Boyfriend said to give her two guinea pigs.
Mu Zi, who learned the news, hardly shouted out his heart.
She finally got a little pet. The fresh life that really belongs to her. It belongs to her and no one can take it away.
She once imagined that in order to thank her for feeding, two soft little bodies with body temperature clung to her legs and rubbed against each other. Imagine that as soon as her figure appeared in the room, two little guys came running happily.
Guinea pigs are spiritual, so she wants to keep them. She doesn't like to keep some fish and birds, because even if she keeps them for a year or two, she won't recognize herself and will not respond gratefully to her upbringing. However, it is more troublesome to have a cat and a dog. She still doesn't have that ability. Besides, the family will not agree. Guinea pigs are the most suitable spiritual pets!

I just bought a guinea pig and left it with my boyfriend. He went to college in his hometown city, and then I took it home when Mu Zi had a holiday.
The boy's dormitory where my boyfriend is located is dirty and messy, and the smell of smoke is often mixed with shouts of playing games.
Guinea pigs are timid, how can they stand all kinds of noise? Something as small as a guinea pig can't stand smoking so much second-hand smoke every day! She can already see the eardrums of the two little guys bursting gradually because of noise, and the heart and lungs are getting worse and worse because of inhaling smoke.

Worried for more than a month, Mu Zi finally took a winter vacation to pick up the guinea pig.
She couldn't wait to push open the dilapidated dormitory door, as excited as breaking through the encirclement of the enemy to rescue her imprisoned comrades. She rushed to the front of the metal cage and was surprised to find that the two little guys were alive and well, looking at Mu Zi with black eyes in the nest. At that moment, she was obviously disappointed, but Mu Zi didn't notice it. The excitement of seeing her things for the first time made her eager to open the cage and hug them.
At first, the little guy was very scared. He fluttered, but soon he found that there was no danger. He lay quietly between Mu Zi's elbows. Mu Zi is very satisfied with this.

The two little guys brought home adapted well.
Every day Mu Zi wakes up and just wants to get up, she hears those two cheerful shouts, and the stainless steel cage is banging with the sound of metal. Mu Zi hurried to the windowsill to get alfalfa grass. I don't know whether the two little guys knew there was food in the plastic bag or saw the green hay. As soon as they picked up alfalfa hay, they turned around and saw two guys standing on their hind legs, their front paws lying in the cage, jumping and screaming with their heads up. Angry and funny.
Watching two guinea pigs go straight into the trough like hungry, scratching their mouths and eating alfalfa quickly. It seems that for a moment, Mu Zi envied the two animals, and he was satisfied with eating and drinking. However, these guys really have enough to eat. Before going to bed, they filled both troughs and added some feed and vegetables. It was too late to put down the food in the cage, but they kept eating. It's best to change their schedules, just like themselves.

The days passed day by day.
Very dull.
It's so boring, I feel a little sick.
One day, she thought about bathing the guinea pig, and she already felt what the guinea pig smelled. Although this is a smell that all hairy animals have, it is not found in Mu Zi. Mu Zi smells of clean shower gel, or the unique body odor secreted by sweat glands and sebaceous glands after a day or two, which makes her smell very practical and comfortable. She can't adapt to the smell of guinea pigs, but she thinks there are too many bacteria on small animals.
I bought a disposable pet shower gel, which smells pungent, but at least it is fragrant, a little smelly and hairy than that.
When washing, guinea pigs seem disgusting, and so does Mu Zi. The smell is so strong that he can't stand it, let alone a guinea pig with a keen sense of smell. But it will be all right soon. If you endure it again, you will feel fragrant all over. So, Mu Zi silently told the guinea pig in his mind that he felt much better himself.
After washing, I was afraid that the little guy would catch cold, so I gave them a hair dryer and blew it intimately. As soon as the hair dryer blew, the two little guys jumped up like wild animals in an instant, and Mu Zi picked them up again. As a result, they are still nervous. Mu Zi couldn't bear to see them so scared, so he didn't continue. He put them next to the radiator, hoping to dry them quickly and not catch cold.
Add a slot as usual before going to bed at night.

I woke up the next day and had a comfortable stretch. Gee, the little guy didn't cry at all. Are you full this time? Mu Zi looked up curiously. One is lying on his stomach, and the other ... seems to be lying on his back. Wait, lie on your back? I've never seen a guinea pig in this state. A bad feeling, Mu Zi one foot across the past, kneeling beside the cage, Mu Zi saw, it is lying ... or. Mu Zi quickly reached out and touched it. At this moment, Mu Zi's mind rang with thunderous thunder-cold and wet, like a wet mop in winter. It is dead.
Mu Zi hurriedly turned to look at another person. Fortunately, he is still alive.
Mu Zi quickly reached out and hugged it, trying to keep it away from that one, which was death. But at the moment of gently touching it, its body will stumble and lean to one side. In my arms, his hair was wet, and his weak body was out of balance. Mu Zi almost collapsed in horror. Mu Zi hurriedly took it to the radiator, hoping that there was only some water vapor on it, and it would be all right when it dried.
Mu Zi stared at it with rapt attention, the only little guy left, and she regarded them as her own children.
However, it can't even stand still and lie down feebly. Mu Zi is scared silly, it can't die any more!
Mu Zi panicked, shaking and dialed her boyfriend's cell phone. As soon as she opened her mouth, she could not help crying. She didn't know what she said incoherently at that time. She only remembers that her boyfriend told her not to cry and explain what happened slowly. Her boyfriend's calm tone made her hear hope. Just like going to the hospital, the doctor calmly asks the patient to explain the development of the disease, and then calmly writes a prescription. Saved! Mu Zi gasped and cried, trying to make himself more coherent.
Her boyfriend showed her the way and told her to take him to the vet.
There are one or two pet shops in the square. Mu Zi immediately packed his bags and left, without even changing his pajamas, only putting on his coat. When you bring a guinea pig, you put a soft towel and carry it in a small cloth bag.
I don't remember whether it was cold that day, but she remembered that the road was difficult. Mu Zi was afraid of hitting the guinea pig, so she put one hand on her chest and the other on the handlebar. According to the old potholes, the wheels came straight over and tripped the cloth bag in her arms. Mu Zi was heartbroken, so she had to slow down as much as possible.

Finally arrived at the pet store. Mu Zi quickly gave him the guinea pig and gave a general description of the situation.
The shopkeeper fiddled with the guinea pig and asked a word or two briefly.
Mu Zi seems to feel a lot more relaxed, as if he has finally completed his mission, but he has not completely collapsed. In short, the guinea pig was saved. Mu Zi listened to every word the shopkeeper said, waiting to say how to save it.
"... caught a cold ... frightened ... some inflammation."
"Throw it away later, it's useless."
This sentence is the clearest.
Mu Zi didn't hear what he said later and went out crying.
It was discovered that the shapeless feces of guinea pigs were scattered all the way.
When pushing the cart, an elderly aunt came forward and asked what it was. Mu Zi cried and showed her the guinea pig. But my aunt didn't ask her because she knew what to do. After one look, she just kept comforting her gently, but Mu Zi didn't catch what she was comforting. Mu Zi continued to cry.

Mu Zi put the guinea pig on the table.
The guinea pig moved and had no strength to move.
That's it. You look at me, I look at you.
After a while, the words "cold", "fear" and "inflammation" whirled in Mu Zi's mind, and the guinea pig's breathing became weaker. Mu Zi suddenly got up to find anti-inflammatory drugs, ground them into powder and mixed them with water. Mu Zi gently lifted the guinea pig's head, parted its teeth and poured the soup. But I can't get down. It has a pair of black eyes, but it has no emotional expression. No complaints, no sadness, no doubts. She just looked at Mu Zi with her eyes open in despair, as desperate as Mu Zi, but less desirous than Mu Zi. This is for Mu Zi to fiddle with, and it is still innocent.
At that moment, Mu Zi some panic.
Mu Zi came to his senses and continued to decoct herbs forcibly, hoping for a miracle. Better than watching it die. The soup flowed out along the guinea pig's mouth, and it was muddy green mixed with grass.
Guinea pig's eyes are still black.
Suddenly, my body suddenly tilted and my mouth opened, as if I had taken a big breath.
So he leaned back and stood still, showing two tusks.
It is too long.

Mu Zi gently put the guinea pig on the towel with his hand. When Mu Zi dragged it out of the cage, he almost cried. Wrap it in a towel and put it in a bag. Put it in another bag with all the cushions, nests and toys for guinea pigs.
Mu Zi was frightened when he mentioned the bag of guinea pigs. Those are two bodies. Two lives that she gave and prayed for love are gone. At this moment, Mu Zi couldn't cry, only felt his heart was dying.
When I met an aunt or uncle on the road, Mu Zi forgot to say hello with a cold face. Walking to the green belt in the corner of the community, Mu Zi chose a clearing with dense green plants, grabbed a shovel and dug a few tens of centimeters. He lifted the bag again and gently placed it in the middle of the pit. Every shovel seems to bury a part of his body. I was afraid that wild cats and dogs would spoil them when they smelled it, so I went to find a stone and put it on it, fearing that it would hurt them too much. I chose a piece that is not particularly heavy and put it flat in the middle. Gently pressed the edge and sprinkled some hay.

For a long time, Mu Zi never mentioned that she had two guinea pigs, and she couldn't bear to look at the photos in her mobile phone, so she deleted them, leaving only a few photos on the Internet that she really didn't want to keep.
Mu Zi's life is still like that, as if he had never seen those two guinea pigs.
It's just that Mu Zi deeply remembers that young life is fragile. Mu Zi shouldn't have bathed them so early.
……
It's nothing.
Sometimes, when Mu Zi passes by the green belt on his way home, he will forget that there are two frozen lives.
