Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 61
Chapter 61: Raccoon Dog! To Combat! 16
He regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. Whether true or false, cats, in his eyes, were the weaker party, and his words were undoubtedly bullying the weak…
Li’er subconsciously held the kitten in her arms tighter, and Liuli resisted the urge to hiss at that person in a show of defiance. She pretended not to understand. After all, the man she had gone to the effort of saving was still protecting her, so she wouldn’t bother with that brute.
Zhou Qingyan didn’t agree, likely considering the feasibility of the proposal, but someone had already brought a bow and arrow.
Li’er, regardless of her status as a servant, knelt down holding the kitten, quickly reviewing her knowledge of cats: “Your Highness, this raccoon dog, whether or not it’s as amazing as described, I don’t know, but from the start of the chaos, this kitten rushed out and protected so many people in the Prince’s Mansion. Regardless, it showed a protective heart.
I’ve heard that cats have very fast reflexes. Attacks from snakes that normal people can’t dodge are slow in a cat’s eyes. Snakes are like toys in a cat’s paws, so it’s possible for the raccoon dog to bat away a falling arrow.
Those guards who exerted effort received a few taels of reward money. The raccoon dog, let alone deserving a reward, shouldn’t have its life gambled with just to test its abilities. ”
With the bow and arrow out, Liuli naturally had to show some response, especially since Li’er was trying so hard to help her resolve the crisis.
Liuli directly hissed at the person holding the bow and arrow to express her displeasure.
Zhou Qingyan gestured for that person to put away the bow and arrow. His gaze towards the raccoon dog held a hint of inquiry. Liuli met his gaze without fear, even with a slightly aggressive defensive posture.
Zhou Qingyan controlled his almost uncontrollable smile. This kitten certainly knew how to pick its grudges. He hadn’t spoken the whole time, yet the score was settled on him. But for some reason, his originally somewhat irritable mood, disturbed by the assassination attempt, calmed down considerably: “You’re right. Get up. When we reach the town tomorrow, I’ll reward the raccoon dog with a steamed fish. ”
At the mention of fish, Liuli’s gaze towards Zhou Qingyan softened.
As for how Zhou Qingyan saw so many emotions on a cat’s face, one could only say the difference before and after was truly significant. Not only did he see it, but Mu Wanyin and Qi Yu saw it too.
Mu Wanyin was somewhat surprised: “This kitten can understand human language? That’s truly amazing. ”
She had once seen a white cat presented by a foreign delegation at the Princess’s place. Its fur was soft, it had dual-colored eyes, and its temperament was gentle. It was much prettier than this fat, strong cat with markings all over its body. However, that white cat could only understand frequently heard words like “eat,” “sleep,” and “play,” unlike this cat, which seemed to fully understand Zhou Qingyan’s words just now.
Qi Yu, on the other hand, was seeing this raccoon dog for the first time. This was the raccoon dog that was supposedly on her roof the day she entered the mansion. She didn’t have such a cat in her previous life…
As for this assassination attempt, she could understand why it didn’t happen in her previous life. After all, in her previous life, Zhou Qingyan had been poisoned and his health was already poor before returning to his fiefdom. He naturally wouldn’t have arranged an assassination attempt on the way.
The raccoon dog’s hiss just now did scare her. They say cats are spiritual. In her previous life, when her soul was wandering, I would be hissed at by cats. I was really scared by them…
“Your Highness, I’m afraid of cats. I want to return to the carriage to rest. ”
After all this commotion, they should continue their journey in over an hour. Zhou Qingyan instructed: “Deputy Commander Wu, arrange it. Those on guard duty continue, the wounded need care, the deceased soldiers will be buried on the spot. Arrange personnel to bring the burial expenses and memorial tablets to their families. Dismiss. ”
Li’er, holding Liuli, breathed a sigh of relief and took the kitten back to their original carriage. However, the exterior of the carriage was somewhat drafty due to the arrow attack. Fortunately, the main structure wasn’t damaged. The young ladies who had their wounds treated also returned to the carriage, leaning on each other and dozing off.
Seeing Li’er return safely with the raccoon dog, the panic of suddenly having someone called away gradually subsided. At this point, no one had the energy to ask about the details: “It’s good you’re back. Rest quickly. ”
Liuli’s resting environment was the best – still her comfortable cat bed. Although sleeping in a carriage with eight people was certainly uneasy – grinding teeth, snoring, shifting positions uncomfortably – they had been traveling this way the whole time, and Liuli was used to it. Sometimes she would even join the snoring.
With tonight’s activity and physical exertion, Liuli slept more soundly than any day since arriving here.
When Liuli woke up, the sun was shining on her rear, and there was noise outside the carriage, clearly indicating they had entered the city.
The carriage was now stopped outside a clinic. After all, the first thing upon entering the city was to send the guards and soldiers who were more seriously injured last night for proper treatment and medicine.
Afterward, they arrived at an eatery. Liuli followed Li’er, blending in with the maids, and could only eat at the eatery. Zhou Qingyan, Mu Wanyin, and Qi Yu, as masters, naturally went to a more upscale restaurant.
However, Mo Shu specifically instructed the eatery’s boss to make Liuli a steamed fish, and the portion must be substantial.
The rest of the journey was very smooth. When they arrived at Nanzhou City, a man led several guards to greet them at the city gate.
The man had a lean face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, three strands of long beard, a turban holding his hair, a plain wide robe, and a feather fan in his hand. Upon seeing Zhou Qingyan’s carriage, he led the others in bowing.
Because of her well-behaved journey, Liuli was currently basking in the sun on the roof of the carriage Li’er and the others were in. Suddenly, she heard a voice from the front: “Welcome, Your Highness, to the city! ”
That voice was as clear and gentle as a spring rain. With excellent eyesight, Liuli could clearly see that the speaker wore clothes with a scholarly elegance, but his figure wasn’t thin. His every move was decisive and quick. He must have some martial arts skills: “Tuánzi, is that Zhou Qingyan’s most trusted strategist? ”
“Yes, Madam. With Jia Yu around, as long as Zhou Qingyan is healthy, Madam can simply relax if you encounter situations requiring brains. ”
“Tuánzi, are you saying I’m brainless? Tuánzi, tell me, who’s smarter, Jia Yu or me? Tell me honestly! ”
Tuánzi didn’t listen carefully when threatened by Liuli. With this kind of question, wouldn’t it be a mistake to not give excessive praise?
The facts proved it was indeed a mistake…
Liuli restrained Tuánzi with her spiritual sense: “So, to praise me, you have to lie, huh! ”
Seeing Tuánzi’s cowardly appearance, Liuli didn’t bother with it: “And yet you still look down on this meow’s intelligence! ”
That being said, Liuli was self-aware. She had some cunning little tricks, but if she were to help Zhou Qingyan plot a power grab, let alone being a cat, even if she were human, she wouldn’t have the brains to help with that.
