Puppy Auction
In silence, they arrived at Mr. Zhai's residence.
In her early years, she invested her family fortune into the unfathomable research of ancient stars. Her personal residence is not luxurious, but was built by herself after her decadent retirement.
Its architectural style is out of tune with the surroundings, like an old building that has traveled through time and mistakenly entered the modern world.
The walls are white and the tiles are green, with warm tones.
The audience's eyes lit up.
[Wow! This old man is amazing. Although there are obvious problems with the underlying structure, it looks like an ancient building from the outside! ]
[Could it be that she traveled through time? Otherwise, how could she recover without any information? ]
[It seems like these are all her dreams... Could this world really have some metaphysics? ]
The group obtained permission and entered through the gate.
Ms. Zhai has never been married or had children, and the people who take care of her now are all her former students.
These students are actually quite old.
The middle-aged man walking towards them had sad eyes. He barely perked up when he saw Mu Xing: "Is that Xiao Xing? The teacher is still awake now, go see her."
Mu Xing couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Why did the teacher suddenly get into trouble? Can he recover?"
Her senior brother sighed, unable to hide his sadness: "It's a heart disease..."
He brushed shoulders with Mu Xing, patted his junior sister on the shoulder, and said softly: "The teacher has persisted for a long, long time. Don't bring up those topics anymore. Let her have a good rest."
"Brother, you..." Mu Xing understood the hidden meaning behind his words and turned to look at him, "Do you want to give up too?"
The senior brother smiled bitterly: "Xiaoxing, you are indeed the student who is most like a teacher. When you were young, you were as determined as an old man... But people like me who are weak are the majority. With such a trend, how long can you, a determined leader, last?"
“The winding and thorny road may not be scary. What is scary is the hopeless situation.”
"Okay, go see the teacher."
He shook his head, walked out hunched over, and said no more words.
The group stood there in silence for a long time, until the little golden retriever below tentatively bit someone's trouser leg and walked forward, and they came to their senses.
Afterwards, they came to Mr. Zhai's room.
Several young people have seen this old woman. In their impression, she should be a kind and somewhat playful old woman. The weight of time is fully displayed on her, as if every wrinkle is engraved with wisdom and time.
She never cries in front of outsiders, and always shows determination, like a boulder that will never be frustrated by difficulties.
But now the rock is crying.
As soon as she saw Mu Xing walking towards her, she began to cry silently.
The three young men who followed were startled and lowered their heads instantly, not daring to look any further. Not knowing who took the lead, they pushed each other out of the room, dragging out the little golden retriever who was whimpering and wanted to see the old man.
[Ah, witnessing the tragic end of an idealist, it really hurts...]
[Ahhh, no no no! Old man, look! A saury, a good friend of mankind, is right outside! !]
[Woo woo, can you put the little golden retriever in there? I think the old lady really needs a stork to comfort her TT]
But the scene of Mr. Zhai losing his composure was obviously not something the three younger generations could bear to watch. The three young men squatted obediently at the door, staring into the air in a daze in synchronized movements.
The little golden retriever hummed and rubbed against everyone helplessly, but there was no improvement, so he also began to stare blankly.
Inside, the atmosphere was equally silent.
Seeing the teacher crying, Mu Xing also began to cry, feeling so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
Even Elder Zhai recovered first, and raised his hand with great effort to pat her. His breath was slow, but his voice was as gentle as ever: "Okay, do you still need me, your patient, to comfort you?"
Mu Xing wiped his eyes, bit his lip and shook his head.
Her teacher didn't ask anything else. As usual, he asked her about the progress of her research, the problems she was facing, and the gains she had made from her research.
"Okay, everything is good."
Mr. Zhai slowly closed his eyes and breathed lightly.
After a while, she said softly: "Axing, will you blame me?"
Before Mu Xing replied, she continued on her own:
"I am very selfish. I advised other students to choose another path."
"But only you, I hope you can hold on, I won't persuade you."
"I can imagine that you might be under more pressure than I was at that time, but I still don't want you to give up..."
"You are most like me, so I hope to use myself to tie you down so that you will not give up Guxing..."
"When people get old, their tempers change and become worse..."
The old man's words were already somewhat confused, and he was obviously somewhat unconscious and about to fall into another round of sleep.
Mu Xing blinked suddenly, gently held the old man's cold hand, and almost bit her tongue to speak: "I do, teacher, this is my own wish."
She almost poured out the things she thought were useful:
"We received a special message a few days ago. It is speculated that it is from the fleet that explored the relics of the ancient star. They may be able to come back alive."
"The Lu family's research institute has not collapsed. They are still holding on. Everyone still remembers you and is trying hard to get you to come and visit."
"The Lu family has a strange species that I have never seen before. It is familiar with human interactions and can sense subtle human emotions, as if it has been domesticated by humans..."
These are her speculations, and they are just speculations.
There hasn't been enough time, and she hasn't come up with any truly credible results.
But she just wanted to say:
"The future is promising. You have to wait until that day comes."
The old man's pupils were a little dazed, but he was barely brought back to his senses by the student's series of words.
She exhaled tremblingly, and suddenly patted Mu Xing's wrist with her hand, saying softly: "Don't be reckless... It's better to have no unreliable results... I'm not leaving yet, don't mess up the research...!"
Mu Xing was crying at first, but when she was patted, she burst into laughter and quickly told the truth: "I am indeed not mature enough... So, I brought that strange species here, can you take a look at it yourself? If I make any mistakes, I need you to teach me again..."
Seeing that the teacher was still energetic, she quickly opened the door, grabbed the dazed furry kid in, and then closed the door immediately.
Little Golden Retriever: Oh! Oh?
The puppy that was suddenly pulled over was completely confused. It looked bewilderedly at the culprit who pulled it over. Before it could bark a few times, its butt was slapped several times and it was driven to the bed like a sheep.
"Woo?"
The little golden retriever groaned a few times out of habit, but he was not really angry. Instead, his attention was attracted by the old man on the bed.
Small animals are very smart. They can keenly sense that the person in front of them is very weak.
The puppy felt sad all of a sudden.
It straightened up, rested its chin on the old woman's hand, let out a few sobs from its throat, and rubbed the old woman's wrinkled wrist with its wet nose, trying to give her some warmth with its soft head.
The old tree-like hand moved slightly, touched the soft fur of the small animal, and stroked it weakly.
“Woo woo…”
The little golden retriever whined, but was not happy about being touched. Instead, he frowned and looked worried.
Woo?
This person's hands are so cold.
The puppy couldn't bear it, so it licked the hands hard, trying to warm them up.
A certain light gradually appeared in Mr. Zhai's originally dim eyes.
"You..." She tried to get up, and Mu Xing hurried over to help, helping the teacher sit up.
The originally lifeless old woman suddenly became energetic, her body was still weak, but the color in her eyes gradually became vivid.
She gently touched the little guy's soft and fluffy fur, as if she was touching some rare treasure.
The little golden retriever let her touch him obediently, but as she was touching him, the little dog felt something was wrong. He felt that the way he touched her was...
At this time, Mr. Zhai spoke:
"Axing, where are your research notes?"
"Show me the preliminary research results of each part!"
Little Golden Retriever: ...
Little golden retriever: “Boo~”
Is the puppy not cute enough?
Why do you only think about studying puppies QAQ!
【Hahahahahahaha.】
[After checking their eyes, no wonder they are teacher and student, goose goose goose!! ]
[How cruel! Shouldn't I pet the puppy more at this time? ]
[I said, except for the beginning, the way he touched me afterwards became emotionless hahahaha. ]
[Damn it, the puppy thought he would be praised, but ended up meeting two emotionless researchers hahahaha!!]
[Wow, but it’s good. The old man is in good spirits now! With a new goal, he won’t fall down so easily, right? 】
That's true.
Even Mu Xing needed to meet the little golden retriever two or three times before he realized how special it was, but Mr. Zhai had already discovered it after just a short time together.
This discovery almost gave the originally disheartened old man a new life.
When the three young men entered the room with Mu Xing's permission, they were surprised to find that the originally lifeless Mr. Zhai had sat up and was touching the little golden retriever's head with great energy.
this……? ?
They were puzzled and bewildered, always suspecting that they had entered the wrong door and arrived at a parallel universe.
"Hmm~"
A little golden retriever who was also skeptical about his dog life ran towards them, which dispelled the three dogs' suspicions, but it was obvious that they were still in a trance.
Among those present, Mu Xing, who was depressed when they set out, and Zhai Lao, who looked weak when they first met, were more energetic.
...What is this!
Something is wrong!!
【Haha ...
[The four little ones doubted their lives and gave birth to geese, geese, geese. You don’t understand the world of idealists~]
[Wow, the spirited Zhai Lao is so interesting. She is so gentle and not arrogant at all. She seems like a considerate and open-minded grandmother.]
However, after all, the teacher fell ill due to a heart disease, and even if the little golden retriever briefly aroused his desire to survive, he could not relax. So Mu Xing quickly said goodbye to the teacher, and asked him to take good care of his health and come to the Lu family research institute as soon as possible to take care of the little golden retriever in person.
The old man agreed reluctantly.
Lu Qingxuan, who was eating melons at the side, suddenly realized:!
I have made a fortune thanks to my family, and I can actually hire Grandma Zhai! !
After returning from the visit, everyone had their own worries. It just so happened that the aircraft they used when they came here had some problems, so they stayed around nearby to walk around, trying to ease their mood.
Lu Qingxuan, who was knocked unconscious by a falling pie, quickly found a corner to leave a message to inform his brother what happened today; Mu Xing, who successfully awakened his teacher's desire to survive, walked in front with an empty look in his eyes; Shao Xian and Luo Bai were still angry, and were separated by a long distance on the left and right.
The little golden retriever in the middle: …
It sighed.
【Hahahaha the puppy sighed, sighed! 】
[It’s so funny, look at what you’ve done to your children! ]
【Life is not easy, Xiu Gou sighs. 】
[Little Golden Retriever: This family will fall apart sooner or later without me.jpg]
In the midst of a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, something strange happened.
First there was a noise from a crowd in the distance, followed by many people screaming.
Then this wave of panicked people rushed in their direction, almost instantly knocking several people into confusion.
"There's a monster!!"
Someone shouted.
The astonished audience pulled the camera and indeed found a tall, ugly alien species among the crowd.
It chased the fleeing crowd and gradually approached the direction of a few people.
【Ahhh, so ugly!!】
[What on earth am I relying on? Everyone, run! ! ]
[Everyone has dispersed, Little Golden Retriever, hurry up and hide... Hey, why are you running towards the little prince? He is the weakest one in the group! ! ]
Luo Bai was in poor health. He started to gasp for breath after being squeezed by the crowd and was unknowingly swept into a remote corner.
Luckily, this place looked safe. Besides, apart from the first group of people, no one else ran here, so the possibility of monsters being attracted here was very low.
It was a good thing, but the little prince slowly narrowed his eyes, his expression obscure and unclear.
"Woof!"
His thoughts were interrupted by a childish cry at his feet. Luo Bai looked at the ground and found a little golden retriever wagging its tail. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You... why are you following me?"
“Woof woof!”
The little golden retriever circled around his feet and started barking fiercely if someone approached, obviously protecting him.
When no one comes near, it will proudly raise its little head towards the little prince, and shake its little tail like a propeller.
rest assured!
The puppy will protect you!
Luo Bai: ...
He touched his chest unconsciously, and said softly: "Do I still need your protection? Even if I am weak, I am much older than you..."
The suspicious little prince thought so.
Perhaps, the little guy was smart enough and found that there were few people here, so he came over.
Protection or something, maybe he was just being sentimental...
Thinking of this, Luo Bai was still very happy. He planned to bring more fun things to the little golden retriever later. However, he did not expect that the stranger who was originally in the distance ignored the crowd on the other side and ran straight towards him.
Luo Bai didn't move.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong.
After watching for a long time, this so-called strange species seems to be powerful, but in fact it is vulnerable. How could it have the courage to charge into the crowd?
It's like someone is manipulating me to do something...
What to do?
Luo Bai's expression suddenly turned cold, but he remained motionless, staring coldly at the huge monster running towards him.
Let him see what the person behind the scenes wants to do...
“Woof woof woof!!”
People have their own little tricks, but the little golden retriever doesn’t think so much.
The humans to be protected are scared and will not run away, so the puppy must defeat the bad guys.
These monsters are huge compared to humans, and they are obviously even more terrifying to a short puppy.
With its legs trembling and its tail tucked between its legs, the puppy barked several times in a ferocious manner, and a low growl came out of its throat, but it still failed to scare away the monster.
A behemoth several times its size approaches.
Boom——
Dongdong——
Boom boom boom——!!
The ground seemed to be shaking.
“Ouch!!”
Finally, after the monster broke through the safety distance set by the puppy, the puppy, which was already tense to the extreme, suddenly jumped out and bit the monster's leg fiercely!
Then, in the next second, he suddenly let go, rolled on the ground, and let out a pitiful cry of pain.
“Woo woo…”
Luo Bai: ! !
The young prince's original intention of watching coldly disappeared in an instant. Seeing the little guy injured in front of him, murderous intent rose in his heart. He no longer had the idea of leading the person behind the scenes. Instead, he immediately activated the micro-weapons hidden close to his body and tore the monster in front of him into six pieces in an instant.
Then, he immediately rushed to the little golden retriever, squatted down with rapid breathing to check the situation.
Luo Bai was extremely panicked.
Clearly, it was just a strange species that looked good but was useless. It should not have any attack capabilities. From what he knew, it was just a strange species that was occasionally used for cleaning purposes...
Why was the little golden retriever injured? Did someone poison the monster?
He, he should have stopped the little guy and shouldn't have been so self-righteous...!
Don’t be in trouble, don’t be in trouble!!
The little prince's hands trembled slightly as he stopped the little fellow rolling on the ground and opened its mouth to see if there was any bleeding.
His movements paused.
Bad news, bleeding.
but……
All the anger and worry turned into helplessness and amusement at this moment.
The young man spread out his palm, and in it lay what the little golden-haired creature had just spit out.
It was nothing else but two small bloody baby teeth.
——Good news, it’s just a lost tooth.
The Paw Patrol has accomplished great things, but unfortunately lost their baby teeth QAQ!
The puppy's tooth was not injured. It was about to fall out anyway, but it bit something dirty and accidentally fell out, so it hurts ()
[A small play adapted from a meme on the Internet]
The monster is on the rampage——
Luo Bai (expressionless and pretending to be weak): Oh, I'm so scared, just do whatever you want.
The puppy barked at the monster and got hurt.
Luo Bai: ! ! (How dare you——!)
The guards who arrived said: So, Your Highness, what you mean is that this strange species tore itself into six pieces?
Luo Bai (softly): Yes, it’s very scary.
The little golden retriever wagged its tail confidently: Awooo! (It was the puppy who did it!)
