Pastoral Daily Life

It was already midnight when Dahei came back.

Lu Lingxi waited and waited until Dahei came back, and fell asleep in Yan Yue's arms in a daze.Because of something on my mind, I haven't been able to sleep very well.As soon as there was movement outside, he woke up with a start.Yan Yue woke up a little earlier than him and was already getting dressed.

"Xiaoxi go to sleep, I'll go and have a look." Yan Yue suppressed Lu Lingxi from getting up, it was cold outside, it seemed that the wind was blowing, he was worried that Lu Lingxi would catch a cold.

Lu Lingxi couldn't sleep, thinking that Yan Yue would bring Dahe in soon, so she agreed and lay down on the bed waiting for Dahei.But the strange thing is that after Yan Yue went out, there was no sound, not even Dahei, he couldn't lie down a little bit, got dressed in a hurry and went out, he was a little stunned for a while.

Dahei is back, but Dahei is not the only one who is back.

There are more than 20 dogs, big and small, squatting in the small courtyard. Dahei squats at the front, and there is a little milk dog in his mouth that seems to be born only a few months old, curled up and sleeping soundly.Yan Yue stood at the front and looked at Dahei, Lu Lingxi could almost see the veins twitching on Yan Yue's forehead.

Hearing the movement behind him, Yan Yue tried his best to soften his expression, turned to look at Lu Lingxi and said, "It's cold outside, why is Xiaoxi up?"

He has a helpless expression, although he has tried his best to suppress it, but he can still see the twitching of the corner of his mouth.Lu Lingxi knew that he shouldn't laugh at this time, but he couldn't help it. It was the first time he saw Yan Yue with such a headache, and smiled with crooked brows and eyes. "Brother Yan."

The boy's tone was cheerful, and this voice of Big Brother Yan carried a hint of coquettishness.Yan Yue had no choice but to indulge him: "Does Xiaoxi want them all to stay?"

Lu Lingxi nodded, and couldn't help laughing again.

Seeing Lu Lingxi nodding, Dahei put down the little milk dog in his mouth, turned around and barked a few times quite seriously.The dogs in the yard seemed to understand what it meant, and responded in twos and threes.But it seems that in order not to wake up the neighbors around them, they all deliberately lowered their voices, and it sounded like a group of dogs acting coquettishly together.

Lu Lingxi looked at this scene with some curiosity. Dahei has always been alone, even if he went to Brother Dong's pet shop, he didn't communicate with other puppies at all. This was the first time Dahei was with other dogs.And their way of communicating... Can each other really understand what the other is saying?Lu Lingxi's mind wandered somewhere, Yan Yue looked at the dogs all over the courtyard with a strange look in his eyes, and thought of the question Lu Lingxi asked him last time.If plants evolve, will animals evolve?At the time, Yan Yue felt that this question was a bit fanciful, but looking at the scene in front of him, he became unsure.

Dahei frightened the dogs in the yard, turned around and barked at Lu Lingxi a few times, as if explaining something.

Lu Lingxi felt that he understood what Dahei meant, it was explaining the origin of these dogs.Some of these dogs are stray dogs nearby, some are dogs that cannot go home because there is no dog hole at home, and there is a little milk dog who can't be chased away by Dahei's side.When talking about the little milk dog, Lu Lingxi even felt that he could hear the helplessness in Dahei's mouth.

Just as Dahei was explaining, the little milk dog on the ground seemed to wake up.Its eyes haven't been fully opened yet, its pink nose first sniffed, then squinted its eyes and moved to Dahei's side, got under its belly and continued to sleep.

Lu Lingxi almost died of laughter, Dahei is a male dog, this illusion of being treated as a dog mother made Lu Lingxi clutch her stomach, almost bursting into tears.

When the sky was slightly bright, the dogs were finally settled.Lu Lingxi "savagely" grabbed every stray dog ​​and bathed them, and then discussed with Yan Yue where the dogs were going.Not all the stray dogs came back with Dahei. The dogs that came back were all older dogs, and they all looked very thin. It is estimated that they belong to the "old, weak, sick and disabled" kind in the stray dog ​​group.

Lu Lingxi felt that since they came back with Dahei, they just didn't want to wander anymore.It can be raised in the flower garden to watch the gate, and they can't eat much anyway.As the flower garden got bigger and bigger, Uncle Li also suggested that they hire someone to guard the flower garden at night.If you have this group of dogs, it will be no problem to hire another person.After he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Yue with sparkling eyes. Yan Yue had always been conniving towards him, so he naturally nodded in agreement.Although Yan Yue felt that a few wolfdogs were more suitable in the flower garden, these native dogs didn't matter.He likes the softness in the boy's heart, and because he doesn't have it, he is more willing to protect this softness.

"Brother Yan, thank you." Lu Lingxi said seriously.It seems that no matter what he does, Yan Yue will indulge him, making him become more and more dependent on Yan Yue without knowing it.This dependence seems to have become a habit and integrated into life.

Yan Yue looked at the boy's serious expression and smiled slightly.A smile poured out of his eyes, and his already handsome face looked even more handsome, with an indescribable charm.Lu Lingxi was a little stunned, and the tips of her ears suddenly turned red.He could feel his heart beating, as if it was about to jump out of his throat the next moment.

"What does Xiaoxi want to thank Brother Yan?" Yan Yue asked with a hint of teasing.

Lu Lingxi blinked, as dull as he knew Yan Yue didn't really want his thanks.The smile in Yan Yue's eyes deepened, and he leaned over and kissed Lu Lingxi.

When I woke up again, it was already past nine o'clock. Last night, after taking care of the dog in the middle of the night, Lu Lingxi overslept for the first time.Yan Yue has already called Dong Qi and asked Dong Qi to help put up a sign saying that it will be closed for one day at the gate of Weiyuan.Since she didn't have to go to the store today, Lu Lingxi didn't rush back to Fengcheng at all. After washing her face and tidying up, she started to stroll around the village alone.

The fact that the dogs in the village ran away collectively and were all found in the middle of the night became a hot topic in the whole village.Under the big willow tree, the villagers got together in twos and threes, and the beginning of the topic must be: "Did your dog run away yesterday? When did you come back?" Because of Dahei, Lu Lingxi was dragged to ask this question several times question.

Just when the attention of the villagers was on this matter, another bombarding news broke out from a well-informed villager.The plastic factory in Songjiazhuang was besieged by a group of dogs last night. I heard that hundreds of dogs surrounded the plastic factory.All the dogs in the nearby villages were mobilized, and even the dogs raised in Songjiazhuang surrounded them.This group of dogs has a clear division of labor. The big dogs are outside the door, and the little dogs squeeze in through the gaps to make trouble.Several machines in the plastic factory were broken, and the people inside were terrified.

"Yes! Let them drain waste water during construction in the middle of the night, isn't that fooling us?"

"That's right, scaring them deserves it."

Although the people in the village had strange expressions when they heard the news, they still felt that the people in Songjiazhuang were killing themselves, and they couldn't stand the dog anymore.Thinking about it, there are many wild dogs nearby, and the dogs in the village are basically not tied up, and let them run.Dogs need to drink water when they are tired from running, and they need to drink water when it is hot.The Lingshui River, the only source of water nearby, was polluted by Songjiazhuang. These dogs have no place to drink water. Aren't they going to make trouble?

In the rural areas of Huaguo, dogs have always been considered as spiritual animals, and there are many stories about dogs repaying kindness and revenge.The older the people, the more they believed in these things. They all said that the dog king was angry and called on the dogs to take revenge.In less than half a day, this story spread around the neighborhood.

People in Songjiazhuang also heard this story.Song Wancai murmured in his heart, what happened last night was a bit evil.First, there was a sound like a wolf howling at the entrance of the village, and then the dogs in the village rioted, and ran out of the house by climbing over the wall.When the people in the village chased them out, they saw a group of dogs surrounded the plastic field in a dark mass, and the leading dogs barked at the field, and their voices sounded like a panic.

Song Wancai wanted to tell the villagers to drive these dogs away, but the ones around the outermost were all dogs raised by the villagers themselves.It's not like beating, the dog owner didn't listen to them, and they kept making noise until midnight, which made everyone in the village miserable.

"Is there really a dog king?"

Song Wancai believed it a little bit, and wanted to discuss with the people in the plastic factory to stop work for a few days first.The director of the plastic factory is called Jin Laoliu, who is not a local, and he is a little unhappy after hearing Song Wancai's words.Suspension of work means loss. He is already worried about money by suspending work during the day. If he stops at night, he will drink the northwest wind.

Jin Laoliu insisted, and Song Wancai hesitated, gritted his teeth and continued.

People in Songjiazhuang don't believe in evil, and Yan Yue doesn't think that they can stop working just once.When he and Lu Lingxi returned to the city in the morning, Dahei was left in the flower garden.Now that you have done it, just do it to the end, once and for all.

Lu Lingxi was a little bit reluctant to part with Dahei, this was the first time he and Dahei were separated.He squatted in front of Dahei and stroked Dahei's head, promising to pick him up in two days.Yan Yue looked rather apprehensive, last time when he returned to Zhongjing, Lu Lingxi never showed such reluctance.Taking advantage of Lu Lingxi not paying attention, Yan Yue gave Da Hei a hard look.

Stupid dog!

Dahei ignored Yan Yue's eyes, and rubbed against Lu Lingxi's palm affectionately.It knew what it was going to do when it stayed, and led the dogs behind it, looking very majestic and dignified.Of course, the premise of all this is to pretend not to see the little milk dog with big black legs.

The owner of the little milk dog is the man and woman that Lu Lingxi heard yesterday. I don't know how the four-month-old little milk dog ran out of the yard.In the morning, Dahei followed the smell and sent the little milk dog back, but the little milk dog refused to leave Dahei.The hostess of that house looked funny and threw it to Dahei with confidence.

After Lu Lingxi touched Dahei, she petted the little milk dog, and finally followed Yan Yue back to the city.

That night, the plastic factory in Songjiazhuang did not shut down, and Dahei once again summoned a group of dogs to surround him.The plastic factory was prepared this time and found a lot of dog poles.Dahei was so angry that he jumped forward lightly, and bit off the bamboo pole that was closest to him in one bite.The dogs behind followed suit, and quickly rushed into the plastic factory, making trouble wantonly.

For three days in a row, Dahei took the dogs to surround the plastic factory every day.The plastic factory has also developed from a dog's pole to buying a pack of rat poison wrapped in a bun and scattered around the plastic factory.To the surprise of the people inside, none of the dogs ate these buns.A few who couldn't help their mouths were also scolded by the leading dogs.

Under the darkness of night, the black pack of dogs squatted outside the plastic factory, looking like a well-trained army.Now, needless to say, among the workers in the plastic factory who were lured by high overtime pay, even Song Wancai, who came with the villagers to disperse the dogs, couldn't hold on any longer. He felt that the scene in front of him was really scary.Some timid villagers were so weak that their legs trembled and said, "Aren't these dogs smart?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Jin Laoliu rushed out aggressively holding a shotgun he got somewhere.Before he could take aim, Dahei's figure flew out and pinned him to the ground with bared teeth.

"Kill...killed." Jin Lao Liu yelled like killing a pig.

The people in the plastic factory took a step back timidly, and no one dared to step forward to save him.

Dahei pushed the shotgun away with his paw, and a stray dog ​​rushed out quickly and took the gun away.Dahei squinted his eyes and looked around, and the people who were facing him trembled: "Dog... Gou Daxian?"

Dahei ignored them, raised his head and barked, and the dogs behind him howled together.Song Wancai felt that he would never forget this day for the rest of his life, the way hundreds of dogs howled together, and the big black dog at the front.

It wasn't until dawn that Dahei took the dogs away.As soon as they left, the workers in the plastic factory wanted to resign one after another, and no one dared to stay any longer.Song Wancai felt his beating heart and went to look for Jin Laoliu. He was ruthlessly planning to shut down the factory first, but he was frightened.In the end, after searching for a long time, no one was found. Finally, I heard that Jin Laoliu fainted from fright and was sent to the village clinic.

The surrounding villages all know what happened in Songjiazhuang.I heard that the first thing Jin Lao Liu did when he woke up was to close the plastic factory and leave.He is not going to stay in this ghost place anymore, those dogs are not dogs at all, they are all spirits.

Uncle Li quickly told Lu Lingxi about this matter over the phone. The old man didn't know that the legendary dog ​​king was Dahei, and he praised the dog king over and over again on the phone.Although Lu Lingxi couldn't tell Dahei's identity, but he heard that he was honored, and made up his mind to pick up Dahei at night, and bring him a box of chicken legs by the way.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Lingxi talked to Yan Yue again.Yan Yue was not at Weiyuanyi, but went to Xue Yongtong's place.Gao Yongliang formulated his first perfume with the essential oil extracted from begonias, and asked Yan Yue to take a look at the samples.Hearing from Lu Lingxi that he wanted to go to the flower garden to pick up Dahei at night, Yan Yue readily agreed and asked Lu Lingxi to wait for him in the store, and he would be back right away.It's just that not long after Yan Yue hung up the phone, the sky suddenly darkened, and a heavy rain poured down without warning.All of a sudden, there was lightning and thunder, and pedestrians on the road avoided one after another, and the rainwater that fell quickly accumulated on the street.

Lu Lingxi braved the rain and moved the flowers placed at the door back into the shop, looking at the sky outside with some concern.It was very dark before five o'clock, and the visibility was very low.He definitely can't go to the flower garden in this state, Dahei has Uncle Li to take care of him, so he doesn't need to worry about it, he is worried about how Yan Yue will come back due to the heavy rain.

Yan Yue's text message came quickly, he is blocked on the road now, so Lu Lingxi should not worry.It was fine if Yan Yue didn't say anything, but when he said he was stuck on the road, Lu Lingxi became even more worried.Looking out of the window again, Lu Lingxi couldn't concentrate on what to do, so she simply sat at the door with a wicker chair and waited for Yan Yue, while browsing the news on the Internet with her mobile phone.

The Fengcheng Meteorological Station was also very surprised by this rain, and there was no warning at all before.I don't know what happened, but the weather in Huaguo this year is very abnormal. The southwest area is originally a humid area, but it has not rained a few times throughout the summer, and there has been a severe drought that has not been seen in decades.Fengcheng is better. Although the temperature is ridiculously high, there will always be heavy rain every once in a while, so it's not a severe drought.The most puzzling thing is that in the northwest, as a traditionally severe drought area, it rained too much this year, and several small-scale floods broke out.When all these news are superimposed, there is a feeling that the climate in China is completely messed up.

Lu Lingxi put away her phone and looked out of the window. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, as if a hole had been torn in the sky and someone was spraying water down.There are no pedestrians on the road at all. Occasionally, a car drives by, and it drives very slowly, passing by Wei Garden.Yan Yue didn't come back after so long, and he didn't know where he was trapped, so Lu Lingxi became a little anxious.

He was anxious, and Yan Yue was even more anxious.

At the intersection not far from the street of Micro Gardening, a car accident just happened.All the cars on one road were blocked there, forming a long queue in the distance.Yan Yue rested his hands on the steering wheel, tapping the steering wheel lightly with his fingers.This is his action when he is thinking, and it is also his subconscious action when he is irritable.

It was already past six o'clock, and Lu Lingxi was still trapped in the micro garden.Yan Yue was in a hurry to find him, fearing that something might happen to the boy alone.The window of a car next to him was slightly opened, and there was a faint scolding sound. "What the hell weather."

After hearing this, Yan Yue almost wanted to curse, "This damn weather."

He was fine when he went to Xue Yongtong's place in the afternoon, and the weather forecast did not say that there would be rain this afternoon. Who would have thought that such a heavy rain would suddenly come.Fortunately, the traffic police seemed to take into account today's weather conditions, and dealt with the car accident in front fairly quickly, and soon the cars that were stuck together slowly moved away.

Yan Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and looked out the window casually. Suddenly, his eyes changed, and his eyes condensed on a car opposite.That car was the one that had been involved in the accident at the corner before.The person in the driver's seat was Yin Ya, who he hadn't seen for a while, and the co-pilot was unexpectedly Lu Weian.

From his point of view, Yin Ya was smiling and talking to Lu Weian, and the relationship between the two seemed a little close.Yan Yue's eyes were clear, and he remembered the mother's plan mentioned by the housekeeper.I just don't know what the two of them are doing in Fengcheng?

In another car, Lu Weian glanced sharply outside.Yin Ya was concerned: "Brother Wei'an, what's wrong?"

Lu Weian frowned slightly, "I always felt that someone was looking at us just now?" Because of his illness, he was very sensitive to other people's eyes, and he was sure that someone was looking at them just now, it was not an illusion.

Yin Ya didn't care much, "Maybe they are looking at our car."

Lu Weian smiled and said nothing, as if he accepted the explanation.

Meeting Yin Ya was just a small episode, and Yan Yue quickly withdrew his attention.The two cars passed by across the fence, Yan Yue didn't look at each other again, but turned to the direction of Wei Gardening.A quarter of an hour later, Yan Yue finally received Lu Lingxi. "Hurry up and get in the car."

Lu Lingxi put away his umbrella and trotted into the car, just like that his right shoulder was also wet.

Yan Yue touched Lu Lingxi's face worriedly, feeling a little too cold.He found a coat from the back seat and changed Lu Lingxi's clothes, and asked, "Is it cold?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head, "It's okay."

Yan Yue reluctantly let go of his heart.Now that he was connected to Lu Lingxi, he was not in a hurry.The two drove slowly all the way, and planned to turn to a small restaurant to pick up Wang Shuxiu halfway, but Wang Shuxiu said that it was raining too much, and told them to leave her alone, and just live upstairs in the small restaurant.

Lu Lingxi faintly heard Brother Feng's voice from the phone, and hung up the phone with a strange expression.

"What?" Yan Yue asked paying attention to his expression.

Lu Lingxi frowned, "Brother Feng was blocked in the small restaurant by the rain."

Yan Yue was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Lu Lingxi meant, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.No matter how Lu Lingxi is still a child, she seems to have a natural possessive desire for her mother.Xiao Feng was just blocked by the rain in the small restaurant, Lu Lingxi was already on guard, as if Xiao Feng was going to do something.

"Don't like Xiao Feng?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head, "No, it just feels weird."

Yan Yue rubbed his hair with a smile, but did not comment on this matter.

The two went to bed early after they got home. They didn't know that on this night, the continuous heavy rain caused the water level of Lingshui River to skyrocket, and the black river water was wrapped in mud and began to spread towards the fields on the side of the village.From Songjiazhuang to Shigou River, the black water slowly seeped into the ground, polluting large tracts of fields.

Among the villages along the Lingshui River, Lingshui Village is the only one that is not polluted by the river.The roots of the big willow tree are firmly attached to the river, and the intertwined roots block the infiltration of the river water, slowly absorbing the river water that has not come.
