Start at the pet store

The village chief said earnestly.

Over there, Ah Hua said yes, and the village chief gave the old man his cell phone. He was afraid that the old man couldn't hear clearly, so he specially turned it on.

After doing this, he walked towards Lu Jingxing and the others.

When Benben saw so many people gathered around him, he immediately pulled the rope around his neck in horror and backed away violently. He kept making low growling sounds, and his eyes were even more frightened.

Lu Jingxing felt heartbroken when he looked at it. It didn't recognize him.

Ji Ling and others kept shouting from the side: "Benben, we are here to save you, don't you remember me?"

Because it was full of cow dung and we didn’t know how deep it was, we couldn’t just go inside. Moreover, the closer we got, the harder Benben struggled, and everyone was afraid of hurting it again.

Lu Jingxing asked everyone to step back. He took two steps forward alone and said to himself: "Benben, it's me..."

The moment it heard his voice, Benben was stunned. It was struggling and immediately calmed down. It stood there without saying a word or resisting, and simply stopped responding.

Ji Ling and Ji An were a little confused, thinking that Benben didn't resist because they took a few steps back.

Only Lu Jingxing knew that Benben reacted to his voice.

He immediately said: "Benben, it's me. My brother is here to pick you up. I'm sorry for making you suffer..."

When Benben was here, Lu Jingxing was not very used to using the APP, and the things he could say every day were limited, so he didn't communicate much with Benben, only a few times.

Lu Jingxing wasn't even sure whether Benben still remembered him or if he had communicated with it like this before.

When Lu Jingxing finished speaking again, Benben confirmed that Lu Jingxing was talking to it, and it flew over from the side of the tricycle.

Benben, who had been fiercely facing a few people just now, was like a different dog at this moment, running towards Lu Jingxing with a pitifully small voice, but its rope was limited, and when it was circled from there, it could only reach Lu Jingxing. The length of one meter was abruptly stuck.

It raised its head and looked at Lu Jingxing with tearful eyes, looking at him in disbelief: "Woof, woof, is it really you? Brother... woof woo woo..."

Lu Jingxing's heart was broken. He, a grown man, couldn't help crying at this moment. He remembered him. Not only did he remember him, but he also trusted him so much.

"It's me, brother came late, Benben suffered..." Lu Jingxing ran towards Benben no matter how dirty the feces underground was.

The little guy wagged his tail vigorously and wanted to move toward him. However, when he saw Lu Jingxing running over, he turned back: "Brother, I'm dirty and smelly..."

Hearing what it said, Lu Jingxing collapsed.

"It's okay. Brother will come and untie it for you. Let's go home right now..." He had already made up his mind. Even if the lion named Ahua opened his mouth, he would admit it. He would take Benben back no matter what.

"Come on, Benben, don't step back. I'm fine. Just wash it later. Let's go home..." He was afraid that it would hurt himself if it stepped back again, so he quickly comforted it.

Seeing that Lu Jingxing really didn't dislike it and wanted to save it, the little guy slowly moved closer to him. Although it wanted to kiss him and jump on him like before, it knew that it had It was so dirty that it walked out carefully and stood as far outside as possible to prevent Lu Jingxing from standing on the cow dung.

Ji Ling, Ji An, and Xiaopang, who were standing behind, were surprised at first and accepted it in less than a minute. This kind of thing made them a little surprised. Lu Jingxing had this ability, although they didn't know it. What methods did Lu Jingxing use, and what happened between him and Benben.

Ji'an and Xiaopang immediately came up to help. Benben also knew that they were together and naturally had no resistance to their help. Even when they couldn't reach the rope, Benben knew how to change positions to help them.

After everyone untied the rope, Benben was really sure that he was saved.

It ran to a clean place, first circled Lu Jingxing twice, then saw Ji Ling, and happily circled Ji Ling twice more.

But it was so dirty, its whole body was covered in pulp, and its tail could no longer swing.

Regardless of Benben's dirty look, Lu Jingxing stepped forward and tried to take off the collar from its neck. It was a leather collar, but because the environment was so bad and it was tied so tightly, it was no longer visible. It had lost its original color. Lu Jingxing estimated that the collar might have gotten stuck in Benben's flesh.

"Benben, sit down and I will take off the collar for you..." Lu Jingxing said softly to Benben.

The village chief had already come over, and when he saw this scene, he no longer had any doubts. This dog must know Lu Jingxing and the others.

Benben obediently sat down on the ground immediately. Lu Jingxing and Ji An stepped forward and carefully removed the leather band from its neck. Benben couldn't help but hum in a low voice. It was obviously in pain, but it didn't even struggle.

Ji Ling shed tears when she saw it: "Stupid..." she shouted with choked sobs.

After taking off the collar, everyone saw that the skin on the little guy's neck was almost worn away. You could directly see the red flesh sticking together. You can imagine how painful it was.

Several people watched in silence, feeling uncomfortable and depressed.

Upon seeing this, the village chief immediately turned around and walked towards the old man.

The old man had already finished talking to Ah Hua, and he handed the phone to the village chief: "Hua Zi said, if they pay for it, it will be fine, otherwise..."

The old man saw that the village chief had a bad look on his face, so he swallowed back the next words.

The village chief took the phone with a gloomy face, and seeing that Ah Hua hadn't hung up yet, he immediately took it over: "Are you still listening..."

Ah Hua nodded with a guilty conscience, and then immediately said: "I spent a lot of effort and money to raise it before, so asking them to pay 2,000 yuan is not too much..."

The village chief was very disappointed: "I..." He couldn't help but swear: "Do you know what this dog looks like now? There is no skin on its neck, and its body is covered with cow dung. If they hadn't come, the dog would have died within a month. You still have the nerve to ask for money. You are really poor and crazy. You still want 2,000 yuan, why don't you go and rob..." The village chief was so angry that he cursed.

Hearing the village chief's description, Ah Hua was obviously a little surprised: "How is it possible... It was fine when I sent it back. I also brought a bag of dog food back. It was very obedient and would not run around. Why is it all cow dung?"

"Why, why, why don't you ask your grandfather where he locked it, why don't you ask your father if he has ever taken care of it, and I heard that you adopted it, or you ran around a few times before you got it, and they didn't force you to raise it, right? You took the trouble in the past, isn't it your responsibility? Now you raise it like this, can you bear it?" If it were someone else, the village chief would not be long-winded, and would just let Lu Jingxing take the dog away.

Ah Hua's grandfather is so old, he didn't explain it to him, for fear that the old man would make trouble later. As for Ah Hua, because they grew up together, he didn't want to see him do such a mindless thing. You know, when he found out that Ah Hua owed money outside, he was no less anxious than him. His salary was not high, and he worked hard to collect money for him.

Ah Hua on the other side was silent. He also remembered that when he started to adopt Benben, it was he who repeatedly promised that Lu Jingxing would give in.

Although he and Benben had only been together for a few months, Benben did bring him a lot of happiness. Now, after hearing the village chief's description, he felt a little heartbroken. He thought that he had bought dog food and put it at home, and his grandfather and father would take good care of it, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Well, why don't you forget it? Let them take it away. Please help me apologize to Boss Lu..." He sighed softly.

Hearing him say this, the village chief felt relieved. He hummed and said, "Then tell me again. He may not believe what I said."

"Okay, let's trouble you again. Open a video. I'll see me. Then I'll trouble you to tell Boss Lu that I want to see Benben again." He said sullenly on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I still have some conscience, I'll open it like this..." The village chief sighed in his heart, opened WeChat, and played the video.

He handed the phone to the old man first: "Grandpa, Huazi said he missed you and wanted to see you. Come, I opened it, you can see it..."

The old man took it tremblingly: "How to see it?"

"Grandpa, I'm here..." Ahua shouted loudly from the phone. The old man was immediately attracted by the voice and smiled on his wrinkled face: "Huazi, why are you thinner..."

Seeing this, the village chief silently stepped back and walked to Lu Jingxing who was waiting for him in the yard.

Ji'an and Xiaopang went to get the cage. They wanted to clean Benben before leaving, but after seeing its wound, Lu Jingxing felt that it couldn't be done so simply, and he had to go back and wash it again.

First, it is impossible to dry it after washing here, and I am afraid it will get sick. In addition, the wound on its neck must be treated immediately after returning. If it takes a bath first and comes into contact with raw water and is not treated in time, it is also afraid of infection, which will be very troublesome.

Lu Jingxing has already prepared for Ah Hua to ask for a lot of money, and the whole person seems to be much calmer. Seeing the village chief walking towards him, he even raised a faint smile on his face.

Although the village chief is helping to deal with this matter, because it happened to his childhood friend, he also seems a little guilty.

"Have you dealt with it?" He glanced at Benben who was lying at Ji Ling's feet.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "I wanted to wash it, but because its wound is afraid of infection from raw water, I have to go back and deal with it..." He turned around and looked at Benben lovingly, and Benben immediately responded to him.

The village chief nodded: "Yes, and the weather is too cold. I am afraid of catching a cold if I wash it. I am really sorry, I..." The village chief said vaguely.

"No, you're too polite. You've already helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get in here... May I ask how much does Ahua want?" Seeing that the village chief was so vague, Lu Jingxing thought that the price Ahua mentioned was too high and the village chief was embarrassed. He didn't want to embarrass the village chief, so he took the initiative to ask.
