Chapter 24
That was so efficient.
Calling him a hunting master wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Shi Wen moment: if one day, as the Abnormal Affairs Bureau said, he really did grow to the peak and become Qilin, could he be as powerful as Cong Zai?
That seems a bit difficult.
This little guy is amazing!
After the Cong Zai caught its bite, it looked up.
Upon seeing Shi Wen standing not far away, Cong Zai, with a field mouse in its mouth by the side of its neck, puffed out its chest and dragged the large field mouse towards him, in a posture of seeking praise.
It should take credit for this.
If he could get his hands on prey of that caliber, he'd run three laps around the ranch to let everyone know.
Cong Zai ran up to Shi Wen, looking quite proud.
Shi Wen, gave a thumbs up, and praised enthusiastically with a smile, "Cong Zai, you're amazing!"
Cong Zai became even more smug from the praise, his mustache almost bristling.
After being praised for a while, Cong Zai moved its paw, carrying the large field mouse in its mouth, and squatted down in front of Shi Wen, meowing softly.
Meowing, Cong Zai tilted his head, looking at Shi Wen, eager to offer him the large field mouse in his mouth.
Shi Wen saw through its intention and quickly waved his hand. "No, no, no, you keep it for yourself, you don't need to give it to me."
With a hint of regret, Cong Zai changed direction slightly, holding the field mouse more securely.
The large field mouse squeaked as the Cong Zai bit it.
Shi Wen originally wanted to pat Cong Zai on the head as a sign of encouragement.
Seeing the large field mouse still kicking and struggling, he silently withdrew his hand.
He was a little afraid that the large field mouse would jump on him if he continued to touch it.
The main problem was that the field mouse was enormous, almost the size of a small dog, far exceeding his expectations.
Cong Zai's performance was too amazing. Shi Wen hold back, but couldn't resist. He took out his phone and snapped several photos, then posted them on his WeChat Moments.
"Black Cat Detective and the Giant Rat".
His post on WeChat Moments caused a huge stir.
Zhang Deyuan: [Good heavens! Is this rat too big or your cat too small?!]
Luo Qinggui: [Clapping. JPG] Cong Zai is so amazing, he's already on the job so quickly.
Ge Yue: [Wow, Brother Shi, your cat looks so cool!]
Lin Chengqian: [This field mouse looks familiar; it seems to be a local subspecies.]
Yan Kexing: [Impressive.]
Fu Meng: [Did you find the cat?]
More than ten comments appeared in one go.
Shi Wen's gaze fell precisely on Yan Kexing's comment.
Although Yan Kexing wasn't the first or last to comment, he was among the first to reply: [Its name is Cong Zai, it's both amazing and adorable!]
Yan Kexing: [So your dog's name ends in "wa" and your cat's name ends in "zai"?]
Shi Wen: [That's the plan for now.]
The two chatted briefly in the comments section. After Yan Kexing stopped replying, Shi Wen posted a joint reply, thanking the others.
Ge Yue was scrolling through his phone when he saw the message. He held it up to Gong Jiang and asked, "Senior brother, when did Brother Shi and Teacher Yan become so close?"
Gong Jiang looked up from his busy schedule and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because they deal with each other a lot."
Ge Yue: "Speaking of which, Brother Shi's ranch has become so beautiful. I really want to go visit him and pet some of his cats and dogs."
Lin Chengqian interjected, "I want to go to his ranch to study the small animals; his farm has such rich biological resources."
Gong Jiang: "How about we ask Teacher Yan if she has any suitable projects?"
Chapter 24
With cats and dogs in the house, the ranch has become much more lively.
The little ones are a bit too active and energetic; they even do parkour at night. Shi Wen's hearing is too acute, and he's been woken up several times.
After being woken up again, Shi Wen frowned and buried his head under the pillow.
Cats and dogs being too diligent isn't good either; I guess I'll have to talk to them about it tomorrow.
Shi Wen this, Shi Wen lay down and went back to sleep.
When he woke up the next day, he had forgotten what had happened the night before.
As usual, he quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and prepared cat and dog food, intending to take it out to feed the cats.
To my surprise, when I opened the door, there was a row of large field mice neatly arranged at the entrance, just like dried radishes, with almost the same spacing between them!
The family's three dogs and one cat were sitting behind the large field mouse. Upon seeing Shi Wen it, they all raised their heads simultaneously: "Woof woof," "Meow."
Shi Wen's smile froze on her face, and she stopped in her tracks.
So many field mice!
So many big field mice!
Le Wa was the most anxious. Shi Wen stopped moving, she patted the ground with her paws, desperately trying to signal Shi Wen look at the big field mouse at her feet.
It whimpered from its nose, its eyes were wet, and Shi Wen and then at the big field mouse, its desire for praise overflowing.
Seeing that Shi Wen didn't react, Le Wa even used her paw to push the large field mouse towards Shi Wen, indicating that it was given to him.
"Le Wa— " Shi Wen called out, her tone complicated, "I won't eat it, you can take it back."
Le Wa: "Woof woof!"
Le Wa pushed the big field mouse forward again, jumped around several times, and was so anxious she was almost about to speak, "Woof woof woof!"
Shi Wen waved his hands repeatedly and stepped back, saying, "No, no, no, I really won't eat it. You don't need to be so polite. Heiwa, Heiwa, tell them I won't eat it."
Le Wa spun around in place, and even Heiwa looked at Shi Wen with a puzzled expression.
Shi Wen earnestly emphasized, "I don't eat field mice; it's good that you have this filial piety."
Le Wa came up and tried to lick Shi Wen.
Unable to bear the Shi Wen of the field mouse licking itself after biting its mouth, Shi Wen fled, saying before his escape, "Dinner's ready! Make some room, I'll go serve you your food."
It's rare to Shi Wen run that fast.
The little guys had no choice but to pick up the large field mouse they had caught and head towards the livestock shed.
He ran to the livestock shed Shi Wen looking back.
Cong Zai, exuding an air of dominance, led the way carrying a field mouse, with Heiwa following behind, and Le Wa and An Wa trailing even further back.
