The homeless people outside the house have all left, the noise has cleared up, and with snow falling all around, it feels like setting up a tent in the wild and taking it easy.
Wen Lichu snuggled in Shen Zhizhi's arms and fell asleep.
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the distance.
His limbs tensed instantly and he looked towards the door nervously, thinking that those people had returned because they were unwilling to give up.
"That's the sound of firecrackers."
Shen Zhizhi sat cross-legged, and said softly, “Tomorrow is the Spring Festival.”
Wen Lichu meowed, what is the Spring Festival?
Shen Zhizhi actually heard confusion in the voice of a kitten.
She wanted to explain to Maomao what the Spring Festival was, but she herself had never celebrated this festival and didn't know how to start.
Shen Zhizhi thought about it, “The meaning of the new year, setting off firecrackers means driving away the old things and welcoming a better new year.”
Shen Zhizhi could hear the sound of firecrackers every year. The people in the Shen family would place a lot of expensive fireworks and firecrackers in the big yard. During the New Year's Day, it was all filled with their laughter and joy.
But no one cared about her, and having a hot New Year's Eve dinner was a luxury.
"Meow……"
The continuous sound of firecrackers reached the small house. Wen Lichu only had a vague idea of what they were and felt that firecrackers were something very remarkable.
May the New Year be better...
When he has the ability, he will buy lots of firecrackers and hope that his family will be well every year.
Wen Lichu thought so and meowed several times.
Shen Zhizhi didn’t understand animal language, she could only hear that the cat’s tone was a little excited.
Poked the cat's little paw pad.
Shen Zhizhi covered the cat's two little ears to prevent it from hearing the noisy sound of firecrackers.
Such a small kitten must get enough sleep.
If nothing goes wrong, the firecrackers will be set off all night long. If the little kitten doesn't sleep, he won't be able to bear it.
With his ears covered, Wen Lichu's world suddenly became much quieter.
The sounds from the outside world were hazy and unclear. Wen Lichu opened his cat's eyes and found that the beautiful little girl had closed her eyes.
It seems like he is taking a rest.
So, she covered his ears because she was afraid that the noise would disturb his rest?
Doesn't she think it's too noisy outside? She didn't even cover her ears...
Wen Lichu thought a lot. He meowed a few times, but couldn't express what he meant. Moreover, the little girl didn't open her eyes to look at him.
He closed the cat's mouth in frustration, and then closed its eyes as well.
Then he rested too.
Wen Lichu had been suffering from hunger and cold for a long time. He was very exhausted both mentally and physically, and fell asleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.
He began to snore softly.
Shen Zhizhi was a light sleeper, and she couldn't fall asleep due to the sound of firecrackers.
But the cat's snoring sounded like an intermittent lullaby, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
Good night, kitten.
A cool breeze came in through the crack in the door.
Half of Shen Zhizhi’s cheek was painful from the cold.
His eyes narrowed into slits and slowly opened.
The room was very cold, and Shen Zhizhi took a breath. Because she had been sitting cross-legged, her limbs were very stiff.
After relaxing for a long time, he staggered to his feet, holding the cat.
The cat in my arms was still sleeping, its body rising and falling slightly, looking well-behaved and peaceful.
Shen Zhizhi touched her chest, and the buns contained there were still frozen hard even though they were wrapped in body temperature.
Can't eat.
Considering that the cat would need to eat when it woke up, Shen Zhizhi decided to spend the only ten yuan to buy some food.
It has been snowing for a long time and the snow outside is very thick.
Shen Zhizhi pushed the door open with difficulty, and was greeted by a gust of icy wind.
The skin was numb and stiff with cold.
Shen Zhizhi wrapped the cat in her clothes and walked slowly in the snow.
She was so cold, her body temperature was also cold. When Wen Lichu woke up, she thought there was an ice wall around her.
If you listen carefully, you can hear breathing.
He stretched out his cat head, and the tip of his nose felt cool as it touched a snowflake.
"Meow……"
The cry was weak.
Compared to the whistling wind, this sound is easily overlooked.
Wen Lichu was just about to scream a few more times when a cold hand put his voice back.
"It's too cold, don't come out."
It was really cold, Shen Zhizhi was trembling even when she spoke, and her exposed hands were red from the cold.
When Wen Lichu saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. What were they doing outside in such a cold day?
He glanced around anxiously and thought, "Go back quickly, there is hot water in the house at least."
Cat Claw patted Shen Zhizhi’s chest.
The cat's paw pads were soft, and Shen Zhizhi's skin, which had been frozen and numb, suddenly felt numb.
Shen Zhizhi had a strange feeling that Maomao seemed to be worried about her.
"Buy some food and go back."
"Be good, don't worry about me."
The cat in my arms suddenly quieted down and meowed softly, as if saying, "Hurry up, it's cold outside."
Shen Zhizhi exhaled a breath of cold air. She was not wrong. Maomao was worried about her.
Her cat is very human-like.
Shen Zhizhi’s body was cold, but a warm feeling surged in her heart.
"Well, I'll go back after I finish shopping."
"Don't worry about me, Kitty."
"Meow……"
Shen Zhizhi came to the street as quickly as possible. During the Spring Festival, there were basically no shops open. At a glance, there were not many pedestrians, and it was very depressed.
When passing by a store, Shen Zhizhi saw the clock hanging on it.
afternoon……
Five o'clock?
Shen Zhizhi looked up at the sky, thinking it was already the next day, but unexpectedly it was still New Year's Eve.
Because of the snow, the sky was dark, and Shen Zhizhi slept for a while, thinking it was the next day...
Shen Zhizhi found a convenience store that was still open and pushed the door open.
