a witch

Chapter 23 (18) Come on, Xiaobai!

When I returned to the studio with Xiaobai in my arms, the pet competition had already begun.As soon as I entered the door, Jia Bei yelled "Wen Qing", squeezed out of the crowd, panted and said, "Quick, get on stage!" as she said, she pulled me into the crowd. "I'm so anxious, the competition finally started, but you guys disappeared. Hurry up and get on stage, there should be still time."

The host was talking excitedly on the stage, Jia Bei pushed me up from the side stage.Immediately, I heard a "wow" from the audience, and the host's generous voice paused for a moment. He turned to look at me and said, "Student, you came on stage suddenly, are you here to offer flowers? But, where are the flowers?"

The audience roared with laughter.

I admire the host's adaptability, but this statement also makes me feel ashamed. "I'm here to participate in the pet competition. Sorry, I had an accident just now, so I'm late."

"It turned out that I came to participate in the pet competition, alas, it's really disappointing." One of the necessary qualifications for the host is indeed to attract attention. "But this classmate, the one participating in the competition is the one you hold in your arms, the cat, should it be a cat?"

Xiaobai "meowed" very cooperatively in my arms, learning quite alike.

"Well, her name is Xiaobai."

"Hehe, that's a very apt name. What breed is it?"

The host handed the microphone to me again, and I looked at the microphone and hesitated.Xiaobai is a fox, but he looks more like a cat—could it be a fox breed?

I hesitated for a moment, then answered him solemnly: "White cat."

This time, there was another "wow" in the auditorium.Xiaobai said in my arms: "That's a silly answer."

"Hahaha, this classmate is really humorous." The host still smoothed things over calmly. "Since you are a contestant, please sit in the guest seat. You will have to pass three levels in the meeting, and cut five generals. Comrade Xiaobai, are you ready?"

Xiaobai gave another "meow" very cooperatively.The host said exaggeratedly: "It seems that it is really not an ordinary cat. Although the night's competition is all dogs that are good at spirituality except Xiaobai, but from this point of view, who will win the game in the end, It’s really unpredictable.”

When he said this, I realized that there were about [-] people sitting in a circle on the stage, in the front and back rows, and all of them were leading dogs, big or small, without exception.That Xiaobai is squatting here with a "cat", which really attracts people's attention.

After the hostesses ushered me to the guest seats, the host began to mobilize the audience to vote for which pet would win.It was only then that I discovered that there were numbers in front of our seats, mine was number 36, and there was a sign next to the number that read: Little White, White Cat.Then I looked at other brands, most of them said: Chihuahua, Scottish Shepherd and so on.In comparison, we look really shabby.

Amidst the commotion in the audience, the first round of voting ended.I looked back at the big screen behind my eyes, and found that Xiaobai's votes were not the lowest, with five votes.One of the votes should have been cast by Jiabei, and the other few votes were cast by unknown persons, probably for fun.

Then, the host interviewed the owner with the highest votes and the owner with the lowest votes respectively, and then the pet competition officially began.The host briefly introduced the rules, and the competition was divided into three parts.

The first link compares the tacit understanding between the pet and the owner, that is, the pet will do what the owner says.This link is compared to free movements, which are generally rehearsed before.

The second part is similar to the first part, but the actions required by the pet are performed by the host on the spot. He makes the request, and the owner will issue orders to see the pet's reaction.

In these two stages, one-third of the people were eliminated respectively, and the last third entered the third stage.What is the third part of the test? The test is counting!See whose pet is the smartest and who has the most pairs of numbers, and whoever wins.

The first two tests were to test whether pets could understand human speech. Xiaobai quarreled with me every day, but of course there was no problem, and he went directly to the third level with ease.Due to Xiaobai's wonderful performance, the number of votes voted by the audience has also risen linearly.After the first level, Xiaobai's ranking rushed to the middle position. By the beginning of the third level, Xiaobai was already the second highest voter.

At the beginning of the third level, it was just as I imagined. The host said "1", and Xiaobai just "meowed".But those dogs are also really smart, and most of them can count.As a result, there were eight of them, including Xiaobai, who could count from one to five.

The host looked at the eight pets obediently lined up on the stage, stroked their chins and said, "Hey, the pets this time are really smart! It seems that we have to try more!"

It was also the first time I knew that a dog could be so smart. I wonder if it was transformed from a big monster like Xiaobai?My eyes turned from the big dogs, and finally my eyes fell on Xiao Bai.It was disdainfully scanning the border collie beside him with the corner of its eye, which was the dog with higher votes than Xiaobai.

"Okay, I thought of the topic of the extra match!" The host said happily. "First, please return to your seats, masters."

I glanced at Xiaobai, Xiaobai had a smug expression on his face, as if he was saying don't worry, how could these stupid dogs be my opponents.

"The title of the extra match is—" The host paused, and the hostess pushed a poster out.He took the ink pen handed by the lady, wrote a big "3", and then asked: "What is this? Note, everyone in the audience and the hosts can't remind. Pet babies recognize what is this?" , you should call a few times."

When I saw the numbers he wrote, my head went dizzy.My God, Xiaobai doesn't recognize the Arabic numerals! !It is also good to draw a few apples to count, why is it Arabic numerals! !

Sure enough, when I looked back at Xiaobai, I found Xiaobai was also looking at me blankly.I started to worry, thinking of any way to remind it.But at this time, the camera images were mainly focused on our hosts. As long as I made a small movement, it would be reflected on the big screen immediately.

"Haha, our lovely Xiaobai has already started to ask the master for help." The host explained loudly with inspiration.

My palms were sweating, thinking that if Xiaobai was defeated here, if he lost to those dogs, he would definitely be hit hard.

1 minute has passed...

2 minute has passed...

Fortunately, none of the dogs recognized them, and they squatted there leisurely one by one.Some see nothing to do, so they lie lazily on their stomachs.Some even climbed off the pet seats on the stage, and ran back to the place where the owner was sitting.

"If the pet runs back to the owner, it will be regarded as giving up the rematch!" The host reminded with a smile, looking like a good show.The owners then began to drive the dogs back onto the stage.

"Well, let's wait for another 5 minutes. If no pet recognizes it again, there will be no winning prize in this pet competition!" After finishing speaking, he turned and pointed to the "3" written on the board, and said with a smile on his face. ask. "Baby, how much is this?"

The dogs basically didn't listen to him, only Xiaobai looked at him solemnly.

"Dear Xiaobai, do you recognize it?" He also noticed Xiaobai.

Xiaobai looked at him with round eyes, hesitated for a moment, "meow", "meow" twice.

"Ah, Xiaobai is indeed the smartest, you understand what I'm talking about." The host said excitedly, and there was faint applause from the audience. "But unfortunately, no."

The look in Xiaobai's eyes quickly dimmed.

"Woof!" A dog's barking suddenly sounded from the other side, and the host was immediately attracted.

At this moment, when everyone's attention and the lens of the camera were focused on the dog over there, I watched Xiaobai kick up and kick the dog next to him on the PP.
