Chapter 6: The Rabbit (1)
"Speaking of which, Morin, after all these years of following me, you seem to have rarely seen my collection. Following behind the man, the old dean looked at the rows of sealed vials on the shelves in the dimly lit storage room of the hospital.www.biquge.info Immediately, hearing the man's question, the old dean lowered his head in panic and remained silent.
"All of these are manifestations of beauty, lovely, cruel, bloodthirsty, and good at camouflage...... It's my favorite collectible. Fingertips swiped over the vials on the shelves, and finally, stayed on a gray vial, the narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of charm and pride, the man took the vial soaked in green medicine, and looked at it quietly in front of his eyes.
Under the man's gaze, the black dead thing in the vial, which seemed to be a specimen, trembled at this moment......
...
...
......
School.
As the school bell rang, like other students, they packed up their textbooks, and then, Ye Ling carried the schoolbag hanging next to the study desk, just about to leave on his back.
"Now, Ye Ling, a new pet store has recently opened at the entrance of the campus, let's go to the pet store to have a look. The good classmates gathered around Ye Ling and happily proposed.
"But I've run out of pocket money. "It's not good to go to someone's store and just look at it and not buy it. Ye Ling hesitated.
"It's okay. The male classmate at the head patted his chest. "It doesn't matter what this kind of thing is, don't you really want to see it?"
...... "Okay, I don't want to ruin my friend's interest, Ye Ling nodded.
"Then hurry up, if you don't hurry, you won't be able to grab the position. "In the newly opened pet shop, there must be a lot of onlookers, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for Ye Ling and his classmates to squeeze in.
"Wait...... Wait a minute, today is your duty!" Dare to run away and be careful that the master will punish you for a week next week!
"Ahh "Why don't you go there and wait for me first?"
Ye Ling: "...... Kindness. "That's all there is to it.
Ye Ling, who left the school gate, quickly found the location of the pet store.
No, how can I say it, it's too obvious? After all, there are a bunch of people around the door of the store...... There are very few pet shops in this suburban town, which is indeed a rare existence for the residents of the town.
Looking at this crowded flow of people, Ye Ling didn't want to squeeze in. However, the partner will come over later, and if he releases the pigeon, it will be his own fault.
Well, fear of trouble and curiosity are not excluded, Ye Ling also wanted to go in and take a look, so Ye Ling broke into this crowd.
Entering the store, Ye Ling saw those animals as he wished.
First of all, the most common pet dogs and pet cats, the goofy husky, the noble and arrogant Chihuahua, the bulldog, the obese foodie Garfield, the rare folded ear cat, the cute Ragdoll cat...... Don't ask Ye Ling why he can easily recognize the scientific names of these pets, there is a note under the cage.
Like other children, standing in front of the cage, Ye Ling couldn't help but pay attention to each pet for a few minutes, looking fascinated...... It's a pity that there is no money.
When Ye Ling came back to his senses, he found that a long time had passed.
Finally, he glanced at the pets in the cage with nostalgia, and Ye Ling sighed.
Speaking of which, so much time has passed, why hasn't he come here yet, Ye Ling, who was standing at the door of the store, glanced in the direction of the school, and at this time, the school also became deserted.
"Little brother, do you like these very much?" At this time, the owner of the pet store appeared beside Ye Ling and said kindly.
The shopkeeper accosted him, which made Ye Ling really stunned. Subconsciously replied: "Yes." ”
"Why don't you buy one?" the shopkeeper asked with his hands behind his back, cordially.
"My neighborhood doesn't allow us to have pets. Fingers spared his cheeks, and Ye Ling responded embarrassedly.
"As long as you don't let the people in the community find out. "Don't bring bad children's values.
"Actually, how can I take care of animals...... especially the most troublesome thing is the disposal of manure.
"It doesn't matter, buy now, we will provide customers with the "Pet Keeping Manual", as well as related equipment. "Professional one-stop service!
“...... Actually, I don't have enough money. "Okay, Ye Ling told the truth.
"It's okay to pay in installments~~" This suggestion is really ...... Boss, are you trying to sell your pet?!
"......" Ye Ling discovered for the first time that the person who engaged in sales turned out to be such an annoying existence!
couldn't help it, Ye Ling decided to use a killer move: "I'm sorry, actually I don't want to-"
"If the little brother is still hesitant, don't do it. Uncle The shopkeeper interrupted Ye Ling's words with a smile, and raised his finger to suggest: "Little brother can try to take one home and raise it for two days, if it still doesn't work, then send it back, what do you think?"
"Eh?!" Ye Ling was stunned, and this proposal?, "Aren't you afraid that after I raise it, I won't send it back?" As a junior high school ghost, Ye Ling had a surreal question.
"It's okay. "Only this point, the store uncle is quite unconcerned. "I just took a picture of you, and if you don't send it back, I'll go to the school's teaching office and ask you to send it back. ”
"But during this period, if the small animal was accidentally killed by me?" Ye Ling was still not at ease.
That only means that I believe the wrong person. The store manager shook his head regretfully: "The little brother won't be the kind of person who likes to kill animals." ”
"May I ask what is the benefit of doing this?" Ye Ling looked at the store manager strangely.
"Trying out new sales mechanisms, cultivating the love of children in this era, and ...... Save a few days on food?"
Ye Ling: "......"
In the end, Ye Ling, who held the opinion that it was a fool not to take advantage of it, still accepted the store manager's suggestion and chose a little gray rabbit...... In fact, Ye Ling is from the Wang faction, but it is impossible to buy a dog for a few days, think about it, Ye Ling still chose rabbits, rabbits eat grass, and grass, there are many grasses in the community.
What Ye Ling didn't know was that after Ye Ling left, his little friend had just come.
"That, can I adopt one too?" Because I saw Ye Ling chatting with the store manager, the little friend didn't dare to come out to disturb, but hid aside and eavesdropped, and now that Ye Ling is gone, the little friend is embarrassed to come to the store manager, and pointed to his expectation and asked.
However, what I got was the store manager's indifferent gaze: "Get out!"
"......" said the image of the kind manager who was good.
The little friend was scared away.
"I'm really looking forward to it, the next unfolding. Walking back to the pet store, the manager tore off his face, and what was re-revealed was the face of a man in the hospital. Picking up the mirror and looking at it, the man smiled weirdly.
......
The doorbell rings –
Alice went out for a stroll, Miss Maid was grocery shopping, and Rodriguez was nowhere to be found during the day, as always.
Ye Xin, who was coming to the living room to drink water, couldn't help but wonder when she heard the doorbell. When I stepped forward to open the door, I found that my brother had returned.
"What, you forgot the key?" Ye Xin noticed the thing his brother was holding, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Holding the cage in his hand, of course it was inconvenient to open the door with the key, Ye Ling didn't say it, seeing that the old lady's eyes understood what she was thinking, Ye Ling handed the cage over.
"The gray rabbit looks so cute. Taking the cage and putting the small cage on the coffee table, Ye Xin squatted down and carefully looked at the rabbit in the cage who was quietly grazing.
"Sister thinks so too?" changed shoes, threw away the school bag, went to the kitchen to take a small bowl, poured water, and then came to the cage, opened the cage, and put the small bowl with water in the corner of the cage. Ye Ling, like Ye Xin, looked at the rabbit quietly.
"Of course, my aesthetics are still normal. Ye Xin stretched out his finger and teased through the cage.
"Then leave it to my sister to raise. My brother's smile.
"Hehe, don't. The old lady's outstretched hand quickly retracted it. "Since you definitely have rabbits, then I'll leave it to you. "The character of being afraid of trouble is undoubtedly revealed.
"I thought it would be nice if having rabbits could inspire you to take care of yourself. Ye Ling hated that iron could not become steel.
"Hmph, don't be kidding?!The trouble of taking care of the rabbit or something is dead!"
A small plot of sister and brother fighting.
......
A few minutes later, Alice returned.
The cap was thrown aside, the shoes were thrown aside, a Coke was taken from the refrigerator, a magazine was held, melon seeds were knocked, and Alice was about to go to the living room to lie on the sofa when she passed by the dining table.
At the moment of "......", Alice's eyes naturally noticed the rabbit in the cage on the dining table.
Ever since Alice entered, the rabbit's ruby eyes seemed to be staring at the moving Alice.
The gray eyes and the rabbit's eyes stare at each other.
Smack——!
This is the sound of Alice swallowing melon seeds.
Thinking of something, Alice looked at the remaining melon seed shells in her hand.
"Come, open your mouth!" said with a smile on her face, and the girl handed the hard melon seed shell to the inside of the cage, to the rabbit's mouth.
Of course, rabbits will definitely not eat it~~
However, the rabbit's eyes were still fixed on Alice's hand that had reached into the cage...... Saliva appeared at the corners of his mouth. Due to the angle, Alice couldn't see the mutated fangs in the rabbit's mouth.
Just as the rabbit's head cautiously, slowly, toward Alice's fingertips—
The door opened again—
The maid lady with the bag of vegetables is back.
The sound of the door opening made the rabbit's head retract in fright.
Feeding failed, Alice regretfully withdrew her hand and threw the melon seed shell back into the trash. "Kagome, you're scared of it. ”
"......?" didn't understand what was going on, and the maid lady came over.
"I've been curious before, what does rabbit meat taste like...... "Staring at the rabbit in the cage enough, retracting his gaze, and continuing to knock on the second melon seed, the black-haired girl's smile.
“...... Understand. "That is to say, the meaning of eating rabbits," the maid lady turned her head and looked at the rabbits in the cage as well...... Seriously frowning, due to a temporary decision, the menu of dinner was changed, and the maid lady seemed to be considering whether there was a dish to accompany the rabbit.
With a question, Ye Xin and Ye Ling were also playing TV games on the side. Due to the language barrier, the sister and brother did not understand the conversation between Alice and Miss Maid.
Time passed a little more—
Dusk falls~~
Rodriguez is back.
As usual, with Sven's half-rimmed glasses and a large pile of reading materials in his hand, Rodriguez returned with the same attention drawn to the rabbit cage on the table.
"It's—" Putting down the reading material in his hand, Rodriguez bent down slightly and leaned in to take a closer look.
"Mr. Deacon, you are knowledgeable, there must be a way, can you teach me how to take care of rabbits?" Ye Ling, who was grabbing some grass from the community and washing the stains on the grass with the faucet in the kitchen, saw Rodriguez coming back, trotted over, and asked with some excitement and modesty.
In the past few days, the homework and the things I don't understand have been solved (it is conceivable that my sister's is useless!), and the existence of Rodriguez like a tutor makes Ye Ling look forward to it.
"Absolutely. Having observed enough, retracting his gaze, Rodriguez showed a gentle smile towards Ye Ling.
But until then—
"I suddenly remembered something, and I lost my company first. "Obviously he had just come home, and Rodriguez went out again...... But before going out, Rodriguez discussed something with the maid lady.
Well, it was in the language of another world, and Ye Ling couldn't understand it.
In the living room –
Ye Xin and Alice play a video game - "The King of Fighters"
"Poofha, look at the hand speed of the old lady who has been single for twenty-one years!!" The boxer figure controlled by Ye Xin used the three-stage Shenglong Fist, knocking out half of the blood of the character controlled by Alice who used the big sword.
It's despicable and shameless. Bullying Alice hasn't played it, is it really okay to treat novice players like this?
In the first game, Alice lost without any chance of winning.
"Hmph, this is the real strength of the old lady!" At the end of the game, Ye Xin's whole person was refreshed...... In the past few days, I have experienced the pain of insomnia in the middle of the night from this girl, and the revenge of being slapped three times in the shopping mall that day was completely released at this moment!
As an adult, Ye Xin said that in order to win, it is nothing to bully a little girl who has never played a game...... also made her realize the cruelty of society early!
"Alas, there's really no way, who called my sister I'm a good person, for the sake of you not being able to play, let you shoot first~~" Ye Xin's younger brother who shook his head and sighed said that he wanted to hit her face...... Shameless.
Alice ignored it, though!
The first game failed, understood something, put down the gamepad, Alice flipped through the manual of the game...... There is a list of characters' moves on it.
"It's useless, it took me five days to play this game. Regarding Alice's behavior of grinding the gun in battle, Ye Xin didn't care.
After a few dozen seconds, Alice put down the manual and picked up the gamepad again...... It looks ready.
"Poof, you don't really have it. "Dozens of seconds?" Ye Xin quipped.
The second game begins -
A few minutes later –
"Virtual killings are pointless, it's a boring game. As the 'KO' prompt popped up on the game screen, and the gamepad was put down, the black-haired girl smiled and gave such a comment.
Can't see the results of the game?
So, a pony-tailed girl holding her head with her hands and a look of loss like 'I actually lost' can be understood...... The winner is king, and the loser is out.
Once again, the sovereignty of the television set is in Alice's hands.
"Sister, if your skills are not as good as others, admit it. Ye Ling patted the old lady's shoulder, indicating that there was no dark coolness.
"Damn, this can't be! I'm no match for a beginner. Ye Xin doubted life.
When it was time for dinner, the maid lady came over to remind everyone.
Well, by the way, there is no rabbit meat for dinner today~~
......
Inside the cage –
The gray rabbit munched on the grass silently. (To be continued.) )
