Strange Life of a Cat

Mother Jiao regretted that she had praised her cat so harshly just now, and now she couldn't even take it back. She really wanted to make the person in front of her give up her thoughts directly. She knew very well that this kind of people do what they say, and today she said it , maybe I can take my cat out tomorrow.

"Well...Teacher Tan, my cat is actually very troublesome, has a bad temper, and can't be controlled..."

"It's okay. Didn't you just say it? It's not the first time this cat has been taken out to play. And your cat is much stronger than my coke. I have to put a leash on when I take him out, otherwise this guy will look at me again on the road. If you see a relatively attractive cat or dog, you might jump off it, but you don’t have to harness it at school. School is safer and not as chaotic as outside.”

As soon as Tan Fang opened his mouth, he talked a lot. Before Jiao Ma could answer, the old man looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's getting late, so I won't interrupt. Let's go back first."

When Mother Jiao saw Tan Fang getting up to leave, she was thinking of saying something quickly to refuse the old man to take her cat out. Before she could say anything, Tan Fang raised his hand and said, "Don't give it away, Teacher Gu, you are too polite."

Mother Jiao: "..."

After that, Tan Fang ordered a Coke, hummed a little tune and went downstairs. When he got to the third floor, he saw old man Lan who was going out to throw out garbage. The two knew each other and kept chatting when they went downstairs. This made him want to go downstairs for more time. After explaining a few words, Mother Jiao immediately retracted her foot. She didn't know how to deal with these two old men.

Turning around and closing the door, Jiao Ma sat on the sofa and sighed, then looked at Zheng and said, "Heitan, why do you always know people like this?"

Zheng Tan twitched his ears, but he really couldn't answer this question.

He really wants to go out for a walk. He has visited all the places around Chuhua University. The further away you are, the less you go. The road to Jiao Yuan's school is just a little further away, and the other directions are basically unfamiliar. . Of course, if Jiao Ma firmly disagreed, he would not pay attention to the old man.

After Jiao's mother stared at Zheng Tan for a while, she sighed again, got up and walked to the bedroom. She decided to send an email to her husband, who was far away across the ocean, to talk about the matter and let Jiao's father make up his mind. It’s not just today. Her cat always runs away. When Wei Leng and Er Mao took her out, she was not very happy. Now there is another person. If this continues, will her cat become more and more wild and eventually leave? Run away from home? Colleagues in the office say that cats don't love homes as much as dogs, so Jiao's mother can't help but worry.

If Zheng Tan knew what Jiao's mother was thinking, he would definitely think that Jiao's mother's worries were completely unnecessary. He really didn't want to leave the Jiao family. Although the Jiao family was not a wealthy family, the place they lived in was small, and there were no family members. He had no power, but Zheng Tan felt at ease here, and that was enough.

If something happens to the Jiao family and they need money, and there is not enough money in the card, Zheng Tan can learn from Qi Dada and go out to make money. Even Qi Dada can make money to support his family. Why should he be worse than him?

I don’t know how Father Jiao replied to Mother Jiao. Two days later, Mother Jiao said to Zheng Tan, “If you want to go out to play, you can go, but you have to be more careful, bring the cat tag, and pay attention to safety.”

Tan Fang did what he said. He told Mama Jiao the day before he went out, and rode his electric tricycle into the East District compound the next day.

Zheng Tan had been lying on a tree in the compound waiting for a long time. The border collie named Coke was staying on the small tricycle. He was probably a little excited when he saw the other three cats in the compound and wanted to come down. It looked like it had stopped moving after being scolded by Tan Fang. The dog still had a leash around its neck and couldn't jump even if it wanted to.

Zheng Tan looked at the basket on the front of the car. There were things there, so he could only squeeze in with the dog. After getting down from the tree, he jumped onto the cargo area behind the tricycle. Although the space was not large, it was enough to accommodate a dog and a cat. The two bottles of wine inside did not take up much space. Zheng Tan did not I didn't feel crowded, but the tail of the border collie next to me kept swishing around, so Zheng Tan kicked it in annoyance without using much force.

"Woof!" Coke yelled after being hit, but he wasn't really angry.

"Be calm and have a Coke! I'm riding a bike!" Tan Fang shouted without looking back.

Cola looked at Zheng Tan and moved to the side. But the tail was still wagging happily. This guy seemed to be in a good mood, and he didn't care about Zheng Tan. He kept looking at the people and things on the roadside, and sometimes barked at someone's dog when he met someone.

The road Tan Fang took was not a road with a lot of traffic. After leaving the area around Chuhua University, Zheng Tan was much unfamiliar with the surroundings. He did not pay attention to Coke's swung tail and looked carefully. The surrounding buildings and road signs were so hard to walk around that I had to remember the route.

I turned a corner and entered a small street. There were many people buying sundries and snacks on both sides. There were also people riding this kind of three-wheeled electric bicycle like Tan Fang, but that person's car was carrying two children, while Tan Fang's car was carrying two children. There is a cat and a dog.

The car drove a little faster, and when it caught up from behind, the man started talking to Tan Fang. He often walked here, so he looked familiar and could chat with him.

The man's car was carrying his twin granddaughters. The two children were dressed exactly the same and had the same pigtails. It could be seen from their reactions to Zheng Tan and Ke Ke that although they looked the same, they There are still differences in personality.

During the few seconds when the two tricycles came together, a cat and a dog on one side, and a pair of twins on the other, stared at each other. The child near the car seat was more lively and wanted to grab Zheng Tan's beard, but Zheng Tan dodged him. However, Coke came up and licked the little girl's hand, causing the child to laugh so hard that his eyes went out.

After all, the road was not wide, and it was impossible for the two cars to keep abreast of each other. Tan Fang slowed down, and the car ran ahead and gradually moved away.

Tan Fang's destination is a normal university. This school is also very good, but it is a little far away from Chuhua University. Zheng sighed that it would be too time-consuming to walk there by himself, so he has never been here.

Just now I was wondering why there are so many small street shops like this around here. It turns out they are around the school.

Tan Fang left through the side door. The guard here was already very familiar with Tan Fang and even took the initiative to say hello to Tan Fang.

When the car stopped, Zheng Tan took a look. It should be the faculty dormitory area of ​​this school. The building is older, but it is newer than the building in the East District compound.

There was an old man on the second floor standing on the balcony watching. After seeing Tan Fang, he went downstairs, carrying a chessboard and a bag in his hand.

"Wait, let me bring you these two bottles of wine first." Tan Fang turned around to pick up the wine.

"Let it go for now, no one will take it anyway," the old man said. There were no other polite words like "Why don't you mention the wine when you come over?"

Before Tan Fang could go upstairs, the old man's wife came downstairs and waved for the two of them to play chess. She could carry just the two bottles of wine without any trouble.

"Oh, why are there cats this time?" the old man asked curiously, and then immediately cursed, "You brought someone else's cat out? You old guy, why do you always do unreliable things? What’s going on?!”

"What's so unreliable? This cat is very smart. He's very calm and knows what's good and what's good." Tan Fang said.

"Aren't you afraid of losing it?"

"Don't be afraid. I've asked about it. This cat is always taken out by people. It's used to it. Wasn't there a cat taking public transportation abroad a few days ago? So don't underestimate the cat's IQ." Tan Fang looked contemptuous. .

"I won't argue with you, and you won't listen to me anyway. In short, you should watch more, or you will lose the cat." The old man looked at the black cat in the car and said.

"Hey, I know." Tan Fang said, urging him to kill two rounds quickly, "If you lose, give me the pot of orchids on your balcony. I met a friend a few days ago, so I can give it to you as a favor."

"Hey, I don't know who loses more."

The place where the two old men played chess was in a forest next to the staff dormitory area. There were stone benches and tables there. For the old people, it was a bit cold to sit on the stone benches at this time of year, but the two old men didn't like to play chess in the house. He said that the rain there was not smooth, so he specially prepared a cushion for this purpose. The bag that the old man was carrying before contained a thick cushion.

Zheng Tan could tell that the old man's physical condition was not as good as Tan Fang's. If he walked fast, he could tell that there was something wrong with his legs. Perhaps it was because of this that Tan Fang rode here by himself instead of letting the old man go to Chuhua University. Find Tan over there to play chess.

"Woof woof!" Coke barked twice.

After Tan Fang heard the cry, he waved, "Okay, go to the edge and play by yourself, don't run too far."

After getting permission, Coke immediately ran around in the grass, sniffed around, and then peed on the tree to mark it.

Zheng Tan was curious about this strange place and planned to take a walk, but soon Coke, who had lost his excitement, followed him.

Zheng Tan listened to the chat between the two old men over there and realized that when he came here in the past, Coke couldn't run far away after having fun, and it was rare to see other dogs and cats around. He just lay at Tan Fang's feet and played boredly. He yawned and went to sleep, and Old Man Tan was so enthusiastic about getting out of bed just to play with his dog.

Zheng Tan was not in the mood to help Tan Fang take care of the dog. When he saw Cola following him, Zheng Tan tentatively lifted a branch at his feet. Cola immediately picked it up. Zheng Tan lifted it again, and it picked it up again, watching and playing. Must be quite happy. Zheng Tan vigorously lifted the branch away, watching Coke chase towards the branch, and was about to take the opportunity to run away, when he suddenly heard a wolf howl not far away.

"Ouch-ow-ow-

She put out the night light and covered her shoulders quietly

Intertwined with sparks, detained in precipitation..."

This ringtone is so unique. Zheng Tan tugged at his ears.

Just when he thought of this, Zheng Tan heard a familiar voice and walked over there.

The place where Zheng Tan was standing was on a higher ground. When he looked down, he saw two people squatting below. It is Er Mao, who has been missing recently, and Qin Tao, nicknamed "Beast".

If Er Mao felt something, he looked up and saw a familiar cat head, and the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.

Qin Tao didn't pay attention to Er Mao's movements. He was busy answering the phone.

"Hey... I'm at the Normal University. It's said that the person I went to the Normal University with is the beauty of a certain hospital... Birthday party? Whose birthday... I don't know... Oh, her, it's been almost a month, who is still here? I remember what she looks like... I won’t go, I’m in a bad mood recently... I’m not at work, so there’s no need to go to the company to find me, and there’s no need to go to the apartment, I’ve been sleeping in hotels lately, that’s it.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tao started to complain to Ermao again. Seeing Ermao's movements, he also raised his head and his mouth suddenly opened into an "oh" shape.

It's that one! That look that looks like a dick, it must be that one! No need to look at the cat card, Qin Tao was quite sure just by seeing the cat's eyes.

When Zheng Tan saw these two people, he was thinking: Why are these two bad guys here?

At the same time, when the two people below saw Zheng Tan, they had the same thought in their hearts: "You fool, you can see this guy everywhere!"
