In the store, the clerks said angrily that they wanted to find out the cause of the guinea pig’s injury. Maybe it was an incident of pet abuse. Shen Yu did not participate in the topic but fell into deep thought.
It was obviously just a one-time relationship, although it was a bit unpleasant, but it made Shen Yu feel very concerned for some reason. He felt a little pain in his head. He suspected it was caused by the sequelae of the previous incident, so he went to the office to rest.
Customers were welcomed one after another, and the clerks finally calmed down. Those who received the greetings and those who cleaned the cages no longer discussed the injured pig.
Xu Maomao slowly walked over. The pig was lying down to recover from its injuries. When it saw him coming, it got up nervously. Its small black mung bean eyes were full of vigilance, and it pretended to imitate the sound of the guinea pig: “Gululu…”
“Meow~” Brother Rat, I have recognized your prototype!
The sorghum monster: “…chirp?”
“You are a mouse, right?” Xu Maomao raised his paw and pulled the cage, “Don’t be afraid, I don’t eat mice, but if you lie next, I will kick you out like a ball. Don’t think I don’t know. In fact, your injuries are not serious at all.”
The energy fluctuations are so strong, it’s obviously okay. Of course Xu Maomao wouldn’t actually kick it, but a mouse wouldn’t sneak in for no apparent reason. As a cat, he felt it was his responsibility to investigate the matter.
So he put on a fierce face and became more threatening.
The sorghum monster: “…”
This cat is not easy to fool!
“Tell me, did you come to our store yesterday just to have some food and drink?”
The sorghum monster said: “…whew.” It was _(:з ∠)_
“I knew it,” Xu Maomao said, seeing that it seemed honest, and his tone was dull. Then he became serious and asked with concern, “Where did the injuries on your body come from?”
The sorghum monster decided to win its sympathy: “The owner beat me for stealing things to eat.”
Xu Maomao was surprised: “Isn’t he keeping you as a pet?”
“My original appearance is too ugly. He doesn’t like me very much anymore. He hasn’t fed me in the past few days, so I have to steal food by myself.” The sorghum monster sighed, “I will definitely be abandoned soon. People’s hearts are so evil.”
Xu Maomao thought speechlessly: You are just a mouse. It is a miracle that that a person could keep you in the first place. Rats are not a pet species in the first place.
In fact, he was also afraid of mice, but they were both spirits and it was clean, so Xu Maomao had the courage to chat with it for a few words.
The more they chatted, the more he sympathized with it. This mouse seemed to be living a miserable life. He didn’t have enough food to eat, and he had to raise a bunch of little mice outside.
Later, Xu Maomao took advantage of the clerk not paying attention and secretly gave it a few small dried fish to eat. Guinea pigs could only eat vegetarian food, but mice could eat anything. Sure enough, when the sorghum monster saw the dried fish, he couldn’t wait to open his mouth and wolfed it down.
“You are the best cat I have ever seen.” The sorghum monster said in fear. He placed his eyes on the bag hanging around his neck and sighed silently: But I want to steal your things.
Xu Maomao actually wasn’t warm to it at all, but after seeing it being fed pig grass by Xiao Guan all day long, he kindly only gave it a little bit of dried fish, and the rat was very grateful.
“Well, you can go back if you are not injured. If you don’t steal anything in the future, your master will not beat you.” Xu Maomao persuaded it earnestly, thinking a little funnily: I am a cat, but I have to teach a mouse not to steal. Instead of doing Fa-rectification on the spot, it is also a great way to accumulate merit!
The sorghum monster nodded vigorously, then took out an ugly melon seed from somewhere and handed it to him.
“Mr. Cat, seeing this melon is like seeing me. From now on, when you see someone from the rat clan, just tell them my name and you can walk sideways!”
Xu Maomao, who took the melon seed, looked confused: I can walk sideways, what’s your misunderstanding about cats… Although I’m afraid of mice, mice are also afraid of me.
He originally wanted to decline the melon seed’s offer, but the sorghum monster insisted, so he could only accept it in person and put it in the bag around his neck.
The sorghum monster’s eyes lit up and he asked, “What’s that on your neck?”
Xu Maomao had been alert recently. When he heard the question, he quickly pressed down on the bag and said, “I can’t tell you.”
This cat was really hard to fool, so the sorghum monster could only change the topic.
Xu Maomao added: “You should take good care of yourself here. Don’t let those rats rescue you in the middle of the night. It will make humans suspicious. As monsters living in the city, we need to keep a low profile.”
The sorghum monster blinked and understood. It was immediately grateful for his guidance and felt silently annoyed that it had to steal from him. It didn’t feel much guilt when it came to stealing human food, because that was the nature of rats, just like a tiger hunting rabbits, it was just a way of survival. But when it came to establishing friendship, it felt very sorry to attack its friends.
The sorghum monster was struggling. If he didn’t steal, the man wouldn’t let him go. If he stole, he would be sorry for Mr. Cat.
It turned its head, which was not very bright, and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. It decided to steal the thing first and take it to the commission, and then steal it back after taking off the shackles and being free.
——When he got off work, Xu Maomao saw that Shen Yu didn’t come out and thought he was busy. Unexpectedly, when he went in, he found him taking a nap on his desk.
When he woke him up, Shen Yu was still in a daze.
After seeing Xu Maomao clearly, he hugged the kitten tightly, and his tone seemed to be very happy: “You are still here.”
Xu Maomao was confused: “Meow?”
“I had a dream…” Shen Yu murmured, not seeming to understand what those messy dreams were all about.
