7. Wait one
"Knock~"
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the sound of the doors closing was a little steaming, stumbling on the empty old streets of the alleys. It's still so deserted.
"Hey, Mr. Hero, are we really okay like this? Don't you need to prepare anything? My sister. That, the witch has to prepare the materials for a long time before refining the potion! The girl who was shining in the sun looked at the door of the store, and then at Chen Li, who was weak, the breathable red robe shook uneasily, and pushed down the black-framed glasses on the tip of her nose, and the baby's fat face showed a little apprehension, and said.
"It's fine." It looks like a secondary two, but it's not an idiot. Anyway, why did you just agree to it? Chen Li waved his hand, looked up at the scorching sun, scratched his head, forget it, there is nothing to do anyway, just play with him. said lazily, "Anyway, there is no business, I order and do it casually, and there is no point in preparing food." The only dish on the menu, stewed pork ribs, is already stewed on the stove, and there is nothing to do if you stay in the store, so you might as well go out for a walk. ”
"Oh." Su Yuexue glanced at the door of the store again, hugged the notebook in her arms, pursed her lips, and said seriously: "I will come to help you every afternoon in the future!" That,At night,I've got to go back early.,Or the witch won't let me out.。。 ”
"Well, whatever. Anyway, I don't have much business in the store, so it's not bad for you to come over and fill up, so it's up to you when you go back. Chen Li waved his hand again and walked out first. Anyway, don't you have to go to class? ”
"Uh-huh! That, Mr. Hero, it's summer vacation. Su Yuexue's little face smiled, and she kept up with small steps, "This summer vacation is very important, this is the last summer vacation of my youth, and the second school is the last trial, and I have to face the most cruel battle!" So, this time, be sure to find a way to defeat the witch and find something like that. ”
"That thing?" Chen Li covered his eyebrows with his hands, the noon sun was really annoying.
"No, then, what are we going to investigate first? Mr. Hero? Su Yuexue hurriedly shook her head and clumsily changed the topic.
Chen Li glanced at Su Yuexue, who was smiling dryly, and said weakly: "Which one is closer." The sun was too strong at noon. As he spoke, Yu Guang glanced at the robe on her body and continued, "I'm too lazy to go. ”
"That. . . Thank you, Mr. Hero, for being my partner. Su Yuexue lowered her head a little embarrassed, opened her notebook, and quickly flipped through it.
The sunlight shone on the ground white, and the paper seemed to have a constant glittering effect, which made people's eyes ache. Chen Li's eyes caught glimpse of the girl rubbing her eyes and raising her eyes to look ahead. Out of the alley, not far away is another old street, this area is old, many places still have inscriptions like boundary monuments, next to the old street is a piece, next to a vigorous old tree, under the lush canopy there are a few broken chairs, which are used by the old people nearby to occupy the cool position, and now they are empty. After all, at noon, except for the little brother who occasionally opened in a hurry, there were only Chen Li and Su Yuexue on the street.
"Let's go sit over there." Chen Li pointed to the shade of the tree and made an excuse for himself, "It's too hot, rest and rest." ”
Su Yuexue looked up at the shade of the tree, rubbed her eyes, hesitated, and said, "That, just walked out." ”
"Talk, now I'm the captain."
"Oh. . . All right.. Su Yuexue was a little aggrieved, and she didn't know why Chen Li was always so cold.
When I got closer, I found that the inscription on the stele had long been blurred, leaving only a few blade-like remnants, giving future generations infinite reverie. The two of them sat on a somewhat broken rattan chair, which was a little old, but unexpectedly comfortable.
"Well, let's investigate the cat case here, shall we?"
The shade of the tree leaked a little bright spot, shining into the eyes of Chen Li, who was looking up, as if he wanted to awaken his dusty heart.
"Well, whatever."
"Then, let me introduce you!" The sound was a bit brisk, with the sound of a breeze and paper churning.
"This is what Aunt Li told me nearby, she is a good person, she believes in a certain god called Shakyamuni, and often brings food to the stray cats in this neighborhood. A few days ago, she saw me looking for clues and provided me with a message, lately the cats in the neighborhood seem to be a little restless and often injured. ”
"Okay, I know why. Spring has arrived, everything has come to life, and it is the season for animals to grow. ”
"But, but it's summer now, huh?"
"Cats are not in estrus in season, they can grow as long as they are finished."
"But it's not possible to have so many at the same time."
Chen Li tilted his head and rolled down, looked at Su Yuexue, who was pouting, straightened his waist, and said seriously: "Could it be that it is the influence of that kind of thing?" ”
Su Yuexue was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips, and nodded solemnly, "Hmm!" That's what I thought, too. Hey, no, what's that thing? He tilted his head.
"That's what you say." Chen Li saw her confused appearance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.
"No, that shouldn't have such an effect. Could it be that my previous investigation went wrong? Su Yuexue's willow-like eyebrows furrowed, scratched her head, and flipped through her small notebook.
"Haha." Chen Li couldn't help laughing, looking at Su Yuexue, who was even more confused, he felt a lot more relaxed all of a sudden, slumped in the chair, and said, "Don't be entangled, let's ask the person directly." ”
"Huh? Party? ”
Su Yuexue looked at Chen Li suspiciously, and she didn't know where she found a small dried fish and threw it on the old tree.
"Meow!" [Who?] That bastard dares to attack me! 】
"Meow?" [Yay? Small dried fish? 】
A fluffy cat's head appeared on the stele, chewing something in its mouth, and glanced at the two people sitting below, and "meowed". [Oh, it turned out to be a shemale old man. 】
"Is it appropriate to call your savior this?" Chen Li looked at the black cat yesterday afternoon and said with a smile.
"Meow~" [Cut, it's as if I begged you to save me.] As for the shemales, I think it's quite appropriate, have you ever seen anyone who understands the great cat? As he spoke, he jumped down, limped over, sat on the ground, licked the wound on his paws, [Hey, I said, is there any dried fish? 】
"Yes, but you have to tell me something." Chen Li took out a small dried fish from his carry-on space, shook it, and said with a smile.
Su Yuexue looked at Chen Li and a cat with a confused expression, and it looked like she had a code, shook her head, patted her little face with her snow-white hand, gritted her teeth and whispered: "That, Mr. Hero, have you ever studied druid?" ”
"No, I haven't. That kind of green thing, how could a pacifist like me be. Chen Li immediately denied it, as if he didn't want to get involved in anything, turned his head and forcibly talked to the cat again, "The information is exchanged for dried small fish, and you seem to have injuries on your body, right?" I can get it for you, just tell me something. ”
"Meow~" [Cut, let's talk about what you want to know first!] As for the injuries on my body, this small injury is nothing to a male cat. 】
"Huh? Is the kitten hurt? Su Yuexue looked at the cat nervously, and stretched out her hand anxiously, as if she wanted to take a look. I know, it must be the reason for that thing! ”
"Meow!" [Female human, what do you want to do!] Take away your dirty hands! Believe it or not, Ben Meow bites you! 】
"Good little kitten, don't be afraid." Su Yuexue shrank for a moment, looked at the cat with teeth and claws, hesitated, and then comforted herself more than the cat, and carefully stretched out her hand again.
"Meow!" [I warn you, don't come here!] Otherwise, this meow is really moving! Hey, Lao Li, take care of your woman! Otherwise, don't blame Ben Meow for being injured by mistake! 】
"She's my friend. And, don't forget, I've been kind to you. ”
"Meow!" [Ahhh You keep this female away from Benmeow! 】
Chen Li ignored the cat's struggle, looked up at the street corner, and frowned. A woman dressed in goose-yellow Confucianism slowly walked out of the corner, the freehand landscape was painted on the oil-paper umbrella with bamboo handles, the white jade-like skin was crystal in the sun, and the long black hair was full of aura, as if she noticed Chen Li's gaze, looked over, and nodded with some surprise.
