Chapter 32: The cat is exposed?
Tufengzhai is a den of bandits.
Wu Da walked into the village in a mighty manner, carrying the looted food and the luxurious carriage.
Many of the bandits' companions came out to greet them.
They were all delighted to see so much food and supplies looted.
Wu Da pointed at the people tied up at the back and said, "Throw these people at the back into the woodshed!"
The bandits looked at the bloody scratches and angry expression on the boss's face, and immediately booed him. Then they listened to the instructions and took the kidnapped people into the woodshed.
"Behave yourself!"
Shen Shi's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by a casual look from his master.
As soon as the bandits went out and locked the door, the ropes tied to the master and his servants fluttered to the ground.
"Go and explore."
Zishi's figure flashed and he jumped out of the window lightly.
Shen Shi took off his outer robe in a very servile manner and spread it on a pile of hay.
"Sir, please take a seat~"
Wei Rong looked at how satisfied Shen Shi had become with the role of housekeeper, curled his lips, and walked over to sit down.
All the jade ornaments on his body had been taken away by the bandits. Although he was wearing a human skin mask, his noble and lazy look remained.
Shen Shi couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the three bloody claws that Ah Fu had given to the bandit leader just now.
Fortunately, I didn’t mess with this old man, otherwise I might have these three claws on my face.
This also shows from the side how gentle Ah Fu is towards his master in daily life.
But think about it, Ah Fu is not an ordinary cat. Can ordinary cats understand human language or even write?
Yes, that's right, Afu is a cat that can write.
It was in the Duke's Mansion that we discovered that Ah Fu could write, and we caught the female thief in red.
When Shen Shi returned to his residence, he found that the clothes hanging on the hanger were gone, and a red bellyband was pulled out by the window. He guessed that the female thief had hidden in his house.
He quickly searched the house for any traces left by the female thief.
I found some writing on the table.
The handwriting was discovered thanks to Shen Shi's laziness. He rarely cleaned the house on weekdays. During that period, he rarely returned to live in the house and stayed in Zhanmo Courtyard all the time. A layer of dust covered the table.
Therefore, the handwriting is particularly clear on the dusty table.
The handwriting on the table did not look like it was drawn by human fingertips, but more like animal claws, with hairs on the edges.
Plus the yellow cat hair and cat paw prints scattered on the table.
Shen Shi immediately told his own prince about his discovery.
Finally, after considering all aspects, it was concluded that these words might have been written by a cat.
This conclusion may be shocking, but it was the most reasonable guess at the time.
After that, the prince also inadvertently tested Ah Fu, and Ah Fu fell into the trap.
This conjecture is further confirmed.
Shen Shi's worldview was a little collapsed at that time, but when he thought about how Ah Fu found the detoxifying herbs and saved the prince, and now he could write a word, it didn't seem so unacceptable.
This is also why Yun Fu squatted on the wall to see her senior sister off that night, and Wei Rong came to catch her, but did not care about the female thief who slipped away.
Because from the handwriting left on the table, it can be guessed that Ah Fu knew this female thief.
Yun Fu, who had already sneaked into Tufeng Village at this time, had no idea that she was about to be exposed.
He easily avoided the patrol of the bandits in the mountain stronghold.
Squatting under a beam covered with tiles, Yun Fu observed the mountain stronghold. It was even larger than she had imagined, and the patrolling bandits were holding big knives in their hands.
When she saw the lookout tower not far away, Yun Fu was basically certain that this was not an ordinary bandit's den.
Just as he was about to go look for Wei Rong, he saw a group of bandits carrying the looted food into a house.
Yun Fu hesitated for a moment, then secretly followed.
"Brother Hu, why did we rob so much food? Gold, silver and jewelry are more practical, but this food is enough for us to eat."
"We just need to do what the village chief does, and don't interfere with other things."
The two bandits piled up cartloads of food and fodder in a room.
While they were moving the things, Yun Fu slipped in through the crack of the door and hid behind a pile of food and grass.
After hearing the conversation between the two bandits, Yun Fu looked around the room. She didn't see the huge amount of food and fodder they were talking about. It only filled up one wall.
In about a cup of tea, the two bandits piled up the looted food and left.
Just when Yun Fu thought that the person had left and was about to check the room, a man walked in with two men in black suits and masks.
Yun Fu could only continue squatting.
The leader was the bandit carrying a big axe.
At this moment, the bandit had completely lost the arrogance and violence he had when he robbed. Instead, he lowered his head and looked submissive, and walked into the house with the two people behind him.
"Sir, this is the food we grabbed today."
The masked man nodded slightly when he saw the food in the house.
Wu Da breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them nod. "I hope you can say a few good words for me in front of that person."
Another person spoke up, "Our master will remember everything you have done. When the task is accomplished, we will reward you according to your merit."
Wu Da quickly agreed.
Yun Fu sniffed and smelled a subtle scent.
The smell came from the two masked men in black.
After the bandit leader respectfully sent the two masked men away, he turned back.
Yun Fu, who had just taken half a step forward, stretched her paw back.
This house is unusual~
Just as Yun Fu guessed, this house is more than it seems.
I saw this person in a corner, seemingly turning something.
Not long after, the wall next to the corner where Yun Fu was slid open, revealing a stone door.
Yun Fu quickly hid in the pile of food on the other side and watched the man walk in.
Yun Fu was extremely patient and waited.
Wei Rong looked at Ah Fu, who had not come to see him for a long time, with a bad expression on his face.
Shen Shi, who was standing by, had already noticed the cold air coming out from around his own prince.
As a personal master who grew up with the prince, Shen Shi immediately knew where the problem lay as soon as the prince frowned.
"Afu might be slow... and couldn't keep up."
Wei Rong raised his eyes, his voice a little cold.
"Oh." He didn't believe it.
He could spend the whole day fishing and catching butterflies in the mansion without seeing any cats, and sometimes he had to go catch them himself.
Now that he says he's slow, I'm afraid he's slipped away to some other place.
Just as Wei Rong said, Yun Fu sneaked into the warehouse of the bandit's den and found a secret room in the warehouse.
Yun Fu waited until the bandit came out with a red face, then carefully closed the stone door and turned the mechanism in the corner, and the wall returned to its original state.
After everyone left and making sure no one had come in, Yun Fu walked over.
When I walked to the corner, I saw a very ordinary wooden stake, which was very inconspicuous.
Yun Fu saw through the trick at a glance.
As the younger sister of the genius mechanical girl, the second senior sister, Yun Jiao has been watching her senior sister Yun Jiao tinkering with various mechanisms since she was a child. To Yun Fu, these mechanisms are just childish games.
Just as she was about to stretch out her paw to open the mechanism door, Yun Fu thought about it and retracted it.
She is just a cat now, and she would be dangerous if there were someone in the secret room.
Therefore, Yun Fu decided to find Wei Rong.
As soon as she slipped out of the room, Yun Fu met Zi Shi, who was as light as a swallow and flew silently to the beam at the corner.
At midnight, he saw a yellow kitten squatting on the beam of the opposite house. It was Ah Fu, the cat raised by his eldest son.
When Yun Fu saw Zi Shi, her eyes lit up. There were bandits patrolling under the beams, so she didn't dare to shout. In a hurry, she stood up, supported herself on the ground with her feet, and gestured to Zi Shi with her two front paws in the air.
When Zishi saw this scene, his expression, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, cracked a little.
Master, your cat seems to be walking upright...
