Yuanwai Chen in the cage

06.

I still think about the little friend who has passed away. The life of a mouse is short, not as long as cats and dogs, just like disposable tableware, one is gone, and there will be a replacement later, but I think I will remember Kuro for a lifetime.

But since she was sent back, the little girl came to report almost every day in order to see Kuro, one or two days a day, so that Kuro, who originally felt abandoned, slowly ignited her confidence in human beings.

"Human beings, there are scary people, but some are quite cute." Kuro spoke slowly, until the little girl left, and his dark eyes shone with light.

I know that Kuro was still injured, he didn't say, but I know that being thrown on the ground like that, even if it's just a child, is very dangerous for hamsters who are younger than them.

Kuro was taken away by the person who discovered it at the end, his body froze, and he was no longer the third-line mouse that I get along with day and night.

It's rare to miss Chunqiu sadly, but Sanyu carried me to the dining table, and all the sentimentality disappeared in an instant. Looking at the kitchen not far away, the kitchen knife reflected the light, and I was a little restless.

Do humans... eat hamsters?

Will such a cute hamster like me become someone else's ration? !I was a little nervous, I couldn't help but put my limbs on the ground, my belly was tightly pressed against the ground, my body was stiff, and I watched Sanyu's movements motionlessly.

Unexpectedly, Sanyu brought a cake over. The baked soft pastry exudes a faint aroma, and the top is sprinkled with lemon syrup and dotted with some lemon zest. Just looking at it makes my index finger twitch. .

But Sanyu didn't catch my gaze, sat in front of him, crossed his fingers on the dining table, thoughtfully, and looked behind as if he was empty.

I was heartbroken, even though I succumbed to the delicious food and tweeted twice, Sanyu seemed to be unknown.Is this the difference between humans and hamsters?I thought food knew no borders!

Then Sanyu moved, but it wasn't what I imagined. He cut some cake and handed it over as a tribute.

He clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and moved his lips slightly, as if he was meditating on something.It took a while to open my eyes, and nodded my head across the cage.The strength is not strong, but it is quite comfortable, and I am happy to let him massage me.

Sanyu only touched it and then withdrew his hand. At that time, I didn't know the real face of this person. I thought it was because Sanyu was not used to my existence. I was a little disappointed thinking that if I could speak human words, I would have asked him to stop. Go ahead, let's have some back and belly meat too!

"Happy birthday, Chen Sanyu."

Finally, Sanyu said so, looking very lonely while cutting and eating the cake.

I don’t know why, but eating should be the happiest thing, but I thought of myself when I knew that Ku Luo had left, and wanted to comfort the new owner with empathy, but was separated by a cage, which perfectly explained what is called the world’s happiest The long distance is not life and death, but I am in front of you, but you don't open the door for me.

This is probably the reason why pets are like masters.

07.

I take back my preface, what pet is like a master?If I have the opportunity to keep a pet in the future, I will absolutely never take him to that inhumane place.

The decor is nice and the atmosphere is nice, but what's the use of that? !

Even if a woman in white smiles and praises me for being docile and a cute hamster, I will definitely not be bribed—whatever the case, I should attach a few melon seeds!

Even so, I still couldn't restrain my desire to run away. I was on the bus all the way and quickly vomited. As soon as I entered the door, I felt something was wrong. Even if I became a house mouse, my biological instinct still told me that I must not stay in this place for a long time. , it is better to leave as soon as possible.

However, Sanyu didn't give me this chance, and walked into the small room firmly.

After getting along for half a month, I know that this person has a soft personality and is easy to talk, otherwise he would not be eaten to death by the oily man; his attitude towards me is also unreasonable, and he changed to a big and spacious one. There is a watchtower on the top, a swing on the bottom, and a back garden attached to the mansion. The feeling of getting rich overnight can't be better, and even the food has improved a lot.

But Sanyu is extremely persistent in certain things, for example, regarding his business, overnight cakes are not sold, and the raw materials he insists on will never be easily changed--and now, he brought me to this place without warning No, I don't care about my shivering boyish heart.

And my heart jumps to its highest point at hearing my own name too, if the mouse has an EKG too, my heart rate is absolutely tachy, the only thing that's going to work is send me home, now!immediately! !

The mouse doesn’t have an electrocardiogram, and Sanyu and I don’t have any kind of telepathy. I stared at the dead fish and felt the shaking of the cage until the scenery of the hole above freezes. Lose.

The man in white fished me out like a fisherman who has been begging for life at sea for many years. He was skilled and fast. I haven't realized what the situation is now, whether I want to change into mouse mud or mouse cake. The whole mouse is confused. Then it was put into a glass jar.

My curiosity overcame my fear, and I raised my eyes to survey my surroundings.

I seemed to be placed on a platform, with Sanyu and the man in white standing above me. Only at this time did I deeply realize that there is a huge gap between mice and humans. No matter in appearance or size, humans just move their fingers. My frail body will cry and mourn.

"35 grams...not bad." The man in white looked at the scale.

"Will it be too fat?" Sanyu asked. I really wanted him to stop asking. Have you ever considered being a rat?

"No, I've been looking at my body shape for at least three months, and I can gain some weight at this weight." The man in white said, pushing the glasses that had slid down.

"It's been three months?" Sanyu was a little surprised, wondering if he had discovered the truth about me as a mouse.

I ignored the fact that I was a slow-moving product, and only after hearing Sanyu’s inquiry did I realize that the white-clothed man in front of me was a doctor. Aha, now I’m certified by a doctor as a fiber fit. Brother Yu, let’s go home and have dinner first. Ha, I know you bought new snacks.

"You don't know how old he is?" The doctor frowned, and his calm tone sounded even more scary.

Here it is, that instinctive fear again, can we not scare the mice with a disagreement?Although I am very happy that you just spoke for me, the snacks will not divide you!

"I'm not sure...I was given to me by someone else." Sanyu looked a little embarrassed, wringing his fingers awkwardly underneath, and I could clearly see what was in the glass basin.

Hey, don't bully my master!

The doctor sighed, and the effort of two sentences was almost enough to explain it clearly, and then he spoke clearly: "I have seen this kind of thing too much in this line of work, you can call me nagging, but small animals are also life, I hope you will remember this."

"I'll treat the members well." Sanyu said without any promises.Gently touching me who was still in the glass basin, the feeling of thumbs gently rubbing from the top of the head to the tail was so good, it was so comfortable that I almost lay down.

But the warm time didn't last long, because the next second the doctor grabbed me and pinched the fur on the back of my neck just right. The whole mouse couldn't move and could only be slaughtered.

"There is a wound here." The doctor used the other finger to touch the part covered by the fur. There was an inconspicuous mark, which would be ignored if you didn't look carefully. "The pet store will lock the mice together, but this is wrong. ...they would fight, seriously and even fatally, just because they had to sell them for money."

Being said so nakedly, Sanyu showed a complicated expression on his face, and I was a little embarrassed.In fact, this is not a big deal, the mice living in the fish tank have encountered these things more or less.Am I still alive and well?

Then the doctor turned me over, belly up, and exposed my most vulnerable place to this malicious human being. I wanted to struggle but was restrained to death. I suspect that this is not the first time this person has done this. The actions are quick and the methods are bad, and it is unknown how many of the same kind have suffered.

I, a good mouse boy, was beaten up and down, no better than touching my softness, pressing the soft flesh of my body, and being forced to show my teeth-don't press it, if you press it again, I will bite you!

I don't know what it feels like to vomit in humans, but being forced to spit out the food in your cheek pouch is not good. Those are my treasured reserves!Are humans even hungry for hamster food to this extent?

"You don't need to put a lot of food at once, the staff members will want to stuff it all into their cheek pouches." The doctor pointed to the cereal flakes and melon seeds on the toilet paper, which was wet with saliva, "You give too much food, the food stored in the cheek pouches If you don’t eat it all, it will be easily spoiled, and the mouth of mice is also prone to inflammation.”

"I see." Sanyu replied seriously.

No, what do you know?Know to reduce my food?Or do you want to grab what's in my mouth?I shouted crazily from the bottom of my heart, but because I didn't dare to make mistakes under the doctor's hands, I was wronged, and even the fur lost its luster for a moment. I only hope that someone can respect the opinion of the little animal.

Sanyu looked at me listlessly, couldn't help poking me angrily and amusingly, but didn't notice that he poked the doctor's palm, "Don't do that, Yuanwai, I won't starve you."

Stop it.I turned around and pointed my round butt at the man.

I, Mr. Chen, conservatively estimate that the three-month-old silver fox mouse, besides having a new name and a new owner, the happiest thing in life is eating.

I don’t know if the obsession with being in the fish tank is too deep. Having food to eat has become the most important thing in the life of a rat. Even if I have enough to eat, I don’t want to keep food in the basin. How much, even if the next meal is late and I can't grab it, I can still have extra food to keep me going for a while.

And since I have a new home, I no longer have to worry about whether there is a meal or not. Sanyu feeds me well and gives me extra meals from time to time. The happiest thing is to eat enough and sleep well.

But maybe it’s because of habit, I eat as much as I feed, and when I see that my bowl is empty, I will put some more food, and repeat several times, my cheek pouches are not empty for a day.

Now tell me to reduce meals?I know that humans lose weight, but do hamsters also need it? !

I was a little melancholy, even if I don't understand what stomatitis is, I still understand that there is no need to put too much food. I have to face this cruel reality.

Humans have thick girls, and it's not an exaggeration to have thick silver foxes, right?

It is said that being able to eat is a blessing?Can't it be applied because of different species?You are racist!

Still thinking about a hundred reasons to convince Sanyu, he didn't even know when he would be taken home.But what I can understand is that since that day, my food is only enough to eat [-]% full, and even the occasional snacks have been reduced. Sanyu will ask the doctor from time to time whether this will be too much.

By the next check, it was 37g and I thought the scale must be broken.
