Solstice Secrets

"Why do you look like a pervert?" Xiao Hui obviously couldn't understand his logic, and the perplexed look was evident in his beautiful cat eyes, "Many people stay up late at night. Last time I caught mice and ran to the alley behind the night market , I saw a lot of people walking up and down the side of the road, wearing shoes with slender heels, and they almost stepped on me, meow."

Ling Dongzhi almost spat out a mouthful of blood.Just because he didn't experience it himself doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. Behind the East Street is the famous night street in the Binhai area. Xiao Hui actually used these wandering warblers standing on the street as examples...

"No." Ling Dongzhi has always regarded his identity as a people's teacher as very important, and he doesn't want the police uncles to think that he is a scum wearing the appearance of an educator, "Why don't I send it anonymously. Ah, no "The police can find him out based on the fingerprints he left on the drawing paper, right?Wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain by then?

Xiao Hui anxiously scratched his cushion with his paws, "Can't you say you're taking a walk? You can't sleep or something. Don't you always say you're looking for... for inspiration?"

Ling Dongzhi felt that his face was about to twitch.Stay up late at night and go out for a stroll to find inspiration?It's not like what an artist does, it's like a psycho.

"Let's say it like this," Xiao Hui's voice softened, "Just say you saw them running over while you were walking, isn't that okay?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at it for a while, rubbed its head and sighed.He has never been resistant to cute and coquettish animals, besides, what Xiao Hui begged him to do now is indeed a good thing for everyone.Let such dangerous elements go outside, maybe there will be another victim.

Didn’t the old man in Spider-Man say that with great ability comes great responsibility.If he just pretended not to know, Ling Dongzhi would not be able to pass the test of his own conscience.

I heard that when Ling Dongzhi was walking in the middle of the night looking for inspiration, he accidentally saw the escaped robber, and the police comrades in the room all looked at him like crazy.When this person first appeared, they were really amazed. They didn't expect such a beautiful person to have a brain problem.

Xiao Wu, a film policeman, was also a little embarrassed, coughed twice, trying to save Ling Dongzhi's image, "Mr. Ling is a painter, and his works often win awards. It's amazing."

A room full of police comrades withdrew their gazes and silently slandered the artist, they were all alien creatures.Only the team leader Zuo He continued to look at him with great interest, "Teacher Ling will give us portraits now?"

With a mouthful of old blood stuck in his heart, Ling Dongzhi silently took out the sketchbook from his backpack and began to draw portraits of the two criminals.

Ling Dongzhi's appearance is still very deceiving, especially when he sits down quietly with a paintbrush, his usually slightly sensual mouth is tightly pursed into a straight line, and there is a very shallow and very deep hole on the left cheek. Shallow dimples.Thick long eyelashes hang down, like a pair of flapping little wings, blocking the slightly indifferent sight.His eyes and hair are slightly lighter than the average person's, especially those tea-brown eyeballs, which have a watery and clear luster, and everything seems to be separated by a long, long distance.

Almost like an angel.

The comrades in the police are somewhat relieved.Judging by his professional posture, he is indeed an artist.Well, artists are all eccentric, and going out for a walk in the middle of the night doesn't seem so strange.Maybe people can find inspiration for creation only in the dead of night.

Police officer Xiao Wu also breathed a sigh of relief.Mr. Ling came here to help the police solve the case on his own initiative. If he was laughed at, he would feel sorry for such a good comrade.

These days, how many people are willing to gossip about themselves?

Ling Dongzhi didn't know who to turn to for clues at first, so he called him first.Because the case happened in the teaching area, Xiao Wu had to cooperate with the criminal police team to solve the case, and he was having a headache these days.After hearing Ling Dongzhi's words, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately took him to the criminal police brigade to find Zuo He.

Zuo He and Wu Chenggang were classmates at the police school, and they were assigned to the Municipal Criminal Police Brigade together after graduation.Later, Xiao Wu was injured when he was on a mission, so he retired to become a police officer, but Zuo He stayed in the criminal police brigade.This person is actually not very old, but he has dealt with criminals all year round, and his already tough facial features are becoming more and more cold.However, whenever the case progressed, his expression softened, just like now.

"Great." Zuo He took the two sketches of characters from Ling Dongzhi, and his thick eyebrows stretched, "Xiao Chen, hurry up and make a copy."

Ling Dongzhi hesitated for a moment, and then fabricated some clues, "Well, Captain Zuo, there is another situation. When that fat black man ran over, I smelled a smell on him... um, oily smoke."

Zuo He immediately understood the meaning of his words, "You mean, this person might be a chef?"

Ling Dongzhi shook his head, "It tastes like a food stall. Grilled chicken wings or kebabs..."

"I understand." Zuo He patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you, Comrade Painter. Xiao Wu, you are responsible for sending the person back, and we will contact you if there is any situation." People are gone.

Ling Dongzhi was afraid that he would hinder the actions of the police, so he hastily dragged Xiao Wu out.

Xiao Hui lay restlessly on the passenger seat, seeing them coming back, her blue eyes widened.Ling Dongzhi patted its head and gave it a comforting smile.

Xiao Hui rubbed his palm, and meowed softly.

A few days later, Zuo He called Ling Dongzhi, telling him that all the criminals in the robbery case had been captured, and affirmed his act of providing clues, and finally offered to invite him to dinner to express his gratitude.Ling Dongzhi was not very interested in having dinner with strangers, so he politely declined.

After this incident passed, Xiaohui became more cheerful. When Xiaomai was away, it would wander to Lingdongzhi's house for a dinner of fried small yellow croaker or simply sit on the balcony of his house. sleep for a while.The beautiful blue eyes are always open and half open, and the half tail is slowly swaying back and forth behind him.Ling Dongzhi always felt that Xiao Hui seemed to be lazier than before.

Ling Dongzhi feels a little uncomfortable every time he sees it like this, he knows that Xiao Hui is getting old.Converted to human lifespan, Xiao Hui is almost fifty.Ling Dongzhi really wanted to keep it captive at home like this, but he didn't dare to say it.Because Xiaohui is a very proud guy, once before he heard Ling Dongzhi muttering that he wanted to find a new owner for it, but he didn't show up in front of him for three whole months.

Ling Dongzhi knew what it was like to lose an animal friend around him.When I was young, my family had a Shar Pei. He was a good-natured guy, and he always followed him around in the fields without making a sound.Later, he went crazy because he accidentally ate a poisoned mouse, and was beaten to death by his neighbors.That was the most tragic night in Ling Dongzhi's childhood memory. Across a courtyard wall, the barking of dogs, the shouting of adults, and the muffled sound of sticks hitting flesh were intertwined, like an event that would never be forgotten in a lifetime. nightmare.

Except Lingdongzhi, no one knows that it is not really crazy, it is actually just screaming for pain.The poison was burning every healthy cell in his body, and he just... couldn't stand the pain.

But no one could save it, not even Ling Dongzhi.

He could only curl up in the shadow under the courtyard wall with a towel in his arms, weeping silently.

It was at that time that Ling Dongzhi's personality became indifferent, and he began to keep a distance from everyone consciously or unconsciously.Because he finally realized that everyone in this world was out of tune with him.Except for him, no one can understand the language of the animals, no one can understand their emotions, and they will not understand that for him, they are not just a pet to play with him, but is a true friend.

Therefore, no one in this world will truly understand him.

The author has something to say: Well, the heart of the winter solstice is very lonely.

This kind of loneliness is destined to be unsolvable
