drunk doctor

Xiao Hei "meow..." rolled over on my lap to play, the four cat paws swept back and forth, grabbed my finger and sent it to his mouth, but in the end he licked it and pushed it away, having a great time .

"Xiao Hei is a cat with nine lives?" I stroked Xiao Hei's furry head, puzzled and said, "Master, I heard that cats have nine lives."

The young master was slightly taken aback, and said: "That's not the case, cats are just like us, they only have one life. Who did Lie Er say just now?"

"My sister told me. She said that people used to say that cats have nine lives." I looked up at the young master.

The young master shook his head and said: "That's a lie. Whether it's a 'nine-life cat' or an ordinary cat, they only have one life. This is the same for all creatures in the world. They cannot survive after death."

"Then why is it still called 'Nine Lives Cat'? Is Xiao Hei different from other cats?" No matter how I look at it, I feel that Xiao Hei is just an ordinary cat, and the son's words are a bit inconsistent.

The young master helped me smooth my hair, and he was not in a hurry to answer my doubts. He first said: "The nine-life cat is actually a mascot, and the owner who raises the nine-life cat rarely gets seriously ill, because the nine-life cat can use their special methods. Heal your master."

"Cure!?" I was stunned, Xiao Hei still has this ability?

The young master nodded, "Well, Lie'er has heard Xiao Hei's snoring when he was sleeping."

I said, "My lord, cats always snore when they sleep." Last time I caught a big black cat near Guzhu Restaurant, just like Little Hei. When sleeping in my arms, it purred, purred. rattle.

The young master showed a nice smile, and said: "The purring of cats is good for our human body, especially the nine-life cats. Their purring has a significant healing effect on human injuries and so on. This point is not comparable to ordinary domestic cats. The healing ability of the Nine-Life Cat often benefits some people around the owner of the Nine-Life Cat, such as me now, with Xiao Hei around, I will get better faster."

As the young master said, he stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei had stopped playing, and lay on his side on my lap, snoring as if in response to the occasion, but his pair of beautiful cat eyes were still open, and his tail was sweeping back and forth.

I am happy to hear that Xiao Hei can also make the young master recover faster.I stroked Xiao Hei's head and said, "Master, let's sleep with Xiao Hei at night."

The young master looked at me with a funny face, neither objecting nor agreeing.After a while, the son slowly introduced the characteristics of Jiuming cats, "Most of Jiuming cats are wild cats, even if they are raised, they are not easy to be tamed, because Jiuming cats are often the noble and mysterious Elvis around a large group of wild cats." ..."

"Xiao Hei is not Elvis Presley." I can be sure of this, Xiao Hei is a lonely stray cat.

The big black cat I caught near the Lone Bamboo Restaurant was Elvis Presley. At that time, I took a lot of effort to catch it, but I haven't seen the big black cat in the past few days.

The young master smiled and said: "Xiaohei is still young, and he recognizes you again, so naturally he will not become a wild cat, and Elvis Presley is not equal to the Nine Lives Cat."

"Young Master, how did you know that Xiao Hei is the Nine-Life Cat, because it has the word 'fire' on its forehead?" I stroked the only white cat hair on Xiao Hei's forehead.

The young master explained: "When Jiuming cats grow up, they will be slightly larger than ordinary cats, but the fangs in their mouths will be shorter than ordinary house cats; the most notable feature of Jiuming cats is that once they have Master, a character will be formed on the forehead to identify the master, and the character will be determined by the master; Lie Er, you have fire in your life, so the character 'fire' will be formed on Xiao Hei's forehead along with you."

"Doesn't that mean that Xiao Hei will generate other characters when he meets someone else?" I became curious.

"That's not necessarily true. Nine-Life Cats are very picky about their owners. They would rather be short than excessive. Only owners who really love cats and take good care of them will have the chance to meet Nine-Life Cats. If Xiao Hei didn't meet Lie Er, Instead, it was raised by another owner, even if only once, that owner bullied Xiao Hei, then Xiao Hei will be just a common house cat in this life, not a nine-life cat, and it is even more impossible for Xiao Hei's forehead to be a cat. The master speaks out the words."

Listening to what you mean, Xiao Hei was actually an ordinary cat in the beginning, and the Jiuming cat turned out to be an ordinary cat. Very well, the cat will become a 'Nine Lives Cat'?"

"Hehe, Nine-Life Cats may exist among ordinary kittens, but not every kitten can become a Nine-Life Cat. The owner who adopts a Nine-Life Cat must meet two conditions. The second is to treat the cat well. Even so, it is very difficult to get a Jiuming cat to recognize its owner, because cats are very smart and sensitive. A Jiuming cat who starts to recognize its owner will follow its owner , A word is born on his forehead, that is the mark of the Nine Lives Cat’s acknowledgment of its master.” The young master looked at Xiao Hei’s forehead, who was lying on his side licking the hair on his stomach at the moment.

I also opened my eyes wide and looked at Xiao Hei. Although the characters on Xiao Hei’s forehead hadn’t been fully formed, they already looked like characters. I always felt a little unbelievable, “Xiao Hei recognizes me, so there are characters on his forehead?”

The young master nodded, and said: "Once the characters on the forehead of Jiuming Mao are formed, it will be recognized as the owner for a lifetime. Jiuming Mao will pay a lot for its owner, even life."

I frowned, feeling sad, and hugged Xiao Hei.At the beginning, I liked Xiao Hei and decided to raise Xiao Hei. I never thought about asking Xiao Hei to do anything for me, and I didn’t want Xiao Hei to suffer any harm because of me. When Xiao Bai was injured, I felt distressed and blamed myself for a long time , Even now when I occasionally think about it, I still feel distressed. I am not willing to let Xiao Hei get hurt.

I asked, "My lord, can you make Xiao Hei turn back into an ordinary cat?"

The young master said: "If you give up, you will gain. You treat it well, it knows, and repays you. This is the animal's repayment, and I can't change anything. It's just a cat's repayment, which is not the same as what we think of as repayment." Similarly, many people think that cats are not as loyal as dogs, because they cannot understand the way cats repay their gratitude, and cats always help their owners invisibly to those who love them."

I stroked Xiao Hei and said, "Xiao Hei is doing well." I didn't raise Xiao Hei to make Xiao Hei pay back.

However, I heard from the son that the purring of the Nine Lives Cat can cure diseases, which makes me feel very novel.

The young master smiled and said, "So, only those who really love cats have the opportunity to become the owners of Nine Lives Cats."

I also laughed, no matter what kind of cat Xiaohei is, to me, it is my favorite animal just like Xiaobai and Honghei.

"Meow..." Xiao Hei raised one hind paw to sweep his neck, and began to lick his paw.

The young master looked at Xiao Hei, and suddenly mentioned the real reason why Xiao Hei was called the Nine Lives Cat: "The reason why Nine Lives cats have nine lives does not mean that they have nine lives, but because Nine Lives cats can help their master save their lives." Passing life and death is equivalent to giving the owner another life, and there are legends about borrowing life from cats in the world."

"Can the Nine-Life Cat lend its life to others?" I widened my eyes, so what should it do?Didn't you say that a cat with nine lives only has one life?

The young master shook his head, and said in detail: "The Nine-Life Cat borrows its life, which actually means that the Nine-Life Cat can help its master eat bad luck, life and death, and the price is to sacrifice one of the Nine-Life Cat's own nine rounds of life. It is not accurate to say that the cat borrows its life. It should be said that the cat gives. In fact, it can only be given by the Nine-Life Cat itself. It will help its master, but its master sometimes doesn't know it."

It turned out that there were so many secrets in Xiao Hei, so I asked, "What is a round?".

The young master smiled softly, and explained patiently: "The lifespan of a nine-life cat is longer than that of ordinary cats. A cat's lifespan is nine years, and the average long-lived cat has three or four cycles at most, but the nine-life cat has nine years. Although there are nine rounds, only one of them can be borrowed by the Nine-Life Cat, otherwise the Nine-Life Cat will lose its life; the Nine-Life Cat who does not recognize the owner will generally become Elvis King, and the Nine-Life Cat who recognizes the owner, the forehead I will give birth to a word with the master, and then use one of my nine rounds of life to protect the master."

"Eighteen, 27..." I counted slowly with my fingers, and finally: "...81! Young Master, Xiao Hei can live for 81 years." I was very happy.

"To be precise, Xiao Hei should live to be our 72 years old." The young master said slowly.

Hey, did I calculate wrongly, nine years have one life wheel, and nine-life cats have nine life wheels... I calculated it carefully again, and it was indeed in 81, and I seriously corrected: "Young master, you are wrong, Xiao Hei will live 81 years."

The young master said ambiguously: "That's because Xiao Hei needs to repay his life, because his master's life is borrowed, and he has to pay back the loan. Xiao Hei used his life cycle to help his master pay back. Lie Er, I am very grateful." Xiao Hei, otherwise I am a little worried, will you hate me after this life?" The young master tightened his hands and wrapped me in his arms, and after speaking, I was sensitively aware that the young master's tone changed. A tremor.

"Young master?" I was puzzled, but the young master said that I borrowed my life, who did I borrow it from?

The young master seemed to be aware of the slip of the tongue, and changed the subject: "Some cats with nine lives recognize their masters, and they may not necessarily dedicate their life wheels to their masters. Unless Xiao Hei is willing to donate his life wheels, no one can force it. Lie Don't worry too much, Xiao Hei will be fine."

I nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "My lord, how did I survive back then?"

The young master rubbed my hair, and said calmly: "That accident should not have taken Lie Er's life, so I changed Lie Er's life back." The young master did not want to talk about that time.

I was confused and asked, "My lord, are you really good at fortune-telling?"

The young master was slightly surprised, and said: "Lie Er heard what Mr. Han from Lushan said."

I nodded.

Only then did the young master explain: "Actually, I only have a little understanding, not proficient in it; the real master in this area is Bai Xia, Lie Er's fate, I asked Bai Xia to help change it, speaking of Bai Xia, that guy, In fact, he is half my master."

"Could it be that the person who borrowed my life is Bai Xia?" I remembered the gentle black man in my memory.

The young master laughed out loud, and said: "Taoist Huangquan is very short-lived, ask Bai Xia to lend her life, and Bai Zhu will kill me."

"Who is that?" It turns out that I borrowed my life, and the person who lent it to me, is it all right?

The young master sighed, seeing that I didn't know how to agree and didn't give up, he replied: "Because I asked Bai Xia to help change Lie Er's fate, so no one can lend you your life, Lie Er, you borrowed your own life. "

what?

I was stunned. It's very difficult to understand what the young master said.

Young Master just looked at my tangled bitter face like that, burst out laughing, leaned over and kissed...

Tired for a long time, the young master was about to start working. I put Xiao Hei on the couch next to me, rolled up my sleeves again, and helped the young master polish the ink. The young master dipped the brush into the ink made of cinnabar powder and began to draw on the square paper. With some strange characters.

While grinding ink, I asked, "Master, if we see a cat with a word on its forehead on the road one day, it must be the Nine Lives Cat who has recognized the Lord."

The young master looked up at me with a smile, and said mysteriously: "Lie'er, when you meet a cat with characters, you must never mess with it. Remember that."

I paused, almost startled by the smirk on the young master's face. Is the young master saying that Xiao Hei is not easy to mess with?

I thought about it, and happened to catch a glimpse of the pattern drawn by the young master. It didn't look like the pattern of the poor family's spell that I had seen before, so I couldn't help but curiously said: "Young master, this doesn't seem to be the pattern of the spell that you drew before."

The young master drew seriously, nodded and said: "To deal with different enemies, use different spells."

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly, and I walked over to open the door, and it was Mo Feng.

Mo Feng entered the house and said to the young master: "Young Master Shangfang, the Lord told us to leave early, so we don't need to wait for him."

The young master put down the brush in his hand, looked back at Mo Feng, and asked, "Did you find Lin'er?"

Mo Feng shook his head and replied: "Although it is still impossible to know who took young master Rin away, the lord said that he is inseparable from the royal family. In fact, the lord does not want Mr. Shangfang to be involved in the affairs of the royal family. In the middle, let us leave Beijing as soon as possible. Leaving early may affect the recovery of Mr. Shangfang's injury, but the Lord sent me and another guard, Fu Xin, to escort Mr. Shangfang back to the holy doctor's gate. I arranged two days later Leaving Beijing, do you think it's okay?"

I was stunned and took a look at Mo Feng, Daxia Ye's son was kidnapped?

The young master nodded, and said: "You can arrange these, my injury doesn't matter." Then he pondered: "Rin'er should be safe now, if Ye Huang has any clues, let Ye Huang try to look for it in the north direction look."

Just as Mo Feng was about to leave, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the young master's words, and asked, "Zhengbei, the imperial palace!?"

The young master smiled and said: "Tell Ye Huang one more thing for me: If you encounter trouble, there is only one way—to survive from a desperate situation."

Mo Feng's face changed slightly, and he said nervously, "Young Master Shangfang, is it possible that the Lord is in any danger this time?"

The young master shook his head, and said lightly: "You tell Ye Huang, he will naturally understand."
