4. Under the Guanxiang tree (ask for recommendation and collection)
The general circled around him excitedly, Ao Muyang reached out and touched its head, it closed its eyes in enjoyment, held its head high and obediently let him caress it.
When it was a child, Ao Muyang often did this, sometimes tickling it while doing homework.
Stroking the old yellow dog, he looked at the old mansion.
From the outside, the house is very dilapidated, but the inside is actually not bad, but there are some weeds growing in the yard, but there is no garbage, not even dog shit.
In the middle of the yard is a green tree, nearly three meters high, with lush foliage, among which the leaves are as long as palms, and whenever the sea breeze blows, the branches and leaves make a 'rustling' sound, and the fragrance is permeated.
This is a guanxiang tree, which belongs to the national second-class protected plant, and it is a coincidence that this tree was also planted in the year of his parents' accident, and it has not been taken care of by the general for several years.
"Not bad. Ao Muyang nodded with satisfaction, he thought that what he would see when he went home would be the scene of the rabbit entering from the dog sinus, the pheasant flying from the beam, the atrium living in the valley, and the inoue living in the sunflower.
The fragrant tree not only added a bit of fragrance to the yard, but also added vitality and vitality, he walked over and patted the trunk, and the general followed closely behind.
He went to the house and looked again, and the floor and furniture were covered with dust, the moisture was very serious, and there was even moss on the north wall, and most of the furniture was rotten and unusable.
But there were no wild birds or rats in the house, and it was clear that the general was guarding the house and protecting it well.
Looking at the general who was happily waging his tail, Ao Muyang couldn't help laughing, he rubbed the hair on the back of the general's neck vigorously, and said, "Good boy, well done, come, I'll give you a bath." ”
There is a well in the yard, there is no shortage of water in the village near the sea, there is a bucket in the house, Ao Muyang found a rope and rubbed it and felt that it was no problem, so he tied the bucket and threw it down to get a bucket of water.
The general's body is not very dirty, after all, he is leaning against the sea, and it is estimated that he often goes to the sea.
Ao Muyang scooped water and sprinkled it on it, and the general sat obediently on the ground, his thick tail still shaking vigorously, like a broom.
Seeing this, he rejoiced in his heart, the general was really a loyal and well-behaved good dog, but unfortunately no one took care of it, and for many years it grew wild and hungry, causing it to be in a very poor physical condition.
In Ao Muyang's impression, Jin Shorthair can live for fourteen or fifteen years without illness and disaster, and the age of five or six should be the time when he is in the prime of life, and the general has already shown his old appearance.
This made him feel a little sad in his heart, and he subconsciously thought about how to condition the general and make it healthy and strong.
He was thinking of medicinal food, for it was his forte, but just as the thought came to him, he felt something flow out of his chest and down the well water to the general.
This strange feeling shook his heart, and he closed his eyes and saw the little golden ball again, and then realized that the little golden ball was different from when he was in the sea.
At this time, a thin stream of water appeared in the small golden ball again, but instead of rotating clockwise, it rotated counterclockwise, starting from the top of the golden ball, turning into water vapor and emerging from the top after a circle, and finally merging into the water that came into contact with his skin through his hands......
"!" This kind of weird thing can only make Ao Muyang burst into foul language, he can't understand what is going on!
But I'm a science student and knows how to do experiments.
After experimenting a few times, he found that as long as he had the consciousness of strengthening the general, or wanted to use the energy in the golden ball, a thin stream of water would be reversed and emitted from the golden ball.
As the water flows out more often, the small golden ball will gradually become smaller.
Ao Muyang scratched his chin and pondered, he felt that this thing was like the inner dan of the monster in the TV novel, which could absorb the energy in the ocean and release the energy.
After making this reasoning, he looked down at the general, and subconsciously grinned.
The general had changed, and at first its yellow fur was dull and dull, but now it was much brighter, and the sun shone brighter, as if dyed with a layer of gold juice.
In addition, the general's eyes were even brighter, black and shining, as if he was gray before, as if he was going to be blinded.
At this time, someone pushed the door open, and before he could react, the general was like an arrow off the string, and his limbs kicked to the ground and 'whoosh' out at once, opening his mouth and roaring like thunder: "Woo woo!"
It was Ao Fugui who pushed the door in, and the general's reaction frightened him almost jumped: "I rely on the general to be me, paralyzing my own people!"
The general has long recognized that Ao Fugui's family and Ao Muyang's family are neighbors, so the relationship between the two is so good.
After screaming twice, the general wagged his tail and ran back to Ao Muyang, clinging to him hard, as if he was afraid of separating from him again.
Ao Fugui scratched his head and said, "the sheep, what's the matter with your dog? When I saw it this morning, it was still sick like an old dog, why is it so energetic?"
Ao Muyang asked, "Really?"
Ao Fugui nodded vigorously and said, "Really, general, I grew up watching it, I have to study it." By the way, you didn't have lunch, did you? I brought some food and wine, and I took a whole bite together. ”
Ao Muyang took a few bags in his hand, one of the two big bags was white mussel meat, the other was a cleaned small loach, and a few bags contained vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, cooking wine, etc.
Seeing this, he smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing with some raw goods? ”
Ao Fugui said: "It's okay, you tell me what you are missing, I have it at home, wait, I'll get you a set." ”
Ao Muyang cleaned the kitchen briefly, there was not much garbage, but there was a lot of dust, and then Ao Fugui came over with pots and pans and even gas canisters.
"This jar is yours, I'm afraid I'll take it home and put it away, you just added gas inside, you can make it hard. Ao Fugui smiled.
After trying the fire, Ao Muyang saw that there were garlic sprouts, so he boiled the mussel meat, and cut the green onions, ginger and garlic, millet pepper and garlic sprouts.
When the water boiled, he took out the mussel meat and washed it in cold water, picked a few large pieces and threw them to the general, and fried the rest with boiling oil with chives, ginger, garlic and chili, put in garlic sprouts to enhance the flavor, and finally put the mussel meat, and made a pot over high heat.
The white mussel meat, the red millet pepper and the green garlic sprouts are the three colors that meet and shine brightly.
The loach is small, he first simply pickled it and then fried it, added chili peppers, green onions, ginger and garlic, and then put a handful of plum vegetables brought by Ao Fugui, and a fragrance suddenly came to his face.
Ao Fugui went back to get beer, peanuts and edamame, Ao Muyang wiped his hands and said, "Yo, you guy has everything." ”
Hearing this, the big young man smiled and said, "What's the fishing house in the village?"
Ao Muyang said: "It's just that the loach is a little small, and the mussel meat is a little old." ”
Ao Fugui poured him a glass of beer and said, "Come on, sheep, did you think this was five or six years ago? The loaches and river mussels were almost extinct, and these wild goods were given to me because I brought customers over, and some of them were eaten." ”
The golden beer was poured into the glass, and the weather was hot, and soon water droplets hung on the outside of the glass wall.
The two of them sat in the shade of the fragrant tree, put a small table and two small stools, and the beer stir-fry was also endless.
Ao Fugui put a chopstick clam meat in his mouth, and immediately gave a thumbs up and said: "Grass, good horse-stepping skills! Tender, really tender and fragrant!"
Ao Muyang said: "It's nothing, you eat more and scold less, how can you open and close your mouth is swearing?"
Ao Fugui smiled: "We are uneducated rough people, that's all." ”
"Less poor, come, rich, go one!" Ao Muyang raised his glass.
"Bell", the wine glass made a crisp sound, the golden wort rippled like a wave, and floating on it was the friendship between two young people who had been separated for many years but had not seen it.
