Mr. Cat

Life in the mountains is not difficult, and Sima Zhan, a Taoist priest, is also very casual.Sima Zhi followed Sima Zhan to run up and down all day long, going up the mountain to chop firewood, and down the mountain to fetch water. If he was lucky, he would run into a few fat hares, and even have a meat and tooth sacrifice.

"Zaizhuo, how old are you?"

There are few moon stars in the night sky tonight, and Zai Zhuo wants to bask in the moonlight on a whim, which is called absorbing the essence.Holding a bead in his hand, Sima Zhi followed obediently.They said they were basking in the moonlight, but they were actually roasting rabbit meat on a bonfire. Today they went up the mountain to cut firewood and caught a few silly rabbits, which grew big and fat.Now the bamboo cage was placed at his feet, and the rabbit in the cage was listless, as if he knew his ultimate fate.

Zai Zhuo was holding a cattail leaf fan, sitting on a stone with a big saber and golden horse, fanning the fire unhurriedly, when he first heard this question, he blinked his eyes and said slyly: "Practitioners don't know their age."

Sima Zhi was in a daze: "Oh, oh."

Seeing his stupid look, Zai Zhuo laughed again: "Why do you believe in everything? Are you really 19 years old? Are you only three years old?"

"Nonsense!" Sima Zhi said angrily, "I'm about to lose my crown."

"What are you doing with a rock?" Zai Zhuo stopped teasing him, caught a glimpse of the round pebble in his hand, and asked casually, "Do you want to hatch an egg?"

Sima Zhi shook his head, "I don't know what it is, but did it come out of my clothes?"

"You haven't lost that clothes yet?" Zai Zhuo picked up the machete beside him and began to cut bamboo branches. "You are so young, why are you dressed in plain clothes? It looks so unlucky, as if you just crawled out of the grave."

Sima Zhi didn't say anything, his dark eyes were focused on watching Zai Zhuo kill the rabbit and let the blood out.Zai Zhuo said that he was actually right, he crawled out of the grave.He is an undead who has returned from the underworld and returned to the world.But he only remembered his name was Zhi, and he forgot all his past, and he didn't even know how long he had been dead.

"Angry?" Zai Zhuo raised his eyes.

Sima Zhi quickly shook his head: "No."

"Hold your little rock well, maybe you can hatch a bird." Zai Zhuo joked.

Sima Zhi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Zai Zhuo swore: "Have I ever lied to you?"

Three months later, one morning, before dawn, Sima Zhi excitedly rushed to Zai Zhuo's bed with a baby bird in his arms: "Zai Zhuo, look! A baby bird has really hatched!"

With messy hair, Zaizhu propped up the bed with one hand, his eyes were dull: "..." Why did the bird really hatch?

Sima Zhi's eyes sparkled: "Zai Zhuo, can we raise it?"

Zai Zhuo lifted the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, scratched his hair, and agreed: "Of course."

The chicks were born just like chickens, except that their down feathers tended to be more golden. Within a few days, the chickens grew up several times like blowing a ball. Zaizhuo looked at the grain tank and was heartbroken: "You chicken is too good!" Eat it, let it find worms to eat by itself, and be self-reliant!"

Sima Zhi had no choice but to run up and down the long steps every day, put it outside the mountain gate in the morning, and bring it back at noon.The chicken cub is also very competitive, and is full every day. Even if Zai Zhuo dangles millet in front of its eyes, it will never give it a look.

"Zai Zhuo, it doesn't seem like a chicken..." One afternoon, when Zai Zhuo was peeling bamboo to make a cage, Sima Chi, who was sitting next to him, said suddenly.The chicken cubs are growing fast, and the beauty of the future can be vaguely seen from the tail feathers.

Zai Zhuo raised his head and glanced at the golden bird that was pacing up and down on the floor tiles, "Which chicken can empty the grain tank after three days?"

Sima Zhi glared at him: "Don't turn over the chicken cub's old account."

"Tch." Zaizhuo snorted disdainfully, he neatly weaved a bamboo cage, and suddenly asked, "Azhi, do you want to read?"

Sima Zhi was stunned for a while, and then said pleasantly, "Can I study?"

"Of course I can. Anyway, I'm from a famous family." Zai Zhuo seldom mentioned his family, only said that he was ignorant and did not seek to make progress, and the elders in the family wanted to marry a great lady on his behalf.When Zai Zhuo heard this, he ran away in fright. His grandfather was furious and sent someone to arrest him.

"Is there really no problem?" Sima Zhi asked worriedly.

Thinking of his furious grandfather, Zai Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and said uncertainly, "There shouldn't be any problem."

The day after Zai Zhuo said this, he was ready to leave.Sima Zhi hugged the grown chicken cub and watched Zai Zhuo eagerly as he left. Since he returned to the world, except for the first few days, Zai Zhuo was always by his side.The tall figure suddenly disappeared, and Sima Zhi felt sad for no reason.

He stood at the end of the long steps, behind him there were dense pines and cypresses, and the palace was majestic, but when he looked around, he was alone.

Zai Zhuo didn't know how long he would be away. Sima Zhi didn't want to sit alone and forget to watch. He sat in the Taoist temple for a whole day with nothing to do. The sun rose and the sun set.He wanted to go back to his grave and find a trace of his life.

……

"What did you dream about?"

Louis' thinking was still a little slow, he blinked, and there was a dull pain in the back of his head.He hissed, and sat up halfway, covering the back of his head.Under the warm light, the sharp lines of Lu Wu's face softened.Louis was in a daze, unable to distinguish dream from reality for a while.

"I dreamed of a Taoist priest," Louis said, "his name is Zaizhuo."

The spring water of each other is pure and turbid.Sima Zhan, Zai Zhuo, and Louis looked at the tall man beside him and laughed softly: "Mr. Cat, have you always been so gentle?"

"Of course not," Lu Wu replied quickly, "My personality is not gentle."

Louis stretched out his hand, hugged Lu Wu tightly, and said in his ear, "Well, you have a bad temper and like to tease people."

Lu Wu looked at him, the young man's hair was sticking to his ears obediently, he buried his face in his neck, his breath was full of nostalgia.Lu Wu also stretched out his arms to hug him, clasped the young man's back with his palms, and formed a protective posture. He whispered dissatisfiedly, "Where have I ever teased you?" The light and slightly bitter taste of Louis was in his nose, Like the fragrance of grass and trees.

Lu Wu himself was also extremely confused. There is no doubt that he liked staying with Louis, and he also remembered every detail of getting along with Shan Shi, but he couldn't remember anything if he wanted to pursue it further.He seemed to be in the mist, holding a chain in his hand. He held the chain and watched the chain move forward and finally disappeared into the mist.He wanted to search, but was blocked by an invisible barrier. The feeling that the truth was in front of him, but he couldn't reach it, made Lu Wu often feel irritable.

"How long do you intend to go west?"

Louis said in a low voice, "Always be prepared. I also want to stop by to visit Victor. He has been yelling for a long time, saying that I don't care about him at all, and I don't want to take the initiative to find out where my father lives." He imitated vividly With Victor's resentful tone, even Victor's accent was also imitated in place.

"I'm afraid I can't be with you," Lu Wu was considered a black household in the world, without an ID card, and couldn't help but feel depressed.

Louis smiled and patted him on the cheek: "You can become a gray civet cat, and I'll help you with a pet consignment."

Xue Ling's cold energy lived up to its reputation, and after Xie Liusheng's soul was frozen, it stopped collapsing.Xie Ling told Louis the password of Xie Liusheng's house, and Louis would go to Xie Liusheng's house every day to check on his situation.Xie Liusheng tidied up diligently. The windows in the house were always bright and clean, and the decorations were well organized. In the past, there were elegant screens and curved water, but now the owner of the house has fallen into a deep sleep, the curved water has dried up, and the screens have been put away. The tranquility created by Xie Liusheng has disappeared. Disappeared.

"Aliu," Louis said, looking down at Xie Liusheng's calm face, "maybe I can find a way to save you when I regain my memory."

Xie Liusheng's current identity is still unclear, and his situation is also difficult. Louis has no way of preventing his soul from collapsing.I don't know why it collapsed?Second, I don't know what is the relationship between him and Jianmu?Mr. Weichen, Xie Sheng, kept his mouth shut and refused to reveal anything. Lu Wu, who was beside him, also kept silent about this matter. He could only hope that there would be clues in his forgotten memories.

"Sorry." Lu Yi held Xie Liusheng's hand, filled with guilt.

After bidding farewell to the sleeping Xie Liusheng, Louis was ready to go home to pack his things and embark on a journey to Europe.In fact, as early as a few days ago, Theodore had talked to Louis and asked him if he needed his own guidance.Louis said that Zhao Qingjun's parents are busy with work, so I am afraid they still need Theodore's care, and he has other arrangements, so there is no need to bother him.

Theodore didn't say any more, leaving a sentence that if he changed his mind, he would come to him again, and left quickly.

Before leaving, Louis made a special trip to Guangdu Middle School.

The teachers and students are already on winter vacation, and the school building is empty. It is late winter, the vegetation is withered, and the air smells of ice chips that are unique to winter.The tall blue fence has been dismantled long ago, and the main road has been repaired overtime. Naturally, the trails in the bamboo forest are not treated so well. There are few people there, and the school does not plan to open the library any more, so it can only be left there. Unfinished project.

At the end of the straight main road is the tall osmanthus tree.

This osmanthus tree is about ten meters high, with deep green branches and leaves, and it does not lose half of its height in the cold wind.Louis looked up at the crown of the tree, but didn't notice any evil spirit, as if it was just an ordinary tree among thousands of trees.

Lu Wu turned into a fat lihua and followed him, and looked up together with him: "It seems that the demon I felt before is not an osmanthus tree."

Louis nodded silently. When he didn't have any good memories, he only smelled the strong fragrance of osmanthus, and saw the tall and straight outline of the osmanthus tree in the dazzling white light.Thinking about it now, is the osmanthus tree he saw really the one in front of him?Back then, Lu Tanchuan personally planted this sweet-scented osmanthus tree here, facing Bodhi far away.
