Chapter 78 Save the Cat

Ye Anbai was startled by his voice. When he saw that it was Fu Zai and Shi Shi, the anger he had suppressed for several days suddenly came out.

　　On the day of Ye Xiaomei's wedding, Fuzai, Shitou and the Chen family brothers and sisters were eating and drinking at his house. They even showed off a bunch of gadgets that he had never played with before.

　　He asked his mother and grandma for fresh gadgets, and grandma promised to knead clay for him, but the stuff she kneaded out was so ugly that it was impossible to play with it.

　　And his mother had a big belly, so when he made a fuss, she would stuff two cents into his hand to send him away, but Yueya Village was a poor and remote place, and she had nowhere to spend the money she had.

　　Ye Anbai looked at Fu Zai's arrogant look and became angrier the more he thought about it: "It's none of your business! I found this cat!"

　　"Didn't you see that it was almost dead?" Fuzai shouted, "Why are you bullying it!"

　　"I'm happy!" Ye Anbo held the kitten's legs and shook it. Seeing that Fu Zai's eyes were red with anxiety, he suddenly felt very happy.

　　"You want this kitten?"

　　"If I want you, just give it to me?" Fu Zai stared at him.

　　Amber Ye suddenly became proud: "Why should I give it to you for free? You have to exchange it for something!"

　　"What do you want?" Stone on the side asked.

　　"I want the gadgets in your hands!" Ye Anbai put his hands on his hips, "The ones Brother Nian made, the rattle, the mud squeal, and the wooden spinning top!"

　　"He is my brother!" Fu Zai was so angry that his cheeks bulged, "You have to call me Third Brother!"

　　"Tch," Ye Amber said disdainfully, "Just tell me whether you want to change it or not!"

　　"Change!" Fu Zai said without thinking.

　　Although he didn't want to give his brother's carefully crafted gadgets to a bad boy like Ye Anbai, the kitten was a life and he couldn't ignore it.

　　After he finished speaking, he took out all the gadgets in his pocket.

　　There are two puppy-like squeals, a rattle made of bamboo, and on the rattle there is a little rabbit drawn by my brother himself.

　　Fuzai's eyes were red, and he sniffed hard to hold back his tears.

　　When Ye Anbai saw it, his eyes were glued to his face. These were all things he had been thinking about before!

　　However, he had suffered losses at the hands of Shitou before, so he was very careful now.

　　Pointing at the little fat man next to him, he ordered: "Jinbao, go get it!"

　　Zhao Jinbao was attracted by the rattle in Fu Zai's hand and was about to step forward after hearing the words.

　　Fu Zai clenched his little hands tightly and took a few steps back: "Give me the kitten first."

　　"No! What should I do if you cheat?" Ye Anbai held the kitten's neck, his eyes full of vigilance.

　　He was not afraid of Fu Zai, but he was afraid of stones. He had been whipped by a stone before, and now when he saw the stone, he felt his butt burning again.

　　"We don't cheat." Shitou secretly clenched his fists and said.

　　"I don't believe it!" Ye Anbo raised his voice, "Brother Fu, put your things on the ground and stand back!"

　　The kitten was carried by Ye Anbo, and Fu Zai had no choice but to put the thing on the ground.

"There are stones too! What's the gadget in your pocket? Take it out!"

　　Shitou's face turned dark. He reached out to take it out, but Fu Zai grabbed him and said, "We came to the mountain to pick wild fruits. Brother Shitou didn't bring anything."

　　"Take it out!" Ye Anbai grabbed the kitten's neck, "Believe it or not, I will strangle it to death!"

　　"How dare you!" Fu Zai bit his lip in anger.

　　He didn't understand why Amber Ye was having trouble with a kitten.

　　Seeing this, Shitou silently took out the wooden top from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and pulled Fu Zai back.

　　"Jinbao, go get it quickly." Ye Anbo's eyes gleamed with excitement.

　　Zhao Jinbao heard the sound and stepped forward to pick up a few small gadgets scattered on the ground.

　　"You have got the things, give us the kitten quickly!" Fu Zai said.

　　"Hahahaha!" Ye Anbai laughed.

　　Fu Zai's heart "thumped", his intuition was not good, and the next moment, Ye Anbo raised his hand and threw the kitten into the stream behind him.

　　"Here you go, get it yourself!"

　　Ye Anbai laughed loudly. He took the gadgets from Zhao Jinbao's hand and couldn't wait to play with them.

　　"Ye Amber!"

　　Fu Zai clenched his fists in anger and his shoulders shook.

　　He didn't bother to roll up his trouser legs, and he had long forgotten Ye Annian's instructions, and walked towards the place where the kitten sank with water up to his chest.

　　Seeing this, Shitou didn't care about Ye Anbai and the others, and hurriedly chased after them.

　　Seeing that both of them were in the water, Ye Anbai hugged the things in his arms tightly and called his two little followers to leave quickly.

　　If they wait for the rocks to come up, they will be in trouble.

　　However, before the three of them had gone far, a black shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

　　The copper coins rushed directly to Ye Anbo and threw him to the ground. Ye Anbo was so frightened that he cried "Wow".

　　"Help me! Help!"

　　He struggled desperately and the things in his arms were scattered all over the floor.

　　Zhao Jinbao was so frightened by this scene that he dared not step forward. He dragged his fat body and stumbled towards the village.

　　Fearing for his life, Wu Ergou picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the copper coins.

　　The copper coin was hit by a stone, and he raised his head and bared his teeth at him, with a fierce look in his eyes.

　　Those pair of dark green pupils scared Wu Ergou to the point where he broke into a cold sweat on his back.

　　"Copper coins, don't bite!"

　　Fu Zai's voice suddenly came over.

Hearing the sound, Tongqian bared his teeth and screamed "Woooo" at Ye Anbai who was pressed to the ground by it, and then jumped away from him.

　　Ye Anbai's face turned pale with fright, and it took him a while to get up from the ground.

　　When he looked up, he saw Shi Shi standing next to Fu Zai. Shi Shi was holding a slender branch in his hand.

　　Ye Anbai quickly got up from the ground. Seeing Wu Ergou still standing by the side, he shouted: "Run, why are you still standing there!"

After saying that, regardless of whether Wu Ergou heard it or not, he ran out first.

　　"Woof!"

　　Copper Coin howled.

　　Ye Anbai was running forward when his feet softened and he almost landed on his face.

　　Ye Anbai and Wu Ergou ran away, and neither Fuzai nor Shitou chased them. The kitten was fished out, with its eyes closed tightly and its breathing weak.

　　Fu Zai was very worried. Shitou pinched its hard belly and said, "It must have drank a lot of water. We have to make it vomit it out."

　　The two children hugged the kitten and took the copper coins back to their secret treasure place where rabbits were kept.

　　Fu Zai put the kitten down on the grass and let it lie on its back. Shi Shi tried to press its belly again and again. Seeing that it didn't respond, he even dug its throat with his fingers.

　　After a while, the kitten actually spat out several times and opened its eyes, but it was still not in good spirits and its tail hung down weakly.

　　Fuzai touched its tail with his hand and said worriedly: "Brother Shitou, its tail seems to be broken."

　　"Well," Shi Shi was touching its hind leg, "this leg seems to be broken too."

　　"It's so small, it will die if it's not cured." Fu Zai was worried.

　　The two children looked at each other, but neither said anything.

　　They didn't dare to take the kitten home. They went into the water alone today and had a quarrel with Ye Anbo and the others. If the adults found out, they would definitely be beaten and scolded.

　　Shitou thought about how his grandfather Zhao Lizheng looked when he was angry, and shuddered. He would definitely be beaten.

　　Fu Zai was afraid that if Ye Anyian got angry, he would not be allowed to play with Brother Shitou in the future, but he still wanted to come to this secret treasure land with Brother Shitou to let the little rabbits go.

　　"Let's feed it some food first." Shitou thought for a while and said, "Let's settle it here today, come early tomorrow, and then think of a solution."

　　"Okay." Fu Zai nodded.

　　They didn't bring anything to eat, so Fu Zai went to pick some mulberries, while Shitou went to the stream to catch some small fish and roasted them over the fire.

　　Unexpectedly, the kitten was really hungry. He didn't eat the mulberries, but he ate all the small fish.

　　Shitou comforted Fuzai: "It's okay. As long as it is willing to eat, it will not die."

　　"Yeah." Fu Zai nodded.

　　Seeing that it was getting late, the two children made a small nest for the kitten with thorn vines, spread some soft grass, and then left.

　　Shitou walked Fuzai to the door before running home.

　　In the yard, Ye Anyian and Ding Qiu were picking medicinal herbs drying on the ground.

　　Fu Zai walked in with a basket on his back and the copper coins. When he saw Ding Qiu, who was as calm as a little adult, he almost screamed with joy.

　　Brother Qiu must have learned a lot of medical skills from Brother Jiang. He should be able to save kittens, right?

　　Tomorrow he would find a way to take Brother Qiu out.

　　"Are you willing to come back?"

Ye Anyian saw Fu Zai standing in the courtyard in a daze and said.

　　"Brother! Brother Qiu!"

　　Xiaotuanzi, whose worries suddenly dissipated, put down the basket with the little rabbit in it and happily rushed towards it: "Are you getting medicinal materials? I'll help you!"

　　Ye Anyian pinched his little nose: "Where are you so crazy that you came back so late?"

　　"I took the little rabbit to eat grass," Fu Zai stuck out his tongue, "Brother Shitou found a good place, and the grass grows particularly well there."

　　"Didn't you go play in the stream?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　Fu Zai's little heart was beating loudly. He secretly clenched his fists and pretended to be calm: "No, we didn't go into the mountain either. We are just at the foot of the mountain."

　　"That's good." Ye Anian didn't ask any more questions, "Go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

　　In the main room, the tempting fragrance of rice has wafted out.

　　"Okay!" Fu Zai responded and ran away.

　　Ye Annian stared at the muddy shoes on his feet and shook his head helplessly.

　　"Fu Zai is still young, so he will inevitably be playful." Ding Qiu suddenly said, "If Brother Ye is worried, I will ask him for you tonight."

　　Ye Anyian was a little surprised: "How did you know?"

　　Ding Qiu is blind, so he shouldn't be able to notice anything strange about Fu Zai. He didn't say anything just now.

　　"He smells like water plants in the stream." Ding Qiu twitched his nose, "I don't know if he went into the water, but he must have gone to the stream."

　　"You are so smart, study hard, and when your eyes heal, you will definitely be top-notch in the scientific examination." Ye Annian touched his head.

　　Ding Qiu arranged the dried medicinal materials in his hands and shook his head when he heard this: "I don't want to take the exam for fame."

　　"Then what do you want to do?"

　　"Like Mr., be a traveling doctor and do free clinics, specializing in treating poor people." Ding Qiu said.

　　Ye Annian was startled. Jiang Zhu had even done free clinic before?

　　"Then you have to eat enough to be strong." Jiang Zhu stood behind the two of them at some point.

　　"I will collect the remaining medicinal materials later. You two should go wash your hands and eat."

　　"Okay, sir." Ding Qiu responded and went to wash his hands with his blind stick.

　　Ye Annian also stood up, saw Jiang Zhu staring at him, and asked, "Didn't you escape? You can't even take care of yourself, and you still go to a free clinic?"

　　"I've seen so much suffering in the world, why don't you want to do something good?" Jiang Zhu smiled.

　　Ye Anyian said nothing and stared at him up and down.

　　"What? I'm so not a good person?"

　　Ye Anyian shook his head: "You are too scheming."

　　"A good person can't be mean-spirited?" Jiang Zhu put his arm around Ye Anyian's shoulders, "Does this count as discrimination?"

　　Ye Annian glanced at him coldly: "Who can be as clever as you?"

　　Jiang Zhu smiled and twisted his peach blossom eyes: "Oh, let's not talk anymore, let's eat and eat."
