The little black snake finally untied the knot by itself before dawn. It looked around for a long time, and its sight fell on the edge of the cardboard box.
After shaking its pointed tail, the little black snake crawled to the corner of the cardboard box and began to work hard to climb up. The cardboard box Yan Yue found was used to store fertilizer, and it was not very high, only 60 centimeters. Considering the "IQ" of the little black snake, Yan Yue felt that 60 centimeters was enough. Besides, there was a big black guard outside.
Sure enough, the little black snake struggled to crawl to the edge of the carton, and just as it poked its head out, the big black snake, who had been lying next to the carton, immediately raised its head alertly, and its black eyes met the little black snake. The little black snake hesitated for a while, changed direction aggrievedly, and crawled back to the bottom of the carton.
Dahei shook his ears, closed his eyes calmly and continued to sleep.
Yan Yue woke up just after six o'clock. The earthen kang under him was too hot, and he was a little uncomfortable sleeping. He got up quietly and sat up, and saw that half of Lu Lingxi's body was exposed, and he was obviously feeling very hot. No wonder he felt empty in his arms in the middle of the night, and he couldn't touch anyone. He bent down and kissed Lu Lingxi, then Yan Yue tucked the quilt for him, put on his clothes and went to see the little black snake again.
Dahei had heard Yan Yue's movements long ago, and was lying on the ground quietly watching him. Yan Yue touched Dahei's head. It was not that he didn't want Dahei to get on the kang, but that the kang was too hot and Dahei didn't want to get on it.
Inside the cardboard box, the little black snake was spinning with its tail bitten. It curiously poked its head out when it saw Yan Yue coming over. Yan Yue stared at it for a while, then stretched out his hand and pinched its seven-inch wrist to lift it up. Last night, he dreamed of this stupid snake, and he didn't know where it came from. The little black snake was not afraid even when it was pinched by its seven-inch wrist. It looked at Yan Yue stupidly for a while, then slightly hooked its tail tip and tentatively wrapped it around Yan Yue's wrist.
It seemed to find this was a good idea, and the little black snake wrapped around Yan Yue's wrist and refused to let go. Yan Yue loosened his hand and wanted to put it back into the box, but the little black snake bit Yan Yue's cuff and refused to go back.
Yan Yue: “…”
After a long battle between the man and the snake, Yan Yue had no choice but to tolerate the little black snake hanging on his wrist. Fortunately, the little snake was very conscious. When Yan Yue told it not to move, it really froze and did not move. If you don't look carefully, you won't find that the snake is still alive.
It was almost seven o'clock when Lu Lingxi rubbed his eyes and sat up. Seeing that he was getting ready to get up, Yan Yue came over and kissed him, saying softly, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? What do you want to eat in the morning? I'll make it."
"Anything is fine." Lu Lingxi lowered his head while wearing a sweater and saw the little snake on Yan Yue's wrist. He blinked in surprise and poked it with some curiosity. The little snake shook its head blankly and hesitantly crawled a few steps towards Lu Lingxi. The smell that attracted it was here, very comfortable and pleasant. Yan Yue watched the little black snake let go of him, and the tip of its tail moved towards Lu Lingxi's finger little by little.
"Woof."
Dahei's head came closer, with its two front paws resting on the edge of the kang, half-standing and looking at Lu Lingxi gently. Lu Lingxi's attention was immediately attracted, and she smiled and reached out to touch Dahei's head. When the little snake saw Dahei appear, the tip of its tail stretched out in the air froze for a few seconds, then secretly changed direction and wrapped itself around Yan Yue's hand again.
Yan Yue curled the corners of his mouth, thinking that this snake was not completely stupid.
After Lu Lingxi got up, he wanted to go to the Lingshui River to see the evolution of the bitter grass. Yan Yue had an email to reply, so Lu Lingxi didn't disturb him and went out with Dahei. It was not yet seven o'clock, and the sky was a little dark. Most of the villagers in the village had just got up. There were noises, dogs barking, and chickens crowing. The whole village seemed to break free from the silence of the night and become lively little by little, with vigorous vitality and hope.
When passing by the big willow tree, Lu Lingxi stopped for a while. He clicked on the white panel, and the roots of the big willow tree continued to extend in all directions. In the direction he was going, the roots had extended past the bottom of the Lingshui River and continued to stretch across the river. Across the river was also the area of Lingshui Village, but there were not many people living there, and it was basically some abandoned land. Further over there was a small hill, and Lu Lingxi didn't know what was across the hill.
Although it was dormant in winter, the willow tree was still full of vitality. Lu Lingxi looked up at the willow tree, which seemed to have grown taller, and imagined the scene after it evolved again.
Perhaps he had been in a daze for too long, Dahei licked Lu Lingxi's finger to remind him not to forget the purpose of coming out. Lu Lingxi smiled with his eyes curved, and said to Dahei on a whim: "Let's run together and see who runs over first?"
Dahei looked at Lu Lingxi with a somewhat indulgent look and barked softly. As soon as Lu Lingxi ran, Dahei immediately followed him, but he never wanted to overtake Lu Lingxi. The man and the dog were having fun running, and the dogs in the village saw Dahei and followed him. Soon, a group of dogs followed behind Lu Lingxi. These dogs were restrained and dared not overtake Dahei. A few of them wanted to show off in front of Dahei, but they were scolded by Dahei as soon as they ran a little faster.
Looking from behind, it looked like Lu Lingxi was being chased by a pack of dogs and was running for his life.
Lu Lingxi: “…”
The people in the village were almost laughing to death when they saw him. I don't know why Xiaoxi is so popular with dogs. Usually, the dogs in the village like to show their faces in front of him, but this time they just followed him.
Lu Lingxi couldn't stop laughing when he was halfway through running, especially when Dahei refused to let the dogs run freely to save his face. He stopped in amusement, hugged Dahei and gave him a kiss, thinking that Dahei was really considerate.
The man and the dog started to walk slowly, and the dogs in the village also dispersed. When Lu Lingxi arrived at the Lingshui River, there were only two or three dogs following him.
In fact, the development of the Vallisneria ecosystem has greatly exceeded Lu Lingxi's expectations. It has only been a short while, and through the ice, you can see that the river water flowing out of Lingshui Village is already clear. A wild dog on the opposite side of the river broke through the ice to drink water, and when he saw Dahei, he barked excitedly.
Dahei was always calm when he was outside, unless he felt that he was in danger. He only responded softly when he heard the barking of the dog on the other side, and then squatted quietly beside Lu Lingxi. Lu Lingxi found a stone by the river and chiseled the ice. He took out the small bottle he brought with him and filled it with water to test it. Through the thin ice, he could hear the sound of water rushing below, and the green bitter grass stretched in the water, which was strangely beautiful.
Lu Lingxi was in a good mood all morning because of the purification of Lingshui River. After breakfast, he and Yan Yue went to the flower garden to look around, and moved a few bags of flower fertilizer into the trunk. The two were ready to return to Fengcheng. The first problem they faced was, what to do with the little black snake?
Lu Lingxi and Yan Yue are not afraid of snakes, but there is Wang Shuxiu at home, and it would be bad if they scared Wang Shuxiu.
"Just leave it here. The flower garden is so big, it can move around freely. Tell Xu San to remember to leave some food for it in the corner every day." Yan Yue said.
The little black snake understood what Yan Yue meant, and the tip of its tail wrapped around his wrist even tighter. It also bit Yan Yue's cuff with one end, looking like it didn't want to leave.
Lu Lingxi felt a little soft-hearted, "Why don't we take it back with us?"
The little black snake hissed, and Yan Yue took the opportunity to grab it by the tail and lifted it up. The little black snake's tail was grabbed by Yan Yue, and it stretched its body hard to hook Yan Yue's wrist, but it couldn't reach it. Yan Yue looked at its stupid twisting and turning, and was speechless for a while before agreeing.
Lu Lingxi touched the little black snake and named it Xiaohei, following the name of Dahei. "From now on, you will be called Xiaohei, remember?"
Xiao Hei hissed, and contentedly hooked Yan Yue's wrist. Under Yan Yue's gaze, he tightly wrapped around her and became motionless again.
Wang Shuxiu didn't notice the snake at home right away. It was almost the end of the month, and because of her wedding with Xiao Feng, Wang Shuxiu was very busy during this period. Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people in the hotel on Monday, Wang Shuxiu wanted to take wedding photos with Xiao Feng. Originally, Wang Shuxiu thought it was unnecessary. She was already old, so why take wedding photos? But Xiao Feng insisted on taking the photos, and even took Lu Lingxi with him, saying that they could take some family photos as well.
Wang Shuxiu was happy and agreed. At this time, Yan Yue had no choice but to go with them. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't ask Wang Shuxiu to add him. The photo studio Xiao Feng booked was owned by a friend of his and was very famous in Fengcheng. Because of Xiao Feng's relationship, the owner of the photo studio personally came out to receive them, and even the makeup artist and photographer were the best.
Xiao Feng and Lu Lingxi had to pack very simply, changing clothes and putting on some makeup. Wang Shuxiu had to deal with more troubles, as she had to take care of four or five layers of makeup inside and out, and also style her hair. Xiao Feng did not rush her, but sat patiently by the side waiting for Wang Shuxiu to put on her makeup.
The owner of the photo studio was there, chatting with Xiao Feng. He said with some regret, "It would have been better if you took the photos in the summer. We could have gone to the beach to take a series of seascape photos. Now the outside is bare everywhere, so we can only take photos indoors. I feel sorry for my sister-in-law."
Xiao Feng's eyes did not leave Wang Shuxiu, and he nodded, "I feel a little wronged."
Wang Shuxiu was halfway through putting on makeup when she heard Xiao Feng say that and gave him a flirtatious look. Xiao Feng looked at her and smiled.
The interaction between the two was seen by the studio owner, who felt that Xiao Feng was now as soft as steel. Who would have thought that Xiao Feng would look for a divorced woman with a burden instead of a lot of young girls? There were rumors that Xiao Feng closed the studio because of this woman. He didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true. Judging from Xiao Feng's attitude, he must be sincere, otherwise he wouldn't bring his adopted son to take wedding photos.
Thinking of this, the boss's eyes fell on Lu Lingxi who was sitting quietly at the side. He smiled at Lu Lingxi kindly, "This is my eldest nephew, we will take a series of family portraits later. The dog will also be included. We just happen to have a pet Tang suit in the store, so let's put it on to make it festive."
"Yeah." Lu Lingxi nodded, looking at Dahei with a smile in his eyes. It is very popular to dress pets in clothes now, and Lu Lingxi once thought about buying a set for Dahei, but Dahei didn't like it, so Lu Lingxi just let it be. He didn't know what Dahei would look like in the clothes.
The studio owner gave the order and the staff quickly brought the clothes. Although Dahei looked very docile, the girls in the store still didn't dare to approach him. Lu Lingxi took the clothes and motioned for him to put them on Dahei. Dahei cooperated very well and put on the Tang suit with a red blessing character printed on it, and also put on a melon-shaped hat from the same series on his head.
Seeing this image of it squatting in front of Lu Lingxi, Lu Lingxi was almost laughing to death. He took more than a dozen photos in one breath and sent them to Yan Yue.
Yan Yue's text message came quickly, and he replied with a laughing emoticon.
The studio owner handed over a pair of sunglasses for fun. Lu Lingxi helped Dahei put them on and laughed even harder, holding his stomach.
Even Xiao Feng laughed when he saw it. He liked Dahei very much. Although Dahei looked docile and harmless now, he remembered that Dahei almost bit off his leg. Considering the dogs in the community were trembling in fear when they saw Dahei, you can see how powerful Dahei was.
"Okay." The makeup artist's voice diverted their attention. "The bride is coming out." After he said that, everyone looked towards the dressing room. Wang Shuxiu changed into her wedding dress and walked out slowly.
For a moment, Lu Lingxi was completely stunned. He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, thinking that his mother was really beautiful now. Wang Shuxiu has changed a lot in the past six months. Perhaps because she no longer works in KTV, she rarely wears the skirts she used to wear. Her clothes have become more conservative, and the worldly air on her is basically gone. After being with Xiao Feng, Wang Shuxiu is in a good mood and her career is going smoothly. She looks radiant at ordinary times. In addition, with the makeup artist's dressing today, she is charming and dazzling just standing there.
The boss was also stunned for a moment and somewhat understood Xiao Feng's choice.
Xiao Feng slowly smiled and said simply, "It looks good."
Even though she was used to the ups and downs of life, Wang Shuxiu blushed like a little girl when she heard Xiao Feng say that.
As Wang Shuxiu changed her clothes, the photo shoot started. After taking a few photos, Lu Lingxi felt that this was a very physical job. It was hard for both the photographer and the new photographer. He sat aside with Dahei, quietly watching Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng pose in various positions under the guidance of the photographer.
"Come on, both of you get closer. Yes, just like that. One of you puts his hand on the other's shoulder. OK, let's get ready to take the photo."
"Good, very good. Now let's change the posture. The groom smiles at the bride. Yes, smile like this. Don't move."
Lu Lingxi curled his eyes, looked at the happy smile on his mother's face, lowered his head and sent a text message to Yan Yue.
"Brother Yan, I miss you."
"Dear, I miss you too. Let's find some time to bring Dahei and Xiaohei to take a family photo."
"Okay." Lu Lingxi smiled as he read the text message. The photographer started calling him. "This time we'll take a group photo. Xiaoxi will sit on the ground with the big dog. Yes, the dog will squat there, put on sunglasses, and smile at the camera."
"Okay, just stay still and we'll take the photo."
As the photographer finished speaking, the three people and the dog in the photo laughed at the same time, and happiness was frozen in time.
