Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 256 The Cat at School

The little hawksbill turtle seemed timid on its first time going out.

Even though it had already seen what the outside world was like when it came to settle down at Zhanghe Police Station with Lin Ge, it was still young at that time.

Moreover, such a long period of comfortable life has made the little tortoiseshell cat reject, or rather, afraid to face the unfamiliarity and danger of the outside world. It is a well-behaved cat, unlike the tabby cat which is full of enthusiasm for the outside world.

However, after Lin Ge urged it twice more, it obediently came out like a little lady and silently followed Lin Ge.

Snowclaw Tiger Stripes, on the other hand, has a completely different personality.

If Ringo doesn't take the lead, it stays obediently in the yard. But as soon as it sees Ringo call out to it, it immediately runs out and follows behind Ringo's tail. It seems that for it, where Ringo is, there's no need to consider the word "danger."

As for the little tiger stripe...

Lin Ge stared speechlessly at the little guy who had already run ahead, even staring wide-eyed at a leashed Teddy across the street. He seemed quite curious about the dog, apparently surprised that a dog the size of Beibei could also be as small as a Teddy…

"Wang!"

When the Teddy dog ​​across the street saw the cats, it immediately started barking excitedly. Its owner, a stylish urban young woman, saw that the cats had come out of the police station, so she quickly tightened the Teddy's leash and peered over through the gap in her large sunglasses.

"Meow!"

The little tabby barked defiantly from its side of the road, and it's unclear where it got the courage from.

A cat and a dog stood facing each other across the road. Fortunately, there wasn't much traffic at the time, so their fight wasn't interrupted by passing vehicles, and they both seemed quite excited.

Then... a Cayenne pulled up on the side of the road, and a young urban woman carried Teddy into the car. The barking quickly disappeared.

"what are you doing?"

"Nothing much, just watching the cats and dogs play! Brother Li, what new tricks does Chairman Wang have up his sleeve today?"

"You'll find out when you go."

Lin Ge vaguely heard this conversation, after which the Cayenne drove away smoothly. These words made Lin Ge wonder: what exactly was this urban young woman's identity?
"The world is declining!"

Lin Ge sighed.

Without the young woman, Lin Ge continued walking with the three children. It was their first time out, and he didn't plan to take them to any dangerous places. Therefore, Oil City Elementary School or Oil City Middle School were his first choices. Lin Ge chose Oil City Elementary School, since he had made quite a splash at Oil City Middle School last time and could easily become a target for the students. Besides, with Lin Jia there, he might be distracted and unable to take care of the three little devils.

They encountered nothing unusual along the way, and of course, no one would usually abuse cats in broad daylight. Occasionally, passersby would try to call the three little ones, but they remained wary and ignored them, which reassured Lin Ge.

The thing Lin Ge was most worried about didn't happen. The three little ones didn't assume that all humans in the world were good people just because they had encountered kind police officers during this period, nor did they lose their vigilance towards strangers.

This gave him a slight sense of relief.

Then, amidst the three little ones' varying attitudes of excitement, wariness, or indifference, they arrived at Youcheng Elementary School.

Instead of foolishly choosing to go through the main gate, Lin Ge went around to a long fence next to the playground and squeezed through the fence first.

The little hawksbill turtle followed closely behind, and the snow-clawed tiger-spotted tiger also stayed close to Lin Ge. Only the little tiger-spotted ...

"Meow!"

The spacious school playground surprised the three kittens. Looking around, they were amazed that such a wide-open space existed in the world. The dense, short grass on the playground also fascinated the kittens. The tabby kitten instantly forgot about the humans outside, ran a few steps, jumped up, and disappeared into the grass.

Its head was hidden in the grass, but its rump and tail were held high, and it charged forward as fast as it plowed the ground. The snowclaw tiger saw this and followed, rolled around in the grass and found it very enjoyable, and immediately began to roll around happily from side to side.

"Two idiots!"

Lin Ge pursed his lips.

Looking back at the little hawksbill turtle, the little guy was quite quiet, squatting quietly behind Lin Ge. When it saw Lin Ge turn around to look at it, it even gave a soft meow in response.

Seeing that it didn't seem afraid, Lin Ge didn't ask for anything more. It was good that it was quiet; after all, the police station could take care of the little hawksbill turtle for its entire life, and Lin Ge himself was capable of providing the little hawksbill turtle with a carefree and worry-free life.

"Meow!!"

The little tabby suddenly barked excitedly, sticking out its rear end and crouching low in a wary posture, causing the snowclaw tabby that was doing somersaults on the grass to look up in surprise.

Cats have sharp eyes, and both Ringo and the snowclawed tabby tortoiseshell kitten immediately spotted a small, muddy-colored toad in front of the tabby kitten. It wasn't one of those disgusting toads, but a tiny, grayish-brown creature only about half the size of a cat's paw.

Lin Ge vaguely remembered that this thing was called either a forest frog or a marsh frog. Anyway, it used to be quite common, but now it's not so common to see it anymore.

I never expected to see these toads at school.

The little tiger-striped frog was probably seeing such a small creature for the first time, especially its hopping around, which made it both wary and excited. So, every time the toad hopped, the little tiger-striped frog would hop after it, but always maintaining a fixed distance.

The toad seemed to have never seen a cat before, and was quite frightened, hopping around rather quickly. After hopping a couple of times, it squatted motionless on the dirt, trying to hide, but how could such a movement escape the cat's eyes?

The little tiger was extremely excited, but it was also very patient. When the toad didn't move, it lay still behind it.

"Meow?"

Snowclaw Tiger, unaware of what its brother was doing, tilted its head and curiously watched for a moment. Suddenly, Snowclaw Tiger walked over, lowered its head, and put the toad in its mouth, leaving only its two hind legs sticking out as it frantically hopped around.

"Holy crap, you can't eat this!"

Lingo was taken aback. He yelled and immediately ran over to slap the Snowclaw Tiger's head, trying to make it spit out the toad.

"Well?"

The snow-clawed tiger, puzzled, stubbornly held onto the toad, its head tilted as if it had thick whiskers on either side of its mouth, staring at Lin Ge. "Is this thing poisonous or not?"

Lin Ge didn't know whether the toad belonged to the frog or toad family, nor did he know if its skin, which looked the same color as a toad's, was poisonous like a toad's. Seeing that this foolish glutton wouldn't let go, Lin Ge simply stood up, stretched out his claws, grabbed the toad's two legs, and pulled hard. But even with its head stretched forward, the snow-clawed tiger-striped toad still wouldn't open its mouth, letting Lin Ge pull its head from side to side.

"Meow?"

The dumbfounded little tabby finally reacted, and hurriedly jumped up and pounced on the snowclaw tabby, knocking it over onto the lawn with its head.

"Meow meow!"

The snowclaw tiger's eyes lit up. The ground was so soft, and the game looked so fun!

So it finally stopped being curious about the toad, opened its mouth and let Lingo pull the toad out, then flipped over and pounced on the little tabby cat, and the two cats wrestled and played around with each other.

"..."

The toad hadn't died. After being tossed aside by Lin Ge, it kept gurgling and cursing before hopping away and disappearing from sight.

The little hawksbill turtle stared wide-eyed at the scene with a mixture of curiosity and astonishment.

It turned its head to look in the direction the toad had left, but didn't attack like its two brothers. Watching the two tiger stripes wrestling happily on the lawn, the little hawksbill turtle simply yawned lazily and found a soft spot next to Lingo to lie down.

"My daughter is so easy to take care of."

Lin Ge muttered to himself, not thinking there was anything in the school that could threaten the two kittens, so he found a soft spot on the grass and started to doze off in the sun.

Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

Oil City Elementary School still uses the traditional dismissal bell, unlike some schools that have switched to musical bells. The bell, which sounded like an alarm clock, startled the three cats, who pricked up their ears and quickly hid behind Lin Ge.

Then they witnessed a scene that resembled a ferocious beast being unleashed.

Countless black heads swarmed into the corridors of every floor, instantly turning the once quiet campus into a cacophony. The sounds of hundreds of elementary school students talking and playing at the same time were so exaggerated that it seemed as if the school building was shaking, turning into a rhythmic thumping sound.

This is the sound of kids running downstairs, followed by the music of the sports meet march, signifying that these swarming kids will soon take over the entire playground, and also that they will extend their claws to a few kittens.

When he saw students rushing onto the playground, Lin Ge turned and ran.

"Meow!"

The three startled little ones also turned around and cleverly found the fence they had come through, and without saying a word, they tried to squeeze through.

"Ow!"

Lin Ge quickly stopped them.

If they are easily frightened by such sounds, they will find it difficult to roam freely in the city. Because whether it's car horns or shopping mall advertisements, the noise is equally disruptive to cats, and even less safe than being near a school.

Since Lingo brought them out, he certainly wasn't just taking them out to play. Experiencing all sorts of things, becoming familiar with all kinds of sounds and humans, are essential lessons for cats living in the city; they are challenges they must face.

Therefore, Lin Ge did not leave the school. Instead, he climbed up the bamboo grove next to the wall and jumped to the platform at the top of the wall to squat down.

To Lin Ge's surprise, the one who imitated him the most was actually the little hawksbill turtle. Without any hesitation, the little girl did exactly what Lin Ge did, easily jumping to Lin Ge's side and squatting down to look at the two silly things on the ground, just like Lin Ge did.

"Meow?"

The little tabby cat didn't understand why Lingo wasn't running away; the commotion over there was too frightening for the cat.

'Snapped! '

That's the sound of a snowclaw tiger-striped tiger falling off a bamboo pole.

The bamboo was more slippery than it had expected, and it hadn't noticed that Lingo had jumped up using two bamboo stalks as support. Holding onto the bamboo with all four limbs, it slid to the ground like a bear climbing a tree, unsurprisingly.

"Meow!"

Upon seeing this, the little hawksbill turtle let out a disdainful cry.

"Woo!"

The little tabby cat suddenly became angry. It abandoned its fear and turned to rush into the bamboo thicket. The cat's natural talent made the bamboo no obstacle to its climbing. It simply used its paws and feet to quickly claw and pull, and easily, yet clumsily, reached the wall.

Seeing that more and more students were coming out to do their exercises and getting closer, Snowclaw Tiger Stripe quickly darted into the bamboo thicket.

Under Lin Ge's unbearable gaze, the snow-clawed tiger-striped creature squeezed its way up the narrow gaps in the bamboo. Fortunately, the wall wasn't very high, and the bamboo tilted halfway up, allowing it to successfully stand on two bamboo poles and slowly move in front of Lin Ge.

Lin Ge didn't criticize this idiot; as long as he got up there, that was good enough.

He and his three little ones stood quietly watching as a sea of ​​black heads filled the entire playground. Before the exercise bell rang, the boys seized the opportunity to run and play, and soon four or five of them chased each other to this side of the wall.

"Huh? A cat?"

"So many cats!"

"Holy crap, this is the first time I've ever seen this!"

Several boys quickly spotted Lin Ge and his friends, and some of them screamed in surprise, while others with poor manners resorted to swearing.

Even though the word "damn" has become a very frequent interjection in both real life and online, Lin Ge still frowned unhappily when he heard a kid under ten years old say it.
