loyal dog becomes cat

"Leave here?" Marco couldn't react, and frowned inexplicably, "Then where are we going?"

Liu Xiaodong smoothed his hair: "Have you never thought about the future?"

"In the future?" Ma Ke was stunned, and said, "Thought about it, cultivate the land well, do business well, let everyone live a good life, wait for my father...uh, Master Ma comes back, and then..."

Speaking of this, Ma Ke was also stunned, and it took a long time before he said: "Maybe... go to Xizhou to open a branch?"

"Then what about me?" Liu Xiaodong smiled.

"You?" Marco opened his mouth, "Uh...won't the cat just follow the owner?"

"You want me to be a cat all the time?" Liu Xiaodong rolled his eyes at him, "What about when I become a human?"

"Uh..." Ma Ke found himself in a paradox. He hoped that Liu Xiaodong would return to his original state, but if he really wanted to get his wish, how would he solve his survival problem?

Men and men are hard to accept, let alone an abnormal man (is it abnormal to turn into a cat?), even if I dress up as a woman all my life, I'm afraid I can't live with a cat openly. .

"Get out of here..." Ma Ke began to think about the possibility of leaving Dengzhuang.

To be honest, apart from occupying Ma Ke's body, he has nothing to do with Mrs. Ma at all. In a biological sense, since he already has this body, he can control it freely, of course he can freely Deal with the rest of your life, where you want to go, what you want to do.

But... is that really the case?

In this family, the old ones, the young ones, the stupid ones, and the disabled ones, even though they are male or female, they are actually the one with the strongest combat effectiveness in comparison, and in fact, they are also the backbone of the family now. .

If they really have to leave, can they survive smoothly?

Ma Ke was hesitant. Although he was very strong, he was not so decisive when he needed to make a decision.

What's more, this family is sincerely good to him, and loves him with all their hearts. Even if everyone is looking at Ma Ke's sake, after all, Ma Ke is the recipient.

He can't do things like walk away.

"Brother Dong..." Ma Ke looked into Liu Xiaodong's eyes and said hesitantly, "Otherwise, let's wait for Master Ma to come back? You practice first, and the future... let me think about it?"

Liu Xiaodong leaned over to look at him, and smiled warmly: "Okay, let's take our time."

Ma Ke breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xiaodong turned over and lay down beside him, stretched out his arms to hug him, and said, "I know you can't leave this family behind, so forget it, let you do it. There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and we will talk about it when the time comes." Well, maybe Master Ma will come back tomorrow, if you are lucky, you can also bring a young and beautiful Mrs. Gao Xiangguo, and drag your two sons to work together, we have nothing to do hehe."

Ma Ke burrowed into his arms, muttering: "Why don't you write novels, such a rich imagination."

Although Liu Xiaodong tried his best to take off the cat's skin and put it on for Ma Ke, Ma Ke still caught cold and had a cold for several days, and he gradually got better after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The end of the month is Mrs. Ma's birthday, and her 50th birthday is considered a big day. Ma Ke doesn't want her to be wronged when the master is away. He wakes up early in the morning and goes shopping with Hana.

The market was full of excitement, Ma Ke picked a fat duck, two fish, and bought some dry goods like mushrooms, and asked Hua Jian: "You said that my mother had a big birthday, what should I prepare for her birthday? "

Huajian pointed to a stall selling hairpins in the distance, and said: "Madam used to have a crested gold hairpin, and she hired a doctor to be it for you. Now if she can buy the same one back, she will be happy."

Ma Ke weighed the purse, guessing that the gold ones would not be available, but the copper ones might be okay, so he walked over with her.

There are quite a lot of copper hairpins on the stall, and the workmanship is exquisite. Ma Ke randomly checked them out. The boss said politely, "Young lady has good eyesight. These copper hairpins just came from Gaoxiangguo. They are very fashionable and exquisite."

Ma Ke's heart moved, and he asked, "Boss, did you come back from Gao Xiangguo?"

"Exactly."

"I heard that the caravans are fighting over there. Is it peaceful on the road?"

"Hey! That's right, I almost won't be able to come back." The boss shook his head and sighed, "I don't buy much, and none of them are valuable things. It's better. Those who sell crude drugs and skins are miserable. The soldiers were in chaos, and they lost their lives for no reason."

Ma Ke was in a heavy heart when he heard this, and seeing the flowers was also uncomfortable, so the two picked a hairpin from the stall, paid the money silently, and walked back.

"Brother, don't listen to him, auspicious people have their own talents..." Huajian wanted to comfort Ma Ke, but she couldn't continue speaking halfway.

Ma Ke smiled, and comforted her in turn: "It's useless to think too much, today is a good day for mother, let's not talk about it."

The two walked to the periphery of the market. Two idlers squatted on the locust tree beside the threshing floor and played chess. One suddenly said, "Hey, did you hear that? The lady from the Dahong Grain Store in the city died."

"Oh, this is great, such a huge family business is cheaper for others." The other bared his teeth.

"That's not true. It's a pity that Deng Zhuang's Seventh Lord's wishful thinking was in vain. Deng Youcai is still waiting to be the owner of the grain store. He is a city man."

"Yo, Deng Youcai's daughter-in-law became a widower without even entering the house." Huajian gossiped.

Ma Ke really didn't like this man, so he snorted and didn't answer.

"It deserves it." Huajian said angrily, "Amitabha, this girl is relieved, if she really wants to marry Deng Youcai, it will be worse than death."

In the afternoon, Ma Ke started to prepare the ingredients for the evening birthday banquet, and Dingbang didn't go out to help Ma Ke kill fish and ducks. The whole family was very busy.

Liu Xiaodong couldn't violate the nature brought by the laws of nature, and walked around a pile of fish viscera restlessly. Naturally, he wouldn't eat it, but he really couldn't resist the fishy smell, and his saliva couldn't be controlled.

"Do you want to eat?" Dingbang asked with a string of fish maw, Liu Xiaodong glared at him, and sneered at his boring tone of deceiving small animals.

Dingbang laughed, and shook the swim bladder temptingly a few times. Liu Xiaodong felt dizzy for a while, and could not help "meowing", raised his hind paws, and pawed the swim bladder with his front paws.

After two strokes, reason overcame the impulse again, and the front paws fell, digging at the ground and shouting angrily: "Oh——"

"Here, here you are." Dingbang shook again, Liu Xiaodong was dizzy again, stood up with peach hearts in his eyes, scratching with his little paws.

Hard work...

"What are you doing?" A pair of light blue embroidered cloth shoes appeared in front of his eyes. Ma Ke bent down and hugged Liu Xiaodong, and gave Dingbang a hard look, "Is it fun to bully small animals?"

"No, I'm helping you feed the cat." Dingbang laughed.

"He doesn't eat that." Ma Ke lowered his head, and saw Liu Xiaodong's eyeballs were still stuck to the swim bladder, and he flicked its forehead with his fingers. Liu Xiaodong finally came back from the pain, and wiped his saliva on Ma Ke's sleeve.

"It likes it, I just tease it." Dingbang wanted to come over with the swim bladder, but Ma Ke hurriedly took a step back, "Okay, okay, it's almost lost."

Dingbang threw away his swim bladder, and Ma Ke said, "He is my cat, so don't bully him in the future."

Dingbang pouted and nodded.

"If you want to bully, I will be the only one to bully you." Ma Ke raised his eyebrows, and Liu Xiaodong wagged his tail like a dog, expressing his unconditional surrender.

Just after packing up the ingredients, suddenly someone knocked on the door, Mrs. Ximen helped the little maid Youzai Youzai come over to visit.

Naturally Ma Ke didn't dare to neglect this distinguished guest, Madam Ma also came out to welcome him, and because the weather was fine, everyone sat at the small table under the peach tree.After Huajian made tea, Mrs. Ma asked her to wash some melons and fruits and serve them to the guests.

Ma Ke was jealous of everyone in Ximen's family, and after a few pleasantries, he said that he had some housework, and hid in the kitchen to play with the cat.

Mrs. Ximen took a sip of coarse tea, frowned secretly, put down her teacup and said, "Boss Ma has been away for more than a year, but you mother and daughter have suffered a lot."

Mrs. Ma sighed, and said: "Yes, now I heard that the border caravan is fighting, and I can't even send someone to find out the news. I really don't know when my master will come back."

Mrs. Ximen sighed, and said: "But you gave birth to a good daughter, who is capable and filial, and the future will never go wrong."

Mrs. Ma nodded: "Yes, fortunately, Ah Ke is very sensible and good at doing business."

Mrs. Ximen squinted her eyes and said, "How old is Miss this year?"

Normally, it's not easy to talk about the age of a girl's family, but Ma Ke is a boy after all, and there are not so many rules in the countryside. Mrs. Ma hesitated and said, "Fifteen."

"Oh." Mrs. Ximen smiled, and said: "Then it's time to talk about marriage, and you, a mother, will have someone to rely on in the future."

Mrs. Ma became alarmed when she heard the words, and said: "He is still young, and his father is not around, so I dare not make decisions about the marriage at will."

Mrs. Ximen nodded: "What I'm talking about is... But this year's procrastination, you don't have to waste your time. It's always better to plan early. Find a rich and wealthy family to marry, and you mother and daughter can live a leisurely life. "

Mrs. Ma listened to her words, pondered for a while, and said: "Our family is in decline now, and we dare not cling to the rich family. Even if the master doesn't come back in a year or two, if I want to be the master, I have to find someone with the right family. More money means less money. Nothing to worry about, the most important thing is to get the matchmaker to marry properly so that he can be worthy of his father, so that he won't blame me, a mother, for trampling on my own daughter in the future."

Mrs. Ximen smiled sarcastically, and echoed a few words insincerely: "It makes sense."

The words were not speculative, so the old lady sat down for a while and left. Because she heard that Madam Ma was celebrating her birthday today, she asked Xiaorui to send a piece of high-quality clothing as a congratulatory gift.

Huajian has been guarding Mrs. Ma's side all the time, and she heard these words clearly. When she left, she immediately transformed into a repeater, ran to the kitchen and poured out Ma Ke's tongue.

Ma Ke was upset when he heard this, and Liu Xiaodong squatted next to him thoughtfully, drawing circles on the ground with his little paws, planning something.

When the sun went down, Mancang also came back from the city. Ma Kehua greeted everyone for dinner. The family sat around the table, and Liu Xiaodong also squatted on a stool. Although it was a bit crowded, it was very warm.

Mrs. Ma was very happy, and greeted everyone to drink some wine. She was full of joy, and brought up the matter of opening a branch in Xizhou again. After hearing this, Mrs. Ma shook her head repeatedly.

Nanny Wu and Dingbang both echoed her statement, no matter how capable Ma Ke is, he is just a child of fifteen or sixteen and a girl, and going out is a lot of trouble and risky.

Marco didn't express any opinions. He listened to what everyone said, but his eyes were full of deep thought.

As soon as it got dark, Liu Xiaodong changed back into a human form, squatting on the edge of the bed and picking his teeth with a toothpick. Although he was fundamentally a human being, he had more or less the habit of a cat. Apart from being super fond of eating fish, he didn’t like sitting. I like to squat wherever I go.

Ma Ke looked at the account book under the lamp. After reading it for a long time, he suddenly raised his head, sighed, and said, "Brother Dong, why don't you go to Xizhou."

"Help you open a shop?" Liu Xiaodong was not surprised at all.

"Well, we will go to Xizhou together in a few days. If you stay, I will hire you to be the shopkeeper. Our future contacts will be aboveboard."

Liu Xiaodong nodded: "Okay, Xizhou is not far away, and it only takes more than a day to go there by horseback. I happened to start a business in the past, and I also saved some money for my wife, so I can marry you in the future and take you far away."

Ma Ke put down the account book and sat next to him, put his head on his shoulder, and said: "I've thought about it, I'm not Ma Ke after all, even if you can become a human, after all, you are a man, and they will definitely accept it if we are together in the future." No. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. When the family’s business is on track and Dingbang can support the family, I will leave here with you and find a place where no one knows.”

Liu Xiaodong knew that Ma Ke was the most soft-hearted, kind-hearted and affectionate person, and it was not easy to make such a decision, so he couldn't help feeling sweet in his heart, holding him in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Ma, no matter if I live another 30 years or not. For three or four years, as long as I am here, I will love you well and do my best to make you happy."

The cat's lifespan is only about ten years, and Liu Xiaodong's life expectancy is unknown, but judging from his appearance as a milk cat that hasn't grown much in more than a year, the prospects are still optimistic.

Ma Ke sighed leisurely, and said, "Brother Dong, you are now my only family member in this world."

Liu Xiaodong kissed him lightly on the top of the head and said, "You are the same."

"Go to sleep." Ma Ke yawned, "The corn has been harvested, and the wheat hasn't been planted yet. These days are just free, so hurry up and practice your transformation skills, and try to open the new store in September. "

"Just capture him, master." Liu Xiaodong hurriedly came up to him to undress him and take advantage of it, "The little one will definitely fulfill his mission."
