"The baby is not afraid, not afraid! Didn't mom tell you not to touch those cats and dogs? They are so dirty, with not only parasites but also bacteria! Hey, I don't know what your aunt is thinking. I don't know what's happening at home. Do you have any children? Bring home whatever is dirty and smelly!"
Tao Le didn't want to quarrel with Li Qing, but was more afraid of Xi Mu being angry, so he ran over to pick him up, checked his tail carefully, and was relieved when he saw that it was fine.
Strangely enough, if Tao Le was doing the same thing of touching the tail, Ximu had no objection at all. He shrank his head into her arms, impatient to listen to the voices of the mother and her cubs.
Li Qing babbled, and then carefully checked her son's body for a long time, and found that there was indeed no wound at all, and then she felt relieved.
She glared at Ximu fiercely a few more times, probably because he was so big and ferocious, and because Tao Le was protecting him, she didn't dare to make a move.
She picked up Tao Qizhan and scolded him: "You only touched the cat with your hands, so you have to wash them properly!" Then she went to the bathroom with indignant steps.
Several reproachful eyes, after scanning Ximu, stopped on Tao Le's face.
Tao Le had no choice but to explain: "My cat Bao is not to blame for this. It was Xiaozhan who pulled his tail first. He was already very restrained and didn't even stretch out his claws."
Tao's mother, Ren Hong, leaned against the door of the kitchen and said coldly: "It's a good thing that it didn't stretch out its claws. What if it moved? You can't keep a cat that hurts someone, and you have to give Xiaozhan a tetanus shot. It's funny." It’s your fault, why would you raise a cat if you have nothing to do? Without it, there would be no such thing. "
"Mom, don't talk about Lele. I think her cat is ugly, but she has a pretty good temper. At least she knows not to wave her claws at people."
Tao Zhi suddenly felt that this cat had a special smell after looking at it for a long time, and for some reason, he always felt that it could understand human speech. This was so strange.
"Okay, put the cat down quickly, wash your hands and help me pick vegetables."
Tao Le was eager to get rid of the deadly series of questions from Dad Tao, so he responded readily, comforted the very reluctant Ximu, and then went into the kitchen to pick vegetables.
Tao Le has not been back for more than a month since he was preparing for the professional training exam. There has been a lot of talk between mother and daughter.
Ren Hong didn't ask any questions about her boyfriend - she knew her daughter better than Tao's father in this regard - she just asked her what she usually ate, whether her craftsmanship had improved, and whether she slept well.
Tao Le answered them one by one, asked about his parents' health, and let Ren Hong talk about Xiao Zhan's daily life. Both of them deliberately avoided the topic of cats, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious and harmonious.
After a while, Li Qing opened the door and came in. There was still anger on her face. She ignored Tao Le and took some garlic and peeled it aside.
Seeing her like this, Ren Hong said, "The kitchen is small and Lele is there, so go and accompany Xiaozhan."
"Xiao Zhan was tired from crying and fell asleep." Li Qing kept moving her hands and said, "Mom, the hole in the screen window of the north room is a little bigger. It won't work if we don't repair it."
Tao Le was stunned and even stopped picking vegetables. In her parents' house, the small bedroom on the north side belongs to her. When did my sister-in-law care so much about her house?
When Ren Hong heard this, she quickly said: "Tell Tao Zhi to find someone to fix it quickly. What should I do if a mosquito bites me?" She washed her hands and went out to call Tao Zhi.
Li Qing came up to Tao Le and said, "Lele, it's hot these days and your room is cool. Mom will let me take Xiao Zhan to live in your room. Do you mind?"
Tao Le also didn't expect that her house had already been occupied. Although I am usually away from home, it is indeed a bit crowded for the three brothers and sister-in-law to sleep in one room, but I still mind it a little bit. Maybe it's because she's still not bold enough?
"I've already lived here, so it's useless for me to mind." Tao Le said lightly.
"So, are you going to stay at home tonight?" Li Qing hesitated for a while and asked again. It seemed that this was her real concern.
Tao Le's mind raced and he understood the deeper thoughts behind Li Qing's question. She had intended to go back, so she followed her lead and said, "I'd better go back to the city tonight."
Li Qing took a long breath: "That's good, that's good."
"What's good?" Ren Hong opened the door and came in. She happened to hear Li Qing's last words and asked casually.
What she asked was what Tao Le wanted to know. Even if she stayed overnight, she would still go back tomorrow. She couldn't understand why Li Qing was so reluctant.
"Lele said that she is going back to the city at night. I want the cat to not stay at home overnight. Otherwise, if she sleeps all night, there will be hair and bacteria everywhere. Don't all the beddings at home have to be changed?"
Tao Le choked in mid-air. Why is it that while we are talking, we are talking about the ugly cat again? Is it so difficult to get people who have never owned cats to accept small animals?
Do you know how serious the consequences will be if you offend this prince? Thinking about it this way, it's better to go back, otherwise I really don't know how they will continue to commit suicide.
After listening to Li Qing's words, Tao's mother actually considered her proposal: "Lele, have an early dinner later, and then you can take the cat back to avoid it being too late."
"Mom?" Tao Le was very depressed. Is this really her mother? After not seeing my daughter for so long, shouldn't I interrupt my sister-in-law's rude request and try my best to save her?
"What are you doing!" Tao Zhi's shouts rang out in the hall, followed by rapid footsteps, arrogant cat meows, and Dad Tao's exclamations.
What happened? Tao Le and the other three couldn't stay in the kitchen any longer, so they hurried out and rushed to the scene of the incident, where they were collectively shocked.
After Tao Zhi's restoration, the process of things is as follows:
Two or three o'clock is the hottest time in the afternoon. The man who was repairing the screen window probably went to take a nap, so Tao Zhi went downstairs and took a look around the shop. He still found nothing, so he had to come back sweating profusely.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the huge ugly cat, with its ears straight up and its waist hunched up, ready to go. Before he could react, the cat rushed into the north room like an arrow.
Xiao Zhan is sleeping in the north room. What is the ugly cat going to do when he goes in? Tao Zhi didn't have time to think too much, and shouted: "What are you doing!" while striding into the north room.
What he saw in front of him shocked and scared him.
I saw the ugly cat sitting on the bed, with its hair standing out and all its sharp claws stretched out, pressing something firmly!
What's under its claws is not Xiao Zhan's body, but an ugly and ferocious animal - a snake!
This snake is half a meter long. Its light brown back is covered with purple cloud-like markings, and its terrifying triangular head is still twisting.
"This is a mountain iron-headed snake!" Tao's father also came in at this time and recognized it at a glance.
The mountain iron-headed snake, also known as the mangosteen leaf green, is a stout venomous snake that is much more venomous than the common short-tailed snake.
Once bitten, the wound will quickly fester. If not rescued in time, it may result in amputation or even death.
