"Painting the Soul" side story of "Jinhua Cat" (I)
I lay on the green brick wall at the east end of the garden, more than one person high, waiting for the man to appear. The sound of cicadas chirping on the magnolia tree next to me www.biquge.info disturbing people's hearts, if it were normal, I would have jumped on the branches and grabbed them one by one, but now, I don't want to do it. Because when the man leaned on the trunk of the tree to paint, he once said: The sound of the cicadas in the tall tree into the evening clouds is not only for me but also for you. I don't know what this verse means, but whatever comes out of his mouth I find it very beautiful. He must have liked the cicadas here, otherwise how could he be smiling when he said this?
Ah Yuan walked towards me along the courtyard wall, curled into a black and white ball and squatted beside me, it was really getting closer to its name, and it was estimated that in a few days, it would be no different from a football.
"Lying here every day waiting for him, did he bring you a small fish to dry? Or maybe it's a whole meat ham sausage? β
I snorted coldly in my nose and ignored it. Ah Yuan is Ah Yuan, how could it know that there is something in this world that is more attractive and deadly than delicious food. It's like a toxin that, once produced, circulates in your bloodstream and never runs out until the day you die.
I will always remember the first time I saw him, that day, I was chasing a big butterfly with white flowers on a yellow background on the grass, this butterfly was very clever, it circled me in the grass a few times, and then landed lightly on my back, no matter how much I turned around and bit it, I couldn't catch it with my claws. Just as I was panting and preparing to attack again, I heard a laugh behind me, soft and low, that made my heart stir.
I looked back and saw a man standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, his hair was longer than the average man, slightly up to the neck, but not as scruffy as other long-haired men. His whole person is like his soft hair, flowing and agile, chic and uninhibited.
"Ami, you don't think this looks like you." He laughed and took out a blank piece of paper and shook it at me, I saw that on the white paper, it was a white-haired kitten who was flirted with anger, this is not who I am, it turned out that he had been secretly observing me under the white magnolia just now, and then sketched my appearance vividly.
At this moment, the butterfly on my back seized the opportunity, waved its wings and flew away, and when I came back to my senses, I found that there was no trace of it around me. I was suddenly a little angry, this guy not only hid in the shadows to watch my jokes, but also indirectly let my prey go.
I glanced at him, turned around and wanted to leave. But I didn't expect that gentle voice to sound again: "Ami, this is for you." "What's that, dried fish? Could it be that he thinks that I'm like Ah Yuan, and when he sees something delicious, he will scream and rush forward? But as I thought so, I turned around and walked towards him as if I was enchanted. He had a magnolia flower in his hand, and when he saw me at my feet, he squatted down and pinned it to my long hair.
"Ami," he looked down at me, "you're pretty, prettier than any cat I've ever seen." With that, he stood up, "See you tomorrow." β
I looked at the figure that was fading away, and felt that my cheeks were hot for a while, but fortunately, it was covered with white cat hair, and no one should be able to see my gaffe.
I stood up anxiously, raised my neck and looked into the distance, he came so late today, the sun is going down and hasn't come yet, is it possible, he is not ready to come?
"Hey, he's coming." Ah Yuan suddenly shouted towards the outside of the brick wall.
"Where?" I hurriedly turned back to look for it, but the moment I turned around, I was pushed off the wall by Ah Yuan's palm.
"Hahaha," Ah Yuan laughed breathlessly with his belly facing up, "Xiaobai, it turns out that you were deceived by me this day." β
"I told you, I'm not called Xiaobai anymore, my name is Ami." I retorted, and was about to get up from the grass, but a heart-piercing pain hit me on my right paw, "Oh my God," I cried out in pain, "my foot seems to be broken." β
"You stinky Yuan who doesn't know how important it is." I curled up and yelled at Ah Yuan with all my might.
"You're hurt." The familiar voice came, and then I felt my body hold up by a warm, soft thingβhis palm. "Come with me, I'll take you to the hospital."
I think, Ah Yuan is really my benefactor, if he didn't have such a palm, how could I be so peaceful on his chest, and how could I have completely entered his life from now on. In his arms, I watched with gratitude as Ah Yuan's figure grew smaller and smaller. Yuan looked at me too, but there was sympathy in his eyes that I couldn't understand.
Under his careful care, my injuries healed quickly. One day, when I was lying at his feet comfortably basking in the sun, he suddenly put down the book in his hand and said to me: "Ami, I have been locked up at home all day long, are you very lonely, you must also miss your little friends, I will send you back in a few days, okay?" I ignored him and pretended to sleep at his feet. The next day, when he whispered to me from a plate full of food, I deliberately lifted my injured right paw up and limped towards him.
"Wasn't it okay the other day? How? "The concern in his eyes was like the sunshine in March, and it made me feel warm. I love this unsolvable concern so much that I am so reluctant to part with him for half a step.
A few days later, he was sent out on a business trip, although it was only three days, but he was still afraid that something would happen to me at home, so he not only stocked me up with enough food and water, but also told the neighbor next door to come over every day to help me clean up the feces and play with me for another hour. But he didn't know that the little girl in the neighborhood would stand on the stool in fright every time she came over, because I couldn't always be kind to her, especially when I found her staring at his album stupidly.
Three days later, he finally returned, and the moment the door opened, I was so excited that I threw myself at him.
He picked me up, "Ami, aren't you injured in your right paw?" Why did it become the left foot this time? β
I was scared stupid, and when it was over, I blamed myself for being so excited, and this time I got my foot wrong. Will he blame me for lying to him and kicking me out immediately?
"Ami," he smiled suddenly, tapping his finger on my forehead, "you want to stay, don't you?" That's why I used this method. Then, from now on, you will live with me, but you can't slip away because of loneliness. β
