The key was inserted into the keyhole and the door was opened once again. A thin figure appeared in Miao Miao's line of sight.
The dim candlelight illuminated the poor house. The smiling face was facing Miao Miao, who had left the window sill and was standing in front of her, even though the smile looked uglier than crying to Miao Miao.
"I'm sorry, Ake. There were a lot of things to do at school today, so I came back late. I didn't have time to make dinner for you. Wait a moment, I'll make it for you right away.”Lily's voice was hoarse, obviously after choking. However, she still had a smile on her face. The first person she thought of was Miao Miao, who had not eaten dinner yet.
It was said that the children of the poor were able to take care of themselves early. While other children were still playing and enjoying their parents 'embrace, Lily had already started to work to supplement the family. While other children were enjoying the joy of playing, Lily already knew how to take care of others. When other children were still crying over small things, Lily already knew how to force a smile so that the people who cared about her would not worry.
To Miao Miao, he had watched Lily grow up. She was not only his savior, but also his family and sister. Li Li was a child who had been loved since she was young. Therefore, Miao Miao would return the favor tenfold or a hundredfold to anyone who dared to bully her. Today, Miao Miao once again revealed her fangs hidden in the darkness.
"Ah, what a big rabbit. Ai Ke, you're really amazing. You actually managed to defeat a rabbit.”Lily sounded surprised.
Lily did not know the buggy rabbit. Except for a few ordinary hunters, ordinary people rarely saw magical beasts. Besides, even the lowest level of magical beasts were not easy to deal with. Although the buggy rabbit was just prey in Miao Miao's eyes, with the physique of the magical beast and the speed of the buggy rabbit, it could easily break a person's bones.
"Meow ~~" Miao Miao responded.
Dinner was served very quickly. It was only dinner to heat up the leftovers from lunch.
After dinner, Lily went to deal with the rabbit. Lily took out a skinning knife and skillfully peeled off the rabbit's fur without damaging the integrity of the fur. With this piece of fur and the previous one, he could make a warm fur coat in winter.
The rest was cut open, washed, marinated, and finally hung to dry. Lily was very familiar with it. After all, this was not the first time Miao Miao had hunted such prey.
Time passed quickly, and it was already nine o'clock by the time he was done. The remaining time was Miao Miao's favorite time to take a bath. However, Miao Miao was obviously a little distracted today. She did not even enjoy the little loli's caress.
After Miao Miao finished her bath, her body always dried up very quickly with the help of the warm current in her body. But today, the fire elements around Miao Miao seemed to be unusually active, and her body was drying up much faster than usual.
After her bath, Lily sat in the living room, holding Miao Miao in her arms. She stroked Miao Miao's soft fur as she waited for her mother to come back.
Suddenly, Miao Miao felt as if there were water droplets dripping on the tip of her nose. However, it did not rain. Even if it did rain, the house was rather run-down, but it did not leak.
Miao Miao knew the reason even without looking up.
The little loli's tears were flowing down, drop by drop.
"Ake, tell me, what does my father look like? I've never seen him before. Mom said that Dad went to a very far place. Do you think he doesn't want Mom and me anymore?”The little loli's voice was a little choked up, and her tone carried an indescribable sadness.
As far as Miao Miao knew, the little loli had never seen her father. Her father had left the family before Lily was born and had never returned.
Miao Miao didn't know how to answer this question. Even if she could answer, she would only meow. As a cat, the most important thing to do at this time was to rub, rub, rub.
Usually at this time, Lily would talk about what she had seen and heard that day. She would not think about her father's sad things, but it was obvious that what happened today had touched Lily greatly.
It seemed that Miao Miao's gentle rubbing had worked. The little loli quickly stopped crying and wiped her tears away. Then, she revealed a cute smile again.
Not long after the smile appeared, the door of the house opened again. It was her mother who had worked hard all day. Seeing Lily at home and Miao Miao resting on Lily's lap, her mother smiled as if all her hard work was worth it.
"Mommy." Lily put Miao Miao down and gave her mother a loving hug.
"Mom, let me tell you. Ake brought back a big rabbit today. In a few days, we can make three new clothes. This way, this winter won't be as cold as before. Also, in a month, the academy will hold a harvest festival. I plan to go to the forest to pick pear. I'm sure I'll be welcomed.”Lily did not tell her mother about the unpleasant things that happened today. Instead, she told her some happy things.
"This is really good, but it's already very late. You should go to sleep. If you don't sleep, you might be caught and eaten by the werewolves.”Her mother scared Lily so that she could go to bed early. After all, it was important for children to have enough sleep when they were still growing.
"Mom, I'm already grown up. Don't scare me with that story anymore.”Lily said playfully.
"In my eyes, you'll always be that little Lily who won't grow up, but it's really time for you to sleep now.”Her mother rubbed Lily's nose lovingly and said gently.
"Alright, Mom. You should rest early too. Good night.”At this point, Lily could only say goodnight to her mother. She endured the pain from the wound on her leg and pretended to be fine. She went upstairs to sleep happily.
"Meow ~~"
"Good night to you too, Ake." Her mother patted Miao Miao's head and said gently.
After saying goodnight, Miao Miao slowly jumped into the attic. Everything was waiting for the dead of night.
When the entire house fell silent, Miao Miao opened her eyes in the attic. Her red and blue eyes were particularly obvious in the darkness. The fur on her body flickered with a faint red and blue light in the darkness.
Miao Miao nimbly jumped out of the attic and came to the roof. Her cold eyes were staring at the slums at night.
The slums at night were not a good place. Drunkards, street girls, hooligans, all kinds of people could be found here. This was the most chaotic place in Asconte, but also the freest place.
However, Miao Miao's destination was not here, but the cemetery not far from the slums. This place had been occupied by Miao Miao a year ago and became the meeting place for animals in the eastern part of the slums.
" Meow!" A cat's meow broke the peace of the cemetery and tore apart all the pretense.
All the animals in the East District could hear this voice. This voice represented only one thing. Their boss, the head of all the animals in the East District of the slums, was gathering them.
In less than half an hour, the entire cemetery became extremely noisy. All kinds of animals were interacting with each other in the cemetery. Dogs, cats, rats, monkeys, birds, any animal that could be seen in the slums appeared here.
All of this was under Miao Miao's command. All the animals that had succumbed to Miao Miao's tyranny had gathered here, including Er Hei, who had been poisoned every day as an after-meal exercise.
"Meow ~(Who's not here yet?)”
"Woof woof. Boss, all the animals have arrived.）”The one who answered Miao Miao was Er Hei. Although it was an after-meal activity every day, Er Hei's strength was the highest after Miao Miao.
"Meow, meow, meow ~"(I gathered everyone here today not for anything else, I just want to know what happened to my Lily today.）”Miao Miao asked the animals in front of her.
"Reporting to Boss, around four o'clock this afternoon, little master was bullied when he came home from school. Not only did those people insult little master, they even used force on little master. There was even a woman who slapped little master. There was also a vicious woman in a green magic robe who actually injured little master with an ice bullet. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough strength. I was knocked unconscious as soon as I charged forward.”A crow standing on a withered tree said angrily. At the same time, its wings were stained with blood. Clearly, its feet were injured. Needless to say, it must have just been injured.
"Do you still remember what they look like?”Miao Miao looked at the crow and said.
"Of course I remember."
"Very good. Now, go and collect information on these guys. I want to know who these guys are. By this time tomorrow, I have to know the exact information.”
"Understood."
"Now, the meeting is dismissed."
The animals that had come from all corners of the slums had all disappeared. What a joke. Now, Boss seemed to know that something was wrong. He was obviously suppressing his anger. If he did not explain it now, it might become an after-meal activity in the next few days or even months. Last time, Erhei had been beaten up like a sandbag by Boss because he had wiped his Armstrong Spiral Acceleration Cannon while Boss was lecturing him.
