50 The Legend of the White Cat!
It rained continuously for more than a month, and the water of the moat swelled and poured into the city, but fortunately, the residents had experience, and the foundation of the house was raised a few feet high, so they did not sleep in the muddy water.
Zhang Hengqing waded through the mud in the rain and hurried into the old lady's yard. The old lady was ill for a month, lying on the bed and breathing for the last breath, but the old man was unwilling to go like this, and a pair of cloudy eyes looked out of the window persistently.
Qiu Shi carefully answered the old lady's situation today, Zhang Heng straightened his clothes, and reluctantly stretched his sorrow into a calm face, he went in and lay down in front of the old lady's bed, carefully listening to the old lady's seeming wheezing, this old man who loves him the most, life is like a kite in a storm, and the line will break at any time.
"Grandmother," Zhang Hengqing choked up, and said softly but surely: "I have gotten the news, the third brother ran to the academy by himself, and the white girl followed." It's just raining, and the boat can't come over, and it'll come back when the weather clears. β
The old lady's cloudy eyes moved to him, and she mumbled hard, and then refused to speak, and stared out the door again.
Zhang Hengqing didn't speak again, he just hoped that his grandmother would believe it, as long as he believed it, maybe he would be able to last a little longer. The grandfather and grandson, one lying on the bed and the other kneeling beside the bed, were silent together.
The silence of the entire Zhang Mansion was not as lively as the sound of rain outside.
Suddenly, there were a few thunderbolts in the sky, and the rumbling was strange and scary, and then the sky covered by dark clouds actually broke clear!
Zhang Hengqing felt the change in the light in the room, looked up, and when he saw the sky breaking, his face immediately became ugly, and he felt that his grandmother grabbed his wrist, as if asking silently.
'It's clear!!'
Zhang Hengqing stiffened his neck and didn't dare to look back, only feeling that the force on his wrist was getting heavier and heavier, as if a dying man was grasping the last straw.
"Old lady!"
"Old lady!!"
Suddenly there were a few shouts outside the courtyard gate, and Zhang Hengqing saw a long-term runner who tripped in the mud too quickly, and then got up with a rolling belt, shouting as he ran.
"The Third Young Master is back!"
"White girl, also back!!"
Zhang Hengqing jumped up suddenly, so nervous that his voice changed tone: "What you said is true?!!"
Chang Sui stopped in front of the door panting, and replied, "Really! The third young master and the white girl have already entered the gate!"
Zhang Hengqing's eyes turned red for a moment, his eyes were surprised and happy, if it wasn't for his grandmother still holding his wrist, he would definitely run out immediately.
"Chunxi Lou's meatballs! Hurry! Get me the chef who can make meatballs!"
Zhang Hengqing turned around in surprise, and saw the old lady half sitting up, her eyes were very bright, as if the sickness accumulated for a month was melting like ice and snow at this moment, and the whole person was radiant.
Miss Bai and Zhang Henglin pounced on Mingshan Academy, and after Zhang Hengan learned that his younger brother was lost, he immediately asked for leave from the teacher and came back in a hurry. As soon as Miss Bai and Zhang Henglin arrived at the academy, they clarified their identities. Several teachers in the academy immediately pooled money and sent people to send Zhang Henglin and Bai Girl back.
As soon as a large and a small bone frame entered the house, Master Zhang rushed out head-on, he saw Zhang Henglin thin into a bone frame, his eyes were red, his voice was choked, and he changed his heart in distress and changed his eyes, "Ah!"
How did his fat and lovely, noble white brother become like this!!
"White girl!!" Master Zhang burst into tears.
Zhang Henglin had already thrown himself into his father's arms and hugged his waist tightly, he was sad to find that his father's waist had lost a lot of weight, and he was able to hold most of the circle. Fortunately, he didn't see his father's appearance before and after, otherwise he would have to fight with the white girl first.
The white girl was also very happy to see Master Zhang, raised her head and meowed roughly, and her blue eyes looked straight behind Master Zhang. When Master Zhang heard its voice, he cried even more fiercely.
Zhang Henglin heard his father's cry for the first time in his life, his heart was very sore, and he cried out: "Father! I'm back!"
The white girl was actually a little impatient to see their father's kindness and filial piety, if it weren't for the muddy step under the hall that could drown half of the cat, it would have gone to the backyard by itself.
"White Girl!!"
"Third brother!!"
There was a shout from the inner courtyard, Zhang Hengqing rushed over with the corner of his robe and walked through the mud, the white girl was excited when she saw him, and she didn't care about the mud, so she jumped down desperately, half of her body was directly submerged in the muddy water, and she could only swim forward with her head tilted and her four paws.
"White girl!!" Zhang Hengqing was anxious when he saw it, and he ran faster!
Finally, the White Maiden is reunited with her shoveler.
Zhang Hengqing hugged the white girl tightly, the muddy white girl changed tricks in his arms and meowed and scratched, a hairy head arched straight into his arms, Zhang Hengqing touched its thin skeleton, and his heart twitched in distress! He held it in the palm of his hand, and the pampered baby cat was so thin!
"Meow meow!"
"I'm back!!"
"Meow meow!
"I'll never leave you again!"
At this exciting and touching moment of encounter, there are people next to him who are not used to seeing it. Zhang Hengan solemnly thanked the division commander who accompanied the escort, and was about to invite people into the house, but found that the people who were happy to reunite over there had not yet eased up, and his father and third brother were all right, why did the second brother also hold a cat and cry with tears and snot?
"Father, fortunately my brother has returned, you can rest assured, hurry up and let my brother go back to the house to freshen up and rest. β
When Master Zhang heard this, he quickly wiped a handful of tears and held his son, who was thin as a bone frame, in his arms, afraid that the muddy water under his feet would drown his son. He looked at Zhang Hengqing again, Zhang Hengqing also had a large bulge on his chest, and a cat's head drilled out of the collar. He clasped his hands nervously to his chest, as if he were holding a lost treasure.
Master Zhang nodded secretly, this is like words.
The white girl and Zhang Henglin were sent to the old lady's courtyard together. As soon as the old lady saw this person and cat, she immediately eliminated all her diseases! She didn't let Zhang Henglin and the white girl go back to freshen up, so she put two hot bathtubs, one large and one small, in the hall, and many masters of Zhang's mansion stared at them with pity for them to take a bath.
The white girl was served for a long time, except for the shovel officer who kept crying, it was not dissatisfied, and the whole cat was spread out into a fur in the hot water basin. Zhang Hengqing cried and picked up hot water and sprinkled it on its thin back, and its many injuries were visible in his eyes. Half of the fangs are broken, the ears are bitten by some damn thing, and the tail is missing!!
Zhang Hengqing was distressed, he cried again!
The white girl looked back at him helplessly, and meowed hoarsely, with helpless comfort in her voice.
"Meow?"
'Aren't I coming back?' What are you crying about?'
Zhang Hengqing didn't speak, and carefully washed the white girl. After the white girl was washed, she was a good man again, shook her body and walked to the old lady's side, her head tilted directly into the old lady's arms, and her two claws hugged the old lady's neck, like a child talking, and meowed aggrievedly. The old lady couldn't understand what it was meowing, but that didn't stop her from feeling the emotion it was trying to express. She hugged and kissed like a heart, that intimacy, Zhang Heng'an, who was on the side, twitched the corners of her eyes, and especially wanted to shout, 'Grandmother, where is your own grandson over there!'
After taking a bath, the servants put on the dishes in sumptuous clothes. When the white girl and Zhang Henglin saw the food, they immediately served it on the table, occupied a corner and devoured it. may be used to taking care of Zhang Henglin, the white girl bit down on a large piece of fatty fish belly, tilted her head and threw it to Zhang Henglin. Zhang Henglin took it and stuffed it into his mouth, seeing that his brother's eyes almost didn't fall off.
How can a person eat something that a cat has eaten, it's so dirty!!
Zhang Hengan unconsciously said the words of blocking, Zhang Henglin glared at him very angrily, what happened to him after he ate what the white girl ate? He also smelled the white girl's stinky fart! In his heart, the status of the white girl was much higher than that of his brother!
In order to seek recognition, Zhang Hengan looked to the left, but saw that Master Zhang was kind and relieved (the relationship between his son and Brother Bai has finally improved!) He looked again and again, the old lady had already eaten at the same table with the white girl, and at this time he was very moved to see the white girl giving Zhang Henglin a fish belly to eat, just looking at this one detail, you can guess how her grandson survived outside, and it didn't rely on cats!
And Zhang Hengqing?! This guy looked envious, jealous, and hateful! The white girl never gave him a fish belly! Why did the third brother get this preferential treatment first over him, the head shovel official?!
Zhang Heng'an: I found out that my family members all have cat diseases!
A few days laterβ
The Zhang family asked him how he spent a month away from home a few days after Zhang Henglin came back, and when he heard that Zhang Henglin wanted to go to Mingshan Academy and was abducted by the coachman, and then the peasant mother and daughter were murdered for money, fortunately, there was a white girl like a god soldier from heaven, setting fire to the tiger and leaving the mountain, and then untied the rope to help him at the cost of breaking half of his fangs. When talking about this paragraph, Zhang Henglin's eyebrows flew and danced, but the Zhang family looked at the white girl who was yawning lazily on the side, and the half of the teeth in her mouth were quite obvious.
Their eyes only conveyed one meaning, 'You're a sperm!'
Later, the peasant women united with the mountain village to search the mountains, Zhang Henglin and the white girl had to avoid the deep mountains, and Zhang Henglin only talked about the hardships for three points, because he saw that the elders were in tears, so he couldn't bear to talk about it, so he skipped it all and didn't say anything.
Master Zhang naturally wouldn't let go of those bad guys, he took the people from the government to arrest the coachman and the peasant woman, because Zhang Henglin's things were still in their hands and he didn't make a move, so the evidence was conclusive. In addition, the government's arrest also found a lot of bones near the peasant woman's house, which shows that this wicked man has done a lot of things to kill people and seize money, so he was sentenced by the government to be beheaded.
Since then, the status of the white girl in the Zhang family has been mentioned to the highest at once, and the old lady has allocated a large courtyard to the white girl, and the main house is for the white girl to live in, in addition, she has also sent four careful and steady girls to serve it. In addition, Zhang Hengqing and Zhang Henglin were also sent over, don't think about it, these two were sent by the old lady to play with it!
Even the Li family came around the bush to please the white girl, and the Li family also showed his face in order to admit his mistakes, and directly found someone who was good at writing to write a white cat biography, and spent a lot of money to invite a troupe to play on the old lady's birthday.
In this white cat biography, the white cat is made very mysterious and magical, the old lady is a kind and wise mother-in-law, Master Zhang is a husband who is affectionate and reasonable, and even Zhang Hengqing is a good child who takes care of the overall situation and endures the harsh treatment of his aunt. There is only one bad person in the whole white cat legend, that is, Li herself, it is because of her various bad problems that her son will suffer, but after the white girl saved her son, she had an epiphany, and under the teachings of her mother-in-law, she decided to be a good person.
This rainbow fart made the old lady look more and more kind, but she didn't get a good deal with the white girl.
God knows, when the white girl saw a child jumping on the table wearing a white cat skin, making all kinds of movements that learned from cats and didn't quite learn like them, how insulted her heart was!
It's obviously noble and elegant! It can't be like the one on the stage!!
