Last Totem Novel - Chapter 133
Chapter 133 Cat Hunt
Tie Zha grinned and praised Bai Xiaoyun for his good work. Bai Xiaoyun was out of breath as he said that he was Brother Tie’s orderly. Even the Bottomless Abyss followed him, let alone such a trivial matter. Tie Zha was very happy to hear this. He patted Bai Xiaoyun’s shoulder and said that he was hungry. He wanted to eat dinner. He asked the orderly to help him get some food. The two big white chickens would not be cooked until midnight.
Bai Xiaoyun immediately rolled his eyes. This black-hearted boss didn’t even let him catch his breath, so he asked him to do something else. However, he didn’t dare to say anything and went to buy dinner. Branching away Bai Xiaoyun, Tie Zha immediately found a secluded corner and placed the two big white chickens on the ground. Then, he spat a few mouthfuls of saliva into the chickens’ stomachs.
About ten minutes later, with two ear-piercing bug cries, two large crimson ants with their teeth and claws danced out. With a thought, Tie Zha’s two big ants immediately rushed forward and slipped into the gap in the canal.
The canal was pitch black, but this did not affect the movements of the ants. When there is light, they rely on hexagonal compound vision. In the absence of light, they rely on a pair of antennae to sense the odor and analyze the exact location of the object.
The two big ants searched one after the other and soon found a rotting kitten corpse. Tie Zha thought to himself, and one of the big ants stepped forward to bite the kitten’s corpse and dragged it along the canal. Seconds later, the kitten’s corpse was dragged out of the ground.
After doing all of this, Tie Zha commanded the two ants to dive into the canal, find a corner to curl up, and then cut off their lifelines.
Not long after, Bai Xiaoyun rushed back with two lunch boxes in his hands. As soon as they met, Tie Zha pointed at the kitten corpse on the ground and said that he had found it. Bai Xiaoyun turned his head to look at the ground, and his mouth opened wide in shock. He almost couldn’t even hold the lunch box steadily.
“Brother Tie, how did you find it?” Bai Xiaoyun looked at the iron slag and the kitten’s corpse with an expression of disbelief. Tie Zha said that after Bai Xiaoyun left, he walked along the canal lid and inadvertently smelled a rotten smell. He lifted the cement slab beneath his feet and found the cat corpse.
Bai Xiaoyun suddenly nodded his head in realization. His gaze towards Tie Zha was filled with reverence. He sighed and said, “Brother Tie is so powerful. His nose is even smarter than a hound’s.”
“Do you know how to chat?” Tie Zha frowned and asked unhappily. To think that Bai Xiaoyun would compare a hound to him, he was simply looking for a whip.
Sensing his mistake, Bai Xiaoyun quickly corrected himself, “I mean, Brother Tie’s sense of smell is even more sensitive than a hound’s.”
Tie Zha’s face darkened. Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyun panicked and said at a loss, “Brother Tie’s sense of smell is even stronger than ten hounds!”
“Stop talking nonsense. Quickly go check it out!” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice.
Bai Xiaoyun nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Then, he found a clean place to put down the lunch box, squatted in front of the kitten’s corpse, and observed it carefully. During this time, he took out his notebook and repeatedly checked the details. Although this kitten’s corpse was a little rotten, it was basically the same as the old woman’s description. An ordinary cat, nine months old, with a faint yellow fur …
“It should be him, but …” Bai Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment and said, “It might not be good to hand over the task like this.”
Bai Xiaoyun said that the old woman looked pitiful. If she received this bad news, she would definitely be very sad. Tie Zha waved his hand and said that the task was to find the kitten, regardless of life or death. Bai Xiaoyun’s eyes were a little red. She said that the old woman was already very lonely. Now that the kitten was dead, perhaps she would remember the child she had lost during the expedition. No matter what, they could not hand over a corpse to return, making the old woman who was in her twilight years feel heartbroken again.
Tie Zha spread out his hands and shrugged. He said that a person could not be resurrected if he died. What else could he do? Could it be that he could resurrect the kitten? Bai Xiaoyun said that as long as Zhang Tie agreed not to hand over the mission from this corpse, he would have a way to solve it. Bai Xiaoyun smiled and said that he had no intention of looking for the kitten. The purpose of wandering around here was to pretend to be the old woman’s neighbors, so that they wouldn’t judge her in the future. Actually, he had already planned to find a similar stray cat in the alley of Central Street at night to replace it. Now that he had seen the kitten’s corpse, he was even more confident. This cat is an ordinary domestic cat, and its fur color is also very common. It shouldn’t be difficult to find an identical cat.
Feeling that it was okay, Tie Zha agreed to Bai Xiaoyun’s plan. Bai Xiaoyun happily retrieved the lunch box and let the iron residue eat first. Then, he said that he wanted to bury the kitten’s corpse. Next, Tie Zha squatted to the side and ate his lunch box. He watched as Bai Xiaoyun ran around and buried the cat’s corpse in the flower garden beside the street.
Bai Xiaoyun knelt in front of the flower bed and muttered to himself, “You must obediently go to Heaven. No … you must obediently go to hell. Uh … Underworld, you must … Xie Te! Anyway … you must find a good cat to reincarnate in your next life …”
Just as he was about to say he was leaving, he saw Bai Xiaoyun sitting by the side with the lunch box in hand and starting to eat. He had no choice but to wait patiently, while Bai Xiaoyun chewed slowly and ate slowly, causing him to be extremely irritated.
After dinner, the two of them left the school gate and arrived at Central Street. At this moment, Central Street was brightly lit and bustling with students wearing different uniforms. Some wandered around in the dazzling small shops, some sat at the entrance of the restaurant/whispered to each other, some hugged each other, and strolled along the streets …
Tie Zha followed Bai Xiaoyun into the back alley of the main street and walked around in a circle. The smell of kitchen waste floated in front of him. Raising his eyes, he saw rows of neat trash cans on both sides of the alley in the dim light. As the two of them approached the trash can, black shadows flew around and disappeared into the darkness.
Bai Xiaoyun picked up a large bag of fried fish from the dining hall and walked over gently. As he walked, he even learned to call out to cats. “Sight! Sight! Miao! Miao!” Bai Xiaoyun carried a large bag of fried fish from the dining hall and walked over gently. Tie Zha squatted to the side and watched from afar. He didn’t have any experience, so he didn’t want to do anything about it.
Not long after, under the temptation of the fishy smell, figures poked their heads out of the darkness. Bai Xiaoyun continued to emit a friendly “meow meow” sound. According to what he later said, it was the meow of a female cat. In any case, no matter what the cries were, Bai Xiaoyun was quickly surrounded by stray cats.
Next, Bai Xiaoyun picked out a pale yellow kitten among the stray cats. From the looks of it, it was about the same size as the old woman’s cat. He held her in his arms and gently stroked her before leaving the alley. Moments later, Bai Xiaoyun found a pet shop in Central Street and spent one silver coin to bathe the kitten. He cut his nails, combed his hair, tied a small bow, and sprayed some pet perfume …
After taking care of it, the dirty stray cat changed its appearance and looked much cuter. After leaving the pet shop, the two of them headed straight for the Garden Avenue of Babylon and brought the kitten to the old woman. The old woman looked at the unharmed kitten, her eyes shining with tears of excitement as she thanked Bai Xiaoyun and Tie Zha.
Tie Zha was not used to being thanked, and he also felt guilty. After all, this kitten was not the same as before. However, Bai Xiaoyun did not have any psychological burden. He teased the kitten while gossiping with the old woman.
Not long after, the two bid farewell to the old woman and returned to the War God Hall to hand in their tasks. Bai Xiaoyun said that the War God Hall was open 24 hours a day, and he could come at any time.
When they arrived at the front desk of the mission hall, the staff said that the mission client had not confirmed the completion of the mission, so they asked them to come over to complete the formalities later. While waiting, Bai Xiaoyun dragged Tie Zha to the lounge for tea. Bai Xiaoyun ordered a pot of black tea. When Tie Zha saw the price, his eyes widened.
1 gold! This pot of broken tea costs one gold coin!
“That’s right. The things here are more than ten times more expensive than outside. I usually don’t dare to rest here.” Bai Xiaoyun said as he sipped his tea.
“Why do you dare to do so today?” Tie Zha rolled his eyes and asked.
“Brother Tie is here.” “Did I say I would pay the bill?” “Didn’t you say that?” “No!” “Brother Tie is a big shot …”
Just as Tie Zha was about to say that he wouldn’t pay the bill, a commotion came from the entrance. He turned his head sharply, and in the corner of his eyes, a pale azure figure slowly walked into the hall under the crowd. He hurriedly lowered his head and picked up his cup of tea as if nothing had happened.
“Look! Bi Qinglan, people from our temple.” Bai Xiaoyun looked at the entrance and shouted.
“I don’t know. Didn’t you say that people from the Student Union wouldn’t come here?” Tie Zha asked casually.
“She’s a newbie. Come here to meet everyone and raise her popularity.” Bai Xiaoyun replied.
Tie Zha scratched his hair and said that there was no need to raise the popularity of such important figures as the Student Union. As he spoke, he thought about how he could leave the lounge without being conspicuous.
“She’s coming! Brother Tie, get up quickly.” As he spoke, Bai Xiaoyun stood up and greeted him. Tie Zha’s gaze focused on Bai Xiaoyun and put on a faint smile. He stood up and followed behind Bai Xiaoyun.
The girl in front of her was dressed in a pale green cheongsam. The golden dragon embroidered on the cheongsam was like a living creature that wrapped around her body. Under the bright lights of the lounge, the golden dragon shone brightly, dazzling and dazzling. If one looked away from the golden dragon, the tight cheongsam outlined a concave and convex line, as if one could feel the elasticity of her body. Looking up, it was a pair of bright, hydrated eyes.
“Hello, Secretary-General. I’m Bai Xiaoyun from the White Snake Temple.” Bai Xiaoyun cupped his fists and bowed.
“Don’t be so literary. Just call me Xiao Lan.” Bi Qinglan smiled at Bai Xiaoyun and said softly.
“Do you dare? We are all nobodies.” Bai Xiaoyun said humbly.
“You are Xiao Lan’s senior. Please take care of him in the future.” Bi Qinglan nodded and bowed, only to see the light in her eyes circulating as her gaze quietly moved behind Bai Xiaoyun. Tie Zha directly met her gaze, looking generous, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
“This is” As she spoke, Bi Qinglan extended her hand towards the iron slag.
“Hello, Secretary-General. I’m Zhang Tie from the War Bear Temple.” Tie Zha grinned and stepped forward to gently hold her hand.
“Hello, Zhang Tie.” Bi Qinglan nodded. Just as she was about to retract her hand, she suddenly tightened her grip and refused to let go of her hand.
“You look so good.” Tie Zha stared straight at Bi Qinglan, his gaze becoming incomparably blazing, with a look of heartfelt yearning.
