ninth tail

Ji Xiao felt very depressed, he was too careless, that sentence slipped out so smoothly at that time.It might be better to change someone, but Ding Wei, this kind of child who lacks many nerves, once his attention is attracted by a certain problem, will become only one nerve.

Ding Wei hadn't smiled for three days in a row, and was tormented by the bitter problem of not being able to see Ji Xiao every day after he had nine tails, it was useless for Ji Xiao to tease him.

When sitting in the shape of a cat and recuperating by the lake, Ding Xiaozhuo obviously became less focused.

Several times, Ji Xiao saw that it had been in the state of a small vase for a short time, then it would drop its head from the chair to the ground, and then jump up with frightened fur, standing on the ground in a daze for a while Then he jumped back on the chair and continued.

He often hugs his tail while basking in the sun.

This won't work, Ji Xiao slowly sank himself to the bottom of the lake, holding a big rock in his arms to meditate, Ding Wei didn't turn his head, this state is definitely not a good thing.

And he doesn't know what's going on in Ding Wei's cat's mind, so don't have a clue about it, and something else will happen.

I'm going to find my uncle when I go back.

The day before the vacation, Ji Xiao took Ding Wei to leave the resort.There was nothing wrong with Ding Wei's health, but his mood was always low. The old lady took a bagful of dried small fish for them to eat on the road, and Ding Wei didn't seem interested.

"That young man is in a bad mood." The old lady looked at Ji Xiao with a smile.

"Well, he's a little...depressed." Ji Xiao smiled, that young man put everything on his face, anyone could tell that he was in a bad mood, and that young man was still a single-celled animal. I can't get out.

"No matter what happens," the old lady swayed gently on the rocking chair under the sun, patted her chest, "you have to follow your heart."

"Yeah." Ji Xiao also patted his chest subconsciously. Apart from remembering that Ding Wei kicked his chest that day, he has no other thoughts for the time being. The old lady's words sound philosophical and wise, but like A person like him who has no roots of wisdom probably won't be able to realize it for a while.

"What did grandma tell you?" Ding Wei and Ji Xiao waited for the bus beside the broken sign that they saw lying in the field when they came.

"Say what you want." Ji Xiao lit a cigarette and drank it.

"Follow your heart?" Ding Wei stared at him for a long time, and in the end, maybe his thoughts wandered off, and he reached out to touch the OK bandage on his face, "Does it still hurt?"

"I didn't feel any pain at all. I rolled in the field since I was a child. This injury is like clipping my nails. I don't feel it." Ji Xiao rubbed Ding Wei's hair, does it hurt?Damn it if it doesn't hurt, he grinned in pain when he yawned last night.

"Oh," Ding Wei nodded seriously, "You have a thick skin."

"Get out." Ji Xiao sighed, Ding Wei always reacted quickly when he shouldn't.

"What do you mean by heart?" Ding Wei suddenly asked after a while.

Ji Xiao pinched his cigarette and thought for a while: "I don't know, it literally means follow your heart."

Ding Wei didn't speak, just looked down at the tip of his shoe in a daze.

After a day of tossing, they returned to this familiar city. During the ten days, the two of them were a little entangled in their hearts because of the topic of nine tails.

Ding Wei went to look for Su Gui when he got out of the car. Since Chen Xiuyu fell asleep, he hadn't met Su Gui, and he was a little worried about him.

"Don't you want to rest for a while before going?" Ji Xiao was a little tired, seeing Ding Wei's energetic appearance, he was very emotional, he was getting old.

"It's okay, you can go to Su Gui's place to rest, just chat, and don't go out again," Ding Wei smiled, "I'll go to see you at night, don't close the door."

"Well, then I'll go back to the team and sleep," Ji Xiao helped Ding Wei stop the car, "You remember to call Lu Kuan and tell him you're back."

"You hit." Ding Wei was very straightforward.

"Okay, okay, I'll call." Ji Xiao smiled and closed the car door.

Watching the car disappear across the road, Ji Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Kuan's number.

"Are you back?" Lu Kuan was still talking through his cigarette.

"Well, Ding Wei is in good health."

"That's fine."

"Lu Kuan," Ji Xiao hesitated, "I want to see Uncle this afternoon, can you contact him?"

"You don't need to contact him, you can just go there and look for him last time. He's been here for the past few days." Lu Kuan didn't ask Ji Xiao why he was looking for uncle, "Where's Ding Wei?"

"I'm going to find Su Gui, how is Chen Xiuyu?" Even though he thought it was useless to ask, Ji Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"It's a beauty sleep, don't worry, if you can wake up, you will wake up if you have enough sleep."

When Ji Xiao was still selling holidays in Wu Zhijun's office, Lin Zi had already jumped down from the second floor: "Master Ji, you're back! I miss you so much! Why is there a smile on your face?"

"What are you shouting for? Are you disciplined?" Wu Zhijun glanced at him sideways, "Ji Xiao is going to the hospital to take care of his mother, not to travel, why are you so excited?"

"Oh." Lin Zi leaned on the door frame and glanced at Ji Xiao, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips, "How is your mother? Are you okay?"

"It's fine," Ji Xiao picked up his bag and pushed Lin Zi into the corridor, "There's nothing serious about it."

"That's good, that's good," Lin Zi glanced at Wu Zhijun's office, and moved to Ji Xiao's side, "You look good, did you have a good honeymoon?"

"Go away, do you have a serious thing?"

"Yes, where is my Cambodian gift?"

Ji Xiao threw the bag on the floor of the dormitory, rummaged through it for a long time, took out something from the bottom and put it in Lin Zi's hand: "For you."

Lin Zi stared at the things in his hands for a long time, and kicked Ji Xiao's ass for the last time: "Damn it, I waited for half a month and missed you every day for no reason, so why don't you bring me back a pebble? "

"What's the matter?" Ji Xiao fell down on the bed and looked at Lin Zi. He picked up this stone from the lake. He thought the lake was very magical, so he brought a stone back, "Just say whether you want it or not."

"Yes, I want a piece of grass too," Lin Zi put the stone into his pocket, "What's wrong with your face?"

"I rubbed it when I was picking rocks for you while climbing the mountain. Were you touched?"

"I'm so touched, you can just make it up, it's a thing without a conscience," Lin Zi turned and walked out, "I'm still on duty today, do you still have half a day off?"

"Well, I have to go out for a break, do you want to buy something?"

"No, you should rest," Lin Zi said while helping him to close the door, "Uncle Ji, you have something on your mind."

"That's right, when I really can't figure it out, I will definitely talk to you, Master Confidant." Ji Xiao waved his hand.

Su Gui looked pretty good, not as gloomy as Ding Wei was worried about. When he opened the door and saw Ding Wei standing outside, he laughed until he lost his eyes: "You're back."

"You laugh so silly." Su Gui brought Ding Wei to want to laugh too.

"Does the tail still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, and the eighth point is coming to the fore." Ding Wei sat cross-legged on the sofa, and when he mentioned this, he was habitually happy, but when he turned his face and remembered that he would not see Ji Xiao again, he immediately Another sigh.

"How nice, why sigh." Su Gui put the tea tray on the ground beside the sofa and sat down, and started to make tea. Although Ding Wei didn't drink it every time the tea was brewed, it was still more interesting than him alone.

"If I have nine tails, I won't be able to see Ji Xiao." Ding Wei stretched out his hand and poked Su Gui's nose. "I won't be able to see you either. No one will chase after you."

Su Gui was very calm, slowly pouring boiling water on the teapot: "Did you just think of this?"

"Hmm." Ding Wei rubbed his nose.

"Shouldn't you know this from the first day you got your tail trimmed? One day, everyone you know will never see you again." Su Gui was a little speechless.

"I haven't thought about it before, how can I think so far, at most I hope to quickly repair nine tails." Ding Wei lay down on the sofa, "So now I am very annoying."

"So dull," Su Gui sighed, "So uncle always says you are special because you are the only one among all the cats who is too dull to think of this result..."

"Shut up." Ding Wei stretched out his hand and flicked the small cup of tea that Su Guigang poured over with his fingers.

Su Gui put the cup away, and when she was about to pour water into the cup again, a series of thin bells sounded from the bedroom.

The familiar sound of the bell made Ding Wei suddenly jump up from the sofa and rush into Ding Wei's bedroom.

There is a small bell hanging beside Su Gui's bed, the same as the one in Ding Wei's hand, it is Chen Xiuyu's bell.When Ding Wei rushed to the side of the bell, the bell rang softly again.

"What's going on?" Ding Wei turned his head and found that Su Gui was still in the living room. After shouting this sentence, the bell on his hand also made the same sound, which was different from the usual ringing when his hands were shaking. He jumped up and ran back to the living room, "Su Gui!"

"It will always ring." Su Gui was still sitting in front of the tea tray, "The bell that uncle said can still ring is only Chen Xiuyu's."

"What does that mean? He's awake?" Ding Wei was surprised, Chen Xiuyu's bell could still ring, but not anyone else's?

"Uncle doesn't know why, it rings every day anyway." Su Gui smiled calmly.

Ding Wei sighed softly, resting his chin on Su Gui's shoulder, seemed to understand why Su Gui was so calm.

Ji Xiao parked his motorcycle outside the small yard. When he walked into the yard, he was startled. There was no cement in the yard, it was just ordinary mud. Now the mud has been turned over, and the yard is full of piles pile of soil.

The uncle was standing in the yard with a hoe smoking.

"Where are you digging mines?" Ji Xiao stood at the gate of the yard, not knowing where to go.

"Grow some vegetables." The uncle slowly puffed out a puff of smoke.

"...so interesting."

"What's up?"

"Well, should I go in or you come out?" Ji Xiao glanced at the messy yard, and before the uncle could answer, he backed out first, and he would have to step on the mud to get in.

The uncle followed and stomped his feet outside the yard, it was covered in yellow mud: "What's wrong with Ding Wei?"

"Uncle," Ji Xiao sat on the motorcycle and looked at him, "Do you have nine tails?"

"Yes, it looks like a fan. It looks good." The uncle sat down on a big rock by the courtyard wall.

"Really?" Ji Xiao had to confirm whether this matter was true, and he couldn't believe the uncle's unscrupulous answer.

"I can't grow another one if I lie to you."

"Then why are you still here? Isn't the nine-tailed cat supposed to ascend to immortality and disappear? Why do you still stay here?" Ji Xiao crossed his arms, and seeing the uncle's tone, he shouldn't be lying.

The uncle laughed for a while, raised his head and glanced at him: "Why, are you worried that you won't see Ding Wei in the future?"

"It's not that I'm worried, of course I'm really bothered by this matter, but now it's Ding Wei, he's more depressed than me, he just figured it out yesterday," Ji Xiao frowned, thinking of Ding Wei's depressed look, he felt a little Distressed, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to see him, and I'm also afraid that he will affect the trimming of his tail because of this matter. He always wanted nine tails, didn't he?"

"Fixing the tail is a process, not a result," the uncle replied without thinking. He picked up a branch from the ground and picked the mud off his shoes little by little. "Do whatever you want."

Follow your heart, follow your heart again!

"Follow your uncle's heart." Ji Xiao really didn't understand what this "follow one's heart" meant, and was a little annoyed. "Let me tell you, if Ding Wei is allowed to follow his heart now, he might stop trimming his tail. It's not in vain. Have you been tossing for 200 years, you nerves!"

"Then let you do what you want?" The uncle laughed, and he kept laughing, unable to stop.

"Xiao Mao," Ji Xiao was a little helpless, "If I really want to do what I want...it's so fucking insincere."

"Tell me, let me hear how dishonest it is." The uncle put away his smile.

"I will make a wish that Ding Wei will not be able to repair the ninth tail before I die," Ji Xiao stared at the uncle. Tail, he still doesn't want to see Ding Wei again, "I'm not that great, if I really follow my heart, I hope Ding Wei is just an ordinary person who can grow old with me and die together, that's all."

The uncle put down the branch in his hand, stood up, and stretched his waist: "Unfortunately, these are the wishes that the nine-tailed cat cannot fulfill."

The uncle's reaction was beyond Ji Xiao's expectation. It seemed that Ji Xiao's wish seemed ordinary to him. Ji Xiao cleared his throat: "Don't you condemn me?"

"So you came to me and wanted to know why I repaired Nine Tails, but I can still stay here, right?" The uncle patted the dirt on his clothes, "If Ding Wei can do the same, it is also a good choice, yes Bar?"

"That's right. Didn't you always say that he is special? Where is he special? I don't think there is anything special about him except that he is sometimes very slow to react and has a big temper."

"You're funny. Ding Wei's special thing is that he's always following his heart." The uncle laughed and patted the back seat of his motorcycle. "Come on, I'll take you to meet someone."
