The crispy was lost, and such a news smashed over, and it made Xu Chunqiu have been a little absent-minded at the celebration banquet.

"Teacher Xu, I would like to toast you. ”

The crew raised a glass to her, Xu Chunqiu was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, politely returned the salute, and then raised the wine glass and took a sip.

"Why do I think that Teacher Xiao Xu is a little out of shape today, he is still wilted after taking the actress. ”

Xu Chunqiu reluctantly showed a polite smile: "The cat at home is lost." ”

The staff was a little surprised "oh", did not think this is a big deal, the life span of cats is only more than ten years, no matter how long the pet is raised, no matter how good the relationship is, it will definitely leave before the owner.

But for Xu Chunqiu, for Lu Xiu, how can it be just a pet?

The celebration banquet did not end until the second half of the night, Xu Chunqiu lay on the big bed in the hotel and closed his eyes for three or four hours, and then took the plane back to Beijing with Lu Xiu the next morning.

Lu Xiu parked the car in the yard crookedly, stepped on the steps in front of the door and lowered his head to find the house key in his pocket.

Xu Chunqiu looked around and tentatively called its name.

"Crispy?"

The door opened, and the room was a little messy, and the food bowl for the cat food was still untouched.

Xu Chunqiu's heart sank, and he went upstairs and downstairs nervously, still shouting: "Crispy?"

This time she waited for a long time, and after more than ten seconds, she suddenly heard a thin cat meow.

Lu Xiu obviously also caught this almost inaudible response, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "You're back?"

Xu Chunqiu put down the luggage in his hand and followed the sound all the way to the end of the corridor.

The soft, fluffy snow ball was crawling slowly through the window, its movements long gone, and a dead sparrow in its mouth.

Xu Chunqiu's eyes widened: "Crispy!"

There is food at home, and the high-end cat food purchased by the living assistant is neatly stacked in a cabinet, why does it run out to forage for food by itself?

Xu Chunqiu didn't have time to think about it, seeing that it was about to fall from the window, she hurriedly stepped forward, reached out and fished it out, and hugged the cat into her arms.

It started to smell on it.

Xu Chunqiu's brows furrowed slightly, not because the smell on her body was unpleasant, but because she felt that the crispy was conveying some kind of signal to her.

She took the opportunity to put the cat on the ground, her movements were gentle and gentle, and she gave Xu Chunqiu the dead sparrow in her mouth as if she were offering treasures, and then put down the food, rubbing her ankle bone affectionately, and making a purring sound.

All the abnormal behavior points to the same fact, it is leaving, so it always hides itself from time to time, trying to test the reaction of the owner of the house when he finds out that he is gone.

Loss of appetite, drowsiness, like to hide, decreased excretion, obviously there are so many signs, but Xu Chunqiu is unwilling to admit it.

She half-crouched down and picked it up again, rubbing her cheek against its dull, rough fur.

Crispy pricked up her ears, lifted her head and licked her chin, then broke free from her embrace and ran away.

Xu Chunqiu shook off the cat hair that was stuck to his clothes and was silent for a long time.

Lu Xiu took her in his arms and patted her on the back.

......

This year's Spring Festival seems to have come earlier than usual, and the weather in Beijing is dry and dry, and there is no snow for a long time.

The streets and alleys were filled with a festive atmosphere, and the branches of the trees in the villa area were wrapped with small colored lanterns, and as the days passed, the spirit of the crisp became worse and worse, and it became more reluctant to move, and its beautiful blue eyes became dilated and dull, like two clusters of faint fire that were being extinguished.

They took Crispy to the hospital several times, and the private pet hospital Lu Xiu Holdings accounted for more than half.

When the director of the pet hospital saw Lu Xiu coming over in person, he was so nervous that the sweat on his forehead was about to come down. However, he worked hard and came to only one conclusion: "The cat has lived to this age, and it is almost time to leave." ”

"It's the end of life. ”

So they had to take the cat back to the house.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the TV showed a boring program of the Spring Festival Gala, Lu Xiu sat on the sofa with Xu Chunqiu in his arms, and Xu Chunqiu held the cat in his arms.

No one's mind is on TV.

After twelve o'clock in the evening, the New Year's bell rang on the other side of the screen, Xu Chunqiu was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and suddenly felt the warmth in his arms move.

Crispy broke free from her embrace, Xu Chunqiu sat up straight, and his drowsy sleepiness had long since been driven away.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Chunqiu broke away from Lu Xiu's arms and broke out of his arms.

Crispy was turning her head to look at them.

The voice in the TV was babbling, and the hostess said auspicious words exclusive to this festive festival in a high voice, Xu Chunqiu stared at it without blinking, hurriedly trying to keep up.

Lu Xiu stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Don't follow. His voice was low, a little hoarse, "It doesn't want you to follow." ”

It doesn't want to cause trouble to its owner and let its family members who have been with it for a long time witness its death, so when it has a premonition that it is leaving, it finds a place where no one can find it, and quietly waits for death to come.

Xu Chunqiu took a deep look at it for the last time, watching it leave step by step from his field of vision and disappear. ......

The next time they saw Crispy was the next morning, when the white mass was curled up under the tree in the courtyard, its whole body curled up in a ball, soft, and out of breath.

Xu Chunqiu carefully picked it up, a small one that was cold and cold, and then placed its body in a cardboard box.

Lu Xiu took a shovel, turned up a piece of the lawn in the yard, and buried it underneath.

When he covered the last handful of soil, Xu Chunqiu's emotions suddenly surged, her eyes were full of tears, and she muttered over and over again: "Crispy...... Crispy ......"

Xu Chunqiu, wearing a cotton gown, picked up the cat in front of the camera, and picked the cat's chin with the second knuckle of his index finger.

- What's your name?

Counting the streets of winter, the little lives left behind in the corners and alleys, how familiar the scene is.

- Just call you crispy, okay?

The little long-haired cat rubbed her fingers.

- Meow.

Xu Chunqiu was half-kneeling in the courtyard of the small villa, still softly calling its name in his mouth.

Crispy, crispy......

For a while, people couldn't tell whether she was called "crispy" or "Susu".
