The small bowl fell on the ground and turned twice, and the dog food inside spilled all over the floor.
Shen Shi'an's expression turned cold instantly.
He was born good-looking, with a slender mandible, and the lines of his face seemed to have been carefully carved by the most romantic artist, but the most beautiful thing was his eyes:
The pupils are pitch-black, the eyelashes are thick, and the slightly upturned arc at the end of the eyes is just right—if it grows on another person's face, it should always give people the illusion of a smile, and they can't extricate themselves from it, but once the eyes are stained with ice, The cold color, the alluring impact is even stronger, making people unable to bear to look at it, but also afraid to look at it for a long time.
The ferocious Xiao Hei flicked his hind legs subconsciously.
Shen Shi'an stared at it for a full half a minute, then seemed to remember something, his expression eased a little, he squatted down to straighten the small bowl and picked up the dog food one by one: "Luncheon meat is too full to digest, right? Then eat when you're hungry."
After picking up the dog food, he wiped the ground where the dog food fell off twice with a wet paper towel. After washing his hands, he went to the dining table and sat down to eat. Xiao Hei, who had a fierce face, was stunned for a while, then ran after him.
The chair legs are high, the dining table is higher, and the fragrant food is close at hand and far away in the sky.
Shen Shi'an didn't realize what it wanted to do until it thumped around the dining table for the fifth time: "Do you want to eat?"
Xiao Hei immediately yelled at him twice: "Wow, woof." Although his expression was still ferocious, it was obviously not his cry when expressing anger or threats. milk sound.
Shen Shi'an pointed to the small bowl containing dog food in the corner of the living room: "Isn't the rice over there, go eat it."
"Woof!" He seemed a little angry this time.
"You want to eat my meal?"
"Woof~" the little milk's voice became more pronounced.
"No," Shen Shi'an refused straight away: "This is for people to eat. You can't eat it. If you eat it, you will turn into a dead dog."
"Aww!!" suddenly fierce.
Shen Shi'an ignored it and ate his own with a bowl. Xiao Hei was so angry that he grinded his teeth, and started to circle around Shen Shi'an's chair frantically, yelling as he turned, with tones ranging from "嗤嗤" and "呼呵" to "Wow" and "Woo", and there were some who yelled louder and louder. trend.
Shen Shi'an was so annoyed by it before he took a few bites, his pretty eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and he put down the bowl with a "bang": "You haven't finished yet, have you?"
Xiao Hei raised his head and looked at him: "Woof!" The tone was very affirmative.
For the second time, he regretted why he took it home. One person, one dog, one sat on a chair and the other squatted on the floor, and they were relatively silent for a long time.
"Dong Dong". There was a knock on the door, followed by the hesitant voice of the bodyguard Fan Guoping: "Well, Mr. Shen? I just heard a dog barking in your room, and then it suddenly fell silent, the dog ... Cough, are you okay?"
The hesitant tone seemed to be worried that Shen Shi'an thought the dog was too annoying, and became so fierce that he would do something to the dog. In fact, Shen Shi'an's mind was indeed filled with some disharmonious thoughts.
"It's okay." He still stared at Xiao Hei, and responded with a raised voice: "I and the dog are fine, thank you for your concern."
"Cough, that's good, that's good." Fan Guoping outside the door seemed to be relieved, but he didn't leave immediately: "Because stray dogs have suffered outside, they will be more defensive towards people at first, especially those like that. A very small puppy, so small and big, without a mother and being bullied everywhere, isn’t his temper a little bit worse, my daughter adopted a stray dog, it was only over two months old, alas, eating outside It’s been a lot of suffering. When I first brought it home, I didn’t even touch it, and I was wary of people when I ate, but as long as I took care of it patiently and gently, I got close to people soon, and it would follow no matter where I went. Dogs are the most loyal and don’t hold grudges, but they will remember everything you do to them. Isn’t there a saying that dogs are man’s best friend…”
Shen Shi'an listened patiently to Fan Guoping's whole set of remarks about "how precious the friendship between humans and dogs is", and when the sound of the other party's leaving footsteps became farther and farther away, he picked up Xiao Hei by the nape of his neck : "I abused you?"
"Wang~" I felt aggrieved.
Ah. Shen Shi'an sneered, put the dog back on the ground, got up and took a shallow blue plate from the cupboard: "Do you want rice?"
"Wow!" Xiao Hei immediately followed and began to flick his tail.
Shen Shi'an filled a spoonful of rice, and Xiao Hei raised his paw and scratched his trouser leg vigorously, so he added another spoonful.
"Do you want shrimp?"
"Wow! Wow!"
Picking up the dish, I gave it a small half plate of shrimp, "Do you want ribs?"
"Woof! Woah! Woah!"
Shen Shi'an twitched his brows, and took a few more ribs, and poured some soup by the way. The rice with distinct grains and the rich and fragrant gravy were mixed evenly, and the caramel color was attractive under the light, making the dog salivate even more , the little meat pads rubbed back and forth on the floor anxiously.
"Do you want okra?"
This time there was a long silence.
Shen Shi'an looked down at it, the little thing had round eyes and a cute expression, looking very innocent.
"Could it be drinking the spiritual spring water and mutating?" He muttered in his heart, and then put the full plate in his hand next to the dining table: "Eat it, if you eat it to death, you will become a ghost, and the resentment will be hard to dissipate. Lord, remember to ask Fan Guoping, Mr. Fan, do you know?"
How could Xiao Hei still be interested in listening to him, his eyes were fixed on the porcelain plate, and as soon as Shen Shi'an put it down, he rushed over and buried himself in eating.
Shen Shi'an sat back on his chair and continued his dinner, saying "Let it eat and die", but his eyes couldn't help but kept sweeping towards Xiao Hei. Seeing that half of the mountain of food on the porcelain plate was eaten, the little thing still didn't stop, and finally couldn't help but walked over: "Still eating, are you really going to starve yourself to death?"
Seeing Shen Shi'an stretching out his hand to grab the food, Xiao Hei became anxious, and whined at him from the throat while gobbling and eating faster, but his mouth was full of food, and the ferocious whimpering did not sound very deterrent, so he hurried He stuck out his tongue and licked the ribs on the top of the porcelain plate.
Shen Shi'an: "..." What are you doing
Taking advantage of the other party's stunned effort, Xiao Hei quickly licked all the rice and shrimps on the porcelain plate, including the edge of the entire plate, and while licking it, squinted at Shen Shi'an in a demonstrative way, the meaning couldn't be more clear:
mine!
Eating his stuff at his house and claiming ownership to his face
Shen Shi'an laughed angrily, clutching its chin with his backhand, pinching its cheeks that were rounded by the food with his thumb and forefinger, the brilliance in his beautiful eyes, as cold and charming as his voice: "Rice, shrimp, pork ribs, this home Everything, including you, is mine. If you want to live in this family, you have to do what I say, understand?"
A little milk dog with a mouth full of food and its cheeks pinched obviously couldn't answer him.
Shen Shi'an let go of it, and was about to pick up the porcelain plate, but suddenly remembered that the whole plate was covered with its saliva, so he retracted half of his outstretched palm.
Forget it, no matter how stupid you are, you can't force yourself to die, right
"Don't eat if you're full." After thinking about it, Shen Shi'an said to the dog, "I'll make braised pork tomorrow. If you're full, you won't be able to eat it."
Well, it should be fine now.
When Shen Shi'an finished dinner, the food on the porcelain plate was also eaten, and even the plate was licked clean and shiny. After eating food that was half the size of his own body, the dog in question, Xiao Hei, seemed to be fine, jumping around the room alive and kicking.
After cleaning the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, Shen Shi'an took out a shovel from the toolbox, and walked into the space with the bag of tomato seeds and a plastic basin bought in the afternoon.
The space was still as warm as spring, and the air was refreshing with the aroma of vegetation and moist water vapor. Shen Shi'an stood on the spot and took several deep breaths, then walked to the open space beside the stream.
He bought a total of two bags of seeds in the supermarket, one bag of tomatoes and one bag of melons. Considering that he has no experience in growing crops, Shen Shi'an does not plan to plant all of them for the time being, and will try to plant one bag first.
According to the information he found on the Internet, the planting method of tomatoes is very complicated. It is necessary to raise seedlings more than a month in advance, and wait for the seedlings to grow flower buds before pulling out the seedlings and replanting. This method is mainly to ensure that the seedlings have sufficient nutrients during the growth and fruiting period, but the land in the space is the most fertile black soil, and it should have enough nutrients, so Shen Shi'an plans to plant directly, eliminating the need for the procedure of pulling out seedlings and planting them.
It is also said on the Internet that the seeds can be soaked in warm water of about 50 degrees Celsius before sowing, which can improve the survival rate of the seeds and reduce diseases. It happened that the Lingquan water was at about this temperature. Shen Shi'an scooped up a basin with a plastic basin, poured a quarter of a bag of tomato seeds into it, and then placed it beside the open space, while he dug a hole while the seeds were soaking.
The slippers were taken off, the trousers of the home clothes were rolled up to the knees, and the cuffs were rolled up to the elbows. Shen Shi'an first marked out an area of three meters long and three meters wide on the open space, and then dug holes with a space of about ten centimeters between rows and fifteen centimeters between columns. , and the depth of the pit is about five centimeters.
The ground in the space is soft, and even without professional tools, digging it with just a garden shovel is not difficult. After all the neat shallow pits in the thirty-one row and twenty-one rows have been dug, Shen Shi'an brings the plastic basin over, and from From left to right, from top to bottom, put three to four seeds in each shallow pit, cover with soil, and then pour a little spiritual spring water.
After all the planting work was over, Shen Shi'an sat on the bank with his arms behind him, the cool stream gurgling by his feet, and there was a layer of sweat on the tip of his nose.
Maybe it's because of being alone, maybe it's the exhaustion after working that makes people satisfied, or maybe it's because the aroma of plants and trees in the space really makes people unguarded, the cold temperament slowly fades away, revealing the soft inner corner under the thick ice layer .
This is his first time growing vegetables, and he hopes that the seeds will germinate and grow up as soon as possible, and the plants will be healthy and disease-free. I don't know what the taste of the tomato will be. It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good. If it doesn't taste good, feed it to Xiao Hei.
Can Dogs Eat Tomatoes? Should be able to.
After taking a bath in the hot spring to wash off the dirt and dust on his body, and changing into the clean clothes placed in the bamboo building, Shen Shi'an carefully folded the dirty clothes and stepped out of the space.
As soon as he came out, he found that Xiao Hei was fighting with the sweeping robot in the living room.
The sweeping robot is a new model on the market last year. It is shaped like a disc with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters. It usually does its job well. Even when Shen Shi’an was hospitalized, he would go back and forth to suck dust and dust, and it happened to collide with Xiao Hei who was running around.
He was bumped inexplicably, how could Xiao Hei bear this grievance, and immediately slapped the robot with his hair all over his body growling, the silver disc of the robot was shaken, thinking that he had hit an obstacle, he turned around and continued in another direction Sliding, I didn't slide very far and hit the foot of the sofa, so I turned around and slid back.
In Xiao Hei's eyes, it was a naked provocation.
Bared two rows of small fangs that were shining coldly, and slapped him harder. The robot staggered from the beating, and the two indicator lights representing the eyes seemed a little confused. It paused and turned to walk back, hit the sofa and turned back, repeating itself.
When Shen Shi'an came out of the space, Xiao Hei was playing table tennis, "Aww" "Aww", bowed left and right to draw the robot back and forth between itself and the sofa, and turned around when he smelled Shen Shi'an When I was young, I still had a vicious look on my face of "I don't believe I can't deal with you when you are so small".
"Is it fun?" Shen Shi'an asked it.
Xiao Hei retracted his teeth, and before he could utter any tone, the robot slid back after hitting the sofa. It may be that the program flustered after hitting a wall one after another, and the speed was obviously much faster. The top of the disc hit the small The black dog didn't stop after its legs, and directly shoveled it up, put it on the disc and continued to run forward.
Xiao Hei sat on the top of the robot in a position where his buttocks and hind legs were on the ground. The dog's face was obviously blank and stunned.
Shen Shi'an couldn't help but chuckled twice.
Instead of continuing to pay attention to the grievances and entanglements between Xiao Hei and the sweeping robot, he put the shovel and plastic basin back to their original places, and prepared to rest when he saw that it was getting late.
After washing up, Shen Shi'an first went to put a stick of incense on his mother and said good night, and then put the mushroom-shaped dog bed he bought on the side of the sofa: "Xiao Hei, you sleep here at night."
The little thing seemed to have found some novel toy, and it was riding around on the head of the robot at the moment, and I don't know if it heard it or not.
Shen Shi'an didn't care about it, he couldn't lose it at home anyway, checked the door lock, turned off the light, turned and entered the master bedroom.
After about two hours, the night got darker. The half-closed door of the master bedroom was suddenly slowly pushed open from the outside, and a pair of emerald green eyes appeared in the quiet darkness.
Xiao Hei squatted at the door and didn't move immediately. Shen Shi'an breathed lightly and steadily for another ten minutes, making sure that the other party was really asleep, and the sharp cold light on his teeth finally let out a little bit.
Want me to obey a human being, dreaming! Although I don't know where a human being gets the spring of life, as long as he eats him, it will be mine!
There seemed to be a faint sound of swallowing saliva in the darkness: This human being has a strong aura, which must be very nourishing.
The green light in his eyes deepened, his forelimbs pressed down, and his hind limbs gathered strength, like a beast that had been dormant for a long time, it rushed towards Shen Shi'an as quickly as lightning.
Shen Shi'an didn't sleep well, he had a dream.
Not a nightmare, but definitely not a sweet dream either.
In the dream, he was only twelve years old, because he discovered the secret of the Buddha lotus bracelet by chance, the excitement in his heart was unspeakable, and he rushed to the side of the hospital bed immediately, and wanted to take his mother into the space to soak in the spiritual spring.
Dreams are always chaotic and without logic. One second he was still studying in the classroom, and he accidentally cut a hole with his finger, seeing the bright red blood dripping into the Buddha lotus, the next second he suddenly appeared in the hospital ward, holding his mother's hand, excited Can't help myself.
In addition to this bizarre chaos, part of the adult Shen Shi'an's thoughts are still clear and rational. This part of his thoughts is like a separate individual separated from the dream, quietly paying attention to the development of the dream, and clearly knowing why he did this. Dream.
In the car accident more than half a month ago, after he found out that he was saved by Buddhist beads, the first thought that popped into his mind was not the joy of escape, but a strong sense of anger and powerlessness—
Why didn't he find out sooner? Why didn't his blood melt into the beads earlier? If he could have discovered the hidden space in the Buddha beads earlier, and found the spiritual spring in the space earlier, his mother would not have passed away at all!
Ms. Shen has been in poor health since she was a child, suffering from congenital heart disease. After accidentally becoming pregnant with Shen Shi'an, she did not follow the doctor's advice to terminate the pregnancy process, but risked her life to give birth to him. Since then, her body has become weaker and her health has deteriorated.
Grandma and grandpa have tried everything to heal their daughter, praying to God, praying to Buddha, chanting scriptures and vegetarianism, western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and even rural folk remedies. Nutritious flowers, step by step towards withering and death.
No one thought that the most effective and convenient method was always by his side, hidden in the prayer beads on Shen Shi'an's wrist.
The thought that "my own negligence caused my mother to lose the possibility of being healthy' and living" can drive anyone crazy.
The sober and rational thoughts belonging to the adult Shen Shi'an floated above the dream, still silent. Not only did he know why he had this dream, but he also knew how the dream would develop. Because this is not the first time he has had this dream.
The 12-year-old himself was lying on the side of the hospital bed and holding his mother's hand, trying to bring his mother into the space over and over again, but no matter how many times he tried, when his figure disappeared in place, the pale and thin mother would always be haunted. stay on the spot.
Shen Shi'an's physical development is later than that of ordinary boys. At the age of twelve, he is not tall, and his face is full of childishness. Because of his fair skin, he looks much thinner than his peers.
The grown-up Shen Shi'an watched his twelve-year-old self try again and again, seeing that childish face, the original excitement and agitation peeled off little by little, the eye sockets became more and more red, the lips became tighter and tighter, and finally fell into a complete depression. in pain and despair.
The pain and despair were so strong that the originally clear and rational thoughts were affected. The sleeping body became tighter and tighter, breathing became more and more urgent, and even faintly let out a cry similar to that of a cub who lost its mother—
Until a muffled "bang" woke Shen Shi'an from his dream.
He opened his eyes, raised his hand and slapped two hands, and the voice-activated light turned on, illuminating the bedroom brightly. The door of the room opened wide at some unknown time, and through the light from the bedroom, there seemed to be a small group of black shadows crouching beside the sofa in the living room far away.
"...Xiao Hei?" Shen Shi'an called out, his voice a little hoarse.
The shadow seemed to tremble.
Shen Shi'an wiped off the water stains from the corners of his eyes, lifted the quilt and put on slippers, walked out of the bedroom and turned on the light in the corridor. This time the light source was closer to the living room, and the scene beside the sofa was immediately clear:
Xiao Hei lay in a ball next to the foot of the sofa, his body trembling constantly:
Mis-miscalculation, I didn't expect this human to have a defensive magic weapon, ah, it hurts
Shen Shi'an also turned on the light in the living room, walked over and squatted in front of Xiao Hei, only to find that it was not only trembling all over, but the corners of its eyes were still glistening with tears, and the hair around the eyes was wet, which was obviously the sign of crying—
This is, afraid of the dark
It looked fierce, but I didn't expect it to be so cowardly.
Seeing that the little thing was shaking more and more violently, I thought carefully for a moment and picked it up, "Okay, or you can sleep with me tonight." Anyway, I just bathed it, so it shouldn't be dirty.
Turning off the lights in the living room and corridor, Shen Shi'an carried the dog back to the bedroom, turned on a small night light by the bed, put the dog next to the pillow, and lay down next to it.
"Sleep," he slapped his hands twice again, the voice-activated light went off, and he put his hand beside the puppy: "I'm here."
Xiao Hei recovered quite a bit from the pain, bit his finger as if venting, and didn't dare to bite too hard—it was afraid of disturbing the defensive magic weapon and being thrown out again, so it grinded back and forth with the two rows of small teeth between its canine teeth.
Sure enough, it's a little milk dog, and it's still acting like a baby. The corners of Shen Shi'an's lips curled up, and he raised his hand to rub the dog's head.
Under the soft light of the night light, Xiao Hei secretly wiped away his tears on the pillow towel, then licked his wrist a few times, feeling ruthless in his heart:
You wait, sooner or later I will eat you!
