The Cat and the Strange Lady

(Girls' Literature)

Su Zhi was startled by Shen Zian's action. She was just feeling the movements of the baby in her belly and had no idea what was going on. Shen Zian half-carried and half-supported her and took her to the side. Although she was very stable, she was still a little panicked because of the sudden panic. If she was alone, she would be braver, but now she was pregnant. She held her belly tightly with her hands, afraid that the baby would be frightened by her panic. ..

Just where Shen Zian and Su Zhi were standing, a small black shadow suddenly passed by, moving very quickly and disappeared in a flash.

Because Su Zhi's eyes had been cleansed by the spiritual spring, she could see things in the dark more clearly than ordinary people. Moreover, the night was very good today, with lights in the distance and moonlight overhead. She could tell that the thing that passed by might be a cat.

In such a dark night, a cat suddenly jumped out, and it jumped down from the rockery nearby. The place where it landed was exactly where Su Zhi was standing. If Shen Zian hadn't pulled Su Zhi away, it might have bumped into Su Zhi. If she was frightened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When Su Zhi thought about the consequences, she actually broke out in cold sweat on her back on this night which was already filled with the chill of autumn.

I originally thought that the shadow of a cat just passed by, but Su Zhi's heart was still pounding, and it came back again!

“Meow meow meow!”

This time, she could be sure it was a cat. In the moonlight, she could see its two shining eyes. The cat ran towards Su Zhi while barking.

Su Zhi was startled and hid in Shen Zian's arms. She was pregnant and dared not move. With Shen Zian by her side, she naturally left it to him. Shen Zian did not disappoint his wife. He stretched out a foot and kicked the cat aside. The force was not strong, because his wife was pregnant now. He did not want to scare his wife. Although his wife was not so timid, he still had to be careful. Who knew that after being kicked aside, the cat got up and ran towards this side again, screaming even louder. The sound was very miserable, and the hairs of people who heard it would stand up.

"Zi'an, what's wrong with this cat? Why won't it leave?"

Su Zhi felt that the cat was crying pitifully. She saw the cat coming over again and again, and being kicked away by Shen Zian again and again. She was no longer afraid. She felt that the cat didn't seem to be aggressive, but just wanted to come over. And the cry became more and more pitiful, which made Su Zhi feel sorry for the cat.

Shen Zian also felt that the cat just wanted to come over and didn't want to hurt anyone, but he wouldn't let it get close to his wife. What if it came over and waved its claws?

"Don't hit Ah Hua! Don't hit it!"

Just as the cat pounced on him for the fifth time and was kicked away by Shen Zi for the fifth time, a woman came running from the side of the road, shouting and pounced on him. She seemed to be blind and fumbled around the cat with her hands for a few times before she touched the cat lying on the ground and hugged it in her arms.

"Ah Hua, why are you running away for no reason? What if you run away and never come back? If you get lost, my precious daughter will definitely be sad. Don't be disobedient. Be good."

The woman held the cat in her arms, stroked its head, and spoke softly. Her voice was very gentle, but in the darkness, it even sounded like crying. It just happened to echo the laughter coming from the waterside pavilion not far away, making it even more desolate.

Shen Zian hugged Su Zhi tighter again, thinking that this woman was really strange.

Su Zhi looked at the woman. She could see that she was about 40 years old, well-maintained, with a fair and beautiful face. Although her face was full of sadness and it looked a little strange that she was talking to a cat, she still exuded a dignified and noble air. Moreover, the woman was dressed very luxuriously, with a lot of silk. Although she only had a gold hairpin on her head, she wore a jade bracelet on her wrist. At first glance, this woman was not a servant, but a noble woman.

But why would such a noble lady run out after a cat? In such a joyous atmosphere, she looked so sad?

Su Zhi looked at the woman, not knowing why she was so sad. She thought it might be because she was pregnant. Since she became pregnant, she became sentimental. When she saw others sad, she would also be sad. Now that the woman was so sad and mentioned her daughter, she was also a woman who was about to become a mother, so she naturally felt the same and was sad.

"Madam! Madam! Why did you come here? Your eyes are not good. If you accidentally bump into something, we will be worried!"

At this time, several maids and old women, about five or six in number, came running over and surrounded the woman, checking to see if she was injured. When they saw that she was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Some of them even chanted Buddhist scriptures, which showed that this lady was of very noble status.

"Madam, put on your cloak quickly. You are wearing too little. If you get sick, the Marquis and the Young Marquis will be worried."

A maid put a cloak on the lady and put on the hood on the cloak.

The lady did not object. She just held the cat in her arms and caressed it. She let the maids and old women care for her and let them put a cloak on her. She said nothing to them and only talked to the cat.

However, the cat did not appreciate it and continued to look at Shen Zian and the others, crying loudly and struggling to climb out of the lady's arms.

"Ahua, what's wrong with you today? Do you like those two people?"

The lady seemed to have just remembered Shen Zian and Su Zhi. Shen Zian and Su Zhi both thought that something was wrong with the lady. If an ordinary person ignored them like this, they would think it was intentional. However, the lady's behavior did not make them think so at all. It was obvious that the lady had been paying attention to the cat and had forgotten about them.

The cat named Ahua continued to call, and finally made the lady turn around and look at Shen Zian and Su Zhi.

"Excuse me, are you here to enjoy the chrysanthemums and lanterns? May I tell you your name and address? My Ah Hua likes you very much. You shouldn't have kicked it just now."

Su Zhi thought that this lady really had a problem. Maybe her brain was not clear. The first two sentences were normal, like a noble lady, but the second sentence was not in line with her status and seemed a bit out of tune. If this lady was arrogant and looked down on others, she might think that she said this because she thought it was a blessing for her cats to like them, but this lady did not have that kind of arrogant intention. She was just telling the truth.

Shen Zian said: "We are guests here. My wife is pregnant. The cat kept jumping on her and we had to kick it away."

"Pregnant?" The lady seemed a little surprised when she heard this, and said, "Congratulations, that's my Ah Hua. Sorry, I didn't scare your wife, did I?"

Su Zhi said, "No, but please hold Ah Hua tightly, Madam. I really can't let it get close to me."

"Ah Hua was left to me by my daughter. She has always been very well behaved. It is rare that she likes you so much. But you are pregnant, so you cannot get close to her."

The lady hugged Ah Hua tightly, patted Ah Hua on the shoulder, and said, "Ah Hua, let's go back and chant for my daughter. This kind of joy does not belong to us. We are leaving now."

"Young man, be good to your wife. She was once her mother's precious daughter. She married you and is going to give birth to your children. You must cherish her."

The lady said a few words to Shen Zian, and then left accompanied by a group of maids and old women.

The cat kept meowing, but it couldn't escape from the lady's hands.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi watched the lady being escorted away, and could no longer hear the cat's meowing. They looked at each other and felt that everything that had just happened was really a dream. A lady with a mental disorder, a cat that kept meowing, and a group of maids and servants who chased after the lady and were extremely respectful. And the few words that the lady said to Shen Zian when she left.

"Let's go back."

Su Zhi didn't know why she was watching the lady walk away. Thinking about what she had just said, she wanted to cry. She thought that the lady really loved her daughter. She treated a stranger like her daughter. She must love her daughter very deeply, right? So much so that whenever she saw a woman of the same age as her daughter, she would treat her like her own daughter!

Shen Zian heard his wife's voice choking with sobs, thinking that it must be the words of that lady that made his wife feel uncomfortable, after all, his wife still hadn't found her biological parents. He didn't say anything, just said ok, and helped his wife back, thinking that he could look at the flowers and lights for a while, so that his wife could forget the sadness.

The two walked towards the water pavilion, but when they were halfway there, they heard Shen Zhu's voice coming from the side.

Shen An and Su Zhi stopped, looked at each other, and then walked forward together. They didn't like Shen Zhu, so they kept as far away from her as possible. But just after taking another step, Shen Zhu's voice rang again, this time her voice was a little sharper, and her words made people know that she was in trouble.

The two were just wondering whether to go over when Shen Zhu rushed out and almost bumped into Shen Zian and Su Zhi.

When Shen Zhu saw them, she pursed her lips and then came over affectionately.

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law! You came just in time!"

Shen Zhu hugged Su Zhi's arm and hid behind her.

Su Zhi frowned at Shen Zhu's touch. Before she could react, Shen Zian had already helped Su Zhi from one side of his body to the other so that Shen Zhu could not touch her again.

"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, these people are blocking me!"

Shen Zhu was angry inside, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she pointed in the direction they came from and spoke loudly, with malicious light flashing in her eyes.
