Shimmer Forest

"I...I..." The two grew up together, and with Su Jin's personality of taking off as soon as he said it, Wu Hao should have been used to it.But at this moment, the slightly moist rain made the white skin very attractive, and he felt that the surroundings became hot and dry instantly, and the scorching temperature made his thoughts confused, and he was a little nervous and incoherent.

"How are you?" He deliberately put his shoulder on his shoulder, and the fiery temperature was quickly conveyed.Su Jin didn't realize that he was playing with firecrackers at all, and just enjoyed Wu Hao's cramped appearance and continued to push forward.

Wu Hao's mind was in chaos. Just when he was determined to be beaten to death and wanted to force him, Su Jin, who was still smiling, suddenly became serious, and covered his lips with his hand, with vigilant eyes.

The palm was slightly cool and soft, which calmed Wu Hao down in a timely manner.He was startled, instinctively held Su Jin's hand, and looked back.

The lush grass behind him shook a few times and made a rustling sound.A huge leaf suddenly flew out of it and landed on the ground in front of the grass.

It looks like a lotus leaf. The oval leaves gather slightly and become a natural umbrella, which can just cover two people.

Behind the lush grass, a head carefully drilled out.It was a black and white mixed-haired dog with bright round eyes.It was trying to push the huge leaf closer to the two of them, trying to make them discover it.Seeing the two of them turning their heads, it quickly shrank back and hid itself in the grass.

"Is it a dog?" Wu Hao blinked his eyes with doubts on his face.

Su Jin ignored him, walked over, picked up the leaves and stared at them for a while, then looked into the grass.

The dog didn't leave, but hid itself in the grass and watched him secretly.Seeing his gaze, he hid in the grass as if he was very frightened.

Su Jin knew it was vigilant, so he didn't continue to approach it.He propped up the leaf, looked at the black and white dog with a smile, and said softly, "Thank you."

Huagou seemed to understand what he said, tilted his head, and slowly wagged his tail.

"Ah, it's quite cute." Wu Hao didn't see their interaction, and brushed aside the weeds that covered it mercilessly.Huagou jumped away in shock and ran a few meters away.

Only then did they realize that the dog had no front legs.The two short front legs rest on the chest, and the broken part has been wrapped in fluff.It can only walk by bouncing backwards, like a kangaroo.

"Idiot!" Su Jin hammered his head heavily, with a look of disgust: "Don't scare it."

"Oh, I'm just curious..." Wu Hao covered his head with a look of grievance, thinking that his status in his heart was not as good as that of a dog.Looking up, he saw that the flower dog didn't run away, but stood not far away and looked at them with his head tilted. He quickly clapped his hands together and apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Huagou watched from a distance for a while, then hesitantly moved closer, as if he wanted to get close to the two of them, but he didn't dare to approach them.

Su Jin flipped through his trouser pockets, and there was only one candy in it that was almost soaked by the rain.He put the candy in his hand, knelt down and stretched out his hand to the flower dog: "Sorry, I only have this on me, if you don't mind, please use it."

Huagou stood there watching for a while, then approached hesitantly, and sniffed the candy in his hand lightly.

Probably attracted by the still sweet smell, Huagou swallowed the candy in one gulp, chewed it, and ate it deliciously.

Su Jin hugged her knees and looked at it. After it finished eating, she completely let go of her guard against Su Jin. She walked to his side and rubbed her round head against his knee.

"It's still very close." Wu Hao stretched out his hand and stroked its head. The flower dog was not frightened this time, and squinted its eyes enjoying itself.

Perhaps because of the luxuriant trees here, the flower dog's body did not get wet, and the fluff was soft and smooth.Wu Hao had already forgotten that the two of them were still at the foot of the hill, and soon became acquainted with the flower dog. He scratched its chin and asked, "Strange, why is it here?"

"It looks like an old dog. It must have been abandoned by someone and wandered here." Su Jin stroked its head lovingly, with a hint of sadness and pity in its eyes.

"It's so pitiful to meet an irresponsible master." Wu Hao was indignant about this, and then turned his head to look at the thoughtful person beside him: "Study, let's take it back?"

"Okay, that's exactly what I mean." Su Jin hugged the flower dog and let the muddy water on its paws wet its body.He put his face on Huagou's ear and asked softly, "What do you mean? Do you want to go with us?"

Huagou was a little scared at first, and his body trembled slightly.It stared at Su Jin's smile, and its bright eyes were very clear.Slowly, it relaxed in the other party's smile, and stretched out its tongue to lick his cheek, as if answering.

"Then let's go." Su Jin seemed to know the answer a long time ago, and the smile on his face deepened.

Huagou suddenly jumped out of his arms, walked up to the two of them, looked back at them, as if telling them to go together.The two understood and quickly followed.

Su Jin forgot that her foot was still injured, staggered and nearly fell to the ground.Fortunately, Wu Hao helped him in time, so that he didn't fall into the muddy water again.

Seeing this, Huagou jumped back and licked his cheek worriedly.Su Jin responded with a smile, stroked its head, and comforted it softly: "Don't worry, it's fine."

"Really, when will you be so gentle to me?" Wu Hao knew that Su Jin had always liked dogs, seeing his attitude towards dogs and his attitude towards himself, he was really different, and couldn't help feeling resentful .Before Su Jin could reply, Wu Hao put him on his back again.

The warm breath came and swept away the coldness in the rain curtain, making Su Jin's body gradually warm up.He didn't speak any more, but put his arms around Wu Hao's neck, put his head on his shoulder, and closed his eyes.

It's an emotion that can be conveyed without words.Wu Hao couldn't help smiling, and reached out to pat Huagou's head: "Let's go Hua, we will follow."

Ah Hua was no longer worried when she heard that, and ran to the front of the road happily with her mouth open, looking completely healthy and healthy.

"Ah Hua?" Su Jin blinked, looked at the flower dog running happily in front of her, and couldn't help asking: "Did you get your name so soon?"

"Since we want to raise it, of course we have to give it a name." Wu Hao walked forward slowly with him on his back, the rain gradually became lighter, and the road under his feet seemed to be no longer so difficult.

"It's a boy. Wouldn't it be a bit of a girly name?"

"How come, don't you think Ah Hua is also very happy?"

"I think it's better to be called Xiaohao or Xiao Xiaohao."

"...Why not Xiaojin or Bookworm?"

"You are a big dog yourself, so there is nothing wrong with using your name?"

"...I'm going to throw you down, I'm really going to throw you down!"

"You don't want to."

The sun's rays penetrated the clouds, and the golden light beams sprinkled spread on the way home full of laughter and laughter.

Under the guidance of A Hua, the two quickly found the way to the village and returned home.

Uncle Wu didn't go to work because of the weather, and he looked at the dirty two and a dog standing side by side in front of him speechlessly.But Su Jingran was really angry, and scolded the two brats head-to-head, his words were full of exasperation after extreme worry.

Both of them heard his worry, so they didn't refute, and just stood aside and listened obediently.Ah Hua looked a little scared, and couldn't help shrinking her neck when she heard Su Jingran's voice.But even so, he still hesitated and walked to Su Jingran's side, rubbing his trouser legs, trying to stop him from getting angry.

Su Jingran noticed the slight itchiness on his legs, and lowered his head angrily.A'hua was so frightened that she backed away a few steps, lowered her head with her tail crossed, and looked at him cautiously.

Seeing its pitiful appearance, Su Jingran immediately lost most of her anger, and rubbed her temples helplessly: "Forget it, as long as you all know you made a mistake, don't do it again."

The two nodded in a hurry, hurriedly surrounded and hugged Ah Hua, and praised excitedly: "Ah Hua, you are awesome!"

"Speaking of which, where did this stray dog ​​come from?" Su Jingran, who had regained his senses, finally cared about its existence, knelt down and tickled its wet nose, and avoided it in disgust.

"I picked it up in the mountains." Su Jin put his arms around its neck and was reluctant to let go: "The rumors of monsters circulating in the village a while ago must be it."

"Huh?" Su Jingran was startled, and observed A'hua carefully again, before nodding thoughtfully after a long time: "Two monsters with legs like kangaroos... Well, they really match."

"Is this the rumored monster?" Uncle Wu, who had been silent all this time, was finally aroused by his curiosity, and bent down to look at A'hua in surprise, with a look of complete disbelief.

"It is also very familiar with the mountains and the road leading to the entrance of the village. It should be the one that has been wandering there." Wu Hao also replied.

"Then I should take it to show everyone." Uncle Wu smiled and patted Ah Hua's head: "After all, he is also regarded as a famous figure in strange stories."

"This guy is still very dear." Su Jingran completely ignored his words, continued to pinch A Hua's nose, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Jin: "Why, you want to raise it."

"Of course." Su Jin replied decisively: "Since I brought it back, I will be responsible for it. It is too cruel for it to lose it after developing feelings."

"Then, nerd, you brought me back, don't you have to be responsible for me..." Wu Hao couldn't help but stepped forward to declare his status, but it was a pity that Su Jingran punched him before he finished speaking. to the face.
