Strange Life of a Cat

Zheng Tan felt that his luck was really bad today, and nothing good would happen if he went out.

Ignoring the shouting, Zheng Tan prepared to continue running forward, hoping not to...

"Wow——"

really.

As soon as Zheng Tan stopped, he knew without turning around that the little kid was lying on the ground and starting to cry again.

This trick has been used many times, but Zheng Tan really can't resist it. He always feels a little guilty when he hears crying. After all, this little kid still calls himself "Brother Black".

After standing there for a few seconds, Zheng Tan let out a long sigh, turned around and looked over there. His eyes swept over the crying child lying on the ground, and then fell on a thirty-year-old woman standing next to the child. It was obvious that this woman was the nanny. It was obvious that this woman was closer, but she didn't have the slightest bit of trouble. It was really weird for the nanny to do this to help the child who was lying on the floor.

Seeing Zheng Tan looking over, the woman smiled and did not move.

What a joke!

Zheng Tan tugged on his ears, and used his claws to break off several dead grasses in the large withered grass beneath him. Then he swung his tail twice and walked to the crying child lying on the ground.

All in all, Zhuo Mao Mao, this poor kid, is almost one year old. Time flies so fast. Zheng Tan has met Zhuo Mao Mao several times this month.

Xiao Zhuo was not here, and the woman next to him was carrying Zhuo's kitten. I heard that it was the Buddha who found her. Fo Ye is busy with official duties and cannot take care of Zhuo Xiaomao often, so the task of raising children is taken over by the woman next to her. Buddha called her "Xiaowan". Zhuo Maomao calls her "aunt".

In local culture, the word "aunt" refers to the father's sister. As for Zhuo Xia Mao's father, Zheng Tan knows very well that the biological father is not here and may never appear in the future. The fathers listed on some registration forms, certificates and files have become martyrs. Because of Xiao Zhuo's participation in the project, Zhuo Xia Mao enjoys a special protection policy. The name on the father's column is just the result of this protection policy, which allows Zhuo Mao to avoid those around him who wear colored glasses.

Zheng Tan is not sure whether this nanny "Xiao Wan" was hired by Lord Buddha or sent from above. At least so far, Zhuo Mao Mao is growing up quite well.

When Zhuo Mao Mao was not born, many people doubted whether he would have deformities or congenital diseases. After Zhuo Mao Mao was born, some people also doubted the child's IQ. But now, Zheng Tan is quite sure that this child's IQ is not low at all. It's not even a year old yet, and its ability to read people's dishes is getting better and better. If such a child is called mentally retarded, what are other people called? Labrador?

Even knowing that this little bastard was pretending to cry, Zheng Tan still walked up to him. Sure enough, the crying stopped the next second.

Call him fake crying, this child can really cry tears, but as soon as Zheng Tan came over, this poor child stopped crying immediately, and he seemed to be in a good mood. It seems that it is particularly easy for children to use this trick.

Zhuo Maomao especially likes to use this trick, and it works every time. Zheng Tan is so angry that he grits his teeth every time.

"Brother Hei!" Zhuo Mao Mao, who was lying on the ground, called out again.

Zheng Tan shook his ears and raised his hand to push Zhuoxia Mao's head.

Without Zheng Tan having to do anything, Zhuo Mao Mao got up on his own and stood holding on to the wooden railing next to him.

Xiao Wan, who was standing aside, looked at this scene with a smile. She was used to it, it happened every time. At first, she was wary of the black cat, fearing that it would stretch out its claws to scratch people. However, when she called Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo said not to worry. After trying several times, she found that the cat did not cause any harm to the child. , and no longer guarded against it.

Xiao Wan still remembers that when Zhuo Mao first started walking, he liked to walk a few steps on the wooden railing next to him every day. But when he saw the black cat, he would lie on the ground and cry. It would be useless for her to help him unless the black cat came over. Later, one time she didn't go to help him immediately and waited to see how things would develop. The children wear thick clothes, and the key parts that are easily injured are protected, so there is no need to worry about falling, and the surrounding area is only grass, so it will not hurt if they fall on the ground. Later, when she saw Zhuo Maomao deliberately lying on the ground and pretending to cry, she didn't care.

Xiao Wan wanted to laugh every time she heard Zhuo Maomao call the black cat "Brother Black". Afterwards, she learned some things from Xiao Zhuo and became more relaxed towards the black cat. Sometimes she would look at the black cat. He waved his two forelimbs and slapped Zhuo Xiaomao on the head, which made Xiaowan laugh. Because the black cat looked like it was swinging its claws very hard, but in fact it fell very lightly, almost just touching it slightly, and it always kept its claws well.

Seeing Zhuo Maomao getting up, Zheng Tan didn't want to stay here and waste time with this little kid, so it would be more comfortable to find a quiet place to sleep.

After walking about ten meters and approaching the corner, Zheng Tan saw someone coming from that way, and his mood suddenly became worse.

"Black Coal, why are you here? Oh, don't you eat this? The multigrain cake I just bought!" Er Mao symbolically handed the half-eaten multigrain cake to Zheng Tan, and then collected it. Come back and continue gnawing.

After helping Professor Lan move the flowerpots in the small garden just now, Ermao felt hungry and ran to some stalls at the school gate to buy something to eat. He also held a bowl of packaged tofu in his hand to prepare. When he went back to the small flower garden to give it to Professor Lan later, he didn't expect to encounter this black cat while walking down the path.

Zheng Tan stopped when he saw Er Mao, and while Zheng Tan stopped, the little kid Zhuo behind him also walked over holding on to the fence, stepping on his small steps and shouting: "Hei—" -elder brother--"

Er Mao heard the child's voice and looked around. The students were all in class at this time, and not many people were walking around, let alone this small road. There were only a few of them around at the moment. After looking around Ermao, he couldn't find anyone else. Who was the child calling?

When Zhuo Mao Mao meowed again, Er Mao almost spit out the grain cake in his mouth. He had already followed the child's line of sight to find the target corresponding to the name.

Black brother?

Just this cat?

This is the first time I saw a child calling a cat "Brother".

Er Mao stood up and walked towards Zhuo Mao Mao. When he approached, Xiao Wan stepped forward to block him. Although he was smiling, Xiao Wan had obvious vigilance in his eyes.

Raising his hand, Ermao said that he understood. He stopped a step away, took out his pocket and took out a lollipop, the kind that looked like a cartoon baby face.

"Hey, kid, brother has something good, do you want it?" Ermao waved the lollipop in his hand.

Zheng Tan despised him. As for "Brother", this generation should be called "Uncle".

Zhuo Maomao pushed Xiao Wan, took small steps and squeezed forward, reaching out to take it.

Er Mao retracted his hand to keep the lollipop farther away, then pointed at Zheng Tan who was squatting next to him, and said to Zhuo Mao Mao: "If you tell him that Hei Tan is a fool, my brother will give this to you... call him a fool." Okay, just call it stupid."

Zhuo Mao Mao took a small step forward and continued to reach out, trying to take the lollipop in Er Mao's hand.

After Er Mao said it several times, he found that it had no effect at all, and the child ignored it at all. Forget it, such a big kid can't speak smoothly, so what do you know?

Not ready to continue talking nonsense to the kid, Ermao handed the lollipop to Zhuo Mao Mao and was about to say a few words.

Just then——

A line of water traced an arc and shot toward Er Mao's shoes.

Although Er Mao reacted quickly and jumped away, some urine was still sprayed on his shoes.

Damn it! Are you still attacking in the east and in the west? !

Was this planned for a long time? How else could he pee so much and still pee so far? !

Er Mao looked at the urine stains on his shoes and his face was unusually twisted.

Xiao Wan suppressed his laughter and continued to block Zhuo Mao Mao. Although Er Mao did not show any malice, it was always good to be cautious. After all, they were strangers, and Xiao Wan felt that the man in front of him looked like he was in his twenties and was going to school. Young people who look like students are not necessarily easy to deal with.

Little brat Zhuo was not afraid at all, nor did he feel that he had done anything wrong. He held the lollipop in his hand and laughed "ka ka ka ka" until his saliva dripped from his mouth.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Tan's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny.

Well done, Zhuo Mao!

Er Mao shook the urine off his shoes, wiped his sneakers with the paper wrapped in grain cakes, and looked at the small child in front of him with confusion. Does this little bastard really understand what he just said? This bastard kid and that black cat are actually brothers, right? ! Revenge, absolutely retaliation for encouraging the child to scold the cat just now!

This was not over yet. Zhuo Mao Mao left the wooden railing next to him and walked to Zheng Tan with unsteady steps. The lawn was uneven and Zhuo Mao Mao almost fell to the ground.

Putting the lollipop in front of Zheng Tan, Zhuo Maomao looked at Zheng Tan.

Ermao: "..." Damn it, these two guys must be brothers!

Zheng Tan was very moved. This little kid obviously wanted to eat to death and drooled much faster, but he still put things in front of him.

What a good boy.

Zheng Tan raised his paw, pushed the lollipop to Zhuo Mao Mao's hand, and patted Zhuo Mao Mao's head. The child is still young now. If he grows up, Zheng Tan won't be able to take pictures of him.

Zhuo Mao Mao helped to make Er Mao angry, and Zheng Tan was very happy. He was happy for several days in a row. As long as he thought of Zhuo Mao Mao pissing Er Mao, he couldn't help but feel happy.

However, Zheng Tan's good mood only lasted for a week.

A week later, Zheng Tan went out to bask in the sun and get some fresh air. When he went downstairs, he noticed that there was a lot of movement on the third floor.

The door of Old Lan's house was open, and the door of the often unoccupied house opposite Old Lan was also open, and Old Lan's voice could be heard from inside.

"Put it there, yes, just put it there. You can live in the master bedroom. I'll create a study for you, and the second bedroom can be used to store their original things..."

Zheng Tan sounded very curious. After living here for so long, he had seen this family only in single digits.

When he came to the door, Zheng Tan peeked in and saw Mrs. Zhai wiping the table with a rag.

Seeing Zheng Tan, Mrs. Zhai smiled and said, "Hey, Heitan is here too. Come in and walk around the house. I just saw a mouse."

Zheng Tan: "..." Forget it, it's better not to go in.

Just as he was about to leave, a man walked out of the room over there.

Zheng Tan looked up and said, Damn it, why is this girl here? !

Er Mao was wearing blue overalls. He came out to say hello after hearing what the old lady outside said. Waving to the black cat at the door, Ermao looked proud.

"Hello, neighbor."
