Chapter 59 loki is gone

Thousands of soldiers died in battle, food became less and less, and everyone lived in an atmosphere of fear, but summer came as usual.Whether it is a country that is victorious in war or a country that is defeated, the sun sends its light equally. The summer vacation is over, and Xiaodoudou returned to her own home in Tokyo from her uncle's house in Kamakura. Summer vacation activities such as the happy camping spent at Ba Gakuen, the trip to Toi Onsen, etc., can no longer be held.The summer vacation spent with the teachers and classmates of the school cannot be experienced again.Moreover, the house in Kamakura where Xiaodoudou lives with her cousins ​​every year is completely different from the previous summer.Usually, a big brother from a relative's family always told everyone ghost stories vividly, scaring the children to cry, but this big brother had already gone to serve in the army.Therefore, there are no ghost stories anymore.Moreover, my uncle would usually tell the children stories about his life in the United States. I don't know if it is true or if my uncle made it up. Anyway, it is very fun.However, this year my uncle is also on the battlefield. He is a first-class photojournalist named "Shuji Taguchi".

However, since my uncle served as the director of the New York bureau of "Nippon Shimbun" and the representative of the Far East region of "Metro News", more people only know him as "Xiu Taguchi". This British name is more widely known than his real name. .Uncle is father's older brother, and the age difference between father and father is the smallest, but because only father has followed their mother's surname, so their names are different. In fact, father should also be "Mr. Taguchi". "Battle of Rabaul" filmed by my uncle, as well as other newsreels, were screened in cinemas one by one.However, only the film was sent back from the battlefield, but there was no news from my uncle, and my aunt and cousins ​​were very worried.The adults in the relatives said that because the photojournalist always wanted to take pictures of people in dangerous situations, he had to enter the dangerous area one step earlier than others, and then turned around to shoot the whole scene.If the photojournalist is following others, then he can only take pictures of the back.When there is no access, he must be at the forefront, try to pass through the area without roads, and shoot to the front or side. This is the job of a war photographer.If he waited for someone else to open up the road before he walked over, he would not be able to shoot newsreels of the war.Now, even the coastline of Kamakura is so worrying.

The funny thing is, the oldest boy in the uncle's family, named Aning, is one year younger than Xiaodoudou. Before going to bed, he likes to fall down while shouting "Long live His Majesty" under the mosquito net where Xiaodoudou and the others sleep. , pretending to die in battle.Ah Ning seriously pretended to be a soldier killed in battle several times, but for some reason, whenever he played the role of a soldier at night, he would fall into a drowsy sleep and fall from the porch in the middle of the night, waking everyone up. Xiaodoudou's father still has a job in Tokyo, so her mother stayed in Tokyo with her father.

The summer vacation was over, and there happened to be a big sister from a relative here who was going back to Tokyo, so she took Xiaodoudou home. As soon as Xiaodoudou got home, she went to find Loki as usual.However, Loki was nowhere to be seen.Not in the room, not in the yard, even searched in the greenhouse where Dad cultivated orchids, but he still couldn't find Rocky, Xiaodoudou became more and more worried.Normally, when Xiaodoudou came near the house, Rocky would jump out from somewhere and run to meet her, but now... Xiaodoudou walked out of the house, walked along the road outside, calling Rocky's name , but the familiar eyes, familiar ears and tail never appeared.Xiaodoudou thought to himself that maybe during the time he was out, Loki had already returned home, so he hurried back to watch.But Rocky didn't come home.Finally, Xiaodoudou asked her mother:

"Where's Loki?" Just now Xiaodoudou ran around anxiously looking for Loki, and her mother saw all this, so she was silent.Xiaodoudou grabbed her mother's skirt and asked again: "Hey, where's Loki?" Mom couldn't tell, but finally answered with difficulty: "It's... gone." Xiaodoudou can't believe it: Loki is gone! "when?" Xiaodoudou looked at her mother's face and asked again. Mother didn't know what to do, and said sadly: "After you went to Kamakura, within a few days..." Then Mom quickly added: "I've searched everywhere. I've been looking far away, and I've asked many people. But there's nowhere. Mom doesn't know what to say to you...I'm sorry..."

At this time, Xiaodoudou understood. Loki must be dead. "Mom said that because she was afraid that I would be sad, but Loki is dead." Xiaodoudou knew very well.Before that, no matter how far Xiaodou went, Rocky would never leave home.Because, Loki knew, Xiaodoudou would definitely come back. "Rocky is not going to go away without saying anything to me. He definitely won't!" Xiaodoudou is sure of this. Xiaodoudou didn't ask her mother any more questions, she understood her mother's mood, she just lowered her head and said: "Where will it go?"

After saying this, Xiaodoudou couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried to her room on the second floor.Without Loki's home, it even felt like someone else's home.Xiaodoudou came to her room, tried her best to hold back her crying, and thought about it again, that is, "Have you ever done anything bad to Loki? Is there anything that made Loki want to run away from home? Has there been?" Mr. Xiao Lin always said to the children of Ba Xueyuan: "Don't lie to animals. Animals trust you, and if you lie to them, they are too poor. If you say to a dog, 'Shake hands and I'll give you a snack', then after shaking hands, you must never give him nothing. .In that case, the dog will no longer trust you, and his personality will become bad."

Xiaodoudou has always adhered to this rule. She has never deceived Loki, and she really can't think of any reason that would cause Loki to leave. At this time, Xiaodoudou saw a strand of something sticking to the feet of the bear doll on the floor.Xiao Doudou, who had been trying not to cry all this time, saw this thread, couldn't help it anymore, and burst into tears.It was a strand of light brown hair, Loki's hair! It was the hair that fell from Loki's body when Xiaodoudou set off for Kamakura, rolling and frolicking here with him.Xiaodoudou picked up these sheepdog hairs, held them tightly in her hands, and cried for a long, long time.The tears and crying could not be stopped.

After Taiming, Xiaodoudou lost another closest friend.
