Chapter 4: Night Talk by the River

Previous Chapter

readx; After dinner, Ling Yun cleaned up the table, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and chatted with his grandfather for a while, as for the content of the chat, it was nothing more than whose hen was stolen, whose baby had a fortune and so on...... Speaking of the back, suddenly Feng Loop mentioned Mrs. Zhang's house in the village, and mentioned that Mrs. Zhang in the village Grandpa Lingyun's eyes were full of envy.

It is said that the old man Zhang used to be called his grandfather, it was his son Zhang Da Turtle who was in the city and fell in love with a rich boy and asked him to be a groom, since then there are many people in the village who flattered him and called him Tai Ye, and now that Zhang Tai Ye is full of red faces, everywhere he goes, he is shy and someone is driving in the wind, it is really a big scene! It is said that the last time Zhang Da Turtle returned to the village to take the old lady to the city to enjoy happiness, the old man did not say that he was not used to the city, but stayed in the village but lived comfortably.

Speaking of this, the grandfather looked at Ling Yun and said, "Yun Wa'er, tomorrow I and a few families in the village will go to the city to sell something, and I am thinking about selling the big green cow so that I can send you to the academy, and I will be a big official in the future, so that I can glorify my ancestors!" Speaking of this, grandpa's eyes were full of yearning.

"Have you sold the big green cow...... Ling Yun muttered with a little dim eyes on the side, subconsciously he felt a little uncomfortable, as if he felt that he couldn't be with his grandfather every day, or was he about to lose the big green cow that had been with him for a long time?

"Well, are you going with me?"

"I don't know, I want to go but I don't want to go. ”

Grandpa was silent for a short time and said, "Okay, let's go to sleep first." ”

"Hmmm......"

Ling Yun returned to the one-acre three-point land that belonged to him and gently closed the door, and just lit a kerosene lamp on the small table with a fire fold, the big black cat said lazily: "When are we going to fish?"

Ling Yun looked back and saw that the big cat was lying lazily on the bed, with its little head on its front paws and its eyes closed. Ling Yun didn't answer its question, but also lay on the bed, looked at the big cat with his head in his hand, and said, "Big black cat, where do you have a name?"

After being silent for a while, the big cat opened its eyes and looked at Ling Yun with its blue gaze and said, "I don't know, I have been in that forest since I realized it, does it matter where I got my name? The big cat said truthfully.

"Don't you have a name? I'll get you one, I'll see ...... It's called ...... It's called Tuotuo, right?" Ling Yun thought for a while.

The big cat shuddered and said, "It's really not beautiful, it's extremely ugly!"

"Hmph, what a nice name it is!" Ling Yun retorted.

The big black cat was full of black lines, and he didn't refute him, but said to himself: "I don't know if the old monster is asleep now?"

“...... Wait a minute, I'll see if grandpa is asleep. ”

The moonlight shines quietly on the earth, the village outlines black and white lines with light and dark, and occasionally a breeze blows to take away the heat of the day, bringing the unique coolness of the night, and the insects and frogs are chirping everywhere in the fields, and even the owls in the trees close their eyes and take a nap.

Ling Yun tiptoed out of the window, and the big black cat jumped out nimbly, and when he saw that there was no one around, Ling Yun and the big cat walked towards the small river outside the village.

There is a small river that flows down from the mountains outside the village, and the river is a source of water for the villagers, and many children bathe in it bare-chested in the hot summer. Seeing that it was not far from the river, the big cat was of course ecstatic, and it got bigger early, and jumped and meowed.

When I arrived at the river, I saw the big cat lying quietly on the river, gently stretching its long beard into the river, and waiting motionless with its eyes. Ling Yun naturally didn't want to disturb it, lying on the grass on the side, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze and not knowing what he was thinking. Somehow, Ling Yun was in surprisingly good spirits tonight, and he didn't feel sleepy at all until now.

After a while, the big cat began to meow impatiently, and after a while it stopped fishing without its whiskers. "Plop" The big cat jumped into the river, and because of its fat body, it splashed a large splash to the shore, but fortunately Lingyun was far away and survived. I saw the big cat bury its head in the water, looking for it, and it didn't take long for it to jump on the shore contentedly, lick its paws with its tongue, and lay lazily on the grass by the river.

"Tuotuo, do you know? Actually, I was in the black forest at the time, and the first time I saw you, I had an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Ling Yun lay behind and said untightly.

"Me too, do you think you'd still be lying here now?" said the big cat quietly as he looked at the river with big blue eyes.

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment and did not speak......

The night breeze blew gently, the water of the small river murmured, and a bright moon quietly hid in the clouds at some point. Ling Yun stood up and looked ahead and stretched his waist, walked to the big cat, stroked its forehead, stared at its deep eyes, and said, "I have done what I promised you, are you willing to be friends with me?"

"What's a friend?"

"Friend is that I will give you food when I have fish, and give it to me when you have fish, how about you?" Ling Yun said expectantly.

The big cat slowly closed its eyes and did not answer him, but lay there quietly. Seeing that it didn't answer, Ling Yun felt a little disappointed, but after a moment, he picked himself up and turned around and walked away.

Ling Yun didn't go far, he glanced back at the big cat, and saw that it was still lying there worry-free, as if it was not moved by anything, so he was completely disappointed, and walked forward without looking back.

"You wait, I'm willing, meow. Suddenly, the voice of a big cat lazy came from behind.

Ling Yun looked back and saw that the big cat's blue eyes were extraordinarily deep against the background of the moonlight, staring at him without blinking. Ling Yun was overjoyed and ran over to hug it.

The next day, as soon as the sun showed half of his head from the sky, Ling Yun, who was sleeping in a daze, was woken up by his grandfather and asked him if he would go to the city.

The room was quiet, and the sunlight filtered through the windows countless suspended dust.

"Oh no, grandpa is going to the city today!" Ling Yun woke up suddenly, but after a moment he was quiet again. Xindao Grandpa Mo Yue walked for an hour, and now it's too late to go, wait, he suddenly caught something, and thought that he just went to the city with Tuotuo today, anyway, he went more than once, and the road was still remembered.

The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one path leading outside. About two hours away from Shrimp Toad Village, there was a small town called Yongsheng, Ling Yun vaguely remembered that the last time he went to the city was half a year ago, and he forgot what exactly he was going to.

With that, Ling Yun hurriedly got out of bed and got dressed, while the big black cat lay lazily on the bed, showing no sign that it wanted to move.

"Tutuo, are you going?" the big black cat didn't move, and didn't respond at all.

"Don't run around if you don't go, don't steal other people's fish! I'll be gone, and I'll be back in the afternoon." ”

The area of Yongsheng City is not large, the bustling area is only two narrow streets perpendicular to each other, a horizontal street and a vertical street, these two long streets are usually congested, catch up with today is the market day, people come and go is really with shoulder to shoulder to describe it is not an exaggeration, more people is a financial road, so there are many thieves on these two streets, and one is not careful to be bad thieves.
