”Meow! Meow! Meow!” The mother in the delivery room next door came in through the baby monitor.
Famous was very tired, both physically and mentally. It woke up when Zhang Zian left in the middle of the night, and it had planned to wait for him, but after a while, it fell asleep.
Famous felt like it had just shut its eyes when Galaxy started making noises. ”Meow! Meow!”
”Galaxy, they're meowing because they're in labor. Why are you meowing?”
”Famous, are you talking in your sleep? It's time to wake up, we need to get going as soon as possible. It's getting late.”
Famous opened its eyes, confused. It was the middle of the night, where did they have to be? Next door to help with the delivery? It was a dog, how could it help a cat in labor?
The sun rose from the east, and since it was blocked by the mountains, the sunlight hadn't yet to made its way into the valley.
It looked like it rained last night, as the green striped stones at the entrance of the temple were wet.
Old Time Tea smiled at Famous from its seat on the praying mat.
Famous stood up and yawned. It was very hard for it to get a normal night's sleep, it always lingered between the real world and the imaginary world.
”There's some braised meat and roasted potatoes over there, we'll leave once you've eaten.” Old Time Tea pointed at the incense altar. ”I overheard the Wu's servants talking, and it seems like the bridal accompaniment for the Wu's daughter is setting off today. If we're late, there might be unnecessary trouble.”
”Old Time Tea, have you eaten?” Famous asked.
”Yes,” Old Time Tea answered.
Famous never rejected food, and finished the meat and potato in just a few bites. It licked its lips and let out a huge burp.
Galaxy could be heard from outside the temple. Famous looked towards the sound to see Galaxy pounce towards a yellow butterfly. The butterfly's wings might've been wet because it was flying slow and awkwardly before Galaxy caught it in its paws. Galaxy didn't harm the butterfly, it just carefully examined it before letting it go.
”Famous, check if there's anything we left in the temple. Once we leave for Binhai Town, we won't be coming back, so we should bring anything that might be useful,” Old Time Tea reminded Famous.
The trip to Binhai Town wasn't a short one, and since they'd be walking the whole way, the probability of them returning was very low. Even if they did return, it'd be like three years from now.
What would Famous need to bring? Old Time Tea was actually just reminding it that they might never see the Temple for the Righteous Cat and Chivalrous Dog again.
Famous stepped outside and looked at the temple that had sheltered them for more than half a year.
The temple's plaque had lost its shine after a few months of exposure to rain and wind. The sun rose higher and lit up the tiles that were at the tip of the temple. There were budding sprouts in the tiny slits between the tiles.
Now that they were about to leave the temple, they couldn't help but feel heartache.
Would anyone come to take care of the temple? To light incense and pray? Most importantly, would anyone remember that a dog and cat used to live in the temple?
