tall and rhubarb

People in the yard are quite opposed to the fact that Gao Chang wants to keep a cat. Everyone has seen how aggressive cats are after being exposed to blue sunlight. Not willing to let this safety hazard live in their yard.

But Gao Chang has always been used to doing things in his own way, and he doesn't take what others say to him seriously, and he also has his own considerations for keeping cats, not just for fun.Someone reported this to Zheng Guobang and Zheng Guohong, wanting Gao Chang to kill the cat, but this time they did not stand up, but kept silent.

In addition, when they returned to the yard, the kitten was held in the mouth by Rhubarb. No matter how dissatisfied the people in the yard were, no one dared to go up and snatch it. They could only watch them one by one and the dog take the kitten. A kitten has gone into the house.

Because of such a kitten, the relationship between Gao Chang and the people in the yard, which had been gradually eased, suddenly became precarious again.But fortunately, Uncle Ashan and his family next door are very kind to Gao Chang and Da Huang. Last time, because of Gao Chang's help, Zheng Guoxi finally got his life back, but his right leg was bitten by a wild boar. If you lose a muscle, you will definitely have a limp when you walk in the future.

Aunt Ashan and Uncle Ashan are very happy. My son has been around the gate of hell, and he is very lucky to be able to survive. There are no other complaints. His friend went to the yard to warm up with his back on his back, and he would also talk to everyone.

Of course, this accident also made their family a little different from usual, especially Uncle Ashan and Aunt Ashan, who used to be like good people, have become less talkative.Because the two of them always felt that if the husband and wife could stick to their attitude and refused to let Zheng Guoxi go this time, the son would not have such an accident. There were so many people in the village at that time, which one didn't drag and pull his family to go up the mountain? As long as the two of them are easy to talk to, there is such a bitter fruit now.

As for the medicine that Zheng Guoxi took, his family said that it was provided by the young man named Gong Jian who lived in their house.During this time, Zheng Guoxi ran out of amoxicillin, and Gong Jian asked Gao Chang for some. Uncle Ashan and Aunt Ashan probably knew about it at that time. The reason was that Aunt Ashan went to Gao Chang’s house secretly Bring a large pot of stewed old hen over.

Gao Chang didn’t worry about keeping the kitten caught from the mountain outside. The houses in their yard are all made of stone and wood. There are always many big and small places like house beams. Animals that are good at drilling holes, such as cats and mice, can always shuttle freely in corners that people don't pay attention to.

If this kitten really bites the children in the yard, it is too tall, so we can only lock it in the cellar for the time being, and make plans after watching its future performance. It has been locked in it all the time, so it can guarantee that the tall cellar stockpiles will not be infested by mice.

The few toads in the cellar were all found by Gao Chang. Anyway, if there were cockroaches, the kitten would probably eat them. Even if it didn't eat them, with its animal instinct, it would definitely kill these cockroaches.If this guy dared to coexist peacefully with the cockroaches in the cellar, Gao Chang would kill it and throw it into the pigsty to feed the pigs without saying a word.

Most of the stockpiles in the cellar are canned food and seasonings, as well as some sundries.The packaging of canned food is very strong. With the strength of this kitten, it is impossible to bite open. Salt, sugar and honey are all packed in clay pots. The pots are tall and slippery, and the top part is large , the lower part is narrow, and most of the clay pots for thousands of years have this design, it should be to prevent things like rats and reptiles.To be on the safe side, Gao Chang put a bamboo board on the mouth of the jar that had been sealed with dripping wax, and pressed a stone on it.

The rice noodles are not so tightly packaged. The rice is packed in woven bags, and only a few wooden boards are placed on the ground and against the wall to insulate the moisture. Put it in a carton.But there are not many staple foods in the cellar of Gao Chang's house, and cats don't like to eat these things. If there are mice in the future, we must be careful.

Other things like tools and weapons, and some daily necessities, neither cockroaches nor cats will be interested.The most worrying thing is Gao Chang's clothes and shoes, as well as the clothes and shoes he prepared for Rhubarb after his transformation. These things are most likely to become victims of cats grinding their teeth and claws.There was no other way, so Gao Chang had to move them all into his room. Large and small cardboard boxes were stacked in the corner, and it was difficult to tell what they were in the dark.

The few wild fruits dug from the mountain were planted by Gao Chang next to the pig house. In order to make it easier for him to go back and forth, Gao Chang cut down two tall moso bamboos from the back of the yard, took the thickest part, and made a Take the long ladder.One end of this ladder is placed at the back door of Gao Chang's house, and the other end can reach any side of the pigsty in any direction. It is very convenient whether it is feeding and watering or climbing to the opposite side to pick wild fruits.This is because Gao Chang's house is relatively wide, and it is separated from other houses in the yard. There must be no place for such a ladder.

What Gao Chang likes to do the most is to go back to the yard to wash his face after being busy in the middle of the night, then go to the pigsty to pick a large basin of wild fruits, take them under the water pipe to wash them, and sit by the fire with Rhubarb Eating wild fruits while warming the fire, this period of time is the happiest time for Gao Chang. After breakfast in a while, he will go back to the house to practice.

Other people in the yard are not as relaxed as Gao Chang. As the temperature gradually rises, the cockroaches seem to have a tendency to reproduce faster and faster. Whenever they have time, they will catch cockroaches at home. It seems that the recent cockroaches have become They are getting bigger and bigger, and their destructive power is getting stronger and stronger. If they can't control the number and let them multiply in large numbers, the consequences will be unimaginable.

People began to look forward to the arrival of spring. When the weather was warm, the frogs and toads would end their hibernation. At that time, they would just grab a few and put them in the house, and it would not be as hard as it is now.People at this time didn't know that the spring of this year was not as hopeful as in previous years.

In the yard, we have recently organized several arable land sowing. In addition to some vegetables that everyone eats every day, we also opened a few paddy fields to plant rice. I hope that the current rice can grow wildly like vegetables and wild fruits, regardless of the season. The most important thing is The most important thing is to be able to produce ears of rice.Since the appearance of the blue sun, many people in the yard who used to work and live outside have returned, and many people in the town have chosen to return to their hometowns.Of course, there are still many people who have not returned, and the people in the yard cannot be sure whether those people are alive or dead now.

With the growth of the population, the villagers who have not had the habit of hoarding grain in the past few years have gradually become short of food rations at home. Now when eating big pot rice in the yard, everyone tries to eat more vegetables and less food. Usually, the more rice When it is not enough, it tastes sweeter and sweeter, and there is no comparison to any other dish.

When Gao Chang goes out to work, Rhubarb always follows him. Compared with the busy people, it is too leisurely. Its only duty is to protect Gao Chang's life safety.

Worried that the kitten in the cellar would be suffocated, Gao Chang would sometimes take it out. In order to prevent it from hurting adults and children in the village, he removed a wire from the house and tied it around its neck. The other end of the wire It was tied to one of Rhubarb's front legs, and whenever the cub behaved dishonestly, Rhubarb would shake the foreleg and pull him back.

When eating, Gao Chang didn’t come to the table very often, because the people in the yard couldn’t accept the fact that rhubarb was served on the table, so Gao Chang made food and rhubarb to eat around the fire, and then there was another cat cub .Recently, because there is not much rice in every household, everyone hopes to last for a few more days every time they hand in the rice collectively. To be fair, let the cooks divide the rice and meat dishes every time Okay, let's put the vegetarian dishes in a big pot for everyone to make for themselves. If there is not enough, you can make more.

Gao Chang paid the rations for two people to get two servings of rice. The so-called meat dish is actually a little bit of salted pork added to the dish, and then a little more salt than the vegetarian dish.

Before eating, Gao Chang would usually take out a small piece of meat from his portion of the dish and pass it to the kitten. The teeth are not very sharp, but it will bleed if bitten by it.Every time he saw it bleeding from its tall fingers, Rhubarb would pull the wire hard, causing the kitten to stagger.

And every time Gao Chang was bitten, he would not feed the cat any more meat for several days after that, and he would wait until the wound on his hand was almost healed before feeding it again.During the period in between, the kitten had to rely on himself to survive. Most of the time, he looked for cockroaches to eat in the cellar. Sometimes he was very hungry, and he would pull out a few grains of rice from the woven bag to chew. , when Gao Chang and the others leave the yard, if you are lucky, you can also find something to fill your stomach at 01:30.

After a while, the kitten was starved and skinny. In the dark night, the two green eyes shining with hunger looked particularly frightening. The children in the village stayed away from it, and the adults often stared at it for fear that it would break free. The wires fell on the children.Gao Chang was also a little disappointed. Maybe he was a little too naive. It seems that the changes brought about by this blue sunlight to animals are irreversible. It is very unlikely that humans will tame wild cats again.

But suddenly one day, the kitten seemed to be enlightened all of a sudden, and carefully took the piece of meat in Gao Chang's hand without hurting his fingers. Obviously, its performance made Gao Chang very satisfied, because he went on again. Feed two pieces of meat.In this way, little by little, the little cat found the pattern, and he knew that he must not hurt the tall fingers, otherwise he would not be able to eat meat.

Another day, after the kitten ate three slices of meat, he licked Gao Chang's finger unsatisfactorily. This behavior unexpectedly gave him an extra piece of meat. Gao Chang stretched out his hand and touched its neck in a good mood .No matter how the blue sun shines, the cat is still a cat after all, not to mention the comfort of being touched on the neck, the kitten can't help but squint its eyes and purr a few times.

Gradually, the kitten and Gao Chang became close. Although its motive was very direct, it wanted to get more meat, but this was already a good start.The kitten hadn't bit Gao Chang for a long time, but the number of times Da Huang pulled the wire didn't decrease at all, especially when the kitten licked Gao Chang's fingers vigorously, indicating that he wanted another piece of meat.
