Chapter 40: Precursor (4)
When Andy woke up, it was already dawn, and she didn't see Hu Yu, so she knew that Tuanzi still hadn't been found, she opened the door, and Hu Yu was woken up by leaning against the door, apparently asleep.
Hu Yu got up in shock, holding a kitten in his arms, but it was not a danzi, the cat in Hu Yu's arms was yellow, and before Andy could ask, he explained, "I have searched the whole forest, and there is no shadow of a danzi, miss, there are many wild cats in the forest, so I ......." He handed Andy the cat in his arms with great care.
"I'm going to come back. As he spoke, Andy threw away the cat in Hu Yu's hand, and the cat "meowed" instinctively to show its sharp claws, scratched Hu Yu's arm, and ran out of the corridor quickly with a scream. Hu Yu drew four scratched blood marks on his arm, he bit his lower lip with his teeth in pain, held back his tears and bowed his head, "Miss, I'll go and get the dumplings back for you." ”
Andy waited for a whole day, two days, she stood in the place where the window was open to the wind, trying to calm herself down, but she really couldn't ease the emotion, she seemed to be a little worried about Hu Yu, but she missed the dango more. She turned around and walked out again, walked into the corridor, anxiously waiting for Hu Yu to come back with the ball, she couldn't wait, got up and went to Alpha for help.
Alpha sent more than a dozen people to look for Tuanzi, but finally found Hu Yu in the forest, Hu Yu's lips were chapped, he was already asleep leaning against a tree, he opened his eyes tiredly when he heard the movement in the distance, looking at his expression, he was indeed overworked.
"Hu Yu, you didn't look for the cat, are you sleeping?" Andy deliberately dragged out his voice to emphasize the importance of finding the cat, "I thought you were lost like a cat, and I specially asked the prince to send someone to find it." ”
"Miss, are you worried about me?" Hu Yu looked at Andy and asked affectionately, he saw her brows and eyebrows furrowed together, and hurriedly explained, "Miss, I have been looking in the forest for two days, but I haven't found the dumplings. ”
Andy had to shake his head, they continued to search, Andy suddenly heard a sudden sound "meow" from the edge of the pool, she turned her head to see, a tawny kitten was sitting on a rock, soaking wet, it seemed that it had just crawled out of the water, was sitting there licking the hair on it, the wet tail was still casually flicking, it was really funny.
Andy tried to walk forward, but the little yellow cat stopped licking its fur, and as if it had noticed someone's movement, it immediately stood up from the stone, and there were still water droplets dripping onto the stone. It bounced back and forth between its front and back feet, allowing more water to flow on the stone, and then the vigilant Gong stood up, his head shrunk, his tail stood up like a saber, and his round pupils stared at Andy who was walking towards her, and his whole body was armed with a posture of intending to run away at any time.
Andy walked towards it unhurriedly with a smile on her face, she slowly crouched down and called, "Don't be afraid, you're soaking wet, let me help you, okay?"
The more Andy walked in, the higher the meow leaned up, its eyes swept around like electricity, its amber eyes stared straight at Andy, and when Andy stretched out his hand, it turned and ran forward, into the secret woods. Andy wanted to chase after him, but the little yellow cat had already run away.
Andy bare his mouth in frustration, got up and said to himself, "If you don't run, I'll take you home, if you can find the danzi, you two will have company, how good, it's a pity, the danzi doesn't know where to go?"
On the way back, Alpha tells Andy, "Maybe your ball isn't in the forest, besides, cats usually find a comfortable place to sleep during the day and only go out to catch mice at night, or they don't run too far near the house of the domestic cat." ”
"Really?" Andy asked in surprise, she knew this time, and for several nights in a row, when it was dark, she and Hu Yu went out together to look for the dango in the forest, in the backyard of the castle, where she had grabbed the dango. They also held candles, hot wax oil dripping down their knuckles, and with each step, the shadows of the grass moved, as if the shadows of the trees were turning their heads to look at them.
"The forest at night is so gloomy. Andy had a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, Miss, I'm here!" Hu Yu said.
"Hurry up, you lazy pig. Andy amplified his voice.
"Yes, miss. Hu Yu quickened her pace and looked around, the candle in her hand burned out, the forest was as dark as ever, she heard the faint squeak of mice, and saw a pair of small glowing eyes at the edge of the range of the light. She is not afraid of mice, but she is afraid of other unknown things. There are a lot of cats in the forest, and Andy catches several, but none of them are dumplings.
"Quickly put out the candle, if you really find the dango, it will see us and run. Andy ordered Hu Yu.
"In the dark of night, the cat's eyes will see more clearly, Miss. Hu Yu explained.
"Really?" Andy asked softly as he walked.
"In strong light, the pupil of a cat's eyes can shrink into a line, while in the dark, a cat's pupil can open round and large. "I've seen cats look at them carefully, and their daytime eyesight is not as good as that of humans, and when the light reflects during the day, the black eye-like tissue in their eyes will turn into a line, and only at night will the cat's retina expand and see things more clearly at night." ”
"Really?" asked Andy incredulously, when she suddenly saw something shining from two bright eyes in the distance, eyes open like plates, staring intently ahead, and every movement of their feet, it was all black, its tail was up, and its mouth made a "meow" sound like a ball.
"Dango ....... Andy changed her ways, under the light of the candlelight, she saw her in the dust on the ground, rolling over and over, making a faint sound in her mouth, Andy slowly approached it, it didn't run, it seemed to be waiting for Andy to get closer, Andy squatted down and picked her up, lazy in his arms, "Tuanzi, where have you been these days, I almost miss you." ”
