Chapter 54: Showdown (1)
Tao Xianrong, who was about to knock on the door, glanced at his wife - something happened!
Tao Xianrong hurriedly "banged" and banged on the door of the study.
The old man Tao, who was sitting at the desk in the study, was so frightened by the scream that he immediately stood up.
I thought to myself - something bad happened, my son and daughter-in-law heard the voice, and I will definitely come over later.
However, as soon as Old Man Tao's thoughts passed, there was a rapid knock outside the door.
"Dad, you open the door, what's going on inside, I seem to hear Mengqi's scream."
Old Man Tao thought to himself, I also want to know what happened, but before Manman said, no matter what movement you hear, don't go into the compartment.
Here the old man Tao was hesitating whether to open the door or not, and Tao Xianrong's knocking on the door over there did not stop, mixed with the shouts of him and Liu Shujing.
"Dad open the door!"
"Dad, you open the door first, what's going on inside?"
"Dad, you let us in first."
"Dad, is Manman also in there, don't scare the child!"
The door never opened, and the knocking outside kept coming, Tao Le lay at the door of the cubicle, looked up at the door that was knocked on, and then looked at the old man Tao who was pacing back and forth.
Tao Le knew that if this door was not opened, it would also affect the inside, and if it was opened, it would also affect the inside.
Simply lifted the cat's paw and laid a soundproof barrier to cover the compartment inside.
"Grandpa, go open the door, Uncle Tao and Aunt Liu will know sooner or later." After doing all this, Tao Le simply asked Old Man Tao to open the door, and then have a showdown.
"Who? Who's here? Old Man Tao, who was still struggling with whether to open the door, suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice, and was so frightened that he hurriedly checked left and right, who broke into the study.
But there was no one else but himself and the cat lying at the door! Could it be that you have met a ghost? Or is it an auditory hallucination?
Tao Le looked at who Old Man Tao was talking to, and replied loudly, "Grandpa, it's me, Tao Le!" ”
"Tao Le? Which Tao Le? Who are you? Why did you take advantage of this time to break into my Tao family's study at night? Old Man Tao didn't react for a while, and it was his black cat talking to him.
"Grandpa, it's me, Black Cat Taole! Look at the doorway! ”
Old Man Tao subconsciously looked at the door that was still being knocked on, but there was nothing. Suddenly remembered, the voice said "Black Cat - Tao Le - " Old Man Tao felt that his brain was not working well for a moment, and the knocking and shouting that kept coming from his ears seemed to be gone at this moment, and the whole space seemed to be left with himself and the cat next to him.
Old Man Tao slowly turned around and looked at the black cat lying on his stomach at the door of the compartment. At this time, the black cat had raised its head and was looking at itself.
"Are you—talking to me?" Old Man Tao stumbled and asked. Is it scared, can you not be scared? Who can talk?
"Grandpa, don't be afraid, it's me! I'm not going to hurt everyone, I've been with you for three years, have you seen anyone I've hurt over the years? Tao Le saw that he was scared of Old Man Tao, so he quickly stood up, and did not walk towards Old Man Tao, just stood and looked at Old Man Tao.
Old Man Tao looked at the cat that seemed to have "become a sperm", and it was difficult to accept it for a while, but as he himself said, he had been with the Tao family for more than three years, if he really wanted to do something to the Tao family, why did he expose it today.
"That Lele, how can you suddenly speak?" Old Man Tao asked cautiously.
"I've always been able to speak, this Manman knows."
"What did you want to do when you came to our house?" Old Man Tao couldn't understand what could make a refined cat worry about in his own family.
"Actually, I'm here to protect Manman. There are many things that I can't tell you in detail right now, but you'll know when the time comes. You just need to know that I won't hurt anyone in the Tao family. "Tao Manman has a lot of eyes, and in the case that Tao Manman has no strength to protect himself, these exposures will only bring disaster to her.
Or the fewer people know, the better.
Old Man Tao heard that now is not the time to let himself know, and he doesn't ask more, he has lived for so long, and this bit of insight is still there.
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the more you know, the faster you'll die.
"Lele, you just said, open the door and Ah Xian and Xiao Jing come in, but before Manman said that no matter what you hear, you can't go in and disturb.
We opened the door and let Ah Xian and Xiao Jing in, they would definitely ask questions, so they would definitely make a noise to Manman. "Old Man Tao has not opened the door because he is afraid that Manman will reach the critical moment, and his son and daughter-in-law will be excited for a while and disturb inside.
"It's okay grandpa, I've already put up a soundproof barrier when they knocked on the door. Let them in!
There are some things, it's time for everyone to know, otherwise Aunt Xu's illness suddenly got better, how can it be good, how to explain this? Tao Le looked at Old Man Tao and patiently explained.
"Soundproof enchantment? And this kind of thing? "Old man Tao feels that he has lived for such a long time, it is considered that he has lived in vain, and today he has entered the talking cat, and there are people, no, there are cats who tell themselves that there is really a soundproof barrier in this world.
Old man Tao Tao thinks that from today on, someone will tell him that there are ghosts and gods in this world. Isn't he also able to casually talk about people's feudal superstitions?
After all, his own family is just a talking cat, which opens up his new perspective on the world.
"Grandpa, there are some things that you don't know, just because they don't exist. You'll get to this later, so open the door and let your uncle and aunt in, I guess there's already a lot of people gathered at the door.
After all, they knocked on the door so loudly and for so long. If they don't open the door, they will probably call the police or smash the door. Tao Le felt that after asking Tao Xianrong about Tao Xianrong's reason, Steward Li was about to organize someone to knock on the door, and hurriedly reminded Old Man Tao to open the door quickly.
When Mr. Tao heard that his son was going to smash the door, he hurriedly went to open the door. The moment he opened the door, his eyes flashed to the side quickly, and he successfully dodged his son's pounce.
Tao Xianrong, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly got up.
"Dad, why did you suddenly open the door, it hurts." Tao Xianrong asked helplessly, holding the painful part of the fall.
"Didn't you knock outside for so long, didn't you want me to open the door? How? It's opened for you, and there are complaints. ”
"It's not Dad, why didn't you come earlier and wait until we started banging on the door." Tao Xianrong felt that his father was deliberately tricking him.
"If you love to get in, if you don't enter, I'll close the door."
"Enter, enter, enter, why don't you enter, don't I fall in vain?"
"Xiaojing, come in too, what should the others do, there's nothing for you here, just go to bed early if you have nothing to do." Old Man Tao looked at the circle of servants outside, almost the servants of the entire villa were here.
This wonderful son, knocking on the door and engaging in such a big battle, I don't know who I think they are going to fight with!
