Pastoral Daily Life

Chapter 123 The Gray Cat

Lu Lingxi had a meal at Uncle Li's house at noon, and in the afternoon he and Yan Yue strolled around to visit the Lingshui River.

A few years ago, the two discussed about renting a few more acres of land by the Lingshui River and digging a larger pond.At that time, there were many things, and the matter of the pond has not been implemented.This time they came here, the two planned to live in the flower garden for a day, and signed the land lease contract by the way.Uncle Li has already contacted them for them before, and the price and the number of years of renting the land have been negotiated, and we will wait for them to come to finalize.

Originally, the two of them planned to sign the contract after dinner, but the other party just happened to go out to visit relatives today and would not come back until evening.Lu Lingxi thought that there was no rush anyway, so he simply went to the river to have a look and plan how to divert water conveniently.

The two walked slowly all the way, and Dahei quietly followed Lu Lingxi.Although it is early spring, it is not cold outside at all, and the sun is shining on the body to warm it up.Before going out, Yan Yue insisted that Lu Lingxi wear a down jacket, but he himself only wore a woolen jacket.Lu Lingxi protested for a long time before trying not to wear a down jacket. It was too hot to wear.He remembered Uncle Li's reminder, and discussed with Yan Yue whether he should find someone to dig a well. Uncle Li was worried that there would be a severe drought in the spring.

Speaking of it, Uncle Li is not unfounded.The weather has been a little weird since last winter.At the beginning of November last year, the temperature in Fengcheng suddenly dropped. There was no heating at that time, and it was freezing even at home.Many people caught a cold from the cold, and the cold medicines on the market were almost wiped out.Later, Fengcheng provided heating ten days in advance, and experienced farmers all said that it was a severe winter.Unexpectedly, it was cold for a month in total, and the weather began to warm up again after December. After that, there was no snow for two whole months, and the good weather continued until the Chinese New Year.

As soon as spring begins, the ice on the Lingshui River will completely melt, showing signs of "warm spring and flowers blooming".Uncle Li was a little worried, and privately told Lu Lingxi that he was afraid of a severe drought depending on the weather.But he can't tell for sure, and he doesn't know what's going on in the past few years. God is like a child's face, and it changes as it says.In eastern Guangdong, where Uncle Li’s son works, there was a severe drought at the beginning of last spring, and even water at home was difficult.After a few months of hard work, it started to rain, but the rain couldn't stop at all, and it turned into a flood again.All in all, such an abnormal weather is not a good thing, so Uncle Li thought about digging a well to prepare.

Lu Lingxi didn't know much about these things, but he believed in Uncle Li's judgment.After he finished talking, Yan Yue agreed, and Yan Yue had no objection to it, as long as Lu Lingxi was happy.

"There are also Qiutian Flower Garden and Dad's vegetable greenhouse." Lu Lingxi added, and after thinking about it, she said to Yan Yue: "Why don't we pay for the village to dig a well, anyway, it's convenient to do it together, in case it really happens What about a drought?"

Wei Garden and Lingshui Village have always cooperated well, and the residents of the village also take good care of Lu Lingxi.Lu Lingxi faintly regards this place as her second home, and her affection for Lingshui Village is much deeper than that for Zhongjing.He has always wanted to do something for the village, and it doesn't cost much to dig a well, so it is convenient for the village to cut off water when there is a severe drought.

After Lu Lingxi finished speaking, she looked at Yan Yue expectantly.Yan Yue smiled lightly, and agreed: "Okay."

Yan Yue himself is used to doing things from the perspective of profit, but he likes Lu Lingxi's softness and kindness.He stroked Lu Lingxi's hair pamperingly, and joked: "Xiaoxi is the boss, Brother Yan always listens to Xiaoxi."

Lu Lingxi glared at him with a puffy face, and smiled with her eyes bent.

The two strolled all the way to the Lingshui River, and heard the sound of the river rushing from a distance.This was the first time Lu Lingxi came here after the Lingshui River was completely purified.Different from the blue water flow he saw on the panel, the Lingshui River in front of him was crystal clear. Under the sunlight, it seemed that even the patterns on the pebbles at the bottom of the river could be seen clearly.

Because of the warm weather, tender green grass has sprouted in the moist soil by the river.Lu Lingxi squatted by the river and touched it excitedly, beckoning Yan Yue to come and have a look.When the Lingshui River was most polluted last year, except for the mutated bitter grass at the bottom of the river, almost nothing grew along the river, and it was so bare and ugly.Although the tender green in front of him is not very conspicuous, in Lu Lingxi's eyes, it is more beautiful than anything else.

"Brother Xiaoxi."

Little Shitou ran over from the village with Ah Huang, calling Lu Lingxi's name while running.Lu Lingxi stood up with a smile, and the little stone rushed towards his arms like a small cannonball.Yan Yue was worried that Lu Lingxi would not be able to hold the little stone, so he stretched out his hand to gently stop the little stone, and brought the little stone into his arms.Xiaoshi shrugged his mouth and elongated his voice softly, "Brother Xiaoxi..."

Lu Lingxi stood beside Yan Yue with a funny face, touched Xiao Shitou's face, "Happy New Year, Xiao Shitou."

Xiao Shitou immediately became happy, and smiled with his gaping teeth and narrowed his eyes, "Brother Xiaoxi, Happy Chinese New Year."

Lu Lingxi took out two red envelopes from Yan Yue's jacket pocket and handed them to Xiao Shishi.He has been receiving red envelopes throughout the Chinese New Year, and finally he has the opportunity to give out red envelopes. "Here, my brother gave it to you."

Xiao Shitou blinked and shook his head, "Mom told me not to accept red envelopes from others."

Seeing his serious face, Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, "Brother Xiaoxi and Brother Yan gave it to him, and it's not someone else."

Xiao Shitou happily accepted the red envelope and said loudly with a grin: "Thank you Brother Xiaoxi and Uncle Yan."

Yan Yue: "..."

Lu Lingxi almost died of laughter, Xiaoshishi clearly did it on purpose.He held back a smile not to look at Yan Yue's expression, and stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Shishi's face. "Little rascal."

Xiao Shitou hugged Lu Lingxi's arm flatteringly, and squeezed from Yan Yue's arms to Lu Lingxi's.With the lesson from last time, Xiao Shitou has been quite obedient during this time.Every day he either stays at home obediently, or follows Yu Xiaojuan in the flower garden.On the first day of the new year, Lu Lingxi called him and told him that he would come to Lingshui Village in the new year, and Xiao Shitou began to look forward to it.After finally waiting for Lu Lingxi to come, Xiaoshitou went to the flower garden to search around and no one was there. It was Ahuang who sniffed the smell of Dahei and came all the way to find it.

Lu Lingxi played with Xiao Shitou by the river for a while, and it was almost three o'clock.Yan Yue touched Lu Lingxi's face, although he said it wasn't very cold outside, but after staying for a long time, his face was still a bit cold to the touch.Xiao Shitou rolled his eyes when he saw his movements, and immediately said obediently: "Brother Xiaoxi, let's go back."

Lu Lingxi also felt that the time spent outside was a bit long, so she nodded upon hearing this.

With Lu Lingxi on his back, Xiao Shitou made a face at Yan Yue.Yan Yue felt relieved, and unceremoniously stretched out his hand to bring the little stone to his side. "Uncle Yan is pulling you." Yan Yue focused on reading the word "uncle". Little Shitou wanted to break free, but he couldn't resist Yan Yue's strength at all.He pursed his mouth and looked at Lu Lingxi aggrievedly.

Lu Lingxi was a little dumbfounded, there was nothing she could do about the two of them.Just as he was about to speak, a dog barked from far away in the village.Dahei stopped suddenly, called out to Lu Lingxi in a low voice, and ran quickly towards the village.

Ah Huang followed closely behind Da Hei, Yan Yue frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Lingxi looked in the direction of the village with a strange expression, and said, "Dahei said that the dogs in the village were bullied."

"It's that gray cat, it must be that gray cat." Little Shitou immediately jumped up, forgetting for a moment the confrontation with Yan Yue, and shouted angrily.

"What gray cat?" Lu Lingxi was at a loss.

Little Shitou clenched his hands into fists and explained to Lu Lingxi angrily: "I don't know when a big gray cat came to the village. That cat is so annoying that it bullies the dogs in the village. Ah Huang and it There were two fights. The big cat ran away every time it couldn't beat Ah Huang, and came back to bully the dogs in the village when Ah Huang was gone."

Because Xiao Shitou can communicate with Ah Huang, he subconsciously regards himself as being on the side with the dogs in the village.Every time he saw the dogs in the village being bullied, Xiao Shitou felt angry with the same enemy.

Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue looked at each other, and they both felt that this cat might not be an ordinary cat, it should have evolved. "Let's go and have a look." Yan Yue said.

Lu Lingxi nodded.

The three of them entered the village and followed the barking dog to find it.Soon, I saw a big gray cat squatting proudly on the roof, squinting its eyes and looking down at Dahei.Dahei looked at it vigilantly with his back arched.A little white dog that looked quite familiar ran around the big black cheerfully, barking provocatively at the gray cat from time to time.The gray cat didn't bother to talk to the little white dog at all, its eyes were fixed on Dahei all the time.On the contrary, Dahei was still paying attention to the little white dog. Whenever the little white dog left its range of activities, Dahei would stop the little white dog back with a paw.The little white dog seemed to think that Dahei was playing a game with him, and he stuck out his tongue and licked Dahei's face affectionately, and ran even more happily.

The gray cat on the roof heard Lu Lingxi's footsteps and lazily turned around to look over.When it saw Lu Lingxi clearly, it immediately gave up confronting Dahei, and meowed at Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi met the gray cat's golden pupils, and vaguely felt that he had seen this cat somewhere.Yan Yue reminded: "Last time in the south of the city."

Lu Lingxi was stunned.The last time he and Yan Yue went to the south of the city to see how the soil was being purified, they happened to meet this cat.At that time, the cat was lying on the tree basking in the sun, and barked at him a few times.But the south of the city is a long way from here, so I don't know how the cat came here so far?

Dahei saw Lu Lingxi trotting in front of him, the gray cat took another look at Lu Lingxi, turned around and jumped away.

"That's it." Little Stone said angrily.

Lu Lingxi comforted Xiao Shitou, feeling that Xiao Shitou was more angry than Dahei, as if he himself had been bullied.

"When we catch it next time, teach it a lesson, okay?"

Little Shitou nodded vigorously, "We must teach it a lesson, and we must not let it keep bullying the dogs in the village."

Lu Lingxi agreed with a funny face.

After coaxing Xiaoshitou, the two sent Xiaoshitou home.On the way back to the garden, Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue talked about the cat.He remembered that Xiao Hei was also found in the village last time, and this time he found the cat in the village again.It is estimated that both of them were attracted by the big willow tree.In a way, animals are much more sensitive than humans.

Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi looked up at the big willow tree not far away.Through the panel as an intermediary, he has a wonderful connection with the big willow tree.Lu Lingxi had a vague feeling that the big willow tree seemed to be evolving again.
