Chapter 68: The Black Cat Digging the Pit
After a night's rest, the next day, the Fujimoto family's seaside vacation life officially began.
With their family carrying their things, leading the dog and the cat, the Fujimoto family walked into the nearby beach.
Mrs. Fujimoto, who had not been to the beach for a long time, wore her newly purchased swimsuit and rushed into the sea with her son and daughter.
Mr. Fujimoto, who is not interested in going to the sea and just wants to use this time to relax, rented a large parasol, put on sunglasses and sunscreen, and lay on the beach reading the newspaper.
Kuroha, who is also not interested in going into the sea, falls beside him, and while cleaning his feathers with sand, he listens to the radio that Junko brought him.
Jiantai and Golden Retriever Ah Zhong were only in the shallow water, they were going crazy, and Xiao Jiantai, who had a lifebuoy on his waist, held a water spray gun in his hand, and shot at Ah Zhong who had been rushing to him.
The golden retriever who was attacked was not angry at all, but pounced on Kenta's water gun and washed the little fat man's face several times with saliva.
Compared with his younger brother, Junko's side is much quieter.
After touching herself and her mother with sunscreen, Junko did not go into the sea to swim, but just lay on the inflatable bed she brought with her and floated towards a less crowded place.
Then find a calm place and float on the sea at a leisurely pace.
Xu Jie and Mo were lying next to her, and for creatures like them who were not willing to go to the sea and wanted to get close to the water, floating on the water was a very good choice.
The family was scattered on the beach not far away.
In order to ensure safety, Mr. Fujimoto always puts down the newspaper in his hand from time to time, stands up and pulls down his sunglasses to look at his wife, children and animals playing in the sea.
Until he was sure that they were all safe, Mr. Fujimoto would lie down and continue reading his newspaper.
Because it is just in time for the summer vacation, there are not many parents who come over for vacation with their children.
These little radish heads, who didn't know each other before, quickly got together and played happily together.
After floating on the airbed on the water for a while, Xu Jie, who felt bored, wanted to go back to the beach.
This feeling of being surrounded by water and having only an air bed is not very good for cats, and it is just a matter of having a fresh time. After staying for too long, Xu Jie began to get used to it.
Seeing this, Junko stretched out her hand and waved it to her mother's side, and Mrs. Fujimoto saw her daughter's gesture, so she slowly swam over from there and pushed her daughter's air bed from the water to the shore.
When it was close to the shore, the air bed could no longer float, and Mrs. Fujimoto couldn't push it in the water, so Junko said to the two cats, "You can't go up to the air bed over there, you two just want to go ashore, just swim over by yourself." β
After saying that, Junko, who suddenly wanted to play a prank, rolled over and rolled off the air bed, and then lifted it the side of the air bed, and the two who were originally squatting on it slipped into the water.
This side is already very close to the shore, and the water is not deep, only to Xu Jie's chest.
But even after falling into the water like this, Xu Jie still drank a few mouthfuls of seawater, and he was so angry that he turned his back to his ears and meowed at Junzi.
"If you want to capsize, you should tell sΓΉ, and suddenly you drank water." This is Xu Jie, who is huffing and puffing.
The ink that fell together looked indifferent, it didn't like water, but it didn't hate it.
And it can swim, and the water is quite good, but it seems to be easier to swim in this salty water than in the river.
Seeing that Junko, who had succeeded in the prank, had already pulled the air bed and walked farther and farther, Xu Jie was not calling, and walked towards the shore with angry steps.
Just as they were about to go ashore, Xu Jie suddenly found that he seemed to have stepped on something under his claws.
The thing was slippery and soft and moving, and when Xu Jie stepped on it, he felt a swish, and something slipped out under its claws.
Curious, Xu Jie looked in the direction that the thing had slid out, and it wanted to see what it was.
After chasing for a while, Xu Jie saw that it was a small octopus that slipped out from under its claws, and at this time it was sliding desperately in the water with eight soft feet with the thickness of wool.
It is the instinct of the feline family to chase anything that moves, and even Xu Jie, a half-born person, has this kind of gene.
So before the brain could give the order, Xu Jie's body rushed over first.
The small octopus with a head the size of a ping-pong ball swam around under Xu Jie's pounce, and several times it could immediately enter the deep water to take refuge, but it was pulled back by the claws of a black cat.
Guarding in the sea and watching Xu Jie play with the octopus, Mo moved his beard, shook off the water droplets that splashed on it, and then continued to guard.
Want to run, what a joke. Before its little tanuki flower has had fun, the eight-legged 'table tennis' doesn't want to go anywhere.
The sad 'table tennis' comrade just stepped into the footsteps of Crab Jun, but it was luckier than its predecessor Crab Jun, Xu Jie just wanted to play with it, not eat it.
Of course, this is not because Xu Jie is soft-hearted, but after leaving the house, Dr. Fujimoto once held a tablet, pointed to the picture of an octopus and a squid on it, and taught his son that after he arrived at the beach, these two things should never be eaten by cats.
I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, it was always Dr. Fujimoto who was saying these words, and Xu Jie and Mo happened to be next to him.
Watching them stick their heads out to their side, Dr. Fujimoto also turned the tablet in his hand so that Xu Jie and Mo could also see the picture above.
Thanks to the doctor's foresight, both cats now knew that anything that was soft in the sea, with suction cups on its paws, or that sprayed black mist, was not to be eaten.
So the identity of Mr. 'Table Tennis' has changed from a snack or a snack to a toy.
I just don't know if it will be happy when it changes its identity like this.
ran and chased in the water and played with Mr. 'Ping Pong' for a while, until Xu Jie felt tired and said he didn't want to play, Mo gave way and let go of the 'ping pong ball'.
The reborn baby octopus swims away with tear-blistered eyes, and it will never come to the shore again, and the guys with claws and fangs are terrible.
The first thing the two cats do after climbing ashore is to take care of their fur.
Xu Jie wrinkled his face while licking his fur.
Phew, it's all salty, not the right taste.
After adding it to itself, it ran over to lick the ink again.
Well, it's salty here, too, but why does it feel like it tastes better when you lick it than on your body?
Could it be that this kind of thing is also a cat in the sea?
Under the fiery sun, the sea water on the cats dried up in a short time.
Shaking the hair to shake off the salt grains on his body, Xu Jie looked for it in the crowd, and then ran towards the place where the children were playing.
The boys no longer play water fights, they play with the sand, and they dig holes of different shapes and sizes on the soft sand, and it is said that these children are competing to see who can bury themselves first.
The competition was now at its most intense, and Kenta and a tanned-skinned boy were almost neck-and-neck, both of them now in a state where they had dug their pits and lay down to bury sand in themselves.
Seeing this, Xu Jie quietly ran to the little fat man's side and secretly used his paws to help him fill the sand.
However, there are also referees on the children's side, so Xu Jie's small action was finally seen and reported to the 'referee'.
The little referee was the oldest in the group, and he felt a little headache as he looked at the crowd of younger siblings who were waiting around him to hear about the Fa.
The accusation's argument is very reasonable, since it is a competition, you have to rely on yourself, and you can't let others help.
But the other side's defense is also reasonable, after all, it is not a human but a cat who comes to help, and the regulations only say that people can't help, and it doesn't say that animals can't.
In the end, Mr. 'Referee', who weighed the pros and cons, decided to go with the mud, so Kenta and the swarthy became tied for first place.
Xu Jie, who watched the whole process, turned around to look for ink, but found that the one was digging the pit with his claws very carefully.
Seeing this, Xu Jie ran over and asked curiously, "Mo, what are you digging a pit for?" β
Mo Wenyan didn't reply, just circled around Xu Jie, and then measured Xu Jie's height with his tail.
Xu Jie immediately blew up when he saw this, if he was stupid, he knew that he wanted to dig a pit and bury himself when he looked at Mo.
Angry, Xu Jie ran over and kicked back and forth with his two hind legs, filling up the sand pit that Mo had just dug out, and then bared his teeth at Mo to dispel the idea as much as possible.
Dare to dig a pit and bury yourself, did this guy Mo get water in his head when he went to the sea just now?
Mo, who was stopped by Xu Jie, looked at the sand pit that had been filled, and looked at the little raccoon flower walking in front, and the plush cat's face was full of regretful expressions.
Xu Jie, who was walking well in front, suddenly felt a chill in his back for some reason.
It looked up at the fiery sun that was radiating enthusiasm hanging above the sky, and wondered why it felt this way.
