13-Prelude to Trouble (1/2)
Hearing the sound of the car approaching, Nan Qiao showed his flexibility that was not in line with his body. He turned off the computer, looked around, and found that there was nothing different around him. He quickly jumped off the table and asked Si Qingyan to jump down as well. He cushioned her.
Since Nan Qiao was so proactive, Si Qingyan was not polite.
He jumped down and landed on Nan Qiao's soft back. The two cats opened the door and went out as before, lying on the cushions.
The puppy had fallen asleep.
Nan Qiao helped turn off the TV.
When He Yu came in, he smelled of alcohol, and everything around him seemed to have double images. He still saw Wangcai sleeping on the sofa. Thinking of Wangcai's ringworm, he walked over quickly, picked up Wangcai, and threw him into the cage.
The puppy who was sleeping soundly was woken up and wanted to curse but held it back. He continued to sleep in the cage, but he was thinking in his heart, He Yu doesn't like drinking, why did he drink so much today?
He Yu wanted to get something for the cat to eat, but she was too sleepy, so she took a bath first.
He didn't come out for a long time, and there was no sound of water in the bathroom.
The puppy couldn't help but get anxious.
He Yu wouldn't die suddenly in there!
"Two cat brothers, can you help me check on him?"
She was in the cage, and it was not locked this time, but the switch outside was stuck, and she still couldn't get out.
"Okay." Nan Qiao got up lazily to open the bathroom door, and the puppy looked expectant. Si Qingyan scanned with her spiritual sense and found that He Yu was almost sinking into the bathtub. If he sank a little longer, between the edge of life and death, maybe He Yu's soul would leave his body before he died, or He Yu would die directly and then his soul would leave his body.
Nan Qiao lay on the side of the bathtub, facing He Yu's face, and shot left and right.
Let you steal the cat! Let you steal the cat!
Pa Pa Pa!
He Yu woke up and choked for a long time.
He was a little scared and almost died.
When he looked at the cat again, it was different from before. After all, it was a life-saving cat. Cats don't have the ability to see through things. Maybe this big fat cat is hungry.
He Yu is much more sober now.
He got up, put on his clothes, casually painted his face, and went to the kitchen to prepare food for the cat.
Nan Qiao made a contribution and had a plate of chicken breast in the evening, which was very satisfying.
Every time He Yu wanted to pet the cat, Nan Qiao would dodge left and right and become slippery. Si Qingyan was even more flexible and changeable. The only one who could be petted was the bald Wangcai.
He Yu lost his desire after taking a look.
He called Ke Jingyan's mobile number.
Soon, the other party answered.
Rong Fei's pleasant voice sounded:
"What are you doing?"
"I want to hear the sound of your voice."
He Yu briefly described what happened in the bathroom.
"Oh... then you are very lucky." Rong Fei didn't curse today, but her tone was very indifferent.
He Yu asked her if she was unhappy about anything, but Rong Fei said nothing.
"I may be a little busy recently. My father transferred me to the branch in Beijing..."
"Then you do your best." Rong Fei perfunctorily hung up the phone.
Nan Qiao and the prince are not here, and life feels much more dull.
Lao Xia has not come back either, and the staff who feeds the cats did not notice that two cats are missing. Nan Qiao is so fat and so conspicuous, and she doesn't even come to eat. If Lao Xia is here, he will definitely notice something unusual.
He Yu is obviously not satisfied. When he thinks of the female voice on the other end of the phone, he can't help but smile. Now I don't know her name, when will I know it.
The puppy showed contempt in the cage.
The big scumbag smiled smugly, probably wanting to pick up girls again.
Once is raw, second is familiar, Nan Qiao is no longer jealous. Rong Fei should not look down on people like He Yu. In the past, I was much more beautiful than He Yu, and I was the master of the world. I was obedient to Rong Fei, but I still don't know what Rong Fei thinks in her heart.
The next day, He Yu got up early and prepared breakfast, which was quite a lot, and added nutritional paste. After feeding the cat, he drove to work. Before he left, he turned on the TV to play cartoons to prevent the cat from getting bored.
"Let's see when He Yu will come back today. If he comes back late, shall we go back to the Forbidden City tomorrow?"
Nan Qiao asked.
"Okay." Si Qingyan thought it was feasible. Generally, social animals work 996, and they still have plenty of time.
"How will we go back tomorrow? It's too expensive to take a taxi, and pets are not allowed on buses and subways." Nan Qiao scratched his head.
"I can become invisible."
Si Qingyan said this, consuming a little bit of spiritual energy, and the screen's senses.
In Nan Qiao's eyes, the prince at this moment completely disappeared. He believed what Si Qingyan said even more. It seemed that the prince was indeed a cat demon who had practiced for thousands of years.
"What about me?" Nan Qiao held his face.
"I'll try."
Si Qingyan walked around Nan Qiao.
Soon, Nan Qiao also became invisible.
Perhaps because Nan Qiao's body was too bloated, Si Qingyan suddenly felt that the spiritual energy she had accumulated was being consumed drastically.
"It can only last for about ten minutes." Si Qingyan calculated.
"Well, how about you go back first? I'll go back next time." Nan Qiao was a little disappointed.
Ten minutes was obviously not enough to get to the Forbidden City. If something went wrong halfway, it would obviously become big news.
"I can take you back in three days."
"Okay~" Nan Qiao was happy and almost wanted to lick Si Qingyan's fur.
Si Qingyan slipped away, opened He Yu's computer, and checked the route map back. Bus and subway, about an hour and a half.
So, we can go back to the Forbidden City today, and it doesn't matter when He Yu will come back.
"Woof woof woof, where are you going?"
Wangcai almost forgot how to speak.
"Both cat brothers, can you let me out too?"
"If you say something nice again, I'll let you out."
Nan Qiao has the ugly face of a villain, but his round and stocky body does not bring a sense of menace, but is rather cute.
"Brother Cat, please let me out. I will be your little brother from now on."
The puppy has a humble posture.
"All right."
Nan Qiao opened the dog cage door.
Si Qingyan quietly disappeared and left.
There is a subway station nearby and there are very few people coming and going. The behavior of invisible fare evasion is really shameful, but fortunately no one saw it.
Si Qingyan spent most of the time on the subway, hiding under the seat and occasionally squatting behind the luggage to lose her invisibility and save as much spiritual power as she could. The subway was much better than the bus, and he was almost overcrowded. The bus was so crowded that there was no room to stand.
Si Qingyan began to feel lucky for Nan Qiao. Fortunately, he didn't come, otherwise he would have been squeezed into a cat pie.
Today is a working day. There are not many tourists visiting the Forbidden City.
After finding a surveillance blind spot to remove her invisibility, Si Qingyan leisurely went to look for other cats.
The first one I saw was Ayun.
She likes to lie down on the promenade outside Changning Palace. There are many plants planted there and hot spring water is drawn from the ground. Even in winter, there is a greenery.
Ayun was obviously very excited and quietly took Si Qingyan back to the darkroom.
"How's it going? Is the journey back going smoothly?"
"It's not bad, but there are many people on the bus and it's very crowded."
"Just come back." Concubine Rong lay lazily in the cat's nest and stretched out her head, her eyes still on the phone screen.
A lipstick color test live broadcast is being played above.
"This color number is really amazing! omg! Buy it! Buy it! Limited edition..."
"How is the living standard over there? Can he afford so many cats?" Concubine Rong asked.
"I can afford it, but He Yu may not be happy with it." Si Qingyan thought for a while and said.
"It doesn't matter. After a while, I will ask him to help me take care of the kitten."
Concubine Rong showed a kind smile.
All the cats in the darkroom will smile.
Concubine Rong takes action, one can stand up to two. If Concubine Rong could turn into a human form, with a fleeting glance, she would be transformed into a human being.
"How are you doing here?" Si Qingyan asked.
"Same as usual." The champion cat yawned.
The weather is nice today and the university has started classes. You can go to a nearby school to take classes. In fact, he felt that if he had a choice, it would be better to find a safe place to live near the Forbidden City, as long as there was internet, water, electricity, and good food. The transportation here is convenient and the scenery is pleasant, but the housing prices nearby are too expensive...wait! It seems that there is also a box of jewelry in the box. If you sell them, you should be able to buy a house near the Forbidden City.
"Prince, when can you become a human?"
General Mo asked.
"As little as three months, as much as a year." Si Qingyan said.
"Ah~ is there any way to get an ID card then?"
Prime Minister Mao feels that this little certificate is very important.
"Yes, I can get a false certificate so that no one else can find out." Si Qingyan smiled.
"Wonderful!" Meows sounded one after another in the dark room.
"Recently, CCTV is preparing to film a documentary on the Forbidden City. There is one episode about the cultural relic maintainers in the Forbidden City, and another episode about the internal structure of the Forbidden City. The underground drainage system may be re-examined. We can then influence the detection of the machine so that it cannot find the location of the darkroom... … We don’t know exactly what will happen.”
Ayun was a little worried.
"Probably some day, I'll come over and take a look then." Si Qingyan said.
"Actually, it's okay for you and Nan Qiao to come back and live there. As long as you make sure how Xiao Ke is doing...if anything happens, we'll call the police. If nothing happens, it's not a bad idea to go back to the palace." Ayun is more inclined to let Nan Qiao and Si Qingyan come back to the Forbidden City. .
"I think He Yu's place is better. It has air conditioning and water heater. When He Yu is not at home, we can take a shower, blow hair, play on the computer, and watch TV. Moreover, He Yu's home is very spacious... If He Yu harms Xiao Ke, he might be punished. If the police arrest us, we will be happier. As long as we spend three to one year, we will still have a lot of time in the future~"
Concubine Rong was tired of living in a dark room. It's freezing when it's cold here, and it's stuffy and airless when it's hot. There's a dark and damp smell. Moss grows in some places, and bugs often crawl around.
The Forbidden City on the ground is spacious and beautiful, and there are so many tourists coming and going. Many places have been vacated, making it not suitable for living. Sleeping on the roof during the day is just fine. Everything they were familiar with gradually became unfamiliar.
"Let's do this, a two-pronged approach. Concubine Rong will continue to call He Yu to communicate with her. Nan Qiao and the prince will check Xiao Ke's whereabouts. If appropriate, we will try to live with He Yu," said the Queen Mother Cat.
Maybe it's because He Yu seems to be rich but not a good person. The cats all want to take advantage of him. It's best to eat and live there and empty He Yu's wallet. If you are a cat person who really loves cats, like Lao Xia, you can have a meal once in a while, but you will be embarrassed if you really want to stay there for a long time. Moreover, Lao Xia has achieved results in certain fields, and he has received more attention.
After discussing it, Si Qingyan walked around the Forbidden City and disappeared into the shadow of flowers under the gaze of several cats.
"I'm leaving. I'll come back another day."
"Be careful along the way."
————
He Yu still came back very late. He didn't drink today, but he was very tired. After cooking the cat meal, I soaked Wangcai in dog food, took a quick bath, and threw it on the bed.
The cats and dogs at home are still obedient, no excrement is seen, and they are not noisy. Someone comes to clean the house every three days, and the cat litter can be cleaned by the way.
There seems to be cat hair on the floor. It’s time to buy a sweeping robot...
He Yu thought like this and fell asleep quickly.
I forgot to call her, will she forget me?
On the other side, Nan Qiao closed the study door and was chatting with Concubine Rong.
"He Yu is very tired today and went to bed very early. Don't worry, he is not looking for a new girl to fall in love with..."
As he spoke, Nan Qiao suddenly felt strange. He instantly felt like the princess in "Water Margin". Forget about making connections, she also wanted to keep an eye on He Yu so that he must be charmed by Concubine Rong.
Nan Qiao touched the top of his head. Without a hat, it wasn't a big problem.
He put on his headphones and started playing games.
Si Qingyan opened the curtains and practiced under the silvery moonlight. The essence of moonlight and stars has always been very suitable for demon cultivation. It is available in many worlds and makes entry into the realm much faster.
After Nan Qiao asked how to practice, he quickly gave up because he didn't know where the cat's meridians and Dantian were. As a cat, the most important thing is to have fun, so let’s play games first.
The little puppy was released from the cage by Nan Qiao, collapsed on the sofa, and watched a movie in silence.
There was nothing she could do, she didn't know where her body was, and the only breakthrough was with He Yu. Anyone who finds her body should be able to find He Yu through her.
After going abroad with He Yu, she first studied in a language school for a period of time. Her foundation was very good. Like most Chinese people, she learned mute English. She could read and write, but was very bad at speaking. It didn’t take long for me to basically master the communication skills, and I was admitted to a good university.
He Yu suddenly wanted to return to China, saying that there was something going on at home.
She also wanted to go back with him, but He Yu broke up and didn't want her to go back to the country with him.
An argument broke out between the two and she eventually came back. Even if He Yu said it was a breakup, why should he waste his studies? He has already prepared her tuition and living expenses. In her heart, nothing was important to He Yu. He returned home in a hurry. He must have something very urgent to deal with. Maybe she could be of some help.
Then...she fell into the sea. It became what it is now.
He Yu actually started flirting with other girls, which was too much.
Life will be the same without you, and you should do the same.
What He Yu said went over and over in his mind.
If I had known she would not have returned home.
She frantically banged her head against the sofa cushions, trying to knock herself back to her previous self. Of course, it's useless.
The new day repeated yesterday's schedule. The ingredients of the cat rice were slightly changed. He Yu also added cooked egg yolk to the puppy. He eats the egg whites, and the puppies eat the yolks.
The daily routine of a social worker is always the same, and occasionally they work overtime until late at night.
He Yu originally just wanted to experience the feeling of deceiving animals' emotions, but now he really feels that raising two cats is not bad.
Every night when I open the door and turn on the light, I see the cat’s lazy face and immediately feel less lonely. As for the little native dog...the hair seems to have grown out a little. If it grows a little longer, it will become much cuter.
Tonight, I finally got to call her.
This time we are talking about cats. Concubine Rong said that she had raised a kitten with white fur and a cat with different eyes. She explained clearly what the cat should eat and what scented shower gel it should use.
He Yu was very happy to hear it. He was so happy to hear her say so many words. She seems to have an unknown magic power that attracts people to explore and can also bring people a good mood.
Talking about late at night, saying good night to each other, He Yu had a sweet dream. On the other side, Concubine Rong had a lazy posture, holding her chin, and her slightly heaving belly trembled with her breathing.
"Rong Rong, you seem to have gained a little weight." Ayun stared at Concubine Rong's belly.
"No, it was just a matter of angle." Concubine Rong breathed hard.
"Yes, I seem to have seen it wrong." Ayun looked away.
"I feel like that... He Yu, it's just like that word that people nowadays use very popularly..." The concubine's voice was very weak when she spoke, and her memory was not very good.
"It's a dog licking," the Queen Mother said.
"Yes." The Dowager Empress and the Empress Dowager looked at each other and smiled, then encouraged:
"Rong Rong, our happy life is all in your hands."
"Don't worry! I will definitely negotiate a deal." Concubine Rong was full of energy.
"We can also help if necessary." The censor cat, prime minister cat, general cat, champion cat and other cats all said.
"Well, you can go hook up with the rich woman and act as her game partner. Maybe you can make some money." Concubine Rong had an idea.
"This, this...I..." Yushi Mao was familiar with the sages' books and felt that he couldn't do it.
"Yes, what Concubine Rong said makes sense," Prime Minister Mao suddenly changed his tone, "But the Censor and I are old, and the rich lady won't like our voices, so let General Mo and Xiao Zhuangyuan go. "
"It's very true." The imperial censor immediately agreed.
Concubine Rong pondered for a moment. Yes, the prime minister and the censor are old, so it seems inappropriate to seduce a rich woman, so let the young cats do it.
Concubine Rong looked at the champion cat and the general cat.
"I tutor primary school students with their homework, and I make money." Zhuangyuanmao said.
So all the cats turned their attention to General Mo.
General Mo suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.
I'm just a little kitten.
He took a few steps back unconsciously.
"The general has a nice voice. I think the rich woman will like it." Ayun was obviously on Concubine Rong's side.
"I...I don't know how to play games."
General Mo was nervous.
His voice is really nice, clear and crisp, and every word is clear. Perhaps because he doesn't like to talk, his voice has been processed by silence. Once he opens his mouth, it can amaze the ears.
Nan Qiao loses every time he plays games, and only occasionally wins. In General Mo's mind, playing games is extremely difficult, and it is difficult to govern the country.
"It's okay, you try, maybe it can work." Concubine Rong encouraged.
"Oh well."
General Mo also felt that he should make money. He couldn't rely on Concubine Rong to support his family alone. The Queen Mother and the Prime Minister are both elderly, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Rong are both girls. Nan Qiao used her cuteness to get everyone a steady stream of cat food and snacks, and even created a cat feeding industry chain in the Forbidden City... General Mo decided that he would shoulder the important responsibility of supporting his family.
Open the game app, General Mo uses Xiao Ke's large account to log in to the game and enter the novice mode. After roughly understanding it, General Mo began to match his teammates and start a new journey.
"How is it? Is it difficult?" Concubine Rong asked. She is not very interested in this, she only knows that if she plays well, she can practice as a contemporary.
"It's very simple. Are your Majesty and I playing the same game?" General Mo was puzzled.
The cats in the darkroom were silent.
"It should be the same one." Ayun said firmly.
Maomao was still silent, and the only sound in the dark room was the sound of General Mo playing games.
"Mo Qing, do your best." Ayun encouraged.
"Okay... Once I've mastered a few commonly used heroes and moved up the ranks, I'll go practice in the modern world and make money." General Mo carefully found a small notebook and recorded the key points he discovered while playing the game.
"Not bad, you can send more voice messages, maybe you can attract a few rich women." Concubine Rong praised.
"I will work hard!" General Mo nodded.
The scene was very touching for a time.
Every cat is working hard for a better tomorrow.
The censor doctor and Zhuangyuan Mao went out to take classes, planning to make money by giving extra classes to students in the future. The Queen Mother and the Dowager Queen often write and try to contribute to public accounts. Ayun hasn't decided what to do yet, but she can draw, and she used to write very well with calligraphy. She can pick it up again when it becomes more convenient. Concubine Rong felt that she could become a singing anchor, or cover some popular songs. Anyway, all roads lead to Rome, and she would never starve to death.
Everything is developing in an orderly manner, and what He Yu looks forward to most every day is talking to Concubine Rong.
Until one day, he received a call.
"Mr. He, we found your girlfriend."
The phone call spanned mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, breaking He Yu's peaceful life again.
"Okay, I'll pick her up after a while."
He Yu was already thinking about the design of the urn. Ke Jingyan likes the color blue, so buy a sky-blue urn and choose a cemetery with good feng shui. I hope she will be rich, happy and healthy in the next life.
"When are you going to pay your girlfriend's medical bills?"
He Yu was stunned. Is Ke Jingyan still alive?
"Your girlfriend has been unconscious. I hope you will pick her up as soon as possible."
He Yu frowned slightly.
Si Qingyan and Nan Qiao were eavesdropping on the phone call and looked at each other.
Xiao Ke was found!
Dogs' hearing is about 16 times that of humans, and Wangcai can hear it too. She couldn't help but get excited.
I have endured the humiliation and burden for so long! Isn’t it just for a day like this? When will this scumbag man take my mother's body back?
"Okay, I understand." He Yu hung up the phone.
Let's arrange a nursing home for Ke Jingyan when the time comes.
Maybe I should take a look at her.
This fool.
In the evening, He Yu called Concubine Rong, and the two had a pleasant conversation. Concubine Rong is now "successfully divorced" and has adopted several cats. He Yu wants to meet Concubine Rong, but she declines every time.
"By the way, I'm going to travel abroad. Can you help me raise a cat for a few days?"
Concubine Rong had been fishing for so many days, and it was finally time to close the net.
