Chapter 1117 Temporary Residence

Dizziness.

She followed a child who was getting ice cream and walked into a community before she knew it.

That ice cream looks so delicious. The snow-white and sweet mille-layer pagoda is piled up like snow, dotted with bright red and lovely cherries. It melts in your mouth and is very delicious. She swallowed, her stomach growling as she recalled the many high-end ice creams she had eaten over the years.

The child's mother looked at her warily several times, pulled the child, and walked away quickly.

Xia Ling stood there awkwardly, at a loss for what to do.

Where to go and what to eat?

Just then, she heard a meow, and a wild cat jumped lightly in front of her and went not far ahead. Not far away is a small open space, where there is an old lady who looks very old, hunched over, pouring out cat food from a bag, and lovingly looking at a group of wild cats at her feet.

"Eat, eat," the old grandma smiled lovingly, "you poor little guys, eat more, the weather is getting colder and it's getting harder to find food, remember to come here every day, grandma I bring you cat food every day." The wild cats meowed, and some of them gently nudged the old lady with their bodies.

The old lady looked very happy, talked to them for a while, then slowly turned and left.

Xia Ling looked at the cat food in the open space, and the hungry twitching feeling in her stomach returned. She also had cats before, and when she was naughty, she secretly bit a piece of cat food and tasted it. She frowned and spat it out at the time, but in retrospect it was delicious in the world. Uncontrollably, she moved towards the feeding place of the wild cats. When no one was paying attention, she grabbed a few pieces of cat food and stuffed them into her mouth.

A little hard, kind of like a biscuit.

It wasn't very delicious, but the unique aroma filled her mouth, making her eager to eat more.

She reached out to grab it again, but this move angered the wild cats. The cat closest to her roared "meow", showed her claws and scratched her hard. She only felt a pain on the back of her hand, and a long blood streak appeared on her originally soft and delicate skin. "Ah!" She let out a small cry, it was extremely painful.

However, there was not much cat food left on the ground.

She didn't care much, she only knew that if she missed this meal, she would not know where the next meal would be, so she grabbed the cat food with both hands and hurriedly stuffed it into her mouth.

More wild cats were irritated, and jumped up and scratched her with their paws. Her cheeks and neck were scratched with wounds. food. The wild cats refused to give in and wanted to tear this bad woman to pieces for daring to steal food.

Xia Ling used one arm to protect her head and face. The coat on her body was torn several times and she was in a miserable state.

She ate in a hurry, and the wild cats also attacked quickly and intensively. For a moment, she had an illusion, would she be bitten to death by the wild cats here today? What a strange way to die...

She thought happily.

Suddenly, an old voice rang: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, go away, go away!"

The wild cats jumping on her gradually dispersed, and the pain was no longer so severe. Xia Ling raised her head little by little and saw that the old woman who had just fed the cat had left and returned without knowing when. She lowered her head and looked at her distressedly.

"Which family's child is this?" She squatted down affectionately, and straightened Xia Ling's messy hair. "Why are you fighting for food with the cat here? Good boy, are you starving?"

Hearing the old lady's kind voice, her tears flowed down and she nodded.

"Where is your family?" the old lady asked distressedly.

"I...I have no family anymore." Xia Ling choked and said.

"Hey, what's wrong with this?" The old grandma thought for a while, "Girl, it's getting late today. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for one night? Take a hot bath and grandma will cook for you delicious."

Xia Ling didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to her. In the past two days, her heart was rekindled from being dejected due to being displaced and stared at. She asked full of hope: "Is it really possible?"

"Why not?" The old lady smiled and led her home, "My wife passed away early, so I live alone, and my children only come to visit during the holidays, and I am usually very lonely. That’s why I come here to feed the cats every day, and they are the only ones who can talk to me. It’s great that you can come to my house as a guest.”

Only then did Xia Ling feel relieved, and followed the grandmother to her house.

It was a room on the first floor of a residential area. As soon as you entered the door, you were greeted by a strange smell.

Xia Ling instinctively covered her nose.

The old grandma smiled at her apologetically: "The house is a bit messy, so you can make do with it. I adopted a lot of homeless little ones, and it's inevitable that they will smell bad. But don't worry, they are very good and won't bite you."

It was only then that Xia Ling realized that there were at least a dozen cats in the room, big and small, chasing and playing, or sleeping curled up in a corner of the room. "So many cats," she marveled quietly.

The grandmother said: "These cats are very poor. They don't eat enough outside. In winter, they crawl into the exhaust pipe of the car to keep warm. They are easy to die. There are always cat abusers who come to catch them. Me, take those small, The pregnant ones, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were all brought back, and there were some beautiful and lovable ones who were sterilized, dewormed, and found a kind person to adopt, which is also a way to find a home for them.”

"You are so kind to them." Xia Ling said.

She originally liked small animals, but at this moment, she forgot about the hunger in her stomach and squatted down to play with a little milk cat that was only a few months old. The little cat seemed to like her very much. He meowed softly and licked her hand in a friendly way.

Seeing that she was kind to the cat, the old lady was more kind to her. She cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles and served it to her steaming hot: "Eat it while it's hot. See if it suits your taste."

Her cooking was only average. If it had been a month ago, Xia Ling would never have eaten it. But now that she had been hungry for two days, she only felt that this bowl of tomato and egg noodles was a rare delicacy in the world. She quickly ate it all and felt much better with food in her stomach. "Thank you." She said sincerely.

The old lady was very happy to see that she loved to eat, and said naggingly: "My daughter loved to eat the noodles I made when she was a child. She can eat a big bowl. Unfortunately, she is married now and has less time to come back. Girl , you can sleep in her room tonight, take a bath and change into her pajamas later."

"Okay." Xia Ling showed a smile.

This was the first time she smiled since she learned about Pei Ziheng and Wang Jingwan's engagement.

For a long time, she just wanted a home. The crystal cage Pei Ziheng gave her was broken. It wasn't until she moved into the old grandmother's shabby little house that she felt the taste of home.
