Chapter 18: The Sugar Cake is Gone

But when Mama Li turned off the lights and lay in the dark, the willow branches suddenly understood that the white sugar cake must have slept with Brother Xiaochun like this.

I brought the white sugar cake by myself, and Brother Xiaochun is now sleeping alone in the broken boat. Her nose was sour, but Mama Li was on the side, and Liu Zhi tried her best to hold back. Brother Xiaochun is so pitiful alone, I'd better return the sugar cake when I'm empty, and I can go to Brother Xiaochun to see it when I miss the cat in the future. Willow Branch thought about it and fell asleep.

Probably thinking about returning it, Liu Zhi stayed in the kitchen and was tired of the sugar cake and didn't want to move, so he hugged the big white cat to watch Li's mother do things. The white sugar cake suddenly had a sharp ear, and with a meow, Liu Zhi only felt a gust of wind, and her instinct flashed, and she saw Fu Dan'er tsk: "I almost caught it." ”

"What are you doing?" Liu Zhi hugged the white sugar cake and asked vigilantly.

"Sister, can you play with the cat for me?"

"Not good!" Willow Branch simply refused, and turned around to change positions, far away from him.

Fu Dan'er's eyes were rolling, he didn't know what he was thinking, he took a step towards the willow branch, and the willow branch screamed: "If you take another step, I will beat you!" ”

Mother Li hurriedly inserted between the two: "Dan'er, you go out obediently, I'll give you a piece of meat to eat." ”

Fu Dan'er thought about it, increased the price and said, "Give me two pieces and I'll leave." ”

Li's mother gave him two pieces of white fried meat, and he ate it out of the kitchen, and Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "I hate it when I see it, I want to hide the white sugar cake, so as not to make him bad idea." ”

"Brother, brother, sister have a cat and hang a golden bell!" Fu Dan'er jumped up and down to find Fu Dog.

Fu Gou'er's eyes widened as he came out of the shop: "You read that right? ”

"Really, I just went to the kitchen to see what to cook for the evening, and I saw my sister holding a big white cat, and she was arguing with me. The bell is so big—"Fu Dan'er gestured, "It's yellow, it's not gold." The uncle's family is so generous, and the little sister has a golden lock, and the cat has a golden bell. ”

Li Chun knew that it was inconvenient for the Liuzhi family to come to the door, so he endured it for several days. He picked up the fish from the basket and threw it into the Qingshui River again, watching the fish swim out of the water in a daze with freedom and happiness, thinking about what she said, Brother Xiaochun, you are the best for me, I don't want other brothers except you.

On this day, he hunted a very alive and strong herring, thinking about sending it to Liu's house, and by the way, he looked at the twig; A few more small fish were picked up and ready to be given to the cat. When he walked into Tianshuijing Street, he happened to see Liu Wang sending people out, it was the white-bearded doctor Liu, followed by the little boy who carried the medicine box for him, ah, someone is sick, is it Xiaozhi? Before he could say hello to Liu Wang, a burst of shouting and scolding erupted from the end of the street.

Sweet Water Well Street got its name because there is an old well at the end of the street, the water is sweet and clear, and residents can use it at will, which is really convenient. So usually the neighborhood takes great care of this well, but in the past two days there is a peculiar smell in the water, and as a result, a dead cat has just been fished out of the well, and everyone in the neighborhood is scolding who is so immoral and smoking.

Li Chun's dark complexion looked like it had faded at this time, his lips were discolored, he used all his strength to squeeze through the crowd and squeeze to the front, his heart tightened into a ball, and he screamed "Xiaobai" hoarsely.

The corpse was swollen, but he recognized it as his Xiaobai, and there was a hemp rope around his neck. Li Chun couldn't hear what everyone was saying, he knelt on the ground, and finally gathered the strength to regain his strength, he took off his coat and wrapped the white cat that was soft and rotten, and then slowly got up. His eyes were blurry, and his ears were buzzing, and he only held the dead cat tightly to his chest, for fear that someone would rob him of his treasure, his clothes were already ragged, and the bag was not complete, and he saw a wet cat tail hanging down, dripping all the way.

Everyone knew that the kid was only afraid of being stunned, but no one dared to reach out to stop him when they saw his eyes. Liu Wang watched in the crowd, feeling weak and guilty, and finally had to hide his face and return home like a thief.

A smell of medicine hovered in the courtyard, and Li's mother decocted the medicine under the eaves. Liu Zhi sat on a small bamboo chair and watched, and when he saw his father coming back and called "Daddy", he asked again: "What is Daddy arguing about outside, has the white sugar cake been found?" "In just a few days, the round face of the willow branch was cut off a layer, and I cried a lot, and my eyes were red and wet, swollen and bubbled.

Liu Wangwei was distressed, and only comforted her: "Zhi'er don't worry." Cats are the most eccentric, and they will find a place to go. ”

A string of tears from Liu Zhi dripped onto the embroidered shoes: "The white sugar cake was given to me by Brother Xiaochun, but I lost it, Brother Xiaochun will hate me." ”

After a few days, Liu Zhi was still shrinking at home and refused to go out, Liu Wang couldn't help but sigh, did this child value the cat or Li Chun.

This morning, Li's mother was going out to buy vegetables, and deliberately said: "I want to buy a fish today, and the doctor said that the lady's body should boil more fish soup to drink." ”

Liu Zhi glanced up at her, with tears in her eyes and an indescribable grievance. Mother Li came over and took out a handkerchief to wipe her: "Hey, my girl, it's just a cat that ran away, maybe it ran away by itself." Cats are not familiar in the first place, why are you afraid of being like this, and you won't get out of the door. Could it be that Li Chun will tell you to lose money? It's just how big the loss is, and where to catch one for him. ”

That's not the case. These adults simply don't understand that it's not just a problem with a random cat. Liu Zhi followed Mama Li with a basket of vegetables, and said in her heart. Brother Xiaochun has no father and mother, and he has no brothers and sisters, and the white sugar cake is his relative, but I lost his relatives, and Brother Xiaochun will be sad to know. Woo, I hate those three to death, they are not my brothers, they know how to bully people, I don't want them to come to the house again, woo.

The boats returning from fishing docked and laid out their morning's harvest in large log basins. Everyone knows that Li's mother only buys Li Chun's fish, and she only smiles on weekdays, but today she shouts, "Sister-in-law, buy my house, Li Da has no fish today", "Li everyone hasn't been in the net for two days, Xiaochun is sick, no one does anything, and my sister-in-law wants any fish."

Liu Zhi heard that Brother Xiaochun was sick, and he was so shocked that the vegetable basket was unstable. He has always been strong, and in his heart he will always be that lively and alert look, always very energetic; Why are you sick? Do you take any medication? Is it serious?

The willow branch tugged at his heart, and secretly moved out of the human crack to the river. The dilapidated boat was parked alone, and no one answered the willow branch's two calls, and she turned around and bumped into a body, and almost fell into the river, ah, it was him.

Liu Zhi timidly called "Brother Xiaochun", but he didn't dare to call again. In the past, he was always smiling when he saw himself, but the first time he saw him so expressionless, tears burst into tears. Brother Xiaochun hates me, his eyebrows are furrowed, he must know that I lost the white sugar cake.
