Night, early morning.
The park at this hour is deserted and has gusts of cold wind, making it seem somewhat lonely.
The sight of two people walking a large golden retriever under the streetlights adds a touch of warmth to the somewhat indifferent park.
"Xiao Huang seems to like you a bit more. I'm not really useful at home. Like Gao Chongting said, it often lies at the door waiting for you to come back," Cheng Yudie chatted.
Wen He returned home at eleven o'clock at night.
When he learned that Xiao Huang was listless when taken out for a walk, Wen He suspected it was sick.
After all, before Wen He came home, it loved to go out for walks the most.
Sometimes it wouldn't even eat its favorite meat, just wanting to go out and play.
Now, when asked to go out, it doesn't perk up at all, which seems strange.
Therefore, Wen He tentatively asked Xiao Huang, "Want to go out and play?"
As a result, upon hearing this, Xiao Huang immediately wagged its tail so excitedly that it almost turned into a propeller, jumping and bounding around Wen He.
After seeing this scene…
Wen He and Cheng Yudie both realized that it wasn't sick, but wanted to go out and play with Wen He.
But it was already too late, and Wen He had rushed back on a late-night flight. Cheng Yudie was afraid that Wen He would be tired, so she wanted to rest first and take Xiao Huang out to play tomorrow.
Wen He saw the extremely excited Xiao Huang and didn't want to dampen its spirits, so he decided to take it out for a walk.
"Perhaps it's not that it likes me a bit more, but that it needs both of us. After all, we picked it up together. If you're not here, and it's just me, Xiao Huang probably won't be in good spirits."
Wen He saw Xiao Huang's very happy back and expressed a different opinion from Cheng Yudie.
After strolling for a while, they also planned to go home and rest.
However…
Just on the way home, they suddenly heard a scream, followed by a "splash" of falling into the water.
It was like a bomb exploding in the silent night.
Wen He and Cheng Yudie were both startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the river.
Almost without hesitation, the two of them, with Xiao Huang in tow, hurried towards the river.
"Help!… Save… Save…"
A woman wearing a helmet was struggling and floundering in the icy river.
Seeing this scene, Wen He and Cheng Yudie felt like a bolt of lightning had struck their minds!
Someone was drowning!
Realizing that something was wrong, Wen He and Cheng Yudie immediately looked around!
It was twelve o'clock in the early morning, plus it was winter, and tomorrow was a workday…
These factors all led to the fact that there was no one else around!
The worst thing was that neither Wen He nor Cheng Yudie could swim!
"I'll call for help and then go to the roadside to call for people!"
Cheng Yudie was very nervous. She quickly picked up her phone and dialed while walking quickly towards the nearest main road.
Wen He frantically searched for a lifebuoy around the railing.
The river water in winter is unbelievably cold.
Even in Guangzhou, the nights in December are still cold.
If you suddenly fall into the icy river without any warm-up preparation.
Even someone who can swim very well can easily encounter misfortune!
Not to mention people who can't swim at all, they basically won't last long before losing their lives!
Just as Wen He and Cheng Yudie were anxious.
A "splash" sound suddenly came from the river again.
This sound made Wen He and Cheng Yudie's hearts tremble, and they turned their heads sharply to look.
They saw that Xiao Huang had already fallen into the water and was quickly swimming towards the drowning woman.
"Xiao Huang!" Wen He and Cheng Yudie said in unison.
They were both so anxious that their scalps went numb and they hurried over.
At the last moment when the woman lost her strength, Xiao Huang finally swam to her side and supported her.
After receiving the girl, Xiao Huang tried hard to swim towards the shore.
When it was about to approach the shore…
Xiao Huang's swimming speed began to slow down.
Realizing that something was wrong, Wen He quickly rushed into the water.
Instantly!
The biting cold instantly devoured Wen He!
"Don't come down!"
When Wen He discovered that Cheng Yudie was also planning to imitate him, he quickly stopped Cheng Yudie's actions, and then he tried to move his feet towards Xiao Huang.
He didn't know if it was because of excessive tension or because of the icy river water.
In short, his thinking was clearer than ever at this moment.
The coldness of this river water had far exceeded his imagination, and his body couldn't bear it at all.
He had already started shivering almost the moment he touched the river water.
After walking a few steps, he finally came to Xiao Huang's side. After grabbing the girl it was carrying, Xiao Huang's body gradually sank.
Wen He's not-so-tall body also burst out with a strength he had never imagined at this time.
He held an adult woman in one hand and Xiao Huang in the other, walking step by step towards the shore.
"You… you stay here… and wait for 120 to come… I'll take Xiao Huang… to find a hospital…"
Wen He's mouth was uncontrollably shivering due to the extreme cold.
After putting down the unconscious girl, he held Xiao Huang in both hands and ran quickly towards the main road.
Fortunately, God favored him. After anxiously waiting for a moment by the roadside, he encountered an empty taxi.
"Go to the nearest pet hospital! Please hurry!!"
Wen He shouted quickly after getting into the car with Xiao Huang in his arms.
The driver was also discerning. Seeing that the two of them were so wet, he realized that something was wrong and slammed on the accelerator.
The next moment, a prompt sound came from the driver's phone.
【WeChat received, 500 yuan.】
After receiving Wen He's huge payment, the driver also gave it his all and drove like crazy.
"Xiao Huang… how old are you…"
"Your body… can't take it…"
"Wake up… don't sleep… it's too cold outside… let's go home and sleep, okay…"
"Tomorrow I'll buy you… your favorite meat… and we'll go for a walk together…"
"Xiao Huang… don't sleep… don't sleep…"
Wen He choked and called out to Xiao Huang.
While using the clothes on his upper body that hadn't been soaked to wipe away the ice water on its body.
It seemed to have become numb from the cold and its body didn't even tremble.
He could clearly feel that Xiao Huang's heartbeat was becoming a little slow.
Crystal clear tears rolled down his cheeks.
As if feeling Wen He's sadness, Xiao Huang opened its eyes with great difficulty.
It vaguely looked at the owner in front of it, and saw that he was so sad and grieved.
Its tail was wagging slightly.
It seemed to want to tell its owner in this way.
It wasn't cold at all, it felt very warm in its owner's arms.
So…
Please, owner, don't cry anymore.
