Chapter 5: Whining and biting his neck
Archie was immersed in his excitement, and when he heard his sister shouting at him, he subconsciously turned back.
As a result, as soon as I turned around, I saw a small close-up magic trick that was accurately reproduced.
"You, how did you do it!" Archie asked, small sparks of excitement crackling in his eyes.
Ah Qiao shrugged her shoulders, she wanted to say to her brother, "It couldn't be easier", but she was afraid of hurting her brother's feelings. After all, you just need to understand that "magic is all deception" and everything will be much easier.
Magic is nothing but a trick.
So what you think is that your left hand is holding the ring finger of your right hand is just what you think, in fact, is that your left hand is holding your own ring finger of your left hand.
Ah Qiao didn't say anything, but made a decomposition action in front of his brother.
"It turns out that the secret is to break your ring finger in your left hand to the tiger's mouth!" Archie was excited.
After doing it a few times, it happened that the flowers next door came over the wall to play. Archie made it for Duoduo on the spot. Duoduo is a chubby little stupid girl with a very simple mind, and she has some admiration for Archie.
She only looked at Archie who was dancing with her eyebrows, and didn't even look at the magic in Archie's hand.
When the magic is over, Duoduo cries out in surprise, much to Archie's satisfaction.
"Duoduo, do you know who I learned it from?"
"Where's your dad?"
Archie's face, which was still frowning just now, froze suddenly. Dad and Mom, who work in a prosperous city in the south, haven't been back for a long time, and they started to send money, but in the past few months, they haven't even sent money.
"I'm sorry." Duoduo apologized. Even if you are as cute as a flower, you know that it is an offense to pretend to your parents in front of the KitKat siblings.
"You don't have to apologize." Archie turned his head to look at the wind-blown vegetable garden, his face with the pride of a young boy, "Let me tell you, I learned it from a stranger. This morning, I went alone to meet a stranger, who was a magician. ”
Duoduo's face instantly opened an expression shop. There is pride, there is worry, there is surprise, there is fear.
"How can you go and meet that stranger alone?"
"I'm not afraid of him."
"But what if he kidnaps you?"
"I have fruit to protect me. Magicians are afraid of fruit! ”
Duoduo couldn't say anything more against it, and she moved her gaze to Ah Qiao. She knew that Ah Qiao could easily convince Archie as long as she wanted to. However, Ah Qiao does not seem to object to Archie meeting strangers.
"Qiaoqiao, why didn't you stop him?"
"Because his feet grow in him, so does his curiosity." Ah Qiao replied.
Duoduo had to think about it for a while before she could fully understand Ah Qiao's words.
She looked at Archie and wanted to say to Archie, for my sake, please restrain your curiosity. However, it also seems to be an offense to say this.
Offended Archie's feelings of freedom.
After all, she and he are just neighbors.
10-year-old Duoduo is full of sadness.
"Shall we go together? I mean, when you want to meet strangers again. "Duoduo swooped.
"Okay. I want to see him now! ”
Twenty minutes later, three friends and a miscellaneous soil dog reappeared on the pebble beach by Xingyue Lake.
The stranger sat in a comfortable-looking portable chair with his legs stretched out, his bare feet on the cobblestones, a book in both hands, and reading in the sun. All around was the sound of birds.
Archie just wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Ah Qiao.
Ah Qiao's eyes widened and he looked at the stranger in front of him in surprise.
She never thought that the scene of sitting by the lake and reading a book would be so moving.
The lake is shining with silver, the mountains are quiet, the birds are singing, and the magician is in the middle of it, reading a book with serious engagement. It's like a picture!
As a result, Ah Qiao's affection for the magician has greatly increased.
Tugou Guoguo didn't understand why everyone stood quietly, raised his head to look at the little master, and whimpered.
The magician, as if frightened, suddenly fell from his chair to the ground, looked around in panic and his face was full of horror, until he saw three children and a dog, and then he calmed down.
He got up in embarrassment, patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, and laughed: "Hello, big dog, I don't hate you, but don't come here!" ”
"Why are you afraid of dogs?" Ah Qiao asked.
The magician looked into the distance, as if reminiscing about the past.
"I'm really afraid of dogs." He replied frankly.
"Why?" Ah Qiao asked. She's like this, and she always likes to break the casserole and ask the end.
"Because, I have personally experienced an extremely cruel and horrific thing."
"Dog-related?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell us about it?" Ah Qiao likes to read books and listen to stories. Even she couldn't tell whether she preferred to read books or listen to stories.
The magician's face shuddered, but when he met Shang Qiao's clear gaze, he quickly changed his mind and decided to challenge himself.
The magician began to talk about the "extremely cruel and terrifying" things he had personally experienced, and Archie, Ah Qiao, Duoduo and Guoguo, the three of them and a dog sat opposite the magician.
The magician said that he lived in a city known for its civilization. In that city, everyone loved dogs, even stray cats, and they were well cared for.
People buy their dogs fashionable clothes, trendy shoes, gold and silver jewelry necklaces, and send them to animal hair salons where they not only trim their hair, but even dye them.
Archie was speechless in surprise when he heard this. He put his hand on Guoguo's back and put Guoguo on his lap. Even if he could imagine Guoguo wearing clothes, it would be difficult to imagine Guoguo wearing shoes.
Duoduo grabbed her hair with her hands, and her eyes widened. She would never confess to anyone, and at that moment, she envied the dogs in the city.
Ah Qiao tilted her head and listened carefully, and she wrote down the magician's expression when he told the story.
One day—said the magician—he was walking along the road and saw a large, half-man-tall dog with snow-white fur, whose petite mistress was holding it behind her back. It is so white, it attracts the attention of the people around it as soon as it appears.
A mother with her daughter, pushing her son, passed by the dog.
The little girl's eyes were firmly attracted by the dog: "Mother, mother, look at this dog, how beautiful it is, it doesn't even have a hair of other colors, it is as white as snow, as white as the clouds in the clearest sky in summer." ”
It must have been the little girl's excellent language skills that moved her mother, and she stopped and waited for her daughter to admire the big white dog.
There was a dog on the opposite side - because this is a dog-loving city, there are all kinds of dogs, huskies, poodles, sheepdogs, chihuahuas, Akita dogs, Dobermans, Pomeranians, pit bulls, Samoyeds, dachshunds, Rottweilers, Kaslo...... There are so many types of dogs.
The magician is not a dog scientist, so he doesn't know what breed that beautiful big white dog is.
No one could have imagined that the new dog was so small, but so fierce, and it barked at the big dog.
The big dog didn't bark back, but went straight to the mouth!
It whined and bit the puppy's neck!
