Ye Yun and Qin Zheng were walking near the garment factory at night. The snow seemed to reflect light under the moonlight, illuminating the surrounding area.
There are stalls on the roadside, packing things to put on the pedal tricycle.
In winter, the temperature is low and the business is not good. When it seems that it is not popular anymore, you usually pack your things and go home. It is better to fill your stomach at home and warm yourself by the fire with your family.
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng also walked back. It was too late. There would be large wild animals coming out to look for food in the nearby mountains.
Haven't been a few steps yet.
When passing by the smelly ditch, I saw a man riding a big pole and throwing a cloth bag into the ditch with a bang.
The cloth bag broke through the thin ice that had just formed on the ditch surface.
A panicked kitten meowed -
Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, and looked at each other with Qin Zheng, both seeing incredible things in the other's eyes.
The man riding the Erba Dagang heard the cry and ran away as if he was afraid of being entangled, throwing away the hot potato in his hand and pedaling the Erba Dagang for his life.
Qin Zheng ran over immediately.
He lay down beside the smelly ditch and picked up the dark cloth bag with his long arm.
The cloth bag was dripping water sparsely, Qin Zheng hurriedly untied the rope, and inside was a litter of kittens that were soaked with stinky water.
The kitten looked thin and small. Not long after it opened its eyes, it was covered in water.
The feeling of being soaked in ice water frightened the kittens. The small ones huddled together tremblingly and arched around, eager to find warmth.
"this……"
Ye Yun was speechless and untied the scarf around her neck to wipe the kitten clean.
Qin Zheng took off his hat one step ahead of her, blocking her movement, and whispered to her to wrap the scarf around. Then he took off the hat on his head, put a few wet kittens into the warm hat, and quickly put them into his arms.
Holding Ye Yun's hand and walking to the garment factory, he said warmly: "Hurry back and warm yourself by the fire. Only a few of them will survive."
Ye Yun nodded.
Feeling uncomfortable, she turned her head and looked in the direction where the man riding the Erba Gang left.
There was no trace of the man in the dark night, leaving only a wheel mark that was gradually moving away. I wonder if the man would feel a little guilty because of this because of the slippery road in the dark.
Back to the garment factory.
As soon as he entered the house, Qin Zheng quickly took out a few kittens from his arms and put them by the stove to keep warm.
The kittens had already been soaked in stinky water, and their bodies were still stained with stinking water and sticky mud. Ye Yun simply asked Qin Zheng to mix warm water with it and carefully wash them.
Logically speaking, kittens should not be washed, lest they catch cold and die soon.
But is there anything worse now?
Washing them with warm water is the most beneficial and fastest way.
Of course, during the process of cleaning the kitten, Ye Yun carefully avoided the navel, a part that is more susceptible to cold, and only used warm water with her hands to wash away the mud stain.
When she was done, she dried them with a towel and placed them on the stove to dry the fluff.
There are five kittens in total.
The colors are messy, including two civet flowers, two three-flowered flowers, and even a small orange.
The four of them were in good condition. When Ye Yun and Qin Zheng bathed them, they would scream and twist their bodies to show resistance.
The remaining little orange is sickly, with a lot of air coming out and little air entering, and its head is drooping.
Qin Zheng took it and shook it head down a few times to remove the dirty water that had choked the lungs. He placed it next to the stove mouth, gently pressed its heart, and then held its mouth and blew into its mouth. Take a breath.
Xiao Ju's belly could be vaguely seen rising and falling slightly, but there was still not much movement.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng repeated the actions of pressing the heart and breathing out a few more times, and finally the little orange cat let out a weak cry.
"effective."
The moment the kitten's weak squeak appeared, Ye Yun's eyes lit up slightly.
Qin Zheng saw the radiant light in her eyes, and his mood improved a lot, "We have done what we can do. Whether we can survive tonight depends on its fate."
Ye Yun nodded, "Yeah."
The two of them had already prepared the cardboard box, which was lined with soft cotton wool, and placed it next to the stove to keep it warm.
Qin Zheng put the sick Xiao Ju into the nest and placed it with several other kittens.
Xiao Ju didn't have the strength to move, but the other kittens arched their bodies and enclosed it into a small, warm group.
The fluff on their bodies has been dried by Ye Yun at the stove and is now fluffy.
The five little guys are entangled together, and the picture is a bit warm, making people feel that the time has passed peacefully.
only.
No one can laugh when they think of what happened to them.
"Not many people in the city are interested in this thing. We like to raise it to catch mice in the mountains. There are not so many mice to catch in the city, so not many people keep this thing. Some people think that this kind of thing is greedy and they like to eat it secretly. Yeah, it’s hard to avoid being disgusted with it.”
Seeing that she was unhappy, Qin Zheng gently hugged her shoulders and comforted her in a low voice:
"Don't worry, cats have nine lives. These things are really tough. It's impossible to kill them all at once."
When Ye Yun heard what he said, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I know."
"Then you're still not happy?"
"Which of your eyes saw that I was unhappy?" Ye Yun raised her eyebrows slightly, teasing him.
Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh, hugging her to wash her hands, his voice was helpless and doting: "Okay, okay, you're not angry, it's all because of my overthinking."
"Come on, I'll wash your feet after washing my hands, and then we'll go to bed."
…
The next day, Ye Yun woke up, rubbed her eyes and went to see the little kitten by the stove.
I happened to see Qin Zheng breastfeeding them.
Qin Zheng got a small bowl of milk from somewhere and put it on the stove to warm. Several kittens in the nest were howling with hunger. The one in Qin Zheng's hand was slurping the milk from the spoon. , not to mention how delicious the food is.
Ye Yun couldn't help but be surprised, put on her cotton-padded jacket and walked over.
"Where did you get the milk?"
"Someone in our factory has a sheep. They just gave birth to a lamb recently, so I went over for a run."
When Qin Zheng saw that she was awake, he raised his head and smiled at Ye Yun, "Daughter-in-law, I'll give you the big bowl, and I'll serve the kittens in advance."
Ye Yun then discovered that there was an iron lunch box next to the small bowl. The lunch box contained most of the goat's milk.
"Daughter-in-law, come and see me."
At this time, Qin Zheng looked towards the nest again, grinned and said: "The sick kitten yesterday can crawl by itself today."
oh?
Ye Yun glanced into the nest.
The fluff around the mouth of the sickly little Orange was moist, and he had obviously eaten goat's milk. He curled up his little body and stayed quietly in the box, with his eyelids drooped, as if he was half asleep.
Ye Yun curled her lips and said, "You're lying, you still look sick."
Hearing this, Qin Zheng glanced into the box and said, "I crawled twice just now. I kid you not. I'm probably full and want to sleep."
Fine.
Ye Yun reached out and put Xiao Ju into her arms, gently stroking its little head.
The little milk cat that had just opened its eyes was too thin, like a miniature monkey. It shrank in the palm of her hand and could not catch up with one of her fists.
Although Xiaoju is still very sick, her situation has improved a lot compared to yesterday.
Ye Yun put it on her belly and warmed it with her hands. After a while, she closed her eyes completely and fell asleep without any movement.
Qin Zheng fed them one by one and then clapped his hands.
"knock off."
He went to wash his hands and when he wiped them with a towel, he told Ye Yun: "Daughter-in-law, I have to go to the company later. I may not be back at noon. I will put the goat milk on the stove to warm it. If I can't come back at noon, Come, you feed them."
Ye Yun nodded, "Okay."
Qin Zheng put on his coat, lowered his head and kissed her on the face, then took Wanzi's car keys and left the house.
Ye Yun was still holding the kitten in her arms, so she didn't follow him out to see him off. She watched from the window as he left the garment factory on his horse.
noon.
Qin Zheng didn't come back.
Gu Yingying is here.
