"Although it's a messy and unsightly place, the entire town's outflow is also located there."
…
After coming out of the clinic that day, Xie Mingchi proposed to go to the black market to investigate. Hua Shi still remembered the last words he said.
She understood what Xie Mingchi meant. Although the black market was dangerous, the intelligence network was well-developed. If she wanted to find a doctor in the town with medical skills that were good enough to cure Hua Yu's injured leg, she would most likely not be able to find one.
But there are all kinds of people in the black market. As long as you are willing to spend money, there will naturally be someone who can help you find the information you need...
After the two reached an agreement on their goal, they had dinner at the night market and then returned to the inn.
Along the way, Xie Mingchi seemed a little silent, and I didn't know what he was thinking. Hua Shi spoke to him and called him twice before he responded slowly...
"Meow……"
There was a rustling sound of footsteps outside the door, and the black cat in the house jumped down from the table, walked with light cat steps, and squatted in front of the door.
"Bang--"
After a while, as the footsteps approached, the door was pushed open.
Hua Shi saw Xiao Hei squatting on the ground and licking his paws. In the dim room, a pair of blue cat eyes were looking towards the door.
"Meow……"
"Xiao Hei...?"
"Meow."
Hearing Xiao Hei's cry, Hua Shi walked forward, bent down and picked up the black cat.
The black cat jumped lightly into her arms, found a comfortable position, and curled up in her arms.
Xie Mingchi walked in behind him and lit the oil lamp on the windowsill. The dim room was illuminated by the flickering flame.
His vision suddenly opened up, and Hua Shi paused in pulling the cat, his gaze falling on the table, where the scattered bundles and a messy pile of butter paper filled the entire table.
Hua Shi walked over and lifted the messy pile of oil paper. The small portion of dried meat wrapped inside was completely gone...
"Xiao Hei, did you eat all this jerky in one day?"
Hua Shi screamed in surprise and carefully searched the pile of papers on the table, but still couldn't find the remaining dried meat.
That small portion of dried meat was the amount of food she and Xie Mingchi ate together. No matter how greedy Xiao Hei was, it was impossible for him to eat it all in just one day...
"Meow……"
The black cat swept its tail lazily, curled up, and looked up at her with an innocent look, as if it didn't understand what she was saying.
Hua Shi has gotten used to it. Every time this guy wants to hide something from her or doesn't want to answer her directly, he always likes to look innocent and try to get away with it.
"Let me see your stomach. You've eaten so much dried meat, isn't your stomach bloated?"
Hua Shi pressed it gently with her hand, and found that Xiao Hei's soft belly was not bulging, nor did it look like it was being stretched.
Xie Mingchi came over and thought for a moment before saying, "Could it be that his appetite has increased?"
Within one day, his appetite grew so big that he ate up half a bag of jerky...?
Hua Shi still had some doubts, but after checking again and again, she didn't find anything wrong with Xiao Hei. This harmless doubt was quickly put aside by her.
Hua Shi spent the whole night dreamlessly. When the sky was a little brighter, she woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Hei's cat hair piled on his face. Her vision was completely blocked by the black cat's curled up body.
I reached out to my side and found that the person who was lying next to me had stood up at some point. The bed was already cold, and in his place was a black cat that had jumped up at some point.
Hua Shi pushed the black cat's butt away from her face, turned over and sat up, looking at the steaming bowl on the table. She paused, her thoughts returning to her mind, remembering what Xie Mingchi said last night...
He said he would go out early this morning and asked her to wait at the inn. It was not easy to enter the black market and one needed someone acquaintance to lead him in. Xie Mingchi went out early to find someone for help.
Hua Shi simply washed up, ate the breakfast prepared by Xie Mingchi, a fried egg pancake and clear soup noodles, fed Xiao Hei some dried fish, and then prepared to go out.
Because he didn't know how long he would be away this time, and didn't know how many potential dangers there were in a place like the black market, Hua Shi decided to take Xiao Hei with him.
But Xiao Hei, who was always obedient, jumped out of her arms when she was about to carry it out, squatted on the ground, and meowed, as if refusing to go out this time.
"Xiao Hei...?"
Hua Shi reached out to hug it again, but the black cat shrank back and avoided her hand.
"Meow meow meow."
Xiao Hei called out to her a few times and raised his head towards the door, as if to signal her to go by herself.
"Aren't you going out with me?"
"Meow."
"Really not going?"
“Meow….”
Hua Shi asked two questions in succession, and Black Cat answered every question and told her very clearly that he would not go.
Hua Shi stood up, scratched his head, and looked at Xiao Hei who had already jumped onto the windowsill. He felt that its current attitude was indescribable strange.
So weird...
Helpless, Hua Shi gave it a few instructions, left enough dried fish for it to eat for a day, and then went out alone.
The door was closed again. Xiao Hei, who was sitting on the windowsill, was licking his paws carelessly. However, when he heard the door closing, he stopped immediately, looked back, and after making sure that the door was closed tightly, the black figure jumped out from the windowsill and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Meow meow meow…”
"Meow."
Two approaching cat meows were heard from the quiet and deserted alley behind the inn. A large orange cat walked out from the corner with slow cat steps.
