year.Ning Zhi was lucky, and happened to be assigned to Xiao Heliang's class.

Teacher Xiao became the class teacher again this year. On the first day of class, because no students voluntarily raised their hands to be the class cadre, he appointed Ning Zhi as the representative of the Chinese class.

Ning Zhi was not interested in these things, she was going to refuse, but in the end she still didn't, so she nodded involuntarily.

The first semester of senior high school was the most relaxing of the three years of high school. Even though there were many subjects to learn before there were no divisions, the academic tasks were not too heavy, and the whole thing was okay.

Xiao Heliang is not a strict teacher. He is more humorous and gentle in class and after class. He has always had a teacher-friend relationship with his students and rarely puts on airs.In the new semester, in order to let the students integrate into the group as soon as possible, and to get to know everyone faster, Teacher Xiao specially held a class welcome party, inviting everyone to eat snacks and communicate cordially.

At this time, Ning Zhi added teacher Xiao's WeChat account, and had formal contact with people from the Ming family.

Seven years ago, WeChat was not as widely used as Penguin, and the functions of Moments were not as diverse as later.Ning Zhi didn't have a WeChat account at first, so he applied for a new one for the convenience of contacting Mr. Xiao.

Teacher Xiao likes to share his life, and sometimes he will post some news about his wife and stepdaughter in Moments.

Through Xiao Heliang’s circle of friends, Ning Zhi knew a lot about Mingshu without knowing it——Mingshu’s study in Italy was very smooth. She liked the field of fashion design and responded with enthusiasm. Trying to enrich herself, she made friends of all kinds, continuously expanded her knowledge and contacts, and participated in various activities. After half a year, she won a small creative award, and then joined another association...

Ning Zhi had no intention of spying on Ming Shu's life, but just found out by accident.Zai'er still doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts about Mingshu at the moment, he faces it openly and normally, and doesn't feel too much when he occasionally sees Mingshu's photos.

The first semester of high school is over, and the next semester should be divided into subjects and classes.

The school has not yet issued a specific notice, and the children do not know which class they will be assigned to. Some students are reluctant to part with Xiao Heliang, and feel that they may be separated because of this, so they spontaneously rushed to the lakeside villa to visit Xiao Heliang after the exam .

Among them is Ning Zhi.

The old couple warmly received these people and left them to play at home in the afternoon.

Xiao Heliang took the children upstairs to visit the study room and shared the books collected by the family.When passing by the door of Mingshu's room, Teacher Xiao introduced with a smile that he also had a daughter who was studying abroad, and told everyone that Mingshu was also a student of No. [-] Middle School, and studied in the Department of Management of Z University.

Everyone else wandered into the study, looking here and there.Some students wanted to borrow books, and Xiao Heliang readily borrowed them.

"I can borrow all the books here, and you can return them whenever you finish them. Anyway, I'm always at school after school starts, so you can find me in the office."

Ning Zhi didn't like reading books, but she borrowed one anyway.

That book was a famous foreign book, all in English, and Ning Zhi didn't read it after he brought it home.

Zai'er doesn't like reading, and is used to being lazy by nature.

In the next semester of high school, Ning Zhi was still assigned to Xiao Heliang's class, and continued to be the representative of the Chinese class after going around around.

Xiao Heliang liked the student Ning Zhi, and asked her on the first day of the new semester: "Have you finished the book?"

Ning Zhi recalled it dully for half a second before remembering this, she froze for a while, and lied for no reason.

"finish watching."

Xiao Heliang actually remembered the name of the book Ning Zhi borrowed, and immediately asked how he felt after watching it.

Ning Zhi couldn't answer, and couldn't tell the content of the book.

Seeing this, Xiao Heliang understood, and smoothed things over and said, "This is the first foreign masterpiece my daughter reads."

Ning Zhi hummed.

Xiao Heliang said: "You can look at it again, and you may pass the exam."

Ning Zhi replied: "Okay."

Ning Zhi finished reading "Childhood", one of Maxim Gorky's autobiographical trilogy, in a few nights, and then returned the book in person at the villa by the lake.

So far, she has started to borrow and return books, sometimes once a week, sometimes two or three months.

It has been three years since Ming Shu left, and he hasn't returned to China, even on holidays.

The old couple sometimes fly to Italy for travel, where the family is reunited.

In Ning Zhi's third year of high school, Ming Shu finally returned to China often, and flew to Z City when he was free, appearing in front of Ning Zhi more and more.

Their first reunion was in the villa. When Ming Shu entered, Ning Zhi was sitting in the living room reading a book.

Ming Shu wanted to come back on the spur of the moment, without notifying his family in advance, and without telling anyone, he suddenly showed up empty-handed.She walked up to sit across the table lightly, then tapped the table twice, looked at Ning Zhi curiously, and asked, "Who are you, why are you at my house?"

Ning Zhi just realized that someone had come in, and his heart tightened for a moment, he couldn't hold the book in his hand steadily.

pat-

The book fell to the floor.

Ming Shu was puzzled, Da La La leaned back against the chair.

"Am I that scary?"

The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angel who threw the grenade: 43874661;
