Chapter 174 A cat's story
(The cat called Tuanzi at the end of the previous article, if you are not interested, just read the next chapter. (′??w??`)
My name is Qiuzi, and I’m sister Tuanzi’s favorite cat.
I was born during the coldest time of the year.
I didn't know where my mom was, or where my brothers and sisters were.
As I recall, the last words my mother said to me were actually sighs.
When I woke up again, the mother had left with the other stronger kittens, and I couldn't find them.
After that, I never saw my mother again.
I don’t know how long I stayed there, but Sister Tuanzi passed by and picked me up.
Later, it called me Qiuzai and asked me to call it Tuanzi or sister.
It said I was like a snowball, rolling around on the ground, so could I just be called Ball Boy?
I didn't quite understand, but I agreed.
Because I was so hungry, I ate a lot of white and icy things on the ground but it still couldn't fill my stomach.
This cat sister said she would give me delicious food, so she must be a super good cat!
Later, my sister took me and taught me how to find food, climb trees and survive, and gave me all her favors.
I think it looks like my mother.
Although a long time has passed, I no longer remember what my mother looked like.
But, that's what a mother should be like, right?
He would give up his share just because I said it was delicious, and he would protect me when other kittens bullied me.
He would always look at me gently, listen to me chattering about what happened every day, lick my fur, and hold me to sleep.
It is not my mother, but it is in my heart, just the name has changed.
In fact, I also called it mom.
But it seemed to be stunned for a moment, and its eyes seemed to be looking at me, or as if it was recalling something.
I knew it didn't recognize me, but it was still a little unhappy.
She told me to just continue calling her sister.
I am just a sister, at least I am still the most favored kitten.
.......
My sister brought back another kitten and gave it a name.
I was so angry that a cat ate the prey I had hunted for my sister.
Although I caught another one later, I was still very angry!
......
My sister brought back another kitten!
......
Another one!
I found my sister before the next kitten was picked up.
It was stunned for a moment after hearing what I said, and its golden eyes were so bright under the sun that they blinded me.
Its fur seemed to glow, at least in its eyes. Even the black fur was too bright.
Maybe the sun is too bright?
I wondered if there was something wrong with my eyes, but I still stood in front of it, stubbornly refusing to let it leave.
I heard it laugh, look left and right, and then whisper to me.
I am its favorite kitten.
The tone was the same as coaxing a child, but there was no denying that I was very happy, and I wanted all the cats to know it!
I don’t remember what happened afterwards. I just felt dizzy and when I came to my senses, it was already night.
I heard from other cats that I held my head high and walked around with my tail erect the whole day, and I would tell them whenever other cats asked me.
How do you know that I am my sister's favorite kitten?
Other cats have teased me before, saying that if I were not still a kitten.
If they weren't the same gender as my sister, they would have thought I liked her.
I snorted disdainfully and ignored him.
I like my sister, but it's more of admiration than love.
But it is far better than love.
Cats also yearn for light, and my sister is my light.
It was it that raised me and taught me how to survive better.
It was also it that helped me to block the cats that were unwilling to accept foreign cats, allowing me to stay here.
Light has a shape, that is my sister.
But light does not belong to any living thing. It will only shine on creatures that yearn for light.
If there is a creature that wants to possess the light alone, I will fight it.
Even if it's me, I can't do it.
If only more light could shine on me.
......
One day, my sister came back from hunting outside, and she put down the meat in her mouth and pushed it towards me.
Then he looked at me seriously and asked me if I was willing to be adopted.
I asked it what adoption was. It lowered its head slightly, thought for a while, and then told me.
It means going to a new home where you no longer have to be exposed to the wind and rain with it, and where you will be raised by creatures of different species from us.
You don't have to hunt, but you have to stay with the creature at all times.
For example, comfort someone when they are sad, and rub against someone when they are happy.
It would come to see me every few days, and if it was unhappy it would take me back.
The only thing left in my mind was, get out of here.
I still didn't leave. My sister just licked my fur and told me helplessly that she was just letting me choose and she wasn't going to drive me away.
Then, I stayed here.
My sister would leave for a while every night, and the time of leaving and coming back was very fixed.
It thought I didn't know, but whenever I felt the time was about right, I would wait for it in its nest.
Year after year, as I grew up, the small paper nest was replaced by a big one. The only thing that remained unchanged was that my sister still doted on me.
Even though there are other kittens, as long as I pretend they don’t exist, I will still be the most favored cat.
......
The time for tonight has come, but my sister hasn't come back yet. I feel a little uneasy and try to comfort myself.
I was so worried that I walked out of the territory, but I smelled my sister's scent.
It was very faint, but I was very panicked, so I followed the smell and ran towards where my sister went.
I just wanted to go faster and faster, my sister must have just gotten lost.
I will definitely, definitely take it home and follow it everywhere.
Along the way, the moon was covered by clouds and there was not much light.
But from a distance, I saw my sister lying there motionless.
My panic reached its peak, and I ignored my sister's rule that cats cannot meow loudly at night.
I ran over quickly, and the moonlight shone on it.
It’s the same beautiful light as when I saw my sister sleeping in the moonlight all these years.
But this time I didn't feel any warmth at all. It just felt like a basin of cold water was poured on my body, chilling me from head to toe.
It didn't respond as usual, nor did it look up at me.
I moved closer, trembling. My sister's temperature was still as warm as usual, but I could see it very clearly.
My sister is no longer breathing.
The light that had shone through most of my cat life had gone out.
......
When my sister left, I started to imitate it.
From time to time, I pick up kittens from outside and I am not so averse to the kittens I had before.
I don’t really understand why I did this, but I vaguely thought that my sister would be happy when she knew about this, right?
Only a dream interrupted its conjecture. My sister was sitting in a pure white space, filled with all kinds of things I had never seen before.
My sister seemed to have turned into a kitten. She was so cute when she was a child, something I had never seen before.
I walked over and touched my sister carefully, but she seemed very angry.
My sister told me to be myself and just be happy like before.
When it raised me, it didn't expect me to learn from it and then forget what I am like.
Its mouth opened and closed, trying to make me happier when I returned.
I just held it, listened to what it said, and responded from time to time.
Even if my sister turns into a kitten, she is still my sister.
......
I woke up and my sister was not there.
This is how I really feel.
From now on, I will never see my sister again...
......
The crystal beads slid down, and their brightness fell along with them.
A white cat raised its head, its white fur reflecting the moonlight.
"Meow." [I will do my best.]
"Meow." [Sister, please be well too.]
In another time and space, will my sister still be a light to other cats?
No, it doesn't matter.
It only hopes...
My sister can be safe and happy.
