A long, long time ago, in a small town called Shouzhang in the Central Plains, there was a family in the city, and this family had a pair of white cats in their home.

One day, the white cat gave birth, and in addition to two white kittens, it actually gave birth to a pure black kitten. The owner of the house was amazed that a white cat had given birth to a black cat, and hurriedly ordered the servants to invite a monk with a foreign surname from the city to come and see it, and the monk only glanced at it and said that it was not good.

How could two white cats give birth to a black cat cub without a little variegation, the female cat has always been kept in captivity at home, never out of the yard, even if it has been out, but not only Shouzhang City, even the surrounding hundreds of miles of cities have never had a trace of black cats.

This must be a vision from heaven, a great ominous, and it is necessary to get the evil out of the city quickly.

When the master of the house heard this, he trembled with fright, and begged the monk for help with a large sum of money, but the monk took the money and did his work seriously.

Holding a sword in one hand, grabbing the back of the female cat's neck with the other hand and lifting it, the black kitten that did not open her eyes was tied to the female cat by the umbilical cord, the female cat was not because of pain or because of sorrow, and constantly made a pleading meow, the monk was unmoved, under the eyes of everyone, the monk carried the white cat in front of the four gates of Shouzhang, each chopped off one of the female cat's paws, buried deep at the foot of the city gate, and then used the tip of the sword to stain the blood on the side of each city gate to draw a charm, each gate has a different charm.

When he had done this, it was already sunset, and the monk took the she-cat Edgeworth to the barren hills, and threw the she-cat and the kitten on a small hill, and the she-cat struggled to protect the kitten, but was kicked away by the monk. The monk put dansha on the kitten's four paws, then put the kitten's four paws together, I don't know what spell he chanted, he burned a piece of rune paper in front of the four paws, and then wrapped a red silk thread around the kitten's neck, and tied it to the boulder, the silk thread was extremely thin, and it was tied with a dead button, as long as the kitten grew up a little, it would be strangled alive by the silk thread.

The she-cat could only lie on her stomach and watch the monk do these things, and her whole body was convulsed from the severe pain.

After the monk left, the kitten slowly made a subtle meow, writhing around in search of its mother's scent and tried to crawl towards the female cat, but could only swing its body slightly. The rope is firmly tied around the kitten's neck, and it sways with the kitten's twisting, but fortunately, the newborn kitten can not crawl, and if it moves so badly, it is afraid that the head will be cut off by the tightly held silk rope.

The female cat tried her best to twist the stump and crawl over, the kitten stuck to the female cat's arms and drank **, the female cat shed tears like a spirit for the kitten to bite the umbilical cord, licked the filth off the body, it also tried to break the silk rope, but the silk thread was tied too tightly, there was nothing to do.

After dark, the barren mountains were full of the low roars of fierce beasts, big and small, sometimes far and sometimes near, and strangely not a single fierce beast approached this small hill, which was not very high.

The kitten drank the milk, curled up under the mother's belly and fell asleep quietly, at this time the kitten was the most sleepy, and drank milk after waking up, and then slept when it was full, and then drank when it woke up... Gradually, the kitten could drink less and less milk, and then it simply stopped.

Without milk to satisfy her hunger, the kitten meowed hungrily and began to open her eyes with great effort, but it was only enough to open a gap.

Before he could look around, the kitten was attracted by an earth-shattering loud noise, squinting his eyes left and right to look around for the source of the sound, and then he was pulled upside down by the tail. The kitten was held by a naked man with an uncovered appearance, with long hair in a shawl falling behind his back, a pair of peach blossom eyes staring at the kitten in his hand wide, and the tail of his eyes made his curiosity seem to have another meaning.

After the man found that he had caught it backwards, he hummed a few times, and then turned the kitten around and put it in the palm of his hand to watch, the kitten was unable to support his head, so he could only lie softly in the palm of the man's palm, and only saw a pair of eyes of the man clearly, the kitten called quietly, stretched out his little pink tongue and licked the man's palm, as if pleasing and whispered.

The man's palm tightened, he shook the small body, suddenly smiled, determined to take the kitten away, noticed the red silk thread tied to the kitten's neck, only pouted, a little index finger, and the fingertips burned the silk thread as if there was a flame.

But after the silk thread touched the fire, it immediately turned into a black smoke, and suddenly rolled up the kitten lying in the man's hand, the kitten hissed and screamed, and the four paws danced wildly, and the meat pad under the paws was coated with dansha, and the meat pad was scalded like red molten iron at this time.

“raaww!、raaww!!!”

The man bared his teeth and roared, and he didn't stop casting the spell in his hand, and the light mask layer by layer was attached to the kitten's claws, and it took a while to collide with the spell and untie the shackles of dansha.

The monk's spell was solved, but the little black cat's four paws were scorched, and it collapsed and never moved again.

“raaww~？”

The man sat down cross-legged on the spot, rested the kitten on his lap, clumsily broke the kitten's mouth, cut his index finger and pasted it, letting the blood beads flow into the kitten's mouth drop by drop.

After a while, the kitten moved slightly, twisted its body, unconsciously hugged the man's index finger with two small paws, sucked it himself, and after drinking enough, he stretched out his tongue and licked the man's palm and fell asleep.

The man took the kitten in his hand and left the hill and went to a small village nearby.

Before entering the village, he saw from a distance that the fields were full of men ploughing, all dressed in dark coarse linen clothes, and the men looked at him, as if he were different from the others, so he slipped into a remote courtyard, took his clothes from the courtyard and put them on himself.

While glancing at the men's dresses in the field, they dressed decently, and after checking them again, they put the kitten in their arms and swaggered into the village.

In the village, the farmer was simple, and he was treated very well, because the man could not speak, and everyone called him mute.

During the day, the mute went down to the fields with the men to do some farm work, and the landlord would pay the mute a few pieces of silver in addition to taking care of the food. After returning to the village in the afternoon, the mute sat in the streets with the women, listening to them talk about household chores, and learning to do some sewing and embroidery until it was dark.

When it was time for dinner, everyone knew that he was not a man who was very good at cooking, and the neighbors around him would ask their children to bring some food to the dumb house, and so on every day.

And this dumb man who no matter what others say during the day, after closing the door at night, he turned into a chatterbox, grabbed the little black cat that had opened his eyes in his hand, fished it from the left to the right and back to the left, and muttered in his mouth, without stopping.

At first, he would only repeat what he heard from others during the day, but then he listened more and could talk more, and began to speak his own words.

"The second aunt said that the second uncle does not do business all day long, it must be wrong, the second uncle has to go over a few mountains to pick seedlings after doing farm work every day to pick the tea leaves on the top of the seedling mountain and come back to drink, I have drunk the tea, it is very delicious, it is not a loss to spend so much effort to pick, and the second uncle will pick a few camellias every time he goes to give them to the second aunt, the flowers are also very good-looking, and the second uncle also gave me two, he actually said that he only sent flowers to his wife, and said that I would pick them myself if I wanted to, hum, when I was free, I would pick the tea clean, even if the second uncle had principles, if I wanted to drink a sip, I could only hold the flowers to ask meI'll go tomorrow!"

"Today I heard the daughter of the blacksmith shop secretly muttering that I was born so handsome, but unfortunately it is a mute who can't speak, otherwise she would have asked his father to come and kiss me, I bah, just the appearance of the blacksmith's daughter, I am not even qualified to enter my clan to be a fire girl, and I want to kiss me, don't say that I am not a dumb, even if I am a dumb person, it is impossible, I am not blind!"

"I was bitten by an insect when I was working today, this thing that doesn't know how to do it even bites me, I'll go to the nest for it later, and teach it to be a worm!"

...

The mute spread mana around the room to make a closed barrier, and no matter how noisy he was in the house, he would not disturb others. The next morning, after feeding the kitten, it was still able to go out refreshed, leaving the well-fed little black cat curled up in the corner of the bed, and it had to hurry up to sleep to cope with one sleepless night after another.

This kind of life officially ended with a gray-haired teacher teaching a mute to write, and the mute seemed to have become a real mute when he began to learn to write, working during the day without saying a word, and at night when he returned to the house and said nothing to the desk.

Later in the middle of the night, the mute woke up the kitten curled up on the table, pointed to a huge character lying on the beige rice paper and said to the kitten,

"I've thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a good name for you, that's the word, how about it? It fits you very well, you see you, every day when I wake up at dawn to beg for food, every day I have to suck a lot of blood, this kind of behavior is actually very bad, but, fortunately, I am beautiful and kind to repay grievances, not only do I not care about you but also give you such an atmospheric and beautiful name, don't cry to thank me, Huhu Mao, ahhahahahaha~"

The kitten stepped on the dumb arm and climbed up to the shoulder, yawned and sat down, looked at the crooked big characters on the paper, the side capital was almost squeezed together, the writing was really ugly, the kitten opened its mouth and meowed, in fact, what it wanted to express should be the meaning of this word is too ugly, but the dumb man heard that he happily accepted the name.

"Since you like it too, then this is your name, do you know~" The dumb eyebrows smiled, he was beautiful, every smile was beautiful,

"This word is pronounced as Xi, which means the sunshine in the morning, how good it is to be your name!"
