The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 652: The Cat That Destroys the House_1
"I can’t do this anymore, Qingzi, I just can’t. Let’s switch," Tian Yue’e called out.
"No way, unless you agree to a free-for-all. Otherwise, I’m sticking with you all night," Li Qing said with a wicked grin.
Thinking he could manipulate her? Wait and see who ends up manipulating whom.
"Even if I agree it’s no use, you have to get their agreement too," Tian Yue’e said, "Ah... that feels so good."
"Qingzi, you might as well accept the bet and give us some time to adjust," Han Mei suddenly spoke up. "After all, it’s everyone’s first time like this; we’re bound to be a little uncomfortable."
With sister-in-law speaking up, Li Qing had no choice but to comply obediently.
He might be able to intimidate or tempt Tian Yue’e, but there’s absolutely no way to do so with sister-in-law.
"Fine," Li Qing agreed somewhat helplessly. "Who’s next then?"
"You pick. We’ll give you that privilege," Han Mei said shyly with a smile.
"Do me next, let’s wrap this up quickly so I can go play with Yue’er," Qin Wenjun said as she lay down beside them.
Li Qing, as if completing a mission, switched to another and continued.
The situation today seemed like a free-for-all, but it wasn’t at all.
It was more like ticking off tasks in a military muster.
While he was at it, everyone else just watched, not moving an inch, which really took away much of the fun.
...
The next day.
Li Qing emerged alone from the bed.
The women in the house were incredibly principled; if they said it was going to be a rotation, that’s exactly what it would be, no room for negotiation.
After everything last night, they all went to sleep in the other two rooms.
Leaving Li Qing alone.
As exciting as the night had been, the sleep was just as lonely.
Though there was some truth to what sister-in-law had said about adjusting.
But leaving him all alone without even someone to warm the bed was really a bit too much.
He got dressed and stepped out, a chill immediately hitting him as he did so.
The ground was covered in a layer of glistening frost, with mist winding around the distant mountains.
As the weather grew colder, Li Qing began to worry whether his house would have its frame up before the bitter winter arrived.
Hopefully it would, he prayed silently and washed his face before heading into the kitchen.
He planned to make a congee with century eggs and lean pork for the women who had worked hard last night.
He had just finished washing the rice and was about to put it in the pot when a sharp scream suddenly came from the east room.
It was Qin Wenjun’s voice!
Li Qing dropped the rice and dashed into the east room in two quick strides.
"What’s happened?"
On the big bed in the east room, Qin Wenjun and Tian Yue’e clung to each other, naked and curled up, both pairs of eyes staring straight at the mess of clothes and a wardrobe that had been pulled apart into planks, with the clothes torn into strips and scattered all over the floor.
"Did you two have a fight last night?" Li Qing asked in shock.
"What are you talking about? I just opened my eyes and saw this mess, scared the hell out of me," Qin Wenjun said.
Li Qing squatted to take a closer look at the wooden planks scattered on the floor, his brow instantly furrowed.
It was that damned cat’s doing again.
"It’s nothing, don’t worry," Li Qing said.
"Qingzi, do you know what’s going on here?" Tian Yue’e asked.
"This time when I went out, I encountered an extremely strong cat. If nothing unexpected happened, it must’ve been its doing," Li Qing said in annoyance.
This thing just doesn’t know when to stop, does it?
All I did was steal a little bit of its food, and look at the mess it made. It’s like it wants to tear the house down.
"Qingzi, stop kidding me. How could a cat possibly do something so terrifying? This closet is made of solid wood, and you’re saying a cat did this?" Qin Wenjun said disbelievingly.
Li Qing gave Qin Wenjun a solemn glance, "You’ve seen your share of unbelievable things, so why is this so strange? At the very least, a cat is easier to accept than a tree, right?"
Qin Wenjun’s face changed slightly as she suddenly remembered the night she had fallen into Li Qing’s hands.
It seems indeed...
"What are you guys talking about?" Tian Yue’e asked curiously.
"I’m saying, there are a lot of inexplicable and hard-to-believe things in the world. It’s not that they don’t exist," Li Qing said.
"It was a cat that did this, just a rather special one."
Tian Yue’e’s brow furrowed fiercely, "I still don’t understand what you mean."
Li Qing thought for a moment and then said, "You should have heard about animals that have worshipped in front of Buddha and are said to have become enlightened? It’s pretty much like that. Some animals are just more special and have extraordinary spiritual qualities."
Tian Yue’e was still clearly skeptical and muttered, "This cat is a bit too terrifying, to be able to destroy a closet..."
Li Qing pinched the bridge of his nose, considering that for that cat, this little task was probably just a bit of a stretch.
But allowing this cat to keep wreaking havoc isn’t a solution.
Stealing clothes last time was probably a warning.
This time it started to destroy the house. It’s clear that the cat is angry.
"Do you think there’s a way to catch a cat?" Li Qing mumbled to himself.
"Probably only by using drugs or a net," Tian Yue’e said.
Using a net should not even be considered; it definitely won’t work.
A regular net would be torn to shreds with just a swipe of its paw.
Moreover, what Li Qing was really worried about now was finding where the creature was hiding.
If he could find it, Black Arrow might pose some threat to the cat.
"It’s okay, let’s just get up first; I’ll clean up in a bit," Li Qing said.
Qin Wenjun pouted, "Do you see if we have any clothes to wear now?"
Li Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, "Ah, how the tables have turned, it seems it’s my turn to be in charge now."
"Come on, you two pamper me, and I’ll go find you clothes."
"You really hold a grudge, don’t you," Tian Yue’e laughed, "I’m definitely out, I’m swollen again. You deal with Wenjun. She was restless all night, tugging at me, licking and prodding, making me uncomfortable for a long time. She certainly hasn’t been satisfied yet."
"Stop messing around, I’m swollen too. I just wanted to have some fun with a woman, see how petty you are," Qin Wenjun immediately said.
Li Qing swiftly removed his clothes and jumped into their quilt.
"Either way, you two figure it out. Otherwise, we might as well just sleep like this."
Tian Yue’e laughed helplessly, "With the house like this, you still feel like continuing with us?"
"What’s the problem? I know what did this, and as soon as I come up with a way to catch it, everything will be fine," Li Qing said.
The usual methods definitely won’t work.
He planned to find his cheap master later to see if he had any good ideas.
"Then let’s do this, I’ll use my mouth on you, and then you go for Wenjun’s back door. She kept asking me to use my fingers last night," Tian Yue’e said with a laugh.
