Chapter 68 The whole day was full of incomprehensible things.
Xie Yunchuan chuckled helplessly: "It's fine to make friends with anyone, but you have to protect yourself and not trust others too easily, understand?"
The little dumpling nodded obediently: "Sheng Sheng knows."
Xie Yunchuan was finally satisfied.
"But brother, what Sheng Sheng said earlier was also serious."
Sheng Sheng held the little mouse up in front of Xie Yunchuan, and for the first time, Xie Yunchuan began to doubt Sheng Sheng's words.
The little mouse and Xie Yunchuan stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Xie Yunchuan hesitated for a long time before asking, "You mean, really let him go find someone?"
The people around fell silent.
"Yes, that's right." Sheng Sheng nodded, then turned to the little mouse, "Our little mouse is very clever, of course it can find people. Don't you agree?"
Little mouse: ……
The little mouse silently looked around at everyone, and under their suspicious gazes, it pointed to itself with a blank and innocent expression, asking, "Watashi, how come I don't know I can do this?"
Xiao Bai laughed so hard he was doubled over, making gurgling sounds in his throat, which startled Zi Juan, who wondered what had happened to him.
"Mice do have an amazing sense of smell. But, are you trying to make me laugh to death? You're being so silly!"
He was filled with doubt, not knowing where he had gone wrong.
Sheng Sheng pouted, deciding not to argue with a kitten, then looked down and smiled at the little mouse.
Before she could even speak, the little mouse started to back down: "I'm just a mouse. You should ask the dog for help finding people. Don't you have a dog right here?"
Xiao Bai looked at him and said, "Oh, how did you know there was a dog here? It seems you've been to the small kitchen in Yuqing Palace quite a few times."
The little mouse was so scared that its tail stood on end: "It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It was another brother!"
Sheng Sheng asked curiously, "Hmm? You guys are working together? Actually, I thought there wouldn't be any rats in the palace."
"How could there not be? Wherever there is food, there we will be." After saying that, the little mouse glanced timidly at Sheng Sheng, "We didn't mean to eat your food, but if we don't eat, we will starve to death."
Xiao Bai scoffed: "You're making it sound so high and mighty. Stealing food is wrong, and even if you're full, you can't keep the food you've eaten!"
The little mouse was too afraid to speak.
"Alright, alright, little mouse, if you help me find that person, I'll feed you every day, okay?"
"Really?" the little mouse asked, half believing.
Everyone he'd met before wanted to tear him to pieces. This kid's interesting; is he trying to raise rats?
"Of course, it's reasonable for me to pay you for helping me. But you have to promise me that you won't steal food from other people's kitchens after I take care of you. If possible, the same goes for your brothers and sisters."
"really?"
The little mouse excitedly spun around several times, its mouse eyes darting around.
Finding people is easy; their sense of smell is just as good as a dog's, otherwise they wouldn't be able to pinpoint exactly where someone has hidden food.
The little mouse was thinking very seriously, even pacing back and forth with its paws behind its back. I don't know who it learned this from, but it really did look quite human.
The expressions on everyone's faces gradually cracked; they had never seen a rat like this before.
This isn't a rat, it's a rat demon!
But the little dumpling seemed to have seen this strange scene many times before, remaining completely calm and not feeling anything was wrong.
That's true, their princess can even understand what animals say, so what's so special about that!
The crowd's expressions grew even more respectful as they watched Sheng Sheng. Old Cat and Old Fish nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with pride and admiration.
As expected of a descendant of a military family, General Rong, a hero of iron and blood, has indeed surpassed his granddaughter in talent and skill.
The princess is truly a divine being!
The little mouse was thinking very seriously, and as it pondered, it suddenly felt a chill run down its spine.
The little mouse trembled, turned its head, and met Little White's ambiguous smile.
The little mouse, terrified, quickly hid behind Sheng Sheng: "Your Highness, this cat is threatening me!"
Little White gracefully shook its head: "I didn't do anything."
Sheng Sheng was both amused and exasperated. She had never liked Uncle Cat since ancient times, so she could only silently act as a peacemaker in the middle.
"Don't be afraid, Little White actually has a very good personality, and is very well-behaved, it just looks fierce." After comforting the little mouse, Sheng Sheng said to Little White, "Little White, don't be like that, you'll scare us mice."
Little mouse: "That's right!"
"Our hamster is a smart and good hamster, right?"
"That's right!" the little mouse nodded in agreement.
"Besides, our little hamsters have a very keen sense of smell. They even heard that person's voice, so they'll definitely remember her scent and recognize her voice. Little White, your threat makes it sound like our little hamsters aren't agreeing because they can't find that person. How could that be?"
"That's right!"
The little mouse paused, then suddenly realized it had fallen into a trap. It leaped out from behind Sheng Sheng with a "chua!"
"No, no, wait, what??? I didn't say that!"
The little dumpling ignored him, exclaimed "Wow!" and happily grabbed his little paw: "So you agree? Thank you, little mouse! You helped Sheng Sheng find someone, and Sheng Sheng will take good care of you!"
"What?!" The little mouse's jaw dropped. "When did I agree to that?!"
Little White snorted at him mockingly, then slowly wagged its tail arrogantly.
Mice are indeed not as clever as cats; they were easily tricked by this little guy in just a few words.
"Thank you, little mouse. It was a pleasure working with you!" The little dumpling smiled. "How about I give you a name? I always call you 'little mouse, little mouse,' it's too formal."
Everyone gasped.
Judging from the princess's words, does this thing really have a chance of succeeding?
There is a folk organization called the Farm Protection Team, which is composed of many capable and brave dogs.
Some farms are infested with wolves and wild boars, which can damage crops. The farm protection team's dogs will then be deployed to drive them away and protect the crops from harm.
There is a type of dog called the alpha dog, which acts as a vanguard, specifically tasked with locating wild boars and wolves.
Everyone looked at the palm-sized rat.
So this is... a rat?
When this word appeared in everyone's mind, they were still a little confused.
This word is so unfamiliar and so new.
Oh no, not just the word, the whole thing is unbelievable!
While everyone was racking their brains over this incredible idea all day, Sheng Sheng had already named the little mouse.
"If Xiaobai is called Xiaobai, then you can be called Xiaohei. One is black and the other is white, one is a cat and the other is a mouse. They sound like a perfect match."
