Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 27 Adoption
At this time, the shiitake mushrooms box has already exuded a strong aroma, causing Qiao Mi to drool non-stop. Mother Qiao gently moved the shiitake mushrooms with chopsticks, turned off the fire when they were almost fried, and put them on the plate one by one. I put another one in a small bowl and handed it to Qiao Miwei, "Eat it, look how greedy you are."

Qiao Mi smiled slightly, took the bowl and chopsticks, picked it up, and it was hot. She inhaled. The mushroom box just out of the pan was very hot. She even licked it with her tongue until she could eat it, and then she ate a box in three or two bites. Suddenly, a strong smell of mushrooms and meat filled her mouth. It was so delicious, it was so fragrant.

Before the braised pork was out of the pot, Mother Qiao quickly fried another plate of hot kohlrabi, and said to Qiao Miwei, "Let's set the table."

"Hey." Qiao Miwei jumped up and quickly set the table and chopsticks, and then the food. At this time, the braised pork had already collected the soup, put it on a plate, poured it with shredded coconut, and served it!
Qiao Miwei went to the backyard and called Qiao's father to eat. Qiao Bin washed his hands and followed Qiao Miwei. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help sniffing, "I have to eat two big bowls of this smell today."

A plate of shiitake mushrooms basically went into Qiao Miwei's stomach, and even the bottom of the plate full of braised pork was eaten with bibimbap, only the bottoms of the two vegetarian dishes remained.

"I'm too full, Mom, if you set up such a table every three days, I guess I will become a big fat man in less than a month." Qiao Miwei said while hugging her stomach.

Father Qiao chuckled, "No, we Weiwei are so capable recently, we can't gain weight."

Qiao Miwei thought about it too. No matter how much he took care of his body before, he was always in a sub-healthy state, but now he feels more energetic than before.

Before going to bed, Qiao Miwei went to close the door. An inexplicable feeling made her look out involuntarily. The heavy rain outside was too heavy, so she leaned out the door. The rainy night was dark, and there seemed to be some kind of beast dormant in the dark place. Qiao Mi Mi Wei shook off her goosebumps and turned around to lock the door.

Suddenly a low and hoarse voice came into her ears, she turned her head and looked out the door again, "Who's there?" She took it for granted that there was no response.

She felt a little uneasy suddenly, she thought about it and quickly turned around to lock the door, when suddenly there was another low snoring sound from outside the door, this time she heard it clearly, it was the big dog, but the sound was weak, unexpectedly Let her hear the death intent.

Regardless of the heavy rain, she rushed directly into the rain and fog, and within a few steps, she saw the big dog lying on its side in the open space in front of the door, with its head lowered and its eyes half-closed, seeing Qiao Mi approaching slightly , it seemed that he tried his best to show his sharp teeth to scare her.

Qiao Miwei didn't have that much kindness, but for some reason, she kept this big dog in her heart for the past two days. She squatted down and hugged the big dog without too much effort, because it was too thin .

The dog showed hostility towards Qiao Miwei, and opened its mouth to bite the clothes on Qiao Miwei's arm. It wanted to bite down, but it didn't work hard, and it ended up in its mouth.

Qiao Mi squinted her eyes slightly and blinked her eyelashes desperately. The heavy rain made her unable to open her eyes. She staggered back to the yard with the dog in her arms.

She put the big dog on the dry floor tiles, and shouted into the room, "Mom and Dad, come out quickly." Going out, "What's the matter? What is that?"

Qiao Mi lowered his head slightly and patted the big dog's head, "It's the dog I told you about, it seems to be dying."

Father Qiao also came out at this moment, and turned on the lights outside the courtyard. The lights in the front yard were brightly lit in an instant, and the big dog was completely exposed, because it had been washed by the rain for an unknown number of days, and its hair was dirty and sticking to the On the body, the two ears are drooping weakly at this time, the eyes are full of red threads, the limbs are so thin that the bone sticks can be seen, and the rib bones are also clearly visible, only the belly is still round.

The big dog felt that there were people around him, propped up its body, and seemed to want to leave, but unfortunately it was too weak, and fell to the ground after struggling several times. It longed for the salvation of human beings, but it still remembered the scene not long ago Therefore, it is more hostile and fearful towards human beings.

Qiao Miwei raised his hand and pressed the big dog's back, "Okay, we are not bad people, you can rest assured here."

Father Qiao looked at it and said, "It's a bitch, the belly is pregnant."

Mother Qiao nodded, "There are three cats and four dogs. This dog will probably have cubs in a month."

Qiao Mi got up slightly and walked towards the house, "I'll see if there is anything to eat." In the kitchen there are still big bones left over from the previous two days, but only the bones are left. I guess the big dog is not in the mood to eat this now, so I have to find Something to fill her stomach, she looked through the cupboard and refrigerator again, and found some leftovers, as well as leftovers from the night, she soaked the leftovers in hot water and warmed up the leftovers Add it in, and dig out some old bowls that were left in the house, pick a big one, put it in the leftovers, and take it out.

Outside, Mother Qiao had dug out an unnecessary torn sheet and wiped off the water for the big dog. She walked over and pushed the rice bowl forward, "Eat quickly, there is nothing delicious in my house now, you eat first This pad."

The big dog was obviously very hungry. When it saw eating, it wanted to move forward, but stopped halfway, and stared at Qiao Miwei and Qiao's mother with its blood-red eyes for a long time, and finally drooped its ears to move forward. He went to the bowl and devoured the meal.

Mother Qiao raised her hand and touched the big dog's head. The dog just moved its ears without any other response, "You should have paid this dog's attention a long time ago."

Qiao Mi touched his nose slightly, "I didn't think about it at first, but this dog's eyes are so powerful and majestic. I wanted to raise it at that time, but it was too awkward."

Mother Qiao brushed the dog with a dry bed sheet again, "Our house is too remote, so it's okay to have a dog, and I think this dog looks good."

"At first, I wanted to raise a puppy in the village, but it depends on the eyes. I really fell in love with it at first sight." Qiao Miwei also touched the dog's head.

"This is a black back, but it seems impure. Our family has never raised this kind of thing, and I can't see it, but I always feel that it is more spiritual than ordinary dogs." Qiao's mother said.

Mother Qiao praised the dog, and Qiao Miwei nodded with pride, "I think so too."

While talking, the little rice had already entered the big dog's stomach. After a while, it seemed to gain some strength. It slowly struggled up from the ground, walked up to Qiao Miwei, lowered its head, and licked her fingers. But the drooping tail didn't mean to wag at all, it kept drooping like a decoration.

After a while, Father Qiao came over with a cardboard box, "Is this big enough?" He pointed at the big dog with his finger.

Qiao Miwei and Qiao's mother turned their heads to look at the same time. It turned out that Qiao's father used a cardboard box to make a simple nest for the big dog. It was stuffed with a torn quilt. It looked quite comfortable. The cardboard box was placed beside the garage. On the way, Father Qiao patted the box wall, "Come here."

The dog turned to look at Father Qiao, then dragged its tired body slowly to the side of the box, lowered its head and sniffed it, then crawled in, curled up in a comfortable position and lay down.

Qiao's mother was happy, "This dog is really nice, and he can understand words."

Father Qiao knelt down and smoothed the fur on the dog's back, "This should be a good dog. It must have been professionally trained. I don't know how it got out." The big dog seemed to enjoy it very much, and its eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Qiao Miwei asked, "Dad, is this dog black-backed? It's just too thin, but it's really mighty."

Father Qiao shook his head, "I don't understand either. If it doesn't go away, let's keep it. If the dog owner finds it, we'll ask him for a puppy. The puppy born to this big dog is probably not bad."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "Okay, I just thought our yard is too big. Although it's well enclosed, it's safer to keep a dog to guard the house. I didn't expect to find this big dog."

The three of them looked around the big dog for a long time, and saw that the big dog had fallen asleep exhaustedly, so they went back to sleep, because the matter of the big dog delayed the time, so Qiao Miwei just went to Taoyuan to throw fish food into the fish pond that night , and then went back to sleep after inspecting the rice fields.

Qiao Miwei woke up early the next morning. She was thinking about the big dog. She put on her clothes and went to the front yard. As soon as the door opened, the big dog immediately raised its ears and looked up, its whole body tensed. Tight, seeing that it was Qiao Miwei, his body relaxed randomly.

Qiao Miwei walked over. Although she had fed the dog yesterday, she was still afraid that the dog would not recognize her and would come up to give her a bite, so when she walked forward, her eyes never left the eyes of the big dog. The dog seemed to know Joe Mi Wei was nervous, she closed her mouth tightly and lay obediently in the nest, but her eyes were turned up to look at Qiao Miwei, those little eyes looked very innocent.

Qiao Miwei walked up to him, knelt down and touched the dog's neck. Seeing that it didn't respond, he stroked its whole body with confidence. After making sure that it was not injured, he patted the dog's head, "I didn't eat much yesterday. Let’s get you some food first, and I’ll make you something good to nourish your body today.”

The big dog seemed to really understand. It lightly touched the back of Qiao Miwei's hand with its nose, and whimpered a few times.

Qiao Miwei went back to the house and took out the inner liner of the rice cooker, washed some rice, added some millet, thought for a while, and then dug out two preserved eggs and cut them in, and added the pork left over from the dinner a few days ago, Cut them into one-centimeter-square pieces of meat, add water, plug in the electricity, think for a while, find out the big bones in the refrigerator, choose those with bones and meat, light the small pot, and start cooking big bone soup .

She likes this big dog so much. Although these two encounters still haven't dispelled her timidity of being afraid of dogs, she wants to own it even more. Seeing that the big dog's thin ribs are protruding, she feels very distressed, besides The big dog was still pregnant, and she decided to take care of it.
