Chapter 148: This Cat Can Talk
A group of people came to her.
Sanhua Niangniang has long been used to it.
Because she is good-looking, many people will look at her when she walks on the street, and some people even come to tease her. Some time ago, I was catching rats in Changjing, and every day I caught rats neatly arranged in a row, and the people in those people's families would also stare at her in a circle like this, and their mouths were amazed, which also made her feel a little proud.
At this time, I saw a group of servants getting out of the way, and a young man walked out from behind, and he also looked down at the three-flowered cat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's really beautiful, and the spirit is extraordinary!"
"The villain was also shocked when he first saw it."
"Let Me Touch ......"
The young man crouched down, his eyes shining, and reached out to touch the cat.
The three-flowered cat leaned back, but did not touch it.
But it's just a little bit closer.
The young man stretched his hand out again.
The three-flowered cat took two steps back, just the same distance as he had gone forward, but still did not touch it.
It's still just a little bit close.
The young man smiled.
"Interesting."
"Cats are arrogant by nature, Lang Jun is not familiar with it, and it is normal that he can't touch it." Steward Liu said beside him, "The villain sees that this cat is bold and not afraid of people, feed it some meat, maybe you can touch it." ”
"Get the meat!"
Immediately, a servant went to the kitchen to fetch meat.
After a while, the young man held a few pieces of meat in his hand and stretched out to the cat with a kind smile on his face:
"Let's eat~"
The three-flowered cat was licking its paws and thinking about it, waiting for the night to come, but when she heard this, she only raised her head, stared at him suspiciously, and gradually tilted her head to the side, but she didn't look at the meat slices.
"This ......"
The young man looked at the butler behind him.
"Cats love fish."
"Fetch the fish!"
The meat on his hands was replaced with fish.
The cat remained unmoved.
"Hey ......"
The young man seemed to have a headache and some impatience.
When Steward Liu saw it, he hurriedly gave a look to the subordinates around him, and a group of subordinates also immediately understood, and they moved one after another, some went around behind the cat, and some blocked both sides.
Interestingly, the cat was originally leisurely and looked like she was not vigilant, but when the next person behind her made a move, she seemed to have eyes behind her back, and instantly jumped to the side, avoiding the hands of the next person. Immediately, another subordinate on the left and right rushed towards her, but she was also easily dodged by two consecutive jumps.
A group of people made a mess in the garden.
pounced on it, but let alone caught the cat, and didn't even touch the cat's hair.
After a while, a group of people stood under a tree, exhausted and panting, but the cat on the branch was leisurely, licking its fur and staring down at them.
The cat didn't perceive much malice in it, only that the group of people was teasing her. In the process of growing up cats from childhood to adulthood, they have long been accustomed to people teasing cats without respect for them or at any courtesy. At this time, the cat lying on the branch was only confused, because these people had invited her to catch rats, and since Changjing caught rats, no adult had ever chased her except for the children of other people's houses.
"Forget it, Lang Jun, don't worry."
Steward Liu said to the young man, and then led him to the side, and when he was far away, he asked:
"I wonder what Lang Jun thinks of this cat?"
"The posture and appearance are all beautiful, especially the eyes, full of spirituality, agile and active, do not like to hurt people, and are worthy of the god cat in Uncle Liu's mouth." "It's just not easy to catch." ”
"Shhhh
"What's wrong?"
"That cat is quite spiritual, it seems to be able to understand human speech, and the cat's ears are smart, and the villain is afraid that it will listen."
"Can you understand human language?"
"When the Taoist sent it over before, the villain saw the Taoist talking to it with his own eyes, but whether he can really understand human speech, or whether the Taoist is playing tricks, the villain doesn't know, you can think of some ways to try how spiritual it is tonight." Steward Liu said, "But according to rumors, it can catch more than 40 rats in a day, I'm afraid it is really spiritual." ”
"That's really a cat!"
"And ......"
"How?"
"That Taoist seems to be a cultivator, originally practiced in a small Taoist temple in Lingquan County, Yizhou, in addition to raising this cat, catching rats for people, but also taking some work to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons. The villain thinks that I am afraid that there are really some Taoism, but the depth of Taoism is shallow, so I don't know. Steward Liu said as he quietly glanced at the young man.
"It's really right to ask Uncle Liu to go in person."
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
"But even if you are a cultivator, you have some Taoism, do you dare to be presumptuous in front of my Taiwei Mansion?" The young man laughed, "There are so many masters in the Gathering Immortal Mansion, who has made such a big wave?" ”
"This nature, this nature......"
"But it's not a good idea to overdo it."
"Lang Jun is wise!"
The butler breathed a sigh of relief.
Although his old master is a captain of the dynasty, there are few lieutenants in Dayan who have real power, and now he is old and in poor health. The Lang Jun in front of him is the old master's son, it is inevitable that he will be pampered, the folk reputation is not good, and now the old master is not long, but Lang Jun is still young, and he only has a small idle official position in Changjing, and the future of the family is very worrying.
Fortunately, today's queen loves cats like her life, and she is a relative of the Chang family, so now it is an opportunity.
I'm afraid that this Lang Jun will act recklessly.
Now it seems that although Lang Jun has no ink on his chest, he is not a stupid and stupid person.
"But in any case, this cat has to be dedicated to my cousin." The young man turned to the butler, "Say something nice to the gentleman, don't be stingy, give more money." ”
"Before, the villain was ready to give two hundred taels, which was already a sky-high price, but then when I saw this cat and the person, I felt that it was still less. gave him five hundred taels of silver, a county magistrate for ten years, in exchange for a cat that was already used to make money, I think he would not refuse. ”
"Don't be stingy with this money, give a thousand taels." The young man said, "If he still doesn't want to, he can give more, if he is insatiable, it will be up to you, Uncle Liu." ”
"The villain understands."
"If you please your cousin, you will be rewarded."
"Thank you Lang Jun first!"
The housekeeper bowed again and again, no matter what he thought in his heart, the posture of the current person and the subordinate person should naturally be sufficient.
The young man walked back and stood under the tree, looking at the cat in the tree, and the more he looked at it, the more he was amazed, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
It was getting dark.
The cat was sensitive and sluggish, stared at them for a while, and then came down from the tree and went to work.
……
Early the next morning.
The master and servant walked through the garden, one in front of the other and one in the other.
"Uncle Liu caught that cat?"
"Back to Lang Jun, not for the time being, but don't worry, the villain already has a way, I think Lang Jun will be a little interested."
"Oh?"
"The villain tried it last night, and the cat really understands people." Steward Liu respectfully followed beside him, "Last night the cat was catching mice in the garden, the villain tried to say something to it, there were many mice inside, she looked at the villain and ran inside, and then there were mice outside to scare people, and the villain said to it, it immediately ran to the outside, you say that God is not magical?" ”
"Could it be that you can't become a sperm?"
"It's hard to say, but are there still few things in Changjing Chengjing?"
"What do you mean......"
The two looked at each other, but neither dared to say more.
Walking to the middle of the garden, there were already some people gathered here, as if they were looking at the strangeness.
Seeing the arrival of the master and the housekeeper, the onlookers all moved out of the way.
When the two of them went in to take a look, they were also surprised.
Two rows of rats, at least more than twenty.
Each row is the same length, the same number of mice, neatly arranged, and each rat has the same head, tail, and face orientation.
Even the rats are arranged according to their size.
"God!"
The young man couldn't help but marvel, and whispered, "If you tell the queen's cousin about this, I'm afraid it will cause her old man to be amazed." ”
"Lang Jun ......"
"Hmm."
The young man turned to look at him.
"Understood!"
Steward Liu immediately understood, nodded, and walked forward, respectfully said to Sanhua Cat: "Sanhua Niangniang, that's the case, there is a room over there, there is a mouse running around, although Sanhua Niangniang has caught a lot, please run again, catch it together, let's give Sanhua Niangniang some more money, how about it?" ”
"Meow!"
This is also something that Sanhua Niangniang often encounters.
In order to make money, generally when catching rats for others, if the owner asks for anything and says where to start, as long as he tells her, she hears it, and she will do it.
"This way, please!"
The housekeeper made a gesture of please.
The three-flowered cat followed him and entered a room.
But when she arrived in the house, she looked left and right, sniffed, but found no trace of the mouse, and when she turned around in confusion, she suddenly felt that the light at the door was dim, and when she looked up, there were many people standing at the door.
The butler at the head was still the butler, full of apologies, and said:
"I'm sorry Sanhua Niangniang, since you already have spirituality, I don't want to be embarrassed, but your master sold you to us for a thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels, even many rich people can't earn so much money in their lifetime. In short, you will be our cat in the future, but we will not treat you badly, but invite you to live with the queen in the palace, enjoy glory and wealth, fine clothes and fine food. ”
At the same time, several family members entered the house.
"Brush!"
Sanhua Cat showed a vigilant look, instantly turned into a shadow and ran to the side, and went directly to the wall, ran a few steps on the wall, and jumped onto the beam of the house at once.
A group of housekeepers raised their heads again, their faces sluggish.
I saw the cat staring down at them, and the vigilance in his eyes reached the highest, and he actually spoke:
"Nonsense!"
The voice is clear, but unmistakable.
Whether it was the housekeeper below, the housekeeper, or the young man watching at the door, they were all stunned when they heard this, and then their eyes widened, and they were frightened.
Who would have thought......
This cat can talk!
