The days of being a cat in Japan

Xu Jie, who didn't like the smell, sneezed loudly a few times to squeeze out the smell of other cats in his nasal cavity.

Seeing this, Mo came over and licked Xu Jie's nose, then rubbed his hair comfortingly.

At this time, Jiantai, who had not been in the house for a long time, opened the door and ran out cheerfully. Junko followed behind him, and then Grandma Fujimoto, who was holding the car keys, also came out behind.

Granny Fujimoto, who was wearing a straw hat, went to the backyard to drive, while the little fat man ran to Xu Jie's side and said, "Great Sage, grandma is going to take us to the watermelon field to pick watermelons, do you want to go with us?"

Xu Jie happily put his paw on Xiao Jiantai's extended hand when he heard this, and happily agreed to the little fat man's request.

After a while, Grandma Fujimoto drove her car over. Her car was an electric tricycle for agricultural use, with a motorcycle-like driver's seat in the front and a cart with two wheels behind it.

The small tricycle is not too big, and its horsepower is not much larger than that of an ordinary electric car. It is an auxiliary tool that Grandma Fujimoto often uses when she goes to work in the fields.

Put the child and the cat in the back pocket of the tricycle, and to ensure safety, Grandma Fujimoto drove slowly on the country road at the speed of a bicycle.

The watermelon field of the Fujimoto family is on the right side of the mountain, a sandy land of about two acres.

This piece of land is the old field of the Fujimoto family, where peanuts, sesame seeds and watermelons are planted in rotation every year.

Now Grandma Fujimoto is taking care of this field alone. In addition to social insurance and children's filial piety, she relies on this land to earn some pocket money.

After driving at a turtle speed for 10 to [-] minutes, the tricycle slowly stopped beside the watermelon field.

Jiantai, who had never been in the field before, waited until the car was stable, and jumped out of the back pocket of the car with Xu Jie in her arms.

Seeing this, Mo immediately jumped out of the car, while Junzi slowly got off the tricycle, carrying a water bottle.

Grandma Fujimoto told her grandson and granddaughter to stay in the field honestly and not to run around, while she caressed her lower body and carefully observed the watermelons in the field.

Whenever she saw a suitable watermelon, she would pat the top of the watermelon with her hand, and the strength was very even, then she stretched her head over and listened carefully with her ears sideways.

Once she heard the right sound, she would stop, drag the watermelon up with the other hand, bring it to her ear, and pat it back and forth to listen carefully.

After confirming that the melon is ripe, the watermelon will be unscrewed at a place where the melon vine is about a finger away from the melon stem.

Granny Fujimoto picked the watermelon and handed it to her grandson who followed her. The little fat man ran towards the tricycle with the big watermelon weighing more than ten kilograms in his arms.

Xu Jie walked lightly in the watermelon field. As a cat, he was not very interested in the watermelons all over the ground, but the various large or small insects that jumped out of the ground caused aroused It scratches the pavement desire.

Just thinking about it, a fat and green grasshopper jumped in front of it and landed in a melon field not far away.

Xu Jie walked step by step towards the side where the fat grasshopper landed. At this moment, the grasshopper landed on a leaf next to a watermelon, holding the watermelon leaf with its forelimbs and gnawing on it.

Feeling that this was an opportunity, Xu Jie imitated the ink, lowered his body and put his head flat, using scattered watermelon leaves as a cover, and approached the grasshopper bit by bit.

The grasshopper, which was busy eating, didn't notice a cat approaching it. Under normal circumstances, things of its size rarely appear on cat recipes, so this grasshopper took it lightly.

Xu Jie, who was bent over, slowly approached the grasshopper, and soon it came to the side of the grasshopper.

Xu Jie, who was staring at the fat grasshopper with both eyes, adjusted his body carefully, and when he saw the opportunity, he rushed out with all his strength.

It's a pity that although Xu Jie chose a good angle, he used too much force without much hunting experience.

As a result of using too much force, Xu Jie jumped out of the bounds, jumped over the head of the fat grasshopper, and jumped onto the watermelon in front of the grasshopper.

There was no place to draw strength on the round and smooth watermelon rind, and Xu Jie, who was waving his paws and thrashing about on it, didn't bother with the total weight, slipped and fell on the watermelon.

Xu Jie, who was face down, fell directly on the watermelon, and his sharp little canine teeth left two shallow pits on the watermelon rind.

Xu Jie, who gnawed a mouthful of green, turned over and got up, spitting out the watermelon rind he gnawed in his mouth.

"Wahhahahahahaha." Not long after Xu Jie got up, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly came from his ears. It was obvious that other things had seen its embarrassed appearance just now.

But even so, there is no need to laugh so much, isn't it just a fall?

Xu Jie, who was ashamed and angry, turned his head and looked towards the side where the laughter came from. It really wanted to know who was gloating.

Following the sound, Xu Jie found a coiled olive-colored Japanese snake behind a large watermelon leaf.

The Japanese snake was not that big, only a little over one meter, but it seemed to be a little older, because Xu Jie felt that its speech and movements gave the cat a sense of glib.

Seeing Xu Jie approaching, the Japanese snake was still laughing non-stop, and bumped its head against the watermelon next to it, imitating Xu Jie's wrestling just now.

The angry Xu Jie's face immediately puffed up, and it opened its mouth wide and let out an angry meow, reminding the snake not to go too far.

Who knew that when Xu Jie got angry, the Japanese brocade snake was not only not afraid, but also said disdainfully: "What's the matter, kitty, even with your three-legged cat's hunting skills, you want to compete with your grandpa snake? Come on, but Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, if you accidentally hurt you, then you can only blame yourself. Although I am not poisonous, my teeth are quite sharp, and it will be hard to bite you. "

Speaking of which, the Japanese golden snake that was originally coiled together spread out its mosquito coil, raised its head, stood up and spit out the core at Xu Jie.

I have never seen such a bullying cat. Shouldn't snakes run away from cats to avoid being eaten?Why is this one it encountered so strange?

Xu Jie, who had been despised by the food for his low combat effectiveness, wanted to earn back his face. It opened its mouth and blew up all the hair on its body, and breathed aggressively at the snake.

The Japanese Elaphe, who had watched Xu Jie's hunting process, knew that the cat on the opposite side only looked fierce.

In fact, it is a flower shelf, and what kind of hunter is a cat that can't even catch grasshoppers.

The contemptuous Japanese snake took the lead in attacking. It retracted its neck, stretched its abdominal muscles, and with the force of the rebound, it bit Xu Jie with its big mouth.

Xu Jie, who has been practicing dodging with Mo recently, saw the golden snake biting him, and immediately jumped to the side. At the same time, he stretched out a front paw, dangling in front of the Japanese golden snake's head, attracting the snake's full attention .

It learned this trick when watching the animal world. It is said that snake catchers will use this trick when catching cobras.

It is said that because the eyesight of snakes is not very good, shaking things are more attractive to them.

This trick really worked, the Japanese snake quickly focused all its attention on Xu Jie's shaking front paw.

If it is a human being, you can use one hand to attract the snake's attention at this time, and the other hand goes around the back of the snake's head, and grabs the snake by seven inches when it is not prepared, so that the snake cannot escape. .

It's a pity that Xu Jie is a cat, and his claws are too short to reach the back of the Japanese snake.

However, it has a lot of benefits in doing so, because by focusing the snake's attention, the chances of other parts of Xu Jie's body being attacked are much smaller.

And the most important thing is to attract the snake's attention and use its claws to lure it to attack continuously. This not only controls the rhythm in its own hands, but also consumes a lot of physical strength of the snake.

Sure enough, after more than a dozen attacks, the snake's activities were obviously not as flexible as before. The Japanese Jin snake, feeling its physical strength was declining, vomited its core and said, "Cat boy, you are lucky today. Your grandpa snake and I I happen to have something to do today, so I won't be here to dawdle with you."

Speaking of which, the Japanese brocade snake turned around and wanted to slip away.

The snake thinks it's okay, the cat doesn't want to do it, Xu Jie has already held back his stomach's anger after being laughed at for so long just now, seeing that snake wants to slip this time, how can it be so easy.

Seeing this, Xu Jie, who had been conserving his strength, chased after him, and kept scratching the tail of the Japanese snake with his claws. When it didn't react in time, Xu Jie bit the tail hard.

The fierceness of the injured Japanese snake was also aroused. Seeing that Xu Jie had no intention of letting go, the snake simply stopped running, turned around and began to bite Xu Jie continuously.

The Japanese Jin snake's uninterrupted attacks caught Xu Jie a little unprepared, and it quickly stepped back several steps to widen the distance between the two sides.

So the snake and the cat confronted each other across the air.

At this time, Mo walked over lightly with his tail flicking, looked at the Japanese brocade snake that was confronting Xu Jie and said, "Little Lihua, do you want to eat snake at noon? This one is too thin and old, it's not tasty. I'll go Can I find you a fat and tender one?"

The Japanese elaphe that was labeled as thin and old was also a little bit pissed off. It felt humiliated when it was injured in the hands of a cat that couldn't hunt, so it shouted loudly: "Who is so thin? Old? Grandpa Snake, I am young, only 5 years old. Will you see that I am not thin, but beautiful. Human beings are now popular with this kind of helpless, ignorant bastard."

Mo Wenyan squinted his eyes and took a few steps forward, and the Japanese snake, which was so angry that its brain function was almost dysfunctional, felt something was wrong.

That new big black cat, you can tell by its size that it is not easy to mess with, and judging from its walking and walking movements, it is a good hunter, completely different from the one just now. .

The remorseful Japanese snake now had no chance of escaping at all, so it could only curl up its body again, open its mouth wide and flash its fangs at Mo, threatening it not to come closer.
