Charlotte looked up at the sky, but found that the sun was setting in the west, and it was already dusk.

"Oh no, I didn't expect it to be so late. Those friends can't find me, so they must have gone back a long time ago. It's dinner time now, and my father and mother must be very anxious when they see that I haven't come home yet, maybe they've come out to look for me now. I want to hurry back home, and I can't let my parents worry. ”

At this time, the ** who went home had already made Charlotte forget the black cat she had just rescued behind her, and she quickly trotted out of the grove, leaving behind the black cat that had been by her side when she was unconscious.

As soon as she ran out of the woods, Charlotte suddenly felt her legs being hugged by a fluffy object, and she couldn't take a step anymore. She immediately looked behind her, only to find that it was the black kitten she had rescued who was holding her.

The black cat looked at Charlotte with "pitiful" eyes, as if accusing her of "ruthless" abandonment, which made Charlotte's heart move.

"Kitten, what's wrong? I've healed your wounds, and you can go home now. ”

The kitten was obviously dissatisfied with Charlotte's words, and still looked at her with the same "resentful" eyes, but her extremely slender arms were quite powerful, tightly encircling Charlotte's legs, so that she could not move a step.

"Are you homeless and want me to take you home?" asked Charlotte tentatively.

When the black cat heard this, his eyes immediately turned to joy, and he nodded obviously.

"What? This kitten actually understands what I say? In that case, why did Fang Cai not react? This is also too strange, everything that happened today seems to be unexpected, extremely strange, as if it has fallen into an evil spirit. ”

Still incredulous, Charlotte confirms to the black cat, "Are you really going to my house? ”

The black cat still nodded when he heard this, and he did not hesitate to move.

"It's... Okay. In that case, then you can come with me. But I can't guarantee that my father and mother will not agree, and if they insist on refusing, I can't force you to stay, do you understand?"

The black cat continued to repeat the same action, expressing its attitude simply and clearly.

"I don't know if my father and mother will agree to keep this kitten, but since I have promised the kitten, I will do my best to fight for the right to keep it at home. If my father and mother don't agree, I'm afraid I will inevitably have to argue with them. Alas, who told me to overflow with love, it's a big deal to be scolded by my father. ”

Thinking of this, Charlotte stopped worrying, smiled at the black cat, and said, "Okay, then let's go home together." ”

The black cat made a strange movement at this time, only to see it stretch out its right paw, and make the "palm" face up, which looked similar to the posture of shaking hands.

"You... You're going to shake my hand?" Charlotte was visibly shocked by the black cat's movements.

The black cat then bowed its head for the fourth time.

Charlotte was a little overwhelmed at first, but seeing that the black cat had been maintaining the same posture and her eyes were full of sincere emotion, she no longer hesitated, stepped forward and stretched out her right hand to clasp the black cat's paws tightly.

"Well, I will be your master from now on. ”

Charlotte had already made up her mind at the moment, no matter what

He has to keep the kitten by his side, even if he has to quarrel fiercely with his father and mother.

The moment Charlotte's right hand touched the black cat's paw, Charlotte suddenly felt that something was not quite right. She found that the spiritual power in her body began to flow uncontrollably, and flowed to the palm of her right palm autonomously, as if she was attracted by an inexplicable force.

Charlotte was shocked and hurriedly withdrew her right hand, but at this moment she found that her right hand seemed to be stuck with the claws of a black cat, and it could not be withdrawn at all.

"What's going on, I obviously saved its life, is it going to take revenge on me right now?"

As soon as the thought appeared in her mind, it was overturned by Charlotte herself in an instant.

"How can I have such an extreme idea, the kitten will definitely not hurt me. It's so spiritual, maybe it's the one who brought me back to life..."

Thinking like this, Charlotte's anxious and frightened mind immediately calmed down, and calmly faced what would happen next.

When the spiritual power in Charlotte's meridians flowed out of her body and came into contact with the black cat's claws, a black magic circle suddenly appeared under the feet of the two.

I saw that the circle was in the shape of a perfect circle, with countless unfamiliar characters at the edges, obviously not in the language of the spirit race, and in the center was a very strange pattern, which looked like two meteors were entangled.

Charlotte didn't understand the effect of this magic circle, and it was much later that she understood the true meaning behind this "hand-holding" with the black cat.

After a few moments, the circle dispersed, and the black light faded. The black cat releases Charlotte's hand, and she is finally "free".

Charlotte subconsciously checked the condition in her body, but found that not only did she not have any damage, but even her spiritual power had not lost much, and everything was as usual.

"I'm right, this kitten can't do me any harm, but what does that pattern on the ground mean? And this kitten doesn't look like a creature, so what is its origin?"

Charlotte felt a faint apprehension in her heart, and she didn't seem to know whether meeting this black cat was a blessing or a curse.

However, Charlotte, who is cheerful by nature, quickly put all this behind her, and she thought that it was better not to dwell on this kind of question that would not have a clue if she wanted to break her scalp, so as not to add to her troubles.

Charlotte then walked in the direction of the village with the black cat, but before she could take a few steps she realized that her mother had already rushed to this side.

After seeing her mother's figure, Charlotte immediately raised her arms and shouted, "Mother, I'm here." ”

Charlotte's mother's name is Rachel, a brown-haired woman who looks in her thirties, with a beautiful face, and a very simple pale green cloth dress on her body sets off a quiet and elegant temperament.

Rachel was full of anxiety at the moment, obviously worried about her daughter's safety, when she heard her daughter's voice, she was immediately overjoyed, and looked straight to the source of the voice, and soon caught Charlotte's petite figure.

She ran to Charlotte's side, and when she saw that Charlotte's clothes were so torn that she felt her heart flutter, and her pretty face became extremely serious, ready to be angry.

Charlotte meets her mother

She looked unkind, knowing that a storm was about to hit her, and her spirit couldn't help but enter a state of tension.

"You kid is so uncomfortable, how did you make yourself like this. I don't know where to go anymore, and no matter how many times I tell you, you won't listen, and you still go your own way. It's a good thing to ruin all the new clothes I just made a few days ago, and the word 'loser' is really apt to describe you. ”

Charlotte's spirit was severely affected by this angry reprimand, and she was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing that Charlotte didn't react, Rachel couldn't help but sigh, and then she came behind her daughter and muttered, "Let me see if you're hurt." ”

Rachel carefully observed the damaged part of Charlotte's clothes, that is, the vital point of the vest, and after making sure that Charlotte's body was indeed intact, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart finally let go.

"It's a blessing in misfortune that you weren't hurt, do you know that we care about you, have you ever thought about how sad your parents will be if something happens to you?"

"I know, mother, I was wrong. I promise you that you will never be playful again, and that you will always go home before dusk every day. ”

Seeing her mother's "sad" look, Charlotte immediately gave a guarantee that she could settle down.

"Okay, girl, just believe you this time, if a similar situation occurs in the future, I will definitely not spare it. Anyway, where have you been, have you gone into the woods?"

Hearing her mother's questioning, Charlotte's heart immediately "chuckled", and her mind that had just calmed down became apprehensive again, and she said: "Why did my mother know that I had gone to the woods? Is this the legendary mother-son connection? This time it seems that it is not easy to deceive, I don't know if I can fool the past." ”

"Absolutely not. My father and my master both said that I couldn't go to the woods, so how could I put myself in danger. I just went around the small hill to the east, and because I didn't look at the road properly, I accidentally tripped over a stone and fell.

Although it was fortunate that he was not injured, he damaged the new clothes that his mother had just made. I'm sorry, I'll never go that far again. ”

"You really don't play with your friends, you have to go to that kind of desolate place alone, what if you meet a robber? I really don't know what you think. But since you've already admitted your mistake, I won't pursue it, and there must not be a similar situation in the future, understand?"

"Understood, I won't get into trouble again in the future. Charlotte swore awkwardly.

"That's good. Also, you must get along well with those friends, and don't always think about 'exploring' alone, so that your personality will become withdrawn, which is definitely not a good thing. Rachel continued to teach.

"Mother, I have a good relationship with those little friends, you don't have to worry. ”

"I know that's really commendable. Your sociability seems to be far superior to the two of us, and you get along well with the children in the village. You're having fun alone on the other side of the hill, but do you know what your friends did when they realized you weren't showing up as you normally would?"
