Chapter 196 If you can't control your mouth, just tear it to pieces
"It's already this late, and you still want to keep a cat?"
"I think it's because she lives too comfortably. This woman doesn't want to have a family... This is how her life will be."
"She treats her cat like her son and her parents every day, but her own parents don't care about her. This kind of person was born to collect debts. If I were her parents, I would strangle her to death when she was born."
"Look at the cat, its fur is so shiny and smooth, and I wonder how well it eats every day. But it only eats the dried meat in the bag of cat food and doesn't even smell the rest. My children don't raise their cats so carefully, wow~"
"Why do people say that humans are worse than animals? These young people..."
"I thought she looked pretty good before, and I was thinking of telling my nephew about her. After the natural disaster, maybe they could get married and have children soon after they get along for a long time. But now I think it's better to forget it. My nephew is handsome, sensible and filial. Don't marry this kind of prodigal woman to him, otherwise there will be no peace in the family in the future."
"You still have such little thoughts. Forget it. Young people nowadays keep cats and dogs and don't want to get married and have children. They are so noble. Maybe they don't even like your nephew."
"Hahaha, who said she wasn't? She's my mother-in-law's youngest daughter..."
The sarcastic conversation was amplified by the empty parking lot. Even though the few people who were gathered together chatting tried to lower their voices as much as possible, the cat's excellent hearing allowed Xingxing to hear all their conversations and the tone of disgust and criticism clearly.
Xingxing was originally lying in her mother's arms, but as the voices of those people reached her ears, she could no longer lie there.
"That's too much!" Qiuqiu said angrily, "How can these people be so harsh even on strangers? Tan Zhaozhao doesn't even know them, so what right do they have to secretly say bad things about Tan Zhaozhao behind his back?!"
Xingxing curled up her sharp claws that had never been trimmed close to the blood line, quietly stood up from her mother's knees, and lightly jumped onto the cool and hard ground.
The kitten stared with its dark green eyes at the human figures who were chatting behind the pillar with small stools, and then quietly approached with its short legs.
Tan Zhaozhao was taking a rest. She had been busy all day alone and her strength was exhausted. She thought Xingxing would also lie down in her arms and take a rest, but the kitten deliberately moved lightly and did not startle her at all.
Qiuqiu followed Xingxing closely and asked nervously, "Baby, what are you going to do? If the humans are too fierce, they will catch you and beat you!"
"It doesn't matter, they can't catch me." Xingxing said softly, and her small figure had quietly hidden behind the concrete pillar.
No one in the group discovered it.
As for those who discovered it, they just watched quietly and curiously.
Xingxing stood behind the pillar and listened quietly for a while. When she found that not only did they not shut up, but they were getting more and more excessive, her dark green eyes slowly narrowed.
Suddenly, it moved.
It moved very quickly, like a streak of orange starlight, abruptly landing on the human's shoulder and neck.
Without pausing for too long, Xingxing aimed at the human who had said the most outrageous thing. Then, he leaped up, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and successfully landed on the human's arm that was raised to protect his head amid the human's frightened screams.
Xingxing's movements were very steady. Almost the moment it landed on the human's arm, it swung out its claws and scratched the human's chattering mouth.
When the human tried to swing his arms in horror to smash it to the ground, Xingxing did not pause at all, but jumped onto the other's head and looked around steadily at the other humans who stood up and scattered in panic and astonishment.
The kitten, which was only one month old, arched its back and breathed fiercely at these people. Its round green eyes reflected the panic-stricken looks of these people. After a long while, it jumped off the heads of the humans and ran away without looking back.
Only a naive command was left.
"If you can't control your mouth, just tear it to pieces."
Qiuqiu was stunned. Xingxing...broke through the seal of supernatural powers?
The kitten ran away, but the chaos had just begun.
The person who heard the noise and came over to help catch the cat failed to catch Xingxing. When he turned around to care for the person who was caught by the cat, he found that these people seemed to have gone crazy.
They actually scratched and tore each other's mouths and cheeks frantically with horror, as if they wanted to tear the mouths off their faces.
Their families ran over and tried to stop them, but all their efforts were in vain because they struggled so violently, and as soon as they let go, these people would start scratching their mouths again. Some even tore the corners of their mouths, and blood flowed down their mouths and chins, which looked extremely horrifying.
"… Could it be that they have rabies?"
"That's not right. The cat was so small, and it only caught one person. Not to mention that rabies doesn't develop that quickly, is it possible that other people would be infected in just a few seconds?"
"What's going on? Could it be that he's possessed by a ghost?"
"...It's possible. There's so much yang energy outside, and there's a lot of yin energy inside. Maybe they were targeted by some dirty creature. And I heard that cats with green eyes can ward off evil spirits. Maybe they really provoked some unclean creature."
The chaos caused quite a noise and Tan Zhaozhao was woken up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xingxing crawling towards her with her short legs.
She smiled and held the kitten in her arms, then looked in the direction of the chaos curiously, "What happened?"
Song Qianyi, who also heard the noise, glanced at the cute little orange cat lying in her arms, and reminded her in a somewhat strange tone: "Maybe you can ask your cat."
cat?
Tan Zhaozhao's heart tightened, and he subconsciously protected Xingxing. After realizing that he seemed to be a little too vigilant, he slowly relaxed and asked with a frown: "What's going on? Is it related to Xingxing?"
Song Qianyi shrugged, "I don't know, anyway, I just came out and saw your cat jumping off the head of the man with the rotten face."
As for what happened before, Song Qianyi also regretted that she didn't get to taste the fresh melon.
Tan Zhaozhao frowned unconsciously, looked down at the star in his arms, patted its head soothingly, and asked in a low voice: "Did they hit Xingxing anywhere? Does it hurt?"
Song Qianyi next to him: "......?"
A question mark slowly appeared in my head.
She asked incredulously, "No, didn't you understand what I said? Those people must have been hurt by your cat. Aren't you worried that they might come to you to punish you? Why don't you worry about whether your cat was beaten?"
"...Aren't you afraid of getting beaten?"
Song Qianyi couldn't understand. She felt that Tan Zhaozhao seemed to value the cat more than his life.
While the two were talking, the people who had been desperately trying to stop their family members from "self-harming" finally found the culprit from other people's mouths. They had already formed a team and were walking towards this side aggressively.
Seeing this, Song Qianyi's eyes turned cold and she reached out to pull Tan Zhaozhao, who was still standing there, behind her.
"Why are you still standing there? Go find Tang Jin and the others to support you, otherwise you will really get beaten!" She said in an anxious tone.
Tan Zhaozhao pursed her lips and did not go looking for anyone. Instead, she walked to Song Qianyi with Xingxing in her arms, calmly looking at the men and women who came over with gloomy faces.
There were also a few people behind them who were still struggling frantically and tearing their mouths, and many more people who were joining in the fun.
"Are you crazy?" Song Qianyi didn't expect that she didn't leave at all and came back like this.
Yes, the culprit cat is still in his arms!
"Thank you, but it's okay." Tan Zhaozhao only had time to say thank you before a group of people approached her.
Xingxing was in her mother's arms, her fur puffing up as she blew air at these people. The crowd, who had just seen and heard of her weirdness, stopped involuntarily, and their momentum unconsciously weakened a bit.
"Are you the owner of this wild cat? Do you know what it did? Hurry up and let it cure my mother, or do you believe that I will skin it and stew its meat?!"
The man glared at Tan Zhaozhao ferociously, and his hand stretched straight towards Xingxing.
Tan Zhaozhao took a half step back while holding the cat, avoiding his movements, and then said in a deep voice: "You said it was my cat who did it?"
She looked at the crazy people. Even though Xingxing hadn't said anything from beginning to end, she was calm enough to ask them back: "Then do you know why my cat doesn't look for anyone else but them?"
"… Damn it, why do I care about you? Give me the cat! I don't believe this cat is really that weird. If it is really weird, then kill it and let it turn into a ghost and come to seek revenge on me!"
The man reached out again.
This time no one could see the movements of the stars clearly.
It leaped out quickly, avoiding the man's palm, and ran along his arm to his shoulder. Then, with a tender but fierce meow, its sharp claws scratched the flesh on the man's Adam's apple.
Blood trickled down, and all the onlookers were shocked. They subconsciously stepped back, leaving a large space. They all stared at the stars in horror, as well as the man who suddenly sensed deadly danger and froze in place, not daring to move.
Tan Zhaozhao looked at Xingxing with some concern, but soon suppressed his worry, met the man's horrified gaze, and said in a deep voice: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. My cat has always been very obedient and never waves its claws at good people. Before you judge my cat, I think you should ask your mother what she did or said."
After a pause, Tan Zhaozhao sneered: "Even if you are possessed by an evil spirit, why would you be possessed by any other evil spirit? Why have you to be possessed by this kind of evil spirit with a rotten mouth and a rotten face? Before you find out the truth, you'd better not turn the tables and put the blame on my cat. Otherwise, when the truth comes out, don't blame me for smashing your mouth and your mother's mouth!"
At this time, someone in the crowd finally reacted and said loudly, "I know! I know! Those people gathered together to gossip about other girls, and their gossip was so dirty! I couldn't stand it at the time and covered my girl's ears to stop her from listening. Don't teach her bad lessons!"
"I live nearby, and my family heard it, too. These people are really mean, saying all kinds of nasty things. They are getting their comeuppance now. They used to be the ones in our neighborhood who loved to gossip together the most, talking about everyone's gossip!"
"So it was them. They really deserved it. They have nothing to do every day and just gossip about others behind their backs. They don't even care about their children at home."
"Isn't there someone in charge now?"
“You deserve it!”
"that is……"
As new discussions arose, the man's face turned blue, red and purple, and finally, in anger, he reached out to vent his anger on Xingxing.
Unfortunately, the cat was still not caught.
The cat was much faster than him.
In the blink of an eye, it jumped from behind him to the ground with glaring blood marks on its claws.
After wiping its paws clean, it ran back into its mother's arms and quietly turned its head to watch the farce it had created.
"Kid, it seems like things have gotten a bit out of hand." Qiuqiu estimated that all the survivors in the community were here.
Li Shan and her friends were called away by other survivors to help build a temporary shelter. When they came back, they just happened to see this confrontation scene and the image of a man covering his neck and bleeding.
"…What happened?" Tang Jin separated himself from the others and walked forward.
When some people saw the official team coming, they made way for them and waited for them to approach, then they told each other what had happened.
Li Shan walked straight up to Tan Zhaozhao and asked her in a low voice if she was okay, and also asked if Xingxing was injured.
After getting negative answers, she turned around and glared at the man who was looking for Bai Yichen to treat his injuries, and said sarcastically: "You are such a man. Bullying a woman and a cat has ruined your ability. No wonder they say that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Maybe when your mother gossips about others, others are also cursing you and your mother behind their backs!"
Everyone: “…”
This little girl's speech...how come it sounds so strange even though she doesn't use a single curse word?
What do you mean by your mother, your mother? Is it really his mother instead of his mother?
