Pet King

A long time ago, when Cai Meiwen was still in junior high school, she once had a puppy in her family, which was not what she wanted to raise, but after returning from school one day, she saw an additional puppy in the house. The parents explained that It was her aunt ’s dog. Because she moved to a new floor to the sixth floor and climbed the stairs every day to walk the dog was too tired, so she did n’t want to raise it. Come over and ask them if they want to raise it. If not, they will be sent to the countryside.

When the parents saw that this puppy was singular and smart, and in the spirit of not buying and selling at no cost, they left it. Anyway, her aunt said that the dog is very good, and you can feed it with some leftovers. Can help housekeeping.

At that time, the real pet industry in China did not exist. Everyone kept pets blindly, lacked relevant knowledge, and lacked a channel to understand relevant knowledge. Unlike when you search the Internet and know everything ... Most people's economy is not rich. Even cats are fed with leftovers, not to mention dogs.

At that time, Cai Meiwen ... probably was in adolescence and rebellion. She had a strong sense of rebellion. She felt that her parents were not pleasing to the eye and her teacher was not pleasing to the eye. She mingled with several girlfriends, dying, smoking, applying lipstick, Wearing earrings, skipping classes, swearing ... a questionable girl.

Whether it is Xiao Celery or Zhang Zi'an, including everyone who knows Cai Meiwen now, it is absolutely impossible to imagine what she was then, even if she sometimes dreamed of herself then, she would suspect that stranger when she woke up. Who is the young girl? Was he possessed by vixen or Huang Daxian?

In fact, this is also normal. People's personalities will change, or people have multiple personalities, but only focus on one of them at different times. Are many people's personalities different from those on the Internet in reality? ?

In short, at that time, Cai Meiwen didn't even look at her parents, and of course she didn't look at this uninvited dog. As for the reason ... Does the rebellious teenager need a reason?

If you have to find a reason, you may think that her living space has been occupied. After all, her home is small in size. It was a common two-bedroom and one-living room at that time. Dog legs are pinched, walls and door panels are as thin as paper, and at night you can hear some sounds that should not be heard-of course, it refers to the sound of parents sighing and sighing for her problem girl, not other easily confusing. sound.

Cai Meiwen came into the door and saw this puppy, so she didn't get angry at one place, and immediately got angry, and said why did n’t you raise a dog with me? Am I not a member of this family? I don't agree with keeping a dog, you send it back, where you send it from!

The parents were in a dilemma. Her aunt had been away for a long time. Besides, she promised others, how could she regret it? So they didn't agree, but told her how cute you look at this puppy, and leave it to you to relieve boredom.

She didn't want to have a pet at all, and she didn't like the dog. Although she didn't know the type of dog at the time, it looked like a mixed-haired dog, and it didn't look expensive at all--this is also, Auntie Poor family, how can it be a precious dog, and how can it be given away in vain?

This dog was also scared by her thunderous voice, and she shrank under the coffee table, which made her snort even more ... Of course, if this dog was not afraid of her voice, he bravely barked at her, Then she has more reason to send it away. Anyway, as long as it is not pleasing to the eye, there will always be a reason.

She went back to her bedroom with anger, slammed the door, and slammed her schoolbag into her bed, venting her dissatisfaction.

Her parents have become accustomed to this, and sighed outside. When she was a kid, she was still such a cute and well-behaved girl. How did she grow up like this? Who did this learn from? What can I do after this?

Cai Meiwen pressed her head with a pillow, she didn't want to let the old-fashioned nonsense pour into her ears, and she didn't even hear them tell her to eat.

What to do in the future? In the future, of course, you will live your life happily, so don't live a lifetime like they do!

She was deeply affected by the newsstands selling pirated Hong Kong and Taiwan books at the school gate, immersed in unrealistic illusions about the future, and outlined in her mind the illusion of being windy and raining, and slowly falling asleep. Already.

I don't know how long it took before she woke up hungry.

When I got up from the bed, the sky outside was dark, and the room was dark.

She turned on the light and walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

No one responded.

The living room and master bedroom were also black, and only moonlight came in from the balcony.

She turned on the light in the living room and saw a note on the dining table.

Both parents went to work the night shift, leaving a message telling her to stay in the pot for dinner, let her warm up before eating, do n’t eat cold, it will eat the stomach, and also told her to wake up and lock the door with a latch before eating Go to bed early after dinner—it's a cliché, nothing new.

Her dad is a factory worker, and she works in three shifts. Her mother is a hospital nurse. She often has to work night shifts. It is not unusual to rush out for the night shift like this.

At that time, incandescent lamps consumed large amounts of electricity, and their lives were not affluent. Unlike now, no one at home is also lit with night lights, and they are all turned off when they go out.

She threw the note away, yawned and went into the kitchen, preparing to eat.

The kitchen didn't turn on the lights, but there was moonlight, and after all, it was a very familiar home. You can't go wrong with your eyes closed. You can feel the location of things when you touch the dark.

She opened the lid of the pressure cooker. Inside it was a steaming drawer. One layer was rice and the other was vegetables, but it was cold because it had been kept for too long.

Relying on her good health, she took her parents' advice as a breeze, and because she was troublesome with hot rice, she brought out the food directly, and planned to eat it so cold.

Compared to this, she has been thinking about what to play tonight. Of course, it is impossible to write homework. There is so much shame in writing homework.

At that time, the phone bill was relatively expensive. Her family only had a landline phone, because she always burned the phone, which caused the monthly bills to be too high. Her parents had warned her seriously, and then they burned the phone. .

She thought about something else, absently taking out the tableware from the cupboard, and as soon as she turned around, she got a furry ankle.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

With a scream, she threw all the chopsticks in her hands and smashed to the ground.

That thing was also startled, and ran out of the kitchen quickly, and she saw that it was the puppy, and she forgot about it after she slept.

"Dead dog! What scares me!" She shouted angrily.

The puppy retracted under the coffee table again, only staring at her tremblingly.

The bowl broke on the ground. This was not an empty bowl. It was filled with rice and vegetables. She had intended to watch TV while eating. Now she was buckled on the floor.

Fortunately, today, her parents left more food than usual, and there are foods in the pot. She is not hungry.

"Wait for you when I'm full!" She glanced at it fiercely.

She served another bowl of meals, turned to the living room to turn on the TV, and watched the TV while eating. The empty bowl after eating was thrown on the dining table, and would be packed when her parents came home from work.

As for the broken bowl on the ground and the deducted meals, she certainly didn't care.

Soon, she was immersed in the world of martial arts and variety shows, fascinated by watching, smirking while watching, or committing idiots to handsome male stars.

At about 10pm, the TV series and variety show were over. She was thirsty and got up from the sofa to drink a glass of water.

At this moment, she suddenly saw that the leftovers on the ground were gone, and almost disappeared completely.

The puppy licked his lips and looked at her contentedly.

"Well! That dog is cheap!"

She poked her lips, which was fine, at least to make the parents complain less when they came home tomorrow.

She went to the kitchen to pour water, and it followed the kitchen, staring at the glass in her hand as if thirsty.

She murmured a glass of cold water and ignored her mournful gaze.

Woo ~

At this moment, it whimpered in its throat and turned to stare at the door.

The TV was still on, and the sound was quite loud. Cai Meiwen did not notice any abnormalities, ignored the dog, and sat back on the sofa after drinking water, changing channels boringly.

At ten thirty in the overnight, there were no interesting shows. She changed all the TV stations she could receive, and she was sleepy because of boring shows.

Forget it, let's call the dead party. It should be fine for a while.

The phone is also placed in the living room, not far from the TV. Make sure to turn off the TV or turn down the voice when making a call, otherwise you cannot hear clearly.

She turned off the TV, picked up the telephone receiver, was about to dial, and suddenly noticed that the puppy was still staring at the door intently, occasionally shaking her tail to look at her, and then continued to stare at the door.

"Is this dog stupid?" She sneered, "don't want to stay in this home? Want to run back to your original home? OK, then I'll let you out!"

When she patted her head, she was really confused. Why did she think of such a great idea?

Open the door and let it go, and tell your parents that when she opened the door to school, it ran away from the crack of the door. Can't you get rid of it easily?

She said to do it, and immediately walked towards the door, intending to open the door and drive it away.

When parents went out to work, they locked the lock on the room door, but the lock was relatively simple at that time, in the eyes of the person who would unlock it, it was not a thing, unlike the super-B lock cylinder, so they told her to plug in after waking up Bolts as double insurance.

Ooo ~

The puppy seemed to be agitated and kept moving around.

Her hand had touched the lock and was about to unscrewing it.

Wang!

It had not been called since entering the house and it suddenly called out, facing the door.

There is a corridor outside the door. They live in the factory's family quarters.

The voice-activated lights outside the door lighted up, and there seemed to be a dark shadow in the door mirror, and then a series of footsteps hurriedly disappeared on the stairs.

Cai Meiwen did not put her eyes on the door mirror at that time, so she didn't see what the shadow was, but her heart instinctively trembled, cold sweat oozed from her palm, and her palm moved to the latch unconsciously. Instead of unlocking it, Gently insert the latch.

She is rebellious, but not stupid, and afraid.

Judging by the height of the door mirror from the ground, the shadow can only be human.

Who walked by?

She lives on the fourth floor, and there are two floors upstairs. Upstairs and downstairs are factory employees and their families. Due to the three-shift work system, it is common to go out or go home at midnight.

So the shadow just now is probably just a neighbor who went out to work the night shift, just passing by her house.

The problem is that when everyone goes up or down at night, they stomp their feet or cough and wake up the voice-activated light to avoid stepping on the stairs, but she doesn't hear the person coughing or stomping.

Of course, it might also be that she hadn't heard the person stomping while turning on the TV before, and the sound-activated light went out when the person passed her door, and the sound of the dog woke up the sound-activated light, which seemed to be a reasonable explanation.

But what if not?

She shuddered suddenly. When she was laughing and laughing while watching TV, did the man stay quietly at the door, standing in the dark, listening to the movement in the room?

Excluding temporary shifts, the factory's schedule is public, and everyone can see that the nurses have a certain regular night shift, so a caring person can actually know when her parents go out and go home ~ www. wuxiaspot.com ~ and which day will go to night shift at the same time, including the commuting time of the neighbors upstairs and downstairs, you can know about it.

Speaking of that era, people now often miss how sweet the fruit was and how simple life was, but it is not at all. The public security situation at that time was much worse than it is now, just because there is no internet, the news is blocked, and the information The blockade is also very serious, so even if there is a major homicide, few ordinary people know that everyone thinks they are living in a peaceful world of singing and dancing, and they don't know to be vigilant.

The same is true of Cai Meiwen. She has not been exposed to any danger since she was a child. In her impression, the family courtyard is a worker of her despised fly camp, and this night is the first time she was afraid of the silent night. , Afraid of being alone.

She usually wanted her parents to work 24 hours a day, as long as she cooked meals for her, and didn't need to stay at home to hinder her eyes, but now she is extremely eager for them to go home temporarily.

She stared deadly at the door, the door mirror was black again, the voice-activated light went out, and the corridor was dark.

If she suddenly coughed aloud and awakened the voice-activated lamp, would she see ... a sloppy face in the door mirror?

She stepped back step by step, for fear of making a little noise.

Crunch.

Her slippers stepped on a broken bowl and made a soft noise.

The sound is too low and the sounding light is not so sensitive.

Woo ~

There was another furry thing on her ankle, the puppy.

It seemed to relax, licking her lips and staring at her, turning her head to look at the kitchen from time to time.

"..."

She stomped into the kitchen and filled it with a saucer of water.

It licked the water, and kept shaking its tail.

At least tonight, she doesn't plan to let it go.
