Chapter 40 Red Dust
Fan Fei, who was choosing a recording pen in the store, was suddenly stunned. Although the street was noisy, he was only about ten meters away from Ding Shichen and Xu Jing. With his superhuman hearing, he heard these conversations between them with a little attention. He was naturally a little angry with Xu Jing's sarcastic words, but for a moment he couldn't figure out why she said so.
He only knew that from Xu Jing's words, Ding Shichen must be very uncomfortable now and want to cry.
But since she doesn't like herself, why does she feel uncomfortable? Fan Fei didn't dare to think deeply for a while.
All he knew was that he was deliberately angry with her just now. But since he has made up his mind to go his own way with her, why did he deliberately anger her? Fan Fei himself also couldn't figure this out.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it. Fan Fei shook his head, chose a recording pen with a recording time of more than ten hours and a relatively expensive price, and then quickly walked out.
The first time Fan Fei walked out of the store, he saw Ding Shichen looking up at the sky with an indifferent expression.
I don't know why, although there was no expression on Ding Shichen's face, Fan Fei's heart suddenly shudled.
Because of her expression, he suddenly thought of the word "heart is like stagnant water" and felt that she was now like a lost child, very helpless and desperate.
After a moment of hesitation, Fan Fei stepped forward and was about to say something to Ding Shichen, but Xu Jing's mobile phone suddenly rang.
As soon as Xu Jing answered the phone, her face changed and she exclaimed, "What? My grandfather went on a hunger strike?
Fan Fei was originally a little dissatisfied with Xu Jing, but when he heard the word " hunger strike", he was also a little surprised and couldn't help but prick his ears to listen. After Xu Jing finished calling, Fan Fei asked for a while and then figured out the ins and outs.
It turned out that Xu Jing's parents worked in the provincial capital, and Xu Jing was also born and raised in the provincial capital. When Xu Jing was 13 years old, her grandmother died, and her parents were ready to bring Xu Jing's grandfather Xu Yifan to the provincial capital. However, Xu Yifan didn't like the provincial capital very much. He said that he did not understand the language of the provincial capital, nor did he have any relatives or friends. He was definitely not used to it and died faster, so he resolutely refused to go to the provincial capital to settle down. Because Xu Yifan was old and sick, Xu Jing's parents hired him a babysitter to take care of him and prepared to find another wife for him. However, Xu Yifan had a deep affection for his dead wife, so he resolutely refused to continue.
Xu Yifan lived alone for nearly a year. He only played chess every day to relieve boredom, which made him suffer from Alzheimer's disease. So he complained to his son and daughter-in-law and shouted that he wanted to take care of his granddaughter to relieve his loneliness. Xu Jing's parents had no choice. At the same time, they also wanted their daughter to cultivate the ability to live independently and take care of others from an early age. Finally, they cruelly sent Xu Jing back to her hometown to accompany the old man for a year or two.
According to Xu Jing's parents' estimate, Xu Yifan will ascend to heaven in about a year or two. Unexpectedly, when Xu Yifan saw his lovely little granddaughter, he was suddenly in high spirits and gradually improved. It would not be a problem to live for another ten or eight years.
This time it was Xu Jing's turn to be depressed. She was at the age when she needed her parents' care, but she returned to her hometown alone, which was no different from a foreign country, so she was either in a daze or surfing the Internet all day long and rarely went out. Xu Yifan felt sorry for his granddaughter and knew that children like animals, so he began to buy some pets, from husky dogs to kittens, from parrots to goldfish, there are many kinds, and the family has become an animal paradise.
Xu Jing had a good time this time. Every day after school, she strolled the dog to tease the fish and feed the parrot, but also forgot the loneliness.
Later, Xu Jing met Ding Shichen in the same community. The two little girls were having a good time together. Later, they became classmates, and they were inseparable. In addition, Xu Jing is getting older now, and her interest has shifted to making friends and the Internet. She doesn't care much about those pets. Sometimes she feels that having more pets will make the house messy, and it is easy to cause germs if she is unsanitary, so she has mentioned to her grandfather many times that she wants to send some pets away.
But Xu Yifan has cultivated a deep affection for serving these pets all day long. He refused to send any pet away, and Xu Jing could only let him go.
For pets, Xu Yifan became more and more addicted. Later, he bought a small hamster said to be from Xinjiang at a high price, which was regarded as a treasure, as if he had suddenly found the ultimate pleasure of life.
This is a small Roborovsky hamster, which belongs to the desert dwarf hamster. This rat is the smallest of all pet hamsters. It is only the size of an adult's thumb, but it is also the fastest. The hamster raised by Xu Yifan is a rare breed called "white mother-in-law". The whole body is snow-white and cute. At the same time, its ability is super strong, it can jump high, and it runs as fast as lightning. Even the hair color on its body can often change automatically with the environment, which is very magical. It is very different from the same kind of hamster, as if it comes from Mars, not a species on earth.
This little hamster is very lively and recognizable. It doesn't like to be close to strangers, but it is particularly affectionate to its master Xu Yifan. It runs around Xu Yifan's feet all day, but he will never be trampled on by him. When Xu Yifan went out, he must also have this little thing in his pocket and affectionately called it "mother-in-law", as if he regarded it as his wife.
The little hamster recognized the master and was obedient. He never ran around and almost followed Mr. Xu step by step. Sometimes when he slept, he would get into Xu Yifan's pillow and lie down, and he was not afraid that Xu Yifan would crush it when he turned over. Xu Yifan also regarded it as a treasure, almost reaching the state of "I'm afraid of melting in my mouth and holding it in my hand", which made Xu Jing a little jealous and complained that this damn hamster had replaced her position.
This hamster even has the ability to resist drugs. Xu Yifan once took it to a friend's house in the countryside as a guest. By accident, the little hamster slipped into the kitchen, ate a small bag of mouse medicine in the corner of the wall, and then fell straight to the ground. Xu Yifan was heartbroken when he found it. He borrowed the hoe to dig a pit and was ready to bury it. As a result, as soon as he put it in the pit, the little hamster turned over and jumped up, and nothing happened. Xu Yifan thought that the rat poison was fake, but his friend told him that it was a highly poisonous rat poison. In the past, the poison also killed many mice. Only then did Xu Yifan know that the little hamster itself had the magical ability to resist poison.
It was after the incident of eating rat poison by mistake, Xu Yifan, who lost and recovered, changed the name of the little hamster from "mother-in-law" to "red dust". He probably felt that it was resurrected from the dead, and from then on, he could forget the red dust.
Xu Jing suspected that this was a hamster that was industrially polluted and produced strange biochemical mutations, so even the rat poison did not kill it. She repeatedly persuaded Grandpa to destroy this hamster, otherwise it would be troublesome in case of plague or biting people one day. Unexpectedly, Xu Yifan, who loved rats, couldn't listen to it at all. He also scolded Xu Jing and scolded her for her lack of love.
In fact, Xu Jing still has some love for pets, but although the hamster is cute, Xu Jing is a girl after all. She instinctively hates mice and other things, and she is very worried about the mutated dangerous species of Hongchen. I don't know which one day she will hurt herself and her grandfather. So she secretly put a cat in the house, trying to eat the little hamster or scare it away. Unexpectedly, after a dazzling cat-and-mouse war, the cat was scratched by the red dust and ran away in confusion, which made Xu Jing shocked.
Although Xu Yifan, who was taking a nap at that time, could not witness this wonderful cat and mouse war, he was awakened by the cat's call. He was suddenly very angry and stared at Xu Jing, saying that if Hongchen had a relationship, he would fight with Xu Jing for his life, so that Xu Jing would no longer dare to care about Hongchen. Eyes. In fact, since then, Hongchen has also hid when he saw Xu Jing and never gave her a chance to do it again.
A strange little hamster, just accompanying an old man who is over the age of age, silently spends his life and death.
Xu Jing even suspected that if Hongchen's life was long enough, Xu Yifan might bring it into the ancestral tomb of the Xu family a hundred years later.
But just the day before yesterday, Hongchen, who had never left Xu Yifan for half a step, suddenly disappeared.
Because Xu Jing has always disliked Hongchen, and has mentioned the destruction of humanity, and is even a suspect in the "cat entering the house" incident, Mr. Xu first suspected that Xu Jing had hidden the world, so he asked an angry question. Xu Jing, who couldn't laugh or cry, was coquettish for a while and lost his temper for a while. Finally, she bet on a curse and made a poisonous oath. Only then did Xu Yifan reluctantly believe that his granddaughter was innocent, so he had to entrust people everywhere to find the whereabouts of Hongchen. He couldn't find it at home, and expanded the search scope to the whole community.
But in such a large community, it is not easy to find a small hamster the size of a thumb. A group of people have been looking for it for two days, but there is still no clue.
Xu Yifan, who was eager to think that everyone was not careful to find it, and once again suspected that Hongchen was hidden by Xu Jing, so he played tricks. Today, he refused to eat all day. Just now, he officially announced that he was on hunger strike, claiming that he would share life and death with Hongchen. According to his words, "If you want to see a rat, if you die, you will see a corpse". If Xu Jing and the others don't find the world, he won't live.
"Do you think my grandpa is fooling around? He is over 70 years old and has a child's temper. What if he really starves to death? How can I explain to my parents? Shi Chen, Fan Fei, please give me some advice quickly. After Xu Jing finished speaking, she sighed for a long time, with a panicked look at a loss.
Xu Jing didn't want to say these things to Fan Fei, but at this time, when she heard about her grandfather's hunger strike, she was confused for a moment. She regarded Fan Fei, a man, as a dog-headed military division, and said the cause and effect. In addition, Ding Shichen also added a lot of information, so before she walked to Yixiang Garden, Fan Fei I have figured out the situation in Xu Jing's family, and I have a clear understanding in my heart.
"Maybe I can help you find the world, provided that it hasn't left the community."
Fan Fei pondered for a while and smiled.
Fan Fei believes that it should not be difficult to find a small hamster with his own power, but the benefits are obviously not small. For example, now you can ask Xu Jing to say hello to the doorman for the reason of helping Xu Jing's family find a pet. During this period, you can enter and exit Yixiang Garden openly and freely. If you can find Hongchen, it certainly helps Xu Jing, and even if you can't find it, it is very helpful to ask Guo Qin for money. I won't suffer losses anyway...
No matter how you look at it, it's like a good idea to kill two birds with one stone.

(The pet condom "Hongchen" provided by the book friend "BOBBOY" (Grey) appeared. To explain, this book has a detailed outline, and the main line will basically not move. The dragon set is mainly used for the side plot, or replace the characters initially set in the original outline with the book friend's set, so it will basically not affect the main plot. For example, BOB's mouse condom is a pet dog in the original outline, but now it's just changed, hehe.
In addition, thank you for the wonderful long comments written by Huashan Book Group "Magic Apa Meow" and enthusiastic book friend "Honest and Cute Langjun", and put forward a lot of good suggestions, so continue to discuss at the top, hehe.)
