Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 302 Looking for a cat

Recalling the past, Doctor Ma talked incessantly and toasted Doctor Lin with one glass after another. In the end, he got drunk. Doctor Lin also drank a lot, but in comparison, he was still quite sober.

After the meal, the moon was already above the willow trees. Fortunately, the Shen family had sent another coachman to wait outside.

Song Ying helped Doctor Lin get on the carriage and asked the driver to take Ma Dada and Lin Wenxuan back to the clinic. After they got off the carriage, she lifted the curtain and reminded him, "Brother, remember to heat up the hangover soup before giving it to Uncle."

"Got it. You can go back without worry. Remember to support your aunt. She just looks like she's not drunk."

Song Ying nodded and ordered the carriage to go back.

The carriage was a little bumpy, which was not a big deal at ordinary times, but today Doctor Lin had drunk a lot of wine and felt very uncomfortable. He finally endured it until he got to Shen's house. When he arrived at the gate, he asked the driver to stop and said, "Let's stop here and walk back by ourselves."

They had already arrived at the mansion, and the coachman was not worried that something might happen to her and that Princess Shun'an would blame her, so he drove the carriage to the stable.

Song Ying supported Doctor Lin and walked slowly, and asked with concern as they walked, "Master, are you feeling better?"

Doctor Lin nodded. "You don't need to support me. I feel much more awake after the cold wind. I don't need anyone to support me."

"Master, let me hold you. There might be ice on the ground." Song Ying was not willing to let go at this time, so he held her arm tighter.

Doctor Lin was amused. "When did you listen to Wenxuan so much? He is just worrying about nothing."

Having said that, Dr. Lin was in a good mood, and it was obvious that he was very touched by their concern.

Soon they turned into a small garden and went around it, arriving at the courtyard where the master and disciple lived. At this moment, Song Ying heard someone calling something.

The pale moon cast large shadows on the trees. When the wind blew, the branches swayed, and the shadows moved and swayed with them, like twisting ghosts swallowing up the brightness.

Although Song Ying was not as afraid of ghosts as Luo Yanxing and Song Tian, she was also afraid of them. What's more, she had just seen a dead person last night, and she helped his wife to conceal the truth about his death.

Faced with this scene, Song Ying couldn't help but swallow his saliva and leaned closer to Doctor Lin.

"It's a bit hot, don't get so close."

Doctor Lin hadn't noticed her nervousness yet, so he pushed her aside. At this moment, the previous whirring sound became clearer, "Mimi!"

Song Ying was so scared that he hugged Doctor Lin and asked stutteringly: "Master, did you hear any sound?"

Doctor Lin then realized that she was afraid. She laughed and said, "I heard it. Someone must be looking for the cat."

"Cat?" Hearing this answer, Song Ying was no longer afraid. She thought carefully and didn't remember anyone keeping a cat. "Does the mansion still keep a cat?"

"Years ago, the palace gave the old lady a reward, which included two royal cats. Miss Seven loves cats, so the old lady gave her one. She was planning to keep the other one for herself, but when Aunt Lian found out, she wanted to take it away."

Song Ying was already numb to Aunt Lian's behavior, and his attention was focused on the cat. "And the royal cat?"

"Of course. We have a kind of cat with white raccoon in Jinchuan, which is also a royal cat. They have four ears and are very good at catching mice. But the cats sent by the palace this time are two pure white lion cats with blue eyes."

Song Ying was curious, "Lion cat? What does it look like?"

She had only seen a tabby cat, a cat with a combination of raccoon and white, and could barely imagine what it looked like, but she had no idea what a lion cat looked like.

"Go see Miss Seven some other day. She has long hair that drags on the ground, sits like a lion, and looks like an immortal. She is very beautiful!"

As they talked, the calling sounded again, getting closer and clearer.

Song Ying stopped asking and asked curiously, "It seems that there is only one person calling. Could it be that the person who is taking care of Miss Seven's courtyard accidentally let the kitten escape?"

So should they leave now, or help with the search?

Before she could figure out what was going on, a ball of white darted past from under the tree opposite them. It was so fast and the light was so dim that Song Ying couldn't see it clearly at all. She just felt that it was very big, much bigger than an ordinary cat.

"Master, was that a lion cat just now? It was so big!"

"Yes, lions are bigger than other cats."

As soon as Doctor Lin finished speaking, a figure emerged from the shadows and asked, "Where did you see the cat run to?"

Song Ying was stunned when she saw the person asking the question. It turned out to be Aunt Lian!

To be honest, she felt that it was much more reasonable for Seventh Miss to look for the cat quietly in the middle of the night than for Concubine Lian to look for the cat alone. Shouldn't Concubine Lian's actions have been known to everyone and caused unrest among the whole family?

Doctor Lin was also stunned for a moment, then pointed ahead and said, "He ran towards the rockery over there."

"Thank you." After saying that, Aunt Lian hurriedly went to the rockery over there, pulling down branches and grass from time to time, calling Mimi softly.

Song Ying was dumbfounded. Aunt Lian actually thanked people. It was really like the sun rising from the west!

"Let's go, let's go and help look for her." Doctor Lin said. Now that they had met her, there was no reason not to help. It was late at night, and it would take time for one person to find her.

Song Ying nodded, then checked each rockery and started searching.

Hearing the sound of meowing behind her, Aunt Lian turned around to look at them, said nothing, and continued to search.

The three of them searched the rockery thoroughly but still couldn't find it.

It was too dark. Even with the lanterns and the moonlight, they still couldn't see clearly. After thinking for a moment, Doctor Lin said, "Song Ying, go to the kitchen and get some chicken or duck liver."

After a pause, he added, "As long as it's liver, it'll be fine. If there's no liver, just use other internal organs."

Song Ying remembered that cats and dogs are very sensitive to fishy smells, and the smell of internal organs is very strong. She understood what she meant and ran to the kitchen.

There was a lot of internal organs in the big kitchen. Song Ying took three chicken livers and gave one to Doctor Lin and Aunt Lian respectively. Then the three of them continued searching while carrying the chicken livers.

The fishy smell of chicken liver soon reached the cat's nose. When passing a rockery, Song Ying heard a meow from inside. She stopped, shone a lantern around, and found a gap where the cat's meow came from.

It was pitch black inside, and Song Ying still couldn't see what the cat looked like. But under the light of the lantern, he could see two eyes that were bright enough to be enchanting and creepy.

"Master, Aunt Lian, come quickly, the cat is here!"

After shouting, she took the chicken liver to the entrance of the hole to let more fishy smell come in.

"Meow~meow~"

Accompanied by a series of increasingly urgent meows, the cat came out from inside. Seeing that it was almost at the entrance of the cave, Song Ying quickly reached out to grab it.

Unexpectedly, the cat became alert and shrank back the moment she stretched out her hand.
