Chapter 357 The Night Follower

After everything was tidied up, the proprietress locked the door, Xiaoxi nodded to her lightly, and said, "See you tomorrow."

"Xiaoxi..." The proprietress suddenly stopped her and turned to leave.

Xiaoxi turned her head, with a puzzled look on her face.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress just stepped forward to straighten her warped collar, touched the top of her hair, and said with a smile: "Go to bed early at night, and the dark circles under your eyes will hang on your cheeks! Let's go, you too Go back quickly." After saying that, he shook his hand, shook his head and walked away with the key.

Xiaoxi stood there in a daze for a long time.It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of warmth close at hand, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.It wasn't until the back of the proprietress turned a corner and disappeared into the night that she regained her senses and continued walking forward.

The dormitory is next to the hotel, less than 100 meters away, it is an old community.It is said that it is the ancestral house of the proprietress's family, and the last chef also lives here.The proprietress moved out after getting married, and bought a house with her husband in the new community next door.The proprietress's husband is an army officer who guards the frontier all the year round and is an out-and-out hero.When the son grew up, he also went to the National Defense University to study, and wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and serve the country.Only the proprietress is alone, guarding the old restaurant and their home.

From her ten years of perseverance, Xiaoxi has admired the proprietress from the bottom of her heart.

"Tap, tap..." The sound of sneakers stomping on the road.

"Di di da da..." followed by a series of footsteps.

Xiaoxi's ears moved, he pursed his lips, and called out helplessly, "Xiao Hei?"

"Meow~" The black figure behind her yelled cheerfully, trotted up to her, saw her fixedly looking at him, narrowed her eyes to please her, stretched herself, and crawled to her feet Rubbed.Seeing that the girl was still silent, she tilted her head and turned over, the whole cat body rolled to the ground, revealing her belly openly.

Even a person who is as cold as ice can hardly resist the temptation of a furry child, let alone Xiaoxi.She knelt down, brushed the kitten's shiny hair, and said "tsk tsk" twice: "Seeing that you have become fat these days, can you still beat Xiaoju?"

Hearing Xiaoju's name, Xiaohei got up abruptly, with a look of disdain on his face, he raised his head proudly, motioning her to keep up with his pace.

Xiaoxi didn't know why all the little animals he encountered were so...human.Rhubarb is like this, and so is Xiaohei.Looking at the expression on this little face, those who didn't know it thought that there was a character living in the little body!

"Meow!" Xiao Hei urged angrily after taking two steps, seeing that the girl behind him was still in a daze.

Xiaoxi smiled slightly: "I know, I know, why are you so irritable! What do you want to take me to see..." Along the way, he babbled non-stop, and from time to time there were two small meows mixed in. It's like a conversation.

Xiao Hei's activity range is in the big grass behind. The kind people in the community have prepared warm foam boxes for the stray cats, and put them on thick padded jackets that they don't wear. Even if the temperature difference between day and night is big, the cats can spend it safely. cold night.

Xiaoxi followed its footsteps to the foam box, saw it stopped, thought it was hungry, and said in a good voice: "I have to go home to get food, otherwise how can I feed you?"

Xiao Hei didn't seem to care at all, he bit her pant leg and pulled her inside, calling out softly.After a while, there was also a small call from the cat's nest, and there were a few beeps.

"Who's inside? The voice sounds a little like Xiaoju—" Xiaoxi curiously opened the curtain of the foam box and looked inside. Sure enough, a familiar cat's face came into view.The little orange cat's alert attitude softened the moment it saw Xiaoxi, and meowed gently towards her, showing its little paws covering its belly.

A kitten with a strange color was lying quietly there.Inherited Xiaoju's gene, the whole body is full of flowers and colors, but the four claws are suspiciously black...

black? ?
Xiaoxi turned his head abruptly, looked at Xiao Hei who was behind him in disbelief, hesitated for a long time, pointed at it and asked, "You...your cub?"

"Meow!" Xiao Hei yelled proudly, walked around the creek and turned into the foam box, and gave Xiao Ju a hair in front of her.

Xiaoxi is really angry. After watching two cats fight from east to west, and from south to north for so long, she thought it was two father-in-laws who refused to give up each other in order to compete for territory. flirting?Or cheating on eating and drinking to gain sympathy? ?
Thinking of this, Xiaoxi looked at the two... oh no, it was the eyes of the two cats that were wrong.These days, even cats are so scheming!Xiaoxi turned around and left, which could not get rid of the two inside.

Xiao Hei ran out quickly, blocked her way domineeringly, and was still cursing and swearing.

Xiaoxi pointed at it: "Hey, I haven't scolded me yet, but you scolded me first?"

Xiao Hei flinched with arrogance visible to the naked eye, and leaned close to her feet to flatter her and rubbed against her. With this rubbing, his hardened heart turned into a puddle of water, soft and unbearable.

Touching its head, she looked at the time in embarrassment, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the little orange inside was still looking at her eagerly.She gritted her teeth and made a decision.

……

Suddenly two domineering non-indigenous people moved in, and the originally deserted home suddenly became lively.The temperature at night in this season in Xinjiang is very low, Xiaoxi turned on the radiator, and after a while, all three of them were hanging on it.

When Xiaoxi came out of the kitchen with homemade cat food, what she saw was a warm and harmonious family of three, and her eyes dimmed for a moment.

"Xiaoju, come and eat!" She cheered up and waved.Xiaoju had already smelled the scent, and was waiting for her to call her. This movement was fast, and she rushed to her in a flash, looking up at her with big watery eyes.

There are not many ingredients at home, and the cat rice is a little simple to make. It uses chicken breast and beef to mash, adds egg yolk and carrots, kneads it into balls and steams it.Xiaoju's appetite was very good, and she took one mouthful after another.Xiao Hei behind him waited quietly, even though he was so greedy that he was about to cry.

Xiaoxi looked at the family of three seriously with her chest folded, but what appeared in front of her eyes was a happy family in the capital.

Last night she dreamed about Grandma Yu again.The old man still looked at her with moist eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say but couldn't say.She wanted to step forward to hold her hand, but Grandma Yu suddenly disappeared again.

Only a sigh was left, lingering in her ears, lingering for a long time...
