Strange Cards

Qi Wu drove up, and after waiting for a while, Li Shun drove up in an SUV with a truck.

After the three vehicles boarded the boat, Yanyun closed the entrance and slowly steered the boat toward the island.

"Uh, hello, these are the cat supplies you ordered, right?"

A driver jumped off the truck, holding a cell phone in his hand.

"Yes, it's me. How much is it in total?"

"Seventy thousand, and we'll include installation."

"OK."

Shi Yu readily scanned the code to pay, and just then Yan Yun had already moored the boat at the shore.

Qi Wu led everyone to Shi Yu's house, and soon after, Liu An and Yu Yan got out of Li Shun's car.

"Sister Liu An, what brings you two here?"

"I knew right away that you hadn't gone to pack up your old house. I had Shunzi take me there to take care of it. All your things have been brought back, and the paperwork over there has been completed."

"Yu Yan just wanted to come and play with the cat."

"Let's go, let's go inside and take a look at your house."

Liu An led Shi Yu and Bai Yu into the house, while Qi Wu got out of the car and opened the trunk, whereupon the cats jumped out like a tidal wave.

Shi Yu nodded as she looked at the cozy two-story villa, while Liu An helped Shi Yu put all her things in the house before leaving.

After touring the house, Shiyu led Baiyu outside and exclaimed in amazement at the huge, interconnected courtyard.

"Hunters have such great benefits, they provide food, lodging, and even housing."

"You'll understand later."

As he spoke, Qi Wu, holding the tortoiseshell cat in his arms, addressed Shi Yu.

"I'll take this one."

"Boss, put them down first. These guys haven't had a bath in all this time. Let's clean them up first."

Qi Wu nodded, then ran home and brought out a huge inflatable swimming pool. He then inflated it and filled it with water.

Meanwhile, the installers who had finished installing all the cat supplies unloaded a large amount of cat litter, canned cat food, and cat treats from the truck.

"Everything you ordered has been installed. Call us if you have any problems. Ten-year warranty."

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."

Shiyu, being quite perceptive, pulled out a bunch of red bills from his person and gave each of the masters two hundred.

"Thank you for your hard work. We don't have any cigarettes here, so please use this money to buy whatever you want to smoke."

The workers declined for a while, but eventually accepted the two hundred yuan. After all, no one who works would turn down money.

After the craftsmen received the money, they left with smiles on their faces. Then Qi Wu took the wooden box down, opened it, and revealed the android inside.

"This is Yanyun's robot. It will stay here to take care of the cats and help clean the house."

As he spoke, Qi Wu pressed the activation button, and the robot started moving shortly afterward.

Yu Yan pinched the robot's face and found that it felt almost the same as the real thing.

"Is it that high-end?"

Qi Wu slapped Yu Yan's head in an annoyed tone.

"Do you think our technology is just for show?"

Soon the inflatable pool was filled with air and water at a suitable temperature, and then Qi Wu's wife Gu Yue and daughter Qi Nannan came out.

Hello everyone, it's been a long time!

Gu Yue spoke gently, then reached out her hand to Shi Yu.

"Hello, new kid who joined the Hunters. Qi Wu and I mentioned you."

Shi Yu glanced at the cat hair on her hand, wiped it on her clothes, and then shook hands with Gu Yue.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hehe, don't be so formal."

Qi Nannan then came out, put the little tortoiseshell into the pool, and began to bathe it.

The group helped bathe the cats, and even Bai Yu, who usually dislikes getting wet, helped the calico and tabby cats bathe in the tub.

After a while of being tired, I finally got all thirty-odd cats clean. With the help of two giant cat dryers, the cats dried in no time.

At this moment, Shiyu patted Yanyun on the shoulder and said.

"You'll be in charge of controlling all the automatic food dispensers and water fountains for these cats, feeding them at fixed times every day."

"Those cat beds are unnecessary; they can go wherever they want."

After giving instructions to Yanyun, Shiyu patted the raccoon dog's head and said.

"My promise has been fulfilled. From now on, this courtyard will be your home."

"Here's a rule for you: you're not allowed to arrest anyone. Since only your sister-in-law and the eldest son's daughter usually live on this island, you can't refuse if they want to play with you."

"After all, you sometimes need their help."

"There are plenty of places to play on the island, but don't go near the water; it's dangerous."

"There are cat trees and scratching posts here. If you really want to go outside to play, you need to make sure all the cats come back before dark."

Tanuki nodded, and even Sanka came over and rubbed against Shigure's hand.

At this moment, Qi Nannan ran up to Shi Yu, holding the tortoiseshell kitten in her arms.

"Brother Shiyu, can I take this cat home with me?"

Shi Yu smiled and patted Qi Nannan's head.

"You can take any of them you like home. They are all very obedient and won't scratch or bite you."

"Anyway, our yards are all connected, so if you want to play with them, just come over."

"Yay! Shigure-nii is the best!"

As she spoke, Qi Nannan hugged Shi Yu, while Qi Wu, who was standing to the side, almost ground his back teeth to powder.

Yu Yan was holding a cat in her arms and another was perched on her shoulder, laughing obliviously.

"Hahahaha!!! Boss, you've finally met your match!!!"

"You'll get what you deserve for not letting me drink AD calcium milk!!! May you be struck by lightning!!!!"

"Wuhu!!!! Take off!!!"

Qi Wu looked at Yu Yan, who was laughing carefree, put the two cats down, grabbed Yu Yan and made her fly up.

Then Yu Yan's screams echoed throughout the entire island, a sound that nearly made June Snow howl out.

After receiving the tortoiseshell kitten, Qi Nannan ran back with a big smile on her face, and even Gu Yue was captivated by the cat.

Later on, Qi Nannan's daily routine consisted of going to school and then playing with the cat after school. She didn't even care much about her father, Qi Wu.

Even Gu Yue was learning about cat care, and the two of them completely forgot about Qi Wu.

At this moment, Liu An stood beside Shi Yu and gently patted Shi Yu's shoulder.

"How does it feel?"

"It feels pretty good to keep my promise, after all..."

"I guess this is their way of thanking me for taking care of Baiyu for so many years."
