"In this case, you can go to auctions, markets and other places more often, and you may gain something." The old man said to Richard.
Richard nodded, already having a preliminary plan in mind, ready to entrust this matter to Alex.
"Okay." The old man said, "Do you have any other questions?" This was obviously what he was saying to banish guests.
Richard immediately picked up the book and stood up, and said very sensibly: "Well, there are no other questions. Please excuse me, Scholar Suradi, I'm leaving first."
"Yes." The old man responded and added, "By the way, I'll give it to you." This was obviously a polite word.
Richard heard the old man's hidden intention and quickly waved his hand: "No, I can just go by myself."
"That's okay." The old man said. He sat on the chair without getting up and kept rubbing his temples. It was obvious that the pattern consumed a lot of energy and he needed to rest.
However, the old man was a little embarrassed to do this, and said to Richard who was about to walk out the door: "I'll ask my granddaughter Heidi to see you off for me. Maybe you young people will have more things to talk about."
"Um, um..." Without allowing Richard to refuse, the old man already rubbed his temples and shouted, "Heidi, help me see off the guests!"
With a "squeak", the door opened, and the big-eyed girl Heidi walked in from the outside. She greeted the old man first, then walked politely in front of Richard, waved to the door, and said in a clear voice: "Please !”
"Uh." Richard stepped out.
With a "squeak" sound, as soon as she walked out of the study and closed the study door, the girl Heidi's expression changed instantly. She reached out to stop Richard, with red eyes and tears, she complained angrily: "You... you This big liar! You lied to me and said that you liked cats and didn’t think they were evil. But... you brutally killed them all while I was making tea for grandpa! I... I remember you, I...I won't let you go!"
"Is that really the case?" Richard said in his heart, looking at Heidi with a bitter smile, "You misunderstood me, I didn't kill those cats of yours."
"You are still making excuses. I have clearly seen them. They are lying on the ground motionless and they don't agree. What else can they do if they are not dead?" The girl became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her tears could no longer be controlled. "I My Napoleon, my Caesar, my Alexander, my Octavian... Wow, they are all dead."
"well-"
Richard sighed helplessly, and without explaining anything at the next moment, he pulled the girl and walked towards the cat room on the side.
Walking to the cat room, Richard reached out and grabbed a cat, loosened the clamp on the back of the cat's neck, and released his hand. The cat that was freed immediately rushed out like a resurrected stone statue.
"Ah!" Heidi was stunned and couldn't help but uttered in surprise.
At this time, Richard reached out and grabbed the other cats, quickly removed the clamps one by one, and released the cats.
Immediately all the cats were "resurrected".
Heidi was stunned at first. When she saw all the cats meowing and circling around her body, Heidi couldn't help but burst into laughter. She looked at Richard and asked, "You... what... what on earth is going on?" "
"To put it simply, these cats of yours are hostile to me and want to attack me. In order to make them calm down, I put a clamp on the back of their necks." Richard said, briefly describing what happened before. The story was told once.
After hearing this, Heidi couldn't help but ask: "Clamp the back of the cat's neck with a clamp, and they won't move? Why... why?" Obviously, she didn't know this knowledge at all.
Richard thought for a while, briefly organized the language, and explained it in words that Heidi could understand.
"Is that so? Is it because it reminds them of their mother..." Heidi nodded lightly after hearing this, then wiped her tears and said with some embarrassment: "Then... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"It's okay, but... I can go now."
"Uh, yes, of course. I'll see you off." As Heidi spoke, she was about to take Richard out, but she couldn't walk at all - the cats, who had finally regained their freedom, were crowded one by one. Beside her, a few bold cats even lay on her feet, making it impossible for her to take a step.
Heidi looked at the many cats and said helplessly: "Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander, Octavian, don't be like this, let me go quickly..."
Richard shrugged and looked at Heidi. He already knew that the other party's identity as a cat slave was confirmed, and said, "Actually, you don't need to send me off. I can just go by myself."
"Well, um... But grandpa asked me to send you..."
"No need really."
As Richard spoke, he walked out.
…
"Da da da… "
In the drizzle, Richard walked through the cobblestone path, walked out of the courtyard, and reached the street.
The carriage was waiting on the street. Richard approached and was about to get on the carriage when he heard the sound of soft footsteps behind him, and then Heidi's voice: "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
"Huh?" Richard stopped, turned around, looked behind him, and saw Heidi getting rid of the enslavement of many cats and hurriedly chasing them out.
The other party quickly ran closer, panting heavily.
Richard's eyes flashed and he asked, "What's wrong?"
Heidi said: "Well, it's like this. My grandfather said that he has a good impression of you and wants to help you. So, he asked me to tell you that there is a grand auction to be held in Baishi City recently. , maybe there will be something you need."
Richard nodded after hearing this: "Thank you grandpa for your kindness. If I have time, I will go and see it."
“But you can’t just enter the auction, you must have an invitation.”
"Well, invitation?"
"Yes, this is it. My grandpa asked me to give it to you." As Heidi said this, she reached into her arms and prepared to take something out. Apparently she was afraid of getting wet, so she put it close to her body.
But the next moment he reached in and took out... a pure white little milk cat.
"Anthony?" Heidi was stunned, "When did you get inside my clothes?"
Richard: "..."
Heidi blushed, fearing that the kitten would get sick from the rain, so she quickly put the kitten into her arms again, stretched out her hand and continued touching, and pulled out another thing, and it was... another kitten with black and white stripes.
"Crasus, why are you hiding in my clothes and causing trouble for me with Antony?" Heidi was so angry that she stuffed the little kitten inside again, continued to touch it, and finally took out a gold-plated invitation letter. Come on, hand it to Richard.
Richard accepted it and said to the girl, "Thank you grandpa for me."
"Yeah, I will."
"Then I'll leave first?"
"goodbye."
"Goodbye." Richard turned around and boarded the carriage, gave the order, and the carriage drove away quickly.
The girl watched the carriage leave, turned around and was about to go back to the house, when suddenly her clothes moved and a third little yellow and white kitten showed its head.
"Pompeo!" The girl lost her temper, stuffed the third little kitten with its head exposed into her clothes, and ran into the house.
The light rain continued to fall, and the raindrops seemed to be a little thicker.
