After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

(However, this is not a good thing in the long run)

It thinks slowly

It's impossible for it not to fail every time. Looking at the strength with which these naughty kids attack, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death if I'm caught.

(No, I have to prepare to leave this place)

Chapter 4: Leaving Meow (I)

(Today's sun is very bright, it seems to be a good day for traveling)

On the low earthen wall that protected the town, a tabby cat was lazily basking in the sun, looking around at the people around it.

(Okay, now)

After making sure that no one was looking at it, the cat leaped out of the city wall and landed easily in a haystack under the wall.

(Why is there a haystack here?)

The cat's eyesight is not very strong, and it cannot see far away things clearly, so in its eyes, the wall below is just a colorful block of color. It just picked a color that was similar to the earth wall. It originally thought that this might be a higher pile of earth, and it was ready for a hard landing, but it stepped on the soft haystack.

(Good luck)

It poked its head out of the haystack and shook itself to get rid of the straw crumbs on its body. As a cat, it must always remain clean and elegant.

It looked back at the earthen wall which was neither too high nor too low.

(Goodbye, from today on I will return to nature and be a self-reliant cat!)

Then he walked towards the forest outside the town without looking back.

…………

As a result, the next day, people found a shivering cat huddled in a corner at the entrance of the town.

(Fuck... cats are shit jungle kings... animals in this world are unreasonable meow!)

Originally, it thought that with its agile body and smart brain as a cat, it was more than capable of living in the forest. It had also seen a lot of survival in the wilderness in its previous life, so it believed that it could cope with the dangers of this kind of forest.

But the reality was beyond his imagination. There were fire-breathing snakes, flying tigers, lizards whose tails could break a tree, and mountain rats bigger than himself.

The cat felt that if it wanted to survive in this kind of forest, it would probably need the same power as the owl it saw that night, which kept flashing in the air. It was not that the speed was too fast, but that it was real, suddenly opening a hole in front of its head, and then the whole body went through it and appeared at the next place in an instant.

Fortunately, when I just stepped into the forest, I was enveloped by a powerful aura and fell to the ground, not daring to move at all. Only after I vaguely saw these creatures at the edge of the forest did I immediately retreat and run back to the town.

"Meow meow meow……"

(I think it’s better to live with humans…)

At least I am familiar with the human world, so there is no need to step into the world of monsters and die in vain.

So it returned to the town and pushed open the door of the duty booth as if it was familiar with the place. The captain who was preparing to boil water for tea looked at it in surprise.

"Little guy, you came a little early today? Did something happen?"

The captain took out some leftover food from the drawer with a puzzled look on his face, put them in a small porcelain plate and pushed it in front of the cat. Only then did he realize that most of the little guy's fur was wet, which were all dewdrops that had accumulated after lying in the surrounding areas of the forest for a night.

Looking at the cat eating by itself, the captain scratched his head. Then he turned around, rummaged through the drawers and found an old blue towel. He squatted beside and gently wiped the cat's wet fur.

The cat didn't resist at all, and its tail even gently swept across the captain's toes.

After the captain finished wiping, he put the towel away. The water for making tea had just boiled, but the cat was still busy eating.

The captain smiled, rubbed the cat's head and sat back in his seat.

After half a cup of tea, the cat was satisfied with his meal. He looked up and saw the captain reading the newspaper intently, and thought for a moment.

(If I just leave like this, it seems a bit embarrassing, after all, I have been supported by him for so long in vain)

So the cat walked over to the captain's desk and gently tugged at his trouser leg.

"Ok?"

The captain lowered his head in surprise. You know, this cat has been acting like a big boss since he rescued it. Apart from coming to his place on time every day to eat and he can rub it with his hands, this cat really doesn't get close to him at all.

Considering that the time when this cat appeared was completely different from the past, the captain suddenly fell into thought...

"Meow meow."

(I'm leaving, you take care of yourself)

Chapter 5: Leaving Meow (Part )

After experiencing the failure last time, the cat finally realized that it would be completely impossible for it to survive in nature on its own. Nature is cruel and strictly follows the rule of the jungle. It is obvious that it is just a pet cat of humans and is not suitable to participate in such cruel rules.

After escaping the pursuit of the naughty kids again, the cat leisurely came to the only trading house in the town. Unlike other buildings, this trading house is the only three-story building in the entire town, and the floor is made of luxurious marble. Although the cat cannot see these details, judging from the huge size of this trading house, it is true that no matter in which world, as long as you have money, you are the daddy.

The cat quietly climbed over the roof and came to the backyard of the trading house, which was where the trading house stored horses and goods. Every morning, several carriages would set out from here to various cities in this world to conduct business activities, but at noon, the carriages would no longer set out. The cat guessed that it was probably because outdoor activities at night in this world were very dangerous and inconvenient, and the journey time from this town to the next human activity point was about one day.

So after finishing its meal early, it quickly ran to the trading house to check out the situation.

However, it seemed that he arrived a little late, as there were only two carriages, one large and one small, left in the yard that had not set out yet. The cat thought for a moment, jumped directly from the roof to the large carriage, carefully observed the surroundings, and squeezed into the gap between the cargo.

After making sure that its hiding place was solid and that it had a safe escape route, the cat lay down leisurely and looked at the outside world. It didn't want to be crushed to death by the cargo suddenly pressing against it because of the shaking of the car on the road.

Then my life would be really unfair.

The sun was rising higher, and it felt a little stuffy in the gaps between the cargoes. From the sound he had just heard, he probably understood that the small carriage had also left, while the large carriage he was in was slow to follow.

The cat gradually began to have some doubts. If the carriage did not set off now, it would definitely not be able to reach the next human gathering place according to the time. Or, it could be said that the carriage had no intention of setting off today at all.

Just as the cat was hesitating whether to slip out, the faint sound of footsteps was heard outside, along with a lot of complaining voices.

"Master, you are such a fool. You clearly know that the young lady is leaving today, but you still delay for so long. If it's any later, we might have to travel at night."

"Be careful with your words! How can a servant like you get in on the master's family affairs?"

"Hey, don't tell me. I heard some rumors a few days ago, saying that the master actually doesn't like the eldest daughter at all. There are also rumors in the family that she is a white-haired witch and a disaster star in the family. Do you think that it will be delayed until so late this time..."

"Bullshit, get out of here, stop spreading rumors and misleading people."

"That's right. If you say so, then we shouldn't go on this trip and go home to hug our wives?"

"Hey, no, no, no, the master spent so much money to treat us, he must love his daughter very much, what I said just now is all bullshit, it doesn't count!"

This was followed by another round of laughter.

The cat hid in the cargo and listened to the conversation between these people, always feeling that he might be involved in something big.

(No, I feel a little panicky, so I decided not to go on this trip)

As he was thinking this, he just stood up and his eyes met with a pair of eyes outside the cargo.

(!!!)

The body reacted subconsciously, taking a fighting stance, the hair on its back stood up to reveal its sharp teeth, and then it made a threatening sound.

"scare!!!!!!!"

----------------------

PS: There have been suspected cases of influenza virus in my neighborhood recently, and I feel very panicked now.

Chapter 6: Leaving Meow (Part )

"scare!!!!"

Suddenly I realized I was discovered, and at that moment I put on a dangerous look, ready to run away at any time, and then...

A small white hand reached in, holding a handful of dried fish.

The cat watched the hand put the dried fish in front of it and then stepped back.

It raised its head in confusion, and then it looked back at those eyes, with a hint of blue in the deep black, thin white eyebrows as pure as snow, and the long hair on its forehead emitting a silvery luster in the sun.

The cat was stunned because the owner of these eyes just smiled at it.

The cat began to pace around in this small space impatiently. It really wanted to draw that smile, but in the end it could only lie there depressed.

I can't answer this question for you, because I'm just a cat.jpg

(What a rare beauty!)

The cat lay there still thinking about the girl and her beautiful smile. However, if it thought about what it had heard the group of people outside say before, this young lady might be the owner of this car and the source of danger on this journey.

(As expected, beautiful women have always been the source of trouble)

It lay there eating the dried fish given by the girl.

(a bit salty)

………………

After a while, the carriage started moving, and no one tried to kick him out. But when he thought about it, it made sense because the owner of the carriage had already given him food, so he probably wouldn't kick him out even if other people found out.

(That’s great, meow)

Before we set out, I was afraid that I would be hungry on the road, so I asked the captain for a little more food. I didn't expect to receive such treatment once I got on the bus.

Feeling the swaying car body and looking out through the gap, the unknown town surrounded by earth walls was getting farther and farther away from me.

(Ah, goodbye, the place where I was born)

Parting is the most painful thing, especially for those who study art. The more emotional they are, the more sad they will be about parting.

But to be honest, the cat is not sad at all now, and even feels heartless. Maybe this is the difference between humans and animals.

(Hmm? I feel offended)

Just as the cat was slowly moving away from the town with the car, in the deep forest beside the town, in a damp and cold corner with moss-covered rock walls around, a long black, colorful and glittering figure stared at the direction the cat had left, looking helplessly at the "person" above its head.

"Hey, that little guy is so talented, why did you scare him away?"

The "man" looked down at the huge figure under his feet and stomped hard on the big guy's head twice.

"I don't like hairy guys!"

Feeling as if his head had been stepped on twice, the big guy helplessly lowered himself to the ground and turned to walk into the center of the forest.

Then I seemed to hear the big guy mumbling to himself.

"Hey, you're obviously a girl, but you don't like this kind of furry and cute creature. Women... Ouch! Miss, be gentle!!"

………………

After the road shook for a while, the vehicle finally stabilized. The cat quietly poked its head out from the gap and took a look. It found that the road surface was surprisingly very flat. Moreover, after such a heavy vehicle passed over the road surface, there was no trace left at all, which was enough to show the hardness of this road.

(I didn't expect the construction work in this world to be so advanced?)

The cat was amazed at the construction craftsmanship of this road. The main road of the small town where it was born was made of rough large stone slabs. There were huge gaps in the contact areas of each stone slab, and the carriages here did not have any shock-absorbing function.

Therefore, the vehicle shakes a lot when driving on that kind of road. Except in small towns, the main roads are also covered with coarse sand. Although it can indeed achieve a certain shock-absorbing effect, there are still various large and small stones on the road that hit the wheels and cause the vehicle to shake.

After the carriage got on this road, the speed of the carriage increased significantly, and the sun gradually slid from the top of the head to the mountains in the west.

But the cat is not worried at all. Although it cannot see whether the vehicle is heading towards its destination, it can infer from the signs of human activities gradually appearing on both sides of the road that it should be getting closer to the next human activity point. However, the gradually darkening sky also makes people feel nervous.

“Ouch!!!!”

The carriage, which was originally moving fast, suddenly slowed down, and one could hear the panicked voices of the people in the carriage.

(Shit, is something really going to happen?)

Chapter 7 Mutation

(Shit, something really happened?)

The cat stood up in panic and crawled out of the gap along the cargo, then found that the carriage was surrounded by a group of people in black clothes. The guards on the carriage were now surrounding the carriage to protect it, and the white-haired lady seen before should be hiding in the carriage.

The atmosphere was very tense at the time and no one noticed the little guy who suddenly came out from the cargo.

"Hey! Do you know who owns this car? I advise you to wake up and don't do things that you shouldn't do on Shinto!"

Faced with this sudden ambush, the captain of the guard was so panicked that he was incoherent and his words lacked any logic.

However, none of the people surrounding them spoke to fight back. Instead, they quietly held their weapons and took offensive postures.

"Hey, hey, hey... We can discuss any terms you want! This is Shinto! If you kill someone here, you will be punished by God!!"

Seeing this group of suspected robbers behaving so toughly, all the guards were panicked. The only straw that could save them at this moment was the "Sacred Road" under their feet. This was a miracle that came down after the empire prayed to the temple. The 188 roads connected the major central cities of the empire.
