An old cat's breeding diary

Chapter 2

A group of people entered the inner hall to sit, and Zong Xun went to invite the master.

"Master just left the gate last night, I was worried that you wouldn't see anyone when you came up." Zong Xun helped a man in a green shirt and a white robe to come out.

The man looked about 40 years old, with a smile on his face.In the cold weather, he only wore a slightly thicker white robe underneath and a blue Taoist robe on the outside.He was half a head shorter than Zong Xun in stature, but because Zong Xun slightly arched his body to support his elbow, they seemed to be about the same height.The stern face smiled when he saw the old cat, "Jiang'er."

"Master." The old cat smiled and walked over to hug the man, "Master is still so young~"

"The hair is all white." The man smiled and turned his face to listen to the old cat.

"Master looks good even if his hair is white!" The old cat looked thin, but he was not short.Apart from Zong Xun, he was the tallest in the group, and Zong Xun was also wearing a Dao crown. Apart from the Dao crown, I don't know who looked taller.At this time, he was forcibly leaning on the man to act like a baby, but because of his soft face, he didn't look ugly.

The man doted on him very much, so he said in a reproachful manner, "Your senior brother prepared fish for you."

"Great! Disciple came to pay homage to your master." The old cat stared deep into the sockets of his eyes. Although his face was soft, his chin was a little firm.Not only does the whole face not look feminine, but it is full of heroism, and it can fully demonstrate the blood of the Western Regions.At this time, he called his disciples to come and pay respects to the master. With such a smile, his whole face seemed to be shining brightly.

"Hey, this is Xiaoyuan Mountain, right?" The man looked young, but his hair was already covered with snow, and besides, Zong Xun and Lao Mao were two apprentices, so he probably wouldn't be young enough to go there.It's just that this silver-haired head, coupled with the stern face and leisurely posture, looks like a fairy.Zong Xun just stood aside and waited and didn't talk much, just in case he needed it.

"Disciple Zhang Yuanshan pays homage to master." Zhang Yuanshan knelt down to pay homage upon hearing the greeting.

"Disciple Li Chengfeng brought his apprentice Lu Mingshi to pay homage to the master." Li Chengfeng saw that he also called his disciples to pay homage together.

"Mingshi pays homage to Master Zeng." Lu Mingshi remained expressionless, but he was very obedient, obediently following him to pay respects to Master Zeng.

The man sat upright with a smile on his face, listened to them, and would ask a few questions from time to time, as if he was very happy.Zong Xun brought a cup of tea over, and he took it too.Zong Xun collected the tea and put it aside, seeing the man chatting happily with Lu Jiang and the others, he didn't say much, just stood back and waited.

After lunch, Zong Xun waited for the man to go back to his room for an afternoon nap, and Lu Jiang and the others were also arranged to rest.When they got up, the man sat in the yard drinking tea, and they started cleaning the yard where the man lived.

The man was sitting on a rattan chair with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and was wearing a white velvet windbreaker. From time to time, there was steam rising and steaming, and the face of the smoked man turned red.Looking at it from a distance, it is only smog lingering, but the face is blurred and cannot be seen clearly.The man's silver hair does not contain variegated colors, only a bun is tied on top, and the back is scattered to blend in with the snow scene in the yard, and sitting there in white clothes, the whole person seems to melt into the scene. Banished immortals, false and true seem to be true.

Lu Mingzhi was honestly doing the tasks assigned to him, and Li Chengfeng came over to tease him from time to time.He probably ignored it, at most gave him an anxious look.When Li Chengfeng sees people in a hurry, he will smile and coax him. The two of them come and go, which is harmonious.

On Lu Jiang's side, he was lazily sweeping the floor and lazily wiping the antique shelves. Zhang Yuanshan stood beside him shaking after he wiped it a few times. Master, go and wipe the table handle, this job is not suitable for you."

The old cat didn't know the difference, and still smiled lazily, "Okay~" He wiped the rag and changed the water in the basin, but he didn't want to use his strength when he walked, and looked crooked several times before spilling it.As soon as Zhang Yuanshan looked back, he saw that he was about to fall, and hurriedly took the basin and brought it over to him. The old cat swayed twice to stabilize his figure, and still looked at his apprentice with a smile.Zhang Yuanshan knew that he was not suitable for work, so he didn't intend to say anything about him, but when he took the pot, he touched the old cat's hand and frowned.He probed the water in the basin, wiped his hands clean, and grasped the old cat's cold hand, "Master, why do you wash the rag in cold water?" He said distressedly and stuffed the old cat's hand into the clothes on his chest. Warm it in.

The old cat said with a smile, "It's going to be cold anyway~" But his hands dishonestly groped on his apprentice's chest.

Zhang Yuanshan's face turned red in an instant. He panicked and held down his master's troubled hand on his chest, and cleared his throat, "Ahem! Master, go and sweep the snow in the yard..." After thinking about it, it's not right. "Ming I'll be there in a while, you tidy up Zeng Shizu's books?"

The old cat had no objection to the obvious eccentric arrangement of his apprentice, so he took out his warmed hand and squeezed Zhang Yuanshan's face. "Okay~ I'm going to the study, call me after dinner."

Zhang Yuanshan touched the pinched red area on his face, turned around and finished his work, and continued to wipe the antique shelf for his master, but the redness on his ears did not fade away.

The old cat took a look at the bookshelf, but there was nothing messy, except that some books were in the wrong order and there was a thin layer of dust on the bookshelf.The old cat simply took all the books down, wiped the shelves, and then sat on the floor, holding the books and sorting them out one by one, flipping through them from time to time when they saw interesting ones.

When Zhang Yuanshan came in, the old cat didn't know where to look, sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a book in a daze.It's just that the look on his face is different from the usual laziness, nor is he reading with great interest.He stared blankly at the pages of the book, wondering what he was thinking.

"Master?" Zhang Yuanshan approached and called him softly.

Only then did the old cat come back to his senses, his face regained his laziness, and he closed the book with its pages slightly opened because he was often flipped through.Zhang Yuanshan only had time to see the three words on the cover: Longevity Technique.He was asked by his master to pull him up.Zhang Yuanshan didn't think too much about it, he pulled the old cat up and helped him organize the books on the floor and put them on the place.After sitting cross-legged for a long time with support, the master, who was a little unsteady when walking, went to eat outside.

————————————————————

The old cat sat on one side, with a book in his hand on the table.It was the "Longevity Technique" in the daytime.The old cat's tone was still lazy, "Why didn't I know you had this kind of heart?"

Zong Xun ignored him, and packed the pillow and bedding aside, his tone was still calm and gentle, "I didn't use it at all."

"Master?" The old cat raised an eyebrow, "Did he suddenly change his temper, or was someone trying to defy the sky?"

"Heh~" Zong Xun smiled without warmth, "How can it be considered against the sky? We cultivators are already cultivating our health and prolonging our lives. I am just helping Master to recuperate our bodies."

"Conditioning?" The old cat played with the word, and the expression on his face gradually became relaxed and lazy, becoming intriguing. "Then does he know? Do you really think that now that Master doesn't remember things, he really loses his mind and is very easy to fool." ?”

Thinking of that person, Zong Xun's expression turned soft, "I'd rather..."

After understanding the meaning of his words, Lao Mao asked solemnly, "Brother?"

Seeing that he was serious, Zong Xun smiled, "I didn't..."

Footsteps sounded outside the door, and the next moment there was a knock on the door, "Master, is Master there? It's late at night, and it's time to go to bed." A voice asked modestly, it was Zhang Yuanshan.

The people in the room paused for a moment, but did not say anything more after all.

The old cat opened the door and came out, embracing Zhang Yuanshan's shoulders like a boneless one, putting all his weight on the person, teasing Zhang Yuanshan, "I just left for a while, do you want to be a teacher?"

Zhang Yuanshan smiled honestly, "It's cold, I'm afraid Master will freeze outside."

Squeeze his earlobe, and the old cat teases him "will be good."

Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said nothing.He shook his head and let the old cat knead the cold fingers on the earlobe without shaking off.

"It's so cold, let's sleep in your room tonight." The old cat put his arms around Zhang Yuanshan, and put his arms around Zhang Yuanshan, seemingly casually suggesting.

"I know Master is afraid of the cold, so we put all our things in the same room." Zhang Yuanshan didn't feel seduced at all, let the old cat weigh heavily on him, and led the man back to the house.

The old cat squinted comfortably, enjoying the feeling of being served and bathed by his apprentice, and was about to fall asleep comfortably.After someone tidied him up, the old cat closed his eyes and fell asleep after being stuffed into the bed.Sleepy, but can't sleep.

After a while, Zhang Yuanshan also finished washing, and lifted the quilt carefully.He didn't dare to disturb the person who was drowsily asleep, and tried to move as lightly as possible.Unexpectedly, he was grabbed as soon as he lay down. The old cat pulled him into his arms and wrapped his arms around Zhang Yuanshan's body.He froze for a moment, not daring to move, and only relaxed after his breathing gradually became smoother.

Zhang Yuanshan didn't know what he thought of, and he couldn't sleep.He didn't dare to move, his face was facing Master's neck, and all he breathed was his smell.And the old cat's breath sprayed on his forehead, itching.

"Can't sleep?" the old cat suddenly said in the dark, Zhang Yuanshan looked at it in the dim moonlight, and indeed he didn't open his eyes, talking in sleep?

"En." Zhang Yuanshan responded in a low voice, no matter what, the volume of the rest of the people around him would not be disturbed.

The old cat changed his posture and still hugged his apprentice, but instead lay down.He still had his eyes closed, he didn't know if he was sleepy or he was talking in his sleep, his voice didn't have the teasing and joking in the daytime, but a gentle soothing voice, "Are you still sleeping in Master's arms?"

Zhang Yuanshan looked at the outline of the old cat's tall nose, but didn't speak.

The old cat didn't need him to answer. He smiled softly, and he said endlessly, "Some people and some things don't just need to be thought about."

Zhang Yuanshan stared blankly through the arc of the old cat's nose with his eyes open.Hearing this sentence, his eyes slowly turned back, and he leaned into the arms of Master with his face sideways like when he was a child, and looked at him and asked, "For example?"

"For example... your uncle likes your ancestor, but he doesn't say anything, he's so nervous." The old cat's voice is actually very pleasant, with the deep and round tone of people from the Western Regions, but he is usually not good at speaking, and he can't speak well. Most of them are ridicules, and you are often jumped by him before you have time to comment on his timbre, but what about him?Still smiling calmly and lazily.People can't tell which sentence he said is true and which sentence is false.

"I want to, but I can't?" Zhang Yuanshan asked obediently.

"I want to, but I can't." The old cat repeated, but in a sigh-like tone.

Zhang Yuanshan stopped talking, he didn't know whether he was thinking or letting go.

The two were silent for a while, and the old cat suddenly asked, "Does my baby like Master?"

"..." Zhang Yuanshan came back to his senses and looked at the old cat. He was lying on his side just covering the moonlight, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.In the dark shadows, except for the glint of those deep eyes, the expression on his face was blurred.But the old cat was lying flat, his eyes were closed, the shadow of the moon was hazy, and he couldn't see those bright eyes.

After a while, the old cat smiled and turned sideways, "Shouldn't you say it as your default?"

Zhang Yuanshan moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

"Mua~ so good." The old cat bowed his head and kissed Zhang Yuanshan's forehead lightly, "Master also likes you the most."

……

"Good night."

"Good night."
