章節 17: I'm going to raise a cat

The reform of the manor continued, but when Marin entered the barn, he was angered.

Why? It turned out that there was a bunch of mice in the barn. Angry Marin, commanding everyone to chase mice, but how flexible is the mouse? One wave of young people sent by Marin, only one person hit a mouse. The rest of the mice, all escaped.

When he was having dinner, Marlin was angry:

"Why are there so many mice? Is there no cat at home?"

"Cat?" The whole family looked at Marin like a fool.

Marin also realized that he was wrong, he cautiously asked everyone:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

"Marin, don't you know that cats are evil incarnations?"

"Cat evil? Is there such a saying?"

"Well, my brother, I heard that the evil black cats are all bad wizards. They are the incarnation of ominousness and disaster!" sister Annie said seriously.

"Oh, sell the cake! How do you have such an idea?" Marin thought of it at this time, and the medieval seemingly has the saying that "the cat is an evil incarnation." Looks like, because the cat called the mate in the middle of the night, the voice is too loud, making people feel scared.

"The bishop said!" When it comes to this, the most intelligent Mrs. Mary is somewhat unconfident. Because the bishop said that he could not take a bath, this has been overthrown in Hoffman Estate.

"It's all nonsense, the cat is the natural enemy of the mouse. With the cat, we are not afraid of the mouse stealing food. I looked down, because there is no cat, the mouse is too daring now, stealing too much food. The only mouse that was killed was because it was too fat, and it could not run!"

"Hey - haha ​​-" The younger siblings were amused.

"Don't laugh, these abominable mice are eating bread you eat, do you understand?"

"Oh..." The younger brothers and sisters seemed to understand, but they were suppressed by Marin's powerful anger and had to pretend to understand.

"So, Marin, what are you going to do?" asked Old Hoffman.

"I want to raise a cat!"'

"Oh... but my brother, there are no cats around us. Since the church people said that cats are evil creatures, there are basically no cats here. Where do you catch kittens?"

"Nobody raises a cat?" Marlin was a bit dumbfounded. In his opinion, there should be a lot of people who have cats. Just go find someone who has a female cat and a cat.

"Yes, under the publicity of the church, everyone gave up raising cats. Of course, it also caused the flood of mice."

"No wonder the black death was raging..." Marin exclaimed.

"Hey? Marin, what do you mean by this? The black death and the cat have a relationship?" Everyone was taken aback.

"This is the case. It was introduced in the medical books of the East. The Black Death is also called plague. It originated in the East. This disease is mainly transmitted by mice, so it is called plague. It is said that the Black Death originated from Asia. The Venetian merchant ship was brought from Asia. And, mainly through the rats on the Venetian merchant ship."

"Son, is this the case?"

"Yes, Europeans don't raise cats, so they cause mice to flood. And the Black Death is spread by mice. Now there are so many mice in Europe, of course, the spread is fast, and there are more dead people!"

"It turns out that, then, let's go to raise a cat!" Simon, Albert and Anne were scared to say.

"But where are we going to catch the kittens?" Marlin also had some helplessness.

"I know where there are cats!" Mrs. Mary thought about it.

"Where?" Marin is also a spirit.

"My hometown, East Frisian!"

"East Frisian?"

"Yes, the Frisians are mostly fishermen. They are good at driving a boat to go fishing. Therefore, the Frisians living by the sea have a lot of fish in their families. Walking in the fishing village by the Friesland seaside, you can see that every outdoor has dried a lot of salted fish."

"That..."

"Friesland people don't have cats, but cats like to eat fish. So, outside the Frisian fishing village, there are always a lot of stray cats. They sometimes steal fish and fish that are hung outside. There's a time when they go to eat the internal organs of the fish that the Frisians killed after killing the fish..."

"Hey - the kitten is so poor -" Annie couldn't bear.

"That is, there are a lot of stray cats outside the fishing village of Friesland?"

"Yes, a lot, still a lot."

"That's good, Adler, we took a few followers to the frisian seaside to catch a few kittens!"

"Catch cats?"

"Correct!"

The next day, Marin and Adler mounted on the horses, accompanying them, and two attendant of Adler on the horse. Kahn and Kohler wanted to follow. However, they only ride cows and are not skilled in horse riding. Therefore, Marin let the attendant of Adler who are good riders follow.

Bochum is not far from East Frisian, only four hundred miles. And Marin, a few people, did not wear bulky armor, are lightly loaded, only with a sword, but also a double horse. So, on the third day, they arrived at the beach.

After arriving at the beach, Marin really found a lot of stray cats in the grass near the seaside fishing village. However, these stray cats are very cautious, and when they see people coming in, they hide in the thick grass and find it hard to find. Moreover, they are very agile and flexible.

However, this is hard to beat Marin. Once upon a time, Marin used the method of catching sparrows on the papers (supporting the basket with bamboo poles, sprinkling the rice below), and slightly changing it to catch the cat. The specific method is to buy a few big fish from the seaside fishing village, and then buy a few wooden baskets. Then, Marin grabbed the wooden stick with a rope and supported the wooden basket. Below the wooden basket, it was a sea fish that smelled. The stray cats in the grass have poor living conditions, and many cats are often hungry. So, many cats couldn't help but tempted and ran under the wooden frame to eat fish...

Under the order of Marin, several baskets were pulled down. Then, a cat was caught. By this way, Marlin captured more than a dozen cats. But these cats are mostly kittens, those adult cats, most of them are very cautious and savvy, not easy to be fooled.What Marin wants is the kitten. Because the kitten can stay. And those old cats are easy to escape.

Among the dozens of cats, Marin removed adult cats and several black cats. Because, in Europe, black cats are considered to be a symbol of ominousness. Although Marin wants to raise a cat, he does not intend to raise a black cat that makes people fear.Finally, Marin picked five beautiful-looking kittens and planned to take them away. However, considering that cats love to eat fish. Moreover, Hoffman Estate is close to the Ruhr River and can be considered for fishing. So, Marin was in the fishing village and recruited several bankrupt fishermen.

It's ridiculous to say that Hoffman's Manor, while on the Ruhr River, should be eating fish. But in fact, because Europeans regard bathing as a taboo, people are reluctant to enter the water. Therefore, in addition to the fact that fishermen in coastal areas have to fish in order to survive, there are few fishermen in the inland areas, and only a few people are fishing in their leisure time. This is because, in the inland areas, if there is no field, you can choose to hunt or choose to work. Therefore, there are few inland Europeans who fish on the rivers. This also leads to a lot of freshwater fish in the inland river.

Therefore, Marin intends to bring these fishermen to settle down on the Ruhr River in Hoffman Estate. They were then authorized to fish on the river near the Hoffman Estate (in medieval Europe, hunting and fishing were authorized by the nobility and most of the catch was handed over to the nobility). In this way, people in the manor can eat fish from time to time.
