tall and rhubarb

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Chang came out of the activity center for the elderly, with an extra 30 yuan in his pocket. The price of meat seems to be not very expensive at the moment, and more than [-] yuan should be enough to sell a few ribs.

"Hi, Gao Chang." Someone called him from behind.

"Why?" Although it was rebirth and not soul transmigration, in theory, everyone Gao Chang knew in high school should also know Gao Chang now, but after all, it has been more than ten years, and many memories are blurred, so now Gao Chang talks as little as he can.

"I'm from Class Six, do you recognize me?" The boy who spoke was about 1.7 meters tall, as thin as a human skeleton specimen, and wore a pair of glasses. He looked unhealthy everywhere.

"Your name……"

"My name is Zhou Ming. I saw you playing mahjong just now. My friends and I are going to set up a mahjong game at home tonight. Are you coming?"

"I won't go." What if it was something, it turned out that they were looking for him to gamble.

"Why don't you come? With your skills, you are guaranteed to win."

"My grandma doesn't let me go out at night." Gao Chang made up an excuse and left. Che... Playing mahjong with the group of hairy boys who haven't even grown up yet, he is not full.

Although there is a person in the activity center for the elderly who is not very decent, most people come out for entertainment, with three or five hundred in their pockets, and if they lose thirty or fifty at most a hundred or so, they will stop playing.Those high school students who gather to gamble must be different. Young people dare to play with others for three or five hundred if they have thirty or fifty in their pockets. Well, if you run into someone who is not clear-headed, you might even end up in a life-and-death lawsuit.

Gao Chang admitted that he was quite afraid of death, and there was nothing he could do about it. Those who have died once know how to cherish their lives. No good thing is better than a life. Only by saving a little life can we eat and drink well.

When Gao Chang arrived at the vegetable market, the pork stalls had all been closed, and the pork ribs had been sold out, leaving only half a copper bone with not much meat on it.According to Gao Chang's meaning, it is natural to buy a piece of meat and go back to eat to be more enjoyable, but considering the rhubarb in his arms that is still fainting and falling asleep, he still gritted his teeth and endured it, let's buy half a copper bone and go back, this time If the son buys meat and copper bones at the same time, he is worried that the old lady will nag.

Holding the plastic bag in one hand, he reached into his bosom with the other and grabbed the rhubarb, letting it lie on his forearm, so he could get some air after all.When passing by the pharmacy, Gao Chang turned in and said he wanted antipyretics. The drug seller took a look at the rhubarb in Gao Chang's hand, and handed him two antipyretics without asking any further questions.This is an extraordinary period. Although no SARS case has been found in their town, there is a slightly tense atmosphere under the general environment of the country's fight against SARS.

In the evening, Grandma Gao stewed the half copper bone until it was rotten. The meat and bones were piled up in Gao Chang's bowl. Gao Chang definitely couldn't eat alone, so he made a bowl of rhubarb soup, and then let grandma eat some minced meat After drinking some soup, the old man lost all her teeth, and usually picks up soft vegetables for meals, and she just can eat some of this copper bone soup.

Gao Chang did not hide the origin of the half copper bone. After all, he will continue to improve the food in the future. The money on his body must have a source. The old lady is not stupid, and it will definitely not work if she cheats.

"Grandma, I was walking on the street today, and I met a classmate from our class. He insisted on taking me to the elderly activity center. He played mahjong with his parents for a long time and won more than ten yuan. He happened to buy a copper bone." gone."

"Ah Chang can still play mahjong?" The old lady grinned happily, the two rows of tooth sockets were empty without a single tooth.

"What's so difficult about this, you can learn it once you learn it."

"Hey, my grandson is smart." The grandson won the mahjong game, and the old lady felt very proud. It's not like some parents don't allow their children to do this or that. In her opinion, The grandchildren live well and live a long life. It would be better to have a bunch of great-grandchildren, that would be better than anything else.

"Hey, later my classmate asked me to play again at night, and said he wanted to play big, so I said my grandma wouldn't let me go, ha ha." The 28-year-old Gao Chang shamelessly put on a 17-year-old face and continued to behave.

"Oh, that's right, you can't play with big ones. My grandson is sensible, but you can't play with big ones. What if something happens."

Gao Chang was so obedient and sweet, he coaxed Grandma Gao into joy. The grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed, and it wasn't until dark that Grandma Gao remembered that she hadn't washed the dishes yet.Grandma Gao is a very traditional woman. She never let Gao Chang do housework, but after Grandma Gao left, Gao Chang had to learn to wash and cook by herself.

Rhubarb also finished the bowl of bone soup, so Gao Chang took out the two antipyretics he bought at the pharmacy, tore off the aluminum foil behind the plastic grid, and then cut it in half with a knife, thinking about it and cutting it again. One cut, the body of this rhubarb is only so small, it can eat at most a quarter of a slice at a time.

"Hey, Rhubarb, come here and take the medicine." Having prepared the pills and water, Gao Chang dug the rhubarb out of the nest and prepared to pour the medicine.

"Don't eat." Rhubarb rested his front paws on his long wrists, and turned his head to one side.

"What?" Gao Chang's voice suddenly rose, and Grandma Gao, who was washing the dishes outside, slipped her hand and almost broke a plate.

"Don't eat." Rhubarb glanced at Gao Chang secretly, then turned his head away again.

"Fuck, how can his grandma talk to dogs?" Gao Chang was startled, and threw the rhubarb on the ground. Fortunately, although the puppy was a little weak, the reaction was not too slow, and it rolled over before landing. body, finally did not fall on all fours.

"I'm a descendant of Inugami, not an ordinary dog." The tiny Rhubarb stood on the ground and raised his head to look at Gao Chang, with a serious expression on his face.

"Descendants of the Inugami?" Gao Chang tried his best to keep himself calm and calm. The good things like rebirth have happened to him, and it doesn't seem too strange to meet a talking dog.

"Yes." Rhubarb raised his head a little higher.

"Is it very powerful?" This is a descendant of a god or something, which sounds a bit arrogant.

"Of course, the bloodline of the Inugami family has become weaker and weaker, and there are not many dogs that can be inherited."

"Then what can you do?" Turning stone into gold is too outrageous, but it's good to have some other money-making skills, so that you can follow suit in the future, and you can eat ribs every day.

"It can talk, has a higher IQ than its peers, and is more agile. It will be more lethal when it grows up." Rhubarb frowned, probably trying to sort out the infinite data in its limited brain capacity.

"Is there anything... something economical." It's still a peaceful time, and the lethality is not available for a while.

"Economy?" The descendant of Inugami didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

"It's the way to get money, like we buy bones to eat today."

"I haven't found it yet, but I just got the inheritance, and I haven't digested many things..." Rhubarb's voice became smaller and smaller, and it finally understood his situation. will make money.

"Cut..." Gao Chang has been in the society for many years anyway, how could he be fooled by this dog so easily, it seems that he is a descendant of the dog god, that's all, except he can talk Yes, I will have to continue to support myself in the future.

"Hmph, it's not just memory that is passed on. When I practice to a certain level, I don't want to have anything. If you like money, I'll grab it for you."

"You will be jailed for robbery." It seems that this talking dog is not only not very capable, but also has a low IQ.

"Then they have to be able to lock me up first." The inherited memories told Da Huang that the cell is not terrible.

"Well, Rhubarb, how old are you this year?" Gao Chang felt that if he kept arguing with it, his IQ would decrease.

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"Yeah, I can't remember anything before Kaizhi."

"Kaizhi?"

"It's the inheritance. Accepting the inherited memory is considered enlightened. Because you have to accept a lot of memories, the pressure on your body is relatively high, so you get sick."

"Oh, I guess you must be young." You are only so old, you must be less than a year old.

"You don't know, the enlightenment incarnation and crossing the catastrophe will bring our dog's body back to its original form, which is tantamount to practicing again, but with the previous foundation, we will soon be able to return to the previous level. Rhubarb kept his head up all the time, his neck was probably a little sore, and his physical strength couldn't keep up, so he stretched himself, crawled into his nest and continued to squat.

"Isn't that very dangerous?" Gao Chang felt as if he had grasped the point of the problem.

"Yeah, close to death." Thinking of his dangerous past few days, Rhubarb still feels lingering fear. "Crossing the catastrophe is the most dangerous, and the transformation is safe."

"Oh, so to speak, Rhubarb, I'm your savior, right?" I have to fight for my own interests, and I don't know how many years it will take for this little dog to develop the consciousness to repay his kindness.

"Hmph, didn't you still want to get rid of me before?" Speaking of this, Rhubarb was upset.

"Isn't that out of helplessness? You know you've been very nervous recently. People in the village thought you had SARS. Besides, I didn't abandon you in the end!"

"I didn't get SARS!" said Rhubarb and sneezed again.

"But others don't know. Think about it. I took you in without knowing it. How dangerous is it? It's not what the descendants of the dog god should do if they don't repay their kindness." Gao Chang squinted It glanced at it, and it meant that if this guy didn't give him some favors, he would be thrown out of the house.

"That... I will repay you in the future..." The person who ate had a short mouth, and Rhubarb also felt that the bowl of copper bone soup just tasted good, and didn't want to be kicked out so soon.
