Chapter 293 His Cat (8)

On the table in the courtyard, the white cat was lying quietly on it, its long tail curled up into a ball.

Du Shiling stood by, with one hand still on top of the white cat's head, stroking it expressionlessly.

It feels very good, warmer than velvet, and it can warm your hands in winter.

Du San walked in carrying the cage, opened the mouth of the cage and stepped aside.

Du Xiao came in right after her. As soon as she saw the white cat crawling on the table, her eyes were instantly attracted.

"Brother, do you want to raise this cat?"

Du Shiling nodded, followed by grabbing the white cat by the back of the neck with one hand, and easily put it into the cage. The white cat in his hands never struggled or barked, as obediently as a rag doll .

Du Xiao was even more moved when he saw it.

"Brother, do you know how to raise a cat?"

"do not know."

"You've got to put a warm blanket in, or it'll freeze to death when it's so cold outside."

When Du Shiling heard this, a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.

"A cat has fur, so it's afraid of the cold?"

"Of course I'm afraid. You have to pay attention to food and housing. If you don't take care of it, you will die easily."

Du Xiao knew that Du Shiling hated trivial and troublesome things the most, so he wanted to give up his idea of ​​keeping a cat.

Unexpectedly, Du Shiling, who was on the side, spoke indifferently, raised his hand and closed the mouth of the cage.

"When you die, you die."

It was a very cold day, and hearing this sentence made people feel cold all over.

Du San silently looked at Du Xiao and said in a low voice.

"It's okay, master is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, this white cat will not die."

Fifth Miss likes small animals, and there are many cats, dogs, and rabbits in the yard. She wants this white cat because she is afraid that it will suffer here.

But there is no way, how can the things the master likes get someone else's turn.

Du Xiao reluctantly looked at the white cat in the cage, and finally told Du San.

"You have to add a blanket to it, or it will really freeze to death."

"Okay, I see."

Du San sighed helplessly.

Countless people have froze to death outside these years, and it is too normal for a cat to freeze to death.

But since it is a blessing to be taken a liking to by the master, as long as it stays in Du's house, the master will never treat it badly.

It snowed heavily in Lincheng that night, Du Shiling set off for the chamber of commerce before dinner, and stayed until almost midnight before returning home.

The driver turned on the headlights, and heavy snow like goose feathers fell from the sky, laying a thick layer on the ground.

"Hey"

A low sigh came out almost subconsciously.

The next second the driver panicked, fearing that he would spoil the mood of the boss.

Unexpectedly, Du Shiling, who was sitting in the back, took the initiative to ask.

"What sigh?"

"That's right. Thinking of the snow that never stops, the crops in the field are all frozen, and many people will starve to death this year."

The fertile land in the countryside is all owned by the big landlords. If the harvest is not good, the farmers will not have much left after paying the grain. Maybe some people's harvest is not enough to pay the grain.

Du Shiling listened silently, turned his face to look at the darkness outside the window, his cold and indifferent eyes could not stir up any waves.

The driver stopped talking along the way, and parked the car steadily at the gate of the side yard.

After getting out of the car, Du Shiling put on his hat and strode into the yard. The wind and snow behind him was blocked by the high-walled courtyard.

Du San stayed in the main courtyard all the time, when he saw the master came back, he went to meet him.

"I prepared a bowl of black chicken soup for you, drink it to warm your body."

Du Shiling took off his hat, brushed off the snowflakes on his body, and was just about to step into the room when he suddenly remembered something, and took a step back to look at a certain corner of the wall.

"Where's the cat?"

"It's too cold outside, so I sent someone to send the cat to the kitchen. Shortly after you left, Fifth Miss gave it a bath. You didn't see that the cat was as white as the snow outside. There is no stray hair, and the two eyeballs are still different colors, like glass beads, round and bright."

Du Shiling listened silently, the servant behind him helped him take off his coat and leather shoes, while Du San skillfully took off the watch from his hand, and gently put it in the drawer.

According to the usual practice, the master should go to bed after taking a shower, and occasionally look at the ledger and contract again.

But this Du Shiling didn't rush to take a bath, but ordered Du San to bring the cat from the kitchen.

When the cage was brought in, Du San was afraid of soiling the carpet, so he wrapped the base of the cage with a piece of cotton cloth, and placed it on the round table in front of Du Shiling.

The white cat in the cage had already fallen asleep, its thin body curled up into a ball, only the tip of its soft white ear was exposed.

"This cat has a big heart, and it didn't wake up when I mentioned it all the way."

Du Shiling took a look, and saw that the cat was much whiter than before. From a distance, it looked like a ball of warm white snow, and its slightly round belly was rising and falling. The man had already put his hand on it. There is no sign of waking up in its head.

After taking a bath, the white cat's fur becomes more fluffy and soft. When I put my hand on it gently, I feel soft and soft under the palm, especially the fur near the belly is softer, which makes people can't help but touch it. The strength on it increased.

Du Shiling's arm stretched in through the mouth of the cage, stroking the white cat's head, and with his slender fingers, he paid special attention to its small ears. Every time he touched it lightly, the tips of the ears would vibrate sensitively, flexible and cute.

Seeing that the little thing was still sleeping soundly under his hands, Du Shiling patted its head a little harder.

Sure enough, the white cat woke up, lazily and slowly raised its head and opened its eyes, its beautiful heterochromatic pupils dilated slightly, and when it saw the person who was petting it, it took advantage of the opportunity to arch its head against the man's palm, and the cat meow was still full of excitement. It's a little hoarse.

"Meow~"

"I never heard it bark when you were not around. Those who didn't know thought it was a dumb cat."

The corner of the man's lips curled up, the strength in his hands weakened a little, his five fingers buried in the snow-white hair and stroked back and forth, a low snoring faintly sounded in the quiet room.

Du Shiling was still a little puzzled, seeing that the little thing under him had squinted his eyes at some point, and made a sound like a bellows from his nose, which was low and shallow, not only not noisy, but made him feel a little rare easy.

After petting for about ten minutes, Du Shiling withdrew his hand and closed the cage again.

"Propose it."

"Well, then you have a good rest after drinking the chicken soup."

The white cat in the cage opened its eyes, and looked at Du Shiling quietly and obediently, until Du San lifted it out of the room.

Du Shiling was lying on the bed after taking a bath, and was about to close his eyes to sleep, but the hand on his chest subconsciously swayed up and down. The soft touch left in the palm had not faded away. It seems that I can still feel the crisp and numb feeling.
