Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Famous understood the purpose of the house when it saw the sign Temple for the Righteous Cat and Chivalrous Dog. In the real history, Old Time Tea must had saved Wu Ning by itself so there shouldn't have been ”Chivalrous Dog” part. Wu Hancheng and Wu Ning made this temple to thank Old Time Tea for its help.

The memory of Old Time Tea changed due Famous showing up.

This temple was not big, but it had everything. The pillars were covered in Wutong oil, so shiny that you could see your reflection. The roof was covered with glass tiles. Although its size was only a little bigger than the master bedroom in the pet shop, it was really something compared to everything else in this s***hole. People didn't normally build a house to show gratitude.

For Old Time Tea and Famous, the temple was nice. At least they had a place to stay. Mosquitos in this mountain were brutal at night.

The light inside the temple was dim, for humans, not for Old Time Tea and Famous.

The layout of the temple was pretty simple. There was a table covered with a yellow tablecloth and on it, there were smoked fish, steamed pork, and roasted duck.

Three tablets sat next to each other behind the table. The middle one said ”My rescuer's, Amazing Fate Pet Shop, place,” along with Zhang Zian's phone number.

The other two tablets, from left to right, said My Rescuer's, the Righteous Cat, Place and My Rescuer's, the Chivalrous Dog, Place.

Old Time Tea didn't know how to react, while Famous didn't care about it. Famous raised one of its paws, pointing at the roasted duck. ”Is that for us?”

”I think so.” Old Time Tea figured this must be from the Wu family.

Famous was so hungry, it didn't care what Old Time Tea thought and just grabbed the roast duck from the table.

In front of the table, there were three yellow futons for visitors, though Old Time Tea doubted there would be any visitors. In front of the futons, there was a china made furnace, with three lit pieces of sandalwood. The green smoke came out slowly up.

Famous sat on the futon and happily ate the roasted duck.

Old Time Tea grabbed the smoked fish, and after taking the fishbone out, ate it slowly.

There were sculptures of a cat and a dog. Famous looked at them while it was eating. The two sculptures were wearing robes, and they were standing on their back paws with their front paws in front of them like they were shaking hands. They looked super weird, like they had human bodies, but a dog's head and a cat's head.

Old Time Tea and Famous didn't like the smell of sandalwood, so they put it out and went to sleep in their own futons.

It was much colder in this memory than in modern society. Famous was grateful to have this temple to stay warm. It didn't know how long it had to stay in Old Time Tea's memory. This world was too real. It didn't want to freeze to death.

As night approached, nocturnal animals became active and wild animals started howling in the distance. Famous and Old Time Tea could hear some small animals fight for the fishbone and duck bone that Old Time Tea and Famous threw out. Some bold animals even tried to steal the steamed pork head, but were scared off by Old Time Tea's meow.

”Brother Famous, tell me more about the pet shop.” Old Time Tea wasn't used to going to sleep early, so it turned over on the futon. Its eyes shining in the dark.

The days they had nothing to do, Famous told Old Time Tea about the pet shop. Some stories of its own experiences, some were news it heard from others. Old Time Tea was intrigued by the interesting new world and wanted to go there.

Famous was drowsy. ”Don't call me Brother Famous, it's just Famous. What do you want to know?”

”What kind of person is Zhang Zian?” Old Time Tea was curious about this guy who, in one hundred years, would become his disciple.

Famous thought about it and felt it was hard to describe someone in just few sentences, so it just said, ”All the pets in the shop agree that he is a petty loser without a girlfriend.”

This only Old Time Tea intrigued more. If Famous described him as a saint, then everything would make sense. However, from what Famous had said, it couldn't find a reason that it would take him as a disciple. There must be another reason for it to do that. It'd like to believed that it wouldn't just randomly pick someone as a student, even when it got older.

Before it could ask another question, it heard Famous snoring.

Old Time Tea turned around again, thinking about the beautiful future ahead and finally fell asleep.

...

The next morning, sunlight fell on Famous' eyelids through the gap of doors. It shook its head and woke up.

After a while, Old Time Tea woke up as well, and stretched.

The steamed pork head was too big for them to eat, but they shared and left plenty. They didn't like the taste, but they didn't want to starve, especially Old Time Tea as it didn't want to go out and eat raw meat.

They pushed the door open. It was a nice, sunny day. Dewdrops sparkled on the grass.

It was Old Time Tea's routine to exercise every morning. It used to run in the forest, but when the people were building the temple, they made an open area in front of the temple, whitewashed it and added some secret liquid to repel grass and insects. Ever since then, Old Time Tea exercised here.

Famous went to the forest to freshen up, then squatted on the stairs of the temple to take in the sun and watch Old Time Tea jumping around. To it, it looked like Old Time Tea was just playing.

About 10 minutes later, Old Time Tea suddenly stopped and meowed. It raised its paw and observed it carefully.

”What's wrong, Old Time Tea? Did you twist your arm?” Famous asked. ”Zhang Zian does warm ups every day before he starts boxing, he said it prevents injuries.”

”Nah,” Old Time Tea shook its head, seeming unsure, ”I don't know if it's just an illusion, but I feel stronger and faster than usual.”

Famous thought about it and guessed, ”Is it because the food we ate is better than food from the forest? What did you usually eat, Old Time Tea?”

”I don't think it's because of that.” Old Time Tea walked towards Famous. ”Brother Famous, go run or jump to see if you feel different.”

Famous ran a circle then jumped and said with its tongue out, ”No, I don't feel any different. Are you sleeping too much? Isn't feeling different sometimes a normal thing? We aren't robots.”

Actually, it ran slower than usual because it ate too much yesterday and its stomach still didn't feel well.

Old Time Tea inhaled deeply, doubted if it was feeling wrong. It then left the question and asked: ”Brother Famous, what are robots?”

”...”

It wasn't in the mood to explain things.
