Chapter 224: Usa's Pumpkin Car

In Usa, no one can kill a cat.

This is not only because the law of Usa strictly forbids the killing of cats, but also because certain divine and great eyes have always favored these furry creatures, giving them a transcendent status in the city.

"It is said that this law was originally introduced because of an elderly couple who liked to abuse and kill cats. On the way to the city of Usa, Xiao Xiao talked to his companions about everything he had heard:

The farmer and his wife took pleasure in killing every cat that came near his house with a trap. One year, a caravan came to Usa, and in the caravan was a little boy, an orphan, who was living with a little black cat. On the third day of the caravan's arrival, the little black cat disappeared. The boy searched for a long time but could not find it. The townspeople secretly told him about the old couple's vices. ”

The boy wept, was silent, pondered, and finally began to pray. ”

He used words that no one understood, and prayed for help from beings that no one knew. On that day, everyone saw the sky tearing, the clouds twisting, and a dark, hazy figure reflected in every corner of the city. Then all the cats in the town disappeared. ”

"It took a few days for the citizens to wander around before the cats reappeared. It's just that at this time, they have become smooth and shiny, fat and fat, and their eyes have become smart. ”

The mayor of the town went with the notary, the sheriff, and the doctor to the old farmer's house. There were no living people in the house, only two skeletons of Bai Sensen, lying in front of the fireplace, with not a trace of flesh left on the bones. ”

From then on, Uza had this non-famous law. ”

Zheng Qing listened to this little story that was a little scary, but not so scary, and he was a little bored in his heart - except for the little black cat in the story, which scared him for a second and gained the strange eyes of the witch next to him, he didn't feel any new meaning.

In contrast, the occasional pumpkin cart speeding by on the road piqued his interest even more.

"Where are we going now?" When he patiently listened to Xiao Xiao's story, he finally found an opportunity to start a new conversation.

"Uzza City Museum. The soothsayer of the Sin Hunting Team replied.

"Huh?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows: "Another museum?"

"To be precise, it's a temple dedicated to the old gods in the museum," Xiao Xiao held a notebook, turned a quill in his hand, his eyes fluttered to catch the fresh pictures left and right, and his voice was a little lazy: "...... The priests in that temple lived for a long time and knew many things. Shall we go talk to him? It doesn't hurt. ”

"Why don't you wait for the fat man and the elder to come?"

"Waiting for the hunting team to assemble? We need to get down to business...... Have you forgotten why you came to this world?"

Of course, Zheng Qing will not forget - the reason why he entered the dream realm was originally because the faceless demon who pretended to be Liu Feifei's pet snake escaped into this world? Plus the agreement between Zheng Qing and Zhu Si, and the prophecy that Mr. Wu made for him? are pulling young public-funded students to re-enter this fantasy world.

"Can those pumpkin carts be sitting?" the student changed the subject again, pointing to an orange car that had just sped past the three of them. I asked with interest.

"As long as you have dried fish. Xiao Xiao's answer was a little inexplicable.

Zheng Qing stopped and touched his gray cloth bag for a long time? Finally pulled out a handful of dried mackerel? Raised in front of the doctor: "Do you want to do such a little fish?"

Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses and glanced at him in a little surprise.

"I thought that only the fat man's watch would be stocked with food anytime and anywhere," he apparently did not expect Zheng Qingzhen to find a handful of small dried fish.

"Just in case. The young scholar tugged at the corners of his mouth and replied vaguely.

Now that you have dried fish? Naturally, there is no need to continue walking.

Xiao Xiao pinched the tail of a small dried fish? Raised in mid-air, he shouted 'meow'!

Zheng Qing couldn't help but shudder.

"What are you doing?" he dragged Jiang Yu a few steps away from the doctor.

Xiao Xiao glanced at him: "Call a taxi." ”

Before he could finish speaking, a bright yellow pumpkin cart stopped in front of the small dried fish with the sound of the wind. A furry paw poked out of the front of the car and scooped the small dried fish into its paw.

"Parking fee paid!!Dried mackerel!" the driver shouted in a lazy, slimy voice, "Where do you want to go?"

Zheng Qing looked at the pumpkin cart blankly.

The appearance of the car is not much different from the pumpkin cart in the wizarding world? Four wheels, two steering wheels in front are smaller, and two load-bearing wheels in the back are large? A carriage made of giant pumpkins with pumpkin vines hanging on top that haven't completely dried up? On the edge of the small window dug out of the melon body, how many small orange lamps are hung? It exudes a natural fragrance from the inside out.

Not quite the same? It's the pumpkin cart driver and the cart puller.

Is the pumpkin cart driver a flower cat in a hat? It has a round face, a smooth and shiny fur, and a thick tail coiled around its waist like a whip.

The cart was pulled by a few strong 'big rats'.

It is not accurate to say that it is a mouse, after all, Zheng Qing has never seen a mouse with pointed ears. It's just that these brown-furred creatures have the pointed beaks and silhouettes of rats, so let's assume they are rats.

"The last time I saw a mouse pulling a cart was last Christmas. Zheng Qing always felt that those cart pullers were a little familiar, and took a few more looks: "The pumpkin cart sent by the Qingqiu Mansion, the coachman and the cart-pulling rat sent by the underground rat clan...... Remember, those grumpy 'Christmas mouses' always wrapped their presents in their socks and threw them around? ”

Both companions ignored Zheng Qing's memories.

"They're not rats," Xiao Xiao first corrected the wizard's inappropriate wording: "This creature is called 'Zugo', it is a creature unique to the fantasy dream realm, and it belongs to the family Zugodae of magical creatures in the wizarding encyclopedia, which is a very unique series...... However, because of their appearance, many people also call them 'Charm Mouses'. ”

"Good, well, knowing that you can memorize the whole encyclopedia. Zheng Qing rolled his eyes, raised his hands, and signaled surrender.

Jiang Yu tugged at the sleeves of his robe.

"In that oak grove, the creatures watching over us must be these guys. She stared at the brown silhouettes of Zugo, her voice a little uncertain.

Zheng Qing squinted, finally knowing where the familiarity came from just now.

"The Enchanted Forest is an oak forest, and it is also the place where the Zu tribes have the highest concentration. Xiao Xiao confirmed the witch's speculation, and added, "As for these cart-pulling guys, they are the tribute of the ancestral tribes to the cats of Usa City... In normal years, cats will direct them to pull carts, and in disaster and famine years, they still have the best rations. ”
