Chapter 387 The branch attacks

In the afternoon, Chu Lixuan did not go out, so Ning Muqing had a leisurely day. She happily sat in the yard and watched Xiangxiang sweep the snow.

Suddenly, I don't know when there was a cat meowing.

The sound was so weak that Ning Muqing almost thought it was her imagination, until she heard intermittent meows later.

Suddenly while clearing the snow, Xiangxiang found a litter of kittens.

It was quite scary to suddenly see a nest of furry things. Xiangxiang thought it was a mouse at first, but she didn't feel so scared after seeing clearly that it was a litter of kittens given birth to by a female cat.

"Miss, look at this litter of kittens that have just opened their eyes. They are so small and they don't seem to be able to crawl yet. What do you think they will do if they freeze to death in this icy and snowy environment?"

Xiangxiang sympathized with the litter of kittens that could only rely on the warmth of the mother cat.

It will be even colder in the next few days. Half of them will die if they are born in this weather, or even the female cat may not survive.

Ning Muqing walked over and took a look. The kittens were all glowing orange, and their fur was very light. The little one had just opened its eyes and would breathe when people came near them.

The female cat was very skinny and it looked like she didn't have much milk/water, but the kitten was still pushing towards the female cat, crying out for food, and it looked like it was hungry.

It was very cold in the yard, and there was no room for the kittens and their family as far as the eye could see.

"Xiangxiang, ask someone to build a small house to cover the snow for the family of five. Then go to the palace kitchen and ask for some goat's milk and raw meat. Give the goat's milk to the kittens. Don't add salt to the female cat after boiling the raw meat. .”

Ning Muqing ordered very calmly.

Xiangxiang trotted off to do some errands, and soon came back with a lot of meat and warm goat milk.

Ning Muqing took a teapot with a small mouth and filled it with goat's milk. She put the teapot's spout to the kitten's mouth. The kitten smelled the fragrance of the goat's milk and came to the pacifier. It used the teapot while eating. The paw steps on the teapot.

After a while, the four little orange cats were all full, their bellies were swollen from drinking, and they lay down next to the mother cat and fell asleep.

When the mother cat saw that the kittens were full, she started to wolf down the remaining goat milk.

Ning Muqing touched the female cat's head and said, "Eat slowly, I also asked the kitchen to cook meat for you, so you can save some meat for later."

The female cat was obviously hungry. After the meat was served, she quickly ate up the whole plate of meat.

Ning Muqing chuckled and said, "This little kitten is quite good at finding a place. She won't run away when she sees us. Xiangxiang, have you gone to see Butler Zhou? We have to find a safe place for these little guys. Build them a little house so they don’t freeze to death.”

"Miss, after I talked to Housekeeper Zhou, Housekeeper Zhou said that as the New Year is approaching, everyone from the mud team has gone back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year. I'm afraid they can't find anyone."

Xiangxiang said with a sad face.

"Besides the brick and mortar team, don't we have anyone else who can build a small house in our palace? Do Chai Yan and Yue Lin know it? I think they know martial arts and can fight. It shouldn't be a problem to build a house."

Ning Muqing asked.

Xiangxiang shook his head and said, "I heard that Guard Chai Yan and Guard Yue Lin were dispatched by the prince today. How about we put them in the house first?"

"It's not impossible, but if they are placed in a house, they will not feel safe in such a big house. We can't find them even if we hide. Since there is no one, I will do it myself."

Ning Muqing felt that building a house was not difficult. After taking a look at the palace, it seemed that all the materials were available, so she might as well do it herself. "Miss, you must not do this. You have never learned how to build a house. What if you get injured? Or you can direct from the side and let the guards do it!"

When Xiangxiang heard this, he was immediately frightened.

Ning Muqing felt that this was a trivial matter. Since the masonry team was not here, there was no need to trouble others. He said, "We don't need their help. This matter is very simple."

Not only men can do this, she can do it too.

Isn’t it just building a house? Is it possible to perform delicate and complicated surgeries?

Ning Muqing felt that she could handle it easily.

She used to watch videos of house building in Xuxian Modern, and she knew everything about how to lay the foundation and build the house.

Xiangxiang and the other maids in Zhulin Courtyard all looked at Ning Muqing with shocked eyes. Their princess was really amazing and knew everything.

The ancients mainly built houses with wood, bricks, and a small amount of stones. They tried their best to choose the stones with regular shapes, but after all, these things are natural and cannot be as square as red bricks.

After laying the stones into a brick as much as possible, use a paste mixed with lime, glutinous rice and egg white as an adhesive to finally glue the stones together.

"Miss, how can you do such a rough job? Otherwise, let the slaves do it."

When Xiangxiang saw Ning Muqing going to get the stone, she immediately flinched. She quickly stopped Ning Muqing and wanted to do it herself.

Ning Muqing waved her hand and said, "No need, I can still do this little thing. Hurry up and ask the guards to move more rocks."

Seeing that Ning Muqing was very insistent, Xiangxiang did not dare to say anything and quickly urged the guards to move all the stones for the small house.

Soon, Ning Muqing built the wall, and then just put the tiles on and there would be no problem.

Ning Muqing carefully covered the tiles little by little. After the last piece was built, the small house was completed. She carefully held all the kittens in her hands, and had people bring mattresses to cover the floor to keep the kittens warm. Finally, Slowly put the cats in one by one.

Seeing this scene, Xiangxiang and the others also felt a sense of accomplishment, "Miss, you are so amazing. I never thought you could actually build a small house. Moreover, we helped this litter of kittens. There is a sense of self." The feeling of doing something good.”

"What's so difficult about building a house? As a woman, I can do anything a man can do. This kind of thing is interesting only if you do it yourself." Ning Muqing said with confidence.

She also feels that the process of saving a life is very fulfilling.

She even wanted to take this opportunity to do something. It had been a long time since she had done something personally.

After Ning Muqing finished speaking, she carefully brought the warm goat milk to the kitten again.

Everyone was enjoying themselves watching this scene, but suddenly there was a crunching sound on Ning Muqing's head. It was the heavy snow that crushed the fragile branch, and the branch came straight towards Ning Muqing's head. .

Ning Muqing held the kitten in her hand. If she evacuated directly like this, she was afraid that the branches would hit the cat house and the house might collapse.

If you can't dodge, the kitten will be crushed to death inside the house.

Ning Muqing had no way to retreat.
