After hearing the noise, Richard tilted its head and saw Pi coming down the tree. ”Why are you coming down? Did you get the dogwood?”
Pi looked at him, confused.
Richard shook its head. ”Just like rotten wood can't be carved, you can't be educated!”
Fu Tao was surprised to see the black-and-white cat return with the monkey, he didn't that they'd return. He had enough rest, so he walked over to relieve Zhang Zian. ”Take a break. I'll take over.”
”It's fine. I'm not tired.”
Zhang Zian wasn't trying to impress anyone, he just wasn't tired.
Fu Tao took off his white working gloves and tossed them to Zhang Zian. ”Put them on, or else you'll get blisters.”
Zhang Zian stuck the shovel in the ground and put the gloves on as his palms were indeed becoming red.
Famous ran towards the tree with Zhang Zian's thermos in its mouth. The thermos was filled with hot tea from the pet shop.
Zhang Zian poured some of the tea into the thermos cap and drank.
”Master Fu, would you like a cup?” he asked out of courtesy.
”What is it? Tea or alcohol?” Fu Tao leaned over and looked in the thermos cap.
”Tea,” Zhang Zian replied.
Fu Tao shook his head. ”I'll pass. I'm not thirsty, I just drank some water.” He pointed at Famous. ”Your dog is well-trained and very smart. It knows to fetch water for you.”
”It's okay.” Zhang Zian smiled. He gave the thermos back to Famous, and Famous took the thermos back to the foot of the tree. ”Zhan Tian, the dog I took home from here, is a good dog, too.” He picked the shovel back up to continue digging.
Fu Tao tried to remember Zhan Tian, then answered, ”That dog was too timid. It's only good as a pet.”
”You're wrong,” Zhang Zian corrected him. ”Had it not been for Zhan Tian, Ning Lan would have never found her dog.”
He didn't add, ”If Ning Lan had never found her dog, she wouldn't have been here with her friends to help.”
Fu Tao was astonished. ”What happened?”
”Didn't Ning Lan tell you?” Zhang Zian asked.
Fu Tao remembered now. ”She mentioned it once, but I had no idea that Zhan Tian was the one who helped get her dog back.”
”Zhan Tian is amazing.” Zhang Zian started to dig and while he did, he told the story of how Zhan Tian tracked the dog trappers and jumped into their car to stop them from getting away. He might have exaggerated some details.
”Really?” Fu Tao asked doubtfully.
”When you have time, ask Ning Lan for the details. She tells the story better than I do.” Zhang Zian smiled, and stopped to point at the hole. ”Is this deep enough or should I dig deeper?”
