Strange Life of a Cat

The next day, when Zheng Tan went to Jiao Wei's small restaurant for lunch, he saw Ah Jin standing under a tree at the door.

Yesterday, Ah Jin lost his mobile phone and wallet and did not contact his acquaintances immediately. Later, Zheng Tan took him directly to his store in Jiaowei.

Jiao Wei's enthusiastic attitude made Ah Jin very embarrassed. He wanted to write a note or something about the debt, but Jiao Wei's mother said: "Hei Tan brought it here, why should I charge him? This meal is considered an invitation from my aunt." !”

Now there are some things that Jiao Wei is somewhat aware of. He also found out something from Jiao Wei, and his attitude towards Zheng Tan is completely different from the cats in his hometown village. After doing business for these years, I have some discernment. Ah Jin doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. Besides, a meal for one person only costs ten yuan, so there is no need to worry so much, it's just a good thing.

After having dinner in the shop last night, Ah Jin carried his guitar and headed to the central square. In fact, if Zheng Tan hadn't brought him here, he would have gone to the square to sing first and wait until he had some money in the evening. Fill your stomach again.

Today at noon, Jiao Wei's mother had just finished washing the vegetables and was sitting at the door to rest. As soon as the time for school came, there were more and more people, and she had to be busy until one o'clock, so she took a break and took a rest. I didn't expect to see Ah gold.

Ah Jin came over to eat. This time he paid for it himself. He also used the money he earned last night to buy some fruit as a thank you gift. After using the money, he didn’t have much left on hand, so he kept the bus fare and planned to use it if he really wanted to. If it's difficult, just take a taxi back and get some money before you come out. He had to be thankful that he didn't bring his ID card, bank card, etc. when he came out. He only had the two thousand yuan in his wallet that he took out when he went out. If money is lost, it is lost, but if the card and certificate are lost, it will be more troublesome.

When Ah Jin came over at noon, he met Er Mao who came to the store to get food. He had met Er Mao twice and knew that this man was very familiar with Wei Leng.

Er Mao often runs to the night building with Qin Tao and the others. Wei Leng also told him about Ah Jin and his band. He also went to listen to a few performances and knew Ah Jin. Even if he was not sure, he looked at Ah Jin's neck. The cat necklace hanging on it will match the number.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, Ermao doesn't sleep in. He comes here to pick up dinner at this time every day, and goes to the supermarket to buy two thermos boxes. He handed over the empty thermos box he was carrying, took the thermos box filled with food from Jiao Wei's mother, put it aside, and didn't rush to leave. He sat down and chatted with Ah Jin for a while.

Hearing that A Jin had lost his wallet and cell phone, Er Mao expressed his thoughts. There are indeed many thieves on the road now, especially around schools and commercial streets. Situations like A Jin's are not uncommon.

"How about I lend you some?" Er Mao said casually.

Ah Jin carefully refused. The last time he saw Er Mao, he was with a few dandies. He was probably a dandy himself. This type of person may cause resentment if his words are inappropriate.

"Oh." He didn't care when he was rejected by Ermao. "I just said that I didn't take any money with me when I went out."

Ajin: "..."

"But..." Er Mao stretched out, "If you are familiar with that cat, you will not starve to death if you hug the cat's thigh tightly."

After saying that, Ermao stood up, picked up his lunch box, and left. He didn't meet Zheng Tan and the others who came later.

Although Er Mao's last words sounded like a joke and seemed unbelievable to others, Ah Jin knew that it was the truth. Now seeing the attitude of the boss and the landlady towards Zheng Tan in the small restaurant, Ah Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person is not as good as a cat, look at how much face he has!

Yesterday, Zheng Tan left Ah Jin alone in the store and went to pick up Xiaoyouzi. He didn't expect to see Ah Jin when he came over at noon today.

Ah Jin said hello to Zheng Tan and left the shop without disturbing Zheng Tan and others while they were having lunch. He was going to visit Chuhua University. He had never been to university, so it was a rare visit to this prestigious school.

When Zheng Tan went out for a walk in the afternoon, he met Ah Jin who was wandering around the school. Ah Jin also suggested that Zheng Tan lead the way around the campus, but Zheng Tan decided to try the blind old man on the overpass today. He ignored Ajin's words.

Seeing no reaction from Zheng Tan, Ah Jin thought the cat couldn't understand what he said, but when he saw Zheng Tan walking out, he thought about it and followed him. So, one person and one cat came to the overpass again.

After getting on the overpass, what surprised Ah Jin was that not far from the blind old man, lying next to the railing, were his wallet and mobile phone that he had lost yesterday!

I asked a man selling mangoes in a basket and learned that the mobile phone and wallet were both placed by the blind old man when he came over this morning.

Ah Jin opened his wallet and looked at it. Not a penny was missing. The phone was turned off and all functions were intact after being turned on, but the address book was not cleared.

Not only Ah Jin, but Zheng Tan was also shocked now. Is this old man really a big shot? He also learned something about it from the chat between Wei Leng and Ye Hao. It was impossible to find the lost things so easily without any tricks or tricks.

But what makes Zheng Tan confused is, don’t they all say that good people have good tempers? Why isn't this old man? I even pulled out his beard yesterday, but I didn't see any reaction from the old man, and no one bothered me after that.

When Zheng Tan and Ah Jin came over, the old man was playing the erhu.

The music is different from yesterday's. When Ah Jin heard it, it didn't have that sense of sadness nor was it different from the music style yesterday afternoon. Instead, it made people feel calm and strange. The weather and environment during this time period should obviously make people feel tired or irritable. Of course, it's a different matter for Zheng Tan who doesn't know how to appreciate. He should be in any mood.

Without interrupting the old man, Ah Jin planned to wait for the old man to finish playing the music before thanking him, so he walked aside and leaned against the railing to listen intently to the old man playing the erhu. Ah Jin admires this blind old man. Although Ah Jin thinks he has developed some skills, it is obviously not enough. If he were to play and sing here by himself, he would inevitably be affected by the harsh beeps coming from the overpass. An impatient driver will honk the horn frequently or for a long time. For those who don’t have that mentality, the horn will choke the rest after they sing the first line.

To put it simply, it is just a matter of mentality, but it is not easy to be like a blind old man. How difficult it is to maintain one's original intention and remain calm.

Of course, even if he could withstand the noisy trumpets under the overpass, Ah Jin would not play guitar here. Although he didn't quite understand why the vendors around him treated this old man so specially, he would not steal business here. This time With the old man returning his wallet and mobile phone, Ah Jin won't come here to play.

Zheng Tan didn't know how to appreciate music, so he walked up to the old man and looked up at the old man's expression.

He was still the same as yesterday, with his eyes closed and no emotion on his face, so the long beard swaying in the breeze was relatively conspicuous.

However, after all he had some scruples, Zheng Tan decided to wait and see and not pull out his beard for the time being. He came to squat next to the wooden box that had already contained some coins and change, and started counting the old man's money again today. How many.

As he lowered his head and counted the money, a shadow suddenly enveloped him. Zheng Tan looked up at the person standing in front of him. To be precise, the person was standing in front of the old man. His expression was slightly exaggerated and arrogant. He was followed by a young man wearing revealing clothes and an eye-catching figure. The eyes of some people around the woman fell on the woman's high chest and long white legs.

"Good job." The man said, then took out his wallet and took out a brand new hundred-yuan note and threw it away.

Zheng Tan looked at the money that fell on the ground. The place where it landed was less than half a meter away from the wooden box, but about forty centimeters, right? Looking up at the person in front of him again, this person seemed to have no intention of picking up the money and putting it into the wooden box. Instead, he was waiting expectantly, probably to see who would come to pick up the money at this time.

This kind of behavior is insulting. Some of the people around me who saw this scene wanted to watch the show, while others couldn't stand it on the surface, but they didn't take any actual actions. They couldn't offend such a master who was obviously not short of money. .

Ah Jin looked at it and thought about whether to come forward. Anyway, he had encountered such embarrassing things when he was a wandering singer, and he had some immunity. However, when Ajingang stepped out, he saw the black cat squatting next to the wooden box. He walked over and pushed back the brand-new hundred-yuan note that was about to be blown away by the wind. Then he clamped it with his two front paws and put it into the wooden box. After that, he reached out his paws to poke around in the wooden box, and pressed the coins on top of the banknotes to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

During this whole process, in addition to paying attention to the development of the things in front of him, Ah Jin also felt that there were subtle changes in the music played by the blind old man, from calm to chilling to comfort. However, when he listened to it again, Ah Jin felt like It feels the same as before. Is there such a change in the same song? Akin doubted it. I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

From the time the man in front of him threw money to now, the old man didn't stop playing the erhu, as if he didn't know all this.

The visitor didn't expect such a scene, so he took out another one hundred card from his wallet and threw it on the ground. Zheng Tan continued to repeat the previous actions.

After putting the money into the wooden box, Zheng Tan looked at the person in front of him. If you dare to throw it away, you dare to pick it up. Anyway, we are just a cat now, and we are not afraid of embarrassment. Moreover, the old man's harvest today was not good. Although he had not finished counting the money, Zheng Tan roughly estimated that there were about eighty yuan. The man in front of him could throw it away and get a hundred yuan. If he did not pick it up, he would not pick it up.

Zheng Tan had seen a lot of people like this who were stupid, rich, poor in character, weak in IQ, and Zheng Tan had done this kind of cheating thing in the past. Now that he thinks about it, he can't bear to look back on the past.

After the visitor threw five hundred-yuan bills in a row, the woman next to him finally couldn't help it anymore, tugged at him, and said a few words in his ear. Then the man put the wallet into his pocket with an unhappy look on his face and left in a hurry. .

"laugh--"

I don’t know who started laughing, and several vendors around me started laughing.

"Hey, it would be nice to have a cat."

Zheng Tan ignored the discussions of the people around him and looked back at the old man, still not noticing any change in his expression.

When the time was almost up, Zheng Tan left the overpass, and Ah Jin followed. He had his wallet today and bought the chicken tenders that he failed to buy yesterday. Moreover, he planned to go shopping at Chuhua University in the next two days. Today he is inside While wandering around, Ah Jin found some inspiration, but he didn't want to waste it.

Shortly after Zheng Tan left, the old man stopped what he was doing, then sat quietly with his erhu in his arms, waiting for the sunset to leave.

"Hey, this old man seems to have taken a long time to poop this afternoon." The mango seller said in a low voice to the toy seller next to him.

"...I must be in a good mood. I made more than five hundred yuan in one afternoon." The toy vendor said with envy.

No one can tell exactly how the old man feels.
