Chapter 1329 If You Promise, You Must Do It
"But..." Cheng Ying looked at Yuan Zhou hesitantly, then raised her steps to keep up.
Obviously Cheng Ying was worried about both Yuan Zhou and Nian Tang, but obviously Nian Tang still didn't want her to follow.
"Woo, woof woof." Nian Tang's voice was full of urging and anxiety.
"You stay here and look after the store, it'll be fine." Yuan Zhou said decisively.
"Master, if anything happens, you must call me. I still know a lot of things." Cheng Ying said loudly to the backs of Yuan Zhou and Nian Tang.
Yuan Zhou didn't look back, but still nodded, and then quickly walked out of Cheng Ying's sight.
Yes, both Yuanzhou and Nian Tang were walking very fast, with Nian Tang running in front and Yuan Zhou striding behind.
At first, some people saw Yuan Zhou greeting him, but seeing his hurried steps, many people silently moved out of the way.
This can be regarded as a tacit understanding of coming to Taoxi Road to check in and go shopping.
That means not disturbing Yuan Zhou.
But soon, one person and one dog walked out of the lively Taoxi Road and arrived at the intersection of Taoxi Road, near the back alley.
Because this is a place where garbage is piled, no one comes here except those who throw garbage or pick up garbage and clean it. Naturally, no one comes now.
But the rice was lying there, where Yuan Zhou first discovered the noodle soup.
Rice's entire khaki body lay lying there, his head buried under his front paws, and he didn't raise his head until he heard footsteps.
The dog, who usually looked silly, had a pitiful look on his face, and his wet black eyes also showed sadness.
Nian Tang also quickly ran over and tipped his head against Mi Mi's chin. Then the two dogs stood side by side and looked at Yuan Zhou.
"What's going on?" Yuan Zhou frowned and asked aloud.
"Woof woof." Nian Tang called twice, and then moved away together with rice.
Yuanzhou, who had been paying attention to the two dogs now, saw a smaller black native dog lying behind the two dogs.
At first glance, this native dog looks all black, even the four legs spread out are black.
But if you take a closer look, you will find that the black surface is stained with a lot of dust, and the strange lying posture of the four lying fully spread out gives Yuan Zhou a bad feeling.
"You want me to see this?" Yuan Zhou took two steps forward and tentatively squatted down.
"Woof!" Nian Tang barked, then stepped forward and nudged the lying dog with his head.
However, the black dog didn't respond no matter how he made the soup.
Later, the noodle soup became even fiercer, the barking became louder, and the black dog was circling around, while the rice was right next to it and barking sadly.
"Stop, noodle soup." Yuanzhou reached out and touched the noodle soup for the first time.
Yuan Zhou stretched out his hand and pressed it directly on Nian Tang's head. Nian Tang stopped instantly and stood stiffly on the spot.
"Let me take a look." After Yuan Zhou said, he put down his hand and looked directly at the black dog.
Although with Yuan Zhou's sharp ears, he had already heard that this was a dead dog corpse at such a close distance.
But Yuanzhou still solemnly stretched out his hands and carefully touched the black dog's heart and breathing, and also tested his neck.
However, the black dog's body was stiff, its fur felt prickly, and the temperature of its tentacles was even cold.
Obviously this was an adult dog that had been dead for a long time. The reason it looked smaller than Nian Tang, the mixed-breed teddy, was because he was covered in bones and didn't have a ounce of meat.
The four worn and dirty paws also showed that this was a stray dog.
"Noodle soup, rice, he is already dead." Yuan Zhou retracted his hand, looked at the two dogs who were looking at him expectantly, and said seriously.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof."
"Wow..."
The noodle soup and rice began to moan together, but Yuan Zhou didn't bother him and just stood there quietly.
It wasn't until the two dogs had finished venting that they finally spoke: "You asked me to come here, did I place him properly?"
Nian Tang paused for a moment, then began to dig at the concrete floor with his claws.
The posture was very forceful, but within a few strokes you could see scratches and faint blood stains on the ground.
Apparently Noodle Soup's paw was injured and he wanted to dig a hole in the ground to bury the black dog's body?
"Stop." Yuan Zhou gently pressed Nian Tang's head, and then sighed: "Nian Tang, I know you are sad, but the little black dog is dead. Although I don't know him, he is your friend."
"Woof woof." Nian Tang called out feebly, then lay down and stopped moving.
The rice came close to the noodle soup, as if to comfort him.
"You still have rice for the noodle soup, leave the rest to me," Yuan Zhou said.
"Woof woof woof." Nian Tang took the initiative to bring his head close to Yuan Zhou's palm for the first time and rubbed it gently.
In fact, dogs are very sensitive to human emotions. For example, Nian Tang knew without Yuan Zhou that Yuan Zhou would never touch him and could not touch him.
But now Nian Tang was obviously very sad, and for the first time he took the initiative to approach Yuan Zhou and rub his hand.
Today was also the first time Yuan Zhou touched noodle soup, and he also touched his head three times.
Yuanzhou gently touched Nian Tang's head and said nothing.
One person, two dogs, and one dog corpse, just stayed there quietly. After a while, Tangtang stood up again, walked to the little black dog, and knelt again.
This means that it can be safely handed over to Yuan Zhou for burial.
"Okay, don't worry, Noodles. I will take it for cremation and burial." Yuan Zhou said to Noodles seriously.
Yuan Zhou took two steps forward, ready to lift up the black dog. At this moment, Cheng Ying suddenly said: "Master, let me do it."
Yes, Cheng Ying came after all because she was worried. She had been here for a while and saw the scene of Yuan Zhou comforting the noodle soup.
But Cheng Ying never came out to disturb them, but watched quietly. Even when someone threw garbage during the period, Cheng Ying took it and said she would help throw it away later.
It wasn't until Yuan Zhou wanted to pick up the black dog in person that Cheng Ying couldn't help but step forward.
Cheng Ying has been in Yuanzhou's store for half a year and has a deep understanding of how mysophobic Yuanzhou is. He changes three sets of clothes a day and takes baths at least five times.
Cheng Ying couldn't understand it at first, but later she realized that Yuan Zhou wanted to ensure that there was no odorous dust on his body anytime and anywhere, for the purity of the ingredients and the health and taste of the diners.
When it comes to the food you eat, hygiene is more important than taste. The longer Cheng Ying follows Yuan Zhou, the more she discovers that a person's excellence is really not accidental, it is accumulated bit by bit.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou never touched his favorite noodle soup and rice, but now he wanted to hug the dog, so Cheng Ying naturally had to step forward.
"No need." Yuan Zhou did not turn to look at Cheng Ying or ask her why she came with him, but simply refused.
"But Master, you..." Cheng Ying took two anxious steps forward to stop her, but she didn't have time to finish her sentence.
Because Yuan Zhou had directly picked up the black dog, then stood up and looked at Cheng Ying seriously and said: "This is something Nian Tang asked me to do. I will do it as promised."
