C354 The strength of cat slave

"Hey!" Why are there so many cats outside? " Early morning of the second day, before Xiao Wen could even get up, he heard Sun Shangxiang's voice from outside the window.

He knew that Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yu had awoken much earlier than him now. Every morning, before breakfast, they would carry out some activities to prepare in the courtyard. After everything was done, they would run a few kilometers outside to prepare for the day's training.

Xiao Wen opened his eyes slightly. He saw that the morning light was hazy outside and his eyes were bright. Considering the fact that it was already summer, he had woken up rather early today.

So he put on his clothes, and the servant who served him handed him the basin and the washcloth.

After washing his face, Xiao Wen walked out of the bedroom wearing his pajamas.

In the courtyard, he saw Sun Shangxiang squatting in the corridor curiously, looking at the scenery in the middle of the courtyard. Guan Yu, who was at the side, looked at her with a helpless expression.

"What's wrong? It was very noisy outside early in the morning. " Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was actually looking at the courtyard, Xiao Wen walked over and asked.

"Mister!" Guan Yu and Sun Shangxiang first bowed towards Xiao Wen, then Sun Shangxiang said as he pointed to the courtyard, "When I woke up early in the morning, I realized that for some reason, there are actually so many cats in the courtyard."

"Cat?" Xiao Wen, who was an experienced feces shoveling officer in his previous life, became energetic in an instant. He looked at the courtyard not far away. Sure enough, there were many cats lying on the ground.

"Sir, will these cats be okay?" Why are they all lying in the yard? " Sun Shangxiang was a little worried. It could be seen that even if she didn't have a cat, she should still be someone who liked cats.

Therefore, when she saw so many cats lying on the ground in the yard, besides the curiosity in her eyes, there was also some worry.

Xiao Wen was startled, he felt that he had seen this somewhere before.

Although the cat was lying dead on the ground, some of it was unconscious and some of it was convulsing. However, Xiao Wen's body did not seem to be worried at all, on the contrary, he wanted to laugh a little.

This feeling of being a veteran fecal shoveling officer made Xiao Wen realize something. He quickly went into the yard and carefully examined the plants.

Sure enough, he quickly found a few plants that had been destroyed by the kittens among the flowers in the courtyard.

"Quaternary, base purple-red, upper part much branched. Leaves opposite, basal leaves petiolate or nearly barrelless, pinnately parted to 3-5; lobes linear to linear-polar, entire, both surfaces pilose, lower glandular concave, veins inconspicuous. " Xiao Wen looked at these few plants and muttered to himself.

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang who followed along did not understand. She asked, "What are you talking about, sir?"

Xiao Wen pointed to the few plants and said: "I'm talking about their shape and characteristics."

When Xiao Wen was in culture class, he had also talked to Guan Yu and Sun Shangxiang about the knowledge of botany. After all, they could not be by Xiao Wen's side forever, so they must definitely learn medicine.

In this backward era, the most important thing in medicine was herbal medicine.

Therefore, Xiao Wen placed great importance on the teaching of herbology and its prerequisite for botany. And because of this, Sun Shangxiang understood what Xiao Wen had to say after hearing his string of terms.

She quickly looked at the plants. Sure enough, just as Xiao Wen had said, although these few plants had been trampled on by cats before, the morphological characteristics of these plants could still be seen. Just as Xiao Wen had said, "Four-edged, with purplish red roots, most of the plants have branches at the top. Leaves opposite, basal leaves petiolate or nearly barrelless, pinnately parted to 3-5; lobes linear to linear-polar, entire, both surfaces pilose, lower glandular concave, veins inconspicuous. "

However, Sun Shangxiang still did not understand, what did all of this have to do with cats.

Xiao Wen did not immediately explain anything. Instead, he looked towards a cat that was twitching on the spot.

In the morning light, Xiao Wen could see that this cat was orange and white. Although it was ancient times, this kind of fur color did not disappoint Xiao Wen. The cat looked like a ball of meat. With the stomach that rolled over, Xiao Wen felt that he was hearing things, as if the cat was saying: "Old man, come! It's so refreshing! "

Without hesitation, Xiao Wen reached out his hand and placed it on the orange cat's stomach, beginning to peck at it.

At the same time, he explained to Sun Shangxiang: "This thing is called catnip, nicknamed camphor grass, cool mint, barley hair, mint, mint, fennel, bramble, little bramble, and elm. is a native African plant. To humans, this was a medicinal herb that wasn't too useful. But to a cat, it's magical. "

"About 70 percent of cats are interested in the smell of the grass and like to scratch it, but that doesn't mean cats need to eat catnip to stay healthy. In fact, catnip is a plant that can cause hallucinations, and some changes in behavior after consumption, such as sneezing, chewing, rubbing, rolling, meowing, delirium, etc. Some cats chase imaginary mice after eating catnip, while others sit around staring blankly. These actions do not cause any harm, and catnip is not addictive. In short, catnip does not substantially harm the health of cats. " Xiao Wen explained to Sun Shangxiang the cat mint.

"Is it useful to other creatures?" Sun Shangxiang was very curious. Even someone as experienced and knowledgeable as her couldn't have imagined that there would be such a magical thing in the world.

"It's also useful for tigers, cheetahs, and lynx. But it is of no use to lions. " Xiao Wen said.

Then, he looked at the servants at the side. These servants belonged to this courtyard, so they should be very familiar with everything here.

So Xiao Wen asked: "Do you know who planted this thing?"

"My Lord, this was planted by an envoy from the Western Regions." the servant said.

"Which country? Remember? "

"Egypt, I think?"

Xiao Wen immediately understood that it was that group of veteran cat slaves by the Nile! Indeed, they admired things like this, which originated in Africa and had magical effects on cats. It was normal for him to bring this kind of thing to China.

Just then, the little orange cat that was being touched by Xiao Wen suddenly became quick-witted. Perhaps because Xiao Wen's methods were unfamiliar, it was not comfortable enough to touch, so he immediately bit it.

But before it could bite, Xiao Wen retracted his hand and directly dodged it. Then, he stroked the little orange cat's chin, causing the cat to immediately fall into a state of intoxication.

Throughout the entire process, Xiao Wen had only seen the movements of the catnip without using his eyes to look at the tangerine cat.

Watching this process, Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yu were not only shocked.

After all, a cat's reaction speed is seven times faster than a snake's. Under this kind of speed, Xiao Wen was actually able to dodge Cat's attack without even looking. Sun Shangxiang and Guan Yu both thought to themselves, they probably didn't have this kind of ability.

Unless he specially trained it thousands of times, it would be impossible to succeed.

"So it turns out that Teacher normally says that his strength is average? That's all just a lie. Actually, he just wanted to hide his strength. In fact, he is an expert! " Sun Shangxiang's eyes lit up as she looked at Xiao Wen. It was as if she was looking at a new continent.

And Guan Yu was the same. Although Guan Yu had improved his physical fitness by leaps and bounds, he still managed to improve his physical fitness by leaps and bounds. It could be said that every inch of his muscles had developed to perfection when compared to his peers.

However, he knew his own body's weakness.

Compared to the strength of the muscles, the strengthening of the reflexes was limited by physical fitness alone. However, he knew that Xiao Wen had his own arrangements, and it was not good for him to let Xiao Wen disrupt his teaching process — — After all, Xiao Wen had always been teaching very well. Not only had his strength increased by leaps and bounds, he had also defeated the Hua Xiong who was originally the most famous in the entire world, and he had even defeated the Lv Bu who was the most famous man in the world.

Right now, he was the most famous expert among the big man's generation. He was publicly acknowledged as the strongest expert. Carrying this title, Guan Yu believed that as long as he could maintain his current rate of increase in strength, the strongest position in the young generation, the future Great General would definitely belong to him.

"I wonder when I will be as strong as Mr. Xiao Wen!" Guan Yu thought.
