Ginseng disease, you

"Zhi Huan and I have fed it for a long time! It never bites."

"Oh?" Qi Shu made a suspicious voice, "Have you and Zhihuan been feeding it? Then Zhile is..."

He deliberately prolonged the sound, waiting for the little girl's answer.

The little girl—Lin Wanxi turned her face to one side, and flicked the ponytail behind her head, as if expressing her master's disdain. "Xia Zhile came here by herself! After Grandpa Huang passed away, Zhihuan and I took turns feeding Xiao Hei..."

In Lin Wanxi's words, Qi Yu and the two learned that Lin Wanxi had been feeding Xiao Hei after Uncle Huang's death more than two months ago. Not long after, she found that Xiao Hei's belly had grown and she was pregnant with a baby, so she told Xia Zhihuan, her best friend from the same class, the two little girls began to feed Xiao Hei one by one.

She also said that Xia Zhihuan liked Xiao Hei very much, especially after the puppies were born, the two were worried that the place was too dirty, and together they used their pocket money to buy Xiao Hei a new kennel.

"Zhi Huan is very kind to dogs! She spends all her pocket money on them." Lin Wanxi's eyes started to moisten when she thought of Xiao Hei being beaten to death by that bastard Xia Zhile: "Xia Zhile, a villain! Knowing love is not enough..."

Thinking that the man in front of her was not only Xia Zhihuan's cousin, but also Xia Zhile's cousin, she suddenly stopped talking.

"Zhi Le bullied Zhi Huan?" Qi Shu frowned, with just the right mix of surprise, doubt and anger when he heard his brother's bad conduct.He really looks like a good brother.

It's a pity that Qi Yu is an inexperienced little monster, unable to tell the authenticity of a man's expression.

Lin Wanxi seemed to have found an outlet for her friend, she said angrily: "Xia Zhile often takes Zhihuan's living expenses, a few times Zhihuan's meal card has lost a penny, and I bought her lunch."

"Xia Zhile beat his sister! Zhihuan's calf was kicked green!"

"Her grandma never scolded Xia Zhile when she saw it, this brat...Zhi Huan's family is too biased, patriarchal!" The girl became more and more angry, and the spiked potatoes in her hand were about to be shaken off.

Qi Yu's thoughts turned from Spike Tudou to Granny Geng.

Qi Yu thought of Granny Geng's scolding and shoving towards Xia Zhihuan, and the way she screamed her heart out when she mentioned her grandson, and felt a little sympathetic for Xia Zhihuan for a moment.

A little girl, in order to protect her younger brother, was bitten by a dog and was scolded by her patriarchal grandma. She even couldn't go to school because of her younger brother.

Really...

In fact, Qi Yu couldn't understand this patriarchal concept. After all, in the plant world, many were hermaphrodites.Like himself, he also has five stamens and one pistil at the same time.

How precious is the pistil, only one.

If it is folded, it will not bear fruit.

"Then can you take us to see Xiao Hei's puppies? Zhihuan is very worried about them." Qi Shu asked after hearing the girl's complaints, and also explained to Lin Wanxi in disguise why the two came to her.

"..." Lin Wanxi was silent for a while.

"The four puppies are gone," she said.

"Xiaowo is gone too." She suddenly raised a somewhat far-fetched smile, "Maybe they were all taken home by kind-hearted people."

Qi Yu thought of the dead bodies of the four puppies nestled deep in the ruins, so he didn't answer.He knew from the girl's far-fetched smile that she should also understand that it is unlikely that the whole litter of puppies will be taken away by kind people in less than a day.

At this moment, Qi Shu took over the words: "I hope you don't tell Zhihuan that we came to find you... She still blames herself for Xiao Hei's death, I will tell her when she is in a better mood."

Lin Wanxi nodded in agreement, and she didn't want to make her friend sad anymore.

Walking out of Yuli Lane, the aunt selling Spike potatoes was still there, so Qi Shu went over and bought a copy for Qi Yu.

He said: "Take it, I won't go back for dinner tonight."

Qi Yu asked, "Then what do you eat?"

Instead of asking why he didn't go back to eat, he was concerned about what he had for dinner.

Even though Qi Shu has cultivated a heart completely different from his appearance in the haunted world, at this moment he is still moved by the monster's undisguised concern.

Qi Shu didn't answer, and Qi Yu didn't ask anymore, he stuck a piece of potato with a toothpick and handed it to Qi Shu's mouth: "Ah~"

The two walked slowly down the street. Qi Yu had already finished eating the Spike potatoes in his hand. He was so focused on eating that he realized that his hands were stained with red oil.

How about quietly licking?

Before he could take action, Qi Shu grabbed his right hand.

While taking out a tissue from his bag and carefully wiping the oil off Qi Yu's hands, he said to Qi Yu, "Don't lick your hands."

Qi Yu liked the look on Qi Shu's face when he wiped it for him.

very gentle.

It seems to be the same as usual, and it seems to be different from usual.

"Where are we going?" Qi Yu asked, his hand was still in Qi Shu's, the two were so close that Qi Yu could even feel Qi Shu's breath.

He didn't retreat but advanced, the tip of his nose almost touched Qi Shu's face, he took a deep breath, he remembered the slightly damp and slightly cold earth he breathed when he got out of the ground after the first spring rain in Changxing Mountain He seemed to be able to feel the joy rushing in every branch and leaf of him—like all plants—waiting for spring rain, sunshine, and growth.

The smell of revival.

Qi Shu subconsciously wanted to avoid the overly intimate movements of others, but Qi Yu had already grabbed him with his backhand.

Qi Yu put his arms around Qi Shu's waist and pressed him against him.

He buried his head deeply in Qi Shu's hair, sniffing deeply, all the way down, as if he was looking for something.

Qi Shu has already froze, he rarely has too much physical contact with people.

Qi Yu's breath had reached his neck.

The hot and humid breath stimulated his Adam's apple to roll twice, he woke up, and suddenly pushed away Qi Yu who was hugging him.

Before he could open his mouth to reprimand Qi Yu, Qi Yu had already smiled, revealing a small canine tooth.

"You smell so good!"

The young man's voice was clear, as refreshing and sunny as his smile.

Such clear, happy, and unclouded eyes again.

He said something he didn't know.

Qi Shu secretly hated the influence of youth on him.

But he couldn't say a word of accusation, he just turned his head too far.

"You can't cuddle in the street."

He walked away quickly, and his voice drifted into Qi Yu's ears with the evening wind.

Is that all right at home?

Qi Yu scratched his hair suspiciously from behind.

Not long after he left, Qi Shu regained his composure, and said to Qi Yu, "Let's go find Xia Zhihuan."

This was answering Qi Yu's question just now.

As if remembering something, Qi Yuqi and Ai Ai said to Qi Shu: "Lin Wanxi doesn't seem to know that Xia Zhihuan was also bitten by Xiao Hei... She didn't even ask about the injury."

Although Qi Yu had never seen a sinister heart, he was not a fool either.

But he didn't want to think so badly of that timid and quiet little girl.

"If..." He didn't continue.

Qi Shu smiled in his heart, if anything.

The four puppies couldn't even open their eyes, how could they leave the den and run into the ruins by themselves.

Obviously, the puppies were deliberately moved to the ruins, and the litter was thrown away to give the illusion that they were all taken away.

It could only be done by Xia Zhihuan.

From the mouths of Da Niang and Lin Wanxi, Xiao Hei is very gentle and human.

Xia Zhihuan had taken care of Xiao Hei, so it is reasonable to say that she would not hurt her, but she was the one who hurt the most when the two children came back that day.

According to Mrs. Xia—or what Xia Zhihuan told Mrs. Xia—it was Xia Zhihuan who wanted to protect Xia Zhile, but it was more likely that Xia Zhihuan was the main target of the black dog.

As for why Xia Zhile was unconscious...

Qi Shu withdrew his thoughts, he would not know until he asked Xia Zhihuan.

When they came to the Xia Mansion, Xia Zhihuan opened the door to welcome the two of them in. She was wearing a light blue cotton dress that reached her ankles, an apron, and a pink ribbon tied around her neck.

"Mom is out." She smiled at the two shyly, wiped her hands on the apron, and without waiting for Granny Geng's instructions, she sneaked into the kitchen and made two cups of tea.

Granny Geng murmured and said something, turned around and said to Qi Shu Qiyu, "Please save my good grandson, two masters!" Whenever her grandson was mentioned, Granny Geng's wrinkled face twitched. Crawled with concern, heartbreak and anxiety.

It was completely different from when Xia Zhihuan was mentioned.

Before Granny Geng started crying, Qi Shu said to her: "This time I came here to find out more about the situation at that time with Xia Zhihuan. If you allow, we would like to talk to her alone."

"What are you talking to this girl?" Granny Geng was taken aback, and her eyelids, which were usually drooping to cover her eyes, suddenly lifted up, revealing those shining eyes. "Is she hiding something from us? This stinky girl..."

Qi Yu, who was sitting on the side, took the words: "No, mother-in-law, we think talking alone might remind her of some details and wake Xia Zhile up."

The old lady immediately agreed when she heard the words, and she quickly asked the two to wait in the study on the third floor.

In the study, Qi Yu said to Qi Shu: "This mother-in-law is too partial, why does she always feel that her granddaughter is going to harm her grandson?"

Qi Shu glanced at him upon hearing this, and replied meaningfully: "Maybe he did something."

Before Qi Yu could speak, there was a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was very soft, as if conveying the little girl's uneasy mood.

Xia Zhihuan came up with a tea tray, she was young but already very good at handling things, not only made two cups of tea, but also cut watermelon.She cut the watermelon into small pieces and piled them in the crystal fruit bowl, with two small silver forks on the side of the fruit plate.

She put the tea tray on the table, then stepped back and sat down on the single sofa, with her head bowed but her back straight, her hands resting on her knees, waiting for them to speak.

"You don't need to be too nervous, we just want to know what happened that day." Qi Yu said, in order to appease the girl's nervousness, he ate a piece of watermelon and said, "This watermelon is so sweet! You can eat it too."

The girl waved her hands again and again and said, "I ate it below, and it was specially cut for the master." A cute smile appeared on her face, and she explained in a soft voice.

Seeing that she was not so nervous, Qi Shu smiled and said, "Then can you tell us carefully about the accident that happened that day?"

"My brother and I came home from school that day, and he..." The girl glanced at the two of them and continued, "He wanted to see Xiao Hei. There were other puppies, so I took him there. But I didn't expect him to want to see Xiao Hei. Take one and go."

"I stopped him, he, he hit me." She choked up, "Xiao Hei thought he was going to snatch the child, so he rushed up. My brother was frightened, and the puppy fell to the ground and... moved a few times Just, just died."

"Xiao Hei went crazy and started to rush at us. I was terrified, and my brother and I started running..." Xia Zhihuan seemed to be immersed in the scene at that time. She blamed herself and was afraid at the same time. Her eyes were red.

"Xiao Hei started to bite my younger brother. I had no choice but to kick Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei turned around and bit me. He is usually very obedient...but he hates us to death."

"In order to save me, my younger brother hit Xiao Hei on the head with a stone." Her eyes were fixed, and her body began to tremble: "After a few blows, Xiao Hei fell down. The blood kept flowing, and his feet were still twitching. , eyes fixed on us."

"Brother, Xiao Hei must have come to find me like this... It's my fault, I shouldn't have taken my brother to see Xiao Hei, so that the pup won't die, Xiao Hei won't die, and my brother won't die either. ..."

Qi Yu's heart was very heavy, he vaguely knew that Xia Zhihuan had done...something bad.

But seeing the girl in front of him crying with her nose flushed, he felt sympathetic.

The watermelon in my mouth is not so sweet anymore.

Qi Shu leaned forward slightly to maintain a listening posture, and sighed sympathetically and regretfully from his mouth at the right time.

But if anyone saw his eyes, they would know that this gentle-looking man was unmoved by Xia Zhihuan's tears.In his eyes, there is calmness and self-restraint that understands everything, and even a sarcasm that is used to seeing all kinds of things in the world.

Amid Xia Zhihuan's sobs, Qi Shu said, "Do you know where the remaining puppies are?"

He observed the girl's expression deeply, and continued, "Finding other puppies can help eliminate Xiao Hei's resentment."

Xia Zhihuan lowered her head, as if her slender neck could not support the weight of her head, revealing a section of shiny skin.

"The puppies are still next to Grandpa Huang's house, and my friend will take care of them."

Qi Shu paused and said: "I said, it's the fifth one."

The author has something to say:

Qi Yu (righteous): You can lick the lid after eating yogurt, you can lick your fingers after eating Miao crispy corners, why can't you eat Spike potatoes?

Qi Shu (speechless): You are not allowed to eat Miao Crispy Jiao anymore.

Qi Yu (poor, weak, but edible): Huh.
