Suddenly discovering something that has been entangled in the past and unable to let go, in fact, when other people don't care at all, the feeling of relief and loss is really sour.
Lu Qiu is like this now.
Being watched by two pairs of big eyes, she swallowed and could only say sorry to Modes in her heart, then turned around and grabbed Wells.
"I think it's fine now, I don't have any ideas, I like whatever Wells does."
Modes: "..."
Modes felt that she had been dealt a fatal blow, and she cried out in disbelief: "Qiuqiu, wake up!"
Lu Qiu blinked innocently: "I'm very awake now."
Wells mumbled proudly and excitedly for a while, and kept making inexplicable meows in his mouth.
Lu Qiu was so cute that he kept looking back at him, and found that the giant cat's eyes were amazingly bright, and the amber pupils became clearer and clearer, as beautiful as a gem, shining in the setting sun.
"Qiuqiu."
"Um?"
"Let's go back."
As he said that, he carried her and flew away.
Modes stomped her feet, but didn't follow up this time, always feeling that it was superfluous to stand beside them.
It was too late anyway, so she took two bodyguards to the snack market around the venue and decided to open her stomach and eat a big meal to compensate herself.
Wells flew very fast, and they returned to the hotel not long after.
Lu Qiu could feel that Wells was very excited.
He didn't even take the elevator, but flew directly to the top-floor room.
Ruth was still not there, and the room was quiet.
When Wells arrived in the bedroom, he jumped into the cat litter. Lu Qiu was laid flat on the soft cushion of the cat litter. She looked up at the giant cat who was staring down at her, and suddenly became nervous.
What's the situation now? No, it doesn't work!
Not to mention reproductive isolation, nothing else!
The giant cat quickly pressed down, Lu Qiu tore his clothes nervously, and then ushered in a suffocating hug.
The imagined dissonance did not occur.
The giant cat just put all his strength on her, like a kitten coquettish with a mother cat, kept rubbing her big head on the back of her arms, and kept whispering in her mouth, looking very excited. Excited again.
Lu Qiu felt like she was sitting in a carriage with no shock absorption measures, but the road conditions were very poor, and the carriage was bumping so badly that she was dizzy and couldn't see what the ceiling looked like.
Compared with the size of the giant cat, it was too big, and it almost fell out of the cat's nest by being rubbed by the cat's head.
Fortunately, Wells reached out in time to hook her clothes and pulled her back.
After being excited for a long time, Wells's joy finally passed, and when he was done acting like a spoiled child, he just lay lazily in the cat's nest, raising Lu Qiu's fingers to look at the ring on it.
Lu Qiu brushed away the tangled hair on his face, and looked at the ring with him.
She suddenly wondered, when Wells gave out the ring, did he know what it meant
"Do you know the meaning of the ring?"
Wells answered nonchalantly: "You accept it."
"Um?"
"You can't go back if you accept it."
It means not only knowing, but knowing very well.
It's quite scheming. When I gave it, it clearly said that I wanted to give it to the orangutan because I thought it looked good. Is it because I was afraid that she would not accept it
"So you already knew that?"
The furry cat's claws covered her hands, the flesh pads pressed gently on the back of her hands, the short claws opened and closed, and the nails were looming. Wells asked again: "You don't like it?"
"No, I just think it's amazing."
Because there are not many animals with slender fingers like humans who are suitable for wearing rings, rings should not be mainstream. After all, there are many hoofed families, even snakes without legs, which are not suitable for this thing at all.
Rings shouldn't have any special meaning in this world, and there shouldn't even be such a thing as a ring.
"What magic?" Wells asked in confusion.
"Is it an imperial tradition to give your favorite animal rings? Where do you all wear the rings when you get them?" she asked curiously.
Wells hummed affirmatively: "It's a tradition, it's always been there, you can wear it anywhere. It depends on what kind of animal it is. For example, cattle and sheep can wear it on the ears, or on the tail. Or wear it on the nose like a pig. It can also be worn in a ring and hung around the neck, which is a bit more difficult for snakes, but they will wear one in the mouth, but they will always accidentally swallow it, so they will wear a smaller ring to the tail."
The more Lu Qiu listened, the more wrong it became. Could it be that these animals call earrings, nose rings, and tail rings all rings
And what the hell is a snake wearing a ring in its mouth? ? It's too weird.
She was speechless for a while, feeling completely incomprehensible.
"What about the bird?"
Wells said rightfully, "On your feet."
Lu Qiu imagined the scene. After the two birds looked at each other, the male bird lifted the female bird's legs and put on an anklet. Why do I inexplicably think of the feeling that humans put a ring on a bird's foot to prevent loss
"What about... the cat?"
"It's all right, all ears and necks are fine."
Lu Qiu was surprised: "Do you know where this tradition came from? Are there any legends or allusions?"
Wells pondered for a while, and silently opened the terminal to search: "It has been handed down since ancient times, for thousands of years. I don't know who it came from, but it has always been there."
This is very strange, Lu Qiu always feels that something is not right.
Originally, she had to wonder if someone else had passed through it.
But it has been thousands of years, even if there are fellow villagers, there are not even bones left.
Sigh silently.
When she first wore it, she wished she could die and wear it back. Now that she has a stable life and a cat she likes, Lu Qiu recalls the past less and less. She is afraid that one day she will completely forget everything in her previous life.
"Do you mind that we are different races?"
Wells shook his head: "Imperial laws protect interracial marriages, this is not a problem."
No wonder Modes was not surprised at all, it turned out to be the case, which was good.
Blinking, remembering something, Lu Qiu asked in a low voice, "Then, is same-sex marriage also allowed?"
Remember that many animals, such as giraffes, such as male lions, have a very high same-sex ratio.
There are also many animals that can be hermaphrodites, or even parthenogenetic, without the need for the other half. I don't know what the law says.
"Same." Wells said.
Sure enough, animals are much more open and receptive than humans.
It may also be because of the diversity and complexity of species that the current social law and order is created.
After being ignored for a long time in the afternoon, Wells just held Lu Qiu in the nest and dragged her to talk that night, making up for all the time occupied in the afternoon.
The dinner was brought by the hotel. Maybe it was because he was in a good mood. I just thought that today's dinner was also very delicious. Lu Qiu even ate half a bowl of rice.
After dinner, Wells took Lu Qiu to the rooftop of the hotel.
The roof is very big and very lively, and there are many bare branches standing up against the wall. At this time, many birds were standing on the branches, taking a nap or talking, like a party.
On the other side, a lot of wolves gathered. These wolves were of different shapes and colors, and they didn't look like a group.
When Wells brought Lu Qiu up, he heard a wolf introducing himself to another wolf. Like a blind date. This is indeed the scene of the wolf clan blind date.
When Lu Qiu looked at the wolf, he thought of the day when he was captured when he first came to this world, the wolf didn't eat her and ran away with her.
That's why she saw Wells for the first time and was picked up by him.
She doesn't quite understand what happened at the time.
"Do you remember the first time you saw me? How did you get there, what happened, was the wounded wolf dead? And what happened to the animals that were chasing him? "
Wells recalled: "Well, dead. He is a pet hunter named Pickle, who specializes in catching some animals in the forest to make pets and sell them to the auction house. Originally, I was going to buy pets at the auction house, but he Your information has come, but the delivery has been delayed. I can't wait, so I went to the forest to have a look. The jackal that was chasing him was called Bout, and Pickle had caught a jackal cub for auction. It's gone, they have a grudge."
Fortunately, he wanted to buy a new pet on a whim, and fortunately, he personally went to the Falling Star Forest at that time.
Lu Qiu didn't expect that he was about to be sold as a pet in the auction house. No wonder Wells had a strange attitude towards her at the beginning. It turned out that he kept her as a pet.
People used to treat cats as pets, but now cats treat people as pets. Thinking about it, it's a bit funny.
She is also afraid now, but fortunately Wells appeared, otherwise she would not have been sent to the auction house, and she would have been eaten by other animals.
"So you came here specifically to find me?"
"Yes. You're covered in that wolf's saliva, and I almost wanted to throw you away." Wells couldn't help but hug Lu Qiu tighter, but luckily he wasn't so impulsive.
Lu Qiu couldn't help laughing when he remembered the scene at that time.
She used to feel miserable and unlucky. She thought that she might die in the next second, but now she can think of it as a joy.
"You threw me into the river, I thought you wanted to drown me, but I caught a cold."
Wells apologized apologetically: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you didn't heal me soon. I'm very grateful for your presence at that time. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be alive today."
Wells had the urge to ask something.
As of today, it has been a long time, and her origins have not been found.
As long as an animal exists, it is impossible to find any source, even if it is born in the deep mountains, there are traces to follow.
But Lu Qiu's history is full of mystery.
"you… "
He was about to ask, when the blind date was over, and the gray wolf, who had not found a match, lay on the edge of the balcony and howled at the moon.
One wolf raised its head and the others howled.
The voice spread far into the distance, and wolves in the mountains also responded one after another.
Lu Qiu covered his ears, it was too noisy.
Wells frowned, gave up asking, didn't stay here too much, and took her back to the house.
You can't give up studying even when you go out to play. Unfortunately, just after learning two words, Lu Qiu quickly fell asleep with his eyes closed in the arms of the giant cat.
In order to have the energy to go out to watch the game tomorrow, Wells also lay down.
It is inconvenient to sleep with the chain on the body, and the chain is taken off before going to bed.
Wells was still a little uneasy before going to bed, and kept holding Lu Qiu tightly in his arms. There was constant noise outside, and the sound insulation of the room was very good, but his ears were sharp, and he could still hear some movement vaguely.
The howling of the wolf made the animals in the vicinity boil, and it was like a big party was held around at night, and it was always noisy.
Wells didn't sleep soundly, and every now and then he woke up and looked around.
He always felt uneasy, just an intuition, an intuition that danger was approaching.
The animals sent to guard caught two birds to monitor them during the day, and Ruth was interrogating them, but these mouths were very tight, and they refused to open their mouths no matter what they did, and so far they have not spit out the message of the main messenger.
Wells can guess who sent it, he just doesn't know what Oliver's purpose is.
If it came at him, he would not be afraid at all, but those animals were also monitoring Lu Qiu at the same time, and now Lu Qiu was his weakness. If something happened to Lu Qiu, he didn't know what he would do.
It was just this timing that he couldn't directly question what Oliver wanted to do.
He didn't put his support for the eldest prince on the bright side. He had previously entrusted other methods to hand over things to the eldest prince. Felix did not allow him to interfere too much.
Waking up again in a daze, he sent Ruth a message: "What did you ask?"
Ruth responded quickly: "No, they tried to commit suicide, which has been stopped, but is now seriously injured and is being treated."
Wells frowned and closed the terminal, looked at Lu Qiu's sleeping face, and yawned.
He lay back on his back and fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.
This night Lu Qiu had a dream in a trance, not the vague dream like the previous two days, but a clear and real one.
Like it really happened. .
She dreamed that she was back on Earth again.
No megafauna and no Wells.
It was the cliff that let her fall.
She was lying in the grass with a bag on her back, and the rescue team carried her onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.
The sound of the ambulance clattered constantly above her head, and there was a sharp pain in her leg. The ambulance staff told her while bandaging that one of her legs was broken and she needed to rest for a few days.
Lu Qiu felt that something was not right. Her hand subconsciously touched her side, but she grabbed it and didn't touch anything.
"Wei, what is Wei?" A name was on his lips, but he couldn't remember what it was called.
The nurse leaned on her ear and asked, "What did you say? Why? Why did you fall? The guardrail where you are standing is in disrepair. , I'm very lucky, I'll take care of it for a while."
Lu Qiu shook her head, this was not what she wanted to ask.
Not quite right, she shouldn't be here.
The roof shouldn't be so low, and the car shouldn't be so narrow.
Where is the person waiting for her, there should be someone waiting for her.
But who? Can't remember.
There was a voice deep in her heart that wanted her to wake up, but she felt that everything in front of her should be real, a place she knew and missed.
Looking blankly at the roof of the car, she was quickly pulled into the hospital with lights staggered overhead
Lu Qiu looked at all kinds of people around her. She should have felt familiar, but she felt unfamiliar, as if she hadn't seen other human beings in a long time.
"What time is it? What day is it today?" she asked the nurse.
"Monday, ten in the morning."
The day we climbed the mountain was a weekend, and it was only one night on Monday today.
Lu Qiu was lying down. She didn't know when her legs would heal. Time seemed to pass by suddenly, and she didn't feel anything was wrong. She heard the nurse say that she could be discharged from the hospital.
She carried the bag she had when climbing the mountain, and was discharged from the hospital with a mobile phone in her hand. She was standing at the door of the hospital, unable to remember where to go.
When I was at a loss, I heard a voice speak in my ear: "Go forward, there is a place you want to go ahead."
Lu Qiu followed the direction of the voice and walked forward step by step.
"Are you there?" she thought, why hasn't she arrived yet, and why hasn't the person who picked her up appeared yet
"It's almost there, just walk two steps forward." The strange voice continued in his ears.
No, he shouldn't have left himself alone for so long without appearing.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiu suddenly woke up.
"Wells!"
Yes, the name that I haven't thought of after thinking about it for a long time is Wells.
The body touched his side faster than the brain reacted, it was empty, there was nothing, and she was not by Wells's side now.
This is not a hotel room.
How could it be, she was still sleeping in Wells' arms before closing her eyes.
Why is she here, where is this? Is she sleepwalking
Lu Qiu didn't know when he had the habit of sleepwalking.
She was still in the building, but it was a place she had never seen before. It was dark, there were no lights, and she couldn't see anywhere else, except for an unlocked door in front of her.
I don't know if this is still in a dream, she pinched her thigh hard.
It hurts a lot, it's not a dream, she's awake now, she really came out without knowing it.
Lu Qiu didn't open the door hastily, it was a little cold, she couldn't help shivering, and immediately opened the terminal to contact Wells.
At this time she couldn't wait to go back to Wells.
But before the terminal was opened, she was pushed forward by a strong force, and then the unlocked door suddenly opened.
The wind was blowing.
Lu Qiu was falling.
There is nothing outside the door, it is empty, she is more than 100 meters away from the ground at this moment, and everything on the ground is so small.
Lu Qiu was still stunned, and even suspected that everything she was facing was unreal. She was still dreaming, maybe she would wake up after falling into a dream.
But just as the thought turned around, a pair of sharp claws grabbed her clothes from behind and pulled her up.
She turned her head hard to look, and saw a pair of eagle-like claws gripping her tightly.
Holding her is a peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon does not fly very fast, but its diving speed is the highest among birds, and the speed can reach more than 300 kilometers per hour.
The wind was blowing violently from all directions, making Lu Qiu unable to open his eyes and his clothes rattling.
kidnapped!
This was the first thought that popped into Lu Qiu's mind.
Holding back the huge panic and fear in her heart, she tried her best to raise her wrist to open the terminal to continue contacting Wells.
But to her surprise, when the terminal was opened, it was blank, floating in front of her like a piece of glass.
Aware of her movement, the peregrine falcon's eyes sternly let go of his claws, and Lu Qiu fell again, and after a few minutes of falling, the peregrine falcon rushed over again and grabbed her back again. As if for punishment.
Lu Qiu hugged him hard, what should I do, how should I save myself in this situation? Where is Wells? Where are you now
I don't know how long it flew, and there was no light at all below, and the peregrine falcon finally stopped.
At this time, another eagle took over the action of the peregrine falcon. When he saw Lu Qiu, he took out a huge bottle and sprayed wildly at her and the peregrine falcon. There was a kind of gas in the bottle, and the smell was very foul. It stinks to the point of making you want to vomit.
The peregrine falcon rubbed its claws unbearably.
And Lu Qiu was sprayed from start to finish, not even his toes left.
She lay on the ground and retched, and before she vomited, she was carried and flew up again.
After flying again for a while, the giant eagle passed through an unfamiliar town and stopped beside an aircraft outside the city.
The appearance of the aircraft is ordinary, it is the kind that often travels to and from the spaceport, the space inside is not large, and there are many animals sitting. They were just like ordinary passengers, doing their normal business and waiting to go to the port.
When Lu Qiu was pushed in, those passengers didn't even look up, as if they didn't exist, completely indifferent.
Lu Qiu was a little desperate. Are these all the accomplices of the animals who captured her
Why, she came here to come into contact with only a few animals, it is impossible to offend anyone, and it is absolutely impossible to have any enemies.
Then the biggest possibility is Wells. They are here for Wells, and her closeness to Wells is not too covert. The animals wanted to use her to threaten Wells.
Although she was still worried, Lu Qiu at least knew that she was safe and would not be torn apart. She still had value.
I am afraid that these animals are beast dealers.
She believed that as long as Wells knew that she was missing, he would come to rescue her as soon as possible.
After being brought into the aircraft, Lu Qiu was not pressed into the seat, but was carried and thrown into a room at the back.
At this time, her mouth was sealed, and her hands were pinned behind her, unable to move.
Carrying her eagle, he said to the room, "Xiaofan, change her clothes and look, and pretend not to be recognized."
"Understood, look at me." The animal inside responded.
Lu Qiu was still on a pile of soft objects, she looked up desperately, and saw a somewhat familiar figure.
It turned out to be the pink mini-pig who had only met once and was still talking very much at the time.
The Mini Pig was stunned when he saw her.
"How could it be you?"
Inside the hotel at this time.
The giant cat that was sleeping suddenly woke up from the dream with a jolt.
He found out that Lu Qiu was missing almost immediately.
Nose sniffed in the room, no, not in the bathroom, not in the kitchen, nor in the outside room.
The hair on Wells' entire body exploded almost instantly.
How could he not be there, why didn't he notice it, how could he not notice it!
There were no traces left by other animals in the house. Did Lu Qiu take the initiative to go out
It was impossible for him not to be alert when Lu Qiu got up with such a big movement, but he has been sleeping soundly until now.
The smell and water in the house were normal, he was sure. It was dinner, and there was a problem with dinner.
Wells blew out the door like a gust of wind, and there was still a faint smell outside the door, which was left by Lu Qiu.
He quickly flew out while sending a message to Ruth.
The smell is still strong, you can smell it, you can smell it.
Without going very far, the smell stopped in front of the door at the end of a promenade on the next floor.
The breath of other animals appeared here, he kicked the door with one paw, and the wind was whistling outside the door.
Wells couldn't help roaring loudly and disappeared by the door in an instant.
At this moment, he almost lost all his reason, his eyes were blood red, and his body was full of raging and violent aura.
If something happens to Lu Qiu, even if he dies, he will drag Oliver and all the animals to be buried with him!
