Kou Qiu almost forgot about Zhong Liang.Only occasionally, he would contact the owner of the dog who was entrusted at that time to confirm whether the other party was still alive.

The dog owner said: "Hey, speaking of it, I have never seen a dog with such a long lifespan! It has been more than ten years, and I have never seen it die of old age..."

His words reminded Kou Qiu.Half a month later, Kou Qiu handed it over to another family, and told the former owner that it had reached the end of its lifespan.

There is a child in the new owner's family, who is only about ten years old.When Zhong Liang was brought over, he lay down sleepily in the corner of the wall, resting his head on his two front paws, without making a sound.

But it suddenly raised its head, and met a pair of clear and clean eyes, like clear black pearls soaked in mercury.

"Dahei," the little boy said with a smile, "may I call you Dahei?"

Zhong Liang narrowed his eyes.At this moment, the person in front of him seemed to gradually overlap with the child it saw back then.Their figures gradually came together, but the child's eyes were full of haze that could not go away.

He had never been so innocent.

Zhong Liang managed to raise his spirits a bit, slowly stuck out his tongue, and licked the hand of the child in front of him.

It thought that it might at least be able to keep these eyes.

When Zhong Liang changed to the fourth master, one day, it suddenly heard that someone came to see it.It looked up from the simple kennel, and saw Ruan Xun walking in.

Ruan Xun is not very old.Although the years have passed and left some imprints, his facial features are still handsome when he was young, with oval eyes and drooping eye tails. When he looks at people, he always has an innocent and serious feeling.There was a black gauze around his arms and white flowers on his chest, as if he had just come down from a funeral.

The master of the house led him in, and he couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the bloody bandages on his exposed shoulders.

"you!"

"fine."

Ruan Xun smiled, and then Fang asked the master, "Can I stay alone with it for a while?"

The master naturally did not object and closed the door.Ruan Xun found a chair in the room and sat down, quietly watching the big black dog in front of him for a while.

He took a notebook out of his bag.

A low voice escaped from Zhong Liang's throat, and he vaguely realized that the man was probably dead.Because the monster power of the collar around its neck suddenly loosened, and it couldn't even suppress it, allowing it to gather strength slightly, and then re-formed into a human form.

Kou Qiu looked at his ex-partner in front of him, his expression was still calm, and he even pulled a bench for him, "Sit."

Zhong Liang didn't sit down.

"Is he dead?" he asked coldly.

"Yes," Kou Qiu hooked his lips very slowly, and stroked the black veil tied around his lower arm, "died in the anti-drug operation in the Golden Triangle."

Kou Qiu didn't feel so sad, when they took up this position, they already knew what they were going to face.After experiencing the last serious injury, Ying Cun already had some premonitions.

"What if I leave," he said slowly, kissing his lover's cheek, "my kitten?"

Kou Qiu looked very serious.He said: "It doesn't matter if you leave, we will meet in the next life, and I will support you then."

Ying Cun smiled lowly, he took off the gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and pulled his lover closer, and his lips imprinted on the prickly ears on the top of the cat's head.

"Okay." There was a hoarse smile in his voice, "You want to raise me white and fat."

Kou veteran cadre nodded, thinking: "Ten years old will let you pass a hundred catties, and 20 years old will let you pass two hundred catties. Four meals a day, and extra meals in the evening."

Apparently raising a living human as a pig.

Officer Ying laughed even deeper and said, "You don't dislike me?"

Kou Qiu said, "I don't dislike it."

What do you dislike, even if you are an earthworm.We socialist successors look at the inside, not the superficial appearance!

On the contrary, System, who was a fan of his father and husband, shivered violently, and hugged himself tightly in horror.

Two hundred catties?

No, it doesn't want to, it refuses! !

In this operation, Kou Qiu himself was seriously injured.He dragged the body back to the country, after finishing the funeral that should have been done, he immediately came before Zhong Liang.

— It's time to leave.

Zhong Liang said, "Why are you looking for me again?"

He will not regret it, never have the slightest regret.He is willing to dedicate his life voluntarily, so he will never feel lost or even annoyed.

It doesn't matter even if the person he is loyal to has never looked for him in the future, what he is loyal to is the hands that saved him back then.

Kou Qiu didn't answer, just handed over the notebook in his hand.Zhong Liang stared at the paper, still somewhat defensive, "What is this?"

Kou Qiu said, "Look."

He flipped the cover open.

Like a diary.

Zhong Liang flipped through the pages, not understanding why he wanted to show it to himself.A little impatience gradually surged in his heart, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped with his hand and stayed where he was.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "...where did you get it?"

Kou Qiu looked at him deeply, with pity in his eyes.

"say something!!!"

Zhong Liang's voice suddenly became louder, with some hoarseness in it, and he put his hand on the collar of the other party, "Where did you get this photo?!"

A slightly yellowed photo was blown up by the wind, whirled and fell to the ground.On it was a scarred black dog, lying in the shadow of the dark bridge, its body still smeared with pus and dust.

Such a scene has been remembered in Zhong Liang's mind for many years.

His hands trembled convulsively, clutching the neckline of the person in front of him tightly, watching with bated breath, wanting the answer, but not wanting the answer.

why?

Why? ! !

"It should be saved."

Kou Qiu calmly broke free from his hand, pursed his lips, and looked up at him.

"——It should be stored."

Zhong Liang didn't move, as if he was frozen there, he could almost hear his blood slowing down.

"Yes......"

Kou Qiu said simply: "He took the photo to the veterinarian."

After going back and forth, this photo that was originally stored in the mobile phone was printed out together with other case photos and clipped in the notebook.If Kou Qiu hadn't found it by accident at home, he probably wouldn't have recognized that this big, messy, festering dog back then was Zhong Liang today.

Zhong Liang took a step back abruptly, with an expression of joy and sorrow.With trembling lips, he slammed down on the chair, and let out a hoarse growl that was no longer quite human.

"You lied!" he growled, "You lied! . . . You lied to me, you lied to me..."

But another, clearer thought came to his mind.

Photos cannot be faked.If Yingcun hadn't rescued him, it would be even more impossible to see him in such a mess at that time.It's not that he didn't doubt how such a young child would know how to wrap a bandage, but after a long time, that doubt was buried by the dust of the years and buried in his heart.

But now, the truth has been revealed again.

It was wrong, it was wrong from the beginning.

All his life, he lived like a complete joke.

Who is he serving allegiance to?And for what?

Kou Qiu adjusted the neckline back to its original position, looked at Zhong Liang whose body suddenly went limp, and suddenly laughed.

He squatted down halfway, looking directly at Zhong Liang's disintegrated eyes.

"Do you know which group we are facing in this mission?"

"..." Zhong Liang didn't answer, but slowly raised his head and looked straight into his pupils.

Breathing seemed to stop at this moment.

[Progress of the slag abuse task: 90. 】

"—Do you know the golden python?"

Zhong Liang remained motionless.It's just that the pupils dilated all of a sudden, and there was a stormy sea full of pain inside.

yellow......

Golden Python...

That was the drug dealer he worked for before!

He is not just a loyal dog, he is a knife to help cut to the benefactor! !

He suddenly squeezed out a sob from his throat, as if the world had been completely turned upside down, he couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly hit his head on the table, making a dull bang.

Only then did the system understand why Kou Qiu had to wait until today.

These two sentences almost negate the entire meaning of Zhong Liang's past ten years.The progress of the task kept rushing upwards, like sitting on a rocket, and reached the top in a blink of an eye.

[Progress of the slag abuse task: 100. 】

[The mission is completed, and we are about to enter the next mission world. 】

The system said: [Dad, if he knew the truth, would he forgive him? 】

Kou Qiu glanced at the big black dog for the last time, his eyes were still wide open, staring at the sky almost blankly, as if he wanted to see something from there.

[Let's go. 】He said to the system, 【Yes or no, it has nothing to do with us. 】

He didn't think he would choose to forgive.

Between them is a river of blood paved with the lives of countless public officials.

But these, there is no need to talk to the system anymore.

The room was very dark, Kou Qiu fumbled, pressed the button on the uneven wall, and turned on the light.The fluorescent lamp suddenly illuminated the not-so-big house. He took off his coat, and could vaguely hear the sound of water dripping from the bathroom faucet.

Tick, tick.

The room was empty, the floor tiles were not even paved, it was a gray concrete floor, very rough to step on.Kou Qiu opened the only cabinet inside, and it was also empty, only a bag of milk lying quietly on the first floor.

Kou Qiu picked it up and checked the production date.

Sure enough, it expired.

He sighed softly, and put the things back down again.

I was so poor that I only had more than 70 yuan in cash left on me.All the bank cards had no balance, and he took out his pocket, only a single ID card was left.

The system couldn't help saying: [My God, this is too miserable, right? 】

Even Meng Jiao from the third world was not so miserable.

The original owner's name was Hang Anhe, and he was originally a serious son of a rich family.The family owns two or three companies, and they dote on this youngest son very much. After graduating from university, Hang Anhe joined his own company.

It could have been smooth sailing, his life.

But life took a big turn when he was 20 years old, as if he had made a big joke on him.Hang Anhe suddenly fell from the original life track, and fell into a disgraced and embarrassed state.

The phone on the side was still ringing, Kou Qiu picked up the receiver, and a sharp female voice came from there immediately.

"You still have the guts to answer the phone?——You thought the matter of seducing the man was over? Let me tell you, just wait, I can't let you go—"

Kou Qiu was so disturbed by her voice that his brain ached, and he couldn't help but said: "Comrade, please calm down first, before we talk."

The female voice paused, as if she heard some big joke, "Calm down?"

"Well." Kou Qiu is serious, "What we want to build is a harmonious society. A harmonious society requires the joint efforts of each of us. If we can't calm down and have a good conversation, how can we build a bridge of friendship and solve problems reasonably? ?”

The woman over there was silent for a while, then suddenly sneered and cursed.

"I think you #¥% are crazy! Selling asshole trash!"

She cut off the phone, and Kou Qiu couldn't help shaking his head while holding the microphone.

What about the quality of civilization?

He searched at home again, but couldn't find anything to eat.But this body was already very hungry, he rubbed his stomach, finally stood up, cruelly, took out three yuan from the change, and went out again against the wind.

When taking the money, Kou Qiu felt his heart was bleeding.

He sadly said to the system: [I never thought that a successor to socialism like me would have such a high regard for material things. 】

The system brat understands it very well, [Food is the most important thing for the people, let alone the original owner hasn't eaten all day. 】

It rubbed its hands together, a little excited, 【Why don't we have a good meal? 】

Kou Qiu went out against the howling night wind, and said casually: 【Okay, eat something good. 】

After a while, they squatted in front of the shelves in the commissary.

Veteran officer Kou: [Would you like braised beef in brown sauce, sauerkraut from Laotan, or rattan pepper?Come, take your pick. 】

System: 【...Is this good? 】

What a ghost!

[Yeah,] Senior Kou said, [I can only eat this. 】

He didn't know when he would be able to find the job. He groped for a while, hesitating on the bags of instant noodles, and finally moved to the cheapest crisp noodles, and said: [Or just this. 】

The system is almost crying.

It watched the host buy two bags of crispy noodles with a steel coin. It was so hungry that it couldn't stand it. It didn't even go far, so it opened the bag at the door of the store and took a bite.

His stomach shivered after not eating for a day, and he swallowed the whole bag, and immediately felt the convulsions in his stomach one after another, and he broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

The proprietress of the convenience store saw that the young man was clean and handsome, and saw him squatting on the ground covering his stomach, hesitated for a while, came out from the counter, and handed him a cup of hot water.

"Drink?"

Kou Qiu thanked her and hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of hot water, only then did he feel better.The churning pain was suppressed by the heat flow, the proprietress looked at his side face and couldn't help but said: "Young man, why do you just eat this?"

Kou Qiu forced a smile at her and said, "No money."

He had no intention of hiding it, squatting on the ground, and slowly opened another bag.

The proprietress looked at the night and said, "Is there a place to live?"

"Yes," the young man replied politely, "Thank you for your concern."

What a well-behaved child.

The proprietress's heart moved again, and when the young man got up to leave, she couldn't help but want to keep him as a part-time job in the shop.But Kou Qiu smiled, held the paper cup tighter in his hand, and finally refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but I will be moving soon, and I can no longer work nearby."

Since they were going to move away, these plans naturally became empty.The proprietress nodded and watched him go away, then checked the time and closed the shop door.

Kou Qiu walked along this rugged path for a long time against the darkness, holding water in his hand.

The wind at night was cool, and the hot water in his hand was blown cold in a short while.He ate the remaining bag of crisp noodles with cold water, and didn't want to go back to the house, so he leaned against the wall and looked at the sky.

After a long time, he slowly took out his mobile phone and turned on the mobile phone that he hadn't used for a long time.

A bunch of messages came flooding in, and the most was sent by a person named Yin Han.

【I'm Yin Han, where are you? 】

【--say. 】

【Ameng went to look for you, didn't he?What did you say to her? 】

【Hang Anhe, see me back. 】

Kou Qiu deleted all Yin Han's text messages with a blank expression, and directly blacklisted this person's new number. There was already a whole row of Yin Han's numbers there, and all of them were imprisoned in the cell. black house.Kou Qiu's hand paused on the text message interface, making sure that there was no interview notification he wanted to see, he couldn't help but sighed softly.

Life is hard.

The system said: [It's really miserable, what should I do? 】

【What do you mean? 】Kou Qiu looked up at the sky quietly, and said deeply, 【Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they must first toil their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions--】

The system interrupted him calmly, saying: [Wake up.Dad, you can't even pay the civil service examination registration fee now. 】

Kou Qiu said: [Yes. 】

It seems to be a salted fish that has lost its dream.

He threw the finished packaging bag into the trash, and just about to start to leave, he heard his mobile phone vibrate one after another.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Just in case it was an interview notice, Kou Qiu still pressed the connect button.When the connection was made, an anxious male voice came over immediately, and immediately asked, "An He, where are you?"

Kou Qiu avoided answering and asked him instead: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Yin?"

Yin Han's voice over there paused, as if he choked on being called by his name.Later, he smiled wryly and said, "An He, why do you call me that—"

"Mr. Yin," Kou Qiu interrupted him, "It's not a wise way to waste other people's time like this."

Have you never heard of an inch of time and an inch of gold?

My time is to serve the people, it is worth thousands of gold, I am afraid you will not be able to afford it.

Yin Han said: "I want to ask you. Ah Meng went to look for you again, right? Has she seen you? What did you say to her?"

Kou Qiu asked back, "What did you say?"

"What happened before," Yin Han's breathing sank a bit, as if spraying through the screen, "An He, I know what you are thinking, but you are the young master of the Hang family, and you don't understand us at all. The pain of suffering—I also thought that I didn’t want children, I thought I only wanted a platonic spiritual love, but now I’m sober, I have to have children, and you—hello? Hello?”

There was no sound, only a grim beep.

The other party hung up the phone.

Yin Han stared at the mobile phone in his hand for a long while, then slowly put it down.As soon as he put the phone in the drawer, he heard the bedroom door being pushed open. The woman outside the door scolded the nanny a few times, stepped on her high heels, and threw the call record in her hand in front of him.

"Yin Han, are you really good?" She gritted her teeth, "Still calling him?"

If it goes on for a long time, it will always be annoying.

And this is not the first time.

Yin Han flicked the piece of paper aside, looking a little irritable.

"I haven't asked you yet," he said, "why did you go to him again? Ann and the job he just found—"

"What's wrong with the job he just found?" His wife folded her arms, raised her eyebrows, and her voice suddenly became higher, "If you didn't call him in different ways every day, I would need to make a trip. Looking for him? Need to find someone to make trouble in front of his unit?"

Yin Han's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Are you making trouble again?!"

"Yeah, it's a mess." The woman said nonchalantly, sneered, and threw the bag in her hand on the bed, "His job is gone. Why, you are angry, distressed, and want to beat me for him ?”

Yin Han's handsome face was clouded with dark clouds, and he gave her a hard look.As if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything, stood up and walked out.

"You can think clearly," Meng Jiaojiao behind her didn't stop him at all, but laughed instead, "He can't give birth to you."

Yin Han didn't speak, but his steps slowed down.He turned around and headed for the kitchen.

Meng Jiaojiao just lay down on the bed and threw off both high heels.

Ridiculous, she thought.

Why do you believe that a relationship that you can't even get a marriage certificate is love?

--ridiculous.

When Kou Qiu woke up the next day, he first took public transportation to other urban areas, and inquired about the rental prices there.After listening, he silently touched his pocket and swallowed hard.

【Let’s do this, Azai,” he said, 【Let’s sleep under the bridge. 】

I can't afford it!

But Meng Jiaojiao already knew the original residence, and the phone call went directly to the house.If you don't move, someone will come to your door within two days.

However, Meng Jiaojiao's family still has some power, Kou Qiu has no money and no power now, the whole poor little girl living on the street dare not confront her head on.

The two jobs I found with great difficulty were mixed up, and I left early. I didn't even work for half a month, and I didn't get much salary.Kou veteran cadre walked slowly along the side of the road, wondering if he should let go of his dream first, and return to his great old career, so as to make some money.

The system boy asked: [What old business? 】

He had never heard of it.

After a while, Kou Qiu borrowed a board from the store, bought a stack of white paper cruelly, sat down by the river, and began to draw for others.

"Don't miss it when you pass by," he proclaimed, "Draw a portrait!"

He was good-looking, and there was an aura in his eyebrows that made people want to get close unconsciously.When some passers-by saw his appearance, they really stopped and looked at him.

"Little handsome boy, what can you draw?"

Kou Qiu didn't answer him, but his subordinates kept moving, and quickly drew a sketch on the white paper a few times.Although the details have not been fully processed, the charm in it has already been compared with the portraits of passers-by.

This is the skill that the third generation learned when he was a student of the Academy of Fine Arts. It was full at that time, and it can still be used now.

Passers-by were really happy to see him so agile, and wanted to pay.

"Tell me, how much?"

Kou Qiu said, "You can watch it, comrade."

Five yuan is okay, ten yuan is also fine, as long as it can give me a bite to eat.

The passer-by gave him a green 50 yuan bill, which made Kou Qiu stunned.

so much?

"It won't do," he said no. "It's too much."

The passer-by frowned and said, "But I don't have any change?"

When Kou Qiu heard this, he immediately dug out the little cash he had left, and found 45 for the other party.

He took the fifty and put it in his pocket as a treasure.

He happily showed off to his cub, 【Azai, have you seen this, I earned it.This is the food expenses for the next few days! 】

system:【......】

Dad, if you hold back your words, I want to cry.
