Chapter 226 Meow Meow Meow
In the blink of an eye, Lu Shi'an put down his pen, rushed over, and grabbed his book bag.
Master Lin was so startled by his sudden action that his heart skipped a beat, his lips tightened, and his gaze darkened.
"Lu Shi'an, what are you doing now?"
"Master, the wind blew my book bag over here, hehehehe—"
Master Lin looked at the large pine tree outside that remained completely still, then turned back to look at Lu Shi'an.
You little brat, just make this up!
"Master, I'm getting old, and my eyesight is failing a bit. But I'm not blind!"
Lu Shi'an: ......
"What's in the book bag?" Master Lin glanced at the bulging book bag in his arms.
Master Lin fanned himself with his book, wiped the sweat from his brow, and waited for Lu Shi'an's reply. It was truly a hot day!
"It's nothing, I just brought an extra coat because I was worried it would be cold in the classroom." Lu Shi'an was sweating profusely, and he wished he could bite off his own tongue. What kind of nonsense was he spouting?
He Wuyou and He Wuyang's lips twitched when they heard his explanation.
You say it's hot in this sweltering heat?
Master Lin glared at him irritably: "Is it really clothing?"
“...Yes!” Lu Shi’an replied hesitantly.
Just as he finished speaking, the little tabby cat poked half its head out of the book bag, its pointed ears, round head, and emerald green eyes fixed on Master Lin.
"Meow--"
Master Lin's expression turned cold, and he grabbed the cat inside and walked out.
Lu Shi'an, He Wuyou, He Wuyang: Our little flowers!!!
Upon returning, Master Lin glared angrily at Lu Shi'an: "Playing with toys is a waste of your ambition! Playing with toys is a waste of your ambition! I won't spank your hands today, but you're punished to wear two sets of clothes to school tomorrow!"
Lu Shi'an heard the teacher's punishment of him: Huh??
I'd rather get a good slap on the hand!
......
A few days later, He Wuyang, who had just returned home from school, discovered that he had left his copy of the Thousand Character Classic in Master Lin's schoolhouse.
He Wuyou and Lu Shi'an accompanied her to get it.
They soon arrived at the Master's house, where they witnessed a scene that left them speechless.
Master Lin sat with his back to them, affectionately holding the tabby cat, and occasionally lowering his head to rub his forehead against the cat's head, even mimicking a cat's meow in a high-pitched voice.
"Meow—meow—meow—"
He Wuyou and the others at the door exchanged glances and quickly hid to the side, only peeking out three small heads to continue watching.
It seems that Master Lin also likes Xiao Hua quite a bit.
They thought that Master Lin had thrown them out that day, but it turns out that he had secretly kept them.
Finally, He Wuyang mustered up her courage and knocked on the half-closed door: "Teacher, I left my book in the school."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Master Lin immediately shooed the cat off his lap, but carefully controlled his strength so as not to hurt it.
He cleared his throat, trying to hide his guilt at being caught by the students, and said in a serious tone, "Go get it. Don't be so forgetful in the future."
The little tabby cat rubbed against Master Lin's feet, straightened its two hind legs, and tried to climb up.
"Go away, go away—" Master Lin frowned and lightly kicked it away with his foot.
The kitten didn't give up and pawed at it again.
"Go away, go away—" he pushed away again.
The tabby cat rolled on the ground, seemingly finding some amusement, and then pounced again.
Looking at the two children at the door, a sense of guilt crept up on Lin Fuzi, afraid that they would find out that he liked the cat.
They definitely didn't see it! He thought to himself.
He Wuyang quickly retrieved the book, and the three of them bid farewell to the teacher and departed one by one.
After the group left, Master Lin looked towards the door for a moment. Once he was sure they were far away, he was overjoyed and hugged the tabby cat back into his arms.
As everyone knows...
Outside the door, the three children returned.
A small head.
Two little heads.
Three little heads.
Three little heads peeked out again, watching Master Lin in the yard, engrossed in playing with the cat.
"Old man, come and cook!" a voice came from inside.
"Hey! Coming!" Master Lin called out loudly, but refused to let go. "Let's go, let's go cook!"
The three children exchanged a glance, then covered their mouths tightly to stop themselves from laughing.
After they got home, they recounted the amusing stories about Master Lin at the dinner table.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Mother He never expected that the seemingly rigid teacher would also have a childlike side.
Ye Xiaoxiao had already witnessed Lin Fuzi's arrogance, so she wasn't surprised to hear that he was secretly teasing the cat; it was very much in line with his personality.
He Jing felt that it was only natural to like cats and dogs, just like he liked his cat, Xiao Hei, at home.
Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered something: "I wonder if Madam Wu's back pain is any better. I got some medicine for her last time, I'll go check on her again tomorrow."
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a rapid knocking on the door.
He Jing put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go open the door. Don't come out."
The knocking grew more urgent with each knock. He Jing opened the door and saw a woman who looked extremely anxious.
"Save my child! Save my child!" The woman's face was pale, and her voice trembled slightly.
Hearing the sound, Ye Xiaoxiao quickly came out.
Upon seeing the woman at the door, he knew she was Widow Luo, who lived next door.
Without having time to ask any questions, Ye Xiaoxiao asked Widow Luo to lead the way.
Widow Luo hurried along, taking two steps at a time, afraid of being even a fraction too late.
Ye Xiaoxiao followed her to the room, where she saw a boy about the same age as He Wuyou rolling around on the bed, clutching his stomach.
"Mother! Mother! It hurts so much!"
Large beads of sweat appeared one after another. He clutched his stomach tightly with his hand, the churning pain inside making him feel excruciating.
"Little River! Mother has brought you a doctor, don't be afraid!" When Widow Luo saw her son's pale and bloodless face, her heart ached, and she wished she could take his pain away from him.
Ye Xiaoxiao reached out to take Xiaohe's pulse and gently pressed his stomach.
"Has he been having stomach pains for the past few days?"
Widow Luo nodded.
"I've been complaining of stomach aches for the past few days, but they usually go away after a while. I don't know why it's hurting so badly today."
"What special thing did you feed him today?" Ye Xiaoxiao asked again.
"No, just the usual stuff—oh right, I gave him a bowl of talisman water to drink today."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly: "Talisman water?"
Widow Luo nodded.
"A sorceress came to town, selling talismanic water that could cure all diseases for only three coins. I heard it was very effective, so I bought some to give to—"
Before she could finish speaking, Widow Luo's eyes widened immediately. Could it be that she was the one who harmed the child?!
She immediately brought the remaining half packet of talisman medicine over to show Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Dr. Xiao, look, this is it! I didn't dare to give him the whole thing, so I only put half of it in."
