Chapter 976 Losing his wife and losing his troops

Isn't this the cow from grandma's house? Why is she still outside at this time? Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling were a little confused.

"Meow..." The cow rubbed Lu Jingxing's hand and turned around to look at the rag doll that was more than a meter away from them.

"What's going on? What's going on, cow? Don't tell me this is your romantic debt again?" Ji Ling frowned and patted the cow's butt.

After hearing what she said, Lu Jingxing chuckled. However, this was definitely not the first time for the cow, so she was considered a cat with a criminal record.

This guy is indeed quite charming, and there are often wild cats following him.

When Lu Jingxing stroked it, the little guy rolled on the ground, exposing his belly and letting him touch it. He didn't understand Ji Ling's words and didn't refute them.

Lu Jingxing stroked it and asked in his heart: "What's the situation?"

"Meow... I caught fish for it to eat, and it followed me. I wanted to go back, and it kept following me..." The cow understood and glanced at the rag doll squatting in the distance.

"Little female cat?" Lu Jingxing asked.

He actually saw embarrassment on the little cow's face. It turned to the right and meowed softly, which was a response to Lu Jingxing's question.

"You guy, your eggs are broken but you're still so restless. What should we do now? Are you planning to take it back? Aren't you afraid that Xiaobai will be angry?" Lu Jingxing said pretending to be angry.

"Meow meow...it...I don't want it to go back, it keeps following me..." The cow actually looked a little aggrieved.

"Call it over here, I want to see if it's healthy..." Lu Jingxing saw that the little guy was quite reluctant to let him and Ji Ling get close to him, but it didn't run far away, probably because it still wanted to run with the cow.

His occupational disease made him want to see if the doll was sterilized. If not, he would definitely take it back.

The cow meowed, stood up with a somersault, and ran over immediately.

Lu Jingxing continued to half-squat and looked up at Ji Ling.

"I asked it to call the ragdoll over. I don't know whether the little guy is male or female, and whether it has been neutered..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Ninety-nine percent of them are female, huh..." Ji Ling felt indignant for Xiao Bai, as if she had caught her best friend's husband cheating on her.

Lu Jingxing stood up with a smile and pulled her hand: "Haha, don't be angry, maybe the cow helped it, and then it wanted to follow the cow, it's not that the cow wanted to provoke it..."

As the two were talking, the cow came over with the doll, looking back every few steps.

Maybe it's afraid that the puppet won't follow it.

"Meow... hurry up..." Seeing the doll dilly-dallying, the cow got angry.

When the cow roared at it, the puppet quickened its pace and trotted after it.

Ji Ling saw it approaching and squatted down as well: "It's a long-haired rag doll. It looks pretty. How did it become a stray cat?"

Although it is said that the calico cat is the most beautiful cat in the cat world, if you look at it, this ragdoll is definitely a beautiful cat.

Lu Jingxing also found it very strange.

More importantly, this little guy is not shy at all. After approaching the two people, he took the initiative to rub against them, meowing non-stop.

"Hey, it's not a female cat, it's a little male cat, and it's not sterilized..." Lu Jingxing pushed the little guy down with a look of disbelief.

"What..." Ji Ling was also dumbfounded.

"Haha, we have all wronged the cow... This guy picked up a little brother, that's not right, why didn't it dare to take the little brother home..." Lu Jingxing felt that the cow didn't dare to take it back because it was afraid that Xiaobai would be angry. Since it was a little brother, what was it afraid of.

"Haha, I know. It must be afraid that if we take it back, it will take Xiaobai away. Then it will lose both the wife and the army..." Ji Ling also laughed.

"Haha, is that the reason? Cow, haha..." Lu Jingxing also found it very funny, and the two of them laughed.

The cow stood by with a grunt, looking at the two people with laughter, and then it twisted its little butt and ran away quickly.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you running away? What should it do..." Lu Jingxing shouted at it.

"Brother said you would help me find Mom, right?" The puppet put its head into Lu Jingxing's head and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Hmm?" Lu Jingxing lowered his head and looked at the little puppet. The cow is pretty good at passing the buck.

The cow ran towards the community without even looking back.

"Finally I got rid of that guy. Meow meow meow..." The little guy hummed as he ran.

It’s a pity that Lu Jingxing didn’t hear it. If he had heard it, he would have been so happy that he would have died.

"Wow, its sound is even louder than that of a pliers..." Ji Ling didn't understand what the little puppet said, but the grandma's pliers sound it made was quite nice.

“Come, let sister hug you…” Ji Ling stretched out her hand, picked up the little guy, and held him directly in her arms.

"It looks like it was lost not long ago. Its fur is still clean, chubby, and friendly." Lu Jingxing stood up and touched the little guy's head.

"Yeah, I think so too. What should we do now? Should we just take him back?" Ji Ling turned half of his body. At this moment, there was no one by the river, so it was probably impossible to find out more about the situation.

"Take it back. The cow means that it is handed over to us." Lu Jingxing nodded.

The two of them carried the little guy in their arms and walked towards home. The little guy was snoring and didn't seem to be shy or afraid at all.

"It must be often held and played with by its owner. It's not afraid of people at all. By the way, does it need to be sterilized? It looks like it is only seven or eight months old..." Ji Ling held the little guy in her arms, and after a while, it actually started snoring in her arms.

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "Let's go back and post it on the platform to ask. It should have escaped from nearby. If we can find its owner, we won't sterilize it yet. We can sterilize it after we are sure it has no owner."

Judging from its appearance, Lu Jingxing was almost certain that it was not a stray cat. It was so beautiful, and if possible, he could let it have a baby.

"Eh? What's wrong with your thoughts? You keep the good-looking ones for offspring, but not the ugly ones?" Ji Ling saw through his thoughts at once. Lu Jingxing smiled innocently and touched the back of his head. How come this little girl is like a worm in his stomach? She can see through his thoughts.

"Hehe, I do have this idea, but it doesn't mean that we won't keep it if it's not good-looking. It's just that it does look good. If by any chance we can find its owner in the next two days, it would be best to let its owner make the decision on sterilization. If we can't find it, it won't be too late for us to do it then. It doesn't look big, and we have plenty of time." Lu Jingxing smiled awkwardly.

"This little face is really pretty, and it's very straight. I guess the owner spent some money to buy it." Ji Ling lowered his head and lifted the little guy's face.

The little guy squinted his eyes, buried his head in her palm, and fell asleep again.

"How defenseless it is! Fortunately it's a little male cat. If it was a little female cat, it would be dangerous if left outside like this." Ji Ling pinched its ears.

"It still has round ears? Really, look, round ears?" Ji Ling was like seeing a new world: "Just tell me what's wrong, I think it seems to be particularly cute, is it because of its round ears?"

Lu Jingxing nodded. He had already noticed it: "I noticed it from the beginning. Round ears do make the face look rounder and sweeter overall, but..."

"It's so special. In my impression, aren't cats' ears pointed? Why is its ears round?" The more Ji Ling looked at it, the more strange it seemed.

Lu Jingxing took out his cell phone. The street lighting was not very bright on this street, so he shone the cell phone light under the ear, and could clearly see the blood vessels next to the little guy's ear.

"It's not natural, it's artificial, just to make people think it's cute..." Lu Jingxing said after looking at it.

"Ah, it was done artificially? Cut the pointed ears into round ears?" Ji Ling asked with some disbelief. However, she didn't believe the person who did this, not questioning what Lu Jingxing said.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, recently I heard that someone specially cut the cat's ears into round ears, calling them Mickey ears, saying that they are cuter this way..."

"Oh my God, how can they be so cruel? It must be painful. The blood vessels in the ears are the most fragile. How can these people be so cruel..." Ji Ling couldn't help but cry out.

"Moreover, doing so will have a great impact on cats. Ears are very important organs for cats. After their ears are cropped, they will not only be unable to distinguish directions, but their hearing will also decline. Their ears cannot be folded, and if they wander around, dust and rain will pass through freely. The risk of ear canal diseases will also be greatly increased. I don't know what these people are thinking..." Lu Jingxing listed a lot of consequences of ear cropping in one breath.

"At first I thought it was pretty. In fact, think about it, it would look better if it had normal ears. Why are these people's aesthetic tastes so distorted that they deliberately cut their ears? Damn it..." The more Ji Ling thought about it, the angrier she became.

"This will be a risky situation. They may take the risk of not being accepted by others, but as long as people like it, the price will definitely be much more expensive than ordinary ones. Anyway, it's just crazy..." Lu Jingxing also felt a little angry.

"If its owner comes, you must have a good talk with him. If he asks to buy a round-eared one, you must scold him to wake him up..." Ji Ling pressed his face against the little guy in his arms with distress. No wonder the little guy doesn't look so smart, it turns out it's because of the cropped ears.

The two walked and talked, and soon returned home.

"Mimi, we're home..." Ji Ling scratched the little guy.

"Meow..." The little guy stretched and looked at the unfamiliar environment with wide eyes.

Ji Ling put it down directly: "Although I don't like the act of cutting its ears, this is indeed its characteristic. Let's call it Little Round Ears, which will make it easier to identify."

"Well, okay..." Lu Jingxing had no objection.

There were no other pets at home. They originally had a little rabbit. Since Lu Chen and Lu Xi went to live with his aunt, Lu Jingxing released the little wild rabbit back into the forest.

Furthermore, Lu Jingxing is in the store every day, so his home can be said to be almost like a hotel. He is also afraid that if he keeps a cat at home, the little guy will become depressed after a long time, after all, there is no one to accompany him.

So, this actually helps Xiao Yuan'er, as he doesn't have to be locked up anymore.

After it got off the ground, it stopped circling around Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling and ran around to look around.

"It's very lively, jumping up and down like a monkey..." Ji Ling said with a smile.

"Go take a shower first, I'll check it out..." Lu Jingxing took out a can.

When the little guy saw the can, he immediately trotted over, meowing and spinning around in a hurry.

"He must be very hungry. Besides, he must often eat canned food at home. Seeing the canned food is like seeing his own mother..." Ji Ling laughed when she saw the little guy's anxious look.

"I'll take a video of it first, and then post it directly to the platform to see who nearby threw it. It should be from nearby. It's so small, it wouldn't have come from far away." Lu Jingxing put the can on the ground, and the little guy immediately started eating it with a grunt.

At the end of eating, it kept circling the can, unable to eat what was inside, and cried out in anxiety.

Lu Jingxing found a spoon and scooped out the last bit.

"Okay, let's just take this box for now. This box is not too small. If I eat too much, I'll get indigestion..." He muttered to himself as he picked the food.

When Ji Ling came out of the shower, she saw Lu Jingxing sitting on the carpet, holding Xiao Yuan'er in his hands and flipping him over and over.

"How is it? Is there anything else wrong?" Ji Ling had a towel wrapped around his head. He had just washed his hair and hadn't had time to blow dry it.

"No, there are no other problems with it. It looks quite healthy. I've posted the video. Let's see if anyone comes to pick it up tomorrow." After he said that, he put the little guy on the ground.

After they washed up, they packed up their things together and went back to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Ji Ling was still half asleep when she heard a snoring sound beside her ear. She opened her eyes dazedly and saw a furry little creature sleeping soundly on the pillow.

She smiled and reached out to touch it: "Good morning, little round ear, how come you came into my room and got on the bed..."

However, it is not surprising. Lu Jingxing opened holes on the doors of every room, and when he used to bring them back with him, they would run into the room in the middle of the night.

The main problem is that if the hole is not dug, they will howl outside in the middle of the night. Finally, Lu Jingxing came up with this idea.

The little guy woke up when he heard the sound, meowed twice, and crawled towards Ji Ling and started to act coquettishly.

"Wow, so cute, why are you so cute?" Ji Ling couldn't let it go.

It can go to the toilet by itself, its body is clean, and it is so clingy. Ji Ling thought about it from its perspective. It must be very anxious if it lost its owner. It has been a night, and no one knows if anyone has seen the video of Brother Lu last night, and whether its owner will come to look for it.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she got up immediately, picked up the little guy and walked out of the room.

"Good morning..." Hearing the sound, Lu Jingxing's voice came from the kitchen.
