Chapter 104: Mid-Empty Jinbi (4)
Autumn Pattern made eye contact with the wild cat's eyes.
There was a hint of pity in the wild cat's green eyes. Autumn Pattern inexplicably made eye contact with it. She held the wild cat in her arms, and the wild cat became unusually obedient, curled up in Akiwen's arms and remained motionless.
Ximo walked towards the carriage. Because the horse was staggering, the cart was about to fall. Qiu Wen said: "Uncle, this must also be the housekeeper who came to incense, if she is really injured, she will definitely be unable to move." Let's take a look, it may help! ”
Ximo straightened the carriage with his own strength. A little girl in the carriage was frightened, her mouth open, her eyes wide, and she looked stunned. The young woman, who was a little more gorgeously dressed, was also frightened, but somehow she covered her eyes and nose tightly with her sleeves.
This made Ximo puzzled: "Two, the carriage has been straightened, you shouldn't need to worry." ”
When the little girl heard this, she wiped the sweat on her face with a handkerchief, and kept saying "Amitabha", which meant gratitude. "Aunt Xue, it's this son......"
Xue Yan just covered her face, she didn't want Shi Ximo and Wei Qiuwen to see her appearance. They must be amazed. The time is not yet ripe. Xue Yan still didn't put down her sleeves, and said softly: "Thank you for this son." The slave family is a family person, and it is inconvenient to see a strange man when he goes out to worship incense, so please forgive the son. ”
Ximo naturally gave up.
Qiu Wen listened to it, but felt that this woman's voice was slightly familiar, and she couldn't remember who she looked like for a while.
The snow goose asked the little girl to lower the curtain, and the groom came over again, asking if you still want to go forward? Snow Goose changed her mind and went back another day. The groom turned the horse's head, and the snow goose opened the curtain again, staring at the backs of Ximo and Qiuwen, hating in his heart, and muttering to himself: "Is the Shifu great, is the Shifu very beautiful?" One day, I will make it impossible for you to die a good death. Can my golden warbler's suffering be in vain? And wait for me......"
The little girl was startled when she heard this, and asked tremblingly, "Auntie, what are you talking about?" ”
Xue Yan glanced at her: "You, you are deaf only today, no matter what I say, I am only allowed to enter my left ear and go out of my right ear." ”
The little girl stared at her eyes, she was a little afraid of the snow geese, and she didn't dare to ask at all. The carriage drifted away, and the snow goose's mouth was even more unclean. The little girl was even more frightened, her aunt usually looked at a face that was still amiable, but now she seemed to be a different person, looking fierce and vicious.
At that time, Autumn Moon took the cat and came to a small river on the side of the road. She was going to clean the wild cat of all the filth. The cat was comfortably washed, and its mouth kept meowing. Ximo squatted down, looked at the blue-eyed wild cat, and asked, "It seems that you are going to adopt it." ”
Autumn pattern nodded: "Not bad." It probably has something to do with me. ”
"Good. This was a bonus. Ximo asked Qiuwen what name he planned to give the cat.
Qiu Wen thought about it for a while, and said, "Skewers, what do you think, uncle?" ”
"Skewers?"
"Yes. As soon as it saw me, it ran over me. It can be called scurrying, which is not as good as strings. Autumn Pattern grinned at Ximo. The sun is up, and the weather is nice today. The bright sun shone on Akira's face, and her teeth were white and bright. Ximo's heart moved even more.
"The skewers are really good. I also like the name. ”
Ximo called "skewers" to the cat. This cat has spirituality, and he knew that this name was called himself, so he stared at Ximo with his eyes and shook his tail. Qiu Wen didn't know, but this cat was spiritual, born in Siam. This cat slipped out of the palace. It understands everything except that it can't speak.
Autumn Moon hugged the cat and picked a little fruit for it casually on the side of the road. The cat didn't even look at the fruit, and it was obvious that he couldn't look down on it. Qiu Wen said strangely: "Little things, small skewers, if you don't eat fruit, what do you want to eat?" ”
Ximo said: "Probably it wants to eat fish and shrimp, or cat food." ”
In Jiangcheng Market, there is already food for cats and dogs in the shop. In fact, it is a coarse grain, but a little sun-dried fishmeal and minced shrimp are added to the coarse grain.
Akira is the first time I've heard of cat food.
"Let's go. Maybe there is one in the Panlong Temple. ”
Ximo tells Autumn Moon that her mother is a pet lover. According to Wang Gui's family, a cat happened to die a while ago, and Mrs. was still uncomfortable for some time. When Ximo heard about it, his heart was gloomy. In the mother's heart, there are cats and dogs, and his son's status in her heart is probably the same as those cats and dogs. He only endured the discomfort in his heart, and he couldn't see it on his face. "Autumn pattern, how about I gave this cat to my mother?"
Autumn Pattern nodded, but the cat protested in her arms, meowing non-stop, and trying to jump out of her arms and flee to other trees.
"Uncle, you see, it doesn't want to." Autumn Pattern looked embarrassed.
"If you don't want to, then you keep it. If you want cat food, I'll buy it. "Ximo is very good at talking. He could see that with this cat, Qiu Wen's expression seemed to be more cheerful and his smile was more.
Ximo didn't know that Qiuwen liked cats so much, naturally because of her past experience. She worked at her adoptive mother's house, and every night when she was very tired, a cat would sneak in through the window and be with Autumn Pattern. It's incredible to say. The cat and Autumn Pattern have been together for a long time, and they have really given birth to a lot of affection. When the old cat saw that Qiu Wen was hungry, when he came, he often had a little bone or a little beef in his mouth, and he didn't know where he got it. Anyway, when the old cat saw that the food was placed on the grinding plate, it was cooked very cleanly. Autumn pattern took it, washed it, and ate it, and it tasted good. The old cat must have gone to some big house to steal it. Autumn Pattern can't bear it, but there is no good thing for the old cat, only a little fruit. The old cat did not dislike it, and when he ate wild fruits, his mouth was sloppy, and his speed was extremely fast.
Winter is coming, the weather is cold, and the old cat is gradually not coming, and the autumn pattern is very missed. Once, when the weather was a little warmer and Akimoru was washing clothes in the backyard, he heard a few low pheal cat calls, which seemed to be hiding in a corner. She left her job and searched for it, finding the wild cat under a few broken tiles. Autumn Pattern was surprised. The fat cat, which was originally fat, went through a cold winter, and was black and thin. She held the old cat in the palm of her hand, and was even more heartbroken to find that the old cat's two legs were beaten by someone and made it difficult to move. Autumn pattern feeds hot water to the cat. The old cat took a few sips, motionless, and his body was shy. Autumn Moon thought that the wildcat had only broken its leg and was not injured elsewhere. She made an excuse, cut a strand of her hair, took it to the market and sold it, exchanged it for two pieces of cooked meat, hid it in her cuffs, and went to the backyard to feed the old cat. Unexpectedly, under the sun, the old cat died. Autumn Pattern is very sad. Although this old cat is a livestock, he does things more humanly than people. She buried the old cat in a clearing in the backyard and planted a mulberry sapling in the clearing.
Thinking of the old cat, Akimo's heart is still sad. She made up all the guilt for the old cat on the skewers. The two of them arrived outside the Panlong Temple as they spoke.
There are not many carriages and horses outside the temple gate, almost none.
Ximo was slightly surprised, and suddenly remembered that today was her mother's birthday. On the mother's birthday, the abbot of the temple always informed the pilgrims who came to offer incense in advance that they did not have to come on a certain day of the month because there was something important in the temple.
Today is a coincidence.
Mrs. Jade has a strange temperament, and she does not hesitate to be lively every birthday. In her eyes, the pilgrims who came and went in the temple were different from before, and they had become annoying. The sound of the carriage and horses also made her uncomfortable. The abbot was considerate. It is nothing for pilgrims to come back every other day, and it is nothing to make a little less daily living, as long as Madame Yu is happy.
The abbot is not stupid. Mrs. Jade is the pilgrim who donates the most in Panlong Temple. Madame Yu is generous, and a little silver money is better than those pilgrims of a dozen people. Of course, the people who come to Panlong Temple to offer incense are all rich and noble, and they are not stingy one by one. But it's not as good as Mrs. Jade. This abbot is not the old abbot of the past. After the old abbot passed away, the new abbot came to the temple. The new abbot is kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable about Buddhism. But there is only one, but it cannot be seen through the money. Every night, I like to take out the account book and count the sesame oil money little by little in front of the oil lamp. After a few counts, the abbot's face smiled.
On Mrs. Yu's birthday, the abbot will also ask the layman to prepare longevity noodles and peaches, some vegetarian fruits, and vegetarian noodles. It doesn't cost a few bucks. But the abbot is a man again. She would roll up her sleeves and go to the kitchen herself, and bring a bowl of noodles to Madame Yu.
"It's my mother's birthday, so it's so quiet here."
"It's Madame's birthday?" Autumn Pattern can't help but panic. Birthdays should be lively, and gifts should be prepared. But when she arrived here, the uncle told her that it was too late to buy anything.
Ximo seemed to see that she was worried, so she comforted: "It's okay." My mother didn't want anything. When you see her, you can just say hello to her. ”
"Is that all it takes?"
"I just said yes."
"In the end, empty-handed......"
Autumn Moon looked at the big willow tree in front of the temple and suddenly had an idea. She put the cat down, picked a few wickers from the treetops with a very clever gesture, and skillfully braided left and right, almost in the blink of an eye, Ximo didn't look carefully, and Qiuwen had two more new willow baskets in his hand.
The willow basket has a novel style, and it looks really indescribably good-looking, and Ximo can see it for a while. He took the willow basket and looked left and right, suddenly understood in his heart, and asked with a smile: "Qiu Wen, don't you want to give these two things to my mother as a birthday gift?" ”
Qiu Wen nodded: "Uncle, can this be made?" ”
"Make, make it." Ximo even admired Qiu Wen's dexterity, "Where did you learn this?" ”
