Xu Jie had been quietly following behind Kenta, and the kid looked nervous now, stopping from time to time to look around, making Xu Jie very unsteady after him.

Kenta's family lives in an old neighborhood, a complex of buildings that are at least 20 years old.

At this time, most of the residents in the community are working outside the home, and most of the people who remain are elderly people and children.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, there were few pedestrians on the streets of the old neighborhood. Kenta Fujimoto walked along the sidewalk in the direction of his home, and just across the street was the apartment building where the family lived.

With only a few steps to go, Kenta was able to get home. But just around the corner of the street, Kenta was stopped by an unscrupulous boy with a cigarette and pimples on his face.

The unscrupulous boy had obviously been waiting for a long time, and after stopping Kenta, he spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said, "Boy, did you bring the money you took?" ”

Hearing this, Kenta clutched his schoolbag tightly to his chest and said to the unscrupulous young man, "I have already told you before, I don't have any money. ”

Hearing this, the young man squeezed Kenta's head hard and said, "Are you a fool for me?" The business of your pet hospital and beauty salon is so good, and the people who wait in line every day have to be squeezed out of the gate, how can such a good business have no money. ”

Kenta pulled his head out from under the young man's hands, took a few steps back, glared at him, and said, "The money belongs to my parents, and I don't have any money." ”

This is the truth, although the Fujimoto family is not a wealthy family in the county, but because of the good technology and fair price, their pet hospital and beauty salon are very famous in the county, and the monthly income is naturally expensive.

But the Fujimoto family attaches great importance to the education of a pair of children, and will never spoil them, and they are very strict in controlling pocket money.

Kenta, who is in the first grade of elementary school, only has 20 yen a day, and his sister Junko, who is in junior high school, only 100 yen a day.

Although food and clothing will be arranged in the home, this money is really pocket money, but even this is not much.

Not to mention that Kenta doesn't have money in his hands, even if he has his character, he won't obediently hand it over to the person who blackmails/extorts him.

The unscrupulous young man would not listen to the victim's explanation, he clenched his fists and said fiercely: "You don't have it from your parents, you can steal or borrow from others, in short, you must give me the money." ”

After saying that, he found that Kenta was actually glaring at him, so he clenched his fist and waved at him and continued: "You still dare to stare at me, are you not convinced?" It just so happens that Lao Tzu hasn't beaten people for a long time. In the past, the bastards on that street have scared me, since I moved here, Lao Tzu has encountered some shrunken turtles, this time you bumped into yourself, just for you to loosen the flesh skin, but also to give you a long memory, see if you dare to perfunctory me. ”

Saying no, the good boy's fist swung at Kenta.

That bad boy is at least two heads taller than Kenta, tall, long, and strides, and the short Kenta only suffers from him.

Kenta relied on his short body to dodge the first two attacks, but the third time he was blocked by the front and back attacks.

Seeing that the fist was getting closer and closer to him, Kenta, who knew that he couldn't dodge this time, squatted down with his head in his hands, and put his schoolbag on top of his head, hoping that this would relieve the strength of the opponent's fist falling on him.

But he didn't wait for the opponent's fist, but only heard a scream from the unscrupulous young man.

Feeling wrong, Kenta took the schoolbag that was blocking his face and looked up, and found that the wild cat that had been fed by himself for a few noons was blowing up the fluff all over his body, arching his body and grinning at the unscrupulous boy who attacked him, and the unscrupulous young man was holding the back of his hand and wailing.

Just when Kenta squatted down and was about to be beaten, Xu Jie, who had been following him, ran out and rushed at the unscrupulous young man is paw.

The unscrupulous young man, who was dressed as a gentleman, was looking at the back of his hand at this time, and saw that there were four deep scratches on it, all of which were oozing blood outside.

The unscrupulous young man, who had not suffered such a loss for a long time, suddenly became angry, and waved his hands and feet to hit Xu Jie, who bared his teeth at him.

Of course, Xu Jie couldn't stand there and be beaten by him, the cat's hand was much more flexible than a human.

So it flew back and forth with its four claws, letting out a terrible howl as it lured the unscrupulous boy away from Kenta's side.

Meow---, meow---, too sharp cat meow quickly attracted the attention of nearby people, and many residents had already opened their windows and poked their heads out to check the situation outside.

No/Liang was afraid that the cat's meow would attract the adults nearby, he covered his hands and gritted his teeth and said to Kenta, "Good boy, and that cat, you wait for me." ”

After saying that, he found that it seemed that someone was really following the sound, and he hurriedly ran to the other side of the street.

Kenta Fujimoto was still squatting on the ground at this time, not because he didn't want to get up, but because his body was weak and his legs were weak, so he couldn't stand up.

Finding that the tanuki cat that had saved him was walking towards him with a flick of his tail, Kenta reached out and held it in his arms, rubbed it a few times and said, "Cat, thank you for saving me." If you come home with me, I will definitely take care of you, and I will save all my pocket money for you. ”

Xu Jie, who was licking his paws in Kenta's arms, heard the words and got out of his arm, if this sentence was said to it by an adult Kenta, Xu Jie might still think about it.

But now he is too young for a child to even decide his own affairs, so it is better not to have a pet at this time.

Understanding Xu Jie's refusal, Kenta Fujimoto was a little frustrated, but he still said: "That person is a neighbor who moved in three days ago, and it is said that the family is a mixed gang/faction. I'll be safer back home, but what if you get caught outside? ”

Xu Jie meowed when he heard this, and seemed to disdain Kenta's statement.

In fact, it really didn't care about what Little Fat Dun said just now, the guy who stood in the way just now, looking like he had to be at least a junior high school student, but he came here to blackmail/extort a primary school student, who had just entered the first grade.

The character of the guy who can do this kind of thing is obviously a bully and a fear of the hard, and this kind of character can only be unpleasant there.

Not to mention that he is still young and can't mix with the gang/faction, even if he gets mixed in in the future, with this kind of character, he can only be a shrimp at the bottom, what is there to be afraid of.

Realizing that he really couldn't convince the tanuki cat, Kenta had to retreat and ask, "Then will you come to me tomorrow at noon?" ”

Xu Jie, who was leaving, turned his head when he heard this, and gave him a reply with a little light.

Kenta Fujimoto's eyes widened in surprise when he saw this, and said, "Can you understand me?" Can you really understand it? Why didn't you respond to me? Wow, you're as smart as my sister's god feather. Then we said okay, you must come to me tomorrow, and I will let my mother cook a boiled egg and wait for you. ”

Xu Jie, who knew that he would have eggs to eat tomorrow, was very satisfied with the words, it was simple to get along with children, especially Kenta, a little fat man, who was kind-hearted and simple, if he met an adult with a complex mind, Xu Jie would not dare to show such a spiritual side.

Xu Jie, who was in a good mood, cocked his tail and swayed gently back and forth at the tip of his tail, indicating that the cat was in a sunny mood now.

On the way back to the nest, Xu Jie was walking with his feet jumping and thinking about the location of today's dinner, and when he was approaching the unfinished building, the tip of its tail that was swinging back and forth suddenly did not move.

I saw a row of cats waiting on the wall in front of me. They squatted, sitted, or standed, but the direction was the same, that is, facing Xu Jie's side.

Xu Jie looked up at those cats, and counted them silently in his heart, there must be at least a dozen, three-flower, tortoiseshell, tabby, variegated solid color, anyway, Xu Jie has seen several cats, which are almost all accounted for.

I don't know what these cats are waiting for here, although they don't show any hostility towards themselves, Xu Jie still raises his vigilance.

At this moment, a fat cat with brown and yellow patches on its fur that was squatting at the front jumped down from the fence and walked towards Xu Jie with a shaking beard.

Xu Jie looked at the other party's trembling abdominal fat layer that had not stopped until now, and was deeply worried about the cat's limb bones.

Finding that the other party was getting closer and closer, Xu Jie's ears arched back and his back hair made a ho-ho cry at the other party.

Seeing that Xu Jie didn't seem to want to let himself pass, the fat cat stopped and raised his head to sniff here.

Then Xu Jie heard the fat cat muttering in a low voice: "It's a very ordinary kitten, and there is nothing outstanding about it, what's wrong with Mo this time?" ”

After saying that, it glanced at Xu Jie again, then turned around and barked at the cats on the wall, and the cats jumped off the wall one by one and left behind the fat cat.

Xu Jie, who was left in place, was confused, and he couldn't figure out what these cats were doing here.

It knows that cats are sometimes very nervous, so this time it was lucky enough to observe a group of cats getting sick?

Xu Jie, who was messy in the wind, thought wildly.
