two ears pricked up

Huo Zheng went out on business, Hong Jin refused to return him the deed of the Huo family's horse farm, and the village head and abbot were responsible for all matters that could not be resolved by the villagers of Mingyue Village. He came out of the horse farm and went straight to the house where the village head lived.

What Huo Zheng didn't know was that the village chief had been bribed by Hong Jin's gifts. Huo Zheng came to the door and begged the village chief to be a witness for the title deed of Huo's racecourse. Unclear and devious, Huo Zheng was straightforward, and immediately understood the attitude of the village chief.

He said in a deep voice: "Village chief, are you unwilling to be a fair witness for me and the Huo family?"

The village chief sighed, pretending to be deep, saying that there was nothing he could do.Huo Zheng remained silent, "I understand."

Hong Jin had colluded with the village head before he came, and no matter what he did now, the village head would not testify for him about the Huo family horse farm deed.

Well, the village chief's refusal to accept this matter does not mean that he will give up. He will go to the city to find an official, and ask the people in the government to come and solve it.

When Huo Zheng left, the weather had turned cloudy and cool. The short summer drought period had passed, and the land was dry and cracked for the rest of the day. Today, there might be a rain to moisten it.

The sky was still clear, and after a while, large dark clouds drifted with the wind. The dense clouds were dense, and the dry and hot breath rose from the ground. There was a dull thunder, and Huo Zheng raised his head. Bai Xi outside the house.

Bai Xi was most afraid of thunder, he folded his arms and curled up under the eaves of Huo's house, seeing the faint flashes of lightning under the dark sky made him tremble with fear, his eyes eagerly looked towards the direction of his return, looking forward to Huo Zheng's figure.

A Lang, who was driving the cattle home before the storm, saw a person standing outside the gate of Huo's house, comforted the mooing old cow, trotted up to him, met Bai Xi's surprise eyes, he smiled innocently, showing two small eyes. Huya, "Why are you still standing here, it's going to rain heavily."

A Lang pointed at the gate, "Huo Erlang may have gone out to do some errands. Look at this day, if it rains before he returns, the eaves cannot be avoided."

Bai Xi watched him quietly, and A Lang bulged up his courage and smirked, "Then what, my house is close to here, if you don't want to go to my house to avoid the rain for a while, it's not an option to wait like this."

Bai Xi shook her head and thanked him softly, "I'm still waiting for him here, thank you."

Ah Lang came and went, seeing that Bai Xi insisted on waiting in place, and the old cow behind began to snort impatiently, so he had to lead the cow to leave, thinking about whether to send a rain gear over later.

Not long after Alang left, cool raindrops came down with the wind, and the rain washed away the soil, and the smell of the soil became stronger, and Bai Xi sneezed several times while covering his hands, the tip of his nose and eyes were red.He stared at the intersection without squinting, the thin rain woven into a dense curtain, patches of gray fog formed in his vision, and the mountains began to be lively, echoing with the chirping of birds.

Only Huo Zheng didn't come back.

Under the eaves, Bai Xi was poured into a soup rabbit by the rain, her hair was wet and sticking to her cheeks, and the parts below her legs and feet were soaked.He jumped up on the spot and rubbed his hands to keep warm. A group of dirt dogs ran wildly in the rain biting their tails. The spotted dog among them stopped suddenly. drops of water.

"Woof woof—why don't you find a place to shelter from the rain?"

Dalmatians obviously understand human nature, and it was also present when Bai Xi was in Crescent Creek that night.

Bai Xi squatted down, squinted his eyelashes to prevent the rainwater from flowing into his eyes, and whispered to it: "I'm waiting for someone."

The spotted dog flicked its tail dissatisfied, "Did you two make an appointment? Why didn't he come back on time?"

Dogs are highly loyal animals. They are punctual and trustworthy. They hate animals that don't talk much, and humans are the same.

Bai Xi said sadly: "I didn't make an agreement with him, I stayed here and didn't leave."

As soon as the trouser legs were loosened, he looked down and saw the spotted dog biting his trousers with his mouth and pulling them back and forth, "Come on, I'll take you to find a place to shelter from the rain, the rabbit is weak, if you continue to drench like this, you won't be able to survive tomorrow." It's gone!"

All dogs in the world are a family, especially those wild dogs, wild dogs, and abandoned dogs.The spotted dog remembers that day when Baixi sneaked into the doctor's house to steal medicine and rescued the wild dog that was infected with canine distemper, it said: "You are a good rabbit. Human beings are the most forgetful. We will never figure out their thoughts. Don't worry about it." I'm so stupid to wait for that person."

"But..." Bai Xi hesitated, and the Patchouli couldn't stand his twitching temper, "Oh, why don't you come with me, at worst, come and look for him when the rain stops. You're going to freeze to death."

Bai Xi and Dalmatians left, and the rain washed away his traces.

The place where we settled was the earth temple built by the villagers in the early years. Later, the Taoist fortune teller said that the geographical location of this temple was unlucky, so the villagers moved the earth temple to another place with good geomantic omen. The old temple was put aside, and because of the remoteness of the place, it was gradually forgotten by the villagers. , It has become the preferred habitat for small animals in the mountains to shelter from rain and wind.

As the night fell, the old temple looked particularly desolate and desolate in the dark, and the animals often stopped here to rest their feet. There was clean grass in the temple, and the breath of the animals floated in the air. Bai Xi sniffed their smell, When I came, my restless heart gradually calmed down.

The Dalmatians patrolled around the old temple twice, and howled at him around his legs, telling him that it was safe here and no one would find him.

"Thank you, Xiao Hua."

The spotted dog whined, moved its head under Bai Xi's palm, and motioned him to rub it.Bai Xi rubbed its head and neck for it, and the spotted dog lay down on the ground and purred comfortably, then licked Bai Xi's fingers and shook off its hair.The piebald dog is raised by the farmers, and after dark the villagers go to sleep, it has to go back to guard the gate at night.

After sending the spotted dog away, Bai Xi went back to the temple, groped for the hay bed in the dark and lay flat on it, he was hungry, so he took out the steamed bun that A Lang gave him, soaked in water, chewed softly in his mouth There is no taste in it.

His mood was unstable, and his mind was completely occupied by Huo Zheng. Even if there were delicacies in front of him at the moment, he might taste something, deserted and miserable, but one day, he missed Huo Zheng, and he was full of thoughts about him.

Huo Zheng was ruthless to him, but Bai Xi was not a heartless person.

It was he who was stupid, it was he who concealed and deceived the other party first.

In the darkness, Bai Xi blinked her bright eyes, until the wet clothes on her body were completely dry, and the sky in the distance revealed a white belly, and then she closed her eyes and rested tiredly. In the dream, Huo Zheng scolded him coldly and drove him away. picture.

When I woke up, there were tears in the corners of my eyes.Bai Xi twitched his nostrils, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, touched his head, and when he touched his hands, his hands felt soft, and his ears popped out.

It's bad.

Bai Xi tried to concentrate on recovering his ears. Seeing the sun rising, the more he wanted to go out to find Huo Zheng, the more anxious his ears became, and the drooping rabbit ears drooped listlessly in his soft hair. He had to pull, his ears were the most sensitive and easy to get hurt, he hurt himself, and his eyes were forced to hold back tears.

In the afternoon, his ears finally returned to normal. Relying on the scent left by the spotted dog yesterday, Bai Xi searched all the way back to Huo's house. As expected, he came by accident. Huo Zheng went out early in the morning, so he rushed back to the old temple in despair. , I am hungry and continue to eat buns.

Huo Zheng went out for two days this time, Bai Xi didn't know it, day after day he waited outside the door from morning till night, he didn't see him for two days, the buns that A Lang gave him had already been eaten, he was tortured both mentally and physically, his white and tender cheeks They all lost weight.

Once again, the piebald dog came to accompany him in the temple today. One person and one dog lay on the grass pole. The piebald dog told Bai Xi that his master treated him well. So nice to him.

Dalmatians felt that Bai Xi was really pitiful, two days ago it even satirized him for being a deadhead, but now it 'colluded' with him, and vowed not to give up until Huo Zheng was captured.

The spotted dog had a flash of inspiration, and excitedly yelled around him, "You said that person wants to drive you away, so you turn back into a rabbit and let him see, yes, yes, you will become a rabbit!"

The rabbit is so cute, people wouldn't have the heart to drive him away, right?But the heart is complicated, and the spotted dog is still worried and told him, "You have to be careful, if he wants to catch you and kill stew, don't be stupid and don't run away."

Bai Xi crouched in the corner and finally saw Huo Zheng that day.

He intends to carry out the idea that the spotted dog gave him, to turn back into a rabbit and use some rabbit skills to act coquettishly and cutely. As long as he is cute enough, Huo Zheng may be soft-hearted and keep him.

Dalmatians said that many people like fluffy and cute little animals, if he were an obedient rabbit, Huo Zheng would probably like him.

On the way back and forth, Huo Zheng knew that Bai Xi was following him. The person who hadn't seen him for a few days seemed to be haggard. He didn't know why Bai Xi didn't leave, but Bai Xi didn't take the initiative to talk to him, so he could only endure the inexplicable anxiety in his heart. By closing the door, she looked back at him from afar.

Bai Xi stopped in front, not approaching.

It was night, a faint candlelight was lit in the courtyard, and when the surrounding people were quiet, Bai Xi hid in a corner and turned back into a rabbit body. Under the dark, I saw a white thing bouncing and falling outside the gate of Huo's house. After shaking his ears and cleaning the fluff off his body, he quietly snuggled up by the door and silently recited Huo Zheng's name over and over again.

The author has something to say: The next day when Huo Zheng opened the door and saw the rabbit, he thought he would not eat the big meal delivered to his door for nothing. The rabbit failed to run away, so he cooked it in braised sauce. The finale...is so sad
