Chapter 66: Borrowing the Divine Cat Hero

Yan Jian's wife suddenly spoke up, saying, "Old Master Wang, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should or not!"

Just say it!

Wang Lin said.

"Old Master Wang, I want to borrow your Divine Cat Hero for a bit. You don't know—although we also keep raccoon cats, the rats in our granary are extraordinarily arrogant; even though we patrol three times a day, we can't stop them, and the grain in the granary is being stolen by rats!"

Yan Jian's wife let out a slight sigh, her face full of envy, and said: "Of course, I know the Divine Cat Hero isn't something I can command; I still need Old Master Wang to help, to send the Divine Cat Hero over. What do you think?"

"Borrow the Divine Cat Hero?"

Wang Lin was first startled, then realized he had originally thought Yan Jian's wife would ask about the Divine Cat Hero's offspring; this sort of thing has happened often in Hutou Gou recently, not knowing how much saliva he has wasted on it.

He had originally been preparing how to refuse when Yan Jian's wife made this request, not wanting to be too stiff, after all, who lets others have leverage over them?

However.

No one could have imagined that Yan Jian's wife's request would actually be to borrow the Divine Cat Hero.

Seeing Wang Lin silent, Yan Jian's wife assumed he was unwilling, and said disappointedly: "Old Master Wang, sorry, I shouldn't have made this request, putting you in a difficult spot!"

"No, no, no..."

Wang Lin was about to explain a few sentences, but before he could finish, Zhang Guihua glared at him and spoke first:

"Yan Jian's wife, look at what you're saying—if you were asking for the Divine Cat Hero's offspring, we might not be able to."

After all, we don't even know when the Divine Cat Hero has offspring.

But you just want to borrow the Divine Cat Hero to go to your home to deal with the rats in your granary—that's completely fine, right, old man?

As the saying goes: "Take someone's hand and you'll be soft; eat someone's food and you'll be short." Yan Jian's wife had just given them a basket of cured meat, which, although it carries a huge favor.

It is a lifesaving favor to their children and their water buffalo.

But no matter how you say it, a basket of cured meat is not a small gift; it's not easy for them to make a request in front of him, and it's not an impolite one either—how could they possibly refuse casually?

"Yan Jian's wife, you might have misunderstood my meaning just now; I'm just a bit embarrassed—it's not that we don't want to lend you our Divine Cat Hero, we just don't know when it will return."

Wang Lin explained in a sentence, just like his own wife—if they were asking for the Divine Cat Hero's offspring, he might find it difficult, but just wanting the Divine Cat Hero to visit their home once is no problem at all.

"It's fine, Old Master Wang; we can wait—whenever the Divine Cat Hero returns, we'll go back then!"

Yan Jian's wife said eagerly.

As long as it can solve the rats in their granary, let alone waiting a day—even waiting a night, or three days and three nights, she would be willing to wait.

"Like this..."

Wang Lin was about to speak, but before he could finish, he heard Yan Wenbo's exclamation.

"The Divine Cat Hero, it's the Divine Cat Hero!"

All that could be seen was a cat with jet-black fur, like coal, strolling in leisurely from outside, lying down at Liu Dongzhu's feet, lifting its head to look flatteringly at Wang Ping'an, then casually lying down.

Wang Lin's face twitched slightly; he had just said earlier that their Divine Cat Hero only returns at night, never expecting to be contradicted so quickly.

Wang Ping'an secretly smiled; it was naturally this good grandson of his who had caused his grandfather to be contradicted.

When Yan Jian's wife proposed borrowing their family's constable to go to her home and deal with the evil rats in the granary, he used his skill: Beast Taming, to drive the Black Cat Constable back home at the fastest speed.

It wasn't an outburst of kindness on his part, but rather his capitalist spirit acting up.

Having the Black Cat Constable rush to Yan Jian's home to hunt the rats in their granary not only earns merit, but also expands his hunting grounds.

Preparing in advance for future visits to Yan Family Village! Although Wang Lin felt a bit embarrassed, he still said: "Yan Jian's wife, since our Divine Cat Hero has returned, just take it away!"

"Is this the Divine Cat Hero?"

Looking at the Black Cat Constable lying at Liu Dongzhu's feet, a flicker of disappointment flashed deep in Yan Jian's wife's eyes; the cat was entirely jet-black, like coal, utterly ordinary, completely unworthy of the title Divine Cat Hero.

She seriously doubted whether their family's Wenbo had truly been saved by this black cat before her.

However.

Recalling Cheng Yong's identity, he had repeatedly assured them in front of them that the one who saved their family's Wenbo was none other than this very Divine Cat Hero before them.

Yan Jian's wife suppressed her inner doubts and said enthusiastically: "Old Master Wang, I still need to trouble you to escort it a stretch; I'm worried I won't be able to handle the Divine Cat Hero!"

"I..."

Wang Lin was about to refuse, after all, he knew the Black Cat Constable understood human speech, and understood it better than others, but seeing Yan Jian's wife's expression, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

Recalling what had happened before!

This novel you to

Someone had specially run to their Hutou Gou preparing to steal their Divine Cat Hero!

Wang Lin changed his tone: "Alright, Yan Jian's wife, once you've all eaten your fill, I'll bring the Divine Cat Hero to your place for a trip!"

"Old Master Wang, we've all eaten our fill..."

Before Yan Jian's wife could finish speaking, she saw Yan Wenbo still wolfing down his food—not eating rice, but stuffing himself with large mouthfuls of cured meat.

Such a delicacy is only available during festivals, where one can get a bite.

Whereas in the Wang family, one can eat it to one's heart's content.

Although.

The cured meat is their family's cured meat!

With the delicacy right before him, he wouldn't stop even if he were full—if he were overstuffed, he'd still have to keep eating.

Yan Jian's wife glared fiercely at Yan Wenbo, frightening him so his hand shook and his chopsticks fell onto the table, just as she was about to scold him.

Zhang Guihua spoke first: "Yan Jian's wife, being able to eat is a blessing—let the child eat more!"

Liu Dongzhu echoed: "Yes, yes, just let the child eat more; it's still early—whenever you've eaten well, let my father bring the Divine Cat Hero to your home, guaranteed to help you solve the granary rats!"

Not long after, under his mother's fierce glare, Yan Wenbo struggled to stuff himself; had it been before, perhaps he would have been frightened, but now, tempted by the cured meat, he found it extremely hard to resist his fear of his mother.

Finally……

One could say he ate cured meat to his fill!

Yan Wenbo hehe laughed: "Mom, I'm full!"

Eat a bit more, only then can the body stay healthy!

Yan Jian's wife stared coldly at Yan Wenbo, and there was still something she hadn't said: after they went back, she would definitely make Yan Wenbo understand why the flowers were so red.

"Divine Cat Hero, follow me, I'll take you to do good deeds!"

Wang Lin stood up, went to Hei Mao Bu Tou's front, and spoke solemnly.

Hei Mao Bu Tou lifted his head and glanced at Wang Lin; his eyes were full of contempt. Though he said nothing, the meaning was clear even to a three‑year‑old.

Unwilling to go!
