Fairy takeaway

No matter what he promised to explain, Mr. Black Lihua refused to accept it, so he had no choice but to give up.Mr. Black Lihua held a bouquet of lily-of-the-valley flowers in his mouth and stuffed them into Tanuo's arms.

"Hey, this is your number, don't wait for the number to pass, pay attention to yourself." Mr. Hei Lihua urged fiercely, seeing him nodding his head wisely, he stopped talking, turned around and scolded the newcomer for being disobedient The guy went.

There are five flower bones hanging from the lily of the valley branch of Tanuo, which means that there are five consultants in front of him.The lily-of-the-valley exudes a charming fragrance, and he carefully put his nose up to it and sniffed it lightly.It's not the flowering period of the lily of the valley, and I don't know what method these cats used to make the flowers bloom early.

A long-haired stray cat with a white body, black hat and black tail was lying in front of Tanuo, with its tail drooping, basking listlessly in the sun.His body was dirty, his white hair was stained with dust, it looked gray, and he had a bald patch on his back.He fiddled with his four lily-of-the-valleys with his paws from time to time, obviously impatient to wait.

He Nuo picked up a big clean rock, flopped his limbs and climbed up with difficulty, and sat down with his back against a tree trunk beside him.It was a bit uncomfortable for his butt to press his tail, so he stretched out his paw and scratched the fur on his butt.The air in the woods was very humid, and the thick dew was not comfortable sticking to fur.

He Nuo continued to scratch his butt for a while, feeling a little cold all over his body, and took out a transparent salt jar from the skin bag under his arm.

shhhhh--

The cats that were lazily lying around in twos and threes suddenly raised their heads, shaking their ears, and stared at him vigilantly.The stray Mr. Cat in front of him was very courageous, so he came up to him and sniffed it cautiously.

The salt shaker in his paw paused in mid-air, a little embarrassed.He felt embarrassed, stopped throwing salt on himself, and explained softly, "This is salt."

Although he has never lived in the ocean, Tano, as a sea otter, has not fully integrated into the freshwater environment.Excessive moisture often makes his coat and skin conditional.Mother otter thinks that these are caused by too little salt, and specially prepared a salt shaker for him, so that he can take it out and sprinkle salt on himself when he feels uncomfortable.

He Nuo likes crystal clear salt grains very much.The salt is sea salt, which has much larger particles than ordinary salt. Sprinkle it into the hair and rub it, which can remove the dirt on the hair and skin surface well.

The salt shaker is a precious gift from a mother otter.He Nuo has been carefully hiding it in the skin pouch under his armpit, where it is his secret treasure place to store his treasures.

In addition to the salt shaker, he promised to hide his most beloved stone in his leather bag.This stone was carefully selected by Ta Nuo from thousands of various stones after swimming all over the Hongjiu River. Its size, shape and weight are one in a thousand, and it is extremely handy. It is used to smash shells. It's even better with shrimp and crab.

Thinking of this, he Nuo suddenly had an idea.Maybe he should pick a rock for the little boss too?Ah, what a gift rocks are!All animals and humans in this world should have a stone of their own.

shhhhh--

The sound of sprinkling salt continued.The cats were curious for a while, but soon lost interest and returned to their previous state of boredom.

He Nuo sprinkled sea salt evenly on his fur, and began to comb the hair with his paws.He rubs very carefully, and pays attention to the strength and angle of his claws, drawing circles clockwise, from outside to inside, from surface to inside, layer by layer, trying to take care of every inch of skin and every hair.The cheeks and belly are the most important parts to take care of, and the four paws should also be kept dry, otherwise the body temperature will be lost very quickly.

The sun is hanging in the very center of the sky, which is the sunniest time of the day.A few rays of sunlight leaked from the ginkgo branches and sprinkled on the big rocks, baking the fur on Tanuo's upper body until it became fluffy and soft.

What a fine day.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Black Lihua jumped out from the corner, came to Mr. Stray Cat and Thano, and violently tore off a lily of the valley from their paws.This means that Ta Nuo has advanced one place in the team.

After Mr. Black Lihua left, Mr. Stray Cat might feel bored, so he began to chat with him.

"What are you here for? You don't look like a cat." He said, with a strong taste of northern dialect in his tone.

He promised politely, I am a sea otter.

What is a sea otter?

The conversation between an otter and a cat is very pleasant.He Nuo even invited Mr. Stray Cat to come and sprinkle some salt, but the other party politely refused.He took out another lemon-flavored fruit candy from the glass jar and handed it to Mr. Stray Cat.Mr. Stray Cat licked it, and his body was so sour that his hair exploded, as if he had been electrified.

Mr. Stray Cat told Nuo that his name was Guokui.

The name sounds a bit odd.Tha Nuo was named by the mother otter, and all the otter family was named him.The elder otter named him Yan, and the second elder brother called him Xing.Later, three, four, five, six, seven, eight were born one after another, and when there were more children, the otter father and otter mother were too lazy to think of meaningful names, and the other brothers and sisters named them after landscapes, flowers and plants at will.He Nuo didn't know the naming rules for cats.

"It's very popular in our cat world to name pancakes." Guo Kui introduced, with a bit of pride on his face, "This trend originated from a famous cat. Speaking of which, he was also a stray cat." He doesn't seem to care about his status as a stray cat.

Guokui is a kind of pie-shaped pasta, which is very fashionable, and the hair on the head of Guokui is black, which is very suitable for the word helmet.He is very happy with his name.

Talking, eating candy, time passed much faster.When he Nuo stuffed the third candy into his mouth, he was finally told that they could enter the waiting area of ​​the office.

The full name of the cat's office is Mao Chuncheng Chengjing Cat Consulting Firm, which is affiliated to the "Chengjing Association after the founding of the People's Republic of China" and is the only consulting firm dedicated to cats in the city.The office is set up in the trunk of a huge ginkgo tree.This ginkgo grows so huge that it reaches into the sky, and only five people can embrace it.It is said that it has a lifespan of thousands of years. It was once split in half by a thunderbolt, and the inside was hollowed out, but it still survived.Consul Mao led a group of stewards to clear out the empty tree trunks and create an office about two meters long and wide.Although this space is a bit cramped for many large animals, it is still magnificent, luxurious and solemn for petite cats.

However, in fact, the style of the cat's office is very cat, and everything reveals laziness and carelessness.Facing the gate of the office is a circular office area.The desks and chairs of the stewards are cut from a whole piece of wood, the corners are crooked, and they have only been polished and polished. The surface is full of cat paw marks. It seems that the desks and chairs also take on the role of the stewards. The heavy duty of sports equipment.

At a height of about two meters from the ground, a circular window was cut, and a green and emerald vine twisted and looped, passing through the window from the ginkgo tree and extending to the desk of the office.A string of white lily-of-the-valley flowers is tied at the end of the vine.Whenever the stewards finished handling a case, the intern steward sitting at the end would tickle the string of lilies of the valley with his paw, and inform Mr. Hei Lihua to arrange for the next consultant to wait.

Due to the limited space in the office, only three consultants are allowed to wait in the office.He Nuo is the third.The first consultant and Mr. Guokui entered the venue smoothly, but it was really difficult for Tano's body to fully integrate into the office without affecting others.So, he took off his hat, picked a convenient position, lay down on the ground, and put his head in through the door—waiting quietly.

There are a total of seven stewards in the cat's office, among which the cat's consul, a short-tailed yellow raccoon with a short, round, short tail, sits in the center of the chair.The Cat Consul does not know how old he is, but he looks old, his speech is very vague, the corners of his eyes are cloudy, and he always squints to look at people.There are three stewards sitting at the two ends of Consul Mao, and they sit in order from the middle to the two ends according to their positions.Sitting at the end are two intern stewards.

The first important customer of Shenxian Food Delivery, Lin Guanshi, was sitting in the seat closest to Lily of the Valley.He is still young and still an intern steward.It is said that the competition in the firm is fierce. Every year, hundreds of cats come to apply for the job, and those who can stay are the smartest and most knowledgeable among them.Steward Lin was able to sit in the position of intern steward at a young age, which shows that he is extremely capable and experienced.

He Nuo squeezed a paw in from under his head, waved his fingers and silently greeted his important client.He didn't get a response, which is only natural.

Manager Lin is notoriously bad at words. Whenever he appears, he always has a cold smirk on his face. Through the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he stares at people with a half-smile.He is not an aboriginal resident of Baiyelin, he moved from Maochun City after he became a spirit.It is said that when he was still in the human world, he was abandoned many times, so he had a strong sense of rejection and distrust towards others.

He Nuo simply squeezed both of his front paws into the door, and listened carefully with his face in his hands. This posture is very comfortable.The consultation has not yet officially started, and the office is very quiet.He Nuo blinked, and quietly stared at Steward Lin for a while.His sea otter eyes are not very big, like two black peas, it is a bit funny when he looks at people seriously.

Manager Lin didn't know whether he didn't notice it or he didn't bother to pay attention, and he didn't mind his scrutiny.

He promised, Lin Guanshi is really a beautiful white lion cat, with soft and smooth hair, like a big cotton flower.It would probably be welcome if it were milder.

However, customers are customers after all.He Nuo warned himself in his heart, not to judge a cat by its appearance, and treat customers with respect.

Soon, his thoughts were interrupted.The short-haired black cat ranked first in the waiting area was called to the reception area.A small rough-carved wooden chair is placed on the reception area, and the counselor can choose to sit on it or lie down.

Consul Cat asked slowly.His voice was deep, drawn out, without any ups and downs, and it was easy to sound sleepy.

He Nuo noticed that Mr. Guokui secretly yawned.

Consul Mao asked, "Name, what are you asking about?"

The black cat sat on the small wooden chair with its paws folded, its tail tightly wrapped around itself, looking a bit cramped.With a trembling voice, he replied: "Hello, consul, stewards. My name is Hei Zhima. I come from the west. I plan to settle in Maochun City this spring. I want to know which district in the city has better free cat food. "

He Nuo stared, his mind full of question marks.

Therefore, the cats come to the office every day for consultation, solemnly receive their numbers, queue up, and spend most of the day. Is this what they want to ask?
