"Meow…?"
After Hua Shi's back gradually disappeared at the edge of the fence, the orange cat that jumped out of Hua Shi's arms rushed out from the messy bushes beside him.
At this time, the tiger ran thousands of miles, and after achieving its goal, it lay lazily on the ground, licking its furry paws, and raised its eyes casually to look at the orange cat who came out late.
The orange cat raised its head and looked again and again in the direction where Hua Shi left. After making sure that she really would not come back, it turned to look at the tiger.
It bared its two sharp teeth, and its sharp claws extended from the pads of flesh on the muddy ground. It roared and growled at the tiger ferociously.
It seems like a provocation, but also like an accusation...
“Meow meow meow!!”
The orange cat screamed sharply.
The tiger didn't seem to care at all. After licking his paws, he felt that he had recovered well. He squinted his eyes lazily and lay on the ground drowsily.
After traveling non-stop for several days, the horse finally relaxed, but the overwhelming fatigue made it feel drowsy and sleepy.
As for the orange cat's complaints, it didn't take them to heart at all. The meowing was very noisy, and it didn't want to bother guessing what it was meowing about. It just wanted to have a good rest.
“Meow meow meow!!”
The orange cat saw that the guy had achieved his goal and didn't want to bother with it anymore. He was too quick to destroy the bridge after crossing it. In anger, he pounced on the tiger and scratched its face with its sharp claws.
The tiger just lazily raised its eyelids, lying its huge body in the weeds, with no intention of paying any attention.
The orange cat was so angry that he was jumping up and down, but he had no idea what to do...
…
Hua Shi, who left here, had no idea what happened in the fish pond afterwards.
The tiger was appeased briefly. As long as it didn't run away, there would be no big problem. People in the village generally wouldn't run to her backyard for no reason, so at this moment, her whole mind was still on Hua Yu.
As soon as she walked back to the front yard, she heard a crackling sound coming from the kitchen on the side.
It should be the sound of Huazhu making breakfast in the kitchen.
In the empty yard, the tall and strong Pinus koraiensis squatted in the middle of the yard with its back hunched and its head buried, as if it was looking at something with no distractions.
It was not until the obvious sound of Hua Shi's footsteps came from behind that Hua Song came to his senses and turned to look at her.
Hua Shi also saw what was placed in front of him, a litter of kittens, and Xiao Hei circling around the kitten nest.
Hua Song looked at her uneasily with a frightened look in his eyes. He opened his mouth silently, as if he didn't know what to say.
"What are you doing?" Hua Shi looked into his dark eyes and asked casually.
Hua Song quickly continued, "I'm going to feed the kittens. They look very hungry."
Only then did Hua Shi notice that the kittens in that litter seemed to be wilted from starvation and could not even make a sound.
She had been busy taking care of Hua Yu for the past two or three days and had no time to think about the litter of kittens she brought back from the town. Looking at Hua Song's uneasy and worried eyes, Hua Shi nodded in tacit agreement.
"Okay, take good care of this litter of kittens. Feed them whatever you can."
Hua Shi pondered for a moment and then spoke.
Hua Song seemed to like this litter of hungry kittens very much. When he heard Hua Shi instructing him to take care of the kittens, his eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Hua Shi turned around and saw Hua Xiao and Hua Li walking out of the east room dejectedly and listlessly. When they looked up and met her gaze, their eyes reddened at the same time and they looked at her hesitantly as if they wanted to say something.
"Second brother, it's still... like that..." Hua Xiao said in a low voice with his head down.
When Hua Shi heard this, she felt a surge of powerlessness in her heart.
If only she knew how to heal... or...
Or what? Hua Shi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She thought about it again and again, but finally decided not to go into it any further.
She had done her best, and if the result was not what she wanted, there was nothing she could do.
There is no need to put pressure on yourself, to assume things that do not exist and are not true, and there is no need to feel guilty about it...
Faced with Hua Xiao and Hua Li's depressed mood, Hua Shi could do nothing but offer a few pale words of comfort.
She realized that the comforting words she said were somewhat sentimental and useless, and also frightening for no reason. Hua Shi was silent for a moment and didn't say anything more.
All of Hua Shi's reactions were seen by the sensitive Hua Xiao.
Such a tacit expression... Hua Xiao thought of her second brother lying on the kang with pale lips and hot cheeks, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air, began to sink little by little.
Second brother...
"Second brother, will he... die?" Hua Xiao's voice trembled, and he looked at her with tears in his eyes.
A long time ago, she didn't know what death was until the third girl's mother died of complications during childbirth while giving birth to her younger brother. She ran to her and cried, and told her about this.
She was confused and understood what death meant in a trance. Death meant that she would never be in this world again, would never see the dead person again, would never hear his voice again, and everything about this person would be forgotten by everyone as time went by...
Hua Xiao only knew that she didn't want her second brother to die. She wanted to see him again and hear his voice...
Hua Shi looked at her red and swollen eyes, and for a moment he couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth.
Without effective treatment, the wound will continue to worsen and will not improve. It will just be delayed little by little until the patient dies.
During the minute and a half second that she was silent, Hua Xiao's tears started to fall again. She suddenly squatted on the ground, her whole body shaking with tears.
Her silence undoubtedly meant she acquiesced...acquiesced...that Second Brother would really die...
Hua Xiao squatted on the ground and cried for a long time. The atmosphere in the yard was strangely silent and no one spoke. Hua Shi didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only stand silently by her side.
Hua Li clenched her fists, gritted her teeth silently, and watched. Tears welled up in her eyes several times but couldn't fall.
This is the worst plan at the moment... Hua Shi also made it clear that the arrow is now on the string and there is no turning back, so we can only face it calmly.
"Hua Li!! Hua Li?!"
Hua Xiao's crying had just stopped when two or three voices calling Hua Li's name suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.
The voice sounded childish, obviously a child from the village, who came to play with Hua Li.
When Hua Li heard her name, she raised her hand and rubbed her red eyes vigorously as if by reflex, then looked in the direction of the sound.
"Who is it?"
Hua Li heard her own choking sobs. She started to speak but swallowed the rest of the words back. She coughed hard twice as if to cover it up.
"Hua Li?!"
Several children's voices gradually approached from outside the courtyard wall.
