In an old thatched hut with drafts from all sides.
A thin little girl and a thin little black dog huddled in the corner of the room.
"Little dog, this is a steamed bun that I begged for. It has been left out for a long time and has become hard. Each of us will get half of it. Don't dislike it!"
The little girl broke the steamed bun in half with all her strength, and handed the slightly larger half to the little black dog.
The little black dog, which still had scars and bloodstains on its body, opened its mouth and bit hard, but it was unable to bite.
"Oh, I forgot. You're still injured and you're too hungry to have any strength. You can't even bite such a big piece, hehe..."
The little girl giggled and began to break the hard steamed bun into small pieces.
Then, he used a porcelain bowl with a few corners missing, filled it with some water, and soaked the steamed buns in it until they were soft and swollen. Then he handed the bowl with the steamed buns to Xiao Hei.
dog.
"Wow, the steamed buns have softened after being soaked in water. They have changed a lot. Half a steamed bun has turned into a single steamed bun. It will definitely make you full. I want to eat like this too..."
The little girl laughed happily.
The little black dog also had a smile on his face. The steamed buns were already a bit rusty and had been soaked by the rain. Even wild dogs might not be able to eat the steamed buns, but they ate them with relish, as if they were the most delicious and delicious food in the world.

...
"Little dog, I'm leaving. I'm going to a place far, far away to find someone I've never seen before. From now on, you have to be self-reliant..."
The little girl was carrying a small package, which contained some of her worthless but precious little things, and waved to the little black dog.
Then, the little girl left.
The little black dog barked a few times and quickly followed.
"Oh, little puppy, you can't follow me, go back quickly."
The little girl sent the little black dog back and left again.
The little black dog stopped barking and quickly followed him again.
several times in succession.
The little girl finally sighed like a little adult: "Oh, I really can't do anything to you. If you are not afraid of being cold and hungry all the way with me, then you can go with me. As long as I have a bite to eat, I will
You won’t go hungry.”
"But, you have to remember, don't bite people casually. A dog that bites people casually is not a good dog."
Said.
The little girl picked up the little black dog, which had not yet fully recovered from its injury, and left happily as it jumped up and down.
From then on, she was no longer alone and had company.
"By the way, little dog, let me give you a name. What name would you like?"
"Xiao Hei?"
"No, although you are a little black dog, I don't like the name Xiaohei."
"Well...the weather is so nice today, and we have to stay together every day from now on, so I'll call you Xiaotian, okay?"
"Well, from now on you can just call me Xiaotian!"
"Xiaotian!"
"Woof...!"
"Xiaotian! Xiaotian!"
"Woof...woof..."
"Xiaotian, Xiaotian, Xiaotian!"
"Woof woof woof..."
"Hehehehehehehehehehehe..." A string of laughter like silver bells echoed continuously.
...
"Xiaotian, I'm sorry. I said that as long as there is something for me to eat, there will be something for you to eat. Unfortunately, even I have nothing to eat, so I can only let you starve with me."
The little girl hugged the little black dog and huddled in a corner under a bridge, shivering in the cold winter.
Also, keep each other warm.
However, just after the little girl finished speaking, she suddenly took out a candy from her thin trouser pocket with trembling little hands that were red from the cold.
"Hehe, Xiaotian, look...what is this?"
"Candy!"
"Are you happy?"
"I originally thought that we would have nothing to eat, but suddenly, there is a candy. Isn't it an unexpected surprise? An unexpected surprise, of course you have to be happy!"
"Come on, open your mouth and I'll feed you."
The little girl peeled off the candy to feed to the little black dog.
The little black dog shook his head.
The little girl thought of a way to divide the candy into two halves: "Then each of us can take half, okay?"
The little black dog still shook his head.
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll eat them all."
She put it in her mouth.
It's just that... half of the candy went into its mouth, and the other half fell on the stone next to it.
"Oh, I was really careless. I dropped it. Xiaotian, I won't eat the candy on the ground. You go and eat it!"
said the little girl.
The little black dog still shook his head.
The little girl put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "Xiaotian, let me tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else. I am going east to find my father. My mother told me before she died that my father is the prince."
Well, I want to be an emperor in the future. Let me tell you, I am very noble. I want to be a princess. I will also wear beautiful clothes, eat delicious food, and be loved by others like the ladies from rich families.
Serve, so since I want to be a princess, I don’t want to eat candies on the ground.”
Even so, the little girl's eyes were fixed on the candies on the ground and she never moved away.
Finally, he moved away with difficulty, looking disgusted.
Xiao Hei barked twice.
This time, it did not shake its head, but bit the half candy into its mouth.
...
Spring passes and autumn comes.
One year.
Another year.
The little girl gradually grew into a young girl.
But, the little black dog still hasn’t changed.
Still so small.
Of course, the little girl is still so thin and malnourished.
only.
The little girl, or rather... girl, who was always optimistic, could no longer laugh.
"Xiaotian, you never grow up. In the future, without me, no one will protect you. You must take care of yourself!"
The girl stretched out her dirty and thin palms with difficulty and wiped away the tears of the little black dog.
Her face was pale and extremely weak.
It's like he will die at any time.
In order to protect the little black dog, this time, she was seriously injured and was about to die.
The only thing she couldn't worry about was the little black dog.
A tiny one.
It doesn't grow very big.
Anyone can bully it.
"Xiaotian, I am about to die. It is said that after death, you can go to heaven. I want to go to heaven to live a good life."
"But when you stay in this world, you have to take care of yourself. You can be kind, but you must also learn to be smart. Don't be bullied by others, and don't be tricked by others. If anyone bullies you, you can't beat them.
Just run away first, you know? We can take revenge later."
The little girl said with difficulty, she couldn't worry about the little black dog.
