[Comprehensive] The Right Way to Survive in the 19th Century

They have the potential of being a snake maniac. Even though they look extremely beautiful and can fool people, once you get along with them, you want to strangle them immediately. Today, he has let Alan go twice.

Oliver squeezed out a gentle smile, for the sake of money, he could endure all problems, "Prince Ellen, the first point of pursuing a female cat is to always appear in her sight and let her be familiar with your existence, But you should not appear too attentive, it will easily make her look down on you, think you are a simple and easy-to-get meow, even if you are together in the end, you are still in a weak position, and she will dump you at any time you."

"Then what should I do?" Allen stared straight at him, sat down with great respect, and listened carefully, "First, you have to pretend to meet her inadvertently, and then, to get her attention Give her your small gift, not too expensive, after that, we can plan the second unexpected encounter. The second time, you have to leave her a better impression and let her have a good impression on people. If you are interested, let her take the initiative to invite you, so that you can take the initiative to appear in front of her."

Oliver suddenly thought of something, looked at him suspiciously, and asked carefully: "By the way, have you been caught by her before you peeping around her lewdly?"

Allen jumped up quickly as if his tail was stepped on, and asked cautiously: "How do you know that I sneaked and peeped next to her? But, I promise, she never found me, I was always at her last I only came to her when I didn’t pay attention to her surroundings, she is really wonderful. Oliver, you must help me, without her company, I really feel that Maosheng has no nostalgia.”

If he is not still a handsome cat, handsome and unrestrained, his current behavior can be called an idiot.Oliver rubbed his temples, "From today onwards, your previous meetings will not be counted. It will be your first meeting from the day I arranged. You must not reveal that you were so ungentlemanly, so unreasonable. Elegant behavior." If King Kate was here, they would have to fight for the right of inheritance again, and it really didn't feel tall at any time.

Oliver modified Alan's standing posture, "Alan, from today onwards, you must give full play to your nobility and elegance as an Elvis prince. Kate taught you how to make you a cat king. Noble cat. You have to make her feel that you are a real gentleman. In love, you have to try your best to elevate your position so that you can occupy a better dominant position. However, after you are really together, establish Once you have a relationship, it doesn't matter what you really look like. At that time, even being a strict wife will not be a big deal."

"So, what do I need to do tomorrow?" Allen was a little apprehensive, and it was the first time he had seen such an expression on his face after knowing him for so long.

Oliver squinted at him, and said quietly: "Now you ask me to help you design a plan, at least tell me her usual course of action, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle. You must at least tell me what she likes and what she doesn't like. What kind of character is it. I don’t know anything, do you think these plans fell from the sky, it makes sense for me to charge money, and I am absolutely responsible to my customers.”

Under the power turnover of the cat prince, it is not difficult to find some trivial information. Miss Lucy is really a very good cat, kind and generous, demure and elegant. The more you continue to read the information, Oliver I feel more and more the fact that this Prince Meow, who often has convulsions, is really not good enough for her to some extent.For this, he silently repented in his heart for three seconds, and then realized that this was an extremely bad behavior that went against his heart and should be cast aside.

However, in other words, making such a Miss Meow the future queen of the cat kingdom is a very reliable behavior. King Kate also thinks so, and he has fully mobilized the king. The power in the country helped his son marry such an excellent cat.Oliver suddenly felt a little apologetic. However, it is possible that Miss Lucy likes Alan. At least, there is absolutely no possibility of him cheating. When they get married, teach her a few ways to control Husband’s good way, it will definitely bring happiness to the family, and there will be a steady stream of cute cats appearing. Thinking of such a scene, I am inexplicably a little excited.The new life is like the rising sun, so beautiful.

Finally, the day of action came. This is what they found out through hard work. On this day, Miss Lucy's master will take her for a short trip. They will take a short walk in a small forest to relieve the pain. the fatigue of their journey.This is really a wonderful opportunity, as long as it works a little, it will not be considered to have ulterior motives.

Before setting off, Oliver confirmed Alan's attire again. It was very good. His jet-black fur shone with luster. After a little exercise, he would only look more handsome and fit, rather than weak. , If you don’t speak, you are a quiet and handsome man, and if you speak... Oliver refuses to think about the situation of landslides and landslides. Only true love can endure the brain circuits he opens at any time. He should really thank God for letting him be born in The king's family, sincerely.

With the concerted efforts of the cats, Oliver was smuggled out very smoothly and arrived at the destination quickly. The time was just right. When all the preparations were done, Allen fully exercised his body. The cat at the outpost Come back quickly and report, "Mr. Twist, they will reach the woods in five minutes."

Oliver quickly found the most beautiful violets that bloomed on the ground, handed them to Alan, and let him bite them in his mouth, "Remember, wait until they are about to get in the car and then pretend to run over inadvertently, and give the flowers to that Miss Lucy, don't say anything else, if you really want to be beautiful and return, just follow what I say!"

After finishing speaking, they rushed up to the top of the tree together. The dense branches and leaves of the banyan tree cleverly concealed their figures.Allen took a deep breath, put on the most elegant state of his life, and wandered in the woods.It has to be said that Allen has never lost face in big scenes, and he can be regarded as an out-and-out flower in the cat country.

It didn't take long for Lucy and her master to hang out, they just turned around a little bit, and just as they were about to leave, Lucy turned her head curiously, at this moment, A black cat appeared, a very handsome black cat.

There is still a delicate and lovely violet in his mouth, no matter what it is, it is so beautiful.Lucy couldn't help staring at him, Alan ran closer and closer, stopped beside her, and said softly: "The most beautiful violet is worthy of a beautiful person like you, miss, yours Beauty eclipses flowers."

He came and went like the wind, only the fragrance of the violet remained beside her, delicate and lingering.Lucy couldn't help but wonder, is this how I'm going to find the cat?It was a wonderful encounter.

Alan kept his hands and feet cramped and quickly ran to a place where no one was around, stood up hurriedly, patted the dust on his body, and breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really too nervous, I'm about to have hand cramps , I almost tripped in front of her, it would be too embarrassing." He patted his chest with lingering fear.

He is truly handsome for only three seconds, and he suddenly understands why even the prince can't find a girlfriend. Everyone already has a deep understanding of his nature.

Oliver rubbed his temples with a headache, and looked at the hard-working boys behind him sympathetically, with sincere compassion for them, "Alan, we shouldn't be too anxious, take your time first. Just wait a few days, it’s not a good thing to rush, you have to fully maintain your mystery. If you don’t want to encounter Waterloo, just listen to me honestly!”

The author has something to say: The cute author urgently needs comments, and only by collecting and feeding can he continue to work hard to improve his code words. An author like me who updates every day is worth cherishing.If I don’t give it, I’ll roll on the ground, ╭(╯^╰)╮.

☆, the so-called secrets of chasing cats

The next few days were a disaster. Alan squatted next to his pillow almost every day at dawn, staring at him motionlessly, and would not leave until nightfall.Think about it, in a dark room, there is always a pair of green eyes staring at you, a proper beginning of a ghost movie.

Three days later, Oliver couldn't hold it anymore. Why would he be so idle as a dignified prince? You, if your unreliable character comes out again, I won't care about it."

"Of course." Alan put a large piece of beef stew in front of him in a fawning manner, and urged: "Hurry up, Oliver, eat enough. We can start early." His face was full of Instead of anticipation and hope, he has fallen into his own unreliable fantasy about the future.

Oliver couldn't help splashing a little cold water, "Sorry, we can only go out after 11 o'clock, and we must come back before 6 o'clock. These are the times when I should show up. No orphan will give up the chance to get food. This is now In this society, I must stay here until I have no ability to resist."

Alan was bored and found a place to do well by himself, bored: "Why, human beings are so troublesome, Oliver, since you are so bad here, why? Why don't you just come to the cat country, we will take good care of you, even if You just help us mediate the relationship, and you can live comfortably. How about it, I officially extended an invitation to you, don’t you want to be grateful to Dade for accepting it?”

Oliver glanced at him, very calmly, "Can you let me occupy a place in human society? Most importantly, if I leave now, the proof that I live here will be gone, that is to say, those who have no You shameless person, you can try your best to steal all my own things from me. I can't bear this no matter what. Let me grow up a little bit. When the time is right, I will leave this ghost place myself .”

Allen stood down seriously, and stretched out a paw, "Human, even if you want money no matter what you do for me, I will still stand by your side. Congratulations, you have my friendship."

"Oh." Oliver replied coldly, and left silently. Every meal time is a war. If he didn't care, it would be too shocking.

Allen really waited for too long. Oliver only felt dazed, and found that he had been quickly carried by several cats. Don't you really need to worry about the subjugation of the country? However, there will be no boring races to attack them, which is completely meaningless.

At any rate, they still had some sense of propriety, and stopped a few hundred meters away from the familiar house, and the rest of the cats surrounded him tightly, waiting for his instructions quietly: "Twist Sir, we all obey your orders, and we will try our best to do anything."

"No." Oliver flatly refused, "You don't need to do anything. Today, the only one who needs to appear is Alan. We just need to stay here and not let anyone or animals find out."

Allen was eager to try, and made several handsome moves quite chicly. It seemed that there was something going on, Oliver squinted at her, and said coldly: "Just pretend to be careless and walk slowly from her window." It’s fine just wandering past, she didn’t call you to stop, absolutely can’t clearly show that you saw her. Even if she called you, you have to wait for her to call you a second time before turning your head hesitantly! Because this is the second time for you Meet, you don't know her at all, understand?"

Allen nodded, and walked honestly and gracefully as if walking slowly. From the back, he looked very handsome. He really deserves to be called a handsome cat whose only face can be seen.

This is really a kind of fate, Lucy thinks so from the bottom of her heart, when she once saw the big chinchilla cat next door's extremely showy display, she turned her head in disgust, and then, she saw, that hurried one The figure, he is still so handsome and unrestrained, wandering leisurely from the nearby bushes, the bright spring light sprinkled on his body, as if coated with a gentle halo.It's like a prince walking out of a dream.

Lucy couldn't help shouting out, with hope, and softly shouted: "Mister, please wait..." He didn't stop, as if he didn't hear it.A little disappointment could not help but appear on her face, perhaps, she herself did not know exactly what she wanted.

Allen maintained his demeanor and shouted frantically in his heart, (⊙o⊙) Oh, it’s great, Lucy stopped me, is she interested in me, but, Oliver, please be sure to I have to stop when she yells the second time, Lucy, please, hurry up, otherwise, according to the current route, I will hit the wall, my God, it is only five meters away, can I be a cat? Is it going to end in such a sad way? I haven't married a beauty yet and reached the pinnacle of my life. QAQ

A sound of heaven saved him, it was Lucy's voice, "Sir, please wait!" Lucy didn't know what was going on in her heart, and she stopped him with a louder voice, This is definitely not what a lady should do, he won't find me very annoying, she has already started to regret it now.

Allen stopped at an unhurried speed, trying his best to be graceful. He raised his head slightly, and Lucy's wonderful figure was undoubtedly revealed. She showed off most of her body shyly, which obviously had an effect on him. Some favors, Oliver's method is really useful, he suppressed his excitement, and calmly jumped onto the platform where Lucy was.

He looked at Lucy carefully, and she shrank back a little shyly. In her worried eyes, Alan said: "Miss, I met you in the woods once, you and your Take a walk, Master, that violet doesn't seem to be able to fully complement your demeanor, now that I think about it, I was the one who acted abruptly."

Lucy said timidly: "No, the flower is very beautiful, but it disappeared before I got home. I've always been very..." She bit her lip and changed the subject, "By the way , What's your name, why did you come here? This is, my, my... home." After saying these words, Lucy felt that all the courage she had accumulated would be exhausted.

"Oh, that's nothing, I'm just attracted by the bright spring, walking here, and I came here without knowing it. Please don't call me you, it makes me feel a lot older, call me Allen will be fine." After Allen finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and ran away quickly.Lucy was a little disappointed. Could it be that he didn't even want to spend any more time here? Obviously, he was so gentle to her before.

Allen ran wildly, and returned to Oliver's side in a short while, and asked nervously: "How did I perform just now? Did I perform well? Could Lucy be attracted to me?"

Oliver quickly dried his whole body, combed his hair a little, and quickly stuffed a small bouquet of flowers into Alan's mouth, "Hurry up, don't make that young lady wait too long Well, that's not what a gentleman should do."

He turned around chicly, with an absolutely handsome posture and haughty, galloping towards his happiness. Perfect.It reminded him of a law, no matter in the world of peacocks or birds of paradise, in order to attract a mate, male birds have extra bright colors of their feathers, as if they suddenly understood something sad.

Lucy walked back somewhat disappointed. Has he already gone back? Does he actually want to see me? Right, that's a bit too desperate. If so, it's better to let her die alone.

At this time, a black figure rushed out of the woods like lightning, and Allen quickly came to Lucy, and she hadn't left yet.He smiled slightly, stood up, patted the leaves and other things off his body, took the bouquet in his hand, and handed it to Lucy calmly, "Sorry, miss, I just thought that if you empty-handed If I came to visit you, it would be too impolite, so I could only rush to prepare a small gift. Now, let us formally meet again. I am Alan, from the country of cats, miss. Excuse me, yours Her name is...?"

Lucy took the flower shyly, smelled it lightly, the aroma was very pleasant, it was blooming in the woods where she wandered, she said softly: "It's very beautiful, I like it very much, thank you." She hesitated After a while, he still sent out an invitation, turned slightly sideways, and tentatively asked, "Alan, would you like to come in and play for a while?"

Even if he wants to jump inside right now, he still keeps in mind Oliver's words all the time. The first time you officially go to her house, you can't rush in. Otherwise, others will think about it. Behavior is disgruntled, almost synonymous with bad breeding.

He looked at the sky hesitantly, and said: "Not this time, Miss. My journey is not over yet, and I will continue to measure the spring. However, if it is your invitation, I am happy to come here often. Goodbye, beautiful young lady."

The author has something to say: Here, three seconds of silence are observed for the future of Miss Lucy. After three seconds, does this have anything to do with me?They are a match made in heaven.

☆、Meet the parish officer

He continued to jump up the fence gracefully, and looked back affectionately at Miss Lucy who watched him off. If he hadn't sprained his foot when he landed, landed on his face, and rolled and circled 720 degrees, this day can be called Up is perfect.Oliver poked him with no sympathy on the dead body on the ground, and silently gave him a list, "The accounts between us have been settled, here is the specific price list, please read it, after that, we will be strangers , thank you for your patronage."

Oliver left quite arrogantly, and crawled back to his room from the dog hole smoothly. He just sat down for a while, and it was dinner time. He had to be full of energy to welcome the thin dinner.In order to live better in this society, as long as there is a chance, I must leave this hellish place completely and never come back.

It is a pity that since he finished the order of Prince Allen, he has no business anymore. The relationship between them has developed very well. Sister, you have thoroughly inspired the manly side. Now, all the big and small affairs of the whole cat country are decided by Miss Lucy. It is really in line with the evolution law of history. Maybe it is because In this way, the cat country can always prosper.

For two years, Allen has become very accustomed to Oliver here as a place of meditation and a peaceful resting place. He quietly enjoys the dusty room, which is not considered a clean bedding. He sighed, "Oliver, tell me, why did Lucy, who was so gentle before, become what she is now? I just wanted to have a drink outside quietly yesterday, but I just came home a little late, so I was caught Lucy beat me up."

Oliver didn't have the slightest sympathy for this, "Who told you that you have no image, lying on your back in a wine bottle, I remember that time, You Meow told me that you had a foreign delegation to visit, right? If you are not careful, you will lose face in front of others, so do you have the courage to say that you just go back a little later?"

"Wait!" He jumped up suddenly, still a little confused, and shouted: "Hey, so, did they come last week? I always thought it was this week, so I thought about it yesterday." , Finally relax, oops, I have to go back and apologize to Lucy, Oliver, I will see you next time."

He waved his hand indifferently. To his wife and slave, he was nothing but air. If he got angry over such a trivial matter, he would have died of anger.However, how could he let him go away comfortably when he said such words, the second he rushed out, Oliver said in a low voice: "Well, I still find it strange that he When did you have your own private money, and you can buy so much wine, I remember him complaining that he has nothing to do, how strange?"

This volume is enough for felines with sensitive hearing. Oliver was satisfied to hear a shrill cat meow from Allen. He was really happy and felt that he could eat an extra bowl of rice.

Thinking of this, he touched his emaciated body melancholy. Fortunately, the skin quality is not bad, and he also did some exercises today. I don't know when he will grow into a tall and fit body?An inexplicable feeling of powerlessness flooded into his heart. He didn't know what the effect of the milk-like thing he drank when he was a baby. Even though he ate a lot every day, he still felt hungry, and even his face didn't see much blood. , It is precisely because of this that the secret that he has been eating extra meals has not been exposed. Otherwise, he would have nothing now.

The sad thing is, so far, all the property he owns is just one hundred and one pounds, and there are some small stones whose real value is unknown. I am really grateful to them. In the eyes of cats, These banknotes are no different, as long as they are paper-like things, they automatically pay Oliver a hundred pounds by default. This is really a sad past. Fortunately, he has largely stopped this unfairness The transaction, which indirectly caused him to have no second big business until now, sometimes he really wants to go out and cry.

At this time, a turning point in his life came, a very important turning point.At this moment, a man came here, and Mrs. Mann, the good housekeeper, was suddenly startled. She did not expect that Mr. Bumble, the parish steward, would come unexpectedly, and he was struggling to open the garden gate. the little door.

"Dear me. Is that you, Mr. Bumble?" said Mrs. Mann, leaning her head out of the window with a well-acted look of delight. "Why, Mr. Bumble, I'm so glad to see you, really."

No, Mr. Bumble is fat and short-tempered. Therefore, for such an intimate greeting stretching over the deep psychological characteristics that the French philosopher Bergson first used to describe human beings, he not only did not use the same Qin Qin replied, but shook the small door violently, and gave it another kick, which no one except the parish steward could do.

"Dear me, look at me," said Mrs. Mann, rushing out, "look at my memory, I forgot the door was bolted from the inside, and it was all for these little darlings. Come in, sir, Please come in, Mr. Bumble, please." However, he was not moved by this, Oliver stood by the window, watching the scene here, and knew in his heart that this man came here to take them away One of them, he is already desperate, no matter where he goes, the treatment will not be better for a moment, he glanced at his slender waist and limbs, sneered, and turned back, his intuition told him that he must take it with him now. With regard to all his private property, the critical moment has come. It is like a flash of inspiration. He sewed all the main banknotes into the inner pocket of his clothes, but he can only give up those gems temporarily. Alan should Keep these things for him.

As soon as he walked out of the room, Susan grabbed him suddenly, washed his clothes, and cursed, "Really, you little bastards, you'd better be quiet, if it wasn't for the parish secretary Bumble Mister came here suddenly, why do I need to care about what you are covered with, worry-free things!" Oliver could only keep silent and let her do it, and now he has no ability to resist.

The officer wanted to talk to Mrs. Mann for a long time, and then vaguely mentioned himself. Oliver couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen carefully. At this moment, Mrs. Mann walked in. The layer of mud wrapped on it has been wiped off, and only so much can be wiped off in one wash. However, Oliver is somewhat satisfied with being able to become a little cleaner.Mrs. Mann involuntarily dragged him up and led him into the living room.

"Bows to the gentleman, Oliver," said Mrs. Mann.Oliver bowed, and with this ceremony, half to the rector in his chair, half to the three-cornered hat on the table, played the part of a terrified orphan, in which he was After a lot of hard work, it can be regarded as handy at this time.

"Would you like to come with me, Oliver?" said Mr. Bumble, in a commanding voice.

In fact, it's the same no matter where you are, but going to a new place is considered a change of mood. Suddenly, he saw Mrs. Mann turned behind Mr. Bumble's chair and was threatening to shake her fist at him. He immediately understood This hint, this pair of fists has imprinted too many times on the bodies of his so-called companions, it is impossible not to leave a deep impression on his memory, a person who knows current affairs is a hero, this is his wisdom. The secret to protecting yourself.

"Will she come with me too?" asked poor Oliver.

"No, she can't go away," replied Mr. Bumble, "but she will come and see you sometimes."

Oliver flexibly controlled his facial muscles, deliberately pretending to be very reluctant to leave.It was not too difficult for him to shed a few tears on the spot. These are all natural experiences, and Oliver cried quite naturally.Mrs. Mann hugged Oliver a thousand times, and gave him a piece of bread and butter, which was much more economical for him, and saved him from looking hungry when he got to the workhouse.

Bread in hand, Oliver donned a little parish hat, and Mr. Bumble was led out of the wretched house at once, taking nothing of his own, indeed, he There should be nothing here, except for the clothes he is wearing now. This is the so-called workhouse.

Mr. Bumble strode along, and Oliver trotted beside him, and soon he felt sore. Gin and water can only evoke in some people a short-term gentleness. The mood had evaporated by this time, and he was a parson again.No surprises.

Oliver still couldn't help clutching the lower part of his chest, where the necessary conditions for him to live and work in the future were sewn. It was placed there, as if it was slightly hot, and he could only touch the few pieces of cardboard. Only then can he feel a little bit of stability.

The only good thing along the way can only be that he saw a cat that he knew and was quite familiar with. When he passed by him, he was drying his fur lazily on the fence. Coming over, the cat immediately realized that something was wrong, and followed him quietly, thanking him for his existence, so Oliver felt that he was not abandoned by this world.

The author has something to say:

☆、Meet the Golden Snake

Before Oliver had been in the workhouse for a quarter of an hour, he had just disposed of another loaf of bread, and had left him in the care of an old lady, when Mr. Bumble, who had gone to his own errands, returned, and told Oliver that tonight To catch up with the council meeting, the directors asked him to meet immediately.He can almost imagine what kind of scene this is, but he has to bow his head under the eaves, and he wants to leave this place even more urgently.

Mr. Bumble, having tapped him on the head with his cane to wake him up, and another on the back to cheer him up, ordered him to follow, and led him into a stucco room. A dozen stout gentlemen sat around a table in the large living room.The upper armchair was much taller than the others, and on it sat a very fat gentleman with a round, red face.

Heh, at first glance, it is obvious that the upper class people. They never care about how people like him live.He lowered his head, hiding the disdain on his face well.

"A bow to the trustees," said Bumble.Oliver wiped away two or three tears that had forced themselves from his eyes, and bowed to the table, so that these so-called gentlemen would not see the expression on his face, where mediocrity is always better than Much better to be smart.

"Son, what's your name?" said the gentleman on the high chair.When Oliver answered, his voice was low and hesitant. There were many thoughts in his mind, which prevented him from answering decisively.A gentleman in a white vest immediately declared that he was a fool.It should be explained that predicting good and bad times is an important way for this gentleman to refresh himself.

"Son," said the gentleman in the high chair, "listen, I reckon, you know you're an orphan, don't you?"

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Oliver asked, his attention had been on the table pattern in front of them all the time, and he didn't know why he suddenly became interested in that pattern.

"The boy's a fool--maybe he was," said the gentleman in the white waistcoat.

"Don't interrupt," said the gentleman who spoke first, "you were brought up by the parish without father or mother, do you know that?" His tone was impatient, too, for them , Taking out precious time to meet a little orphan like him is definitely a waste of their time.

"I want you to say your prayers every night," snapped another gentleman, "for those who raised you and looked after you—be like a Christian."

"Yes, sir." Oliver stammered deliberately, so that his words and deeds would be more in line with a person of poor intelligence.The gentleman who spoke just now hit the nail on the head.If Oliver had prayed for those who had brought him up and looked after him, he would have been very much a Christian, and a very good Christian at that.But he never prayed, because no one taught him, and he didn't believe it in his heart.

"All right. You came here to receive an education, to learn a useful craft." said the red-faced gentleman on the high chair, playing with his fingers carelessly.

"Then you will start removing the old hemp rope at six o'clock tomorrow morning." The gentleman in the white vest added sullenly.It was used to fill the gaps in the planks of the ship, the work of prisoners and poor people, which was very suitable for him now.

In order to thank them for combining the two good deeds of teaching and passing on skills through such a simple process as removing the old hemp rope, Oliver bowed deeply again under Bumble's instruction, and then Hastily taken into a large containment room, where, on a bumpy, hard bed, he fell peacefully asleep, the day finally came to an end, a very long one.What a wonderful portrayal of the benevolent Britain and France.
