Chapter 608 Haining Cat Island (18) [VIP]
The old man obviously didn't know that a heavyweight guest had appeared on his religiously barren island.
"When we catch the cat later, we will first observe where the abbot is. After we determine the location, Doctor Du, you can let the leader meow first," Brother Li said as he rummaged through the boxes and made plans. "After we have fixed the leader, we can start catching him. I brought the net bag I used to catch him last time..."
"…Hey? Where's my pole?"
"What pole?" the abbot's mother asked casually.
"It's the pole of the net bag," Li Ge continued to look through the box curiously. "I remember that the long pole was folded up in the box. Did I take it out and forget to bring it with me?"
A long pole that can retract... Bai Jinshu suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next moment, the bad premonition came true.
Lu Changfeng poked his head out: "Is it the long pole that was used before?"
"Yes, I specially customized that set of metal telescopic rods. They are much stronger and more convenient to use than the metal rods on the market. They are very suitable for catching and hanging cats," Li Ge said in a puzzled tone. "I remember using it yesterday. How come I can't find it now? Did someone touch my toolbox yesterday?"
"No..." Lu Changfeng continued subconsciously. Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized something.
Wait... a long metal pole?!
He suddenly looked up at Du Zhongsheng.
Bai Jinshu: ...
A long metal pole... Could it be that Li Ge is looking for the same long metal pole that Huai Jiamu ate yesterday?
The barrage also recalled:
[This thing...if I remember correctly, it should be in the leader's stomach? ]
[Is this the rod that the leader swallowed yesterday? ]
[How dare you assume that the leader has a stomach. 】
[No one has mercy on the long metal pole? ]
【Brother Li says goodbye to your long metal pole.】
【Long metal pole——】
【Metal long pole (special customized version)——】
"The metal rod fell down when we hoisted the cat back yesterday. Have you forgotten?" Facing Lu Changfeng's pleading eyes, Bai Jinshu passed the blame on as usual.
"Ah, is there?" Li Ge was confused for a moment, and continued along his line of thought, "Oh, maybe you told me and I forgot."
Lu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Li pulled up the tool box and muttered as he walked, "That pole is not cheap. I'll see if I have time later. I have to go back to the community to look for it and see if I can find it."
That will definitely never be found again.
Bai Jinshu silently stroked the cat in his arms, hoping that it would choose less precious metals to eat in the future.
"Since we didn't bring the pole, we can only use this fishing net to catch the cat later," Li Ge re-planned in his mind, "Then we have to set up the fishing net first, and then collect the net from the side after the cat appears."
This method is feasible, but the net bag is more maneuverable, while the fishing net is lower.
However, with the leader around, Li Ge is still full of confidence in this cat-catching plan.
"Have we passed the end, old man?" A curly-haired woman next to the abbot's mother patted the second abbot's uncle. "We are almost at the end. Where is the courtyard?"
"I haven't been there," said the second uncle of the abbot confidently, "I haven't seen the rockery I just calculated yet, it must be still ahead!"
"It's still in front of you," another old man rolled his eyes, "We've already reached the end of the road, you must have miscalculated, Lao Er."
"You are wrong!" The second abbot became angry.
“Alright, alright, alright!” Before the others could react, the abbot’s mother rushed out to stop the quarrel, “The TV station is recording the video, let’s stop quarreling! If you quarrel, all the photographers will come to record you!”
Lu Changfeng, who was still concentrating on recording the voice, raised his head: Ah?
When did he record people arguing?
Before he could say anything to refute, he saw Bai Jinshu slightly raising his chin towards the two old men.
Lu Changfeng paused for a moment, then immediately understood. While the two old men were still not able to react, he quickly turned the camera and pretended that he was filming.
Older people like to save face, and when they saw the camera was facing them, they felt embarrassed to continue arguing. They glared at each other and were pulled apart by the people behind them.
"Brother Li, have you been to this government compound before?" The abbot's mother came over quickly after seeing the quarrel was over and whispered, "I haven't been to this area for a long time, and I don't know the way."
"Hiss... I don't recognize him either," Li Ge muttered, "How about asking a passerby?"
The two of them whispered to each other for a long time and looked around.
The urban area of Haining Island was already desolate, and there were several construction sites on this road that looked to be under renovation. Apart from their group of people, there was no other passerby.
"Then...then let's check the navigation?" The abbot's mother rubbed her hands.
“Look… look…” Li Ge quickly opened his phone, “Let me see… Oh, we did pass by there, the navigation said we have to go back another 400 meters.”
"Who said the calculation was correct just now?" said the old man who had just quarreled with her gloatingly.
"How can it be considered a mistake just because we've walked past it?" the abbot said stubbornly.
This time, Bai Jin didn't need to explain anything, Lu Changfeng automatically turned the camera around.
The two old men looked at each other, then looked at the camera moving towards them, and very wisely chose to keep silent.
Without the two old men arguing, everyone quickly followed the navigation in Li Ge's hand and arrived at the marked destination, but...
"Are you sure it's this?" Bai Jinshu looked at the "community" in front of him.
The direction that Li Ge's navigation pointed to was actually a construction site where construction was in full swing.
"Hiss, this..." Li Ge also frowned, "How about asking?"
Wasn't this area originally a government compound? How did it become a construction site?
"Hey, young man," the abbot's second uncle had already stepped forward with his hands behind his back, bent down and knocked on the glass of the construction site security guard, "Isn't this the original government compound?"
"Uncle, are you here to check the progress of the house?" The security guard at the construction site poked his head out.
"No, let's catch ..."
"We are here to visit relatives," Bai Jinshu suddenly spoke, drowning out the voice of the second uncle of the abbot, "We brought our elders here to visit relatives, but it seems that we went the wrong way according to the navigation, and we couldn't find the government compound."
"Visiting relatives... Your address is from many years ago," the security guard looked at the group of people in surprise.
Except for four young men, the others were all elderly people, and they all looked like locals on Haining Island. It didn't seem like they were looking for trouble.
"Uncle, do you see the words outside?" He leaned half of his body out of the window and pointed above his head, "Haining First Construction Company is undertaking the reconstruction and renovation project of the old residential area..."
"Our address was originally the government compound, but now all the buildings have been demolished and rebuilt. You have to ask for a new address when you visit relatives."
After the security guard said this, he immediately closed the window and retreated.
Everyone: …
Although I thought that catching the cat might have some twists and turns, and the second uncle's so-called "calculation" might be a little different from the facts, the difference was too big.
Looking at the dusty construction site in front of us, even if we deceive ourselves, we cannot see the shadows of "rockery" and "lawn".
"I'll tell you," a leisurely voice came from behind the abbot's mother amid the sound of the cement truck mixing, "Old Two's skills are not good enough, so I have to do it."
"You have no skills!" The abbot jumped up and down.
"No matter how bad I am, I'm still better than you," the old man said disdainfully, "Nier, let me try."
"You can't do that," said the abbot, puffing his beard and glaring, "It's clearly the fault of the renovation of this community!"
"How did you calculate the rockery and grass when renovating the residential area?" another old man sneered. "If you calculated it wrong, you're wrong. Why are you still being stubborn?"
"How can you say I calculated it wrong?" Second Uncle argued, "The cat is not dead, it is moving. When I calculated it, it was inside the rockery. It is normal that it is gone now!"
"Just follow me, I'll calculate it again," he tried to struggle, "I'll make it right this time!"
"Come on, come on. According to what you said, cats are always running and no one can catch up with them." said another old man with disdain.
The abbot's mother scratched her head and said, "Then...then uncle, why don't you try?"
The uncle abbot proudly raised his eyebrows in front of the second uncle abbot: "As for me... I have to find a cat first."
"It's much more troublesome than my method." The second uncle retorted unwillingly.
"Your method is simple. Do you think you have found it?" The abbot's uncle curled his lips. "I have to do it again. My method is more scientific. I will explain it to the TV station's leaders."
"Leader, that's not the case," Lu Changfeng quickly rejected the request, "Just call me Xiao Lu, this is..."
He looked at Du Zhongsheng, paused, and weakly changed the topic: "Why don't you call the leader?"
It's fine to call him Xiao Lu, but Du Zhongsheng is the Holy Son, he can't be called Xiao Du...
"Okay, then, leader, I'll explain it to you," Uncle Abbot didn't notice his pause and explained to Bai Jinshu, "Old Second's method is unreliable. We have to rely on something like mine. What I have is... GPS biological navigation."
"GPS biological navigation?" Li Ge was at a loss.
It sounds very advanced. Do they have such advanced cat-finding technology on Haining Island?
"It's like letting a cat find a cat," said the second abbot, "but it's only suitable for finding ordinary cats. It's impossible for a monk to find a cat."
"Stop talking," the abbot said disdainfully, "Leader, listen to me. We'll go find a store and buy some sausages, then feed them to the cats on the street, tell them what the monk looks like, and then ask them to help us find the monk. The monk will be brought back soon."
"Will this... work?" Li Ge hesitated.
"Why not?" the abbot's uncle said, "In our time, we didn't have cats at home. If we wanted to find a cat, we would just bring one by one to tell it!"
There are also people who keep cats in the barrage:
[In theory, it is indeed feasible. Anyone who has lost a cat at home knows this.]
[Know what? I don’t know? ]
[After a cat is lost, one of the ways to find it is to bring cat snacks to feed the stray cats in the neighborhood, while feeding them what your cat looks like, and then the stray cats will help you beat up the cat and bring it back.]
[? Is it true? Can cats understand human speech? ]
[I don’t know if you can understand me, but I can find my cat back. I live on the 17th floor. After my cat was lost, I fed the stray cats in the neighborhood. The next day, the stray cats brought my cat back to me.]
[From a scientific point of view, it should be that you have the smell of your cat on you and they smell it. ]
【What about other aspects? 】
[From another perspective, the wild cat ate the cans you gave him, and became your mercenary because he was grateful for the favor! ]
In the unknown space, the abbot uncle had already bought sausages, and everyone who came to catch cats was given one, and began to look for mercenaries on the street.
Soon, an orange-white figure in the green belt in front attracted everyone's attention.
"Huh?" The abbot squatted down and waved at the cat. "Come here, come here. I have a favor to ask of you."
The orange and white cat originally wanted to jump over the green belt, but after hearing this, it actually turned its head and looked in their direction.
"Come here," the abbot glanced at the second uncle, and his tone instantly became much more proud, "Mi. Mi, come here, I have a favor to ask of you. Help us find a cat, and this sausage will be yours."
"Meow..." The big orange-and-white cat took a few steps in their direction. Before the pride on the abbot's face could take shape, it turned its gaze and saw the leopard cat nestled in Bai Jinshu's arms.
The orange and white cat hesitated for a moment, its eyes moving back and forth between the leopard cat and the sausage, as if evaluating whether it was worth getting close to this big killer for a sausage.
"Huh, huh?" The abbot shook the sausage a few times in surprise, "Why don't you come over?"
"Tsk," Second Master laughed from behind, "The cat won't even come over, what else can you say?"
"Stop talking, two. I'll give you two sausages," the abbot's uncle gritted his teeth, "both of them are yours."
The big orange and white cat took a tentative step forward.
Huai Jiamu did not respond.
The big orange and white cat took a few more hesitant steps.
Huai Jiamu did not move.
The orange-and-white cat gritted its teeth, quickly jumped into the abbot's arms, and began to eat with a tragic mood as if it was eating its last meal before execution.
The uncle abbot didn't notice the complicated feelings of the orange and white cat. When he saw the cat coming, he quickly waved to the abbot's mother: "Quick, quick, Ni'er, tell me what the monk you are looking for looks like?"
"I... I don't remember it very clearly! I just remember it was Lihua!" The abbot's mother stuttered, "Um... Brother Li, Brother Li! What does Thirty-Nine look like!"
The original name of the child who was anxious came out.
“Thirty-nine… uh, thirty-nine,” Li Ge also began to stutter, “Oh no, I never even saw what thirty-nine looked like!”
【Grass. 】
【I really laughed this time. 】
[Brother Li, Brother Li, you have seen this cat thirty-nine times, but you still don't remember what it looks like. Is this reasonable? ]
[It actually makes sense, because when I first brought my cat home, it spent more than a month huddled in various corners or running around the room, and I never got to see what it looked like, hahaha…]
【I started crying while laughing.】
[This is the episode that makes me pity Li Ge the most. I couldn't even see what Thirty-Nine looked like. ]
[If he hadn't seen it clearly, how did he recognize the thirty-nine in the first thirty-eight times? ]
[“I ran so fast that I couldn’t catch that raccoon flower”←]
[…I’m dying of laughter. So it’s not certain whether Thirty-Nine is a cat or not? After all, if you don’t look at the direction of the pattern, tabby cats actually look pretty much the same.]
"Lihua, with S-shaped tiger-like stripes on its back, and a U-shaped forehead, opening forward." Just when everyone was at a loss, Bai Jinshu suddenly spoke.
Huai Jiamu's dynamic vision is particularly useful for fast-moving objects, which are very clear in his eyes.
"The front paws are white," he recalled what he saw when he caught the cat yesterday, "and the hair on the belly is also white."
"Damn it," Li Ge lowered his head in shock, "Doctor Du, you have the best brain!"
If you can remember all this, then you can also remember the S-shaped and U-shaped patterns?
"Professional ethics." Bai Jinshu said casually.
——The professional qualities of a cult.
After all, a religion that looks formal must have some scriptures. It is unknown whether the believers can recite them by heart, but the Son of God must memorize them. Du Zhongsheng cannot see the text, so the threshold for being familiar with the scriptures is higher than others. In this case, if his memory is not good, he will become a familiar person sooner or later.
His basic quality is to remember everything he hears. After his memory has been trained, he can still clearly remember what he has seen even after he regains his sight.
"So this is the professional quality of a doctor!" Brother Li raised his thumb and showed respect.
Barrage:
[I feel that this professionalism is different from that professionalism...]
[Li Ge's eyes were full of admiration for medical workers. ]
[Brother Li, I know you admire him, but don’t admire the Holy Son of Cats yet.]
[But then again, is this orange and white cat really listening to the Cat Saint? ]
It doesn’t seem to be…
The big orange and white cat looked like a starving ghost who wanted to finish his food quickly and run away. It was hard to believe that it would really bring the abbot back.
"And I'm a little worried..." Li Gechao said in a low and matter-of-fact voice, "This method sounds feasible, but can these cats really beat the abbot?"
Who is that, Abbot? The evil cat! The evil cat has escaped thirty-nine times!
This big orange and white cat looks like a starving ghost and has little chance of defeating the runaway bully Fangzhang.
"Forget it... just treat it as charity," said the abbot's mother, also worried, "it looks like it hasn't eaten for a long time."
I ate it with tears in my eyes.
The orange and white cat took a moment out of his busy schedule to look at the two humans with tears in his eyes.
You are crazy. Try to imagine being stared at by that leopard cat for so long.
If it wasn't really hungry... no, it wouldn't come if it wasn't greedy!
Ju Bai finished the last bit of sausage in the abbot's uncle's hand and ran away without looking back.
"Look at this!" The abbot uncle who didn't know the situation said proudly, "After eating my sausage, he immediately ran to find a cat for me!"
It’s hard to say whether he went to look for the cat, but... Bai Jinshu looked at the big orange and white cat that disappeared in an instant and felt that it was more likely to run away.
"Everything is going well!" Uncle Abbot didn't know that the orange and white cat was running so fast because it wanted to escape. He was very proud and planned his next move. "Next, we just have to wait. The cat we are looking for will be brought back in no more than an hour."
The plan is good, but plans cannot keep up with changes.
After that, the sausage in the abbot's hand never attracted any cats again.
There were many cats coming and going on the street, but none of them came forward like the big orange and white cat. Only the abbot squatted beside Bai Jinshu, puzzled and never doubted the cat on the head of the star next to him.
Bai Jinshu: ...
In order to catch the cat earlier, he wanted to move to another position, but the abbot uncle was too camera-savvy. Every time he moved, the abbot uncle would catch up with him, as if he had to appear in the camera, making it difficult for him to hide.
However, except for the abbot who brought this upon himself, the other people actually seduced a few innocent kittens.
Bai Jinshu silently recalled the breeds of these innocent kittens.
After an hour of hard work in hiring mercenaries, the result was a large orange and white cat, two small orange and white cats, and three huge fat cats of dark soy sauce color.
There are not many cats in urban areas, and most of the cats on Haining Cat Island are in suburban areas with good ecology. But even so, the base number is still there.
After squatting here for more than an hour, the result was only six cats, which was a bit too few.
And after careful counting, among all the cats coming and going, it seems that only the orange cat dared to eat the sausage under Huai Jiamu's deadly gaze.
It fits the stereotype of the breed very well.
"Uncle..." Mother Fangzhang looked at the seventh little orange cat in front of her with a sad face as it ran away without looking back. She said sadly, "Why do I feel that your trick is not going to work?"
It doesn’t look like these orange cats are looking for cats for them. They are just here to eat the sausages.
After eating the sausage, each cat ran away without looking back. Some even swallowed it in a few mouthfuls and fled quickly. They didn't even have time to finish what they were saying before the cats ran away.
"I told you he's unreliable!" Uncle Second Abbot quickly followed up, "Let me tell you, when your father and your mother got married, your uncle was the only one in the two families who refused to agree... Hey, why did he hit people?"
"You are so grown up, and you are still talking nonsense!" The lady next to the second uncle rolled her eyes, "Don't say anything to each other, these tricks are just the butts of foreign guns - they look good but are useless."
"Get out of the way!" She pushed the second uncle aside and moved closer to Lu Changfeng and Bai Jinshu, "Leader, I have an idea as well."
"What can we do, aunt?" The abbot's mother hugged her knees without hope, squatted on the ground and looked up.
"Auntie will catch you a new one," Auntie Fangzhang lowered her voice very understandingly, "Um, photographer, please don't shoot this part. We'll cut it out later."
"I know that you TV stations edit a lot of things. A lot of things are not the same thing at first, but after editing... they become one thing," she gestured. "When the time comes, I'll pick a good tabby cat for you. We'll pretend to grab it, and then film it."
She gestured with her hands: "Then the show will be broadcast."
Abbot’s mother: …
Let’s not talk about the fact that Li Ge and his team are not a real TV station for now.
"But I just want the abbot..." She pouted, "I think that cat and I have a special affinity. Brother Li said it likes everyone but me."
"That's not easy to do..." Auntie Fangzhang also squatted down and thought, "Do you really have to do it?"
"It's not necessary..." Abbot's mother muttered, "but what you can't get is the best."
If she originally only wanted to keep the abbot 100%, then now that the abbot has run away, she wants to keep him 500%, and even if all her uncles, uncles, and aunts in the family work together they cannot catch him, so she wants to keep him 1000%.
In short, the runaway bully Sanjiu has now become the white moonlight of both her and Li Ge.
The two of them squatted together, feeling sympathetic for each other, holding each other with tears in their eyes, which was extremely pitiful.
The author has something to say:
What you can't get is always the most disturbing~
