Chapter 85 Buying a Cat
"This is Huahua, she's very well behaved."
Lingling squatted down, stroked the cat's back, and introduced it to Yu Mu: "It's very good. It can catch several moles every day. Once, it even caught a crystal wolf! Mom rewarded it with a large piece of roasted crystal wolf meat that day!"
She spoke with great pride, and the cat seemed to understand, narrowing its eyes and pouting its mouth, looking very happy.
"Can they even catch the Crystal Wolf?"
Yu Mu looked at the cat in shock and saw that it was very big, almost the same size as a Husky, with shiny and smooth fur. It looked majestic without being angry when sitting there, and occasionally showed a silly look. Judging from its size, it was more than twice as big as the previous tabby cats. Maybe it could really catch the crystal wolf.
"Huahua, can you help this sister look after this land from now on?"
Lingling pointed to the green moss field and said to Huahua.
Huahua immediately raised her head and looked at the field seriously. Lingling said, "Look at the green vegetation on the ground. I worked so hard to plant this. Don't let the moles eat it, okay?"
"Meow……"
Flowey cried out, narrowing her eyes.
Lingling then said happily: "Huahua agreed. It will help you look after this piece of land in the future."
The little girl's enthusiasm is irresistible!
"That's not good."
Yu Mu said a little embarrassedly: "If Huahua shows me this, you won't have a cat to watch over you at home. I'd better go back and buy another cat."
"Sister, do you want to buy a cat?"
Lingling's eyes lit up at once, and she said, "I happen to have a few kittens at home, they are all Huahua's children. It's been exactly one month since they left home, and now they can leave. Mom is looking for a new home for them, but I don't want them to leave here. If you can buy them, they can stay with us!"
This is almost a very good situation.
Yu Mu immediately prepared to buy a few cats. She followed Lingling to Zhang Chengyan's house and saw that although this family was located in the suburbs, which was a big pollution tank, there was a small purification robot in the house that was constantly spraying water for purification.
Water cannot purify the pollution in the air, but if you add some purifiers to the water, it will make the air in the house seem good and not as smelly as outside.
"Aim, aim."
As soon as they entered the house, several kittens ran up to the big cat and meowed at Lingling, as if to say hello. Lingling touched the cats one by one and introduced them to Yu Mu: "Sister, there are three kittens in total, Xiao Hei, Xiao Hua and Xiao Cai. Which one do you want?"
The kittens were all very healthy and were lying on the ground having fun.
Yu Mu didn't know what to choose. He thought the tabby cat was very pretty, but the black kitten was also very pretty. It was black all over, with only four white legs. The other cat named Xiao Cai was colorful all over, with black, white, orange and purple, and it looked the most energetic.
"How much is this kitten?"
Yu Mu thought about it and decided to check the price. If possible, she would buy them all. After all, there would be a lot of fields to plant in the future, and she would definitely need a lot of cats to deal with gophers.
"I don't know about that. I'll go call mom over. Wait a minute, sister!"
Lingling said this and ran upstairs.
Yu Mu squatted down and said to the cats, "Xiaohua, Xiaohei, Xiaocai, hello!"
Huh?
When the kittens heard her shout, they all turned to look at her, as if they understood what she said. This surprised Yu Mu very much. She immediately squatted down and clapped her hands, calling out, "Xiaohua, Xiaohei, Xiaocai..."
"Mimi."
Soon, the first cat, named Xiaohua, came over hesitantly. It poked its head out, staring at Yu Mu's face with its sapphire eyes, and took careful steps with its soft little cat paws. Then it stopped in front of Yu Mu and rubbed its head on Yu Mu's outstretched palm.
Such a soft feeling.
Yu Mu immediately touched its head. Xiaohua hummed and moved closer. Yu Mu could touch its entire body. This kitten was so gentle and affectionate.
Yu Mu couldn't help but stroke its head and back, and Xiaohua let her touch it and purred comfortably.
Perhaps attracted by Xiaohua's cry, the other two kittens, Xiaohei and Xiaocai, also came over. Like Xiaohua before, the two kittens hesitated at first, taking one step and stopping, and slowly came in front of Yu Mu, then stopped and looked at her.
Yu Mu discovered that Xiao Hei's pupils were red, Xiao Cai's pupils were yellow, and each kitten's pupils were different!
Yu Mu touched the top of each kitten's head.
"Ha ha!"
"It seems the kittens like you very much."
Just as Yu Mu was happily petting his cat, a woman's hearty laughter came from the stairs. Yu Mu quickly looked up and saw a woman in her thirties walking down with Lingling. She smiled and said, "I heard from Lingling's father that you bought the Lin Family Manor next door. Are you planning to live here?"
"No, I'm not planning to live here yet, but I've planted a patch of moss for research. I'm worried that the moss will eat it, so I'd like to buy your kittens. How much are they each?"
“Different cats have different prices.”
The woman smiled and said, "My name is Qian Shan. Which one are you planning to buy?"
"I'd like to buy them all, if the price allows."
"Oh, that's great. Each kitten has a different price. Let's say you offer fifty gold coins each. Blackie's pattern is more unique, so he might sell for around a hundred gold coins, but I don't want them to be separated. Let's say you offer a lower price so they can continue to live together."
Qian Shan said happily.
When Lingling heard that Yu Mu was going to buy all the kittens, she was very happy and whispered to them gently, "You must be good and help me look after the fields. I will visit you every day."
Three kittens equaled 150 gold coins. When Yu Mu transferred the money to Qian Shan, he asked, "What do these cats usually eat?"
"You don't have to feed them because they'll catch the gophers themselves."
Qian Shan smiled and said, "The reason I stayed here and didn't go to the city is because there are so many gophers here, and they can serve as free food for the cats. If I moved to the city, I wouldn't be able to afford Huahua's food. They need to eat a lot of meat, which most people can't afford."
That’s true!
Nowadays, many people still have to rely on nutrient solution to survive, and meat is even rarer. How can they feed cats? After all, even people themselves have nothing to eat!
"But you need to feed them water three times a day. Just put a water dispenser over there. They will drink water on their own when they are thirsty. You don't have to worry too much."
Qian Shan gave him detailed instructions, and Yu Mu asked, "Can these kittens help me watch the fields today?"
That small piece of land was planted with her few remaining green mosses, which could not be destroyed by gophers.
