Chapter 44: The Tomb of the White Cat

Qianqian helped his grandfather walk in the nursing home for a while, and Fa Cai came from not far away with two empty buckets. Fa Cai looked at them with his face up and a smile.

"Bastard!" Mr. Zhang Qingchen stopped and looked at Facai and said. This sentence is Mr. Zhang Qingchen's mantra, and he likes to say this to everyone. At this time, Qianqian looked up at the woods not far away, and Zhang Hammer slowly walked down from the mountain forest in front of him. He walked through a small door in the gable, blood all over his head.

Looking at Zhang Hammer, who was covered in blood, she was frightened, and she was worried that Zhang Hammer would suddenly die. At this moment, Mr. Zhang Qingchen's daughter Manwen suddenly came back, and she saw Zhang Hammer, who was covered in blood, hurriedly pulled him and said, "How did you do it, break your head like this." Manwen graduated from the Wei Academy, she calmly helped Zhang Hammer back to her home, and then poured some water for Zhang Hammer to clean his wounds. After cleaning the wound, Manwen found some precious blood knots from home and sprinkled them on Zhang Hammer's head and bandaged him with gauze. After doing all this, Manwen said to Zhang Hammer: "You should be careful when you walk in the future, see if you fall yourself." Do you hear that? ”

Zhang Hammer sat on the stool and nodded, this stupid mentally retarded person actually understood Manwen's words.

Mr. Zhang Qingchen walked in the nursing home for a while, and the dean walked up to him as usual and handed him a cigarette to light up. The dean moved a stool from his office and put it in front of Mr. Zhang Qingchen and said, "Sit down." ”

"Hmm!" Mr. Zhang Qingchen nodded.

"Grandpa, didn't you say that the troops moved in? Why didn't you see them? ”

"They've been training in the mountains for the past few days." The dean said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Shallow thought of the injured Zhang Hammer, so he left his grandfather and went home. Back at home, Zhang Hammer had been bandaged by Manwen, Zhang Hammer obediently stood by Manwen's side, Manwen told him repeatedly: "Walk slower in the future, don't knock again, okay, you go back and rest." ”

"Auntie, is he okay?"

"Well, it's just a broken skin."

"Oh." After listening to it, I was relieved.

"Where's your grandfather?"

"Talk to the Dean outside."

"Linlin, when did you come?" Manwen asked as she went to the sink to wash her hands.

"It's almost noon."

"Mom, where's my cat, where's Zhang Mi?" Manwen remembered his white cat and asked his mother.

"It's sick, sleeping under the walnut tree?"

"How can you be sick?"

"I don't know, I've been sick for a few days."

When Manwen heard this, he walked under the walnut tree and picked up the white cat, and said lovingly, "Zhang Mi, what's wrong with you?" The white cat was listless, glanced at Manwen and closed his eyes.

"Zhang Mi seems to be very sick!" Manwen said distressedly.

"Hmm!" Zhang Shanxian walked over and looked at the white cat and said, "This cat is estimated to live for a short time, it sleeps with your father all day long, and your father will be sad if he dies." ”

"I'll feed it some medicine, and a dead horse will be a live horse doctor." Manwen put down the white cat and went to the house to dispense some medicine for the white cat to feed.

"Shallow, let's go to the pear forest in the factory later!" Linlin moved a stool and sat down under the walnut tree.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go play, it's time for the soldiers in the army to come down from the mountains at four or five o'clock, let's see."

"Oh! Good. ”

The two played in the yard for a while and then went to Lilinju, what Linlin said was right, when they arrived at Lilinju, there were young soldiers cooking together.

"I said that when I came in the morning, there were so many temporary earthen stoves in the factory, and my feelings were to make a big pot of rice." Shallowly.

"Little girl, you live in the factory?" A boy in a military uniform asked both of them.

"Hmm!" Linlin replied.

"Here, I'll put on a trick for you." The soldier immediately pricked up his horse and said to them.

"Unique?" Shallow is curious.

"Well, I'm unique." The soldier said as he jumped more than two meters high with a rope in his hand.

After looking at it, she turned around and wanted to leave, but the soldier stopped her and said, "Hey, how is it?" How's my stunt? ”

"That's what you're doing?" A shallow face of disdain.

"yes, how's that!" The soldier still asked confidently.

Qianqian didn't want to look any more and turned around and left, and the soldier shouted from behind: "Hey, don't go, I still have a unique job, show it to you."

It was cooking time, and several soldiers were squatting on the ground to kill chickens. One of the soldiers washed the chicken intestines with chopsticks in a basin, and without recognizing it, he asked, "What is this?"

"Chicken intestines."

"Can you eat this?"

"yes, it's delicious." The soldier replied as he crouched on the ground and cleaned up the chicken intestines. "Let's eat at our place later, and I'll give you a taste."

"Don't eat it!"

As they were talking, a handsome-looking soldier walked up from the downhill slope of the Lilinju and singing a song.

"You're really idle, you don't do anything, and you still sing." The soldier who was packing up the chicken intestines said to the soldier who came as he walked by.

"It's been a day of training, and I'm falling apart."

"Aren't you singing Xiaofang, there are two Xiaofang."

The soldier looked at Qianqian and Linlin and said enthusiastically: "Little girl, let's eat here later, and taste the craftsmanship of our Sichuan people."

Qianqian didn't want to stay anymore, so he went to other places with Linlin, at this time in the factory, there were soldiers walking around, and a lot of large temporary earthen stoves were built. When they saw Qianqian and Linlin, they shouted at them enthusiastically: "Girl, let's eat here, we cook deliciously."

"No!" Linlin replied.

It is also very good to see the shallow mood of these soldiers, they are enthusiastic and energetic.

"Let's go sit in Lilinju for a while!"

"Hmm!"

The two returned to Lilinju, the pear tree in Lilinju was full of green pears, and they picked one casually and put it in their mouths and bit it with an astringent taste.

"I'm not familiar yet!"

"I know, I just think it's fun."

"Let's go home!"

"Hmm!"

They left the pear grove and walked down the narrow stone steps, and next to the stone steps was a pomegranate tree full of fruit.

"It's such a great place to recuperate."

"Heh, there is mountain spring water here, it's very delicious!"

"I know!"

The two of them chatted and returned home.

After dinner in the evening, the white cat lay motionless under the walnut tree, and Mr. Zhang Qingchen pushed it with a cane, and called out in his mouth, "Zhang Mi, Zhang Mi." "The cat didn't move.

"Manwen, come here, Zhang Mi is dead." Mr. Zhang Qingchen hurriedly called his daughter. Hearing this, Qianqian and Linlin also rushed over.

Manwen was talking to her mother in the house when she heard her father call her and walked out the door and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Zhang Mi is dead." Linlin said.

Manwen listened, and immediately walked under the walnut tree and picked up the little white cat on the ground and said sadly: "Zhang Mi, Zhang Mi ......", Manwen was very sad, she didn't expect that this time back would be the last goodbye to her cat.

Manwen cried for a while, and then she went to find a small wooden sign on which she wrote a few big characters on the tomb of Zhang Mi.

"I'm going to make a tombstone for Zhang Mi." Manwen muttered to herself and took advantage of the night to go to the cherry tree behind the rabbit cage, and she dug a small pit and buried Zhang Mi next to the calendula. There is also a small wooden sign on Zhang Mi's small grave.

Manwen returned to the courtyard and said to his mother: "Our family's Zhang Mi should be well raised and buried, and when it is alive, it will follow our surname, and when it dies, it will also be our Zhang family's cat, and our Zhang family's surname."

The third aunt is so kind, and she thought silently in her heart, from Zhang Hammer's injury in the afternoon to the death of the white cat in the evening, everything she did deeply touched Qianqian.

The white cat died, and since then, the little white who jumped off his grandfather's head every morning has left. Mr. Zhang Qingchen woke up early in the morning, and as soon as he woke up, he turned on the radio, and the white cat jumped out of bed to hang out or find a place to continue sleeping. Since then, this beautiful and quiet day has completely taken away a trace of sadness with the death of the white cat.

Qianqian was also very sad, she couldn't sleep, so she found a book to read in the third aunt's bedroom. The books in the third aunt's bedroom are all medical, so she took out one casually and read it with great devotion.

This book is very peculiar, it introduces that it is normal for children to see ghosts around the age of twelve. If you can't see it at this age, you can't see it at this age. Oh, there is this saying in the medical book, and I am very surprised.

When he was sleeping, he asked the third aunt: "Auntie, have you ever seen a ghost?" I just read this medical book that says it's normal for children to see strange things when they're in their teens. ”

"I've seen it!"

"What have you seen?"

"It was right on that river in town that I saw a dragon fly into the sky."

"Really."

"Really, hey, what children see is real or false, don't take it seriously. When I was a child, I often listened to the old people tell nonsense, which was true and false, but it scared us children! ”

"I'm scared!"

"Kid you! What are you afraid of! ”

"She's making up nonsense for you, look at you're scared." Linlin disagreed. "Hurry up and go to sleep, tomorrow my sister will take you to pick moss."

"Hmm!"

Asa has nightmares as soon as she lives in this room, and she doesn't know what's going on. When she got up the next morning, she said to her grandmother, "Mother, I had another nightmare last night, and I was scared to death."

"It's fine!" Grandma disagreed.

"Hurry up and eat!" Linlin called her.

"Hmm!" Shallow went to the sink and washed his face, my grandfather had already gotten up, his radio was on the table, and the news was playing on the radio.

"Shallow, let your mother-in-law make dumplings for you at noon." Grandpa took a puff of his cigarette and said to Qianqian.

"Let's eat, grandpa." Asa put the rice in front of his grandfather.

"Hmm!" Grandpa nodded.

Linlin sat on the side and ate her meal, Manwen hadn't gotten up yet, she liked to sleep in.

Qianqian and Linlin went to the pear forest residence in the factory after breakfast, and they walked all the way, occasionally meeting a few soldiers. I don't know where they've all gone at this time of day.

They walked around Zhang's house and through the gable, where the morning dew covered the green hillside, behind which there were no trees, but covered with green moss, which clinged lightly to the damp earth. Gently tear off the moss and put it in a container.

"This moss is so delicious." Linlin said.

"I know, my dad and I used to come here a lot."
