C36 Chapter 36
"Where the hell have you been?" Early in the morning, I scolded blondie in the yard.
Blondie drooped his head and his ears drooped. He seemed to know that he had done something wrong and did not say a word.
"Why don't you just stay outside and don't come back. " This time, I'm really angry. The first night, I was busy entertaining President Daru and his wife. I told Blondie beforehand that I was going to treat, Warn him to be a good boy. After President Daru and his wife came, I was busy, and then. . . I never noticed what Blondie was doing. Who would have thought that Blondie would secretly run out again. After sending the Daru couple away, I realized that Blondie was gone. Outside and in my room. I searched the front yard and back yard, but the blondie was nowhere to be seen. I looked around the embassy. He even went to the seaside to look for him, but he didn't find any trace of blondie. It was already completely dark. I didn't go out to look for him again. Going out to look so late at night is also useless.
Blondie raised his head and looked at me. He walked to my side and circled around me. As he spun, he whimpered and licked my legs with his tongue. I know, this is the yellow hair begging me to forgive it.
"Go, go to the side. " I ignore the yellow hair. "If you continue like this, I'll send you off. "
The yellow-haired guy suddenly ignored him. I barked and ran towards the fence.
"Come back, where are you going?" I shouted at Blondie and followed. If Blondie really wants to leave, I definitely won't let him. I cursed him countless times in my heart for not being able to see him in one night. When I saw him come back in the morning, my heart inexplicably softened.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhong. " I suddenly heard someone greeting me.
"Good morning. " I looked up and saw that it was Balls who was standing outside the fence. The blondie was actually heading towards Balls.
"It's so early. What are you doing?" Balls asked.
"Nothing much," I said. "I'm teaching Blondie a lesson. It didn't come back last night, so I don't know where it went. "
"Wales, that's normal. This dog must be a male," Balls said very professionally. His tone was exactly the same as Brian's last time.
"Yes, it's a male dog," I said.
" That's right, it definitely went to find a girlfriend, "Balls said with a smile.
I was speechless. The blondie had been really restless recently. He often did dirty things for no reason. I originally wanted to find a veterinarian to sterilize him, but Gido doesn't have a veterinarian.
"You can bear it alone," Balls said with a smile. "This dog can't bear it. "
"What?" I was stunned. I thought that Powers would say that.
"I'm sorry, I was just joking. Count it as me not saying anything, count it as me not saying anything. " Balls must have heard that something was wrong with my tone, so he quickly went back to make up for it.
I didn't say anything. I just stared at Balls. I was furious and wanted to scold someone. The profanities rolled from my chest to my throat and I swallowed them. I couldn't imagine that the gentle and gentle Balls actually had another side to him and could say such words. He said that he was joking. He probably didn't want to offend me, but this joke isn't funny at all.
"Welle, I'll take my leave now. " Seeing that I didn't say anything, Balls quickly left.
"Goodboye. " I controlled my emotions and stiffly replied.
After taking a few steps, Balls retreated again.
"How about, Mr. Zhong?" Balls asked probingly, "Why don't you follow me to the sea?"
"I'm not going," I refused angrily. Balls' invitation gave me a chance to vent my unhappiness.
"Then let's do it next time," Balls said tactfully. With that, he took the fishing gear and left.
Ever since I moved to the new building, I've been neighbors with Balls and Yusufu. They often pass by my door, go out to sea to catch fish, and ask me to come along, whether intentionally or not.
The first time I saw Balls go fishing at sea, I was taking Blondie out for a walk. Balls is dressed in short hair and has a pair of slippers on his feet. He is carrying a fishing gear on his shoulders. Balls wore casual clothes that day, and he looked completely different from his usual formal attire. He looked much more robust.
"You're going out to sea to fish too?" I asked in surprise.
"Wales, if men don't fish, what can they use to raise their family?" Balls said with a smile, but his tone remained the same.
"Yeah, yeah," I said, embarrassed. Gidor men are all fishermen, even if they are officials. As civil servants, they have to go out to sea to fish. At first, I heard them say so. I don't believe them. Now that I personally saw a scholar like Balls set out to sea, I couldn't help but believe them. Looks like. . . This is their livelihood, and being an official is just a part-time job.
"Do you want to come with me?" Powers invites me.
"No, no," I quickly shook my head.
To be honest, it's not that I don't want to go. I want to go fishing at sea. The first survival skills of humans are hunting, fishing, and plucking fruits. Picking fruits can also be done by women. Hunting and fishing were men's business. So, for men, It was very difficult to resist the temptation of hunting and fishing. This was something that grew in their bones. Hunting. Before I even walked out of the mountain, I already felt the stimulation it gave me. When I was young, I often followed my father into the mountains to hunt wild rabbits. When I grew up, I also had my own gun. In that era, guns were not allowed. Father got it from somewhere. I used that gun to shoot a few hares. Every time I shoot a hares, I get excited for a few days. Fishing, I don't know, at most I've only caught a few small fish in a small river in the mountains. That can't be considered fishing. To be honest, Every time Balls and Yousufu invite me to go to the sea, my heart tickles. I really want to follow them to broaden my horizons. I want to see how they catch fish. I imagine going out to sea to catch fish must be full of excitement and fun.
But I can't go. I'm now guarding an embassy alone. It's my responsibility to avoid putting myself in danger. The day the flagpole was erected, When I went into the sea, it was actually putting myself in danger. Regarding this. . . I regretted it for a few days. I feel like I'm crazy, why would I indulge myself like this? I was allowed to swim in the sea. I wasn't afraid of ten thousand. I'm just afraid that if something happens. . . The embassy will have to close down. This was a matter of national importance. The strange thing was, sometimes, There would be another voice coming out to absolve him. It also made sense: I might get into trouble when I go into the sea. If I don't go into the sea, it doesn't mean that nothing will happen. When I reach Jido, I was hit by a motorcycle, and I was in danger twice on a plane. The bomb still exploded near the embassy. In terms of danger, there was no place without danger. Besides, Nothing happened to me when I went into the sea, right? I just need to be careful. The two opposing voices kept spinning in my head. When I pull the saw, sometimes the former gains the upper hand. Sometimes, the latter gained the upper hand. When the latter had the upper hand, I would bring Blondie to swim. Then, I would blame myself and regret it.
When Balls and Yusuf invited me to go fishing again and again, I rejected them without exception. At first, My words were resolute and resolute, and gradually, my tone became weaker and weaker. I quickly discovered that. . . The thought of going out to sea to fish had unknowingly taken root in my heart. At this point, swimming in the sea doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. The problem was whether he should follow Balls or Yusufu to chase the sea. The reason why he did not go was unshakable like a mountain, and the temptation of going was like the waves in the sea. What kind of experience would it be to chase the sea? I know how it feels to hunt in the mountains. Will going into the sea be as exciting as hunting?
Powers' joke might become the last straw that crushed the camel's back. What does Powers mean? He's clearly mocking me. He's mocking me for being too timid and not being able to control my emotions. Not manly enough. How could Powers understand? I didn't go out to sea to avoid risks. I have to protect myself. How could he know that I was a person who went into the mountains to hunt?
"I'll chase the sea," I said to Blondie, and then to myself, "Yes, I'll follow them to chase the sea. I'm going to let them see what I'm worse than them. "
Another day, on a Sunday, You Sufu passed by the embassy door.
I was just checking my vegetable field in the yard. The seedlings were not ideal. It seems like the attempt to plant the leaf vegetables will fail again. I've decided to go to the hillside behind to take a look. Madame Daru said that there is a type of moss there that can be eaten. The day before, I picked up some freshly bloomed chicken egg flowers in the yard. At night, as Madame Daru said, I used boiling water to boil them. Squeeze the water dry and then put in a suitable amount of oil and salt. Sugar, vinegar. He also added a few drops of soy sauce. After putting them in the sauce, he mixed them together. There were yolk, white, red and powder in the chicken egg. It looked colorful. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like a dish. However, it was a little chewy when it was eaten. The taste was not bad.
After looking at the vegetable field, I went into the house and took out a plastic bag. I called Blondie and just as I walked out of the embassy, I ran into Yousufu.
"Mr. Zhong, where are you going?" You Sufu asked loudly.
"Go to the hill behind us. " I said, raise the plastic bag in your hand, "Mrs. Daru said. There are some moss there that can be eaten as vegetables. I'm going to dig some. "
"Oh, right. There is a kind of edible moss there. It tastes pretty good. The women in my house often dig too, "Yusufu said. The woman he was talking about was the fat sister-in-law.
" I think you're going out to sea to fish? " I said.
"Yeah," You Sufu said and waved the fishing gear in his hand. "Come with me to fish. "
"M. . . " I said hesitantly. Yesterday, I seemed to have steeled my heart and insisted on following them to chase the sea. Now, for some reason, I hesitated again.
"Are you going or not?" You Sufu said.
"I'm going to dig moss," I shirked. If I wasn't a diplomat, I would have gone with you long ago, I thought.
"Moss? You can dig at any time," You Sufu said.
"I've never fished before," I found another excuse. If I wasn't alone at the embassy, I would've gone too, I thought.
"That's easy," Yousufu said, "You'll learn as soon as you learn, there's nothing difficult about it. "
"I'm seasick, so I'll delay your business," I said. I did experience the pain of seasickness once. I think this excuse will definitely scare Yousufu.
"You are taking a big boat, we are small boats," Yousufu said, "The big boat is stuck inside, and I will seasickness even without you. The boat is open, I promise you'll be fine. "
I didn't say anything. I don't have any more excuses.
"Are you afraid something will happen?" You Sufu said again, "Nothing will happen. We'll go out every day. "
I still didn't say anything. I'm afraid that something will happen. I can't say it out loud.
"We're not going to the deep sea, we're just by the shore," You Sufu added.
"Okay, I'll go," I said. I suddenly remembered what Balls said yesterday. I'll go all out and go out with Yusufu once, so that they won't stop.
"Really?" You Sufu was a little overjoyed.
"Yes, but I have a condition," I said.
"What condition? Just say it," You Sufu asked.
"We're not going to the deep sea," I said. Seaside is always safer than deep sea.
"No problem, we're not going to the deep sea," Yusufu agreed immediately.
"Can we bring the yellow hair?" I asked.
"We can't bring dogs," Yusufu said.
"Then I'll take care of Blondie and leave with you," I said through gritted teeth.
I went back into the house and prepared some food for Blondie. I comforted him with a few words of pity. Then, I followed You Sufu. This was the first time in my life that I went to the sea.
