Chapter 15: The Cat Who Can Fish
Xiao Mantou wiped the rain on his face with his sleeve and asked, "Sister, why do we have to walk from this bamboo forest, this bamboo forest is too big to see at a glance, I heard that there are ghosts and beasts in it." ”
Xu Wanzhao said angrily: "We are rich now, and we have one copper coin and seven iron coins on our bodies, what if we are robbed?" We have to take the road that others dare not take to be safe, as for ghosts and beasts or something, we have bamboo cannons on our bodies to be afraid of, maybe we can fry some game to eat. ”
"Well, what my sister said makes a lot of sense." The little steamed bun looked at Xu Wanzhao, who was walking in the rain with great admiration.
It's just that the two of them don't know another version of the so-called Golden Rooster Bamboo Forest.
Legend has it that the person who broke into the bamboo forest has been lost since then, can not get out of the bamboo forest, only to hear the rooster crowing can find a way out of the bamboo forest, there have been people who have strayed into the bamboo forest for a few days and can not get out, the road is full of white bones, rotting corpses everywhere makes people feel cold. When it is desperate to see a rooster, this cockscomb is like a fire, the feather is like the scorching sun, the golden light is shining, standing on the stone and looking up to the sky and singing, then I see a golden light faintly spread under the feet to guide the direction of travel, and then go out of the bamboo forest, but this bamboo forest gets its name and says "Golden Rooster Bamboo Forest"
The sky was dark, and although the rain was much lighter, it was still dripping. The two small figures have been walking in the rain for an hour, if it weren't for the food of the crossfish before, I am afraid that they would have been comatose by the wind cold.
Walking to the depths of the bamboo forest, I saw a green river and an extremely simple grass hut, there were some dry firewood in it, Xu Wanzhao thought, it should be built by some fishing enthusiasts, although it was simple, but it could also shelter from the sun and rain, and the two decided to rest here and made a fire.
After resting for half a cup of tea, the rain finally stopped, Xu Wan looked at the green river, prepared to wash up, and opened his mouth to shout: "Steamed buns, sister is not allowed to peek in the bath." ”
The little steamed bun responded, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not that I haven't seen it." ”
Xu Wanzhao washed up, looked at the clear water of the river and plunged into it, her swimming skills in the 21st century are quite good. The weather in Xiling Town is cold, she scrubs her body with snow boiled water at most, and it is rare to come to such a warm place, and encounter the clear river water, so she naturally wants to swim to the fullest.
Xu Wanzhao's body was as light as a fish in water, and she swam a distance of 100 meters in a few breathing hours. Estimating that the time was about the same, and there were still small steamed buns waiting on the shore, Xu Wanzhao poked her head out and took a deep breath, stabilized her body and wiped the water on her face with her hands, and opened her eyes to see a scene on the shore that surprised her......
A huge black cat was sitting in a human posture on a moss-covered stone platform by the river, holding a fishing rod about two meters long in its two front paws.
"Cat......... Cat......... Fishing? Xu Wanzhao, who was shocked, was stunned in the water for a while, and looked at the big cat dumbfounded.
The big cat in front of him also stared at Xu Wanzhao, and the cat's face showed a vivid expression of surprise, seeing that Xu Wanzhao's goosebumps rose, this wouldn't be a demon who had become a spirit, right? Will it eat itself?
At the same time, the big cat who has become a fine is also thinking: "This cat master has been stationed in the Golden Rooster Bamboo Forest for decades, and he has never met a human who dares to risk death to come in, how did this female doll who looks seven or eight years old come in?" But seeing that she is brave at a young age, isn't she a hidden master? Thinking of this, the big cat decided not to act rashly, but just stared straight at Xu Wanzhao in the water, for fear that Xu Wanzhao would be plotted if he didn't pay attention.
Xu Wanzhao, who didn't dare to take a sip of the atmosphere, stared at each other with the black cat in the water for half a cup of tea, and began to mumble in his heart, did he worry too much? This cat spirit hasn't moved for a long time, maybe it's just a big cat that grows big and has a bit of spirituality?
After soaking in the water for a long time, Xu Wanzhao felt that his body was starting to get cold, don't wait for the leg cramps to be in trouble, and then saw that the big cat never moved, so he raised his head and showed a bright smile to the big cat, and then plunged into the water, struggling to swim back, and the speed of escape was almost the Olympic champion.
When the fried cat smiled at it in Xu Wanzhao, it was ready to fight, who knew that the doll had escaped? This made the big cat feel very unaccomplished, like when his cat uncle was at the peak of his skills, he was the first of the four divine beasts in the upper realm.
When she returned to the grass shed, it was already dark, and Xu Wanzhao was also relieved, thinking that the big cat with the right talent still had palpitations, and she was glad that she slipped away quickly.
The little steamed bun handed the burnt steamed bun to Xu Wanzhao: "Why did my sister wash it for so long?" ”
Xu Wanzhao took the steamed bun and just wanted to mention the matter of meeting the big cat, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed it back, thinking that it was better not to talk about it, so as not to scare the little steamed bun, thinking about waiting for dawn to leave this golden rooster bamboo forest as soon as possible, just in case.
The big cat fished fruitlessly, put away the fishing rod and prepared to go back to the nest, who knew that just arrived at the door of the nest and found that someone had robbed the magpie's nest, and there was a small acquaintance among them.
"It's you...... Big...... Big. Xu Wanzhao stammered and pointed to the big cat spirit, and 100,000 horses galloped past in his heart, this grass shed should not be the nest of this cat spirit, right? It's over, it's over, it's over, it's really sad for her to take a late life.
Seeing this uninvited cat that suddenly broke over, the little steamed bun was already trembling with fright.
Although he was extremely scared, he still stood in front of Xu Wanzhao very righteously: "Big ...... Big Cat ...... To eat...... Eat me, don't eat my sister'......"
The big cat was happy, it turned out to be two milk babies who didn't know the height of the sky, it seemed that they were careless during the day, and immediately smiled: "It's not enough to eat you, Uncle Cat, I stuffed my teeth." ”
Can you still talk? Xu Wanzhao's scalp was numb for a while, and when he saw the big cat essence during the day, the big cat essence was sitting, and he only felt that it was big, but now it seems that it is not big, it is as strong as a thin leopard, with teeth like blades, and sharp claws exuding a cold light, so it is not fierce.
Xu Wanzhao is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but she will not sit still, especially with the little steamed buns by her side, she has to keep the little steamed buns even if she fights for her life no matter what.
If you fight hard, just your little arms and legs, I am afraid that I can't help the big cat's scratch, and after careful consideration, Xu Wanzhao muttered a few words in the ear of the little steamed bun, and the little steamed bun shook his head at first and disagreed, but finally nodded reluctantly in agreement under Xu Wanzhao's cold eyes.
Xu Wanzhao cleared her throat and pretended to be bold and shouted: "Look, there is a in the sky." ”
"What? ? The big cat did look up for some reason.
At this moment, Xu Wanzhao quickly took out a firecracker and lit it, threw it at the big cat spirit, and pushed the small steamed bun: "Run." "The little steamed bun ran away.
The firecracker did not explode as expected, but was crushed by the quick reaction of the big cat spirit with a claw: "The little girl dares to tease Uncle Cat." ”
