Chapter 299 His Cat (14)

Finally, when Chen Jiang left, he had a boxy box in his hand.

"Send the contents inside to Chairman Zhu, and tell him that Marshal Li's birthday is coming soon."

"Good boss."

After dealing with the account books left today, Du Shiling sat quietly in the study for a long time in silence, slowly rubbing the jade ring on the index finger with the thumb of his left hand, expressionless on his cold face.

"Meow~"

A shallow meow pulled him out of the silence.

The man lowered his eyes, and immediately noticed the white cat that had jumped onto the coffee table at some point. It was looking over quietly. After the eyes of one person and one cat met, the white cat jumped lightly and nimbly onto Du Shiling's lap .

The bell rang, and it was extraordinarily crisp in this silent study room.

Du Shiling stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the white cat's head, followed by holding it up and walking out of the study.

Du San waited outside holding an umbrella, and when the master came out, he walked forward holding the umbrella.

"Master, it's snowing outside, you should wear more clothes."

"Down again?"

The man raised his eyes and looked through the corridor. Along the row of bright lanterns hanging on the roof of the corridor, he saw the snowflakes hazy in the lights, falling obliquely one by one, and being blown by the wind on the roof of the corridor. , making a crackling sound.

"Master, what's so interesting about this snow, you should go back to the house and rest."

Du Shiling didn't speak, but went straight to the end of the corridor, stood on the steps and stretched out his hand slowly, the soft light hit his body, and pieces of crystal clear snowflakes also fell gently on his fingertips.

Before the snowflakes melted, Du Shiling withdrew his hand, held the snowflakes on his fingers, and poked the white cat's nose directly.

Ding Bao was drowsy, but was suddenly awakened by the coldness on the tip of her nose. Her pupils dilated and dissatisfied, she stretched out her paws to wipe the melted snow on her nose, and let out a low and continuous "wow".

"Ha ha……"

Du Shiling's laughter came from above his head, and he looked very happy and cheerful.

Ding Bao: "..."

In Du San's eyes, this scene was extremely rare.

Ever since the elder master and the eldest madam passed away, and the young master supported the entire Du family by himself, he had never seen such a relaxed expression on the master's face.

Although dipping snow on the cat's nose seemed a little naughty, Du San finally saw the shadow of his master when he was a child.

From this point of view, this white cat is really destined to be destined with the master.

In the second half of the night, the heavy snow will stop, and the whole Lincheng will be shrouded in darkness. In this freezing weather, even the wild dogs on the side of the road will curl up in groups and fall asleep.

The lantern hanging on the door of Du's house was burning quietly.

Just when everything was shrouded in silence, the lantern firmly hanging on the roof of the porch suddenly fell without warning, the box full of lamp oil was knocked over, and the candle flame spread along the lantern shelf little by little Seeing the kerosene spilled all over the floor, the moment it encountered the kerosene, the tongue of flame suddenly sprang up and rushed towards the door next to it.

While everyone was already asleep, the flames quietly surrounded the entire main courtyard until the huge smoke woke up the night watchman who was secretly dozing off.

He coughed twice, then opened his eyes in a daze to see the red light not far away.

After seeing everything in front of him clearly, the night watchman felt his whole body was stiff and his mind was in a daze. After a few seconds of stunned, he opened his voice and shouted in panic.

"Fire! The main courtyard is on fire!!"

Du San was so frightened that he immediately jumped up from the bed. He stumbled out of the bed and walked out of the house barefoot. When he saw the house shrouded in flames, a thought flashed through his mind.

"It's over!!"

The master drank, and drank a lot, he must still be sleeping in it!

-

Du Shiling's capacity for alcohol is not good, and he usually has enough for a drink when he has nothing to do, but this time he met Li Yuanxi, who has an amazing capacity for alcohol, so he was inevitably persuaded to drink two more glasses.

So when he felt the wet touch constantly sliding across his face, the man frowned, but didn't open his eyes.

"Meow meow--"

A cat's meow that surpassed that of a cat kept echoing in the ears, accompanied by the wetness and numbness that slid across the cheeks, all of which were constantly hitting Du Shiling's nerves paralyzed by alcohol.

His face was a little pale, a thin layer of sweat oozes from his forehead, the wings of his nose are constantly opening and closing, and the eyeballs under the tightly closed eyelids are moving rapidly.

"Meow meow meow……"

The meowing sound became more and more anxious, and Du Shiling only felt a dull feeling in his chest.

"Cough cough!!"

Suddenly, he finally woke up with a start, and there was a ray of fiery red light in his shallow pupils.

It was at this moment that Du Shiling fully woke up. He felt the pungent smoke covering his body, as well as the ever-approaching heat.

on fire!

The man's heart tightened slightly, he got up and was about to get out of bed when he found the white cat crawling on his lap.

This little thing didn't run away?

"Meow~"

Du Shiling hugged the white cat in his arms and carefully observed the current fire.

The bedroom he lives in is divided into two rooms, the outside is the small living room, and the inside is the living room. At this time, the small living room has been completely engulfed by the flames, and more than half of the living room has been burned. The flames continue to move towards his big bed. near.

Seeing this situation, Du Shiling turned around and walked to the bathroom beside him, followed by him putting down the white cat in his hand, just as he was about to reach out and open the window in the bathroom, suddenly there was a burning sensation from his fingertips, and when he retracted, the original white index finger It was red all over, the subcutaneous was faintly yellow, and blisters soon appeared.

The metal lock on the window has been roasted like a soldering iron, and the back has been scorched by the heat wave. Big drops of sweat have slid down Du Shiling's forehead, and the back has already been soaked.

Looking around, he picked up a towel and wrapped it in his hand, and opened the lock on the window through the thick cloth.

The moment the window was opened, a gust of cool wind rushed in.

Du Shiling breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the iron railing inlaid outside the window, stretched out his hand and pushed it, but it couldn't be moved at all.

The gap in the railing is not big, and only one arm can barely be stretched out.

It must be whimsical to want to go out from here, but fortunately, there is no need to worry about being roasted alive for the time being.

Thinking of this, Du Shiling turned his head, looked at the quiet white cat, followed by him reaching out to pick it up and sending it out of the window.

"Go out."

Du Shiling put it on the window sill, and the gap between the iron railings was enough for it to get out.

The white cat looked at the man calmly, then got out of the crack without looking back, watching the white figure jump down from the window sill, Du Shiling pursed his lips slightly and murmured.

"A heartless little thing."

However, survival is an animal's instinct. It is not bad that it can wake him up even when the fire is about to devour him.
