Chapter 5
Before going home, Mu Wan and Lin Wei went to the pet store first. She was raising a cat for the first time and didn't know anything. The clerk enthusiastically recommended it. Mu Wan accepted it all and bought two large boxes.
After the things were loaded, Lin Wei took the clerk to load the things into the car, locked the door and came over, and Mu Wan was checking out.
Lin Wei laid her arms on the cashier, watched Mu Wan swipe the card, and sighed: "You are not married yet, so you will be a mother."
The cashier was a little girl. After hearing her words, she laughed and said, "What's the matter? Everyone in our store has a cat."
"I like it so much?" Lin Wei asked.
"Yes." The little girl smiled, her eyes were bright, as if she remembered something. "Your cat is still young now. When you grow up, when you come out, they will squat at the door waiting for you when they open the door, and they will meow and welcome you home. And with pets, they will no longer be alone."
"It's still early for my three to grow up." Mu Wan said, thinking about the scene where the three cats squat at the door and waited for her in their hearts. They couldn't empathize. She hadn't felt like she had been waiting for a long time, and she was still stunning in her first time raising a cat.
"The cats grow very fast," said the clerk. "It can run around in less than two months."
After taking the bill, Mu Wan took it, thanked him with a smile, and got into the car with Lin Wei.
After Mu Wan was sent home by Lin Wei, Lin Wei was called away by her colleagues in the studio. Mu Wan put the kitten on the sofa, took out the two boxes of things, took out the cat's nest, made goat milk powder, and arranged the kitten, and then went into the bathroom.
I haven't come back for two days, and the bathroom is in a mess.
The water stains mixed with blood on the ground were already dry, floating dryly on the floor, and she lived alone. Even if she was taken to the hospital by an ambulance and healed from the injury, she would still have to clean up the chaos at home by herself after she came back.
Mu Wan turned on the faucet and first washed the ground with water. The water in the faucet had a long and strong impact, hitting the ground with a sound of snapping.
In such a loud sound, Mu Wan heard a soft cat moan. Almost instantly, she twisted the faucet on. There were still water drops that had not dripped in the faucet, and it hit the ground, almost silently.
"Meow~" Now, Mu Wan heard it very clearly.
She felt like she had been overturned by water and hurried out of the bathroom.
She put the kitten in the bedroom, right in the corner of the end of her bed. The kitten was very small, and she bought the smallest cat nest. Three small plush balls were inside, still as big as the universe, they were like three small stars, flashing inside.
Before the little guys opened their eyes, they heard the sound of footsteps, closed their eyes and raised their heads, and the pink and tender cubes were pressing against me and I was climbing up, as if they were looking for something.
Mu Wan took the bottle of goat milk powder and went over it. The little guy who had just eaten his fill started sucking it with his pacifier in his mouth.
Will you eat too much?
Mu Wan took the pacifier aside.
The three little guys meowed and rushed to climb up one after another, ten thousand unhappy.
Mu Wan quickly put the pacifier over again.
After a while, Mu Wan was in a hurry. At first, he still squatted, but then he simply sat on the floor. The floor was cold, but Mu Wan was sweating all over.
The three cats have the same fetus, but they are completely different. One orange, one orange-white mixed color, and the other black-white mixed color. The orange-colored head is very big and looks stronger, and it should be the boss. The orange-white mixed colored one has white face and body, with only two orange spots on the spine and tail. The black-white mixed colored one has black mixed on the head, separated from the forehead, and all the way down, as if it was combed with a middle part.
Mu Wan ordered the three kittens and named them, including the boss, the second and the second and the third.
After deciding his name, Mu Wan put away the bottle. The three kittens were full, their belly was round, and they lay in the cat's nest and raised their heads to meow. Mu Wan put his hand in the cat's nest. The three little guys sniffed her first, then slowly leaned their heads on her hand and fell asleep.
The hand was placed in the cat's nest, which was very soft, and the three small heads pressed on it were very warm.
The light outside the window was getting brighter and the sky was clear. Something was growing quietly in my heart. Mu Wan looked down at the three cats. Regarding the scene of the three kittens waiting for her as the clerk of the pet store, he suddenly felt a sense of picture in his mind.
She is really like them. She has no father when she was born, and after her mother passed away, she is alone.
"But you are much luckier than me." Mu Wan's fingers moved slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, "I have nothing, but you have brothers and sisters, and I, the stepmother."
After saying that, Mu Wan laughed first.
When Liu Qianxiu went to work on Monday, as soon as he arrived at the office, the young nurse said to him: "Doctor Liu, the three flower you often feed you died a few days ago."
With his hand holding the pen, Liu Qianxiu looked up and asked, "How did he die?"
"I was hit by a car and died." The young nurse sighed and said, "I heard from the head nurse that Sanhua also said that Sanhua had a litter of kittens. She was going to take them home to find a friend to adopt when she got off work, but when she came to see them after get off work, there was no more."
After saying that, the young nurse was a little worried and said, "Did someone take it away? A newborn kitten is not easy to feed. It would be fine if it is adopted. I have read the news that many perverts specifically seek kitten abuse..."
After closing the medical record, Liu Qianxiu's expression did not change much and said, "Prepare for the operation first."
The little nurse who was immersed in worries came back to her senses, said "Oh" and hurriedly followed. She thought that Liu Qianxiu often went to feed Sanhua and should have a good relationship with Sanhua. But since she said that Sanhua was hit and killed, Dr. Liu's expression did not change much.
She knew that Dr. Liu's nickname was Taoist Master Liu. Judging from this matter alone, he really had a sense of Taoist Master's elegance and meaninglessness.
After get off work at noon, Liu Qianxiu went to the hospital's security room and retrieved the surveillance records from the previous two days. Few people came over beside the bushes at the entrance of the hospital, and many cars were parked.
Monitor fast forward. When someone appeared, Liu Qianxiu clicked the mouse and stopped fast forwarding.
The woman in the video has a slender figure and a smooth and smooth body. She stood in front of the bushes, bent down and leaned over. When she got up, there was a bunch of hairy balls in her arms.
She stood there, holding the kitten in her arms a little clumsyly, and was talking to another woman. After that, she looked up at the direction of the camera and walked out of the picture.
The surveillance screen switches, the light and shadow are clear, and the man's facial features are deep and distant. His eyes are placed on the picture frozen after the video is backward, and the light is reflected in his eyes, and he is still as quiet as a deep pool.
"What is she holding in her arms? Is the kitten?" The security guard next to him looked at the picture and was addicted to the woman's appearance in the picture. But because Liu Qianxiu was here, the topic turned to the kitten. "Strait cat, this lady is quite caring, but the cat is too small and doesn't know whether to raise a job."
Liu Qianxiu stood up, thanked the security guard, opened the door and walked out.
When Mu Wan received the call from Liu Qianxiu, he had just been put down from the wire. After the rain stopped for several days, the air was filled with steam evaporated by the sun, which was damp and hot. Mu Wan stood in the shade in front of the city wall, wearing a men's ancient costume, and her whole face was red with hot.
"Hey." As Mu Wan spoke, her forehead was itchy. She scratched her, and sweat flowed down her fingertips.
"I am Liu Qianxiu." The man's voice was still very heavy, like the spring water on the mountain, making a cool sound.
This is a bit strange.
Today is Monday, and the young nurse said he was back to the hospital on Monday. Mu Wan remembered that when she was discharged from the hospital, she told Lin Wei that she would treat him to a meal when she came back, but she forgot about it as soon as she filmed.
"You are back. I'm sorry last time, thank you very much." Mu Wan squatted down, the heat in the costume surged, her face became hotter again, and she smiled and said politely, "My injury has healed, why don't I treat you to a meal after get off work today."
"No." Rejection must be concise.
The smile on Mu Wan's face was like clouds rolling in the sky. Her tone was still bright and she asked bluntly: "Oh, then why are you calling me?"
Liu Qianxiu sat in the office. The office was very quiet, with only the crisp sound of paper. The ambulance record on the table was blown up in a corner. His tone was calm and peaceful, and still concise.
"I want a cat."
After he said this, Mu Wan understood. He was so familiar with Sanhua that he probably knew that Sanhua was pregnant. When he came back from vacation, he found Sanhua dead. He adjusted the surveillance camera and found that Sanhua's kitten was taken away by her.
But when they first met, Mu Wan asked him, and he said that Sanhua was not the cat he raised. So, he had no right to take back the kitten under Sanhua.
The tip of the tongue slightly pressed against the root of the teeth, Mu Wan smiled, and the clouds were calm and the wind was light.
"Oh? Which one do you want?"
Her voice was like a flower. The petals were very tight when answering the phone. Later, gradually, the petals opened, exuding the unique fragrance of a woman. She became a cat again.
Her voice in my ear overlapped with the sound in the corridor in my memory. The woman's warm body seemed to be still in her arms, her slender arms tightened, and there was a heat simmering from alcohol on her body.
She was drunk and forgot about this, Liu Qianxiu still remembered it.
The air conditioner finally blew the record book at hand one page. The a4 paper was thin and white, with a form printed on it. The font in the form is neat: name, phone number, address...
Liu Qianxiu did not answer, and the deputy director called someone to film, Mu Wan took back his mood and his voice returned to normal.
"Sorry, Dr. Liu, the cat is mine, I can't give it to you. If there is nothing to do, I'll go to work first."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
When I was at work in the afternoon, the young nurse and the head nurse met. The topic had become the cost-effective thing to buy at Taobao's mid-year promotion, and I never mentioned the three flowers again. After sighing, the three flowers that died were like rime on the trees, silently falling into people's snow-covered memories, and no longer saw them.
After an operation was performed in the afternoon, Liu Qianxiu got off work until the time was signed. After getting on the bus, the car started, and after driving out of the hospital, he disappeared into the traffic flow after get off work.
The sky cleared this morning. The asphalt ground that had been dry for a day had recovered from drying, while the soil was only half dry. The dark brown soil grew some weeds, which exuded vitality under the shade of the maple tree.
Compared with Nanfeng Apartment, this community is very dilapidated and clear. It shines on the mottled building walls through the treetops, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of decay. The telephone poles stand against the walls, and the wires on the rough floor are straight and complicated, connecting buildings one by one. On the hanging antenna between the two buildings, birds occasionally land on them.
Liu Qianxiu walked into the first building in the second row of the community. The corridor was very dark and there was a feeling of mold and wetness that had not been dried. The white paint on the stair railings had fallen, and mottled rust fell on it, like spots on quail egg shells.
The house here is very old. There is a staircase at the entrance, and there is a basement next to the staircase. The entrance to the basement is pitch black and quiet, with some debris piled up next to it. The stair steps are not high and the edges are smooth. I don’t know how many people have stepped on it.
The corridor is very cramped, and there is a small window on the platform connecting the two floors. After a few days of rain, the small windows were washed clean. The sunlight shone in through the glass, cutting the ground into several different bizarre blocks of light.
When Liu Qianxiu was about to reach the third floor, he heard a sound of opening the door. He stood on the platform in the middle of the second and third floors, looking up.
Mu Wan stood on the stairs, wearing a green vest and a pair of jeans, with her long hair tied up, revealing her white and straight collarbone. Around her slender neck, the small face as big as a palm, was charming and bright, and her brows were slightly frowning. After seeing Liu Qianxiu, her eyebrows were slightly stretched.
The man stood in the backlight, under his cold white skin, deep facial features and shallow temperament. He stood in the narrow corridor, like a buried porcelain on a shipwreck under the sea. Only a corner of the light was illuminated, it was hard to hide his nobility.
Mu Wan looked at him, her red lips moved slightly, and her voice echoed slightly in the corridor.
"Doctor Liu, are you here to find me?"
Without answering her question, Liu Qianxiu's eyes were concentrated in her arms, a green blanket wrapped in a black and white little cat.
"What's wrong with it?" Liu Qianxiu asked.
Mu Wan lowered her head and glanced at the middle part in her arms. The corners of her lips slightly lowered, and her voice also lowered.
“It’s not very good.”
