Little Priest's Cat Diary

Portoyas, the kingdom of the sea.

The bright pearl of the ocean.

A country protected by the god of the sea.

Portoyas King City, a prosperous and majestic city standing by the sea.

Every day, countless people pour into it, and countless people pour out.

Because it is mainly about commerce and trade, both water and land routes extend in all directions. It is rumored in the world that any road and river on this continent can lead to the Royal City of Portoyas.

It was another sunny day. On this flat avenue leading to Portoyas King City, the crowds of horses and horses were as continuous as before, coming and going, and there were all kinds of people.

There are large caravans with dozens of carriages and hundreds of people, and there are single traders with only one or two carriages.

A dark-skinned middle-aged vendor looked up at the sky. The bright sun was in the sky, and there were no clouds in the sky. It was already noon, and the sun was dazzling.He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, flicked the rein, turned the direction, and drove the carriage away from the avenue, slowly driving towards a small lake beside the avenue.

His buddy followed him in another carriage.

After driving all morning, both horses were a little tired.

Unlike those large caravans, he just does some small business on his own, and travels all over the country relying on the only two horses. It doesn't matter if it takes a little time. If the horses get tired and get sick, it will make him feel distressed.

You know, the price of a horse is not low.

Driving the carriage to a big tree by the small lake, the middle-aged trader reined in his horse and stopped, then got out of the carriage to feed the horses with water.

When he got out of the car, a little boy jumped out of the carriage that had just stopped behind him, cheered, and rushed into the lake to play in the water.

From the looks of it, the journey was suffocating in the carriage.

Seeing his naughty son having fun in the water, the middle-aged man shook his head with a smile and continued to feed the horses.

He was stroking the horse's mane gently when he suddenly heard a loud shout from the guy who was packing up.

"Who?!"

The middle-aged man suddenly turned his head to look, his eyes showing vigilance.

He saw a figure hiding behind the carriage. Although that figure looked much thinner than him and his buddy, he had never relaxed his vigilance after traveling all the year round and knew the danger.

He shouted, "Who's there? Come out!"

The person hiding behind the carriage hesitated for a while, then walked out slowly.

The middle-aged man glanced at it and felt a little relieved.

Appearing in front of him was a small boy, who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with a slender body, fair and tender complexion, one could tell from a glance that he hadn't suffered much.

The material of the clothes on his body is not bad, but it is a little dirty, his light-colored blond hair is a little messy, and there is still a little baby fat on his cheeks, making him look more childish.

The boy looked at him and asked, "Are you going to Wangcheng?"

Looking at this cute and harmless boy, the middle-aged man nodded.

The boy immediately said, "Can you take me for a ride?"

He took off the silver ring from his wrist and handed it to him.

"This will be your travel expenses."

The middle-aged trader glanced at the silver ring in surprise. The silver ring glistened in the sun. He could tell that the purity of the silver ring was not high, but it was enough to be worth half a horse, which was almost equivalent to the amount of time he ran. A quarter of the money earned from the trade route.

After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't hold back the temptation and nodded in agreement.

Anyway, the sky is bright and there are people everywhere, and it is only half an hour away from Wangcheng, so there shouldn't be any trouble.

He reached out to take the silver ring, touched it, and smiled.

"Little guy, don't reveal your belongings casually. If you trust people so casually, aren't you afraid that I will take your silver ring and not take you with you, and even snatch the silver ring from your left hand?"

The middle-aged peddler has always been very reputable in business, and he has never done anything harmful to nature. He said this just to tease this kid, and to educate him by the way, so that he can tell at a glance that he has never seen the world much. Children should not trust others.

Fortunately, it was him who met him. What if he met someone who was cruel and merciless?

The boy looked at him with ignorant and innocent eyes.

He said: "But I saw that you have a child who is about the same age as us, and I think you should not treat me that way."

The middle-aged man was startled when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at his son who was still having fun in the lake not far away, shook his head and smiled.

The young man probably felt at ease when he saw someone his age, so he hit him by mistake.

After all, for him, being a parent is always reluctant to let your children see their ugly side.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, but just ordered the man to continue to take care of the horses.

The boy said that there was another companion, and after asking him for two old linen covers, he ran away, saying that he would be back soon.

He didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't worth much anyway.A trader like him travels north and south for more than half a year, and the journey is full of dust. Therefore, it is most convenient to prepare a few strong and durable rough linen covers to drape outside to keep out the wind, sand and dust.

…………

Sardis frowned, looking unhappily at the linen cloak that Mia threw to his feet.

He looked at the rough linen drape like he looked at a piece of trash.

"I don't wear this."

He said, kicking the rag with his feet, his beautiful face tensed, and his tone full of disgust and disgust.

The guard dogs in his mansion would not pick up such dirty and broken things.

How dare this guy let him wrap up in such rags?

Mia looked at the proud golden-haired Persian cat's face full of 'I'm noble', and he smiled.

Although his appearance is not as stunningly beautiful as the golden-haired Persian cat, his baby face is cute and his smile is sweet, giving people the illusion that humans and animals are harmless.

Yes, illusion.

After he smiled, he stepped forward and pushed hard, pressing Sardis against the rock.

When Sardis was still in a daze, he pressed him with one hand and grabbed the collar of the white short robe he was wearing with the other.

Tear hard——

Um, not ripped.

After all, it is an expensive material, which is beautiful, comfortable, and very strong.

It's okay, just tear it a few more times and it can always be torn.

"what are you doing!"

The golden-haired Persian cat, who finally realized that it was about to be stripped of its clothes, exploded in an instant.

"Tear off your clothes."

Sardis: "..."

The other party answered too simply, but he didn't know how to respond.

Mia said to him in a very serious tone: "I think it's better to tear up your clothes than to hear that you dislike this one and that one. If you have no clothes to wear, you won't be so particular about it."

Although Mia wanted to walk back, he really misjudged the physical strength of the two children.

At the beginning, when Sardis said that he couldn't walk, it was helpful to use a branch to whip it, but after he got to the back, he was really exhausted, and this guy lay down on the ground, refusing to walk again.

Suddenly changed from a proud Persian cat to a lazy Persian cat.

Not only Sardis, Mia herself was so tired that her calves were shaking, and she couldn't walk on at all.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to try to hitch a ride back home.

But in this way, Mia is okay, and the clothes on Sardis are a bit conspicuous.He refused to change into civilian clothes, so Mia had no choice but to take a step back and put on a hood to cover the clothes.

But this guy actually puts on a cloak and still despises it.

Mia didn't have the time to reason with Sardis, and the middle-aged merchant was still waiting on the other side.

So he chose to use the simplest and rude method to tear the clothes directly.

When the time comes, Sardis will either run naked, or wrap his body in the torn linen he despises.

Well, he is so smart.

He said softly to Sardis: "Hey, don't move, it doesn't hurt, let me tear it up again, and it will be fine soon."

Sardis: "...I, I wear it."

The beautiful blond boy clutching his clothes had a look of being humiliated and enduring the humiliation.

Mia let go of her hand regretfully, seeing this pampered golden Persian cat being forced to hold its head, she could only swallow her anger and grievances, and put the faded tattered linen on her noble body. physically.

Although he had no choice but to succumb to the evil forces, Sardis felt uncomfortable all over his body with this kind of rags on his body, and goose bumps instantly appeared on the skin touched by the rags, which was terribly uncomfortable.

After walking two steps, he couldn't help complaining to Mia that the cloth was too dirty and rough, which made his skin itchy and painful.

Are you the princess and the pea?

Mia really wanted to make fun of him like this.

But thinking that Sardis would not understand the meaning of this sentence even if he said it, so he just ignored him.

Can a guy who is so squeamish really go to the battlefield?

Miya thought in distress.

No matter what, he couldn't imagine what Sardis would look like on the battlefield, let alone picking up weapons to fight others, he might be able to crush him to the ground with a suit of armor.

...I always feel that my hope of survival is getting slimmer and slimmer.

…………

Mia and Sardis got into the middle-aged merchant's carriage, and both of them were wrapped in the old linen cloak, which looked rather inconspicuous at first glance.

The middle-aged trader glanced at the strands of blond hair protruding from the cover, and didn't ask any further questions.

After all, he took these two teenagers to Wangcheng purely to make some extra money by the way, and he had no interest in their affairs.

The boy, who had had a good time playing in the lake, ran back in the sound of his father's greeting, and seemed to be having a good time.

Most of the clothes on his body were wet, but fortunately, it was noon and the sun was strong, so it would dry quickly.However, there was some mud on the clothes, and the spots looked a little dirty.

The middle-aged merchant drove a lot of goods in the carriage, so no more people could be added. The carriage driven by his buddy had less goods, so he arranged for several children to sit in the carriage.

A boy with a tanned complexion ran over and climbed up familiarly.

As soon as he looked up, he saw two strangers sitting on it, who should be about the same size as himself, and the boy who had no one to play with along the way suddenly became excited.He was so familiar with himself, before he could sit still, he stretched out his hand carelessly to grab the coat of the peer who was closest to him.

Sardis sat in the middle of the horizontal board, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his face was gloomy.

He is patient.

In the past, all he had seen were utensils carved out of round jade, inlaid with precious stones or golden patterns, which were as beautiful as works of art; all he touched were the softest and most delicate silk down or lustrous soft fur .

Now, he must wear old, faded rough linen, sit on broken planks that creaked as if they would break at any moment, the narrow carriage was broken and dirty, full of dirt, his feet There is still a lot of dried soil where I stepped on.

He tensed his face, he just felt uneasy, and his whole body was extremely uncomfortable.

When he saw the dark-skinned boy climbing up to approach him, and seeing his muddy clothes at a glance, Sardis's eyes showed distaste unabashedly.

It's just that the outer cover covered most of his face, so the boy didn't see it.

The boy eagerly wanted to talk to the newcomer of the same age, and stretched out his hand as if trying to grab Sardis's hood.

Sardis, who had already endured to the limit, only felt a chill all over his body.

Without even thinking about it, he raised his hand and pushed the boy who wanted to approach him away.

Unprepared, the boy was pushed by him and fell off the car.

With a thud, everyone else looked over.

The middle-aged man who saw his son being pushed off by Sardis already showed anger on his face, jumped off the carriage and walked over quickly.

Sardis didn't notice the eyes of the people around him, he just frowned and looked arrogantly at the boy who was pushed out of the car by him.

From childhood to adulthood, the servants who served Sardis kept telling him that he was the son of a nobleman, was born noble, and was born to be blessed by the god of the sea.And civilians are all inferior people, born lowly, dirty and filthy, contacting those inferior people can only tarnish his honor as a nobleman.

He can tolerate Mia touching him, because Mia is the son of nobles just like him.

But now such a son of a pariah dares to touch him with dirty hands—

"Go away."

His eyes were cold, looking down at the son of a pariah.

"You bitch-"

Sardis hadn't finished his scolding when suddenly a pair of hands stretched out from the side and hugged him whole.

Those hands quickly turned his whole body and turned his direction.

The next moment, a hand pressed on the back of his head and pressed hard.

Before Sardis could react, his head had already been slammed on the opponent's left shoulder by Mia's right hand.

His nose snapped against Mia's shoulder.

The corners of Sardis' eyes, whose nose was severely injured, instantly turned red. The indescribable sour and swollen feeling that almost made his whole body collapse made him extremely uncomfortable, and tears oozed out uncontrollably.

At this moment, let alone losing his temper, he couldn't make a single sound.

The boy who was accidentally pushed out of the car and fell down had already rolled up his sleeves and climbed up, intending to beat up the guy who pushed him.

The middle-aged trader in front also got out of the carriage and came here with an angry face.

The guy who was driving the carriage just in front of them saw that the master's children were at a disadvantage, so he naturally turned sideways and stared at the two ignorant teenagers with a hostile expression.

Feeling the unkindness from all around, Mia took a deep breath.

"I'm very sorry, my brother didn't mean to."

He hugged Sardis tightly with one hand, and pressed his head hard with the other, not allowing him to look up.

"No matter what, you can't do it. If you fall while the carriage is moving, you will definitely be seriously injured."

The middle-aged merchant said dissatisfied.

He already had the heart to repent and wanted to drive the two children out.

"I...my brother..."

Mia looked puzzled, as if it was difficult to speak, she hesitated for a while before speaking.

"He, he has a problem with his brain."

"what?"

The boy who had climbed up aggressively and was about to beat someone had just raised his fist when he heard this sentence and paused.

"Is there something wrong with his mind?"

You are crazy!

When Sardis, who had finally recovered from the sore nose, heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to shout.

But he raised his head a little, and was immediately pressed back on his shoulder by Mia.

He wanted to struggle, but Mia's left hand got into the outer cover at some point, and twisted hard on the soft flesh around his waist!

It hurts, hurts, hurts——

The tears that had just stopped almost fell again.

"Actually... my younger brother had a fever when he was a child, and he didn't have time to cure it. Since then, his brain has..."

Mia said with a sad face.

"The condition is getting worse, but the uncle who adopted us is unwilling to treat him. I have no choice but to sneak out with my brother..."

"I heard that there are many famous doctors here in Wangcheng. I want to find them to treat my brother."

The boy hugged his 'brother', his baby face was full of childishness, but his eyes were very firm, revealing a maturity that didn't match his age.

However, it was because he showed such a mature appearance at a young age that made people feel a little distressed.

From what the young man said, the middle-aged trader has already vaguely sketched in his mind an uncle who seized the property of the brother whose parents both died, deliberately harsh on them, and the elder brother had to escape secretly in order to protect the younger brother who was mentally ill. The story of taking my younger brother to seek medical treatment.

He calmed down and looked at the brothers with sympathy.

"Because my younger brother has a bad mind, so... so my cousins... and his friends like to bully him."

"Being bullied a lot, he becomes more and more afraid of people. When people other than me approach, he will be frightened."

"So, he really didn't push you on purpose, he was just scared."

The originally angry boy let go of his clenched fist, and he looked at the younger brother with a look of pity.

It sounds so pathetic.

Ah, it seems like it's still trembling, and it looks like it's really scared.

Looking at his younger brother who was wrapped in a coat and curled up in his elder brother's arms, and his body was shaking again just now, the boy felt more and more sympathetic.

"Since your brother is mentally ill, forget it, I don't care about him."

He also took the initiative to say, "Your brother is afraid of people, so I'll take my dad's carriage and tell him not to be afraid."

Miya smiled gratefully.

Just now, he twisted Sardis's soft fleshy fingers again and loosened them, but they were still pinching, with a strong sense of threat. Obviously, if someone opened his mouth, he would twist it mercilessly again.

Some sick 'brother' was indeed shaking.

pissed off.

With a breath stuck in his throat, Sardis was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

As soon as there was a little hostility in his eyes, it immediately disappeared because of the sore nose.

I was angry and anxious, my nose hurt, and my waist hurt.

Not only was he threatened not to speak out, but he was also considered mentally ill.

Sardis had never been so wronged in his life, so wronged that he felt that not only his nose, but also his eyes were sour.

No.

hold back.

He must hold back.

The last time I cried in embarrassment accidentally.

It is absolutely impossible for him to lose face in front of this guy again!

So, endure...

He endures...

Another burst of severe pain hit the nose, and the delicate Persian cat couldn't hold it back after all, and cried out with a whimper.

The soft flesh around his waist was still pinched, making him afraid to move.

He could only keep his mouth flat, weeping while twitching his little nose that was flushed red from the bump.

That aggrieved little appearance is really pitiful.

……

The carriage rattled on its way.

The middle-aged trader led the way with his son driving the carriage. He occasionally looked back and saw the brother in the carriage holding his younger brother in his arms because he was worried that his mentally ill brother would fall off the carriage. His heart was full of emotion and admiration. .

What a good brother who loves his younger brother!
