The silver-gray snake slough lay quietly under the grass nest, like a discarded linen strip. The fine scales shone with mysterious colors in the cat's eyes.
Perhaps because it was close to the lake and full of water vapor, the snake's slough seemed a bit slippery. This was also the reason why the black cat had not stepped firmly on it and slipped on the ground.
The two black and white cats who were originally fighting stopped when they saw the snake shedding.
Nothing else, just because this snake shed is the trace left by Liu Feifei's pet snake that everyone has been looking for for a long time. Zheng Qing, Jiang Yu and others have seen the snake more than once, and the smell is the same, and they are determined not to admit it.
of.
The two cats were silent for a few seconds. The little white cat screamed and ran away. In a blink of an eye, he got into the bushes and disappeared without a trace from the black cat's eyes.
Zheng Qing reacted for a while before realizing the fact that the little white cat had run away.
"It's just a snake slough, not a real snake, how could it be so scared?!" The black cat shook his beard and muttered to himself. He thought the little white cat was scared away by the snake slough.
.This is not surprising. For a little white cat about a foot tall, Liu Feifei's pet snake as thick as an arm is naturally scary enough. Even the residual breath of the snake's slough is enough to scare away most insects and small animals by the lake.
Maybe next time he should wrap a snake slough around his neck to see if that lawless little white cat still dares to touch him? This thought floated in Zheng Qing's heart.
Of course, for him, those tricky thoughts just flashed through his mind. His more important task now is to inform several companions of the Exoneration Hunting Team of the location of the snake's slough - so
He didn't care to pursue the matter of the little white cat's escape.
However, it is a problem for Zheng Qing where the people in the search team are now. Although he mentioned the search at night when chatting with Xiao Xiao and others earlier, he only asked briefly and did not go into details.
Route. I only know that the team will eventually go to Pavilion No. 27 today.
After hesitating in place for a while, Black Cat finally decided to go to Pavilion No. 27 and wait for everyone.
But before leaving, he still needed to do a little work. After the black cat looked around, he stood up, picked up some dead grass from the grass nest next to him, and covered it with the snake's slough to cover it up.
, lest after he leaves, the snake will be harmed by some ignorant little animal.
After a while, the black cat swung its tail and disappeared silently into the quiet night.
On the other side, the little white cat, Jiang Yu, was not scared away by the snake. Like Zheng Qing, she also immediately discovered the origin of the snake. But unlike Zheng Qing, she knew that she was going to go there tonight.
Where can I find a hunting party?
In the few seconds of silence, Jiang Mao Mao thought about whether to reveal her identity to Zheng Qing so that the two cats could work together to deal with the emergency. But on the one hand, she was not as good at talking as Zheng Qing, so how to communicate was a problem.
A big problem; on the other hand, she later realized that even if she didn't tell Zheng Qing her identity, Zheng Qing would take good care of the snake.
This is why the little white cat can run extremely decisively without any sloppiness.
She needs to bring the search team to the scene as soon as possible - the wizard's work still needs to be handled by the wizard, and there is no way for the two cats to continue tracking.
For this reason, she dared to face a group of howling big cats again.
Fortunately, when she came to the cat fruit tree for the second time, she happened to see Li Meng and others leaving. However, her cat had short legs, so she could see it from a distance, but she couldn't catch up for a while.
In addition, the group of male cats on the cat fruit tree saw the little white cat coming back and thought she had figured it out. They were so happy that they fell down from the tree and chased after the little white cat.
Jiang Mao had to dodge left and right, getting covered in grass clippings and dust before finally escaping.
When she caught up with Li Meng and others again, they had already arrived at Pavilion No. 27 in the Huanfu Corridor. On the wooden chair on one side of the pavilion, a certain black cat happened to be lying there leisurely, lazily.
waiting for them.
Looking at the familiar black cat lying on the long wooden chair, the corners of Xiao Xiao's eyes twitched. He really comes to whatever he's afraid of, and I don't know if this black cat did anything 'scary' tonight.
matter.
At this moment, Li Meng's exclamation came to his ears.
Looking back, Xiao Xiao happened to see a white figure passing by and pounced on the black cat on the bench. In the blink of an eye, the black cat rolled down from the bench in a panic and was hit by an angry little cat.
The white cat scratched the messy hair on its head and face.
Jiang Maomao felt that he had enough reasons to be angry.
She ran so hard all the way, avoiding those fussy male cats, and her mouth was dry from barking. She finally found the team, but she saw a certain black cat lying there comfortably.
Is there anything more annoying than this?!
"Duck! Duck!! Be careful, don't let the black cat scratch my cousin... cousin's new kitten!!" Li Meng bit her tongue and finished her sentence.
As she spoke, she threw the stuffed bear in her arms to the ground, kicked her little leather shoes and ran between the black cat and the white cat. She tried hard to hold the little white cat in her arms to isolate herself from the black cat.
The distance between cats.
"I think the black cat needs to be more worried!" Nicholas complained very objectively: "As far as I saw, the black cat was scratched badly by the little white cat... Are you sure they are not planning to mate?"
"no!"
"impossible!"
Li Meng and Xiao Xiao denied in unison, and then glanced at each other in unison. At the same time, the black cat and the white cat also heard Nicholas's words. The white cat's ears perked up, and he glared at an old student fiercely, with a lump in his throat.
It made a dangerous sound; and the black cat tugged its ears, with a hint of helplessness on its face.
"Oh, those eyes are really full of murderous intent." Nicholas noticed the little white cat's eyes and couldn't help but shuddered: "Animals in estrus are very aggressive... what the book said is true."
"Shut up! Can't you just say a few words?" Li Meng hugged the little white cat tightly in her arms and shouted angrily: "Don't you see I'm busy now?!"
Nicholas blinked, feeling that the little witch's anger was unreasonable, so he could only shrug his shoulders innocently.
Xiao Xiao coughed softly, moved quietly in front of the black cat, stood between the black cat and the others, and explained the reason for his denial: "If the cat wants to mate, he won't be as rough as before.
's...and it's impossible for these two cats to be so different in size!"
The first sentence he said was a bit vague, but the next sentence was very definite.
Li Meng nodded quickly and gave Xiao Xiao a hundred thumbs up for this timely explanation: "Yes, yes, that's it."
Nicholas glanced at the two of them suspiciously, always feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
