i am not fat orange

Chapter 1

When did I meet him?I can't remember clearly, is it raining or sunny?The impression is also vague.I have been by his side all these years, maybe I vaguely remember the first time I saw him in my mind, it was just his back.

I am an orange cat, I have nothing to do all day long, and I have an owner who is a Taoist priest in Chang'an Xuandu Temple, so I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and my life is quite comfortable.

……

The Taoist temple is located in Chang'an City, opposite the Xingshan Temple across Zhuque Street. It is called Xuandu Temple, and it is also a place surrounded by high walls and bricks.

And in an inconspicuous place next to the Taoist temple, there is a hole in the corner, which I dug for the convenience of getting in and out.

At first, I was afraid of being discovered, so I went to find some tattered baskets of unwanted sundries to cover up.

Today is also full to eat before going home.I moved the basket and saw that the opening of the hole was a bit small, wondering if it would work.

I squeezed my way into the hole, but... got stuck.

Is it because I am fat?I raised my breath, retracted my stomach and arched forward... It seemed that the heel was getting tighter.

If it was just now, he could still exit, at worst, sneak in from the front.Now it seems to be stuck, neither advancing nor retreating, and the edges and corners of the hole are against the abdomen, which is very uncomfortable.

I pushed forward even harder, but it still didn't work.

What should I do? Do I have to be hungry and eat my stomach?

……

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and I thought you'd go out, but I didn't expect you to be stuck here." A deep voice came to my ears, and I raised my head in a daze, looking at the person who appeared in front of me.

The little Taoist priest wore a gray-bottomed black-edged dress today, and the cuffs were tied with a black rope for convenience.I think the little Taoist priest is out today, otherwise he wouldn't be dressed like this.

Because he was looking up, the little Taoist priest was facing the light behind his back, that is, at that moment, there was a sudden sense of sight, as if it had happened somewhere, and there was also a figure in a Taoist robe in his mind, who had a sudden collision with the little Taoist priest in front of him. coincide.

Bits and pieces flashed by.

……

When I came back to my senses, the little Taoist had brought some things over, brought a basin of water and a little saponin powder, then poured the powder into the water, mixed it with his hands, and then poured the water directly on me.His face was serious and unsmiling, but his words were soft: "Move a little."

My fur got wet and got a lot more slippery around it.

I moved forward little by little, and he used his hands to help me to cover it. After tossing for a while, he finally got out.

……

"Fat again?" He picked me up from the ground and looked at me, he was relieved to make sure that I was not scratched, but he still said out of nowhere.

I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I'll dig the hole wider the next day, it's fine.But he couldn't hear what I was saying, and all he heard was meowing.

Sure enough, you asked me why I didn't transform into a human form

One is because he is afraid that he will be frightened, and the other is that he is afraid that he will be hurt. After all, Xuandu temple is a place of Taoism, and the evil spirit cannot be hidden in human form. There are many people who slay demons and eliminate demons in this place.Now go in and out with the original body, even if you are seen, others will not notice anything.Second, the most important thing is that you can't transform yourself into a human form. This is fundamental.

I feel like I'm at a bottleneck right now, and I'm about to make a breakthrough, but it seems like I've been sealed by something, and I'm almost there.But... I don't care too much about whether I can transform people. In contrast, I care more about whether I can have delicious food every day.

……

He carried me back and washed me with water again.

In fact, cats are not allowed in the Taoist temple, but there is no clear regulation. Sometimes when you see a cat by chance, you just treat it as a wild cat from somewhere, and other Taoist disciples don't care too much.

Moreover, the little Taoist's residence is remote, in the northwest corner of the Taoist temple, and he lives alone.Because of this, I dared to dig a hole in the wall of the little Taoist's courtyard.

But speaking of why the little Taoist lives alone, I don't quite understand.

The initial guess was that it was isolated by others.But one time Xuanduguan preached Taoism to the outside world, and other people didn't treat him like that. Even Xuanduguan Zhangguan and those elders praised him well, saying that he had a thorough understanding of Taoism and had high hopes for him.

Also thought about whether there is some unspeakable hidden disease?But when I spent time with him day and night, I didn't find that he was weak, cold, sick or seriously injured.

On the contrary, waking up every morning is to meditate to cultivate one's nature and build up one's body.The diet is mainly vegetarian and light, and I have already slept in bed at night after the curfew.

He wiped my still wet fur with a cloth.I...Of course I let it go. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a younger brother rubbing his back for free?

……

"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Gu?"

It was the other brothers outside the courtyard who called him, even though they were separated by the door, they could still hear him clearly.He stopped the movement of his hands, wrapped me up first, put me on the couch, and said softly: "Wait for me for a while." Then he got up and walked out the door.

By the way, I forgot to mention that his name is Gu Changjun, I knew it last time when I saw him sign a letter with someone else.

In terms of personality, there is only one word-boring, his daily life is really boring.You said ordinary people are also interested in things like entertainment.He... Read a book and meditated to enlighten the Tao.

I'm going to be suffocated in the long run, and I have no choice but to go out and have fun by myself.

As for my name, I even forgot myself...

……

In the early morning of the next day, there was a continuous drizzle outside, dripping from the eaves.The windows were not closed tightly, and occasionally some drifted in.A desk and a green lamp, with pen and ink ready, the little Taoist priest sat by the window and didn't know what he was writing.

I won't go out today, it's raining outside so I won't get wet.

I shivered and got up from the bed.This nest was given to me by making room for a bookcase drawer.It used to feel very empty to sleep in, but now it's a bit cramped.

Why do I say before?

The position of the drawer is very close to his desk, and he can easily jump over it.After adjusting his posture, he kicked his back foot, and then... he met his eyes on the ground.

He put down his pen with a smile that was not a smile at the corner of his mouth, got up and hugged me, then put me on the table.I glanced at what was written on the paper on his desk, and it seemed that I had written a letter to someone else, and it was almost signed.

He looked at me gently, stroked my hair a few times, and then wrote... Chang Jun's book.Then he put the letter in an envelope and tapped the wax seal.After a while, he picked up the book on the side and read it again, with a blank expression and no words.

This is my daily life with him, day after day, year after year, living a "crazy" life.

……

It was night before the rain stopped.I just had a meal, my stomach was round and I didn't really want to move, so I lay down in front of him and thought about something.After he finished copying the passage, he glanced at me and sighed, "What should I do if I lose weight?"

please!It's not that I'm fat, but you make me fat.

Speaking of the appearance of the little Taoist priest, it is above average, with fair skin, light-colored eyes, and a black mole on the left upper eyelid if you don't look carefully, and the lip color is a little lighter than ordinary people.The look is always indifferent, not easy to get close to, giving people a feeling of refusal.

But... I'm not human, so maybe it's good for me.

The little Taoist's eyes felt slightly dry, and when he was tired, he raised his hands and kneaded his eye sockets a few times.

……

When it was about to go to bed at night, the little Taoist suddenly went out with an iron pick. I was still wondering what the little Taoist was going to do at night?But after about a stick of incense, he came back, but his hands were covered with dust, and he didn't say anything.

The little Taoist cleaned his hands and carried me back to the drawer.After taking a shower, I undress and go to bed.

In the direction of the imperial city in the distance, the sound of evening drums and bells has already sounded...
