Chapter 57 Cat Trainer
He thought this thing was just a big mouse, how big could a mouse be? But the big guy in front of him really frightened him, it was as tall and short as a 'adult' person, or rather, it was originally a person, because don't look at the long sharp-beaked monkey gills of this mouse, and there are a few long whiskers at the corners of its mouth, but it has hands and feet, and its limbs are exactly like a human, and it can also stand up like a human.
It smelled of foul odor all over its body, and its rat skin was full of wrinkles, and it was squatting on the ground with its two front paws holding its lower limbs and knees, shivering. It is destined to die tonight, either under the sharp claws of the Nine Lives Cat, or it is a delicacy in the belly of the little fox fairy.
It was completely paralyzed, and even Ma Chengfeng ran past it without realizing it, just trembling at the two predators on the left and right, not daring to make any movement.
Meow ...... Meow ...... The cat's big tail kept slapping the ground, 'pressing' its prey step by step. Cats are born with a penchant for rats, whether they are domestic cats, feral cats, or nine-life cats. When he saw such a big mouse, he naturally forgot the order given to it by his master, and he had already forgotten Chang Xiaoman to the clouds. But today, it's not so easy to catch this prey. The fox fairy will not let go of the big mouse!
"Childe, you go back to the house first, and 'hand' it over to me here!" The little fox fairy didn't want his master to see his bloody and murderous side, so he deliberately pushed Ma Chengfeng away.
"Can you do it?"
"Don't worry, at least I'm ready to eat this delicious tonight!" The little fox fairy bars smacked her mouth, and her little tongue was slightly **** lips. In the moonlight, the four little tiger teeth flashed with cold light.
When Ma Chengfeng returned to the house, Chang Xiaoman buried himself in the quilt on the kang, pouting his buttocks and shivering at them.
"Don't come to me, cat! Don't come to me! She muttered quietly, thinking that the Nine Lives Cat had entered the 'door'.
Ma Chengfeng sat on the edge of the kang, lifted the quilt and looked inside. "Aren't you afraid of suffocation?"
"You're scared the hell out of me! I thought it was the Nine Lives Cat! Leave me alone, I won't be out of the bed tonight anyway! ”
"Senior sister, let's honestly 'hand' over, how did you get into it?" Ma Chengfeng interrogated her.
A few days ago, the school had a winter vacation, and Chang Xiaoman and her good sister Chu Xiangyun went back to her hometown, which is a small county in Hunan Province, called Lingzhou. The population of this small place in Lingzhou is only hundreds of thousands, and the outside of the city is surrounded by mountains. There are two treasures in Lingzhou, one is called cat ears and the other is cat! Yes, that's right, it's cute cats. In ancient times, Lingzhou City was also called Cat City.
I heard that hundreds of years ago, Lingzhou City was full of cats, all breeds of cats, and the common people also loved to raise cats, so whether it was a domestic cat or a wild cat, they could not starve to death. So far in Lingzhou City, there is a cat fairy temple in the east of the city. This cat fairy temple is even more vigorous than the incense in the large and small temples in the city, and the pilgrims are endless, asking for everything, but they just don't know if the spirit is not spiritual.
The belief in cat fairies has been passed down in Lingzhou for thousands of years, so naturally it is not for nothing. Legend has it that in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, a plague broke out in the city, and tens of thousands of people died, and dead bodies could be seen everywhere in the city. The plague spread out of control, and in order to stop the spread of the plague, the imperial court even ordered the city 'gate' to be closed and the whole city to be blocked. and all the tens of thousands of people in the city will starve to death.
Later, it was a golden-tailed tiger cat with a group of cats and grandchildren who carried the mysterious 'medicine' herb in their mouths and gave it to the people from door to door, which saved hundreds of lives. Later, there was a cat fairy temple in Lingzhou City that burned incense for thousands of years.
It is said that after Chang Xiaoman arrived in Lingzhou, he also followed the customs of the villagers and went with Chu Xiangyun to worship the Cat Immortal Temple.
After the two came out of the cat fairy temple, they met a cat keeper, and the cat keeper blocked her way and looked at her in surprise, Chang Xiaoman was uncomfortable.
He said that the girl knows how to worship the moon?
"I don't know what you're talking about?" Chang Xiaoman felt that this cat trainer was a little strange, especially the skinny cat squatting beside him, the cat squinted lazily, and a thief light appeared in her eyes, which was seen from her head all the time, and she couldn't stop whining in her throat.
This cat trainer is 'quite famous', and the cats he trained are not hundreds but also ninety, distributed in circuses all over the country. There was an interview with him in the newspaper, calling him the last cat trainer in the world.
"Master Miao?" Chu Xiangyun recognized him. In fact, no one knows the name of the cat trainer, at first the children called him Master Meow, and then he became Miao.
Master Miao said that your friend has eyes, my cat likes her very much, and I want to invite you two to dinner tonight.
But the more Chang Xiaoman looked at the cat, the more strange he felt, could it be that cats expressed their feelings so fiercely? Are you grinning at yourself? She was extremely reluctant to be dragged away by Chu Xiangyun, who said that Master Miao was a big man in Lingzhou City.
"Is this cat following you? What did they treat you to eat that night? Isn't it dragon's beard? ”
"How do you know?" Chang Xiaoman asked with a look of surprise.
"Dragon's beard grass can be used in traditional Chinese 'medicine', which is a food supplement, but this kind of thing also has a peculiar effect that is unknown, people who have eaten dragon's beard grass will leave a strange smell on their bodies, this smell is imperceptible to ordinary people, but animals can, such as cats! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the cat will find it! ”
Chang Xiaoman asked: "But there are many people in the world who eat dragon beard grass, how can it smell my scent?" ”
"The smell of dragon's beard grass is fixed, but different people eat it, and the smell left on the body is different, and in the animal's sense of smell, this smell will be magnified several times."
Ma Chengfeng lifted the quilt as he spoke, approached her and sniffed, but his sense of smell was obviously not comparable to that of a cat, and he couldn't smell anything special.
There was a noisy sound outside the house, and the Nine Lives Cat seemed to have been entangled with the little fox fairy. The yard is simply a 'chicken' flying dog jumping, jingling 'chaos'. Ma Chengfeng appeased Xiao Man a few more words and walked to the window to take a look, under the silvery moonlight, there was no longer the delicate fox fairy in the yard. A big snow-white fox hugged and bit the Nine Lives Cat, it was obvious that the fox had the upper hand over its size, the Nine Lives Cat was covered in blood, and the corner of the left ear had been torn off by the white fox. It shook off the white fox, its 'hair' hair stood upside down, and it limped in place, still staring at the big mouse and refusing to give up.
The white fox didn't give the nine-life cat a chance at all, and pounced on it while it was not stable, the two of them, the difference in size was huge, the white fox stepped on the back of the nine-life cat with huge claws to make it unable to move, and the cat howled miserably, as if it was becoming more and more powerless.
