Chapter XXVI
Gou Rixin sniffed lightly at the surroundings and smelled a strong smell of blood wafting out of the kitchen. There was a thump inside, and there was a slight noise.
He walked over slowly, observing the movement inside through the half-open door. On the kitchen floor, there is a fat, half-dead tuna, occasionally spitting bubbles, and on the table there are several basins of fresh meat, which not only obstruct the view, but also confuse the smell.
Gou Rixin slapped hard, opened the crack in the door, and walked in cautiously. There was silence as he half-hunched onto the table, staring at a wriggling shadow behind the basin.
"I don't know if you can understand it, but you shouldn't stay here, you should go and reincarnate in black and white impermanence. β
The shadow suddenly remained motionless when he heard his words, Gou Rixin hung his heart, and continued, "You are here, you will harm this family." β
"I could-"
A blurry blood shadow suddenly hit him, Gou Rixin jumped up and hurriedly dodged, slid off the table and fell to the ground for a while. He retreated to the corner, stared above the table, hunched over and about to jump back on. The tuna behind him flew up suddenly, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him, Gou Rixin turned around in surprise, but was bitten by the fish's tail.
"Meow-"
The piercing screams sounded instantly, Wen Xin upstairs was shocked for a while, and Qi Lanxi frowned impatiently.
"I'll take a look!" Before the words fell, Wen Xin had already run out.
"Gou Rixin!"
"Wang-"
A person and a dog looked at the bloody fish on Gou Rixin's tail in horror, Wen Dou'er roared and didn't dare to approach, Wen Xin trembled with fright, and picked up the kitchen knife on the table casually and wanted to come forward to help. Gou Rixin screamed in pain, and as the fish kept swinging, he had to turn in a circle to chase and bite. But the fish was cunning and nimble, and it just clung to his tail.
Wen Xin gritted his teeth angrily, and suddenly screamed and slashed over, and the fish actually bit Gou Rixin's tail and hit it head-on. The knife in his hand was slammed out, and Wen Xin was so frightened that he sat on the ground, and his mind suddenly went blank.
Gou Rixin was also thrown on the cupboard, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air, Wen Xin was stunned for a while, and suddenly he didn't know where he got the courage, stood up and grabbed a piece of cloth on the table, and suddenly pounced on Gou Rixin, and slammed the fish.
The fish under the tablecloth struggled constantly, Wen Xin casually picked up the fallen knife and slapped it hard.
Gou Rixin screamed and pulled out his tail, which had clear tooth marks and was stained with blood. Wen Xin's hand kept slapping until there was no longer the slightest movement under the tablecloth, and then he stopped.
"What's going on?"
"Huh?" Wen Xin threw away the knife in shock, turned around and sat up.
Qi Lanxi appeared at the door of the kitchen, looking at the mess inside, Wen Xin on the ground was full of panic, anxious, and about to step over.
"Don't come here!" Wen Xin suddenly shouted when he saw this.
"What's going on?"
Wen Xin got up, soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and panted with palpitations, "It's okay, it's okay." β
"Is there the fish that was just delivered under the tablecloth, and what's wrong with the cat's tail?" Qi Lanxi hugged his arms and looked at the one person, one cat, and one dog in the kitchen with an inquiring expression.
"It's really fine. Wen Xin patted the dust on his body, trying to squeeze out a smile and wanted to get by.
"Don't pretend to be confused for me," Qi Lanxi's tone suddenly became serious, "This cat and a dog will add you again, do you want to celebrate the New Year!"
Wen Xin trembled in fright, the hairs on his body stood up again, and he stammered: "That... That's Gou Rixin wants to eat fish... But he was bitten by a fish... And then... Then Wen Dou'er came to the rescue, but he was a useless one, at this time, your daughter and I were not afraid of danger, picked up the kitchen knife to show off their powers, and killed the fish demon without leaving a piece of armor...
"Okay, okay, where are you going back where you came early," Qi Lanxi interrupted Wen Xin's words, and slapped his hand with disgust, "Clean up the kitchen for me, I have to stew fish at noon." β
"No way!"
"What's wrong again?"
"This fish... There's a demonic spirit!"
"Believe it or not, I stewed all of you?" Qi Lanxi pulled his face and glared at Wen Xin angrily.
"Meow-" Gou Rixin blew his tail, painful and frightened, with teary eyes.
Wen Xin bit her lip and pursed her mouth.
Wen Dou'er clamped her tail and felt Qi Lanxi's anger, but she didn't know why.
When Qi Lanxi went upstairs, Wen Xin rolled the tablecloth and fish and threw them into the trash together. Then picked up Gou Rixin and ran to the nearby pet hospital, Wen Douer followed closely behind, looking at Gou Rixin's tail worriedly.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the community, Qi Lanxi called, "Where's the fish!"
Wen Xin looked at the garbage bag in his hand, threw it into the trash can without hesitation, and then coaxed softly: "Queen Mother, that fish was half gnawed by Gou Rixin, let's not eat it, ah?"
"Wen Xin!" Qi Lan was furious.
Gou Rixin in his arms is even more angry, I am a hero, you let me carry the black cauldron! Who rarely eats that broken fish!
"Well, I promise, you'll get fish at noon, okay?"
"Explain it to your dad. Qi Lan hung up the phone happily.
Wen Xin pursed his lips and quickened his pace to run towards the pet hospital.
"Biting yourself?" a young veterinarian asked casually, examining Gou Rixin's tail.
"Bitten by a fish. β
"Fish?" the little veterinarian looked skeptical, "the kind of fish swimming in the water?"
"No," Wen Xin pursed her lips and showed helplessness, "The kind that flies in the sky." β
The little veterinarian raised his eyebrows, nodded knowingly, and stopped talking.
Wen Xin hesitated and called Wen Qiyun, "Dad, do you know that our family is going to eat fish at noon?"
"Eat, I'm looking for tuna from a friend to make up for your mother. β
"How are you going to eat it?"
"Isn't it stew, your mother wants to change the taste?"
"No, then you can get on with your work. After speaking, he hung up the phone, and spent his private money painfully to order a stewed tuna.
"Was it really bitten by a fish?" asked the little veterinarian.
"Hmm. Wen Xin looked back and saw that on Gou Rixin's swarthy tail, there was a piece of hair that had been shaved and bare, revealing pink flesh. The injured cat was unaware of it, shivering. Wen Dou'er next to her stood up and licked the cat's head comfortingly.
"You cat and dog, you have a good relationship. The little veterinarian said with a smile.
"Is this tail alright?"
"Well, it's not very serious, if you bite the skin, it is estimated that it will be swollen for a few days, just rub some medicine. β
Wen Xin touched Gou Rixin's head and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
"Meow..."
"Don't worry, it's good to celebrate the New Year. β
"Meow..."
"Thank you for today. β
"Meow..."
"Why is he still shaking?" Wen Xin frowned and looked at the little veterinarian.
"It hurts, doesn't it?"
"Good boy, you are the bravest..."
"Meow-" Gou Rixin suddenly screamed, stood up suddenly, and exploded all over his body. Frightened, the two people next to him took a step back at the same time and looked at him with a shocked face.
I saw Gou Rixin shaking his body, his wet head stiffly looking at his tail, and when he saw the shaved place, he instantly arched his head, looking dumbfounded.
"How... What's wrong?" Wen Xin asked in a panic.
"I just got some medicine, and it probably hurts too much. The little veterinarian explained.
"It scared the hell out of me. Wen Xin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and hurriedly gave Gou Rixin a smooth hair.
An hour later, Gou Rixin tied a red bow on his tail and was carried home by Wen Xin.
Wen Dou'er stuck out her tongue and stared at the bow, Gou Rixin hugged her tail, her face wrinkled, and she always felt that this bow was weird.
When he got home, Gou Rixin ignored his serious injury, went upstairs and downstairs, and stared at Qi Lanxi silently for half an hour, and finally determined: That little ghost ran away!
"Is it really gone?" Wen Xin asked excitedly.
"Meow~"
"Yes, we are Superman, we are superheroes!" Wen Xin jumped three feet high excitedly, and couldn't help but let go of his voice and roared, "Little people~ Wind and water~ Love poverty and happiness every day~ The soul of carefree~Fake and not serious~"
Gou Rixin staggered on four short legs, shaking his head to the music. Wen Dou'er saw a person and a cat dancing, and she also stood up excitedly, snorting a few times, jumping and jumping. The living room was suddenly filled with excitement.
As soon as Wen Qiyun entered the door, he saw the demons dancing in the living room, and he was stunned for a while.
"Father, you're back!" Wen Xin staggered all the way over, pulling his father to jump together.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Lanxi poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the movement, glanced at it helplessly, and shrank back again, "Something happened, I'm crazy with a weak heart." β
"What's wrong?"
"Ask your daughter. β
"Are you making your mother angry again?" Wen Qiyun asked with a sinking face.
"Where is it, I fought the fish monster today and saved the lives of our family, hahaha, hurry, hurry!"
Wen Qiyun looked at the daughter in front of him with a tangled expression, eager to let her go back to the furnace to rebuild.
After lunch, Wen Xin made another video call to Qiao Ming, and excitedly conveyed to her today's heroic deeds of Gou Rixin showing his magic and fighting demons. Gou Rixin meowed on the side, desperately hoping that Qiao Ming would understand his words this time.
Qiao Ming smiled helplessly, and was also happy for the two of them, "Congratulations!"
"Meow meowβ"
Qiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and said that he still didn't understand Gou Rixin's words. Gou Rixin squatted aside with a disappointed face, wagging his tail gently.
"Why are your eyes red?" Wen Xin finished publicizing his exploits, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with Qiao Ming on the other end of the video.
"Oh, nothing, just talking about my dad... Hey, Gou Rixin, you love to be pretty, what are you wearing?" Qiao Ming didn't want to mention it more, so he changed the topic.
"This is a badge!" Wen Xin hurriedly explained, picked up Gou Rixin and brought the bow on his tail close to the camera, "See, this is a wound bitten by a fish demon, the little veterinarian said that the bandages wrapped around the New Year are not good-looking, so I added a bow, how about it, beautiful?"
Gou Rixin's amber eyes were motionless, his face was full of seriousness, but his heart was pounding, eager to hear Qiao Ming's praise. Is it easy for him to be born and die this time?
"Oh, I'll go, the necklace is with red flowers, Gou Rixin has become a mother... Oh my gosh..." Qiao Ming bent down and laughed, and through the constantly shaking camera, he could only hear his voice and not see him.
Gou Rixin's whole body suddenly stiffened, his mouth pursed and he meowed, broke free from Wen Xin's hand and jumped out of bed, and then walked out of the bedroom without looking back.
"Oh, don't laugh," Wen Xin complained angrily, "I finally coaxed him to put it on, and I got angry again." β
"I... HahahaΒ·Β·Β· Did he forget that he was a man? Qiao Ming wiped the tears from laughter and asked intermittently.
"It's the New Year, of course you have to dress up," Wen Xin glanced at Qiao Ming, "If you want to be like this again, be careful that Gou Rixin doesn't want you!"
"He wears red and green himself, and he can't let me say it?" Qiao Ming held back a smile and stroked his stomach for a while, "Oops, my stomach hurts when I laugh, I have to slow down." β
"How are you doing at your grandparents' house?" Wen Xin asked suddenly.
"Oh, it's okay, it's almost the New Year, and a few relatives have come, and it's not lonely. After the New Year, I can take Gou Rixin together and go to see my grandma and grandpa. Qiao Ming said with a smile.
"Time flies so fast," Wen Xin sighed, "Why don't you come to my house for a few days, I have no relatives in my family, the two of us, how about you pet the cat and I pet the dog?"
There was a sudden knock on the door behind Qiao Ming, and she didn't answer, she said goodbye to Wen Xin, and hung up the video.
"Gou Rixin?" Wen Xin turned over and got out of bed and went to find the battered meow, "Qiao Ming said that he would pick you up after the New Year, it's been a few days." β
"Gou Rixin?" Wen Xin shouted all the way downstairs, but didn't hear Gou Rixin's response.
"What about the backyard. Qi Lanxi in the living room pointed to the courtyard.
Through the glass door, Wen Xin saw Wen Dou'er running over with a ball in her mouth in the yard, but handed it to Gou Rixin, who was squatting at the door. I saw Gou Rixin meow, stretched out his cat's paw and slapped the rubber ball, and the blue ball flew out instantly. Wen Dou'er snorted and rushed to chase the ball.
Qi Lanxi, who was sitting on the sofa, walked over and couldn't help but praise, "This cat is amazing." The magazine has a pet cat column, how about you borrow it from me?"
"What?"
"Take some photos, take some videos, aren't cat movies all popular now?"
"Really, is there an appearance fee?" Wen Xin suddenly looked at Qi Lanxi with bright eyes.
Qi Lanxi smiled and pinched Wen Xin's nose, "Of course there is." β
"Gou Rixin!" Wen Xin shouted excitedly, "You're going to be in a magazine!
"Am I shy?"
Wen Xin hurriedly shook his head.
"Do I love you?"
Wen Xin continued to shake his head.
"Am I wearing red and green?"
"No, no, no, I made you vulgar. Wen Xin hurriedly untied the cat collar and threw it into the drawer.
Gou Rixin withdrew his paw from the keyboard, wagged his tail, and raised his eyelids to look at Wen Xin.
"But this bow, actually..."
Seeing that Gou Rixin's face sank, Wen Xin hurriedly untied the bow, "Let's change to a blue one." β
"How much do you give?"
"This... My mom didn't say that there had to be a thousand-eight-hundred. β
"How much does cat food cost?"
"Hehe," Wen Xin suddenly smiled shyly, "Qiao Ming will give you five kilograms and thirty yuan, buy two and get one free, and I will give you a hundred yuan, Mo Da." β
Gou Rixin was stunned for a moment, the cat's paw opened instantly, and he typed out a few words with a few clicks, "Give me thirty!"
"Are you sure?" Wen Xin was surprised.
Gou Rixin nodded, his heart suddenly ignited ambition, he defeated the monster bravely and invincible, what else can stop him from becoming a human, and now he can still support himself!
"Shoot!"
"Okay, let's arrange it for the small ones. Oh yes, do you want to talk to Qiao Ming?"
Gou Rixin was stunned for a moment, and then clicked on the keyboard, Wen Xin took a closer look, and was stunned for a while. I saw a simple word on it: NO!
A family of three, a cat and a dog had a prosperous year. At the table on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wen Qiyun and Wen Xin had a drink, and the smell of wine was in the news, and they stretched out their tongues and licked them. The firecrackers shook the sky outside, Wen Douer howled in fright, the Spring Festival Gala was still playing on the TV, and the house was very lively.
After twelve o'clock, the family lit a few fireworks in the yard to welcome the New Year. Wen Qiyun helped Qi Lanxi, who had been yawning for a long time, to return to the room, while Wen Xin received Qi Lanxi's amnesty, and happily led a cat and a dog into the bedroom.
The scattered sound of firecrackers outside finally stopped, and Wen Xin also fell asleep vaguely.
She sleeps at the head of the bed, with a cat and a dog at the end of the bed. An earth-shattering firecracker sound suddenly sounded, shaking the whole bedroom, Wen Xin sat up and turned on the light, only to see the cat and dog curled up at the end of the bed for some reason... Hearing the movement, the two of them rubbed their eyes and sat up.
"Ahh The bedroom door suddenly opened, someone rushed in, Wen Xin looked up, and it turned out to be Li Xiaowei!
"Xiaowei!"
