white sparrow

After being injured for a hundred days, although Lu Linan only had a slight bone fracture, he still had to use a cane when school started, and friends and friends came to laugh at him, "Brother An, we found that you seem to be extraordinarily thin-skinned and tender."He was so annoyed that he took away all the onlookers with his cane.

It's inconvenient to do anything, the only advantage may be that after school, he turned into a white sparrow and came to him on his own initiative, because he couldn't ride a bicycle anymore, so the two of them could only dally along the street at a slow speed, and returned home. The time at home has more than doubled.

"You are so heavy, can you walk by yourself?" Bai Que felt that as soon as he pampered Lu Linan, the other party tried every means to push his nose on his face, and insisted on carrying him to walk even though he didn't need a cane anymore.

"The leg hurts." Lu Linan continued to hang on the white bird with a playful smile, but he still took back some of the strength that was pressing on the white bird.

"Are you lying? Does the plaster still hurt after the plaster is removed?" Of course Bai Que could see that Lu Lin'an was lying, gave him a supercilious look, and carried him back as if resigned to his fate.

Fortunately, they didn't go far, and the two conjoined twins were called to stop.

"White sparrow, Lin An."

"Mother?"

"Aunt Bai?"

Sitting in Aunt Bai's car well-behaved, the lady in the driver's seat was sitting upright, wearing smart overalls, and her gestures exuded a mature, elegant but tired charm. This was the first time Lu Linan met Bai on the way after school. Auntie, she has never picked up a white sparrow from school. After all, besides working at school, she also has a part-time job as a piano teacher.This is a very strong woman. After getting a job, she never received help from Mama Lin. She even insisted on paying rent to Mama Lin every month.

Think about it, Bai Que's stubbornness is exactly the same as hers.

"Mom, are you off work? I thought you were going to the piano store tonight."

"Go later, because you have been coming home late from school these days, so I will pick you up on the way, so as not to cause any accidents on the way, is it because Lin An's legs are not in good condition? I wasted time on the way " Auntie Bai's voice is always gentle, but it also has a toughness that cannot be refuted.

"Mom, Lu Lin'an..." Sensing the hint of complaint, Bai Que wanted to say something, but Aunt Bai still changed the subject.

"You're in high school, you're nervous about your studies, and you're going to have a training camp in your second year of high school. The culture class is up to now. I'm also worried about your playfulness. Mom is usually too busy and doesn't have time to take care of you. It depends on your own self-consciousness. Thinking about it, I'm sorry. your."

"Aunt Bai, I just have a slight bone fracture. I should go to the hospital for a reexamination tomorrow. There should be no problem." Lu Lin'an is not a fool. He heard that there was something in Aunt Bai's words, so he thought about his situation and said it for the better.

"That's good. Lin An is also a good boy. Auntie grew up watching him grow up. Thank you for taking care of the white bird for Auntie." Her tone softened, and she turned her head slightly to thank Lu Linan.

"It's okay, Aunt Bai, we all like Baique."

After sending the two children to the gate of the yard, Aunt Bai had to rush to the piano store. Lu Linan sent Bai Que home, and when Bai Que said sorry to him softly, he rubbed his curly hair, telling him not to think too much .

The dinner didn't taste good, so Lu Lin'an casually took a few mouthfuls and threw himself into bed for a nap. The younger sister who was sleeping beside her heard the movement, stretched her waist, and stepped lightly on Lu Lin'an's chest with light catwalks.

The younger sister’s original name is not younger sister, but everyone in the family likes younger sister, and the younger sister calls her, so I can’t remember her original name in the end. She is Lu Lin’an’s first birthday present. In fact, Lin’s mother wanted to raise a cat. I just found an excuse and took a three-colored cat home that had just been weaned. It is already fifteen years old. According to human age, I am already an octogenarian. I am not as lively as before, but today I am very clingy. , Rubbing around Lu Lin'an, it may be that Lu Lin'an is in a low mood.

"Our sister is really painful." Lu Linan's heart softened after being rubbed, he picked up Sanhuamao and pinched her meat pad, and gently rubbed her chin as she wanted, which made his sister very satisfied. Smash it, smash your mouth and continue to sleep late.

Early on Saturday morning, Lu Lin'an went to the hospital for reexamination. His leg was fine. The doctor told him to go back and eat more high-protein foods. This matter finally came to an end.

On the way home, Mother Lin deliberately drove to the vegetable market, bought a large piece of ribs, and asked Lu Linan to call Bai Que over for lunch. Aunt Bai went to the piano store, and Bai Que was probably alone at home again. Eat cold rice.

"Then buy some cherries, the birds like to eat them."

"I don't know if there is any in this season."

"Cherries are available in any season."

The mother and son got all their things out of the car, Lu Linan went to the next door to pick up the white bird, and pushed open the door, but saw Lin's mother lying on the ground and lifted the dust cover of the sofa. After Lu Linan Baique came back, she panicked. Standing up hastily, he tugged at Lu Linan's cuff and said, "My sister is gone! I searched around the house and found nothing!"

"What?" A bad premonition came to Lu Lin'an's mind, and the three of them searched again at home, under the bed, in the closet, even the cupboard where the bowls were placed, but they still found nothing, so they went upstairs to search. The white sparrow poked its head out from the stairs on the second floor and shook its head at Lu Lin'an. It seemed that there was no one on the balcony either.

My younger sister is an out-and-out house cat, and her activities are limited to the courtyard of Lu’s house. The farthest distance she has walked is from the sofa to the big banyan tree at the door, and the furthest distance from home is to lie on the fence wall of the yard and bask in the sun, etc. When the sun sets, the white sparrow Lu Lin’an will jump into their arms after school and be carried home. She hasn’t stepped out of the yard for 15 years, and now she calls her name in the yard, but there is no familiar meow sound in response.

Thinking of his younger sister's abnormal clingy behavior recently, Lu Lin'an couldn't restrain the flustered feeling that his heart was constantly falling, but he still held Mama Lin's trembling shoulders first, and comforted softly: "Mom, don't worry, I and The little bird went outside to look for it."

"I'll go with you."

"It's fine for me to go with Xiaoniao. Mom, you are at home. If my sister comes back, please call us."

"Okay... hurry up, my sister has never been out of the house when she grows up."

At this time, the road was too noisy, and all kinds of passers-by passed by. Lu Linan held the white bird's hand and called all the way. Some people would cast a questioning look at them, but they didn't have the energy to respond. Occasionally, they would jump out of the bushes. A kitten can surprise Lu Linan, but he finds out that it is not his sister.

The whole family dotes on their younger sister too much, because the younger sister is a beautiful and intelligent cat, the best cat in the world, even the indifferent white bird will be gentle when facing the younger sister, allowing her to play the piano by herself When he stepped on the piano keys to make trouble, he would kiss the soft hair on his sister's neck at this time. Lu Lin'an often complained that the white bird was treated differently, and then gently took his sister away from the white bird's arms, and kissed the white bird against her resisting paw. past place.

The younger sister has never suffered since she was a child, and Lu Lin'an can't imagine the scene where she is alone outside.

There was chaos in his mind, and he just repeated the search mechanically. If he hadn't held the white bird's hand, Lu Lin'an wasn't sure where he would go.They walked too far, every street corner, every alley, and every fork. They walked dry, and the scenery on the roadside became strange and desolate, like a new development area, Not many people have moved in yet.It’s already past the time for lunch. The sun in the spring afternoon is not hot but it’s overwhelming. Lu Lin’an took off his coat and put it on the white bird. The white bird is not as vigorous as him, and he should be exhausted after walking so far. .

"Let's go back." Lu Lin'an finally stopped at the corner of the street. My sister couldn't walk any further. She was too old to walk anymore. It was because he didn't find her.

"Look for it again, don't leave my sister outside alone." The white sparrow helped Lu Lin'an to relax his sore legs, and planned to pull Lu Lin'an to walk again. Maybe he just missed it with his sister who ran away from home. That's all.

"……OK."

The younger sister disappeared without a sound like raindrops falling in the ocean. It all happened so suddenly, and Lu Linan was caught off guard before she was ready to say goodbye to her younger sister. I can't blame my younger sister, and my younger sister didn't want to break up like this. Suddenly, but she didn't have much time to choose to linger.

"You have always been very kind to my sister, and she has always loved you." Bai Que sat on the window sill of his house, so that Lu Linan, who was sitting on the ground, could lean on his knees. His nerves, which had been tense all day, needed to rest, and Bai Que was not kind. Words, this is what he can do, the most gentle, can give Lu Linan comfort.

There was not much coolness left in the night in the early spring of the small town, everything was silent, only the occasional chirping of insects from unknown sources made the two of them unable to hear each other's breathing clearly.

"I've heard that cats, cats and dogs will leave alone when they know that they are... getting old. She doesn't want people she knows to see. I didn't expect my sister to do the same." Lu Linan's voice sounded calm, without any waves ups and downs.

"Did you already know that my sister would not be found?" Bai Que felt a little stuck, and the boy who was leaning on him just searched for it all day with vague hopes.

Lu Linan erected a monument for his younger sister at the back of the yard, engraved words, and buried his younger sister's favorite snacks and toys inside. In his heart, he still hoped that the cutest kitty in the world could come back here.

"Did you get scolded by your mother? I spent a whole day looking for a cat with me, and Aunt Bai seems to be back a long time ago."

Lu Linan is best at answering irrelevant questions. When he doesn't want to answer questions, he uses his usual tricks on the white sparrow.

"It's okay, I've done everything I should do." Knowing that he was changing the subject, Bai Que didn't ask.

"Sorry, I wanted you to come to my house for lunch."

"I eat lunch at your house more than at my own, so it doesn't matter if I miss this one."

"Really..." Lu Lin'an chuckled, "Then come again next time."

Lu Lin'an didn't tell his friends about his sister, they all knew her, and if they found out, they would be sad to some extent, they are more suitable for careless nonsense.

My sister's cat climbing frame in the living room was moved to Lu Lin'an's room, because Mama Lin couldn't see it, and it took a month for the depressed atmosphere in the house to ease.

After knowing that his sister had left, Father Lu bought a beautiful Labrador from a pet store in the city. Although Mother Lin said that she was not in the mood to keep other pets yet, she decided to change a pet with Father Lu. Under the persuasion of a different mood, the big fluffy dog ​​was left behind.

"For your own good, you can't always think about your sister."

This Labrador named Kapok is extremely clingy, which makes Lu Linan, who has been raising cats for more than ten years and has been cuddly, very uncomfortable.

"I see, you are shaking M. The colder others are to you, the more excited you are." Baique looked at Lu Linan who was pressed by the kapok on the bed with a wooden face. He slept in Lu Linan's room tonight, but now on the bed It was full of scattered golden dog hair. If Lu Linan didn't change a bed sheet tonight, he would go home and sleep by himself.

"Hahahaha, it's not impossible." Lu Linan was amused by the white sparrow, and picked up the kapok that was groping on his chest. It seemed that he was finally going to the kennel, but he thought of something and picked it up from the drawer. He took out a bell that would not ring and hung it on Kapok's collar.

"Why did it turn red? You bought a new one?"

"Ah."

For my younger sister's birthday, Lu Lin'an bought her a pink one, and even took out the pebbles inside. Unfortunately, my younger sister didn't like it, so she put it away after a few times.

Bai Que knew that Lu Lin'an was more nostalgic than everyone imagined. He repeated the life of picking him up after school day after day. Given his family conditions, there was no need to wait until everyone around him switched to smart phones. There are a lot of things from many years ago in the drawer, some of which are meaningless sundries, including the bell that my sister didn't wear at the beginning.

"That one is for my sister." After finishing speaking, Lu Linan bent down and hugged the Labrador, sent her back to the newly bought kennel, kissed her forehead and said good night to her.
