only in this mountain

Chapter 15 Sadness

Inside the porcelain plate was a small yellow cylinder less than three centimeters long, stained with a trace of flesh and blood, making it difficult to identify.

"What is this?" Taking a closer look, he felt familiar, but not sure, so he cast his eyes on Zhang Huai.

Zhang Huai looked dignified, sighed and said, "I still don't suggest you continue to keep that wolf. It is dangerous in itself, let alone its origin is unknown."

Jiang He had a bitter face and was not happy to hear him say such words. He thought that his attitude yesterday would not care about his raising Haha, and he was still in a happy mood two minutes ago: "I don't know how to refute You, but it's not in good shape right now."

"Did you really not recognize what this is?" Zhang Huai pointed to the things on the porcelain plate, "I touched it yesterday and knew it wasn't a cyst or other lesion, and its physical injury was more serious than you imagined. Too much, if it was Er Fool who was shot, he would probably die, but it survived and wandered on the mountain for at least a month. You thought that Er Fool caught the pheasant when you met it, but it was in the wild. It’s just slowly wearing down the stamina of the prey, it’s tenacious enough to gain a foothold in the wild.”

To be honest, Jiang He has lived in a relatively closed and safe environment since he was a child. He has never experienced strong winds and waves, and he takes many things for granted. He is especially stubborn about the things he likes and believes. Huai, but still can't accept it emotionally.

"Be obedient, don't be angry, let it go back to where it should belong." Putting his hands on his shoulders, his tone was a little more relaxed than before, and there was a bit of worry and sadness in Zhang Huaiying's straight brows. Jiang He couldn't open his mouth anymore.

Just because he doesn't refute Zhang Huai doesn't mean he's really obedient and gives up haha.When the mountain god stone was not on him, before he had the ability to understand the speech of animals, he thought that spiritual animals could understand human actions and emotions, and sometimes they could even reach a high degree of agreement with human emotions, half a child. When getting along with Yue, although Haha didn't say a word like an autistic child, Jiang He seemed to feel that he knew what he was talking about and understood the meaning of his every move.

"I'm sorry, I can't put you in my house. I will build a nest for you on the mountain and bring you food every day."

Although Zhang Huai didn't want Jiang He to raise Haha, he still carefully bandaged Haha's wound, and even trimmed its fur neatly again. It looked like a wolf from before, but it also looked thinner and weaker. up.

"Although he is kind, but it's winter now, there is no hair, and there is no house. What if it snows?"

Haha sat on the steps and looked ahead, without responding to Jiang He.

"Well said, it's probably going to snow in the last two days." A voice came from the sofa, and when Jiang He turned around, he saw the yellow shirt stretching in human form.

"Why are you at my house?"

"Your sofa is more comfortable. I'll come over and take a nap."

"Where's Xiong Xiong?"

"It's hibernating, do you want to go and see it?"

"No, no need, you just said that it will snow, is that true?"

Weasel Jing squinted his eyes and smiled slyly: "Don't you think the temperature is a little higher these days? The air humidity is also unprecedentedly low. It is estimated that the temperature will suddenly drop the day after tomorrow. Snow is a matter of course."

Jiang He frowned in distress, haha, and then heard Huang Shan giggling and said: "Your man won't raise you unless he asks you to raise it. If you're so obedient, isn't that what you humans call bronchitis?"

Jiang He blushed, embarrassing and annoyed: "What are you talking about, what are you... I'm a man, he and I are both men."

Huangshan said again: "You treat him as a man, but he treats you as a woman. Maybe you will go to sleep with him and he will agree."

Doesn't he know a little too much for an animal?Embarrassed and ashamed, Jiang He mumbled, "Don't talk nonsense."

Huang Shan: "Hee hee, you'll know if you're talking nonsense. To be honest, it's different from the wolves I've seen before. It can be seen that it has extraordinary trust and respect for humans." I don’t think I’m a wolf in my own cognition. If you’ve been raising it since childhood, I’m not surprised that it will be as bloodless as it is now.”

Jiang He: "If you want to say that it looks like a dog, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush, are you monsters as ruthless as you?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, human beings are really narrow-minded."

One person and one monster hurt each other, but in the end the weasel spirit had the upper hand. Jiang He just talked a lot when he was a child, and his mouth was relatively clumsy.Huang Shan asked again: "What are you going to do? Are you going to send it away?"

Haha was already curled up there lazily basking in the sun and sleeping, but his erect ears trembled from time to time, Jiang He squatted next to it again, without stroking Haha's head and back with his hands, just like his hesitant heart at this moment. Same: "I...I don't know."

Maybe it's the fellowship among animals, or maybe Huangshan suddenly wanted to be a kind and good monster. He solemnly announced: "Your wolf, I will take over from today on."

Jiang He laughed out of fright. It wasn't that he didn't believe in the yellow shirt. Apart from having cultivated for a few years more than ordinary animals, how could he have the ability to take care of a wolf?Although this wolf is similar to a dog, Jiang He still has to take care of the food and drink.But on second thought, as long as Ha Ha is not at home, Zhang Huai won't be able to see him when he comes.

Jiang He didn't have time to think about the series of follow-up questions, he just wanted to haha ​​and don't leave.

Went to the house on the yellow shirt and tidied up a clean room for Haha, and prepared a mattress thick enough to be his bed. Knowing how much he listened to, the appearance of not screaming or making trouble really made people feel distressed.

"If only you were a husky."

Haha changed his posture and lay down in the nest with his back to Jiang He.

For the next two days, Jiang He secretly went to feed and change Haha's medicine. Haha's eyes were better, not as cloudy as before, but the red color had not completely dissipated, and he still couldn't see the original pupil color clearly.Jiang He searched the Internet, and knew some differences between wolves and dogs, but he still expected in his heart that Haha would have husky-like ice blue eyes.

Compared with humans, animals that are closer to nature are more sensitive to weather perception than humans.Jiang He just felt that the first night was extremely hot and dry, but when he got up the next day, he saw that a layer of snow like icing sugar had fallen on the yard outside.He didn't feel the sudden drop in temperature as the yellow shirt said, probably because he had been staying in the closed room. After a night of hard work, the strong cold air arrived as expected, and the snowflakes followed.

It is said that snow does not turn snow into cold, but Jiang He was shivering from the cold after standing at the door for less than 2 minutes.As a southerner who has seen snow, he was not surprised at all, but it was the first time in his life that Er Fooldog saw snow and jumped up and down happily in the yard.After Jiang He boiled hot water for washing, he cooked a bowl of noodles for himself. Within a short time, the snow had already formed the size of cotton wool, which greatly reduced the visibility of his sight.

"The mountains and rivers are general, the mouth of the well is a hole, the yellow dog's body is white, the white dog's body is swollen...the black dog is even more stupid!"

After drawing a sketch, Jiang He put on his hat and gloves and went to the yard to pile up two snow dogs. After taking several photos, he certainly didn't forget to post a Weibo.

There was no new manuscript to draw, and Jiang He rubbed his cold hands and didn't really want to start writing, so he filled his hot water bottle with hot water and stuffed it under the covers to watch a movie.He had to go to school in the afternoon, so after the temperature of the hot water bottle cooled, he didn't procrastinate in bed. He made lunch for himself, served the "two dogs" to eat and drink, and went to school to sign in early before it was time.

Originally, Jiang He thought that someone would come over to show him a little concern in this weather, until he slowly finished dinner and waited until the food was cold before finishing the meal, the person he was looking forward to never showed up in his yard.

There must be some people who say that they are not disappointed, but when it comes to anger, he has no position or basis at all.

The gloomy mood was created by the cold weather, Jiang He was still not in the mood to draw at night, so he casually painted a picture of Haha's big head, imagining Haha's heroic appearance when he was back to health.Usually he couldn't fall asleep before twelve o'clock, but today he was so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting as soon as nine o'clock, so he simply threw away the paintbrush and went to bed after washing up.

What he didn't know was that Zhang Huai brought him the stove and charcoal, and stood outside the door for half an hour.

The reason is a bit ironic.

Zhang Huai sent him a message in the morning, asking him if he was cold, but he didn't get a reply. He thought Jiang He was angry at him for not letting him raise wolves. The accident was temporarily resolved, and he called Jiang He only to find that his cell phone had been shut down.He never thought that Jiang He would go to bed so early tonight.

I don't know what it feels like, but it's probably a ball of snow hitting my heart, which is a little better than directly piercing it with a knife.

Going home with his things intact, Zhang Yunyuan was sitting in the living room smoking a cigarette, with several cigarette butts under his feet, seeing Zhang Huai's depression, the anger that had been suffocated for a long time burst out: "You How old are you, can't you tell who treats you? Do you still want to be the same as before?"

Zhang Huai glanced at his father, but did not answer.

Father and son are often like this. Apart from their appearances being related by blood, their personalities are completely opposite. Once Zhang Yunyuan has something in his heart, he will definitely explode, but he is often in front of Zhang Huai because of Zhang Huai's silence. And no amount of resentment can be vented.One thing about Zhang Yunyuan is that he never beats children, even when Zhang Huai made his teeth itch with hatred when he was a child, he still sulked in the room by himself.

But this time is different, although he has acquiesced to the fact that his son likes men, but he can't turn a blind eye to his sacrifice without asking for consequences. If he can, he really wants to wake Zhang Huai up by scolding Zhang Huai's ears: " It's not a lifetime with whom to live, why hang on a tree?"

After thinking about it, he really didn't like any other men in the village who were the same age as Zhang Huai...Jiang He also didn't like him, he was short and ordinary, and there was nothing amazing about him.

So he was very angry and sad, wondering how Zhang Huai would live alone after he and Zhang Huai's grandfather had lived for a hundred years.

"After so many years, don't you think of going to find him?"

The person Zhang Yunyuan mentioned was Zhang Huai's high school classmate. He had visited their house with Zhang Huai in his third year of high school, and it was then that he knew that Zhang Huai liked men.The more specific details are far from clear to Zhang Yun, and he doesn’t want to think about it. With less than a month left before the college entrance examination, Zhang Huai was forced to change schools and almost missed the college entrance examination that year. Later, Zhang Huai’s college entrance examination volunteer was transferred. My own reasons, if he hadn't reacted too violently at the time...

Zhang Huai seemed to have thought of something, frowned and asked, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

"Isn't it because Jiang He looks like that boy back then? I remember, he was thin, with dimples on his face when he smiled..."

"I've forgotten. They don't look alike at all. I don't like him."

"Then why..." Zhang Yunyuan was a little shocked. Zhang Huai's answer was unexpected. He originally thought that Zhang Huai was always thinking about that boy back then and was single all the time. Forcing him to find a girl, if Zhang Huai doesn't like that boy, he's probably just not found a suitable one after being single for so many years, it doesn't matter whether the girl is a boy or a girl...Is that so?

"I just admit that I like men, I didn't say I like him."

Before he had time to be happy, Zhang Huai knocked Zhang Yunyuan back to the bottom of the valley with one sentence. He was trembling with anger, and realized that he might not be able to understand his son's inner thoughts for the rest of his life.

In order not to let himself die of anger early, Zhang Yunyuan decided to leave him alone after getting angry.

Right now, there is actually another thing that bothers him, and he smokes so much because of that.

"What do you think of taking Xiaoze to our home after Xiaoze's mother's funeral is over?"

Having said that, I have to mention what happened during the day today.

The snow didn't fall early in the morning. It started brewing around seven or eight o'clock, and it didn't start to snow until after nine o'clock. The snow fell on the ground around ten o'clock and stopped melting. Slowly, the ground turned pale.

A young man hurried to the village health center, hurried to his home with two village doctors, and then lamented one after another.

The teenage mother's room was in a mess, all the drawers were opened without exception, and things were scattered all over the floor. The sheets and quilt covers on the bed were stained red with blood, and the teenage mother was already cold and lifeless.

Wen Yanyan died. The murder weapon was a kitchen knife. She was cut in the neck and left in her chest. She was completely naked, with mottled bruises all over her body.

"Beast! This is really a crime!" Although the doctor in the village is not skilled in medicine, he is someone who has experience in human affairs. He can see at a glance how the scars on Wen Yanyan's body came from, and this family will do this kind of thing. There is only one adult man who is not as good as a beast, and it is definitely Zhang Erbai!

"Ozawa, where's your second uncle?"

Zhang Yuze still didn't speak. When he was in the health center, the village doctor figured out that something happened at home, so he followed him.None of them could solve the current situation, so they immediately went to the village chief.

Zhang Yunyuan scolded things that are inferior to animals more than a dozen times, while asking people to notify Wen Yanyan's family, and at the same time asking people to call the police to find Zhang Erbai. Yan's natal family was late for more than an hour, and by the time the police arrived, the crime scene had already been completely destroyed.

Everyone took it for granted that Wen Yanyan was killed by Zhang Erbai. As for the motive of the crime, Zhang Erbai had to find Zhang Erbai to determine.

"That goddamn Zhang Erbo, actually did such an unreasonable thing!" Zhang Yunyuan was indignant, the cigarette case was empty and he continued to refill it.

"Stop smoking, Dad. You should go to bed early, and you will be busy in the next few days." The water on the stove boiled, Zhang Huai poured the water into the kettle, and brought the washbasin over.Zhang Yunyuan took off his coat and washed his face, sighing while washing.

"I just thought Ozawa was a good kid. After we're all gone, you and him can take care of each other."

"Look at what Ozawa means. He has two uncles and an aunt. If he doesn't want to be with them, he can come and live with us. I will treat him as a younger brother, but it's up to him whether to leave or stay. own will."

After Zhang Yunyuan washed his face, he began to wash his feet again. One of his feet was a prosthetic so he didn't need to take off his shoes and socks, so he only put one foot in the basin.

The tall, middle-aged man sat a little aggrieved on the ponytail, with his waist bent, and his half-white hair seemed to have turned whiter before he knew it.

The snow fell silently, on such a slightly sad night, Zhang Huai rarely suffered from insomnia.

He turned on the computer and clicked on the webpage, and saw that the group he was particularly concerned about had been updated with new content.The corners of his mouth curled up, imagining that his hands that were red from the cold grabbed a handful of snow in the snow and threw it on the little black dog. A piece of snow fell on the tip of the little black dog's nose, and it couldn't lick it with its tongue out.
