Become a cat [Zhan Zhao]

Tao Yuanming wrote in "The Peach Blossom Spring":... After walking for dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.The land is flat and open, and the houses are just like the genus of mulberry and bamboo in Liangtian Meike.In the traffic on the rice paddies, chickens and dogs hear each other, among them, the kind of work, the clothes of men and women, are all like outsiders.Yellow hair hangs down, and he is happy.

And the scene that appeared in front of Ah Lan at this moment, although it is not the same as the Peach Blossom Spring, but there are three or two huts in the hidden valley, more than ten acres of fields, and a small pond, which is also full of hermit style.Under the bright moonlight, this scene has added a bit of tranquility, making people's mood more peaceful.

Because Alan is a street child, he naturally would not have read Mr. Wuliu's masterpiece.She stared dumbfounded at the hidden world in the valley before her, and was amazed in her heart. She couldn't help lowering her head and jokingly said to the cat: "This place, can't it be a treasure land for you to become a master?"

Zhan Zhao: "..." He rolled his eyes with a sneer, turned around and jumped down the rock without hesitation, walking towards the thatched hut in the distance along a path already covered by weeds.

Alan hurriedly followed behind, not knowing whether she was talking to herself or to the cat: "I didn't expect that there were people living in this place. By the way, how did you know this place? No...you don't know." Is it raised by the owner here?" There was actually a bit of worry in the words.

But soon, A Lan found that she didn't need to worry.Because this place has no owner at the moment, it has obviously been deserted for a long time.The thatched hut has become dilapidated due to the wind and rain, and the grass in the field is desolate, obviously no one has taken care of it for a long time.

Zhan Zhao naturally knew this, and led Alan to the hut with familiarity.In addition to a bedroom where the owner lives, these three huts also have a small kitchen and a firewood room for storing sundries.Zhan Zhao pushed his head to open the door of the bedroom, jumped over the threshold through the crack of the door and walked in.

Ah Lan was really tired, not to mention still injured, so she followed the cat into the room.This house has not been lived in for hundreds of years, it is full of dust, the bed is still intact, but it is also covered with a layer of soil.Except for this simple piece of furniture, there is only a bookshelf full of books and dust, a wooden table, and a bench in this bedroom.

In fact, it was the first time for Zhan Zhao to enter the house. He didn't expect such a big dust inside, and he sneezed a little as soon as he landed.Thinking about the last time he came here, he was still a young boy who didn't know anything. Although he saw that this place had been deserted for a long time, he felt inexplicably that he should not disturb the cleanliness of the hermit master here, so he made do with it for the night outside.

It's just that this time Alan was hurt, Zhan Zhao didn't care about his youthful feelings, and led Alan all the way to the bed.Urging her to sit down honestly, Zhan Zhao walked around Ah Lan's feet, and as expected, she found that her ankle didn't get better, but the injury got worse.

However, Alan's calf was a little itchy from being rubbed, so he reached out and picked up the cat.She raised her head and yawned, then wiped her tears and said, "Let's go to sleep, I'm really sleepy." After speaking, she fell down and lay on the bed. She didn't dislike the fact that the bamboo floor was dirty and hard. Just fell asleep.

Zhan Zhao has been trying to stay awake, although he is also extremely sleepy - cats are always sleepy, even if he is a human, after turning into a cat, he still has some physical strength.However, this time Zhan Zhao knew that he had to be awake, and when Ah Lan's breathing became long, he jumped out of the other's arms lightly, and jumped off the bed without a sound.

After the moonlight spilled into the room through the paper window, it became hazy and indistinct, barely hugging A Lan who was curled up on the couch.She was still holding the cat in her arms, and then she shrank into a small ball, like a baby.Zhan Zhao looked up at her, even though everything around him seemed huge when he turned into a cat, but when he looked at A Lan, he still felt that she was a child.

Although the child's hands are bigger than he is now.

Zhan Zhao shook his head involuntarily, he knew that he was always soft-hearted towards this child, because she was really lovable.But now he has to go, and he can't go.

Telling himself this in his heart, Zhan Zhao walked slowly towards the door, and bid farewell to Ah Lan silently.When he got out of the bedroom and stood under the moonlight again, Zhan Zhao couldn't help thinking that if he met Alan at any other time, maybe he would spend a few more days with this child.

Then he can help her as much as he can, just like he did when he was walking in the rivers and lakes.At least he should heal Ah Lan's foot injury, buy some clean clothes for the child, and treat her to a meal.She was so thin, almost skinny, like a little skeleton.When the time comes to see a table of dishes, Ah Lan will definitely stare those round eyes even more roundly, and a look of joy and satisfaction will appear on his lively face.

When I wake up tomorrow morning and find that I'm gone, I don't know if she will yell or not.Zhan Zhao walked slowly, Alan's panicked face seemed to flash in front of his eyes.

"cat!"

Yes, like this.The panicked and bewildered tone seemed like the sky had fallen rather than the cat lost.Zhan Zhao thought so.

The next moment, the hairs all over his body exploded, and he jumped up and hid in the grass beside him, but he didn't see a pond hidden behind the grass that was much taller than him.

With a "plop", Zhan Zhao rushed directly into the pond without blinking.At the same time, the door of the thatched hut was pushed open, and A Lan, who was still sleepy and still not fully awake, rushed out and shouted, "Cat, where did you go?"

A stream of bubbles popped up in the pond, gurgling.The moon reflected on the water surface was wrinkled by layers of ripples, as if broken into countless pieces.

Cats can't swim, and neither can Zhan Zhao.

There was another "splash", and Ah Lan saw the splash in the pond, and jumped straight down with his head getting hot.The night was really too dark, she endured the stinging pain and opened her eyes wide, but she couldn't see things clearly under the water, so she had to reach out and grab randomly in the direction of the water.

Fortunately, God blessed her, she caught the drowning cat in one fell swoop, and kicked her head out of the pond.

"Huh!" One person and one cat coughed water and panted for the rest of their lives, and then dragged their wet bodies back to the shore.A Lan's heart was still beating wildly, and she collapsed on the grass, huffing and puffing to calm down.Zhan Zhao shook his body violently, shaking the water off Alan's face.

But it was also wet, so it didn't matter.

This is definitely the most bizarre smashing event that Zhan Zhao has ever experienced in his life. He clearly planned to leave quietly without alarming people, but in the end, not only alarming people, but also an achievement achieved in such a thrilling way.

If it wasn't for Xin Zhi being an adult in his 20s, Zhan Zhao really wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, he wouldn't have dared to visit Ah Lan at all.

"Oh, my clothes are all wet." Ah Lan murmured from the side, making Zhan Zhao even more ashamed.

With the last of his self-esteem, he leaned forward and gently rubbed his head against Alan's fingers, then stuck out his tongue and licked it twice.

"Okay, don't be afraid anymore." Alan stroked the cat's wet fur, then sat up straight, "No, I have to go and build a fire, let's roast it, or I will get sick."

It was a damp and cold place, especially at night, and it was not easy to find something to light a fire.In the end, Alan found some dry broken wood and grass clippings in the abandoned woodshed, and then lit a fire with a fire knife and flint.

The warm and dry fire immediately drove away the cold and damp, and both the man and the cat let out a long and comfortable sigh.A-lan tugged at the wet clothes on her body, walked to the edge of the pond, took off all three times, and went into the water to wash her clothes and herself.

Zhan Zhao turned his head abruptly when A Lan stretched out his hand to take off his clothes, almost breaking his neck.He took a deep breath and told himself: I am a cat, I am just a cat.

The sound of water was heard not far away, and Ah Lan had already jumped into the pond again and was pouring water on her body.The moonlight shone softly on her body, and when the dust and sweat were washed away, her white and smooth skin was revealed.

"Wow, the water is so cold, I didn't feel it just now." She said, probably chatting with the cat, although the latter was about to bury his head in the ground.

Alan turned his head and took a look, and found that the cat was pointing its butt towards him, with its two front paws still resting on its head.She couldn't help laughing at this weird posture, thinking that her cat was really weird, it would be fine if she jumped into the water in the middle of the night, why would she still pose like this while warming herself by the fire.

It was rare for her to take a good bath. Although the water in this pond was cold, it was very clear.There were still a few fish swimming in the distance, probably woken up by A Lan and the cat, but they didn't dare to go forward.

After washing and going ashore, Ah Lan found a tree branch to put the wet clothes on, and dried them on the fire.She was naked and a little uncomfortable, but it didn't matter considering that it was only her and the cat here.

Who made her poor and have no money to buy clothes?Alan couldn't help sighing, thinking that if she became rich in the future, she would definitely buy a lot of beautiful clothes, change them one by one, and never wear the same one every day.

The cat still buried its head and seemed not to move.Alan couldn't help poking the cat's small body, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The cat swished away for a long time, and almost fell into the fire, but fortunately, it reined in the precipice.

Alan couldn't help laughing: "Oh my God, you won't be really smart, right? Are you disliking me for not wearing any clothes? But you don't have any clothes either?"

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and sneered in his heart: Hehe, I still have Mao, what do you have?

Alan is only skinny and skinny, so it's really not worth seeing.Although she is a girl, she has hardly developed much. If she hadn't been drenched and hugged the cat vigorously when they first met, Zhan Zhao might not have been able to realize that it was a girl.

However, do not regard evil as a sage's golden and jade words, we still have to follow the teaching carefully.

I don't know how long it took before Ah Lan's clothes were dry, so she covered her body and lay down on the spot.Zhan Zhao was finally able to raise his head, and looked at Alan puzzled.

"Otherwise, let's sleep here," Ah Lan said in a low voice, looking at the moon in the sky with her arms pillowed on her head.

Zhan Zhao remained silent, and of course he couldn't speak out.Seeing that A Lan closed his eyes, he sighed a long time, walked forward nimbly, and lay down beside A Lan.

The bright moon hangs high, and the night is quiet.
