[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

After the agreement was reached, Guangling Mo left the inn in a hurry, and the remaining three were divided into two groups. Congyang continued to check the list, Chuqi sent Shen Xi back first, and then continued the task that he received in the morning.

Of course, Chu Qi wouldn't tell Shen Xi even if Chu Qi killed him for the purpose of observing how big a threat Ba Ba was to him.

On the way back when Shen Xi carried the raccoon cat in the basket, it took Chu Qi a lot of effort to persuade her to give up the idea of ​​going to Mount Putuo to buy seafood immediately.It is not easy for a person who is used to keeping silent to speak so much.

In the same way, the civet cat can't eat such things as seafood, and Chu Qi's heart is really happy.But what bothered him more was that Shen Xi told him to remember to bring a fish before coming back at night.

Chu Qi imagined living with this cat under the same roof for half a month, and everyone eating fish together, suddenly felt that the raccoon cat's eyes were full of a mixture of pride and happiness. The subtle look of beating.

I was thinking of finding an opportunity to educate this cat that robbed the territory as soon as it came, by means of dealing with Li Goudan. Baba seemed to be aware of it, raised his paw and licked it, looked at Chu Qi provocatively, and twisted He stood up unsteadily, climbed onto Shen Xi's arm along the handle of the basket, and jumped onto the little girl's shoulder in a few strokes.

"The cat is down, it's heavy..."

Shen Xi half blamed and half helplessly put down the basket, mentioned the raccoon cat that was catching her hair accessories, then scratched its chin, and responded to her with a long and drawn meow, which sounded like a spoiled child.

Baba changed to face outward in the little girl's hands, and then he was pinched with a fluffy little paw, turned around following Shen Xi's movements, and shook Chu Qi who was beside him.

"Hello, I'm Baba, I've been bothering your house these days, meow~~~"

The little girl held the civet cat with a bright smile, imitating the tone of the cat and said.

Chu Qi turned his head quickly, and a suspicious red appeared on the tips of his ears. He felt that if it was a little later, the red might spread to his face.

"Is it ugly?" Shen Xi let go of the hand that was pinching the small pad of the cat's paw in disappointment, hugged Baba in her arms, and then was licked by the raccoon cat soothingly, "...Actually Chu Qi is not You like fluffy things, right?"

"..."

In fact, Chu Qi doesn't hate fluffy things. In fact, he is quite willing to smooth the fur of the fluffy bunny that Shen Xi turned into in his dream, but the crux of the problem is that as long as the fluffy things Appearing, it means that in the eyes of the little girl, his sense of existence will be reduced a bit.

Originally, there was already a Li Guer who brushed his presence every day, plus Li Goudan and mummy who came from Congyang, now there is a more threatening Baba, not to mention there are a bunch of them in the bamboo sea in the middle of Shu Black and white bear... With Miss Shen's fraternity of liking every furry she sees, Chu Qi feels that she is likely to become the one at the bottom.

But he didn't want Shen Xi to notice this kind of thinking at all.

"...This subordinate doesn't... hate cats," Chu Qi said after hesitating for a moment, "It's just that the cat's claws are very sharp, and this subordinate is worried that Miss Xi will be scratched."

Hearing this, before Shen Xi could react, Ba Ba quickly put the pointed nails that were exposed outside into the pads of his flesh, then rubbed the back of Shen Xi's hand with his small hairy claws, and bared at Chu Qi in a demonstrative manner. teeth, then yawned, lying in Shen Xi's arms, and closed his eyes.

"..."

Chu Qi felt that she should be the one who bared her teeth at this time... What's the matter with this sense of sight like kicking a door?

The sense of crisis lasted until the evening. After completing today’s ranking, I bought fish and came back. I didn’t see Shen Xi or the raccoon cat. I asked Li Baoer who was sulking in the well. Baba went to take a shower.

By the time Chuqi rushed outside the bathroom anxiously, the priest of Tianfu had already poked at the door with a wet cat in his arms.

"Where's Miss Xi?"

Cong Yang pointed to the bathroom with the door closed: "Just now I played with bathing the cat for a long time...then threw the cat to me and ran to take a bath by myself."

While talking, Cong Yang used a small spell to quickly dry the raccoon cat's fur. She has kept dogs for many years, and she is more skilled than Shen Xi in bathing and feeding pets.

It turned out that they didn't wash together... Chu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly realized that his reaction seemed to be a bit too much, and immediately pressed his fist to his lips, and cleared his throat in a disguised manner.

"Sore throat?"

Cong Yang turned his head to look at Chu Qi, and asked suspiciously, his eyes followed Chu Qi's face, and he immediately understood the spirit, "Oh, what do I think, you seem to want to go in~~~"

"...and please don't talk nonsense to the priest of Tianfu." Chu Qi said seriously.

You've been told that you're thinking centrally, you've turned into anger... Cong Yang curled his lips, and you continue to deceive yourself, anyway, besides you and Second Miss Shen—or maybe the high priest is also added? ——Everyone understands.

The cihuamao, which was restlessly moving back and forth in Congyang's arms and rubbing its chest, seemed to have thought of something, its round eyes blinked a few times, its eyes turned a few times between the bathroom and Chu Qi, and its body relaxed and nestled together. The ball of fur made a pleasant purring sound.

This family seems to be quite interesting, and they can have a good time playing meow~ Baba thought happily, even the matter of being pushed into the water by the little girl and snoring, he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Chu Qi naturally couldn't understand what the cat was thinking. Although he suspected that Baba wanted to make trouble again, there was no evidence, but when it came to cats...he looked around, but he didn't find any trace of the big white dog. He didn't know where he went to have fun .

While thinking about it, he involuntarily glanced at the bathroom—could it be inside?

For a moment, he really planned to break in and find out that stupid dog who didn't behave well, and then threatened him, but in the next second, he saw a big white dog rubbing against the side, with a face full of tears. Looking sadly at the cihuamao in Congyang's arms.

"I told you not to flirt, look, are you looking for smoke?" Congyang gloated and rubbed Li Goudan's face, "Ba Ba is also very powerful!"

Seeing that Chu Qi seemed a little puzzled, Cong Yang lifted Baba in his arms and showed its paws: "Li Goudan wanted to tease Baba earlier, but Baba slapped him far away!"

Chu Qi thought seriously about the possibility of driving cats and dogs into the air and reaping the benefits of the fisherman himself.

——He never admits that he has ulterior motives.

"Huh?" The bathroom door opened from the inside, Shen Xi poked her head out while rubbing her wet hair with a dry cloth towel, "Are you all waiting for a bath?"

"Sure, it's so hot today, wouldn't it be more comfortable to change into cool clothes after taking a shower, and have a refreshing dinner?"

Cong Yang said it as a matter of course, and by the way, he picked up Baba's nape and handed the raccoon cat to Shen Xi, "Here, the fur is dry."

Just as he was about to reach out to take the cihuamao, unexpectedly, the cat twisted its body and broke away from Shen Xi's claws, jumped onto Li Goudan's head, and let out a triumphant meow.

To this, Li Goudan's reaction was jumping around, shaking his head, and spinning around in place. He also tried to scratch the back of his head with his paws, tried his best, but failed to get the raccoon cat off his head. Lie down tired with tongue out.

"Do you like Li Goudan more?" Shen Xi blinked, looking at the raccoon cat holding Li Goudan's ears and neck, "Since this is the case... I don't want to go to the kitchen after taking a shower , there is no fish to eat today, can I ask Li Goudan to play with you to make up for it?"

Baba tilted his head and thought for a while, with his beard raised forward, he let go of one of his front paws holding Li Goudan's ear, and stretched his little short toe, leaving two paws standing upright.

"Are you trying to say... do you want to eat two fish tomorrow?" Shen Xi covered her mouth and smiled, "I won't eat at all... no problem!"

Baba nodded, and retracted his paws in satisfaction.

Chu Qi silently looked away.The last time I made such a deal with Shen Xi—Princess Disease—he was thrown into the well on the spot... The difference in treatment was really obvious, no wonder he kept sulking and didn't come out to sneer.

However, what seems to be missing?correct……

Chu Qi remembered that when she went to look for Li Gu'er at the well just now, the corpse of her husband who usually squatted by the well was gone.

Normally, this would be impossible, but thinking about the addition of a cat that had just arrived and successfully occupied the commanding heights today... He probably knew the reason.

"Miss Xi, why don't you see that mummy today?" Although I understand it in my heart, I still have to put on a face. If Shen Xi sees his hostility towards the raccoon cat, it will be very important for formulating a plan to fight the fluffy cat in the future. Not good.

Hearing Chu Qi's question, Shen Xi had a very strange expression on his face, as if he wanted to laugh but was holding back.

"You said Lala..." The little girl knelt down and scratched Baba's ears and chin with her fingers, "It was scratched off by Baba this afternoon, and it is hiding in the warehouse to cut bandages. I dare not come out to meet people until the cloth is wrapped."

Chuqi was silent.Lala is Shen Xi's name for the mummy. It is said that in the country ruled by the mummy, the pagan gods believed by the subjects are only the sun god called Ra, so the king who symbolizes the son of God——Pharaoh, also became the name of Lala. Son, and Shen Xi directly simplified it into a double-character name...

Of course, Shen Xi would not tell the former pharaoh about the new meaning of the word Lala in later generations.

"What the hell are you doing, untouchable? It's fun to get a cat back to make trouble, isn't it?!"

The pair of mummy and ghost, who pursue and are pursued like magic, is basically bound by everyone here by default. When one of them is mentioned, or if one of them appears, the other will inevitably follow.Chu Qi thought of Lala before, and Li Guer's appearance at this time fully proved this point.

"You're not cute."

Shen Xi said frankly, "It's not as fun as Ba Ba."

... So Miss Xi, is the criterion for you to judge whether it is useful or not is whether it is fun or not?

To be honest, in Chu Qi's opinion, Li Bao'er is still superior to Baba in terms of practicality, at least her ability to take care of the home is unmatched.From staying in the well to now, even if I don’t do anything, I lie on the mouth of the well every night to watch the stars and the moon. The snitches and thieves who were scared off by Her Royal Highness can gather enough for two polo teams to practice.

In terms of anti-theft, Li Gu'er has a much greater advantage than the dog in the family. The most obvious point is that she doesn't need to sleep and her voice is loud enough.

As for Li Goudan? ...It is worthy of its appetite if it does not help the thief carry things.

To sum up, even though Chu Qi had previously considered removing Li Baoer once she lost her toy use, but for the sake of her newly developed anti-theft function, he decided to keep it for now—— Anyway, raising ghosts doesn't cost money or take up space.

"You actually compare me to a cat?"

Her Royal Highness was trembling with anger, and her whole body exuded a sinister aura, "Isn't this palace even worse than a cat?!"

"The cat's appearance is always cute... don't you understand?" Shen Xi spread his hands regretfully, "Compared with an animal, are you not afraid of falling in price?"

Is it reasonable to reverse black and white? !The will-o'-the-wisps came out behind Li Bao'er.

"...How about the account of the mummy? You don't care?"

Shen Xi looked at Her Highness the Princess in surprise, as if she could see a real flower from her translucent face like a flower.

"Lala hides and doesn't see anyone, so she can't pester you... Don't you like the feeling of being pursued by it?"

My brother saved my raised princess's disease, which turned out to be a shaky S!If I had known, I would have thrown it away!

"...I don't care about a pariah like you anymore!!!"

Chu Qi blankly looked away.He felt that this scene was very similar to the quarrel between two brats in the neighbor's house yesterday.

But having said that, he hadn't seen anyone win when he quarreled with Second Miss Shen—not counting his own words.
