Chapter 41 Life-saving grace
Wang Ping'an used his skill: animal taming to drive the black cat catcher to quickly run outside Hutougou. In front of a wide river, there was the Qingshui River, the mother river of the entire Qingyang County. A human figure was seen struggling in it.

Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was an adult. I was a little surprised because I originally thought that he was a companion of these children.

But on second thought, the children in Hutougou have been taught by their parents since they were old enough to understand that they must not play near the Qingshui River under any circumstances, otherwise they will be served with fried bamboo shoots and meat.

The children of Hutougou would never dare to play by the Qingshui River unless they were extremely brave.

Naturally, it will not fall into the Qingshui River!

Wang Ping'an was too lazy to think about why there was a strange adult man in the Qingshui River. He hurriedly "plop" and the Black Cat Catcher dived into the Qingshui River.

Unlike ordinary cats, maybe because he has been strengthened by spiritual energy or something else, the Black Cat Catcher is simply a good swimmer.

When the Black Cat swam to the man, he saw that the man had stopped struggling and looked as if he was neither alive nor dead. Shocked, the Black Cat hooked his claws around the man's clothes and dragged him towards the shore with difficulty.

Soon, when the Black Cat Detective had used all his strength to drag the man to the shore, he shook his fur and saw a group of children running towards him from a distance. He quickly turned around and left, looking for a clean place to bask in the sun.

"Ding! Your pet black cat 'Captain' saved a drowning man. Congratulations, you have received a reward: Merit +10!"

A cold, mechanical voice sounded in his mind, and a hint of excitement appeared on Wang Ping'an's little face.

"Master Magic Cat, you are so amazing. You actually have the ability to rescue people from the river!"

A little boy looked at the strange man lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, then turned his head to look at the back of the Black Cat Detective as he left, his little face full of admiration.

Just now.

When they saw someone falling into the Qingshui River, they panicked and turned around quickly, ready to ask for help. They never thought about the Divine Cat Hero. Even though Xiaocao had boasted about the Divine Cat Hero a lot, they were still shocked by what he had done.

but……

I still don't believe that Black Cat Detective can rescue an adult man who fell into the river.

How to know.

What they saw on the shore not long ago left them all stunned.

But to their disappointment, when they reached the shore, the Black Cat Detective had already turned around and left, making it impossible for them to make contact with him.

A boy looked at the strange man lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, and said, "What should we do? Just let this man lie here?"

"Let's go find the village chief. Only the village chief can solve this problem!"

Time passed unknowingly, and Wang Ping'an had another full meal to gain energy for growth. While he was fully rested, his mother held him in her arms and he began to practice the "Purple Qi Sutra" again. At that moment, the Black Cat Catcher, who was drying his hair, walked in slowly from outside.

Driven by its owner, it jumped into the river and saved a drowning man. It did a good deed and exhausted its energy, so it naturally had to go home to get a reward.

Lying at Liu Dongzhu's feet, it took advantage of Wang Ping'an's practice of the "Purple Qi Sutra" to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gather. Most of it was absorbed by Wang Ping'an's body, a small part was absorbed by Liu Dongzhu, and the remaining spiritual energy was its benefit.

It was the little black dog that Wang Ping'an bought first - Xiao Hei, a name Wang Ping'an had given it a few days ago. When he wanted to get close, although he had not grown up yet and was not smart yet, he instinctively knew the benefits of spiritual energy.

When he wanted to take advantage of the spiritual energy, he was glared at fiercely by the black cat captain who was lazily lying at Liu Dongzhu's feet. The fierce look scared Xiao Hei so much that he howled, then turned around and ran away in a panic.

next second.

The Black Cat Detective looked at Xiao Hei's fleeing back and meowed disdainfully. After retracting his gaze, he lay lazily at Liu Dongzhu's feet again.

"Is Brother Wang home?"

Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hall, waking Liu Dongzhu up. He stopped looking at Wang Ping'an, stood up and carried Wang Ping'an away. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the village chief Cheng Yong with a strange scholar who was wet all over and carrying a book box. Liu Dongzhu said, "Village chief, my father and mother are working in the fields. What do you want to talk to my father about?"

"I'm not looking for your father, it's this scholar who's looking for your father - no, I should say he's looking for your family, it's the same if you're at home!"

Cheng Yong said enthusiastically: "Dai Xiucai, this is the Wang family member you are looking for. The civet cat that saved you should be the black cat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yong's face was filled with shock that was difficult to conceal.

Not long ago.

He was resting at home when several children found him and said that a man had fallen into the Qingshui River. When he hurriedly called for people to come, he immediately noticed a strange man lying on the shore.

after that.

When he asked the child who called him to save people in detail, he learned the whole story. Not only him, but even the other villagers who were called by him to help had expressions of disbelief on their faces and in their eyes.

They never imagined that the Black Cat Detective had the ability to save people from the river!

of course.

Although he was shocked, he was not too surprised, because all the major events in their village during this period were related to the Black Cat Detective.

The fact that Black Cat rescued the man who fell into the river is consistent with its previous behavior.

"Is this the Great Cat Warrior?"

Dai Zhishang looked at the black cat that followed Liu Dongzhu's feet and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He couldn't believe it and said, "Did it really save my life?"

prior to.

When he was rescued and woke up, he expressed his gratitude in front of Cheng Yong and his group and was about to kowtow to express his gratitude. However, Cheng Yong stopped him immediately and told them that it was not them who saved him, but someone else who saved him.

wrong.

It should be said that there is another cat!

He couldn't believe that it was a cat that saved him from the river.

If Cheng Yong had not assured him again and again, he would have found it hard to believe this. Even though he had seen the Black Cat Detective with his own eyes and was called the 'God Cat Hero', he still had many doubts in his heart.

Hearing this, Liu Dongzhu couldn't control his curiosity and asked, "Village Chief, what's going on?"

"That's what happened..."

Seeing that Liu Dongzhu was curious, Cheng Yong didn't waste any words and told her the whole story in detail.

next moment.

Liu Dongzhu opened his mouth wide, with a strange look on his face. However, thinking about what the Black Cat Detective had done during this period, he was not surprised. He smiled and said proudly, "It really is worthy of being the guardian beast of our family's safety!"

Dai Zhishang took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. Only then did he reluctantly believe that he was saved by a cat when he fell into the river.

Dai Zhishang hurriedly felt around in his arms, but didn't find any treasure. He hastily opened the bookcase, but still didn't find any gold, silver, or jewelry. When he saw the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"Madam, my purse may have fallen into the Qingshui River, and I won't be able to thank your civet cat for saving my life. I will draw a picture for you and your son as a token of my gratitude for your civet cat's life-saving grace. What do you think?"
