Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 391 Lucky Cat

"Okay, I'll let it go when it gets braver." Song Ying responded casually, "It's getting late, Auntie, you should go back and hang the clothes."

Tangtang dared to come down only after everyone left.

Unexpectedly, after the aunt left, Tangtang still didn't dare to come down. Song Ying and Luo Yanxing kept coaxing it, but it just meowed there.

Later, Aunt Song also came back. The three of them called it from below, but it still refused to come down and just kept meowing.

As the sky grew darker and Tangtang's cries on the tree became more urgent, Song Ying suddenly had an idea and asked, "Maybe it won't come down from the tree?"

Luo Yanxing's eyes widened. "No way? Cats are so agile that they can jump to many places."

Song Ying looked at Tangtang on the tree and simply climbed up and picked it up.

Maybe it was because of this experience that it felt there was no danger outside. Two days later, when Song Ying came back, Luo Yanxing said with a complicated expression: "I think your Tangtang really wants to be the lucky cat himself."

"What do you mean?" Song Ying was puzzled. "She wouldn't break my lucky cat, would she?"

She turned her head to look, but there was nothing on the cabinet. She became anxious immediately. Not to mention that rosewood is precious, the wooden cat sculpture was a gift from her master!

"Don't worry, it wants to fight with others, I'll put it away."

Song Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "So what do you mean?"

Luo Yanxing said: "It ran away today, and a girl saw it and liked it very much. She wanted to touch it, so it ran back. The girl chased it and found our store. She came to the store to see it, bought two pieces of soap and left."

"Can this still happen?"

"Later, it ran out again, attracting the aunties and grandmas in our neighborhood. They all came to the store in surprise to see it. Some people passing by thought what was going on here and went into the store."

Song Ying was completely stunned. Tangtang was truly a lucky cat!

Will the problem of their store’s poor location be solved because of Tangtang?

She looked at Tangtang and said, "Master said that Tangtang is a lion cat and will be very majestic and beautiful when she grows up. Do you think someone will come to see it after hearing about it?"

Luo Yanxing also looked at Tangtang, who was almost seven months old. He was very long and tall, but thin after all, so he didn't look majestic for the time being. However, he was very cute with his snow-white fur, delicate face, and bright yellow eyes.

If she had heard that there was such an unusual cat in the city, she would naturally want to see it. If something happened nearby, she would definitely come over to take a look at the curio.

She said excitedly: "When it becomes braver, I will carry it around other places in the city and try to make everyone in Qingshui County know about Tangtang!"

Song Ying thought about it. The daybreaks were getting earlier and earlier. After getting up every day, she would recite some medical books at home first, and then go to the clinic after dinner. "I have to recite medical books in the morning anyway. Starting tomorrow, I will take it to the willow tree on the west side of the lake to recite. There are fewer people there. Let it get used to it first, and then we'll see how it goes later."

Early the next morning, at about 2:15 a.m., Song Ying took the medical book and carried a bamboo basket to the willow tree on the west side of Mingjia Lake. In order to prevent Tangtang from running away out of fear, she tied a rope around the basket and covered it with a piece of cloth to ensure that Tangtang could hide in it if she was scared.

At first, Tangtang was a little scared and huddled in the bamboo basket. After a while, she kept looking around. Because it was still early, she met a few people carrying water when she left Shuiyunfang and turned into the back of Liushu Lane.

Seeing that it had adapted well and was not frightened to the point of jumping out of the bamboo basket to escape, he felt that Luo Yanxing's plan was very promising.

When they reached the willow forest, Song Ying walked through it and came to the lake. He chose a tree to climb up, tied Tangtang up, and sat on the tree to recite.

Just as she was reciting the poem with great fascination, there was a rustling sound suddenly heard from the bushes beside her. Song Ying immediately closed her mouth. Fearing that Tangtang would scream, she even covered Tangtang's mouth.

Oh no, I was so focused on helping Tangtang adapt that I forgot not to come to these secret places. I hope I won’t meet any bad guys.

She stared down, not daring to make a sound.

The rustling sound was getting closer and closer, and then a thin figure appeared under the tree, looking around and muttering to himself: "It sounds like it's over here."

Hearing the voice, Song Ying felt relieved and asked, "Yuan Qing, what are you talking about?"

Yuan Qing raised his head. "So you were in the tree. I was wondering if the voice sounded like you."

Song Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead and climbed down the tree holding Tangtang in his arms. "Aren't you in the academy? Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"I came here to practice calligraphy." Yuan Qing said, watching her stuff the white cat into the bamboo basket, "Do you still have a cat?"

"Yes, someone gave it to me, but it's very timid and isn't familiar with you, so you can't look at it yet." As he said that, Song Ying quickly covered it with the cloth.

Unexpectedly, Tangtang stuck her head out from the edge and looked at Yuan Qing curiously.

"You don't look timid."

"Before in Shen's house, it was really timid, but now it's getting braver and braver here."

"It's probably because the Shen Mansion is so simple that it's used to it and gets scared by the slightest noise." Yuan Qing speculated, and then asked, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Song Ying shook the medical book in his hand and said, "Memorize it and help Tangtang practice courage."

"Then go over there and carry it. The ground there is flatter." Yuan Qing made an invitation.

Although Song Ying felt that it was not appropriate for them, a single man and a single woman, to be together in the willow grove so early in the morning, now that they had met, it seemed inappropriate for them to leave, and he seemed very distrustful of each other.

Yuan Qing was the one who taught her to read, so he was half her teacher.

So I followed them, and it was indeed better over there. There were several shiny and clean stones piled up by the lake, and the lake breeze was gentle and very cool.

On the big rock, there was the bluestone slab and bamboo tube for writing brush that Yuan Qing used for practicing calligraphy, and there was even a fishing rod next to it.

Song Ying was surprised, "You are still fishing?"

"Just some fishing."

"It's quite interesting to practice calligraphy and fishing at the same time." Song Ying felt that he had gotten to know Yuan Qing a little better. In the past, he thought that he was just reading and writing articles every day.

"If I recite the text here, will it disturb the fish?" Song Ying had never fished before, but he had seen Song Tian and others do it.

At that time, she and Yan Xing were washing clothes nearby. Song Tian and his friends didn't catch any fish the whole afternoon, so they blamed them for making too much noise from pounding clothes and scaring the fish away.

She was so angry at that time that she wanted to throw the laundry beater at Song Tian and the others' faces. Not only did they not work but they played all day long, but they also complained that their work disturbed their play.

"No, I'm just fishing casually. If I catch something, I'm lucky. If I don't, it means the fish is dead."

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense!"
