Chapter 209: Wildcat Blocks the Road
It was cold at night.
As we climbed the mountain, the temperature dropped sharply.
The servant boy was holding a lantern in his hand and felt the strong wind hitting him.
The cries of jackdaws rang in my ears, mixed with the hissing of wild cats.
The servant boy held the stick tightly in his hand and looked around tremblingly as he spoke.
"My two lords, I will not try to persuade you two any more, since you will not listen to my advice anyway."
"But if you go up the mountain today and dig up someone's grave, you will definitely be discovered by the owner. If they find out about you, even if you get beaten, don't blame me for not warning you."
After all, these two young masters were determined to commit suicide, and the servant couldn't stop them even if he wanted to. So what else could he do? He could only let them do it.
But let me be frank, these two young masters cannot take it out on him right after they get punished.
"If you two vent your anger on me again, I won't tolerate it."
When the servant said this, Qian Ping'an looked somewhat helpless. He turned around and glanced at his servant, "What are you saying? When have I ever taken my anger out on you?"
"It's really sad to hear what you said."
The servant boy lowered his head and thought to himself, it's true that you didn't take your anger out on me, but when Young Master Wang kicked me just now, you didn't stop him either.
What you say now is nice, but what should I do if Prince Wang takes his anger out on me again?
"Anyway, I have said everything I need to say. It is up to you, sir, whether you listen or not."
"I have spoken my heart out tonight, and have said every word of advice I could!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here."
Wang Shi glanced at the servant indifferently, thinking that this servant was really noisy. As masters, they would never use their servants to take the blame so easily.
"As long as you don't keep your mouth shut, who would know we did this?"
"Even if they knew, so what? At most, I'd just have to pay three or five hundred taels of silver and be done with it."
Anyway, both the Wang family and the Qian family have plenty of money.
Therefore, Wang Shi also didn't understand why this servant was so timid and afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. It really brought shame to the Qian family.
And he was on good terms with Qian Ping'an, so he felt like he had lost half of his face.
Wang Shi looked at the servant boy and said, "Just remember, no matter what happens, it won't involve you."
"All you have to do next is keep your mouth shut and lend a hand when necessary."
After saying that, Wang Shi turned his head and continued to climb the mountain.
As he spoke, he casually complained to Qian Pingan, "The records in that book are really tricky. They say that all graves are useless, but they insist on finding a new one. These days, graves are easy to find, but new ones are hard to find."
Qian Pingan spread out his hands and nodded vigorously. Who said it wasn't true? "I don't understand why we have to have a grave. If we don't stick to this, we can go to a mass grave and come back after a while."
I heard that there are piles of corpses at the mass grave.
However, he has not taken a specific look, so whether this is the case or not remains to be discussed.
"Well, let's just do what's written in the book."
Countless jackdaws were standing on the bare dead branches, flapping their wings and making "ah-ah-ah" sounds from their mouths.
Qian Ping'an and Wang Shi were so annoyed that they picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.
"Shut up, you unlucky crow!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crows flew away.
However, after walking for about half an hour, a wild cat suddenly appeared in front of Qian Pingan and Wang Shi, blocking the road.
The wild cat was skinny and pitch black, and looked extremely pitiful.
It pounced forward suddenly, making a shrill meow, biting the corner of Qian Ping'an's robe tightly, and dragging him in the opposite direction of his target.
It seemed to be warning him not to go forward again.
The cat was skinny and had wounds of varying sizes all over its body. It looked truly pitiful.
Qian Ping'an felt sorry for the cat and instinctively realized that the cat didn't seem to have any ill intentions and just didn't want him to get close.
He squatted down and patted the cat's head. "Will you come with me?"
"I also have a black cat like you in my yard, but it's not as skinny as you. I've raised it to be sleek and smooth. When it's happy, it rubs against my palm, but when it's unhappy, it ignores me."
But cats are all like that.
His father doesn't allow him to bring stray cats home all the time.
Therefore, most of his cats are kept outside.
The only one he kept in the yard was the one he brought home five years ago.
After all, he felt that the cat was seriously injured at that time. If he had not taken it home in time, it might have died outside.
“Meow—”
“Meow—”
The kitten kept making shrill cries, biting the corner of Qian Ping'an's robe tightly and pulling him back.
Seeing Qian Ping'an's expression of pity, the servant immediately took advantage of the situation and chased after him, "Master, this cat is really pitiful. It seems to be blocking you and not letting you go any further."
"Let's go back!"
"I'm not trying to spoil your fun, but cats have very keen noses. I'm afraid there might be some desperate criminals out there, committing murder and robbery. We might not be able to hear it, but a cat can hear it clearly."
"Besides, you've been searching for a new grave all night. Why don't we go back first and come back tomorrow?"
After returning, he immediately told the master everything that happened today!
Even if he was beaten, he would accept it.
He really can't afford to serve these two living ancestors!
"Qian Ping'an, are you done yet? Why are you and your servant always procrastinating? You're such a nuisance!"
"It's just a cat. It just saw that you have money and wanted to seek your protection!"
As he said that, Wang Shi picked up the cat and threw it out.
