Lost in the world

The first cat that is as free as the wind has not returned home for two nights

Li couldn't eat and couldn't swallow, and he didn't have the heart to do his winter homework, so he moved a small bench and sat at the door to wait.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ling Xiao, who enjoyed eating melon seeds and oranges, persuaded earnestly: "Don't wait, the civet cat has a wild temper. It runs out every two days like the wind. When it gets bigger, it will become an outsider." The stray cat never comes home again. You have to get used to it. If you like cats, I’ll buy you a Braddol, a quiet and beautiful fairy cat. It’s very clingy and won’t run around.”

Li Ting puffed his cheeks, unwilling to listen.

Then his eyes lit up the next moment.Ling Xiao also let out a soft "Huh~" because he saw the raccoon cat walking under Li Ting's crotch with easy and joyful small steps as usual, jumping onto the table, still twisting the thing in its mouth. The struggling little gray mouse put it in the fruit bowl, pressed it with its paws, "click—" the little mouse stopped moving.

Ling Xiao: "...?!!!!"

There seems to be a cold chill around the neck

The first cat looked up at the three people who were stunned, and called "Meow~" twice.

Xiaoyu couldn't help touching her neck and said, "Is this a special product brought to us on a long trip? I don't want to eat it."

Ling Xiao: "I won't eat either!"

Ling Xiao wanted to touch No. [-] Cat Gaogui's head with itchy hands, and he taught him a lesson as he approached, "Xiaobai, you can go out if you like. Even if you use this place as a hotel, you have to come back occasionally to have a look."

As soon as the hand was stretched out, the first cat jumped up suddenly as if stimulated, jumped off the table and went straight to the door, Xiaoyu yelled in fright: "Close the door and close the door—don't let it run away! Let it go, It really becomes a stray cat that is as free as the wind~!"

Just at this time Su Changqing walked in, and Li Ting stopped closing the door.It was too late to say it, and then it was too fast, Mao Ying, who was as fast as the wind, "swish" against the door and was about to jump out.

Su Changqing, who was holding the pickle jar with both hands, only caught a glimpse of a furry figure flying over, and thought: What is it?Lift your foot, step on it... the whole world suddenly became quiet.Ling Xiao, Xiaoyu, and Li Ting looked messy, as if they had seen something extraordinary, but the well-informed Ling Xiao was the first to react, and applauded: "What level of reaction speed is this~"

"This is, meow?!" Putting the pickle jar on the ground, Su Changqing bent down and grabbed the first cat by the neck, and brought it closer. With the other hand, he rubbed its round and furry head vigorously, and even squeezed it a few times. root hair.

The first cat's hair exploded all over, but its throat was strangled by the hand of fate, and it failed to break free. A humming and heavy growl gradually escaped from its throat.Finnis, who came out of the kitchen, glanced sideways, and it turned out to be slowly sluggish, looking slumped and unhappy.

"Brother, you are amazing! I'm going to get the rope."

Phoenix glanced at the first cat who was suddenly quiet, and said flatly, "No need."

"Then what if it runs away again?"

Su Changqing continued: "Run away, the world outside is so big, if it were me, I would also like to come and go freely in the colorful world. You and Li Ting were also picked up by me. After waiting for eight years and ten years Years, 20 years, you have to leave, right?"

The first cat was thrown in the pram and kept company with the younger sister.

Xiaoyu was confused when he heard this: "Brother, are you going to drive me and my little brother away?"

Su Changqing was helpless: "No one will drive you away. I mean, in the future, when you get married, you can't stay here as an old man with me."

phoenix sideways

He added: "Two old people."

Only when Phoenix was satisfied, he moved the pickle jar into Xiaoyu's suitcase.

Xiaoyu screamed again and again: "Oh my god~ it's so heavy!!—Why is there still a pack of salted duck eggs? Who put it in and when!!"

"Take it back to give your sister-in-law something to eat. If it's Chinese New Year, you can spend a few more days with her this time, so you don't have to come back in a hurry."

Seeing Su Changqing's preparations with all his heart, Xiaoyu dared to be disobedient, so he nodded obediently: "Oh~"

It's not only Xiaoyu who is ready to move, but also Ling Xiao who is full of worries and doesn't know who to tell.Ling Xiao thought about going back to see the old man during the Chinese New Year. Of course, this was just a whim when he was bored, and he hadn't put it into action yet. Unexpectedly, when he returned to his room after dinner, he saw a big box at the door.

Su Changqing's expression was a little smug, a little complacent: "It contains my homemade chili sauce, canned fruit, asparagus candy, and pickled vinegar and garlic. I have spent a lot of effort on these, so you can take them back and give Lingtang a taste. By the way, say hello to my uncle. Uncle is not young, so hurry up and take a few more glances now, in a few years he will be gone, and you won’t be able to see even if you want to.”

Ling Xiao immediately smacked his lips, dissatisfied: "Su Changqing, you are cursing people!"

"Fool, I'm envious of you."

As soon as the word "envy" came out, Ling Xiao was speechless.

He has also heard a little about Su Changqing's miserable experience. A young man loses his father, a young man loses his mother and brother, like a lone star from the sky, killing his relatives and almost killing himself. Such people say "envy", Ling Xiao It's really hard to talk back for a while.

...Forget it, compromise once, just this time.

Ling Xiao picked up the suitcase: This is filled with several pickle jars, this time~ it's so heavy!

……

After sending Ling Xiao and Xiaoyu away, Li Ting went to Bai Qingming's house to make up lessons, and the family immediately became quiet.Finnis enjoys the rare two-person world, tossing and tossing late at night, getting up in the morning to have another | hair, day |

On this day, Su Changqing woke up early and was pushed down when he was about to get up. He struggled: "Not today, we have guests."

So throughout the morning, Finnis, who was dissatisfied with desire and extremely depressed, nestled on the sofa and bit an apple. At noon, an uninvited guest came to the door and asked:

"Is Su Changqing at home?"

Phoenix raised his head indifferently, and said, "What's your name?"

"Uh..." Seemingly not easy to get along with, the baby who came from the countryside to the city introduced himself with a kind smile on his face, "My name is Gu Mancang, and I am Su Changqing's junior. At home, I won't bother you for a long time...it should be. Are you a friend of the senior?"

Phoenix looked numb: "You go to sleep in the bridge hole."

"what????"

"You are not welcome here"

"What????" Gu Mancang poked his ear, he heard right, "You drove me away?! Why, I clearly said hello in advance, and the senior also agreed. If you don't believe me, I will Call and confirm with the senior!"

"No need," Phoenix waved his hand, and the light spots flying in the sun seemed to be gradually dissipating, "If Su Changqing knows that I drive you away, he will be angry with me, so you can stay."

Gu Mancang: ...What's wrong with this person?

Fennis sat on the sofa in the attitude of a hostess, with cold eyes, looking at Gu Mancang as if looking at a puddle of mud that could not support the wall, and asked, "Do you know where Su Changqing went?"

Gu Mancang is an honest boy: "Well, I should go to other seniors to borrow money."

"Borrow money?" Phoenix couldn't help being taken aback

He also said: "Because the senior asked me to borrow it, but I have no money. My salary card is in the hands of Mr. Yaoguang. I only have five yuan of pocket money every day, and I can't even live in the cheapest hotel. I bought some private money, but it is my lifeblood, and I must not touch it until the moment of life and death."

And Phoenix seemed to realize Su Changqing's "poverty" only now, and noticed a key word that he had never heard of before: "Private money?"

"No, that's what I saved by saving [-] cents!" Gu Mancang was startled with guilt, "I have to hand over all my income, and if I don't hide any private money, I won't let it go." I'm alive! You know, it costs more than [-] yuan to buy a pack of cigarettes now."

"Master Yaoguang is your...?"

"My wife!" Gu Mancang patted his chest proudly, "It took me a lot of effort to catch her up. My lord is the most beautiful person in the world, and I like him the most."

Isn't that similar to him and Su Changqing? Phoenix couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "Have you handed over all your money to her?"

"Of course! I respect and admire my lord, and I wish I could hold the most beautiful things in the world in front of him. What does a mere salary card count?" Gu Mancang snorted, "Private money doesn't count! Not only me, but many uncles I know You also secretly hid your private money. Private money means that people all over the world can know that you have hidden money, except your wife.”

Phoenix's dark pupils slowly widened, reflecting frivolous light: So, this is private money~

The most conspicuous place in the living room is a stone blue peach vase, Su Changqing takes care of it every day, and loves it, and every time he comes back from the vegetable market, he will put a few one-yuan coins into the peach vase, or secretly, so that they don't see it .

Phoenix has never understood why he did this. Although he wanted to ask, Su Changqing didn't seem to want to let other people know about it. It wasn't until now that he realized something: So, is that hiding money~

At the same time, Su Changqing was eating barbecue at Qin Ge's house, talking about it, and for some reason, he also brought up the topic of "private money".

Singer Qin pinched Wei Ziqi's salary card: "I didn't want it, he insisted on giving it to me, I don't understand what it means, do I look poor?"

"No no no no——" Nan Guo waved his hands again and again, took a bite of the crispy, milky steamed buns, leaned on Su Changqing's shoulder, and said sweetly and enviously, "You definitely don't look poor. You look like The salary card is actually Wei Ziqi's sincere heart. I thought he was stupid enough, but I didn't expect that this matter was not bad. I was miserable. I have no wife, no house, no car, and I am still A single dog of the Moonlight tribe, that Chen Yinghe borrowed money from me a few days ago, and that wife was so strict that she didn’t even dare to hide her private money, heck, he’s even worse than the head of the dormitory, I don’t want to laugh at him.”

Su Changqing was helpless: "Chen Yinghe is much better than me, right? I have a wife and children. Is it not me who is the worst? I am unemployed at home and have a baby who is waiting to be fed. By the way, you know Chen Yinghe very well?"

Chen Yinghe was his comrade-in-arms who went through life and death

Nan Guo immediately "haha" laughed a few times in embarrassment: "Generally, the friendship is very ordinary. The ones who have the deepest friendship are you guys~ Speaking of money, isn't Shen Dashen the richest person here, who comes from a famous family, and there is an Italian mafia Covered by the party, it looks like a crab and walks sideways wherever it goes!" Trying to get away with it

Shen Tu's sharp and handsome eyebrows frowned, and said: "I don't know how much money I have, anyway, when I spend it, Ya Lian also gave me a few bank cards, he gave it on his own initiative, saying that he would deposit it with me, waiting for the opportunity I'll give it back to him when I get there. But it's been five years, and I feel like he's forgotten about it."

"Shen Dashen, wow~ You are indeed Shen Dashen. If you don't make a move, you will be fine. Once you make a move, you will pinch that stinky boy Ya Lian with high eyes. I really admire you more and more!" Nan Guo exaggerated He clasped his fists to express his admiration.

Su Changqing looked at Qin Ge from the left and Shen Tu from the right, and couldn't help but slowly fell into deep thought...

The grilling plate gradually became empty, and Su Changqing grilled more. When he came home at noon, he saw Gu Mancang sitting on the top of the wall whistling to tease sparrows, and under the wall was Phoenix, who was thinking with his head down.

He was overjoyed and said, "I'm back!"

Phoenix raised his head in response, with obvious panic on his face, and he stammered: "... Well, you are back, what did you bring back, it smells so good~"

It's like doing something bad and not daring to see people

Su Changqing was dumbfounded: "..."

After dinner, Gu Mancang volunteered to wash the dishes, and then saw the two whispering and went upstairs together, holding up the rag in a daze: "I suspect these two people..."

After closing the door and going to bed, the two people who had their own concerns seemed a little dull in the same bed, Su Changqing smacked his lips, turned over, stared at the messy back of Phoenix's head, and asked tentatively: "Mozhi, I have something to ask you, that is , I suddenly thought of it, it doesn't matter if you don't answer."

Phoenix froze, then turned to Su Changqing, his face was pale, and he nodded: "...you ask."

Su Changqing plucked up his courage: "Do you think between husband and wife... well, should the salary card be handed in?"

The description of "husband and wife" doesn't seem right, but he can't care so much anymore.

Phoenix's pale cheeks were turning black, and he forgot to answer for a while.

Su Changqing added: "Because all my friends handed in their salary cards, I thought, um, I'll ask you what you mean."

Finnis nodded awkwardly: "Should."

"What about the private money, shouldn't it?"

Private money? Phoenix shook his head: "It shouldn't be."

Although Gu Mancang said: Private money means that people all over the world can know that you have hidden money, except your wife.But he still didn't want to hide something from Su Changqing. From this point of view, did he really have to confess... Phoenix hesitated.

At this time, Su Changqing got out of bed silently, took out a bank card from the interlayer of the drawer, then held it up with both hands, and handed it to Phoenix.

Phoenix was taken aback: "This is...?"

What do you mean--

"The army pays this card. In fact, I have an income. I lied. I'm sorry." Su Changqing mustered up his courage, confessed frankly, and deeply reflected, staring at Phoenix's face sincerely, "This is my All the money is gone, I swear, I did not hide any private money, I am innocent."

Acknowledging mistakes can make a big difference, good and good.

Phoenix: "..."

...There is indeed something wrong.There are so many things that are wrong, and Phoenix doesn't know where to start if he wants to pick a mistake.

At the same time, downstairs, Gu Mancang was sitting on the sofa eating snow rice cakes with a "crack bang bang bang" while holding a mobile phone and talking on the phone:

"Yeah, I've already arrived at the hotel. The environment is pretty good. It costs more than 300 yuan a day. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, it's very convenient to buy instant noodles in a nearby supermarket. The hotel also provides hot water. I still have some on hand. For a little money, one or two days is enough... If you stay for ten days and a half months, it may really be too much. It's okay, sir, thank you, sir!"

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly jumped up:

"Oh yeah! There's money to buy hands again!"

Outside the window, the white broken light that does not belong to the night floats in the air, as if it is blocked by an invisible barrier, and if it approaches recklessly, it will die like a moth flying into a flame.

Gu Mancang witnessed several rare "figures" trying to break through the barrier, but was burned to ashes by the rumored fire of the red lotus. He really didn't leave any souls behind, so he was naturally unhappy.

"Phoenix, the phoenix, is such an incredible character! Forget it, I don't care about him for the sake of the head of the dormitory. Next, how can I trick him into attacking me, but the head of the dormitory is such a shrewd person, If he finds out..."

The smell of barbecue sauce still lingered in his mouth, the dormitory head's craftsmanship really could win people's hearts, no wonder Nan Guo, Shen Tu, Qin Ge and those few sneaky charms fell in love with him.If Su Changqing was accidentally offended, Gu Mancang thought dejectedly:

"It will become the target of public criticism..."
