Chapter 1 A flash of inspiration
"Mom, I'm going to see Lao Huang. ”
Qin Shan walked down the stairs with a bag and said to his mother, who was swiping her mobile phone in the cash register.
The family has a four-story building, and a small supermarket has opened on the first floor, and the business is not bad.
"Go to see Lao Huang again?"
Mother Ye Zhenghong, who was sitting in the swivel chair, glanced at him, continued to swipe her mobile phone, and counted in her mouth: "You haven't gone downstairs for three days, I think you should find a female classmate to take a look." ”
Qin Shan's face was full of black lines, he didn't answer, turned around and walked out of the door.
Outside the door is the main road of traffic, which has just been repaired for a few years, and is an extension of the main road in the city, the north-south road.
The extension line is not long, it is less than two kilometers, and it is connected with the ring road, and at the end of the road is a mountain bag more than 20 meters high, and the destination of Qinshan is there.
From the path to the top of the mountain, Qin Shan walked to a small earthen bag, and looked at the swaying dog's tail grass on the earthen bag in surprise: "Lao Huang, did you manifest yourself?"
The dog's tail grass is slightly brownish-yellow, similar to the old yellow tail before.
After carefully looking at the dog's tail grass for a while, and touching it a few more times, Qin Shan squatted down happily, took out a basin from the bag, and took out a bag of unopened dog food, tore it and poured it in, and then put it in front of the small earthen bag.
After doing all this, Qin Shan sat down on the stone next to him, looked at Tubao and said, "Lao Huang, I haven't come to see you for three months because of the sprint for the college entrance examination, but I still failed, and I didn't go online by seven points." ”
After a pause, Qin Shan sighed and said, "Am I a failure?" I didn't get into college, so I can only serve dishes in the future. ”
A breeze blew, and the dog's tail grass swayed gently, as if comforting.
There was a chirping bird chirping next to him, and Qin Shan turned his head to look, and a very beautiful red bird landed on the small tree next to him.
"You're here again?"
Qin Shan looked at the little red bird and smiled, poured out a small handful from the dog food bag, stood up and raised his hand to the little red bird: "Come and eat, don't grab Lao Huang's." ”
The little red bird chirped a few times, fluttered its wings and landed on Qin Shan's hand, bowing its head and pecking at the dog food.
"Why do you like dog food as a bird?"
Qin Shan looked at the little red bird that was eating happily, full of puzzlement.
After eating for a while, the little red bird lowered its head and slid Qin Shan's palm a few times, chirped and flew back to the small tree, and began to comb its feathers slowly.
Qin Shan sat down again, looked at the little dirt bag and babbled a lot, and didn't get up until the sun was about to go down.
Looking at the dog's tail grass on the dirt bag and thinking for a long time, Qin Shan said: "Lao Huang, you changed this dog's tail grass, right? ”
There was no wind, and the dog's tail grass was still swaying.
"You promised?"
Qin Shan was full of surprise, found a stick, poured the dog food in the pot on the ground, carefully dug out the dog's tail grass with mud and put it into the pot, grabbed some soil to fill the soil bag again, and then poured out all the dog food in the bag and sprinkled it around the soil bag, and waved his hand to the little red bird that was still parked on the tree, and then picked up the pot and went down the mountain.
When he got home, Qin Shan showed his mother the dog tail grass in his hand, and talked about what happened just now, and Ye Zhenghong was a little gloomy when he heard it: "Lao Huang has been with our family for more than ten years, and he still watched you born and raised, hey...... In the blink of an eye, it was gone for three years......"
"Now it's back. ”
Qin Shan looked at the dog's tail grass in his hand and smiled, and went upstairs to settle down.
Looking at his son's back, Ye Zhenghong's lips moved, and he didn't say anything in the end.
Lao Huang is a golden retriever, and the couple raised it before they had Qinshan, and they have always been loyal, and they are extremely protective of Qinshan, but unfortunately they died three years ago.
At that time, Qin Shan was still in the third year of junior high school, and when he heard that Lao Huang was in danger, he rushed back from school desperately, hugged it for the last moment, and then cried heartbreakingly.
Because the mountain bag is close there, you can see it when you go out, Qin Shan insisted on burying Lao Huang there, and went to visit every three or five days, and talked for a while in front of the small earthen bag where Lao Huang was buried.
Then until now, Qin Shan went to see Lao Huang for the first time in three months, and it was the first time that Lao Huang had been separated for such a long time since he got old.
Since transplanting the dog's tail grass back, Qin Shan is no longer so depressed, and in addition to taking care of it every day, he helps his mother take care of the store.
The dog's tail grass grows very well, almost twice as thick as the average dog's tail grass, and the color becomes darker and darker as the days disappear, and it is about to ripen.
Half a month passed like this.
At dinner, Ye Zhenghong went to the local station she often watched, and a wanted notice appeared on the TV, and the announcer said with a solemn face: "...... The man in his forties had already killed three people, and he was extremely vicious. At present, there is evidence that he has escaped to our territory in Jiangyang County...... If someone can catch or provide effective clues, a reward of 100,000 yuan will be ......"
"Haven't caught it yet?" Ye Zhenghong's face was faintly worried. She had heard about this for several days, and she couldn't imagine that it was still over.
"I heard that thousands of people were dispatched to arrest them, but they haven't been caught yet, I really don't know what so many people are doing for food. Father Qin Kaida's tone was full of hatred, and iron does not become steel.
After a pause, Qin Kaida looked indifferent again: "Anyway, the fugitives don't dare to go to crowded places, what is there to worry about." ”
"Just your heart is ......"
Qin Shan ignored his parents' bickering, but was moved by the reward of 100,000 yuan: if there were 100,000 yuan, even if he didn't go to college, it would be enough to start his own business......
At night, the moon is full and the moonlight is shining.
Qin Shan was shirtless on the balcony to cool off, swiping his mobile phone in his hand, and there was a dog's tail grass on the small table in front of him.
After brushing for a while, Qin Shan felt that it was not interesting, and then picked up the dog's tail and muttered: "Lao Huang, how good it would be if you could come back, it would be most comfortable to sleep with you in my arms." ”
The moonlight sprinkled down, the leaves of the dog's tail grass were still verdant, the long flower stem shook slightly, the leaves suddenly glowed with a faint green light, flashed and quickly cohesive, in Qin Shan's stunned expression, rushed along the flower stem to the big flower cluster, shone a few times in the dense flower feathers, gathered a little at the top, and quickly flew out and rushed into his forehead.
"Roar~"
"Whew~"
"Baa~"
"Chirp~"
......
The tiger roars, the leopard howls, the jackal howls, the wolf howls, the eagle chirps, the crane chirps, the rooster cries, and the dog barks......
The voices of countless birds, animals, domestic animals and poultry sounded in his mind, and Qin Shan could understand the joys, sorrows, and sorrows expressed in the calls.
In an instant, Qin Shan felt that he could communicate with all spirits, and he could understand what any animal said.
In the slight sound, the seeds of dog's tail grass fell on the flower pots, and the flower feathers floated gently into the night sky like dandelions.
"What the hell is the ......?"
The voice in his head disappeared, and a huge feeling of dizziness hit, Qin Shan muttered and struggled to stand up, staggered back to the room, and fell on the bed with a "snap", and after a while, he made a snoring sound.
He had a dream, and in the dream, Lao Huang returned to his side, and there were many birds and beasts beside him, chirping and fluttering, and he actually understood the meaning of each of their chirps, including every "Wang" of Lao Huang.
On his smooth body, a faint luster wrapped, looming, transforming his body little by little, and it disappeared for a long time.
