Zhou Li, where are you going to play?" Tuanzi stood on the edge of the bed, staring at them with his head raised high.

"Go out for a run. ”

"Dango-sama is going out too!"

Tuanzi jumped out of bed, chased Zhou Li with small steps, and walked around at his feet, which greatly affected Zhou Li's walking.

Zhou Li had to pick her up and corrected: "It's going out for a run, not playing, it's very tiring, Lord Tuanzi is a little lazy, he usually doesn't even want to walk, just stay at home." Also, don't run around my feet, because it's easy to get stepped on. ”

"Dango-sama is running fast. Danzi was held by him peacefully, staring into his eyes, "Danzi-sama has four legs." ”

"Really?"

"yes, you count. Dango lowered his head and stretched out his front paws and hind feet, "There are only two of you." ”

"That's amazing. Zhou Li was helpless.

"Meow!" "Tuanzi looked happy, "Say a few more words!"

“...... What do you want for breakfast?"

"Fish soup for rice. ”

"I just ate fish soup and rice yesterday. ”

"Eat it today, too. "She treats humans as a scumbag cat, but she is a very attentive cat when she treats fish soup and rice.

"Another one. ”

"Roast camels. ”

“...... What a clever little ghost. Zhou Li gently flicked the head of the dumpling, and said, "According to our custom here, you should eat tangyuan on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means reunion...... Shhh, I will tell you quietly, Aunt Jiang will also wrap coins in the rice balls, and if anyone eats the coins, not only the money will belong to him, but also a year of good luck. ”

"Hmm......"

Hearing this, Danzi fell into thought, and her eyes widened.

After a while, she tilted her head: "Then if Lord Tuanzi eats the rice balls, can he be reunited with His Highness?"

The voice is milky and articulate, so it is especially cute when it says 'reunion'.

Zhou Li thought about it seriously and blinked his left eye: "Maybe, I don't know, but I think, it's already so late, His Highness hasn't appeared yet, and it's soon, right?"

"Meow! Dumplings want to eat rice balls!"

"How many?"

"Many, many ......"

The ball spread its front paws widely, gesturing.

When he walked to the dining room, Zhou Li found that Aunt Jiang had cooked chicken breast for the dumplings and served them with goat's milk, he pursed his lips and whispered into the ear of the dumplings and said, "Aunt Jiang is really good to you." ”

"Dango-sama wants to eat rice balls!"

"Good~~"

Zhou Li served her a rice ball, and then, under her strong dissatisfaction, added another one, and said, "You have to finish eating." ”

At the same time, Zhu Shuang and Zhu Bing also woke up.

Lao Zhou said to them on the side: "We have packed a total of five coins into it, and the two old ones have not eaten any of them, let's see who can eat you sisters and that little thing." ”

After saying that, the dumplings meowed.

So Lao Zhou smiled again: "This little guy just likes to talk to people, and when she listens to others, she also wants to scream." ”

Zhou Li didn't say anything.

The rice balls were made by Lao Zhou and Aunt Jiang themselves in the morning, they were big, very big, ordinary people would be full after eating four or six, and there might be about ten in Zhou Li's bowl, which was the reason why Aunt Jiang took into account his recent sudden increase in the amount of food.

But in fact, he doesn't like to eat rice balls very much.

While eating, he looked at the dumplings.

The outside of the dumplings is no longer hot, but the inside is still very hot, and the dumplings carefully bite the skin open, and they are so scalded by the stuffing that they stick out their tongues. After eating half of it, she felt a little full, quietly looked around, and licked her mouth with a little weakness.

Zhu Bing on the side was the first to eat a coin.

Zhou Li also ate one.

Good luck to Shuang, the remaining three are in his bowl.

It took a lot of effort for the dumplings to finally finish eating one, and she drank some goat's milk, and she already felt supported. And she felt that this thing was not delicious at all, and it was sticky to her teeth, and she couldn't chew it, which made her teeth, mouth, and tongue so uncomfortable.

So she was embarrassed, and set her eyes on Zhou Li several times, expecting Zhou Li to take the initiative to solve her problems.

But Zhou Li was indifferent.

Tuanzi couldn't help it, plucked up his courage, and said weakly: "Zhou Li, there is another Tuanzi who can't eat, put it in that red cabinet for Tuanzi, and Tuanzi will eat it at noon." ”

Zhou Li immediately smiled.

When he went out, Tuanzi was still clamoring to follow him, and Zhou Li couldn't make sense of what he said, so he had to hug her.

He didn't take the elevator, but walked down the gloomy stairs with Huaixu, and Tuanzi looked at him and then at Huaixu, and there were big doubts in his little eyes.

"What are you wearing?"

"Masks. ”

"Mouth stomy. ”

"Yes. ”

"Why are you wearing this?"

"There's a virus out there. ”

"Why do you all have danko-sama?"

"Because Dango-sama is a youkai. ”

"Huaixu is also a monster. ”

“......”

"Dango-sama wants to wear a mouth too!!"

“......”

Zhou Li sighed deeply, and Huai Xu held back a smile beside him.

People in the city are more vigilant than people in the villages, and there are many reasons for this, so many people on the streets are wearing masks, even though no infected people have been found in Yancheng so far.

A lot of shops are closed.

Zhou Li guessed that the reason for their closure was the first day of the Lunar New Year, not the epidemic, and these stores were also closed on the first day of the new year in previous years.

Walk through the city and go straight out of the city.

There was usually no one on Binjiang Road, and now there is no one, and not even a car can be seen, Zhou Li can take off his mask with confidence, and put the dumplings on the ground, and said tentatively-

"I'm going to start running. ”

"I ...... Dango-sama is going to start running. Dango stood on the ground and looked up at him, repeating his words.

"Dango-sama can catch up with me, right?"

"You run slowly. ”

"......," Zhou Li bent down, "That's not what Tuanzi said at home. ”

"I can't remember~"

"I'm not going to stop and wait for you anyway, if you can't keep up, just stop, I'll run over like this, and I'll be back across the road in a moment." Zhou Li admonished.

"Why?"

"Because Dango-sama is a slow runner. ”

"Tuanzi is just a kitten, with short feet, of course he can't run fast or far. Dango said, "If Dango-sama can't run, you can run with Dango-sama in your arms." ”

“...... Dream. ”

"Don't you dislike Dango-sama anymore?" Dango's eyes were shining, but he showed a pitiful expression.

“......”

Zhou Li looked away from the side, began to move his body, and only said: "I'm going to start, remember what I said, if you can't keep up, you can run to the other side of the road to play, and I'll come back to you." ”

With that, he took a step.

The brisk pace, the familiar rhythm, as soon as I ran up, I felt the wet and cold wind in the morning, blowing on my face very cold, and faintly carrying the fishy smell of the water by the river.

Zhou Li looked back.

The ball didn't run at all, only trotted out with small steps, and his steps slowed down.

"Zhou Li, wait for me!"

"Wait for Dango-sama!"

"Huaixu, come back and hug the ball!"

“......”

Her speed is about the same as a walk.

Zhou Li retracted his gaze and quickly left the ball behind.

Huai Xu appeared on the lamp pole above his head, looking down at him: "Run faster, run faster, it's too slow, how about we run three times back and forth today, the Internet says that men just want to last." ”

"By the way, why don't you wear a mask?"

"Come and see, this person is not wearing a mask. ”

"Hey, why did you stop?"

"Huh?"

"Wearing a mask?"

“......”

Zhou Li didn't say a word, only took out a pair of Bluetooth headphones from his pocket and put them on, put on the song, turned up the sound loudly, raised his head and calmly glanced at the Huai Xu on the street lamp, and continued to bow his head and run.

The world fell silent.

Three round-trips, 24 kilometers, the short time it takes to leave the week, can make many runners feel incredible, converted into a whole marathon can even break the world record.

Back to the original point, Zhou Li wiped his sweat: "Where's the dumpling? ”

Huai Xu turned his head to look at the river.

At the same time, the grass shook by the roadside, and a half-sized cat with leaves and ash on its body emerged, and a small crucian carp about two fingers wide was in its mouth.

She looked up at Zhou Li, her mouth whining, and after a while, she realized that she should put the little fish down first.

"It's Dango-sama!" she said.

"Where did the fish come from?"

"There was a man fishing by the river, and after sitting with him for a while, he gave a fish to Dango-sama. Danzi said and lowered his head and touched the fish with his little paws, "Take it back and make fish soup and rice for Dango-sama." ”

“...... Dango-sama is really popular. ”

"Yes, this little thing doesn't lack food anywhere!" Huai Xu was a little envious, his tone was sour, he turned his head to look at the riverside, thinking that probably when the angler was sitting by the cold river, he could meet a human kitten, and his heart was also warm, right?
