The row of dilapidated wings in front of me is surrounded by messy wild grass, and the broken plaques are mottled with paint, and the original handwriting can no longer be seen.

Maybe one or two hundred years ago, there was a noble concubine who was beaten into the cold palace and lived here for a long time, and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha lived here.

Or, an old eunuch who was a smash hit but suddenly fell out of favor once hanged himself here with a white silk.

It is more likely that more than one palace lady was embarrassed by the embarrassment and humiliation of concubines or eunuchs......

The rumors of the Forbidden City being haunted for a long time have always been talked about, because there are too many unknown secrets in the palace.

Witnessing the process of Wen Li shouting at the empty house, and thinking of these again, Zhang Zi'an felt a chill in his back - he was not afraid, but more weird, after all, it was now broad daylight, even if there were ghosts, he couldn't toss it, but he felt that Wen Li, as a dignified employee of the Forbidden City, should not engage in this kind of feudal superstitious activities, right?

After Wen Li finished shouting, she lifted the door panel that was useless and put it aside, and entered the house by herself. After a while, she found that Zhang Zi'an didn't follow up, so she walked out again.

"Please come in. She gestured as usual.

"That...... There is one thing I don't vomit and be unhappy about, who were you talking to just now?" Zhang Zi'an still asked.

Wen Li was stunned, and immediately came to her senses, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm talking to Da Zhuang!"

It turned out that every night, the staff of the Forbidden City would lock the doors of each palace when they got off work, and when they came to work the next morning, they would receive the key to open the palace door.

Before opening the door, most employees follow the conventional rule of coughing loudly or shouting "I'm in" – not to the lonely ghosts wandering in the Forbidden City, but to the small animals that live in the palace, to remind them that someone is coming in and to prevent them from being frightened.

The Forbidden City is dominated by wooden buildings, with many trees and grass, a vast area, and a quiet environment in the unopened area, and the entire Forbidden City is almost empty at night. In addition to stray cats, there are other small animals such as weasels, snakes, hedgehogs, etc., and no one knows when they moved in.

People shout outside the door to remind these small animals to be prepared, to hide, to run, so as not to jump out of the door and hurt or scare people.

This tradition does not begin now, but can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, because the more than 8,000 houses in the Forbidden City cannot all be inhabited, and the vacant houses may be entrenched by small animals. Shout before entering the door, so that the small animals consciously retreat, and the human well water does not interfere with the river water.

After she explained in detail, Zhang Zi'an suddenly realized. Sure enough, interlacing is like a mountain, not to say that I don't know, all walks of life have their own old rules, the cultural relics workers of the Forbidden City, and the pet industry, just like the "Xiang Cat Sutra" said not to buy kittens under four months old, in fact, it is also an empirical talk, but now few people abide by it.

Zhang Zi'an put his heart back in his stomach and followed her into the dim room.

"Be careful, it's dark in the house, don't stumble. Wen Li kindly reminded, and then waved her hand to the corner, "Da Zhuang, we came to see you." ”

The Forbidden City also has a feature, that is, there are very few lighting equipment in the palace, which is for fire prevention, but this also causes every palace to be very dim, just from the sunny outdoor into the house, the eyes will not be able to adapt to it for a while.

Zhang Zi'an stood in place for a while, and when his eyes adjusted to the light, he followed Wen Li's line of sight to look at the corner.

There is a straw mat on which an orange cat squats, and next to it is an aluminum water basin and a food bowl.

In terms of the average size of the stray cat in the Forbidden City and the average size of the orange cat, this orange cat is really not fat, and it can even be said to be quite slim.

It drooped its head listlessly as if it hadn't woken up, and when it heard Wen Li's call, it glanced up at her, and it could tell by the look that it knew her, but quickly lowered its head again.

The room was dark, a little far away, and the specific situation was not clear, but Zhang Zi'an could see a trace of sparkling saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth.

Wen Li introduced: "This is Da Zhuang, before I joined here, it was here, it is a very old cat, I don't know how old it is." In the past two days, it has suddenly become very unenergetic, and sometimes drooling, which we think may be the reason for its age. ”

After Zhang Zi'an entered the house, he kept standing at the door, and his body blocked the way into the door.

Fina's natural curiosity made it want to go inside the house, but he couldn't get in the way, and he didn't want to deign to jump out of the window, so she kept pulling at the corners of his pants behind him to get him out of the way.

Zhang Zi'an pinned one hand behind him, and secretly kept waving his hand, signaling for the elves not to follow up and play in the yard.

He is not a practicing veterinarian, but he knows more about the common diseases of cats and dogs, and he can see at a glance that the cat's condition is not right, and it may have some kind of infectious disease.

If the elves follow suit, there is a risk of infection.

Wen Li wanted to walk over and carry Da Zhuang outside to bask in the sun, but was stopped by Zhang Zi'an.

"Wait, it may have a contagious disease. He said, reaching out from his trouser pocket and pulling out disposable plastic gloves and putting them on.

He doesn't know the prophet, how can he prepare disposable gloves in advance?

This glove is given when buying breakfast outside the Forbidden City, so that customers will not get covered in hand oil when eating. He bought more breakfast because he had to feed the elves, and the stall owner thought he was buying more than one portion, so he gave him a few more pairs of disposable gloves. After he used one pair, the other pairs were reluctant to throw away, so he stuffed them into his trouser pocket, but he didn't expect to use them......

Speaking of which, the capital is exquisite, and even the breakfast stall comes with disposable gloves, so that white-collar beauties and CBD elites can avoid the trouble of washing their hands after breakfast, of course, the price is also very particular, and the wool is out of the sheep.

Wen Li didn't know the inside story, but when she saw that he actually kept disposable gloves with him, she felt a little more admiration in her heart, and said that she was really a professional, but it was different.

The tricolor cat Xiaoxue also followed, and Zhang Zi'an asked Wen Li to stop it and not let it in.

He slowly approached Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang did not welcome his arrival, shaking his head in annoyance, sticking out his tongue and salivaing everywhere, but due to his exhaustion, he could not resist or run away - which also meant that there was something wrong with his nose and he could not smell Fina's scent.

Zhang Zi'an put his hand on the back of its neck, grabbed it from behind unexpectedly, then picked it up, and semi-forcibly pinched its mouth open, and saw large ulcers from its mouth and tongue.
