Ma Xiaoxiao woke up again in the early morning of the tenth day after coming to Wangcheng after being knocked unconscious by Friday, and what prompted her to wake up was the cat's soft tongue with small barbs.
When Ma Xiaoxiao woke up, she found that the cat was lying on her chest licking the tears on her face, and next to her, it was Friday, who had taken off her mask and looked at her and the cat silently with a sad face.
"Today, let's not do anything, it's okay to accompany it together." From Friday's face, Ma Xiaoxiao, who knew that the cat at this time should just be back to light, said to Friday in an indigenous language in a soft voice.
"Okay." Friday nodded, and replied with a "yes" in the same soft voice.
In one day, Ma Xiaoxiao didn't do much, because even though she slowed down all the things such as feeding, bathing, trimming nails, and combing hair to cats, she still couldn't take too long, because cats' bodies are really not big.
After doing all this, Ma Xiaoxiao sat on the steps outside the hall with the cat in his arms.
Compared with the previous nine days, the cat is really in a bad mood today, and it has maintained a rather excited state almost all day long, and kept spoiling Ma Xiaoxiao, as if it had returned to the days when it was a child and followed her every day.
This state of excitement of the cat has been maintained until the middle of the moon.
When the moonlight fell all over the ground, Ma Xiaoxiao, Friday and the cat's figure were all completely enveloped by the moonlight, the cat finally rubbed Ma Xiaoxiao's face with his head and called out the first meow of the day, which was also the last one it left in this world......
As the last rays of moonlight were annihilated and the first rays of sunlight fell again, the whole body of the cat, which had been held in Ma Xiaoxiao's arms, had completely lost all its temperature and became stiff and cold.
"Let it be buried in the ground." Friday, who had been sitting with Ma Xiaoxiao on the cold steps outside the hall, sat all night, looked at the rising sun, and said to Ma Xiaoxiao.
"Wait." Ma Xiaoxiao hugged the stiff cat in his arms and replied.
"Okay." Friday said a word and stopped talking.
As time passed, that is, after the morning sun rose, the afterglow of the setting sun finally fell on the two of them again.
Pulling her legs, which were already stiff as the body of a cat in her arms, Ma Xiaoxiao, who had not moved, finally stood up at the moment when the last afterglow was about to fade.
Shaking his body slightly, Ma Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and took his steps under Friday's worried gaze.
"I've prepared a place for it before, let's take a look, and if you're not satisfied, you can find another place for it yourself." Friday said to Ma Xiaoxiao, who was walking forward.
"Okay." Hearing Friday's words, Ma Xiaoxiao walked back to him again with stiff steps.
"That place is a little far away, it's better to ......" Looking at Ma Xiaoxiao's stiff steps, Friday said with a frown.
"No, I'd like to walk over by myself." Without waiting for Friday to finish, Ma Xiaoxiao interrupted Friday's words.
"Okay then." Friday said this, and put the mask back on his face.
Walking out of the courtyard of the palace here, Friday first gestured in one direction before taking another step.
The road leading to the cat's tomb is indeed a bit long and rugged, because the location of the tomb is a high mountain range, although this mountain still belongs to the scope of the royal city, it can be said to be the highest existence in the entire royal city.
The scenery outside the tomb can be seen with the coastline in the distance.
"It's good here, I think it's going to like it." Ma Xiaoxiao hugged the cat and looked around, said a word to Friday, then turned around and burrowed into the tomb carved out of the rock wall.
Walking to the deepest part of the tomb, Ma Xiaoxiao looked around at the tomb that was exactly the same as the cave where she, Friday, and Cat lived on the isolated island, and her sadness was finally lightened by the magnificent replica here.
Ma Xiaoxiao asked Friday with a helpless mood: "Why do you use such a valuable thing to copy these?" These things, we all call them 'gold'. ”
"I've experimented with what you call 'gold,' and it's a thing that doesn't corrode easily, and I think it's worth using it here." Friday back.
"But many of the currencies in circulation out there are also made out of gold, don't you think it's dangerous to leave your cat here?" Surely someone will rob the grave!!!
"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I can guarantee that, please trust me once." After entering the tomb, Friday, who had already taken off his mask again, said to Ma Xiaoxiao with a very serious expression.
Ma Xiaoxiao: ...... Forget it, it's already like this, and you still care about what to do...... The deceased is deceased...... Wei Jin can only hope that there will really be this life and the next life in this world, and if she can meet cats in her next life, she will definitely make up for the missed ten years...... And the living ...... I always have to continue to take steps and keep going firmly...... Because the past means the past forever, and only by looking at tomorrow can there be real hope......
Put the cat that seemed to have just fallen into a deep sleep into the cat nest also made of gold on the gold bed, Ma Xiaoxiao stood up straight, lowered his head, silently said the last goodbye to himself and the cat, then turned his body and walked to the exit of the tomb without looking back.
"Press this down, and this place will be completely sealed." At the exit of the tomb, Friday, who had put on his mask again, said to Ma Xiaoxiao.
Nodding, Ma Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, pressed the switch with his hand, and then the stone, which weighed more than a thousand catties, completely blocked the entrance of the entire tomb.
"You go back, you don't have to accompany me, I'm fine." Back in the previous palace, Ma Xiaoxiao sat on the soft couch on which the cat once slept and said to Friday.
Presumably, Friday, who has been with the cat for more than 10 years, should not be much less sad in his heart than her, although he has always been very calm, but who knows what he really feels in his heart? So, at present, both of them really need to find a place to adjust their mood.
"Okay, I'll order someone to come and prepare food and bathing water for you in a while, and tonight, you can have a good rest." After Friday said this, he turned around and walked out of the palace.
