Chapter 12: The Sound of Your Mocking Disturbs Me
Zhang Chang felt a wet area on his neck.
The kitten was becoming more and more like he was one of them.
He looked down at his paws stepping in the stream, comforting himself that since he was already wet, he didn't mind getting a little wetter.
Lifting his paw, he started walking towards the den.
To prevent the kitten from being blown by the cold wind, he deliberately walked very slowly.
He felt something intentionally or unintentionally touching his ear, and he shook his ear in annoyance.
The next second, the kitten's hot breath sprayed in his ear, with a questioning tone, "Hmm? Aren't you going to take a bath?"
"No." Zhang Chang said with mischief, "Wait for you to wash me when we get back.
It's time to lick the other paw today, and this paw is already wet."
Chu Wenmao: "......" If Zhang Chang didn't say it, he had even forgotten about this matter.
But just now he thought Zhang Chang would take a bath, so he took the opportunity to absorb the water on Zhang Chang's fur.
Might as well use the high-quality towel, right?
"Isn't it dirty if you don't wash?" He only groomed Zhang Chang a little bit every day, and the cleaning was far from adequate.
Zhang Chang wanted to say that by the time he finished, the kitten would have already won, as he groomed himself every day.
"It's not dirty."
Getting the answer, Chu Wenmao sat up slightly, looking at the wet area under him, lowering his head, and he rarely took the initiative to groom the other.
Zhang Chang's footsteps paused, this was just as hard to bear as the kitten whispering in his ear.
"Groom when we get back, no need now."
Chu Wenmao hmmed, the rare peaceful silence in the forest made him lie on Zhang Chang's back and look up at the night sky.
The night sky in the forest always looks more beautiful than in the city, the black velvet curtain of the sky dotted with diamond-like stars, the twinkling things always make people unable to look away.
It was not yet dawn when they returned to the den.
On the way, Chu Wenmao rested well, and he jumped down from Zhang Chang, planning to groom Zhang Chang quickly and then go to sleep.
But when he walked over to Zhang Chang, Zhang Chang took the initiative before he even opened his mouth, the wet thing touched his face, and then his whole body.
He stood there dumbfounded, not daring to move.
The problem of the little kitten was just a few mouthfuls, Zhang Chang quickly groomed the kitten's fur, "This way it dries faster."
Chu Wenmao blinked his dry eyes, telling himself that he was now Zhang Chang's kitten, and Zhang Chang grooming him was the most normal thing.
It's just like when he groomed Zhang Chang.
When he groomed Zhang Chang, he didn't have any feelings.
After thinking it through, he walked happily to groom Zhang Chang, and after that he was selecting his own sleeping spot, Zhang Chang's body was too comfortable, and he couldn't help but step on it when he slept.
Zhang Chang's paws weren't exactly comfortable either, to him it was just a hard pillow.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on Zhang Chang's back half.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Chang heard the kitten's excited footsteps coming towards him, and he vaguely felt that there was no good thing.
"Can I sleep on you?"
Zhang Chang narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.
This kitten always climbed onto him to sleep, why did he ask politely this time?
Something's not right, very wrong.
Chu Wenmao smiled slightly, looking very innocent, "To prevent me from stepping on you in the middle of the night, I've decided to sleep lying flat this time."
That is, the human sleeping position with the belly facing up, but Zhang Chang wouldn't let him expose his belly, so he spoke up and asked, "Can you curl up your tail and protect my belly?"
Zhang Chang: "......" He knew the kitten definitely had no good intentions.
The only thing that comforted him was that the kitten finally listened to his words.
But in the end, he was the one who suffered.
Although the lynx's tail is short, it is more than enough to cover the kitten's belly, "Can you sleep now?"
Chu Wenmao nodded in satisfaction, "Let's sleep, it'll be dawn soon." Thinking of dawn, he became a little worried again, "That lynx won't come to our den during the day and take revenge on us for disturbing his sleep, right?"
"It was the parrot that was noisy." The kitten's voice couldn't be any brighter, the parrot's voice was sharper and brighter, "It was the parrot that disturbed, not us."
Zhang Chang perfectly shifted the blame to the parrot.
Chu Wenmao's heart that was hanging down just relaxed, but then he remembered that he seemed to have cried "meow meow meow" when he fell.
He raised his body and looked at Zhang Chang's expression, Zhang Chang's eyes were already closed, it seemed he didn't think much of it.
He lay down again and slept peacefully.
In the middle of the night he got hungry and got up to eat the rabbit meat he had torn apart before, and he specially left some for Zhang Chang.
Zhang Chang hadn't eaten anything for two days, he should eat, otherwise in the end he would see Zhang Chang and couldn't help but want to eat him.
A little impatience can ruin a big plan.
He ignored the fragrance of the rabbit meat and jumped back onto Zhang Chang to continue napping.
Zhang Chang really wasn't hungry, if the kitten hadn't gotten up and made noise to wake him, he could have opened his eyes until evening.
But tonight he must catch prey, he didn't mind, if he didn't hunt, the kitten wouldn't have anything to eat.
After all, he was woken up, Zhang Chang waited for the kitten to rest for a while before getting up, "Let's go, we're catching ducks today."
That's just right.
The half-asleep Chu Wenmao pretended not to have heard, closing his eyes and continuing to sleep.
And now it's broad daylight, isn't the lynx a nocturnal animal?!
"Don't pretend to sleep." Zhang Chang saw through the little kitten's little tricks.
If he didn't pretend to sleep, the moment he stood up, the kitten would have fallen down, but now he was still lying steadily on him.
Chu Wenmao didn't know when Zhang Chang became so smart, but he absolutely wouldn't get up.
Zhang Chang directly carried the kitten to the river. In spring the water has warmed up, and the ducks were gathered in groups, all very plump.
Chu Wenmao saw the ducks and could think of the fat and oily roast duck, especially the big and round duck heads in front of him, the chest muscles were plump, very suitable for making a delicious dish.
Unfortunately, even if he caught the completely natural, hormone-free ducks, he didn't have good cooking utensils.
It really broke the cat's heart.
Zhang Chang hid behind a large stone by the river, patiently teaching the kitten how to hunt the prey in the water.
"Sometimes they'll come close to the shore, just like now, when the group of ducks swims over, we can act unexpectedly and quickly catch one."
Chu Wenmao mumbled out a sentence after listening for a while, "Don't tell me you're also a swimming expert."
The lynx climbing high up the tree has already hit his sore spot, if the lynx is also good at swimming, then he really doesn't have the qualifications to be the lynx's kitten.
He grew up in the north, a typical land duck.
When he traveled as an adult, he had seen the sea a few times, and just went down with a life jacket and splashed a few times.
So don't talk about swimming, without protective gear, he might just drown if he goes into the water.
Zhang Chang: "It's not that I'm a swimming expert, all lynxs are good at swimming."
Can't help it, the race's genes are strong.
Chu Wenmao sighed to the sky, the things the lynx is good at are all the things he is worst at, he really plays the role of a kitten with difficulty.
Helplessly, he said words that went against his heart, "Actually, I don't like to eat duck meat."
Compared to life, duck meat is of course less important.
"Do you like to eat fish?" Zhang Chang saw that there were also a lot of small fish in the river.
Chu Wenmao had never eaten raw fish, but there was a children's song that cats seemed to love to eat fish.
He only responded a second later, and Zhang Chang had already made the decision for him, "I'll catch the ducks, you come catch the fish."
After all, the cat is not a lynx, Zhang Chang added, "Just ambush on the shore, you don't have to go in the water."
Even if he didn't have to go in the water, Chu Wenmao still sighed deeply, "Can't you not sleep during the day? I left you some rabbit meat."
"No time tonight." Zhang Chang said, "We're changing dens tonight."
The wolf pack may have searched the area the kitten pointed out, and he can change to the place the wolf pack has finished searching.
"The important thing now is to teach you how to hunt, then you can be self-reliant." This way, the fake father can feel at ease.
Chu Wenmao looked sad, "In the end, you still don't want to raise your own kitten."
Zhang Chang always felt that this kitten was about to start again.
Sure enough, the kitten's little mouth started babbling incessantly, sounding aggrieved, as if he had been bullied.
"Why do you let the kitten live independently when he's only a year old? The kitten is so weak and cute, can you bear to let the wolf pack chase him?"
As he said this, Chu Wenmao's eyes darted around, he knew he had found a way to save his life.
Talking again, the tone was no longer pitiful, but clearly commanding:
"Moreover, the wolf pack is still chasing you and me, if you let me go out, wouldn't you be sending me to the wolf pack?"
"How about this, wait until you've destroyed that wolf pack, then I'll go live on my own."
Zhang Chang just wants him to learn how to hunt and then live independently, he successfully diverted the target, letting Zhang Chang complete the task, and then he can live independently.
There's absolutely no animal smarter than him in the animal kingdom.
Zhang Chang: "..." Feels like his head has gotten a lot bigger.
This kitten really knows how to find trouble, and stubbornly pushes the matter onto his head.
As a lynx, he definitely can't beat the large wolf pack, and by the time the wolf pack is alone, the time will be extremely long.
This kitten just doesn't want to live independently, and has to stick to him.
No problem, as long as he's in his stomach, it's equivalent to being with him.
"Why don't you say anything?" Chu Wenmao climbed onto Zhang Chang's head, reaching out to touch the black fur on the tip of Zhang Chang's ear, the kitten's face full of puzzlement, "Isn't it working?"
Zhang Chang, who completely didn't want to respond to the kitten, turned his head to avoid the kitten's paws, "I'm starting to suspect that your mouth is too lacking, and your mother threw you out."
Chu Wenmao shook his head, "Don't you know what kind of female lynx you found? You have to trust your own eyesight, the female lynx you found must be gentle, kind and full of love."
Zhang Chang's gaze was firmly fixed on the lake water, he now extremely hoped that the ducks could swim faster, so that he could quickly finish hunting and escape this bitter sea.
"Shhh, be quiet." To protect his ears and keep his brain clear, Zhang Chang opened his eyes and lied, "The ducks are coming."
"Let me demonstrate the hunting process for you, watch carefully."
"Oh." Chu Wenmao didn't continue to lie on Zhang Chang's head, but got down from Zhang Chang, crouching beside to conceal his body.
He was afraid that when Zhang Chang leapt up to hunt, he wouldn't react in time and be directly thrown into the lake.
Zhang Chang finally felt the world was quiet.
The kitten talks more and more after getting familiar with him, and not only that, but the kitten also seems to think he is especially easy to deceive?
He is the one with the foresight and calculating everything.
The squawking sound was getting closer and closer, Chu Wenmao finally opened his drowsy eyes.
Turning his head, Zhang Chang had already taken a crouching position to ambush, the green pupils reflecting the shallow lake.
The ducks swam past them in just a few seconds.
Zhang Chang seized the opportunity and leapt up, the ducks seemed not to have expected the terrifying movement from the calm lakeside, their brains still didn't react to command their bodies to flee, the ducks closest to the shore were already caught by the lynx leaning forward.
The other ducks, frightened, quickly swam away, squawking.
Zhang Chang saw it was enough, he put the duck in his mouth down to his side, and then asked the kitten, "Did you see it clearly?"
Chu Wenmao nodded, he saw it, but actually doing it himself would be a different story.
Reaction ability and hunting ability require a lot of practice to truly experience, and his experience was almost zero.
"You come catch the fish." Zhang Chang didn't really like to eat fish, but he had caught some while swimming, it was very simple.
Just as simple as catching mice. He had no choice but to calmly accept it, Chu Wenmao heard it and enthusiastically stepped onto the rock.
When he was human, he hadn't fished a few times, fishing became more and more addictive, he didn't expect that he could now catch fish with his own hands.
Fish are much easier to deal with than other animals, fish can only see things close by, they are near-sighted, their vision is poor, and their buffs are stacked.
As long as he is accurate enough and doesn't slip, the chance of catching fish is very high.
He was full of self-confidence, just like when he caught mice, as if mice and fish were the favorite foods of cats, and cats have a natural intimidation towards their favorite foods.
Zhang Chang has very low requirements for Chu Wenmao now, as long as he is willing to hunt.
The fish swished their tails and leisurely swam by.
Chu Wenmao's attention was as focused as when Zhang Chang caught the duck, it's just that the fish were deeper in the lake than he imagined, he could only lean down to try to catch them.
Just as his cat paws were about to touch the fish, his heart that had just bloomed with joy quickly withered.
His four paws started flapping frantically, help! His cat face was almost poking the fish's head!
The rock just now was too slippery, he didn't stand firmly, and splashed into the water.
The speed was so fast that Zhang Chang couldn't even catch his tail.
The ducks on the side: "Quack quack quack~~ quack quack quack~~ quack quack quack~~"
Chu Wenmao: "....." The sound of your mocking disturbs me.
