When Chen Ronghuo stood at the gate of the courtyard and said goodbye to Huang Tiesheng and others, with a meow, a tabby cat with fur the same color as tiger skin jumped over the wooden fence and ran straight to Chen Ronghuo's house.
Seeing this scene, Huang Tiesheng awkwardly explained to Chen Ronghuo: "This house originally belonged to a family named Tian in our Xiahe Village. That family moved to Hongyu Village a year ago, and the house became vacant.
This tabby cat belongs to their family, but these days people don’t have enough to eat, let alone keep a cat.
I haven't seen this cat for a while, and I thought it was dead, but when I was cleaning the room, I found that it was still here."
"It's okay." Chen Ronghuo said nonchalantly, "It's just a cat. If it wants to live here, it can live here. I quite like these little animals."
"That's good."
Huang Tiesheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he and several others said goodbye to Chen Ronghuo and left.
"Goodbye, master."
Huang Xiaoshan waved to Chen Ronghuo.
"See you."
Chen Ronghuo smiled gently.
After a few people left, he grabbed the yellow wooden bow, walked slowly to the yard, opened the door, and walked in.
This is an ordinary mud house. There is no paving such as bricks and stones on the ground, just ordinary black soil, which is not very smooth.
The outer room is equipped with a stove for cooking, and connected to the outer room are two rooms of about the same size.
Each room has an earthen kang, two cupboards, wooden stools and tables.
But other than that, there's nothing else.
After entering the house, Chen Ronghuo's eyes fell on several irregular red stones placed next to the lampstand.
[Red Flint: Rubbing each other can ignite a short-lived flame.]
Before finishing the meal, he came to this room to see it, so he was somewhat familiar with it. He walked to the lampstand, picked up the two pieces of red flint on the side, put them together and rubbed them gently.
In an instant, a wisp of flame was generated between the two pieces of red flint. The flame was generated very fast, which startled Chen Ronghuo. However, he reacted quickly, put the flint in front of the oil lamp, and lit the wick.
A larger flame formed, lighting up the entire room.
At the same time, the flames among the flints quickly extinguished.
Meow.
Suddenly, a cat meowed in the silent room.
Chen Ronghuo turned his head and saw the big tabby cat he had seen outside before, seeming to be frightened by the fire, as it poked its head out of the quilt Huang Tiesheng had prepared for him.
"You will enjoy it."
Seeing the appearance of this tabby cat, Chen Ronghuo was speechless for a while.
The tabby cat stared at him with a pair of orange eyes, as if it was wary of him.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Chen Ronghuo didn't care whether the cat could understand or not, and spoke again.
Then he exhaled slowly in one breath and focused his gaze on the yellow wood bow with ancient patterns in his hand, ignoring the tabby cat occupying his warm bed.
"Fire the bow ten thousand times with all your strength?"
After pondering for a moment, he took a stance in the room.
He was wearing sportswear, not a suit, so it didn't bother him at all.
Buzz!
When General Chen Ronghuo used nearly all his body strength to pull the yellow wooden bow apart, he felt the huge force on the bow string and could no longer bear it. He let go of his hand, and as the bow string bounced back, the whole bow suddenly vibrated.
"This bow is just like a toy to a formal warrior, but for me, even if I want to draw the bow to its full capacity, I still can't do it. This shows the gap between me and a formal warrior."
After pulling the bow with all his strength once, Chen Ronghuo took a deep breath and pulled the bow a second time.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...
In the small house, bows sounded.
However, Chen Ronghuo, who was immersed in shooting the bow, did not notice that when he fired the first bow, the whole body of the tabby cat occupying his bed suddenly exploded, and its hair stood up, as if it had grown bigger.
Somewhat ordinary, he stood up from his bed.
It had a pair of cat eyes with a dark green color, staring intently at the bow and arrow in Chen Ronghuo's hand.
It wasn't until Chen Ronghuo fired his second, third, and fourth bow that he yawned, returned to his original state, and lay back down again.
After Chen Ronghuo fired twenty bows, his arms began to get tired. He did not persist, but took a short rest before starting to draw the bow again.
Using all your strength to fire the bow thousands of times is definitely not something you can do in a short time.
This is a long-term matter and must be balanced between work and rest.
Time passed, and I don’t know what time it was at night. Chen Ronghuo, who had fired the bow a thousand times, took a deep breath and threw the yellow wooden bow onto the fire kang. Finally, he couldn’t hold on any longer. He put out the light and climbed onto the kang.
"Hey, little guy, make room for me."
He took off his coat, lifted the quilt, pushed aside the tabby cat occupying the middle position, and then fell down completely.
He had a cat on the Earth Planet and was not averse to cats.
And judging from the touch, the body of this tabby cat is smooth and does not look dirty.
“This guy is so fat, he doesn’t look like he’s not eating well at all.
It's so fat... Can I test the ability of my left hand on it? No... But, why not?
Also, I'm obviously used to using ancient books to identify everything I see, so why didn't I use the identification technique on this cat this time..."
Thoughts flashed through Chen Ronghuo's mind. Halfway through the flash, his eyes were closed, his breathing became heavier, and he fell into a deep sleep.
It’s been a long time since I slept in the same bed with a human being.
The human bed is warm.
But does this guy want to be my new master?
The tabby cat got its head out of the bed, glanced at Chen Ronghuo, who was already sleeping deeply, and suddenly turned its head.
What am I thinking?
Humans are all bad guys and will abandon me when in danger!
Besides, this cat is different and I never want a human owner again!
Meow!
I really want to eat fish, so I have to take action.
The big tabby cat shook its body and came out close to Chen Ronghuo's head. It jumped and landed lightly on the ground without making any sound.
After a few flashes, it disappeared.
Chen Ronghuo, who had fallen into a deep sleep, was completely unaware of all this.
It wasn't until the long night passed and the sun was shining that he opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt a soft body next to him, and at the same time there was a purring sound.
He opened the quilt and took a look and saw the tabby cat sleeping right next to him.
"You guys are not afraid of life at all."
Chen Ronghuo rubbed the tabby cat's head.
The cat opened its sleepy eyes, glanced at Chen Ronghuo, and closed its eyes again.
"You're so sleepy, no wonder you're so fat."
Chen Ronghuo was amused in his heart. He raised both hands and ravaged the big tabby cat's fat body.
