Chapter 1116 Temporary Residence
Dizziness.
She followed a child who was getting ice cream and walked into a community without knowing it.
That ice cream looks so delicious. The snow-white and sweet thousand-story tower is stacked like snow, dotted with bright red cherries. It melts in your mouth when you think about it. It’s so delicious. She swallowed, her stomach growling as she recalled the many high-end ice creams she had eaten over the years.
The child's mother looked at her warily several times, pulled the child, and walked away quickly.
Xia Ling stood there awkwardly, at a loss what to do.
Where should I go and what should I eat?
At this moment, she heard a meow, and a wild cat jumped lightly in front of her and went not far ahead. Not far away is a small open space, where there is an old lady who looks very old. She is hunched over, pouring cat food out of a bag, and looking lovingly at a group of wild cats at her feet.
"Eat, eat," the old grandma smiled lovingly, "You poor little guys, eat more. The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is getting harder and harder to find food. Remember to come here every day, grandma. I bring you cat food every day." The wild cats meowed, and some of them nudged the old lady gently.
The old lady looked very happy. She talked to them for a while and then slowly turned around and left.
Xia Ling looked at the cat food in the open space, and the hungry twitching feeling in her stomach returned. She had raised a cat before, and when she was naughty, she secretly bit into a piece of cat food and tasted it. She frowned and spit it out, but now that she thinks about it, it is a delicacy in the world. Uncontrollably, she moved towards the feeding place of the wild cats. When no one was paying attention, she grabbed a few pieces of cat food and stuffed them into her mouth.
A bit hard, a bit like a biscuit.
It was not very delicious, but the unique aroma filled her mouth, making her eager to eat more.
She reached out to scratch again, but this move angered the wild cats. The cat closest to her roared "meow", showed her claws and scratched her hard. She only felt a pain on the back of her hand, and a long blood streak appeared on her originally soft and delicate skin. "Ah!" She let out a small cry, it was extremely painful.
However, there is not much cat food left on the ground.
She didn't care much. She only knew that if she missed this meal, she wouldn't know where the next meal would be. She grabbed handfuls of cat food with both hands and stuffed it into her mouth in a hurry.
More wild cats were enraged and jumped up and scratched her with their claws. There were cuts on her cheeks and neck. She was about to cry in pain, but she had to endure the pain and continue to grab those things that originally belonged to the wild cats. food. The wild cats refused to give in and wanted to tear this bad woman to pieces for daring to steal food.
Xia Ling used one arm to protect her head and face. The coat on her body was torn several times and she was in a miserable state.
She ate in a hurry, and the wild cats also attacked quickly and intensively. For a moment, she had an illusion, would she be bitten to death by wild cats here today? What a strange way to die...
She thought happily in her misery.
Suddenly, an old voice rang out: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, go away, go away!"
The wild cats jumping on her gradually dispersed, and the pain was no longer so severe. Xia Ling raised her head little by little and saw that the old woman who had just fed the cat had left and returned at some point, lowering her head and looking at her distressedly.
"Whose child is this?" She knelt down lovingly and straightened Xia Ling's messy hair, "Why are you competing with the cat for food here? Good boy, are you hungry?"
Hearing the old lady's kind voice, her tears flowed down and she nodded. “Where is your family?” the old lady asked distressedly.
"I...I have no family anymore." Xia Ling choked and said.
"Oh, what kind of evil are you doing?" The old lady thought for a while, "Girl, it's late today. If you don't mind, why don't you stay at my house for one night? Take a hot bath, and grandma will cook you a meal. delicious."
Xia Ling did not expect that such a good thing would happen to her. Her heart, which had been dejected by being displaced and looked down upon in the past two days, became warm again, and she asked with great hope: "Is it really possible?"
"Why not?" The old lady smiled and led her home, "My wife passed away early, so I live alone. My children only come to visit during the holidays, and I am usually very lonely. That’s why I come to feed the cats every day. They are the only ones who can talk to me. It’s great that you can come to my house.”
Xia Ling felt more at ease now and followed the old lady to her house.
It was a room on the first floor of a residential area. As soon as I entered the door, a strange smell hit my face.
Xia Ling instinctively covered her nose.
The old woman smiled apologetically at her: "The house is a little messy, so make do with it. I have adopted a lot of stray little guys, and there will inevitably be a smell. But don't worry, they are all well-behaved and won't bite you."
Xia Ling then discovered that there were at least a dozen cats in the house, some big and some small, either chasing each other or curling up in a corner of the house to sleep. "So many cats," she marveled quietly.
The old lady said: "These cats are very pitiful. They don't have enough food outside. In winter, they crawl into car exhaust pipes to keep warm. They can easily die. There are always people who abuse cats to catch them. I will take those small, The pregnant ones, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled were all brought back, and some of them were beautiful and cute. They were sterilized and dewormed, and were adopted by kind-hearted people, which was like finding a home for them.”
“You are so kind to them.” Xia Ling said.
She always liked small animals. At this time, she forgot about the hunger in her stomach and squatted down to play with a little milk cat that was only a few months old. The little cat seemed to like her very much. He meowed softly and licked her hand in a friendly way.
Seeing that she was kind to the cat, the old lady was more kind to her. She cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles and served it to her steaming hot: "Eat it while it's hot. See if it suits your taste."
Her cooking is only average. A month ago, Xia Ling would never have eaten it. But now that she had been hungry for two days, she only felt that this bowl of tomato and egg noodles was a rare delicacy in the world. She quickly ate it all and felt much better with food in her stomach. "Thank you." She thanked her sincerely.
The old lady was very happy to see that she loved to eat, and said naggingly: "My daughter loved to eat the noodles I made when she was a child. She can eat a big bowl. Unfortunately, she is married now and has less time to come back. Girl , You can sleep in her room tonight, take a shower and change into her pajamas later."
“Okay.” Xia Ling showed a smile.
This was the first time she smiled since she learned about the engagement news between Pei Ziheng and Wang Jingwan.
For a long time, she just wanted a home. The crystal cage Pei Ziheng gave her was broken. It was not until she moved into the old grandmother's shabby little house that she felt the taste of home.
