The black cat was originally a town house, evil spirits, and fortune.
In ancient times, black cats actually meant auspiciousness. There are ancient books that record it as "a mysterious cat, a thing that wards off evil spirits. It is easy to place in the south. It is easy for descendants. Avoid and easy to move."
The ancients believed that black cats could drive away evil spirits, and it is true that wherever there are evil spirits and evil spirits, there will be black cats. Over time, people misunderstand that black cats are the culprits of bringing these ominous things.
And black cats usually take the initiative to suppress the existence of uncleanness, so there will always be black cats in places with strong evil spirits, because in this way, people in the world will mistakenly think that encountering black cats is a big evil. In fact, keeping a black cat at home can greatly ward off evil spirits.
Black cats were used as pets of witches in the Middle Ages in Europe. In the era of "witch hunting", a large number of women and cats were killed.
And here in Meng Yi, there are really two black cats, they all came to the door of the pet shop suddenly one day.
Of these two black cats, one is completely black, with clear yellow eyes, which seem to glow at night, agile and flexible, and very smart, named Momo. For some unknown reason, the rest of the body is pure black without any impurities, but the heel of the left hind foot is pure white soft fur, and the eyes are clear light green. It is relatively lazy, and it either eats or sleeps all day long. , always lying in a ball lying motionless in the nest, the head is not exposed, the name is Baihua.
These two black cats like to walk around the pet store twice with their eyes open at midnight, and then crawl back to their nests. There are surveillance in the store. When Lu Chu accidentally watched the surveillance, he discovered their habit. In the video, in the pitch-black night, only two pairs of jewel-like pupils could be seen reflecting the moonlight and street lights, which was very weird.
The two black cats have very different personalities, but without exception, they are both uncles.
In this pet store, except for radish, there is nothing that can cure the two of them.
When people buy cats, most of them are more inclined to the cute or silly types such as puppet and orange cats. Few people want to buy black cats. Even if they do, they will be looked down upon by them. Under the gaze of "you stupid humans", he retreated steadily. These two masters are also not close to anyone, and they will only respond when Lu Chu comes to tease them. Others, including the shop assistants, are all exempt from talking.
Beyond that, of course, they're terrified of 7.
The sensitivity of the black cat can be seen, 7's killing spirit is too strong.
Those who have been to the store are not without people who still want to raise them even if they are severely despised by them. Whenever this happens, Lu Chu will smile apologetically and say to others: "Animals have spirits. They are particularly repelled to go with a certain owner, and I wouldn't do that business."
In fact, most pets are docile, suitable for domestication by humans, and easy to develop feelings for their owners. Like these two cats, they are so free and undisciplined, not close to people, and extremely intelligent, they seem to be spirits.
Now Lu Chu is basically sure that there are grievances around this woman, and he can also guess her intention to buy a black cat from the pet store. Because of this, he will not give her the black cat at will. Black cats are also divided into age groups. The two black cats in the store are still kittens, and they are estimated to be only over one year old. Although the infant spirit is not an extremely powerful existence, it is still impossible to estimate the odds of winning the two against each other.
So he smiled politely, and said to the woman, "We do have black cats in our shop, but please..."
The woman said, "My surname is Zhang."
Lu Chu smiled: "Ms. Zhang, what is your original intention to raise a black cat?"
The woman was taken aback by the question: "I... I..."
Lu Chu glanced at Yuan Kejie and Luo Qi. They had been fighting side by side with a tacit understanding. Although Lu Chu didn't say anything directly, the two of them immediately understood the deep meaning in Lu Chu's eyes. Combined with what Lu Chu said to them earlier, the description of the key person gradually overlapped with the woman from years ago. Both of them were not stupid, and they immediately guessed that the woman in front of them was the woman who was haunted by the infant spirit in Lu Chu's mouth.
So Luo Qi silently retreated to the side, and Yuan Kejie was beside Lu Chu, acting as a qualified shop assistant and watching the situation by the way.
Lu Chu continued to speak softly: "Don't worry, people who come to our pet shop have been asked this question, and they are responsible for them as well as us."
Yuan Kejie took advantage of this time to bring a cup of hot water and handed it to Lu Chu: "Boss, here you are."
Lu Chu took it and handed it to the woman: "I think Ms. Zhang looks a bit haggard, why don't you drink some water first, and we'll talk about the cat later."
A 100% business-like smile appeared on Yuan Kejie's face: "Yes, I see that Ms. Zhang, you don't look very well. Is it because you haven't had a good rest recently? This is not okay. If you are always in this state, then why not?" It’s good to keep pets.”
Of course, she doesn't need to keep a good pet, she just wants to come here to find something to ward off evil spirits.
But she definitely couldn't say this directly, so she had to hesitate to take the cup, her eyes were blank, and her thoughts were dull, thinking about going to other pet stores for a while.
At this moment, the whispers of pedestrians suddenly came from outside, and many pedestrians walking nearby stopped, standing near the entrance of the pet shop and looking at something.
Lu Chu smiled and said to Ms. Zhang: "Sorry, I'll go out and have a look."
After finishing speaking, he was about to lift his feet and walk out. After taking two steps, he saw two powerful people walking in one after the other. The person at the front was wearing a burgundy suit, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, while the person at the back didn't say a word, looking quite ferocious.
Several people looked out, and saw a more flamboyant red convertible sports car parked by the side of the road.
And the person who was whispering at the door of the store just now was looking at this car. The pet shop is close to the road, and the brakes of the cars coming and going are constant, so even if they are outside, the few people don't realize that there is a car parked at the door.
Lu Chu and the others can be sure that he did it on purpose, and the reason may be that he just wants to embarrass them along with them.
When Song Gui saw Lu Chu, he waved enthusiastically: "Hey, Lu Xiaochu, long time no see, I miss you very much."
Luo Qi rolled her eyes: "Sao."
Yuan Kejie shook her head: "I can't be too coquettish."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Kejie waved to Qian Zhen: "Come on, come over to our side, stay there, your IQ will definitely be high."
Qian Zhen walked towards Yuan Kejie and the others without saying a word.
Before Song Gui told Qian Zhen that he had settled down, Yuan Kejie and Luo Qi were already at Lu Chu's place, and he came to drive to pick up Qian Zhen. Qian Zhen agreed without thinking too much. When he saw Che and Song Gui himself, he almost decided to jog over here. Anyway, it wasn't too far away in his opinion.
At this moment, Bai Hua, who was sleeping in the nest in the corner, suddenly jumped down from the table and walked towards Ms. Zhang with graceful steps.
It wagged its tail, licked its own paws, lowered its head and sniffed Song Rui's ankles, then quickly turned around and ran towards Meng's other black cat, meowing twice.
Bai Hua's actions made everyone's eyes turn to Ms. Zhang, and Song Gui naturally followed everyone's gaze to see her.
Song Gui was silent for a moment, looked at the woman with a frown, took off his sunglasses, and frowned: "Zhang Rui."
Lu Chu and the others were slightly stunned when they heard it. They turned out to be someone they knew
Yuan Kejie walked up to Song Gui's side with small steps, and said mysteriously, "So you are the father of the child."
Song Gui: "???"
"It was born by my cousin, my aunt."
