Today is a good day, the days of rainy days are finally over, and the sun came out early in the morning. I walked out of the dormitory with my bag on my back and had to squint to see around.
"Gu Yu!"
A voice suddenly came from behind, I looked back, and I don't know when Su Xiaoyun chased me from behind. She was wearing a small white dress today, with long fluttering hair, holding the books she will use in class today, panting.
"Why are you walking so fast? I almost missed you when I ran."
I immediately smiled in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I didn't notice you."
"You." Su Xiaoyun rolled her eyes, as if an adult doesn't remember the villain's mistakes, "Forget it, anyway, you are always so stupid."
"What? I'm wronged."
"Which classroom is this class?"
"Uh... I forgot."
"Still saying I'm not stupid!"
Just when we were about to walk to the front of the teaching building, a voice suddenly came from far and near.
"Su-female-God-you wait for me!"
I was startled, and hurried to the side to hide. The person rushing over almost missed the brakes, staggered several times before barely stopping.
That's right, this reckless guy is my childhood friend, Shi Yitong. But at this moment I had absolutely no desire to admit that I knew him.
"Which corner did you come from? It's scary!" I complained, "And you don't seem to have class this morning?"
Shi Yitong chuckled, "There are no classes, so why don't I come out and take a class or two in the Chinese department, so as to cultivate my sentiments and cultivate a long-lost literary atmosphere."
Train you a big head ghost. Isn't it just to spend a little longer with your goddess Su Xiaoyun? Don't know your little thoughts yet
But Su Xiaoyun, the protagonist of the topic, smiled as if he didn't notice it at all, "That's right, the classes in the Chinese department are quite interesting. I heard that some teachers have doctorates."
"Does our school really have teachers with doctoral degrees? I doubt it." I couldn't help complaining.
"Yes? Our college dean is." Shi Yitong interjected.
"That's because it's the head of the school."
The three of us just chatted one after another and walked towards the teaching building. It has been a week since Shi Yitong's grandfather passed away, and he has gradually recovered from his grief, or in other words, he was a sunny person, and it didn't take long for him to return to his usual heartless self. state.
Freshman courses are not too difficult. Today is Friday, and I can rest after the morning class. But my mood did not get better because of this, on the contrary, I became more worried.
To say why...
"Gu Yu, hey." Shi Yitong shook his hand several times in front of my eyes.
"Ah?" I just came back to my senses, "What's wrong?"
"I've called you so many times, what's wrong with you, have you lost your mind again?" Shi Yitong frowned.
"Sorry." I scratched my head, "What did you just say?"
"I said, there will be no class in the afternoon. Shall we go to the city to play?" Shi Yitong bumped me with his elbow, "Go sing and call Su Xiaoyun, how about it? Are you going?"
"You just want to play with Su Xiaoyun." I replied, "Then you two just go out and don't involve me."
"How can it be, you know her better."
"It's not good or bad."
Shi Yitong said with some dissatisfaction, "What's the matter with going out to play? You haven't gone out to play much since school started, right? Isn't it good to go out once in a while?"
I put down the pen in my hand and said helplessly, "No, it's because... I might have to go somewhere else."
"Anywhere else? This afternoon?" Shi Yitong was a little surprised.
I nodded.
"Where are you going? Could it be—"
I nodded helplessly again, "That's right, it's exactly what you think."
That's right. It has been a week since I last saw Mr. Wen Jiubowen. Although it was semi-forced, I did agree at the time. However, I haven't been to the old house in Houshan for a whole week.
"No way, Gu Yu." Shi Yitong lowered his voice, "Are you really going to do odd jobs for that magic stick?"
"I can't help it, I promised him." I comforted Shi Yitong, "Besides, he probably won't let me do any heavy work, just treat it as a fun."
"That being said, I always can't like that guy." Shi Yitong muttered, "It always gives people a hairy feeling."
"I'm not here, are you going out with your goddess Su?" I joked.
"I, I won't go out with her alone!" Shi Yitong blushed.
"You'll never catch up with her like this, okay?"
After class, the three of us prepared to part ways at the entrance of the teaching building. Shi Yitong looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, while Su Xiaoyun hugged Gulu who was rubbing against her thigh and greeted me.
"I'm going to buy some cat food for Gulu this afternoon, how about you?" Su Xiaoyun said, rubbing Gulu's ears.
"Go back to the dormitory to write a thesis." Shi Yitong said listlessly.
"Ah, I'm going to the mountain behind the school." I said.
"That's it." Su Xiaoyun smiled at me, "Then let's separate here. You have to be careful."
I nodded and waved goodbye to both of them.
Now that it has entered mid-September, the weather should have been cooler by now, but the autumn tigers in Yancheng have come and gone, especially at noon, when the scorching sun can almost burn people to death.
If I had known earlier, I would have come out a little later. I stretched out my hand to barely cover the glare of the sun, and walked along the familiar road.
—I'm so thirsty.
—It’s so hot.
I stopped abruptly. Just now, was there any sound? I stood there and listened carefully, but nothing came.
I heard it wrong... Thinking of this, I took another step. But at this moment, the voice came again.
—I really want to drink water...
This time it was definitely not my illusion. I stopped again and looked around. But there was no one around except for the hurried passers-by.
But I did hear voices, could it be... I looked down at my feet and was taken aback. Curled up in the grass at my feet was a white creature, half dead, exposed to the sun.
I quickly squatted down to check. What is this... It looks like a white weasel. This animal seems to be called a ferret or a ferret. It seems to be quite precious. How could it be in such a place? Could it be that the sound just now came from it
