Mr. Cat

Lu Wu didn't wake up until after nine o'clock in the evening, and the moon was hanging over the night. After drinking a few rounds of Louis coffee, Lu Wu slowly raised his head from the inkstone.

"what are you doing?"

Louis was indulging in variety shows when he suddenly heard a deep male voice explode in his ears, making his scalp numb with shock.Louis looked up, and found that Lu Wu came to him quietly, with a pair of animal pupils shining brightly.

He yawned and said, "Mr. Cat."

Lu Wu squatted beside him, staring at the colorful programs on the TV screen: "What the hell are you watching every day? Singing opera?"

Louis said: "Almost." It's always something to please people. When he was young, there was a famous troupe in Guangdu City. The dan roles in it sang melodiously and gracefully, their voices were like orioles, and they were far away. You can hear it, and the bones can be soft.

At that time, he was a yellow-haired child with pale skin. When he was placed in the crowd, he was very eye-catching, and the people around him didn't like him very much.Every time my uncle took him out, he would put a wide-brimmed cowhide hat on his forehead and carry him around.

The Lu family is a scholarly family, very noble, always put their eyes on the top of their heads, uphold the credo of "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and the family education is strict.Watching operas and listening to little songs, in the eyes of the elders of the Lu family, these things are purely for fun-loving dudes.

After hundreds of years, I finally found out that Uncle Louis was an outlier. He was on the loose at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and there was no time for him to be safe.When Louis was born and he was able to run and dance, Uncle Louis was left alone and took Louis out for fun all day long.

Even his first bucket of gold in business was discovered while listening to opera.

The good times didn't last long, but when Louis got older, wars started again in the country, and the people were in dire straits.His memories of those days are dark and mottled, save for some color in the swaying roses and the blue sky.

Gradually, even the chance to listen to a little song is gone.

Thinking of this, Louis was a little lost.In the blink of an eye, with the flick of a finger a hundred years ago, Danjiao, which was famous and popular a hundred years ago, also turned into a pile of loess, and the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the academy bloomed and thanked, thanked and bloomed again.As spring goes and winter comes, time always takes something away and leaves something behind.

After so many years, he walked around in the academy, seeing new buildings rising and old ones collapsing, and watching the quaint academy gradually transform into what it is today.Only those silent ancient trees have grown silently for a hundred years, stretching their branches and becoming taller and taller.

"Mr. Cat, I have something to ask you." Withdrawing from the torrent of memory, Louis finally remembered what he was going to do before.

"what's up?"

"The thing about the scroll."

After getting the scroll, Louis unfolded it and spread it on the coffee table.

The scroll is blank, and there are dark lines flowing under the light, appearing and disappearing from time to time, and it is not very clear.Louis looked at the scroll, turned his head and said to Lu Wu: "When we signed the contract, we agreed that you help me solve the problem of book spirits, and I will help you record non-human species."

He stretched out his fingertips and tapped the scroll: "How to record?"

Lu Wu glanced at the pensive Louis calmly, feeling agitated in his heart, recording non-human species is just a pretense.The contract is true, and things like scrolls can't be said to be false. It doesn't make much difference whether they have it or not—at least in his opinion.

When he woke up for the first time, a fairy-like woman with her sleeves in her arms came to him, gave him this scroll, and said a lot of goddamn things.He thought the woman was noisy, so after collecting the scroll, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep. After getting enough sleep, he came to the world in a daze, looking for the person who signed the contract in the woman's mouth.

After looking for it, I found Louis.

The contract must be signed. As for the scrolls, Lu Wuxin said, it doesn't matter whether you collect them or not, at least you are living comfortably now.

Louis was waiting for Mr. Cat's answer, but Mr. Cat was still staring at the scroll for a long time, which made him have some strange guesses—could it be that Mr. Cat didn't know how to write?

"What's the inconvenience?"

Lu Wu replied confidently: "I forgot, I will tell you when I remember." He flicked his tail guiltily, comforting himself, he will always remember, don't worry.

Louis glanced at him suspiciously, and instead of putting away the scroll in a hurry, he began to study it over and over again.

He has only two questions. Is this scroll written directly with a pen, or does it need some special method to write?For example, the supernatural consciousness in Xiuxian novels, or the so-called spiritual power that frequently appears in interstellar novels.If it is written directly with a pen, then Louis can do it by himself, if it is the latter...

Louis still knew exactly how much he weighed. He was just an ordinary vampire, and at most he had some tricks to confuse people. He absolutely didn't have any kind of consciousness or spiritual power.Speaking of non-human beings, he himself is one kind, and book spirits are also one kind. As for whether he will be able to see non-human species in the future, that has to be a question mark.

After all, he has grown up so much, besides himself and Louis, he has only seen Mr. Mao and Shuling.

If it's about playing games, he might be the legendary non-chieftain. He obviously holds countless card-drawing coupons, but he hasn't drawn an SSR for so many years, and his face is black.The surroundings are full of normal human beings, and we are all normal people holding hands and singing loudly beside him.

Louis turned off the TV, and the noisy living room fell silent in an instant, only the breathing of a person and a cat could be heard one after another.

Lu Wu moved his ears and turned his head to see that the light fell into his beautiful animal pupils, dazzling like burning gold.

"Why did you turn off the opera singer?"

Louis thought for a while, and corrected him: "Now this is not an opera, it should be called a TV show."

Lu Wu followed the good example: "Oh, the TV show, why did you turn off the TV show?"

"Because no one is watching."

"I want to see it." Lu Wu said seriously.

He jumped to the remote control, followed Louis' example and pressed the switch button, and the originally quiet house became lively again in an instant.The stars in the variety show roared and danced, and the laughter added later made the room more popular.

When Louis lowered his head to collect the scroll, Lu Wu said to Louis solemnly: "Although I am not human, you must discuss everything with me in the future."

Lu Yi paused and laughed softly, "Okay, I'll discuss everything with you."

It really feels good to have someone by his side, he took a moment to glance at Lu Wu sitting on the coffee table, next to the remote control, the cold light from the screen made his fur slick.

——Although the mysterious and weird "cat" next to him is not a human being.

Early the next morning, before Louis got out of bed, someone knocked on his door.

Louis was yawning sleepily, lying on the door weakly, looking out from the peephole, and there was a young man with red lips and white teeth standing outside the door, with a backpack on one shoulder and a puppy in his arms, and a small person sitting on his shoulder , legs dangling.

As soon as he opened the door, Lu Guangting smiled flatteringly at him, and raised the puppy in his hand: "Grandfather, are you still awake?"

Louis was angry when he got up, his face was pale at first, his brows were slightly frowned after he was abruptly pulled up from the bed, his expression was like ice, and he looked extremely unfriendly.Lu Guangting smiled mischievously, took several steps back, freed up one hand, gestured to close the door, and said obediently: "Grandfather, you continue to sleep, I'll come back later."

Louis stared at him with a cold face for a long time before slowly saying, "Come in."

Lu Guangting didn't dare to show his anger, and watched Louis walk into the kitchen, open the refrigerator, pour himself a glass of blood, and gulp it down.Immediately afterwards, Louis came out of the kitchen with a cold face, his face was pale, his lips were red and bloody.

A certain 15-year-old boy couldn't help shivering, and finally equated his grandpa with a vampire.

The puppy in his arms suddenly became agitated, Lu Guangting hurriedly hugged it, not daring to let it run around, if it angered Louis who was getting angry, it would not end well.

After Louis finished washing, his complexion finally looked better, his eyes were still extremely cold, and he could tell at a glance that he was not in a happy mood.He went straight to Lu Guangting. Lu Guangting wanted to say something, but when he saw Louis' eyes, he immediately shut his mouth and kept silent.

Louis' eyes were originally pale, but when his expression was cold and severe, his eyes were as clear as ice, and he trembled when he was cold.

He reached out and grabbed the puppy by the nape of his neck, and lifted it up.

The pup shrank his limbs and shivered with his tail between his legs.He is said to be a puppy, but he is actually the size of a house cat, with three fires on his forehead and beautiful blue eyes. He is a famous emoji on the Internet.

"Where did you find this dog?"

"It's in the woods behind my house."

"Aren't you tired of bringing a dog all the way to my house?" Louis frowned, his expression no longer so indifferent, he raised the husky cub and looked it over carefully, "This is not a dog."

Lu Guangting was surprised: "No matter how you look at it, this is a husky." He stood up and pointed to the three fires on the cub's forehead, "Look, there are also expressions like this emoji, exactly the same!"

Lu Yi glanced at him blankly, and Lu Guangting wisely closed his mouth.

"This dog has a smell that I really hate," Louis said, and the cub seemed to understand what Louis said, and made a lovely whimper.

Louis was not moved at all, and continued with a cold face: "It smells like a werewolf."

Lu Guangting was stunned: "What? A werewolf?"

It seems that in any film and television drama, the enemy of the vampire is the werewolf, and there is a sworn hatred between the two.Werewolves are always active in the west. Louis has never seen a real werewolf, but when he saw this "husky" for the first time, he couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart.

To be honest, this feeling came suddenly and inexplicably, but Louis just couldn't control it.The disgust seemed to be etched in his bones, and there was no way to erase or suppress it.

Louis has explained in detail some of his basic knowledge about vampires, such as——

If you see a dog or wolf that you really hate, it must be a werewolf.
