"How did you recognize me?" Ma Xiaoxiao stroked the cat in his arms with his hand, and asked Friday, who had taken off his armor and changed back to civilian clothes and sat on the other side of the table.
Friday didn't answer Ma Xiaoxiao's question immediately, but just took out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Ma Xiaoxiao, and these two pieces of paper were the one that Ma Xiaoxiao left a few words when he applied for a job in Mingcheng and the portrait of Friday that she handed over to Drew.
"With these two things alone, you can be sure it's me?" Ma Xiaoxiao asked after looking at the two things in his hand, putting them back on the table.
"Not sure, but the cat won't be mistaken." Moreover, even though 10 years have passed, your eyes have not changed after all, so when I look at you, I have basically determined that you are the same person I used to be, not to mention that I am ......
"What about the kid with this picture? What did you do to him? Ma Xiaoxiao then asked.
"I've released the royal city." Friday back.
"Who taught you how to write your handwriting?" When asking this question, Ma Xiaoxiao's action of stroking the cat was not only slightly aggravated.
This Friday was silent for a long time, but he still gave Ma Xiaoxiao a reply.
"They came after you were taken away."
"And where are the two of them now?" Ma Xiaoxiao stroked the cat's hand and suddenly paused.
"I don't know, they're already gone." Friday stood up, one hand behind his back, one hand holding the edge of the window, and facing out of the window.
Just when Ma Xiaoxiao wanted to ask Friday a question again, the cat suddenly jumped out of Ma Xiaoxiao's arms, trotted in the direction of the door, and then squatted on the steps of the door, screaming at the moon with a hoarse and sharp voice.
"What's wrong with it?" Although the cat's cry sounded extremely poignant, I don't know why, its piercing screaming made Ma Xiaoxiao's heart very uncomfortable.
"It's a habit it's been developing for the past 10 years, and even though you're back, it looks like it's still there." Turning around, Friday replied in a voice that was deeper than usual.
After listening to Friday's answer, Ma Xiaoxiao walked out of the palace gate, sat on the steps, and soothed the cat that was screaming at the moon with his hand.
The cat, which was being stroked by Ma Xiaoxiao, did not stop its neighing, it just leaned its head on Ma Xiaoxiao's body, and continued to scream hoarsely with its blank eyes.
"Don't cry, you can come back, it should be very happy, it did it out of habit." followed Friday, who walked out of the hall, sat on the other side of the cat, tilted his head sideways and said to Ma Xiaoxiao, who was crying again.
Friday's words of comfort did not have a corresponding result, because Ma Xiaoxiao felt that her heart hurt even more.
Oh, yes...... 10 years, for her, is as simple as a sleep, if she had a choice, she now really wishes that time could be rewind 10 years, and she is still the same orangutan before she was not modified...... 10 years...... She didn't dare to think about how many things could be changed...... Because even cats have become so old......
The time for the cat to bark this time is much shorter than usual, which is what the cat said to Ma Xiaoxiao on Friday after the cat snuggled up to Ma Xiaoxiao and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
"Thank you for taking care of it for so many years." Gently touching the cat's body, Ma Xiaoxiao said in a very soft voice to Friday, who had been sitting on the steps with her and listening to the cat's barking in the middle of the night.
"It's nothing, except for you, it has also lived and died with us, since it survived with us when it was at sea, then when you are away, of course I have to treat it well, after all, when we hugged each other to keep warm, it also contributed some heat to the two of us, so you don't have to thank me." Friday straightened his legs, leaned back, and walked back with his hands on the steps at either side of his body.
"It's not early, rest first, where do you want to sleep, tell me, I'll arrange it for you." After saying the above paragraph, Friday continued.
"Don't bother, I'll sleep with him in his house tonight." Glancing back, Ma Xiaoxiao really felt that where the cat lived now, it was more than enough to sleep the two of them.
"If I told you that the original site of this palace was once your former wooden house, would you still decide to continue sleeping here?" Friday stood up straight, looked down at the angle, and carefully observed Ma Xiaoxiao's facial expression at this time.
"You...... Will I still be locked up like before? Ma Xiaoxiao raised his head and turned his gaze to Friday.
"Hehehe...... Hahaha......" Friday first chuckled a few lowly, then put away his smile and replied: "No, 10 years have made me figure out a lot of things, so I won't be in the future." ”
"I believe in you." After Ma Xiaoxiao said this, he picked up the cat and walked towards the hall. "Oh...... By the way, I'll tell that caravan that I'm safe tomorrow morning, hey...... Forget it, I still won't bother you, I'll go over tomorrow in person. ”
"Go and rest, I've already sent someone to say hello when you carry it to wash, so you don't have to rush to report safety, and you'll be able to see that kid in a few days, as long as he passes the selection, he will become my close guard, I've seen it, his qualifications are very good, he should be selected this time." After Friday said this, he motioned to Ma Xiaoxiao to quickly hold the cat and go to rest.
"Oh...... Thank you. After Ma Xiaoxiao said this, he hugged the cat and entered the palace gate.
"Do you need me to send two maids?" Friday, who was standing on the steps outside the hall, spoke again after Ma Xiaoxiao stepped into the temple door with the cat in his arms.
"No, I don't." Ma Xiaoxiao replied, then took a step and walked towards the bedroom in the hall.
The cat's five senses are indeed not as acute as when it was in its prime, because even if Ma Xiaoxiao talked to Friday for so long, it couldn't wake it up, it only opened its eyes slightly when Ma Xiaoxiao took it into his arms and lay down with it on the soft couch, and with a mouth that had lost a few teeth, it barked hoarsely twice, and then it put its head on the side of the pillow, and buried the whole cat face in a few short strands of hair that Ma Xiaoxiao had only grown to the side of his ears, and then let out a small snoring sound again.
