The Cat and the King [Interstellar]

After a night of no dreams, Ren got up early, looking at Ding Dong who opened his eyes in a daze beside him, feeling at ease.

In a few days, the ancestor worship will be held, and only Ren can be present in the entire Ren family. At this time of the year, Ren always can't sleep all night, but it's different now.

After pressing down the quilt, Ren put on his clothes and walked to the courtyard. A huge box was placed in the yard, and the top of the box was covered with black cloth, probably to prevent the things inside from being dusted.

Ren opened the cloth, and there were some strange gadgets inside, many of which could not be bought in the market, and were all made by the housekeeper himself.

These are Ren's childhood toys. When he was a child, Ren wanted to be a mecha warrior, so most of these toys are used to practice simple mech operations, which are very suitable for Ding Dong now.

Wiping the garden chairs with a handkerchief, Ren sat down, took out the toy parts from the box one by one, and sat there to start assembling.

Ding Dong didn't stay in the bed for long, and a head popped out from the door of the villa after a while.

Quietly ran to Ren's side, Dingdang looked curiously at the things in Ren's hand.

Just when one was assembled, Ren handed over the parts to Ding Dong.

"Try and see if you can disassemble it." Ren said, the parts he held in his hand were a reduced version of the mecha parts, which were completely made according to the real mecha. The assembly of the mecha requires more than talent , and also exercised the dexterity of his fingers. If Ding Dong wants to become a mech warrior, his fingers need to be trained the most.

Ding Dong picked up the parts and played with them in his hand. Ren found a part and demonstrated it to Ding Dong. During his student days, Ren’s highest record was that it took about 2 minutes to disassemble a mecha and assemble parts. The shortest record so far.

Disassembling parts is a technical job. In the mecha course, a mecha warrior needs to deal with various unknown situations in the universe, which requires them to know enough about their mecha. Ren remembers wanting to assemble his own mecha in college. Jijia, unfortunately...he left without graduating.

Ding Dong looked at it seriously, his eyes seemed to be glued to Ren's hand, watching the movement speed of the fingers that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and the crisp "click" sound from the parts, he found it very interesting.

The small parts fell apart under Ren's operation and lay in the box.

Ding Dong pulled Ren's sleeve, took out a new part from the box, and stuffed it into Ren's hand.

"again."

"Then I'll do it again slowly." Ren slowed down this time and disassembled the parts step by step. The assembly of the mech is more difficult than the disassembly, but as the top technology of the empire, it does not mean that it is easy to disassemble. Students majoring in mechs need to scrap a lot of parts to be successful when they first start learning.

Ding Dang watched carefully, and Ren explained while dismantling it. After ten minutes, the small parts lay in the box by category.

Ding Dong looked at the large parts in his hand, then closed his eyes, as if he was recalling the steps and content of Ren's operation just now, and then his hands started to move.

Ren, who originally planned to continue assembling, was attracted by Ding Dong's operation very slowly, but because of his slowness, Ren discovered that Ding Dong's actions that require two steps can be easily synthesized into one step. A beginner is different, most people remember the action of disassembly, but what Ding Dong's strange little head memorizes is the result.

Because he was not placed in a textbook-like frame, and he was disassembled at will according to his own ideas.

Quietly starting the timer, he wanted to see how long it would take Ding Dong to disassemble the parts.

How long did I learn how to disassemble the parts by myself, a whole day, repeatedly watching videos and disassembling drawings, and then completely disassembled the parts, which took 20 minutes, but now Ding Dong can only watch his own demonstration twice. Do it independently, and it's been correct so far.

Whether it is concentration or memory ability, Ding Dong is top-notch.

Time passed by every minute and every second. Ding Dong held the parts and studied them repeatedly. The speed became faster as he got to the back. It seemed that he had mastered the trick. The parts were disassembled little by little. When the last part was disassembled, Ren took a look at it. The time was exactly 25 minutes. Except for the time delay at the beginning, Ding Dong operated like a veteran who had already experienced several times.

The little orc sat on the grass next to him, and handed over the small box containing the parts he had disassembled to Ren. Ren couldn't help laughing at his proud appearance.

"Very powerful." Ren stretched out his hand and rubbed his head.

Pulling Ding Dong up from the ground, Ren put the toy in his hand in the frame, Ding Dong stretched out his hand again and took it back, holding it in his hand.

"After you study cultural lessons every day, I can accompany you here to play with toys for two hours." Now Ding Dong has not fully adapted to human life, so cultural lessons are still the first.

Dingdang nodded, reluctantly put the metal parts back into the box, and then followed Ren into the room to wash. The butler stood not far away, watering the plants in the garden. He watched the two disappear In the villa, it seems that since Jingdang came to this home, the old house of Rennes has come back to life.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of worshiping the ancestors.

But today, Ren's family is no longer just Ren and the housekeeper. Ding Dong is making a lot of noise in the villa, lying on the ground holding parts and playing with great joy.

Ryan has a good understanding of Ding Dong's temper. The three major pleasures in life are eating, plush balls and mechanical parts. As long as they have these Ding Dong will become very talkative.

The sweeping robot is running around at home. On the day of worshiping the ancestors, the housekeeper will clean everything inside and out of the house, and then cook a few dishes that the old man and his wife loved to eat. This year is even more solemn, because the young master go home.

Ren was busy with the affairs of the fleet and hadn't been home for more than three years. This year he was finally at home, so he had to pay respects to his ancestors, so the housekeeper got busy early in the morning.

The sergeant was forced to follow his father inside and out to prepare, prepare meals, pick flowers in the garden, and was not idle like a spinning top. On the contrary, Ryan hadn't appeared since the morning, and Ding Dong couldn't find Ryan. I sneaked into the box and took a part ball to play with until now.

The sweeping robot bumped into Ding Dong who was lying on the ground motionless. He played with the mech parts for several hours. He might be tired now. He collapsed on the ground and fell asleep with his tail in his arms. Xia Ye just opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out his claws and overturned the robot vacuum cleaner, and then fell asleep again.

In the set program, there are no obstacles in this area of ​​the house, so he and the sweeping robot on the jingle bar finally turned over and circled around the little orc a few times, then connected himself with a high-power vacuum cleaner and started Draw furry into Jingle's ear.

In the concept of a robot, the fluff that appears in the home is the dust gathered together, which should be sucked away.

Ding Dong, who woke up immediately, pulled out his ears, stretched out his claws, and hit the sweeping robot. The strange force smashed the shell of the sweeping robot out of a depression, and Ding Dong jumped up from the ground and escaped in an instant.

The perpetrator, Ding Dong, smelled the fragrance not long after he ran away. The fragrance seemed to come from outside the villa.

Shrugging his nose, Ding Dong pushed open the door of the villa, and then walked towards the back of the garden.

At the back of the garden is the ancestral hall of the Wren family. There is a small building in which there are photos of family members and their respective achievements. Behind the small building is the cemetery, where generations of Wren family members are buried. , and the fragrance came from the small building.

Ding Dong entered the small building, several bottles of red liquid were placed on the sacrificial table, the strong aroma of grapes leaked from the bottle mouth, and there were many delicacies on the table.

Ding Dong's eyes were shining, it lay on the table, then quietly opened a bottle of liquid, and then lightly tasted it with its tongue.

The sweet and pure taste filled his mouth in an instant, rushing to his forehead, Ding Dang's face turned red, and he sat there dazed.

"Huh? Where is Ren?" Ding Dong felt that this food was delicious, and wanted to share it with Ren, but his brain couldn't keep up with his body. He turned his head slowly and found that Ren was not around, so Holding a bottle of red liquid, he walked out of the small building unsteadily.

Headed to the cemetery of the Ryan family.

He walked slowly, squatting back and forth from time to time to sniff the flowers in front of the tombstone. These flowers were just picked and placed in front of the tombstone by someone to pay homage to the departed souls. Scared, but Ding Dong didn't have that many thoughts.He just felt that the place was extremely quiet.In a daze, Ding Dong seemed to see Ren, this man was sitting in front of a tombstone, as if he was thinking about something.

Ren was sitting in front of a tombstone. Today is the day of worshiping the ancestors, and his heart is getting heavier.

There was a rustling sound not far away, Ren looked up and saw the furry Jingdong wrapped in the winter, squatting on his buttocks, smelling the flowers on the grave, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, which is the housekeeper's unique recipe The brewed wine, judging by Ding Dong's appearance, seems to be drunk.

"Hee hee." Ding Dong, who got up from the ground, turned his head and saw Ren, and then he flew over and threw himself on Ren, with the wine bottle dangling in his hand, looking at Lei with watery eyes. Well, then he smirked and stuffed the wine bottle into the man's hand and said intermittently.

"Ray...well, drink...delicious."

The author has something to say: Ding Dangdang drunk! ! !The wine is not good and I like to go crazy hahaha.

ps; I saw that some readers had some questions about the last chapter, so here is an answer, why Atlans said that Ryan would arrange a room but went to sleep in the basement.

Atlans is a very careless person with a big personality. He chose to escape immediately after he had a slight sense of Ryan's feelings for him, and ordered Ryan to find a servant to clean up a room, but Ryan understood , If you want to stay longer at Atlans's house, you need to reduce your sense of existence and not embarrass Atlans, so he didn't ask the maid and went to the basement automatically.
