Acai's Sky

Chapter 412: The cat buyer brought a knife...

Ah Cai had just finished breakfast when Nanny Gu walked in with small steps, bowed and said, "Princess, there's a shopkeeper named Wang who claims to be from the 'Strange Pavilion' and has been waiting outside with his men for a long time..."

"Shopkeeper Wang from the Strange Pavilion? Oh, by the way, I told you before that if they want to sell their cats, they can come directly to the General's Mansion and see me."

Acai suddenly slapped his head and finally remembered it.

She was originally drinking the juice slowly, but now she became a little anxious.

"Let him in quickly, let's go see what his cat looks like..."

About ten minutes later, Manager Wang and a young man walked into the room.

They saluted Ah Cai and said, "May the princess be well and always happy!"

Ah Cai leisurely crossed her feet, waved her hand casually, and responded: "Well, hello to you too!"

Then she asked curiously, "Shopkeeper Wang, are you here to sell cats?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked up at the adorable little cat before him and replied cautiously, "Yes, Your Excellency. However, this time I'm not bringing the original pair of cats, but their kittens. Is that okay with you?"

After saying this, Shopkeeper Wang handed the wicker box to Aunt Gu beside him and introduced, "This is our young master. He learned that you wanted cats, so he specially sent these kittens to you overnight."

Ah Cai squatted down and carefully looked at the several newly weaned kittens in the wicker basket. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "They are so cute, each one is so beautiful!"

She murmured softly, "Two big, fat, round oranges; and two more, I don't know what kind..."

Then, she raised her head and asked Shopkeeper Wang, who was standing beside her, in confusion: "What kind of cat is this?"

At this time, Master Liao gently explained, "The two with orange fur are orange cats, which are usually large and have thick fur. The other one is a Maine Coon, which has a very gentle personality."

Ah Cai frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Aren't there white cats with different eye colors? Why can't I see them?"

Young Master Liao scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Someone bought it last night. And it was a man with a knife. We dare not provoke him."

Ah Cai was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "A man with a knife would also buy a cat?"

Master Liao smiled helplessly and continued, "Yes, he bought more than ten cats at once! And he asked for a pair of each kind."

"Hiss~" Ah Cai took a breath of cold air.

Finally, Acai looked carefully at the kittens in front of her, especially the two fat orange ones, which made her feel like she was seeing the fat boy in the TV series.

I shuddered all over, and I still like the black cat more. I'd better let my grandma raise this fat orange cat!

So, she turned to Master Liao and said, "Do you have any black cats? If so, please give me a pair. As for these, I'll keep them for now."

Young Master Liao shook his head and said that he didn't have such a thing, but if the princess really wanted it, he could ask the cat fairy to help buy a pair for her.

"What the hell...Oh, no, it's the cat fairy?" Acai asked curiously.

Mr. Liao nodded and replied, "Yes, he has been raising cats for many years. He has countless cats at home, and they have all kinds of breeds."

"What are they?" A Cai asked.

Mr. Liao thought for a moment, then said, "There are tabby cats, calico cats, black cats, tortoiseshell cats... and even milk-milk cats!"

"Then give me a pair of black cats first!" Acai said excitedly.

"Okay." Mr. Liao agreed quickly.

...

Ah Cai happily let Aunt Gu carry the wicker box containing the fat orange cub and followed her to Qiu's house.

"Grandma Ann!"

Ah Cai skipped to Old Madam Yun and called out sweetly.

Madam Yun smiled and stroked Ah Cai's bun, saying lovingly, "Why are you here so early today?"

Ah Cai happily took the wicker box and placed it in front of the old lady of the Yun family like a treasure. She opened the box, revealing two big fat orange cubs inside.

"Grandma, these two fat orange cubs are being raised here with you. Please help me take care of them!" Ah Cai looked at Old Lady Yun expectantly.

Madam Yun looked at the pair of adorable orange kittens and said with a smile, "Are these newly weaned orange kittens? They're quite large."

Ah Cai quickly asked, "Do you like it? If not, let's try something else."

Madam Yun gently took the orange cat, stroked its soft fur, and replied with a smile, "I like it. It's a gift from Yue'er. Don't worry, I'll take care of it for you!"

Ah Cai was overjoyed after hearing this, and followed her grandmother happily, watching her carefully prepare food and water for the orange cats, and even build a warm and comfortable nest for them.

Ah Cai left Qiu's house with peace of mind and returned to the general's mansion.

...

When Rong Mama saw Ah Cai and Gu Mama coming back, she immediately went forward to greet them.

She spoke directly, "Miss, the Maine Coon cat has been sent to Madam. Madam said she is feeling better now. You can go visit her now."

Acai didn’t understand that when a person is sick, shouldn’t his relatives be by his side?

Is her mother afraid of infecting her?

"Well, go see her right away! It's really just a cold, but you locked me out and wouldn't let me see her!" After saying that, he hurried out of the house.

The group quickly arrived at the door of Li Bijun's house in the front yard. The maid at the door quickly saluted and said, "Greetings, Fifth Miss."

Ah Cai jumped forward and opened the door: "Mom, I'm here!"

Li Bijun, who was inside the room, heard the voice and smiled. She handed the cup in her arms to Nanny Wei beside her, stood up and walked towards Ah Cai, hugging her tightly: "My dear daughter, I miss you so much."

Ah Cai reached out her little hand and touched Li Bijun's face, saying happily, "Mom, Yue'er misses you too."

Li Bijun looked at Ah Cai, her eyes filled with maternal love, and asked softly, "Yue'er, have you been eating well these days? Have you been listening to Grandpa and Grandma?"

Ah Cai nodded obediently and replied, "Yes, Yue'er is very obedient and eats well every day."

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said a little aggrievedly, "But mother was sick, but she didn't let Yue'er come to visit."

Li Bijun patted Ah Cai's head and explained with a smile, "Silly child, I just had a cold and was afraid of infecting you. But I'm much better now, don't worry."

Ah Cai frowned and said distressedly, "How could you push Yue'er away when Mom was sick? When Yue'er was sick, Mom always stayed by her side."

Li Bijun was moved and hugged Ah Cai, gently comforting her, "My dear, I know you're worried about me. But I don't want you to be troubled by your illness, so I did this. I won't do this again, okay?"

Ah Cai nodded, showing her understanding. Then she turned around, picked up the kettle on the table, poured a cup of warm water, and brought it to Li Bijun: "Mom, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Li Bijun took the cup of water, took a sip, and felt warm and comfortable.

It turned out that Ah Cai secretly added a special pill into the water, which could help Li Bijun recover faster.

Li Bijun didn't know what Acai was thinking. She just felt that Acai was sensible and considerate, and her heart was filled with joy.

She smiled and said to Acai, "Yue'er has really grown up and become more sensible."
