The little doll in front of me looked about two years old at most, stood up no taller than Shen Shian's calf, and looked cute with red lips and white teeth, except for a pair of round eyes with a familiar ferocity—these eyes were black at first glance, and they were far away. When I got closer, I realized that it was actually dark green, because the green was too thick and deep, and it became bottomless black when it was backlit.
Shen Shi'an and him looked at each other for a while, still in disbelief. I couldn't help stretching out my finger and poking his soft face: "...Xiao Hei?"
The little baby bared his teeth and groaned twice, and took Shen Shi'an's fingertips into his mouth in one gulp. He didn't dare to bite hard. He grinded his tiger teeth a few times and spat it out. It took a long time before he let out a reluctant "hmm".
He looked down at his tender lotus-like hands and feet, with a frustrated expression on his face, as if he had sensed Shen Shi'an's gaze, he quickly covered Jiji with his hands, his little face flushed fiercely: "...No... Xu...Look!" The tone was very strong Strangely, the child's milk voice was mixed with a bit of hoarseness, and there was a jerky slowness and ambiguity as if he had just learned to speak when he uttered words.
Shen Shi'an: "... I didn't watch it." Peanuts are so small, what's so interesting about them.
After saying this, he remembered that the other party was still naked. Although the space is as warm as spring, it is still a little cold to be naked, not to mention that the little doll has just come out of the spiritual spring, and the whole body is covered with water droplets, so it will be troublesome if it freezes.
This kind of accident happened suddenly, and the research that he originally planned to do would definitely not be able to continue for the time being, Shen Shi'an simply picked up the little doll, and flashed out of the space with a thought.
The house was very quiet, Yun Feiyang didn't come back, only Ruibao was eating melon seeds in the birdcage on the coffee table, seeing Shen Shi'an flapping his wings happily: "Baby!"
Shen Shi'an didn't have time to tease it, so he casually agreed, walked into the bathroom and took out a bath towel, first dried the little doll from head to toe carefully, then wrapped him up in a thin cashmere blanket and put him on the sofa: "Sit here Don't move, I'll find out if there are any clothes you can wear."
The little baby was wrapped up like a rice dumpling. After watching Shen Shian leave, he twisted and found a more comfortable position. When he looked up, he saw that Ruibao in the cage was staring at him with his head tilted. He immediately bared two rows of small fangs and stared viciously. went back.
Ruibao froze, some unbearable memories came back in an instant, shivering and retreating to the corner and screaming: "Goodbye baby! Goodbye baby! Goodbye! Goodbye!"
Shen Shi'an came out of the master bedroom, and looked at Xiao Hei suspiciously and accusingly: "Are you bullying Ruibao again?"
The little baby opened his eyes wide and felt aggrieved: "...I...no...yes!" Angry and annoyed, she turned her head towards the parrot and let out a ferocious growl similar to that of a beast, jumping at it with hands and feet to bite it.
Ruibao was trembling with fear, and his screams became more and more horrific. The living room was in a state of unrest for a while, Shen Shi'an could only carry the bird cage and send it back to the guest room to isolate it with a door, and then gradually returned to silence.
He took two pieces of clothes and a pair of scissors and sat on the sofa, beckoning to Xiao Hei: "Come here."
The little baby turned her head and snorted very proudly and indifferently.
"If you don't come here, I'll give the clothes to Ruibao." Shen Shi'an said lightly.
The arrogant and indifferent little doll immediately squirmed towards Shen Shi'an's legs like a caterpillar.
There were no clothes suitable for children at home. After searching for a long time, Shen Shi'an could only find a set of autumn clothes that had only been washed once, and a shrunken light gray woolen sweater.
The autumn clothes are very elastic. The trousers are cut directly from the middle of the thigh, and then the waist and trousers are tightened with transparent glue; It just covers the buttocks, and the sleeves are rolled up, which looks very cute. There is nothing I can do about underwear, I can only wait until tomorrow to go out to buy.
After getting dressed, Shen Shi'an stroked his hair, it was a little damp, brought the hair dryer over, and adjusted the medium-range warm air to blow it slowly. The little thing who was vicious just a moment ago is very obedient now, lying on Shen Shi'an's lap, motionless. The child's hair was already soft, but it became more fluffy after drying, and the fluffy hair touched the palm of his hand, reminding Shen Shi'an of the touch on Xiao Hei's body.
After the hair was completely dried, Shen Shi'an put away the hair dryer, sat on the sofa and faced the little baby, and thought about his words: "You are indeed Xiao Hei, right?" There is no other explanation.
The little doll nodded.
"How did you...become a human?"
The little doll shook her head.
"What happened to you in Lingquan?"
The little baby shook her head, blinked her eyes and continued to play innocent.
Shen Shi'an didn't think the other party was pretending to be innocent. To him, the doll in front of him was still a little puppy less than three months ago half an hour ago, even if he suddenly became smart, he is essentially the soul of a little puppy.
What can you expect a puppy to know
The reason why Xiao Hei suddenly became a spirit, in the final analysis, is probably still in the spiritual spring. Could it be said that Lingquan water can not only speed up wound healing, not only improve physical fitness, not only promote the crazy growth of plants, but also turn animals soaked in into humans? It is indeed often written like this in myths and stories. Unconscious spirits accidentally get some kind of heaven and earth spirit treasure, and if they eat it, they can be reborn and transformed into humans. Since the spirit spring water can save him from the dying state, to some extent it is equivalent to reshaping his body, and it is not impossible to turn a dog into a refined form.
So, can any animal become a human being after soaking in a spiritual spring
Shen Shi'an suddenly thought of Ruibao who was separated by a wall.
The idea of "put Ruibao into the spiritual spring to see what changes will happen" was cut off as soon as it came out: If Ruibao also becomes a human, how should he explain to Yun Feiyang
Not to mention Ruibao, it is a difficult problem for this dog spirit to explain.
Shen Shi'an looked at the little baby's dark green eyes and suddenly felt a headache.
After Xiao Hei becomes a human, the biggest advantage is that he doesn't have to walk the dog anymore, but where to sleep has become a problem: he's all grown up, so he can't let him continue to sleep in the kennel. Sleeping Ruibao in the guest room is definitely not possible; it is possible to sleep on the sofa, but there are always suspicions of child abuse.
Before Shen Shi'an could think about how to place him, the little baby had already slid into the quilt of the master bedroom neatly, his eyes were tightly closed, and he obviously didn't intend to move.
Shen Shi'an laughed, went to burn a stick of incense for his mother first, and then got into bed from the other side. As soon as he lay down, a small soft stove came close to him, and the fluffy hair just stuck to his chin, rubbing against his skin with a numb itching. This feeling is very novel, but it is not annoying. On the contrary, because it is obviously needed and depended on, I can't help but feel a little tenderness from the bottom of my heart:
silly dog.
There is always a fresh and pleasant smell on him, and because he has only been scented, the clothes are slightly scented with sandalwood, and Xiao Hei likes it very much, so he puts his nose in his arms and sniffs repeatedly. Shen Shi'an fixed it with his arms: "Don't make trouble, sleep well." He raised his hand and turned off the headlights.
Outside the dim yellow aperture of the small night light, a pair of dark green eyes faintly glowed, staring at Shen Shi'an's side face for a long time, without knowing what he was thinking, he lowered his head and lightly licked his wrist.
Yun Feiyang came back two days later. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a little doll sitting on the sofa, holding a large bowl of black and purple cherries, watching TV while eating.
"Hey," Yun Feiyang put on his slippers, "Whose child does it belong to?"
"Mine." Shen Shi'an put down the "Crop Planting Encyclopedia" in his hand without changing his face, and touched the little black head: "Come, call Dad."
Xiao Hei puffed up his cheeks and didn't speak, but Yun Feiyang was startled: "What? I haven't been home for two days and you even have a baby! With whom and when did you have it? It's true!"
Shen Shi'an said: "Fake."
Yun Feiyang held his hands on his chest and let out a long breath: "I'm just saying, I didn't see you have a date before, it scared me to death, little brother." He came over and looked Xiao Hei up and down several times: "Tsk, this kid looks so good. It’s pretty pretty, and to be honest, whose family is it?”
"I don't know, I picked it up."
Yun Feiyang was stunned for a while before he recovered his voice: "...you're an ass, aren't you?"
"No, I really picked it up."
"... Where did you pick it up, did you call the police?"
Shen Shi'an shook his head: "I'm going to raise it myself." To some extent, Xiao Hei's becoming a human is a good thing for him. After all, the life span of a dog is limited, but the life span of a human is much longer. He is confident that he can raise this child with his own ability.
For a moment, Yun Feiyang almost thought that his brother's mind was a little out of order, but then he thought, did An An get some great stimulation during his absence? Otherwise, a good young man in his prime who has never even been in love, why would he think of raising a child? Raised without knowing whose family's baby is, frantically probing on the verge of child abduction crime, what are you trying to do!
Just wondering how to have a friendly and profound spiritual discussion with Shen Shi'an on this issue, Yun Feiyang suddenly found a question: "Hey, where is Xiao Hei?" As usual, he should have rushed out and yelled at him long ago.
Shen Shi'an looked at Gou Zijing beside him and hesitated for a moment: "... lost."
"lost?"
"Well, I forgot to close the door, and it seems to have run out by itself."
"Did you find it upstairs or downstairs?"
"did not find."
Yun Feiyang was excited because he planned to choose clinical psychology as his research direction in the next semester. He has been reading books on psychoanalysis recently. At this time, he learned and applied it flexibly, and felt that he had found the crux of his brother's abnormality. Although Shen Shi'an never said it explicitly, any idiot can see how much he cares about that dog. Among other things, because Shen Shi'an is a bit of a clean freak, he couldn't even take a step into the master bedroom, but that dog could lie on the bed and rub its hair. This is not true love, but what it is!
After finally convincing himself to have a pet, the pet was lost after giving birth to affection. He must feel uncomfortable at this moment. No wonder he wanted to find a substitute. If he wanted to give up the idea of raising a child, it seemed that he had to forget about Xiao Hei first.
Yun Feiyang secretly planned and calculated, sat next to the little baby, and said to Shen Shi'an as casually as possible: "Throw it away, throw it away, you are so kind to it, you always want to run out after waiting for you all day long, it can be seen that it is a no-brainer." Conscience, it’s good to lose it, let’s raise another Ang later.”
After speaking, he took a big cherry from the glass bowl that the little doll was holding, and before he put it in his mouth, the little doll, who was originally looking cute and cute, suddenly showed a fierce look, bared his teeth and bit him with a "click", If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would probably have blood splattered on the spot immediately.
Yun Feiyang folded his arms and retracted into the sofa, staring at the two rows of small fangs, his face turned pale:
Oh, the damn familiarity.
