Strange Life of a Cat

Wei Leng's wedding is scheduled for the second day of the National Day holiday. Jiao's mother has no plans to take the children on a long trip during the National Day holiday this year. There will be too many people during the National Day holiday. If she goes on a trip, she can take care of them by herself. Not to mention two children and a restless cat.

Wei Leng said before that he wanted to send a car to pick her up, but Jiao's mother refused. Today Wei Leng is the protagonist. He must have been very busy all morning. He also has to go to snatch the bride. There are many places for people to use cars. Besides, the Jiao family already has Mother Jiao also knows the car and the place of the wedding banquet. It's just the Shaoguang Hotel. They are all familiar with it, so it won't be that troublesome.

Ermao checked the cat food early in the morning and disappeared long ago. Today he has to help Wei Ling. I came back very late from work yesterday. If there wasn't a cat at home, I probably would have just slept outside.

After going downstairs, Jiao's mother stopped when she drove to the door of the compound. Zheng Tan looked out and saw two people standing at the door of the compound. Zheng Tan looked familiar and moved his eyes downwards. When he saw the cage in the hands of the little girl, who was not much bigger than Xiaoyouzi, he suddenly realized that it was this family.

There is a guinea pig in the cage. Zheng Tan has seen it before. He still remembers Wei Leng calling this guy "chestnut". When he walked out by himself two years ago, the little guinea pig was almost eaten by the police chief and Ah Huang. Zheng Tan Tan also saw Wei Leng at that time. This mother and daughter are the wife and children of Wei Ling's comrade, who unfortunately died while on a mission. Wei Ling and other comrades have been helping out. Wei Leng often comes to see the mother and daughter. This time Wei Ling is getting married. Mother and daughter must definitely go there.

Jiao's mother asked the two people to get in the car. They had already contacted each other last night. Anyway, she would help Wei Leng take these two people there. Father Jiao was not here, so if there were two more people, the car could still fit inside.

Zheng Tan and Little Youzi stayed in the back seat. When the mother and daughter came in, they were a little surprised to see the cat, but the little girl was more defensive. After all, many cats are not very friendly to guinea pigs.

Seeing Zheng Tan sitting quietly next to Xiaoyouzi, the mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, my Heitan is very sensible and won't bully other small animals." Mother Jiao said.

"That's right, Heitan never bullies the weak, unless it's a bad rat who steals things." Jiao Yuan turned his head and looked behind, staring at the fur ball in the cage.

But the mother smiled but said nothing, but she didn't think so in her heart. Fortunately, her guinea pigs are in cages and cats can't get in.

Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, mainly focused on "Lizi". On the way to the hotel, Jiao Yuan was more talkative and took the initiative to ask about the guinea pig.

"I should have left 'Lizi' at home, but the child was reluctant to let it go and said he would take this opportunity to take 'Lizi' out to play." The mother said.

"That's right, so does this one in my family. I have to take it with me wherever I go. But this one in my family is very sensible and never runs around." Mother Jiao said with a smile. In front of outsiders, they must have picked it up, and Jiao Ma didn't reveal Zheng Tan's background.

However, Jiao Yuan and Xiao Youzi sounded a little guilty. They knew very well what happened to their own black charcoal. As long as the weather was good, they would run outside most of the time during the day.

Zheng Tan didn't blush when he heard Mama Jiao's somewhat distorted praise. Even if he blushed, he couldn't tell. He lay down on Little Yuzi's lap in a serious manner. However, the guinea pig sitting next door became restless and barked at Zheng Tan a few times. I wonder if he recognized it.

Zheng Tan glanced at it and ignored it. This guy is a bit bigger than when I first saw him. He looks about 20 centimeters longer. His appearance is indeed more lovable and harmless in appearance. No wonder the children like it.

"'Chestnut' doesn't seem to be afraid of black coal." said the girl holding the cage. After all, after raising "Lizi" for so long, I can definitely get the general meaning from "Lizi"'s calls and some behaviors.

"I guess I know this cat means no harm. Animals have a very good sixth sense." The mother smiled.

It still takes some time to get from Chuhua University to the hotel. Yuan Zhiyi called me on the way. It was inconvenient for Jiao's mother to drive, so it was Jiao Yuan who picked up the phone. Yuan Zhiyi said he would leave later, as the Jiao family was too crowded. If there are more, he will help carry some. Since it is not needed, he is not in a hurry. Some people in the company who were familiar with Wei Leng, such as several comrades introduced by Wei Leng, ran out before dawn.

Today, Wei Leng looks like a human and a dog, quite serious.

During the wedding ceremony, everyone's attention was focused on the newlyweds. Zheng Tan couldn't see anything while squatting on the stool. His back was against the wall, so he didn't have to worry about anyone behind him. Both sides were well covered by Xiao Youzi and Jiao Yuan. Yes, if he wanted to look out, Zheng Tan could only reveal half of his cat's head from under the table, and he had to hold his ears down to avoid being discovered by others.

Although no one at this table would care, there was no guarantee that people at other tables would have no objections, so Wei Leng had to save some face. As for the "chestnuts", they had been hidden in a special bag for a long time, which was worse than Zheng Tan.

There were all acquaintances at the table. Yuan Zhiyi made a special trip to come here today. One was because of Wei Leng's wedding, and the other was just to chat with the Jiao family and see the "Lucky Cat". Usually the big boss was very busy, so Not much time, this time I finally had time to get more "wealthy". This was a live version, not the lucky cat ornament in his office.

In addition to the Jiao family, Yuan Zhiyi, and the mother and daughter, the other people at this table are all Wei Ling's comrades. Some of them often go to help the mother and daughter, and they can all talk well without being left out.

I heard that Er Mao said that they hired someone to take a video, and it would be fine to take a look at the video then. Zheng Tan was not very curious about that anyway. Although he couldn't see what was going on outside, when the wedding was going on at a certain point, Zheng Tan heard Er Mao, Senior Brother Hetao and a few unknown voices making noises and shouting very loudly.

Zheng Tan felt so hungry that he wanted to sleep. He had already digested what he had eaten for breakfast. He was hungry and bored. When the wedding banquet finally started, Zheng Tan just ate hard. Anyway, there was no shortage of people to help pick up the dishes, especially Yuan Zhiyi, who picked up the dishes. That's called a positive attitude, and several people on the table looked puzzled.

When Wei Leng came over to toast, he wanted to signal to Zheng Tan, but Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi blocked him too tightly, and Wei Leng saw a black pointed ear.

After the banquet is over, many people who are busy with official duties or have other matters have to leave. Wei Leng also booked some rooms in the hotel, where people who had nothing else to do in the afternoon and wanted to play cards and rest could go there and have a rest. He also arranged dinner.

After Yuan Zhiyi left, Jiao's mother took her children and the mother and daughter to a room upstairs to rest. The three children were going to play poker while the two mothers talked. Zheng Tan was about to go to sleep, and "Li Zi" who had been released from the cage moved closer to Zheng Tan. Zheng Tan raised his feet and pushed it away. After a few seconds, he moved closer to him. Annoyed by the interruption, Zheng Tan jumped on the back of the sofa and ignored it. "Chestnut" is called below.

Before Zheng Tan could sleep for a long time, Er Mao came over.

"Heitan, do you want to come over and play?" Ermao looked at the black cat lying on the back of the sofa. He knew that whether he could take the cat away mainly depended on the cat's wishes. It agreed. At most, the Jiao family could only say a few words or give instructions indifferently. Basically, they would not be opposed to.

Zheng Tan thought for a while, and it was boring to stay here anyway, so he followed Er Mao for a walk and took a look at the legendary master.

Er Mao was originally in the big suite reminiscing with some senior brothers he hadn't seen for a long time, but as they chatted, he became a master training his apprentices one by one. Wei Leng was the protagonist today. He had been in the room for a while, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he ran away on the pretext of accompanying the bride and entertaining the guests, leaving several other senior brothers to continue to be criticized. In particular, those who had not been caught by the elderly for a long time, including Er Mao, were the main targets of the lectures.

So, Er Mao remembered the black cat still staying in the hotel, and planned to pull Zheng Tan over to divert his attention. After all, the master is also a cat owner. Although the master’s cat is too special, if a cat comes over, the master will be a good person. The attention should be diverted from them.

"Black Coal, please pay attention later, there is... well, anyway, pay attention and be smart, ah." Er Mao couldn't help but say one more thing before opening the door.

Before Er Mao finished speaking, Zheng Tan didn't know what Er Mao wanted to express. Is there any danger in it? That's not the case either.

When Ermao opened the door, Zheng Tan followed him in.

There was no smell of cigarette smoke inside, which was really rare. None of the old men smoked. Or was it because they were taking care of the master and refrained from smoking?

However, there is no smoke smell, there is other smell. In addition to strangers, there is something else...

Zheng Tan didn't know any of the people sitting in the room except for Er Mao and Brother Hetao. Er Mao was the youngest. In terms of age, apart from the only old man, there were several others who were watching. A middle-aged man about the same age as Senior Brother Walnut. When I heard Wei Leng and the others talk about it before, it seemed that there were bigger ones in the upper tier. It was just that they held important positions and were busy with affairs. They were so free that they couldn't leave and couldn't get away. The big red envelope must have been in Wei Leng's hands. Wei Leng's I guess I'm counting the money now.

Zheng Tan had a strange feeling from the moment he entered the house, as if someone was hiding in the dark and peeping. There were several pairs of eyes in front of him staring at him. It would be nonsense to say that he was not under a lot of pressure. However, Zheng Tan felt that these people were not malicious, so he relaxed a little. Most of them were looking at him, especially the one who seemed to be in good spirits. old man.

At first glance, this old man seemed to have a tough style, but after a few more glances, he felt that he was slipping a lot. When he looked at Zheng Tan, he was still playing Pai Gow in his hand. I wonder if Ermao learned his habit of playing cards from here. The so-called upper beam will be crooked if the upper beam is not there.

Several people in the room were silent after Zheng Tan followed Er Mao. They were playing cards, drinking tea, and picking their teeth. They were all busy with their own things. At the same time, they focused on looking at Zheng Tan. Seems to be expecting something.

Zheng Tan's feeling became stronger. He always trusted his intuition.

Since the enemy was immobile, Zheng Tan decided to make the first move.

Zheng Tan walked from the door to the sofa with his ears propped up, alert to the movements around him, and his eyes paying attention to the people sitting on the other side of the sofa. Unfortunately, there were too few things that could be seen from the eyes of these people. Leng and Ermao, their senior brothers, are better at pretending than the other.

When the feeling became stronger and stronger, and he noticed movement behind him, Zheng Tan suddenly turned around and waved his claws out without taking a closer look at the sneak attacker. The claws were hooked on the fabric of the sneak attacker, and he turned around and swept away the attacker. The attacker was thrown away.

Then, a sharp cry of fear or anger came out of the attacker's mouth, which stung Zheng Tan and made him want to go over and slap him a few more times.
