Chapter 65 I Found the Old Cat

As soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Kang, who was still sighing with his head down, suddenly jumped up and went straight to Chun Zhi.

"How do you know what that cat looks like? Have you ever seen it? Where did you see it?" He asked repeatedly.

"It's just outside the exam room! When you took the first exam." Chun Zhi whispered.

"The first scene?" Mr. Kang's voice rose sharply, "So early? Why did it appear there? How did you meet it?"

Chun Zhi couldn't help frowning, a little hesitant.

Mr. Kang was even more anxious. "Tell me, what's going on?"

Only then did Chun Zhi describe the situation at that time.

After Mr. Kang finished listening, he swayed and took a few steps back. "Is that so? How could..."

"At that time, I only thought it was hungry. When I saw the boys over there eating, I wanted to steal some food when I smelled it. But now it seems that I was wrong." Chun Zhi said softly.

"What do you mean by that?" Mr. Kang stared at her intently.

Haruka looked up at him. "Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course!" Mr. Kang nodded firmly.

"Okay then!" Chun Zhi let out a long breath, "That cat must have smelled the familiar smell from you and your servant, so it thought of approaching him so that he could recognize it and take it home Go. It's a pity that he didn't recognize it, and..."

He also kicked the old cat around like a toy, and almost tortured the cat to death!
That hurts enough.Mr. Kang understood the reason, and he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand still.

His little servant—that is, the person who kicked the cat at that time—knelt down on his knees with a plop, his legs gave way in fright.

"My lord, I was wrong! I... I was so blind that I didn't recognize the old lady's cat. I only thought it was a wild cat without an owner, so I...please give me to the old lady, my lord! I did something wrong, and I will receive the punishment myself!"

The other sons who were with Mr. Kang also came over.After hearing what Chun Zhi said, they all looked surprised.

Some of their servants also kicked the cat, and they were all trembling with fright.

Mr. Kang's face became ugly.

It was only then that Chun Zhi finally understood—it turned out that the gray old cat was the heart of the old lady of the Kang family.Then it's no wonder that the cat is lost, and the whole Kang family will be in such a hurry.Now Mr. Kang's master and servant know that the cat also wanted to go home, but the way home was blocked by the two of them!

If the Kang family knew about this, they would lose their skin even if they were not dead!

A son thought about it, and he quickly asked Chun Zhi: "I heard from Shi Mo that they did something wrong at that time, but you took the cat to comfort him for a long time. It seems that you really have a hand with the cat. Since So, now you can still help find the cat? As long as you can find it, we will give you whatever you want!"

When Mr. Kang heard this, he also nodded quickly. "That's right! You can ask for anything, as long as you can find a cat!"

As long as he can find the cat, he will be able to pay off the crime, and at least he will receive a lighter punishment.

Chun Zhi looked back at Chai Dong, and asked him with his eyes—is it okay?

Chai Dong nodded. "Follow your heart!"

Of course her intention was to find the cat.The old cat has never been found, and that was her heart disease.Now there is finally a chance for her to try again, how could she miss it?

Haruhi nodded immediately. "I can try. However, you have to find a way to get me something with the smell of the cat. Now the cat doesn't know where it is, so it can only tell the direction by the smell."

"No problem! That's easy to talk about!" Hearing that she really has a solution, Mr. Kang nodded hurriedly, and immediately agreed to the request.

He also kept his word, and hurriedly told the boy to go back to the house to get the things.In order to atone for his sin, the boy also raised his feet and ran fast.

Mr. Kang and the others all looked at Chun Zhi differently.

"Mr. Chai, Mrs. Chai, you two, please come with me to the teahouse next door! Now the sun is getting bigger and bigger, and it is hot even standing under it." Mr. Kang extended an invitation to them earnestly.

Chai Dong nodded, and the couple followed them to the very elegant teahouse next to the county government office.

Chunzhi has been in the county for almost a month, and at most she just found a simple foot shop to rest her feet once, and the expenses in the foot shop made her feel distressed for a long time.As for such a high-end teahouse, she certainly didn't dare to take a second look, it was not a place that a poor person like her could afford.

But Mr. Kang and his group seem to be regular visitors here.As soon as a few people entered the teahouse, the waiter warmly greeted them and took them to the private room on the second floor.Mr. Kang ordered a pot of tea and some snacks with his familiarity.

Chun Zhi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly found that the tea was even more fragrant and sweet than the tea she drank in the backyard of the Zhuang Mansion in the town last year.Not to mention the dim sum, which is soft and delicious. I don’t know what seasonings are added in it. It is delicious and made into the shape of flower petals, which is beautiful and delicious.She couldn't help but ate several pieces.

While drinking tea, Mr. Kang and the others took the initiative to chat with Chai Dong.Originally, they were both candidates of this year, so they should have a lot to talk about.But Chai Dong always ignored them, and when asked anything, he just dismissed them with one or two concise sentences. The more these people talked, the more boring they became, and the atmosphere of the scene once again became awkward.

Fortunately, there was not too much meeting, and the boy who went back to fetch things came back.He held a mat with both hands and brought it to Chun Zhi: "This is the mat where the old lady's cat slept, and it should smell like a cat."

Chun Zhi took it over and smelled it, and she was sure. "It's that one."

Mr. Kang's eyes suddenly started to sparkle. "So, can you find it with the help of this mat?"

"Try it! If the cat is within ten feet of me, I can definitely smell it." Chun Zhi nodded.

Mr. Kang nodded immediately. "Then try it! How are you going to find it now? Do you want me to give you my car?"

"No need, just find me a donkey." Chun Zhi said.

"This is easy!" Mr. Kang hurriedly asked the boy to find the donkey.

After a while, the donkey came. There were two of them in total. Chun Zhi and Chai Dong each rode on the back of the donkey, and then called the young man to climb up and sit beside him, then nodded to Chai Dong: "Master, let's go!"

When Mr. Kang and the others saw this, they wanted to follow, but Chun Zhi shook his head. "Stay away from me."

Mr. Kang and his party don't know why.

Harue had no choice but to explain. "The last time the cat took the initiative to look for you, but they were bullied by them as a plaything. Cats are very temperamental, and their noses and ears are sensitive. If it smells them, I'm afraid it will not be able to find it even if I find it. will run away quickly."

Mr. Kang and the others immediately turned their heads and glared fiercely at the servant beside him.Once the servants changed from their haughty appearance in front of Chun Zhi, they almost dropped their heads to their chests.

Now, they all obediently stood four or five feet away from Chun Zhi, and only followed her forward from a distance.

Chunzhi held the mat and decided to start from the examination room.

The gray cat is old and doesn't like to move, so it can't go very far.

However, although this is the reason, the examination room is located in the center of the county, which is originally for the convenience of candidates.There are people coming and going in the examination room these days, and the breath of all kinds of people has already covered up the breath left by the cat, which is why it is difficult for Chun Zhi to find it in those days.

Now leaning on the mat in his hand, Chun Zhi first searched around the examination room carefully, at least to ascertain that there was a bit of the smell of an old cat in the southeast direction.She then searched along the southeast, slowly groping forward.

After groping all the way until the afternoon, after two or three hours in the middle, she finally noticed the smell of a fresh old cat in a small alley three miles away from the examination room.

Chun Zhi hurriedly got off the donkey and handed the reins to Chai Dong. She walked forward slowly following the scent, and finally found a firewood pile.

"Meow, meow!" Chun Zhi tentatively called to the firewood pile.

After barking several times, I heard the old cat's weak cry from under the firewood pile.

"found it!"

The moment he heard the voice, Harue almost jumped up for joy!

She hurriedly let out a low cry, and squatted down, and sure enough, she found the trace of the old cat in a gap under the pile of firewood.

After not seeing him for so many days, the old cat became weaker.Even when it saw Chun Zhi approaching him proactively, it didn't even move, it just lay there lazily, without even raising its eyelids.

Seeing this scene, Chunzhi felt her heart twitch.

She carefully stretched out her hand and hugged the old cat out of the gap.The old cat also took advantage of the situation and leaned against her arms, and let out a few weak calls.

Mr. Kang and the others heard her say that she found it from a distance, and they hurried over.When he came to the front, when he saw the old cat in Chunzhi's arms, Mr. Kang was so happy that he quickly stretched out his hand. "I really found it! Give me the cat!"

Chun Zhi shook his head. "Let me hold it! How far is your home? Let's send it back quickly, this cat...it's dying soon."
