Chapter 75 He's My Cat
Chapter 75 He's My Cat
The person who came was a thin, middle-aged male villager, dressed almost as shabby as Yuan Liao, with a hunched back, small eyes rolling around like mice, and a lewd look between his eyebrows and eyes, which made him uncomfortable no matter how he looked.
Yuan Liao raised his eyes and looked at the person coldly. The other person's scalp felt a little numb due to his eyes, but seeing that Yuan Liao was alone and his body looked thin, he gathered himself and shouted: "Who are you! What are you doing here?" Well! Outsiders are not welcome in our village!"
Yuan Liao didn't speak, just stared at him.
Su Xiaojiu timidly "meowed" behind him, but Yuan Liao didn't seem to hear it. The cat couldn't help being anxious, and opened its small fangs to bite the fabric around Yuan Liao's waist, pulling it back hard, trying to bring Yuan Liao Run away quickly.
"Mi—" When the owner hits the cat, it hurts, and sometimes there will be a lot of blood. This person is so good-looking, and he has never been beaten before, so he must not be able to bear it.
Yuan Liao was unmoved.
He gently rubbed Su Xiaojiu's head, signaling him not to be afraid, and stood up with a cold face.
"You are the owner of this cat?" Yuan Liao's deep voice was as cold as ice.
The villagers looked Yuan Liao up and down, seeing that the other party was dressed in the same simple and poor manner, dressed like a hunter, they couldn't help being a little wary.
He quietly took out the sickle on his waist for mowing grass, with a defensive look on his face, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"He is my cat now." Yuan Liao said lightly.
"What!" The villager's eyes widened, and he yelled, "Fart! Let me tell you, this cat was picked up by Lao Tzu from the river, and he managed to make it alive. Do you think that this cat has several tails? It’s a novelty, and you want to grow it up and sell it to the master in the city? Just dream, those silver coins are mine!”
The villagers smiled obscenely, but Yuan Liao picked up a hard branch to stretch his muscles and bones without saying a word, and quickly put the sickle in front of him.
The stranger in front of him showed a tall figure as soon as he stood up. The villagers were a little timid, so they simply gritted their teeth and rushed towards Yuan Liao with a grass sickle. The blade reflected cold light in the sun.
"Meow—" Su Xiaojiu screamed and stood in front of Yuan Liao, furiously furrowed.
Suddenly, two birds flew from nowhere, and their sharp beaks slammed on the villagers' heads. The two people present were stunned for a moment, and the birds took advantage of the gap to escape.
The villagers were furious while clutching their heads with two blood holes, and slashed at Su Xiaojiu with a knife: "What the hell! You are a stinking monster! Let me see how I teach you!"
Su Xiaojiu turned around reflexively and wanted to run, but the handle of the sickle was suddenly blocked by a branch in Yuan Liao's hand, and the veins on the back of his pale hand bulged, Su Xiaojiu's eyes widened immediately.
The scenes that happened in the next few moments were like a dream—his original villainous owner was violently beaten with a tree branch by the good man who caught the fish for him, screaming in pain, and his face was covered with bloodstains from the beating. There was even an unpleasant smell of urine in the air.
The man finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around and ran away, not forgetting to say a harsh word before leaving.
"You you you! Wait for me!"
Yuan Liao remained silent with a cold face, and the gloomy eyes frightened the villagers so that they fell down again, hurriedly got up and ran for their lives with their pants up.
Yuan Liao threw away the bloody branch in his hand, bent down and picked up the kitten.
"Meow..." The little milk cat seemed to have not yet reacted, and looked up at him blankly, a little unbelievable.
He actually beat the villain master away!After Su Xiaojiu came to his senses, he meowed happily.
Yuan Liao gently stroked the cat's head, "You will be my cat from now on, live with me, and I will feed you, you know?"
Su Xiaojiu didn't quite understand, but he could roughly understand Yuan Liao's meaning. He seemed... to be able to live with this good fisherman all the time.
"Meow..." Su Xiaojiu tentatively rubbed his cheek against Yuan Liao's chest. The fabric was rough, but it was comfortable to rub against, and there was a rumbling in his throat.
"The two birds just now," Yuan Liao gestured like a bird, then pointed to Su Xiaojiu himself, "Is it because of you?"
"Meow!" Su Xiaojiu raised her head proudly.
For some reason, he was able to communicate with the small animals in the woods, but Mao Mao was too embarrassed to always ask them to help, and just asked them to come out to play together.
Yuan Liao licked the kitten's head, lowered his eyes, and said in a gentle voice, "Well, you are very powerful."
"Mimi!" Of course.
The little cat had a stinking face, and raised its head to signal Yuan Liao to scratch his chin, which was a bit arrogant.
"..." Yuan Liao was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the time when he was with Su Xiaojiu.
At that time, the kitten was carefree, loved by thousands of pets, and all he had to do every day was act like a baby, or lose his temper with him, how could he suffer so much?
If... From now on, if he pampers and protects this stupid cat, will he be able to avoid the so-called fire-related calamity?Could he also save Su Xiaojiu?
"Mr. Yuan." The voice of the system sounded in his mind at the right time, and he seemed to sigh, "You can't think about it this way. The ending of Xiaojiu will not be changed because of your adoption and love."
Seeing Yuan Liao frowned in confusion, the system could only say, "Why don't you come and see for yourself."
The scene in front of me changed instantly, showing a quiet and peaceful summer village, with thick leaves swaying, and cicadas singing bursts, but the long and long singing of cicadas suddenly changed its tone, distorted into screams and cries, and the night of thousands of miles spread in an instant. Open, the village did not know when the raging flames erupted, Yuan Liao's eyes changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back to protect the cat.
The entire village was engulfed in flames, and the villagers who escaped were howling and fleeing in all directions. No one turned back to fight the fire. They ran as far as they could, and some even pushed away their mothers, wives and children halfway, only caring about their own lives.
A village where everyone is extremely selfish.
Yuan Liao looked down at Su Xiaojiu.
The cat didn't seem to be able to see the terrifying fire in front of him. It nestled in his arms and licked its paws to wash its face. Feeling Yuan Liao's gaze, it even raised its head and acted like a baby at his mimi.
It's okay if you can't see it.
Yuan Liao raised his head again, but his head buzzed as if stimulated by the scene in front of him, as if pierced by an arrow.
He saw a scrawny kitten rushing into the fire scene dripping with water, Yuan Liao hurriedly called "Xiaojiu" to follow, but was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier, calling out to the stupid cat with tears in his eyes. cat.
Not long after, the kitten bit a comatose child by the neckline and tried to drag him out. The hair all over his body was on fire. Su Xiaojiu quickly jumped into the bucket next to him to put out the fire to cool down, and immediately jumped out wet again, and rushed into the fire again save people.
In front of Lie Yan (raging flames), human strength is limited, let alone a kitten. Yuan Liao watched helplessly as the cat that dragged out one after another was burned weaker and weaker, only relying on a willpower from nowhere He held on until he finally fell to the ground.
"...I'm so stupid." Yuan Liao whispered, his eyes were red and watery.
He didn't understand, what was there to save these people?
Being burnt like this, there must be no way out, Yuan Liao felt a throbbing pain in his heart, wishing he could suffer that flesh and blood for Su Xiaojiu.
No wonder kittens are so afraid of fire.
The kitten limp on the ground was soon discovered by the surviving humans, and several people surrounded it with sullen faces. Yuan Liao suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, and frowned.
A villager walked quickly, it was the person Yuan Liao beat up today, Su Xiaojiu's so-called "master".
He pointed at Su Xiaojiu with a distorted and ugly face full of black and gray, and yelled viciously: "It's the one that brought natural disasters to our village! This damned monster! He died six times and is still alive! I shouldn't have come from the river back then!" Instead of dredging it up, I should have drowned it three more times!"
"The nine lives of this nine-tailed cat go against the laws of heaven and are a symbol of disaster!"
"I saw it throw the child into the fire with my own eyes! The vicious monster!"
"Now it has only its last tail! Kill it!"
"Kill it! Kill it!"
"Kill it!"
"..."
Amidst the irrational villagers' curses, the dying Su Xiaojiu was pinched by the neck and grabbed. His fur had been burnt black, and his eyes were blinded by the smoke.
"Mi..." the kitten yelled weakly, with only half of its severed tail swaying. It seemed that it couldn't understand the meaning of the villagers' roars. It thought it was finally recognized and would be petted affectionately.
But he didn't expect that the next moment, the cat would be thrown into the flames without hesitation. Yuan Liao's pupils shrank sharply, and when he saw Su Xiaojiu falling into the flames, he opened his eyes in astonishment. But he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't even call for help.
"boom--"
Sacrificing a pure and innocent kind soul, the fire burst into more fiery flames, spreading across the entire village and the surrounding fields. Countless flames floated into the night sky like sky lanterns, and finally dimmed into fine ashes, dissipating with the wind.
A low system sound sounded.
"This is the memory he sealed in his subconscious."
"In other words, he who is now trapped in his subconscious is going through all this in an infinite cycle."
