Chapter 45: The Long-tailed Cat
As the evening approached, the sky turned a dull orange.
Brother Yong and a few other children saw Li Chen again.
Unlike during the day, Li Chen was soaked all over his body at this time, and many places were covered with mud after the rain, as well as many fist prints and footprints.
These kids knew what was going on at a glance.
His body was dirty, his face was dirty, but his eyes were bright.
Carefully handing the ball in his arms to Brother Yong, Li Chen was as easy as completing the task, he looked at them happily and expectantly, "Can I join the team?"
Brother Yong looked at Li Chen's innocent eyes, turned his head a little uncomfortably, and then he found that these partners behind him were lowering their heads at this time, and several people secretly looked at him and shook their heads at him.
He immediately understood what these people meant.
Raising his head to look at Li Chen, Brother Yong shook his head, "We can't let you join our team. ”
"Why?!"
"My mother won't let me play with fools, and neither do they. ”
"I'm not stupid!" Li Chen scratched his head.
Brother Yong shook his head, turned around and left with the other children.
Li Chen watched them leave blankly.
When he came to a street corner, Li Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as soon as he sat down.
It feels so good to rest.
The muddy and damp feeling on his body made him feel a little uncomfortable, and his stomach was rumbling at this time, but Li Chen couldn't do anything, so he could only endure it for the time being.
Night falls, stars loom, and the moon hangs high.
Li Chen stared blankly at the starry sky above his head, always feeling a sense of familiarity.
He seemed to have seen this scene somewhere, and the starry sky was more beautiful than the starry sky in front of him, especially the moon, which was countless times larger than the one in front of him
And also
At that time, there should still be someone to watch the moon with him, it seems to be a very important memory.
But he forgot about it.
A burst of exhaustion came, Li Chen couldn't help but feel sleepy and fell asleep.
Early the next morning.
Bright dew drooped from the blades of grass and fell to the ground and turned into countless pearls. A big hand fell from the sky and smashed these pearls to pieces.
Li Chen covered the light in front of him with one hand, and supported his body with one hand on the ground.
It's dawn.
Barely standing up, Li Chen felt a little weak in his body.
Coo-goo-goo
The stomach is also protesting, and louder than yesterday's protest.
Hungry. Li Chen thought to himself.
Walking on the street, Li Chen looked left and right, trying to find something to eat that would keep his stomach from screaming.
At this time, there were already many pedestrians on the street walking to buy vegetables, all of them smiling, but when they saw him as a beggar, they all showed expressions of disgust.
Bad luck!
Li Chen didn't notice their expressions, he was looking for the target as he walked, and after walking like this for a while, he suddenly smelled a very fragrant smell.
The protest in his stomach boiled even more, and Li Chen drifted over like a ghost along the aroma, and finally came to a steamed bun shop.
The steamed bun shop is an ordinary steamed bun shop, and the steamed bun master is also an ordinary steamed bun master, so the steamed buns he makes are naturally ordinary steamed buns, so the extraordinary aroma of Li Chen is just an illusion of him, a hungry person.
Ordinary people naturally don't feel much, but this is enough for Li Chen.
He stood in front of the bun shop, looked at the buns in the cage drawer in front of him and swallowed hard.
He reached out to grab one.
syllable
What resembled a fly swatter slapped on his hand.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!" The boss of the bun was a tall and thin man, and he looked at Li Chen with a look of disgust, "Is this what you can do indiscriminately, stinky beggar?"
"I'm hungry"
"Mind my, do you have any money, if you don't have money, get out of here, go and eat dirt!" After speaking, he didn't feel that it was enough, the boss of the bun looked at him with disgust, thought about it, and moved the cage drawer and put it behind him.
"!"
Li Chen glanced at the bun cage drawer, swallowed his saliva and left silently.
"It's really bad luck to meet a beggar in the morning" Seeing Li Chen leave, the owner of the bun shop scolded.
He turned around and was about to put the cage back in its place, but as soon as he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
I saw that all the buns in the cage drawer had disappeared!
"Where's my bun!?"
Li Chen walked on the street, looking at the fragrant food on both sides of the street, and his stomach became more and more hungry.
But he didn't ask them anymore, not because he felt ashamed to do so, but because he simply felt that all the merchants who sold food should be like the man just now, who needed something called 'money' in order to get food.
He didn't have any money, so he consciously didn't buy it.
"What is money?" Li Chen looked at the two rings in his hand and wondered.
Walking, walking, Li Chen became more and more hungry alone, and became even more silent.
"Meow"
A voice reached Li Chen's ears, he was stunned, looked up, and found that a dirty little yellow orange cat was standing in front of him at some point.
"Meow," the little orange cat barked at him sweetly.
Li Chen tilted his head and glanced at it, vaguely feeling as if he had seen it there, and then
He bypassed it and walked on.
Hungry, hungry, now Li Chen doesn't want to think about things that he can't remember, it's important to find something to eat first.
The little orange cat also magically followed him when he walked, and always walked in front of him to block him.
After being blocked a few times, Li Chen couldn't stand still, he squatted down and looked at it and wondered, "What are you going to do?"
The little orange cat once again showed the magic, it raised its paw and pointed in the other direction, and then made a gesture to go there.
Li Chen stayed for two seconds, raised his right hand to it, and made a saluting motion, "Farewell!"
Little Orange Cat: ""
Li Chen walked into the distance again, and the little orange cat naturally stopped him many times again, and after many 'negotiations', Li Chen finally understood what the little orange cat meant.
It's for him to go with it.
What is this kitten going to do?
Although he was hungry, in order not to let the little orange cat continue to annoy him, he had to follow the little orange cat to see where it was going to take him?
Going around all the way, Li Chen finally came to an abandoned yard, and not long after he walked into this yard, his sensitive nose told him that this yard
There are buns!
Li Chen was excited.
Continuing to follow the little orange cat, the two of them finally came to the door of a dilapidated room, where he saw two orange cats of the same breed, one big and one small, and the two little orange cats were lying on the threshold eating the buns he had just seen and so on!
Why do these two little orange cats have such long tails?
He turned his head to look, and was suddenly surprised to find that the little orange cat that brought him here shook its body, and the tail behind it also magically became longer.
Is this a monster? Li Chen was confused.
In a moment of confusion, I saw the three long-tailed little orange cats take out three large bags of buns wrapped in leather paper from the room behind them, and it seems that there are at least dozens of them
Li Chen swallowed his saliva, decisively abandoned the confusion and doubts in his heart, and ate the buns with the three little orange cats.
It smells so good!
