Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Rainstorm Comes
The small bottle before had already caused a lot of trouble to Chu Sheng when it was transported back, and now facing this large bottle of Coke, Chu Sheng naturally had an even more headache.
After holding the bottle in his mouth for less than two minutes, Chu Sheng felt that the muscles in his mouth were extremely sore, and his saliva couldn't stop wanting to flow down.
In desperation, Chu Sheng put down the bottle and asked the tanuki cat behind him for help.
The tanuki cat looked at the Coke bottle and tilted her head to think for a while, then ran over decisively.
Instead of biting the mouth of the Coke bottle with his teeth like Chu Sheng, the Tanuki cat used another method, that is, he directly pushed the Coke bottle on the ground with his paws and rolled forward.
Seeing this scene, Chu Sheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"It's over, when a cat has been a cat for a long time, my IQ has degraded..."
Chu Sheng, who felt a little panicked, couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground on the spot.
Seeing that Chu Sheng still stopped in place and didn't follow, the tanuki cat, which had already run a long distance, turned around and barked at it.
"I was a person who was a person for more than 20 years in my previous life......"
After laughing at himself again, Chu Sheng took a step forward and ran towards the tanuki cat.
Rolling the bottle all the way back to the community, he buckled the iron door downstairs twice with his claws, and after finding that the iron door was not hidden but really closed today, Chu Sheng couldn't help but be a little glad for the good luck of last night.
Holding the Coke bottle with his paws and letting it stand next to the wall, Chu Sheng and the tanuki cat started playing in front of the door.
With the gradual rise of the rising sun in the east, the community is once again full of vitality. The early birds began to fly up the branches in flocks, chirping non-stop.
"Pedalβ"
Hearing the sound of people walking downstairs from inside the iron gate, the tanuki cat immediately stopped fighting with Chu Sheng and hurriedly hid under the shadow of the flowers and trees in the flower bed not far away.
Downstairs was a middle-aged man, who opened the door and hooked the iron door with the hook next to him.
When the others were gone, the tanuki cat immediately sprang out of the flower bed and prepared to return to his cave. However, Chu Sheng quickly stepped forward to stop it.
Yewing at the tanuki cat, and pointing to the corridor with his paws, Chu Sheng turned around and dragged the Coke bottle up the stairs.
The tanuki hesitated at the door for a long time, always poking its head uneasily and not daring to step forward, lest a person suddenly appear on any floor.
Chu Sheng, who had already run up to the corner of the first floor, ran down helplessly when he saw this, pushed the tanuki cat with his paws from behind, and forcibly pushed it up the stairs.
At this moment, the tanuki cat suddenly became a little anxious, obviously a little restless. If Chu Sheng hadn't stopped him from behind, it is estimated that it would have fled here a long time ago.
After coming to the third floor so slowly, and pointing to the door of 302 with his paw, Chu Sheng slapped the iron door with his paw.
The unknown tanuki cat immediately ran to the staircase of the next floor in a panic and looked at Chu Sheng nervously.
Inside the door there was soon the sound of people walking in slippers.
When the door opened, Chu Sheng waved his paw at the tanuki cat that was still peeking at him, and then bit the Coke bottle and ran into the house.
With a bang, after the iron door closed, the tanuki cat flew downstairs.
Chu Sheng's purpose in doing this is very simple, it is simply to tell the tanuki cat that it has changed its place of residence. In this way, if there is something urgent in the future, the tanuki cat can come to it at any time. Although the probability of this happening is almost zero with the nature of a tanuki, it is better to know than not to know.
Ma Xiaofu, who was still a little resentful of Chu Sheng waking him up so early, immediately cracked his mouth like a trouser waist after seeing such a large bottle of monkey in Chu Sheng's mouth.
"Awesome!
After praising Chu Sheng happily and giving a thumbs up, Ma Xiaofu walked to the kitchen with the bottle.
The old method, rinsed a few times, and after confirming that it was clean, Ma Xiaofu soaked these Zhizhi monkeys and Bai Zhizhi with salt water.
As for the ones that were soaked last night, Ma Xiaofu drained them all and dried them.
Because he was woken up a little early by Chu Sheng, after washing up, he found that it was not half past six, so Ma Xiaofu simply began to fry the monkey.
When the oil temperature was about 50% hot, Ma Xiaofu poured a plate of monkeys into the pot.
Due to the short time, it was known that the moisture on the surface of the monkey was not completely dried. This slammed the pot, and the oil splashed everywhere, and the horse who was wearing short sleeves was suddenly splashed away by the oil, and he couldn't help but let out a strange scream in his mouth.
For the sake of safety, after finding a smock to put on, and holding the lid of the pot in front of him, Ma Xiaofu hurriedly stir-fried.
Under the slow frying on low heat, knowing that the color of the monkey's body surface soon turned golden, he took out one with a spatula and tasted the taste, and after confirming that it was perfect, Ma Xiaofu turned off the heat and got out of the pot with satisfaction.
To be able to eat this delicacy, Chu Sheng naturally has the greatest credit. In this regard, Ma Xiaofu was not stingy, and poured half of the fried monkeys into Chu Sheng's cat bowl.
happily shouted at Ma Xiaofu twice, and Chu Sheng lowered his head and ate. Feeling the crispy fragrance conveyed on his taste buds, Chu Sheng couldn't help but show a happy expression on his cat face.
"It's really delicious, it's not in vain that I worked so hard all night~"
Picking up a monkey with chopsticks and blowing it, and dipping it a little bit of salt, Ma Xiaofu walked into the bedroom.
Fangfang was still lying on the bed at this time, curled up in space and sleeping.
Ma Xiaofu lay on the bed and gently pushed Fangfang: "Fangfang, don't sleep, come and eat something good for you~ Open your mouth, ah~~"
Fangfang, who was woken up by Ma Xiaofu's shouting, was still a little dazed, and opened her mouth obediently without much thought, and Ma Xiaofu snickered and put the monkey into her mouth.
Fangfang, who didn't know what it was, chewed it defenselessly.
After confirming that Fangfang had swallowed the food in her mouth, Ma Xiaofu, who was watching from the sidelines, asked, "How is it?
"The taste is okay, it's very fragrant and crispy, but I don't taste anything. β
Trying to control his expression of wanting to laugh, Ma Xiaofu pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Why don't you guess what this is?" β
As soon as she heard that there was a reward, Fangfang, who was still sleepy, immediately cheered up and sat cross-legged wrapped in the quilt.
After tapping her chin with her index finger and thinking for a while, Fang Fang tentatively said, "Is it fried chicken fillet?" Although the texture and shape seem to be different, the taste is somewhat similar. β
Ma Xiaofu smiled and shook his head: "Guess again~"
"Then I can't guess, you just tell me?"
After laughing evilly, Ma Xiaofu said seriously: "The thing you eat is called a golden cicada." β
"What is a golden cicada?"
Fangfang, who didn't react for a while, showed a puzzled expression on her face.
Holding back a smile, Ma Xiaofu continued: "It's the old turtle you said. β
"Ah, is that the thing..."After learning the truth, Fangfang's face suddenly became a little ugly.
However, soon, Fangfang opened her mouth and added: "I didn't expect it to be so ugly but it tastes so good, is there anything else?Are you helping me get one, I still want to eat it~"
"I seriously suspect you pretended to show me yesterday......"
Speechless and a little disappointed, Ma Xiaofu scratched his head and walked out of the bedroom.
After Chu Sheng ate a few monkeys, he kept the rest. Last night, the tanuki cat put a lot of effort into it, and he couldn't let the family work in vain, so he had to be rewarded.
After staying up all night, it would be a lie to say that he was not sleepy, and after eating cat food, Chu Sheng lay on the sofa and fell asleep.
By the time Chu Sheng woke up, the originally bright living room had turned into a black patch.
"Why is it dark? Have I slept all day before I know it?"
Shaking his head in disbelief, Chu Sheng got up from the sofa and ran to the window.
Jumping up with his claws and hooking the edge of the window, Chu Sheng quickly climbed up.
The world outside the window had completely changed, the sky above was now full of black clouds, the wind shook the privet trees outside, the ground was full of broken flowers and fallen leaves, and the plastic bags flying all over the sky.
Chu Sheng couldn't help frowning, looking in the direction where the northern tanuki cat was and worried: "Is that tanuki cat's cave okay......
With worries in his heart, Chu Sheng couldn't sit still.
After checking whether all the windows in the room were closed, Chu Sheng pushed a chair and opened the door, and ran out with the packed fried monkey and a few cans of cat canned food.
Even if the tanuki cat's burrow can really withstand the heavy rain, but if the heavy rain lasts for a long time, going out to hunt will also be a problem, and Chu Sheng doesn't want to see his cat friend hungry.
The wind outside was exaggerated, and Chu Cheng thought that he was already very strong, but at the tuyere, it still had a feeling that it was going to be blown away at any time.
Resisting the wind and struggling to the place where the cave was located, Chu Sheng saw the tanuki cat who was urgently expanding the cave.
Seeing that Chu Sheng brought food to see him, the tanuki cat stopped temporarily.
After rubbing Chu Sheng affectionately, the tanuki cat happily enjoyed the fruits of his labor last night.
Chu Sheng took advantage of this kung fu to drill into the cave ** and took a look, and found that the cave had expanded a lot, especially in the place where the tanuki cat slept, and now there was a small pit about twenty centimeters high, which seemed to be a temporary strategy used by the tanuki cat to prevent water from flowing into the nest.
Although he didn't know much about the weather, and he didn't look at the weather forecast last night, but looking at the momentum of the black pressure and the state of the wind, Chu Sheng felt that this precautionary measure was very sufficient.
Yewing at the tanuki a few times, Chu Sheng motioned for it to go with him and hide in the building built by people.
However, the tanuki cat was unwilling to leave with Chu Sheng. After eating the fried monkey, it started to get busy again.
Humming helplessly, Chu Sheng also went into the cave to help the tanuki expand the cave.
Chu Sheng and the Tanuki took turns digging and transporting soil, and they were very busy.
The wind outside was getting stronger, and the sky was getting more and more overcast.
After a few lightning bolts and thunderstorms, the heavy rain that had been suppressed for a long time finally fell.
The rain came very quickly, which made Chu Sheng suddenly difficult. Originally, according to its idea, it planned to help the tanuki expand its burrow first, and when raindrops fell, it would quickly run to the community. But now, this heavy rain doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, and it is terrible as soon as it comes up, which directly disrupts Chu Sheng's plan.
"Hey, it looks like I can't go back for the time being. β
After some hesitation, Chu Sheng finally gave up the stupid idea of running home in the heavy rain.
Since he couldn't go home for the time being, Chu Sheng simply went into the cave and lay down with the tanuki cat.
After the two cats expanded, the cave extended nearly twenty centimeters inside, and the cistern was much wider.
After the tanuki cat took the canned cat that Chu Sheng brought to him and bit it open with his teeth, he and Chu Sheng ate it in one bite.
The sky outside was very gloomy, and the cave ** could almost be said to be bleak.
The tanuki cat should have been too tired and tired after working for a long time, and after eating the canned cat food, it leaned on Chu Sheng and fell asleep.
Because Chu Sheng had just woken up, he was not too sleepy at this time, so he was bored and pulled up with his paws on the cave wall.
It's just that this state didn't last long, and under the double hypnosis of the wind and rain, Chu Sheng soon yawned again.
Getting up and going to the entrance of the cave to look at the rain curtain that was still like a curtain outside, Chu Sheng turned around and went back to the tanuki cat and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but Chu Sheng, who was asleep, felt something pull his cheek again.
Originally, he thought it was just a dream, but after opening his eyes, Chu Sheng saw the civet cat's claws falling again in the faint light.
"Can't you just call someone to wake up in a gentler way...."
After muttering dissatisfiedly in his heart, and after yawning loudly, Chu Sheng turned over and got up.
It didn't matter if he turned over, Chu Sheng suddenly found that the emergency prevention hole he had dug with the tanuki cat had been filled with most of the rainwater at this time.
Moreover, more rain is still flowing in from the outside to the inside along the ground of the cave.
"Isn't it....."
Faintly having a bad premonition, Chu Sheng hurriedly stepped on the muddy cave floor and crawled out.
"Whoa!"
As soon as he came to the corner of the cave, Chu Sheng heard the sound of huge rain outside.
Outside the cave, it was already white, and the field of vision was also compressed so badly that even with Chu Sheng's eyes, he could only see a place three or four meters away at this time.
The ground was already watery, and if it weren't for the slightly higher position of the tanuki's burrow, it would have been flooded with rain.
But even then, the raindrops that kept splashing down were already causing a lot of trouble.
"What's the fuss about? Do you want to make such a big deal? At least give me a chance to run home, okay?"
Rolling his eyes in his heart at the heavy rain, Chu Sheng tried to stretch his paw out of the hole.
After feeling the pain coming from his claws, Chu Sheng once again dispelled the idea of rushing out.
"Don't die, try to wait for the rain to light up...."
Glancing helplessly at the rain curtain, Chu Sheng turned around and returned to the cave.
However, it was not a solution to let the rain splash in, so Chu Sheng buckled some soil with his claws and transported it to the door with a jar to block it.
Although the rudimentary defense may not last long, it can be regarded as a temporary slowdown in the speed of water accumulation in the cave.
