Cultivation of the cat

I don't know if it's because the sun is getting brighter near noon, and the little animals are more willing to come out and move around.On the way back, Lin Mianmian saw several cats in a row, and even saw the little yellow dog from a distance.

It's a pity that let alone stroking, there is no chance to get close to those hair balls.Every time Lin Mianmian just wanted to get close, they ran away in a flash.

At first, Lin Mianmian didn't think about it. It is said that these small animals are raised in the outer valley, and they should be used to getting along with people. Why are they so unloving?But as he walked, listening to the heavy footsteps behind him, Lin Mianmian took a look back at the black bear carrying five sacks of dry food and a child hanging on his leg... Well, Lin Mianmian felt that if he was one of those little furry Tuan'er, it's time to run.

Politely rejecting Xiong Lanlan's proposal to have lunch together, Lin Mianmian went back to the house with a bag of dry food.

The dry steamed buns with pickles really tasted mediocre. Lin Mianmian felt less hungry after eating one and a half steamed buns. Finally, he drank two sips of cold water and finished his lunch.

The taste of the dry food was really bad, but Lin Mianmian had no complaints.After all, it is a great thing to be able to eat enough. For things like appetite, it is still time to practice Qi, so let's experience the Qingxintang in Xiong Lanlan's mouth.An all-you-can-eat meal ticket is also very attractive to Lin Mianmian.

In order to end the life of eating dry food as soon as possible, Lin Mianmian endured the curiosity of going out to see how many small animals there are nearby, wiped his mouth and sat back on the bed, and opened a booklet that Abai threw in everyone's hands to introduce air into the body.

The booklet is quite thin, and there are some pictures in it that are similar to the analysis of cultivation postures and spiritual flow, and the rest of the text is even less.

After carefully reading it twice, Lin Mianmian found that the content written in this booklet was similar to what Xiong Lanlan had summarized before.It is nothing more than the first induction of spiritual energy in the breath, intercepting it, running through the meridians, and finally converging in the dantian, which is the successful introduction of the energy into the body.

Then follow the inhalation and breathing that A Bai taught on the stage before... Lin Mianmian followed the picture in the booklet to set his legs, and began to take a deep breath.

Inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale...exhale...exhale...

Lin Mianmian was concentrating, trying to find the kind of aura described in the book, which would make people feel full and relaxed.

It was almost late autumn at this time, and even at noon, the air in the room was a bit chilly.Continuously taking deep breaths made Lin Mianmian's nose dry and cold, and finally couldn't help but sneezed a few times, and opened his eyes to end this first attempt.

Come back before noon, and then open your eyes, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.Lin Mianmian's birth of plants in the last days is also repeated day after day, and the practice methods in the books are within the range she can bear even if they are boring.

It's just a little dry and cold... Lin Mianmian rubbed the tip of her nose, just like when she was doing grass for a hundred years.Spring has more power, summer is so strong that it is about to explode, autumn starts to dry and cool, and in winter there will be some uncomfortably cold feeling.

After pouring a few cups of cold water into his belly, Lin Mianmian rubbed his belly, feeling that his grassy body is actually quite fragile, and he should go find some hot food to eat before he succeeds in drawing air into his body.

Lin Mianmian remembered that there seemed to be a stack of dry firewood in the courtyard, but he wondered if there was anything to boil water.Just going out to have a look, Lin Mianmian was inevitably disappointed. There was a lot of firewood and it was neatly arranged, but there were nothing but other things.

Even if there is an iron pot, an iron pot is fine... Lin Mianmian sighed, and just about to go back to the house to continue practicing, but inadvertently saw a fire not far away.

That's... Xiong Lanlan's place?

Looking at the light of the fire, the fire seems to be quite large... It is not possible to boil water and cook, and it is not the weather that needs to be lit for warmth.There must be something wrong with such a big fire...

Lin Mianmian was finally worried and ran over quickly.

Walking in the dark was not an easy task, but fortunately, after walking halfway, the light of the fire shone faintly, which relieved Lin Mianmian from the danger of almost falling into the pit in the morning.

When approaching Xiong Lanlan's courtyard, the fire in the courtyard was almost as high as the courtyard wall. Lin Mianmian clearly saw several small animals around Xiong Lanlan's courtyard through the firelight.Only when Lin Mianmian got closer

, They all dispersed again.

Lin Mianmian rubbed her hand, which hadn't touched half a hair, feeling really lonely.

Lin Mianmian still hadn't forgotten about being bounced off in the morning, so he took a small stone from the side of the road to knock on the door when he walked halfway.Standing at a distance, Lin Mianmian threw a stone at the gate of the courtyard, but he didn't expect...he hit it, and it opened as soon as he threw it.

The originally closed courtyard door was half opened, and the warm fire light mixed with laughter and the aroma of the food came out.

Hmm... seems to be all right.

Lin Mianmian felt that he was really worrying for nothing, so he took two steps back and decided to leave.

"Who, Mianmian, come here, come here, I'm just doing your part." The one who poked her head out of the half door was a gentle woman named Feng Mingliang who had packed Xiong Lanlan's quilts before.Although the name is cold, the person is extremely warm, willing to help with everything, and quickly became friends with everyone.

For a moment Lin Mianmian couldn't understand what it meant to be doing her part, but Feng Liang saw it, so she left just like that, and was dragged into Xiong Lanlan's yard along Feng Liang.

I saw a huge fire burning in the middle of the average-sized courtyard. More than a dozen new disciples gathered around the fire, holding wooden sticks, as if they were roasting something.

Lin Mianmian's first reaction was to think of those small animals outside the courtyard just now, and his heart suddenly tugged.But soon she knew that she was wrong, because after a closer look, there was only the aroma of roasted grains in this courtyard, and there seemed to be no meat.

Sure enough, when Lin Mianmian approached, the wooden sticks in the hands of those people were strung... all steamed buns.

It's just to bake some steamed buns, do you need to set the fire up to the sky...

"Mianmian! Here!"

Lin Mianmian saw a short child running towards the house holding a bunch of wooden sticks. It was Wang Ming'er.

"Wait, there's this." Xiong Lanlan's voice came from afar.

Lin Mianmian followed the sound and looked.

Well, if Xiong Lanlan hadn't made a sound, she wouldn't have noticed that there were so many stones piled up in the corner of the yard, and there was a bear in the pile of stones.

"They said you eat too much, and asked me to make you a bigger one, but it took me a lot of effort." Xiong Lanlan shook her hair, and a layer of dust fell on the ground.

Lin Mianmian didn't have time to blush for the phrase "eat a lot", her eyes were already attracted by the things Xiong Lanlan was carrying.

Stone pot, it is the most needed thing right now!

"I'm really... really... so sorry." Lin Mianmian took the stone pot given by Xiong Lanlan, and felt extremely ashamed that she refused to eat with Xiong Lanlan because she wanted to have a hair ball at noon.

"It's okay." Xiong Lanlan waved the stone chisel in her right hand, "When Qingxintang produces some good things in limited quantities in the future, I'll just share your share with me."

Lin Mianmian: "..." Sure enough, there is no need to be ashamed.

In any case, Lin Mianmian took a trip like this and got a set of stone pots, a pile of wooden sticks and a fire bag, Xiong Lanlan insisted on fulfilling her promise and stuffed her with a small magic circle like the one she played in the morning.

Xiong Lanlan was very busy. After stuffing Lin Mianmian, she went back to the stone pile to knock on the pot.It was only when Lin Mianmian left that he understood from Feng Liang why everyone gathered at Xiong Lanlan's place this evening.

According to Feng Liang, it was Xiong Lanlan who felt that it was not good to give the cub (Wang Minger) cold water and food at noon, but she made a request to Yupei, but Yupei didn't respond at all.It seems that Senior Sister Zihui and the others won't come until the day after tomorrow.So Xiong Lanlan went to the edge of the woods to get a few stones, and got a pot for Wang Ming'er to cook steamed bun soup with hot water.

Xiong Lanlan chiseled stones and carried more wood. When asked by people on the road, she answered honestly.So when the smell of cooking food really wafted from Xiong Lanlan's room, many people brought stones to Xiong Lanlan to ask for a pot.Xiong Lanlan couldn't refuse, she just opened the smell and sound barrier in the yard to prevent more people from coming.But her fire was too big, one after another, more than half of the people came.She simply made a set by herself.For those who didn't know how to make a fire, she asked someone who knew how to make a fire to make some.

What a...a good bear!It's much better than the rabbit who forgot to share the sauce.

When it comes to sauced meat, sauced meat is here.

As soon as Lin Mianmian entered the yard, she felt something was wrong.Inexplicably, there was a faint smell of meat in the air. I just listened carefully, but I didn't feel that there were more people in the yard.

After entering the house cautiously, Lin Mianmian realized that the smell of meat came from a large bowl of sauced meat on the table.

Next to the bowl of sauced meat was a gray-looking jade bracelet with a note pressed underneath it.

[Mianmian, this is an apology.The bracelet is a magic weapon, and it is helpful to practice when you come back. 】

This white...

Lin Mianmian smiled and twirled two white hairs from the jade bracelet.

But he didn't expect that just by touching the jade bracelet lightly, the bracelet would jump up and wrap around Lin Mianmian's wrist.

Lin Mianmian was shocked at first, and then hurriedly rolled down, but couldn't come down no matter what.

Abai this guy!Lin Mianmian was both funny and annoyed.

Lin Mianmian had no choice but to forget about the bracelet after trying twice.It's just that it's inevitable that another sum will be added to Ah Bai's bill, and the day when he waits for his golden core will be the time to lick the rabbit.

Not far from Lin Mianmian's hut, the three-flowered cat lurking in the night sensed that the little spell it had left on the bracelet had been activated, shook its fur in satisfaction, and couldn't help purring softly.

There is meat, there is a pot, and there is a fire. If you don’t cook at this time, when will you wait?

Lin Mianmian lit the fire to wash the pot, set up a simple support, stewed the sauce broth, and baked the steamed buns.

Cubs or something, who is not a cub?

The gate of the courtyard was deliberately left open, and the fire in the courtyard was burning vigorously. Lin Mianmian listened carefully to the movements around the house. There were probably four or five small animals nearby, and three of them were slowly approaching.

After waiting and waiting, listening and listening, Lin Mianmian finally waited until four small animals had arrived outside the courtyard gate.It's just that after Lin Mianmian finished eating the meat and steamed buns, they still didn't come in.

Lin Mianmian sighed, took the baked steamed buns, broke them into pieces, put them in a bowl, and walked out.

I saw those hair balls that were originally at the gate of the courtyard rushing in all directions, and disappeared in a flash.

So Sangxin... didn't even see what kind of small animal it was... Lin Mianmian was holding a bowl, standing in the firelight, looking very lonely.

Nearby, there is only one small animal left... Lin Mianmian touched his ear, hey, if he didn't come before, he won't come now.Lost Lin Mianmian put the small bowl outside the courtyard, walked into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, wiped away her tears and stopped crying, practiced.

In the darkness, Sanhua, who had been quietly crawling for a long time, hooked its claws, and pulled out a jade ring similar to Lin Mianmian's hand from its neck. After looking at it twice, it stuffed it back into the fur of its neck.

With Yuan Zhaoyang's ecstasy, the four cats that were scared away by Lin Mianmian ran back all at once. Looking at their routes, the target was naturally the bowl that Lin Mianmian put down.

Yuan Zhaoyang was not as obsessed with eating and drinking as Abai. Although the steamed buns were delicious, they were not very attractive to Yuan Zhaoyang.What's more, those were obviously taken out by Lin Mianmian to feed small animals. As a cat demon, Yuan Zhaoyang has his own pride.

In the night, a Sanhua, who looked like a white cat at first glance, was running fast, and the four cats who were approaching the food bowl cautiously felt a blur in front of them, and an adult Sanhua with the size of three palms stood in front of the food bowl.

Predator?The four cats slapped their tails together and made a threatening sound of "hissing".

Where did Ah Bai get this cat from the mortal world? Why is it hissing? Isn’t it meowing that makes a cat?Yuan Zhaoyang, who has never lived in a group and does not know cats in the common world, frowned, but his face was so hairy that no one could tell.

Raise the paw, clap the bowl, and the bowl disappears.

Yuan Zhaoyang flicked his tail and ran away.

Leaving the four cats on the spot, Jiu Jiu trotted to sniff the place where the bowl was originally placed, and stretched out its paws to scratch the ground, as if it couldn't believe that the bowl was gone out of thin air.

In the small courtyard of Hengshui Peak, Ah Bai was lying in a soft nest and eating small oranges.One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight, well, it would be even better if someone helped peel them, but it's a pity that Yuan Zhaoyang went to retreat.

Even though I thought so, the small ice skates were flying freely in the air, and peeling oranges was no slower than human hands at all.

The courtyard door squeaked, Ah Bai turned his head, and saw a door open.

The closed courtyard door closed again.

"Are you finished?" Ah Bai jumped up, and threw the freshly peeled orange straight ahead.

Yuan Zhaoyang, who had taken off the invisibility talisman, swung the oranges back into A Bai's mouth with a wave of his small paw, "I have brought them all. It is true that the concentration of the aroma has been regulated, and it seems that it has been refined. Are there any questions?" I can continue to use the ones that are used up." Yuan Zhaoyang said, hooking out the thin jade ring around his neck and shaking it.

"You can do it. The first thing you did when you left the customs was not to tell me, but to go directly to Mianmian." A Bai swallowed the oranges in a few gulps, and lay straight on the ground, "I'm sad."

"What did I come to see you for, to peel oranges for you?" Yuan Zhaoyang snorted, pulled his little paws over the soft nest where Ah Bai was lying just now, and lay down on it by himself, "Also, what happened to those cats you were looking for? thing?"

"What's wrong with the cat I'm looking for. Have you seen it? Don't tell me, I've spent a lot of time thinking about it. All the cats I'm looking for are black, black and white, orange, yellow and white. Anyway, they are all cats with many colors on their bodies. So you are a little white cat, how conspicuous and cute, Mianmian must like you the most." A Bai conjured up another soft nest to lie down on his own, "Speaking of which, I want you to make one for you. How about litters, food bowls, etc. You haven’t been a cat for a long time, can you?”

"Who wants to be lovable!" Yuan Zhaoyang tucked his tail and squatted up. "Those little animals are so afraid of people? They don't get close to Lin Mianmian at all. How can I keep up? Other animals are afraid of her, so I'll get close to her, no Is it more awkward than no animals and only me?"

Abai was also a little surprised, "Are you afraid of people? What should I do then? How about I put up an invisibility talisman to drive them into the yard for you?"

"..." Yuan Zhao Yangguang could imagine that chicken flying like dog jumping, and he waved his claws again and again, "Forget it, I will figure out a way by myself tomorrow."

"Senior Sister Yuan, Senior Sister Yuan! Ah Bai, Ah Bai!" Zihui's voice came from the sound transmission stone in the courtyard.

Why is Zihui here... Yuan Zhaoyang glanced at Abai, touched the jade ring around his neck, and entered the room in a flash.

Ah Bai put away a soft nest, closed the barrier and let Zihui in, and then opened it again immediately.

"What's wrong? It's so late?" Abai sent an orange to Zihui.

"Don't eat, it's too bad." Zihui was so anxious that she pushed the orange back.

"...Oh, I mean, you can peel the oranges for me, and then tell me what's wrong." Abai put a plate of oranges in front of Zihui.

Zihui: "...where is Senior Sister Yuan?"

Ah Bai lay down: "It's in retreat, so what's wrong?"

"The Chijing five-scale fish in Waigu should have been fishing in the past few days, but today they all rushed to the outermost river in Waigu, far away from our original fishing location." Zihui said with a smile on his face. Anxiously, "Senior Sister Yuan took over the task of catching Chi-Ji five-scale fish this year, and you and I were responsible for the deputy, do you remember?"

Ah Bai's eyes sparkled... and he shook his head: "I don't remember."

"..." Zihui took a deep breath, and warned himself again and again that the little white rabbits in front of him were golden danqi, and they should not be beaten casually. There's a lot of copper snails coming out, and they're all eating there."

"There should be copper wire snails in the river, but there won't be many at a time. Or should we wait for them to finish eating and go back to their original place?" Ah Bai thought for a while and said.

"No, we will be fishing in the next few days. After time, the scales on their bodies will miss the best time to collect them. But if we catch them on the spot, we have no time to do the fish passing circle, so we can only catch them one by one. , you have to use a stronger net." Zihui was about to cry, Yuan Zhaoyang and Abai could bear the loss, but she couldn't.

A Bai took out a roll of spider silk from the golden bell, "Use this to make an Internet cafe. The East China Sea used to get it, and it should be enough. But why are there so many copper wire snails suddenly? This stir-fry should be delicious, right?"

"It seems that a lot of stones have been dug out from the bottom of the river, and the copper wire snails have been dug out. I didn't have time to check the details, so I came here." Zihui picked up the spider silk, checked the quality, and finally it was loose. Take a breath.

……

As the night deepened, Xiong Lanlan finished chiseling the last pot, lifted Wang Ming'er who had fallen asleep on the rock, and yawned big.
