======================
Lin Hai ran to Huanxing District 2, and it was already dark and the clouds were getting dark.
At this time, the star had already disappeared from the distant mountain, and the whole city showed its last color. He came down from the slope and saw small villas everywhere in the second area of the star. There were extremely clean lawns in front of the villas, and perhaps the hostess was fiddling with the strange flowers and plants planted. Sometimes, he would see some students returning from nearby colleges after school, and arrived in a car at home. When he got off the bus, he saw Lin Hai running by and looked at him with a strange look.
Perhaps people here don’t like running at this time.
The scenery along the way extends to a very far distance with the road. Lin Hai expects to arrive at Lin's Manor in two kilometers, and suddenly there is a violent barking sound from the side.
Dogs are ancient pets. Although they still exist, they are almost rare on many planets. First of all, they are because dogs are easily contaminated with parasites. Although they are gentle, they still need to be cared for. Compared with smart pets produced by pet companies, dogs that require time and patience to domesticate can't be compared with smart pets that are loved by children and are not dangerous.
The most important thing is that dogs are valuable. If you want to tame a dog, you have to go through the cumbersome procedures of the Quarantine Bureau to regularly quarantine and pay multiple taxes, and there is also a luxury tax. The various costs are too high, so not many people can raise a real dog.
Lin Hai listened to the violent and ups and downs of dog barking, and finally confirmed that this was not a smart pet...but a real dog.
Lin Hai turned around and ran into the next fork. The closer he was to the barking of the dog, the more he could hear a human-like voice mixed in it. His eyebrows frowned like two comet tails passing through the air. Most of the creatures like dogs are very gentle, but some manic characteristics are not ruled out. If it is really a dog that hurts people... his fists have already been clenched.
After several twists and turns, Lin Hai had already arrived at the site of the accident. It was an old man with a hunched back, wearing a short hexagram, holding a yellow dog that looked a little huge, but his other hand was holding a big tree and bent to cough. The cough seemed to be about to cough out his lungs, making his back curl up like shrimps.
The big yellow dog next to him was obviously scared by this kind of thing, and kept barking around the owner, with a sense of worry and fear in his eyes. This is a very quiet place in Huanxing District 2, with only two or three villas around him, and the floor-to-ceiling windows of those villas reveal a quiet interior view and the flashing anti-theft lights clearly show that there is no one in these villas.
The old man had an asthma attack. If he had not been supported by his strong temperament, he might have coughed to the ground and fainted. However, the density of the houses around him was extremely small, and no one was there at this time. The big yellow dog could only be anxious and barked with fear. Seeing the arrival of the forest, the big yellow dog suddenly jumped forward and stood in front of the old man, obviously fulfilling his duty to protect his master.
During the violent cough, the old man could see that Lin Hai wanted to help, but the big yellow dog was probably scared by his master's condition, so now he was in a state of mind, and no one could cross it to contact the old man unless he stepped over his body.
The old man wanted to stop the big yellow dog, but he had no strength except holding the rope in his hand tightly. The cough that was almost breathless also left him on the verge of hypoxia, and he might faint in the next few seconds at any time.
And he knew very well that without his own instructions, the loyal yellow dog around him would never allow anyone to approach him. Unless he faced a fatal weapon, after he suddenly became ill and fainted, the police officers who came to tame the yellow dog, that is, the Wildlife Disposal Department, were the police officers who were gun-armed and ammunition in the Wildlife Disposal Department.
The old man was anxious and cursed in his heart. Dahuang was usually well-behaved, but now he was frightened by him. Didn’t he see that the young man in front of him came to help? But when he thought about it, he was a little self-deprecating. Dahuang was just a dog after all, and in a critical moment, how could he tell so much? He was stuffy in his chest and was about to faint. This old man was also an extraordinary person... It’s a pity that he couldn’t help himself, and he could not reverse his destiny in the end.
Just as the old man's hand holding the big tree gradually dropped, and when his violent coughing and lung breathing stopped kneeling to the ground, he felt a hand that was inserted horizontally through his ribs and holding his arm.
It was the young man who had just stood in a distance and could not get close to him.
"Rhubarb!" The old man reacted and finally used all his last strength to stop him. He might have bitten the young man's huge yellow dog. But the next moment, he was stunned, because the young man came to him at some point, holding his body that was about to fall with one hand, and steadily stroking the huge yellow dog's head with the other hand. The vicious Dahuang, who had been before, was now extremely enjoying, enjoying his stroking head with great green eyes, and at the same time, he looked at him with pleading expectations.
The young man had a bright eye and a trustworthy temperament. Perhaps it was this temperament that made Dahuang finally let go of his guard and entrust him to him.
After taming the big yellow dog, he supported the old man and leaned against the big tree. Lin Hai stretched out his hand and pinched the old man's tiger's mouth. His other hand was like an eagle's claw, pinching the inch of space below his nose and above his lips.
The old man, who was a little distracted due to lack of oxygen, only felt a stinging pain in the tiger's mouth and under the tip of his nose. He didn't understand why this young man had to do such a move?
In just a short moment, the stinging pain from two parts quickly spread out, as if it was rushing straight into his brain stem. At this moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes wide and woke up a lot.
Then the young man changed his actions in this way and quickly pressed several parts of his body, as if he was doing massages, but with every move he took, the old man's breath of anger kept following him like a shadow, and it seemed that there was finally sign of loosening. The young man turned the old man sideways and pressed him on his back with a unique fingering. Every time, he actually popped the short jacket on his back and flew out of ashes, but the old man's face gradually became smooth and bloody.
With the last time the young man combed, the old man coughed up a mouthful of black blood in front of him, but at that moment, there was an unprecedented pleasure in clearing his breath.
The big yellow dog jumped happily, and the old man looked surprised and slowly stood up as Lin Hai was covered in sweat.
"Old man, I just helped you relieve it, but this disease still needs medical treatment to cure it. You may not have such good luck next time..."
After resting for a while, the old man looked up at Lin Hai and said, "I can't breathe, I'll die at all. Are you afraid of death? Whether to treat or not is my business. You kid is meddling in other people's business." He looked at Dahuang, who was jumping towards Lin Hai, and scolded, "You idiot, I'm getting better. What's your business? How happy are you? What a calf!"
Lin Hai immediately stood there in a daze. He remembered that the old man should be friendly, not to mention that he had just saved him. But he didn't expect that the old man had a very strange temper.
But Lin Hai then came to his senses in a short moment. Yes, asthma may be a big deal in Haizhou Star, but in places like the Riverside Star with developed medical treatment, there should be no problem as long as you persist in treatment. Looking at the black blood coughed out by the old man, it should be caused by long-term chest tightness. It can be imagined that he must have some tangled thoughts. He is unwilling to cooperate to completely cure it. This is why he developed such a bad temper. The mentality sometimes determines whether a person is healthy. In a slum, if he does not have a strong mentality, he is probably either crazy or dead.
Perhaps because he felt that he was a bit too much, the old man shook his head a little, and said a little lowered, "I'm not scolding you. After all, you kid did the right thing today!... I went out to exercise and stroll around, but it actually happened to be a mess. If you are not very busy, just follow me."
Lin Hai was amused and crying. But the old man had a sense of courage, or the way he was saved was still justified, which made Lin Hai a little impressed. Besides, there were few people who were in secluded here, worried that he would get sick again, so he arranged it with him for the first time.
An old and a young, a dog. Amid the dense night lights of the planet, walking in tiny places on this block.
************
"There are still young people who are willing to run these days... Where do you live?" the old man asked casually as they walked.
Lin Hai pointed to the brightly lit buildings in the distance. People living in Huanxing District 2 are all from the upper class. The old man should be the same. Although his clothes are a bit old, he can see the exquisiteness of the materials. Although his face climbed up the lines of time, the outline of his eyebrows is extremely strong, his hair is extremely neatly hanging backwards, with a little silver thread embellishment.
Apart from the miserable asthma just now, the old man now looks a bit graceful. If he stood outside the dance academy, it might attract many young and beautiful girls who love uncles. And when this old man was young, he must have been a playboy.
The old man looked along Lin Hai's fingers, then casually said, "Oh, Lin's Manor." Then he thought of something, narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Hai, "Are you the illegitimate son of Lin Wei's garbage star?"
He spoke with a little bit of frizz and smile, which seemed to be a sneer. If Lin Hai had not been familiar with the old man's temperament, he knew that he was mocking Lin Wei, and he would have thought it was targeting him.
In the second area of Huanxing, there should be celebrities, and the speed and breadth of some news here have always been extremely rapid. It is not surprising that the old man knows it.
Seeing Lin Hai's promise, the old man smiled kindly for the first time, "I didn't expect that boy Lin Wei could give birth to a funny boy like you. You just massaged me a few times and it actually made me better. And I, the rhubarb that I don't want to enter, can be tamed by you?"
"You know I'm from the garbage planet. People on the garbage planet have not had that good medical conditions. If there are no ways to save their lives, survival will definitely be a major problem. As for rhubarb... garbage planet is a paradise for wild animals, and the wild animals there seem to be no rejection of me. Maybe they are born to be liked by animals..."
Lin Hai spoke easily, but the old man was a little silent for the first time. The hardships in Lin Hai's words were not something that a young man of his age could have and experience. It is conceivable that on that poor planet, this kid would definitely experience much, which has led to his growth and maturity.
"When I was young, I also suffered a lot of hardships..." Perhaps because of the common topic of hardship, the old man said more and more forever, and he was not so aggressive towards Lin Hai.
The two of them talked and walked along the way, and it was easy to get to the neighborhood of Lin's Manor.
Through the chat between the two, Lin Hai knew that the old man's surname was Jiang and lived nearby, but he did not get any information about other family members from him. He probably was also a lonely old man. He was also a somewhat mysterious old man, because from his tone, he seemed to have experienced war when he was young, and those days of fighting often made him feel a little drunk now. At the same time, he always felt that I was the best in the world. It seemed that the entire riverside star was in his eyes, and there was no one in his eyes that could be found. Of course, Lin Hai was just a "little guy" who he liked a little. This made Lin Hai, who had just saved the life of the old boy, laugh and cry again.
When he arrived at the neighborhood where Lin's Manor was located, the old man wanted to leave. Seeing the old man's lonely figure and the big yellow dog's reluctant expression, Lin Hai finally felt a little pity, so he turned around and asked to send him back.
The old man did not refuse or refuse the polite words, so he went home naturally with Lin Hai. He continued to chat all the way. Of course, the domineering attitude in the old man's words made Lin Hai unable to say a word.
The two walked to a manor on the uphill side. After facing this manor for a long time, Lin Hai did not say anything. Finally, he said, "Is this your... house?"
Although the manor where Mr. Jiang is located is a bit remote, in Lin Hai's view, its area and complexity and height of the building are far beyond the Lin Manor, which he originally thought was extremely luxurious.
Although I can't figure out the origin of this old man, this has made Lin Hai feel sympathetic to this old man. A house that is so big, living alone with a man and a dog, will indeed make people have a stinky temper.
When the old man was sent home, the doorman slipped open, and the big yellow dog jumped into the door. The old man turned his head and said to him, "Now, young people are in health that are getting worse and worse, and there are not many young people who can run like you. Remember to persevere."
