Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 123
[Chapter 123 Grey Cat]
Lu Lingxi had a meal at Uncle Li’s house at noon, and in the afternoon strolled with Yan Yue to go to the Lingshui River to have a look.
Years ago, the two of them discussed renting a few more acres of land by the Lingshui River and digging a larger pond. There were a lot of things at that time, and the pond thing was never implemented. This time, the two planned to live in the flower garden for a day, and signed the lease contract by the way. Uncle Li had already contacted them before, the price and the tenure of the leased land had been negotiated, and it was time for them to make a final decision.
Originally, the two of them planned to sign the contract after dinner, but the other party happened to go out to visit relatives today and would not be able to return until the evening. Lu Lingxi thought that he was not in a hurry anyway, so he just went to the river to have a look, and planned how to divert the water easily.
The two walked slowly all the way, and Da Hei quietly followed Lu Lingxi’s side. Although it was early spring, it was not cold at all outside, and the sun was shining warmly on the body. Before going out, Yan Yue insisted that Lu Lingxi wear a down jacket, but he himself only wore a woolen jacket. Lu Lingxi protested for a long time before trying to avoid wearing a down jacket. It was too hot to wear. He remembered Uncle Li’s reminder and discussed with Yan Yue whether to find someone to dig a well. Uncle Li was worried that there would be a severe drought in the spring.
Speaking of which, Uncle Li is not unfounded. The weather has been a little weird since last winter until now. At the beginning of November last year, the temperature in Fengcheng suddenly dropped sharply. There was no heating at that time, and it was freezing even at home. Many people have caught a cold from the cold, and the cold medicines on the market are almost swept away. Later, Fengcheng provided heating ten days in advance, and experienced old farmers said that they encountered a cold winter. Who knew that it was cold for a month in total, and the weather began to warm up again in December. After that, there was no snow for two whole months, and the good weather continued until the Chinese New Year.
When spring begins, the ice on the Lingshui River will completely melt, and it is a sign of “spring flowers blooming”. Uncle Li was a little worried, and told Lu Lingxi in private that he was afraid of severe drought depending on the weather. But he can’t say for sure, and he doesn’t know what happened in recent years. God is like the face of a child. For example, in the east of Guangdong, where Uncle Li’s son works, there was a severe drought in the spring last year, and even the water at home was difficult. After a few months of hard work, it started to rain. As a result, the rain could not stop at all, and it turned into a flood. All in all, such an abnormal climate is not a good thing, so Uncle Li thought about digging a well to prepare.
Lu Lingxi didn’t know much about this, but he believed in Uncle Li’s judgment. He said that Yan Yue agreed immediately, and Yan Yue had no objection at all, as long as Lu Lingxi was happy.
“And Qiu Tian’s flower garden and Dad’s vegetable greenhouse.” Lu Lingxi added, after thinking about it, he said to Yan Yue, “Why don’t we pay for a well in the village, anyway, it’s convenient to do it together, in case it’s true What if you encounter drought?”
Micro Gardening and Lingshui Village have always cooperated well, and the residents in the village also take good care of Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi vaguely regards this place as his second home, and his affection for Lingshui Village is much deeper than that for Zhongjing. He has been thinking about doing something for the village, and he doesn’t have much money to dig a well, so it is convenient for the village to stop water in the event of a severe drought.
After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, he looked at Yan Yue expectantly. Yan Yue laughed lightly and agreed, “Okay.”
Yan Yue was used to doing things from the perspective of interests, but liked Lu Lingxi’s softness and kindness. He rubbed Lu Lingxi’s hair dotingly and jokingly said, “Xiaoxi is the boss, and Big Brother Yan listens to Xiaoxi.”
Lu Lingxi gave him a puffed up look, and smiled with his eyes bent.
The two walked all the way to the Lingshui River, and heard the rushing sound of the river in the distance. This was the first time that Lu Lingxi came here after the Lingshui River was completely purified. Different from the blue water he saw on the panel, the Lingshui River in front of him was clear and transparent. Under the sunlight, it seemed that even the patterns on the pebbles at the bottom of the river could be clearly seen.
Due to the warm weather, tender green grasses have already sprung up in the moist soil by the river. Lu Lingxi squatted by the river and reached out to touch it excitedly, calling out to Yan Yue to come and have a look. Last year when the Lingshui River was the most polluted, except for the mutated bitter grass at the bottom of the river, almost nothing grew on the riverside, and it was extremely bare and ugly. Although the green patch in front of him is not very conspicuous, in Lu Lingxi’s eyes, it looks prettier than anything else.
“Brother Xiaoxi.”
Xiao Shishi took Ah Huang and ran from the village from a distance, calling Lu Lingxi’s name as he ran. Lu Lingxi got up with a smile, and the small stone rushed towards his arms like a small cannonball. Yan Yue was worried that Lu Lingxi wouldn’t be able to hold the small stone, so he reached out his hand to stop it lightly, and brought the small stone into his arms. Xiao Shishi pursed his lips and lengthened his voice softly, “Brother Xiaoxi…”
Lu Lingxi stood beside Yan Yue amusingly and touched Xiao Shishi’s face, “Happy New Year’s Day , Xiao Shishi.” Xiao Shishi immediately became
happy. , smiled and narrowed his eyes, “Brother Xiaoxi, Happy New Year.”
Lu Lingxi took out two red envelopes from Yan Yue’s coat pocket and handed them to Xiao Shishi. He has been receiving red envelopes throughout the New Year, and finally has the opportunity to give them away. “Come on, brother gave it to you.”
Xiao Shishi blinked and shook his head, “Mom told me not to accept red envelopes from others.”
Lu Lingxi saw the seriousness on his face, and smiled slightly, “It’s brother Xiaoxi and Big Brother Yan gave it to no one else.”
Xiao Shitou happily accepted the red envelope and grinned loudly: “Thank you Brother Xiaoxi and Uncle Yan.”
Yan Yue: “…”
Lu Lingxi almost died of laughter, Xiao Shishi was clearly on purpose. He couldn’t help laughing and didn’t look at Yan Yue’s expression, he reached out and squeezed Xiao Shi Shi’s face. “Little villain.”
Xiao Shitou hugged Lu Lingxi’s arm in a pleasing manner, and squeezed from Yan Yue’s arms to Lu Lingxi’s. With the last lesson, Xiao Shishi has been quite obedient during this time. Every day I either stay at home obediently, or follow Yu Xiaojuan in the flowerbed. On the first day of the first day, Lu Lingxi called him and said that he would come to Lingshui Village in Nian, and Xiao Shishi began to look forward to it. After finally waiting for Lu Lingxi to come over, Xiao Shishi went to the flowerbed to find no one around, but Ah Huang sniffed the smell of Da Hei and searched all the way.
Lu Lingxi played with Little Stone by the river for a while, and it was almost three o’clock. Yan Yue touched Lu Lingxi’s face, although he said it wasn’t too cold outside, but after staying for a long time, his face was still a little cold to the touch. Seeing his movement, Xiao Shitou rolled his eyes, and immediately said obediently, “Brother Xiaoxi, let’s go back.”
Lu Lingxi also felt that the time spent outside was a little long, so he nodded.
With his back to Lu Lingxi, Xiao Shishi made a face at Yan Yue. Yan Yue’s heart sank, and he rudely reached out and carried the small stone to his side. “Uncle Yan is pulling you.” Yan Yue focused on the word “uncle”. Xiao Shishi wanted to break free, but he couldn’t resist Yan Yue’s strength. He pursed his lips and looked aggrievedly at Lu Lingxi.
Lu Lingxi was a little dumbfounded, there was nothing he could do with the two of them. He was about to speak when a dog barked from the far village. Da Hei stopped abruptly, called Lu Lingxi in a low voice, and ran towards the village quickly.
Ah Huang closely followed behind Da Hei, Yan Yue frowned slightly, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Lingxi looked in the direction of the village with a strange expression, and said, “Da Hei said that the dogs in the village were bullied.”
“Yes . That gray cat must be the gray cat.” Xiao Shishi jumped up immediately, forgetting for a while that he didn’t deal with Yan Yue, and shouted angrily.
“What gray cat?” Lu Lingxi was a little dazed.
Xiao Shitou clenched his hands into fists and explained to Lu Lingxi angrily: “I don’t know when a big gray cat came to the village. That cat was so annoying, it bullied the dogs in the village. Ah Huang and it There have been two fights. The big cat runs away every time he can’t beat Ah Huang, and when Ah Huang is gone, he will come back to bully the dogs in the village.”
Because Xiaoshitou can communicate with Ah Huang, he subconsciously regards himself as a It’s with the village dog. Every time he sees the dogs in the village being bullied, Xiao Shishi has a kind of anger of the same enemy.
Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at each other, and both felt that this cat was probably not an ordinary cat, it should have evolved. “Let’s go and see.” Yan Yue said.
Lu Lingxi nodded.
The three entered the village and followed the dog’s bark all the way to find it. Soon he saw a big gray cat squatting on the roof proudly, squinting and looking down at Da Hei. Daikuro hunched his back and looked at it vigilantly. A familiar little white dog happily ran around Da Hei, barking provocatively at the gray cat from time to time. The gray cat was too lazy to pay attention to the little white dog, and kept his eyes fixed on the big black. On the contrary, Da Hei is still distracted by the little white dog. Whenever the little white dog leaves its range of activities, Da Hei will stop the little white dog with one paw. The little white dog seemed to think that Da Hei was playing games with it, sticking out his tongue and licking Da Hei’s face affectionately, and ran more happily.
The gray cat on the roof heard Lu Lingxi’s footsteps, and turned to look lazily. When it saw Lu Lingxi clearly, it immediately gave up the confrontation with Da Hei, and rushed to Lu Lingxi, meowing.
Lu Lingxi met the gray cat’s golden pupils, and faintly felt that he had seen this cat somewhere. Yan Yue reminded: “Last time in the south of the city.”
Lu Lingxi was stunned. The last time he and Yan Yue went to the south of the city to see the purification of the soil there, they happened to meet this cat. At that time, the cat was lying on the tree basking in the sun and barked at him a few times. However, the south of the city is a long way from here, and I don’t know how this cat ran so far here?
Da Hei saw Lu Lingxi trot to protect him in front of him, and the gray cat glanced at Lu Lingxi again, then turned and jumped away.
“It’s it.” Little Stone said angrily.
Lu Lingxi coaxed Xiao Shishi comfortably, feeling that Xiao Shishi was more angry than Da Hei, as if he had been bullied himself.
“Wait until we catch it next time and teach it a lesson, okay?”
Xiao Shishi nodded vigorously, “We must teach it a lesson, and don’t let it bully the dogs in the village.”
Lu Lingxi agreed amusingly.
After coaxing Xiao Shi, the two sent Xiao Shi back home. On the way back to the flower garden, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue talked about the cat. He remembered that Xiao Hei was also found in the village last time, and this time he found the cat in the village again. It is estimated that both were attracted by the big willow tree. In a way, animals are much sharper than humans.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi looked up at the big willow tree not far away. Through the panel as an intermediary, he has a wonderful connection with the big willow tree. Lu Lingxi had a faint feeling that the big willow tree seemed to be evolving again.
