The days of being a cat in Japan

Watching Mrs. Fujimoto take Kenta away, Xu Jie climbed out of the room to the small courtyard, found a place with sufficient light, and while basking in the sun, quietly waited for Mo to appear.

Today's sunshine is very good, and Xu Jie's body is warmed by the light. He just had breakfast, and began to doze off again in the warm sunshine.

When he was sleepy, he suddenly felt that something was blocking the sunlight, and looked up sleepily, only to realize that Mo had arrived at some point.

Shaking his head to shake the sleepy bug away, Xu Jie asked softly after standing up and stretching, "When did you come here? Why didn't you call me?"

Hearing the words, the black cat leaned over, rubbed the top of its head against Xu Jie's cheek and said, "If you're sleepy, go to bed first, don't worry about hunting."

Xu Jie shook his head again and again and said, "I'm not sleepy, I want to learn how to hunt quickly."

Just kidding that the cat sleeps for more than 13 hours a day. When there is no danger, Xu Jie feels that he can almost sleep on the ground.

If he really sleeps enough as Mo said before leaving, then he doesn't need to learn about hunting, he just sleeps until the end of time.

Mo Wenyan thought for a while and said: "Mice rarely come out when the sun is shining. Birds can only be caught in the suburbs. If you want to go out to play, I will take you to a place where you can easily find food. Over there There are also prey to catch, and there are many delicious things."

Xu Jie, who didn't understand anything, naturally wouldn't refute Mo's words, and he readily agreed to the black cat's arrangement.

Seeing that Lihua agreed, Mo stood up and said, "The place we're going first is a bit far away, you have to follow me closely so you don't get lost."

Xu Jie nodded when he heard the words, and the two cats set off like this.

The black cat led Xu Jie through the streets and alleys, and Xu Jie followed behind Mo, only to realize that in every city, wild cats have some inconspicuous cat paths, which they call cat paths.

Streets, walls, roofs, woods and even sewers can all be routes for them to avoid danger and shuttle back and forth in the city.

Xu Jie felt that the place Mo took him this time must not be close to Fujimoto's house, because they had been going around for more than an hour and hadn't reached their destination yet.

On the way, the black cat stopped and asked if it needed water, but Xu Jie refused because he felt thirsty.

Now that the morning was over, the weather started to heat up. After walking such a long distance, Xu Jie already felt a little parched.

Fortunately, Mo said that their destination was coming soon, and it said that crossing another road would be a good place for predation.It is said that there is food and drink there, and it is a very good foraging place for any kind of animal.

Across the road, Xu Jie raised his head and looked at the foraging place that Mo said opposite. On the tall gate was written XX Fishing Market in big gold characters.

Could this be the legendary seafood market?Kenta didn't bring it here, but the black cat brought it here. Could it be that it is destined to have a relationship with seafood today?

However, if cats dare to approach the seafood market, they will definitely be chased away. No stall owner who sells seafood likes to have wild cats roaming around in front of his stall.

Xu Jie, who was thinking wildly, asked the black cat who was still leading the way: "Brother Mo, is the fish market over there the place you said is a good place to hunt? If we go there to hunt, will we be chased away with sticks?" come out?"

Hearing this, the black cat stopped and glanced at the fishing market, and then said: "No way there, although there is a lot of food there, but the guards are tight, we have to go around to the back, where there is both food and safety." .”

The place Mo mentioned was the back door of the fishing market, and it was also the transit point where the market dumped garbage and was ready to be transferred.

Here, cats can easily find a lot of seafood or sea fish that are discarded because they are not fresh. In addition to the workers who collect and transport garbage, it is indeed a very good place for cats to find food.

Xu Jie stared at the piles of rubbish in front of him, dumbfounded, turned his head and said to Mo, "Are we going to practice predation here?"

How to practice if they are all dead?And there are many cats nearby, if they fancy the same thing, will they fight for food?

Mo Wenyan lowered his head, stretched out his tongue and licked Xu Jie's forehead, pressed down the unkempt hair on his head and said: "No, you like to eat fresh and clean food, the food here will not suit your appetite, we I have to go further in."

As it said that, it took Xu Jie around the garbage dump and walked towards the row of bungalows behind the market.

As Xu Jie walked and watched, he felt that the place where the ink belt came from should be the warehouse area of ​​the fish market. People pushing carts can often be seen coming in and out here, pulling various fresh or dried seafood. .

Mo came to a sentry box familiarly, and the gatekeeper who was drinking tea and reading the newspaper found Mo, took off the reading glasses on his face, walked out and said to Mo, "Oh, it's you, this time But I haven’t come here for a long time. I didn’t say it, but you are the best at catching mice. The cats that Boss Nagasaki brought over later were all better than you.”

Talking about it, the gatekeeper untied a bunch of keys from his waist, picked them out with squinted eyes and said, "In the past few days, the rats in the warehouse have been very noisy, and a lot of dried squids in Matsumoto Fishing Co., Ltd. The packing bag was gnawed open by a rat. The most annoying group of things is not worth eating. The warehouse is full of rat feces. The epidemic prevention department will come to check the sanitation in a few days. big."

As he spoke, he seemed to have made up his mind, picked out one of the keys and said, "The rats in Boss Matsumoto's house have been the worst recently, so let's start with their warehouse."

As he spoke, he held the key and said to Zhuo Mo, "Black cat, you have work to do, come with me."

Mo Wenyan followed the gatekeeper lightly, and at the same time motioned Xu Jie to follow him.

When I came to the gate of a warehouse, the gatekeeper opened the door, pushed out a small gap and said, "This is it, the warehouse for pine fishing."

As soon as he turned around, he saw Xu Jie following the black cat. He smiled and said, "You still brought your helpers this time, so I'll leave it to you."

Mo Wenyan raised his head and let out a low meow.

The gatekeeper couldn't understand the sound, but Xu Jie did. Mo was telling him to follow him in.

Heeled behind Mo, just walked into the door of the warehouse when the old man closed the door again.

Hearing the door slam shut behind him, Xu Jie's fur immediately exploded. He turned around and pawed at the door with his paws, while meowing.

Seeing this, Mo came over to comfort him and said, "Don't worry, when the sun rises to its highest point, he will open the door and let us go out."

Hearing this, Xu Jie gave up picking the door, and scanned the dark warehouse back and forth with his cat's eyes and said, "What are we going to do?"

"Catch the mice, and then exchange them for food." Mo's answer was straightforward.

"When I was young, I used to catch mice here to fill my stomach. Later, I met Awang and went to Nancheng. But I would come back occasionally. That's when I found out that if the mouse caught here If the mouse is given to humans, they will give me dried fish or other very delicious things, so I sometimes come here for a change." The black cat said while wagging its tail and walking into the warehouse.

After walking around in the warehouse, Mo basically determined the approximate range of activities of the mice. He led Xu Jie to the shelf beside him, and said, "Don't you want to learn to hunt? Watch it carefully in a while." How do I do it."

After speaking, it turned over and jumped off the shelf. The thick black fur quickly merged into the dark warehouse. If it weren't for those golden eyes, Xu Jie couldn't find its exact location.
