I stretched out my hand and touched it. Dahuang's neck had been bitten off and was bloody and bloody.
My whole mind went blank for an instant, and my eyes were fixed on the dying Dahuang, full of disbelief.
Dahuang's neck must have been bitten off by the zongzi just now, but he persisted until the last moment for me.
Now, after Zongzi was completely knocked down by me, it finally couldn't hold on any longer. It lay on the ground, holding its head together, breathing in and out...
"rhubarb!"
I held Rhubarb in my arms. At this moment, I felt as if my heart had been pierced by a dagger.
Rhubarb has been with me for more than ten years. At that time, it was very young and I was very young. When I was a toddler, it was still in its infancy. When I was just a teenager, it was already in its twilight years. But even so, I let it end up in the end.
A tragic ending...
I was filled with guilt, I hated, I regretted, I slapped myself hard, why the hell did I have to come here, why did I ignore Dahuang’s dissuasion, why??
"Dahuang, I was wrong, I was really wrong..."
I held the rhubarb in my arms, feeling the warmth of the rhubarb, and couldn't stop the tears from falling down.
Since my damn dad left five years ago, I vowed not to shed tears again, but now, I look at this partner who has been with me for more than ten years, and I wish I was the one who bit the rice dumpling.
neck, not rhubarb…
Li En stood aside blankly, with red eyes and comforted: "Don't be sad, I think it doesn't want you to be so sad..."
"What do you know?" I blurted out: "Do you understand my relationship with Dahuang? You don't even understand it, you only know that it is a dog, yes, it is a dog, but to me
, more important than anyone else!”
Dahuang opened his eyes with difficulty. His originally dark eyes were now lifeless. My heart felt like blood dripping from my eyes.
I yelled at Li En at the top of my lungs: "Who knows, it was the one who grew up with me, and it was also the one who accompanied me to starve and freeze."
"When I didn't have a father, when I was so hungry that I couldn't walk, it was him who brought me back from hunting in the wild and fed me."
"When I was bullied, it was the one who avenged me and bit those bullied bastards until they howled like ghosts..."
"For more than ten years, I have not been separated from it, not even for a day. As long as there is food for me, there will be food for it. As long as there is a place for me to sleep, there will be a place for it to rest..."
By the end of the sentence, my voice had become hoarse, and Rhubarb in my arms stood up with difficulty at this time.
"Dahuang, I can't help you." I cried like a girl, with tears all over my face.
Dahuang staggered up, weakly licked the tears on my face with his tongue a few times, and made a humming sound.
I reached out my hand and patted its head gently. I could clearly see that at this moment, two lines of tears flowed out of Dahuang's dull eyes...
Rhubarb was extremely weak, the blood on its neck was still flowing out, and its bones had long been broken by the zongzi, but it still insisted on standing up. After licking my face and hands for the last time, it slowly turned around
Go and hold the head of the rice dumpling in your mouth.
"Dahuang, what do you want to do?" I shouted.
Dahuang held the Zongzi's head in his mouth, then looked back at me.
I stared at it blankly.
Dahuang took two steps back and then made a move that I was very familiar with.
That is a step-and-step movement that it will do before leaping up. It is very skillful and very coquettish.
In the past, it would often perform this action, then jump up and bring back for me some underwear that the little girls in the village had exposed on the railing... It could make this action extra coquettish and interesting every time, but
This time, I saw it in my eyes, but I couldn't help but laugh.
"Dahuang, what do you want to do?" I murmured.
As my words fell, I saw Dahuang suddenly speed up, use all his strength, jump forward, and then use his body to slam into the door that was blocked by the Cyclops with debris and bombs.
…
“Rhubarb, no!!”
When I saw this, I suddenly understood!
I rushed over, but was stopped by Li En desperately.
I watched Dahuang run a few steps wildly, leap high into the air, and then cross a familiar path through the air, and then hit the door together with the Zongzi's head...
Immediately afterwards, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded!
Dahuang was instantly buried in the flames...
I was stunned, then fell to my knees on the ground, as if my head had been struck by thunder, and I couldn't recover for a long time.
Rhubarb is dead.
Rhubarb used up the last bit of strength in its life to remove the rice dumplings for me, and also detonated the bomb leading to the second-floor stone house for me...
I murmured Dahuang's name, and my mind was filled with images of Dahuang and me being together.
A dog, a boy, a thin-skinned coffin, and a shaky home; if the dog is no longer there, what will happen to the home? It has been with me for more than ten years, from birth to old age, and has been loyal to its owner throughout its life. Although it is not a human,
But I have already regarded him as a brother...
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that I suddenly came back to my senses.
I came to the site of the explosion, but could not find Dahuang's bones. The bomb just now was so powerful that even the stones were blown apart. How could Dahuang's body withstand the huge explosion wave...
"Are you okay?" Li En suddenly said.
I looked back at her and found that her eyes were red. She seemed to have been infected by my emotions just now. She even spoke a lot gentler now.
I shook my head and didn't respond further.
"What should we do now?" Li En asked again.
I picked up my backpack's Luoyang shovel from the ground and walked down to the second floor of the stone house without looking back.
"You get out of the cave and find someone to come in immediately." I said.
"What about you? If you chase me now, you will die. They all have guns." Li Endao.
I stopped for a moment, paused, and continued: "Dahuang opened the door for me before he died. I don't want to let him down. You go out. If you can find someone, I hope you can help me collect the body."
Bury Dahuang next to where he died, otherwise, Dahuang, the lazy dog, won’t be able to find me..."
After saying this, I walked towards the second floor of the stone house without raising my head.
In the stone house on the second floor, I quickly found the passage through which Cyclops and the others left.
It was a secret passage posted on the wall. I think Li Wenhai found it through diaries left by the Japanese.
I couldn't see my fingers in the passage, but less than ten meters away from the entrance, I saw a stone tablet with some ancient characters engraved on it that I couldn't understand. The only thing I could distinguish was that there was a prince written on the tombstone.
Such font size.
"Prince Jin?" I muttered to myself. I knew that the Ming Dynasty had the largest number of princes in history. But now, through this dilapidated tombstone with ancient characters, I saw a green tile pavement in front of me.
The ground, the tomb passage lined with silver wood...
[Author's digression]: This chapter is a bit painful for me. A dog has a lifespan of only more than ten years. It has grown up with the protagonist since birth. The protagonist has reached teenagers, and it is getting older.
After knowing that he would definitely die, he used his last bit of strength to blow up the door for his owner. Dogs are human beings, and I hope everyone can treat small animals with more kindness.
