Chapter 64: Understanding People's Words
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yong reacted and hurriedly shouted, "Xiaocao, close your eyes quickly, you can't look here!"
If he knew that Captain Black Cat brought him here to see the corpse, he would never let Xiaocao come along no matter what.
Even if the grass blames me!
Xiaocao was not frightened by the man's miserable corpse. It was not known whether she was too young and did not have much understanding of death, or perhaps she had seen too many deaths. She pointed at the buffalo that was leisurely eating grass nearby.
"Grandpa Village Chief, buffalo, whose buffalo is that?"
Xiao Cao's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something, and he said proudly, "Master Cat brought us here. Did you find a lost buffalo here, so you brought us here to send it home?"
"certainly……"
Cheng Yongzheng wanted to deny it, but from the corpse lying next to him, he roughly guessed what happened. It was most likely that the Magic Cat Hero discovered that someone was stealing cattle.
She used force to try to save the cow, but she underestimated her own strength, or perhaps she overestimated the man's strength, which cost him his life.
but.
When he carefully looked at the wounds on the man's body, he found that he might have been wrong, because every move of the Magic Cat Warrior was fatal.
Although I was somewhat frightened by the cruelty of the Cat Warrior, on second thought, what the man did was stealing other people's buffaloes, causing them to lose an important labor force, so no matter how cruel he was, it was acceptable.
He tried hard to convince himself in his heart!
Xiao Cao suddenly spoke up, interrupting Cheng Yong's words, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa Village Chief, there is something moving in that sack. Could it be a monster?"
"Monster, how could it be possible..."
Cheng Yong shook his head. The sack of a cattle thief had things in it most likely stolen from other people's homes. Before he could finish his words, he vaguely heard a child crying from inside the sack.
"what happened?"
Cheng Yong's face changed drastically. He hurried forward and opened the sack. He saw a human child inside, about eight or nine years old. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the child inside trembling and howling bitterly: "Bad guy, you bad guy, my parents will not let you go!"
Xiao Cao said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, our village chief is a good man, not a bad man!"
"Child, I am the village chief of Hutougou. Where are you from? What happened? Can you tell me?"
Cheng Yong suddenly realized that this man not only stole the buffalo but also the child. He immediately understood why the Magic Cat Warrior was so cruel and ruthless, and said with a kind smile on his face.
"Mother, I want mother, I want my mother!"
The boy glanced at Cheng Yong and suddenly burst into tears.
Cheng Yong said: "Child, if you cry again, you won't be able to find your mother!"
The boy stopped crying immediately.
Cheng Yong spoke again: "Child, tell me your name and which village you are from, and I will send you and your buffalo home!"
"buffalo?"
The boy was stunned at first, then turned his head and saw a buffalo leisurely eating grass not far away, as if nothing had happened. He was immediately delighted and hurried over, saying excitedly:
"Buffalo, buffalo you're still there!"
Ever since his parents arranged for him to herd cattle, his parents always told him that he must take good care of their buffaloes, otherwise he would be in trouble.
Cheng Yong watched the boy holding the reins and pulling the buffalo over excitedly, and said, "Kid, now you can tell me, what is your name and which village are you from?"
"Grandpa Village Chief, my name is Yan Wenbai, I'm from Yanjia Village, and my father's name is Yan Jian!"
The boy couldn't wait to ask, "So you are from Yanjia Village!"
Cheng Yong didn't know Yan Wenbo's father Yan Jian, but he knew where Yanjia Village was. It was not far from Hutougou. He couldn't wait to say:
"I'll take you home, and you can tell me what happened!"
"OK……"
Yan Wenbai was extremely happy when he heard this. When he was about to speak, he saw a corpse on the ground out of the corner of his eye. He screamed and was startled. Then when he saw the man's body clearly, the fear on his face was replaced by anger.
He recognized that the body of the man in front of him was the bad guy who kidnapped him and his buffalo!
"Bad guy, bad guy, I'm going to smash you to death!"
Yan Wenbai picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it at the man's body several times before he calmed down his anger.
Cheng Yong then said, "Xiao Yan, stop smashing it. You've been away for so long, your parents won't be able to find you, they will be very worried!"
Yan Wenbai reacted immediately and cried, "Grandpa Village Chief, my parents must be waiting for me to come home for dinner. If they wait for too long, they will go to the stream to look for me. If they can't find me, they will be very sad. Please take me back to our Yanjia Village as soon as possible!"
"Row……"
Cheng Yong was about to agree, but when he saw Xiao Cao beside him, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and changed his words:
"Let's go back to Hutougou first. I'll send this little girl home and then I'll send you to Yanjia Village!"
Yan Wenbai wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he just couldn't say them. When he was about to agree reluctantly, he heard Xiaocao said impatiently:
"Grandpa Village Chief, no need, you should send this little brother home quickly, so that his parents won't wait anxiously!"
Cheng Yong refused: "No, I'm worried about you going home alone!"
Xiao Cao seemed to have thought of something. He smiled with excitement on his face and said proudly, "Grandpa Village Chief, you, the Great Cat Warrior, will take me home!"
"Do not……"
Cheng Yong was about to retort, but before he could finish his words, he saw the Black Cat Constable nodding his head wildly, as if he agreed to send Xiao Cao home, and said with a wry smile:
"Okay, let the Magic Cat Warrior take you home!"
It was only at this point that he accepted the fact that Black Cat Detective could understand human language.
"Ding! Your pet black cat 'Bullcat' and peregrine falcon 'Little Gray' teamed up to rescue a stolen buffalo. Congratulations, you have received the reward: Merit +10!"
"Ding! Your pet black cat 'Captain' and peregrine falcon Xiaohui have joined forces to rescue a kidnapped boy. Congratulations, you have received the reward: Merit +100!"
Two cold, mechanical voices rang in his mind, and Wang Ping'an's eyes suddenly lit up. He was about to call the system to see if, as he guessed, he wanted to upgrade from the proficiency level to other levels.
Just when I was wondering if I needed exactly one hundred points of merit, I heard the excited voice of Xiaocao.
"Master Cat, let's go home!"
Wang Ping'an sighed slightly, knowing that this moment might be one of the few happy moments in Xiaocao's childhood. Moreover, Xiaocao was a first-class enhancer of their Black Cat Catcher, so naturally he had to meet her demands.
Use the skill: Beast Taming to drive the black cat to catch the head and slowly follow Xiaocao.
At the same time, drive the peregrine falcon Xiao Hui to find a new target again!
However, after hearing Xiaocao's endless words, he had no idea where she got so much to say, so he quickly disconnected from the Black Cat Detective.
Before leaving, he gave Black Cat Detective a look that told him to wish him good luck.
