The round cat's head suddenly lifted up, and its blue cat eyes looked at her brightly.
"Of course I'm not angry. There's nothing to be angry about."
Hua Shi said, waving his hand.
The black cat's eyes lit up instantly, "Meow..."
The cry was long and sticky, as if it was acting coquettishly.
Hua Shi nodded his chin, looking at the black cat whose face showed all kinds of emotions, thoughtfully.
"Ah, you really can understand me."
Hua Shi's words made the cat tremble.
"Meow--!"
The black cat stared at her with wide eyes, somewhat dully.
It's not surprising when it blooms.
The black cat followed her and drank the spring water for almost two months. She also knew the magic of the spring.
However, she didn't know whether the black cat was originally very intelligent and could understand her words before following her, or whether it only understood her words under the influence of the spring water...
Before this, she had never thought about it. The black cat behaved very differently from ordinary cats. It always drank a few sips of spring water and then ran out to find food. It went out early and came back late, and rarely stuck to the Hua family's yard.
She had reason to suspect that the black cat ran back to the Hua family every day because of the spring in her palm. After all, she was so poor that she had no food to feed it.
If it wasn't a wild mountain cat that could find food on its own and follow her, she wouldn't be able to feed it.
If it weren't for the white fox and the wild deer today, Hua Shi would not have realized that this black cat was much smarter than she thought and could clearly understand what she said.
Besides not being able to speak human language, he also behaves too spiritually...
"Meow……?"
The black cat scratched the snow with its claws to attract her attention, then looked at her innocently.
"You know what I'm saying, right?"
Hua Shi bent down and squatted, scratching its furry chin with her hand.
"Meow……"
The cat, who usually pretended to be innocent, now looked at her with a bewildered expression, not knowing what to say.
Seeing this, Hua Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I know you are pretending, and I won't do anything to you."
She patted its head, stood up again, and continued walking forward.
Anyway, this cat is very smart and pretends to know nothing even in front of her, so there is no need to worry too much that it will reveal its true identity in front of others.
After all, in human society, animals that are too smart will be regarded as aliens or monsters, especially since it seems to understand her speech...
And it seems that there are still many unknown secrets hidden in the forests and mountains...
If the black cat was able to understand her words because of the influence of the spring water, then what about those in the mountains, whether it was the "mountain spirits" and wolves she encountered for the first time, or the foxes and wild deer this time, they all behaved very intelligently.
"Meow……"
The black cat looked at Hua Shi's back as he walked away, blinked his blue cat eyes, and immediately followed him happily.
Such a lively look, where is the trace of innocence left...
…
When Hua Shi returned to the Hua family courtyard, the house was quiet and there was no smell of life.
Mrs. Li obviously didn't plan to cook, which was expected and she was not surprised at all.
The direction of the main hall opposite the courtyard gate was also quiet. I didn't know whether Li was in her own room or in Hua's father's room in the side house.
A few days ago, Hua's father went to take part in the local provincial examination and was away for four days. Li followed him and only came back two days ago.
During this period of time, it can be seen that Li attaches great importance to whether Hua Ciyuan can pass the imperial examination. She has been caring about him and ignoring them.
When the weather got colder, there was less work to do. Perhaps because they felt they were eating for free, they refused to give them even the gruel mixed with stones and the hard steamed bread...
For the sake of his younger siblings, Hua Yu went out early and came back late almost every day, doing odd jobs for others in the village just to earn a living.
Now, she was almost disliked by the whole family. Aside from the youngest, Huaying, who would occasionally sneak over to ask her for food, everyone else looked down on her and refused to pay any attention to her...
In the yard, snowflakes fluttered down...
Hua Li and Hua Xiao were squatting in the snow, picking up a small basket of firewood. It was called firewood, but in fact it was just branches as thick as three fingers.
If you want to burn these thin branches into charcoal for heating, I'm afraid you won't be able to burn much.
If you want to burn charcoal, it is best to use thicker firewood...
Hua Shi had just walked into the yard when Hua Ying, who was sitting under the eaves in front of the main hall door, had sharp eyes and immediately saw the basket full of winter dates on Hua Shi's arm.
The little bean bun, whose face and hands were red from the cold, stood up suddenly and trotted towards Hua Shi, standing in front of Hua Shi, looking up at her with bright eyes.
"Hungry...eat."
The baby's voice was dry and a bit like smoke, probably because he hadn't eaten or drunk water for a long time.
As expected, Hua Shi heard him cry out that he was hungry. She grabbed a handful of food and stuffed it into his little hand.
That cold, red hand made her subconsciously hold his hand.
Xiao Huaying took a handful of winter dates and was about to pull her hand back when the hand holding the dates was suddenly held by Huashi.
His expression suddenly twisted, his eyes fixed on her hands, and he struggled with his hands, obviously anxious.
Hanashi let go of his hand this time.
The little fellow who managed to break free, holding the winter dates, hid far away cautiously, with only the handful of winter dates in his eyes...
Only then did Hua Shi notice that Hua Ying was still wearing the straw sandals she wore in summer. From her ankles down to her entire feet, a large area of skin was exposed, and her little heels were frozen purple.
