only in this mountain

Do you want to say that Jiang He regrets it?That must be regrettable.

But does regret work?In the past, he was evasive and refused to face it. In less than fifteen days, he had in vain the memory of everything Zhang Huai had done for him, but he had left him nothing.

A fool knows that he should grasp every minute and every second when he should have it, and he is not as good as a fool.

Telling Zhang Yunde about his next plan, Zhang Yunde was silent for a while, and didn't say anything else, but promised to help him deal with the things left at his aunt's house when the time came.

The day before his departure, Jiang He had been playing around with the second idiot, and said some words that the second idiot could not understand. In the cognition of the second idiot, he might have had the concept of parting, but he thought he would see each other again, so he told It is like a bone buried in the soil, although it forgets the exact location as soon as you turn your head, maybe it will be dug out by it inadvertently one day.

During this period of time, he wanted to see Zhang Huai more, but his grandmother passed away a week ago. Zhang Huai had already made some mental preparations when he went to see his grandmother in November, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.The people in the village were thin, and there were not many complicated things. After cooking, Zhang Huai came back.When he appeared in front of Jiang He dressed in black, although he looked the same, he felt even more lonely. Jiang He thought of Huiyuan for no reason, his heart throbbed, and he felt extremely sad.

"Is everything packed?" The voice was still very steady, without any emotional fluctuations at all.

"Okay." Jiang He nodded, picked up his backpack and went out.

The second idiot had already been sent to Xiao Moru's home, there was no scene of reluctantly saying goodbye, he took one last look at the closed wooden door, and silently said goodbye in his heart.

The two arrived in the city after one o'clock in the afternoon. The weather forecast did not predict rain in the city in advance, and the rain was not light. They didn't bring umbrellas, so they didn't have too much choice in time, so they had to find a small hotel near the train station. , The room facilities are basic, but the air conditioner makes a whirring sound but there is not much warmth.

"Maybe it will be warmer in a while." With this in mind, the two of them didn't even think about changing rooms. They simply tidied up and went out for lunch again.

The ticket at six o’clock in the morning, nothing to do in the afternoon and evening, two people fighting landlords, both lacking one, and it’s raining non-stop outside, it’s not convenient to go anywhere, finally Zhang Huai said: “Teach me how to draw .”

Zhang Huai has a little foundation in painting, and can draw some animals, musculoskeletal and so on. Jiang He has drawn some real estate streets.

The happy time is always very short. Because of the cloudy sky, it will be dark after five o'clock, but the rain has stopped.

Every city has a snack street that gathers local characteristics and flavors from all over the world. Although the economy of City G is not developed, it can be regarded as a well-known tourist city. The two elders have no interest in shopping, it is almost natural The land was brought there along the flow of people.

The previous rain did not stop the enthusiasm of the vendors in the snack street. The gorgeous lights made the dazzling array of goods more colorful and attractive.

There were not many people in one store, but there were various voices. When I walked in, I realized that it was a flower and bird store. Birds of all colors were flying up and down in the cages. The noise was not felt by ordinary people, but Jiang He felt it. It's like being in a huge gathering.In such an environment, he saw a white animal lying in the iron cage at the door, with light brown miscellaneous hairs on its limbs, pointed face and round ears, very similar to the original shape of his neighbor Huang Shirt, but it was much better-looking up.

"This ferret is the last one, and it will be sold at a discount of [-] yuan. When it is sold out, the store will be closed." The owner thought that there were two customers, so he hurried out to say hello.

Jiang He ignored the owner. Seeing that the little mink didn't care about the chirping of the birds, he stuck his fingers into the cage and poked the little mink on the head. Going crazy in a second, Jiang He's savagery startled him, and threw the cage out with his hands.

What was even more unexpected was that the cage door opened somehow, and the mink quickly got out of the cage and escaped in full view.

Jiang He: "..."

"You let my mink go, and you lose money!" The shopkeeper held onto Jiang He, refusing to let go, his eyes were a bit man-eating.

"Hahahahahaha, another idiot!"

"That's right, it's an idiot, it's so funny, hahahahahaha..."

"Idiot, don't take a good look before touching it, the cage door is not closed at all!"

"Has it developed to the point where it's so obvious that people can be fooled? At least it's better to use dim sum..."

"No, I see the cage that the bald head brought back. The cage door should be specially made. It looks the same as the normal one, but it can be easily drilled out of it. The ball often runs out to play by itself at night."

"Hahahaha, is that so, but I still really want to laugh, you guys are shocked to see that..."

The birds yelled in one go, and amidst the jeers, Jiang He gradually realized that he had been tricked by that cute little animal and the owner of the shop.

When did such a high-end deception come about?Will the mink that ran away come back?

Zhang Huai didn't know the truth of the matter, so he pretended to pay money to quell the fight, but Jiang He didn't stop him, and argued a few words: "Your cage door is not closed at all, who knew it would suddenly become so fierce..."

There is no way to use the words of the birds as evidence.

But you can't just suffer from being dumb like this, it's not easy for anyone to make money.

Jiang He didn't leave in a hurry, and pulled Zhang Huai to watch from a distance. After almost an hour, he heard the birds in the flower and bird shop buzzing like they had exploded. The deceitful Bad Mink appears on the shopkeeper's counter.

The shop owner's expression also changed, it was the first time he met someone with a carbine.

"The ferret didn't run away! I've already given you the money, and now I'm going to take my ferret away!" Although the owner of the shop is tall and big, Zhang Huai behind him is not a softie, let alone he is standing up now. He spoke loudly to the owner of the shop without fear.

"What's yours? I'll return the money to you guys. I won't sell this mink!" The owner of the store is not good at dealing with emergencies. Besides, he must have done this kind of thing many times. This is the first time he has been caught. Shi Shi looked flustered, and he didn't deny that this was the same little animal as the one in the cage just now.

"You have already collected the money. I like this ferret very much! Please sell it to me!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged the ferret.

The owner of the store locked the drawer, and before he could open it in a hurry, he saw Jiang He holding Diao and running out quickly, pulling Zhang Huai.

"Hey! You can't buy and sell by force! I want to call the police!!"

Jiang He didn't care about him, and it wasn't because he bought and sold by force first, if he hadn't understood what the birds were saying, he would have been taken for granted, and who knows how many people would be deceived again in the future.

"How can you do this? This is called helping the evildoers."

Panting and running straight for half an hour, Jiang He stopped after confirming that the tall but obviously capable shop owner could not catch up. After he recovered, he whispered to Mink's head.

"Hmph!" Unexpectedly, the mink knew the answer.

Jiang He felt that this little guy might be able to understand human language and communicate with him. He was a little curious about the origin of this little guy, but no matter how he teased it next, the ferret never spoke again.

Zhang Huai watched quietly and didn't disturb him. Seeing that Jiang He wrapped the ferret in a scarf again, he didn't know whether he was worried about the ferret being cold or afraid of being seen by others, so he asked him: "Do you really want it? But how to take it to the train?" up?"

Jiang He said "ah". He never told Zhang Huai that he would not come back after leaving. Why would he ask such a question?Thinking about it again, Zhang Huai is not a fool, he made so many arrangements and didn't deliberately avoid him, it's not normal for him not to know.

"Don't take it away," but it can't be released. What if it runs back or is caught by other bad guys?Later, I will ask what is going on with it again, "How about you help me raise it first?"

Perhaps he felt a little sorry for Zhang Huai. After all, he left nothing else for Zhang Huai. He let down his sincerity for nothing. Before he left, he still threw him such a trouble. It was beyond reason and reason: "Let's forget it." ……let me think again."

Zhang Huai said, "Yes."

They went to a store specializing in pet supplies to buy a cage for the ferret, and then they went to find a place to eat. When they came out of the restaurant, the weather changed again, and the rain was mixed with fine snowflakes, which fell to the ground.

The rain was not too heavy, and the snow was invisible once it hit the ground, but when the two returned to the hotel with their ferrets, their hair and clothes were still mostly soaked.

The air conditioner was blowing, and the temperature did not rise for a long time. Zhang Huai went to tell the aunt at the front desk about the situation and wanted to change rooms. The answer she got was that there was no room available, so she had to temporarily lend her own heater to them for one night.The front desk was not closed in this cold weather, Zhang Huai couldn't bear to see an elderly aunt suffer from the cold, so he returned empty-handed.

"Then take a hot bath to warm up. Put your clothes on a chair and let them dry in front of the air conditioner." Jiang He can understand. A/C for sleeping.He went to take a bath first, and when he came out, he saw the ferret tilting his head in the cage and watching the moving pictures on the TV intently, while Zhang Huai looked at the ferret curiously.

I glanced at the text in the lower right corner of the TV. It was very old-fashioned and literary. It seemed that the male and female protagonists were telling each other their hearts.

The pet mink has a high IQ, probably much smarter than ordinary house cats and dogs, but Jiang He doesn't think Zhang Huai will doubt that the little guy in front of him can understand human speech.As soon as Zhang Huai entered the bathroom and closed the door, without blowing his hair, he turned off the TV and released the ferret from the cage to the bed.

"Tell me, what's going on? I know you can understand me."

With no TV to watch, the ferret slowly closed its eyes and looked as if it were sleeping.

"Why are you so obedient now? There is no response to poking. Is that shopkeeper telling you to lie? He can also understand the voice of animals?"

The ferret yawned lazily.

"Hey, do you have a name, I heard those birds call you Yuanqiu, how about I call you Qiuqiu?

"You are called Yuanqiu. You can understand those annoying ghosts, and you naturally know that they are laughing at me. Are you really a fool?"

"I think a round ball is very suitable for you. It's cute to curl up in a ball. If you don't like it, then don't call it. Do you have a name?"

"No."

"Let me get you one, how about calling it Snowball?"

"...Is there a difference?"

Yes, for him, this is the highest level of his naming. The pets he raised in the past were named Benben, Agua, Xiaohua... and Erfool and Haha.

"I can understand people's language because of my father. My mother told me that my father is an unusual pet mink. She has never seen a wild and intelligent pet mink like my father, but my mother is pregnant with me and me. After my brother, my father suddenly disappeared. My brother and I can understand human language. My mother only had time to tell us that we are also different from my father. My brother and I were sold to different places. I tried I ran away, but after running away for a while, I was still not used to living alone, so I ran back. Gradually, I discovered that I am different from other pets. I will not grow old, and I will not die when I reach the age. It is said that our physique is a key research object. Once discovered, it will be dissected. I can only stay in different places. But I am also tired of being sold here and there. The bald man always scolds me. I ran away, didn’t know where to go at night, and came back to the store. He suddenly became very kind and kept feeding me delicious food. I thought he would not really sell me for a while, so I stayed. Come down and help him earn money.”

"You are not helping him make money, you are cheating money, which is wrong."

"What's wrong? I just need to eat enough and sleep well. What does your business have to do with me?"

It’s okay to have an irresponsible father, the three views are not in line with the core values ​​of socialism, shouldn’t it be a monster who became a spirit after the founding of the People’s Republic of China?

Jiang He has little experience, and so far he has encountered not many animals that can understand human language. Xueqiu looks calm, as if this kind of situation is very common, and it is not surprising why he can understand what it is saying .

"Aren't you afraid? Why can we communicate?"

"Why should I be afraid? Since my father can be an extraordinary ferret, there must be someone who is an extraordinary person. There are so many wonders in the world. If you have to think about everything, if you can't figure it out, then don't think about it."

"Then can you take shape?"

"Avatar is like changing into a person or something like you see on TV?"

Jiang He nodded sharply, a little looking forward to seeing Xueqiu turn into a human being. The soft voice might be a girl, he hasn't seen a female monster yet.

The next second, Xueqiu immediately poured cold water: "No, what are you doing in shape, do you think you look good?"

A monster that can't even transform into a shape can't make any big waves, maybe even a monster, it's just a little bit "unusual" than ordinary pet minks.Jiang He's interest in Xueqiu suddenly decreased, and he turned on the TV again to let him watch TV. After blowing his hair twice, he got into bed.

"Stay away, don't hurt your eyes." He greeted Xueqiu, but Xueqiu didn't take his eyes off the TV screen for half an inch, but slowly stepped back to Jiang He's side, and Jiang He touched his body , as warm as a hot water bottle, but I don't care about its temperature.

"You can go to his house with Zhang Huai tomorrow, he will treat you well. After ten or eight years, if you are tired, you can also go to the mountains to practice. There are other mountain elves in the mountains, you will not be alone .”

Xueqiu didn't have the mood to talk to him, and just watched TV by himself, but nodded vaguely.

Jiang He used his mobile phone to transfer 500 yuan to Zhang Huai, and did another very immoral thing. He cleared the records on Zhang Huai's mobile phone. Zhang Huai's mobile phone was placed on the bedside table, and there was no password lock fingerprint. What, tell Zhang Huai directly that he will definitely not agree, so he can only be sneaky like this.

I took a photo of the ferret watching TV and posted it on Weibo, and the phone on the bedside table rang at the right time.Jiang He was originally a very curious person, neither reason nor morality could restrain his desire to glance at it.

It was also a coincidence that just as Jiang He was about to click on the Weibo that he paid close attention to to see if it was posted by him, the bathroom door was opened and Zhang Huai came out.

After being caught doing bad things, Jiang He blushed in embarrassment, looking at Zhang Huai at a loss.

"Why don't you blow dry your hair?" Zhang Huai didn't care at all, and sat next to Jiang He with a hair dryer.

He was neatly dressed, his hair was still wet, and his body smelled warm, wet and sweet after taking a shower. The same shower gel they both used was a one-time travel bag in the hotel. I didn't feel much when I used it. There is a greasy feeling that exudes from the body.

Zhang Huai helped Jiang He blow dry his hair, and when it was half dry, Jiang He woke up from his daze and reminded Zhang Huai: "Aren't your clothes wet too, take them off and put them on a chair to blow dry... Be careful not to catch a cold. Zhang Huai responded, but continued to move without stopping.

The sound of the hair dryer drowned out the dialogue in the TV series, and Snowball glared at them displeasedly, praying that they would end quickly.

Jiang He had mixed emotions in his heart. He moved his gaze out of the window and saw large flakes of snowflakes flying around, like flocks of white butterflies under the dim light.On a slightly poetic cold night, the old air conditioner and the hair dryer echo each other. He is sitting under the quilt, but his hands and feet are getting colder and colder.

This night is also the eve of parting.
