By the time he finished selling, it was already late. Chu Mingcheng hurried home to feed Xiao Mi, who had, besides cat food, a steamed mackerel that was ready for dinner.
Chu Mingcheng carefully stripped the fish flesh, cut off and discarded the small bones on the spine, and then cut the remaining spine into sections to feed to Xiao Mi along with the fish flesh and head.
Xiao Mi ate voraciously. Perhaps because it grew up outdoors, it wasn't picky like some other pets.
After petting twice, Chu Mingcheng gently touched its belly and felt that it seemed to be getting bigger.
This worried him a bit, so he decided not to go fishing tomorrow and instead take Xiao Mi to the hospital for a checkup.
When he drove back to town and just got home, he saw Mr. Chu, with a "bang," chop the neck of a soft-shelled turtle.
Chu Mingcheng grinned. That was indeed fast, fierce, and accurate.
