Chapter 2 The cat demon is rare
Chapter 2 The cat demon is rare
Since the miraculous recovery of the Wang family's wheat field, the family in Yingman Village has been proud of themselves.Zhong Wan expected that Aunt Wang might be arrogant and arrogant for a while, so she tried to reduce the number of times she went out to avoid the edge.Unexpectedly, on this day, he suddenly saw Wang Xiaodou squatting at the door of the courtyard next door, sobbing and crying. He felt strange and asked him what was going on.
"My mother is sick, hoot, she has been lying in bed for three days."
They are all neighbors, Zhong Wan had to express it after knowing this.He went to pick up a few eggs, put them in a bowl and sent them to Wang Boshan.
The layout of the Wang family's house is filled with a mysterious atmosphere of primitive worship. There is a picture of a nine-tailed cat demon suppressing evil on the door, a four-eared cat made of cloth is placed on each side of the table, and a rather A strange picture of ten thousand cats singing together.When Zhong Wan saw it for the first time, he felt that the ancient people's imagination was so rich that even cats could grow their necks and howl, so there was no way for wolves to survive.
Wang Boshan took the eggs and thanked them repeatedly.People in the village don't pay much attention to the defense of men and women, and Wang Boshan wanted to complain to Zhong Wan, so he raised the curtain of the back room far away, and explained bitterly: "I don't know what disease this woman has, since the day before yesterday Then I was always sleepy, my eyes were swollen like big peaches, and I couldn’t do any work.”
Zhong Wan saw that Mrs. Wang had a disheveled complexion and dark circles around her eyes, as if she was overworked.He comforted him a few times, but he didn't dare to ask Wang Boshan if he had begged Lord Cat Demon.The last time he mentioned a cat demon, Wang Boshan popularized with him the deeds of the cat demon for a long time like a chicken blood. The mental state of the madman is the same as a certain Lun Gong.
When I returned home after working in the field, I did not see the cat I picked up two days ago.Zhong Wan believed that the cat was spiritual, so he didn't look for it. Anyway, it returned to its nest safely and peacefully before going to bed two days ago.
And Li Xingchui, who was wandering among the mountains, is now carefully examining the topography of this village.He can't act rashly for the time being, at least he has to stay in this village until Sanwei and master the art of invisibility before he can sneak back into the demon realm.Therefore, finding spiritual acupoints has become a top priority.After three days of investigation, Li Xingchui discovered to his dismay that this village was actually a rare place where spiritual energy was barren, and there was not even a single spiritual point.
He walked into the small broken room with his cat ears drooping, and looked up to see Zhong Wan leaning on the bed reading a short story book.
Staring at the rag basket of the temporary cat nest with disgust, Li Xingchui endured the torment in his heart, closed his eyes and lay down in it.
Zhong Wan read the book for half an hour, rubbed his eyes, picked up the cat and checked it, "Well, it's still clean, it seems that you already know how to lick yourself to clean the hair."
idiot!
Li Xingchui licked the cat's paw, turned his back and pointed his butt at Zhong Wan.It's just a small spell to clean the hair, even a cat demon with a tail can cast it.Zhong Wan stroked his little yellow hair and murmured: "Since we want to raise you, we should give you a name."
If he had heard this a moment earlier, Li Xingchui would have been furious to stop Zhong Wan's stupid behavior, but he was so shocked right now that he couldn't even hear what Zhong Wan was saying clearly.He didn't feel wrong, every time this idiot touched him, there would always be a faint aura pouring in, making his whole body comfortable.Two days ago, Li Xingchui thought it was because of his lack of morality after being seriously injured, which caused an illusion, but in the past three days, he had fully circulated the aura in his body during his cultivation, and at this moment when he was lacking, he naturally felt more deeply.
"Okay, Sanhuang, let's call it Sanhuang!"
Li Xingchui in this room was still in doubt, while Zhong Wan in that room had already decided on his name.
"Sanhuang, go to bed, we're going to the market tomorrow." Zhong Wan thought, Sanhuang was not like an ordinary cat, he was so agile at such a young age, maybe it would be more appropriate for him to choose his own food.
Li Xing went into the vegetable basket in a daze, and staggered to the ground.This name really doesn't fit his image of being wise and mighty, but with his current cultivation base, he can't transform into a human form. The only way is to sharpen his claws on the sleeping person on the bed.
Faint brown|Mao Tong stared at Zhong Wan in the dark in the middle of the night, and the rags in the basket made a strange sound.
Every fifth day of the lunar new year, the villagers of Yingman Village will take the ox cart at the entrance of the village and go to the village market.In the past months, Zhong Wan would go with Aunt Wang and two girls from the Wang family, but this time she was sick, and the Wang family stayed in the house to pray for blessings.
Along the way Zhong Wan walked alone, the villagers all showed surprise expressions when they greeted him. He walked for a while, looked down at San Huang who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and suddenly thought that he had never seen him in this village before. other cats.
Perhaps there were not many cats in the Great Chen Dynasty, so the villagers were so surprised.
After sitting on the pile of straw, Zhong Wan noticed that the aunt of Li Orhu's family next to him kept looking at his chest.As the bullock cart kept bumping, Sanhuang trembled in his arms, and woke up after a while.
Li Xingchui moved uncomfortably when he was in the crowded crowd, and his little head went straight into Zhong Wan's arms.Or this idiot's body is more comfortable, not only has refreshing air, but also doesn't smell like a stupid dog.
Aunt Li couldn't help but said, "Ah Wan, where did you get a cat? It's really strange."
Zhong Wan replied, "It was picked up."
"Hey, this is really a great luck." The person who spoke was Aunt Xu, another neighbor of Wang Boshan's family, who has always been at odds with Aunt Wang. I couldn't find one either, so Ah Wan was lucky."
Zhong Wan couldn't help being puzzled.In Yingman Village, dogs are the most common livestock. One is because most of the people here believe in dog demons, and the other is that dogs can guard the house and fields, which is very practical.And Zhong Wan was afraid of dogs since he was a child, and the fields were always safe, so he didn't keep dogs.Both Aunt Xu and Aunt Li have three dogs. They never fight aggressively, and sometimes spend a long time talking with the dogs, nagging about their parents.
Although he is not used to this kind of atmosphere, Zhong Wan still appreciates this kind of environment where he lives in harmony with animals.
In short, Sanhuang enjoyed the enthusiastic onlookers from the aunts, uncles and children, and relentlessly blocked the onlookers with their cat butts throughout the whole process, carrying out the aura of high-cold flowers from beginning to end.
Zhong Wan looked interesting, walked into the market, patted him on the back, and muttered: "Forget it, if you don't want to look at it, I'll go buy some cat food by the catty and stock up on it."
what? !
Li Xingchui gritted his teeth, wishing he could grind the rough linen collar with his teeth.He has been in the cat demon world for 20 years, and no one has dared to be so disrespectful to him, cat food?He, Li Xingchui, had never eaten cat food, not to mention the inexhaustible aura he had when he was in the demon world, even when he was in the mortal world, he was also very popular and spicy.
Glancing at the cat's eyes, a certain fool's expression of choosing food with great interest was caught in his eyes.Li Xingchui thought about it, when Zhong Wan knew his true identity, he would be so frightened that he begged for mercy, hugged his thigh tightly and begged to be taken in.Being wronged now is to torture him better in the future.
After thinking about it, Li Xing meowed twice with joy, and finally moved his body and popped his head out.This was the first time he had seen the scene of a rural market, thinking that it was only a day's time to fly from Jianzhou to Kyoto, and he couldn't help but feel novel when he had trekked in such a poor country.
In the market, there were cries of hawking and yelling one after another, the fat and tender fresh fish were dying in the basin, the butcher was chopping the pork with a bang, and the old lady standing in front of Zhong Wan was spitting and haggling over the price.Zhong Wan was also moved, and lowered her head and whispered into Li Xinglou's ear, "Sanhuang, I heard that the pig's trotters here are the best, but they are a bit expensive. Keep your noble and glamorous style, and see how I bargain." .”
As soon as the lady in the front left, Zhong Wan who followed behind asked with a smile, "Boss, how do you sell your pig's trotters?"
"Two slings for a catty." The butcher saw that Zhong Wan had a fair face, although he was wearing linen clothes, but he had an outstanding temperament, and he was holding a hard-to-find cat in his arms, so he immediately called out twice the price.
"Two pennies?" Unexpectedly, Zhong Wan, who was still smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression, "I heard that the pork of the boss's family is famous throughout Fengshou Township, but I didn't know that this reputation was supported by selling high-priced pork. The name is so misleading, when I get home, I should talk about it and break the rumor."
The butcher was startled, and thought he was a son of a family who came to play in the city, and immediately lost his smile, "This son is joking, just now I called for the price of crispy pig's trotters, my mother-in-law's family dish. Master Ruodan When buying pig’s trotters, it’s like a penny for a catty.”
Zhong Wan sneered, "How do I know if your words are true or not? In my opinion, this pig's trotter can sell for at most three hundred yuan a catty." As he spoke, he patted Li Xingchui's head and coaxed: "Sanhuang, Can I take you to eat fish?"
Thinking of saving money to buy pig's trotters so that he could save money and buy a few more fish, Li Xingchui let out a cold meow in cooperation, and looked at the butcher with cat eyes, his noble and glamorous look was more than a prince.
"Master cat, cat, cat demon!" The butcher cut up the pig's trotters and handed it to Zhong Wan with trembling hands, waving his hands repeatedly and saying that he didn't want money.This attitude was even more exaggerated than Zhong Wan expected.
"Can I still cheat your money? Three hundred coins, take it." Zhong Wan held the pig's trotters, stroking Li Xingchui's yellow hair and said to himself, "Is the cat demon so powerful? Is it because the cat is here?" Is it rare here?"
Li Xingchui rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that he is really a countryman, who dared to take himself out to show off without even knowing the status of cats in the Great Chen Dynasty.He raised his paw and patted Zhong Wan's arm.Don't worry, this demon will cover you.
Walking along Ganji Avenue all the way, the fishy smell scrambled over. Li Xing shrugged his nose, meowed loudly, and struggled to get out.Zhong Wan held him down, thought seriously for a while, and said, "Be obedient, Sanhuang, when I get back, I'll buy you the fish sold by Uncle Liu at the entrance of the village, it's cheap and fresh."
Short-sighted fool!
Li Xingchui's pad paws slapped Zhong Wan's face, and the latter calmly picked it off.
The author has something to say: The expression of the cat owner looking down on the world is probably like this:
