only in this mountain

There are thousands of miles of clouds, white snow and thousands of mountains, the cold and humid air is lingering, and the sun at noon has no temperature at all.

It snowed for five consecutive days, and the temperature dropped day by day. Jiang He thoroughly experienced what it means to be bone-scratching cold. Twice, he forgot to drain the water in the water tank at night, and the water pipes were all damaged the next morning. frozen.In the past few days, he has never been within a hundred meters of the two houses except to see haha.He heard the music from the other side of the village that only sounded when people passed away, and he couldn't help guessing whose old man had passed away. Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, whether it's lamenting or sadness, the dead are gone The living should be like this.

However, sometimes transparency and optimism may be just because of staying out of things.

He is very fussy about matters related to himself.

Zhang Huai came to see Jiang He, and he insisted that he was not cold, and then he was not seen for several days.He understood that he had absolutely no position to blame Zhang Huai, but Jiang He was still very unhappy. The result of his unhappiness was that he didn't want to go out, didn't want to move, as if he felt that the whole world had abandoned him.

After all the snow had melted, the sun gradually warmed up, but this was already several days later.

Jiang He took the quilt out and planned to hang it on the clothesline to dry, but just as he threw the quilt from one end to the other, the rope suddenly fell from the wall.

"Aww, it smells so good, it's the next time! The second time!" The second idiot ran out of the living room happily, and greeted the people who appeared at the gate of the courtyard with joy.

He poked his head out from behind the quilt and took a look. Although Jiang He felt a little turbulent in his heart, he retracted his head calmly, intending to carry the quilt back into the room first.

"Let me come." Zhang Huai put the basket on the stone table out of the reach of the two fools, and walked towards Jianghe.

Jiang He retreated again and again: "No need."

However, Zhang Huai just walked to the end of the clothesline where the clothesline fell, picked up the nails that had fallen from the ground, and asked Jiang He, "Do you have a hammer?"

Jiang He carried the quilt into the room and put it on the sofa, found a hammer for Zhang Huai, watched him nail the nails to the wall again, and tried to pull a few times, but the nails did not budge before stopping.

"Have you had breakfast?" I took out the contents of the basket after washing my hands. There was a big bowl of bone broth bibimbap for the second idiot, which seemed to have chicken, and a plate of crispy meat, a plate of fried dumplings, and a few pumpkin buns. It was for Jiang He.Zhang Huai's house doesn't eat these often, and it seems that some guests have been there.

Jiang He said against his conscience, "I've eaten."

Zhang Huai sighed, didn't say anything else, put away the basket and planned to leave: "I still have to see Xiao Ze off, so let's go first."

The quarrel was to see how much he cared about himself, but he never thought of letting him go so soon, and his unhappiness was written all over his face, his cheekbones got a little dust somewhere, and he looked aggrieved like an innocent man. The poor little cat that people want.Zhang Huai quickly wiped the ashes off his face with his hand. He thought that Zhang Huai was pinching his face viciously again, and his eyes widened.

"Don't be angry, eat well, and wait until I come back to see how Haha's injury is recovering."

"you……"

"I know you didn't send it away."

Too much Zhang Huai didn't say whether he agreed to continue to raise it or raise it for a while before putting it back in the mountains. He didn't give a definite statement, but Jiang He felt that he had compromised in front of him—he was also very nervous these days. Be nervous.

He was like this, when Zhang Huai ignored him, he felt a gap in his heart, and when he was too kind to him, he wanted to escape. His heart was full of contradictions and guilt, and he didn't know what to say.

The cold weather didn't affect Haha's body's recovery speed. Its condition improved a lot, and its eyes gradually became clearer. Although Jiang He was a little disappointed, his amber eyes were extremely bright under the sun, and he stared at him without moving. He's still very handsome when he's on.

Haha, seeing it again, seeing it lying in the yard with the two idiots basking in the sun, Jiang He was also full of gratitude to Zhang Huai, and smiled a little more when talking to him, but still deliberately kept a certain distance from him.

"Why did you send Zhang Yuze off in the morning? Are you going back to school?" Jiang He's curiosity is actually quite strong, but he doesn't have many things that the two of them know together. He doesn't like Zhang Yuze very much. He even splashed water on him once, but Zhang Huai seemed to be very kind to that boy.

It can also be said that he is jealous, that Zhang Yuze is pretty good-looking, and Zhang Huai is always called Ozawa Ozawa...

"It's not going to school. Ozawa's mother passed away. My dad originally wanted him to go to my house, but he didn't want to stay because there is no place worth cherishing in the village. He wanted to go to the outside world."

Jiang He probably knew what was going on with those voices a few days ago, but he was still very strange: "Why did the mother die suddenly? Is it a cancer attack?"

Zhang Huai shook his head: "No." He didn't want to tell Jiang He these things, let alone tell him the specific details, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and there are never so-called secrets in the village. As long as Jiang He stays here, he It is possible to know the dirty crimes that happened in this village.

"It was killed."

Jiang He opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Who is it?"

"It may be Zhang Erbai, but he is missing now, and no one knows what happened that day."

"What about Zhang Yuze, it's impossible for him not to know..."

"He doesn't know, his second uncle always beats him, so he often hides by himself."

"But he's only 15 years old. Where can he go if he leaves the village alone?"

"He insisted on leaving. Even if he is not allowed to leave today, he will leave one day. I gave him some money and left him my phone number. If you can't stay outside, call me."

It's freezing outside, so I have to wait for the weather to warm up before leaving.Just a moment ago, he was slightly dissatisfied with Zhang Yuze, but now he couldn't help worrying about that boy again.This world is really impermanent, and God's arrangement is too embarrassing.

"By the way, I called you before, and your phone was shut down, why didn't you charge it all the time?"

"Huh? Shut down? I didn't receive a text message to remind me."

Because no one called him all the time, and he basically didn't call, and he had long forgotten about the monthly mobile phone rental.As for not receiving the reminder of insufficient balance, it is probably a problem with the communication company.

"What are you calling me for? When did it happen?"

"It's nothing, it's over."

"Okay. I don't use my mobile phone to make calls very much. Why don't you add me on WeChat. If you have something to say in WeChat in the future."

Zhang Huai’s WeChat avatar is a cat, I don’t know if I found it on the Internet, or a Persian cat, with a flat round face and long white hair, squatting there with his head slightly tilted, round eyes innocent and cute .

"I didn't expect you to use a cat as your profile picture." He just said casually. After all, he has never seen anyone around him own a Persian cat in real life. He heard that this kind of cat is very noble, and ordinary people can't keep it well.

"There used to be a lot of stray cats in the school, including some rare breeds. This cat likes to bask in the sun outside the laboratory building, and occasionally teases it."

"It's so good that you can touch it. The stray cats in our school are very fierce. They roll over when they want to eat, touch them when they are full, and bite people. Once they went back to the dormitory with me and almost ate my little cat. Hamster."

He saw Zhang Huai's profile picture getting cuter and cuter, and couldn't help but say, "I want to raise one too when I have the conditions."

"You just love all cute creatures. If you had the chance, you'd probably open a zoo."

It was the first time Zhang Huai joked with him, but he wasn't surprised. He just felt that his heart was filled with something called happiness.

As soon as Jiang He was in a good mood, he began to actively paint again. In the evening, his inspiration exploded, and he fell into a daze as soon as he started painting. He painted until the second idiot arrived in the country of cats. The king was a Persian cat. It told the second idiot Jihan There is a direwolf in the land of the world that is controlled by the evil demon king. Whenever it snows, it will come to the cat country to wreak havoc, hoping to rescue the controlled direwolf together with it.

After painting, he felt a little ashamed. Others couldn't find it, but he clearly knew what the Persian cat and the direwolf represented respectively.So he didn't post on Weibo, packed up and went to bed.

Tossing and turning, just about to fall asleep when I heard rustling sounds from the corner of the room.

"Look at what you eat, no wonder you are so thin and small."

"What I eat is not the same as what you eat. We are mice. Because we are not cute, no one likes them. We have never seen anyone take the initiative to feed us. We have to hide and hide every day. It is good to have something to eat. Now, why are you so picky?"

"There is no harm if there is no comparison. The human beings in the place I stayed before were good. Although they didn't take the initiative to feed them, they ate a lot. They slept in the pile of peanuts and beans. They ate red bean cakes and mung bean cakes, and sometimes they could drink soy milk... ...I really miss it..."

"Okay, the mouse will have the life of the mouse, if it is so good, you will come here?"

"Didn't I tell you that there was an accident? Except for me, all the other brothers and sisters were arrested, and I don't know whether they are alive or dead now..."

"Don't be sad, Jishu has its own nature. I gave you this bigger biscuit. I secretly hid it a long time ago. The dog dare not come to this room at night, so you can eat it slowly."

"Crack, click, click, click..."

The two mice ate and chatted for most of the night. Jiang He didn't beat the mice, but it didn't mean he didn't bother them either, so he planned to clean the bedroom and the living room.

Seeing him lying on the courtyard wall, Huang Shan was only wearing a sweater and rolled up his sleeves, and asked him while yawning, "What are you doing? Pack up and plan to slip away?"

Jiang He gave him a blank look: "Skating, the ice has melted."

Huang Shirt grinned, and Xiaoyuan's eyes gleamed brightly: "Is that going to fly with your man?"

"Why are you talking nonsense all the time? You're watching me every day. You're the one who doesn't want me to go the last time, right?"

"I'm not afraid of you leaving, just go, anyway, I don't care."

"Then I'll leave tomorrow, far away, and you won't be able to find me when I die."

Talking to Huang Shan was like a child bickering. Jiang He didn't hear Huang Shan's counterattack after speaking, put away his waving broom and prepared to go in to sweep the floor, and then saw Zhang Huai standing at the door blankly.

Zhang Huai looked surprised and stunned: "You want to go?"

The dead weasel, the stinky weasel, was tricked by him!Jiang He blushed a little with anger, shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's still early."

Zhang Huai didn't say a word, seeing that he was still carrying the medicine box, Jiang He asked him again, "Do you want an injection?"

"No injections, the weather is better today, take a medicated bath for Haha, the second idiot often stays with Haha recently, and also take a bath to prevent cross-infection of the skin."

The second idiot who just got up from the nest and wanted to jump towards Zhang Huai seemed to understand a bad word for him, and fled into the house with his tail between his legs.

"You do your work first, I'll go heat the water."

Now that we have decided to raise this wolf for the time being, we must be responsible for it. Zhang Huai shaved Haha’s newly grown hair shorter, and the infected part of the skin is densely covered with red spots. The most serious part is still faint pus phenomenon

.

Jiang He looked at it with his head, and he had to say he was a little disillusioned. He went back to the room with a complicated mood, and just moved the bookshelf to sweep the corner inside, when a round, unidentified creature with shiny hair jumped over from the inside, startling him. Immediately yelled.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah what is this? It's so scary!" I don't know if the master's emotions infected the second idiot. The second idiot hid behind the sofa and saw the chubby creature running straight towards it and was caught. Its cry frightened the creature and rushed back towards Jianghe. Jianghe was afraid that the thing would bite him, so he threw the broom away, and the thing turned around and ran towards the second idiot again.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Huai didn't have time to dry his hands and ran to the door a few steps. At a glance, he saw clearly what it was that was running around in the room and frightened everyone and a dog to bark. "Don't be afraid, it's just a mouse."

"Oh my god! Why are mice so big!" It's okay if you don't say it, but it's even scarier if you say it. Whose mouse looks like a cat!

"Second idiot, catch it!" Such a big mouse will turn upside down, he can't afford it!

The second idiot is scared, he has never seen such a big mouse when he grows up to such a big size, he only barked in a bluff, Jiang He casually picked up the paper on the table and threw it out, the paper flew around, and the mouse slipped to the other side stepping on his instep went.

"Ahhhh!" Jiang He yelled even more fiercely than the second idiot, and almost jumped to Zhang Huai's side, but the second idiot suddenly became brave at this moment, with short short legs like flying, chasing him quickly Rats are running around.

Jiang He: "You idiot, over there! Why are you so stupid! Drive it into the yard... Ahhh, why is it coming here again! Don't let it come here!"

He danced vigorously here, and when he was nervous, he still held Zhang Huai's clothes tightly, while Zhang Huai held him calmly, thinking about how he would react when he found out about this situation.

Jiang He was very slow, or he was so flustered that he didn't know what he was doing just now. When he gradually realized something strange, it was the big mouse that had disappeared and the second idiot was guarding the cabinet and barking non-stop. He wanted to leave He moved the cabinet away in the past, turned his head to meet Zhang Huai's eyes, and at that moment he sighed how beautiful it was, and then found that their current actions were a bit too discordant.

Two legs were wrapped around his waist, one arm was around his neck and the other hand was holding onto the skirt of his clothes. Zhang Huai's left and right palms supported his buttocks firmly.

And...and Zhang Huai...reacted...

Getting off Zhang Huai with his face flushed, Jiang He almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to slip in, but he didn't dare to look at Zhang Huai, his heart was beating wildly and he couldn't hold back, so he ran to the yard alone.

"Teacher Xiaojiang?"

What day is it today, should I be embarrassed?

Xiao Moru came to Jiang He to discuss the purchase of sketching practice books and still life plaster statues. After all, no matter how much theoretical knowledge is taught, it will not work without practice.It's actually a bit late to tell about this now, but Jiang He was only mentally prepared to teach for a month.Jiang He discovered that some children were really talented and loved to draw, which encouraged him a lot, so he mentioned this to Xiao Moru.Xiao Moru can easily handle the easels in the studio. If you need professional knowledge, it is better to ask Mr. Xiaojiang for advice.

"After so many years, I don't know what good basic books are available online, but I don't know what the content is. Is there a library in the town?"

"There is no library, but there are one or two second-hand bookstores, all of which sell cultural textbooks. If you want to read other books, you have to go to the bookstore in the city."

Jiang He has been here since the end of June, and now it is mid-December. Except for the time when he went to get glasses, he has never seen the big world of the bustling city. It's easy to move in the middle.

"Mr. Xiaojiang, how many dogs do you have? Every time you come back, you see different ones." Xiao Moru's eyes were attracted by the ugly Haha who was shaved in the yard, and continued to say, holding back a smile, "Dog's They also have a lot of self-esteem, and the fur is actually their clothes, and without their shiny appearance, they will be depressed."

In the past, although Haha was thin and not at all like a wolf, he still had a fierce spirit. After shaving his hair, he was bald except that his eyes were still fierce and hostile, but he lost his intimidating aura.

"It can't be helped, it's also for its health, as long as you don't laugh at it." Jiang He was afraid that it would be cold, so he went over and pulled off the blanket from the chair and covered it with Haha.When he turned around and saw that Xiao Moru stopped looking, haha, but kept staring at himself, he couldn't help feeling a little creepy.

"Principal Xiao, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing, the sweater Mr. Jiang is wearing today is very nice."

He is wearing a dark green turtleneck twisted sweater today, which Zhang Huai took him to buy last time. He is relatively white, and the dark color makes his face more delicate, and his slender neck perfectly shows off the high collar. Advantages of sweaters.Zhang Huai seems to have one too. After all, this sweater can only be regarded as the basic style of a thick-line sweater.

"The streets are already rotten, isn't it good-looking?"

"Pants are nice too."

"what?"
