This pet market is huge, and there is no end in sight, and it is all selling cats and dogs.

Liu Yuxiao took us around the crowd, looking down at the cat from time to time, as if he wanted to buy a cat.

But looking at it, I didn't like it, in the process, I found a strange thing, it seems that he cares about the cat's feet very much, every time he looks, he lifts the cat's feet to look left and right, but every time he looks at it, he keeps shaking his head, and the excitement when he first comes in is slowly fading.

In a blink of an eye, after looking at it for a long time, I didn't like one, Brother Hao was a little impatient, and couldn't help muttering next to me: "What kind of cat is this kid going to buy?" With such a big market and so many cats, none of them have taken a fancy to them? ”

I don't know what kind of medicine Liu Yuxiao sells in the gourd today, but I feel that it should be related to last night's incident, Dahua was bitten to death by a rat, which stimulated him a lot, and he wouldn't turn the page so easily.

Just thinking about it, he saw Liu Yuxiao squatting in front of a stall selling cats, looking down at a cat, and in his eyes, the light that had been dimmed before lit up again.

The cat that Liu Yu was staring at with a smile was not good-looking, a very ordinary tiger skin cat, and one foot looked like it had been burned by fire, which looked very uncoordinated and not good-looking at all.

But seeing Liu Yuxiao raise the cat's anxious feet, look at it again and again, raise his head to look at the boss and ask, "How much is this cat?" "I was very surprised, I thought to myself, what kind of eyesight, this cat is smaller than the cats I have seen before, and it looks ugly, and there is nothing outstanding about it. turned his head to talk to Brother Hao, but found that Brother Hao was also staring at the cat, his eyes shining.

I felt strange in my heart, and touched Brother Hao with my arm, Brother Hao came back to his senses, didn't speak, and smiled at Liu Yu, meaning to let me continue to watch.

As soon as the boss saw that someone was asking about his cat, he looked at us, then at the cat and said, "This cat, a fixed price, two thousand!" I almost jumped up when I heard this, and I couldn't help shouting: "Boss, you are not kind, you dare to ask for two thousand for this cat, you look at this cat is disabled!" ”

The boss grinned and said: "You can't say that, no one forces you to buy this business, right, if you think it's expensive, you can't buy it!" ”

I couldn't say a word about this sentence, I was about to persuade Liu Yuxiao to forget it, but I saw this Liu Yuxiao pick up the cat and throw it on the eaves, and the cat actually grabbed the eaves with one foot and hung there.

Seeing this, Liu Yuxiao turned to the boss and said, "Okay, I want this cat!" So saying, he stood up and took out the money, and handed the boss twenty brand-new old men's heads.

I tried to persuade him, but Brother Hao took my hand and motioned for me not to speak. I turned my face to look at Brother Hao, and felt that Brother Hao's performance today was also very strange, and he was like two people in peace.

Liu Yuxiao paid the money, picked up the cat and prepared to leave. I heard the boss smile and said to him: "Little brother has vision, you don't lose money buying this cat!" Liu Yu paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the boss, who had a smile in his eyes, as if he had a deep meaning.

Liu Yuxiao didn't speak, turned around and left with the cat, leaving only a cool back.

When he got to the car, Liu Yuxiao took the cat in his hand and looked left and right, and suddenly turned around and said, "I'm not mistaken, right?" I thought I was talking to me, but I was wondering what he meant, only to find out that he was looking at Brother Hao and asking.

"You read that right, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the legendary Scorched Foot Tiger!" Liu Yuxiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I feel different when I look at this cat, my grandfather and uncle like to raise cats, I have heard them talk about this scorched tiger." ”

Brother Hao took over and said: "I heard that this kind of cat catching mice is particularly powerful, and there were people who watched the warehouse in the past to look at the warehouse, and there would be no rats if there was it." ”

I was surprised when I heard it, and I hid it deeply, it turned out that these two people were masters of phase cats, and I had to let me speak, so I knew it.

I raised my eyebrows and teased, "Brother Hao, why didn't you know that you still had the ability to be a cat?" ”

Brother Hao smiled, took out a cigarette, looked at Liu Yuxiao, Liu Yuxiao waved his hand, Brother Hao handed me a cigarette, lit one himself and said: "I don't have that ability, but I have seen such a record in a book before, just now I saw Brother Liu staring at the cat, and suddenly remembered that there was such a record, thinking that it would not be a Jiaojiao tiger." In this way, there must be no doubt. ”

Liu Yuxiao nodded, and Brother Hao asked with a puzzled face: "This cat is also good at catching mice, and I haven't heard of anything else that is unusual, and now there are not so many mice, although this scorched tiger is rare, but it is useless for ordinary people to raise it", and looked at Liu Yu with a smile and said, "Brother, you have a rat infestation at home?" ”

Liu Yuxiao sat in front and didn't move, pretending to be very normal and said: "Someone in the family likes it, buy it back and honor the elders, let's go eat something, and then send you back." ”

Turning east and west, Liu Yuxiao found a quiet restaurant, ordered a few local home-cooked dishes in Nanjing, and Brother Hao shouted that he wanted to eat salted duck.

Although this restaurant is not big, but the taste of the dishes is first-class, a salted duck is salty and delicious, not fat or greasy, Liu Yuxiao and I just ate two bites casually, most of the plate of duck went into Brother Hao's stomach, in respect for food, Brother Hao's attitude has always been better than most people.

After eating, Liu Yuxiao sent us back to the hotel, and I watched TV in my room for an afternoon, so depressed that I couldn't do it.

I finally stayed up until the evening, I came to the door of Huayunyan Hotel early and waited, standing on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette while waiting for Liu Yuxiao to laugh.

A few cars were parked on the side of the road, there was a non-motorized road, and at this time I saw a traffic police officer coming over, and it seemed that these cars were going to be ticketed again.

When the traffic police posted to the third car, they saw the window rolled down, and there were people talking to the traffic police, and then they started the car to leave.

The car drove away slowly, and I watched the car go away, and the license plate on the back of the car, Su A7X3T5.

The license plate seems to be a little familiar, just thinking about it, someone patted me from behind, I turned around and looked, it was Liu Yuxiao, he beckoned me to follow, I had to withdraw my gaze, thinking that there was something to do tonight, and quickly followed.

When we arrived at the courtyard of the hexagonal well, we all got out of the car gently, and Lao Sun and Lao Qian were already waiting in the yard.

Liu Yuxiao also took down the scorched foot tiger that he had just bought during the day from the car, the cat had not been fed during the day, and he was hungry and screamed.

Liu Yuxiao asked the door to hold at the door, pushed the door open a crack and threw the scorched tiger in, and the house has now become a rat's nest. The cat was very fierce, and when we went in, we kept pounceing on it, and when we closed the door, we heard the rats in the house being chased.

After about half an hour, the sound in the room gradually calmed down, we slowly pushed the door open, Liu Yuxiao flashed in first, looked at it and beckoned to us, and we all rushed in.

When I entered the house, I saw dead rats all over the ground, estimated to be hundreds, and then I saw the scorched tiger, squatting on the side of the bed, with a mouse in his mouth and swallowing it in his stomach.

Seeing us come in, he called at us as if he was inviting merit, but I didn't expect this cat to be so powerful, and we were all relieved.

Lao Sun and Lao Qian turned around and went to the car to get the bag, and we used shovels and shovels to put the dead rats into the bags, and there were two sacks, and when I loaded them, I found that the mice in this hole were really big, and some of them were like kittens, and I didn't know what they ate to grow so big.

Turning around, we carried two sacks and put them in the yard first, everyone stood straight in the yard, smoked and drank some water, Liu Yu smiled and didn't smoke, turned around and entered the house again. We were talking quietly outside, smoking cigarettes, and suddenly we heard Liu Yu laughing in the house, "Huh, and then I saw him run out and look around in the yard, so I asked him what was wrong?" He looked at us and asked, "What about the cat?!" ”

We all looked around, but we didn't see it, and Uncle Changming said with a puzzled face: "It should still be in the house, right?" ”

Liu Yuxiao shook his head, his brows furrowed, "I didn't see it."

We all went into the house and started to look for it, and I vaguely remembered that the scorched tiger was by the bed, so I walked to the side of the bed and leaned over to look, but there was no one, and I didn't know where to run.

Uncle Changming had something in his heart, and he didn't find it after looking for a long time, and he was a little impatient, so he urged: "Don't worry about the cat, let's hurry up and work, and look for it slowly."

With that, we asked Lao Sun and Lao Qian to hurry down to the ground, and we also began to clean up the rest of the house.

Liu Yuxiao originally wanted to say something, but when he saw his father speak, he swallowed back the words and began to help clean them up.

Lao Sun and Lao Qian, pick up the guy and get under the bed. Others were also cleaning up other debris on the ground.

When I came to the back of the door, I found that the quilt behind the door was all rotten, and there were many scratches and bite marks on the iron door. Among these traces, I suddenly found that one trace was particularly obvious, deeper than the others, and I couldn't help but feel shocked.

The rats here are so scary that if we had stayed in the house before, we would have lost our skin.

I was in a daze, and the two old guys, Lao Sun and Lao Qian, suddenly came out from under the bed as if they had seen ghosts, their faces full of horror.

He didn't say anything, pulled us and ran out.

When they arrived at the door, the two old men hurriedly closed the door, and the old grandson was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Uncle Changming hurriedly helped the two old guys into the car, closed the car door, and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" ”

Old Qian trembled and said, "Cat! , the cat is below! ”

Liu Yu smiled when he heard this, immediately raised his head, and asked earnestly, "What's wrong with the cat?" ”

The two old men did not speak, but gasped for breath, as if they were still palpitating.

I looked at the two of them, my heart was inexplicably nervous, and I vaguely felt that something must have happened, these two people are old-fashioned, at first glance, they are people who often eat this bowl of rice, I don't know how many strange things I have seen at such an old age, I really can't think of anything that can scare them so much.

At this time, Lao Sun shook his hand and lit a cigarette, but he couldn't light it, I looked at it and handed the fire up, lit his cigarette, Lao Sun looked at me gratefully, patted the back of my hand gently, took a deep breath, spit out a puff of smoke, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The cat is dead, it was bitten to death below, and its intestines are exposed!" ”

Lao Sun's voice sounded a little scared.

Uncle Changming asked him tentatively, "Did you see what was bitten?" ”

Lao Sun then said in a trembling voice: "You don't believe it, I haven't seen my old man live so much, it's a mouse, a big mouse, bigger than that cat!" ”

We were all surprised when we heard it, I didn't expect there to be this kind of thing down there, I remembered the traces I saw behind the door just now, it seems that this thing was left, no wonder I couldn't find the Scorched Foot Tiger everywhere, it turned out to be dead in the hole below.

There was silence in the car, no one spoke, and I didn't know what to do next.
