One day, Ball insisted on taking Handsome Cat to play outside the Cat Castle.
However, Handsome said, “No, we can’t go! Do you know there are various ferocious beasts outside the Cat Castle? Like tigers, lions – what if we encounter them?”
Ball said, “But we have you, right? You’re a flying cat, you can definitely handle them!”
Upon hearing this, Handsome Cat felt a bit flattered and agreed.
So, they ventured outside the Cat Castle. Indeed, there was a different scenery beyond the Cat Castle.
They played hide and seek in the flower bushes and chased each other in the woods.
After getting tired, they climbed up a tree to take a break. Suddenly, Ball pointed in a direction and said, “Look, there is the Wolf Castle!”
Handsome took a look, and it was true!
Handsome said, “It’s indeed a fortress of ferocious beasts. It looks dangerous. Remember, we cats must not go in!”
Before he could finish speaking, Ball pointed in another direction and said, “There’s a big bad wolf over there!”
Handsome Cat took another look, and indeed, a wolf was heading towards the Wolf Castle, carrying a lamb in its mouth.
Ball anxiously said, “Quick, save the little lamb! It’s calling for help!”
Handsome Cat closed his eyes and said, “It’s too late! Look, the wolf has already entered the Wolf Castle.”
At that moment, another sheep, crying and running, approached. She seemed about to enter the Wolf Castle. Handsome Cat swiftly flew over like an arrow, grabbing her and saying, “Do you have a death wish? The Wolf Castle is right ahead.”
The sheep replied, “My child was captured by the wolf and taken into the Wolf Castle. I must go and save him!”
Handsome said, “Just relying on yourself? You’ll only end up becoming wolf food!”
Turning to Ball, he said, “I’m going to save the lamb now. Keep an eye on Auntie Sheep, don’t let her run into the Wolf Castle.”
With that, Handsome Cat soared into the sky and flew into the Wolf Castle.
Handsome Cat quickly caught up with the wolf.
Upon returning home, the big bad wolf tied the lamb to the rooftop and went downstairs to start a fire, intending to roast the lamb.
Handsome Cat quickly flew to the rooftop, swiftly untied the lamb, and pulled him, attempting to fly into the sky.
However, the lamb was too heavy for Handsome Cat. Instead of lifting him, the cat was pulled down, and both of them fell heavily to the ground.
Hearing the noise, the wolf rushed over.
Seeing the wolf about to catch them, Handsome quickly opened something resembling a balloon.
He pushed the little lamb into the balloon and jumped on it himself.
The balloon floated into the air, and the wolf missed its grasp, infuriated and fuming.
Chasing after the balloon in the sky, the wolf shouted loudly, calling for other wolves to help.
The wolves from the Wolf Castle quickly gathered around.
One wolf said, “It’s time to show off my skills as an archer!”
Saying this, he drew his bow and aimed at the balloon. Indeed, an arrow hit the balloon, causing it to sway and fall towards the ground.
Luckily, Handsome Cat opened a parachute just in time.
Handsome and the little lamb descended to the ground again with the parachute.
Just as they were about to run, it was too late – a pack of wolves surrounded them.
At this moment, Handsome Cat opened something resembling a turtle shell, protecting them inside.
The pack of wolves outside hammered and struck, but this shell seemed as unyielding as a rock, not budging an inch.
One wolf said, “Let’s take turns guarding here. I bet they won’t last long inside!”
Handsome smiled and said, “You can guard, and we can shed our ‘skin’ like a cicada.”
He took out a mechanical mouse that looked like a real one and placed it on the ground. This mechanical mouse started digging holes with efficiency multiplied a hundredfold.
Handsome Cat, with the little lamb in tow, entered the hole created by the mechanical mouse.
The tunnel was quite spacious, and with little effort, they soon saw a beam of light.
They quickly emerged from the other end of the tunnel.
Upon emerging, they found themselves outside the Wolf Castle.
Ball and the sheep mother were standing with their backs turned, anxiously gazing towards the direction of the Wolf Castle.
Handsome Cat shouted, “We’re over here!”
The lamb also called out loudly to his mother.
Ball and the sheep mother turned around, spotted them, and joyfully ran towards them.
The sheep mother embraced her lamb, expressing gratitude repeatedly to Handsome Cat and Ball.
Ball said, “Big Handsome, you’re truly the most handsome!”
Handsome Cat tossed his hair and casually replied, “Of course!”
He then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “It was worth my journey through heaven and earth. Finally, we were able to rescue the lamb. But since we’re very close to the Wolf Castle, we should leave quickly!”
They watched as the sheep mother walked away with her lamb before hurrying back to the Cat Castle.
That evening, during dinner, Ball enjoyed her meal with particular relish.
