"'Radar'! 'Radar'!" Dong Qiangqiang whispered the dog's name, but did not hear any response.
The branches and leaves in front of him were much sparser than in October, and the field of view became better, but he did not see anything abnormal. Except for the rustling leaves blown by the wind, there was no other sound around. The "radar" seemed silent as if it had disappeared, and there was a strange atmosphere permeating the quiet green.
"Fortunately, it's an afternoon with plenty of light. If it were night..." Dong Qiangqiang said to himself and felt that his hand holding the handle of the shovel was a little slippery. He couldn't help but pray secretly, "It's best if I'm suspicious, don't I encountered something I shouldn’t have encountered.”
He hadn't been this nervous in a long time.
But what made him feel fortunate was that he saw neither pig's hoof marks nor other animal footprints on the ground in front of him. This made him slightly relieved, and he used the shovel head to push aside the leaves in front of him and walked forward. Keep shouting "Radar".
Just after he passed a small tree that was slightly taller than him, he suddenly heard a dog barking from behind on the right side. His heart shuddered and he instantly entered defense mode, holding a shovel and making a circuitous move towards the source of the sound.
After walking a few steps, he saw the radar barking at a foot sticking out from another patch of green plants through two low shrubs, and the shoe on that foot was gone.
He carefully observed his surroundings and shouted, "Is there anyone here?"
No one answered. Just when Dong Qiangqiang was about to move closer, the green plants suddenly shook violently. He immediately stopped, put the shovel in front of him, and stared at the movement in front of him with all his concentration.
But what he didn't expect was that "Radar" rushed in as soon as the green plants were shaking, and then he heard the familiar voice of the landlord.
"Hey, 'Radar'..."
Seeing that there was nothing unusual nearby, Dong Qiangqiang hurriedly walked over in three steps at a time. As soon as his eyes crossed the green plants, he saw the landlord lying crookedly on the ground. His hair, face and body were covered with grass clippings. His forehead was red and swollen, and there were scratches on his cheeks and hands. Although There was no bleeding but there was bloodshot streaks, and there was a tear in the trouser leg.
"Ms. Yulia, you..." Dong Qiangqiang walked to the old lady and squatted down slowly, "Did you encounter a wild boar just now?"
Although she looked much more embarrassed than usual, the landlord seemed to be in good spirits. She nodded to Dong Qiangqiang, confirming his guess.
"The boar doesn't seem to be here anymore."
"I just hit a tree and fainted. I don't know what happened next. Maybe it was driven away by the radar..." The old lady lovingly stroked the "radar" squatting next to her, "Radar" "Make a baby-like "嘘嘤" sound, seeming to feel sorry for the old man's experience.
"Can you stand up?"
"It's okay to stand up, but my feet seem to be sprained, so you have to help me back up."
Dong Qiangqiang carefully lifted the old lady up from the ground, then grabbed her arm with one hand and held her shoulder with the other, and walked towards the house.
As soon as the two figures appeared near Chaimen, Du Lan, who had been waiting in the kitchen for a long time, immediately rushed out and helped Dong Qiangqiang take the old lady home.
The old lady here had just sat down, and over there Du Lan had already fetched the medical kit from home and put it on the dining table according to Dong Qiangqiang's instructions, and then walked to the sink to wash his hands.
"Who is this lady?" the old lady raised her head and asked Dong Qiangqiang.
Before Dong Qiangqiang could speak, Du Lan turned around and answered quickly: "Hello, Ms. Yulia, my name is Du Lan, and I am his girlfriend."
"Oh, are you his girlfriend?" The old lady looked her profile up and down, "You are welcome to come over."
Dong Qiangqiang took out his mobile phone: "Wait a moment, I will call an ambulance for you right now."
Upon hearing what he said, the old lady immediately became happy and waved her hand: "It's just a skin injury, no need to go to the hospital."
"Aren't you going to the hospital?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't react for a moment, but he didn't know that the phone was connected, and the sound of "Hey, hey" floated out of the receiver.
The old lady motioned to Dong Qiangqiang to give her the phone, took the phone and explained a few words to the other party before hanging up.
"But isn't your foot sprained?" Dong Qiangqiang asked worriedly, "It's better to go to the hospital and have the doctor check it to see if there is any fracture or anything."
The old man ignored his question and turned to Du Lan, who had already put on gloves to prepare disinfection tools: "Are you also studying at the University of Trier? I know many Chinese students here, but I have never heard of your name. "
"I'm not studying here, I'm in Munich. Please bear with me, the alcohol may (make you) very painful."
The medicines in the box were very complete. Du Lan applied different ointments to the old lady after disinfection according to her request. The old lady seemed to be particularly curious about her. While she was packing the medical box, she couldn't help but ask: "What's yours?" Your movements are spot on and you look very experienced. Are you studying medicine?"
Du Lan glanced at Dong Qiangqiang next to him, and explained to the old lady with a smile: "I am not a medical student, I learned it by reading the materials. He was accidentally injured when I went to Sweden with him before, and I learned it at that time (These) will gradually become familiar.”
"So that's it, I understand." The old lady praised after hearing this, "You speak German better than him."
"Thank you." Du Lan replied politely, "Then you have a good rest and I'll say a few words to him."
"Go. Thank you today. I hope you can come here often in the future." The old lady shook Du Lan's hand gratefully, and Du Lan immediately felt the warmth coming from the other person's palm.
Returning to Dong Qiangqiang's room, Du Lan took a look at the large balcony outside the window.
"Wow, your balcony is so cool!" Du Lan walked up to the balcony and set up a pergola to look at the distant skyline. "This view is really broad. Can you see the Milky Way at night?"
"You can't see that. Although Trier is not an industrial city, the city's light pollution is quite serious. Besides, it is also close to Luxembourg, which affects it to some extent. However, there are indeed more stars at night than in Hannover." Dong Qiangqiang paused. "I didn't expect it to be like this today. Otherwise, I could have taken you to the hills to see the fields and windmills. Unfortunately, I'm running out of time now. You'll have to go to the train station soon."
"I think the old man likes you very much, so I feel relieved." Du Lan looked forward and seemed not to hear Dong Qiangqiang's regret at all, "Just stay down and live down. Practicing your language is more important than being able to access the Internet at home." , after all, you didn’t come to Germany to surf the Internet.”
"That's what I plan to do now," Dong Qiangqiang suddenly hugged Du Lan's waist from behind, held her in his arms, and said softly, "Sometimes I think it would be nice if you were here (reading) too, that way I can see you every day."
His eyes were also staring into the distance, and he didn't notice Du Lan's cheeks blushing at what he said.
"Do you want me to come over?" Du Lan asked quietly, "I can transfer to another school. Trier University should also have materials science."
"Ah?" Dong Qiangqiang was startled by her words, "You want to transfer to another school?"
"Haha, if I test you, you will show your fox tail, right?" Du Lan held his arm and mocked, "Are you afraid of me coming?"
"No, no, what am I afraid of?" Dong Qiangqiang lowered his head and kissed her hair with the fresh mint smell, "I really want you to come over."
"Hypocritical. Insincere words." Du Lan curled his lips, "You guys are all the same, you are afraid that your girlfriend will always keep an eye on you. Am I right, Mr. Liar?"
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right." Dong Qiangqiang hugged Du Lan tighter, "But some people just like liars who are hypocritical and insincere. Don't you think it's strange?"
"It's annoying. It's becoming more and more immoral." Du Lan muttered in a low voice, "Hey, why did I fall in love with you in the first place?"
"I'm so obsessed with it."
The two cuddled together and enjoyed the long-lost sweet time.
It wasn't until he heard his cell phone ringing wildly in the room that Dong Qiangqiang said: "It takes almost half an hour to drive to the train station. Can you go to the bathroom again before leaving? Turn right and walk to the end."
"What are you doing? Are you afraid that I will listen to your call?" Du Lan said with a smirk, "Don't worry, someone is really robbing me, I will just let you go and help you."
"It's really a villain's heart to judge a gentleman's heart." Dong Qiangqiang took the phone to the balcony, "You see for yourself, Lao Bai is calling, what's wrong with this?"
"Then maybe you two have something shameful to do." Du Lan teased with a smile.
"Whoever is afraid of listening to you is a puppy." Dong Qiangqiang muttered in a low voice and pressed "Connect" and "Hands-free" at the same time.
"Hey, Lao Bai." Du Lan rushed to say, "I haven't contacted you for a long time. I heard that your boy Yanfu has a new girlfriend. When are you going to introduce her to me?"
Lao Bai was silent for a few seconds before reacting: "Du Lan? Did you go to Lao Dong's place?"
"She took a group to Luxembourg and took some time to come and see me. Is everything going well with the tour group? I see that the registered users and comments of 'Lebai' have doubled recently, and a group of them are particularly active. It seems that Lele's operations are doing well. That's great. You have to reward her well and don't be stingy."
Seeing the two of them starting to chat, Du Lan stretched out and prepared to go to the bathroom.
"Oh, I have some good news for you."
Hearing the words "good news", Du Lan took back his step out of the door, raised his ears and leaned to the phone and asked impatiently: "Lao Bai, what good news do you have?"
"Lu Wei found it."
