The Cat's Inheritance

Master Wang's room is close, and he sleeps lightly at night, so it is not impossible to ask him to get up and open the door, but Ah Li is inexplicably embarrassed.

The two stood outside the gate of the institute, looking at each other, without speaking for a while.

The strawberry-flavored ice cream melted little by little, and there was a hint of sweetness in the air.

Qin Gong proposed to go to the roof of the car to watch the moon.

The car body was covered with some night dew, and it was a little slippery, not very easy to climb.Ah Li stepped on the tires and rolled over, pulling Xin Qin from above.The two climbed onto the roof together, carefully found a suitable position, stepped on the windshield wipers, and sat down.

Qin Gong gave up his coat to Ah Li.There was a bit of warmth and a nice smell on his coat.The clothes were a little too big, Ali buried her chin in the neckline, and took a deep breath.

Hardworking took out a large can of ice cream from the bag and lifted the lid.The ice cream melted just right, and when you slide it gently with a spoon, you can scoop out a spoonful of round and smooth ice cream balls, pink and strawberry flavored, with strawberry particles inside, sour and sweet.

Hardworking doesn't like sweets very much, so he handed the whole can of ice cream to Ali directly, took out a bottle of cold beer himself, bit the cap off the bottle with his teeth, and took a sip.

Ah Li pricked up her ears and heard the sound of bubbling and bubbling in the beer bottle.Kind of like Coke.He licked his spoon and stared curiously at the hard-working beer bottle.

Xin Qin shook the wine bottle and asked him with a smile, "Have you ever drank it?"

Ali shook her head.

Qin Qin handed him the bottle, and Ali took it, and took a small sip to taste it.It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but it's definitely not as good as ice cream.Ah Li smacked her lips and pushed the bottle back in disgust.He picked up the ice cream again, scooped it up one by one, and put it in his mouth contentedly.

After eating too much ice, she felt cold all over, and Ah Li's scalp was numb from the cold.He put down the ice cream bucket, clenched his fists and shivered, and could feel the hairs on his back and arms standing up.

awesome.

Ali sighed.

Hard work stretched out his hand.Ali put her hand in his palm.The body temperature of the hard work has warmed up, and the palms of the hands are generous and warm, and it feels very comfortable to the touch.Ah Li suddenly felt that this appearance was very amusing. He stretched his five fingers, just like he used to play with Miwu, he opened his palm, retracted it, and opened it again...

Qin Qin squeezed the palm of Ali's palm, put away his palm, and held Ali's hand tightly.

Looking up, the night sky is endless, the clouds are like the sea, and the moon is like a lonely boat.Bathed in the moonlight, cleanse the soul.They forgot two years ago, forgot yesterday, forgot the future, and forgot the long time.At this moment, there is only the present, the present, the person in front of you, the person in your heart, the heart at this moment, and the things in your life.

Ali sighed softly, "I can't even see the stars."

Although the moonlight is also beautiful, but occasionally I want to see some stars.After becoming a human, you will become greedy.

Xin Qin said: "Because the moon is too bright, the stars have disappeared."

"After the moon is shattered, it becomes little stars." Ali said firmly.

Qin Qin didn't correct him, but just asked, "Want to go see the stars?"

Ali nodded.

"Take leave with your teacher tomorrow."

Ali was puzzled and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xin Qin looked away from the moon sky and looked at Ali. "Let's go to the stars."

Ah Li also looked at Qin Qin, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly felt blessed and asked, "Is it a date?"

Qin Qin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.He nodded and said, "It's a date."

There is still a small half of the strawberry ice cream left, which melts on the bottom of the box, sticky and sweet, and turns into a puddle of water.

Ali's fingers were also sticky.He couldn't help aligning his index finger and thumb, repeatedly touching the fingertips, feeling the sticky touch.

"Okay." He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "However, I have to send out the date request. I still have to prepare."

Qin Qin was a little surprised, but finally nodded in agreement.

…………

There was a small bench in the middle of the yard, and Ah Li sat on it in an orderly manner, with her hands on her knees obediently.A white towel was wrapped around his neck, and the corner of the towel was tied into a small bow.Master Wang holds a huge bowl in his left hand and a pair of scissors in his right.He put the bowl on Ali's head and concentrated on cutting his hair.

Click, click, the scissors made a sharp cutting sound.Some fine hair flakes fell down with his movements.Ali couldn't help but blinked.

Wang Youyu and his brother had a rare vacation today and came back to the small courtyard of the research institute.At this time, he was lying on his brother's back, looking at Master Wang and Ali curiously, and asked in a soft voice: "What does Uncle Wang do to shave Brother Bing, does Brother Bing also need an injection?"

Ali's neck was fixed by Master Wang, unable to move, so she waved her arms stiffly, and said to Wang Youyu, "Go away, you little kitten."

Wang Youyu didn't take it seriously, struggled to slip off his brother's back, bounced to Ali's feet, bit his trouser legs for a while, and ran after those tiny hair fragments, running Sneezing incessantly.After playing for a while, he went to pounce on Master Wang's calf again, causing him to almost cut A Li's bangs with a scissor.

Before Ah Li got angry, Wang Niannian came over silently and took his brother to the corner.

"Brother, shall we also cut our bangs?" Xiao Yu'er asked Nian Nian in a low voice.

Nian Nian thought about it, lowered his head, licked the top of his brother's raccoon pattern head, and said, "You have bangs yourself, you don't need to cut them."

Xiao Yu'er felt relieved, played with his tail for a while, and suddenly thought of something, raised his head curiously, and asked, "Then, what is a date?"

I have just entered high school every year, and I have not learned a lot of knowledge.He frowned, thought for a while, and said apologetically, "I don't know either."

Xiao Yu'er licked his brother's paw comfortingly, and whispered, "It's okay, I'll tell you when I grow up and learn it."

Niannian nodded and said, "Okay."

Master Wang has been busy for more than half an hour, and finally trimmed Ali's hair neatly.He used the towel around Ah Li's neck to quickly sweep away all the broken hair, and then lifted the bowl, revealing Ah Li's new hairstyle.

Ah Li held up the mirror, looked back and forth, and asked Huang Dou, who was watching the fun, "Does it look good?"

Soybean tried his best to open his triangular eyes, looked at it for a while, and nodded silently.

Ah Li put down the mirror contentedly, ran up to the room on the second floor in one breath, and changed into his new clothes.This outfit is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of all the cats in the institute. Although Master Wang bought it cheaply on the Internet, it was the most attractive outfit selected by everyone working together.

Short hair, broken bangs, leopard-print vest, fringed ripped jeans, and the messenger bag that Miwu gave him on his back, coupled with his big shiny gold chain, is simply perfect.

After Ah Li changed all her outfits, she went to ask Teacher Wang for leave.Teacher Wang looked it up and down, nodded affirmatively, "It looks good."

There was a circle of cats under Ah Li's feet, all scratching his tassels enthusiastically.Ali regards these onlookers as a compliment to her outfit.

He triumphantly went down the mountain.Along the way, Ah Li was almost jogging, and only stopped halfway to pick up a handful of dogtail grass.

When Ah Li showed up at the Sparta restaurant holding a large bunch of dogtail grass, Ling Ting couldn't help covering her face.She had never understood what embarrassment was, but now she finally understood it.To her admiration, Qin Qin took the handful of foxtail grass without changing his face, and put it in the refrigerator with great care.

Ling Ting's mind was filled with sentences written in cursive script in the second grade of junior high school: Damn, there is such an operation!

Ah Li was very excited, but still suppressed her mood, dragged her hard work to a corner of the backyard, lowered her head to organize her words for a while, and then said, "Let's go on a date!" He had already prepared an affectionate speech.The reference answer says that farewell in person should pay attention to the atmosphere, pay attention to the wording, be affectionate, and be sincere and moving.But as soon as she saw Miwu herself, Ali abandoned all principles and couldn't think of anything, so she had to express her most straightforward wish.

Qin Qin looked at him, nodded, and replied, "Okay."

Ali looked at him happily, held Miwu's hand, and was reluctant to let go. She giggled for a long time, but couldn't say another word.

In the end, I couldn't hold back my hard work and laughed out loud.He asked Ali, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Ali shook her head, "Not anymore."

"Then we're going on a date, where are we going? How are we going? What are we going to do when we go?"

Ah Li frowned, is there such a complicated follow-up?He stretched out his hand and scratched his neck, maybe the broken hair hadn't been cleaned up completely, and it was a bit irritating.

Xin Qin lifted his collar, checked it, and said, "You come with me."

Ah Li continued to scratch her neck, and asked as she walked along, "Then where are we going?"

His bangs were not neatly cut, with several gaps, but they were surprisingly not ugly, making him look even more childish.Qin Qin couldn't help stroking Ali's hair with his hands, and even flicked his bangs a few times.Ali looked at him and smiled.Qin Qin also laughed and said, "Just follow me."

Ali followed Xinqin to the staff lounge, where there were two raccoon cats who were lazy during working hours.Ah Li saw at a glance that it was a key member of the Lihua Tiantuan who had only recently come to help.He deliberately kicked the chair and made a loud noise, scaring the two raccoon cats away.Seeing the two of them running away, Ah Li laughed out loud.

He worked hard to get a warm wet towel, carefully wiped the broken hair on Ali's neck, and then asked him to change into the clothes he had prepared for him in advance, a simple and comfortable sportswear.Holding the new clothes, Ah Li was a little confused, why did she change clothes?Are my clothes ugly?

Xin Qin smiled and said, "Where we are going, it is more convenient to wear these clothes."

Ah Li obediently changed her clothes and shoes.The clothes are new, but they fit well, and the soles of the shoes are soft and comfortable, stepping on them, just like his old paws.He put on his clothes and went out to show it to Xin Qin.

Hardworking looked at it carefully, nodded and praised: "It looks good."

Ah Li showed her little canine teeth.

Xin Qin explained to Ling Ting and the others that he would be going out for two days.Ling Ting protested, the boss was too unkind, he went out as soon as he said, it was too sudden.In fact, the business is gradually getting on the right track now, and we have worked hard to formulate more standardized and strict employee regulations. As long as everyone performs their duties, generally there will be no major problems.Ling Ting complained like this because she couldn't get used to the behavior of a rich peasant who only confessed to her two days ago and started dating today.

"When the psychological endurance requirements of your employees are too high, they will be stimulated if they are not careful, and they will stick to their posts even though they are hurt."

Qin Qin just smiled and didn't answer.As early as the night when Ah Li said that he was going on a date, he made a travel plan.He has prepared all the necessary items in his car, and they can leave just waiting for Ah Li to nod.

Ling Ting muttered, it's nice to have money, it's nice to have someone you like...it's amazing, hum!

Ali followed Xinqin into the car, fastened her seat belt, and didn't ask where she was going, as if she had already gotten used to it.He turned on the radio with ease and tuned to a channel that only sang but didn't speak.Listening to the radio is Ali's new hobby recently.Sometimes he is alone and can lie on the window sill and listen for a long time.This feeling of listening to the radio is very lively, like being in a crowd.

Qin Qin handed Ali a snack box, which contained two rows of shrimp dumplings.Alysai ate one for Hardin, and ate the rest by herself, and then fell asleep soundly.When he woke up, it was already afternoon and the destination had arrived.

Hardworking parked the car, put on a huge backpack, and led Ali to the entrance.They are going to climb a mountain.

Minghe Mountain is not high, and the highest peak is only more than 800 meters, but it has not been fully developed, and there is no comfortable road up the mountain. There are only a few narrow paths, climbing up the mountain along the rock.It takes a lot of energy to climb to the top of the mountain in one breath.

I didn't see anyone along the way.The trees at the foot of the mountain are luxuriant and dense, and there is no light. You can only hear the sound of footsteps falling on the wet layer of fallen wood; further up, there are shorter tree species. The sun begins to penetrate the dense forest, drying the mountain road dry, and the stream It murmured, but there was no trace; when approaching the top of the mountain, the dwarf bushes could no longer block the dazzling sunlight, and the moisture was swept away.They found a stream like a silver dragon, roaring from the top of the mountain, rushing straight to the foot of the mountain.

Ali stood among the small mountain roads, turned around and looked at the road when she came and went, it was tangled and intertwined, with no end in sight.Stratus covered the sun, and the shadow of the cloud was cast on the forest cover in the valley, like a boat floating in the green ocean, flickering and disappearing.After a while, the boat disappeared, and the sun came out again.Ari looked up and quickly narrowed her eyes.

Xin Qin put a hat on Ali's head, patted him on the back, and asked, "Can I still climb up? There is still about half an hour to go."

In the end, Ali was carried to the top of the mountain by hard work.He was carrying a big hardworking backpack, and his whole body was heavily pressed on his hardworking back.The short and soft hair fell on Qin Gong's neck, like a soft animal lying on its stomach.

There is an ancient temple near the top of the mountain, where you can stay overnight and only charge a small amount of money for fasting meals.But the vegetarian meal was not very tasty, the rice grains were rough, and the pickles had a musty smell.Ah Li didn't really want to eat it, so she tore some bread for him, and then ate his vegetarian meal.

After eating, I diligently washed the dishes with mountain springs.Even though it was midsummer, the spring water in the mountain was cold, and it was quite cool when it hit my hand.

Clean it up diligently and dry your hands with a paper towel.Ah Li secretly grabbed him, and whispered to him, biting his ear. "Are we going to live here?"

Xin Qin asked, "Do you like living here?"

Ali hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.There are no lights here, and it looks dark.The room also had a damp musty smell.

Xin Qin smiled and said, "Then we won't live here. Let's rest for a while, and when you wake up, we will climb to the highest peak again, and I will get you something delicious."

The two lay down in their clothes and took a nap.Because she was thinking about delicious food, Ali didn't fall asleep much.After waking up, he urged Hardin to get on the road quickly.Qin Qin asked him to put on the jacket, and the two of them were ready to set off from the temple and continue to walk up.

In the evening, the sky darkened, the mountain road became more rugged, and the wind was so strong that I couldn't wear a hat.Hard work turned on the flashlight.Ah Li is very at ease, even though he is no longer a cat, cat genes still endow him with extraordinary eyesight, even in dim light, he can distinguish the shape of objects very well.However, he still obediently followed behind hardworking.

After climbing for about 10 minutes, they came to Yise Peak, the peak of Minghe Mountain.We worked hard to find the leeward place, and with the last ray of skylight, we set up the tent.Ali stood aside, unable to help, so she took out the radio and slowly adjusted the channel.The frequency of radio stations that can be received on the top of the mountain is limited. In addition to the whistling wind, there is only the sound of electric current hissing in the air.

Ali sighed and finally gave up.

Fortunately, Hardworking quickly prepared all the equipment for them to spend the night.He took out another bundle of space blankets, found a mountain top with the best view, laid it out, and asked Ah Li to come and sit down.

Ah Li sat down next to Xinqin.He worked hard to take out the thermos and let Ah Li drink some hot water.Then, he prepared a self-heating meal for Ali.Although it is ready-to-eat, it tastes surprisingly good and even has meat.Ah Li ate her head happily, and finally picked out the rice grains on the bottom of the basin one by one, and ate them clean.

After Ah Li finished eating, she worked hard to clean up the garbage, and came back to sit next to Ah Li.The temperature is getting lower and lower, and only each other's body temperature can keep warm.

The two leaned close together, quietly looking into the distance.

In front of them was the endless night sky.Under their feet is the top of the mountain.

The night is getting darker.

The night in the mountains is very cool.The warm water vapor accumulated during the day gradually rises from the surface of the earth, upwards, condenses, atomizes, forms droplets, frost, and snowflakes, and is scattered in the endless night. Looking up, the stars are like rain.

Ali was greatly shocked.Between the sky and the earth, he suddenly became extremely small, and Miwu also became extremely small.The two of them, like a pair of tiny black dots, melted into the immensity.Those bright stars are faltering, and it seems that they will fall on their shoulders in the next moment.He involuntarily leaned his head on Miwu's shoulder, feeling his body temperature.

Qin Qin wrapped the other side of Ali's body with a blanket.He explained softly: "This mountain is called Minghe Mountain, and here is Yise Peak. Minghe is the Galaxy, and Yise refers to the same color of heaven and earth."

Ali asked in confusion: "What is the same color of the world?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large bright spot suddenly appeared from nowhere, flickering like a star accidentally falling down.These bright spots will move, from one end to the other, gathering and spreading out.In the end, there are more and more, farther and farther, and they are integrated with the sky full of stars.

The sky and the earth are full of stars.

At this time, Ah Li heard Xin Qin say softly: "This is the same color of heaven and earth."

"This is the same color of heaven and earth..." Ali repeated in a whisper.

"Fireflies are the stars on the ground. Usually you can't find them, only when they want to, they will light up fluorescent light."

"Cunning." Ali commented unceremoniously.

Qin Qin stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth, and it melted in his mouth.Ah Li was so surprised that her scalp tingled, she chewed and asked, "What is this?"

"chocolate."

Wow--

It turns out that there are such delicious things in the world.

It's great to be a human.

Ah Li held her hardworking arm in her arms, feeling extremely happy.Dating is fun!

"There are more delicious things in this world, some things you couldn't eat before. Besides food, there are more interesting places." Xin Qin said.

"is it?"

"Well, as long as you think, there is a chance to achieve it."

Ali let out a long breath of satisfaction.Looking at the bright starry sky, he suddenly thought of a story, a fairy tale about the human world that he heard from his teacher.He stammered and relayed the story.

"After everyone dies, they will turn into a star in the sky, hanging far away, quietly waiting for the person he likes. If that person doesn't remember him, the star will disappear." A Li thought After thinking about it, he added, "After every cat dies, it will also turn into a star. If one day the star disappears, it must be because his human beings are living a happy life, and the cat feels that it can leave at ease."

"Then..." Xin Qin paused and asked, "Why didn't he choose to hang in the sky forever, so that when his humans miss him, they can still look up."

Ah Li thought for a while, and said in a tangled manner: "But the sky is so big, if he is always on it, what will happen to other cats?"

"But, isn't his human being so pitiful? Because, he really, really misses his cat."

A Li laughed and said, "If you love him very much, he will feel it. Then he doesn't have to go to heaven, he will always be in your heart, and he will never go anywhere."

The radio was suddenly connected to an unknown channel, and a faint singing sound hissed out.Intermittently, like a poem.

Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the dark night, the brightest star in the night sky, please guide me close to you 1
