Chapter 301: Where Does Love Return?
Richard stared at her arm for a long time, and then jumped up, and after going up, he didn't grasp it steadily because of the weakness of the bird's claws, and staggered for a moment, Sun Xiaomeng quickly held it steady. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Alright, let's go. She raised her right arm so that it was at the same level as her own eyes.
She walked forward with small steps and opened the door to the living room with her left hand.
"Shhhhh
She pushed open the kitchen door and walked into the kitchen with it.
Since the death of Zhang Zi'an's parents, the gas stove has not been turned on a few times, and it is spitting small light blue flames. A rugged casserole sits on the stove, sizzling hot. I don't know what was stewed in the casserole, and it gave off a very bitter and bitter taste, which made Richard look away when he smelled it.
The steel-legged folding chair at the cashier downstairs was moved here, and Zhang Zi'an sat on the chair, one arm on the table, his hand supporting his cheek raiser and napping, the corners of his mouth were still dripping, and he didn't notice Sun Xiaomeng and Richard appearing behind him. He had an alarm clock at his hand, ticking and ticking.
"Do you know what's in there?" she whispered, pointing to the casserole.
Richard shook his head, it just knew that whatever it was, it must be unpalatable.
"It's Chinese medicine. She looked it in the eye and said, "Western medicine alone can't save you, but there are many unique things that our ancestors have handed down, and Chinese medicine is one of them." ”
"It smells bitter. Richard said hesitantly.
"Good medicine is good for disease. Sun Xiaomeng smiled, "This sentence is also handed down by the ancestors." ”
She glanced at the time of the little alarm and "shhh
Bell bell bell ......
The alarm went off, and Zhang Zi'an was so frightened that he almost overturned the chair. He wiped his saliva, glanced at the time, and muttered, "It's time to add water." ”
He lifted the lid of the casserole with his right hand and the palm of his hand with a rag to insulate the heat.
The long-accumulated heat suddenly bubbled out, and Zhang Zi'an tilted his head to the side to avoid the hot steam.
After two or three seconds, the steam dissipated, and the water in the casserole was almost dry, revealing a black lump that looked disgusting. Zhang Zi'an poured the water from the kettle into the casserole, then closed the lid of the pot, sat back in the chair, adjusted the time of the alarm, and continued to nap with his arms on his legs.
"The boiling medicine is a slow simmer over a fine fire, and the water grinding is exquisite. The next time the bell rings, you ask for the medicine to drink, as if you had eaten a bad wild fruit. She whispered.
"Doctor, can these bitter things really cure diseases?" Richard was still skeptical, he had never tried such a thing in the West.
She said solemnly, "I promise." ”
Richard looked into her eyes, and it could see that she wasn't joking, nor was she comforting it. She didn't hide it, and even told it in advance that the copper sulfate solution was toxic.
Sun Xiaomeng opened the kitchen door again, ready to leave with it, when she and it heard Zhang Zi'an talking behind her.
"Richard ......"
She turned around with it.
Zhang Zi'an still maintained a posture of napping with his cheeks, and could even see the crystal saliva pulling out long filaments hanging from the corners of his mouth.
"Richard, come on, let's filth together......"
Sun Xiaomeng couldn't help laughing: "Really, don't forget to sleep with dirt!"
She took Richard out of the kitchen and into Zhang Zi'an's bedroom.
Wang Qian and Li Kun moved a chair and were playing poker, and when they saw Sun Xiaomeng coming in, they quickly stood up.
"Sister Xiaomeng, is there anything you want us to do?" the two of them asked.
Sun Xiaomeng shook his head, "It's nothing, I'll take Richard for a walk." You've been running all afternoon and all night, and you're tired, aren't you, why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"
Wang Qian and Li Kun glanced at each other, and said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from Sister Xiaomeng, the two of us fell asleep as soon as our heads touched the pillow, and slept like dead pigs, and we will never get up if we don't sleep enough." We were worried that we would have to run errands, so we agreed to keep a vigil tonight and not sleep. We can't share the worries of our master, so we can only run errands......"
Sun Xiaomeng smiled with relief, "Don't worry, there is nothing that requires you to run errands, let's rest for a while." ”
They just nodded, but from the looks on their faces, they didn't change their minds.
"How's Richard? Is it better? If it has three long and two short, the master will be sad. They looked at Vedon's grey parrot and asked with concern.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine. She said, "Rest for a while, don't burn your body." ”
Richard was silent.
Sun Xiaomeng took it out of Zhang Zi'an's bedroom and entered Zhang Zi'an's parents' bedroom.
The electric heater was placed close to the head of the bed, and Fina lay drowsy on a blanket nearby, and the snow lion lay next to it, carefully leaning towards it, moving less than a centimeter at a time, for fear of being discovered by Finah.
Disturbed by the sound of Sun Xiaomeng opening the door, Fina opened her eyes and pushed the snow lion away. The snow lion rolled on the ground like a hair ball, but unfortunately its cuteness was completely ineffective against Fina.
The snow lion rolled to Sun Xiaomeng's feet before standing up, raising his face and staring at Richard with watery blue eyes.
Sun Xiaomeng was afraid that it would hurt Richard, so he hurriedly protected Richard with his left hand.
"Meow meow ~ there is true love between the same sex, and there are only offspring between the opposite sex!" said Snow Lion to Richard, "Comrade, don't let the old lady fight alone. ”
With that, the snow lion took a short leg and ran back to Fina.
Of course, Sun Xiaomeng couldn't understand its words, but only heard a series of soft and waxy cat meows.
Fina stood up suddenly, her green eyes shot a cold light like a sword, and stared at Richard, "Bengu remembers, you said that your loyalty to Bengu can be revealed. If you are not lying, Hongu will command you to fight to the end for Hongu like a true warrior. ”
After Fina finished speaking, she lay down again, closed her eyes and continued to nap.
Sun Xiaomeng was a little startled just now, she has always stayed away from Fina, because she thinks Fina is very fierce, just now she even thought that Fina would pounce, but fortunately it was a false alarm.
Lao Cha did not stay with Fina and the others, but inserted the electric blanket into the socket in the corner, put his hands into the sleeves of the horse coat in the posture of "peasant tug", and quietly closed his eyes to recuperate.
In front of the old tea are pressed thermos and two teacups, one of which is empty, and a few leaves of fragrant tea are placed at the bottom of the cup.
Lao Cha half-opened his eyes, looked at Richard lightly, stretched out a cat's paw and pushed the empty teacup under the spout of the thermos, and then pressed the thermos to flush the hot water at the right temperature into the empty teacup.
The turquoise tea leaves are churning in the hot water, and the fragrance is quietly diffused.
Old Tea pushed the cup of tea in Richard's direction.
This time, Sun Xiaomeng saw that Lao Cha wanted to invite Richard to drink tea, and she always felt that Lao Cha's dress was very funny, which might be Zhang Zi'an's bad taste. She estimated that the old tea didn't understand, but she still excused Richard: "It just drank the medicine, and the tea will reduce the efficacy of the medicine, so you can't drink tea for the time being." ”
Lao Cha squinted his eyes, as if smiling, and lowered his head to drink his cup of tea.
Sun Xiaomeng took Richard out of the bedroom and whispered to it, "Everyone seems to be looking forward to you getting better as soon as possible." Even though I don't come to the pet store very often, I also feel a lot more deserted without you. ”
Of course, it is a bird that speaks more every day from morning till night than all the other elves combined.
Sun Xiaomeng pushed open the door of the storage room, which was stacked with all kinds of sundries that were not usually used and pet props sold in the store, and few people usually came in. There were no lights in the pantry, only a little starlight and lights coming in through the window.
Richard tilted his head to look inside in disbelief, not understanding why she had brought herself here.
She came to a small window in the corner, pointed through the glass and said, "Look, the one that's still on is my clinic." My newly hired nurse was worried that I needed other medicines and hadn't slept yet. ”
Richard struggled against his heavy eyelids, trying to keep his eyes open in that direction, to the faint light.
After a moment, Sun Xiaomeng bent his arm and looked at Richard.
"Richard, a lot of people are busy with your business, and everyone cares about you, so please respond to everyone with your strength, okay?"
Richard opened his beak wordlessly, but couldn't say anything, for the first time in his life he felt poor in vocabulary and didn't know how to answer.
There is no electric heating in the storage room, and the temperature is relatively low. Sun Xiaomeng was afraid that it would catch a cold again, so he didn't delay here for long, so he planned to send it back to the warm living room. She estimated that the time was almost up, and the medicine should be almost ready, and it was time to give it a drink when she returned to the living room.
As soon as she turned, she saw a pair of silver-gray eyes shining in the dimly lit room.
Sun Xiaomeng was suddenly startled, but immediately found out that it was Xinghai.
Xinghai quietly came behind them at some point, squatting on the floor, looking at them with a small peach face.
"Ah, Xinghai, you're here! I was just about to say I couldn't find you...... Xinghai, are you also worried about Richard?" Sun Xiaomeng had Richard on his right arm, so he had to smile and wave his left hand at it.
Only Xinghai knew what Richard was hesitating, and the reason why it had never had the courage to fight the disease was because it didn't know where it should go, whether it should return to its original owner. Richard's original owner is a rigorous and realistic scientist, and when he sees it resurrected, he will definitely be suspicious, and the pursuit may involve Zhang Zi'an and other partners.
Xinghai stared at Richard with silver-gray eyes, and opened his mouth to say something to it, but to Sun Xiaomeng's ears, it was just a few meows.
"Richard, your future, here!"
