Chapter 2287 Cat Tail

"We always go to your house to eat and drink for free, will it cause you trouble?"

Joan asked Rebecca with some embarrassment, but she got a big blank stare.

"Damn it! I'll be in trouble if you don't come! Don't say such outrageous words in the future!"

Walking out of the courtyard, Joan stopped a taxi and told the driver to go to Yangbo Firm first, and then take Rebecca out of the city to go home.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped on the side of the road opposite the trading house. Seeing Rebecca raise her hand, Joan held the girl's slender hand with satisfaction, and kissed her fingertips.

"Come to my house early at noon."

Rebecca whispered softly in his ear before opening the car door.

Joan stood on the side of the road, waved to the car window, watched the carriage go away before turning back his gaze, turned and walked into Yangbo Firm.

As soon as he entered the door, he noticed a guy wearing a black and white striped cloak sitting in front of the counter. There were also a pair of decorative round ears on the hood of the cloak. It was a pity that his figure was not round enough, otherwise his back would look like a panda.

The man was sitting in front of the counter, concentrating on peeling peanuts and throwing them into his mouth. There seemed to be a small animal hidden under the hem of his cloak, shaking from time to time.

Qiao An tilted her head and looked at this person carefully. The more familiar she looked, the more she walked over quietly, trying to lift the hem of her cloak to verify her guess.

Unexpectedly, the man was very alert. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the cloak opened by itself, and a fluffy cat's tail swung out, wrapping around his wrist like a flexible whip.

"Hmph! Little thief, if you still want to keep this dishonest paw, be conscious and leave all the valuables on your body. It's rare that I'm in a good mood. I make an exception and leave you a pair of underpants to wear home."

Catwoman Ranger said with a sneer without looking back.

Joan's left hand was entangled, so he freed his right hand to stroke the cat's tail twice, and greeted the cat before it got mad: "Sister Meow, long time no see."

"Huh? So it's you!" Xiao Miao turned around in surprise and looked Qiao An up and down, "When did you come back?"

"I just came back years ago, less than a month ago."

"Ha! We haven't seen each other for a few years? You've changed a lot, from a kid to a handsome guy!"

"It's been five years, sister Miao, you still look the same, with little change." Qiao An said with emotion.

In this catwoman ranger, there is no trace of the passage of time, and it is impossible to guess how old she is.

"Hey! The lifespan of our cat people is similar to that of elves. It's only five short years. I won't become an old woman!" Xiao Miao wagged her tail triumphantly, grabbed a handful of peanuts and handed them to Joan, "Eat Order it!"

Joan picked up a roasted peanut, crushed the shell and threw it into his mouth, chewing and asking, "Is Mr. Havel at home?"

"Yes! That poor guy is sick, the half-elf Galandil is taking care of him upstairs, and I'll be helping to look after the shop downstairs, and I'll be the proprietress of the business for a day."

Meow shrugged and sighed.

"This damn weather, it's so cold that the cat is freezing to death! I haven't done any business since morning, and I'm almost bored to death, thanks to you! Tell me quickly, you have been in Midgard all these years How's it going, did those rough Yankees pick on you?"

"Let's talk about these things when we have time later, sister Miao, Mr. Harville wrote to invite me to visit yesterday, why did he suddenly fall ill?" Joan had a vague premonition, "Could it be Are you infected with putrid fever?"

"It's indeed rot fever!" Xiao Miao squinted at the young mage, "Do you think I'll praise you for being a prophet? Good idea! Eight out of ten patients in the city suffer from rot fever. It's not unusual for you to guess."

"I'm not going to argue with you, sister Miao, to be honest, are you okay?"

"I am very healthy! Our cat people are naturally more resistant to diseases than humans, but thank you for your concern, come and give you a hug!"

Xiao Miao jumped over with a smile, hugged Joan, and then took him upstairs to visit the sick Mr. Havel.

"Javier, Galandil, look who's coming!"

Xiao Miao pushed open the door and shouted excitedly.

Joan had already seen Mr. Havel, who was leaning on the bed, and Dr. Galandil, who was taking his temperature, walked over to say hello with a touch of excitement.

Javier and Galandil stood up to welcome them in surprise, and looked up and down at the boy who had reunited after a long absence, feeling that he had grown a lot taller and his body was much stronger than before.

The bigger change is temperament. He is no longer that shy and introverted country boy. He looks much more confident than before.

Joan moved two chairs, sat side by side with Xiao Miao in front of the hospital bed, and asked Mr. Havel if he was feeling better.

"The body temperature has dropped, so generally speaking, it's not a big problem." Dr. Galandiel looked at the thermometer, and his expression was not relaxed. "This is the second time Javier has contracted rotting fever since the beginning of winter. He is still mild. Yes, there are those who get sick four or five times."

"Kelanduil, I really can't understand this. I have followed your instructions and only drink boiled water and don't eat any food that has not been fully heated. Why am I still infected with putrid fever?"

Mr Harville could not help complaining.

"Sorry, the same question has been asked by many patients, and even I am confused."

Galanduil smiled wryly.

"I can only say that there may be some kind of man-made factors behind the rotting fever epidemic that began to spread in the city this winter, otherwise it would be impossible for so many abnormal phenomena to appear."

"Rebecca also said that this epidemic is abnormal. Generally speaking, putrid fever bacteria will be killed after high-temperature disinfection, and they cannot survive in a freezing environment. But these rules are invalid now, Rebecca It is suspected that there is more than one 'super source of infection' in the city."

"This sounds a bit like a 'conspiracy theory'. I guess your newspapers are also happy to report this kind of sensational argument." Mr. Havel looked at Xiaomao.

Cat Goddess snorted with a complex expression: "Sister Miranda did intend to plan a series of special reports to track and investigate the conspiracy behind the epidemic, but she didn't expect that the fire would burn on us first. The work hasn't started yet, and she relies heavily on Two investigative journalists had to go on vacation, and I was the only one who had to worry about it."

Joan heard what she meant, and hurriedly asked, "Azhi and Mr. Benny are in trouble?"

Xiao Miao nodded sullenly.

"The Port Leiden police believe that the Ratman family is the culprit of the outbreak, and sent additional police forces to search for the Ratman everywhere in the city, making the streets frantic and panicking."
