Chapter 4812 Whispers
The old man went to sweep the grave, and when he came back he didn't go out to drink. Instead, he bought a lot of food, returned home, and chatted with one person and one dog.
Many people said that his temper became better after getting a dog.
People also looked a little happier.
He never admitted it.
But in my heart I knew they were right.
……
He's not used to talking nonsense.
I'm not used to expressing my feelings either.
But he knew how important the black dog was to him.
That was the family that stayed with him for almost the rest of his life after he lost all his family members in the first half of his life.
……
The old man slightly tightened his hand holding the black dog.
"Leizi..."
Because he was embarrassed, the old man looked up at a tree not far away, at the sky above, and at the child running past him...
Just don’t look at the black dog in your arms.
"Thank you."
A warm smile appeared in the old man's eyes.
Thank you Black Dog for appearing in his life.
Thank you Black Dog for always accompanying him.
Thank you Black Dog for waiting for him to wake up every morning...
Thank you Black Dog for sending him out every day...
Thank you Black Dog for waiting for him to come home every day...
Thank you Black Dog for watching TV with him...
Thank you Black Dog for throwing garbage with him...
Thank you Black Dog for dining with him...
Thank you...
There are many more...
There are black dogs in all the fragments of his life.
Black dogs are an essential part of his life.
……
"Leizi."
The old man's cheeks were slightly red.
Too long...
He didn't say these heartfelt words to anyone.
Even if the subject is a dog...
The other party may not even understand his words...
He still felt embarrassed.
……
But he has to say.
He wants Black Dog to know...
Black Dog was...really, really important to him.
……
The old man finally got over his embarrassment.
He lowered his head.
What caught his eye was a black dog with its eyes closed, seemingly sleeping soundly.
He was about to smile-
Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind like lightning, making him a little dizzy.
After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath.
He stopped.
He lowered his head.
Put your face on the black dog's head.
Um.
The warm touch made him feel reassured.
……
The old man laughed like a child who found his favorite toy.
……
Xiao Xiao looked at the old man quietly.
……
Soon...
The smile on the old man's face faded.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, as if trying to smile.
His facial features looked like he was about to cry.
……
The old man's hands were shaking.
The black dog's body slipped slightly.
The old man hugged the black dog tightly reflexively.
The next second, the old man apologized hurriedly, "I'm sorry."
"Leizi, did I hurt you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The old man apologized over and over again.
I don't know when the voice started to sound like crying.
……
"Leizi..."
"Can you answer my question?"
The old man prayed.
"Just one sound."
……
"Leizi..."
A drop of turbid tears slipped from the corner of the old man's eyes.
It fell on the back of the old man's hand.
The old man shrank from being burned.
Immediately, he tightened his hold on the black dog.
……
The old man suddenly looked at Xiao Xiao.
“䱱……”
The old man's voice was trembling.
"Please help me take a look..."
The old man could say no more.
……
Xiao Xiao understood what the old man meant.
He nodded.
He reached out and poked under the black dog's nose.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked at the old man.
……
The old man looked at him with a faint, urgent expectation, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.
Xiao Xiao sighed in his heart.
He shook his head.
……
The old man's face suddenly turned pale. His figure was a little shaky.
……
Xiao Xiao immediately reached out and held the old man's arm.
……
The old man refused to give up.
Even though it was difficult, the old man put his hand under the black dog's nose.
……
A long time...
The old man suddenly looked at Xiao Xiao with excitement.
"It's breathy!"
"Leizi still has breath."
"Leizi-"
The old man's voice stopped suddenly.
……
Xiao Xiao looked at the old man.
……
The old man's lips moved.
"...Really, really..."
"Look again..."
The old man prayed.
……
Xiao Xiao probed the black dog's scent again as the old man wished.
He pulled back.
Facing the old man's expectant and even pleading eyes, he pursed his lips slightly.
He shook his head.
"Grandpa."
"Leizi..."
"Gone."
……
The old man suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard.
If it weren't for Xiao Xiao's support, the old man might have fallen to the ground at this time.
……
The old man lowered his head in a daze.
"...Leizi..."
"Don't sleep."
"We're going home."
……
The old man staggered towards his home.
……
Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to support the black dog's body.
……
The old man used his body to knock open the door.
He was used to leaving the door open during the day.
There is a black dog here, who will come...
Who is unlucky.
……
The old man carefully placed the black dog on the mat where it was accustomed to sleep.
The old man used his hands to make a comb.
He trimmed the black dog's hair step by step.
……
The old man looked serious.
He even seemed a little pious because he was so focused.
……
Xiao Xiao did not disturb the old man.
Cong walked to the old man's side with light steps.
It tilted its head and looked at the old man.
He seemed to be curious about the old man's behavior at this time.
……
The old man looked at the four-leaf clover that fell on the mat.
When he was grooming the black dog, it accidentally fell out of his hand.
He stared at the four-leaf clover in trance for a while.
Then he slowly reached out his hand and carefully picked up the four-leaf clover.
Just such a seemingly ordinary grass...
But it is given the meaning of bringing luck.
……
"...how did you find it?"
The old man's other hand gently stroked the black dog's head.
"You actually know it..."
The old man remembered that he did show the picture of the four-leaf clover to the black dog.
But he never expected that the black dog actually remembered the appearance of the four-leaf clover.
And found a four-leaf clover for him.
"...I asked you why you were so eager to go out some time ago?"
It turns out that as the years grow older, the black dog becomes more and more lazy.
I don’t like running outside as much as before.
Always biting his clothes and asking him to take it out to play.
Instead, it was him who told the black dog, "Let's go out for a walk."
……
"...It's difficult..."
The old man murmured.
Of course he knew that four-leaf clovers were hard to find.
Clover is everywhere.
Four-leaf clover was discovered by pure luck.
"...didn't expect..."
"You brought me something I have never seen in my life..."
"Do you also know that I want to meet Clover..."
Four-leaf clovers bring luck.
And in his life, he had never felt lucky.
He once felt so.
Halfway through his life, he lost all his family members.
Will sadness make you numb?
He doesn't know.
He just felt a little embarrassed about so-called happiness.
……
In the eyes of others, he is a lonely old man with a bad temper and difficult to get close to.
ps: Thank you Qianqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
