Chapter 20: The Cat That Hunted

As the cats lay in ambush, silence fell back in the spacious, dark warehouse.

Xu Jie carefully squatted on the storage shelves of dried seafood, holding his ears motionless. Ink had told it not to move or make any noise as he left.

Time passed slowly in this quiet environment.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Jie suddenly heard a slight footstep in the southwest corner of the warehouse, which sounded like the sound of some small animal's paws stepping on the ground.

Xu Jie, who was originally drowsy, immediately became energetic when he heard the sound, and looked over there with wide eyes.

The light in the warehouse with the doors and windows closed was very dark, and with the cat's eyesight, he could only see a rough outline of the things in the vicinity, so Xu Jie couldn't see what the thing was in the corner.

Turning his head, Xu Jie went to look for the black cat, but found that Mo was squatting in the ambush without moving, as if the sound of those thin claws scratching in the corner did not exist.

Xu Jie tilted his head when he saw this, it didn't believe that the sound he could hear couldn't be heard, so why didn't it move?

After taking a closer look, Xu Jie found that the black cat was not motionless, it had already narrowed its dark golden cat eyes.

was already covered in black hair, but now he squinted his eyes again, if Xu Jie hadn't known the location of the ink in advance, he wouldn't have been able to find it at all.

At the same time, in the southwest corner, the sound of thin claws scratching began to become more frequent, as if something was deliberately making a sound, testing for danger.

After scratching for a while, and tentatively finding that there was no danger, more claws scratching the ground appeared.

Soon things began to run around the floor at a rapid pace in the warehouse, and they were agile and fast.

Xu Jie shook his head back and forth, trying to keep his eyes open, but he could only see black lines running on the ground.

At this moment, Mo, who was lying in ambush on the side, moved.

I saw it open its eyes suddenly, and pounced on the nearest mouse with all its limbs, biting its throat accurately and quickly.

The whole process of capture was fast and silent, and the captured mouse had already died before he could make any sound.

The dimly lit environment in the warehouse gave Mo the greatest protection, and none of the rats found that their companions were missing one, and they were still doing their own thing, desperately picking up the bags of dried seafood, trying to eat the delicious food inside.

Ink spits the biting rat aside, then hunched over and silently walked to the next target.

It was still a mouthful, and the rather fat mouse didn't even know when the black cat appeared behind him, and in an instant it was dead.

Picking up his second prey, Ink tossed it with the dead rat he had just had, and then reflexively went to find his next target.

Xu Jie, sitting on the commanding heights of the warehouse, felt like he was watching a wonderful American blockbuster, although the warehouse was quiet and almost silent, but the killing of the black cat did not seem boring at all.

It is like a top-notch killer, wandering in the darkness and harvesting the life of the evil (rat).

However, a few minutes later, a dozen rats became Mo's trophies, and at this time, those ignorant mice, after losing a large number of companions, finally noticed that something was wrong.

Seeing that the rats were starting to stir, Ink stopped hiding himself, and sped up, showing his claws and fangs at the mice.

Even pounced and bited, the two mice immediately became the dead souls under the claws of the black cat, and the miserable screams of the mice when they were dying made other mice no longer care about the others, and they fled one after another.

The figures scurrying around looked at Xu Jie's paws, but it still remembered Mo's orders, and obediently stayed on it without moving.

After a burst of chickens, dogs, dolphins, and wolves, the warehouse became quiet.

Mo licked his front paws, then looked up at Xu Jie and said, "Ajie, you can come down." ”

When Xu Jie heard this, he rubbed the shelves in the warehouse little by little, slid to the ground and trotted all the way to the black cat.

Vaguely, it noticed that there was a 'hill' next to the ink, the height of which reached directly to the black cat's shoulder, and on one of its front paws, it seemed to be pressing something.

Just as it was about to lean in to get a better look, there was the sound of a key unlocking from the side of the warehouse door.

The uncle's eyes with reading glasses were very sharp, and he immediately found the 'trophies' piled up next to Mo.

Secretly estimated the number of rats, and the smiling gatekeeper gave a thumbs up to Mo and said, "Look at the number of more than twenty at this height, well done big black cat, I will say that you must be the best." ”

As he spoke, the gatekeeper looked down and found that there was a mouse under Mo's paws.

The mouse was not big, and it looked like it was still alive, and the gatekeeper saw this and asked, "Why did you keep one?" ”

Mo Wenyan didn't make a sound, but he didn't let go of his claws, and the little mouse was still pressed to the ground by it.

Seeing this, the gatekeeper had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want." Just now, the boss of Matsusaka knew that you came to catch mice for him, and he was very happy, saying that as long as you do a good job, you can choose the dry goods in the warehouse, what do you want to eat this time? ”

Mo Wenyan tilted his head, as if he was thinking about what to eat, but Xu Jie couldn't help but be excited, and leaned over to rub it vigorously on the black cat's body.

Mo just hunted so handsomely, Xu Jie, who had a sense of admiration, felt that he was hot all over, and couldn't help but want to rub around on the black cat's body.

The ink face was expressionless and Xu Jie rubbed back and forth on it, but when it turned over, he lowered his head and quickly sniffed at the base of Xu Jie's tail.

Xu Jie, who was frightened, jumped to the side like a shrimp and looked at the black cat at a loss.

Although after a few days of getting along, it has become very familiar with the black cat, and Mo often sniffs around its body, but it has never had such a sensitive part as the root of the tail.

In the face of Xu Jie's panic, Mo was very calm, as if the one who had just stretched out his head to sniff the root of someone's tail was not the same as it.

The gatekeeper who was standing on the side naturally also saw Mo's actions just now, and his somewhat cloudy eyes scanned back and forth between the black cat and the raccoon several times, and then smiled suddenly with realization.

I saw him squint his eyes and say in a strange and ridiculous tone: "I see, then I know what you need." ”

As he spoke, the doorkeeper quickly walked to a row of shelves and took out a bag of things wrapped tightly in a transparent plastic bag.

The old man put the bag in front of Mo's eyes, and said to it in a tone that you know: "This is dried clams from Hokkaido, all of them are of the highest quality, I promise you will like them when you eat them." ”

Mo Wenyan looked down and sniffed the packet, then wagged his tail, looking very satisfied.

I saw it turn its head and signal the gatekeeper to hand the bag to Xu Jie, then picked up the little mouse that was still alive with its mouth, and pushed the dead rat to the doorkeeper with the other paw, indicating that the transaction was over.

Then it shouted in the gatekeeper's voice: "Come often." Under the call, he walked out of the warehouse with Xu Jie.
