Chapter 1 Sheltering the White Cat
An Zijue has been called a monster since she was a child. Her father and mother are also old, and her mother gave birth to her when she was forty years old.
Fifteen years ago, on the day Mrs. An gave birth, Wen Po's face was as frightened as a pig's liver when she saw the baby girl for the first time, and she threw away the baby girl in her hand on the spot and ran out of the delivery room like crazy with the bloody hands that had just been delivered for Mrs. An, and her mouth kept trembling and shouting: "Monster! Monster ......"
Old Man An, who was pacing outside the door and waiting anxiously, broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this scene, and the baby girl who was thrown on the ground looked extremely weird, with horns on the top of her forehead, small horns like a small branch, and purple algae-like things on her stomach and some purple scales of different sizes.
He had just been born, defenseless, and had been thrown on the cold floor, and his skin and horns on the top of his head were blue from the cold.
Looking at the half-human, half-beast baby girl on the ground, Master An suddenly felt his scalp tingle, he looked at the monster on the ground in disbelief, and kept asking himself, is this really my child?
But he was more worried about his wife, and fortunately, Mrs. An fell asleep due to the fatigue of the production director, and she didn't have time to see the monster she gave birth to.
Master An ordered his subordinates to quickly pick up the baby on the ground and wrap it in cloth, and when the subordinates saw the object, they all cowered and stopped, and no one dared to touch her.
Master An scolded them angrily before someone shook his hands and hugged her with his eyes closed.
Mrs. Ann woke up and did not see the child, so she simply asked where the child had gone.
Master An was worried that Mrs. would not be able to bear the blow and did not plan to hold the freak to her, but as soon as Mrs. An woke up, she cried and cried to see the child, and Master An couldn't resist her, so she had to send someone to hold the freak in front of her.
When the next person held the child in front of her, the hands holding the child have been shaking violently, and Mrs. An was really startled after seeing the child in the swaddling clothes, but she was still willing to take the child from the hands of the next person, the mother's eyes looked at her in the swaddling clothes, and she actually smiled when she saw her mother, and Mrs. An saw the child laughing very cute, so the previous fear was reduced a lot.
Master An didn't seem to have the joy of other people's new children, but frowned, "Madam, in my opinion, let's get rid of her as soon as possible." ”
Anfu is also a big family with a face in this town, if outsiders know that Mrs. Anfu gave birth to a monster, wouldn't it make Anfu a laughing stock, lose face, and let the world point fingers.
This is exactly what Master An is worried about.
"Master, why do you say such a thing, although she looks a little weird, but she is still our daughter, and she is also a piece of meat that fell from me."
Mrs. An lowered her head and looked at her who was casually wrapped in cloth, the pain in her heart churned vigorously one by one, and then looked at the little eyes of her daughter looking at her and the little smile on her face, which made her bear to abandon her.
"Madame......"
Master An frowned, so angry that he couldn't even pick up the words, but walked around the room a few times with his hands behind his back, and stopped talking: "Madam, if the news of a freak in Anfu spreads, what would it be like?" Where is the old man's face? ”
"I don't care, if you insist on getting rid of our daughter for the sake of your own face, then you can get rid of me together......"
Mrs. Ann threatened with snot and tears.
Master An is also a real person, seeing that his wife is so protective of the child, and then looking at the child is really pitiful, so he dispelled the idea of destroying the child.
So he nodded and agreed to keep her, but he still didn't want to admit that he was her own father.
Now Zi Jue is also fifteen years old, and she has never been treated except for her mother since she can remember, but her mother died when she was ten years old.
Her father didn't try to avoid her when she was alive, and most of the time he just pretended not to see her, but since her mother left, her father has become even more disgusted or afraid of her.
He didn't even want to see her, he didn't even want to be with her during dinner, and he asked her to move to the backyard for fear that her appearance would scare people, no one wanted to pay attention to her since she was a child, and even the people in the house would be scared to hide away when they saw her, she was never allowed to step out of the gate of Anfu to play on the street, because of these, her heart was very helpless and lonely.
On this day, Zi Jue was bored as usual, leaning on the wooden chair in the backyard yard, with a dog's tail in her mouth, looking at the destitute sky, waiting to see herself fall asleep, and then wake up to a new day.
Suddenly, a very dazzling white light flashed in the sky, and a black shadow followed closely behind.
"Meow, meow......"
After a while, in addition to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, Zi Jue also knew a few miserable cat meows.
So she got up and followed the sound, and when she came to the corner of the yard against the wall, she saw two cats, one white and flawless, and the other pure black.
The black cat has been besieging the white cat and making a frightened scream, even in the daytime, the eyes of the two cats are glowing with different colors, the white cat's white hair is covered with blood, and the two small paws on the bluestone slab have been bloody and blurred, and the wounds are still bleeding.
Seeing her coming, the white cat's eyes kept on her, as if begging her to save it.
The kind-hearted Zi Jue couldn't bear to watch the injured white cat being bitten to death by the black cat, so he picked up the bamboo pole next to him to scare the black cat away, and when the bamboo pole slapped the black cat's body, it angered it, and just as the black cat was about to jump up and catch her, he saw a trace of fear in its eyes, so the black cat was scared and disappeared without a trace.
Zi Jue just had a sour nose, thinking that even a cat was frightened by her appearance, and it was quite unpleasant.
Now there is only the injured white cat in the corner, she wants to reach out to help it but is afraid that she will scare the white cat, she has to squat at a distance from the white cat and look at it and mutter: "Little white cat, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, the black cat has been scared away by me, now you are safe." ”
From the white cat's eyes, she didn't see a trace of fear, but a pleading and grateful look, did it hope that she could bandage its wounds?
She wanted to help it too, but she was afraid that when she got close to it, it would be scared of her appearance and even run away, which happened to her all too often, but she didn't like the feeling of abandonment and isolation.
"Meow ......"
The white cat barked very gently, not as heart-rending as before, and a pair of bright and bright light dark green eyes looked at her gently.
Zi Jue's heart was shocked, this kind and unfrightening look had only been seen in the eyes of her mother, it turned out that this white cat was not afraid of her but wanted to treat her as a friend.
Seeing that the white cat was not hostile to herself, she slowly paced to its side and gently touched its head, its hair was so soft, cotton cotton like a marshmallow, Yuyu's hair was very smooth, and the white coat was so white that it was not stained, but unfortunately it was full of blood.
After Zi Jue carefully picked up the white cat and put it on her bed, she quietly went to the pharmacy in the house to steal some valuable trauma medicine and some food.
Learn to bandage the wound of the white cat like a mother, first call a basin of warm water, clean the wound with a cloth, and then apply the medicine with gauze to gently wrap the wound, the white cat shrank in pain, but Zi Jue unhurriedly helped it blow the freshly bandaged place: "Little white cat, you bear with it, I will help you blow it and it won't hurt, my mother used to blow it for me like this, it won't hurt!" ”
At this point she remembered the past, when everyone in the house avoided her, and they all pointed to the horns above her head and said that she was a monster.
Even her own father didn't want to take care of her, and when she returned to the room, she was so sad that she even blamed herself for why she looked like this?
When she was sad, she would pick up a dagger and cut the hateful horns with a knife, and the cut horns would soon flow out dark green juice, and then it would be very painful, and she was about to faint to death in pain.
Fortunately, my mother arrived in time, and while scolding her for being a stupid child, she carefully bandaged her, and when it hurts, my mother will keep blowing and blowing until it doesn't hurt.
After bandaging the wound, the white cat fell asleep peacefully.
Zi Jue was very happy to look at it, because this was the first time she had taken care of someone else, even though it was only a cat.
After Zi Jue's meticulous care of the white cat for a few days, it is almost better, the wound has healed, the hair has grown more radiant, and the complexion is quite good.
The white cat gets along well with her, and these days it likes to jump on her while she's asleep, and its fleshy little pink paws rub against her face.
Although she played well with the white cat, she also understood that the white cat's destination was not her after all, it must also have a home and an owner, and its owner may be very worried about it now, so she has been persuading the white cat to go home and find her owner these days.
The white cat didn't leave, and even though it didn't take long for her to let it go, it came back looking for her.
It seems that the white cat is as reluctant as she is, so she had the idea of taking in the white cat, and it just so happens that she finally has a playmate to play with, thinking that she will never be as lonely as before in the future.
"Little white cat, little white cat, what do you say I call you?"
Zi Jue held it in her arms, her slender nails sank into its hair and stroked it, looking at the white cat's white hair like the cotton clouds in the sky, the white and soft looked extremely comfortable, "Little white cat, then I'll call you Yun Shu!" ”
”
Yun Shu, Yun Shu.
”
She called out, and the white cat suddenly ran to her neck, and two small pink paws leaned on her shoulders, stretching its neck and licking her face, its tongue touching the skin of her face.
Rustling"
The feeling made her giggle.
On this night, the stars in the sky were dazzling, and the silver light of the moon on the window lattice blended with Yun Shu's coat color, so discordant.
Zi Jue was sleeping in Zhengxiang, and Yun Shu was wagging his tail and squatting next to her shoulder, using his tail to help her drive away the summer insects.
Yun Shu's ears moved sensitively as if they had heard something, and someone deliberately poured a large amount of oil into the place where Zi Jue lived, and threw down the fire, and choking smoke suddenly rose around him, and the fire erupted and illuminated the surroundings as bright as daytime.
Yun Shu immediately shook Zi Jue's hand with his paws, Zi Jue slept in a daze, gently pushed Yun Shu's paws away, and said vaguely: "Yun Shu, don't make trouble, I'll play with you tomorrow, be good, go to sleep."
”
Yun Shugan got up in a hurry, so it licked her ears and cheeks with its tongue again, and kept screaming.
After a lot of hard work, she finally woke her up, and when she woke up, she panicked, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and now it is estimated that few people will come to save her.
Zi Jue's first reaction was to rush out of the sea of fire with Yun Shu in her arms, and she rushed out with her eyes closed.
When I opened my eyes, I found that I was fine, and Yun Shu was fine.
It's incredible, it was clear that it came out of the sea of fire and was unscathed.
The fire spread and swallowed the yard where she lived, could it be her father's doing?
Looking at the other courtyards, the entire Anfu mansion was sunk in flames, Zi Jue's face sank, and tears came out of her eyes.
Yun Shu's claws clawed restlessly at her feet, as if to persuade her to flee now, otherwise the fire would invade her in a while.
Zi Jue squatted down and picked up Yun Shu and escaped from Anfu overnight.
The next day, when she woke up, she found herself lying in a ruined temple, surrounded by some cobwebs except for some weeds and the fire that had been burned before, as if there was something missing around her, by the way, Yun Shu was not there, where did it go?
Zi Jue looked for it everywhere, "Yun Shu, where are you?"
Yun Shu ......"
"Meow ......"
Yun Shu's small figure appeared at the door of the stone temple, and it walked in with a fart, as if it was still holding something in its mouth.
Zi Jue walked over with joy when she saw it, only to see clearly what it brought, except for some buns, it actually brought a piece of black gauze, looking at this gauze for a long time, Zi Jue realized that Yun Shu was afraid that her appearance would cause inconvenience to herself, so she found this thing so that she could cover it up.
She was so moved that she was about to cry, there would be such a humane cat in the world, but she was also very helpless, and now her home was also burned, and there was nothing on her body, plus she looked so weird, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.
"Yun Shu, let's go, now I can't protect myself, and I can't take care of you......"
Zi Jue looked at Yun Shu reluctantly, feeling helpless, Yun Shu ignored her, and continued to lick her hair and little paws.
Zi Jue finally couldn't bear it, she decided to leave Yun Shu behind, she promised Yun Shu that as long as she had her, she would not discard it.
Walking out of the ruined temple, Zi Jue, who was walking on the street, looked surprised, she had never seen such people coming and going, so lively, and so many kinds of food and novelties.
It turns out that the scenery outside the house is so beautiful!
Fortunately, Yun Shu found a black gauze to cover her with the horns that proved that she was a monster, and passers-by didn't pay much attention to her, at most it was a white cat in her arms, Yun Shu slept in her arms all day long, and slept in her arms like a dead pig when she walked on the street
Target.
"I heard that there was a fire in Anfuli in the town last night......"
Passing by a teahouse, I heard some idlers drinking tea to pass the time gathered around a table, knocking melon seeds in their hands, and talking about last night's events.
"Alas, pity that big family!
When the yamen arrived this morning, Anfu had already been burned to ashes, and dozens of charred white bones were found.
”
"Who do you say this Master An has provoked?
How could he have suffered such a terrible retribution!
”
"Shh......h I guess, maybe it's because Master An offended others when he was doing business, so people didn't come to the door.
”
"Alas, you say, this matter is man-made, do things, let's pay attention to everything, in case the enemy comes to the door one day, it won't be good.
”
After that, these chattering people couldn't finish the tea on the table, shook their sleeves and walked away from the teahouse.
After hearing this, Zi Jue's tears had already blurred her eyes, and the tears flowed down like a waterfall, Yun Shu's hair was wet for a long time, and there was a salty taste when you licked it.
So Yun Shu rubbed his head in her arms to comfort her.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew off the gauze on the top of her head, revealing the two strange purple horns of the branches.
