Chapter 777 Promise and the Grumpy Old Man
However, soon, Xiao Xiao calmed down and looked thoughtful.
After thinking about everything before contacting him, he came up with this guess, "Do you have a friend trapped in that old man's house?"
……
"Meow~"
"Meow meow meow~"
The cats nodded excitedly.
Some cats even spun in circles excitedly.
……
"Really?"
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised.
He was about to give up this guess because, "Grandpa just said that he doesn't have a cat."
……
He could see that the old man was not lying.
Grandpa really hates cats.
The disgust and disgust the other person expressed when talking about cats was obvious.
How could such an old man raise a cat?
……
However, the old man did not lie.
These cats have even less reason to lie.
……
What the hell is going on?
……
"Meow meow~"
The cat with yellow eyes stretched out its paws and grabbed Xiao Xiao's pants. It barked urgently and nodded and shook its head.
Xiao Xiao stared at it for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "You mean, you have friends trapped inside-"
"But it's not a cat, right?"
……
"Meow~"
The cat with yellow eyes yelled, and the joy in its round and big eyes exploded like fireworks.
……
"That's it."
Xiao Xiao's face showed surprise.
"Then who are your friends?"
"Dog?"
"No?"
"Then... little bird? Rabbit?"
"Turtle?"
……
Xiao Xiao guessed one after another, but all of them were rejected by the cats.
After finally solving a puzzle, another problem immediately appeared.
"No way-"
Xiao Xiao frowned and thought. He almost mentioned some common small animals, even the unlikely ones, such as snakes and toads, but the results were wrong.
"Who are your friends?"
This is too difficult to guess.
……
"Meow meow~"
"Meow meow meow~"
……
The cats started to "point fingers" again.
Xiao Xiao:......
……
Even the little chubby cat in his arms was making gestures.
He flicked the little fat cat's forehead with his finger.
"Don't worry."
……
"Is that friend of yours big?"
Xiao Xiao changed the question.
"Meow~"
The cats nodded.
Some cats even stretched out their limbs, trying their best to show how big their friends were.
……
Is it a large animal?
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Okay, I understand."
This is good news. Large animals are always easier to find than smaller ones.
……
"Come with me."
Xiao Xiao walked towards the corner not far away.
……
"Meow~"
The cats looked at each other and looked back at the room, hesitating whether to follow Xiao Xiao?
……
"Since you came to me for help, then just trust me, okay?"
Xiao Xiao turned to look at them.
……
"Meow~"
The cat with yellow eyes meowed and walked towards Xiao Xiao first.
"Meow meow~"
Other cats followed in twos and threes.
……
Xiao Xiao glanced at the cat with yellow eyes, with a slight smile in his eyes.
…He didn’t go far.
I found a low corner of the wall at the corner of the alley and held my umbrella on it.
"Come here."
He waved to the cat, who watched his movements curiously.
……
"Meow~"
The cat with yellow eyes glanced at Xiao Xiao and meowed at the other cats.
One by one, the wild cats walked under the umbrella in an orderly manner.
……
Xiao Xiao also put the chubby cat in his arms under the umbrella.
Then he looked at the only cat that hadn't entered the umbrella, the cat with yellow eyes that had always acted very smart.
"It's not convenient for you to come with me."
"As you can see, grandpa hates cats."
"So, you also join them and wait for me here."
"I will bring your friends back."
……
It's not winter now, his clothes are light, and there's no place to hide a cat.
Otherwise, he actually wouldn't mind bringing a kitten in.
To prevent yourself from making a mistake and saving the wrong person.
Although, he thinks this possibility is not very high.
After all, that old man doesn't look like someone who knows how to keep pets.
And, judging by how excited these cats are, there's a good chance their companions will be locked up.
As long as a living animal is found locked up in that house, it is probably the friend these cats want to rescue.
……
Seeing the unwilling expression of the cat with yellow eyes, Xiao Xiao reached out and rubbed the cat's head, "Okay, don't worry, you are here with them."
"I'll be back soon."
……
The yellow cat pupils were round and big, and Xiao Xiao's appearance in the heavy rain was clearly reflected inside.
This smart and stubborn cat rubbed back a few times along the force of the palm of its head.
Then, he ran to his companion's side with light steps.
……
Xiao Xiao looked back at the cats who were staring at him with eager eyes.
The corners of his mouth are slightly hooked.
He waved his hand and walked towards the way he came.
It was raining heavily, but there was not a trace of mist in front of his eyes.
……
Xiao Xiao stopped in front of the old grandfather's house.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The iron door made a dull sound.
……
After knocking several times, there was no response from the door.
Xiao Xiao was not in a hurry and kept knocking on the door at a leisurely pace.
After a while, he heard a faint crackling movement in the room.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but the movement of his hands still did not stop.
"Dong~dong~dong~"
……
"Which guy who has enough to eat and nothing to do is knocking on my door?!"
……
"Knock, knock, knock, knock again!"
The iron door was opened vigorously from the inside, revealing the old man's impatient and gloomy face.
……
"Hello, grandpa."
Xiao Xiao smiled politely.
……
The old man looked stunned, then yelled, "It's you little bastard again!"
"What are you doing here again?"
……
The old man suddenly looked around as if he remembered something, and his face looked a little better when he found that those annoying little beasts were gone.
"Get out!"
As he said that, he grabbed the door handle with his dry hand and was about to close the iron door.
He didn't have time to deal with the incomprehensible brat.
He didn't care about the other person's missing umbrella or his drowned rat appearance.
……
Xiao Xiao sighed, what a grumpy old man.
He raised his hand and stopped the iron door that was about to close.
"Grandpa-"
The old man was about to slam the door and turn around in one breath, but suddenly he felt a sense of blockage coming from his hand.
He was stunned, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, but the iron door remained motionless.
He looked up when he heard the young man's voice in front of him.
Sure enough, the young man's hand was on the iron door.
The old man's heart suddenly became angry.
The hand holding the door handle was squeezed tightly, and the other hand was also put on it.
The whole body leaned back.
The old man tried his best to suck the milk, and his face turned red.
The veins on his neck were also exposed, showing a bit of ferocity.
