This was repeated over and over until the tabby cat licked enough vegetable oil and meowed, and the mouse stopped sticking its tail into the oil pot. It jumped to the jar containing rice, and saw the tabby cat repaying the kindness by walking over, then climbed to the jar, stretched its neck to the edge of the jar and pushed it upward, and the lid of the jar flipped over. So, the mouse immediately jumped into the jar and ate the rice.
Liu Mei was so anxious, funny and hateful. Thinking about it, these beasts were quite "fair". They used their strengths to avoid their weaknesses. The tabby cat's mouth was too big to reach into the mouth of the small oil pot, so she let the mouse use its slender tail to help dip the oil in the mouth. It enjoys it; and since the mouse is weak, the tabby cat does it for him by opening the cumbersome lid, allowing the mouse to jump into the rice jar and eat the rice. Liu Mei thought to herself: We must get rid of the mice first, and then deal with the tabby cats.
At this moment, Liu Mei tiptoed back from the window to the door. Through the crack of the door, she saw the tabby cat squatting on the wooden cover next to the rice altar, curling its scarlet tongue to lick the beard that had some oil stars stuck to its mouth. , looking relaxed and contented. Liu Mei deliberately knocked on the door, and saw the tabby cat trembling. He immediately stepped off the wooden cover, got under a dining table, and meowed, perhaps handing over a message. The mouse in the rice jar jumped out and headed towards the door. The corner slipped away.
Liu Mei opened the door with the key and acted as if nothing had happened. She neither yelled at the crouching cat pretending to be nor looked at the rice jar with the lid open. Instead, she picked up a broom and swept the floor until it was oily. At the pot, he suddenly asked where the lid of the oil pot was. The tabby cat looked at Liu Mei, then walked out from under the dining table, stood on the west side of the jar, and meowed. Liu Mei heard the sound and looked over. The lid of the oil can was next to the cat's feet. Liu Mei walked over and picked up the lid without showing any emotion. She also picked up the cat and stroked it. She said in an approving tone: "You're so good. If you hadn't helped me look for it, I wouldn't have found it."
Meow - the tabby cat meows knowingly. Liu Mei put it down and continued to sweep the floor. While sweeping, she thought, how to catch the tabby cat alive and conspire with the mouse to steal the rice? When she touched the wooden lid of the rice jar by sweeping it with a broom, she screamed again. Why did the wooden lid of the rice jar also fall to the ground? This was obviously a question to the cat, she wanted to see the cat's reaction.
The tabby cat got under the dining table again and listened to its owner's question. It acted as if it hadn't heard and curled up to sleep. Liu Mei picked up the wooden cover and wiped it, then glanced at the tabby cat and found that it was squinting its glass ball-like pupils, as if observing something. Liu Mei ignored it and suddenly came up with an idea. She put the wooden lid on the rice jar and went out again.
This time, she closed the door, rattled the knocker a few times, and then left.
About a quarter of an hour later, the little mouse crawled out from the corner again and chirped to attract the cat's attention. The tabby cat was too lazy to pay attention to it, and still closed its eyes, unwilling to even open them. The little mouse ran to the rice jar again, but the rice jar was covered with a heavy wooden lid that could not be pried open. It asked the tabby cat for help, but when it ran under the dining table and licked the tabby cat's tail with its mouth, the tabby cat remained still. , he just raised his head and "popped" at it with a fierce look of bared teeth, and stared at the door with his eyes.
Seeing this attitude, the little mouse became a little dissatisfied. Then he saw the tabby cat meowing toward the door, and he understood what the tabby cat meant. The tabby cat seemed to be telling it: Don't be in a hurry to eat the rice in the jar. The owner came back just now and is still outside the door. He might come back soon. If he catches you, he will even lose his life! The little mouse circled around the rice jar again, and then slipped towards the wall knowingly.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened, and Liu Mei walked in. It turned out that she had been peeping by the window, preparing to let the tabby cat open the lid of the rice jar. When the little mouse jumped in to eat the rice, she unexpectedly pushed open the door. He opened the door, immediately sealed the opening of the rice jar, and then caught the little mouse inside. But now that the plan was aborted, she was still careful. When she went out, she didn't lock the door at all to avoid opening the door and delaying time.
Unexpectedly, the tabby cat was afraid of its owner coming back, so it had an extra mindedness. When the owner plotted against them, it stopped quietly, which not only kept its own safety, but also kept the safety of the little mouse. Although it was temporary, it showed that the tabby cat's cunning. She didn't want to alert the snake, her purpose was to catch the little mouse first and then deal with the tabby cat.
The next day, Liu Mei went out to work as usual. She deliberately left the door unlocked and just closed the two door leaves. In order not to arouse the suspicion of Hua Mao, she also took out the key and used it on the lock. After a few clicks, a metallic sound was made, allowing the tabby cat to hear it, and then walked away. She asked Wang Meng to go to work and went to her mother-in-law's house to wait for half an hour, always thinking about how to catch thieves and take away stolen goods to deal with the harmful rats and tabby cats.
Now that she was ready to take action, Liu Mei walked out of her mother-in-law's house with very light steps. As she approached her front door, she suddenly found the tabby cat squatting on the edge of the window peeking out. When he saw her, he jumped out of the window. She immediately approached the door of her house, pushed open the door leaf, and saw that the lid of the oil can was opened again, and the lid of the rice jar was opened again. What made her even more frustrated was that as soon as she stepped across the threshold, a fish jumped out of the rice jar. The little mouse slipped away, and she saw clearly that it was a gray-haired mouse.
At this moment, the tabby cat was still squatting under the table and meowing at her. She deeply hated the tabby cat for pretending not to know anything to coax her, so she suddenly bent over and reached out to catch the tabby cat. The tabby cat trembled alertly, and was about to run away, but Liu Mei grabbed the tail before she could get rid of it. The tabby cat turned around, grinned and screamed "bluff", spitting out stars, as if it was fighting to the death. It wrinkled its beard and bared its teeth. Liu Mei Afraid of being bitten, I let the tabby cat go. It slipped out the door like a fugitive and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The tabby cat escaped for a while and hid in a forest. It considered that its owner had discovered the bad things it had done with the mole, and also saw the owner's intentions. It planned to catch the mole first and then deal with it. what to do? As a house cat, I don’t want to give up that home. Suddenly, a mouse crawled among the grass in front, perhaps looking for food.
This mouse was twice as big and fatter than the mouse that conspired with it to steal oil and rice. The tabby cat came up with a plan to catch the mouse, bite it and offer it to its owner, so that the owner would mistakenly think that it had caught the mouse that jumped into the jar to steal the rice, and maybe the owner would celebrate it.
It had a beautiful idea, so it planned to sneak attack on the mouse. It was about a few meters away from the grass. It couldn't pounce immediately. If it made any noise, it would scare the mountain rats away and the plan would be ruined.
The tabby cat slowly approached the grass. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew on the ground, making a pattering sound. This drowned out its weak footsteps, and it speeded up its pace, extremely agile, so that the mouse would not notice it.
But it found that the mouse was chewing a fruit core, its fluffy little head was still shaking, and its two small black rice-like eyes seemed to be indifferent, and it was indulging in a gluttonous enjoyment.
