Chapter 216 Eye contact with the kitten
The moment her vision became blurred, Xia Lili was completely stunned!
Could it be that if she looked at an unlucky animal, she would also see a scene of doom?
Fragments of the hallucination flooded into Xia Lili's mind, and the main camera was really focused on this little tabby cat.
The hallucination scene was at night, and the little tabby cat was catching mice in the alley behind the express station.
It nimbly jumped and shuttled through the alleys.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the dark and narrow alley, and then a tall man appeared in the alley.
He was carrying a suitcase, looking hurried, and kept cursing, "I'll teach you to look down on me, I'll teach you to look down on me."
The man didn't notice the tabby cat in the alley. Just as he passed by the cat, the little tabby cat suddenly sniffed the suitcase and meowed.
The cat's meow scared the man carrying the suitcase. The suitcase handle was not pulled firmly for a moment, and the suitcase fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Damn it! You scared me!" The man cursed loudly, and then immediately fell silent.
He looked around and then looked at the tabby cat viciously.
The man grabbed the tabby cat by the scruff of its neck and finally threw it hard against the wall.
The little tabby girl suddenly lost her breath and her body slid to the corner of the wall.
"Damn little bastard."
The man cursed under his breath, picked up the suitcase handle from the ground, quickened his pace and walked away.
The last scene of the hallucination is in the morning, when Xiang Quan’s three children find the body of the tabby cat at the back door of the express station.
The children cried as they put the kitten's body into a cardboard box.
There were traces of blood on the wall of the alley where the tabby cat had slid down after being thrown against the wall, and there was also a pool of bright red blood under the kitten's body.
There were still a few drops of blood on the bluestone pavement not far from the body.
Xia Lili keenly discovered that the bloodstains on the wall were bright red, while the bloodstains on the ground were dark red and more viscous, and the two were obviously different.
The illusion ends here.
Beside Xia Lili, three children had already come up to her.
The eldest sister Tingting's big black grape eyes flickered: "Sister Xia, why are you holding the kitten without moving? Are you stunned by the cuteness of this kitten?"
Xia Lili looked at the little tabby cat scratching at the cardboard in the box and forced a smile on her face: "Yes, the kitten is so cute."
She stood up holding the cardboard box and stretched her knees, which were sore from squatting. "Let's go and get the kitten dewormed."
Ten minutes later, the three arrived at the pet clinic.
The veterinarian was a young lady who looked only a few years older than Xia Lili.
Tingting asked cautiously: "Hello, doctor, can you give this stray kitten a health check and help deworm it?"
The veterinarian saw three children coming with a kitten and taking out various coins from their pockets and piling them on the table in the booth. She was touched by how cute these children were.
Xia Lili smiled as she filled out the registration form on the counter. She looked around the clinic, at the pet supplies sold in the right corner. "I'll just check out. Also, get the goat milk powder, food bowl, and kitten food for the kitten."
The veterinarian nodded: "Okay."
Xia Lili filled in all the other information. Looking at the pet name column, she turned to the three children and asked, "What should we name this tabby cat?"
The three children chattered and discussed, and finally chose the name "Xiao Hu" because the pattern on the forehead of this tabby cat looked like the word "Wang" on a tiger's head.
The veterinarian walked out of the clinic carrying the little tabby cat after the examination, with a gentle smile on his face: "The results of the examination are very good. This little guy is much healthier than he looks."
She gently scratched the kitten's chin, and the little guy purred comfortably.
"The main problem is ear mites in its ears. We have cleaned and dewormed it."
The vet said, showing the ear after the medication, "We've finished the internal deworming. He should be two months old in two weeks. Remember to do the external deworming again. Or you can buy the external deworming medicine online~"
The three children gathered around the veterinarian, their eyes shining.
Lele couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiaohu's head: "Doctor sister, will it become a big fat cat in the future?"
The veterinarian was amused. "If you take good care of it, it will definitely grow up. Looking at its color, it might grow into a majestic little tiger."
Xia Lili took the cardboard box containing "Little Tiger". The little guy seemed to have adapted to this temporary nest and was curiously fiddling with the edge of the box with his claws.
The veterinarian also advised: "Feed goat milk powder first during this period, and then slowly transition to kitten food after the external deworming is completed."
After returning to the express station, the three children immediately got busy.
Tingting prepared the goat milk powder skillfully, Xiaoxiao found a small stainless steel bowl as a milk bowl, and Lele took out an exquisite small ceramic plate as a food bowl.
"Look, sister!" Tingting pointed at the computer screen, where a cat-raising tutorial video was playing. "So this is how you hold a kitten!"
She imitated the movements in the video seriously, her little face tense.
Suddenly, Lele exclaimed, "Oh my God! Sister, come and see!"
The little tiger pounced and accurately pinned down a panicked cockroach.
It held its little head high with pride, held its trophy in its mouth, and walked towards Xia Lili with an elegant cat-like gait. It placed the still struggling cockroach at her feet, then looked up at her expectantly, with the tip of its tail raised proudly.
Xia Lili looked at the "gift" at her feet, and the corner of her mouth twitched: "Xiaohu... I appreciate your kindness..."
She carefully wrapped the cockroach in a tissue. "But you really don't need to give this kind of gift..."
The three children surrounded Xiaohu in admiration, and Tingting even wanted to use her father's mobile phone to take a picture of the "little hunter".
Xiaohu seemed to feel everyone's admiration, and he began to patrol among the express boxes in an arrogant manner, as if he was going to eliminate all the "prey" in the post station.
Lele raised his little face and asked worriedly, "Should we keep the tiger cub in a cage?"
Tingting immediately shook her head and pointed to the information on the computer screen. "No! The internet says that tabby cats are the worst cats for captivity."
She read the words on the screen carefully. "They are independent by nature and have strong hunting abilities. They need to patrol large areas to mark their territory. If they are kept in cages, they will become depressed."
The second child, Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and he excitedly suggested, "Then let Xiaohu continue to move around in the back alley!"
He squatted down and gently tapped the tip of Xiaohu's moist nose. "Xiaohu is so capable, he can definitely help us catch mice, right?"
"Meow~" The little tiger seemed to understand, raised his little head and responded, with the tip of his tail raised proudly.
Its big amber eyes sparkled in the sunlight, as if saying: Leave it to me!
