Chapter 106: Fire
Being able to laze in the sun in the late autumn season is a very pleasant thing for cats.
That afternoon, after exercising, Xu Jie lay down in the community where the pastoral couple lived, looking at the pastoral garden not far away that was playing with the kittens.
Cats recover very quickly, especially feral cats.
After more than a week of recuperation, the splint on the pastoral paw had been removed, but the bandage responsible for fixing it was still on it.
The doctor said that in a week at most, Tian Yuan's injuries would be almost recovered, and when the bandages were removed, as long as he was careful, he could move and hunt normally.
Tian Yuan was smiling when he heard the news, and in order to ensure that he could get better quickly, he now kept three legs even when he teased the kitten.
At this time, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Sanhua went out to hunt, and Mo was also busy for Xu Jie's afternoon tea. The five small, weak, and sick people left behind are here to play with their own.
I have to say that the energy of the kittens is too strong, Xu Jie has been playing with them for nearly an hour just now, and the result is that it is tired and sleepy, and the three are still in good spirits.
Now that he has changed the countryside to coax the child, Xu Jie looked at the countryside with his mouth open and his tongue almost turned into a Wang Xingren, and thought in his heart that it would not last long.
Sure enough, after a while, the panting Tian Yuan slumped his shoulders and walked towards Xu Jie.
Its kittens, while chasing after the countryside and biting its tail, meowed and said, "Daddy, don't go, Daddy, stay with us for a while." โ
The dry-mouthed Tian Yuan turned his head and licked his eldest daughter closest to him when he heard this, and then said, "Neli, Dad is too tired and thirsty. Wait for Dad to drink saliva and rest for a while to play with you, okay? โ
Although the kittens were a little disappointed when they heard this, they still listened to Tian Yuan's words very obediently, came around and licked and rubbed on their father's body, and then ran to the side to play by themselves.
Tian Yuan took advantage of this opportunity to lie down almost flat and rest beside Xu Jie.
After a while, Tian Yuan got up from the ground and said to Xu Jie, who was squinting and about to fall asleep: "Teacher Jie, I'll go find some water to drink in the community, please help me watch them for a while." โ
Hearing this, Xu Jie forcibly opened his eyes and said, "Okay, you go and come back quickly." โ
Hearing this, Tian Yuan flicked his tail to find water to drink, leaving the sleepy Xu Jie, squinting his eyes and ears to pay attention to the movements of the kitten.
It didn't take long for Xu Jie to hear a burst of laughter and noise from the kittens, Xu Jie heard the sound and was smart, stood up and looked at it, it turned out to be a group of children and kittens playing together.
Xu Jie, who realized it later, remembered that today was Sunday, no wonder these little ghosts appeared in the community at this time.
The children's hearts are uncertain, Xu Jie is not worried about letting the kittens get too close to a group of unknown children, in case there is a bad-tempered bear child inside, it will be too unlucky.
Fortunately, the children were very polite and the little ones on both sides were very restrained.
Although they were playing, the children were just holding branches or weeds and dangling around to tease the kittens, and they didn't mean to touch or hug them.
Even so, Xu Jie still stepped forward to take the kittens away, because these little guys were different from himself.
As the offspring of feral cats, it is best for them to live away from the crowds, because when they grow up, they may encounter a wide variety โกโกof humans and animals.
Xu Jie can't let these kittens leave in his mind the consciousness that all humans are very kind and can be safely contacted, after all, although there are many kind-hearted people in this world, it is not impossible to have a bad temper and a perverted heart.
Just when Xu Jie wanted to take the three kittens farther away, among the children who were still teasing the kittens just now, a little girl suddenly cried.
Hearing the little girl crying, her elders didn't know where it came from.
Then while coaxing the little girl not to cry, he looked around fiercely with his eyes, as if he wanted to find out the 'culprit' who provoked the little girl to cry.
The old woman, who looked a little older, looked around and didn't notice anything unusual.
So he lowered his head and asked his granddaughter, "Yami, why are you crying to grandma, is someone bullying you?" โ
As she spoke, she glanced at the other children with her eyes, especially the ones who were usually naughty.
The little boys who were in the spotlight hurriedly took a few steps back, shaking their heads and waving their hands again and again to indicate that it was not their little girl who made them cry.
At this time, the little girl who was crying and chirping also pointed to Xu Jie and the kittens not far away and said, "Mimi, Yami wants to play with Mimi, but the big cat has taken Mimi away." โ
Her grandmother looked in the direction of her granddaughter's finger and found Xu Jie and the kitten who had gone away, so she pouted and said, "What's so fun about a group of little wild cats?" Rolling outside all day, dirty and smelly, in case that one has something wrong with it, it will be bad if it infects you, come and go home with grandma. โ
As he spoke, he took the little girl's hand and walked upstairs to the apartment.
However, the little girl named Masami seemed to be dissatisfied with her grandmother's handling this time, and cried louder and louder, and kept shouting: "Mimi, Mimi, I want Mimi." โ
Seeing the little girl crying and being pulled upstairs, her friends looked at each other a few times before parting.
The faint little boys who were once the focus of attention are still saying: "Masami's grandmother looks so fierce, and Masami is so scary when she cries, let's not play with her in the future, it's so troublesome." โ
These words were actually recognized by most of the children, so without the little girl's knowledge, she was slowly excluded from the group by her friends.
The little girl named Yami was still crying after being brought home by her grandmother, and kept clamoring for kittens and Mimi.
Her father came out of the house and asked, "What made Masami cry so much?" โ
His mother rolled her eyes when she heard this and said, "For the sake of cats, I don't know where a group of little wild cats came out of nowhere, so that our family's Yami can see it." Say that you have to raise anything, and if you don't let you raise it, you will cry, I can't do it, you can coax it. โ
The father smiled when he heard the words and said: "I thought it was a big deal, isn't it just a wild cat, it's also worth Yami's crying like this, watch your father go out and catch you back for you to raise as you like." โ
So saying, the father went to the entrance to put on his shoes and clothes, and prepared to go out.
Seeing this, the grandmother frowned and said, "Don't expect me to take care of you when the cat is caught, serving your family every day is enough for me, don't want to increase my workload." โ
When the father heard this, he said while tying his shoes: "The wild cat I picked up is just a precious and valuable breed, who else should serve it?" Masami is just a child, play with her for a while, and when she gets tired of it, she just throws it away regardless of whether she lives or dies. โ
The grandmother relieved her brow when she heard this, but then she said again: "You want to go downstairs really to catch a cat for Yami?" You don't want to drink again, do you? โ
The man smiled stupidly when he heard this, and said with some embarrassment: "How come." โ
Then he put on his shoes and went downstairs quickly.
The man who came downstairs did not rush to find his daughter's cat, but wandered outside the convenience store gate outside the complex. In the end, he ignored his mother's warning and went in to buy a bottle of high-strength soju.
It seemed that he hadn't drunk wine for a long time, and the man with the wine bottle couldn't wait to get home, so he unscrewed the wine bottle and poured a few big sips in the community.
Then this drunken man began to carry a wine bottle to find a cat for his daughter in the community.
Xu Jie was playing with the kittens in the small pavilion not far from the gate of the community at this time, so the man didn't take a few steps to see them.
Xu Jie looked at the man who came over with a wine bottle, and felt that his eyes were wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his head and drove away all the kittens around him.
Sure enough, as soon as the kittens dispersed, the man lunged at them, targeting Nelly, the kitten closest to him.
The calm Nellie evaded the man's pursuit very nimblely, and after a few dodges, she ran into the green bushes and could no longer see a shadow.
Not caught Nelly, the man was not discouraged, and turned to chase after Jasmine.
Jasmine had better luck than her sister, and there happened to be a big tree nearby, so it didn't take long for it to climb to it, leaving the man standing at the bottom and staring.
Seeing that the other two had run away, the man set his eyes on the beautiful body of the last kitten.
Beauty is the youngest of the three sisters in this litter, and she is timid and not in good shape.
Because this sister and parents usually take care of it, the kittens who have been raised since childhood have never encountered such a thing.
She was scared of her weak legs, and only ran out for more than ten meters when Xu Jie drove them, and then she felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and she was running slower and slower.
And Xu Jie, who had been trying to stop the man's movements, couldn't care about anything else after discovering this situation, rushed over to learn the way of ink, picked up the beautiful legs on the ground and ran.
The drunken man was carrying a wine bottle and shouting behind him and chasing wildly, and he also felt that Xu Jie and Xiaomei were unlucky, and ran for a distance of nearly a thousand meters, but it was all a spacious avenue, and there was no place for them to hide around.
Thanks to Xu Jie, who has been practicing running for a while, otherwise with his body, it would be a question whether he could continue to run with a kitten in his mouth.
Just when Xu Jie and Xiaomei were being chased by chickens and dogs, they went out to find water to drink from the countryside and came back.
Jasmine, who was standing in the tree, shouted to her father with all her might, "Daddy, that human wants to catch us, and keeps chasing Uncle Applejack and Beauty. โ
Hearing this, Idyllic's eyes are on fire, and it shouts to Applejack before heading towards them.
Xu Jie thought that Tian Yuan came over to pick up the kitten, but who knew that when it ran over with Mei Mei in its mouth, Tian Yuan ran directly past them.
When it saw this, it stopped, but saw that the countryside was crazy and ran towards the man with the bottle.
Before the man could react, Tian Yuan rushed over and scratched him in the face.
The man screamed and opened the field that had been thrown on his face, and when he wiped his face, he saw that his hands were covered in blood.
The man who was so angry that his eyes were red was on the alcohol, unscrewed the wine bottle in his hand, and said while squirting at Xu Jiemei and Tianyuan: "Damn wild cat, you dare to hurt me, see if I don't burn you." โ
The empty bottle was thrown to the ground, and the man took out the lighter in his pocket and pressed the electronic lighter with a sinister smile.
All of a sudden, the blue flames jumped up in his hand, but it was not Xu Jie and his cats who were burned, but the man who wanted to set the fire.
It turned out that when he was pouring out the wine, a large amount of soju was sprayed on his hands, arms, and clothes, but now when he saw the open flame, he immediately caught fire.
Ah~~~ A miserable howl immediately sounded in the community, and the residents and administrators of the community who came to check on the hearing saw this, and called an ambulance while helping the man extinguish the fire on his body.
The community was in chaos for a while, and Xu Jie felt that it was no longer safe to stay here at this time.
So it took advantage of the chaos to find both Nelly and Jasmine, and left a message for Mo and Sanhua, telling them to go to the doctor to find the cat.
Then Xu Jie carried the beautiful back of Nelly, the countryside held Jasmine with lame paws, two big, three small and five meows, and jumped out of the community like a refugee.
