Chapter 7
[The child is right. It's not just cats. Animals that have just given birth are very aggressive.]
[The stray dogs I fed before, after they had puppies, would whine whenever I approached them, and would only allow me to approach them when the puppies were older.]
[Wait——Why did the camera go black when I was sending the kittens back to their nest? ! ]
There were not many people online in the live broadcast room, and only a few were chatting in the barrage. After typing and sending the barrage, I looked up and found that the live broadcast room had turned completely black.
If the platform had not reminded the anchor to go off the air, they would have thought that the anchor had closed the live broadcast room.
Wen Youning said, "I'll take pictures of the kittens for you later."
This building is inhabited, and there are a lot of things piled up in the corridor, including discarded furniture that people are reluctant to throw away, which almost blocks the corridor.
The corridor is even more difficult to navigate than the undeveloped alleys.
The little orange cat could walk on such a place as if it were flat ground, and the child also had the advantage of height. Wen Youning was much more tired when walking, but luckily, she didn't encounter the kind of small holes that only mice could get through.
After walking through a large furniture area, Wen Youning discovered that there was a corridor in this direction.
There are a lot of clothes hanging on the handrails of the corridor, and there is bacon on the other side, full of life.
There are corridors in the middle of the buildings in this area. I don’t know how long I walked up and down. There were no floor numbers on the walls, so Wen Youning didn’t even know which floor I was on.
"Meow,"
"Meow,"
A faint cat cry came from under the piled furniture. Wen Youning leaned over and pulled apart the gap in the hanging cloth to look inside. A calico cat was lying on its side inside, staring outside with its round animal eyes without blinking.
When the calico cat noticed the presence of humans, it bared its teeth and panted, "Ha--" at the same time it leaped forward, its claws exposed, making several wrinkles on the mat beneath it.
The boy noticed the calico cat's hostility and reached out to pull Wen Youning back, "Sister, be careful."
"Don't worry, it's okay. I can handle it." Wen Youning hunched over with something blocking her head. This posture was too uncomfortable, so she simply sat down on the wooden rack next to her.
The little orange cat next to them jumped onto the table. Wen Youning stroked the kitten's fur, then scratched its chin with her fingertips and said, "Thank you, little guy. It's hard work to lead the way. Don't walk around here. I'll go to the market and bring you some cat food later."
"Woo..." The little orange cat moved its mouth, and the 'wooo' sound kept coming from its throat.
[Can he really lead the way? The little orange cat may not look big, but he is quite reliable. ]
[It leads the way when asked to, and waits when asked to. Woohoo, it is so obedient. I want to rub it. 】
[No, doesn't anyone doubt the host's behavior of talking to cats? ]
[New fan? I suggest you watch for a while before commenting. The old fans who followed me yesterday have already started clapping and cheering.]
…
In the cat's nest, the calico cat's ears were folded back on its head. Its head, without ears, looked even rounder. Its sharp canine teeth were exposed, showing its anger and silently warning the intruder.
The cat bed is padded and looks quite clean. Someone must have kept a cat here, probably a resident on this floor.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't be so fierce." Wen Youning raised her index finger to her lips, "Look, what I brought you!"
"Meow!" the kitten's voice was shrill.
She opened the gap a little wider and lifted the cub in her hand so that the calico cat inside could see it.
Wen Youning deliberately passed it inside, "Does it look familiar?"
As small gifts floated across the screen in the live broadcast room, the popularity of the video increased significantly. Passersby who didn't know why saw it clicked in and saw Wen Youning holding the kitten and handing it to the mother cat without caring about her own life.
With so many people present, it is inevitable that some viewers will question Wen Youning's behavior.
[Oh no?! Is that how you send a kitten? And the mother cat is present.]
[Don't use your hands! The cat will scratch your hands until they peel off a layer of skin. ]
[Who taught her to send the kittens back to the nest like this? You can't risk your life just to attract attention. If your tendons are bitten off, what will you do? ]
Dangerous actions are more eye-catching.
Wen Youning naturally noticed these comments, but she didn't stop there. Instead, she said to the camera seriously, "This is a dangerous move, please don't imitate it."
After saying that, she stretched her hand forward a little more and said, "Come on, I'll help you get the child back."
The bared calico cat paused, tilted its head and looked at Wen Youning in confusion, then looked down at the cub in its arms.
"One, seven, five..."
'All in'
'Not mine.'
"It's yours. If you don't believe me, come closer and smell it. They're not all there. Baby, you can't count." Wen Youning listened to the calico cat's inner voice and the awkward Arabic numerals, "There should be two after one."
Wen Youning didn’t know exactly how many cubs there were, but the one in her hand must be included.
The calico cat froze, its open mouth gradually widened, its pupils shrank into vertical stripes, and even its ears stood up again, "Meow!"
'Who said I can't count!'
'Don't question the cat!'
"... Can humans hear me counting?!"
'Meow! '
"It's not humans who can do that, it's only me who can." Wen Youning said with a smile, "Come quickly, it must be starving, it keeps crying."
The calico cat stood up hesitantly, staring at Wen Youning as he slowly approached.
"Check if there are any holes in the nest. The kitten must have fallen in accidentally." Wen Youning muttered, "It has some unfamiliar smells, but don't worry. It's not dangerous. It was picked up by a child, the one next to me. Come, say hello."
The boy was stunned, his mind in a tangle and he couldn't recover for a while. He raised his hands and shook them like a puppet following a command.
The calico cat immediately bared its teeth at him again, "Ha——!"
The boy shrank his neck and took a few steps back.
Wen Youning held the kitten in her hands for a long time. She could smell her own scent on it, but it was impossible to completely cover up the child's scent. She told the calico cat in advance so that the mother cat would be mentally prepared when sniffing.
I saw the calico cat poking its head out of the gap and moving closer to Wen Youning's hand.
Carefully distinguish whether this is your child.
The boy opened his mouth and wanted to remind Wen Youning to be careful, because at this distance he couldn't avoid the calico cat's sudden bite. But he was afraid that if he opened his mouth suddenly and broke the silence, it would scare the big cat and cause worse consequences.
The elementary school student squatting nearby couldn't help but clench his fists nervously.
My mom told me where to go to get a shot if I get bit by a stray cat...
For a moment, even the audience in the live broadcast room became nervous, holding their breath in their chests, waiting to see when the calico cat would suddenly go crazy and scratch her into a bloody mess.
but,
When I got close to it, the calico cat that looked fierce did not bite me.
The expected scene of the fingertips being pierced by the cat's teeth did not appear. When everyone was worried, Sanhua just licked the kitten in Wen Youning's hand very lightly, paused, and licked Wen Youning's fingertips again.
"Meow……"
Boy: “???”
Barrage: [? ? ? ]
[No, eh.]
[Tsk...what on earth was I so nervous about just now?]
[It was said that a mother cat who had just given birth would be very aggressive? I thought there would be a bloody fight next. ]
[Is it my illusion? The female cat that was baring her teeth just now has become very docile. The anchor has poisoned her (definitely)]
The calico cat bit the back of the kitten's neck. Wen Youning held the kitten up with her palm facing upwards. Seeing this, she lowered her wrist, allowing the kitten to completely float in the air.
The kitten held by the mother cat was obviously much calmer, and its cries were not as sharp as before.
"The edge of your table is a bit dangerous." The cloth at the back was torn. Some older fabrics tend to be brittle and easily breakable.
Wen Youning felt that the cubs who were squeezed in the nest were in danger of falling out again, so she stood up and looked for something usable among the discarded furniture.
These must have been left here for a long time. It seems that there has been no fire inspection, otherwise these things would have been cleared away.
Wen Youning pulled out a piece of wood, "Ahem," she coughed as the dust stirred up, "Just, just use this, ahem, it's strong."
"Good kitty, don't move." Wen Youning leaned forward with a wooden board and carefully placed it behind the cat's bed. The kitten is not yet at the most active age and could fall down accidentally. If it grows to an age where it becomes active and crawls around, it would rain cats downstairs.
The calico cat held the pair of kittens in its arms, and looked up at Wen Youning's actions obediently, without any trace of the ferocious look it had when it first saw him.
Take a piece of wood and completely block the area near the windowsill at the back, which gives a sense of security.
Wen Youning even knocked on the board with his hand to make sure it was firmly stuck before letting go.
"Woo..." The calico cat rubbed the back of Wen Youning's hand in a friendly manner.
'Thanks'
Wen Youning smiled and said, "You're welcome."
When I turned around, I met a pair of eyes that were eager for knowledge.
"Sister, how did you do that? Were you talking to the kitten just now? I feel like you can have a conversation with a kitten." The boy loves animals very much. Because of his love for animals, his mother was afraid that he would touch wild cats on the street for no reason, so she found a lot of information to educate him, including that a mother cat that has just given birth is as dangerous as a mad wild dog.
So, the boy felt it was scary the whole time. When he lifted the blanket just now, the female cat was panting very fiercely. But the sister in front of him just said a few words, and the calico cat suddenly became very docile.
The speed of changing face is amazing.
"Yes." Wen Youning stood up and successfully sent the kitten back to the nest to feed. Her mission was accomplished. She looked at the little boy beside her and joked with a smile: "Awesome, right?"
"That's amazing! Sister, you are so awesome!" The boy's eyes lit up.
Children will not delve into whether things are true or not. Children of this age will only believe what they see with their own eyes. They will consider more when they are older.
Therefore, there was no need for Wen Youning to explain anything further, the little boy believed it without a doubt.
"You are the best adult I have ever met. When I found the kitten just now, I asked for help, but they ignored me. You were the only one who offered to take the kitten home." The boy remembered something and took out the heavy schoolbag on his back. "Mom said that people who do good things should be rewarded..."
Wen Youning squatted down and looked at the boy at eye level, "No need, kid, protecting and helping small animals is my job."
She has abilities that ordinary people don't have, and has long put small animals first.
The boy was very determined: "No, my mom said there must be a reward, but I didn't bring any snacks with me today."
"Really, there's no need..."
The boy searched for it and said, "This is for you!"
Something that looked like a book was handed to Wen Youning.
Wen Youning was stunned, "What is this?"
"This is the latest upgraded version of Mathematics 100 People's Education Press! This is an extracurricular book my mother bought for me. It is not a school textbook. I can give it to you as a reward!" The boy was very happy.
Wen Youning suddenly remembered the fear of being dominated by five years of college entrance examinations and three years of simulations.
She quickly rejected it: "No, no, no. I really can't have this. It's too polite."
[Hahahaha, the little boy looks so sincere, how could you bear to refuse him? ]
[Don't tear it up, it's for the child.]
[I'll take one with me and put it in the host's account. ]
[@数学100道, this kid is so good, I think he can get a reward from the government. ]
…
"Xiao Haoyu?"
Before Wen Youning and the boy could come to an agreement, a head popped up at the corner of the stairs downstairs, and the person called out his name before he even arrived.
"Mom!" The boy waved happily to the people downstairs.
The woman walked upstairs in high heels, looking at her son who should have gone to school, with her arms folded across her chest. "I heard it downstairs and it sounded like your voice. What's going on? Shouldn't you have gone to school?"
At the same time, she turned her gaze to the person beside her, "You are..."
Wen Youning nodded and said, "Hello, I was passing by and saw Xiao Haoyu picked up a kitten, so I helped bring the kitten back."
"Yes, mom, this sister is really amazing!" Xiao Haoyu raised his short little hands and enthusiastically recounted what had just happened, while his mother listened attentively.
When she heard "this sister can read minds", she smiled gently and did not refute.
Wen Youning looked out the window, then glanced at the stairs, "Do you live in this building?"
The woman said, "Yes, we live on the first floor."
"No wonder Xiao Haoyu picked up the kitten." Wen Youning guessed that the kitten might have squeezed through the cloth blocking it and accidentally fell down onto the platform next to it. There were a lot of scrap cardboard boxes piled on the ground near the window, and the ceiling here was high and low, so after the kitten fell down, it was picked up by Xiao Haoyu who was going out to school.
only……
The place where she met Xiao Haoyu was some distance away from here.
Wen Youning asked: "Why didn't you take the kitten upstairs to look for it?"
Xiao Haoyu recalled the situation at that time and said: "There were no cats around when I picked up the kitten. Later, I met Xiaoju passing by, and I followed him. Xiaoju kept running and stopped at the stairs. He might not like the kittens."
Wen Youning: "...?"
Hiss, whether it likes it or not is another matter, at least the little orange cat ran away at that time, and it was definitely not for this reason.
The little orange cat squatted on the table and licked its paws quietly, its furry face full of vicissitudes.
'I'll just go out and find something to eat.'
'He chased me and shouted at me to stop and not run.'
'I was terribly frightened at the time...'
