Chapter 957 Bronze Sparrow Spring Locks Orange Cats
The dilapidated wing room in front of me was surrounded by messy weeds, the broken plaques were mottled, and the original handwriting could no longer be seen.
Perhaps a hundred or two hundred years ago, a concubine who was sent to the cold palace lived here for a long time, and the ancient Buddha of Qinglantern gave birth to this life.
Or maybe, an old eunuch who was very popular but suddenly fell out of favor once hanged himself in a white silk.
It is more likely that more than one palace maid could not bear the difficulties and humiliation of the concubine or eunuch and was corpse here...
The rumors of haunted in the Forbidden City have been talked about for a long time because there are too many unknown secrets in the palace.
Seeing Wen Li shouting at the empty room, when he thought of this, Zhang Zi'an felt that his back was cold, but he felt that he was not afraid, but more strange. After all, it was now in broad daylight, and even if there were ghosts, he couldn't make trouble. Instead, he felt that Wen Li, as a dignified Forbidden City employee, shouldn't have such feudal superstitious activities?
After Wen Li finished calling, she carried the useless door panel and put it aside, and entered the house by herself. After a while, she found that Zhang Zian had not followed in, so she walked out again.
"Please come in." She gestured as usual.
"That... I can't speak loudly if I don't vomit. Who were you talking to just now?" Zhang Zian asked.
Wen Li was stunned and immediately woke up, and smiled and said, "Oh, I'm talking to Dazhuang!"
It turns out that every night, the Forbidden City staff would lock the doors of each palace when they get off work, and when they come to work the next morning, they would get the keys to open the palace door.
Before opening the door, most employees will follow a conventional rule, which is to cough loudly or shout "I'm in." This is not to shout at the lonely ghosts wandering in the Forbidden City, but to the small animals living in the palace, reminding them that someone is coming in to prevent them from being scared.
The Forbidden City is mainly made of wooden buildings, with many trees and grass, with a large area, and the environment in the unopened area is quiet, and the entire Forbidden City is almost deserted at night. In addition to stray cats, there are other small animals entrenched here, such as weasels, snakes, hedgehogs, etc. No one knows when they moved in.
The person shouted outside the door, intending to remind these small animals to be prepared, hide what should be avoided, and run away, so as not to jump out of the door and hurt people or scare people.
This tradition does not start from the present, but can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. Because there are more than 8,000 houses in the Forbidden City, it is impossible for people to live in, and vacant houses may be entrenched by small animals. A shout before entering the door, allowing the small animals to retreat consciously and avoid water from the wells of humans.
After she explained in detail, Zhang Zian suddenly realized. As expected, the journey is like a mountain. If you don’t say it, you don’t know that all walks of life have their own old rules, such as the cultural relics workers in the Forbidden City, and the pet industry. Just like the "Secret of the Cats" that don’t buy cats under four months is actually an experience, but few people have followed them now.
Zhang Zi'an put his heart back in his stomach and followed her into the dim wing room.
"Be careful, the room is dark, don't sprain your ankle." Wen Li reminded kindly, then waved her hand to the corner, "Dazhuang, we're here to see you."
Another feature of the Forbidden City is that there are very few lighting equipment in the palace, which is for fire prevention, but this also makes every palace very dim. As soon as you walk into the house from the sunny outdoor, your eyes will not be able to adapt for a while.
Zhang Zi'an stood there for a while, and when his eyes got used to the light, he followed Wen Li's gaze and looked towards the corner.
There was a straw mat on it, and an orange cat was squatting on the straw mat, and an aluminum alloy water basin and food basin were placed next to it.
Judging from the average size of the stray cat in the Forbidden City and the average size of the orange cat, this orange cat is really not fat, and it can even be said to be quite slim.
It hung its head listlessly as if it had not woken up. Hearing Wenli's call, he looked up at her. From his eyes, he could tell that it knew her, but soon lowered his head.
The room was dark and the distance was a little far, so the specific situation was not clear, but Zhang Zian could see a trace of crystal saliva dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Wen Li introduced: "This is Dazhuang. Before I joined the company here, it was here. It is an old cat. I don't know how old it is. In the past two days, it suddenly became very unstimulated and sometimes drooled. We think it may be because it is too old."
After Zhang Zi'an entered the house, he kept standing at the door, blocking the way in.
Fina's natural curiosity made it want to go into the house, but he could not get in from the road. It did not want to condescend to jump into the window, and kept pulling the corners of his pants behind him and letting him dodge.
Zhang Zi'an put one hand behind him, waved his hand secretly, signaling the elves not to follow in and play in the yard.
He is not a veterinarian, but he is familiar with common diseases of cats and dogs. He can tell at a glance that the cat is in a wrong state, and may have suffered from some infectious disease.
If the elves follow in, there may be a risk of being infected.
Wenli wanted to walk over and carry Dazhuang outside to bask in the sun, but was stopped by Zhang Zi'an.
"Wait, it may have an infectious disease," he said, reaching out to take out disposable plastic gloves from his pocket and putting them on.
He doesn't know what to expect, so how could he prepare disposable gloves in advance?
This glove was provided when buying breakfast outside the Forbidden City, so that customers would not get covered with hand oil when eating. Because he wanted to feed the elves, he bought more breakfasts. The stall owner thought he bought more servings from multiple people, so he gave him a few more pairs of disposable gloves. After he used one, he was reluctant to throw away the other pairs and stuffed them into his pockets. Unexpectedly, he really used them...
Speaking of which, this capital is very particular. Even the breakfast stalls are thoughtfully equipped with disposable gloves, so that white-collar beauty and cbd elites can avoid the trouble of washing their hands after breakfast. Of course, the price is also very particular. The wool comes from the sheep.
Wen Li didn't know the inside story, but when she saw that he had always had disposable gloves with her, she felt a little more admiration. She thought she was indeed a professional, but it was different.
The three-colored cat Xiaoxue also followed behind, and Zhang Zian asked Wenli to stop him and not let him in.
He slowly approached Dazhuang.
Dazhuang was not very welcome to his arrival, shook his head in annoyance, and spread his tongue and swung his saliva around. However, because it was physically exhausted, it could not resist or escape further, which also meant that there was something wrong with its nose and could not smell the smell of Fina on him.
Zhang Zi'an reached his hand behind his neck, grabbed it unexpectedly from behind, then picked it up, and half forcedly opened its mouth, and saw a large area of ulcers from its mouth and tongue. 8)
