Chapter 1: Nine Stars First Line!
"Xiao Hui! Don't come over!"
There was a sweet and elegant little girl, about thirteen or four years old, with tears in her eyes. Her long hair was entangled with dense bamboo branches, covering her smooth forehead. Her tone was anxious and frightened.
Her anxious hands grasped the thick bamboo pole beside her legs in vain, but her body was strongly sucked in by a dazzling light. She tried hard to get out but was unable to do anything!
A pure black short-haired lion cat, irritably making continuous warning and angry hissing sounds.
While lowering his body in an attack stance, he stared at the little girl in front of him without blinking. He wanted to rush to save her but didn't know how to start.
"Crack!" The bamboo leaves and branches broke as the suction force increased.
The girl shouted desperately: "Leave me alone! Xiao Hui! Run!"
Then I heard a particularly unpleasant "sizzling" sound, and the girl disappeared!
The mane under the neck of the lion cat called "Little Gray" exploded in an instant, and with a hiss, it let out the roar of a lion, and jumped into the light and shadow without any hesitation...
It was an ordinary afternoon. The rain was pouring, and the drops were falling on the bamboo garden in the corner of Shuiluo Park. The bamboo leaves were green and clear.
The leaves are rustling in the wind, lightning and thunder are slowly pushing in from the distant horizon, and the surroundings are quiet and gentle.
Reports of nine-star meteors also made the park seem deserted and lonely.
Lan Keman held a small blue umbrella and strolled casually on the path next to the bamboos. There were no tourists on the quiet stone road.
She already likes rain. Rainy days make her feel a faint indescribable happiness. She can't explain it clearly, but she just likes it, and she likes it very much!
Besides, there is a cat waiting for her to feed!
Keman walked a few steps worriedly, wondering if Xiao Hui's nest had been wet by the rain or blown by the wind.
As she approached the nest, she whispered a few times, "Xiao Hui! Xiao Hui! Come out quickly! I brought you dried fish!"
But Xiao Hui, who was supposed to jump out happily, did not appear. Ke Man got into the bamboo forest worriedly, shouting as she walked deeper.
This park is shaped like a crescent moon and was a municipal project to benefit the people.
The park covers a huge area and has many unique botanical gardens.
The most famous one is the Bamboo Garden, which covers the largest area. The corner of the crescent moon is used to create a very deep and deep bamboo garden, which makes the more than ten acres of Bamboo Garden extraordinarily quiet and has a bit of a "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" flavor.
"Woo!!!" Keman suddenly heard the familiar angry roar of Xiao Hui.
She was immediately sure it was Xiao Hui. She had been feeding it for several years and was very familiar with its voice, especially its roar.
Because when they were together in the past, whenever other cats or dogs passed by, Xiao Hui would roar like this, as if he didn't want her to be discovered and snatched away by other cats and dogs, and announced to her like a lion.
Sovereignty!
Ke Man also wanted to adopt her, but Ke Man found that Xiao Hui didn't want to go home with her at all. He only liked this bamboo forest and waited for her arrival here. It seemed that this was their unique space to get along.
Moreover, Xiao Hui only allowed her to stroke the top of her head, and even exposed her belly for her to scratch. When Ke Man scratched her, Xiao Hui squinted his eyes and trembled, as if he couldn't help laughing.
There was another little girl who was very surprised after seeing Xiao Hui and said:
"Wow! Look, what a handsome pure black cat! It even has a mane on its neck!"
As he said this, he wanted to touch the top of its head, but to his surprise, Xiao Hui ducked away with a "swish" and even leaned down in an angry posture as if he was about to attack!
It clearly seems to be saying:
"Go away! Stay away from me! Don't touch me!"
That scene made Keman, who was squatting next to the little gray nest reading a book, burst into laughter. He called it and scolded it a few times, saying that he was not allowed to be cruel to the little sister.
Xiao Hui ran over gently and sat at her feet...
"Woo!!!——"
Xiao Hui's roar became even more angry. Ke Man stumbled and walked a few steps inside. She was stunned to see a dazzling light not far from Xiao Hui.
This light was silent and strange, and from time to time it had the shape of lightning-like electric current. Behind the light was a deeper bamboo forest and a dilapidated factory wasteland that had been demolished into ruins and not yet greened.
Then Ke Man was even more shocked and anxious to discover that the reason why Xiao Hui made a roaring hissing sound and did not leave quickly was because a thin and tough bamboo branch with dense bamboo leaves was entangled in one of Xiao Hui's legs.
There is also a twig on its front legs that seems to be wrapped around its neck, and it is getting tighter and tighter as it retreats.
Ke Man quickly walked through and threw away the closed umbrella in her hand. Her hair was already wet and stuck to her forehead and cheeks. She comforted Xiao Hui with one hand and tried to pull away the bamboo branches from Xiao Hui's body with the other hand.
"Yeah!" Ke Man tried hard to use both hands to tear apart the tightly entangled thin and tough bamboo branches and knotty bamboo leaves. You can imagine how long Xiao Hui struggled to escape, but in the end he was still entangled in the messy bamboo branches.
Why can't you pull it apart? Ke Man was worried, seeing Xiao Hui getting more and more irritable and frightened, as if what he saw was not the light, but the dark cat hunter, and then sent to the kitchen of the dark little restaurant where the wild cats were collected!
Ke Man felt very distressed and anxious. She looked at Xiao Hui and murmured comfort:
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Xiao Hui! I'll get it out of the way for you right now."
As she squatted down for a while, stood up and fiddled with Xiao Hui, Lan Keman didn't even notice that she had stepped into another patch of white light close to the ground.
Instantly, the light she stepped on exploded, directly attracting the light behind it, and it also made a "sizzling" sound.
The bamboo branches, leaves and bamboo poles that were sucked in by the light suddenly squeezed tightly onto Ke Man's body, even tangled Ke Man's hair in the bamboo forest, and Ke Man couldn't help but let out an "ah" sound.
Ke Man panicked and forgot to call for help for a moment. Besides, in this weather, at this time, in this dense bamboo forest, no one might hear her call.
Moreover, Keman discovered that when she was entangled, the strength of the bamboo branches on Xiao Hui's body suddenly seemed to be much weaker. Because of its anxiety, it struggled and broke away.
However, the power of the instantaneously enhanced light sheet was too strong. As soon as Keman thought about it, she found that she was about to be sucked in!
She shouted to Xiao Hui in horror:
"Don't come over here, squat down!"
She looked at Xiao Hui's anxious eyes and seemed to see despair. She could no longer hear Xiao Hui's roar. In a flash, she only had time to shout:
"Xiao Hui! Run!"
…………
"Cousin! Cousin! What's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up quickly!"
"Shaking like this! It's terrible!"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
The bed in a very luxurious room was densely packed with people of all kinds.
A rather pretty girl crawled beside the bed and cried. Beside the bed sat a woman with beaded hair, holding the hand of the person on the bed with both hands while pleading with her words sincerely.
The boys and girls dressed as servants in the back were also like crows, whispering.
"What's wrong with this prince? Why is he so ill this time? And he's suddenly shaking like this!"
"But why is the prince curled up like this when he is lying down? He looks a bit like a cat?"
A young girl asked the sister next to her in an outspoken voice.
"Shut up! Do you want to die?!"
The elder sister quickly covered her younger sister's mouth and looked in horror at the man who huddled up into a ball, trembling and moaning and roaring like "Woo! - Wu -!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The doctor is here!"
"Doctor Wang, please come quickly!
Doctor Wang, please! You must save our prince! He doesn’t know what happened suddenly?!"
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler anxiously led the royal physician in the palace towards the prince's bed.
"Today afternoon, the prince was walking next to the bamboo forest at home. He always likes this bamboo forest after the rain. We were worried about his health, so we specially put on clothes and an umbrella for him, but he roared back! You know the temper of our prince, and we also
Don’t dare to use force.”
The butler shed tears as he spoke, "It's all my fault. If I had to follow him even though I was scolded, I wouldn't be like this! If he was half bad, how could I be worthy of the dead old prince!"
Doctor Wang was always a steady person. He just listened and said nothing. He hurried from the corridor to the bedside of the bedroom, wiped his hands with a dry towel, took the cold and slender hand that was curled up in a ball, and placed his fingers on the wrist.
Everyone in the room fell silent for an instant, no one dared to breathe loudly.
Doctor Wang lowered his wrists and frowned more and more, then changed his other hand, and finally put both hands on the prince's wrists at the same time, looking surprised!
After a long time, Dr. Wang stood up and did not write a prescription. He just said to the housekeeper calmly: "Please take a step to speak."
The housekeeper immediately stood up and respectfully greeted Dr. Wang to another secluded guest room down the corridor.
Dr. Wang sat down silently. The butler waved in a child to serve tea and then left quietly. Then the butler suppressed himself and sat down on the seat on the other side of the table.
"Manager Liu, the prince's illness is very strange. His pulse is strong and stable, but he does not wake up. And the strangest thing is that his pulse beats slightly faster than normal, and his body temperature is also high, but there is no sign of wind or cold.
It's more like his body has received a lot of tonic, which makes him different from ordinary people, but he doesn't have the blood flushing symptoms after a lot of tonic. I wonder if he was given a lot of century-old ginseng recently?"
"Nothing!"
"This is surprising! But there is no need to bother Manager Liu too much. The prince's health should be fine, or it is possible that he was frightened. Is there something in the bamboo forest that frightened the prince?"
"The prince is very afraid of snakes. Could it be that the prince encountered a big snake in the bamboo forest? But it shouldn't be. We spread realgar wine in the bamboo forest every day, just for fear that a snake would enter the bamboo forest without anyone checking and startle the prince!" Butler Liu was anxious.
explained.
