Tangning was stunned.
At first, he could explain Zhou's parents' feeding by saying "Monster cats in the card world are all different." But when Little Cat fell to the ground after eating so much and made a faint meow, Tangning could hear the pain in it.
That's not how cats meow when they're happy.
Tang Ning has raised a cat. He knows that when a kitten is happy, it will purr like a little tractor. When it is even happier, it will nudge you with its head and lick you with its tongue.
He had been raising cats for so long, but he had never heard Kai Xin make such a weak cry.
And even though Xiao Mi was obviously unable to eat anymore, Zhou's father and mother still poured the food out of everyone's plates.
Xiao Mi's voice became weaker and weaker.
"Wait!" Tangning suddenly spoke up.
Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Lin Yun looked over in surprise.
The time was almost up in ten minutes, and they were standing by the door. Tangning held the door handle and said carefully to Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, "Hello, uncle and aunt. I've also raised cats, and I want to share my experience raising cats with you."
The two people who had been throwing food at Xiao Mi stopped and stared at Tang Ning with two pairs of black eyes.
Tangning forced out a smile, "I heard that cats are healthiest if they eat small, frequent meals."
"Eat less?" Father Zhou looked at Mother Zhou, his tone was particularly doubtful and surprised.
Mother Zhou also turned to look at Father Zhou, her voice slightly raised, "More meals?"
The couple sitting on the sofa looked at each other, both with fat faces, two pairs of small and bright black eyes, and two mouths that were constantly grinning.
Tang Ning's Adam's apple rolled down, his back tensed, his pupils slightly dilated, and he looked at the corners of the man's mouth, which was slightly raised, almost to his ears, revealing his sticky teeth and bright red gums.
In the dead silence, the laughter of a man and a woman rang out at the same time. The laughter was very low at first, as if a mouse hiding in the dark night was squeaking. With a few tremors, the laughter became louder and louder, until it became unbridled and seemed to overturn the roof of the magnificent hall!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
His fat palms kept slapping the tabletop, causing the plates on the table to shake.
“Hahahahahahaha!”
The hand wearing jewelry wiped away the tears oozing from the corners of the eyes, but the mascara made the eyes dark circles.
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
The violent heaving of his chest and belly made the suit make a sound of tearing fabric, and the fat and money in his arms poured out.
Tang Ning stood in front of the door with an empty expression, watching the red banknotes float from the man's pocket to the food scraps on the ground. The unbridled and strange laughter kept circling in his ears, and his hand on the door handle soon dropped weakly.
In the rain of money, Xiao Mi, who was lying on the ground, struggled to move and looked towards where Tang Ning was with difficulty.
Across the flying red, the young man standing in front of the door looked like an exquisite puppet, he looked over at a loss.
After Zhou's father and mother laughed so hard that the entire corner of the sofa collapsed, they finally stopped their strange laughter and leaned lazily on the tilted sofa.
The dark eyes looked at Tangning again, "Excuse me, did you just say that?"
Tangning's lips trembled, and she was unable to utter a word.
Father Zhou took out a stack of red banknotes from his pocket and shook the money. "I have money, why should I let my baby eat less and more meals?"
Mother Zhou pointed at the scattered money on the ground and said unhappily, "Oh, look at you, you're wasting money."
Father Zhou didn't care: "You can still use it if you pick it up."
"You have to use it up quickly. It won't be good if you keep it for too long." Zhou's mother pushed Zhou's father down unhappily: "You go!"
Father Zhou was as heavy as a mountain of flesh. He sat on the sofa unmoved, "You go."
"It didn't fall from me! Why should I go?!"
"Do I want it to fall? I..." Zhou's father was obviously in the wrong. He gave up arguing with Zhou's mother and turned to look at Lin Yun and Tang Ning who were standing by the door.
"Whoever comes and helps me pick up the money, I'll give him a hundred dollars." He said one hundred because there were only hundred-dollar bills on the ground.
His eyes rolled around, and Zhou's father added: "You can only come here alone!"
The work on the field could be done by one person, and it was obvious that Zhou's father was unwilling to pay twice.
Tangning turned his head stiffly and looked at Lin Yun, who was also looking miserable. The laughter just now was like a mental pollution, and Lin Yun was greatly affected as well as him.
Now they have three choices: Tang Ning goes, Lin Yun goes, and the last one is to open the door and run out immediately.
If Tang Ning went, he had a porcelain doll with him, and he could throw it to the ground if he was in danger. As for Lin Yun, her advantage was that she could run fast, and could quickly run from the sofa back to the door. Leaving now was undoubtedly the safest option, but they had analyzed it carefully in the afternoon and thought that being a guest was not only about staying for ten minutes, but also about obtaining useful props.
At this moment, the reward offered by Zhou's father looked very much like the props that the Zhou family could obtain.
The two of them looked at each other, and Lin Yun said softly, "I'll go."
Tangning took out the porcelain doll without hesitation and wanted to give it to Lin Yun, but Lin Yun quickly shook her head, "I dare not touch this thing. I have a feeling that if I touch it..."
"I'm going to die a horrible death."
The doll that looked like Su Anyun was still smiling, and there seemed to be a hint of mockery in that smile, suggesting that he had better know his place.
Tangning had no choice but to hold the doll in his hands. He frowned and looked at Lin Yun seriously, "I'd better go."
He has a powerful porcelain doll. If he really encounters danger later, he will throw the doll away. There are only two cracks on the doll. Tang Ning thinks that it will not break completely after just throwing it three times
And the most important thing is that after he and Lin Yun became teammates, Lin Yun helped him a lot, and when they encountered danger, it was Lin Yun who took on a bigger part.
But this is an A-level deputy, and Lin Yun is not strong enough to protect himself as an A-level deputy.
In the face of absolute difficulties, the two of them are like the stronger ant and the weaker ant, and he has an extra porcelain doll.
Tangning had not yet told Lin Yun about Su Anyun's story about the porcelain doll. Under Lin Yun's worried gaze, he held up his porcelain doll and said, "I have it~"
Lin Yun hesitated and nodded.
Tang Ning took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the sofa in the middle of the living room holding the porcelain doll. The floor was littered with food remnants and broken pieces of porcelain plates, so he tried his best to pick a clean spot to step on.
Although Tangning was very careful, as she walked into the living room, she realized that being careful was useless.
Because there were several layers of garbage on the floor of the living room, so much garbage that it formed a colorful carpet. If you wanted to walk inside to pick up money, you would inevitably step on the garbage.
"Hurry up, why are you dawdling? Haven't you eaten?" Zhou's father urged unhappily.
"I can treat you to a meal." Zhou's mother picked up a porcelain plate with foie gras sushi on it.
Tang Ning looked back at Lin Yun anxiously. Lin Yun was standing by the door, holding the door handle tightly. Tang Ning turned back again, his eyes wandering between Zhou's father and mother. These two were too fat, and their bodies seemed to be firmly embedded in the sofa. Even if they wanted to attack him, it would take them a long time to get up from the sofa, right
Tang Ning looked at the little cat in the dirt again. This little cat, who had been nimble before, seemed to have lost its fighting power.
Even though he's weak, maybe he can outrun these three bloated monsters
Tang Ning swallowed his saliva and tightly grasped the porcelain doll in his hand. He was still some distance away from the nearest bill. Standing outside the garbage, it would be difficult for him to pick up the bill. Tang Ning prepared himself mentally and stepped into the carpet of food waste. Sauce and lemon juice splashed on Tang Ning's shoes, but the most terrible thing was the squid under his feet, which sprayed out black ink.
He was wearing the same black canvas shoes as Su Anyun. Although the black color was not noticeable, the shoelaces were visible and were immediately covered with dirt.
Tang Ning tried hard to ignore the slippery feeling on his feet and bent down to pick up the money.
"Tangning!" Lin Yun's anxious voice came from behind.
Tangning looked up bewilderedly and saw Zhou's father and mother sitting on the sofa with the same eager expressions on their faces.
His fat tongue licked his greasy lips and Zhou's father said, "You stepped on food."
Most of the lipstick on her lips had been eaten, leaving only a trace of the outermost circle. Zhou's mother was very excited: "We can't waste food, eat it."
What?!
Tang Ning clenched the porcelain doll in her hand, ready to throw it at any time.
When the excited Zhou's father and mother saw the porcelain doll, their joy disappeared for the most part and was replaced by a strong sense of vigilance.
"Son, don't do it." Father Zhou raised his hand that looked like a Michelin tire, "We need to talk about reason."
"Food is so precious, it is bought with money. If you step on the food on the ground, it is equivalent to wasting food. It is not a waste unless you eat it." Zhou's father said casually: "Do you think I am right?"
Tangning tightly grasped her porcelain doll and gritted her teeth as she asked, "If you dump the food on the floor, will you still eat it?"
Father Zhou smiled and said, "I don't eat it, but my little Mi eats it."
The little cat that was named was twitching its feet on the ground. It meowed weakly and stood up with difficulty under everyone's gaze.
Four cat paws could hardly support such a bloated belly, and the ground was covered with garbage. The little cat slipped with every step it took. After walking two steps, it fell to the ground, and its round belly supported it to slide in the garbage.
It slid in front of Tang Ning.
Tang Ning stared at the kitten warily, fearing that it would jump up and attack him the next second.
Zhou's father and mother also looked at Xiao Mi with interest.
The fat cat, whose fur was stained by all kinds of food, put away its claws, put its small head close to Tang Ning's shoes, stuck out its tongue, and carefully licked the food residue on the surface of Tang Ning's shoes.
"Xiao Mi!!!" Zhou's father, who was sitting on the sofa, roared in disbelief.
The little kitten trembled when he yelled at it, and a faint meowing sound like crying came out of its throat.
Tang Ning stared blankly at the kitten at her feet, then looked at Zhou's father and mother who were banging their hands on the table on the sofa, and suddenly realized what was going on.
Zhou's father and mother asked him to eat the food on the grounds that food should not be wasted, but Xiao Mi took the initiative to help him eat the food he stepped on, thus solving the problem of his waste.
The kitten was no longer fit to eat, but it was still struggling to swallow the food that Tang Ning stepped on.
It eats hard and fast.
Tang Ning left the garbage-filled place, and Xiao Mi swallowed the squid that was crushed.
"Xiao Mi!" Zhou's mother also raised her voice and shouted.
Xiao Mi struggled to stand up and prepared to walk back. Tangning called out in shock, "Xiao Mi?"
The little kitten, whose features were covered in dark chocolate and could not be seen clearly, turned its head and looked at him.
Tangning squatted down, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the kitten's head. It seemed to be the first time the kitten had its head stroked, and it stared at Tangning blankly.
Tang Ning reached out his hand again and scratched the kitten's chin. The chubby orange cat narrowed its eyes and made a purring sound.
This is the sound a cat makes when it is truly happy.
