Pet King

The wind screamed over Binhai City, the rain continued unabated, and sometimes there was no trace of wind. The next second wind was so strong that it felt like it was about to lift the roof.

Typhoons don't often come to Binhai City, but the climate has been warming and the oceans have been acidizing these years. Even 100-year floods have occurred at intervals. Typhoons are not so rare in comparison. They just happened to turn to Binhai City this year.

Small celery speaks slowly, but it doesn't matter, anyway, we can't do anything else in this weather, and even sleep has become a luxury.

There is a strong wind outside, a small wind inside, and the candlelight is swayed violently by the wind. The atmosphere is bright and dark, and the atmosphere is very suitable for listening to stories.

Except for the necessary work of absorbing water, twisting rags, pouring sewage to the second floor, adding ice cubes and sea salt to the aquarium, everyone is listening to the story of Xiao Celery, and because she speaks slowly, Another thing that everyone is very familiar with, even if you pour water and add ice, you can pick it up when you come back.

Zhang Zi'an couldn't help hearing it, looking around the interior furnishings that were beyond all expectations, he had a certain idea for the first time-what his parents left him was not only the pet shop itself, but some invisible ones but they did exist. s things.

Due to his long-term university and work in the field, his general impression of his parents' daily life in the pet shop was still in middle school. The story of Xiao Celery helped him fill the last days of his parents, as if to fill his heart. A blank.

The clerks could also hear God. Except for Jiang Feifei, the time for the other three to enter the shop was almost the same, but no matter who was going to work on the first day, they would see a little girl with two pigtails bouncing around. To punch in, as long as it was a school day, she was never absent. They thought she was just a neighbor child that Zhang Zi'an knew, but did not expect that she had such a tortuous experience before ... she seems to be the first clerk in the Tianzi of the pet shop.

The elves listened very attentively. Feimas and Fa pushed on the upper floor of the stairwell to listen, and even π quietly listened with a narrow head, while Shihua was far away from the bathroom on the second floor, but with her hearing, As long as you want to listen, you can tell everything on the first floor. This is what they did before they came to the pet store, and it is not even described in Pi's novels, at least not yet.

A year ago, Cai Meiwen couldn't remember it. She couldn't remember the term "lop-eared rabbit" once mentioned by Celery, and she couldn't remember saying "Our family doesn't have pets" — — But this is exactly what she would say. Maybe this is the so-called speaker is inadvertent, the listener is intentional.

Her gaze fell on the cash register at the door, where a small celery exercise book was spread out, and the only emergency light in the store was set aside.

She remembered that when she first saw Xiao Celery, she ignored other things because she was too excited, and now I think back, Xiao Celery's performance in the store is very relaxed. This relaxation cannot be disguised, only when it is very familiar and very Places that feel safe are so relaxed.

Therefore, Xiao Celery is not easily mixed with strangers. The fate between her and the pet shop has long since started, and it gradually deepens subtly.

"The owner's wife is ..." Cai Meiwen's gaze fell on Zhang Zi'an's face.

"My parents," he answered simply.

"They ..." Cai Meiwen hesitated to scan the store again, and saw no signs of middle-aged or elderly people's activities.

There are several ambiguities in Xiao Celery's description just now, including the period of closure for unknown reasons. Cai Meiwen was impressed with the period of inexplicable mood of Xiao Celery. Now I know that it was because the pet shop was closed. Already.

As an individual store with relatively free business hours, it is actually normal to close the store for a period of time. The owner may return to his hometown to visit relatives, may go out for a trip, or just want to take a few days off. After all, working 365 days a year is too tired ... but Even if it is temporarily closed, it will usually notify an old customer in advance, or put a notice on the door to tell customers where the shopkeeper went and when to come back, so as to avoid customers to save time.

Listen to the meaning of small celery, the owner and his wife went out of business very unexpectedly. They worked well the day before, and the next day ...

This future has caused Cai Meiwen some kind of bad hunch.

他们 "They ... left." Zhang Zi'an replied.

回答 He answered very vaguely, but his expression and tone had already shown the actual meaning of the word "away".

Cai Meiwen frowned, glanced at the little celery she didn't understand. This answer was the last thing she wanted to hear. Fortunately, Zhang Zi'an didn't answer it very straightforwardly.

"I see." She sighed and rubbed her temples.

I don't know if it's because of a cold from the rain, or hearing and seeing too many unexpected things, which made her brain tingle deep.

She is very regretful because she is too busy working and ignores her daughter's feelings. This is undoubtedly her mother's failure.

She is working hard to create better living conditions for her daughter. At least it will not allow Xiao Celery to lag too far behind her parents' family, but this cannot be used as an excuse to shirk responsibility.

If time goes back, she will definitely communicate more with her daughter, and she will not ignore her daughter's signs of resignation. In fact, she has time to notice these signs, but she always says, "Daughter doesn't say that there is nothing" When there is a reason to deceive herself, after all, she has to work and take care of her family. She is really tired. Sometimes she can't wait to think of nothing, just want to fall down and sleep.

Xiao Xiaocel asked Zhang Zi'an's consent with his eyes, happily ran to the display case, opened the glass cover, carefully pulled out the lop-eared rabbit, and then held it in front of his mother.

"Mom, look ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This is the ear!" She smiled happily.

Today, don't worry about jailbreaking your ears again, because the store doors and windows are all closed.

Today's ears are also very good, probably because I felt the elves' eyes staring at them, and I didn't dare to run away, so I held the celery obediently.

美 Cai Meiwen glanced at this lop-eared rabbit, it was really cute and soft and cute, the girls should all like it, I even see her with pity.

飞 Jiang Feifei, out of kindness, wanted to help break the awkward atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Little celery, if you like it very much, and if your mother agrees with you, I will give you my ears today!"

I wanted to come to Jiang Feifei, and heard the moving narration of Xiao Celery just now, as long as it is not iron hearted, mothers should no longer oppose daughters to keep pets.

Little celery looked at mom expectantly.

Unexpectedly, Cai Meiwen once again refused, "Good intentions, but my family does not have pets, thank you."
