meow

Chapter 04

Ye Wang, who was far away in Yinyangliao, didn't know that Wuxin's actions had solved the problem that had been bothering him. After the litter box was dirty, he finally got the chance to play his role.And it didn't take long to regret losing the pickles in the beach paradise, and he was attracted by the grasshoppers in the courtyard.

Different from homes with barriers to regulate the temperature, Yinyang Liao is hot and humid, and sitting in the house is like being in a steam oven.Ye Wang didn't bother to improve the working environment. For him who grew up in the countryside, this condition was already excellent.King Ye could bear the current weather, but the people below felt like they were in hell. Even if all the imperial curtains around were opened, the indoor situation did not improve much.

In the Heian era when bathing depended on the day, the nobles used to use strong incense to cover up the smell of sweat. It was fine at ordinary times, but when a group of sweaty people stayed in the same room, one could imagine the feeling.

In the hot and humid environment, all kinds of incense and the smell of sweat overlapped together. Soon, some onmyojis couldn't bear the pickled feeling, and vomited into the spit pot. The smell in the room became more and more strange, but no one could Don't dare to use excuses to avoid taboos and go to Ma Cang Yewang to ask for leave.

Onmyoji is a government official, and they work more than 20 days a month. However, there are many taboos in Japan, and they are usually taboo when they encounter dead objects, so they have to ask for leave every now and then.Because of material taboos, the implementation of the imperial court's order was slow, and it would take ten and a half months to delay if taboos were encountered.Originally, the same is true for Yinyang Liao, and everyone is used to the leisure of fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, but Ye Wang does not follow this feudal superstition, and the result of being lazy and asking for leave will only be lost in office.After all, for an onmyoji who can't even deal with the filth, staying in the onmyoji is useless.

The current Yin-Yang head is a devil, but he is also favored by the emperor. The onmyojis dare not speak out, and they only dare to murmur in their hearts about how hard life is.It's just that they don't know that for Ye Wang, who has spiritual vision and mind reading, there is no difference between speaking out and cursing secretly.

Around 10:[-] in the morning, a bell rang outside the door, and the onmyojis finally got off work. Except for senior officials who were going to participate in palace activities, everyone else could rest in the afternoon.King Ye, who was also a Tibetan onmyoji, had to go to the palace to do fortune-telling for the emperor, and preside over rituals in the palace. By the time he finished his work, the sun had half covered his face in the west.

"Lord Ye Wang, do you want to stay overnight in the palace tonight?" Seeing that Ye Wang was about to get up and leave, the female officer who was serving at the side hurried forward, her cheeks flushed and said: "Please accept this." The material paper with flowering branches was stuffed into his hand.

Ye Wang held the material paper and said nothing, but the governor of Zuoweimen next to him saw it and laughed and said: "The one just now, is the female officer of Fangzhi Palace? I heard that His Royal Highness is asking about you. The good night is short, Lord Ye is still there." Aren't you going to the appointment soon?" There was a sour taste in his words.Fangzhigong is the fifth daughter of the emperor, she is first-class in talent and appearance, but her temperament is also very arrogant. Many princes can't catch up with her, but she is cheap for this commoner.

In the early Heian period, most marriages were marriage visits. After the man got the woman's blue eyes, he could visit and spend the night at home. If he wanted to maintain this relationship, he would exchange letters later.Although there are many lovers in Fangzhi Palace, they are not married. If the two get married, the identity of King Ye will be different.

Raising eyebrows and glanced at him, Wang Ye handed him the material paper in his hand, and said, "No, I still have important things to do, so I can't get away."

"It's useless to give it to me!" Holding the paper that was still warm, Zuowei Mendu shouted to Ye Wang's back on tiptoe.

Leaving the palace before the lock was locked, King Ye did not take the bullock cart, and went directly to the mansion of the head of the Ministry of Pharmacy.The old doctor was teaching his grandson how to play the piano at the moment, when he saw Ye Wang coming in, he said, "It's Lord Ye, how is the kitten at home?"

"Thanks to you, it's been a safe and full term." A smile appeared on Ye Wang's lips.

"That's good, that kitten is also a blessing to meet you." The old doctor has gone through three dynasties and is also a medical officer, and he is cautious and cautious.He would not laugh at Ye Wang's humble background like other people, but simply congratulated him, and said: "According to the days, it's time to change the kitten's food. I'm not a cat, and I don't know what they think, but This person had to change food gradually when he was a child, and I think cats must do the same. How about this, don’t wean him for now, feed him some soft food every day, and gradually increase it to try.”

King Ye nodded, wrote these down and asked again: "Thank you, Lord Monobube, for your guidance. I don't know if there are any taboos about eating in the future?"

The old doctor stroked his beard in satisfaction, for a moment he forgot that the young man in front of him was the evil star that terrified the civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty, and he said with relief: "The world only says that cats are experts at eating fish, but they don't think they can't digest this fishbone. I always regret it when the cat dies. You, cook the fish after you go back, be careful not to let the thorns get in, and don’t put too much salt, too much salt for this cat is not good for the eyes.”

The old doctor didn't know that cats would suffer from kidney failure if they ate too much salt, so they could only look at the problem from the surface, knowing that cats with too much salt would have tear stains.As for the main ingredient of cat food, it should also be meat, but in this era, animal meat is regarded as filthy and cannot be eaten by humans, let alone cats.

Confirming that the pickles can be exchanged for food, Ye Wang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking of the little guy's pitiful appearance yesterday, he brought two fatty fish along with him when he returned home.Can eat fish, Cai Cai should be satisfied, thinking of this, Ye Wang quickened his pace, his mind was full of milk cats waiting to be fed.

However, pickles, who were worried about him, didn't wait for [mother]'s return honestly at home. After Kuanzong was ordered to investigate He Yuan's face sores, Cai Cai, who was out of control, chased after the servants who came to clean up, followed The legs ran out of the yard, and came to the street with a small tail.Just leaving the shelter of the enchantment of Ye Wang's courtyard, the hot noon sun shines directly on the body. Most of the fur on Pickle's body is pure black, and it absorbs heat especially in the sun. At this moment, the back and paws are hot and uncomfortable.

"Meow."

The pain on the claws made pickles keep running forward, but it also made it farther and farther away from the house. The little guy couldn't find his mother, and surrounded by strange scenery, he finally started to panic: "Meow...meow... ..."

"Kitty."

The old man's gentle smiling voice sounded behind him. Pickled Cai looked at the sound and saw an old man with no fur on his head waving towards him. He was against the light, his round head was like an egg, and said kindly: "Come here enjoy the shade under the shadow of the

The milk cat can't understand other people's language, but this strange old man somehow makes the cat feel at ease.It meowed and ran over quickly, stepped on the shadow of the old man, and finally relieved the pain of the scalded cat's claws.

So comfortable.

……

After sunset, Wang Ye carried the fish back to the ghost gate where the mansion was located. As soon as he reached the intersection, he saw pickles sleeping in circles under the Ksitigarbha statue by the river.The little guy didn't have any defenses at all, he slept very sweetly, and the sound of Ye Wang's footsteps just made him prick up one ear.

Standing still at two meters away, Ye Wang raised his hand and shook the fish in his hand, and then saw Cai Cai who was sleeping soundly raised his head, staring at the big round eyes that could not see a trace of sleepiness, and came running briskly . "Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!" One step at a time, it was very enthusiastic.

At the same time as the pickles approached, Ye Wang suddenly raised his arms and lifted the fish up.Pickle rushed to nothing, meowed around him anxiously, and tried to climb up his trouser legs.Seeing this, Ye Wang shook his head and laughed, picked up the greedy little guy and put it on his arms, and took them home together.

The meowing gradually faded away, only the corners of Jizo's mouth remained in place.

The attendants at Ye Wang's mansion hadn't found out that the owner's cat was missing, and were busy cleaning up the weeds in the courtyard. Ye Wang handed them the fish in his hand, ordered it to be cooked with a little salt, and then returned with the vegetables struggling to stretch their claws. to the bedroom.Looking at the cat litter box under the eaves, he found that there were two small balls in it. Seeing this, Ye Wang touched the cat's head in relief, and said, "That's pretty good, I'll be here from now on."

Pickles meowed in response.

After being praised, is there any reward after that?

It's a pity that there is no reward, Ye Wang put the cat on the ground directly, bent down to change the shoes.Pickle leaned over and rubbed the back of his hand, Ye Wang reached out and pushed the cat's face aside, but it quickly came over again, licking and sniffing at his fishy palm.

"Cai Cai, go and play first." Ye Wang lifted the cat up and put it aside again.

"Meow." Pickle, which was thrown behind, looked up at Ye Wang who bent over to lift the shoes, and at [Mother's] flat back, it moved its little paws to measure the height, and then jumped to Ye Wang's with a fierce kick on the back.

Ye Wang, who had just changed his shoes and was about to get up, suddenly froze in place. The kitten's little paws hooked the clothes on his back, and crawled up to his neck.The soft cat's fur brushed against Ye Wang's sensitive neck, and the hairs all over his body exploded. He hurriedly urged in a deep voice, "Come down."

Pickles haven't climbed up [Mom's] back yet, this is a novel and fun place for it, how could it leave so soon.Although cats cannot understand human language, they are creatures that are good at reading emotions. Ye Wang's non-blame tone is tantamount to connivance to it.

"King Ye... Lord?" Gu Zongmao, who had just returned from gathering information in Heyuan, had a complicated face. Looking at the owner who was walking around the house with pickles on his back, his expression was indescribable: "...What are you playing?"

"Cai Cai doesn't want to come down." Ye Wang said helplessly.

"You stand up straight, and it will come down by itself." Kuan Zong looked at the pickles squatting on his shoulders and said.

"Maybe it will fall on it." Ye Wang said, stretching out his hand to the back of the little milk cat stuck to his body, and when Cai Cai saw the opponent's hand, she subconsciously raised her paw and slapped it Slap it up.Wang Ye who was beaten was not angry, so he took Cai Cai and sat in front of the writing platform, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the left and right are about to eat, so let's play with it for a while."

"..." I see you are enjoying it.
