Chapter 04 Sees the Light of Day Again
When night fell, the whole land was as black as ink, and countless stars in the night sky blinked desperately.
Zhou Feng climbed a big tree to prepare for a night's rest, and waited until dawn to look for the Terrans. Although he is now a cat, he is not willing to be lonely and yearns for a human life.
The night was deep, and the roar of wild beasts could be heard in the distance, and the song of insects could be heard nearby. Zhou Feng lay on the trunk of the tree and couldn't fall asleep, and in his mind were all memories of human times. He thought of his brothers and friends who drank and worked hard together, the girl he had a long-time crush on, and the parents who raised him.
Thinking of his parents, Zhou Feng's tears gushed out, they had worked hard to grow up, and they had endured all the hardships and hardships. Now they are old and need to take care of themselves, but he has come to another world and abandoned his relatives. I don't know if they are doing well now, whether they are sad and crying for themselves.
Zhou Feng squeezed his eyes hard, trying not to think about those sad things. He raised his eyes to the starry sky, complaining about why God had let him be reincarnated into this world while keeping his memories of the past.
Before you know it, the sky is overcast and shining, and the rising sun in the east shows a smiling face. Zhou Feng descended from the trees, and continued to the south according to the morning sun, looking for his own kind, the Terrans.
Along the way, Zhou Feng ate wild fruits when he was hungry and drank spring water when he was thirsty. Dozens of days have passed like this, and Zhou Feng has not yet walked out of Wanyuan Mountain, which can be imagined as big as this mountain.
At noon on that day, Zhou Feng was drinking water by a small stream, and the birds and small animals scattered and fled. Zhou Feng also hid in the grass with them, observing the movements around them.
Not long after, not far away came the voice of a woman talking and laughing like a silver bell. What a familiar feeling, Zhou Feng's heart was surging and excited at this time.
Three handsome girls dressed in bright colors, about sixteen or seventeen years old, were tall and delicate, exuding a natural beauty. They squatted down and picked up the stream with their white jade hands and tasted it to their heart's content, frolicking and giggling from time to time.
Zhou Feng wanted to come forward and say hello to them, but he knew that he was a cat now, and he was afraid of alarming others.
After drinking enough water from the stream, the three girls began to look around and saw nothing suspicious. They slowly faded their beautiful clothes to reveal their white skin.
Zhou Feng saw that his little heart was beating suddenly, and he hurriedly buried his head in the grass and didn't dare to take another look. How can a cat be interested in a woman?
There are constant sounds of slapstick and laughter in the stream, and this beauty of nature and man is only a feast for the eyes of the sun.
When he heard that the girls were about to leave, Zhou Feng pulled out his head buried in the grass.
The three girls were dressed and were arranging their black hair. One of the girls in pink had finished grooming and was urging the other two.
"Can the two sisters hurry up, it's too late, the master will scold us again. The voice was sweet and the words were soft, like the oriole singing softly.
"Xiao Nizi is in a hurry, let's do it. Another girl in yellow replied unhurriedly.
"Little sister, what if the master blames the two sisters. Another girl in blue smiled at the pink girl.
"Hmph, you guys pick up nice things and say that every time the master blames, you push it on me. The girl in pink pouted, as if she had been wronged in ten thousand ways.
"Okay, little sister, let's get up. After the girl in green finished grooming, she gently patted the little girl in pink twice on the face with her white hand.
The three girls packed up and walked to the shore, and Zhou Feng followed closely as if he saw hope. Because I was afraid that people would find out, I could only follow them from afar. But they didn't go far before the three girls turned into a few rays of light and disappeared.
Zhou Feng's hope suddenly came to naught, it seemed that the fairy in the sky had secretly come down to take a bath here, which reminded him of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Alas, it's a pity that I'm a cat, otherwise I'd have hidden their clothes and married a fairy wife.
No way, continue south.
For dozens of days, Zhou Feng was still in Wanyuan Mountain. Along the way, they encountered a lot of fierce birds and beasts, and they didn't take this kitten in their eyes at all, because he was not enough to fight tooth sacrifices, which was also the reason why Zhou Feng was safe and sound.
The wind was blowing gently, and Zhou Feng walked listlessly in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, a large net fell from the sky, and Zhou Feng was taken aback and struggled outward. But it was too late, the big net covered Zhou Feng to death, and he struggled desperately to no avail.
Two big men, one fat and one thin, came to Zhou Feng with a smile. They were all dressed as hunters, with coarse cloth shirts and animal robes around their waists. They carried large bows on their backs, bamboo arrows, and sharp knives pinned to their waists, looking shrewd and capable.
"This black cat looks like it can be sold for a few bucks, and our brothers didn't come in vain today. The fat man grinned.
"There are fewer and fewer people looking around Wanyuan Mountain, and there are too many fierce beasts in the mountain, we can't put our lives on the line for a little money, and this kitten is enough for us to change the pot of wine and drink." The thin man looked at Zhou Feng and showed a little joy.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Zhou Feng was also excited. Finally walked out of Wanyuan Mountain, but unfortunately fell into the hands of hunters. Hearing that they meant to sell me for wine and drink, as long as they didn't skin me and eat my flesh, I was thankful.
The hunter locked Zhou Feng in a bamboo cage, and the bamboo used to make the cage was boiled in hot oil, which was stronger than pig iron. It's a pity that it's a little small, and it's inconvenient to turn over.
The two hunters carried Zhou Feng through the mountains and forests, and in front of them were the endless plains.
After half a day of traveling, the hunter carried Zhou Feng to a quaint bazaar. The market is crowded and bustling, and it has the feeling of catching up with the temple fair in the countryside.
Zhou Feng turned around in the cage, unable to hide the joy in his heart, a heart that had been lonely for a long time was finally smoothed, and the day of mankind reappeared in front of his eyes.
The market is very lively, with all kinds of vendors displaying items for sale and shouting from time to time. There are those who sell coarse cloth, those who sell medicinal herbs, those who sell weapons, and those who sell all kinds of birds and animals.
The ancient humans in the bazaar all wore coarse cloth and coarse clothes, and very few people wore silk dresses, which may be the difference between rich and poor. These men were much taller and stout than modern people, and they were natural in appearance and simple in speech.
"How much money does this kitten have?" a big man in gray stopped in front of Zhou Feng and asked the hunter for the price.
"Ten coins. The fat hunter replied.
"It's just like this, and it's ten coins, it's too expensive. The big man shook his head.
"Big brother, this is not expensive. Now there are fewer and fewer wild things on the mountain, and you can see the muscles on its body, it must be delicious. The skinny hunter hurriedly explained.
Zhou Feng listened to it and listened to the cool air in his heart, ah, this is to sell me as game!
