Solstice Secrets

Ling Dongzhi was a little dumbfounded when he saw the hot pot restaurant's lights in the distance.The shop was sealed up, the boss was locked up, the trees fell and the monkeys scattered, so naturally no one would stay in the shop.If the people in the store took Jingba away, where would he find them?If no one wanted that little Jingba, where would it hide?It's winter now, there is no living area nearby, and there are very few restaurants. It is very difficult for it to dig out something to eat from the trash can.

Ling Dongzhi knew that meeting it last time was a very unexpected situation, but he still couldn't help blaming himself.If you don't care so much, just take it away.

The driver glanced at them from the rearview mirror and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Zhuang, where is the car parked?"

Zhuang Zhou glanced at Ling Dongzhi, Ling Dongzhi hurriedly said, "Please stop by the flower bed in front."

The driver hurriedly said, "Okay."

This guy's name is Li He, and he is a newcomer recruited by Zhuang Zhou's secretary, Qiao Yun, from the marketing department.The young man had probably never had this kind of errand work in the middle of the night, and his eyes were full of panic when he was called by Zhuang Zhou.It wasn't until I found out that my job was just to act as a temporary driver that I was relieved.

Ling Dongzhi pushed open the car door, roughly judged the terrain in front of the hot pot restaurant, then turned to Zhuang Zhou and said, "You wait for me here. I'll come back after a round."

Zhuang Zhou was poured a few glasses of wine by He Kuan at the dinner table, and now his eyes were slightly flushed.However, his capacity for drinking has already been practiced on the wine table, so he really didn't pay attention to this little wine.He knew that Ling Dongzhi said this because he was worried that he would be drunk and uncomfortable, so he felt warm in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, let's find each other separately."

Ling Dongzhi thought for a while, "That's fine. If you feel uncomfortable, go back to the car and wait."

Zhuang Zhou reached out and rubbed his head, "Then I'll go this way."

Ling Dongzhi glanced at the car, the driver Li He was sitting in a daze, watching his eyes, his nose, his nose, his nose and his heart, so he rubbed his palm on Zhuang Zhou with confidence, "Okay."

Zhuang Zhou pursed his lips and smiled, took his hand and walked towards the hot pot restaurant, "Do you think it will still be here?"

"Half and half." He held Ling Dongzhi's hand, feeling like a child being taken care of by an adult, feeling a little uncomfortable.But Zhuang Zhou's hands were big and warm, and he was a bit reluctant to let him get rid of him.After struggling for a while, I simply pretended that I didn't notice anything, "If someone took it away, there would be nowhere to look for it. If no one took it away, I think it should still be around here. After all, it is here Its home, there should be no other place for it to go except here."

Zhuang Zhou nodded, but did not speak.The two separated in front of the store, each looking in one direction.

Ling Dongzhi remembered that Little Jingba said that it knew its own name, and thought that calling his name might attract its attention.But he didn't want Zhuang Zhou to feel that he was a psychopath, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "Ling Dongzhi...Ling Dongzhi..."

A car sped past not far away, and the bright headlights flashed on the black glass windows.Ling Dongzhi felt that he seemed to see something moving, but the car passed by quickly, and the surroundings became dark again.Reluctantly, Ling Dongzhi tugged at the holly in the green belt at his feet, lowered his voice and continued to cry, "Ling Dongzhi...Ling Dongzhi..."

There was a clicking sound from somewhere, followed by a soft rustling sound.

Ling Dongzhi looked suspiciously at the direction the voice came from, "Who's there?"

After a long time, a thin voice called out timidly, "Wow~"

Ling Dongzhi was overjoyed, "Little Jingba, are you still here?!"

A vague shadow in the darkness came towards him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Are you Ling Dongzhi?"

"It's me." Ling Dongzhi took out his mobile phone to illuminate it, and it was indeed the little Jingba from last time, but it looked a lot thinner, and the hair on its body was so dirty that the original color could not be seen, strand by strand. Hanging around like a piece of old felt that hasn't been washed.

Little Jingba stopped a meter away from him, raised his head tremblingly and looked at him, "It's really you, why are you here? No one is doing business here anymore."

"I know." Ling Dongzhi carefully leaned over and reached out to touch it.Little Jingba seemed a little nervous, and his body shook obviously, but he didn't escape.Ling Dongzhi couldn't help being in a good mood, "I'm here to look for you. I have a friend who is a pet doctor, and he will be driving to Chongqing for a trip in a few days. I want to ask him to take you there to find your original owner. How about you?" Do you remember any clues? Your original owner's address and phone number?"

Little Jingba's eyes were round and full of disbelief, "Is what you said true?!"

Ling Dongzhi nodded heavily, "It's true. I've already made an agreement with him, and he agreed to take you away."

Little Jingba sniffled, "When someone from the master's hometown called, I saw the number displayed on the phone, but... can I really find my home just by knowing the phone number?"

Ling Dongzhi comforted it, "I can call your master first, he told me the address, and I will let my friend take you on the road. OK?"

Little Jingba's body was shaking non-stop, and through the flashing headlights, Ling Dongzhi saw the water in its eyes flashing, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed, "My friend is a very good person, you will Like him. I promise."

Little Jingba whimpered, his voice was long and soft, it sounded like he was crying.

Ling Dongzhi picked it up, "Hey, don't cry, I'll see your family soon."

Little Jingba was shaking non-stop and could hardly speak.

Ling Dongzhi patted its head, feeling a little worried, there are still a few cats nesting on the balcony of his house, if Little Jingba fights with them, he doesn't know who will suffer.Well, nine times out of ten, this little foreign guy was beaten up by the little ones together.

Or you can give it a bath first, and then make it a sleeping place in the corner of the living room.In this way, there is a glass door blocking them, and they can't fight even if they want to.

"Let's go, go to my house first." Ling Dongzhi squeezed its paw lightly, "Take a rest for two days, make your body stronger, and then go out with the doctor. Well, I have to prepare something for you." Things used on the road, rice bowls, basins, blankets, etc. Is there anything else you want to take away?"

Little Jingba shook his head tremblingly, "The plaque on my neck is left by the original owner. Except for this, there is nothing to take away."

Ling Dongzhi took out the dog tag around its neck and touched it. The two slightly raised characters on the round tag read "Xiao Mao", and there was a string of phone numbers underneath, but the numbers were so small that they couldn't be read.

"Your name is Xiao Mao?"

"Yeah." Little Jingba rubbed his hand, "It's the name my master gave me. He said that when I first delivered it, I was small and fluffy, like a little ball of fur."

Ling Dongzhi smiled and said, "It's a cute name. Xiaomao, come with me."

Xiao Mao said, "Okay."

Looking at this scene, Zhuang Zhou didn't know whether he should go out, hesitated for a while, or turned around and returned to the car.Li He was playing with his mobile phone. When he saw him coming back, he quickly sat up straight, glanced at him quietly in the rearview mirror, and saw that Zhuang Zhou was asleep with his eyes closed, so he relaxed again.

How could Zhuang Zhou have the time to pay attention to these small details, his mind is full of images of Ling Dongzhi holding the little Jingba and muttering.In the next second, this picture overlapped with another picture: Ling Dongzhi was sitting on the sofa, Brown Tang was sitting on the carpet opposite him, and the two of them were back and forth... arguing.

Zhuang Zhou suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart, and all these f*cking things follow everywhere.Is it because I think too much?

But then the scene of those wild cats following Ling Dongzhi into the car appeared in his mind, as if they were with him, no matter if they were cats or dogs, they were all special... very sensible.

Zhuang Zhou heard the car door open and opened his eyes just in time to see Ling Dongzhi's smiling eyes.

This person usually has a calm expression and a very shallow smile. Now he can see that he is very happy.Zhuang Zhou looked down and saw the dirty stray dog ​​he was holding in his hand, feeling a little complicated for a while.

"Found it? Is that it?"

Ling Dongzhi nodded vigorously, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "This is Xiao Mao. Come on, Xiao Mao, say hello to Uncle Zhuang."

Xiao Mao glanced at Zhuang Zhou timidly, then shrank back.

Ling Dongzhi patted its head reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Uncle Zhuang is fine."

Zhuang Zhou sighed resignedly, "Where are you going to take it?"

"Where else can I go?" Ling Dongzhi felt that this question was asked very strangely, "Of course it is back to my house. I will send it to the doctor when I leave with the doctor in two days."

Zhuang Zhou thought for a while, "Why don't you take it to my place. Let it be with Brown Sugar. Your place is small, with cats and dogs. If there is a commotion, the neighbors will complain."

"Can it work?" Ling Dongzhi was a little unsure, "Your brown sugar is not so easy to talk to."

Zhuang Zhou's heart was racing, but his face remained calm, "Talk to it. Although it is a bit naughty, it is not a child without sympathy. I will agree."

Ling Dongzhi was not sure that he could make sense of brown sugar, "I'm afraid it will make trouble."

Pets are very possessive of their territory.Ling Dongzhi had just gone to have a meal, and it began to suspect that he wanted to be its stepmother.Let alone a four-legged guest now.No wonder it didn't go crazy.

Zhuang Zhou clenched his fists secretly, "It's okay, after all, my dog ​​has a complete set of things. You can talk to Brown Tang carefully, and let him give some of his own things to Xiaomao. Anyway, Xiaomao is just a guest, and he doesn't know how to use it. Live at home for a long time. You can also play with it during the day."

Ling Dongzhi was still a little worried, "Then go and have a look first, if it really disagrees, I'll take Xiaomao back to me."

Zhuang Zhou took a deep breath, "Okay."
