8. Screaming in the night
With the help of lightning, Emperor Wu saw a kitten curled up in the grass in the corner of the wall, looking very weak.
Originally, the kitten's meow was meow, but because of illness, it became miaoo, miaoo, miaoo......
Emperor Wu is angry and loves this little guy, angry is pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night to scare himself, what he loves is that he likes animals since he was a child, and there was originally a big yellow dog with the same age as Emperor Wu in his hometown, but people and dogs are different, and he lived until Emperor Wu went to junior high school and left.
"Don't be afraid, little pity, who is so cruel to abandon you here. Emperor Wu muttered to himself at the kitten, four years of learning non-human languages came in handy, but the kitten obviously couldn't understand human speech.
Emperor Wu held the kitten in his arms, the kitten seemed to be seven or eight months old, its body was very hot, its two front paws were injured, its right hind leg had been curled up, and it was not very easy to walk.
Emperor Wu wanted to use the "Recognition Technique" to check its information, but it didn't work at all, no matter how hard Emperor Wu stared at it, he couldn't read any information in his consciousness. The kitten may also be strange, why does this strange Shu millet stare at him with such eyes, and subconsciously use his two front paws to hold each other's chest.
, you're a male meow, what does it mean to protect your breasts? Could it be that the cat world is also popular in the cat world, where the same sex attracts and the opposite sex repels each other? Or does this guy have a problem with his gender identity?
With these questions, Emperor Wu ran to the wooden house with the kitten in his arms, and it shivered from the cold. Emperor Wu lifted his shirt, hugged it to his chest, and mobilized his aura to gather here, so that the poor and frozen body could be warmer.
After not running a few steps, Emperor Wu felt that something was wrong!
This cat is definitely a perverted cat!
When he got home, Emperor Wu wrapped the little guy tightly in a quilt, he didn't know anything about animal medicine, and saw that it had a flat belly, and there was just some milk in the refrigerator, so he gave it a cup of hot milk first.
The kitten was sick, and the little head couldn't lift up, but when he saw the steaming milk, he was refreshed, and he didn't care whether the injured front paws hurt or not, and he had to grab the milk basin when he fluttered. This guy drank everywhere, and he almost jumped into the small basin to take a shower.
It broke free from the quilt, and by the light of the candle, Emperor Wu saw it clearly.
The little guy has a light brown body with black patterns, a light white belly, and has thick limbs compared to the body, but it doesn't look bulky, and the tail is just a little like a round ball.
The biggest feature of its appearance is that there is a long strand of fluff under its cheeks, and the tips of its two erect ears are covered with towering long fluff, which is also mixed with a few white hairs, much like the feathers on the helmets of military generals in the play, adding a bit of majesty to it, and it is very comfortable to touch.
The kitten crawling around on the bed looks majestic, and even has a bit of the demeanor of a jaguar, looking at its every move, it must be an expert at catching mice, and the granary of the pasture is a safe nest for big mice.
Like rabbits, Australian rats are also pets brought by European gentlemen hundreds of years ago, due to the lack of natural predators and family planning boards, rats breed wildly, enjoy the joy of male and female, resulting in a round of rat plague every few years now, these things are more difficult to deal with than rabbits, after all, rabbit meat can be eaten, and rat meat can only be thrown into the trash or burned.
When I was a child, Emperor Wu's family had chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, but I never raised a cat, this small animal is very humane, it will not be too difficult to raise, just solve its food and clothing problem every day, and even don't care about food and clothing, it will automatically go out to sweep food.
Not long after, the little one was tired from fluttering, his body warmed up, and he crawled into the nest made of the quilt and fell asleep. After tossing all night, Emperor Wu was even more tired, and simply washed and slept next to the kitten, hoping that the rain would stop tomorrow, otherwise he would have to spend the night in the dark.
"Meow Meow~"
A few low cries woke Emperor Wu up.
Emperor Wu rubbed his eyes, groped for the kitten in the dark, its body was not hot, but it was indeed shaking, Emperor Wu found a blanket to cover it, fed it water and did not drink, the eyes were very unenergetic, even if a big fish was put in front of it, it would not blink, it seemed that it had to go to the veterinarian.
Travel is a problem, there is no shop in front of the ranch and no shop behind the village, and there is no car at all.
Five years ago, the Hans couple had an old pickup truck, so old that it couldn't be used anymore, so broken that it couldn't be broken again.
Serving on the ranch is conceivable, and the treatment of pickups will not be too good. Foreigners, especially in the countryside, do not pay much attention to the protection of the car, drop a piece of paint and break the skin or something when you don't see it, and even hit the wall can be returned to continue driving, unlike the domestic car is very precious, I can't wait to wash the car for five kilometers, and maintain it for ten kilometers.
I touched the garage with a candle, and it was amazing. When old Hans was alive, he had few hobbies, eating, sleeping, smoking, and hunting, and he used it as a private arsenal, in addition to all kinds of maintenance tools, and always had four shotguns tied to the wall opposite the roller shutter.
Emperor Wu opened the garage door, the crimson old Horton was still there, Horton's lion head logo still had a claw left, and the head was gone, at least thirty years of service, and it should have been sold for scrap iron in China a long time ago.
Four oily shotguns are also there, it seems that the government forgot to take them back, Emperor Wu does not have a gun license, and it is difficult to do it with his current identity, but you can play secretly, who is idle and has nothing to do in the woods every day to check whether you have a gun without a license.
Twisting the key, the sound of the engine is still very crisp, and if you don't look at it, you will think it is a new car, but this does not mean that there is no problem with the car, and when you start the car, it is accompanied by a slightly noisy song "Zorro is Back".
The song was the theme song for the 1975 Alain Delon version of The Legend of Zorro, and the tune was free-spirited, and when this light-hearted song sounded, it was as Zorro rode freely on horseback in the barren tropical loess and it reverberated over the lakeside pastures.
Hearing this short song again, Emperor Wu felt inexplicably cordial.
Five years ago, Emperor Wu sat in this Horton for the first time, and when the old Hans started the car, Emperor Wu couldn't help frowning, and he was not very interested in this song full of age as he was used to listening to pop music.
Old Hans shrugged, "I got this CD stuck in one of my garage auctions. ”
"At first I wanted to throw it in cow dung, just like you, but gradually you will get hooked on it and never get tired of hearing it. ”
Leaning on the backrest, old Hans hummed the music that was popular all over the world in the last century, and seemed to think of himself as Zorro, a masked knight who rode a horse.
The old Hans, wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, did not speed up quickly, but stepped on the accelerator slowly, allowing the car to start smoothly, like a 90-year-old lady walking.
"Hey, man, all the warning lights are on, and we're out of gas. ”
Emperor Wu leaned back in his seat, and his gaze swept over the dashboard.
Old Hans didn't care, and laughed, "The gas gauge is broken, don't worry buddy." ”
"So how do we know when we're out of gas. Emperor Wu asked faintly.
"Don't worry, the car will stop on its own, and let Frank drive his big truck to the town to buy gas. Old Hans replied with a serious face. Frank is the owner of the nearby Flower Straw Hat Ranch and is one of the few friends of Hans who wears a Flower Straw Hat for any occasion.
"You're so carefree. ”
This is the way Hans lived, a stubborn old man who had lived on a farm in the Australian countryside all his life.
Unrestrained, do whatever you want, in this land of Australia, you can enjoy it to the fullest, you don't have to worry about high housing prices, you don't have to worry about food additives exceeding the standard, breathe fresh air, and run wild on the empty road when you have nothing to do.
Thinking back to reality, this old Horton is still the same as before, depending on the amount of fuel by guessing, starting with its own music, and there is only one song, automatic cycle.
Either way, it's still a car that can run and save the kitten's life.
