The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

The first snowfall of the new year, one after another, fell on the ground, gradually covering the greenish-brown brick surface, a piece of plain white and brick-red palace walls, coupled with the sunshine passing through the glazed tiles after the rain. The clear and bright reflected light makes this wooden structure palace group, which is the oldest in China and the oldest in the world, have the beauty enough to be a large piece of wallpaper.

The name of this palace is the Palace Museum.

Of course, more people are used to calling it the Forbidden City or the Forbidden City.

Today is Monday, and the Forbidden City is not open, so although the traditional culture lovers on the Internet are lamenting that this year's first snow fell on Monday, it is a good thing for the people of the Forbidden City.

Tourists on a snowy day... especially southern tourists are too excited about ice and snow, and their vigilance is too low when dealing with snow layers, especially the trampled ice slag.

Every winter, the Forbidden City Service Center receives several cases of falls.

So there is also a joke - do you know why Beijing's orthopedics department is so famous?

Of course, this joke has gradually become a little-known cold joke due to the urban heat island effect and the fact that the number of snowfalls in Beijing has become less and less.

The snowfall on Monday avoided various accidents for tourists in the snowy Forbidden City, but it could not prevent accidents for the little creatures in the Forbidden City.

For example, now, the staff of the Forbidden City are helping to catch cats under the heavy snow.

Even the most docile animals are full of attack power when they are injured. In addition, cats are "nervous knives" and the road is slippery in snowy weather. A white cat was cornered. In order not to frighten the mouse catcher, the staff chose to lure it with food at a distance.

The cat they were trying to capture was hunched over with one leg bent, the hairs on its tail blown out, and a low, menacing growl came out of its throat, intending to wave back the enemy.

Although it looks like a grand scene, it is actually nothing more than the staff trying to catch a cat whose paw slipped and sprained its foot when it jumped off the edge of the house early in the morning.

As a small IP in the big IP of the Forbidden City, "Cats of the Forbidden City" is also the last batch of existences in Greater China to eat the imperial food, so they naturally have their special medical funds.

Occasionally there will be such cats who fall and fall. If the film confirms that its feet cannot heal under natural conditions, this cat will be sent to the pet hospital. Of course, it will also be posted on Weibo and become a near Topic list No.1 among [-] cats.

The ability of cats to seek good luck and avoid harm is very strong. Under such a capture operation, only the injured cat was left on the scene. Poor thing.

The staff member who was collecting materials with her mobile phone said so, suddenly she was poked on the shoulder, and when she turned around, the camera turned around, and a cat squatting aside entered the camera.

That meow is sitting just below the higher edge of the building. Its black, white and yellow fur is fluffy and soft, and its dark almond eyes are fixed on it. From time to time, it leisurely licks its cool paws. The beard was trembling, the big eyes were narrowed, and the posture of watching the play was particularly obvious.

"The one looking here is a small collar, which entered the palace last year," the staff member said with a smile, "The source of its name is the red bow collar that someone put on it. It is the same style as Conan, so sometimes everyone Also call it Conan."

"As you can see, this should be a tortoiseshell cat, yes, it's a girl."

Xia Anran silently glanced at the girl who seemed to be broadcasting live, then turned her head and continued to watch—the battle!The farce of the Hero Hall of Supreme Harmony,

He didn't have the nerve to tell others, although he was indeed in the shape of a tortoiseshell cat, but sorry, he was a male.

Although the tortoiseshell male cat that can grow to almost adulthood is an existence that challenges genetics, but there is no way, because he is actually a little monster, not a real cat.

The bow around the neck is not given by humans, it is the carrier of the system.

That's right, this meow named Xia Anran (stage name Xiao Collar) has a human in its shell.

After being officially identified, he is a dream monster, a monster born and raised by nature, and does not belong to the system of becoming a spirit.

Although Xia Anran has not yet figured out how he changed from a human to a demon, fortunately, the monster class bathed in the light of socialism takes good care of newcomers, and little monsters like Xia Anran are equipped with [Young Demon Protection System] .

To be honest, Xia Anran really thinks that his system is absolutely clean in the system class. When doing tasks, he basically does not make a sound, does not increase the difficulty, and does not threaten to be obliterated by failure. Although he does not provide cheats, he does not hold back .

When he can transform into a human, he must send a pennant to the system.

The little sister who took the picture of him has already turned the camera back to the scene of cat hunting. Xia Anran stood up and shook her fur, making her fluffy again to store air to keep out the cold. on the ground.With a neat jump, Xia Anran lay down on the platform in front of the steering wheel of the battery car.

He was going to take a ride to a heated place to take a nap.

That's right, although foreign vehicles are now prohibited from entering the Forbidden City, staff can still take battery cars due to various needs.In fact, every morning, the director and staff of the Forbidden City will take a battery car to patrol!As long as you sit on the battery car, you can enjoy the best viewing angle.

——This kind of thing, only Xia Anran who can understand human language can find out, this position is currently only enjoyed by him.

It was last summer that he turned into a cat. At that time, his demon body was a shivering kitten. When he woke up, he was already at the gate of the Forbidden City. It was the kind staff who brought him in from outside.According to the words of the senior, he was able to come here as a monster without disturbing the artifact spirit of the Forbidden City itself, mainly because he was allowed to enter by the "people" here.

Moreover, his own growth method is quite special, he needs to grow by constantly weaving dreams for others.

So after discovering that there was a little monster here, the seniors did not take him away, but kept him in the form of a meow to continue mixing here.

As one of the most visited tourist attractions in the country, the Forbidden City is very beneficial for him to find a client.Although until now, his client has always been Qi Ling.

Firstly, it is because spirit bodies are easier to contact with each other, and secondly, it is also because Qi Ling’s wish is relatively simple, which is also intentionally accepted by his system that completely treats him as an ignorant little monster. Years of Qi Ling can give more rewards.

Xia Anran shrunk behind the windshield, squinting at the cat that was leaning on the palace pillar to resist, and was finally grabbed and stuffed into the cage.

A large group of victorious staff came over. They were about to send the cat out of the museum to the veterinarian. They were a little surprised when they saw Xia Anran who was standing in front.

"Oh, why are you here?"

The girl holding the cat bag pushed her glasses, and she got into the car nimbly.The meow in the cat bag uttered a pitiful cry. It has been screaming all the way since it was stuffed into the cat bag. Even if the small battery car has started and is slowly moving towards the side door of the Forbidden City, it will not give up.If an uninformed person listens to it, they will still think that the Forbidden City is abusing cats in broad daylight.

Xia Anran silently glanced at the cat who was yelling all kinds of trash, and raised her paw as a greeting to everyone.

The man sitting in the co-pilot reached out and poked Xia Anran's raised paw to complete the interaction. He laughed and joked, "The little collar must be rubbing against the air conditioner again."

"This kid is very shrewd. Didn't he stay in the garden of the Palace of Compassion? These days, the garden is preparing for the Forbidden City's New Year Exhibition. It may be a bit noisy, so he ran out to wander around. When he walked to Xiao Xu's place, he found There is a place where the air conditioner is directly blowing, so I can’t leave.” The woman stretched out her hand and licked the cat’s head twice, and then talked with her colleagues about the upcoming Spring Festival holiday.

Xia Anran took a ride, followed the screams of the cats in the cage, and wandered to the Donghua Gate for the staff to enter and exit, and then followed the car to the battery car parking lot.

After the car came to a complete stop, he jumped out of the car with a thud, greeted the driver with a "meow~", and ran to a place where the air conditioner could be blown.

In terms of heating, the main underground halls of the Forbidden City used to have a whole set of flue and air ducts, which could provide enough heat for the masters here in winter, but these flue ducts were basically blocked later.

Although repair and dredging work has also been carried out, it is only to prevent water from accumulating in the seats of the original flue underground in the palace, which will bring a lot of moisture and microbial reproduction.

The dredged underground passage does not have heating capacity.

After all, the buildings here are basically made of wood, afraid of water, fire, mold, and termites.Only by maintaining a relatively stable temperature and humidity can the world's national treasure be handed over to the next 600 years safely. It is naturally impossible to use the original passage for heating.

Due to the principle of cultural relics protection, many modern small household appliances do not exist here.Especially the cultural relics restoration team, where they have to fetch pure water early in the morning, and all electrical appliances need special approval before they can be brought in.Fortunately, the superiors approved the use of air conditioners, but today all the people from the cultural relics team went to a meeting, and they were not there, so the air conditioners would naturally not be turned on.

Xia Anran, who couldn't get air-conditioning in the West Sixth Palace, went to the East Sixth Palace. The Jingren Palace Bookstore here is an online celebrity bookstore. On the one hand, it sells cultural creations of the Forbidden City, and on the other hand, it is because... there is a The resident cat is only called Aobai.

As the saying goes, the place where cats stay for a long time must be the most comfortable place at home, and this principle is completely applicable to cats in the Forbidden City.

The reason why Aobai Meow often lives here is——

Xia Anran trotted, he crossed the steps lightly, passed through the plastic curtain that blocked the wind from the air conditioner, he immediately felt the heating that made Mao Mao stand on end.

"Meow~~" he yelled, as a greeting to the staff who were sorting out the store's goods today, then he looked around and found a black and white lion cat, "Meow~"

It's so cold outside today, can I stay here for a while?

With red-gold eyes and a black-and-white face like Zorro, the big cat looks mighty and domineering, but in fact it has a very gentle personality.The big cat just took one look at him, then stretched his body and acquiesced in his entry.

Xia Anran walked in with kitten steps, he looked left and right, found a seat facing the air outlet of the air conditioner, and jumped on it.After a while, the exhilarating feeling of the hot air drying the snow-soaked fur made him squint his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

"Speaking of which, Chinese New Year is coming soon."

"Yes, it's a pity we didn't have a holiday."

That's right, for tourist attractions, holidays are the peak passenger flow, and the vacation of the staff here is completely the opposite of the shift system outside.

"By the way, teachers, what kind of meeting did they go to today? Talking about preparations for the Chinese New Year?"

"It doesn't seem to be. Doesn't this one take 600 years? With the residual warmth of "National Treasure", it is possible that the Expo and the nearby museum will hold a joint exhibition."

"Isn't it all full this year?"

"That's not it, who honored the guests who are coming this time?"

"Gu Bo and Hebei Bo have made an agreement, maybe there is a chance to move their Han tomb here."

"Tell me, if you can bring [Mancheng Han Tomb], [Nanyue King's Tomb], [Mawangdui] and [Haihunhou Tomb] together to hold a great man's swan song..."

Xia Anran shook her ears, turned from a prone position to a sitting position, and slowly narrowed her dark almond eyes.
