Cong Zai seems to be the kind of cat that is very bold and loves to explore.
It had only been less than three days since it came to our home, and it was already running all over the place, both inside and outside.
That noon, Shi Wen was lying in bed reading some documents, planning to take a nap after finishing them.
Just as he was engrossed in watching, he suddenly heard a fierce roar.
That gruff voice sounded particularly fierce.
As a human with Qilin Bloodline, Shi Wen's nerves immediately tightened.
He suddenly sat up, barefoot, grabbed the vase beside the bed, and quietly walked outside.
He had just reached the door when he heard that roar again.
Cong Zai was standing on the threshold of the living room, mouth agape, looking like a "roaring dragon," yelling at Le Wa and An Wa.
The two dogs were so frightened that their ears were pressed back, their faces filled with terror, as if they were thinking, "Who am I? What am I doing?" Their paws were shuffling to the side, and they looked like they really wanted to run away.
Shi Wen a sigh of relief and lowered his hand that was holding the vase.
He thought it was some kind of ferocious beast, but it turned out to be Cong Zai.
It startled him.
But Cong Zai is really fierce.
Cong Zai probably heard the sound of fabric rubbing together, turned his head and glanced at it, immediately spotting Shi Wen.
A person and a cat stared at each other.
Cong Zai remained roaring, but when it Shi Wen's eyes, it became visibly embarrassed. It opened its mouth wide as if to yawn, and then stretched.
After stretching, it immediately sat up at the doorway, transforming back into the handsome, harmless little eunuch.
Its change of attitude was so swift and nonchalant that even Shi Wen was momentarily stunned.
This kitten actually has two faces.
Le Wa and An Wa also saw Shi Wen, and instantly relaxed, whimpering and Shi Wen to Shiwen in a very aggrieved manner.
Cong Zai sat upright by the door, intently licking its paws, as if it hadn't done anything wrong.
She's a very good actress.
As the patriarch of a large family, Shi Wen casually placed the vase on the table next to him, coughed lightly, and stepped forward to uphold justice.
"Cong Zai, Le Wa and An Wa are also members of the family, you're not allowed to be mean to them."
"And you two, Le Wa and An Wa, Cong Zai just came to our house, so please be friendly and don't mess with him."
After giving each of them a scolding, Shi Wen looked at Cong Zai and began to ponder.
He had just witnessed Cong Zai's fighting prowess for the first time.
If I can beat up the dog at home, catching a field mouse shouldn't be a problem, right?
Shi Wen tentatively carrying Cong Zai into the cornfield.
Cong Zai nestled in his arms, his fluffy body soft and warm.
Its two front paws rested gently on Shi Wen's arm, its round green eyes looked around alertly, and it made a gurgling sound in its throat, like a small tractor.
The Shi Wen it melts your heart.
Given Cong Zai's performance, even if it couldn't catch a single field mouse, Shi Wen would definitely keep it and take good care of it.
Shi Wen put Cong Zai down, squatted in the cornfield, pointed to the bitten-off ears of corn, and said to it, "Cong Zai, look at this."
Cong Zai sat obediently, its tail wrapped around its paws, looked up at Shi Wen, and softly meowed, a meow that was both soft and sweet, as if responding to Shi Wen.
Shi Wen was about to speak, he suddenly hesitated. The little guy's cry was too soft, and he was a little worried about whether it could handle the field mouse.
Although it can fight off dogs, the dogs it encounters are all domesticated dogs with gentle personalities and won't bite the cat.
The field mice outside are a different story. If they get cornered, they will actually bite a cat, and quite a few cats have been frightened by mice.
Shi Wen looked down at the black cat crouching in front of him. Its pupils were shrunken because of the sunlight, and its ears were perked up, with the hairs at the tips of its ears looking particularly spirited.
Okay, I'll give it a try.
Shi Wen throat and continued telling Cong Zai about the situation in the cornfield.
After a short while, Shi Wen finished speaking, his throat quite dry. "... That's it. See if you can catch the culprit that bit the corn seedlings."
He looked at Cong Zai's face.
Its expression was very serious; it was unclear whether it had understood what it was saying.
He then said, "Why don't you go and try it first?"
After hearing this, Cong Zai stood up and ran away.
Shi Wen was surprised that Cong Zai reacted so quickly, and he hurriedly followed behind Cong Zai.
The corn in the cornfield was planted very densely, and you often had to be very careful to find gaps Shi Wen walking through it.
Nevertheless, he still accidentally stepped on and broke two corn seedlings, and could only take out corn seeds from his pocket and repair them.
Cong Zai ran forward with lightning speed, leaving no trace of the corn seedlings in his wake, demonstrating his remarkable agility.
Shi Wen caught up with Cong Zai was facing a large hole, letting out a fierce growl from his throat.
The sound was particularly fierce; not only the small animals in the cave, but even those Shi Wen it were afraid of being scratched.
But wouldn't making that sound alert the enemy?
The small animals inside the cave would certainly be too scared to come out when they heard the noise.
Shi Wen a little anxious and was just about to remind Cong Zai.
Cong Zai suddenly turned and ran.
Shi Wen its figure disappear into the distance, completely bewildered. It darted away like an arrow, disappearing more than ten meters away.
It aimed at a hole in the ground, leaped high into the air, and then jumped down sharply, burying its head in the hole.
Then, it rolled over on the spot.
When it looked up again, it had a large field mouse, about the same size as itself, in its mouth.
Good heavens!
Shi Wen was stunned.
He explained that the Cong Zai was howling at the hole because it was a diversionary tactic, deliberately driving the field mice inside to the other side of the hole.
And it turns out it hunts so cleanly and efficiently!
The whole process took less than three minutes!
