In a small village, there lived an old farmer named Li Laohan. Li Laohan is alone, farming for a living, and although his life is poor, he can get by.
One day, when Li Laohan was working in the fields, he found an injured white cat. It was injured in the leg and was unable to walk. Li Laohan felt pity and took the white cat back home, and used his limited savings to invite a veterinarian to take care of it. After a period of careful care, the white cat's injuries gradually healed.
However, the white cat did not leave Li Laohan's home, but chose to stay with him. Every day, the white cat will follow Li Laohan to relieve his loneliness. Li Laohan also likes this white cat very much, and often plays and chats with it.
As the days passed, Li Laohan's health became worse and worse. He fell ill and could no longer work in the fields, and his life became very difficult. The white cat seemed to sense Li Laohan's predicament, and it began to go out early and return late every day, not knowing what it was busy with.
One day, the white cat suddenly took a hare back and put it in front of Li Laohan's bed. Li Laohan was very surprised, he didn't know how the white cat caught the hare. Since then, the white cat has brought back some food every day, sometimes pheasants, sometimes fish, and it has helped Li Laohan through the difficulties in his own way.
However, Li Laohan's condition did not improve. Eventually, he passed away. On the day of his death, the white cat stayed by his side, licking his hand incessantly, as if to see him off.
The villagers learned about Li Laohan, and they were touched by the loyalty and gratitude of the white cat. Together, they held a simple and solemn funeral for Li Laohan and left the white cat in the village to provide it with food and shelter.
The white cat still patrols the village every day, and sometimes goes to see Li Laohan's grave. It became the patron saint of this small village and was loved and revered by the villagers.
Many years later, the white cat also came to the end of its life. The villagers held a grand funeral for it to show their gratitude to it. They buried the white cat next to Li Laohan's grave, so that it would always accompany the old man who had saved it.
The story spread throughout the region and became a mouthful of teasers. People learn a truth from this story: kindness is a selfless act that not only helps others, but also infects those around you. And animals also have feelings, and as long as people treat them well, they will also reciprocate the kindness of humans in their own way.
