Shen Yu reluctantly opened the window, and the big white pigeon fluttered its wings and flew in. When it flew in front of Xu Maomao, it raised its head and screamed.
“Gurgulu~”
Mr. Cat, I am the messenger Bai Yu. This is a postcard sent to you by Mr. Lu Bao of the Frog Clan.
Xu Maomao was surprised and happy now. It turned out that Lu Bao usually relied on carrier pigeons to send postcards.
Bai Yu pecked a small package off her feet with her beak and pushed it over. She shook her wings and said, “Gu.” She asked Mr. Cat to inspect the goods in person.
Xu Maomao was sweating profusely and opened the small package with his paws and mouth. There were two photo postcards in total. One was a photo of Shen Yu and Lu Bao, and the other was a photo of Lu Bao with a pile of rocks in Qidaling. On the photo Lu Bao smiled happily, but with his mouth wide open it looked like he didn’t have any teeth (actually he had teeth), and he was so bare that he looked a bit silly.
Bai Yu: “Gulu.” Mr. Cat, check if there are any omissions?
Xu Maomao thought that he might have just sent a postcard or a photo, so he meowed with a smile: “No problem, thank you Ms. White Pigeon.”
As expected of a white pigeon spirit that travelled all over the world, its lingua franca was very standard, Xu Maomao thought. It didn’t take any effort for Maomao to understand her, and it didn’t take any effort for her to understand Xu Maomao.
Bai Yu then lowered her head, pecked the inside of the wing with her beak, took out a feather and placed it in front of Xu Maomao. The feather was slightly yellower than the one on its body, and it looked like it had been plucked out a long time ago. He just didn’t know how it could fly with this feather attached.
This feather had been pecked into three sections. Bai Yu purred: “Mr. Cat, please rate my service this time. From left to right, it is negative, medium, and good.”
Xu Maomao thought it was an eye-opener. He didn’t expect that the Demon Clan was also following human civilization very closely. Out of a kind habit, he gave it good reviews. Anyway, in his opinion, Bai Yu’s service was impeccable.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu remained motionless after receiving the evaluation. Her mung bean-sized eyes looked at the cat in amazement, very surprised.
You must know that it had been in service for many years and had encountered many arrogant and unreasonable little monsters and monster bosses. Usually it could only get neutral reviews. Occasionally, it would receive negative reviews or even complaints due to delayed delivery on rainy days. As for good reviews, only repeat customers gave them, she never expected that this cat would be so kind, and he would give it good reviews in the first time.
“Thank you, Mr. Cat.” Bai Yu said briskly, then flapped her wings, turned around and flew out. Naturally, it would be more formulaic to send too many items, but Xu Maomao still felt its good mood.
Shen Yu and Xu Maomao framed the photos and kept them in a small photo album.
He originally wanted to send some food back to Lu Bao, but Lu Bao said that he was on the road now and had “no fixed place to live”. Sending food would increase the workload of the messenger pigeons, so he declined their kind offer.
However, Lu Bao probably thought Xu Maomao was interesting, so he sent many more photos one after another not long after he sent the postcard for the first time. It wrote almost every day. Every time it arrived at a “spot”, it took beautiful photos and reported its itinerary to Xu Maomao in an almost live broadcast. It also annotated frog language on the postcards. Later, Xu Maomao had to borrow a translator from the goddess Alalei, and specially translate Lu Bao’s words into cat language that he could understand.
[Mr. Cat, I have arrived at XX Highway today]
[Mr. Cat, I have passed XX Highway. There are many human four-wheeled boxes blocked in front of me. I can easily get around it]
[Mr. Cat, I am about to arrive at City B. My map shows that there are still less than ten kilometers]
[Mr. Cat, I picked up a human porcelain. It looks like you. Humans seem to call it a lucky cat]
[Mr. Cat, I entered the OO gate and soon I can see Brother Yu, but why do I see so many humans wearing uniforms on the shore?]
The last postcard was sent when Lu Bao was still far away from the lotus pond. It turned out that the people from the Forestry Bureau and Environmental Protection Bureau were still there. Water quality changes were being measured there.
Because he kept receiving postcards recently, he had become more in touch with Ms. Messenger. Bai Yu was still formulaic and didn’t talk much, but Xu Maomao gradually became familiar with it. If it came, he would treat it with millet. Bai Yu’s reward was that every time he received a letter, it would be sent to Shen Yu as soon as possible. Therefore, as soon as Lu Bao handed this postcard to Bai Yu, within an hour, the postcard was already opened by Xu Maomao.
Just as he was about to put the postcards from the OO door into the photo album with a smile, Xu Maomao suddenly felt the bell around his neck buzzing.
This was the first time that the bell vibrated on its own. Xu Maomao opened it and saw that Lu Bao had activated a domineering function known as “calling you to death”. It vibrated once for 10,000 likes. Xu Maomao usually couldn’t bear to use this function.
Lu Bao actually spent a lot of money to activate this function. Was it because of something urgent?
Xu Maomao didn’t care about the photos anymore and quickly opened it to take a look.
[Brother Yu is missing!]
This was a message from half an hour ago.
[Really missing! I have checked all the corners where he usually stays, and the air-raid shelter was somehow destroyed. The neighbor grass carp couple said they hadn’t seen him for a long time, and what should I do?]
This was a minute ago.
[The golden toad is far away in the west and cannot help me. Mr. Cat, please help me. Check the information, Mr. Cat!]
This was ten seconds ago, and then it turned on “Call you to death”, obviously it was too anxious to do anything.
Xu Maomao then quickly typed in a few words: I’m here.
A video call quickly came from Lu Bao. After the call was connected, he saw a green mist in front of him, and there were a lot of water plants floating around. It looked like it should be underwater.
“Mr. Cat! You finally gave a reply QUQ!” Lu Bao croaked.
Xu Maomao: “Don’t worry, maybe your brother Yu is playing hide-and-seek with you?”
Lu Bao didn’t understand what “hide-and-seek” was, but he had no time to understand this behavior, so he croaked: “It’s not true. I have launched all the aquatic tribes on the seabed to search. Brother Yu’s body is so big and conspicuous. It is impossible for him to escape the search of so many aquatic tribes. So he must not be in this water area.”
Xu Maomao: “Can’t you contact Brother Yu through the copper coin?”
“Brother Yu hasn’t obtained the Golden Seaweed Badge yet. The Fish Clan is very strict and doesn’t grant permission easily, so I can’t contact him directly.” Lu Bao looked frightened, “I heard that some humans have been secretly fishing here for a while, and now I’m worried that Brother Yu might have been caught by them!”
Xu Maomao was also stunned: “Caught? Isn’t your Brother Yu a koi carp?”
“Yes!” Lu Bao seemed to have thought of something. The scary thing was, “Humans really like to eat carp, don’t they?”
Not only humans, but cats also liked to eat it. Although Xu Maomao knew something was wrong, his cat instinct was at work and he subconsciously thought of canned fish, fish head with chopped pepper, steamed carp, beer fish and many other delicacies…
“Koi is very expensive, so in general humans are reluctant to eat it,” Xu Maomao forced himself to divert his attention from eating, “Maybe it was taken away and put into a glass jar for viewing.”
How could Lu Bao know the difference between viewing and eating? He only knew that Brother Yu may be imprisoned, and he may be disemboweled, stripped of bones and scales by a chef one day when he was fattened up. Suddenly, he was sweating and thinking of Brother Yu’s voice and smile – Brother Yu was so fat and looked very plump at first glance. It would be strange if humans were not tempted!
Xu Maomao quickly comforted him: “Don’t worry, I’ll ask my human to help you find out. He’s very powerful. Just wait in the water first. Don’t be caught by the people who are keen on eating frogs when the time comes, because eating spicy fried frogs has been particularly popular in the past two years…”
Gudong, a mouthful of saliva.
But Lu Bao was not willing to abandon Brother Yu, whose life or death was unknown. He couldn’t eat well and wait for news in the pond. He said without hesitation: “I will help you!”
“Ah? What do you want?”
“Frogs have a lot of power. I’ll go find you! Let’s find a solution together!”
