Chapter 64: Bang
Zhuo Can is an out-and-out homebody, but Lu Song really likes outdoor sports.
The weekend was a sunny day with pleasant temperature. For Zhuo Can, the best thing to do in such weather was to open the curtains, curl up on the sofa, play games, and take a good nap.
But Lu Song didn't agree. He wanted to take him to climb the mountain, under the pretext that it was the clear and refreshing autumn weather and he wanted to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Not only do you have to climb the mountain, you also have to stay overnight on the mountain.
And we don’t stay in farmhouse B&Bs, we stay in tents.
Zhuo Can couldn't understand.
Lu Song is not an exception, Qi Rui is also like this.
When they were students, Qi Rui would drag Zhuo Can along for most activities, except for outdoor hiking like this.
Zhuo Can went there once or twice. He was so out of breath when going up the mountain that he couldn't even speak complete sentences, and his calves were shaking when coming down the mountain. He went home and lay down for a day, and the next day he could hardly get out of bed.
Never participated again from then on.
If it weren’t for Xiaohui’s recent pregnancy, Qi Rui would definitely want to go too.
It's tiring, but the camping equipment is more professional than the other, making you want to move your home to the top of the mountain; the prices are even more outrageous, so expensive that it's shocking.
Zhuo Can couldn't understand why rich people tortured themselves.
It's no use if he doesn't want to go, because Mianli wants to go.
When Lu Song mentioned mountain climbing and camping, his eyes lit up.
Zhuo Can doubted whether this little god who had never seen the world knew what they were going to do.
Originally, Zhuo Can had specially called Tao's father on behalf of Mian Li to ask if Xiao Jiajia wanted to go together.
The child answered the phone himself, speaking in a muffled voice, saying it was cold lately and he had a slight cold and needed to stay in bed. He also politely wished them a good time.
Zhuo Can quickly said, then you should have a good rest. I will bring Lili to see you when you feel better.
After hanging up the phone, Zhuo Can murmured in his heart, wondering if it was normal that other people's children were always sick when they were young.
Fortunately, they have a little fairy at home, so they don’t have to worry about this.
So, the weekend became a parent-child time for him, Mianli and Lu Song, a family of three who were not related in any way.
Other families are unwilling to take care of such a young child. He can't walk far and will have to be carried soon. It is like carrying dozens of kilograms of luggage when climbing a mountain for nothing.
Zhuo Can is different.
The little fairy was originally very light, and thoughtfully used his divine power to reduce the burden for him. Not only did he not feel tired, but he felt full of energy.
When others saw this fair-skinned young man walking briskly while holding the baby, they were very impressed and praised him repeatedly.
For the first time, Zhuo Can felt the benefits of mountain climbing.
They arrived at the top of the mountain in the afternoon and there were quite a lot of people there. Just as Lu Song said, it would be a waste not to go out and play in such good weather.
Zhuo Can put down the sleeping gift, his face was not red and he was not out of breath. He felt as if he was ten years younger.
The three of them climbed the mountain on foot, and as for the things needed for camping, they drove up there via another route.
Things were scattered all over the floor, and they had to assemble them themselves. Zhuo Can was dazzled by the instructions, but Lu Song was familiar with the process and had already sorted out the necessary tools.
Zhuo Can squatted beside him and looked at him: "Did you come here often before?"
Lu Songxiao: "I really liked mountain climbing when I was a kid. After all, it's the cheapest entertainment activity."
The mountain is there, it will not close, there will be no charge, the mountain is a mountain.
At that time, young people struggling in difficult situations would climb to the top of a mountain alone to watch the sunrise when their work was not so stressful. Seeing the gushing power of nature, their hearts would become peaceful.
At that time, he was thinking that one day he would bring the person he loved with him.
Lu Song has fulfilled his childhood dream.
Zhuo Can, who didn't know so much about the inside story, stood up and prepared to help him pull up the tent. He turned around and saw the child crouching down, about to walk towards the bushes: "Mian Li!"
You can't be careless when taking care of children, you have to keep an eye on them all the time.
Mianli heard it, stopped, still maintaining the bowed posture, and said "hush" to him.
Zhuo Can glanced at Lu Song, and Lu Song gestured for him to go over and take a look, saying that he was the only one here.
The adult tiptoed to the boy's side and lowered his voice: "What's the matter?"
Mianli said, "There are cats."
It's normal to have cats in the mountains.
Especially in areas frequented by tourists, the cats are brave and fatter than each other. When they see people, they lie down and expose their bellies, asking for petting and food.
Mianli has Zhizhi and Taotao to keep her company at Qirui's house, and has seen many cats when she goes out, so she shouldn't be so curious anymore.
But He kept His eyes fixed on the bushes, His whole attention focused.
Zhuo Can squatted down and lowered himself to the same visual altitude. He looked and looked, but saw nothing.
Zhuo Can asked: "What color cat?"
Mian Li said: "Black!"
Zhuo Can still got nothing.
Logically speaking, his blood sugar level hasn't dropped recently.
Mianli also felt strange.
It’s so obvious, why can’t Cancan see it?
It was a pure black cat with very beautiful fur, without a single stray hair on its body.
It doesn't look very old, about half a year old, with a strong body and agile movements.
It has a pair of bright yellow eyes that glow faintly in the dark.
These are not the most special places.
What makes it special is that the cat has a woven headdress on its head, which is made of gold and red silk threads interwoven. It looks like a symbol of some ancient ritual, making its black hair even more handsome.
Xiaohui would also buy Zhizhi all kinds of beautiful bibs and bow ties.
Mianli vaguely understood that Zhizhi and Taotao were domestic pet cats, and whatever they wore was bought by humans.
But why do cats native to the forest have headdresses that look so delicate?
Who made it?
In addition, Mian Li also felt a breath from it that he had never seen before.
It was different from ordinary cats and any other creature Mianli had ever seen.
In fact, it doesn't seem like a product of this world.
He asked it in his heart, "Who are you?"
The tips of the cat's ears twitched, and its pupils changed slightly.
"Do you know me?"
He was sure it heard and understood, but it did not respond.
The little black cat was not afraid of Him. It squatted in the bushes and watched quietly.
The little fairy also remained motionless, and the man and the cat competed secretly from a few steps away.
Only Zhuo Can could see nothing.
He patted the child and said, "Let's go back and see how Lulu's tent is going, okay? We still need to set up the barbecue grill quickly. Do you still want to eat barbecue?"
Mianli bit her lip, very hesitant.
He wanted to stay here and explore the strange cats, but he was reluctant to eat the delicious food.
Zhuo Can coaxed him patiently: "After you finish eating, I'll come with you to find the cat, okay? If it wants to play with you, it won't go far."
It seems that eating is more important.
Mianli agreed and reached out for a hug.
Just as they were leaving the bushes, someone suddenly called His name.
"Sleeping ceremony."
The voice sounded very young and a little immature.
"See you next time."
The young god turned around and found nothing.
The mysterious black cat also disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
*
It is very common to encounter cats in the forest. Zhuo Can casually mentioned this to Lu Song, and the adults didn't take it seriously.
As for Mianli himself, his stomach was already stuffed with barbecued meat and he had no mind to think about anything else.
In the afternoon, we basked in the sun, chatted, and ate some snacks we brought with us. Time passed quickly.
Zhuo Can lay on the picnic mat, watching Lu Songjiao assembling a toy car, and felt a simple satisfaction with worldly happiness.
Camping seems pretty good.
Until they left, they didn't think about the black cat again.
As night falls, many people have fallen asleep, but the forest is not quiet.
The chirping of insects around went from being scattered and individual to a collective ensemble in just ten minutes.
Zhuo Can couldn't sleep because of the noise. He opened his eyes and found that Lu Song was not asleep either.
Zhuo Can lowered his voice: "Why don't you sleep?"
Lu Song smiled bitterly: "The ground is too hard, it's a bit uncomfortable."
Boss Lu usually sleeps on expensive furniture, so this hard floor is really unfair to him.
Zhuo Can said, "What should we do then?"
Lu Song suggested: "How about going out for a walk?"
Zhuo Can really wanted to go, but he was still sleeping soundly during the Mian Li ceremony.
He propped up his upper body with one arm, gently pulled the boy to his side, and tickled the soles of the child's feet with evil intentions, just like he usually did to Taotao, to wake him up.
Little Curly was angry: "What are you doing!"
Zhuo Can used his palm to squeeze his angry little face, which looked like a pufferfish, even flatter: "I'll take you to see something interesting."
It was cold in the mountains at night, and even though the little fairy wasn't afraid of the cold, Zhuo Can still wrapped him in several layers of clothes.
After equipping themselves, they left the tree-shaded camping area and walked a little further towards the more open mountaintop.
Although she said she was unhappy about being woken up, Mianli was actually happier than anyone else. She held Zhuo Can with her left hand and Lu Song with her right hand, rocking and swinging on the swing.
Zhuo Can recalled that the first time they played like this was when they were on a business trip and there was a power outage in the hotel, so they spent time by the river.
At that time, he only regarded Lu Song as his boss and friend, and he thought that Mian Li could stay by his side safely.
I didn't expect so much to have happened in just a few months.
Time has passed, but the people we love are still here. How fortunate we are.
The light pollution in the city hides the stars at night. Not to mention the children who have hardly ever seen them, even adults sigh in admiration when they see the brilliant starry sky again.
The deep blue night sky is dotted with tiny diamonds, which are extremely beautiful.
Mian Li was carried on Lu Song's shoulders, staring at him intently.
"What is that?"
"It's the stars."
"Star?"
Mianli thought about it and understood that the stars were actually stardust flowers.
It sleeps during the day and blooms at night.
There are many plants in the imperial garden, and He likes to play there very much.
It smells like a light, clear fragrance, very much like God the Father.
It’s just that humans have never seen stardust flowers, so they think it is some kind of celestial phenomenon.
Mianli stretched out his hand and made a stroke in the air. When he opened his hand again, a small flower was lying on his palm.
It is blue to black, with tiny spots of light on the petals.
Zhuo Can came over and asked, "Hey, when did you make these flowers?"
Mianli said, "I just picked it."
Zhuo Can looked left and right: "Where?"
Mianli laughed: "It's just the stars, Cancan is stupid!"
The child was clearly being held by Lu Song, and there were no trees around, so where could he pick flowers?
Zhuo Can was not convinced and asked Lu Song to judge: This is obviously a flower, how can it look like a star?
Judging from Boss Lu’s knowledge…well, it does look more like a flower.
The little gods don't bother with stupid humans.
His palm was facing upwards, and the tiny flower shattered into powder, floating upwards even though there was no wind.
It won't be long before they return to the sky and become part of the stars again.
After a while, the night deepened and the stars in the jungle lit up.
This involves a blind spot in the knowledge of sleeping rituals.
The stars in the sky are blooming stardust flowers; what are the stars on the ground?
The stars on the ground are just like those in the sky, twinkling as if blinking.
Lu Song said: "This is a firefly."
"firefly?"
"Yes, they are insects. Like butterflies and bees, they are small insects. They carry small lanterns and illuminate and guide other small animals at night."
Mianli nodded, not quite understanding.
Zhuo Can found an empty glass bottle from somewhere and caught some fireflies and put them in it.
For a moment it became a glowing bottle.
The little fairy looked at it, feeling curious and a little scared.
"Is it hot?"
"They're not hot," Zhuo Can said. "You can play with them for a while, but then we'll release them back into nature."
Mianli took it, held it in his little hands, and looked like he cherished it very much.
If he hadn't come to climb the mountain, he would not have had the chance to see the stars on the earth - now he knows their name, they are fireflies.
Zhuo Can did not forget to bring snacks when he went out for a walk. He took a bag of potato chips from his big pocket and started eating them.
Sometimes she feeds the baby, and sometimes she feeds her boyfriend.
Mian Li was studying the glowing bottle carefully when he suddenly looked up and said, "Li Li wants to show it to Father God."
Zhuo Can was still chewing potato chips, saying nothing, and watched Kamijiang disappear in front of him.
He was stunned.
The little god really comes and goes like the wind.
*
This was one of the conditions for Zhuo Can to bring Mian Li back to the human world.
You can live in the human world, but you also need to supervise the young gods and go home often.
On earth there are humans whom He loves, and in heaven there are gods and messengers who care about Him.
Keep everything level.
Jiang Xiao rebuilt the passage for Mian Li, making it easier than before.
As long as He wants, He can return to the temple at any time.
So Mianli began to shuttle back and forth frequently. If there was anything delicious or fun, he would bring it to the Father from the human world, and also bring it to Cancan from the heaven.
For example, now that he has just seen the stars on the ground called fireflies, Mianli is going to take the glowing jar back to show it to the Father.
Zhuo Can didn’t want to eat the potato chips anymore, so he wiped his hands with a wet wipe, sealed the bag, and put it back in his pocket.
"I think I'm jealous."
He said.
Lu Song smiled and shook his head: "That's good now. You and Mr. Jiang, no, you and Lord God, will have something to fight for in the future."
Zhuo Can thought of Jiang Xiao's icy face and felt a little scared, but he was still confident: "He will definitely stay with me for a longer time."
"Why?"
“His friends are here.”
"His biological father is over there."
Zhuo Can seemed a little unconvinced when he heard this, as he was clearly a dad who was no less capable.
It was unknown how long it would take for Mian Li to return. They were cold from the wind on the mountain, so they went back to the tent first.
Anyway, the little gods can always find them.
The tent door was not completely closed, so I could still see the stars above the treetops.
Zhuo Can lay on her boyfriend's lap and felt that camping was a nice experience.
After Xiaohui gives birth to her baby, she can come with the three of them.
He and Qi Rui were originally inseparable good brothers.
Later, Qi Rui and Xiao Hui fell in love, and there were three of them.
Later he picked up four little fairies.
Later, I got together with Lu Song, and then when Xiaohui's baby was born, there were six of us.
The journey of life is completed with fellow passengers constantly getting on and off the train.
He just wished he could stay in the same carriage with them a little longer, a little longer.
Lu Song covered his eyes: "What are you thinking about."
"Thinking about...our future."
Zhuo Can refused to close her eyes and blinked mischievously. Her long eyelashes tickled Lu Song's palms and heart.
"'We'?" Lu Song asked. "Is it two people, or three people?"
Zhuo Can asked back: "What do you hope for?"
If they hadn't reunited with each other, they might have followed another path.
Everything is different now.
With Mianli, they don't have to worry about adopting a child, which is quite convenient.
After all, there is no better existence in this world than the little fairy.
I don't know when the chirping of insects gradually faded away, everything was silent, the starry sky was shining, and the children were not there, it was really suitable for kissing.
Without any words, Zhuo Can got up, sat cross-legged opposite him, closed his eyes, and leaned forward.
Lu Song held the back of his head, ready to give him a passionate kiss.
It's a pity that it couldn't be completed.
With a bang, a ball of golden light exploded before their eyes.
The little god descended from the sky.
Still holding the jar of fireflies.
The child's voice was extremely cheerful: "Just now, Lili showed the bug to Father God! Father God praised it for its beauty and said that he would raise one in the garden in the future~!"
After the "running away from home" incident, the relationship between the young god and the father god changed a lot. They were no longer separated by a long distance as before, and they could even chat like an ordinary father and son.
Even if God’s words are still few, it doesn’t matter. God has enough patience to listen to His children talk about what they have seen and heard in the human world.
Mianli blinked and looked at the two adults standing close to each other: "Hey?"
Logically speaking, they would have responded immediately to whatever He had said before.
But not now.
Mian Li got straight to the point: "What are you doing?"
"us……"
The adults all paused awkwardly.
Mianli looked at it, and looked again.
Suddenly realized.
"Kissing!"
Mianli opened the jar, let the fireflies fly away, then pounced into their midst, holding onto an adult's knee on each side and tiptoeing to squeeze in.
"Lili also wants——"
The adults looked at each other and saw the same helplessness and amusement in each other's eyes.
Then the two of them approached at the same time and placed a kiss on the child's sweet and soft face.
Today, little Mian Xiaoli is also the child who receives the most love in the world.
The author has something to say:
Who is Black Cat?
The final level will be opened in the next chapter~
