Chapter 31: Do You Have a Cat?

After Black and White Impermanence led the two ghosts away, Qiao Ming and Gou Rixin sat down on the ground, letting go of their breathing and panting. The blood stains on his hands gradually subsided, but Qiao Ming still scrubbed in the bathroom for a long time, until he confirmed that the touch and smell of blood were gone.

The next day, Qi Lanxi was dragged by Wen Xin and went to the hospital again. Qiao Ming took a cat and a dog for a walk casually.

"Qiao Ming, can you really touch that little ghost?" asked Gou Rixin cautiously.

"Can't you touch it too?" Qiao Ming asked rhetorically.

"But I'm a civet, you're a human being. โ€

Qiao Ming rolled his eyes and didn't answer. She was different, but she didn't like the difference at all, she didn't want to see them, and she didn't want to touch them.

She once held Niu Xiaohua's hand, those hands were cold and piercing, without a trace of softness, and they are still creepy when she recalls, and she also sewed the corpse of Qiao Qishan, like a ruthless executioner. She didn't want to remember those scenes again for the rest of her life.

"Maybe it's because you have a destiny. Gou Rixin said.

"Mandate of Heaven?" Qiao Ming sneered, "What Mandate of Heaven?"

"Me!"

"What?"

"Help me find my past and present lives, and find the way to reincarnation. Gou Rixin was a little excited about this cognition, "Are you right?"

Qiao Ming's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked at Gou Rixin with a vigilant expression, "Are you trying to blackmail me?"

"What am I doing to you, I just think we two..."

"There are no two of us," Qiao Ming squatted down, pinched Gou Rixin's cat ears, and emphatically emphasized, "Only, you, and, me." โ€

Gou Rixin slapped Qiao Ming's hand away with one paw, and rubbed his ears with dissatisfaction. Wen Dou'er on the side ran over and stuck out her tongue to help him lick the cat's head. Gou Rixin stiffened instantly, this... This is in front of Qiao Ming, he doesn't want to lose face!

The black cat meowed and jumped away instantly, Wen Douer didn't know why, so she pounced left and right to chase Gou Rixin and ran.

"Uncle, run, I'll chase you~"

"Damn!

Qiao Ming, who was still squatting on the ground, was stunned at first, and when he saw a cat and a dog chasing in the snow, he instantly laughed, "Come on, Gou Rixin, I won the noon and I will give you more food!"

Coming back from Lakeview Park, Qiao Ming deliberately took a cat and a dog around the community, and sure enough, he found an obituary posted at the door of a villa with a black and white photo of an old man. The door of the villa was closed, and there was still a door god on it, and I don't know if the old man knocked on the door had his own home.

"Are you back?" Wen Xin opened the door of the backyard and greeted Qiao Ming and them with a smile.

"What's the happy event, full of spring breeze?" Qiao Ming asked with a smile.

"Yes, the neighbor said that there was a sneaky person yesterday, who jumped into the snowdrift at the door in the middle of the night, smashed a big hole, and asked the property to investigate. โ€

โ€œยทยทยท It's not going to be a big pit. "Obviously... She looks so petite and cute, Qiao Ming lowered his head and picked his fingers.

"Why don't you go and see it?" My mom and her neighbors are studying the pit. โ€

"Hey, hey, hey..." Qiao Ming smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, he was hugged by Wen Xin all of a sudden, only to hear her voice choked up and said, "Thank you." โ€

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the ice and snow have not melted, but it is the first time that Qiao Ming has felt warm since the Chinese New Year.

She has good friends that she will cherish for the rest of her life.

Niu Xiaohua's death made Qiao Ming realize her difference, but she was unwilling to accept it, and she also hid herself deeply. The only relaxing moment is to accompany grandma and grandpa.

Qiao Ming's grandmother Wang Yuhua is a junior high school Chinese teacher, and his grandfather Niu Jun is a junior high school history teacher. Now the retirement life of the two elders eats and worships Buddha, raises flowers and grass, reads and practices calligraphy, and travels and writes. Because of the last hobby, Qiao Ming can tell stories about what he sees and hears.

At this time, grandma and grandpa would take a notebook and sit in front of Qiao Ming while listening and taking notes, quite serious about studying.

It's a pity that after Qiao Ming went to junior high school, Qiao Qishan rarely took her to see the second elder, only once or twice a year. Qiao Ming's stories made her digest them as dreams.

"Will your grandma and grandfather like me?" Gou Rixin, who was lying in the cat box, suddenly felt a kind of anxiety about his ugly daughter-in-law seeing his in-laws.

"Of course, they love cats the most. Qiao Ming smiled and said.

But Gou Rixin always felt that there was bad intentions in that smile.

The elevator clanged and stopped on the sixth floor. Qiao Ming walked out of the elevator with the cat box, Gou Rixin suddenly stood up, his whole body was on alert, he smelled the smell of cats!

The closer he got, the stronger his breath became, until Qiao Ming stopped at the door of a house, and Gou Rixin was completely furious, "You... Do you have a cat here!"

"yes, just to be your companion. Qiao Ming smiled and knocked on the door.

The door slammed open, "Oh, it's Xiao Ming, come in, come in." An old woman happily pulled Qiao Ming into the house.

"Come on, bring something, don't do it in the future. Seeing the things Qiao Ming was carrying, Qiao Ming's grandmother Wang Yuhua feigned anger and said.

"Got it, this is the wine Wen Xin gave you both. Qiao Ming smiled, and then pointed to the cat box, "This is the little black cat I talked about with you, Gou Rixin." โ€

"Yes, come on, get to know Pudding quickly. โ€

"Come on, come on, sister," said an old man with white hair coming out of the bathroom, followed by a large, fluffy snow-white Ragdoll cat.

"Pudding, come here, let my sister hug. Qiao Ming ran to the side of the Ragdoll and picked the cat up, "Oh my God, it's so heavy, and it's fat, isn't it?"

"No, they're all big girls. Qiao Ming's grandfather Niu Jun said.

Pudding meekly lay in Qiao Ming's arms and let out a grandmother's meow.

"This cat can be released, right?" Wang Yuhua bent down and looked at Gou Rixin in the cat box.

"Yes, I'll put it in. Qiao Ming hugged the pudding and reached out to open the lid of the cat box. Everyone saw a black cat's head poking out, with amber eyes open, rotating three hundred and sixty degrees to observe the surroundings, and then retracted without hesitation.

"What's going on?

"Hey, Gou Rixin, if you don't come out, stay inside. Qiao Ming said funny, I don't know what Gou Rixin means.

"This cat, why is it so dark. Wang Yuhua narrowed his eyes and looked at the meow in the cat box.

"Black cats. Qiao Ming said.

"I can't see what it looks like, old man, come and see, what breed it is, is it a Bombay cat? or is it short? It looks quite fat. The two old men gathered around and observed Gou Rixin.

"It's just an ordinary Chinese pastoral cat," Qiao Ming teased the pudding in his arms, rubbing his face into the long fluff, feeling the soft silkiness, "It's still our pudding princess cute and charming, isn't it?"

"Why are there flowers tied to the tail? Isn't it male?"

"If you're hurt, cover up. โ€

"Don't be in a hurry to come out, probably recognize life, I'll go get a small dried fish to tease. Niu Jun stood up and went to the kitchen to get cat food.

Qiao Ming hugged the pudding and leaned over, "Gou Rixin, are you going to live inside?" There is a beautiful woman here~ Fluffy soft girl. She grabbed Pudding's paw and shook it at Gou Rixin.

Pudding meowed softly, curiously inquiring about the movement in the cat's box.

"Why didn't you tell me I had a cat in the house before you came. Gou Rixin said with a pout, still an old acquaintance cat.

"Isn't this a surprise for you, look, the pudding is pretty, right?

Meow~ Pudding struggled to jump out of Qiao Ming's arms and circled around the cat box. Gou Rixin shrank inside, distraught.

"What a hypocrisy. Qiao Ming stretched out his paw and lifted Gou Rixin out, "Waiting for the eight sedan chairs to invite you out?"

"Come on, here comes the dried fish. Niu Jun took a bag of small dried fish and shook it as he walked.

The pudding smelled the smell, and meowed on his grandfather's trouser leg, but Gou Rixin didn't even glance at it, and squatted at Qiao Ming's feet.

"Let him get familiar with the environment first, and play with the pudding for a while, probably he won't be rusty. Wang Yuhua said, and then took Qiao Ming's hand and sat on the sofa in the living room, "Look at you, you will become a big girl in a blink of an eye, just like your mother at that time." As he spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red.

"Why are you talking about this, Xiao Ming finally came here," Niu Jun hurriedly interrupted and changed the topic, "What do you want to eat at noon, grandpa will make it for you." โ€

"I want to eat a lot, braised pork ribs, sauerkraut fish, fried meat with chili. Qiao Ming hugged his grandmother's arm and smiled.

"Okay, grandma will do it for you, you say... Your dad is also gone, who will cook so many dishes for you in the future. The old man next to him couldn't help but choke again.

"I said, you're old for the New Year," Niu Jun sighed and asked Qiao Ming again, "How long can you stay this time?"

"I'll stay as long as you keep me. Qiao Ming said with a smile.

"You girl," Wang Yuhua wiped her tears and nodded her nose, "Then you can stay until you get married." โ€

"Okay!" Qiao Ming said dryly.

Meow~ After eating the small dried fish, the pudding jumped on the sofa tiredly, lying next to Qiao Ming, it seemed that he was an old friend for a long time. Qiao Ming grinned and touched her head.

Gou Rixin, who was squatting on the side, pulled down his face and turned his head away with a light snort.

He took a step and began to look around.

Qiao Ming's grandmother's house is a three-bedroom, one-living room and two-bathroom house, with two bedrooms and a study, and the living room has a spacious outdoor balcony with a pudding's cat nest next to it. On the opposite side of the balcony, there is a small park in the lush greenery.

After inspecting the territory, Gou Rixin went back to the living room and found that Qiao Ming and the Ragdoll were still tired, and he was indignant. This cat, Te clingy.

When Pudding saw Gou Rixin, he jumped off the sofa with a soft meow and circled around Gou Rixin. Gou Rixin snorted impatiently, ready to go to the balcony to bask in the sun. Suddenly sensing a surge of breath behind him, Gou Rixin turned around in shock, but was scratched by the pudding's tail all of a sudden.

"Damn!" Gou Rixin fried his hair, "Didn't you say she was a soft girl!"

"Haha, look at what scares you. Qiao Ming laughed when he saw this.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Wang Yuhua poked his head out when he heard the voice, and saw Pudding and Gou Rixin raising their tails to confront each other, and was anxious for a while, "Pudding, come here!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Qiao Ming smiled and hurriedly walked over to pull the rack, "The bow tied on Gou Rixin's tail may be a pudding that looks strange and wants to catch it and play with it." โ€

As he spoke, he walked over and held down Gou Rixin, and took off the red bow without saying a word, and handed it to the pudding, "Come on, my sister got it down for you, do you like it?"

Gou Rixin meowed, furious, "Qiao Ming, have you asked my opinion!"

"Don't be so stingy," Qiao Ming raised an eyebrow, then looked at the pudding with the bow torn, "You see how happy the pudding is, you can give it to her as a gift." โ€

Gou Rixin bared his teeth and roared, glaring at the pudding, kicking his nose and face like this on the first day, this beam is bigger!

Pudding is a clingy six-year-old female cat, with a snow-white body, only a gray-brown head and tail, blue pupils shining like jewels, a thick coat, thick limbs, but a very soft body, like a soft puppet.

The most pleasing thing is that he has a docile and quiet personality, and his voice is soft, and every time he screams, the soft Qiao Ming's heart will melt. With such a cute thing, Qiao Ming decisively abandoned Gou Rixin and was willing to be a pudding's shovel officer.

At lunchtime, Gou Rixin unceremoniously jumped on a chair and took a seat.

"This cat, do you want to serve it for dinner?" Wang Yuhua wondered.

"Yes, yes, I got used to it when I was in school. โ€

Different from Wen Xin's rectangular dining table, the dining table in front of him is a small square table that can only accommodate four people. It's weird.

"Alright, let's eat. Niu Jun spoke, and carefully handed Gou Rixin a pair of chopsticks.

Gou Rixin was stunned, his paws tightened slightly, but he pretended to bow his head and eat his cat food as if nothing happened.

"Why are you handing the chopsticks?" asked Wang Yuhua quietly.

"I thought he would use it. Niu Jun whispered.

Qiao Ming was speechless when he heard this.

"Uh-huh," Niu Jun cleared his throat, sandwiched a piece of ribs for Qiao Ming, and asked, "Xiao Ming, can you really talk to him?"

"Hmm. Qiao Ming nodded.

"Okay, you ask him what he likes to eat, you're welcome. โ€

"Fish Fish Fish ยท Gou Rixin meowed excitedly, staring straight at a steamed fish on the table, the meat was delicious and had no miscellaneous taste.

He said he likes to eat cat food. Qiao Ming translated.

"Meow โ€”โ€”!"

"Oh, it looks like pudding," Wang Yuhua nodded knowingly, "How old is this cat?"

"Four years old!" Gou Rixin said busily.

"Four or five years old. โ€

"That's quite young, a year younger than Pudding, where is your hometown, and do you have any relatives?" asked Niu Jun.

"My ancestral home is Thorn Fox Temple, and my relatives were separated in an accident. Gou Rixin recalled, slightly sad.

"We picked it up at the school gate, and I don't know any of my relatives. Qiao Ming replied.

"Meow!"

"And does he know what breed he is?"

"Of course, I'm a civet with nine lives, and now I'm looking for my past life, and now I'm probably certain that I've been relegated to a mortal history. Gou Rixin said heavily.

"Chinese pastoral cats. Qiao Ming said casually.

"I'm angry, you can't translate!" Gou Rixin meowed.

"Then you ask, can he understand Pudding?" Wang Yuhua asked with a smile.

"Occasionally, after all, I've been a cat for years. Gou Rixin licked his paws.

"Yes, whatever you want, just ask. Qiao Ming patted his chest and promised.

Gou Rixin was stunned and stared at Qiao Ming angrily.

"That's good, that's good, let's eat first, let him be a translator later, and let's talk to Pudding." The two old men said happily.

Gou Rixin finished eating, jumped out of his chair to bask in the sun, and Pudding meowed softly and followed him.

"Were you sent to breed with me?"

"Damn!" Gou Rixin's feet slipped and stumbled suddenly, "What are you talking about?"

"But, you're a little dark, and a little small," Pudding shook the cat off, his fan-like tail wagging gently, "barely." As he spoke, he meowed and approached Gou Rixin step by step.

"You... Don't come here!" Gou Rixin was so shocked that he stepped back step by step, his whole body exploding.

"It seems that you don't have much experience," Pudding meowed, "don't be afraid, I'll teach you." โ€

"You... Shameless!" Gou Rixin meowed and turned around and ran, the pudding behind him slowly followed, she was familiar with every corner of this house, where did this black cat want to run?

Qiao Ming, who had just eaten up, held up his round stomach and turned on the TV to watch cats and mice. Unexpectedly, Gou Rixin's Mount Tai pressed the top and smashed on her stomach, instantly making her full stomach hurt and almost breathless.

"Gou... Rixin, you go down for me!" Qiao Ming pushed Gou Rixin away, stroked his stomach and gasped. Damn, you really can't eat too much.

"You explain it to me!" Gou Rixin saw Pudding coming over, hurriedly jumped on the back of the sofa, hid behind Qiao Ming, and hugged her head.

"Explain what?" Qiao Ming asked with a wrinkled face.

At this time, Pudding had already jumped on the sofa lightly, resting his head on Qiao Ming's lap, and meowed softly, as if he was coquettish.

"Lao Tzu is not here to breed with her!"

"What?
