[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

It was cold winter, and it was New Year's Eve, so the zoo seemed very deserted.On the one hand, there are not many tourists who come to the zoo with the intention of returning to their hometowns and shopping for new year’s goods. On the other hand, half of the members of the zoo are very unique regional animals, which are not suitable for the local climate. The air conditioners are either hibernating, and they are all listless, and they are not in the mood to show off their cuteness.

Cang Ming didn’t go home for the Chinese New Year, and didn’t plan to make any New Year’s activities to attract tourists, so he gave everyone a winter vacation very straightforwardly, and even gave out red envelopes thoughtfully.

With the red envelope in her mouth, Shen Xi happily scraped open the small grass nest where she usually sleeps, and then used her claws to dig the floor tiles.

"Save it and save it~~~"

The little rabbit carefully counted the coins and banknotes pressed under the floor tiles, shook its ears, opened the red envelope, put the money inside together, and covered the floor tiles again, patting it a few times with its little white fluffy paws .

"If you save up for a while, you can buy a whole set of Yichen Zichuan~"

The seventh day of the seventh day is very sad, Miss Xi is saving money to buy 18r, will he tell the master or not?

I told, Miss Xi was unhappy, and if I didn't tell, it would be remiss of duty.

Speaking of dereliction of duty, Chu Qi remembered the original purpose of being hired to follow Little Velvet Rabbit. After so long, the owner was so worried that he hadn't found out what happened in the dark. It's not enough to remedy it even if I regret it.

"Hey, it's snowing outside!"

Suddenly hearing Shen Xi's exclamation, Chu Qi involuntarily turned his head. It turned out that snowflakes had fallen outside at some point, covering the open-air part of the venue with a layer of white.The little plush rabbit jumped onto the window sill, leaning against the window and looking out, its fine white fluff almost blending with the scenery outside.

Chu Qi moved her front paws subconsciously, and then quickly restrained the idea of ​​stretching out her paws to rub the hairball.

Seeing a round, fluffy and moving cute dumpling dangles in front of the eyes, it makes my heart itch but I can't play with it, it is really an unspeakable torment for cat people.

However, the overwhelming whiteness gave the black cat an inspiration. It was completely white outside at the moment, and the blackness could easily reveal its feet no matter if it was stalking or making small moves. As long as it was careful, it would definitely show its true colors.

"On the seventh day of the seventh day, the snow will be thick on the ground in a while, let's go out to play in the snow!" Shen Xi jumped off the window sill and said cheerfully, with a look of eagerness to try.

"It's too cold in a snowy day, in case Miss Xi gets sick from the cold..." Chu Qi reflexed that something was wrong.

Shen Xi scratched his tail with her paw: "Sister Cangming made me a little padded jacket last year, it's thick and warm, and it's specially prepared for snowy days!"

That's what I said, but when Cang Ming came to dress up Shen Xi in the afternoon with a little padded jacket with pink and white carrot prints, he was dumbfounded to find that the little rabbit couldn't wear it anymore.

"Xiaoxi has gained weight recently..."

Cangming smiled and rubbed the little plush rabbit's head, "Don't cry, don't cry, sister will make you new clothes~"

Hearing this, Chu Qi couldn't help but take a look at the soft and round ball of hair buried in Cangming's arms.

It shouldn't be a big problem to play secretly, without letting the owner find out, and find a chance to play, right?Anyway, Miss Xi is easy to talk...

The little plush rabbit who was crawling around in Cangming's arms, rubbing his chest and begging to be stroked, suddenly shuddered, thinking that before the new clothes were ready, it would be better for him to tuck himself into a carrot-print padded jacket... Even if stuffed If you don't go in, it's good to cover your paws.

Shen Xi didn't have to wait long, and the new little padded jacket was ready the next day. It was a beige-colored cherry print and a hooded style. Not only was it more beautiful, but it could also cover the long ears so as not to be exposed to the cold.

So the little rabbit didn't hesitate to take the old padded jacket to make a nest.

Although the clothes are not as good as the new ones, Chu Qi suddenly felt a little suspenseful while watching the little rabbit's turning speed and attitude towards the old clothes.

Miss Xi really likes the new and dislikes the old...

He felt that once the darkness problem was solved, the little rabbit would forget him and go to Java within a week after leaving the zoo.

Shen Xi didn't notice the black cat's brain hole at all, put on new clothes and came back from a walk with satisfaction, and then clamored to go out to play in the snow.

The white peacock, who was blowing on the heater and pretending to be dead, has always been obedient to his younger sister. Last year, he also saw a little rabbit wrapped in a cotton jacket and rolling a snowball. Negligence, thinking about it, is also worrying about the dark problem.

Although the residents of the zoo cannot be said to be all-encompassing, at least they are representative of the corresponding regions at various latitudes. Since there are animals like the white peacock kangaroo snake that are afraid of low temperatures, there are naturally species that are very adaptable to severe cold - for example, the colder the weather, the more energetic it is. The Samoyed dog, the entire enclosure over the Insectarium, and other creatures that are almost distributed on the land of the world are alive and kicking.

Like a cat and a rabbit who are photographing a snowman in the snow.

Immediately afterwards, a group of canine creatures also joined in, smashing out various animal-shaped depressions in the flat snow.

"Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, let's snowball!"

Li Goudan suggested with his tongue out, his black eyes gleaming with excitement, and his smile was quite silly.

The little plush rabbit who was named quickly hid under Chu Qi's belly: "Go away, I won't play with you!"

The so-called Shen Xi's snowball is to make the little rabbit into a ball and let Li Goudan push it back and forth to stick to the snow layer by layer, and finally it becomes a big snowball...

Le Wuyi couldn't help but sweat the Samoyed dog, if Shen Ye knew that you played with his sister like this, shaving and skinning would be easy.As the first brave man to play bunny ball, the Golden Retriever has experienced the degree of sister control of the white peacock earlier than other members of the zoo.

Just as he was thinking here, the little plush rabbit had already made a small snowball under the cover of Chu Qi's body, then lifted his forelimbs vigorously, and threw it at Li Goudan.

The Samoyed dog took a mouthful of snow cubes unpreparedly.

At the beginning, it was just cats and rabbits teaming up to bully Samoyeds, but as the scope of the spread expanded, Le Wuyi also got hit. His head was covered in broken snow and shook for a long time, and a small part of it melted into water and seeped into the fluff, freezing to death, so the golden retriever The dogs also entered the fight.

Wen Renyu was almost desperate, not to mention the age, just the two of you with your body type, you absolutely bullied the little by the big and didn't run away... Don't be ashamed!

Before Miss Su Mu could turn her complaints into roars, a snowball flew from nowhere and hit her head and face.

"—Le! Nothing! Different!"

Xie Yi, who was passing by, heard the lively voices below the hillside, and raised his head curiously to take a look.

Brother was bullied by Li Goudan?Is this worth it? !

Fried Mao's crisp noodles turned back and pulled Xie Yan to help out, entering the battle aggressively.

In the end, the seven small animals who participated in the snowball fight were all hit with a bag on their heads. After being lectured one by one, they were given cold medicine before they were sent back to their respective homes.

People like Shen Xi, who are under the supervision of their parents, will naturally be scolded again after they go back and take off their wet clothes, take a shower and dry their hair.

Although the little rabbit can solve the problem by staring at his brother with tears in his eyes for a while, it is a fact that he makes his parents angry.

The little rabbit was so sad that he wanted to roll on the ground again.

"Miss Xi, it's cold on the ground, you'll catch a cold." Chu Qi dutifully tried to persuade a certain wayward little animal.

Shen Xi gave him a gloomy look, buried her head in her belly, and continued to roll.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, the black cat resolutely lay down flat, revealing its fluffy belly.

"...Chu Qi what are you doing? Do you want to roll too?" The little rabbit stopped and looked up at Chu Qi.

"It's too cold on the ground, this subordinate dares to ask Miss Xi to roll on top of this subordinate."

Shen Xi blinked her eyes: "Sister Cangming just said that I gained weight and would crush you..."

"To my subordinates, Miss Xi is not important."

"But you also said just now that the ground is cold," said the little rabbit, tilting his head, "then won't you catch a cold if you lie on the ground?"

"Miss Xi, don't worry, my subordinates are exercising every day, and this temperature will not cause frostbite."

Chu Qi was convinced that Miss Xi was caring about him, but she didn't know that the gently wagging tail had already betrayed his inner joy—even though Shen Xi didn't notice.

"Then I'm welcome!"

While speaking, the little rabbit kicked its hind legs, and jumped onto Chu Qi's stomach, rolling back and forth.

"Chuqi, your stomach is so soft and fluffy!"

The black cat pretended to be calm and wagged its tail: "As long as Miss Xi likes it."

As for things like being rubbed by little rabbits and getting hot... Chu Qi felt that it was time to test his patience.

It gets dark early now, but the time for dinner is not advanced, so it creates the illusion that this meal is later than other seasons.

However, Shen Xi didn't show up even for the dinner that felt a lot late.The white peacock was very disturbed, for fear that he would hurt his sister's heart by talking too loudly at noon.

Just thinking about it, when I looked up, I found that the breeder who went to find the little rabbit had already returned, saying that Shen Xi was probably tired from playing in the afternoon, and he still hasn't woken up yet.

The breeder was relieved to see the white peacock pacing around to visit the little rabbit, but he didn't notice the look on his face, and then secretly called Cangming to report what happened just now.

"Eh, it's already afternoon..." Cangming raised his voice in surprise, "Then I'll go and see later, and by the way, ask if there is any doctor on duty in the treatment center today, and if so, let the doctor go too."

After explaining a few bits and pieces, Cang Ming hung up the phone, recalling Shen Ye's hysteria a few days ago, and suddenly felt that the white peacock was still forward-looking.

I just don't know if cats and rabbits can really give birth to cubs.

Thinking of a fluffy and round dumpling that combines the cuteness of cats and rabbits, Cang Ming is also looking forward to it.

When the head of the garden came back from a trip, he brought a big pet cage and took two big and small fur balls, one black and one white, home for the New Year.

Looking at the appearance of the little rabbits, they seem to have no idea about these things. They are still playing with Chu Qi's tail as usual, huddled together, and talking in a language that Cang Ming doesn't understand.

"Chuqi, you hurt me earlier!"

"This...my subordinate Miss Tong Xi is slightly different in size..."

"Then I will eat more to gain weight in the future!"

"Yes, Miss Du Yixi."
