loyal dog becomes cat

The water limit lasted for more than half a month, and the land of every family was not watered enough, and the corn seedlings were all slumped. The villagers were anxious to see the crops deteriorate day by day.

But there was nothing anyone could do about the drought. Money was raised and rain was begged, but except for a thunderstorm that lasted less than half an hour three or four days ago, God didn't even sneeze.

Compared with other lands, the situation of Ma Ke's family can be regarded as the best. Although it is not as good as the situation of previous years, it is barely passable. Eighty percent of the land at home is a piece of blessed land.

Even so, Dingbang was still frowning. He went to the field to weed weeds during the day, and when he came back, he said to Ma Ke, "Corn depends on water. It's so dry now that the harvest in autumn may not be good."

Ma Ke comforted him and said, "It's okay. There is still some food at home. Even if the corn crop fails, we can plant another season of wheat in winter. With the bean store in the city in the middle, we should be able to push through."

Ma Dingbang sighed: "I was not good at farming, and the crops at home were not as good as others'. Over the past month or so, I somehow just got better, and now... Sigh!"

"Don't think about it so much, do your best to obey the destiny, and do things as long as you are worthy of yourself."

Since the water restriction, Liu Xiaodong has resumed the habit of going out at night, but probably changed the date place, and Ma Ke never heard the voice of his concubines calling for spring.

The weather was extremely hot that day. At night, Ma Ke took a shower early and went to sleep. He didn’t know how long he slept. He was suddenly awakened by a loud cry. It came from the direction of the village head sluice.

The sound was getting louder and louder, and it seemed to be coming towards the village. Ma Ke felt a little strange, got out of bed with his clothes on, and opened the window to look. Is something big happened in general.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Ma was also awakened, and she and Madam Wu stood under the eaves of the porch and looked at it suspiciously.

Ma Ke straightened his clothes and followed out, saying, "I don't know...I'll go out and have a look."

"Farewell." Dingbang rushed out carrying a jacket, "I'll go, miss, you just wait at home."

As Ma Ke's female identity, it's really inconvenient to go out in the middle of the night, so he said: "Be careful, if someone fights, get out and come back quickly, so you don't get hurt by mistake."

"I can save it." Dingbang picked up the hoe and walked out.

The hustle and bustle outside was still there, and the whole family stood anxiously in the yard. After waiting for half an hour, Dingbang came back, and said as soon as he entered the door, "Someone stole water."

"Ah?" Marco was puzzled, "What water are you stealing?"

"Didn't our village and Wangzhuang take turns to open the sluice recently? Today it was the turn to open the sluice at the east end of Wangzhuang. I don't know who slipped into the dam in the middle of the night and opened the sluice on our side. Half night."

"Ah?" Madam Ma was surprised, "Who is so bold? Can anyone see clearly?"

"The man put water for a few hours, then sneaked to close the gate, was discovered by the people last night, hit a hoe, rushed to catch it, but disappeared in a flash, and he didn't even see his face clearly. I just saw a figure from the back." Dingbang said vividly, "It is said that the man is a very burly man, dressed very strangely, his coat is only as long as his waist, his hair is short, and his movements are extremely fast. Some people say that it may be from the mountains The goblins—how can ordinary people sneak into the house with the gates on the dam, the doors are locked, there are no windows, and there is a fist-wide crack in the wall."

Burly figure, weird clothes, short hair...

In an instant, Ma Ke's blood froze all over his body, his hands and feet were cold, and he grabbed Dingbang's arm: "What about others?"

"What?" Dingbang was taken aback.

"Where is the person who secretly opened the water gate?"

"No, I don't know." It was rare to see Ma Ke's nervous expression, and Dingbang said, "The people in the night said that the man was very fast. Even though he was hit by a hoe, he was still very agile. He slipped away before he could say anything, and it was only a blink of an eye."

"I'll go out for a while." Ma Ke walked towards the door without saying a word.

"A Ke!" Madam Ma was taken aback, grabbed his sleeve and said, "What are you doing in the middle of the night, why don't you go back to sleep."

"I'll come back after I go out to have a look." Marko said distractedly.

"Don't go, it's chaotic outside, there are too many people, and if the water thief is really a goblin, it's hard to guarantee that he won't hurt people, why are you joining in the fun, obediently go back to the house!"

Ma Ke was impulsive at the moment, collected himself, knew that he would definitely not be able to get out like this, and if nothing else would make Mrs. Ma worry, he compromised and said, "Yes, mother."

The family went back to their rooms to rest. After hearing Dingbang's description, Ma Ke was so distraught that he couldn't sleep, so he sat quietly by the window and waited.After a while, the noisy voices outside gradually disappeared, thinking that the villagers who were chasing and watching had probably dispersed, so they got up quietly, opened the latch and slipped out.

At this time, it was only after two o'clock in the morning, the night sky was clear, the moon hung high, the stars were shining brightly, and the village was quiet, except for a muffled bark of a dog.

The road in the village is rough and uneven. Ma Ke only had a pair of thin-soled cloth shoes on his feet. He stumbled all the way to the side of the irrigation canal. He saw that the edge of the sluice was dark and there was no one. Three of the four water outlets had been closed, and only one eye was still bubbling. The river flows.

The night wind was bleak, and the long hair that was hastily rolled up when he went out was blown away by the wind, and it was scattered on his face, but Ma Ke's heart was more chaotic than his hair.

There is nothing wrong, someone must have traveled through time, but who is he?Could it be Liu Xiaodong?

Maybe not?I have traveled here for more than half a year, if he is here, and he is near me, it is impossible not to show up for so long...

"Liu Xiaodong!" Ma Ke stood on the dam and murmured, "Brother Dong..."

No one answered, the only answer was the rush of the river flowing through the dam.

After standing on the dam for a while, Ma Ke sighed, and walked back while feeling the darkness.

After a while, I walked to the edge of my field and saw that the corn in the field had grown to more than half a meter high, and a gust of wind blew by, rattling.

Ma Ke stood on the ground in a daze for a while, his legs were a little sore, so he squatted on the field ridge, holding his knees and staring blankly at the dirt on the ground.

An unknown bug crawled out from under the grass stalk, and just two steps away, a large drop of dew dripped from the nearby corn leaf, and hit it with a "snap", stirring the bug into the ground. In a mass of mud.

The little worm struggled in the mud for a long time and couldn't go ashore. Ma Ke suddenly felt that it was quite similar to him. He was walking on the road well, but suddenly a disaster happened, and he was stuck in the mud, struggling endlessly, but he couldn't get out, pulling himself It's so sad to be alone with no one...

"Poor guy." Ma Ke broke off a piece of grass, and pushed the little bug out of the mud to the flat ground aside. The little bug flicked the mud on its feet, and Shi Shi ran away.

Marco felt better, clapped his hands and stood up.Because of squatting for a long time, he became dizzy and staggered for a while, stepped into the grass next to him, and was stunned when he fell to the ground. When he looked up, the cloth shoes were soaked through.

what happened?Ma Ke looked at the cracked land of Deng Liuniang's house next door, completely confused.

It stands to reason that it will be the turn of the sluice here to open tomorrow. The ground has not been watered for three days, and it has not rained recently. How can there be such deep water on the edge of the ground?Marco was puzzled.

Under the bright moonlight, Marco walked around his field, and was surprised to find that there was a very hidden ditch around the field.The ditch meanders from the sluice in the distance, it is very narrow, and most of the way is hidden among the weeds, and it is impossible to see it without looking closely.

During the day, Dingbang had just overturned the field, and the soil in the field was very soft. The river water from the culvert entered the field and seeped down. Because the amount of irrigation was well controlled, it looked dry on the surface. Once in the sun, you can't see that it has been watered at all.

Ma Ke was completely stunned standing in the field. The purpose of the person who stole the water was to irrigate his own field!

If he really came from time travel, if he is really a modern person, if he is so good at farming, can control the amount of water so accurately, and can help himself so desperately...

Besides Liu Xiaodong, who else would it be?

"Liu Xiaodong!" Ma Ke was emotionally agitated, and suddenly shouted, "Come out!"

The shout spread far away, and after a while, a sleepy old farmer got his head out of the earthen hut in the field next door, and shouted: "Who! What are you shouting in the middle of the night to make people sleep?!"

After seeing that it was Ma Ke, he yawned and said, "So it's you, Miss Ma, what are you doing alone in the field in the middle of the night, is it to steal water thieves? Don't worry about being a girl. Hurry up and go home."

Marco stood there blankly, speechless.

The old farmer scratched his head and persuaded him: "Isn't Liu Xiaodong your cat? Lost it? No way, that little thing is smarter than a monkey. I'm afraid it ran out to play. It lives in the field every day. I won’t throw it away, maybe I’ll go home to find something to eat later.”

Ma Ke sighed, nodded dejectedly, and said, "Understood, thank you uncle."

"Go back quickly." The old farmer waved his hand, went back to the earthen house and fell asleep.

Ma Ke returned home listlessly, fell on the bed but couldn't fall asleep, his temples throbbed, all his thoughts were tangled together like messy threads, and his mind became a mess.

After finally staring at the past, still unable to sleep well, dreaming that I have returned to modern times, and I am taking the exam for a psychological counselor. I don’t know which paper I made out of my brain, it’s actually in fucking French, and I don’t know a word.

Just as he was in a panic, when he raised his head, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, it became Shangdao Coffee, and the performance of the grand piano gurgled like a spring, gradually calming down his restless mood.

Looking up, Ma Ke was horrified to find that his ex-girlfriend Xiao Li was sitting on the sofa opposite, with exquisite makeup, and said ruthlessly: "Ma Ke, let's break up."

Hearing the word "break up", Ma Ke was stunned at first. He thought that he would be heartbroken and would rather die than die, but unexpectedly there was nothing, and he even felt a little relieved.

"I fell in love with someone else." Xiaoli said, "Do you still remember the Dr. Zhang who came to Dong Ge's birthday last time? The one who sang Jacky Cheung's song Thief, we have been dating for two months, and he got it last week." Offer, I plan to go to Berkeley to study with him."

"..." Ma Ke opened his mouth, not knowing whether to be happy or sad, his mood was quite complicated.

"I'm sorry." A faint apology floated on Xiaoli's face, "I shouldn't have kept this from you. It was my fault for cheating, but I was not at ease in the past two months, and I was quite hesitant. But yesterday Dr. Zhang He proposed to me, so... I decided to leave you, Marco, let's talk about it and break up."

"Congratulations." The language function finally came back, but Mako frightened himself when he opened his mouth. Shouldn't he say "don't leave me", "you bitches and men, die" and so on...

"You're a good person." Xiaoli took out a good person card, gently pasted it on Ma Ke's forehead, and said sincerely and earnestly, "But we are not suitable, and... after so long, you should understand that there are people who are better than me. love you more."

"What?" Marco was a little dizzy.

"You should think about it carefully." Xiaoli picked up her handbag and prepared to leave, "Who will show up when you need it most without exception, who will leave millions of lives to stand by your side without hesitation, who will ...will introduce someone to your girlfriend..."

"What?" Jiong Ma Ke grabbed Xiao Li, "What did you say? Who introduced you to someone?"

"Indecent!" Xiaoli opened her bloody mouth and yelled wildly, Ma Ke trembled in fright, the next second, Xiaoli suddenly transformed into Bruce Lee, and kicked him on the head with a sharp back swing, "Ah, hit— —”

"Ah!" Ma Ke yelled and jumped up, panting wildly for a long time before realizing that this was a dream. He had a splitting headache, groaned and fell on the pillow again, and murmured: "I'm so stupid, what a mess!" ..."

I was lying there to catch my breath, when I suddenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the gate outside.

Who?

Ma Ke was taken aback, and subconsciously felt that the knock on the door was related to him. Just as he jumped up and wanted to go out to open the door, the door of Dingbang's room next door rang, followed by his surprised voice: "Liu Xiaodong... miss, miss!"

Liu Xiaodong?

A bad premonition crept into his heart. Ma Ke touched his side, but the kitten hadn't come back, so he hurriedly got out of bed, opened the window and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Liu Xiaodong is dead!" Dingbang said with a black lump in his hand, "Who beat the kitten to death!"
