technical type

The cats who have been cleaned, no matter how helpless and mournful their expressions are when they are washed, are much more comfortable after half-drying. In all kinds of enchanting poses, she shamelessly exposed her lower abdomen.

After Ji Mo combed one, he patted its fluffy hair, and when he let it go away, he heard a long meowing sound, and the cats rubbed against him almost in a semicircle, unwilling to leave. The way to go.

"Okay, okay, stop being coquettish, there is another one waiting."

Ji Mo's heart softened after being rubbed by the cat's fur, and he no longer looked disgusted like when he used the needle to pick it up. He regained his love for these cute little creatures that got fleas from who knows where.

The next cat in the line came over spiritually to take pictures of the one that refused to leave, as if saying "It's my turn, it's my turn", with an eager look, as if driving away someone who jumped in line.

Ji Mo looked funny, and when the corners of his mouth curled up, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Ancient doors, the doors of high-end and large houses, all had door knockers, and some door knockers were even made of copper, carved with beautiful patterns of animal heads. When knocked, they would make a crisp sound and penetrate all the way to the courtyard wall. Inside.

It is equivalent to the ancient version of the doorbell system.

Upon hearing this, the adult put down the cat in his arms, stood up, and was about to go out. Ji Mo also looked out curiously. Outside the room, there was still the yard. Anywhere farther away, he couldn't see it through the wall.

"Did someone knock at the door?"

He asked nonsense, it was such a knock on the door, it was a little strange to hear it for the first time.

At that time, Ji Mo entered this yard through the dog hole. Later, the dog hole was blocked, and he never went out again. He didn't know what the gate was like, let alone the sound of knocking on the door. Some strange.

"You are here, don't go out."

Ji Mo's sound seemed to remind the adults that there was another person here, he glanced at him as if he had recovered, and ordered like this.

"okay."

Ji Mo, who didn't think anything at first, seemed to realize something when he heard such words. Could it be that the Cha Gang came?If the master finds out that the current person, the lord, has allowed outsiders here privately, they will probably be dissatisfied.

Similar cases can be understood from the news. A left-behind nanny treats a luxurious villa as her own home. How would the owner feel when she saw it?

"Do you want to hide?"

Ji Mo, who came to his senses, also hurriedly stood up before the lord went out, and when he asked, his eyes were already looking around to see where he could hide in this room.

It's a pity that this house was originally a house dedicated to bathing. Except for a place for placing wooden basins and buckets, which is the stove for drying, there is nothing else. A few wooden boards nailed to the wall are used for placing cloth towels. , with a clear view, and there is no existence that obscures the figure.

The adult was stunned for a moment, before a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the wrinkles first appeared, "No, just don't go out."

"Okay, I will definitely not go out."

Ji Mo assured that, already having the status of master and apprentice, the mutual trust value can be more, and the other party said this, it must be for his own good.

The lord had no time to listen to his reply, so he walked out quickly, and closed the door with his backhand. It was not locked, but he walked faster. Through the hazy window screen, he could vaguely see some scenes outside, and he could see the figure walking out of the yard. , should go directly to the gate.

"Who is here?"

Ji Mo muttered, feeling the pulling force on his legs, and saw the kitten who chased the cat just now looked at him with wide eyes, pawed at his trouser legs, as if accusing "How can you be so inattentive?" , It's my turn, it's my turn", that eager little look is very cute.

"Okay, here we come."

Sitting down again, Ji Mo held the kitten in his arms, combed it with a comb, massaged the roots of the hair, and checked for any weird things like parasites.

Although this job is meticulous, it doesn't take too long. When combing the hair, the comb presses down the hair, and you can see what the roots are like. Generally speaking, it is a normal pink color, occasionally sporadic A few, it seems like a surprise.

"It's still pretty clean!"

Thinking like this, Ji Mo recalled the medicinal powder that the adults added to the bath water, was it because of the medicinal powder?Deworming?

It may be because Ji Mo was still young, he was not allowed to touch these medicinal powders and the like, and he was warned not to eat them or get them in his eyes. The adults carried the medicinal powder with him, and wanted to find out what the ingredients were , I have to wait until I have a chance to talk about it later.

Thinking of this, Ji Mo's movements were not slow, and he quickly combed a cat, and the next one will be...

Just as he was combing the next cat, the lord came back again. Ji Mo looked at him worriedly. Looking at Ji Mo's eyes, the lord hesitated for a while, as if he didn't know whether he should look like this at this time, but in the end he still Turn around and start flipping over the cats lounging on the stove.

It was supposed to lie there and wait for it to dry slowly without being combed, but those combed places are reluctant to be so warm, even if they are squeezed, they have to be squeezed in again, so it is like a cat is spread out on it. Every gap in the cake is filled, leaving no room for meddling.

The adult’s rummaging interrupted many cats’ sleepiness, some of them yelled in dissatisfaction, and the sound of meowing seemed to be coquettish, while some were still in a daze, looking up, as if they were asking "Is it my turn?"

A group of cats were turned left and right, some were pressed down, expressed dissatisfaction, jumped down after protesting twice, and went directly to the stove, where there was heat, but they couldn’t lie down Just enjoying, somewhat uncomfortable.

Soon, the adult found a cat, which happened to be combed. He picked it up, found a cloth towel, and wrapped the cat directly.

I can't see what's going on outside at all. The cat in the cloth bag seems to be a little scared, and it makes a low cry, a little begging for mercy, but the embrace is familiar, so the fear will soon be gone. No more, just nestled in the arms of adults obediently.

Without saying a word, the adult went out with the cat in his arms, and closed the door again. Ji Mo wanted to ask, but the other party avoided his eyes at all other times, except for the eye contact when entering the door. It was obvious that he didn't want to be asked. After making a gesture of refusing to communicate, Ji Mo closed his mouth and remained silent.

The meals in the evening were all cooked by adults, and there was an extra fresh fish. If the water basin where the fish was placed hadn't been covered, I'm afraid they would have been rattled by the cats who smelled fishy before they could eat it.

The fish meat was delicious, and even with insufficient seasoning, it didn't have any fishy smell. There were seasonings that Ji Mo didn't know, which must be their effect.

In the next few days, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ji Mo always felt that the food was a little bit better, and he could tell from the lack of hair in the cornbread, it must not have come from their stove, maybe it was bought from outside. But the adults didn't go out, so, did a shopkeeper come?

The shopkeepers who walk around the streets and alleys can be regarded as an ancient feature. They carry goods and sell them from house to house. Many women who rarely leave their homes are frequent customers of the shopkeepers. Maids from wealthy families also often patronize them, and there are very few men.

However, for a 24-hour full-time job like an adult who doesn't even have a shift, only by patronizing the shopkeeper will he not be short of what he needs.

Uh, it's been more than three months, and it seems that no one has come to deliver supplies, so, is it all paid for wages?Why didn't you see the adults go to collect the wages?

These days, there is no such thing as getting paid on the salary card. If you don’t go to the cashier to sign in, how can you get the money?

Could it be that there are also managers like the foreman who pass a hand in advance and wait for a month or two before releasing it?

Ji Mo seldom pays attention to these extra things, and he has never been a servant of a big family before. He knows such things, but he doesn't know much about them. Every family has its own time rules for paying wages. In modern times, not every company pays wages at the beginning of the month, maybe they pay every six months or once a year?

The usual supplies, if the government doesn't give them, is it self-sufficient?Subsidize money to feed these animals first?

Thinking of this, Ji Mo couldn't help frowning. If so...he seemed to understand why the cat that was carried away was not brought back.

Selling the owner's cat in private to exchange for supplies to feed other animals, this kind of behavior... is quite smart.

The reproductive ability of small animals, in the case of cats, four or five per litter, even if the care is not careful at this time, some of them will die, training and so on, there will definitely be losses, at least half of them can stay Two, if they don't change frequently, I'm afraid this yard will soon be the world of cats and dogs, and they don't have any contraceptive measures.

Therefore, this method of making money from cats will not damage the data on the books. As many cats as there are, there will definitely be more, not less. .

Ji Mo is not a child. After guessing the cause and effect of this incident, he just acts as if he never knew about it, and still counts the number of cats, naturally ignoring the fact that the number has decreased.

One day, on the top of the wall, I saw the cat that was taken away was chatting with a cat in the yard. When the two cats were chatting and basking in the sun, they even smiled. It's even better if you're still alive nearby, and you can drop by the door when you go back and forth.

Ji Mo's ignorance made the adults heave a sigh of relief. He seemed to think that children don't need to know so much, and he didn't need to explain the account data of Zhen Chong Garden to a child, so he just gave some delicious food to coax him , then proceed as usual.

Compared with the dogs that act as guards in the nursing home, cats and cats that have been picked up more, kept clean, and trained to be obedient and sensible, and can catch mice, obviously have a larger market, so that Ji Mo later Looking at the wild cats that came back with the house cats, I feel that they are the ones who were sent out. They still remember where their homes are, so come back and have a look.
