Chapter 193 I want to be as high as the moon
The story follows very naturally.
To some extent, there is a similarity between young children and cats that roam the mountains and forests all year round - the same childlike innocence and fun.
So it was a natural progression for them to play together.
Even though Wu Nianyang is different from ordinary children, even though her young mind seems to have been distorted by external forces.
The black cat who had just come into contact did not notice this, because it had only seen a handful of humans.
One person and one cat often communicate secretly in the haystacks along the back wall of the house late at night, talking inexplicably and making random remarks.
It didn't take long for Wu Nianyang to discover that her magical stupid cat could not only speak human words, but also had more wonderful powers.
She stared at the branches hanging in the air, rising and falling according to the black cat's thoughts, her eyes full of wonder and admiration.
"You are so awesome!"
Black Cat snorted disdainfully, "Is this awesome? I know a lot more than this."
"It's nothing to control a small branch, I can even levitate you."
Excitement appeared in Wu Nianyang's clear eyes, "Really?! Then can you let me give it a try!"
"I can fly! Then can I fly high?!"
Wu Nianyang almost immediately showed his dissatisfaction with simply floating.
She wants to fly.
The black cat was startled, "It's okay...but how high do you want to fly? As high as a tree?"
Wu Nianyang said without hesitation.
"Fly as high as the moon!"
"The moon is so high..." The black cat raised its head, its clear blue eyes reflected the clear light of the moon, "Such a high place..."
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of!"
"The moon is very high, but it hangs alone in the sky. No one can accompany it and talk to it, and it can only hang forever and ever."
"This is clearly a punishment that will never end."
Now it was Wu Nianyang's turn to be stunned, but she quickly strengthened her belief, "These problems you mentioned are not problems, as long as the moon is high enough!"
Black Cat glanced at Wu Nianyang, "I can't make you as tall as the moon."
"Aren't you very powerful? Why can't you do it?"
The black cat lowered his eyes lightly, "My strength is not strong enough. If I want to be as high as the moon, I need a lot of strength."
Wu Nianyang's expression became visibly lonely, and there was even a trace of resentment flashing through her bright eyes.
She was complaining that the black cat couldn't turn her into the moon.
It's just that the emotion flashed so quickly that Black Cat didn't notice it at all.
Over a longer period of time, the relationship between the girl and the black cat became better and better, so good that the vigilant black cat could completely relax and lazily nestle in Wu Nianyang's arms.
The black cat has never established a close relationship with any human being, let alone trusting one person wholeheartedly like this.
After it gained strength, it not only gained wisdom, but also lived too long.
Decades are enough time for it to see through a lot like an old person.
Human nature, especially, is hypocritical and ugly.
Black Cat thinks Wu Nianyang is different.
She was wagging her tail lazily, maybe because she was just a child.
Children are quite pure beings in human society, and their emotions and sorrows are not concealed.
The black cat felt the warm embrace, and suddenly felt that humans were better than ever before. Could this be because it was born as a cat?
The human holding it suddenly spoke.
"Stupid Cat, why did you choose to appear in front of me?"
The black cat happily enjoyed Wu Nianyang's chin scratching service. After scratching Wu Nianyang twice, Wu Nianyang took his hand away, and the black cat opened his eyes unsatisfied.
"What's the word?"
Wu Nianyang's expressionless face showed rare tension, but the black cat was in her arms and she couldn't notice it.
"I mean... there are so many people in the village, even children, why did you choose to talk to me?"
"And according to what you said, you have never interacted with anyone since you got the power. Why did you choose me?" The black cat slowly emerged from Wu Nianyang's arms and glanced at her lazily.
"Have you forgotten how miserable you were that day?"
"Even in Good Village, there are not many people beaten like that by their biological father." Black Cat looked at Wu Nianyang indifferently, "And you won't cry or make trouble."
"I like humans who don't make noise."
The expression on Wu Nianyang's face froze for a moment.
"So you came out to see me because I was beaten badly...are you pitying me?"
The black cat looked at Wu Nianyang with clear blue eyes.
"Can't I pity you?"
Wu Nianyang regained his smile and said, "Yes, of course."
"According to common sense, I am indeed quite miserable. It is understandable that you pity me."
Black Cat looked at Wu Nianyang's expression and tilted his head, "Are you unhappy? I just answered truthfully, and I didn't mean to make you unhappy."
Wu Nianyang's hand hanging by his side grasped the grass tightly, "Aren't I laughing? How can I be unhappy when I laugh?"
The black cat looked at it intently for a while, then sighed like a human being.
"You're just upset."
It moved closer to Wu Nianyang, its shiny black fur showing amazing beauty.
"Whatever I said to upset you, I apologize for that."
Wu Nianyang did not express her position. She reached out and took the black cat into her arms, "Don't talk about unhappy things, let's move on to the next topic."
The black cat gave a soft "hmm" and nestled into her arms again.
It didn't realize that it had unconsciously begun to obey the human being that it had chosen and liked.
The girl's hand on the black cat's chin was scratching it regularly, which made the black cat squint its eyes in comfort.
"Stupid Maomao, why don't you tell me the story of how you gained power."
Black Cat opened his eyes, "You want to hear this?"
"Want to hear it."
After getting the girl's affirmative answer, the black cat didn't hesitate to tell the truth about its unexpected mysterious power.
The girl counted on her fingers, "It's been eight or ninety years, haven't you encountered the mysterious power again when you go to the back mountain?"
Black Cat shook his head, "Do you want me to meet you again?"
Wu Nianyang curled his lips and smiled, "I hope you, Maomao, will become stronger."
"I think I'm fine just the way I am now."
Wu Nianyang raised his head and glanced at the moon in the sky, "Maomao, just say yes. After all, that is your power."
"not mine."
The black cat did not hear the surge of emotions under Wu Nianyang's calm tone. To be precise, it hardly noticed any clue that something was wrong with Wu Nianyang.
Otherwise it would not have been so unexpected about what happened next.
Every night after that, peace and tranquility continued to flow slowly through the black cat, and it thought the same was true for the girl.
Little did he know that during the day when it was not around, the girl had been doing the same thing.
The gray-bearded village chief shook his head, "Why are you here again? There is no child in the village who likes reading as much as you do."
"And didn't your brother leave a lot of books behind? Why do you have to come to me every day?"
The girl struggled to grab the table that was as high as her body, revealing only a pair of round eyes, black and white.
"The book I want to read is not in my brother's room."
The village chief looked at the firmness in the girl's eyes and waved his hand, "Go in and stay only for a while. Otherwise, if your father comes and sees you, he will beat you. I will not intervene."
Wu Nianyang finally got her wish and got the book she had been longing for.
"The Treasures of Heaven and Earth"
It’s true that cats are monsters. If you want to deal with them, you should read this book!
Satisfied, she opened the creases left last time and continued reading.
