Chapter 6: Snowy Night (2)

Suddenly a strong wind blew outside the cave, and the snow began to fall. Hu Li carefully placed the two kittens on the ground, then put the flashlight aside, and shaved the snow with both hands, about six or seven centimeters, before he saw the color of the soil. Hu Li stood up again and went to find a sturdy branch to dig a hole in. After looking for a while, he was stunned when he looked back.

"Da Bing, I'll come, you can go into the cave and rest for a while." It turned out that Da Bing was constantly digging the pit with its front paws, Hu Li looked a little sad, and stopped Da Bing with a voice. Da Bing heard Hu Li's voice, stopped his paws, looked at Hu Li and said "woo" a few times, looking from Hu Li, Da Bing's eyes were filled with tears, and his tail hung down weakly. Hu Li saw that he was more and more distressed, and hurriedly went over and knelt on the ground and dug hard. Da Bing looked at the two kittens who were lying on the ground and couldn't move, and slowly lay next to the two cats, and the whining sound appeared intermittently in this snowy night.

After a while, Hu Li dug the hole, touched Da Bing's head, pulled Da Bing away a little, and put the two kittens into the pit with both hands. Da Bing looked at them and suddenly shouted twice. When Hu Li heard this, he stopped his hands that were about to hold the soil and bury it, and said to Da Bing: "Da Bing, did you just run here at that time, hug them for a long time, to be honest, you did your best, it's okay, Da Bing, how normal it is to part with life and death." Hu Li said, in fact, he knew that Da Bing couldn't understand his words, but he still spoke, Da Bing was silent, Hu Li hurriedly filled the surrounding soil into the pit and buried the two kittens.

Da Bing seemed to be in a very low mood, and slowly walked into the cave with his tail between his legs. Hu Li also picked up the flashlight and followed.

"Hu Li, why is Da Bing so unhappy." Zhou Qian hugged the still alive kitten, and sat cross-legged on the ground without paying attention to it. Da Bing, who had just stepped into the cave first, also lay in a corner of the cave, opening his eyes to look at the kitten in Zhou Qian's hand.

"When I met Da Bing, he was still a little milk dog, I met him in the garbage heap on the side of the street, it was raining heavily that day, and he almost died there, and an old man brought him home and raised it, and then he came to me." Hu Li said a few words, then sat next to Da Bing and gently stroked Da Bing's head.

"No wonder ......," Zhou said.

"I can't go back now, it's starting to snow heavily outside again, so I'll go home at dawn, can I hold on for a while?" Hu Li looked at Da Bing and asked Zhou Qian.

"Okay, let's go back when the day starts to dawn, I feel this cat is hungry, go back early and get some milk for him."

Hu Li said "um" and did not continue to speak, as if Da Bing had returned to him, and he had regained that calm, but it only made people feel more and more sad.

There was a terrible silence in the cave.

"Hu Li, give it a name." Zhou Qian was the first to break the calm, looked at the sleeping kitten, and said to Hu Li.

"I don't know." Hu Li smiled at Zhou Qian and spoke slowly.

"Take one."

"Let's call it 'Snowy Night.'" Hu Li said, looking out of the cave behind him, the wind was still blowing, and the whirring sound was getting stronger and stronger.

"Okay, let's call it Snowy Night. To be honest, it's the first time I think dogs are so sensible and care about people, and the same is true for cats, Da Bing is really different. Zhou Qian suddenly turned to Da Bing.

"It's been very sensible since it was a child, and no one has taught it, so it probably doesn't make it easy for me to survive." Hu Li was a little melancholy, I don't know why, the memories of the past two days always emerge unconsciously.

"Sometimes I think these animals are amazing."

"Maybe they know more about gratitude than people. If Xue Ye hadn't met us, he would have left soon. ”

"Uh-huh."

"Hu Li, do you think they will hold grudges and remember those who abandoned them."

"Perhaps, but what's the use, it's good to be alive, as you said first, if the people who threw Snow Night hadn't put them in this cave, maybe they would have died a long time ago, and where would there be wine." Hu Li said, leaning against the cave wall and closing his eyes, "You can also rest, it took a long time to find here." ”

"It's so cold, I can't sleep." Zhou Qian looked at the light from the flashlight under his feet and said timidly.

"It's okay to close your eyes and rest for a while. Da Bing, you go sleep next to your sister's lap to get warmer. After Hu Li finished speaking, Da Bing slowly moved to Zhou Qian's leg and rested his head on Zhou Qian's leg. By the way, turn off the flashlight, or the battery will run out. As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Li turned off the flashlight in his hand. Zhou Qian was a little hesitant, but still did so.

After that, the cave fell into darkness and silence, with only the entrance to the cave and the occasional whirring wind.

About forty or fifty minutes later.

"Hu Li, are you asleep?" Zhou Qian has not slept holding the cat with one hand and touching Da Bing's head with the other, Hu Li said before that he came to hug Xueye, but she said that she was reluctant.

"Nope." Zhou Qian's voice fell for a long time before Hu Li answered.

"What are you thinking?" Zhou Qian was obviously happy to hear Hu Li's voice, and spoke happily again.

"Little things, nothing." Hu Li's tone sounded a little lost, and Zhou Qian subconsciously wanted to turn on the flashlight beside him to see what was wrong with Hu Li, but he just picked it up, shook it for a moment, and gently put it on the ground.

"Okay, Hu Li, tell me a story, it's so boring." Zhou Qian said with a smile.

"I'm a very vulgar person, and I don't have any stories in my stomach, so forget it." Hu Li's voice became smaller and quieter, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly in the dark, but Zhou Qian smelled a trace of helplessness and loss in the air.

"Okay, you rest, it'll be dawn in a few hours." Zhou Qian said and leaned against the cave wall behind him to rest.

Maybe life is really like this, there is a lot of helplessness, just like Snow Night and Da Bing were abandoned and couldn't make a choice, so Da Bing was very grateful that he was still alive. And what about us? Our struggles in the world may only prove that we are still alive.
