Strange Life of a Cat

"Hey, senior brother, why do you still have a dog here?" Er Mao stared at the dog and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the dog did not show any hostility towards Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan also saw it. The dog in front of him showed strong vigilance at the beginning. After staring at him and Er Mao for a while, it became more easy-going and not aggressive. However, it still blocked Zheng Tan and Er Mao. At the door, not wanting to leave at all.

But the monkey on the big dog's back saw that the big dog didn't show off its power for a long time, so it barked a few times in anxiety, and even pulled the collar around the dog's neck.

"Heijin, come here, we are guests!" Senior Brother Walnut's voice came from the study.

The big dog blocking Zheng Tan and Er Mao immediately avoided it and walked towards the study.

Now Qi Dada was even more anxious. He seemed to feel embarrassed and pulled the collar around the dog's neck a few more times, trying to get the big dog to turn around. Unfortunately, not only did he not let the big dog change its direction, he was thrown off his back by the big dog. Go down.

Rolling on the ground, Qi Dada stood up and looked at Zheng Tan. Seeing that Zheng Tan's eyes were not very good, he quickly ran to the study to find someone to support him. He didn't want to be beaten again.

When Zheng Tan walked into the study, he found the big dog lying next to Senior Brother Hetao, ignoring everyone else around him. Qi Dada jumped over to Pei Liang, probably complaining.

Another complainer. Zheng Tan felt disdainful.

"Is this a Kunming dog? It looks like it has been in service." Er Mao looked at Hei Jin with bright eyes and said.

Most men prefer to keep dogs. Just like when Zheng Tan first met Senior Brother Walnut, Senior Brother Walnut said, "I would rather keep a dog than a cat."

"Yes." Hearing Er Mao's words, Brother Walnut was very proud, "Heijin is a military dog ​​that retired early due to injuries. It belongs to a friend's company. The dog is there. Although the status is not as good as that of a human being, it is still there. Isn't it a soldier? As everyone said, it's a carrot and a pit. It can be regarded as a weapon in the armament. You don't have to get it if you want it. I spent a lot of effort to get it over, and I still have to run it in after it comes over. Fortunately, everything went well. They helped me catch a drug dealer two days ago. I am so cool with this dog! But I dare not take him to the police station. This kind of dog usually does not bite people casually. If it really bites, it will be worse than a wolf. ruthless."

"I got it without saying a word. When everyone was bragging about their pets in the hotel that day, they didn't even hear a word about dogs from Brother Walnut. But then again, don't you still have police dogs there? If you want to keep a dog, you don't have to wait until now. ." Er Mao asked.

"Isn't this right? Besides, it took a while for him to adapt to this place after he was brought back. He has to be replaced by someone with a strong temper. I can't invite him back at all. Black Gold may be patient. He can help arrest him when he goes out. At home It can prevent thieves, and even helps collect shoes when it rains! I heard from my friend that when he was in the company, Heo Jin was often ordered by those people to steal other people's shoes, just waiting to make a fool of himself during emergency gatherings, and once even stole We’re at their company commander’s place.”

Lying on the ground, Heijin moved his ears from time to time, paying attention to his surroundings. Occasionally he heard a few familiar words and raised his eyes to look at Senior Brother Walnut. When Brother Walnut talked about his friend who was a soldier and the company, Heijin who was lying on the ground made a whining sound.

Senior Brother Walnut leaned over and touched Heijin's head, "You miss them, right?"

Zheng Tan suddenly felt that the atmosphere had become sad. Even Mr. Qi didn't move. He opened his eyes wide and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, Er Mao, let me show you the photos of Qi Dada from filming some time ago." Pei Liang broke the sad atmosphere, "Look, there is a popular female star, and I also have an autograph... I can sell it then. A lot of money.”

Zheng Tan: "..." Daqing is collecting autographs just to sell them for money?

"These photos can be used to show off more when I participate in the show and increase my popularity." Pei Liang cherished these photos and bought several photo albums to store such photos, so that they could be used to support the occasion.

"You're filming a costume drama and you're wearing costumes. Brother Pei, aren't you afraid of being held accountable for showing off other people's photos?" Er Mao pointed to the photos in the album.

"It's okay. I asked for permission. They are happy with it. This is also a kind of publicity and can increase their attention." Obviously this is not the first time Pei Liang has encountered this kind of thing. He is proficient in handling it and has taken many aspects into consideration.

While Er Mao was looking at the photos, Pei Liang took out his digital camera and said to Zheng Tan: "Come on, three friends, take a photo to commemorate."

"It's okay to take pictures, but don't leak the photos when the time comes." Senior Brother Walnut said.

"I know, I know it well." Pei Liang waved his hand, and then motioned for Zheng Tan to come over, "Black gold and black charcoal are both from the 'Hei' family. It's fate."

"I wonder when the two of them can work together again. After all, they both have experience in solving crimes." Senior Brother Walnut said jokingly next to him.

To take a photo, Zheng Tan looked at Qi Dada, who was posing, and then at Heijin, who was called over and squatted there obediently as if he was performing a task. Zheng Tan thought about it and jumped onto a small chair. He was shorter. You have to stand a little higher, otherwise when Qi Dada and Hei Jin come over, Zheng Tan will look quite thin.

Qi Dada did not dare to stand next to Zheng Tan, so he had to let Heijin stand in the middle, while Zheng Tan and Qi Dada stood on both sides. Zheng Tan didn't care whether he stood in the middle or on both sides, as long as he took photos.

After returning home, Zheng Tan thought he would never see the monkey again, but within a few days, Pei Liang and Qi Dada came to visit.

They said they came to visit, but in fact Ermao didn't allow them to enter the house, so they had to come and sit at Jiao's house. As soon as Qi Dada entered Ermao's door, Heimi started to roar, so Ermao didn't care about anything else. The cat and the monkey were important, so he had to stand outside the door.

Er Mao felt sorry for his cat, and Pei Liang felt even more sorry for his monkey. After sitting at E Mao's place for a while, he discussed it with E Mao, and E Mao took him upstairs to visit. After all, Jiao's mother didn't know Pei Liang.

Today is Saturday, and Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan are both doing homework in the room at this time. When they heard that there were guests, they were not prepared to take care of them. But when they heard about the monkey, they immediately put down their pens and ran to the living room.

Qi Dada was wearing a thin windbreaker today, and he was wearing a hat just now. .

"I didn't look carefully just now, I thought it was a child!" After hearing Ermao's introduction, Mother Jiao warmly entertained Pei Liang and Qi Dada. "It's a pity that there are no bananas at home, and there isn't much left to eat."

"Don't bother, just give it a glass of water." Pei Liang quickly stopped Jiao's mother who was about to go out to buy something.

Jiao Ma still washed some fruits and took them out, as well as small snacks. Pei Liang selectively let Qi Da eat some. Eating randomly can easily upset his stomach. After all, this foodie is not a human being.

When Mr. Qi followed Jiao Yuan to his room to play with toys, there were only a few adults left in the living room. Today, Pei Liang came over first to visit and see what the family that raised Zheng Tan, a special cat, was like. The second one was to take a group photo of the three friends and talk about some things.

Pei Liang took out his cigarette and was about to smoke it, but when he thought of a woman and two children in the room, he put the cigarette down again.

"It's okay, just smoke."

"No, if I take out my cigarette, I will waste another cigarette."

"Oh, he's still smoking." Mother Jiao was surprised.

"No..." Pei Liang began to complain. From smoking to drinking, he now also plays cards. "This guy also has his own wardrobe. His family made it for him, and he also has some commemorative costumes given by the crew. Qi Dada is a stinker." Even if its clothes are torn, we are not allowed to throw them away unless it dislikes them. It is almost spoiled by the family. "

This resonated with Mother Jiao, "My family is too! They are all spoiled. Their temper is bigger than that of a human being..."

Zheng Tan, who was listening with open ears in the room: "..."

Qi Dada gets along very well with children, perhaps because he has had more contact with children since he was a child. Unlike many cats and dogs who run away when they see naughty children. Now Qi Dada is bullying the two little Brazilian turtles in the tank. As soon as the little turtle stretched its head out, it poked it with its hand, then poked it again, and then chirped a few times. It looks like he has bad hands. Jiao Yuan and Xiao Youzi laughed beside them.

"Going to the capital to participate in a show?"

In the living room, Mother Jiao said in surprise.

"Yes, the invitation was sent out two months ago. For this, the whole family accompanied him to prepare. My mother also specially bought good fabrics and made him a new Qitian Monkey King's costume. It was just like what was shown on TV. The image of Sun Wukong in the old version of Journey to the West is stitched together, waiting to shock the audience. I think your cat can also go there to participate. Many animals that go to participate in the show are very smart, and many of them have been on You can be considered a half-star in TV shows, TV shows, movies, etc. I heard that your dog has also been in commercials, so it is definitely qualified. You can make a call to sign up."

"Is this how you signed up in the first place?" Mother Jiao asked.

"No," Pei Liang shook his head, and he started to babble again when he talked about this. "Our program team just called and invited us personally. There was no qualification check, because Mr. Qi had already made many films, and he also I have taken pictures with many celebrities. As for the reason for the invitation to this show, there was a heated discussion about eating monkey brains a few months ago. The people on the show suddenly saw a guest appearance in a certain TV series and thought about it. Such an idea makes people speak softly."

"It's the same in my family," Mother Jiao said. "The reason why I went to do public service announcements was because of cat abuse. It could attract more public attention. Alas, what people are like now!"

After a while, Zheng Tan heard Jiao Ma's exclamation and looked over there. He saw Pei Liang showing off the photos of Qi Dada and the celebrities. Even Xiao Youzi and Jiao Yuan ran over to take a look. .

When Pei Liang left, he also left his phone number and the address of his store. If the Jiao family goes there to travel, let them know in advance and they will set aside a room, take care of food and drink, and hire a tour guide. But Qi’s territory is huge.

The program that Qi Dada participated in happened to be broadcast on Saturday, usually around eight o'clock in the evening. In the past, Jiao's mother was watching TV series at this time, but this day was an exception. The three Jiao family members and Zheng Tan were all concentrated on the TV. forward.

The program was filmed early, and Pei Liang had already brought Qi Dada back home, but it was broadcast for the first time tonight.

When he came on stage, Qi Dada was dressed in the Monkey King's uniform, with two pheasant feathers stuck in his head. It looked very similar to the Monkey King's costume in Journey to the West on TV. As soon as he came up, he danced with the "golden cudgel" and performed somersaults with the stick, which attracted applause and cheers from the audience.

After the performance, he also bowed, showing that he was not only talented but also polite.

Zheng Tan had to sigh, he had indeed acted, and when interacting with the host, he could always draw the attention of the audience in front of the camera from the pretty host to him.

As the host said, this is a "monkey spirit".

There will be other talent shows next. Simple arithmetic is something that many pets have performed when they come to participate in the show, but Pei Liang is not prepared to let it show this.

"I can dance with guns and sticks on stage, and I can also help cook and cook at home. It's so versatile. However, I still have to ask, does Mr. Qi have any other talent shows?" The host looked like he didn't know anything. asked Pei Liang.

Pei Liang pretended to think for a while: "Then let's read aloud with emotion."

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were curious, how could this monkey recite poetry with emotion?

I didn't wait long and finally found out.

Qi Dada faces the audience. Behind it, the background screen displays: "Goose, goose, goose, singing to the sky. White hair floats on the green water, and anthurium stirs the clear waves."

Pei Liang read it once.

Immediately, Qi Dada followed and read: "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp chirp chirp. Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp."

In addition to this poem, Pei Liang read a few more poems, and Qi Dada followed "chirp".

Although everyone couldn't understand it, Qi Dada's sentences were well composed, and the rhythm, intonation, and gestures were all done very well, which made the audience happy.

Jiao Yuan looked at the TV, threw a piece of chocolate into his mouth, and said, "I think Heitan can also write a few poems about 'meow', and he will definitely do better than Qi Dada!"

Xiaoyouzi nodded in agreement.

Zheng Tan: "..." Even if I kill you, I won't go!

After the show was funny, it started to be sensational. Pei Liang's acting skills are not outstanding. Although most of the stories he tells are real events, it still needs some exaggeration to make people feel more deeply and let people understand the sense of responsibility. Many times, pets are treated like another child in the family. Generally speaking, maybe many people can't understand it, but people who have had the same experience will nod their heads.

The host also contacted Pei Liang's home, and it was Pei Liang's grandma who answered the phone.

The first thing the old lady said after receiving the call and listening to the host's explanation was: "Master Qi, I am grandma!"

The host laughed from the side and whispered: "Pei Liang has been pushed to the back."

The audience also joined in the fun.

Hearing the sound, Qi Dada looked around but couldn't find anyone. Pei Liang handed the microphone to it: "Here, say a few words to grandma."

Qi Dada grabbed the phone and started chirping. No one else could understand what it was saying, but it looked like the monkey was very excited and his eyes were wet.

"Come back early after filming the show, and be careful on the road." Pei Liang's mother said before the call ended.

After the call, Qi Dada jumped into Pei Liang's arms. Pei Liang patted his back as if comforting a child, "You must be homesick. Let's go home directly after filming the show."

There won’t be much to do with Pei Liang and Qi Dada after that. The show is coming to an end and the theme needs to be brought up. On the background screen are photos of monkeys in cages, with uneasy and frightened looks in their eyes. This was the monkey brain eating incident that was a hot topic during those days.

Mother Jiao lamented over the repeated use of wild protected animals, while Zheng Tan was thinking, indeed, having a good backer is more reliable than anything else.

(4.16) There has been a lot of buzz recently, and some of the memes, words and descriptions are difficult to write by hand. If you still see "**" in the article, please forgive me.
