It Is Really Hard For A Cat To Want Revenge - Chapter 4
Chapter 4
“Ai yo, did that Taoist master say what kind of demon spirit it was? Hai, I think you should still quickly change to another place, don’t care what it is.” Zhou Zhi immediately wanted to set about moving his house after hearing the news.
Huo Wandu knitted his brows, a bit not quite wanting to leave. After all, he was still persisting in looking for that little black cat.
Since the other party had already appeared, it explained that the little cat’s range of activity should be right around this vicinity, so naturally he had to continue searching, or else wait for the little cat to come knocking on the door again.
Although he wasn’t certain whether the other party would still come either. After all, for people to deliver mice to the door was equivalent to finishing repaying kindness, and the two sides owed each other nothing.
Zhou Zhi spoke with bitter mouth and earnest heart, “Believing a bit in this kind of thing also has no harm, and people didn’t let you dig out money to provide offerings either, just letting you move a house. Even if it’s not accurate, it doesn’t count as cheating people.”
Huo Wandu let out a sneer, “Maybe people saw that I am strong on the outside but hollow on the inside, and completely penniless.”
Three years without income, plus a large sum of medical fees, the liquid funds in Huo Wandu’s hands were indeed not that much.
Let alone, although he previously bore a Movie King title looking very awe-inspiring, everyone knew the remuneration for acting in movies wasn’t high; in his previous income sources, the big head was basically from endorsements and the like.
As for the responsible party of the car accident… that was just an ordinary driver who drove cars for people, whose family wasn’t counted as rich. Even if the court sentenced them to pay medical fees, if they couldn’t dig out money, what else could be done?
The most main thing was that after he woke up, he set about starting to let his studio operate; he himself also prepared to transform and start carrying out investment in web dramas.
Previously he had indeed invested in a film, but as a result, right when everything was almost prepared, the director along with several main actors said they wouldn’t shoot and then just didn’t shoot.
This kind of thing wasn’t seen much, but it wasn’t non-existent either.
What was more possible was that someone preferred to smash money just to let Huo Wandu lose his entire family estate.
One must know that the movie-and-television base and the production team were burning money every day. Zhou Zhi was handling these matters all these days, so the director and actors naturally had to pay large sums of liquidated damages.
But these liquidated damages couldn’t fill the previous hole, and now they had to look for people anew. Huo Wandu also demanded a certain quality for web dramas, which was very difficult.
Of course, to say Huo Wandu was completely penniless wouldn’t go to that extent either. His current tentative investing was also merely to find a way out for the people in the studio, otherwise they could only dissolve the studio.
Now various industries were all not booming, and it wasn’t easy for those people under his hands to go out to look for jobs either.
No matter how spoken, with these things happening, his mood was certainly not good.
Zhou Zhi, fearing he had psychological pressure, said in a warm voice, “Don’t think that much. Didn’t you still buy a piece of real estate in the South previously? I will immediately let people go tidy it up, and then you move over. It’s almost entering winter, the temperature over in the Northeast is too low, it’s inappropriate for recuperation.”
Huo Wandu said neither yes nor no, “Look again then.”
Zhou Zhi wasn’t willing to drop the matter though, nagging and muttering all the time. Even if he hung up the phone, he kept sending him messages, until at last Huo Wandu after all was unable to bear the harassment and agreed to let those two Taoist masters come over to change the Feng Shui, and only then did it count as stopping.
Actually, Huo Wandu was also very clear that his current body condition shouldn’t continue to stay here; waiting until the weather turned colder it would be very uncomfortable. Unless he didn’t step a single pace out of the house door, the temperature of the Northeast winter would have great harm to him, not to mention it would be even more inconvenient for him to go out.
Wait a bit more then, in case tomorrow he saw that little black cat again?
The only kitten willing to let him hold and let him touch in so many years, truly it was a bit hard to part with.
He even wanted to carry the little black cat together to go to the South to spend the holidays and pass the winter.
And Xuan Cai, who was being thought of by him, had indeed run over stealthily again. This time he wasn’t here to look for trouble with his enemy though, but instead took a glance at the roof, preparing to handle it a bit.
Although the cat held grudges, it also knew that injustice had its head and debt had its owner!
He had originally learned a hand from his masters preparing to come back to mend that crack, but as a result, coming over, he discovered people had already repaired it all.
Xuan Cai squatted and sat on the roof, somewhat embarrassed using his hind paw to scratch his chin, muttering in his mouth that these people were also too rapid. Since it was like this, he would look at whether other houses had things like being out of repair for years, and help handle it then.
It was just that after he finished inspecting the roof, he discovered several extra stones inside Huo Wandu’s yard.
Those few stones weren’t eye-catching, belonging to the kind that the majority of people wouldn’t place in their hearts upon taking a casual glance. However, Xuan Cai saw at a single glance that those stones and the arrangement of the entire yard composed a formation. The formation protected the yard and the house, and its main effect was exactly to expel ghosts, monsters, and demon spirits.
At the instant of seeing it clearly, Xuan Cai’s eyes narrowed. This thing looked at a glance like it was used to deal with him!
He looked at the formation inside the yard with some disdain.
The formation was not wrong, but wanting to deal with him, it still lacked a bit of Dao-attainment.
He leaped straight down from the wall-top, and at the instant the formation reacted, he turned his head and leaped back up onto the wall, exiting the range of the formation’s effect. Thus, that formation then quietly lay in ambush again, but right when the formation had just quieted down, he leaped back inside again.
For a period of time next, Xuan Cai basically was just repeating this movement all the time.
Hei, I came in, hei, I went out again!
What can you do to me? Lue lue lue~
Xuan Cai’s behavior was no different from provocation, it was just that formations were dead objects, and wouldn’t get angry because of his provocation.
He tossed about by himself for a while, seeing the flowers and grasses inside the yard being blown east-toppling and west-slanting, and slowly he also felt it was meaningless.
If the person who arranged the formation were here, it should be more fun.
Thinking like this, he leaped into the formation, preparing to feel the Dao-method fluctuations inside, to see if he could find the person who arranged the formation when the time came.
As a result, right when he landed on the ground, he felt not quite right. Raising his head, he happened to see his enemy sitting in the wheelchair currently looking at him with a smile.
Huo Wandu was originally eating breakfast, but as a result, while eating, he saw a black shadow jumping up and down inside the yard, bringing along the flowers and grasses inside the yard to shake.
Toward the movement of the flowers and grasses, he hadn’t cared. When the Taoist priests arranged the formation, they didn’t tell him too much, just saying with this there was no fear of demon spirit invasion, and didn’t tell him either what would happen if a demon spirit came inside.
He didn’t know, so naturally he couldn’t see either that this formation was currently carrying out a tug-of-war battle with Xuan Cai. He only saw the black shadow leaping and moving inside the yard.
Under curiosity, he came to the front yard planning to take a look, and as a result, he happened to see the little black cat leap down from the wall, and right upon landing, it leaped back to the wall-top again.
It had to be said, this little cat was truly very hard to catch. Other things not spoken, just this bouncing capability was the most powerful among the cats he had seen.
A yard wall close to two meters high, the little black cat leaped right upon wanting to leap, without any preparation work, and in the middle it didn’t use strength on the wall to borrow force either, completely drawing itself straight up from flat ground.
Seeing the little black cat leaping up and running down playing happily, he didn’t make a sound either, just quietly carrying the airline carrier out from the living room, and then placing freeze-dried treats and cat food inside that it was said the majority of cats all liked very much.
Xuan Cai didn’t know how long he had been looking here, and for a moment he was a bit ashamed and annoyed, and then he looked at Huo Wandu with a face of provocation, and right before his face raised his hind paw and kicked over a flowerpot.
Huo Wandu watched with open eyes that flowerpot whose height was fully half a meter be kicked down, and for a moment he was somewhat suspecting whether this flowerpot wasn’t placed well or the kitten’s hind legs truly had that much strength.
That was a flowerpot planting a Money Tree!
It was just that he didn’t carry out excessive conflict either. Right now nothing could match the importance of kidnapping the kitten.
Therefore, he placed the airline carrier down, saying in a soft voice, “Mimi, are you hungry? I have delicious food here oh.”
After hearing that sentence from Huo Wandu and then taking a glance at the airline carrier, Xuan Cai gave a cold sneer. This kind of method he had seen very many times, very many kittens that hadn’t opened their spiritual wisdom were just caught away like this.
Tricky and multi-ended humans!
Xuan Cai stared at Huo Wandu and looked for quite a good while, looking to the point that Huo Wandu was all a bit nervous.
He didn’t know whether it was his hallucination, but he always felt he saw cold sneering, disdain, contempt, and so on emotions on a cat face.
As is known to all, humans could indeed feel a portion of emotions from a cat’s face, but rarely could they feel out such complex diversity of emotions.
Right when he planned to softly coax and cheat the little black cat to come inside to eat things, he saw the little black cat marching with stocky paces toward him.
En, to not say elegant was truly because that round body shape of the other party really couldn’t see half a grain of elegance. To say it reluctantly, there were instead a few parts of domineering aura.
He didn’t know either whether it was a problem of thick fur and long fur or this little cat was truly that fat, even the portions of its four legs exposed weren’t many, looking unexpectedly to possess quite a few parts of a munchkin cat’s meaning.
The little black cat walked over slowly, and after taking a glance at him, it squeezed into the airline carrier.
Huo Wandu bent his waist slightly and wasn’t in a hurry to strike, because although the cat’s head had gone inside, there was still a small half of its body outside, so he needed to wait patiently for the little cat to go inside, or think of a way to push it inside while not scaring the little cat at the same time.
The airline carrier was quite a bit larger than the little cat’s body, plus he had placed the freeze-dried treats and cat food at the innermost part. For the little cat to want to eat the food, its entire body must squeeze inside.
However, after Xuan Cai poked his head inside, he took a glance at the cat food and freeze-dried treats placed in the bowl, raised his paw and raked the bowl before himself, lowered his head, opened his mouth, and just sucked the cat food and freeze-dried treats completely into his mouth, and then rapidly retreated, running away from the range of the airline carrier.
Huo Wandu instantly petrified right there. It was his first time seeing a cat eat food like this, to use a word to describe it, that was a blizzard inhalation.
This kind of behavior generally was relatively more on dogs’ bodies, for example, a Husky.
This little black cat simply let him open his eyes wide to view the world.
The most outrageous thing was that after the little black cat snatched the food away, it didn’t run to the point of having no shadow like previously either, but instead squatted and sat before him, placing the cat food and freeze-dried treats from its mouth onto a leaf, and then ate them all unhurriedly.
It was still a clean-loving kitten.
Right when Huo Wandu prepared to continue using cat food and freeze-dried treats to entice, the little black cat turned its head and bounced here and there in his yard. After continuously kicking down several flowerpots, it once again drew up from flat ground and went onto the wall-top.
Xuan Cai lowered his head and took a glance at the yard, satisfactorily seeing the formation inside the yard had already been destroyed, and then he gave Huo Wandu an extremely arrogant glance, turned his body, and ran away grandly and ostentatiously.
Huo Wandu looked at the empty airline carrier, and then looked at the broken flowerpots and the utterly messy yard, starting to ponder whether he this time lost the wife and discarded the soldiers.
Forget it, this little cat looked at a glance to be wild and difficult to tame. Truly wanting to reluctantly kidnap it back, it might not necessarily be able to adapt to days of being domesticated by humans.
Especially just now that gaze and expression of the other party looked like it didn’t quite welcome him either; perhaps that night was just a beautiful accident only.
Ai, he had still never encountered such a smart kitten.
But thinking about it, it was also true. A stray cat being able to feed itself into a pig, if it weren’t clever it probably wouldn’t quite do either.
Huo Wandu put away the airline carrier and by the way let the housekeeping come over to help tidy the yard. Right at this time, Zhou Zhi gave him a phone call.
Huo Wandu looking at the number couldn’t resist giving a ze, picked it up, and asked, “I am currently still alive, for breakfast I ate soy milk and fried dough sticks, for lunch I plan to order takeout, for dinner I haven’t thought well what to eat yet, is there anything else to ask?”
Zhou Zhi, upon hearing that the place where he resided had problems, had almost flown straight over; from then on this fellow was caring every day whether he would be carried away in the mouth by a monster.
After fearing and suffering for a whole night, before he spoke he heard such a continuous string: …
This fellow was crazier to lead than his son!
Zhou Zhi said in a bad mood, “Who cares what you ate, I want to ask you what exactly happened, why on the internet they are saying with vows that you are involved in a homicide case and have already been carried away by the police.”
“En?” Huo Wandu wrinkled his brows: “What?”
Zhou Zhi said, “Look at the trending searches yourself.”
After speaking he hung up the phone. Originally when he received the news he was still a bit anxious, but hearing that tone of Huo Wandu he knew he currently should still be at home, and no bizarre event had occurred, then he also had nothing to worry about.
Huo Wandu holding the phone paused for an instant. He had already not looked at social software for a very long time.
Whether the caring blessings there were good, or the dark cursings were fine, they had already distanced from his life for a long time.
When he had just woken up, his psychological state wasn’t very good. No matter who it was, it was very hard to accept that upon waking up from a sleep oneself lost three years of time, and at the same time turned into a cripple.
The goodness and malice on the internet would all be magnified by times. His state during that period of time wasn’t very good, and he simply quit the internet to let himself slowly calm down.
And the reports and news related to him were just having a swarm of quite a lot right when he woke up, and later it gradually grew rare for anyone to ask about it. The glory of three years ago was just like a fleeting flower. After the hot wave receded, his life also gradually calmed down.
Calm, yet twisting.
While Huo Wandu was thinking, he opened the software, and right upon entering, he saw the pushed trending search:
“Movie King Huo Wandu Suspected of Being Involved in a Homicide Case, Questioned by Police”
