very good!
Xiahou Qing decisively attacked again, his movements as fast as lightning, and stretched out his claws towards the cat.
Just strangle him to death.
He thought coldly, a strong murderous intent emerged in his eyes, and the glowing red sleeves made his pupils red, as if blood was flowing in his pupils.
The cat, however, had no sense of crisis and was having a lot of fun.
"Meow~" The cat played with the beads for a while, then ran over to Xiahou Qing, put its little face close to him, and rubbed the left half of Xiahou Qing's flawless face tenderly.
The cat's face is fluffy, soft and warm.
In this hot winter, it is as warm as a sleeve warmer with just the right touch.
The hand that was originally intended to strangle the cat stopped in mid-air and did not move for a long time.
The aura around him was still cold and ruthless. Finally, a weird sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. He grabbed the cat by the scruff of the neck again and walked back with the cat in his arms.
“Meow meow meow!”
The cat protested and clamored excitedly.
At the entrance of the alley, an ordinary-looking young man in black stood there motionless, like a sculpture.
He immediately saw the calico cat in Xiahou Qing's hand and the two or three "plum blossom marks" on Xiahou Qing's face. He couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
Is this cat so bold that it wants to die?!
"Meow!"
The cat shouted at the boy arrogantly, baring its teeth and claws, as if to say, what are you looking at?! The boy in black accidentally met the calico cat's green eyes, and instantly revealed an obsessive look.
"My lord, this little cat is so cute, please don't hurt it." The boy changed his mind immediately and couldn't bear to take his eyes off the cat in front of him. He felt that its eyes were like gems and its fur was shiny and glossy.
It's normal for such a cute kitten to be a little bit temperamental. Why do you have to be so fussy?
The corners of Xiahou Qing's eyes twitched, and that charming and handsome face twisted for a moment. He felt that if he continued like this, he would be abandoned by his friends and relatives.
He looked at the fluffy little thing in his hand with some disgust, and the back of his hand tensed.
He took a deep breath, showing a suppressed expression, gritted his teeth and stuffed the damn cat into his wide sleeves.
Now no one can see the cat.
“Meow meow meow…”
The cat cried out several times in its sleeve, and finally bit Xiahou Qing's wrist with a "wow".
Xiahou Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he only said one word:
"Walk."
He walked forward with the cat in his arms, his bright red cape undulating like waves in the night wind...
The figures of the two people and the cat were soon swallowed up in the thick night.
The night gradually deepened.
That night, the wind never stopped blowing, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.
Early in the morning, the maids and old women who were responsible for sweeping the floor were busy, and the sounds of sweeping could be heard one after another.
After Juanbi served Gu Yanfei as usual, she got up and started looking for the cat everywhere.
"Girl, where's Qingguang?"
Juanbi looked everywhere inside and outside the house, even looking in the small warehouse in the backyard, and said disappointedly: "Did Qingguang go out to play? I asked the kitchen to make his favorite egg yolk duck meat shreds."
Others may not know, but she knew very well that Qingguang did not come back all night.
Although Qingguang is a cat, he is not an ordinary cat. He has the ability to protect himself when he encounters danger.
Moreover, its ability to charm has not been lost, and even mortals cannot harm it even if they worship it.
Where will it go?
If it were in the Yaoling Realm in the past, Gu Yanfei could sense Qingguang's exact location based on the contract between them.
But not now.
She could only barely sense where Qingguang had been last night and made sure it was not injured or in any danger.
Seeing Gu Yanfei looking at the courtyard outside, Juanbi couldn't help but stretch her neck and look outside again, wanting to see if Qingguang was hiding in some corner playing hide-and-seek with her.
However, still nothing was found.
Juanbi felt empty inside because she didn't find her precious Qingguang. She kept mumbling, "Girl, Qingguang didn't go out to play, did he?"
"It's not safe outside recently. When I went to the kitchen to pick up food just now, I heard that the grandson of Mrs. Wu, who guards the corner gate, was lost last night. Her family has been looking for him all night but still can't find him. Mrs. Wu is so worried that she came to the mansion to ask for help to find the child."
"Later, Granny Sun, who had just gone out shopping, came and said that there were dozens of beggars missing in the capital last night, and they were all little beggars."
Gu Yanfei stopped the water cup in his hand in mid-air and raised his eyebrows. "How did Granny Sun know that?"
There aren't many beggars in the capital, but they're definitely not few. Is there usually more or less beggars? How could Sun Po, a purchasing woman in a marquis's mansion, know so much? ! Juanbi scratched her cheek and shook her head: "I don't know."
She just overheard the meal in the kitchen and didn't know the details.
"I'll go and ask around." Juanbi had just put down the food box when she hurried out to ask around.
Juanbi was quick and well-informed. As soon as Gu Yanfei finished his breakfast, she came back panting.
"Miss, this morning, the Yu family set up a porridge stall near the south city gate. When Mrs. Sun passed by, she heard the women distributing porridge at the Yu family talking about how there was not even a child among those who came to get the porridge today."
"There was a beggar with a scruffy beggar who didn't even get the porridge. He was looking for his son like crazy everywhere. He said his son was only ten years old. He went to the City God Temple to beg yesterday and never came back."
"I heard that there was also a beggar who ran to Jingzhao Prefecture to report to the authorities, hoping to ask the yamen runners to help find his daughter, but he was beaten out with sticks."
Gu Yanfei turned the teacup in his hand and frowned deeply.
Juanbi swallowed and said, "Miss, this is all I have learned."
She could vaguely feel that her daughter seemed to be very concerned about this matter. Just as she was about to say that she would go out and ask again, she saw Gu Yanfei stood up neatly, stroked his sleeves and said, "I'm going out to look for Qingguang."
Juanbi quickly picked up a basket of cat toys from the side and hurriedly chased after her: "Miss, I will go with you."
As soon as Gu Yanfei went out, he walked west in the direction he sensed in his heart.
After crossing three or four streets, we came to a narrow alley. The crowns of the locust trees above were densely packed, forming a bunch of natural giant umbrellas.
Gu Yanfei walked in front, and Juanbi followed behind, holding a bell ball in her hand and swinging it back and forth repeatedly, shouting: "Qingguang! Qingguang!"
But nothing was found.
The entire alley was empty. There was neither a cat nor any other living creature. Only the yellow and green leaves of the locust trees above were swaying in the wind, and a few fallen leaves on the ground were occasionally blown up and swirled in the cold wind.
“Wuwuwu…”
"My dear, my dear..."
A hoarse and sorrowful sound of a man sobbing could be heard from the entrance of the alley ahead.
