Chapter Twenty-Eight: It Seems to Be an Old Man
Dahua pressed the jade pendant under her stomach and slept soundly, when she was suddenly awakened by a long-lost sense of fear.
It opened its turquoise cat's eyes and looked around warily, not noticing anything unusual. It has been living in this mountain forest for nearly 100 years, and it is very familiar with every plant and tree here. Although I couldn't see what was going on, the fear in my heart was rising.
Suddenly, its fur exploded, the pupils in its green eyes widened, and it bent its back in a posture that could attack at any moment.
A rainbow of light fell, and the big flower finally saw the source of its fearβthe woman it had been secretly observing for a long time two days before!
The hundred-year-old Xiaoao Mountain Forest made a fatal mistake. When it swooped in front of the woman and raised its front paws in an attempt to tear her carotid artery, its body was suddenly enveloped in a cloud of moisture!
"Wow~~~" A terrible scream came out from the huge water balloon.
Liu Zhao didn't look at the cat that fell to the ground, with a fierce face. She flew straight to the tall tree, took off the family heirloom, and examined it carefully.
"It's good that it didn't break, or I'd have to let your ugly cat die!" Liu Zhao blew off the dust on the jade pendant, a small fountain gushed out of his hand, cleaned the jade pendant, and then put it in his pocket.
"Meow, meow, wow!" The big cat, still trapped in the water balloon, let out an angry roar like a human.
"Huh? Liu Zhao, this ugly cat said, this is its owner's thing, you are not allowed to take it away! Xiaoqing understood the meaning of the big cat and translated it for Liu Zhao.
"This jade pendant was handed down by my ancestors, is it a wild cat and an owner?" Liu Zhao squatted down and looked at the brightly colored flower cat in the water polo.
The big cat whined again, and Liu Zhao looked at the translator Xiaoqing with black lines.
"Uh-huh!" Xiaoqing cleared her throat proudly, shook her head and said, "This ugly cat said that it used to be a domestic cat in Bei Mansion, and the jade pendant in your hand has the name of its owner on it." β
"What north and what house, inexplicable! If you want to steal from me, just say it, I won't kill you! Liu Zhao took advantage of the moonlight to look at the jade pendant in his hand.
Sure enough, in the place where the jade pendant was hollowed out, she found a seal-type pattern.
"Hey, that's weird!" Liu Zhao condensed his divine sense on the delicate pattern of the miniature carving, and muttered in his mouth: "Guerjia...... Lian Zhong? β
"Hey, it's Guan Laosan!" Liu Zhao said suddenly.
"Woo...... Meow! When the big cat heard Liu Zhao explain this most noble title in its heart, it was so angry that its hair exploded again, and its tail was raised high.
"It says that it is not allowed to insult its master!" Xiaoqing shook her head and dutifully translated.
"Okay, I see, you let it come back to our house with me." Liu Zhao jumped on the seven-colored yarn as he spoke, and flew towards the mid-mountain villa without looking back.
"Hey, wait for me!" Xiaoqing's lightning is like a shadow, and she didn't forget to spit out the snake letter at the big cat that was drenched in water.
In the villa, a person and a cat sit at opposite ends of the dining table on the first floor. Liu Zhao spread the yellowed old photos left in his home on the dining table and asked the big cats to identify them one by one.
After a long time, when the big cat saw an old man with a big pigtail and a shaved moon head, holding a picture of a little girl carved in pink and jade, it jumped on the table and barked at the old man a few times.
"Yes, this is my grandma's grandfather! I know, what kind of house is in the north, it should be called Baylor House, right? Liu Zhao glared at Xiaoqing dissatisfied, just this level of translation?
Liu Zhao picked out the photo, found a photo of himself and his grandmother, put it in front of the big cat at the same time, and patiently explained to the big cat: "This girl is the old lady in this photo." And this beauty is me! β
The big cat looked at the photo, then at Liu Zhao, thought for a while, jumped on the table, cautiously walked to Liu Zhao's side, rubbed his head against her arm, and looked very gentle.
Liu Zhao sighed in his heart, hugged the big cat into his arms, stroked its smooth hair, and asked, "Why did you appear here?" β
A thin purr came out of the big cat's throat, and Liu Zhao looked at the little green strip lying on the table again with help.
"It says it's called Big Flower. Oops, what a broken name! Liu Zhao, it seems that your family doesn't have a good name for your pets! Xiaoqing remembered her name and felt very sympathetic to this big cat with the size of a leopard.
"Big flowers? Yes, yes, I also think it's good to be called Big Flower! Powerful genetics! Liu Zhao expressed great admiration for his wife and grandfather, who had never met.
"It said that it came here a hundred years ago and ran out of its house in search of the last emperor in the world." Xiaoqing resigned herself to no longer bothering about her name and continued to be its translator.
"When he luckily became a cat demon, he returned to the capital Baylor Mansion and found that the owner of the mansion had moved away, so he had to live in this mountain."
Feeling that Dahua had not forgotten Guan Beile and his old man for a hundred years, Liu Zhao handed the jade pendant to it and said, "Dahua, this jade pendant will be given to you!" I think that you are used to being free in the past hundred years, and I will not keep you! As for our family, you also know each other, and you can come to play often in the future. β
Dahua listened to Liu Zhao's words, picked up the jade pendant with an aggrieved face, and jumped on her lap. With a paw that was one size larger than the other cats, he stepped lightly on her lap, and after a circle, he lay on her lap and closed his eyes comfortably.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? Liu Zhao looked at the big cat lying on her lap, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"Hehe, what Dahua means is that it finally found an organization, and from now on, it will be the same as me, relying on you!" Xiao Qing's golden eyes narrowed into a slit and explained happily.
"Hey! You both bullied me stupidly, didn't you? I'm a cultivator, not a pet shop! Liu Zhao grabbed the fur on the back of Dahua's neck with his hand, lifted it up, and put it on the ground.
Dahua obviously understood what Liu Zhao meant, and didn't talk nonsense, so she jumped on her lap again, formed a ball again, and continued to pretend to be asleep.
"Gotcha! I admit it, who made you my wife's grandfather's pet? Since I inherited his property, I will inherit his pet by the way! Liu Zhao helplessly exonerated himself, took the jade pendant from Dahua's mouth, and put it back in the brocade box.
"Hehe, you are a small green and a big flower, so it's called a blue and white combination!" Liu Zhao laughed mischievously.
"Protest!" Xiao Qing jumped on top of Liu Zhao's head in a fit of rage.
"Wow~~~" Dahua also raised her head and shouted lazily at Liu Zhao.
"Protests are invalid, my pet is my way! Now, big blue flowers, follow me into the Roselle space to recognize the door! β
After speaking, she had Xiaoqing on her head and a big flower in her hand, and appeared in the Roselle space in a strange shape.
As soon as the big flower landed, he didn't pay attention to the strangeness of the space, but ran straight towards the old furniture. It smelled and rubbed in the furniture, and tears welled up in the green cat's eyes, as if it had returned to the once-prosperous Baylor House a hundred years ago.
