Not too many out of four

"Hello, Zhongye? Zhongye!"

The force of pushing and shoving from his shoulders brought back the young man in ecstasy. He restrained his wandering look and turned to look at the young companion beside him: "What's the matter?"

The companion showed an exaggerated and strange expression: "What's the matter, you're the one with the problem, right? We've called you so many times, why are you in a daze during the meeting?"

Zhong Yuanzhong was also stunned for a moment, and turned to look at the boys and girls scattered nearby, sitting or standing, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be distracted to think about other things during the internal meeting where the council decided to act after the sheep.

In late autumn, the boy wearing a dark blue turtleneck sweater felt a headache and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night."

"Are you having nightmares again?" The boy who reminded him just now showed a clear expression, "Is it okay to always be in a trance like this? Are you going to the pharmacy to find some medicine?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also pursed his lips subconsciously, and refused stiffly: "No, I'll go to rest first, and just tell me the results of the meeting when the time comes."

The children on Leibo Street don't have the concept of going to the hospital to see a doctor and buy medicine seriously. What they say is that they go to the pharmacy to find some medicine and come back to take some medicine casually after seeing the effect of the medicine.

Children who grew up in slums did not have much opportunity to receive education. In their crude concept of growing up and living, having nightmares and being in a trance are not a big deal, as long as they are not sick or injured, life-threatening things are not serious.

It was only because Chuya Nakahara was the one who had the nightmare that he was in a trance that he would make a "well-intentioned suggestion".

"Shirase, don't you have a better relationship with Chuya?" The young man couldn't help complaining: "What's the matter with him recently? He's in a daze in a meeting, and he's absent-minded when talking to him, not knowing what he's thinking."

The king of sheep is always absent-minded and in a trance, and they worry that he will lose his mind in battle.

"If you're so curious, ask yourself, I'm not Chuya's nanny." Shirase rolled her eyes and said angrily.

Zhong Yuan is not a baby who can tell him everything, but there is no need to worry about holding on to him when he has nightmares.

"We continue to hold meetings. It's not impossible for the Council to hold one less person."

……

Zhong Yuanzhong was also a little annoyed and wanted to grab the collar of the sweater and tear it open, but he hesitated to put his hand down on it.

He didn't know why he didn't want to treat the sweater roughly, for fear that his rough hands and feet would tear the sweater.

He didn't even remember when he bought the sweater, he only vaguely remembered that it was very important that the clothes should not be soiled or damaged at will, obviously he was more used to wearing wear-resistant clothes like jackets.

It’s not that there is nothing wrong with sweaters, it’s just that it’s not suitable to wear this kind of soft clothes that are not resistant to dirt in places like Leibo Street. He always needs to fight and fight. Gunpowder smoke, dust and blood are all pollution that can easily stain sweaters things.

It seemed that the clothes couldn't stand washing several times. He originally wanted to put them away in the closet, but the sheep's companion saw that he always kept the clothes and didn't wear them, so he wanted to ask him to borrow them.

Zhongyuan Zhong also naturally knew that the loan within the organization was basically borrowed and never repaid. If he borrowed other clothes, he would borrow it, but he was not willing to wear this sweater himself, so how would he lend it to a companion who would not cherish it.

After tangling and hesitating, Nakahara decided to wear it by himself.

At least he will take good care of it, and will not dirty his clothes at will or throw them away at will.

"Does the person in the dream really exist?" Nakahara Nakaya put his hands behind his head and stared at the dirty ceiling, lying on the narrow bed board and even turning over, he had to be extra careful, a slight movement could make people fall get out of bed.

It is normal that there will not be any good furniture in the organization base formed by minors spontaneously. Their beds, tables and chairs are broken furniture picked up by others and dragged back to repair and continue to use. It is said that Zhongyuan Zhong is also here After living here for eight years, I should have gotten used to everything here.

But these days, he fell out of bed when he turned over while sleeping soundly at night. He didn't even realize why he fell down. Subconsciously, he felt that the bed was a place where he could roll and roll at will without falling off.

But the place where he sleeps is obviously narrow and not more than one meter long. The bed is simply covered with not too thick and warm sheets and bedding, and he needs to be extremely careful when he sleeps.

The strange things didn't stop there. Looking at the dirty ceiling and the interior of the base, he had an inexplicable urge to clean everything here.

If he hadn't thought about going out to patrol and protect the sheep that day, he would have been so busy that he might have picked up the broom and mop and started cleaning up the dirt in front of him.

For the first time, the base where he had lived for eight years made him feel so strange, as if he hadn't been back here for several years.

Even seeing the familiar faces of my companions felt like a world away, and I almost couldn't remember their names.

Nakahara also closed his eyes, trying to divert his attention away from the ceiling, and began to recall everything he saw in his dream.

Although his companions thought he was frightened by having a nightmare, Zhong Yuanzhong also knew that he was a person who could not dream.

...Normally, he hasn't had any dreams in the past eight years.

Recently, however, he always dreams about strange places and strange girls. He can be sure that those are places he has never been to, and he has never seen that girl with a cute smile.

At first, he thought it was a conspiracy of some supernatural person, wandered around Leibo Street and even Yokohama, but couldn't find any supernatural person who could manipulate dreams.

Not only can the supernatural beings not be found, but he can't even find the girl in his dream.

Zhong Yuanzhong also made up his mind to catch the person, and began to leak information about his nightmare intentionally or unintentionally, but after a month or two, he still didn't see the supernatural person or the girl in the dream appear.

He gradually began to change his mind, maybe this is really just an ordinary dream.

It's just that the dream seemed too real and too gentle. When he woke up from the dream, he still clearly remembered the girl's soft whispers when she gently caressed his fur.

Yes, Zhongyuan in the dream also turned into a cat.

A shivering cat hiding in a cardboard box and picked up by a middle school girl on a rainy day.

He knew that the girl's name was Li Jia, a timid and gentle girl who lived in the town of Heping Ding Town.

Every night in his dreams, he would become Li Jia's lively and active cat, and she would call him softly and softly, "Mr. Zhongye."

With a delicate, shy and lovely gentleness in his eyes, he will always worry about him, always pamper and pamper him. When he sees him getting into trouble in the form of a cat, he will only be angry for a while, and then helplessly clean up the mess for him and hold him The paws reasoned with the cat.

Just seeing her frowned helplessly and worried in his dream, his heart couldn't help beating wildly, and even the roots of his ears started to feel hot and red.

He wanted Li Jia to focus more on him, but in the dream he couldn't control his actions and whereabouts, he could only experience everything passively.

The little cat who is also called "Mr. Zhongye" will go out for a walk all day long, and when he encounters a stray cat or dog, he will go up and provoke him, so that Zhongyuan Zhongye can't understand his behavior at all.

His senses are connected with those of "Mr. Zhongye". The cat can hear Li Jia's approaching footsteps, smell her gentle and light breath, and feel the comfort of her fingers gently stroking the fur.

A very special and wonderful feeling made him care about the girl in his dream.

Originally, he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep, but slowly as he recalled the girl in the dream, his spirit slowly relaxed, as if he was immersed in comfortable warm water and fell into a dark and familiar dream.

……

Zhong Yuanzhong is also very clear that he is dreaming now.

After all, no matter how slow his development was, it was impossible for him to be only a little taller than his shoes.

He wanted to turn his head left and right to observe the surrounding area, but he couldn't control the cat's actions in the dream, so he could only squat obediently in the porch with his ears upright when the familiar footsteps gradually approached: "Meow!"

It seems that everything is the past that he has experienced and cannot be changed.

"Mr. Zhongye?" The girl who opened the door was very surprised. She sat down by the porch and didn't rush to change her shoes, but patted her thigh: "Mr. Zhongye, come over to my sister."

Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't help but blush, and was called her sister by a 14-year-old middle school girl...

He is 15 years old, Li Jia should call him brother.

And how can you just jump on a girl's lap, even a cat can't just take advantage of someone like this.

I thought so in my heart, but Nakahara Chuya's body still stepped on his paws happily, jumped on Li Jia's legs and raised his tail energetically: "Meow!"

"Mr. Zhongye is such an obedient child," Li Jia stretched out her hands to gently wrap around the cat's body, raised her nose against him, and whispered softly, "I didn't go out to play today, but waited for my sister to come back at home. "

Good, so close.

He was so close that he could clearly smell the light fragrance of Li Jia's hair, and hearing her soft and sweet words flow into his ears, the cat's ears trembled, and his sight met her blue eyes, which were more magnificent and changeable than the ocean, and almost drowned in them.

Zhong Yuanzhong also wanted to twist his body and struggle to get out of her hand, but the cat in the dream didn't do what he wanted, but stuck out his tongue and licked the place where Li Jia touched his nose just now.

His cheeks flushed even more, and he felt that if it weren't for the cat fur to cover his face, his face would be very red now.

"Does Zhongye-jun like the little clothes made by my sister?" Li Jia put down the cat again, and carefully helped him straighten the neckline and skewed position of the cloak.

It was only then that Zhongyuan Zhongya realized that he was wearing clothes today. Ever since he became a cat in his dream, he had almost gotten used to the days when he didn't need to wear clothes to cover his body with cat fur.

The cat lowered its head and looked along Li Jia's fingers arranging the small clothes, and he happened to be able to see part of the clothes.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also shocked when he saw the fresh pink and blue color. He never thought that when he still wore this color, the front slit looked like a cloak.

Just a powder blue cape with a hood, any color as long as you don't wear a tutu.

Inexplicable thoughts slipped through Nakahara Chuya's mind. He was a little surprised why he suddenly thought of tutu skirts, and even felt that it was natural to wear clothes made by Li Jia.

"Meow! Meow!" The little cat raised its head and yelled a few times, jumped off Li Jia's lap and walked a few steps before looking back at her.

"Does Mr. Zhongye want to take my sister somewhere?" Li Jia tilted her head in doubt, changed her shoes and followed the kitten's footsteps.

Not to mention that Li Jia was curious, even Zhong Yuan Zhong also wanted to know where this guy was going.

Although the cat he possesses is not big and its legs are a bit short, it trots very fast, and its limbs are also very explosive in jumping. It can easily jump up steps that are a bit high for cats.

Following the cat's perspective along the way, you can clearly see that the place where Lijia lives is a luxurious bungalow. The two-story building is too dazzling just by the furniture.

Looks like a kid from a rich family.

Zhongyuan Zhong also casually looked back, he once again realized that Li Jia and him are people from two worlds, even if it is really possible to recognize her with the cat thing, it is not necessary.

What Li Jia is familiar with is her beloved cat, not some kid in the slums who can't even live a stable life.

"Is this the bird Zhongye-jun discovered?" Li Jia bent down to look at the bird on the window sill whose wings were injured and fluttered wildly.

The injured bird wailed and tried to fly again, but the injured wings could not support its weight.

Zhongyuan Zhong also panicked. He suddenly thought that the little cat always likes to fight with stray cats and dogs when he goes out. Could this bird also be the trophy it brought back to Li Jia?

Girls on Leibo Street would probably be very happy to bring it for extra meals, but girls living in the city will only feel sad when they see an injured bird, right?

They have no shortage of stuttering, and they would probably be more inclined to let go or cure the bird than to eat it.

Li Jia gently picked up the bird and carefully observed the wound on its body.

The more Zhong Yuanzhong thought about it, the more he felt flustered. The stupid cat he leaned over wanted to claim credit from Li Jia, so he raised his tail and meowed.

She didn't teach it a good meal, and she wanted to use this bird to claim credit, this stupid cat!

"This little bird..."

He raised his heart a little bit, hoping that Li Jia would stop blaming this stupid cat, after all, it also wanted to give her a gift.

"Did Zhongye-jun rescue him?" She frowned, touched his head with a smile, and encouraged him: "Zhongye-jun is such a good boy, he will take the injured bird home."

The little kitty raised its head triumphantly, and exclaimed, "Meow!"

Zhong Yuanzhong also froze for a moment, relaxed and relieved his mind, and at the same time, he was a little curious why Li Jia thought it was a bird that the cat picked up when it saw the injury instead of the bird it caught.

Isn't it natural for cats to catch birds?

When most people see a bird thrown by a kitten at home, they will think it is the prey it brought back instead of asking Lijia to help treat it, right?The bird doesn't look big, but it's more or less fleshy.

Or Li Jia has a special filter for her cat, thinking that it will not harm birds at will.

The little cat raised its tail to keep up with Li Jia's movements, which just happened to let Nakahara Nakaya watch the whole process, and he slowly realized that Li Jia's praise of the little cat was not just saying something blindly and casually.

She justifiably praised the bird when she discovered that it was not the proof that the kitten jumped down.

The dark brown speckled feathers are mixed with some fine dead leaves. There are no cat scratches or tooth marks on the body surface, only slight traces of injured and deformed wings.

This is really an injured bird picked up by the little cat from the grass. In the eyes of Nakahara Nakaya, the silly cat who only knows how to wander around all day also knows how to bring back the injured "patient" who needs treatment to Li Jia.

"I can only do this for the time being." Li Jia closed the medicine box, found a clean box to put the bird in, added some simple food and water basins, and put the box back where the kittens often stay.

With slightly cool fingers gently stroking the top of the cat's head, Li Jia put her chin on her cheek and said with a smile: "The little bird will ask Chuya-kun to take care of it. Until it fully recovers, Zhongye-kun must protect it well."

"Meow meow!" The little cat squatted up and responded with great interest.

……

In the dream, he didn't know the passage of time, and Zhong Yuanzhong only felt that not long after, he woke up from the dream and saw the ceiling of the base.

He propped himself up and sat up, touched his nose in a daze, and seemed to be able to smell the shampoo on Li Jia's body.

"Are you awake?" Shirase, who lived in the same room with him, asked without raising his head when he heard the movement.

Nakahara Chuya didn't respond for a long time, Shirase looked up in surprise, and saw that their sheep king had changed his usual mature and indifferent appearance, his face was flushed and his eyes were a little fluttering.

"What's that expression on your face? It's so disgusting." Shirase said with a speechless expression of disgust, "That guy Jiro said you were having a nightmare, I think it's a erotic dream."

Who would wake up after a nightmare with this expression, a young man who is out of his mind.

"Who, who had a dream!" Zhong Yuan Zhong also raised his voice with guilt: "It's just a dream of something incomprehensible."

"Oh?" Shirase was dubious, but he didn't care about Chuya Nakahara's dreams, "Last time you asked me to find someone named Kudo in the Yokohama Concession, and I found it."

Zhong Yuanzhong also sat up straight, and quickly asked, "Did you find it? Where do you live?"

Shirase put away the gun, looked him up and down suspiciously: "Chuya, you can't be..."

Showing too much nervousness and eagerness to attract the attention of his companions, Nakahara Chuya tensed up and quickly thought of an excuse. He didn't really want his sheep companion to know what happened in his dream.

He tries hard to persuade himself that this is his private matter, and that dreaming is also his own business. He will not let this matter affect the sheep, but just wants to confirm whether the person he saw in the dream really exists.

"Could it be that you are looking for a good adoption and want to leave the sheep?"

Shirase's panting almost didn't scare Nakahara Chuya to death. He replied angrily, "I won't go anywhere except sheep, and I don't need to be adopted by anyone. Tell me who have the surname Kudo."

These guys are suspicious every day, thinking that he will abandon his companions, completely leave the sheep and fly away, relying on the status of a supernatural person to enjoy wealth alone.

If he really wanted to leave, he would have had the opportunity to leave a few years earlier, so why stay here all the time.

"Che, there is a young couple who live near the city hall. The couple both work in the city hall. There are no children or old people in the family. The other family lives near the red brick warehouse. There is only an old man in his seventies and eighties and his wife The grandson, son and daughter-in-law who were only in elementary school died in the explosion eight years ago."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also unwilling to ask: "Is there no one else with the surname Kudou?"

The information Shirase investigated did not match what he saw in his dream. The Kudou house in his dream was located in a secluded street, surrounded by single-family houses, without any city hall or red brick warehouse, where there were many tourists.

"No," Shirase replied impatiently, "I said, why are you looking for someone with the surname Kudo?"

A surname like Kudo was rare, and it was already rare for two households to appear in Yokohama. Where would he go to find someone else with the surname Kudo.

"Didn't I say that I picked up a wallet and wanted to return it?" Zhongyuan Zhong also casually said something perfunctory, hesitantly and nervously asked: "Is there a girl named Li Jia among the two people surnamed Kudo?"

"A middle school student about [-] or [-] years old, with black hair and blue eyes, and a cat at home."

The more detailed he described, the more strange Shirase looked at him. The companion who picked him up as a sheep in the past looked him up and down, and said, "Chuya, you probably like girls outside, right?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also tensed his body, almost jumped up and shouted: "Who would like a woman who is so soft that she will cry when squeezed!"

"Oh...soft, you'll cry if you pinch it," Shirase dragged out his voice, and said flatly in his tense and embarrassed expression, "No!"

"There is no junior high school girl named Kudo Toshika."

Zhong Yuanzhong didn't know whether he should believe Shirase's words, he just suspected that he would leave Yang because of the girl outside Leibo Street, even if he really saw Li Jia, he might not tell him.

"Believe it or not, anyway, I've already told you the address." Shirase shrugged, if Chuya hadn't found him the one he wanted for a long time, he wouldn't have bothered to go out for a few days to find someone with the surname Kudo people.

"By the way, Chuya, the council has decided to attack the Takase Society's arsenal the day after tomorrow. You will also go?" The boy took it for granted, never thinking of using a group of them to attack a mafia who is a tall and strong adult. What's wrong with the arsenal.

Anyway, there is Zhong, so the action will never fail.

Zhong Yuanzhong was also silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I will go, but you also have to remember what I said before, only take what you need."

Shirase frowned in puzzlement, not understanding why Chuya, who used to go forward bravely, became timid, obviously having such a powerful hand and such a powerful ability.

"I still don't understand." He was a little bit dissatisfied and wanted to refute: "Chuya's ability is so strong, even if we take away all the bastards from the Takase Society, they can't do anything to us."

"Taking away all the weapons, Takase will definitely find a way to get them back." But only part of them was taken away. Seeing the strength of Nakahara Chuya, they would reluctantly swallow this breath.

It's just the weapons of a dozen or twenty children of sheep. It's just a drop in the bucket for the Takase Club's arsenal. Although it loses some face, the foundation and weapons are there. As long as they don't want to anger the "King of Sheep", they will naturally not come revenge snatch.

"They come if they want to snatch it, and Zhongya is so strong that he can easily beat them away?"

Zhong Yuan also shook his head, lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Shirase, I am not omnipotent, I cannot protect all the children of Yang at the same time, if Takase will take advantage of us to go out to attack Yang's base, the children who stay here will not Powerless against them."

"Just go back for revenge like before! They're too scared to come again!" Shirose shouted, poking his neck.

The boy's cobalt blue eyes looked at him quietly, and asked, "What about the dead child?"

Shirase froze, murmured and couldn't speak.

"Dead children will not be resurrected," Zhong Yuanzhong also smiled wryly, and said in a low voice, "No matter how powerful I am, I can't bring the dead back to life."

Shirase was speechless for a long time.

This seemed to be the first time Chuya showed weakness in front of them, saying that there was something he couldn't do.

No matter how powerful the ability is, it is impossible to bring the dead back to life. They have lost many companions because of the competition for resources, and now they have to sacrifice innocent children for extra weapons.
