Chapter 185 Merlin Merlin
Xiaowei Bear Village.

"Meow." Chubby, fluffy ass, gray tail wagging.

Merlin held his little paw and came down the stairs tremblingly like a fur ball. It licked its nose at this moment, and finally crawled and rolled to the first floor.

Just as it was about to go out, a pair of hands stretched out and hugged it from behind.

Merlin's short legs paddled back and forth like oars, and when he realized that his field of vision had suddenly increased, he turned his little head—to meet a pair of amber eyes.

"Where are you going?" Suzuki asked.

"Meow~" Looking at the face close at hand, Merlin shrank his neck, and suddenly his cat face became fatter, "Meow."

"You are dirty every time you go out and come back recently, let me take a good look at you." Suzuki Kaoru said.

After all, the fat cat would disappear for hours every day and always come back with muddy footprints.

Merlin opened his big round eyes innocently.

"Okay, I'm not allowed to go anywhere today." Kaoru Suzuki rubbed Merlin's head and put the fat cat down.

Merlin licked his nose, obediently followed behind the hostess.

In the afternoon, the short-haired girl finished her housework and raised her eyes to look out the window——

The warm sunlight shone in slightly, bringing warmth to the house, and this was also her favorite moment in autumn and winter.

Holding Meilin in her arms, Kaoru Suzuki walked to the wooden steps outside the French window, feeling that the whole body was fully bathed in the sun, and the girl slowly lay down.

She plans to take a nap.

Merlin was peacefully accompanying Suzuki Xun at this time, and after it was irradiated by the sun, the warm feeling made it feel tired for a while: "Woo meow."

Time passed little by little.

One person and one cat began to take a nap.

The rustling sound of the wind blowing the green plants in the courtyard was like the best lullaby, and the expressions of Kaoru Suzuki and the cat gradually began to relax.

After an unknown amount of time, a fallen leaf slowly fell, rippling and forming patterns in the pond.

Merlin suddenly opened his eyes.

It first licked its nose and glanced at Kaoru Suzuki, then left quietly wagging its tail.

When Merlin had just left, Kaoru Suzuki also opened his eyes.There was no tiredness on her face, her amber eyes looked at the swaying fat cat in the distance, she stood up and followed.

Perhaps because of the cat's natural ability, Merlin can move forward and retreat freely on the fence even if he is a fat man.It climbed up and down in the alley, and finally came to a relatively simple house. The house was a two-story one-family building with a dilapidated small yard. The exterior paint of the house was already rusty, and the yard was also full of trees. weeds.

This is a relatively remote corner of the residential area behind Meilin Street. The residents living here are basically old houses in the period when Meilin Street was not established, and Meilin Street itself has a history of decades. The house in front of me is estimated to be 40 years old. Upward house age.

There is no place suitable for climbing around, but the wooden bar under a fence has long since rotted, and there is a hole suitable for Merlin to enter.

"Meow!" Merlin yelled, and got in skillfully.

But the land behind the hole was covered with mud, and Merlin's four feet were all muddy when he stepped on it.

"Drip, drip, drip..." On one side, there was a leaky faucet ticking slowly.

Merlin leaned over first, licked a few mouthfuls of water with his tongue, then turned his buttocks and walked towards the house.

Near the house was the smell of damp and rotting wood.

Merlin got in through the gap in the wooden door of the courtyard. Under the dimly lit house, its big round eyes saw a gray-haired old man lying on the bed on the ground.

The old man has shriveled skin and a skinny body. He looks about eight or ninety years old.

"Meow?" Merlin called out.

Perhaps the old man seemed to have reacted when she heard the meowing of the cat. She turned her head and smiled: "Merlin..."

But what was surprising was that the old man seemed to be blind, and he was talking to Merlin with his eyes closed.

Merlin leaned over and took the initiative to stroke the old man's dead tree-like palm.

"You little thing, it's really hard for you to come and accompany me, an old guy every day." The old man stroked Merlin's head and said, coughing.

"I can't see at all now... But the things that are often placed in the room can still know their positions."

"Would you like some dried fish?"

After Merlin heard it, he shook his head: "Meow."

Then it bit the quilt and pulled it, as if to make the old man lie down.

"Hehehe, you are still so considerate." The old man lay down, and Merlin accompanied her, making some noises from time to time.

"I should be the last one, but the days are coming soon..."

The old man whispered on the bed: "I don't know what the commercial street looks like now. It would be great if I could take another look before I grow old."

"Of course I also know that this is a luxury."

"You say so, Merlin?"

"Meow~~" Merlin made a coquettish cry, rubbing his head against the old man's shriveled face.

The old man didn't seem to be in a sad mood at all, she smiled: "Sometimes I never thought that I could live so long, 97...or 98 years old?"

"When relatives and friends are gone, no matter how long it takes to live, it seems meaningless."

"When I was young, I was afraid that I would die early, but now I am afraid that I will never die."

"Even Merlin, you are the fifth or sixth generation. Although I can't see what you look like, I think you look similar to your grandfather."

Merlin listened quietly, wagging his tail from time to time.

The old man said gradually that he was tired, but his hands were still on Merlin's back.

And Merlin lying on the side, even if it was just a simple company, made the old man feel warm.

When the Meilin Commercial Street was established, it was named after the cat mascot of the nearby shrine, Meilin, but the Meilin cat decades ago is naturally different from the current Meilin cat... As the name of the shrine, whether it is the god , Miko or mascot also have inheritance.

As the most spiritual cat on Meilin Street, the offspring Meilin naturally inherited the title of "Meilin".

This fat cat who can also be cute, act like a baby, respect the old and love the young is not only the shrine, but also the mascot of the entire Merlin Street.

Time passed bit by bit, when Merlin stood up and was about to leave, the old man suddenly said:

"Merlin, are you still coming tomorrow?"

Merlin licked his nose: "Meow~~~"

It thought of a girl who held it to keep it from running around.

"Hehehe, I understand." After hearing Merlin's cry, the old man seemed very happy.

Merlin wagged his tail and got out of the wooden door.

As soon as he got out of the muddy hole to the aisle, Merlin saw a pair of legs in black stockings in front of him.

Blinking his big round eyes, Merlin raised his head and met a pair of amber pupils.

Kaoru Suzuki stood in front of Merlin with a smile on his lips:

"Merlin."
