Qiuqiu is a cat with tortoiseshell markings on its head, back and tail.
For the sudden appearance of this strange human being Lin Lan, Qiuqiu would have gone back into the house and hid long ago if the former cat boss had not been there to protect him.
But before it subconsciously took two steps back, the little cat suddenly realized that he actually understood what this human had just said.
Qiuqiu took two steps back and leaned forward again, looking up at Lin Lan, who had already squatted down, with round cat eyes: "Meow...! Meow!" (Have you seen Grandpa? He hasn't come back yet! He went so far this time hunting!)
Suddenly hearing the owner's news, the cat's meow was excited and high-pitched, but it was also naive.
Uncle Li was hospitalized due to a sudden illness, and finally died in the hospital, so this cat still doesn't know that its owner has passed away.
"Well, he has come a long way this time hunting..." Lin Lan's voice involuntarily became astringent, "So he was injured and has no way to come back here."
Because he was told to hide in advance, Song Xinmin, who could only peek at the development of Uncle Jiang's house, could not hear the boss, who had gone far away, and was squatting there and talking to Hua Mao.
However, the human voice could not be heard, and after the boss finished speaking, the sound of the cat at the back changed from a high-pitched excitement to a whimpering sound that was still very clear.
whine? Did the boss tell Qiuqiu that Uncle Li was gone through her tenth-level cat language
In front of the door of the empty house, Qiuqiu was anxiously circling around Lin Lan, meowing and whining from time to time, asking Lin Lan to take it to Uncle Li.
"Qiuqiu." When the cat was pulling her trouser legs, Lin Lan reached out and picked it up, and let it run down the ground, "Qiuqiu, you are an adult cat, you should also know that Mr. Li is old, in fact I don't have much energy to hunt for food."
"Meow..." (I'm going hunting, I'm looking for food for Grandpa!)
This innocent tone seemed familiar, very similar to the scene when Snowflake brought her food, but Lin Lan couldn't help laughing.
"No way, Uncle Li failed to hunt and can't eat what you gave him, so his child will take care of him." With a tone of lying to a child, Lin Lan just hoped that the cat's distress would be lighter. , "He is old, and it will take a long time to recover from the injury, and it will be too long to come back to see you again."
The whining sound of the cat's voice sounded again, and Lin Lan reached out and touched its head.
"That's why he asked me to come over. Uncle Li explained something very important to me, so I must come over and tell you." Holding the cat in his arms, Lin Lan took it backwards and left the door of the old house , "Uncle Li asked me to tell you that although he can't come back, the heavy responsibility of housekeeping still has to be handed over to you. But this time, Uncle Li asked you not only to look after the original home, but also the house next to you in the future. The place to look after."
Having said that, she touched the head of the flower cat and pointed it to Uncle Jiang's house next door.
Like other animals, cats are territorial. Like snowflakes, cats not only pay attention to their own territory, but also to all the creatures that live in their territory. Every domestic cat has a different life relationship with people. Some cats will treat people as the boss and rely on the shit shoveling officer; but there are also cats who will treat themselves as the boss of adults, consider themselves parents, and fuck for those two-legged beasts. Endless heart.
Huamaoqiuqiu is the latter.
Hearing this request suddenly, Huamao was a little stunned. Of course it knew about the house and people next door, and was familiar with it.
"Meow..." (Is this also Grandpa's site?)
"Yes, the day Uncle Li went hunting, the new expansion was made." Lin Lan opened his eyes and said nonsense, "He is old and injured, and he can't continue to patrol his new territory. He asked me to tell you, this new territory and the inside People can only be taken care of by you in the future."
If the cat didn't move again, it should be said that the news has not been digested.
Lin Lan was not in a hurry, just carried it and walked into Uncle Jiang's house: "You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can go in and smell it. There are several things of your grandfather in it."
As soon as she said this, Lin Lan almost didn't need to move, Xiao Hua Mao jumped off her arms with a kick, and slipped into Uncle Jiang's room.
In the old house of the Jiang family, just as Mr. Jiang unearthed the things that Old Man Li had given him before, and placed them scattered in conspicuous places in the house as agreed in advance, he heard Qiuqiu calling and running into his house.
"Really come in?" Qiuqiu, who refused to leave home no matter how tempted he was, actually entered his house this time. Uncle Jiang was both surprised and delighted, "Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu!" , he wanted to pick up the cat.
Then fluttered.
The cat was constantly confirming that there were objects in the house that smelled of Uncle Li, and it really smelled the familiar smell, and the cat gradually stopped spinning.
Then he was picked up by Lin Lan again.
"How about Qiuqiu? I didn't lie to you, right? This is your new home in the future." Uncle Jiang heard what the young girl holding Qiuqiu said to the cat, but people moved towards him, "This is Uncle Jiang, you know him, and he will have to rely on you to cover him in the future."
After listening to Lin Lan's words, Huamao Qiuqiu turned her head to Uncle Jiang, who was looking at it eagerly. After watching it for a while, she gave him a meow.
"Qiuqiu... What does this mean?" Although the old man didn't understand cat language, he still understood something from the call, but Uncle Jiang himself couldn't believe it and wanted to get further confirmation.
Lin Lan didn't disappoint him, and smiled and handed the cat over: "As you think, Qiuqiu admits that this is his new home. Not only will he stay here in the future, he will also join the old house over there. If you patrol, you will become a house cat with two buildings.”
Uncle Jiang understands, what method should this young girl use to make Qiuqiu expand its territorial awareness from Li's old house to his house. Objects with the smell of Li's old man are auxiliary means. success.
"Okay, this is good, it can't be better." Holding the cat, Uncle Jiang slowly sat back on the chair he used to sit on, put the cat on his knees and gently stroked, "Qiuqiu, in the future I'll support you. I'm different from Old Man Li. My body is in good shape. Even if I get sick, my children will be willing to continue to support you for me. Don't be afraid, no one will leave you in the future. "
The old man's hoarse voice was very gentle, and the kind of tranquility and magnetic field unique to the creature's twilight made Qiuqiu feel a familiar feeling.
The cat lay quietly on Uncle Jiang's knees, and slowly purred as the old man stroked again and again.
It has taken this place as its own territory, its own home.
There are also new Twolegs to guard.
After rejecting Uncle Jiang's sincere thanks and wanting to send something as a gift, Lin Lan and Song Xinmin left this old street and started their journey back.
"The manager's cat-taming skills are really amazing. He solved Qiuqiu's problem in such a short time!" Song Xinmin was very excited, and the girl next to him who was at most a few years older than him was probably the one who had been in his entire life. The best cat tamer I've ever seen.
It should be noted that there are no cats among the several animals that have been completely domesticated by humans. They can only be regarded as semi-domesticated at most. Even the cute meowing is a language specially invented to ask humans for a living. This kind of domestication is difficult to imagine compared to dogs.
But these difficulties are completely in the hands of the boss. She is very aware of the cat's emotional changes, and she can always respond with dexterity and how to take the next step.
"Take some luck." Lin Lan waved her hand modestly, "If you hadn't heard that the neighbor, Uncle Jiang, wanted to adopt a cat, it would have been so easy to solve the Qiuqiu problem."
The mouth is humble, but the heart is relieved.
It can only be said that communication is very important. If she hadn't had a golden finger who could talk to cats, it would not have been so easy for her to spend so much time successfully fooling a kitten. Just letting it take the initiative to expand its territory and include Uncle Jiang's family into its own guardian territory is enough for her to exhaust her thoughts.
A cat with an IQ of two or three years old at most can do it easily.
Oh, and there are some exceptions.
"By the way, I just said hello to the cat boss. He said that he is willing to cooperate with you to take a few photos today." Lin Lan said as she dug out a few cats from the bag she was carrying just in case. Canned, "These are the model remuneration for the three days. After the filming is over, remember to send it over. Then you can move freely. I will go back to the store first."
Throwing the can into Song Xinmin's hand, Lin Lan greeted him and went back directly.
It was almost noon. The eldest lady was looking at the shop in the teahouse alone. Manager Lin said she was still a little worried.
When I returned to the small building, it was just in time for lunch. My mother had just cooked lunch, and she would put it in a box and send it to the people who looked at the store downstairs.
When he saw his daughter came back, he directly handed over the packing work to her.
"How is it, the cat is settled?" Of course, during this period, he will not miss the opportunity to ask.
"It's set up." Lin Lan filled the food boxes one by one and replied while busy, "The kitten has been successfully adopted by the neighbor's uncle. The family likes Qiuqiu, so don't worry about the kitten coming out because of the old man in the future. Accidental abandonment."
Wang Xiuzhi immediately looked relieved after hearing this: "That's good, that's good."
Lin Lan also felt the same way. Uncle Jiang got his wish and adopted the cat, but Qiuqiu, who was adopted, did not leave his previous home, but also got a new home and family. He has a cat with a mission again, and his life will be safe in the future. Go down smoothly.
Well, the cat boss also solved the difficult life of the younger brother who left the team. Also as the store manager, she also helped the employees to solve some difficulties in the photography work.
Mutual win and mutual benefit, the ending is perfect.
Carrying the food box, Lin Lan went downstairs and returned to the teahouse, where she received a surprise welcome from Wang Jiayi.
Of course, this one was inevitably curious and asked, and Lin Lan naturally answered them one by one.
The emotional eldest lady's eyes started to turn red when she heard the whole story, she held the chopsticks and lowered her head and choked: "It's good, Lan Lan, Qiuqiu is happy again, and it's really good that you don't have to be abandoned again."
"Your reaction is too exaggerated." Lin Lan said helplessly.
"That's not an exaggeration!" Wang Jiayi pouted and retorted, bent down and hugged Jinjira, who was nestled beside her legs, "I just thought of my silver darling, it was taken by the store manager before you met. The owner abandoned it and became a stray cat. That ball is stupider than Baiyin, and will only foolishly guard the house and not go out. If it starved to death like this, I would really regret it. "
As she said, she lowered her head and rubbed her face against the cat, Jinjira raised her little head, and let out a soft meow at its royal shit shovel officer, which made the eldest miss melted and started rubbing against the cat again.
Lin Lan, who could understand the cat language, froze, and immediately decided to treat Bai Yin's sentence, "Minion, don't put the oil on my hair on my hair" as not listening.
In fact, the language is not the same, sometimes it is good.
False prosperity and perfect relationships are still much needed these days.
Thinking so, Manager Lin continued to bow his head to eat.
Having eaten and drank enough, the eldest lady, who used to have no fingers on Yangchun Shui, took the initiative to take over the task of washing dishes and chopsticks. Lin Lan was very happy. After resting in place for a while, she went to the foster room in the compartment to see the cage. ocelot.
A few days later, after getting familiar with the environment, the leopard cat has completely let go of its hostility and rejection towards Lin Lan. Manager Lin now opened the cage and stretched out his hand, and the former violent cat came out obediently and jumped into her arms.
"How is it, Gray? Interested in playing with the other cats in the store?"
