Chapter 42 Alpaca

I did not talk to lawyer Su again.

At that time, Attorney Huang was the one who talked to me and asked me if I wanted to handle the case independently. I think this should be what Attorney Su meant.

I became a licensed lawyer in our firm. Attorney Su had a new assistant. On the day I moved into his office, he asked the new assistant to bring a pot of asparagus over.

I said thank you, Attorney Su, for me. I learned a lot from him.

The relationship between people is like this. It takes a long time to establish, but only one sentence is needed to break it.Lawyer Su would probably feel that I dare to criticize his way of life as an assistant, but I don't know why he lives like this.

But I'm fine on my own.

The alpaca that Li Xiu gave me looked worried about the country and the people throughout the winter, and it didn’t eat much. I was a little worried about its depression, so I kept growing wheatgrass in the greenhouse for it to eat, but it seemed I don't like to eat very much.The Zheng family has no tradition of raising horses, the place is small, the house is deep, and the housekeeper is rather fragile, so I didn't bring the alpaca there.

I just became a licensed lawyer, and I can hardly receive cases. I am idle all day long. Zheng Ao is very busy. He was afraid that I would be bored, so he said he wanted to find something for me to play with, so the housekeeper brought a Persian cat with two eyes. The colors are different. One is blue and the other is yellow. They are very beautiful, but they are a bit squeamish. They don’t like to eat cat food. I boiled fish in white water mixed with cat food for him to eat. I bought a special comb to comb it. It looks very comfortable, and it meows when I comb it.

Zheng Ao saw it and said, "This cat has a better life than me."

The cat disappeared the next day, and the housekeeper brought a bunch of books for me to read, all related to the law.

I didn't ask Zheng Ao.

He has gradually changed into the kind of appearance I am very familiar with—the appearance of a superior person. If he says a word, countless people will follow him. One day, he will become like his fathers in that high position. A blurry shadow, his emotions are becoming more and more restrained, and his smile is no longer what it used to be.

I got my alpacas back.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, my dad has already started to plan what to do for this year’s Chinese New Year. Because I live at home, he thinks that my relationship with my family is much closer. Chinese New Year stuff.

Luo Xi's school was on vacation, so he invited me out to meet him. He told me that his family has a farm in the suburbs, which does not use pesticides and weeds manually.I was a little moved, and discussed it with him, and planned to put the alpaca there to raise it, so that there would be fresh grass to eat.

I called the Zheng family, and the housekeeper answered, saying that Zheng Ao was in a meeting, and asked me if I wanted to send the phone over, I said no, I might sleep outside at night, at a friend’s house, you don’t have to wait for me up.

Staying in the Zheng family recently, I often hear the Luo family being mentioned. It is a very low-key and stable family. Luo Xi's father grew up with Zheng Yehu and Li Zhurong back then, but I don't know why later. The relationship gradually became estranged.

Luo Xi drove an SUV, removed the back seat, and drove me to Li's house to pick up the alpaca. On the way, we chatted about his school one after another. The Luo family seems to be more specialized in technology, Luo Xi said with a smile Because his father respected intellectuals very much, he was more suitable for this job.

Fortunately, Li Xiu was not at home, otherwise Luo Xi would be interrogated to death.My dad was reading in the study and was a little surprised to see me running home during working hours, but he still actively asked the housekeeper to lead the alpaca out for me. He was probably very worried about the cold reception I encountered at work, so even if I touched the alpaca during working hours The fish didn't tell me either.

The alpaca is relatively heartless, trying to bite the carpet while walking, showing no nostalgia at all.However, the butler has always been very annoying and worried, and because of etiquette, he can't ask directly, so he can only inquire about what I want to do with the alpaca.Worried about it: "You can't cut the hair, you will die if you cut it in winter, and you have to wait until spring to cut it..."

Luo Xi smiled when he saw the alpaca.

"I really bought a mythical beast..." He stretched out his hand to touch the alpaca's head: "I thought Li Xiu would be fooled by buying a camel or something."

The car was still not big enough. The alpaca knelt on the back seat and stuck its head out of the car window. It had a small face and big eyes, looking at the snow and ice outside.The housekeeper was afraid that it would be cold, so he kept stuffing its head inside while I wasn't paying attention, and scolded it in a low voice: "Stay there, I'll freeze you to death!"

Until our car drove away, the butler was still standing there watching.

"What is it doing?" Not far from the car, Luo Xi was looking at the rearview mirror.

"It's eating the sponge on the seat..." I turned around and rubbed the alpaca's head: "It's okay, it won't swallow it, it will spit it out after chewing it."

Luo Xi laughed helplessly.

"There are dozens of kilometers left, and it is estimated that it will be full there."

The alpaca's fur is soft and warm, I rub it again and again, Luo Xi reminds me: "Don't keep turning your head, the road over there is not good, you will get motion sickness."

Probably Luo Xi's father did have an intellectual temperament, which is why he set up such a farm in the suburbs.

"There is geothermal heat here, but the hot springs are not very good, so my dad simply built a farm here to grow some vegetables in winter." Luo Xi introduced to me while parking the car: "This is more suitable for the elderly to live in. Our family Some retired servants also live here."

"It's pretty good." I was about to talk again, but when I got out of the car, I was stunned by the cold for a second or two. Luo Xi laughed, and when he smiled, his eyes rolled down, like a famous star who is famous for melancholy, It's just that he's younger, and his smile has the sincerity of a restrained person.

"It's cold, isn't it?" He put his down jacket on me: "This is a suburb, so it's colder than Beijing."

I’m not afraid of the cold, but the alpaca is freezing, the outside is full of snow, the alpaca’s hooves are bare, I wrap the sponge that I bit off on its feet, and pull it out of the car by the rope around its neck pull down.

The farm knew that Luo Xi was coming, and the person in charge had already come out to pick him up. He was an old man in a military overcoat and a fur hat, his beard was covered with ice, and he smiled boldly: "Hey! This camel is still wearing shoes!"

Luo Xi politely called him "Uncle Yuan", and I followed suit.

Uncle Yuan took the alpaca to graze, and talked to it: "I knew you were coming, so I told them to leave the grass. What kind of camel is this? Why is it so hairy? Don't bite! It's a flower! Eat it bad I'll beat you, you little brat..."

The alpaca looked obedient and followed behind him.

When Uncle Yuan was walking, I realized that his legs were lame.

"Uncle Yuan used to raise horses, but was injured later." Luo Xi explained to me: "Let's go eat something first, the vegetables here are very good, and he also raised sheep..."

I was too cold to speak.

I drank a cup of hot tea in a room with a kang, and sat on the heated kang to eat around the quilt. Vegetables were put in the milky white clear soup, and the lamb was roasted until it was burnt. I gradually came back to my senses, Luo Xi poured hot soup for me to drink, and said that I would go to the hot spring later.

"Can alpacas take a hot spring?" I asked him, blowing my nose.

"Probably ok," Luo Xi smiled as he picked up some food for me: "After soaking, ask Uncle Yuan to take it to the fire and treat it as a bath."

I quickly stopped: "What if it is cooked?"

Before soaking in the hot spring, I went to see the alpaca.Uncle Yuan should feed it some grass. It seemed very happy, lying next to a piece of green vegetables, and did not steal the vegetables.Uncle Yuan was repairing a bunch of farm tools with a cigarette pouch in his mouth, and he was explaining to him the plan of planting vegetables next spring. The alpaca turned its head around, obviously not understanding.

Uncle Yuan saw us and greeted us: "Go to the soup?"

"There are relatively few hot springs here, and there are only two baths. The one outside is for people in the farm." Luo Xi handed me towels and soap, etc.: "This bath is usually locked, and only I It was only opened when Dad came, and I just called them to pack it up."

To take a bath in the hot spring, I took off the clothes on the left and the right, and put them all on the partition door. The water was very hot. After I took a shower, I wrapped in a new towel and went out.

Luo Xi was already in the bath.

The mist is thick on the water, and I can only see his upper body. His skin is fair, and he probably has the habit of exercising at ordinary times. His arms are slender and beautifully lined. He is leaning comfortably against the edge of the stone-built bath, with his own bath towel as his pillow.

"You're thinner than I thought," he smiled at me frankly, "I would have told you to eat more if I had known."

I calmly got into the water, fished out the soaked towel, and threw it aside.The water temperature was just right, very warm.

The bath is very small, and can only accommodate two or three people. I found my place in the corner and lay down too.

Luo Xi smiled at me.

"What are you laughing at?" I gave him a strange look.

"I'm laughing at how you're going to come out later..." He glanced at the bath towel I threw aside meaningfully.

"I'll come out when you come out." I replied calmly.

"Then what if I never come out?"

"Then let's see who we get to know first."

He smiled helplessly.
