Bamboo Horse Cultivation Manual [Rebirth]

Chop the pork liver with a knife, get some soaked rice and stir them together to make pork liver bibimbap.Ye Li took the small bowl and set off for the park.

The puppy is still the same as usual, quietly staying in the small cardboard box and resting on its stomach.Seeing Ye Li appear, it stood up, wagged its tail, jumped out of the tall box, landed on the ground, raised its head and yelled at Ye Li.

"Wang!"

Ye Li put the food on the ground, watched the puppy running over to eat, Ye Li stretched out his hand to stroke its head.Occasionally, when the puppy feels comfortable being touched, it will stop its mouth, raise its head and move its little head to rub against Ye Li's palm, acting like a baby.

"Quick." Looking at the small bowl that was half eaten by the puppy, Ye Li gently pushed the puppy over and said, "Finish the food."

The puppy let out a long bark, and the meaning of reluctance does not need to be proficient in dog language to understand it.It's a pity that Ye Li was not born with many emotional cells, so he cruelly rejected the puppy's request to continue to be gentle: "Eat quickly."

Goumi had no choice but to give a low "Woo...", flicked his tail and continued to eat.

Seeing the contents of the bowl being eaten, Ye Li held the bowl and said to the puppy, "I'm going back."

The puppy barked "Woof~" and watched Ye Li leave.

Back at the door of the house, Ye Liyuan saw Gu Yu approaching from the front, and subconsciously put the bowl behind his back.

Gu Yu said, "Where have you been? I didn't respond when I knocked on the door. I thought you were sleeping."

Ye Li: "Go and take a look around."

Gu Yu said, "Is that so..." He quickly glanced at Ye Li's arm behind his back, and didn't ask further: "When Xiao Mu is coming back, I want to play basketball, please help me ask him to play basketball." Do not hit."

Ye Li nodded: "Okay."

......

At 01:30 in the afternoon, there was the sound of a car stopping at the door.Faintly familiar voices came to his ears, Ye Li quickly jumped up from the sofa, walked to the door with one stride and opened it.

Outside the door, Qiu Mu noticed the movement at the door, holding two packages in her hands, and looked back at Ye Li.Before the words were spoken, there was already a smile on his face: "Quick, come and help me put the things in."

The corner of Ye Li's mouth curled up with excitement, he trotted over and took the things with his hand.After taking a closer look at Qiu Mu several times, he felt that he seemed to be the same as when he left.

Then he turned his head and said to the old man, "Grandpa, you are back."

The old man went out for a trip, not only was he not tired from the long journey, but his complexion became much ruddy.

He patted the back of Ye Li's hand with his thin palm, laughed a few times, and walked Ye Li to the door together: "How are you doing at home these days, do you miss Grandpa... .”

Just like that, she forgot Qiu Mu in the taxi and left him to carry the luggage, and walked into the house with Ye Li.

Qiu Mu stood behind, smiled at Ye Li who turned to look at him, and followed with her luggage.

Ye Li looked at Qiu Mu, thinking that he would sit down and rest for a while, so he thought about fetching some water from the refrigerator in the kitchen: "What do you want to drink?"

But Qiu Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No, I'll go and see Xiao Yu first."

Ye Li paused for a moment, as if his mind was pulled away for a moment, and then he reacted and said, "Huh? Ah, okay...then I'll go talk to grandpa for a while."

Qiu Mu gestured "Then I'll leave it to you", and walked briskly away from Ye Li.

Ye Li pursed his lips, turned around and called Qiu Mu: "Wait."

Qiu Mu turned her head, with a smile in her eyes: "What's wrong?"

"..."

Ye Li: "Xiaoyu said, tell me to ask you if you want to play together later."

"That's it." Qiu Mu thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Ye Li lowered his head slowly, looking at the ground: "Mmm..."

I sat on the sofa with the old man and chatted for a while, talking about what happened these days.When it was time for dinner, Ye Li left to help in the kitchen, Qiu Mu opened the door and returned home, followed by Gu Yu.

When Gu Yu saw Ye Li, he laughed "haha" twice, and said, "Xiao Li, I was just talking about the fact that you couldn't pass the game for a long time!"

Aunt Huang cooked a large table of dishes to celebrate the return of the grandpa and grandson.As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, he smelled the aroma of vegetables all over the room, and ran over cheering: "A lot of delicious food! Aunt Huang, you are so kind!"

The woman happily put the dishes on the table: "Eat more if it tastes good."

Ye Li was helping to set the dishes, when Gu Yu came over, he handed a pair of chopsticks in front of him: "What do you want to drink?"

Gu Yu thought for a while: "Wanglaoji!"

Ye Li then went to the kitchen and took a lot of Wanglaoji from the refrigerator.

Qiu Mu followed Ye Li and said, "Don't take Grandpa's wine for now."

Ye Li stuffed the bottle back with the action of holding it, and only after he stuffed it back did he realize the reason: "You can't drink with high blood pressure, right?"

Qiu Mu nodded and said: "My parents asked me to bring a lot of things back. There are two boxes of 'drinks' for grandpa to relieve his alcohol addiction. Just go and get that—forget it, let me go."

Seeing so many things in Ye Li's hands, Qiu Mu changed his plan.

Holding things and leaving the kitchen with Qiu Mu, Ye Li asked from behind, "I haven't seen Xiao Yu for more than half a month, how do you feel?"

Qiu Mu walked in front, Ye Li couldn't see his expression clearly, but listening to Qiu Mu's voice, it should be very pleasant: "It's okay, technology is so convenient now, just make a phone call if you want someone. I feel like 'I haven't seen you for a few days, but the rain hasn't changed at all'."

Ye Li said: "How long has it been, of course it won't change."

Qiu Mu: "Really? It feels like you are more stable."

Ye Li: "Is there?"

"Yes." Qiu Mu: "I feel that you are not excited to see me back at all, eh, so sad."

Ye Li said: "Why am I excited. And you went to Xiaoyu's as soon as you came back, and you can't get excited even if you want to."

"Is that so?" Qiu Mu looked back at Ye Li, smiled and said, "Yes."

When he came to the living room, Ye Li put the drinks on the table and divided one bottle for each person.Qiu Mu found the old man's "drinks" and filled the glass in front of the old man.Everyone sat in their seats and happily ate the reunion dinner after half a month.

After dinner, Ye Li and Aunt Huang cleaned up the leftovers on the table.When Aunt Huang turned to wash the dishes, he took some meat from the remaining dishes, chopped it with a knife, put it in a small bowl, wrapped it in a plastic bag and put it in his pocket.

"Grandpa, Xiao Mu, I'm going out for a while."

After saying hello and getting the old man's consent, Ye Li turned and left.

Qiu Mu and Gu Yu sat at the back and exchanged a tacit look.

"Look, I said there is something wrong with Xiaoli. Every day at noon and night, I have to go out alone." Gu Yu and Qiu Mu whispered: "I thought Xiaomu and grandpa were not at home, but Xiaoli felt too lonely. That’s why it happened. I observed it secretly, and it didn’t feel like it.”

A few hours ago, when Qiu Mu was chatting with Gu Yu at Gu Yu's house, she heard Gu Yu talk about this matter.At first, he didn't believe that Ye Li would behave as weirdly as Gu Yu said, thinking that Gu Yu was thinking too much.Seeing that Ye Li really went out alone after dinner, he couldn't help but believe it.

"If it's after a meal, or for a walk to get some fresh air, he can call us, can't he?" Gu Yu said, "It's just that he doesn't dare to face us and wants to vent his emotions alone, so that's why..."

Imagine Ye Li walking on the street in the dead of night, sniffing his nose and crying while walking with the moonlight behind his back, Qiu Mu has a strange expression: "Impossible..."

Ye Li is not a child...ah no, he is a child, but he is not one of those children whose mood is changeable and who will cry when he is wronged.

Gu Yu insisted on her opinion: "No matter what, let's follow up and have a look. If it's just for a walk, then it's okay to go there together! Xiaoli won't say anything about us."

But if she really wanted to cry in secret, Gu Yu couldn't pretend that she didn't know, and didn't care about anything.They are good brothers, aren't they?

The arm was pulled up by Gu Yu forcefully, Qiu Mu could only stand up with the strength: "Okay."

The two opened the door lightly, poked their heads out to see the direction Ye Li was walking after leaving the door.

"It's over there in the park." Even though there was a distance of nearly [-] meters, Gu Yu still kept the volume down: "Let's go and have a look."

Qiu Mu nodded.

Like in the TV series, they hid behind telephone poles and vending machines, keeping a distance of more than ten meters, with only their heads sticking out, and followed closely behind Ye Li.

Gu Yu's expression was a little uncontrollable excited, this kind of stalking behavior made his blood boil unconsciously, and he almost had the words "so cool" etched on his face.

Watching Ye Li turn left and walk into the park, Gu Yu's eyes lit up, and he patted Qiu Mu's back hard: "Go in, go in! Xiao Li has gone into the park!"

Qiu Mu said: "Follow me."

Gu Yu hurriedly ran towards the park on tiptoe.

The two squatted under the small wall outside the park.Gu Yu poked his head out and looked in.

"How about it?"

Gu Yu was puzzled and said, "Xiao Li didn't play in the park, he went to the woods."

Qiu Mu frowned, becoming more and more confused.

"Go in and have a look, be careful, don't let Xiaoli find out."

Gu Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

The two bowed their waists, shrunk their figures, and slipped in from the park gate.

Gu Yu didn't make a sound, and pointed his finger in one direction. Qiu Mu understood it, and followed him into the woods.

After walking a few steps, the two saw Ye Li's back.

He took out something he didn't know what it was from his pocket, then lowered his head to look at the ground, and whispered something.

"What is he talking about?" Gu Yu opened his mouth silently, communicating with Qiu Mu with his lips.

Qiu Mu understood, then shook her head, and replied silently: "I don't know."

The two squatted down, their feet slowly rubbed against the ground, and moved forward.

In front, Ye Li also squatted down, put the thing on the ground, and then remained motionless.

"Really, these short branches are too much of a hindrance." Gu Yu complained in a low voice, then stretched her neck and looked forward.

Qiu Mu thought for a while, took out the phone from his pocket, adjusted to the camera position, and pressed a button to enlarge the lens.

He tugged at the corner of Gu Yu's clothes, and Gu Yu leaned over to look at the phone screen, and said "Oh" in a low voice: "You are so smart."

Ye Li looked very clear in the camera, and he could observe carefully the way his arms were moving slightly.

"What is Xiao Li doing?" Gu Yu put his mouth next to Qiu Mu's ear.

Qiu Mu was caught off guard by this unprepared close contact, her heart skipped a beat and almost hit her throat.Fortunately, he can pretend, otherwise at this time, he would jump up with a conditioned reflex, startling the other two nearby.

Facing the mouth near the ear, the wind coming out of the mouth, the moist touch, the weak but obvious airflow, made Qiu Mu feel distracted and dreamy, and his face turned red unknowingly.The ear that Gu Yu took care of was the hardest-hit area, so serious that the fire department had to come to put out the fire.

Seeing that Qiu Mu didn't speak, Gu Yu thought something was wrong, so she asked again: "What is Xiao Li doing?"

In Qiu Mu's mind, fireworks and firecrackers were already crackling to celebrate.He pretended to say: "This... let me see..."

The words are nice, but the brain has completely forgotten where it is.

Seeing a mobile phone in his hand, as if he was still taking pictures, Qiu Mu subconsciously pressed the camera button as if he was sleepwalking.

There was a sound of "click", the sound of taking pictures, and the sound of taking pictures sounded in this quiet forest.

The astigmatism light turned on amidst the stunned expressions of the three of them, illuminating the bushes with a radius of several meters very clearly.

Qiu Mu's brain paused for half a second before reacting.

He he he he he, what did he just do? ! !

Frantically pinching the "criminal evidence", Qiu Mu almost dropped the phone on the ground when she became unsteady amid Gu Yu's yell of "Ohhhh".Ye Li stood up and looked this way to see clearly who was coming. He quickly sorted out the situation from the brief surprise, and said to the two: "What are you doing?"

"Me, what, that..." Gu Yu explained helplessly, and pushed Qiu Mu, asking Qiu Mu, the think tank, to quickly find a way to solve the problem.

Qiu Mu was taken aback for a moment, and added: "Well, let's... enjoy the moon?"

Ye Li's voice was not as calm as before: "So take out your phone to take pictures? Why don't you take pictures of the moon and me?"

Qiu Mu quickly explained: "No, listen to me, this is a misunderstanding!"

Ye Li ignored him, while Gu Yu apologized softly, "I'm sorry Xiaoli, we didn't mean it", and quickly walked over in three steps.

Qiu Mu looked annoyed.

It's really embarrassing to be found out after stalking and secretly filming.

Gu Yu cautiously asked curiously: "Xiao Li, what were you doing just now?"

Master Ye Lixing's questioning expression suddenly stagnated and turned into embarrassment.

"this......"

Gu Yu poked his head over there and looked over there: "Is there anything there?"

"..." Ye Li didn't have the nerve to speak.

Gu Yu raised his legs and walked over there. Not long after, he laughed loudly from behind, turned around and said to Qiu Mu in surprise: "Puppy, it's a puppy! Xiaomu, come and see! Xiaoli is here Feed the puppy!"

Qiu Mu looked at Ye Li in surprise, Ye Li sighed and accepted the fact that the secret had been discovered.

Gu Yu excitedly said: "Xiaoli Xiaoli, can I touch it?"

Ye Li walked over there and said, "If you move slowly, it probably won't happen. But be careful, don't get bitten."

The three children squatted in the grass, surrounded by a timid little black dog.

Qiu Mu said, "When did you start raising it?"

"It's not considered raising." Ye Li said: "It's just that at that time, seeing that it was dying, I gave it what I had at hand. Later, feeding and feeding formed a habit, and I would come here twice a day."

When Gu Yu touched the dog just now, the dog shunned and rejected him in fear, now he looks at the puppy hiding beside Ye Li's feet with greedy eyes: "Why didn't you tell me, I want to feed it too."

Ye Li: "At first I didn't intend to keep feeding it, so I didn't say it. But after I got used to it, I didn't know how to say it. I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me, you didn't do anything bad." Gu Yu said, "Does it eat meat?"

"Eat." Ye Li nodded.

Qiu Mu: "You made this cardboard box?"

Ye Li: "Well..."

"There are also cloth strips and tissues inside, it looks very soft."

Ye Li said embarrassingly, "It was my clothes that were too small. I tore them off and put them in. There is only one box, and it's still too cold outside."

Gu Yu: "That's right, this puppy is so small, will it catch a cold outside?"

"The dog has fur, it's fine." Ye Li said, "And it will run back into the cardboard box by itself at night."

"Why don't you take it home? There's no wind at home." Gu Yu said.

"This..." Ye Li looked at Gu Yu in embarrassment, and said, "I don't plan to raise it either."

"But you're obviously raising it now?" Gu Yu said, "Have you chosen a name yet?"

Ye Li: "No."

Gu Yu was very active: "Then take one? Xiao Hei? It seems too casual...Furball? Fluffy?"

Ye Li: "It's all right."

Qiu Mu said: "You discovered it, don't you plan to give it a name yourself?"

Ye Li said: "I don't plan to raise it."

Gu Yu selectively ignored this sentence, and said, "That's right! It's better to let Xiaoli pick the name."

In this way, Ye Li was forced to take over the "heavy burden" of naming living creatures. He couldn't think of a good idea for a while, so he began to change the subject: "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back first."

Gu Yu reluctantly said: "Wait a little longer." This so-called "wait a minute", once it starts, there is absolutely no going back within half an hour.

Qiu Mu said: "It's cold outside, and the puppy is going to sleep too. We can see it again tomorrow."

Gu Yu: "But——"

Ye Li said: "Let's go. I'll find you when I come to feed tomorrow, and we'll come together."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Gu Yu had no choice but to compromise and said, "Okay then..." He still stared at the puppy.

The three got up and were about to leave, but Gu Yu hesitated and said, "Can't you take it back? It's just a cardboard box without a cover. Wouldn't the wind blow it? It must be very cold."

Of course it will be cold, it is February after all.They are not in the north here, at least there will be no snow, which is not bad.

Qiu Mu stood beside him, looking at Ye Li out of the corner of his eye.

Ye Li didn't want to take the dog back, probably because he had concerns...

Even though he and his grandfather were not at home during that time, he didn't dare to take the puppy back to feed him. He came back and forth several times a day to deliver food. No matter how cold the weather outside was or how uncomfortable the wind was on his face, he still Stick to it.It is better to say that he is sensible and polite, or that he has too many worries.

Qiu Mu began to hesitate.

Mingming has long been in love with puppies in his heart, and wants to take the dog with him.But because of the idea of ​​"I can't raise it, it's Qiu Mu's home", I deceived myself in the past, and now I haven't realized what the best choice is.

On the contrary, it was Gu Yu who saw Ye Li's thoughts at a glance, and easily pointed out the fact that "you are already raising it".

So when the three of them were about to walk out of the park and headed home, Qiu Mu said, "Let's take the puppy back."

Gu Yu immediately became excited: "Really? That's great!"

Ye Li objected: "Not too good, and grandpa, can he accept a dog at home?"

Qiu Mu said: "I will convince grandpa. If grandpa doesn't agree, then it's fine to keep it in the yard—will it make trouble or call out casually?"

Ye Li recalled it and shook his head: "No, it's very obedient." Ye Li was so obedient that he couldn't tell a lie even if he wanted to.

Qiu Mu smiled: "That's it."

Ye Li was still hesitant.He felt that Qiu Mu would talk about keeping a dog because of himself.

But Qiu Mu stepped forward, raised her hand, and gently stroked Ye Li's soft hair: "Be honest with yourself, don't feel guilty. If you are happy, just show it. Everyone hopes you can happy."

Ye Li was startled.

"Besides, it's good to have a dog at home. Sometimes I go to school with you, and grandpa is the only one at home, and the puppy can accompany grandpa. In case grandpa and I are not at home next time, You can have a companion, too."

"..." Ye Li didn't know what to say at this time, but felt that the temperature of the touch on the top of his head was extremely hot, which made people have to pay attention.

"Do you want to take it back?" Qiu Mu's gentle voice rang in Ye Li's ear.

Ye Li lowered his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Yes."

Qiu Mu smiled.

"Then go pick up the puppy and go back together."

Gu Yu cheered immediately: "Yeah!"

Five minutes later, Ye Li stood at the junction of the living room and the corridor, instead of going in directly as usual.He stood there without saying a word, lowered his head and did not dare to look at the old man, and held a very conspicuous cardboard box in his arms.

The old man noticed Ye Li's abnormality and looked at the three of them suspiciously.Qiu Mu walked over and said, "Grandpa, we found a puppy outside."

"Dog?" The old man's immediate reaction could not have been "It's great to have a dog, let's raise it quickly", but asked in doubt, "What do you bring the dog back for?"

Seeing that the old man was not very welcoming, Ye Li's heart sank, and he immediately said, "I'd better send it back."

Qiu Mu did not respond to Ye Li's words, and continued: "Xiao Li found a dog in the park some time ago. He found that the bitch was not around, and the puppy was starving to death, so he gave him food several times. Just now When we went out to feed the dog, Xiaoyu and I saw it. Xiaoli said that it would be better to keep it in the park, but Xiaoyu and I liked it very much and insisted on bringing it back. So Xiaoli said, we must go through Only if grandpa agrees—grandfather, do you think I can raise it?"

"..." The old man thought about Qiu Mu's meaning for a while, and then he understood.

This is clearly because Ye Li wanted to take care of the dog, but he didn't dare to tell them that he secretly fed the dog.In the end, Qiu Mu and Gu Yu saw that something was wrong, so they looked over worriedly, and found that Ye Li was raising a dog.Qiu Mu felt that since Ye Li wanted to raise her, it would be better to say it directly, but Ye Li always disagreed, for fear of causing trouble to them.

That's why Qiu Mu deliberately explained "I want to raise a dog" to make Ye Li accept it better.When speaking, he deliberately hinted at the old man, let the old man understand what Qiu Mu wanted to express, and then left the result to the old man to judge for himself.

But to be honest, the old man has always liked Ye Li's sensible spirit the most. How could he cruelly say something like "No, what kind of dog do you have" after understanding Qiu Mu's meaning?Knowing Ye Li's various actions before and after, and the delicate and considerate thoughts contained in them, the old man is reluctant to hurt Ye Li's heart.

No matter what, I have to give my good grandson and Ye Li some kind of friendship, so that they can be happy.

The old man was silent for a while, and under Ye Li's anxious eyes, the corners of his eyes curled up, showing a very kind expression.He said, "Puppy, that sounds cute."

Ye Li opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

The old man beckoned to Ye Li: "Xiao Li, quickly show it to Grandpa."

Ye Li walked over quickly: "Yeah!"

The puppy looks very cute under the light.Because of Ye Li's careful care, the puppy's hair is still shiny and smooth even though it has been living outside.The big jewel-like eyes were looking at the old man innocently and ignorantly.Not noisy, lying quietly in the box, the old man nodded: "Well, not bad, very good."

Seeing that the old man liked it, Ye Li immediately laughed: "It's very obedient, it never barks or runs around at will. When I was in the park before, it would run over by itself whenever it was time for me to feed. wait for me."

The old man smiled kindly: "It's really sensible, other people's dogs are definitely not as clever as ours. Xiao Li has discovered the treasure."

Ye Li smiled sheepishly: "Just as long as you are satisfied."
