meow

Like many milk cats, Pickle has the habit of following its feet. During the few days at home, Wang Ye carried this little tail with him everywhere he went, and he would step on it if he was not careful.The kitten is full of curiosity about everything, but it never had the courage to explore all the unknowns, but as long as it stays with [mother], everything is no longer a problem. He is the source of its courage and the only harbor it can rely on with peace of mind.

Although he is not spiritually intelligent, his IQ is sufficient as a pickle for ordinary cats. After a short time with him, he has remembered his mother's living habits.He knows that whenever he puts on cumbersome cloth and gets into a box drawn by oxen, it is time to leave home and hunt.

However, the mother's ability does not seem to be very good, and it is not possible to bring back prey (fish) every day.

Mom works hard...

Pickle feels that it is full-term and can go out hunting like its mother, just like the rhubarb cats from the same litter, it can catch chickens by itself.Thinking of this, the little cat is full of fighting spirit, ready to go out with her mother.

When noon was approaching, Zuowei, who was covered with guardian charms all over his body, rushed over, his whole body was shining with dazzling golden light, not to mention monsters, not even Shikigami dared to approach easily.In some respects, he did fulfill his promise not to hold back Ye Wang, but this appearance also made him particularly obtrusive in the eyes of monsters, like a mocking beef cattle.

"Ye Wang, can you go to Heyuan now?" Zuo Wei asked with sparkling eyes, not aware of the difference.

Ye Wang's eyes lingered on the guard all over his body, and then he lowered the corners of his mouth and said, "Let's go." Before leaving, he bent down and touched the pickle squatting at the door shaking the tip of its tail, and it's ears Flattening the back of his head, he said, "I'll be back soon."

Snoring and enjoying his mother's touch, Pickle stretched out his head to rub against his palm, and when he was about to withdraw his hand to leave, he suddenly turned his face and bit down.The pointed milk teeth left two red spots on Ye Wang's palm, so light that no pain could be felt. After two seconds, Pickle let go of her mouth and licked the place she had bitten with her small tongue.Ye Wang kept reaching out and waited patiently for it to finish licking before stepping on the bullock cart and leaving.

"Ahhh."

Pickles squeezed out of the house, chasing after her mother.The servants of Ma Cang's house closed the house door without paying attention to the young cat.

The bullock cart wasn't moving fast, Pickle ran after her mother's breath, and soon saw a vague shadow.The familiar smell is not far away, and the little milk cat is chasing closely with its tail upright. It has never been left behind on this road outside the city.

The guard in charge of the gate didn't bother to pay attention to a milk cat, seeing it leaving through the crack of the door, he didn't intend to stop it.

When we arrived outside the city, the bad and unpleasant smell in the air became stronger, and the smell belonging to my mother also became intermittent.At first, the pickles could still chase behind the ox cart, but soon, it stopped under the temptation of another smell.

"Meow."

The sweet and greasy aroma of milk came, and the pickles unknowingly turned around and ran to the other side.There is an abandoned village outside the city of Kyoto, which was originally full of civilians, but the plague broke out a few years ago, and for the safety of the nobles, they were expelled to Heyuan.Now the village is still there, but there are no people there. The houses that lost their residents have become eerie and strange, and rumors of ghosts gradually flow out, and no one dares to approach them.

The vacant house has become a safe haven for small animals. Although it is in disrepair and leaky, it is enough for stray fur children.Smelling the scent of milk, pickles sneaked into a cobweb-strewn wooden house, and saw a litter of milk cats under the empty stove.

Meow……

Meow meow……

It was a litter of milk cats that had just been born. Like their mother, they all had beautiful raccoon patterns.The eyes of the little ones haven't been opened yet, they only know how to squirm on their mother's belly, and the idiots who are squeezed out by their brothers and sisters will be picked up by the cat mother after a while.

The appearance of pickles made the cihuamao's mother raise her ears vigilantly, but a kitten was not a threat, it remained motionless, letting the kitten in its arms climb up and down.Unlike the vigilant mother cat, Pickle, who hadn't learned any common sense by Wang Ye's side, ran over happily when she smelled the milk...and was pressed down by the mother cat's paw.

Cai Cai is also hungry!

Pickle was just struggling to get his head out, but there was a more violent attack. The mother cat was extremely fierce, like a cat with white gloves waving its paws into phantoms, and hit Pickle on the forehead cracklingly. The little guy could only lie down on the ground. Bian, retreating slowly.

As soon as she moved out of the range of the mother cat's attack, Pickle hurriedly hid under the grass in the distance with her tail between her legs.After it slipped away, the mother cat withdrew her claws, but she had no intention of chasing it.It's just that he suffered from the pickles that were beaten violently, so he only dared to squat behind the grass at the moment.

Without the disturbance of pickles, the cihuamao mother showed her gentle side again. She lay under the stove and indulged the kittens to crawl around on her body.The well-fed and well-fed little ones lie comfortably beside their mother, allowing their mother to lick their fur meticulously and considerately from top to bottom. Surrounded by their mother's breath, they sleep soundly or play with peace of mind.

With her chin resting on her own paw, Pickle stared at a family not far away in a daze.

Cai Cai was hungry, but she no longer dared to ask for milk.

Cai Cai...Cai Cai also has mother's...

Thinking of this, Pickle stood up from the grass, and the mother cat on the opposite side also raised her ears warily.At this moment, a stench suddenly penetrated into the nostrils. Before the pickles could react, the cat mother at the stove picked up the kittens one by one and moved them to the roof.The pickled cabbage that stayed in place twitched its nose, and before it understood what happened, a terrifying roar appeared beside its ears.

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

The ugly monster appeared not far from Pickle, and the hair all over its body swelled up in fright. Looking at the huge monster in front of it, Pickle's head went blank for a while, and he only knew how to run away.Its escape also attracted the attention of wild dogs, and it chased after it with grinning teeth.

"Wang Wang!!"

"Meow——!"

Cai Cai was terrified!

The smelly hot air was chasing after him, it seemed that as long as it stopped, it would immediately come up and bite its throat.

The young Cai Cai was no match for wild dogs at all. Seeing that he was going to be caught up, he kicked his legs and rushed up to the nearby tung tree when he was desperate.The wild dog couldn't get up the tree, so it barked helplessly below. It wandered back and forth violently, biting the trunk from time to time, making Cai Cai hide in the leaves in fear and dare not show his face.I don't know how long it took before the wild dog who couldn't catch Cai Cai left disappointed, but Cai Cai, who had climbed the tree passionately, couldn't get down either.

The little paws were pulling on the tree trunk, and Pickle looked at the ground, feeling that it was a distance of thousands of feet. Its front legs hung on the tree and tentatively went down, but it couldn't overcome its fear, so it quickly retracted it.Looking down at the ground, Pickle Kong was in a hurry on the tree, but couldn't get down no matter what.

Mom... Where's Mom?

Cai Cai is so hungry.

Cai Cai couldn't go down.

"Meow……"

This accident made Pickle deeply realize one thing——

Only mother is good in the world.

...

At this moment, Wang Ye didn't know that his cat followed him out of the city, and was going to the abandoned charity center in Heyuan with Zuo Wei.Fearing the infection of human facial sores, the common people dare not set foot here, and after the gate of the emperor's property was closed, those nobles who came to find the master of landscape were also banned. , only the yellow mud on the ground still has traces of trampling.

Gu Zong, who arrived here one step ahead of Ye Wang, appeared and said to Ye Wang: "There is no change when He Xiaosheng came last time."

"Which family does this land belong to now?" Wang Ye asked.Even if it is abandoned, it still has an owner.

Zuo Wei couldn't see Gu Zong, so he thought Ye Wang was asking himself, so he said: "This Tzu Chi Institute was built by the ancestors of the Sanwushiki family to take care of the refugees who lost their homes, but after the water was distributed, plagues broke out one after another. , there is no one left around here. I heard that the current son of the Miyashiki family is weak and has invited him outside the city to recuperate. Although the head of the family did not agree with him to leave the capital, he has also invited priests to come here many times to exorcise evil spirits. Maybe it won’t be long It will be activated again." Before Zuo Wei came, he had heard a lot of gossip.

Out of the corner of Wang Ye's eyes, he looked at Gu Zong, who nodded, expressing that it was consistent with the information Zuo Wei had obtained.

Have you asked the priest to exorcise evil spirits many times?

Ye Wang squinted his eyes, looking at the big house shrouded in evil spirit.

Ah.

Although he asked for the blessing of many talismans when he came, Zuo Wei was still a little nervous when he walked in the open courtyard where he could hear the echo of his footsteps. He turned pale and said, "King Ye, is someone following us? Are there two footsteps?"

There is indeed something, but... Ye Wang half-closed his eyes and said, "That's the sound of my footsteps."

"This, that's it!" Zuowei heaved a sigh of relief.

After being confirmed by Ye Wang, Zuo Wei was in the mood to look around. Because it had been cleaned up. Although the Tzu Chi Center seemed a bit gloomy because no one had set foot there all year round, the layout of the courtyard was exquisite, with bamboo leaves and rocks in harmony. With spring water flowing, it is indeed a good place to recuperate.Seeing the chessboard placed on the stone table, Zuo Wei said, "No wonder Master Shanshui stays here." After he finished speaking, he walked over quickly, and when he got close to the chessboard, his expression changed, and he covered his face and said, "Okay Smelly!"

There was a rag next to the chessboard, exuding a nasty stench, Wang Ye moved his finger, and was about to do something, when Zuo Wei stepped forward, covering his nose, and put the rag in the spring water to rinse it stand up.While washing, he said: "This should be a cloth towel for wiping the chessboard, how could it become like this?" The exquisite flowers and birds embroidered on it must be something cherished by the owner.

"If you dawdle any longer, I'll leave you here." Ye Wang reminded.

"Just a little while, I'll wash... Huh?! The cloth towel is gone! Oops, did it get washed away by accident?" Zuowei said angrily.

King Ye withdrew his gaze, and opened the gate of the main hall together with Gu Zong.A strong evil spirit permeated out, but at this time, Ye Wang was a little lost in thought.I don't know why, but from just now, it seems that I heard someone calling him.

Probably... an illusion.
