It is said that rats do not have sharp eyes and rely only on the sensitive hearing of their ears. The cat knows its characteristics and quietly observes the grass to see if there is a burrow enough for the rat to get into, and if it is, if it is slow to attack, the rat will burrow into the burrow and run away, so that its efforts will be in vain.

Its eyes were around the mouse, and it had not yet groped clearly, only heard a "pop" sound, and out of nowhere a black snake rushed out of nowhere to bite the back half of the mouse's body, and the core of the mouse's mouth rolled down, making a "squeak" scream, and its head twisted weakly, and it was dying and struggling, but it was to no avail.

The flower cat was a little annoyed because its rat hunting plan had not yet been implemented, and it was in vain. It immediately calmed down, and in a hurry bit the tail of the black snake, and dragged it vigorously, perhaps the snake felt pain, and as soon as the mouth loosened the mouse, the mouse was bitten, and did not run away immediately, and of course could not run.

The cat was relieved when she saw this, and the snake slipped into the deeper grass in fear. Now the cat pounced, and easily bit the mouse that was about to escape, and the mouse's limbs moved, but the cat did not bite it, but held it, that is, to leave this live mouth, ready to return to the master's house to be disposed of by the master, so as to get rid of his own involvement.

The gray rat jumped out of the rice jar and got into a crack in the wall, that is, a burrow, which communicates with the hole in the wall base, and there is an exit to the outside, and the general mouse gets into it, and the owner cannot catch it.

At this moment, the gray rat hid under the wall, and when there was no movement in the house, it quietly poked its head out, and saw that there was no movement outside, so it crawled out and jumped up towards the mouth of the rice altar, but the mouth was covered again, so it looked for the help of its ally Hua Mao in the house, but there was no Hua Mao, and the flower cat often squatted under the table was also empty.

The gray mouse slipped up to the oil pot again, climbed up to look, but tightened the lid. He jumped off the oil pot again, and reluctantly slipped to the door, and slipped through the crack to see if the cat was outside. Suddenly, it heard footsteps, very heavy, the footsteps of people, accompanied by the sound of talking, and it turned around and got into the crack in the door, squatted in the room and pricked up its head, and listened quietly for a while, the footsteps were getting closer and closer to the door, and it slipped towards the wall.

When the door opened, it had already penetrated into the crack in the wall, but its head was still at the mouth of the cave, and it was wondering where the cat had gone.

Suddenly, the faint cry of the cat came to the ear, it wanted to climb out, but the owner was in the room, for some reason, the feet stomped on the floor, as if there was gas to vent, it was very timid to shake its body, has not dared to come out, when the owner approached the wall, it immediately drilled into the depths, quietly listened to the call of the cat, the more and more clear call, let it have the emotional impulse to climb out.

As the figure of the master walked away from the wall, it withdrew from the depths of the cavern, rested its head on the edge of the crack in the wall, and quietly peered into the room.

The cat jumped into the room through the door, and strangely enough, it approached its owner with a large mouse in its mouth. The big rat had been bitten half to death, and could only crawl slowly on the ground, and the master raised a foot and kicked at the mouse, and the mouse's limbs trembled slightly, and he could no longer move. The cat meowed, which was clearly an attitude of asking for merit and reward, as if to say: I have merit! Catch the rat who jumped into the jar and steal the rice, and put you to death.

But the master kicked the rat to death and said nothing, and the air in the room was tense. Seeing this, the gray-haired rat peeking through the crack in the wall was frightened, and it turned around and shrank in, and heard the owner angrily tell the truth: You dead cat, and you still deceived me, thinking that I don't know, you are not caught by a mouse that eats rice, I have seen a mouse that eats rice, and it is smaller than this one, and I can see clearly the bad things you have conspired with it......

The cat screamed in terror, and perhaps its owner punished it, and the gray-haired rat hid in its hole, trying to lean out to see, but did not dare to move.

Late at night, the owner fell asleep, heard the sound of snoring, and the gray haired rat that was foraging outside went into the burrow, and then crawled out of the crack in the wall of Liu Mei's house, and found that the flower cat was curled up under the dining table to sleep, the difference was that the flower cat had a slender wire around its neck, and the other end was tied to the foot of the table.

The gray mouse chirped, the flower cat soon woke up, it meowed, as if to let the gray mouse find a way to get rid of the shackles of the wire, the gray mouse bit the wire with its mouth, it was too hard, simply did not bite, and slipped straight towards the side of the rice altar, but on the lid, it could not be opened, and the tethered flower cat could no longer help.

At the moment when the gray rat bit the wire, the cat barked, and the bearded mouth grinned, as if to say: My teeth are not better than yours? I can't bite it open, can you bite it? Forget it, you'd better come up with me and think of something else. Unexpectedly, the helpless gray mouse simply left, and only jumped to the rice altar to forage for food, which was also in vain.

The cat howled again, and said to the gray mouse, if you have a way to break the wire that the master has put around my neck, I will definitely cooperate with you to lift the lid of the rice altar.

The gray rat lingered here for a while, and then crawled out through the crack in the door. The cat had been counting on the Grey-haired Mouse to figure out a solution for it, but until dawn, the Grey-haired Mouse had not returned.

In the morning, Liu Mei made breakfast, Wang Meng helped the cook, and was about to use the pot of vegetable oil, Liu Mei grabbed it, glared at him and said: This pot of vegetable oil was soiled by mice, didn't I tell you? Can't eat. Then, place the oil pot on the side of the wall, and there is not much vegetable oil in it.

Wang Meng said, since people can't eat it, let the animals eat it! He looked at the cat and asked for his wife's opinion. Liu Mei took out an empty bowl from the vegetable cabinet, picked up the oil pot and poured out half a bowl of oil. The flower cat meowed and looked at Liu Mei.

Liu Mei did not give half a bowl of oil to the flower cat to enjoy, but put it on a nearby chair, the flower cat was tied to the wire, and could only walk out of a small circle, out of reach, even if she turned around and pedaled with her back foot, she couldn't reach the half bowl of oil, just a few inches apart.

The oil was poured into the bowl, and the room was filled with a fragrance, so greedy that the flower cat smacked its mouth, and its tongue swirled around its mouth, and it licked and curled the white beard on its cheeks.

Wang Meng said that it was not for the flower cat? Why do you put it out of reach?

The flower cat will be satisfied, and when Wang Meng sympathizes with it, he looks at him and meows. Liu Mei frowned, saying that this pot of oil is what the cat wants to eat, it bites the lid of the pot with its mouth, and lets the mouse stuff its tail into it before it gets dirty, the cat deserves death for doing this, why do you sympathize with it? In terms of eating, we usually get a bowl for it at every meal, and we don't treat it badly, so why would it conspire with the rats to sneak up on that pot of vegetable oil? Although it is a brute, it is also an abominable house thief.

Wang Meng walked around the room and said In this case, what do you mean by putting this half bowl of oil on the chair?

Liu Mei pulled her husband aside and whispered for a while, but he didn't speak again. The couple went out early after eating, and the door was still closed, but it was not locked.
