Chapter 76
According to the law of conservation of smiles, smiles will not disappear, they will only transfer. Among the one hundred freshmen in the auditorium, not one could smile, including Yu Tu and Gu Hongying.
When he didn't see himself in the high-definition black history vlog clip, Yu Tu was secretly glad in his heart, but he soon found out that he was too happy too early.
He is not in the vlog clip, but he has three pictures in the emoticon package. One is a screenshot of him and Gu Hongying eating noodles in a corner on the second floor of the cafeteria, called [Calm as a Group.JPG], one is him and Gu Hongying whispering in the Piranha Plant, called [Voice Conspiracy.JPG], and the last one is his prototype of a tea tree sapling dragging a package that is N times bigger than him and struggling to walk, with every leaf exerting force, called [Bearing a Heavy Life.GIF].
———The one he was based on wasn't even a picture, it was an animated image!
Yu Tu: “…”
This terrible world should be destroyed as soon as possible!
Gu Hongying couldn't laugh either, because in addition to the two emoticons he shared with Yu Tu, he also had two solo ones. One was of him standing at the staircase entrance on the second floor of the cafeteria with a noodle in his hand, titled [I shouldn't be here, I should be under the car.JPG], and the other was a screenshot of his face being sucked into the air after throwing a small stone at the door of the auditorium, titled [Screaming and Wandering.JPG].
Gu Hongying: “…”
The seniors who stayed quietly in the sub-control room and the main control room and did not go to the front desk to communicate with the freshmen at all, looked at the screens that occupied all four walls and laughed with joy.
Someone even asked knowingly: "Why don't they laugh when they see the happy clips and pictures we carefully prepared?"
The person next to him answered: "Maybe he is born not to like to laugh."
For a moment, the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
After the execution, a mechanical voice that could not be distinguished as male or female was heard in the auditorium. Because the hatred value was too high at this time, no one dared to use their real voice to speak to the freshmen, and all of them used distorted voices.
When the mechanical voice announced in a flat tone that this was the surprise they had prepared for the freshmen, more than a hundred freshmen below began to gnaw their teeth.
Hard! The fist is hard!
Why is there such a shameless tradition?
After teasing the freshmen's blood pressure, the mechanical voice changed the subject and mentioned that the freshmen would participate in a one-month military training.
Although I don't know what the content of the military training in the inner world is, after what happened just now, even a fool would know that it must be very different from the outer world.
The mechanical voice read out an exaggerated speech of praise in a voice without any fluctuations, praising them as the hope of the future. After two or three thousand words, they finally heard the most crucial information: the military training will begin tomorrow night, and they have about one day and one night of rest time. However, the mechanical voice did not mention a word about the specific content of the military training - it was hard not to suspect that they were holding back bad water.
The chaotic morning finally passed. In order to comfort the wounded hearts of the freshmen, canteens one to nine prepared extra rich dishes. The freshmen had automatically divided into several small groups. The prank came suddenly, and some people were trapped in one place. After working together or suffering together, they always developed some sympathy and friendship.
The place with the most people is where Yu Tu and Gu Hongying are. They all have experience of being tableware together, so they are more familiar with each other than with others.
As they were all students who had just reached adulthood, they did not have many considerations when making friends. After thanking Yu Tu and Jin Hua (Pearl Bird) for their help, they all began to denounce the conscienceless seniors.
The second-year students who just walked into the cafeteria: "..."
They silently covered their rank badges on their chests and pretended that they heard nothing.
What do the seniors do have to do with the sophomores?
*
At night, Yu Tu lay in bed unable to sleep. On the college's official website, the number of downloads of the [Gengxu Year Emoji Series] had reached three digits, and his animated picture of a tea tree carrying a package and carrying a heavy burden had also skyrocketed in number.
Of course, he noticed this because a certain scumbag tribe leader sent him this animated picture before going to bed, with the following text attached:
[Hey~ Whose little tea tree seedling is this? It's so cute. I don't know what color sack it likes? ]
Yu Tu: “…”
How come the pictures on the school's official website have been uploaded to the outside world?!
A certain clan leader who specifically asked the principal for authorization to download this year's emoticon package has hidden his merits and fame.
Yu Tu turned over angrily, still unable to fall asleep. He simply closed his eyes, and his consciousness connected the "thread" in his mind with the teahouse, and cut into the identity of the Nevernight Marquis.
When the little gray dog saw him appear, it woofed and rushed over, with its tail wagging wildly behind it like a small propeller.
Yu Tu had accidentally turned back to his original form before, and time was tight, so he could only appear hurriedly every day to prepare a large bowl of dog food and water for the little gray dog, and then hurriedly log off. It had been three or four days since Yu Tu had taken care of it.
Yu Tu originally thought that after the zombie incident was resolved, someone would come to the teahouse to find him, so that he could hand over the strange little gray dog to professionals. But he waited and waited, and everyone seemed to have forgotten his presence and there was no movement.
Yu Tu tried to hint at Elder Guiyu, but the only answer he got was, "Don't worry so much about children. Be careful of malnutrition and not growing tall. We adults will solve the problem."
Thinking of this, Yu Tu sighed. He picked up the ball that the little gray dog had brought from his knees and started playing ball throwing with it.
When the ball is thrown, the little gray dog spreads out its four paws to grab it, and then happily brings it back with its tail wagging. Although it looks weird, it cannot be denied that it is indeed very cute and healing.
After playing with it for several rounds, Yu Tu heard a "gurgle" sound coming from the little gray dog's stomach - it was hungry.
Yu Tu: “…”
He skillfully produced a bowl of dog food, and the little gray dog rushed over and started showing off wildly.
Raising a dog really burns energy, especially this dog is an exceptional eater.
After happily showing off two large bowls of food, the little greyhound finally lay down contentedly, turning over its belly and groaning, looking a bit like it was full.
Yu Tu squatted down and held it in his arms, rubbing its belly helplessly. As he was rubbing, he suddenly felt a pain in his fingertips—the little gray dog bit Yu Tu's fingertips, and bright red blood oozed out.
At the same time, a contract appeared in his mind.
After Yu Tu finished reading the contents of the contract, he looked at the little gray dog in his arms, who was staring at him with a pair of big black and wet eyes and was obviously a little nervous, and he held his forehead with his hand speechlessly.
The little gray dog used Yu Tu's blood to construct a companion contract. The content of the contract can be roughly summarized into three items. First, after signing the contract, the two people can summon each other; second, when the contract is open, the two parties share their thoughts; third, when one party is seriously injured and life-threatening, the other party can choose to share half of the injury.
There is a fourth item, which was added by the little gray dog himself - during the period of the contract, Yu Tu must ensure that it does not go hungry!
This is very important, because the little grayhound emphasized it three times at the end of the contract! In order to write the fourth item, it even made concessions on the first three items. If the first three items happened, Yu Tu could choose to unilaterally refuse.
Yu Tu did not accept this contract which was quite beneficial to him. He stared into the little greyhound's eyes and explained the pros and cons to it with a stern face: "I can reject you unilaterally, but you cannot reject me. The contract is unfair to you. Even if we do not sign the companion contract, I will not let you go hungry."
The little gray dog's eyes became even wetter: "Woof~"
Following its cry, the contract in Yu Tu's mind changed again. An extra line of words appeared after the fourth clause: "During the term of the contract, Yu Tu must ensure that it does not go hungry."
【Whoever regrets is a puppy! 】
Yu Tu: “…”
It seems like he didn't listen at all.
But...Yu Tu asked: "If you are not a puppy, what are you?"
The little gray dog barked "woof" and "aww", but because they couldn't communicate with each other, they could only stare at each other - the content of the contract was originally difficult to delete or modify, and using this to answer the question seemed too heartless.
Seeing that Yu Tu refused to sign, the contract in his mind became anxious, and began to force the deal. Then, the white line in Yu Tu's consciousness that was connected to the teahouse contract whipped it hard, and it spun like a top - much like the vine that he used to whip the zombie's face very smoothly.
The little gray dog in Yu Tu's arms cried out in pain for a moment, and then the spinning top in his consciousness, no, his companion Qie, continued to rush forward with a kind of Xiu Gou-like persistence.
In the end, the man and the dog, who could not communicate with each other, made gestures and signed the companionship contract, which stipulated that Yu Tu could unilaterally refuse under normal circumstances, but when faced with serious danger or life-threatening situations, he had to respond to the call.
After they stumbled through signing the companion contract, the little gray dog fell into a coma-like sleep. Its mental strength was not stable to begin with, and it was exhausted from people chasing to sign contracts.
The little gray puppy was sleeping soundly on Yu Tu's lap. After feeding the dog for a month, Yu Tu finally figured out its breed—the situation was really a bit complicated.
The little gray dog was just an ordinary stray puppy, living a precarious life on the edge of the city every day. Until one day when it was in danger of life and on the verge of death, it accidentally activated the almost thin Taowu bloodline. The activation of the bloodline of the divine beast changed its appearance. Its fur turned blue-gray, its ears became like cat ears, and its limbs were a bit like a tiger... In short, it no longer looked like a puppy.
But the bad thing is, because Taowu's bloodline is so weak, it was basically used up after its appearance was transformed. Apart from being much stronger than an ordinary adult dog and a little smarter, the puppy did not inherit any special abilities.
The puppy originally had an ordinary appearance, but after it became weird-looking, it was kicked out of the "dog class" among other stray dogs. It used to be able to pick up leftovers from the trash can and beg for food from kind passers-by with its well-behaved and docile personality, but now all its hopes have been dashed.
The puppy had been hit by stones and garbage thrown at him by the naughty kids. They shouted and called him a "monster". The smart puppy could not only sense their malice but also understand the meaning behind their words. The puppy became more and more afraid to appear in front of people.
So it avoided people during the day and carefully avoided places where stray dogs foraged for food at night. It could hardly find anything to eat all day long, and its stomach was never full. After finally finding some leftovers and wolfing them down, the puppy still felt hungry, but its stomach was indeed bulging again.
The puppy didn't understand.
But one day when it woke up, it suddenly found that it had become smaller, and looked like the stray puppies that were just learning to walk.
But the puppies have mothers, but the puppies don't.
The puppy became smaller and its strength seemed to have decreased as well. The puppy couldn't find any food in the garbage dump and it looked weird. It was almost starving to death.
On the day when it was about to starve to death, it mustered up the courage to run out from its hiding corner. There was a half-eaten steamed bun next to an old man who was picking up trash. He was drinking water with his head tilted back. The steamed bun was so white and so fragrant. The puppy suddenly had strength. It had never run so fast before. It pounced over fiercely and bit the half-eaten white steamed bun in one bite.
The old man who was picking up garbage slapped the puppy hard, making the puppy dizzy, but it held the half steamed bun tightly in its mouth and did not let go even after it fell to the ground.
The old man who was picking up garbage was about to give the puppy a kick, but when he saw the size of the puppy, he retracted his foot, swearing a few words and limping away, dragging the plastic bottles and cardboard boxes.
The puppy ate half of the steamed bun, but he was still very hungry. He was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, so he searched the trash cans everywhere, but he didn't find any leftovers. Instead, he found some scattered express boxes and plastic bottles. He took these broken things out of the trash cans and hid them in a secluded corner.
The next day, when the puppy met the old man picking up garbage, the puppy led him to see the small pile of garbage that it had worked on for half the night. The old man unceremoniously crushed the express boxes and plastic bottles and stuffed them into his large woven bag. The puppy followed him quietly, and when the old man rummaged through the trash can and found leftovers, he would throw them on the ground, and the puppy would pounce on them and start eating them.
The puppy was very happy. Although it didn't know why it was hungry after eating, this kind of hunger was bearable.
The puppy picked up express boxes and plastic bottles for several nights, and every morning he would gather them up and give them to the old man who collected garbage. The old man seemed to have tacitly accepted the puppy following him. Although he never shared his food with the puppy, as long as there was leftover food in the trash can, he would pick it up and throw it on the ground.
Ten days passed like this. The puppy bravely followed the old man to the old residential building where he lived. The old man climbed the stairs with difficulty, dragging a large woven bag, and did not notice the puppy following him quietly.
When he opened the door, something dirty suddenly passed by his feet, which scared the old man.
The puppy was squatting a few steps away from him, wagging its tail happily at him.
After being stunned for a moment, the old man suddenly became furious. He picked up the broom placed by the door and hit the puppy with it. He drove the puppy out of the door and slammed the door.
The puppy was hit several times and cried out in pain. The old man cursed it while beating it, saying "weird thing", "bad luck" and "get out". The puppy didn't quite understand what he was saying, but it knew that it had made the old man unhappy.
The puppy's tail, which was wagging happily before, is now hanging on the ground like a piece of tattered cloth. The puppy thought... that he was going to have a home.
The puppy went out of the old residential building. It was already dark. Every garbage room was the territory of stray animals nearby. The puppy looked neither like a dog nor a cat. Both would drive it away and bite it if they met it.
The puppy has nowhere to go and no home to return to.
It just silently picked up bottles and paper cartons from the trash cans on the roadside, and then carried them one by one to the top floor of the old residential building in the dark and piled them next to the old man's door. After working for most of the night, the puppy fell asleep on the paper cartons.
The next day, the old man opened the door and saw five or six bottles and two or three cardboard boxes scattered outside. He looked up and saw the puppy sleeping on the cardboard it had picked up.
The puppy had very sensitive ears and was sleeping lightly. He heard the old man say, "An animal is an animal."
The puppy didn't quite understand, but he felt that it was not a good thing.
The puppy still followed the old man and picked up bottle cartons with him. At night, he followed the old man back to sleep on the platform of the old-fashioned stairs, but he never wagged his tail at him again.
One day, the puppy saw a small black stone in a roadside flower bed. The stone smelled very, very good, even better than the cold meat in the leftovers it had eaten. The puppy ate the small black stone.
That night under the moonlight, the puppy's stomach hurt so much that it rolled over on the stairs, whimpering in pain. It was in so much pain that it did not go to the trash can to pick up bottles and paper cartons that night.
The old man looked particularly unhappy when he woke up the next day. As he limped past the puppy, he cursed, "You heartless little beast." The puppy understood his disgust, and even though it was still painful the next day, the puppy still got up and picked up the bottles from the trash can.
After swallowing the black stone, the puppy's appearance changed. Its ugly blue-gray fur turned into soft blue-gray fur. Its neck was fluffy and there were two almost invisible bumps on its head. The puppy licked its teeth and found that it had a pair of small, miniature fangs.
Although it still looks weird, the puppy has become much prettier. Although stray dogs still reject it, the puppy can occasionally get food from kind people as usual.
It knew it looked strange, so it tried to be as docile as possible. After receiving food from kind people, it expressed its gratitude in a lively manner.
The difficult struggle for survival has made the puppy realize that everything has a price, so it is normal to be pinched, hit, or kicked while begging for food. If none of these happens and it is just given food normally or a pat on the head - that is simply the best thing!
The puppy's life went on like this day after day until it picked up a second small stone, this time in an old residential building. After eating the stone, the puppy did not feel as much pain as last time, but felt very comfortable.
The only thing that the puppy found strange was that the old man who picked up garbage had not been out for several days, but the puppy still kept the habit of picking up water bottles and paper shells for half the night. It had observed human society and knew that humans had to pay for food, but the puppy had no money, so the puppy used water bottles and paper shells to offset the cost of living here. Every night, the puppy would pat and push the door with its paws, meaning "Today's accommodation fee has been left here for you."
Although the puppy has to pick up garbage for half the night to live in the corridor, it is good enough as it does not have to suffer from wind and rain or be bullied by other stray dogs.
The old man who picked up garbage did not go out, and the food the puppy could get became drastically less. The puppy was so hungry that he could not sleep all night. At night, he always wandered quietly on the street, hoping to find some food thrown away by humans in the garbage cans - until he wandered to a commercial street where all the shops were closed.
There was only one store on the street with a little light coming through the crack of the door, which meant someone was probably inside. The hungry and dizzy puppy somehow found the courage to use its head to push against the crack of the door. After the person inside opened the door for it, the puppy rushed in too hard and hit its head on the table leg, falling on its back.
The puppy didn’t care about the painful tip of its nose. It used to act cute by barking “woof woof”. The person who opened the door for it was really kind. The puppy had never eaten anything so delicious before! The hunger that only stopped after eating the small black stone also gradually disappeared!
The puppy became happier and happier as he ate, and before he knew it, he had eaten up most of the food bowl. The puppy thought he was going to be beaten, but the handsome human not only didn’t beat him, but also gave him two more large bowls of food.
When the puppy ate the bun for the first time, it suddenly had a bold idea. It raised its front paws and made two plum blossom prints on the knee of the kind-hearted human being. It had seen many puppies shake hands with humans to show friendliness, but its paws were too dirty, so it decided to just make two paw prints!
The puppy who had done something bad wagged its tail and quickly ran away through the crack of the door. He thought the kind and beautiful human would be angry and stop him, but nothing happened until he ran out. The puppy suddenly felt a little sad, but he didn't know what he was sad about.
On the way back, when passing by the garbage room, the puppy found that the stray dogs were not there. It decided to go in to look for its meal for tomorrow, but it only found half a box of leftovers. Then those ferocious stray dogs appeared quietly, and the puppy was very scared.
But... he was saved by a beautiful human who fed him food!
The puppy felt that everything that happened next was like a dream. Although it didn’t understand why the beautiful human threw it to others, it understood after seeing the familiar black stone!
The beautiful human let it eat the black stone before going to find him!
The puppy ate the black stone decisively and ran to the store he had been to that night. Although he had only met this handsome human once, the puppy just wanted to believe him!
——Xiu Gou's trust is so unreasonable!
The memories after that are all very good!
The puppies can eat and drink for free without being beaten, and can stroll around the store freely after eating. The beautiful humans who appear and disappear mysteriously seem difficult to approach, but they will patiently play games with the puppies!
The puppy loves him so much!!!
After a month of good food and drink, the puppy felt that his little head had become smarter again, and there were many strange things in his mind - for example, it seemed that it was not a puppy, but a Taowu with thin blood, and the small black stones he ate were fragments of indissoluble bones, and the thin Taowu blood and the remaining blood in the indissoluble bones were fighting in his body, so it felt so painful and its appearance changed... but none of this mattered!
Because it found a super awesome companion contract!
As long as the puppy signs a companion contract with a beautiful human, he will have a home!
…
Yu Tu watched the puppy's entire experience from its perspective. This was part of the contract signing process, and the puppy could refuse if he was unwilling.
But the puppy did not reject him. Before falling asleep, it opened up all its memories to Yu Tu, or Buye Hou. Of course, this also included all the information and inheritance left in his mind by the Taowu bloodline.
Yu Tu touched the puppy's head.
Compared to Xiaogou's honesty, he concealed too much, and all the memories related to the exposure were closed, leaving only a few fragments in the teahouse, but Xiaogou didn't mind at all—
Its happy and excited mood has been transmitted through the contract!
Its emotions, translated into human language, might be expressed in one sentence:
【I solemnly declare that I have a home! 】
