Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 303 Bamboo Leaf Dragonfly

Song Ying quickly shook the chicken liver and called softly again: "Mimi, come out quickly, I won't catch you, come out quickly and eat delicious food."

"Meow~"

The kitten meowed in response, but refused to move. Song Ying put the hand holding the chicken liver in, wanting to make the taste of the chicken liver stronger. "Come out quickly, kitten."

At this time, Doctor Lin and Aunt Lian came over.

"Is he in there?" asked Aunt Lian.

Song Ying nodded and stood up to make room. "It's very deep inside. My hands can't reach it."

Aunt Lian shone a lantern around and saw that the kitten was indeed inside. She reached out to grab it, but her hand was out of reach.

Aunt Lian didn't give up. She pressed half of her body against the rock and put her arm in as much as possible. "Hey, I touched it!"

The surprise lasted only a moment, and her brows knitted again, "How can you still shrink in! Mimi, come out quickly."

"Meow~" the cat responded and shrank back even further.

Aunt Lian retracted her hand and took the lantern to shine inside again. She found that it was not deeper. The cat was just curled up tightly and her hand was just a little bit short of it.

Doctor Lin also saw the situation inside and said, "Let me try."

Aunt Lian made way for him and said softly, "Thank you for your help."

Song Ying's eyes widened. What did she hear?

Aunt Lian told people that she was in trouble!

She actually told others that she was in trouble!

In the Shen Mansion, she has always been domineering and overbearing. She didn't even give face to Shen Zhuangyuan and Shun'an County Lady, and she actually told her master that she was in trouble!

Doctor Lin's hand was obviously longer than Aunt Lian's. After he reached in, he quickly touched the cat. The strange smell frightened the cat, and it kept breathing heavily and screaming sharply.

"Mimi, don't be afraid. Doctor Lin won't hurt you." Aunt Lian comforted her softly.

After a while, Doctor Lin took his hand out and shook his head, "No, you can only touch it with your fingertips, you can't grab it. It's too scared. If it continues like this, something might go wrong."

"Something wrong?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Lian became anxious, "What could go wrong?"

"Cats that are in a state of fear for a long time will easily get sick, especially since it's so cold now. Let it relax for a while first." Doctor Lin said as he stepped back.

Aunt Lian knelt on the ground, bent down, almost with her head touching the ground, to check on the cat's condition in the gap. She suppressed her anxiety and coaxed softly, "Mimi, please come out. It's cold inside. You will be frozen if you stay here. Mimi, please come out quickly. You really can't stay outside..."

Unfortunately, she had only had the cat for a few days, and the cat didn't trust her very much and still refused to come out.

Aunt Lian became more and more anxious, and turned to ask, "Do you have any way to get it out?"

Song Ying suppressed his shock, thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't we try to plug the hole with a cloth bag, and then find a wooden stick to poke it? This is how we used to catch rabbits."

Doctor Lin thought about it and decided that it would be good to get the cat back to a familiar environment as soon as possible, so he said, "We can give it a try."

So Song Ying went back to get the cloth bag, and Aunt Lian found a wooden stick in the garden.

Doctor Lin then said to Aunt Lian, "You are its owner, and it is more familiar with you. You come and get the bag, remember to hold it tightly, and close the bag quickly after the cat goes in, and never let it escape again."

Aunt Lian nodded, took the cloth bag from Song Ying, and handed the wooden stick to Song Ying.

Thinking that the cat would scratch its surroundings when frightened, Doctor Lin reached for the stick and said, "Song Ying, give me the stick."

Song Ying didn't think much about it and handed the stick to her, then held the lantern to light the way for them.

Everything was ready. Doctor Lin looked at Aunt Lian and asked, "Are you ready?"

Aunt Lian nodded, and Doctor Lin reached in and knocked quickly on the stone wall next to him.

The loud noise scared the cat so much that it meowed and rushed outside. Feeling the cat rushing into the bag, Aunt Lian quickly grabbed the bag and closed it. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally caught it. Thank you for today."

"It's just a small favor. You're welcome." Doctor Lin replied.

Aunt Lian neatly tied a knot at the mouth of the cloth bag, leaving only a small gap for the cat to breathe, then put the cat down, took off a jasper bracelet from her wrist, and handed it to Doctor Lin, "I heard this bracelet is very valuable, I'm giving it to you as a thank you gift."

Song Ying looked at her hands and was a little surprised. The technique of tying the knots in the cloth bag was so skillful, comparable to that of her grandmother Li.

Whenever Li brought ducks to the county to sell, she would tie a knot in the cloth bag like this, which could prevent the ducks from running out and also prevent them from suffocating to death inside.

How come Aunt Lian also knows how to tie knots like this?

Aunt Lian didn't know the value of the bracelet, but Doctor Lin knew that it was made of the finest Hetian jade and was worth a fortune, so she pushed it back: "No, I'm just doing you a small favor."

Although Song Ying didn't know how valuable the bracelet was, thinking about Aunt Lian's personality, he roughly guessed that she had snatched it from Shun'an County Master and others. Since it was worth her snatching, it must be a very valuable thing.

She couldn't help but be shocked. She didn't know what Aunt Lian was thinking. She had snatched the valuable bracelet with so much effort, but now she was giving it away just to help catch a cat. She really didn't know whether to say that she loved money or not.

Faced with Doctor Lin's refusal, Aunt Lian was very determined and stepped forward to put the bracelet into Doctor Lin's hand. "It's a small favor for you, but it's the biggest favor for me."

As she spoke, she suddenly frowned, lowered her head, moved her feet, and looked at the ground, "What is this?"

Song Ying held the lantern out to shine, and found that it was her bamboo dragonfly that had fallen. Aunt Lian had stepped on it just now. She quickly bent down to pick it up, "It's my bamboo dragonfly. I must have dropped it when I was squatting on the ground to lure the cat out."

She held the lantern pole between her knees, freed her hands to carefully wipe the stains on it, and was about to put it back into her sleeves when she heard Aunt Lian ask, "Can you show it to me?"

Her voice sounded somewhat anxious, which confused Song Ying. He handed the bamboo dragonfly over hesitantly, "It's made of bamboo strips."

Aunt Lian took the dragonfly and looked at it over and over for a long time. She said, "It's really well made. Did you make it?"

Song Ying picked up the lantern and said, "No, I'm not that skillful. I followed my uncle to Daping Village for a medical consultation yesterday, and a sister from Daping Village sent me off."

"Daping Village," Aunt Lian repeated in a low voice, and then asked, "What's the girl's surname?"

Song Ying looked at her strangely and asked what the other person's surname was for. She also wanted one and planned to buy it from someone?

It seems like you don’t need to know someone’s last name when buying something. Do you want to learn how to make it from someone else?
