The Cat and the King [Interstellar]

"He's sick, let the doctor come." Ren said as soon as he landed, he carried the little orc into his tent, wrapped him in a quilt into a ball, and sat beside him waiting for the doctor to arrive.

"General, your clothes..."

When he jumped down from the tree just now, the branch caught Ren's left trousers and tore a big hole, exposing the metal bracket inside.

The force that the legs need to bear when jumping directly from the tree with a person is terrible. The reason why Ren can complete it without changing his face is because his left leg is made of machinery. An encounter in his childhood caused him to lose his left leg. His calf can only walk with the help of a mechanical support implanted in the flesh.

When everyone thought that the genius was about to fall, he returned to everyone's sight after being silent for a long time after undergoing surgery. Not only did his left leg not hinder him, but it made him stronger.

"The doctor is here." The sergeant opened the door of the tent. He hadn't seen anyone taken care of by the general for a long time, but this time seemed to be an exception.

When the tent was opened, Ren was feeding water to the orc with a kettle. The orc's face was burning red, and his hands were trapped in the quilt, but he needed that little bit of water physiologically, so he raised his head slightly, The eyes are still closed, but the neck will move slowly with the kettle.

Ren seemed to find it interesting, and intentionally took the kettle a little farther away. The little beast frowned slightly, then stretched out its tongue and licked its lips, curling itself up aggrieved.

The doctor didn't go in or didn't go in outside the door, until the sergeant coughed.

Ren turned his head and saw the two of them.

"Come in." Reverting to that cold look again, he stood up with his crutches and gave up his position to the doctor.

The doctor didn't dare to delay, and checked the little orc with the electronic equipment he carried with him, then stood up and laughed.

"It's not a big problem, but it's possible that the previous living habits were eating raw meat. For the first time, I had some reactions when I ate the seasoned cooked food in the army, or I was allergic to some things. I'll have to do further tests to find out. Wait until I get some medicine. If you take it and take it, the symptoms of allergic reaction will be weakened."

Fortunately, it was not a serious illness, otherwise, according to their current medical level, it would be barely enough to prescribe some medicine. The large medical equipment was also shut down due to insufficient energy. How should he explain to the general...

"Well, let's go out, and let the sergeant bring the medicine later." Ren looked at the doctor, and the doctor who saw him felt nervous, and quickly rolled up the quilt and pulled the sergeant out of the tent together.

Before leaving, the non-commissioned officer took a sneak peek, and Ren sat down next to the little orc again, tidied the quilt, and stretched out his hand hesitantly, as if intending to rub his belly through the quilt.

Ren felt a little guilty. He let him eat the boxed lunch. If it was someone else, Ren would not have any reaction, but it was this simple little orc who had a fever and felt uncomfortable. Looking at his weak state, Lei En En always felt that he had bullied him and needed to do something to make it up.

Slowly kneading with both hands across the quilt, three circles to the left and three circles, very regular, and the strength is also appropriate. The comfortable little orc groaned a few times, and seemed to feel less uncomfortable.

There is still a long time before the daytime, Renn sleeps less, and the bed is occupied by others. After mixing the medicine with water and giving it to the orcs, he just sits with a book and reads it when he has nothing to do. Continue to slowly rub the orc's stomach with one hand.

In a daze, Ren heard a few cat meows, a gentle voice, a warm body leaned over and kissed Ren's bearded left cheek affectionately, which is the way of expressing gratitude between animals , very gentle and pious.

Ren suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to meet the eyes of the little orc who was close at hand. He rushed to the distance in a panic, and looked at Ren with vigilance again.

It's like a cat...

Ren smiled slightly and felt that this wild child in the wilderness was extremely cute.

Already daylight?Ren was surprised when he realized this fact, because he hadn’t slept for such a long time in a long time, enough rest made Ren feel refreshed, picked up his crutches, and Ren went out of the tent to inform the sergeant that he could go back to work after a little rectification. let's go.

The trousers were torn yesterday because of saving the little orc. General Renn, who had strict requirements on his dress, took out his spare clothes from his luggage, and changed into his trousers in front of the little orc without hesitation.

Although Ren was particular about it, he came out of the army after all. Men changing clothes in front of men was something that recruits would encounter every day at that time. Naturally, there was nothing to avoid.

The little orc sat there far away, watching Ren took off his pants and tilted his head curiously, but his eyes did not move away but looked more carefully. It was the first time he saw a man who looked so similar to himself. species.

Walking upright, with two legs, exactly the same as myself, um...it's the same there!

Lifting up his fur, the little orc stared at the big guy for a while and then looked at the big guy under Ren's underwear, his mood suddenly became a little depressed.

Ren, who had been observing the little orc, felt a little amused. He stood up and walked over to rub his head. This little guy has soft hair. Although it looks a little yellowish due to malnutrition, the magical feel is not bad. Just now Seeing a few acacias tied to the little orc's fur, he should be a clean kid.Before the little orc was angry, he immediately took his hand away and walked out of the tent.

Because there are people leading them, the marching speed is very fast. The wasteland in the dry season is very lonely. The vultures that occasionally fly in the sky are always paying attention to the ground. Once they find the creatures that are about to lose their vitality, they wait quietly in the distance.

Water is the most precious thing here, so when the blue ribbon was seen from a distance, the whole team began to boil, but having water also means danger. In the dry season, the surrounding wild animals almost depend on this river for survival. And the strong go first is the constant rule here.

The eager herd of beasts stared vigilantly at the approaching troops, and the little orc howled in that direction. His good eyesight allowed him to observe the herd of beasts and found that there was no mother leopard, so he was relieved.

The little orc was still wondering whether the old leopard would allow him to come into contact with this group of strangers from the desert.

During the dry season, the animals along the river always tacitly abide by their laws, and only when they are by the river can they coexist peacefully temporarily.

The wolves retreated to one side, and the little orc knelt down reverently after confirming his safety, with his neck stretched out in a nice shape, his hands resting on the ground, and his head buried in the water, gulping down water.

Ren took the kettle, took off his gloves and quickly rolled up his sleeves, then squatted down to scoop up a large pot of water and covered it, then raised his head, just in line with the shining eyes of the little orc, he looked curiously at the water in Ren's hand Kettle, his long hair was tied behind with a straw rope, his face was covered with water beads, his eyes stayed on the kettle for a long time, and then he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Give it to you." Ren stretched out his hand and handed over the kettle.Seeing him slowly approaching Ren and bending his arms quietly, the orc was no longer able to get closer slowly, so close that Ren could grab him as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Like teasing a small animal, the major general gently grabbed him, and then pinched his face gently.Seeing him put the kettle back in his frustration, he calmed down instantly.

"Crack!" A non-commissioned officer not far away lost his grip and dropped his gun to the ground with a shake of his hand. The sensitive wilderness animals immediately looked at him, and the atmosphere became tense.

"Wow~~" The little orc yelled at the other animals a few times, indicating that it was not dangerous.The sergeant picked up the gun in fear, and couldn't hide the surprise on the faces of the two people in the distance.

His obsession with cleanliness requires a strict and unsmiling major general, he took off his gloves on his own initiative, and went to grab a dirty face.And gave away the water bottle you used?

Facts have proved that the refresh of the world view may only take a few seconds.

The arrogant little beast ignored him when he got the water bottle. Ren watched the little leopard jump away in disappointment, and the team set off again after replenishing the water source by the river.

The rest of the journey was flat and uneventful. Except that Ren kept trying to get close to the little beast and failed, everything else was the same as before. No, there was a little difference. Ren had fallen asleep peacefully for two consecutive nights. For the major general, it was a novel and sweet thing, after all, the mental illness caused by sleep had tortured him for a long time.

Finally, on the third day, they arrived at their destination, which was a mountain range. The machine detected traces of energy in the cave, and then began to collect it. The efficiency of the machine is always much faster than that of manpower, and it takes about half a day. A large amount of ore was condensed to form energy crystals one by one.

They are about to return, and the parting from the native guide will soon come.

At night, Ren stood against the trees, and the little orc squatted quietly by the side, looking up at the stars in the sky.

"Why don't you come with me, I'll take you to Emperor Star."

During the few days we spent together, Ren found that this child was innocent but very smart. Although he didn't know why it appeared here, it was a pity that he just stayed in such a barren place.

His world should be wider.

As if understanding what Ren meant, the orc shook his head, then howled shortly at the moon, then walked forward a few steps, looked back at Ren, and disappeared within Ren's sight.

Ren didn't expect him to leave. He thought this guy was just playing leisurely in a place he couldn't see, and then suddenly appeared at a certain time, but he didn't see him again until the morning. Probably, cats like leopards have always been I don't like warm things, and when I left, I didn't remember it. When I left, I took the old water bottle from Rennes, and the military uniform pants that Rennes tore when he saved the little orc, even the shortest None of the farewells.

Along with the psychological loss, Ren began to suffer from insomnia every day and night.

Where did the orcs go?

He didn't leave, but followed far behind the team, with the water bottle that Renn gave him hanging around his neck, and his pants were casually tied around his waist, quietly guarding behind.

This kind of warm protection is probably only able to be done by cats. He will watch the team return to the vicinity of the warship, and then leave quietly.

He belongs to this land, and he has a mother who raised him, so he will never leave.

Although he can't speak, he loves this land with his life, no matter how cruel the wasteland is.

After sending off the warship troops, the little orcs are ready to return to their territory.

The same kind can always find each other easily. Seeing the leopard on the tree in the distance, the little orc proudly shook his water bottle and ran towards his mother...

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Questionnaire;

When was the first kiss?

Orc: Did I forget?Around Christmas, the day I graduate from college?

Ren smiled: No, earlier, I gave you a water bottle when we met for the first time, and we have kissed indirectly every day since that day.
