”Talking endlessly of secular attachments, speaking endlessly of the world's debts and grudges, from one generation to the next, exists fate.
”Shedding the same blood, drinking the same water, this road is long and far-reaching.
”A red flower naturally has green leaves. Who'll accompany me in this life? There are many comings and goings.
”Past circumstances can reappear. Even though the lotus root was broken, its threads are still connected, sighing softly at the ever-changing events of the world.”
Famous heard music coming from the TV downstairs. Old Time Tea must be watching old Kung Fu dramas again.
The scenery of the valley and the taste of roasted potatoes faded away quickly. It opened its eyes and saw the familiar second floor of the pet shop.
Faint morning light shone through the window, so it turned off the night light.
It woke up a bit late today. Zhang Zian and the other elfins were already up, leaving only it and Pi upstairs. Pi was sitting in front of the computer. It heard the sound of the night light shutting off and turned its head.
”Eek,” Pi said shyly.
”Good morning.” Famous stood up and shook its fur.
Pi smiled, then turned back to the computer and continued typing gently, so as not to disturb Famous.
Two brown poodles were lying in the corner, one big and the other small. They were the poodles Famous and Old Time Tea rescued yesterday.
Compared to how dirty they used to be, they looked so much better, Famous barely recognized them. Now, their fur coat was fluffy and shiny, their bellies were full, and they slept in a warm room. They hadn't woken up until now. They cuddled together, as if they were trying to stay out of the way.
Famous smelled detergent coming from downstairs. Maybe Zhang Zian was doing the laundry.
It stretched, opened a pack of gum by pressing on it next to the cushion, and took three sticks into its mouth to chew. The gum had sugar, it wasn't sugar-free, since it heard Zhang Zian say that an ingredient in sugar-free gum was deadly to dogs.
There were lots of people on the street, the sound of neighbors greeting each other could be heard from a distance. Usually, at this hour, the streets were much quieter.
”Hey, it's you! You're hunting, too? How many did you catch?”
”I didn't catch any.”
”Neither did I, we heard about this too late. I heard that animals escaped from some breeding base last night, and lots of people were hunting them down all night. A guy in my neighborhood came back late after drinking, and caught three dogs and two cats all by himself.”
”That's crazy, we just missed a billion bucks!”
”Yeah, what a master hunter.”
”They escaped a breeding base? I heard that a few trucks that were transporting the animals flipped on the highway?
”No, they definitely escaped from a breeding base. How many animals can a few trucks carry anyway? Someone posted on Weibo that the employees of a breeding base up north were negligent and didn't shut the gate, allowing the animals to escape. I also heard that the breeding base had been abusing the animals, videos of the abuse were posted online. They're in the middle of a fight with some big bloggers on Weibo.”
