Strange Life of a Cat

That night, Dad Jiao came back very late, and the two old people were also brought back by Dad Jiao. Compared with the radiance in the morning, the mental state of the two old people is very bad now. If the two old people were not healthy on weekdays, Zheng Tan suspected that they would have collapsed at this time.

After all, it would not be easy for anyone to have such a thing happen. Moreover, according to the second elder's knowledge, it is estimated that he knows very well what will happen to the child in the hands of traffickers.

This night, many people are destined to suffer from insomnia.

Not only did he suffer from insomnia, but several adults kept talking about things at night, and at two o'clock in the morning, there were calls one after another to ask Father Jiao about the situation.

Zheng Tan didn't sleep, and listened to their conversation outside the room, and also listened to the conversation of the two old people.

In the past, Zheng Tan didn't know much about this. All he had experienced was selling cats, but people are people after all, and cats are different.

Since the child disappeared, the child's father also put down his work, contacted some people, issued a reward announcement, and posted it widely in surrounding provinces and cities. The child's mother was going to be discharged from the hospital, but when she was stimulated, she continued to be hospitalized.

Child trafficking has been happening for a long time, and the number of such incidents across the country is increasing every year. Moreover, some criminal gangs have also begun to form groups with a clear division of labor. What's more, the information at hand is limited, and a group of people are powerless.

However, even if you don't have much clues, you still have to look for it, and all the people who should be contacted have been contacted, so there is one more channel and one more hope.

At four o'clock in the morning, another phone call.

He was afraid that it would be inconvenient if the phone ran out of battery, so Dad Jiao left both the phone and landline numbers for some people.

In the silent night, the sound of the landline's incoming call made people's heart that had just calmed down a little bit continue to hang.

Many people say that no news is good news, at least it can prove that the child is fine. This kind of statement is a bit self-deceiving, just like the current situation, everyone still hopes to have some news. Hearing the ringing of the phone, no matter the elderly or children, their ears are pricked up.

Papa Jiao answered the phone, said a few words, and his expression was very bad.

"What's the matter?" The old man came over with his coat on, his steps were a little hasty, and he almost tripped over the low stool on the ground.

"It's nothing, I'll go out for a while." Papa Jiao replied after hanging up the phone.

"You fart!" Mr. Jiao walked over regardless of the low stool he kicked, pointed at Father Jiao and said, "Although I am old, I am not stupid and I do not have dementia. Don't try to fool me!"

The old man's voice was a little loud, his emotions were too agitated, and he couldn't control it well. Jiao's mother and the old lady also came here.

Jiao's father motioned to Jiao's mother to take care of the child. Jiao's mother hesitated, sighed, and turned to leave.

"Old lady, you go to rest too!" Mr. Jiao said to the old lady.

The old man has always felt that when something goes wrong and there is pressure, a man has to resist. Even if the thing he is about to face is cruel, he has to face it, and women cannot bear it.

The old lady also knew of Mr. Jiao's temper, even if something happened, they wouldn't say it now. With red eyes and rubbing the corners of her eyes, the old lady moved her little feet and walked to the bedroom.

Zheng Tan was standing at the door of the room, no one was talking about him anyway, so he happened to be eavesdropping here.

"Tell me, why are they calling?" Mr. Jiao lost his momentum just now, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I found an abandoned baby at the bridge, let me go and have a look." Papa Jiao said.

Old Man Jiao shook his hand. Although he didn't say the whole thing, the old man understood the hidden meaning. Since the person who was investigating over there asked Papa Jiao to see it, it would definitely not be a baby girl, but in this place, boys are still very precious, and there is very little talk of "abandoned babies". However, being held at the bridge at such a time, the baby boy's chance of being alive...is not very high.

"Now...go now?" Mr. Jiao's voice trembled. Although he is not his own grandson, the relationship between relatives is not bad. Yao Hong and his wife often give gifts to the old man during the holidays. That little kid is also very popular with the old man. How could the old man not feel sorry for this kind of thing.

"I'm not sure if it's true, I just went to see it. I didn't tell Sister Hong or the others about this."

"All right, I'll go with you." The old man said without waiting for Father Jiao to object, "My old face is still useful."

After all, he is a native of the local area, and he also knows some people from the older generation. Sometimes, the words of Mr. Jiao's presence are still more useful than the words of Father Jiao.

Father Jiao and Mr. Jiao went out after four o'clock, and the rest of the family didn't feel sleepy until dawn. When Mother Jiao came back from buying breakfast, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi sat at the dining table and kept yawning. Didn't sleep well.

Zheng Tan's mood was also affected, his appetite was not very good, and it was rare that he didn't finish the breakfast, but Jiao's mother didn't say anything, just sighed.

The old lady wanted to go for a walk after breakfast, saying that the room was too stuffy.

Mother Jiao is worried, afraid that the old lady's bad mood will affect her body. After getting older, there are many problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease, so pay more attention. Now this matter makes the old lady look obviously in a bad state A lot, if you accidentally fall outside or something, it will be a big problem. But there were still two children at home, Jiao's mother had to watch, and couldn't leave.

After thinking about it, Mother Jiao finally focused her gaze on Zheng Tan who was wandering around the gate.

"Heitan, want to go out?" Mother Jiao asked.

Zheng Tan flicked his tail, jumped up and pulled the door lock, looked at the open door, walked to the door, turned around and looked at Jiao Ma, with clear intentions.

"Yo, this really opens the door!" The old lady was rarely distracted.

"Yeah, I often open the door by myself at home, and I don't know how to open it." Jiao's mother said.

The old lady thought it was just opening the door by pulling the lock from inside the house, and didn't think about opening the door with a key. Moreover, there are not many cats that can open the door, but there are indeed, and there is a cat nearby that can pull the door lock, so the old lady didn't think that Zheng Tan was too strange.

"Mom, let Heitan go out with you, and let him relax by the way. When I was in Chuhua, I often went to school, and this time I followed you out. I think I was overwhelmed." Jiao's mother said.

Listening to Jiao Mama's words, the old lady nodded, "Is this cat not running around? Do you want to lead it with a rope?"

"No, Heitan is very obedient." Mother Jiao said quickly. It really couldn't bear to put a rope on its own cat.

Zheng Tan listened to Jiao Ma and the old lady's words, pretending to be very obedient. He really wanted to go out to get some air. The atmosphere this night was too heavy, a little depressing and uncomfortable, so it was better to go out for a walk.

Seeing the old lady going out, Zheng Tan followed, walking beside the old lady, not running far, and maintaining the same speed as the old lady.

Jiao Ma stood at the door and watched for a while, until the old lady and Zheng Tan walked away, then went back to the house and closed the door.

Zheng Tan followed the old lady while paying attention to the surrounding scenery. I've been here for two days, and I haven't observed the terrain well yet. The surrounding areas are private housing estates. Walk forward for more than a hundred meters and exit the alley. The street is outside, and it is more lively there.

Although this area is not the center of the city, the surrounding area already has the meaning of building a new area. The old factories have been demolished to prepare for the construction of commercial buildings.

When the old lady walked out of the alley, she suddenly remembered that there was a cat following her, she looked to the side, and saw that the black cat of her son's house had been following closely, not going anywhere else, and met some dogs facing her. Calling also indifferent, a lot of satisfaction in my heart. No wonder the son's family spoiled the cat like that, it was really obedient.

After the old lady was ready to leave the alley, she walked along the street for a while before going back. Zheng Tan didn't care too much, anyway, following the old lady would not get lost.

As they were walking, when they passed by a canteen, the old lady went to buy some fruit candies, and planned to take them back for Jiao Yuan and the others.

"Are you taking the cat out for a walk?" The shop owner looked curiously at the black cat standing at the old lady's feet.

The old lady smiled, "Yeah, my son is raised by the family, come out for a walk with me."

The boss didn't say much, and gave the old lady the candy that he had agreed to, and collected the money for change.

Carrying the fruit candy, the old lady walked back with Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan was about to follow and leave when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

A small tricycle slowly drove over from the street and stopped beside the road. The driver got out and went to the canteen to buy cigarettes.

Passenger tricycles like this can be seen in many places in urban areas, and they are much cheaper than taxis. Many people choose to take this kind of car in order to save money.

Zheng Tan looked at the driver, he didn't wear sunglasses, and his clothes were different, but Zheng Tan just felt that this man was very similar to the motorcycle rider from yesterday, it was purely based on intuition.

"Heitan, let's go, go back." Seeing that the cat stopped and did not follow, the old lady called to the other side.

Zheng Tan looked back at the old lady, continued to stare at the tricycle driver who was walking back after buying cigarettes, and focused his gaze on the gloves that the driver was wearing. The black leather gloves were similar to those of the motorcycle rider yesterday. When the man got on the third wheel, he shrugged his shoulders, and Zheng Tan became more sure. The man on the motorcycle yesterday also shrugged his shoulders before driving. I guess this is a personal habit. Anyway, Zheng Tan never saw Wei Leng shrug his shoulders while riding a motorcycle.

Seeing that Zheng Tan ignored her, the old lady barked again, only to find that the cat ran away.

"Heitan! Come back, come back quickly!!" The old lady was in a hurry, knowing that her son's family treasured this cat. If it was lost, the two children would definitely cry when they went back.

Didn't it mean that the cat doesn't run around? What is going on now? !

It's a pity that the old lady's legs are weak, and she stopped to pant after two trot steps, and she was still carrying a bag of things in her hand.

The owner of the canteen sat in the shop, watching the black cat run away regardless of the old lady's yelling, shook his head, and whispered: "It's better to take the dog for a walk, the cat will obediently follow you for a walk."

Zheng Tan kept running forward, the small three-wheeler had already started, but due to the construction ahead, there would be some small stones on the road, the speed of the small three-wheeler was not too fast when it passed by.

When the car turned a corner, Zheng Tan jumped in through the open window.

The driver only felt the car vibrate. He looked in the rearview mirror and found nothing abnormal. He attributed the cause to the stones on the road, cursed "fucking road", and continued to drive away in the small three-wheeler.

Since there were many construction sites over there, they were surrounded by fences, which interfered with some people's sight, and the small three-wheeled wheel just turned around at that time, so no one else saw Zheng Tan jumping into the small three-wheeled wheel.

Zheng Tan was afraid that other passengers would come up on the way, even if he hid under the seat, as long as the passengers looked down, they would be able to spot him. But the good thing is that the driver didn't seem to intend to carry passengers, and drove the car all the way.

Zheng Tan looked out from the crack in the curtain. The road behind was a bit off. The surrounding seemed to have been planned. There were many old buildings with a big "demolition" painted on them, but construction had not yet started.

After waiting for the car to drive for a certain distance, Zheng Tan suddenly thought, if he identified the wrong person, how would he go back? !

We don't know the way!
