Chapter 1 The Dog Is a Benefactor
Xu Shuanglin was awakened by a faint cry of sorrow and sorrow, and wanted to open his eyes in a daze, but his eyelids seemed to be overwhelmed by mountains.Waves of pain swept her whole body the moment she woke up, what happened to her?
She vaguely remembered that because her boyfriend with whom she had been dating for two years broke up with her, she was angry and hurt and went to drink stupidly.He was so drunk that he walked and drifted, but he stepped on the ground and fell into the gutter miserably, and then fell into a coma.

Xu Shuanglin struggled to open his eyes wide, and the first thing that caught his eyes was the dilapidated Daiwa. The sunlight from outside came in through the holes and gaps, adding a few rays of light to the slightly dark room.Beams made of wood, walls made of adobe, wooden lattice windows pasted with window paper...

All this made Xu Shuanglin's eyes widen. Where exactly is this place? What age is it now? How could there be such a dilapidated house?She was unconscious, shouldn't she be taken to the hospital?But where is there any trace of the hospital here?

Having a severe headache, Xu Shuanglin moved his fingers slightly and touched an unusually cold and hairy thing.Xu Shuanglin suddenly withdrew his hand and looked down, only to see a large but skinny big yellow dog lying on the straw mat he was lying on.

The big yellow dog was staring at him with deep eyes.Uh, those eyes were indescribably weird and cold, as if a pair of human eyes were carefully sizing her up.Xu Shuanglin was so frightened that he gasped suddenly, and wanted to run away, but he underestimated the weakness of this body.Not to mention that she has the strength to escape now, even turning over would take a long time.

Xu Qiuhe, who was guarding outside, heard the movement in the room, and rushed in with a stride.Seeing his little sister staring at his big yellow dog in horror, the eight-year-old Xu Qiuhe rushed forward, hugging his little sister with his small arms and legs, and started howling: "Little sister, you are a dog!" Wake up, it's been two days, but I'm so worried about us..." After the little boy finished crying, he burst into tears again.

Xu Shuanglin scanned the little boy in front of him no less than five times, and then searched his brains. He really couldn't remember that he had ever known such a number one person.However, this little thing called her little sister... Thinking of a certain possibility, Xu Shuanglin was suddenly stunned.

"I, it's fine. Don't...cry." Xu Shuanglin's mind was buzzing, but the crying and shouting of the little boy in front of her really affected her thoughts, so she could only dissuade the little boy in a low voice.As soon as she made the sound, she found that the voice was extremely hoarse, like an old woman in her sixties, extremely unpleasant.

Where did her crisp and sweet baby voice go?Now she wanted to cry for herself...

The dilapidated house, the little guy who appeared out of nowhere in front of him, and the broken voice, Xu Shuanglin seemed to want to prove something, and quickly scanned his whole body with his eyes carefully.The clothes on his body were dilapidated and had been patched many times, as well as the shortened small arms and those thin hands, which were enough to confirm the thoughts in his heart, and it really wasn't his own body.The thought in his heart was confirmed, and Xu Shuanglin lay down on the bed with a terrified expression on his face, gold stars appeared in front of his eyes as if he had hit a pillar.time travel...

The little boy in front of him was obedient, and after hearing Xu Shuanglin's persuasion, he really stopped crying.It's just a childish little face full of resentment, "Uncle's family is really nothing. They not only robbed our field, but also beat you and Ah Huang to serious injuries. They are really nothing..." The little boy couldn't pick it up. It's not a thing to say something cursing, and the people who scold the uncle's family left and right are not things.

Xu Shuanglin felt that his brain hadn't slowed down yet, but he heard a soft reprimand from outside the door. "Xiaowa's family, what nonsense, why do you keep saying that the uncle's house is no longer a thing, how can you arrange the elders?" At this time, a woman in a gray coarse shirt stepped into the room, with a gentle appearance, but His body was so emaciated that only skin and bones remained, his complexion was sallow and emaciated.There was still water in her eyes, the rims of her eyes were red, and her eyelids were swollen, as if she had cried.

When Xu Qiuhe saw Mrs. Han, he had no choice but to shut up obediently. He knew that his parents didn't like them making up their elders and speaking ill of them.He only put away the angry expression on his face, clapped his hands, and said happily: "Mother, little sister is awake! Come and see!"

As soon as the little boy called out, the woman who came into the house ran straight towards Xu Shuanglin.Seeing that Xu Shuanglin on the bed really opened her eyes as the little boy said, her wrinkled face was covered with tears rolling down, "Si'er, you finally woke up, my poor child, you finally woke up!" It's gone." The woman's crying voice was more powerful than that of the little boy just now, and Xu Shuanglin felt his eardrums ache from the shock.

When Xu Shuanglin was in the third grade of elementary school, her mother died of illness. At that time, she was only nine years old, and Xu Shuanglin couldn't remember the warmth that belonged to her mother at all.Since her mother died, when was she hugged like a darling and desperately wiped the beads?Under the influence of the woman, Xu Shuanglin also dropped pearls.And the little boy standing on the side grabbed his mother and little sister with his small arms and hands, and started crying too.

In the dilapidated house, one big and two young hugged each other, and after crying for half a stick of incense, the tears stopped a little, and the woman changed from crying to sobbing.

And the big yellow dog at the side also seemed to be touched by the scene, and there were tears in his bright eyes.But it blinked again, and when it opened its eyes again, its eyes were back to normal, and the tears were fleeting.It's just that the three people in this room just buried their heads in tears and didn't notice him.

After everyone stopped crying, the woman said to the little boy: "Go and tell your father that Ah Lin is awake, and go to the entrance of the village to see if your eldest sister and second brother are back."

Xu Qiuhe jumped off the bed very quickly, and ran out of the house like a rabbit.I only heard his bluffing voice coming from outside the house, "Father, little sister woke up, dad..."

Xu Shuanglin and Han Shi in the room couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard Xu Qiuhe's crisp shouts.

The sun is setting to the west, and it is almost dusk.Only then did Han think of her work, and told Xu Shuanglin to rest for a while before going out with the straw curtain.

Xu Shuanglin looked at the dog beside her, thinking of his complicated eyes just now, her heart trembled a little. "Mother, I'm afraid..." Xu Shuanglin's small body moved a little closer to Mrs. Han, holding onto Mrs. Han's coarse clothes with her small hands and refused to let go.

Seeing Xu Shuanglin frequently looking at the big yellow dog beside her, Han said softly, "Sier, Ah Huang is your benefactor. I would like to thank Ah Huang, if it hadn't been for blocking the deadly dog ​​for you Injury, maybe you..." The rest of Han's words were a little bit at a loss.She stroked the big yellow dog's fur very tenderly, and a faint sour smell rose from the tip of her nose.

Xu Shuanglin looked along Han's hand, and sure enough, he saw the dried blood on the big yellow dog's back.No wonder it was dying and looked sick.It is said that dogs are loyal and good friends of human beings. In her previous life, she has seen many stories of dogs rescuing their owners in the reports of the news media.Now that this thing is happening to him, Xu Shuanglin is both surprised and grateful.

After these words, Xu Shuanglin saw that the big guy in front of him no longer had the initial fear, and instead felt grateful for the big yellow dog.So when Mrs. Han opened the curtain and went out to do housework, Xu Shuanglin moved her little side closer to the big yellow dog little by little.

Raising her little hand to rub the ten centimeter wound on his back back and forth, her heart felt faint ripples. The wound was so big, it must have bled a lot. "Does it hurt?" Xu Shuanglin's eyes were full of pity and distress.

The big yellow dog arched its back, wagging its brownish-yellow tail a few times, and its black eyeballs had a provocative deep light. It seemed to be saying, try it.

The dog's eyes are really strange, Xu Shuanglin once again focused his gaze on the big yellow dog's black eyes, and studied them carefully.But the dog blinked suddenly, and when he opened his eyes again, the deep light in his eyes disappeared, and the soft dog legs seemed to be lying boneless, looking pitiful.

Could it be that I saw it wrong, how can a dog have such human-like eyes?It seems that after the time travel, people are still in a trance, so they are dazzled.

Speaking of crossing, where is this place?The furnishings in this room are tattered, and the quilt that is pressed on the body is also dirty and torn, and many places have been patronized by mice, tearing several big holes, exposing the dark cotton balls inside.Hey, it seems that the life of this family is really embarrassing!

"Little sister, little sister..." Hearing his voice before seeing her, Xu Shuanglin suddenly raised her head, and saw a pretty girl with a dash of vigor running in from outside the house.Wearing a dark blue coarse cloth shirt with two patches on the chest.The hair is combed into a round bun without ornaments. "Little sister, just after entering the village, I heard from my third brother that you were awake. At first I thought he was lying, but I didn't expect it to be true..."

Behind the little girl was a man in a gray-black long gown, but he was only about ten years old, but his immature face was written with a depth that did not match his age. "Sister, what are you talking about? It's a good thing that little sister woke up. How are you, little sister? Is your head still hurting?" The man came to the edge of the bed and caressed Xu Shuanglin's small head. , asking again and again.Then he patted the big yellow dog lying on the bed, moving a little bit, and there was a soft light in his eyes.

Feeling the two people's greetings to him, Xu Shuanglin felt a little warmth in his heart.How long has it been since her mother's death that she has felt this harmonious affection?These two must be his eldest sister and second brother.Xu Shuanglin nodded obediently, "Eldest sister, second brother, they are much better, don't worry."
