The next morning, Qin Zhao went to Chen's house as promised.
For the first time ever, Jingli did not follow.
In fact, Qin Zhao was willing to take him there. Small fish don't sink, and this time they only had to walk from the west to the east of the village, so it wouldn't be difficult to put them in a backpack.
But Jing Li refused resolutely.
He still didn't know why he inexplicably turned into a human yesterday. If he changed again in front of people, he would definitely be beaten to death as a monster.
Moreover, everything was so rushed yesterday that he didn't even have time to see what he looked like. A person with scales on his body must not look good.
He didn't want Qin Zhao to see him like that.
"One last chance." Qin Zhao stood in front of the door and whispered to the inside, "Are you really not going?"
The little koi fish lay on the edge of the barrel, revealing a pair of clear red eyes, with hesitation clearly written in them. Man and fish stared at each other for a long time, and Jing Li shook his tail firmly.
No.
He is a fish with backbone, and he won't go if he says he won't go.
Qin Zhao couldn't do anything about him, so he said softly, "Then you stay home obediently, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he locked the door and left.
Jing Li looked at the closed door and suddenly felt a little depressed.
If only he could transform into a normal human form.
He really wants to go with Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao was gone for almost the entire morning. Jing Li waited and waited, and even accidentally fell asleep several times, but he still didn't come back.
He was originally very confident in Qin Zhao's medical skills.
This person buys all the medicines he drinks himself, and he knows so many kinds of herbs, so his medical skills must be good.
But the old lady he was going to treat did not have an ordinary illness.
The Chen family has seen so many doctors but none of them can help them. Does Qin Zhao really have a solution?
If he can't be cured, he will be kicked out of here.
The more Jing Li thought about it, the more worried he became. He gently tapped the water surface with his fish tail and jumped out of the water.
The little koi fell to the ground, shook off the water on its tail, and prepared to go to the east end of the village through the village ditch as it did in the past.
He just took a look secretly, and came back when he found out Qin Zhao was fine.
It shouldn't be discovered.
The door was locked from the outside by Qin Zhao, but the little koi was small enough to slip out through the tiny gap between the doors. He slowly moved forward and just arrived in front of the door.
"Meow--"
!!!
What, what's that sound?
The little koi was so scared that his dorsal fin stood upright. He lay on the ground, staring at the gap in the door without blinking.
Suddenly, a fluffy white cat's paw stretched out from the gap.
"Meow!"
Ahhhhhh——!
Jing Li jumped up from where he was, and stepped back repeatedly until he plopped into the wooden barrel on the table.
He quietly stuck his head out and looked outside. The cat's claws were still scratching the door. The kitten's fur was not long, and the front of its claws were white and the back was orange, like it was wearing a pair of white gloves.
It was the cat I wanted to eat last time!
The cat's claws scratched the old wooden door again and again, and the sharp sound made Jing Li feel creepy.
No, it's okay.
Qin Zhao locked the door today, so it can't get in.
He surely wouldn't be so unlucky—
Just as Jing Li was thinking this, he heard a snapping sound. The old, rotten wooden door was scratched by the cat's claws. The round cat eyes looked around for a moment, and then their sharp gaze fell on Jing Li.
Then, the orange cat used its head to push away the wood chips and actually crawled in through the small hole which was much smaller than its body.
Ahhhhhhh——!
The moment the orange cat jumped onto the table, Jing Li jumped up and slapped the wooden barrel hard with his fish tail, turning it upside down on the orange cat's head.
The orange cat was instantly completely wet and its movements slowed down.
Jing Li fell to the ground and struggled hard towards the door.
He quickly crawled out of the small hole scratched by the orange cat, and with a plop, jumped into the ditch not far from the door.
.
East of the village, Chen family.
The Chen family compound was considered wealthy compared to the surrounding villages. The front yard was filled with rice, vegetables, and some flowers. Entering from the front hall, it was divided into three smaller courtyards, totaling six or seven rooms.
