Chapter 893: Wildcat Again
"Who to hire?"
"this is my son."
Although Mr. Mu's face was stern, there was a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
……
Then, the topic of conversation among the regular customers of Xiao’s Teahouse today was that the son of the old Mu family had finally returned.
"Lao Mu and his family finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Their son is back."
"Yeah, it's been so many years, it's not easy."
"But why did you come back so suddenly?"
"What? You don't want your son to come back?"
"Of course not. It's just a little weird."
"What's weird?"
"Maybe I suffered a lot outside and felt that home is better."
"Yes, very likely."
"I heard that Xiaomu is learning the craft from Laomu."
"Lao Mu's craftsmanship has finally found a successor."
Xiao Xiao listened quietly for a while.
Then, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It seems that Mu Tansong has really put his words into practice and is learning wood carving from Grandpa Mu.
Grandpa Mu, you should be very happy, right?
Xiao Xiao walked into the kitchen and planned to help his father and grandfather.
When he arrived at the kitchen, he found that Father Xiao and Grandpa Xiao didn't need his help at all.
He stood there and watched for a while, then he started to make some snacks out of itching to do something.
There are quite a few.
Father Xiao, Grandpa Xiao:
I wasn't paying attention for a moment, how did this kid do so much? !
Xiao Xiao's snacks will not be served to the guests.
According to Father Xiao and Grandpa Xiao, his level is not yet good enough.
He couldn’t use his semi-finished products to fool customers and ruin the reputation of Xiao’s Teahouse.
So, facing a large table of refreshments, Father Xiao frowned and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't waste it."
"Ah."
Xiao Xiao smiled, "Don't worry."
"These refreshments will soon be gone."
Father Xiao and Grandpa Xiao looked at Xiaoxiao suspiciously as she was holding a snack box. "Don't eat too much at once."
“It’s bad for your stomach.”
"Ok, I know."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "I won't."
“I don’t eat these alone.”
After Xiao Xiao said this, Xiao's father and grandfather showed some realization, and no longer paid attention to Xiao Xiao, who was carrying a box of snacks, and concentrated on the snacks in their hands.
Xiao Xiao packed two large boxes of snacks.
He carried it into the yard.
After opening the lid, the aroma of the snacks wafts out.
The monsters slowly gathered around.
"Eat."
“This is the tea I made.”
Xiao Xiao took out plates of snacks and placed them on the table.
Soon, the stone table was filled with plates of snacks of various shapes and tempting aromas.
Looking at the monster eating with relish, Xiao Xiao smiled.
He picked up an empty plate and selected a few cakes and placed them on it.
Then he squatted by the pond under the white plum tree.
"Red carp, pearl fish."
"Would you like some refreshments?"
Xiao Xiao came to the pond under the phoenix tree again.
“Chuckle~Chuckle~”
It was like a sound ringing in my ears, hitting my eardrums, as tender as that of a baby, yet extremely strange.
"Hey, would you like some refreshments?"
Xiao Xiao moved sideways to avoid the splashes caused by the minnow, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Pitter patter~"
As dusk approached, a drizzle fell from the sky.
There was a slight coolness in the hot and humid air in midsummer.
There was a rustling sound above Xiao Xiao's head.
The branches of the white plum tree, which originally had some gaps between them, were now tightly intertwined.
The leaves overlap and the petals coincide.
"Thank you, Mei-nv."
Xiao Xiao looked up and smiled.
A white petal fell slowly.
It fell on Xiao Xiao's open palm.
The tentacles are slightly cool.
"Tweet~"
Mr. Xiao Xiao~
The pigeon rushed to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao skillfully stretched out his fingers to hold back a reckless monster that couldn't control its speed. This familiar feeling.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Is there going to be a fire somewhere again?"
The pigeon was stunned for a moment, then shook his head violently.
Xiao Xiao laughed.
But I felt relieved.
"Okay, I know it's not."
"Stop shaking."
He held the pigeon's head.
"Boo-boo~boo-boo~boo"
Lord Xiao Xiao, there are many cats at the door.
The baby spoon that came over later was concise and to the point.
"Chirp, chirp, chirp."
The pigeon grumbled a few words in displeasure.
It was just about to say it.
As a result, the baby spoon got there first.
How can a baby spoon interrupt what it wants to say?
“Ohhhh~ohhhh~”
The baby spoon rolled his eyes at the pigeon.
Who told you to procrastinate?
Xiao Xiao didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two monsters.
His attention was drawn to the subject of Baby Spoon's words.
cat?
He remembered the wild cats that chased the car he was in and asked him for help when the Pipa Ghost got into trouble last time.
Is it
Xiao Xiao suddenly stood up and strode towards the gate of the yard.
Open the courtyard door.
There were wild cats squatting or standing in a circle on the bluestone floor outside the door.
Xiao Xiao saw a familiar figure.
A cat with yellow eyes and mottled colors.
It was the cat leader who came to him to save the Pipa Ghost last time.
"Meow~"
A cat's meow with a bit of hoarseness was heard.
Xiao Xiao lowered his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
A black cat held its head high and slowly walked out from behind the other cats.
It looked at Xiao Xiao and meowed a few times.
Xiao Xiao:.
He doesn't understand cat language.
As if seeing that he had no reaction, the black cat glanced at the tabby cat, then stretched out its claws and tugged at Xiao Xiao's trouser leg.
"Meow~meow~"
"You want me to go with you?"
Xiao Xiao confirmed.
I somewhat dispelled the suspicion that something had happened to the Pipa Ghost.
Because tabby cats are calm.
He still remembered the cat's feat of chasing a car in the rain last time.
Well, this means that, although the Pipa Ghost is in trouble, it will be fine in the short term.
Or maybe it was not the tabby cat that was causing trouble for him this time, but the black cat.
"Meow meow~"
The black cat tugged at Xiao Xiao's trouser legs a few more times.
Xiao Xiao was a little worried about his trouser legs.
"I see."
"I will go with you."
"Before that, let go of my pants."
Noticing the somewhat dazed black cat, Xiao Xiao squatted down, pointed at his trouser legs, then lowered his eyes to meet the black cat's emerald eyes, "Otherwise, I won't be able to walk."
"Meow~"
The black cat's body tensed up instantly as the figure suddenly enlarged in his field of vision, and his already big pupils became even rounder.
The cat's claws unconsciously scratched Xiao Xiao's trouser legs.
Xiao Xiao:.
Well, that was all in vain.
His trouser legs were still torn.
"Meow meow~"
The tabby cat walked up to the black cat and called softly a few times.
What follows is the communication between the two cats.
Xiao Xiao supported his chin with his right hand, tilted his head, and watched the scene with great interest.
At this moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of emotion.
On the importance of mastering a foreign language.
Cat language.
He could probably only think about it.
"Meow~"
The two cats ended their conversation.
The tabby cat took a step forward, leaned down, and rested his head on his folded paws.
Be respectful.
The black cat followed suit and lowered its body as well.
