Gengoro Takeda held the cat cage and leaned against the wall of a small alley, panting.

While panting, he listened attentively, and was relieved to see that no one was really catching up.

Squatting on the ground, Gengoro Takeda opened the zipper of the pet cage, took out the tanuki cat inside, held it in his arms, and said: "Bajie, we don't even have a dollar on us now, you have to follow me and start a hard life." ”

Hearing this, the tanuki cat Bajie purred a few times in the boy's arms, as if echoing the boy's words.

In fact, Bajie doesn't care whether life is good or bad, it was a stray cat when it was not adopted by the shovel officer, and it has suffered all kinds of hardships, and for it, life will never be worse than then.

I just don't know if I, a squeamish and bad-tempered shovel officer, can adapt to that kind of life.

In February, although the temperature is heating up during the day, the temperature at night is still hovering around freezing.

In the lonely alley, there was hardly any leeward place, and the cold northwest wind blew on the boy and the cat without reservation.

Gengoro Takeda was shivering from the cold wind, and he shook his body and moved his steps to change to a place where the wind was lighter.

Seeing this, the tanuki Bajie automatically got into the boy's coat and spread his body as flat as possible, intending to use his body temperature to give his shovel officer some warmth.

But Gengoro Takeda thought that the cat did this because it was cold, so he tightened his clothes hard and tried to hold the cat tighter.

While wrapping the cat tightly, Gengoro also asked at it, "Can I be better like this?" Bajie, aren't you so cold? ”

Hearing this, the tanuki cat rolled her eyes in the boy's arms, and said in her heart, stupid, I am taking care of you, not you taking care of me.

Gengoro didn't have the ability to read minds, of course he didn't know what the cat in his arms thought, and what he was worried about now was whether the backpack he had just thrown out had hurt his father.

Gengoro, who was really worried, hugged the cat, and said as if asking and muttering: "I don't know if the backpack I just threw out hurt my father, I hope he's okay, I really didn't mean to smash him." ”

Hearing this, the tanuki cat Bajie poked his head out of the boy's arms and rubbed his head against his chin to show his comfort to him.

In fact, to be honest, the tanuki cat didn't like the shoveler's parents at all, and it felt that the parents didn't fully fulfill their responsibilities to take care of the cubs.

It has been almost five months since the tanuki cat was adopted by the boy, and these days it can be said that it and the boy get along day and night.

The boy was very good at it, except for the obsession with changing the color of its tail rings, everything else was how comfortable the cat was.

But in just these four or five times, the tanuki cat Bajie saw the parents of the shovel officer less than three times, and two of them did not love the cubs who were close to them after they came back, but were busy counting his various wrongs.

Bajie is particularly unaccustomed to this, their cats will be raised until they are adults when taking care of their cubs, and they will not leave until they have the ability to survive alone, and they will never be separated from the cubs for too long unless there is an accident.

And the couple was fine, and after coming back and scolding the cubs, they left some things called money and left, supposedly busy with business and making money.

Every time he looked at the backs of them leaving, Bajie wanted to heal them.

Cats know that cubs are wrong and need to be educated, but after you finish educating them, you will tell him the right way to deal with them.

When the cat was stupid, it couldn't catch mice, and the mother also scolded the cat and kept the door of the mouse hole again and again to demonstrate to the cat until the cat learned.

The parents of the shovel officer are good, they show up once a month except for the phone, and they either count down or give money when they meet, and then they leave in a dashing manner, leaving the scolded cub or nothing.

Bajie is sometimes really like asking the couple, you will be able to give birth to be nurtured, if the cub knows everything, what do you want you to do?

Whenever I think of this, Tanuki Bajie feels particularly sorry for his shovel officer.

It felt much luckier than Gengoro, at least its mother had kicked him out of the house after teaching him how to hunt and the rules of cat survival.

felt that he was much better off than the shovel officer, and Bajie felt that he should be more generous.

So it stuck out its tongue and licked the cheek of the shoveler, thinking that now the shovel officer didn't have the kind of thing called money that could be exchanged for food, so they would have to hunt for food in the future.

Thinking like this, Bajie swept Gengoro's head, feeling that with his height, he might have a hard time in the future.

However, thinking about the careful care of the shovel officer, seeing a doctor, bathing, and brushing himself in the past few months, the tanuki cat felt that although it was hard to raise him, he should still be able to bear it.

Just licking and licking like this, Bajie suddenly felt that how did his mouth become salty?

When he looked up, he found that Gengoro cried silently for some time.

Seeing this, Bajie was anxious, licking the tears of the shovel officer, and meowing anxiously, it wanted to know why the child was crying.

Why are you crying? Gengoro Takeda didn't know this himself, and there was no reason why he just wanted to cry.

Holding the cat that comforted him in his arms, Gengoro buried his face in its fur and said, "Bajie, I'm a little homesick." I miss my mom and dad, and I also want to be a nanny and aunt, Aunt Merlot has taken care of me for so long, I wonder if she will be in a hurry this time? ”

When Bajie heard this, he put his forehead on Gengoro's nose, and said in his heart that he was worried that you would still run out, and the cubs should honestly stay in the nest and learn their skills.

Gengoro Takeda rubbed his head on Bajie's body a few times and whispered: "I still miss the Great Sage and the big black cat, I can't see their advertisements without TV when I leave home." ”

The tanuki cat Bajie who listened to this was completely fried, screaming and slapping his claws on his master's face.

Gengoro was caught off guard by the cat's beating, he covered his head with his arm and asked, "Bajie, what's wrong with you?" Why do you lose your temper again? ”

Lose one's temper? The cat didn't scratch you into a warp and weft line, and your temper was already very good, and when you, the shovel officer, waited for me, you dared to think about other cats in your heart, and sure enough, I spoiled you too much.

Although it is losing its temper, Bajie is still very restrained, which can be seen from the fact that it slaps instead of scratching when it lowers its paws.

Just as the two of them were making a fuss, several dark shadows quietly surrounded them.

The first to notice that the situation was wrong was Bajie, who was very sensitive to the surrounding situation, only to see that it suddenly stopped its paws slapping on Gengoro's face, turned around and stared at the mouth of the alley with a pair of cat eyes.

Seeing this, Takeda Gengoro put down the arm blocking his head, followed Bajie's line of sight to the mouth of the alley, and found that there were already four or five people who looked like they were rolling, blocking the mouth of the alley with bad intentions.

Gengoro Takeda is not deeply involved in the world and is in the second year of middle school, but that doesn't mean that he is stupid, seeing that these guys with unkind faces blocked the mouth of the alley, he immediately ran in with Bajie.

There was a small man among the people blocking the door, and when he saw Gengoro running away, he asked the boss with a sidesome face next to him, "Boss, let's just watch that kid run away?" He had a lot of money on him. ”

The guy who was called the boss said confidently: "Don't worry, this road is a dead end, and that kid can't run away." But you kid can see clearly, that guy really has a lot of money on him? ”

The short man nodded again and again and reassured: "Boss, you can rest assured, that kid took the cat to eat at the fast food restaurant this afternoon, and when I checked out, I saw with my own eyes that there were stacks of 10,000 yuan bills in his arms, and I couldn't go wrong." ”

The boss with a meaty face was very satisfied when he heard this, so he took the younger brothers and chased them into the alley.

It didn't take long for them to meet Takeda Gengoro again, just like that, there were people on one side and a wall on the other, and Gengoro and Bajie were blocked here and couldn't retreat.

In order to ask for credit from his boss, the short man shouted to Gengoro Takeda, who was holding the cat: "Boy, hurry up and hand over all the money on you, we don't have time to talk to you." ”

Hearing this, Gengoro breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't have any money on me. ”

As soon as he heard this, the short man stopped doing it, and immediately scolded: I XX you XX, you kid I am a fool? During the day, I can see that your backpack is full of money. “

Hearing this, Takeda Gengoro stretched his neck and said stiffly: "I don't have a backpack, I don't believe you can find it yourself." “

The short man looked around when he heard this, and he really didn't see the backpack he was carrying during the day on Gengoro's body.

This discovery made the short man a little anxious, and when he reported it to the boss, he patted his chest and said that the boy was a fat sheep.

In case he really doesn't have any money on him, he will be the first person to clean up after the boss goes back.

As soon as he thought of this, the short man couldn't help it, and he ran over to rummage through Gengoro's pockets to see if he had hidden the money on him.

Takeda Gengoro, who was fourteen or fifteen years old and was suffering from a severe second illness, of course refused to obediently let others search his body, and when the short man reached out to rummage through his pocket, Gengoro pushed the short man away.

Unexpectedly, a child dared to resist, and the little man was directly pushed to the ground.

The other thugs around him burst into laughter when they saw this, and the short man felt that he had lost face, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry.

He jumped up and punched Gengoro in the face, Gengoro was not to be outdone and raised his foot to fight back, and the other gangsters also joined in.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention that Gengoro is only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, and soon he is knocked to the ground and kicked in a circle by three or four thugs.

In the midst of the chaos, the short thug suddenly screamed and stumbled out, and everyone looked at his face only to find that it was full of cat paw prints.

It turned out that Bajie saw that someone was attacking its master, and it was afraid that Gengoro would suffer, so he launched a counterattack, and as a result, he scratched the face of the short man.

But Bajie itself didn't fall well, and now it is really grabbed by the short man slowly carrying the skin.

Originally, with the agility of Bajie used to be a wild cat, it could run away, but it was reluctant to give up Gengoro's child, so it was caught.

The short thug carried Bajie and said with a hideous face: "Damn cat, you dare to scratch me, believe it or not, I will boil a pot of hot water for you to remove hair and skin?" “

Gengoro, who was beaten with a blue and purple face, screamed when he heard this, "Don't hurt my cat." “

The short man said triumphantly when he heard this: "Your kid is not hard in his mouth, and he still dares to do something with me, and he must have money on him." “

Hearing this, a gangster bent down and rummaged carefully on Gengoro's body, rummaging inside and out, before he got up and said, "Nothing, this kid is poorer than me." “

The short man screamed that it was impossible when he heard this, and he came over and turned it over on Gengoro's body.

After turning it over several times, he had to admit that what his accomplice said was right, this kid didn't have a copper plate on him.

The news he brought was inaccurate, and the short thug felt as if his companions around him were laughing at him, so he angrily raised the cat in his hand and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Gengoro Takeda didn't care about all the injuries on his body, so he threw himself on the ground and let Bajie fall on his body.

People are smashed in pain, cats are choked enough, and the screams of one person and one cat are particularly harsh in this small alley.

The short thug who threw the cat out was still angry, and today it was because of that kid that his face could not be lost again.

Originally, his status in this small group was not high, and this time he was estimated to be the last one.

Thinking of this, the short thug felt that he must not just let this kid go, he didn't like the cat, and he just killed the cat in front of him.

Thinking of this, the short thug took out the dagger he had always carried with him, and walked towards Bajie and Gengoro with a cruel smile.

Gengoro looked at the short man with the wrong eyes, he couldn't care about the injuries on his body, and endured the pain to get up and hide back with Bajie.

But the alley here was a dead end, and he hid and leaned against the wall.

Seeing this, the short thug laughed wildly and said, "Boy, you are running, today I will kill this cat in front of you, and stuff all the meat on its body into your mouth after skinning." If you dare to beat me, I'll let you remember it for a long time today. “

Seeing this, Gengoro stretched out his arm and sent the cat in his arms to the wall, and said to Bajie in horror and anxiety: "You run, you run, run, run, aren't you a cat, jump on the wall." “

But Bajie didn't jump on the wall and escape alone, because he knew that the person holding the knife was obviously wrong now, and if he ran away, the shovel officer would be in danger.

So the cat Bajie not only did not run, but arched his body and made an offensive move.

The short gangsters got closer and closer, and Gengoro even began to throw Bajie against the wall, but Bajie just refused to turn over, and jumped off every time.

Seeing this, the short man licked his knife with his tongue and said, "Don't worry, both of you have a share, and I will take care of them one by one." “

He had barely finished saying this when a cat meow came from the other side of the wall.

When the gangsters heard this, they looked up and saw another tanuki squatting on the wall, looking at them cutely with its fluffy little head.

The short thug's gaze glanced back and forth between Bajie and the newly appeared tanuki cat for a few times, and then suddenly said, "Oh, it looks like it." This cat was also raised by your little bastard, just this time they cooked together, and after peeling the skin, they hung on the tree to feed the crows, what do you think of this way of dying? “

The short man said as he walked over to the new tanuki.

The new tanuki cat was neither alarmed nor panicked in the face of the ill-intentioned gangsters, and no matter how much Gengoro shouted at it, it would not run.

The smirking thug had not taken a few steps forward, and suddenly stopped and did not dare to move forward, because behind the tanuki cat on the wall, a black cat like a leopard, with its pupils and eyes blazing, showed him its sharp tiger teeth.
