Chapter 19: Snowball
Sylvia shook her head: "As for it?" It seems that the next time Master Qian and they come, they will have to put everything away. My glutinous rice flour was so well hidden, and he turned it out in the end. ”
Huo Yuhuai: "This Master Qian is also a wonderful person, and he uses all kinds of tricks for stuttering." ”
Sylvia: "If you don't go back for the Chinese New Year, you just stay here, it really doesn't matter?" ”
Huo Yuhuai: "I think maybe if they don't see me, they will be in a better mood, after all, their situation is really not good at this time." ”
Seeing Hilvert raise his eyebrows, Huo Yuhuai simply said more directly: "Some things can go through legal procedures, but the price may not make them break their bones." ”
But if you take away what they value the most, you may instead cut the flesh on their hearts, which will be more refreshing. My second uncle Huo Zhiguo, it is estimated that my heart will be eaten raw at this time. ”
Sylvia: "So the way you looked at the beginning was Huo Zhiguo's hand?" ”
Huo Yuhuai: "He just had a calculus or not, I just didn't expect him to be so ruthless." If I hadn't met you by luck, perhaps his plan would have succeeded by this time. ”
"And recently I've discovered that it doesn't seem like my parents' deaths were all accidental."
Sylvia: "Then you have to take care of yourself, if you don't take care of yourself, who will think about your parents?" ”
Huo Yuhuai shook his head: "It's been too long, I'm twenty-eight years old this year, and I have the impression that my parents passed away when I was ten years old." Even if there is evidence, after so many years, it is almost annihilated, and it is difficult to trace it from the beginning. ”
Sylvia sat up straight: "Huo Zhiguo, is that the name?" Do you have a photo? Show me? ”
Although Huo Yuhuai was surprised, he didn't ask much, just flipped through the mobile phone and pulled out a family photo.
"This is a family photo I took when I was 20 years old, but unfortunately my grandfather passed away not long after the family portrait was taken. That's the country of Huo. ”
Huo Zhiguo in the photo is only in his early thirties, and he is dressed very elegantly, but his face is a little gloomy, and he has some slight white eyes, anyway, the first impression is that he is not a good person.
Seeing Sylvia staring at Huo Zhiguo, Huo Yuhuai: "Do you see something?" ”
Sylvia pushed her phone over: "It's been so long, where can I see anything?" If possible, it's best for me to meet and have some fun in this lonely life. ”
Huo Yuhuai didn't ask much: "I don't want you to be involved in this matter, they all say that the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, Huo Zhiguo is a complete madman, if he is in a hurry, I don't know what he will do." ”
Sylvia said very objectively: "If someone like him hadn't been killed all at once, he would have done a steady stream of things later." From the moment you appeared at my house, I had already become an enemy of Huo Zhiguo, it was inevitable. ”
Huo Yuhuai was silent for a long time: "I'm sorry." ”
Sylvia hooked her lips: "Everyone has the instinct to survive, I understand this, since I reached out at the beginning, I know what the consequences will be, and I have to bear it myself." ”
"You don't need to feel sorry for me, if you really don't want to go, cook me a few more meals, bring more gold and them out for a walk, and that's fine."
Huo Yuhuai smiled: "Okay, during Sister-in-law Huang's absence, I will be responsible for your three meals a day and walking the dog." ”
Sylvia: "So it's decided, it's best not to drag Huo Zhiguo's side, he won't have any remorse at all for a person like this, on the contrary, the longer it drags on, the more he will fight back." ”
Huo Yuhuai: "I understand, I'll take some time after the New Year." I remember that Huo Yuzhou got engaged on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and I definitely want to show up on this occasion. ”
"Huo Yuzhou? The son of Huo Zhiguo? Calculate the time, Huo Zhiguo is only in his forties at most, right? His son is getting engaged? ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Huo Yuzhou is twenty years old, although he can't get a marriage certificate for the time being, but he can get engaged to win over other relationships." ”
Sylvia understood: "This Huo Zhiguo doesn't give up, and still wants to fight with you in the ring?" ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Well, where is he the one who gives up so easily?" Although he is in a bad situation at this time, if he has strong in-law support, he still has hope of turning the tables. ”
Sylvia wrinkled her eyebrows: "So Huo Yuzhou's betrothed partner ...... Very powerful? ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Of course, the Wan family has always been eyeing the Huo family, and they have been old competitors all these years. ”
Sylvia chuckled: "I'm really curious, it is said that your parents passed away back then, you are still a child, it stands to reason that Huo Zhiguo is on the throne, why is it you in the end?" ”
Huo Yuhuai: "I guess my grandfather should have noticed that his parents' accident had another hidden secret, but there was no one in the palm of his hand, and he probably didn't want the other one to fold in." ”
"It's just that some things can't be just left alone, if my parents' deaths are really related to Huo Zhiguo, I have to avenge them, they were only in their early thirties when they died, and they were too young."
Speaking of this, Huo Yuhuai's voice dropped a little. In his impression, his parents were very loving and doted on him, but unfortunately everything came to an abrupt end when he was ten years old.
The originally harmonious family fell apart overnight, and this pain was too grinding. Everything is on your own, and there is no one to help you out.
Sylvia groaned: "Since the people who are worried are gone, it is even more important to let those who have done bad things get the retribution they deserve, if you don't do some things, it will be sealed there forever, and it will not be fair to those innocent victims." ”
Huo Yuhuai barely showed a smile: "Of course, no matter what the facts are, I will always track it down." ”
Sylvia took a sip of tea: "That's why I said you were a little pitiful, and I was really right." ”
Huo Yuhuai finally smiled: "It's strange, you are obviously six years younger than me, how can you talk like this...... Arrogant on account of one's seniority? ”
Sylvia smiled: "Some people, she looks at her face tenderly, but her mental age is mature enough to be your ancestor." ”
She is more than a thousand years old, does the Huo family last for a thousand years? Not necessarily, I'm afraid So sometimes Sylvia looks at Huo Yuhuai as if she is looking at a child.
Huo Yuhuai: "Yes, ancestor, if you see Huo Zhiguo, what are you going to do?" ”
Sylvia: "We'll see ...... then"
Before the words fell, Sylvia's ears couldn't help but move, she seemed to hear a voice in the courtyard? Gold and briquettes, who were lying on the carpet, sat up and stared out of the living room with their eyes blazing.
Sylvia stood up, "Did you hear that too?" ”
The two big dogs flicked their tails and rushed out of the living room first. Huo Yuhuai casually threw the half-peeled peanuts onto the coffee table, and slowly followed Sylvia to the garden.
Out of the living room, Sylvia heard it more clearly, and a weak cry came: "Meow ......"
"Meow?" Sylvia raised her eyebrows, the briquettes had already jumped out, and the other party seemed to struggle, but unfortunately the briquettes were held down, and they could only let out a miserable cry in vain.
It's just that the scream is weak, and it's obvious that the other party is not in a good state.
"Are there any stray cats in the community?" Squatting down opposite the briquette, Sylvia stared at the big hairball in front of her, her eyes a little unpredictable.
This big hair ball looks only thirty centimeters long, and it is gray all over its body, and its hair has already been locked, but those eyes look fierce, and it seems that they are going to stretch out their claws in the next second.
She didn't think the cat was dirty, so she dragged it out from under the briquette's feet. In Sylvia's hands, the originally fierce big meow became extremely tame, and her shriveled body hung softly on the palm of Sylvia's hand.
"It's so thin, it's all to the bone." Stroked the back of the big meow, and Sylvia picked it up: "If it's an ownerless cat, I'll keep you, and it's just more lively." ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Really raise it?" This cat's sex looks a little strong. ”
Sylvia: "It's good to be fierce, I don't like that they are very close to everyone, so that no one else has to bother to abduct them." I remember the gold they still have bone broth? Get some to eat first, and look at the hungry one, blame the poor one. ”
She has already touched the big meow from head to toe at this time, fortunately there are no other scars, but she is a little thinner and weaker, and everything else is fine.
After entering the house, the trembling big meow also calmed down, but it was weak and pitiful at the one it called at Sylvia.
Finding a new bowl from the cupboard, Huo Yuhuai picked a few bones and pushed them in front of the big meow. Sylvia touched its head: "Eat this today, give you a bath after eating, and then blow your hair, I see that you are quite delicate." ”
Although it looks dirty, the eyes are very bright and round, the nose is also pink, and the hair on the body is all gray.
If this is well maintained, it must be a big meow.
After licking Sylvia's hand, Big Meow sat down in front of the cat's bowl, and the one that ate it was called a gobble. Seeing that Huo Yuhuai only gave a small half bowl, Sylvia was a little surprised.
Huo Yuhuai: "It looks like it's hungry, and it can't stand it if it eats too much." It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the pet hospital is basically not open, even if there is something wrong with it, there is no treatment. ”
Sylvia thought about it: "That's what I said, add it slowly in the future, eat it slowly, briquettes and gold won't be robbed of you." ”
The briquette probe came over and looked at the small bowl, just a few bones, not enough for it to stuff between its teeth, so it wouldn't have such shallow eyelids, okay?
Xu understood Sylvia's words, and after eating the food in the small bowl, Big Meow licked her mouth, and then sat down in front of Sylvia. Turquoise round eyes stared straight at Sylvia.
Sylvia stroked its head: "You sit down first, I'll take it to take a shower, it looks dirty." ”
Seeing Sylvia carrying the cat into the bathroom, Huo Yuhuai touched his nose and continued his work - peeling peanuts. He's going to make dumplings tomorrow morning, so shouldn't he have to get them ready now?
In the bathroom, this big meow is not good, let you close your eyes when you close your eyes, let you raise your claws when you raise your claws, and even cooperate with Sylvia to change various postures, Sylvia is the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.
It's just that after taking a bath, Meow inevitably looks thinner, and her hair is a little dull. Touched Big Meow's paws: "It's okay, you will slowly gain weight in the future, just like briquettes." ”
Thinking of the black briquette outside, the big meow screamed, but it didn't forget that it was trampled under the bottom of its feet.
Sylvia chuckled: "The briquette didn't know you at first, and it never mouthed, you have a lot of meows, don't worry about it?" ”
Big meow screamed, look at the mood of the meow.
Sylvia smiled: "Okay, come and raise your claws, I'll wipe the water for you?" I'll send you to the oven to blow in a moment. ”
The oven really helped her a lot, the gold and briquettes are both large dogs, and every time they are bathed, it is a big project, if you blow them with a hair dryer again, you basically can't do anything in an afternoon.
Later, Sylvia deliberately bought such the largest oven, and after bathing the two of them every time, the two of them automatically and consciously went to the oven to dry their wool, not to mention worry-free.
After sending the big meow into the oven and setting the program, Sylvia squatted in front of the oven, "It looks smaller, it's too thin." ”
Huo Yuhuai: "It will be fine in the future, isn't gold and briquettes very good now?" How healthy? ”
Sylvia thought about it: "I didn't expect it to be a white meow, it would look better if I was fatter." There's already a briquette at home, so let's call it a snowball. ”
Snowball barked inside the oven and seemed to like the name too. After changing several positions with the hot wind, Snowball's mantle was soon dry.
After opening the oven, the snowball jumped onto Sylvia's shoulder. The long tail swept over Sylvia's shoulders, clearly in a superb mood.
Sylvia: "It's a lot of work to have a cat, do you still need to prepare cat litter and cat litter boxes?" I also have to take you to deworm and get vaccinated, which can only be done after the New Year. ”
When she was just taking a bath, Sylvia took a good check, and in order to make her feel more at ease, she also deliberately turned out the insect repellent that had been sealed for a long time, although it was only a small drop, but the effect was immediate.
The snowball is cleaner than anything else.
After taking a seat on the couch, Snowball jumped off Sylvia's shoulders and sat down on Sylvia's lap at a trot. Sylvia beckoned at the gold and the briquettes, the two of them facing her in a proper manner.
Touching Snowball's head, and then touching the gold and briquettes, Sylvia smiled: "Snowball will be a member of the family in the future, everyone should get along well, especially the briquette, don't bully Snowball when it first comes." ”
The briquette tilted its head and screamed, Wang Cai won't, Wang was just in the nursing home to expel the foreign invaders!
