Volume II Summer Chapter 19 Succulents
I don't know if it's because of the hot weather, or because of the sense of the departure of the original owner, the lemon has not been in good condition recently. The canned food and snacks that I loved to eat before, even if you shake it in front of it, it doesn't want to eat it. I rarely go out to play, I only lie in the store in a daze every day, often lie down for two or three hours, and it sleeps when the gardening shop opens in the morning, and it is still sleeping when it closes at night. Originally, when a child or a beautiful young lady entered the store, it would take the initiative to come forward to say hello, and sometimes take the initiative to rub the other party's leg twice, but now it rarely goes to the door of the store, and always hides in the innermost corner.
Worried that Lemon would get sick, Feng Chunxi decided to take it to the doctor. According to Ma Jing's address, he quickly found the pet hospital where Zhou Zhi interned, and he finally met the female veterinarian who helped take care of lemons before.
Lemon obviously remembered it, let her rub her head, and barked at her obediently. Taking the lemon from Feng Chunxi's arms, Zhou Zhi quickly did a set of full body examinations. The conclusion is that Lemon is not sick, but suffering from feline depression.
"Cat, depression?" Feng Chunxi couldn't believe that cats could also get depression.
"Of course, Lemon's current lethargy and loss of curiosity are the most typical manifestations of depression." Zhou Zhi explained.
"But why does Lemon get depression?"
"There are many reasons why cats get depression, the most common being separation, frequent moving, and abuse. Think about it, has anything like this happened recently? ”
After listening to Zhou Zhi's words, Feng Chunxi was even more convinced that Lemon must have sensed Xiao Luo's death, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. He didn't want to tell such gloomy news to unrelated people, so he said, "It may be that the kitten that has been playing with a lot recently hasn't been here for a long time, so it's lonely, right?" ”
"If you have this possibility, then you should spend more time with it, you can buy some cat toys to play with it, and feed it more cat grass and catnip. Also, I see that your appearance is also quite heavy, cats can feel the emotions of the owner, you look depressed, how can cats be happy? ”
After buying cat teasing sticks and toy balls at a nearby pet store, Feng Chunxi returned to the store with lemons. According to Zhou Zhi's suggestion, Feng Chunxi began to spend more energy on lemon, and whenever he had time, he used a cat teasing stick to play with it and talk to it. Sure enough, Lemon's mental state gradually improved, but he still refused to go out to play. Feng Chunxi thought that since Lemon refused to go out, he would invite his friends to play at home.
Dig up all the sunflowers and caryophyllus that were originally planted in tires in front of the store, and then re-divide them into gallon pots. These two summer popping artifacts will soon be bought. Feng Chunxi planted all the vacated tire flower pots with cat grass and catnip, and put a bowl of water and some cat food next to it, believing that this would definitely attract nearby kittens to come over.
For two days, I still didn't see Lemon walk out of the store, and no nearby kittens were attracted to it. At noon on the third day, Feng Chunxi was napping on a rattan chair, and Lemon was also sleeping at his feet. Suddenly, Lemon's legs bounced up and he took a few steps outside the store, and this violent reaction woke Feng Chunxi up instantly.
Looking out, I saw a middle-aged woman standing in the doorway, lemons rubbing back and forth on her legs, and a low cry came out of her mouth, like a child calling for his mother. The middle-aged woman is Xiao Luo's mother.
Feng Chunxi walked out of the store, but he didn't know what to say. For a mother who has lost her young son, any words of comfort are pale.
"Hello." Xiao Luo's mother spoke first, her tone calm.
"Hello." Feng Chunxi replied.
"I'm here to tell you that Xiao Luo has left this world."
"I heard about it, and I hope you will mourn!" Feng Chunxi lowered his head slightly to show his condolences.
"It's hard to mourn, but I've been able to accept it. For Xiao Luo, we have done our best, and he has done his best. ”
"I hope Xiao Luo will have a happy life in another world."
"Thanks, it's your bank card. Thank you so much for reaching out, even though the money didn't end up being used, it's really appreciated! Xiao Luo's mother took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Feng Chunxi with both hands.
Feng Chunxi glanced at the bank card that he had secretly put in the ward before, so he reached out and took it and put it in his pocket: "You don't have to be polite, Xiao Luo is my friend, I believe that if I am in trouble, he will also try to help me." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Luo's mother and said, "Yes, Xiao Luo often says that you are good friends." ”
"Did Xiao Luo's funeral take place? I'd like to say goodbye to him if I can. ”
"It's already been held, so I'm sorry I didn't let you know in advance. Because Xiao Luo's body has been donated, the farewell ceremony can only be held in a hurry in the hospital. ”
"Donate your body? Why? Xiao Luo's mother's words surprised Feng Chunxi, now more and more people are joining in the public welfare of donating bodies, but he didn't expect that the mother in front of him would be willing to do so.
"Because we want Xiao Luo to be reborn in other people's bodies, just like succulents!"
"Succulents?"
"Yes, succulents! It's the pot you gave him, I don't remember the name. ”
Feng Chunxi knew that she was talking about the miracle of spring, and she also understood what Xiao Luo's mother meant.
"You mean, I hope Xiao Luo can be like a succulent, as long as a part of his body is inserted into the soil, he can grow new life, right?"
Now, Xiao Luo's heart is beating in another child's body, and his cornea has also helped two blind patients regain their sight. I tried not to see the three men, but I could hear his heartbeat, and I could feel his eyes watching me not far away. Speaking of this, Xiao Luo's mother choked up a little.
Feng Chunxi didn't know what to say to comfort, turned around and went back to the store to take out a pack of tissues and handed it to Xiao Luo's mother.
After calming down, Xiao Luo's mother continued: "There is one more thing I want to trouble you. ”
"You say!"
Xiao Luo hopes to propagate the pot of succulents into many trees, and then give one to each of his classmates and teachers, which means that he is still with everyone. But I really don't have any experience in raising plants, so I'm worried that if I can't raise them, I won't be able to raise them......."
"I'm coming! You send it to the store, and I'll raise it! Without waiting for Xiao Luo's mother to finish speaking, Feng Chunxi agreed.
"What's more, Xiao Luo originally wanted to wait for him to get better, and let me take him to see the sunflower sea you talked about. Where is this sea of flowers, I want to take him to see it and scatter his ashes there. ”
Where is the sea of sunflowers? Feng Chunxi only knew that the melon seeds in Inner Mongolia were big and delicious, but those were tall and big sunflower seeds, not dwarf sunflowers as he said.
"Right here!" After a minute of silence, Feng Chunxi replied.
"Here?" Xiao Luo's mother was a little puzzled.
"Yes, here, this city. I'll grow a sea of sunflowers. ”
"Really?"
"Trust me, I'll let you know when the flowers bloom."
After listening to Feng Chunxi's words, Xiao Luo's mother was a little moved, and her eyes were a little more bright.
Seeing off Xiao Luo's mother, Feng Chunxi leaned on the rattan chair with a lemon, and secretly made up his mind to plant a sea of sunflowers in his heart.
