The days of being a cat in Japan

After a simple lunch, the Fujimoto family and the shop assistants, who had been busy all morning, decided to take a nap to recover their strength.

Mo didn't feel tired at all, so looking at the snot-soaked little raccoon sleeping next to him, it actually fell asleep as well.

After waking up from the afternoon nap, the weather outside changed a bit. Dark clouds piled up thickly on top of people's heads, which felt like they could be touched by reaching out.

The weather forecast on the TV said that it will snow tonight, and the amount of snow is expected to be moderate to heavy.

Hearing this news, some of the guests who came to soak in the hot springs were quite happy. After all, soaking in hot springs in heavy snow is a very romantic thing.

However, the hotel informed everyone through the broadcast that because of the slippery road in snowy weather, the two outdoor hot springs set up in relatively remote outdoor locations will be closed today and tomorrow, and only one outdoor hot spring will remain open.

As if she heard the voices of the guests, the radio lady reminded her warmly: "Guests, although it is very romantic to soak in the hot springs in snowy weather, please be careful to try it for the elderly, children and women who are afraid of the cold, because It is very easy to catch a cold. If you really want to enjoy the snow scenery, the private hot springs in the guest rooms are equipped with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which can fully meet your wishes. In addition, ice packs and cold medicine are available at the front desk for guests who need it You can get it here."

……

Although this radio lady is really conscientious, why does the last sentence of her warm reminder sound so awkward?

Because they didn't want to use the ice packs and cold medicine at the front desk, the Fujimoto family and the shop assistants stayed in the room obediently.

They either drank tea and looked at the snow scene outside, or soaked in the private hot spring inside the house, laughing and chatting with friends quietly, and the whole afternoon passed like this.

The dinner is a luxurious set meal specially customized by Dr. Fujimoto, in order to reward the employees who have worked hard for a year.

Due to the large number of people, the hotel opened a large private room for them.

Xu Jie, who was full early, was drowsy on the cushion, and he was not interested in the topics of those people who were still pushing cups on the table to connect with each other.

Originally, it wanted to go out for a stroll, but unfortunately it was snowing again outside.

Mo opened the Japanese-style wooden sliding door with a sense of age, and the cool wind blowing in from the outside immediately woke Xu Jie up a lot.

Seeing that there was no snow on the old-fashioned wooden corridor outside, Mo turned to Xu Jie and said, "At the end of the corridor, you can see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. Would you like to go and have a look?"

It's boring to stay in the house anyway, and those guys who are drinking to their heart's content look like they will have to eat for a while.

Instead of just sleeping in the house like this, it's better to go out for a walk, and treat it as a walk after a meal to digest food.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie stood up and followed Mo out of the hotel's private room.

The snow outside is not too small, but there is no wind.

The falling snowflakes fluttered straight up and down, and few fell into the corridor.

The windless snowy night was silent. Although it was cold outside, the air was fine.

Xu Jie took a deep breath, and the refreshing feeling made him feel better.

Jumping onto the railing on the outside of the corridor, Xu Jie squatted on it and stretched out his head to look at the scenery below the mountain. In the silent snowy night, the lights of thousands of families below the mountain seemed to be another world.

I felt the railing under the paws shaking slightly, and then the warm fur and familiar smell came over.

Xu Jie leaned his head directly on Mo's body, and the two cats quietly watched the dim lights below the mountain.

Although cats don't like being alone, if you have the opportunity to snuggle up with your favorite cat, it's also a good thing for two cats to enjoy the night view alone.

Just when Xu Jie was thinking so happily, Mo suddenly grabbed the back of its neck and jumped off the handrail of the corridor.

After landing, Mo quickly pressed Xu Jie under his body, arched his abdomen and the ground to leave space to hide Xu Jie, and lowered his head to reveal its sharp canine teeth.

Xu Jie, who was crushed underneath, was a little stupid. He didn't know what was going on outside, but from Mo's threatening growl, he knew that they should have encountered an enemy.

Strenuously poking his head out from under Mo's belly, and looking left and right a few times, Xu Jie found a raven sitting on the handrail of the corridor where they were just squatting.

This bird is the largest bird in the passerine order and is famous for its black plumage with azure blue streamers.

This kind of bird has complex behavior, strong intelligence and social activity, and its simple and rough song can imitate human speech. It is the national bird of Bhutan.

Because of their relatively high IQ, the habits of ravens are very complicated. Some are docile and some are fierce and irritable.

In the wild, I really met ravens with a bad temper. They even dare to attack peregrine falcons and small eagles.

Knowing that ravens are very active birds and usually appear in groups, Xu Jie hurriedly looked around to see if there were other ravens around.

Xu Jie's eyes searched back and forth in the yard, but the raven didn't see it, but saw the cockatoo that Mo took down this morning on the decorative rockery in the yard.

While Xu Jie was searching back and forth, the raven had already launched a second attack on Mo Mo and them.

The raven flapped its wings and flew up. After lightly adjusting its posture in the air, it swooped down towards Mo Mo.

Mo arched his body to hide Xu Jie, and stared at the swooping raven without blinking.

The attack power of the passerine claws was not too high. The most powerful part of their body was their beak. The raven's strongest weapon at this time, the beak, went straight to Mo's head.

Mo didn't seem to react, standing there waiting to be pecked.

But when he got close to the black cat, Raven A'Du felt the wind in the back of his head.

Feeling that something was wrong, A'Du resolutely gave up this attack, and quickly pulled his body upwards.

Just when the raven pulled its body up nearly one meter, a thick cat's tail brushed against its wings and twitched.

Seeing this, A'Du's heart broke out in cold sweat. If he hadn't believed in his intuition, he would have been drawn by the big black cat's tail before it pecked at the big black cat's eyes.

Hearing the sound of a whip whipping the air just now, he knew it would be good to be whipped by that tail, and the sunflower cockatoo who was watching the battle also saw this.

So it shouted in its hoarse voice: "Du be careful, that black cat is hard to deal with."

Its voice also made Xu Jie understand why the raven came to trouble them.

I blame myself for being too curious, otherwise Mo wouldn't have caught that parrot.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie quickly crawled out from under Mo's body, ran towards the cockatoo, and said as he ran, "Your name is Akui, right? I heard your master call you that. Let them stop beating you!" It's not good for anyone to get hurt accidentally."

While they were talking, the raven attacked Zhu Mo again, this time it used its wings.

Because birds need to fly in the sky, the muscles on their wings are very developed.

With the size of the raven, when it slaps down with all its strength, small domestic dogs can be slapped and fall.

This trick A'Du used often in fights in the past, not to mention other birds, even cats, dogs, and monkeys have suffered a lot from this trick.

But Mo is definitely not another cat. Facing the raven's wings, it took a small step back, quickly lowered its head when the wings slapped over, and then pawed over.

A'Du has a lot of fighting experience. After feeling that the wings were blown out, he turned his body around desperately, narrowly avoiding Mo's claws at the critical moment.

In this way, it was still caught by Mo's wings. After leaving a few feathers behind, the raven escaped successfully.

The successive attacks were unsuccessful, but the raven was not discouraged.

It circled around Mo several times, and after realizing that there was really no chance to attack and was almost hooked off by Mo, it circled for a while and landed beside the cockatoo.

The black and bluish raven feathers are very conspicuous in the snow. The cockatoo that landed on the rockery was very distressed after seeing it, and leaned over to comb the missing feathers of the raven with its own beak.

The raven turned around and rubbed against the cockatoo that was combing its feathers, turned its head and scratched the rockery a few times with its black claws, and said, "Cat, you picked my bird and let it shed its feathers."

Mo Wenyan raised his head and said with a pair of cat's eyes shining in the dark night: "So what, if my little raccoon wants to eat you, I will bring it to you."

These words successfully angered the raven, it screamed a few times, flew up and attacked Zhuo Mo again.

But this time it learned to be smart. It knew that the black cat was difficult to deal with, and it would not take any advantage to get in by itself. If it was not careful, it might get in with itself.

So it started to use tools, and small stones, twigs and so on fell from the sky to Mo Mo's head.

Mo knew that these were definitely just appetizers, a tool used by the raven to attract his attention, and the real killing move should come later.

Sure enough, after fanning down a pile of snow with its wings, blocking Mo's sight, the raven approached Mo from behind through the night, this time its target was Mo's eyes.

A'Du specially guarded against Mo's tail this time, it was not so easy to get it.

But Mo didn't twitch his tail this time, it suddenly bounced into the air with all its limbs.

A'Du fell down and wanted to attack, but the big black cat it was going to attack bounced in the air, and gradually the height was equal to it.

Under A'Du's surprised gaze, Mo kicked Raven out with his hind legs.

The kicked raven flew obliquely a few times in the air, and then landed back on the rockery where the cockatoo was, but its brown eyes the size of soybeans still stared at Mo and did not leave.

And Mo stood in the yard, adjusted his posture and showed the tip of his claws hidden in the meat pad to the raven.

The two animals confronted each other through the heavy snow.
