Those days when I was reborn as a cat

Hearing this, Lu Yi knew that Diane was going to tell him the story of the boy in the photo, so he bent down to pick up Lu Yu and sit on the sofa, and touched the cat's head to calm it down.

Lu Yu licked his paws, "Meow, for Uncle Diane's sake, I'll spare you this time. If I scare the cat next time, I'll scratch all the shoes in the house!"

Upon seeing this, Senwu jumped onto the sofa. He was very dissatisfied with Lu Yu being taken away from him. He straightened up his upper body and grabbed Lu Yi's arm. He meow meow and put the little raccoon down.

Lu Yi was so disturbed that he had to let go of his arms, and Lu Yu jumped out. However, he did not run away, but stayed on the sofa next to Senwu. The cat also wanted to hear Uncle Diane's story.

Senwu had no objection. He agreed with everything Lu Yu did. He hugged the little civet flower and licked the messed up hair with his tongue. The big black cat was very good at licking its fur, and Lu Yu soon began to snore comfortably.

Diane picked up the Swordsman building block with missing parts. Although it was exposed to the air, there was no dust on the surface of the building block. It seemed that the owner had repeatedly wiped and cared for it every day, and some of the original sharp edges had even been touched smooth.

Even in the face of his closest family and friends, Diane rarely talked about that incident with them. He was a stubborn and strong person, and he didn't want to see the sympathy in everyone's eyes after listening to the story, especially since sympathy cannot change What.

Rather than weakly crying, he was more accustomed to confessing to his shadow late at night when he couldn't sleep. But for some reason, seeing Lu Yi playing around with the human-minded civet cat today, he suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to. .

Dai An was silent, and Lu Yi didn't make a sound to urge him. The only sound in the living room was the purring of the little raccoon dog.

Lu Yu tilted his ears and waited, meowing softly.

This meow touched Diane's confiding button.

He gently put down the swordsman block and took a deep breath: "Our family has been hunters for generations. After I inherited my father's mantle, I went to the mountains and forests to hunt small animals such as rabbits, pheasants, and foxes."

Diane smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was young and energetic. When I entered the mountains, I would go wherever there was danger and where there were plenty of prey. In my eyes, those who respected nature and gave up when things were good were all cowardly excuses."

Lu Yu looked at Senwu when he heard this: "Will the lords also allow humans to hunt in the mountains?"

Senwu spat out the hair combed from his mouth: "Humans are animals too. They can hunt, just like us cats can eat mice and birds. As long as they are not greedy or excessive, it is allowed."

"In fact, I was indeed the best hunter in the village at that time. No matter how cunning the prey was or how dangerous the woodland was, I could bring the prey back safely." Diane said slowly: "Later, the country banned hunting, and I You already know that Jin Pen washes his hands and runs a meat stall."

Lu Yi nodded.

Diane's lips were a little dry, so he licked them: "My son's accident occurred before the country banned hunting. I remember that it was his sixth birthday not long ago. The child regarded me as a role model since he was a child, and he also wanted to be a good person. Hunter, he said, his birthday wish is that I can take him hunting in the mountains."

The man who had always been regarded by his son as an omnipotent god naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

"His mother strongly opposed it. Hunting requires a high degree of concentration. When you find prey, you have to chase it immediately. How can I have time to take care of a child?" Diane's voice gradually became tight and bitter, "But at that time I was so arrogant. Do you think I can’t protect a child with my abilities? It’s because my wife thinks too much and is too nervous about her son.”

After hearing this, Lu Yi was vaguely aware of what happened next. He stood up, helped Diane sit down, and patted his hand: "Don't say anything you don't want to say."

It’s hard to stop talking when the conversation is open.

Diane raised her head with red eyes: "I secretly took him up the mountain. It was good at first. He followed me closely. We shot several hares and pheasants, and they were all killed with one shot of the shotgun. I only had to hold him. Just use your hand to pick it up. He was very happy and said that Dad is the most powerful person in the world."

"I didn't expect that when we were going down the mountain, we actually encountered a wild boar." Diane continued, "I asked him to hide where he was, and used a shotgun to attract the wild boar's attention and lure it away. But after I finally got rid of it, The boar returned and he was gone.”

"I was confused at the time, and I hurriedly searched everywhere. At that time, communications were not that developed. I was afraid that I would miss him when I went down the mountain to ask for help, so I searched for him on the mountain for a long time. When it got dark, I realized that it was too efficient for me to do it alone. Low, run down the mountain to find help.”

Diane's eyes were straight and his lips were trembling: "The village quickly organized people to go into the mountain overnight, and finally found him under a cliff early the next morning. Already..."

Lu Yi pursed his lips tightly and hugged the vulnerable old man into his arms.

"I found out later that he was really well-behaved. He didn't go far while he was waiting. Maybe he was frightened by something while waiting for me. In a panic, he stepped on the nearby weeds and fell off the cliff. His thigh was pierced by a branch. , blood stained half of his body red."

Diane tried hard to suppress her emotions, her voice was like window paper torn by the wind, scarred: "It's my fault. If I hadn't brought him into the mountains, he wouldn't have had an accident. It's all my fault."

Lu Yu, who had been listening quietly, had mixed feelings in his heart. Alas, it turns out that being alone away from the crowd is probably a way of atonement for Uncle Diane. At least it can make him feel better.

Feeling sad, Lu Yu subconsciously rubbed his head against Senwu's chin, meowing, meowing, the cat's furry fur is indeed a good medicine to heal the soul! Senwu squinted his eyes, and the little raccoon flower took the initiative to get closer to make him feel happy, and his tail swayed slightly.

Lu Yi handed Diane a cup of warm tea: "What happens next?" He could tell that this was not the end of the story.

Diane held the warm tea cup and continued: "My wife hated me so much that she divorced me."

"Later, when I was packing up my child's belongings, I discovered that there was a small wooden sword missing from the Swordsman building block. He treasured this building block and often carried the small wooden sword with him as a talisman. So I went to ask the people in charge of the rescue at the time, and they all said I didn’t pay that much attention in that scene, maybe it fell on the mountain.”

"From then on, I would go up the mountain to look for it when I was free. I knew that such a small thing, after so many years, might have been buried or taken away by animals, but people should always hold on to it. Only with hope can we live with peace of mind." Diane looked at the swordsman blocks and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"The only good news is that the building blocks have been specially treated. Otherwise, after so many years, they would have turned into soil."

Lu Yi wanted to say something, but felt that whatever he said was pretentious. Diane was a rational person, and he was sober enough to do something that might not lead to hope until his death.

"Okay, don't show that expression." On the contrary, the expression on Diane's face became more relaxed, and he pushed away the chair and stood up.

He hadn't talked to anyone for a long time. After telling the whole story today, the depression in his heart was slightly relieved, "Thank you very much for listening to me. It's just dinner time. I'll steam some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and make some grilled ribs. You Stay and eat with me.”

Hearing this, Lu Yi walked into the kitchen with him: "I'll help you." Revealing the sad past was very draining on his mind and body, and he couldn't bear to let Diane cook alone under such circumstances.

Lu Yu blinked. Did Lu Yi forget that he was an idiot in the kitchen? He might not be helpful if he went in, right?

Thinking of the previous pots of food that Lu Yi was so excited that he couldn't see the shape, Lu Yu couldn't wait any longer. He got up and jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen door to look around. He found that Lu Yi was really just a mastermind, and it was Dai An who was cooking the ingredients. Only then did it slowly walk back to the living room, wagging its tail with confidence.

It looks like tonight’s dinner won’t be a disaster. Lu Yu meowed and said to Senwu: "You can eat with us tonight. The pork ribs cooked by Uncle Diane must be delicious!" As he spoke, the saliva in his mouth began to secrete.

Lu Yu looked at Senwu expectantly and waited for it to agree. For the domesticated one, Lu Shi had prepared every meal for him. However, Senwu had to go hunting in the wild to complete his three meals. Usually at this time, Senwu would set off soon. Hunted.

Sen Wu raised the corners of his mouth: "Do you want me to stay and have dinner with you?"

Lu Yu nodded vigorously: "I think so!"

Senwu walked over and rubbed Little Lihua's forehead, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll stay and have dinner with you."

Hearing what Senwu said, Lu Yu was so happy that he raised his head and rubbed Senwu's chin. He only knew that he could stay with the big black cat for a little longer. He was very happy, but he didn't delve into why he was happy.

Senwu rarely eats food donated by humans. In its philosophy, it is natural for strong wild cats to catch food on their own. You mean a meat stall? The meat at the butcher stall is obtained by working with Little Lihua, which is considered a special way of hunting.

Tonight's meal of ribs was a waste of money. Senwu had the perseverance of a beast. He thought for a while and said, "I can ask everyone to help find that small wooden sword."

Lu Yu, who originally simply asked Senwu to stay for dinner, didn't expect it to say that. Hearing this, he circled around Senwu in surprise: "Meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow." Is it true? Do you have any idea?

Senwu stretched out his claws to hold Lu Yu's little head, and said with a smile: "I can't guarantee that I will find it, but the information between animals is definitely better than that of humans, and there are some places that only animals can set foot on."

Lu Yu hugged Senwu's paw and licked it fiercely: "This is already good. At least we have tried hard, and there will be no regrets whether we succeed or fail. Thank you, Senwu!"

Uncle Diane is a very nice person, and just now he was wondering if he could be of any help.

Senwu pressed Lu Yu's cheek with his claws, pulled the whole kitten into his arms and hugged him: "Good boy, you never have to say thank you to me." It is natural to try to meet your partner's requirements as much as possible.

Lu Yu, who didn't know the truth, was moved to tears. He decided to give a piece of the ribs in the bowl to Senwu later. If Uncle Diane knew that Senwu wanted to help find Xiaomu Jian, he would definitely be willing. Not to mention a piece of ribs, a whole piece of ribs. The whole pig is no problem!

In a dimly lit and warm room, an old man and a young man were busy at the dining table. Potatoes and sweet potatoes were steaming in the basket, the ribs were roasted until they were sizzling with oil, and white sesame seeds were sprinkled on the surface. Pour hot oil onto a plate, and a simple and delicious dinner is ready.

Diane bent down and placed the separated ribs in front of the two cats: "You can eat your portion and be satisfied."

Lu Yu meowed softly and rubbed Dai An's leg to express his gratitude, then immediately buried his head in the food bowl and started to devour it.

Their grilled pork ribs are fragrant and tender, and the meat is juicy and slightly charred and crispy when you bite into it. With a slight salty taste, it is simply delicious!

Senwu took out a piece and lay aside to eat it slowly, occasionally licking his paws and mouth. By the time he finished eating one piece, Lu Yu had already swept away the few pieces of ribs in front of him.

Lu Yu didn't have a big appetite and soon felt full. He knew that it would be uncomfortable if he forced himself to eat, so he had to lick his mouth and regretfully stopped. He sat in front of the food bowl and licked his paws to clean himself after cooking.

Seeing that Lu Yu stopped eating, Senwu stood up and walked to the food bowl and started eating. The ribs were reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the food bowl was emptied after a while.

Lu Yu had just finished cleaning here. When he saw this, he went up to lick Senwu's hair, especially the hair on his chest. When he lowered his head to eat, he got grease and sesame. Lu Yu was busy and got it here. Lick it off! It’s stained here too, lick it off!

Senwu sat upright and enjoyed the licking of the little civet. You can tell how happy he was at this time from the large swing of his tail.

Diane poked her head out to see that the two cats were not eating enough, and found that the food bowl was empty and the two cats were licking each other's fur: "They have such a good relationship."

When Lu Yi heard this, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly: "No, the good boy almost ran away to someone else's den!"

She clings so tightly and licks her back and forth, like a big black cat's little wife.

Dai An had experienced a lot, and he immediately understood the meaning of Lu Mi's words, and laughed: "Isn't it bad to have multiple cats pampering my dear boy? From the look of the big black cat, he must be the lord of the same territory, my dear boy. With its protection, you can feel more at ease when you go out to play."

"You haven't seen how ferocious it is when it fights for my cubs." Lu Yi shook his head and took a bite of the potato in his hand, as if it were the head of a big black cat.

Diane laughed: "Why are you jealous of a cat?"

His eyes fell on Senwu and he murmured: "It would be great if the big black cat is really the lord of the mountain forest. If it is willing to help me find the small wooden sword..."

Seeing Senwu twitching his ears and looking at him, Diane suddenly woke up and couldn't help laughing: "What nonsense am I talking about." He turned around, picked up a piece of ribs, and started eating.
