Chapter 8 Treasure Thief Rat and Competition
Lily, who was knocked down and lying on the ground, looked at the guy standing on her towering chest. It was a creature like an enlarged guinea pig, more than 40 centimeters tall, with snow-white fur, round little ears, and short There is a golden pattern that looks like an ingot on its limbs and belly.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak," the hamster in front of him looked at Lily, covered his mouth and snickered.
Although she didn't know what it was, Lily, who didn't think she would lose to a small animal, stretched out her hand to grab it again, but this guinea pig seemed to predict the future. It jumped lightly and avoided Lily's attack, even arrogantly. After dodging, he jumped back again, turned his back to Lily and twisted his little buttocks, continuing to make "squeaking" laughter.
"Damn it, I still don't believe I can't catch you!" Seeing the guinea pig's arrogance, Lily immediately raised her head, waved out the afterimage with her left hand, and grabbed the guinea pig with one claw faster than the other, but no matter how hard Lily tried, how she improved Despite the speed, this guinea pig still seemed to be at ease, dodging all Lily's attacks calmly.
The door opened with a "click", but Lily didn't care at all and still tried hard to catch the nasty guinea pig.
"I'm back." The hermit's slightly older but still sonorous and powerful voice sounded. Lily found that with the hermit's return, the guinea pig's attention was obviously attracted.
"Opportunity!" Lily grabbed it as fast as she could with all her strength, but unexpectedly, the guinea pig still managed to avoid it, and stepped directly on Lily's face, jumping hard.
"Boom!" "Oops!" Lily's head was trampled directly to the ground, and the guinea pig jumped on the hermit.
"Oh oh oh, you're back, how are you? Did you have fun today?" The hermit reached out to catch the guinea pig and scratched its chin.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak," the guinea pig cried and gestured while standing on the hermit's hand.
"Oh, really? Hahahaha, you were not at home and I didn't tell you. This is the person I rescued today, not the book thief. Her name is Lily, hahahaha, okay, okay, thank you for looking after the house." The hermit said. While he was doing this, he put the guinea pig on the sofa, and then helped Lily up who was lying on the ground doubting her life.
"What on earth is this?" Lily stared at the guinea pig and murmured to herself. She still couldn't accept that she couldn't catch a guinea pig. Even though she was injured, the guinea pig only stayed in one place. But I tried my best but couldn't even touch a hair.
"She, hahaha, don't be sad, she is the treasure rat 'Zhizhi'. She is a strange creature in my hometown. She can find all kinds of treasures. Even though she is not big, but in terms of age, Just two years younger than you." The hermit helped Lily to the sofa.
"Guinea pig?" Lily looked at Zhizhi beside her, "Can it live for twelve years?"
"Zhizhizhi!!!" When Zhizhi heard Lily's words, he immediately got angry and prepared to attack Lily. Fortunately, the hermit had quick eyesight and quick hands. He picked up Zhizhi and kept smoothing her hair to comfort her.
"The treasure thief is a treasure thief. If you call her a guinea pig, she will be angry."
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me." Lily looked at the angry Zhizhi and apologized quickly.
After hearing Lily's apology, Zhizhi finally calmed down, but still ignored Lily. A rat ran to the back of the sofa, turned his back to Lily and put his hands in his hands, looking like "Humph - this rat is very angry".
"It's okay, leave her alone, she will be fine after a while. Treasure rats are a specialty of my hometown. They can find all kinds of treasures and have a long lifespan. Generally speaking, they can live 80-120 years. Don't underestimate them, haha Hahahahaha." The hermit glanced at Zhizhi, and explained to Lily while stroking his beard and laughing.
"80-120 years, I can't imagine it. This is probably the longest-lived rodent I know." Lily stared at Zhizhi dumbfounded. In this chaotic sea, no one dared to say that they could survive. Over 80 years old, it is an amazing animal.
"Are all treasure-thief rats so strong?" Although she heard the hermit's explanation, Lily was still unhappy that she couldn't catch Zhizhi.
"No, no, no, it's not that. Apart from being faster and smarter, ordinary treasure-stealing rats are not much better than ordinary rats." The hermit waved his hand, "Zhizhi was trained by me since I was a child. Zhizhi's parents They were raised by me and have been with me for many years. Later, the two of them gave birth to Zhizhi, but Zhizhi never hatched. Oh, by the way, although treasure rats are mammals, they lay eggs, which is amazing. "
"Oviparous? Mammal?" Lily once again felt that the world was huge and full of wonders.
"Yes, it was not until a few years ago that Zhizhi was born, while Miu and Zhaoxuan are no longer around. I also raised Zhizhi, and I also taught her some skills. How about it? She's awesome," the hermit said. , while giving a thumbs up.
"Awesome, no! Wait!" Lily agreed casually, but suddenly discovered a blind spot. Treasure rats can live for 80-120 years. Zhizhi's parents were raised by hermits, but now these two are no longer there. ?
"Did Zhizhi's parents die of illness?" Lily asked cautiously
"Oh, no, normal death, death of old age." The hermit said nonchalantly. "So, how old are you?"
"Is this~~~ I won't tell you." The hermit pretended to think for a moment, and then suddenly made a face at Lily.
"If you want to know, just take good care of yourself. Maybe I will tell you one day when I am happy. As for now." The hermit said, suddenly taking out a huge plate of grilled fish from nowhere, "It's time to eat!"< br>
"Eat well! Rest well! This is the secret to healing! Let's start dinner!" A hermit raised his chopsticks like an old child.
"Zhizhizhi!" Zhizhi also jumped up.
"Huh," Lily breathed, forget it, the old man didn't want to say anything, just asking his age is a very impolite behavior, and then Lily started to echo "dinner is ready-"
"No, no, you have to be impressive even when you are eating! Come with me! Dinner is ready!!!" The hermit suddenly insisted for some reason, thinking that Lily had no momentum at all, and refused to hand the chopsticks to Lily.
"It's time to eat!" Lily shouted helplessly.
"No! Although the sound is enough, it doesn't have the momentum. Come again!"
“It’s time to eat!”
"No! Come again!"
“It’s time to eat!!”
"Not enough! Not enough! Do it again!"
A bunch of tic-tac-toes popped up on Lily's head. She had been teased by Zhizhi once, but now the hermit came again. Lily, who couldn't bear it anymore, took a deep breath.
"Open——!Food——!La——!"
"Hahahaha, that's cool, let's have dinner, let's have dinner!"
"Squeak!"
“Ah, it’s delicious.”
"Oh! You are eating so vigorously, we can't lose! Come on! Zhizhi!"
"Squeak!"
"Hahahahaha"
