Strange Life of a Cat

When Zheng Tan went out and went down the stairs, he found a note pasted at the corner of the stairs from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, just at Zheng Tan's line of sight.

"If you go out, turn off unnecessary power to avoid potential safety hazards, close the doors and windows to prevent the wind from blowing sand and dust in, remember to bring food... For specific steps, please refer to the detailed instructions on the desk."

Papa Jiao's handwriting.

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, turned around helplessly and went back. With some difficulty, he opened the door with the key hanging around his neck, entered the bedroom of Jiao's couple, and jumped onto the desk. listed in detail. Zheng Tan looked it over, went back and walked around the house, turned off part of the power supply as instructed in the instructions, and closed the doors and windows.

After finishing everything, Zheng Tan went out with a bag of thumb biscuits in his mouth, swiped his access control card, came to a sycamore tree next to the concrete road in the family compound in the eastern district, and climbed up the tree. There was a hole the size of a fist at the third branch. Zheng Tan put the key and access card inside, and then grabbed two leaves to cover it.

Generally, there are very few birds staying on the trees next to the road in the family compound, including the cheap parrot. As for other cats, they seldom climb trees here. Next to the concrete road. So Zheng Tan didn't worry about putting his things here. After all, he couldn't go out with the access control card marked as a pet and the house key.

After putting it away, Zheng Tan came to the grass next to Dongyuan Supermarket and waited for the opportunity to get in the car.

The delivery driver was helping to unload the goods. After moving the last box of goods on the pickup truck, the driver leaned against the door to smoke, and saw Zheng Tan squatting in the grass next to a bag of thumbs that children often eat. cake.

"Hey, Heitan, are you going out to play again today?"

The delivery driver knew Zheng Tan, and he was already familiar with this scene. The difference is that today the cat brought a bag of biscuits. Is this for a long trip?

Before that, Zheng Tan took these two delivery vans and slipped past twice. At that time, the delivery driver still had some complaints, but after Father Jiao delivered two cigarettes and a drink, every time the driver of the minivan saw Zheng Tan, his expression Everyone can laugh like a chrysanthemum, as long as Zheng Tan takes a ride, it means that he will receive gifts in the future, and the cigarettes and alcohol are good products, and they sell for more than 100 in the supermarket over the Central Department Store.

Zheng Tan stretched his waist, picked up the thumbcake and jumped into the back compartment of the pickup truck, waiting for the driver to finish paying with the supermarket owner and leave.

There was nothing else in the truck compartment today and it was cleanly unloaded.

"Heitan, today's goods have been delivered. I won't go to the central department store. I'll go home directly. Instead of going through the east gate, I'll go through the back gate of the second north gate."

The previous two times, Zheng Tan went for a walk around the Central Department Store. It was two stops away from the East School Gate on the side of the family compound. It would take about 20 minutes for people to walk, but the Chuhua University can be clearly seen from the Central Department Store. tall buildings. The school is big, and it takes a few stops to get from one end of the school to the other.

What the truck driver said just now was just talking, he didn't expect a cat to understand what he said, all he could do was give the black cat a ride, and he didn't care where the cat was going by ride.

When it was almost six o'clock, Dongyuan Supermarket's items had been counted and accounts settled. The truck driver greeted Zheng with a sigh, and then drove the pickup truck to the second north gate.

The setting sun had already turned orange and was about to drop to the horizon. At the entrance of the canteen in the North District, students were coming in and out. The last class was just over, and they were chatting and laughing about the events of the day.

The pickup truck passed by the canteen in the North District, Zheng Tan, who was squatting in the shadow of the pickup truck, looked at them, and suddenly felt a little sad when he thought of his former self. Before coming here inexplicably, I was also a third-year student.

When the pickup truck drove to the fork near the canteen in the North District, Zheng Tan saw a young guy in white overalls riding a 28-style bicycle that rang everything except the bell, heading towards the canteen in the North District . If one ignores the words "Chuhua University North Canteen" printed on the left chest of his overalls, others might think that he came from which laboratory.

Those who come and go around are the future elites of the motherland, but this young man who rides a 28 bicycle and wears cafeteria clothes does not have much envy in his eyes, let alone inferiority complex. When the wind blows, he can wear work clothes with a high-end atmosphere The effect of a high-end windbreaker, humming a song, facing the red sunset, still smiling brightly.

Going out from the north gate of Chuhua University, you are not close to the central department store, you can only look at the lights of the central department store from a distance, there are all the familiar scenery of Zheng Tan, and the neon lights around the central department store have also been turned on, the huge screen Flashing, it shows the prosperity of the metropolis.

Zheng Tan looked at everything going backwards outside the car, like an out-of-place bystander, who had seen a lot, but didn't think about anything in his mind, and was in a trance all the time.

Small trucks go from the city center to the third ring road, to the suburbs, the night is getting darker, and the wind is getting colder.

The sudden stop of the pickup truck caused Zheng Tan, who was in a daze, to hit his head on the car fender with a "boom".

Zheng Tan raised his fur paws and scratched the hair on his head.

Listening to the conversation outside, Zheng Tan knew that the truck driver had already arrived home. He got up and shook the dust off his body, jumped out of the car with the bag of thumb biscuits in his mouth, and looked around. Zheng Tan decided to find a place to sleep first, and then go out for a walk in the daytime. Although he is a cat now, he still likes to take a walk in the daytime .

While Zheng Tan was looking for a place to spend the night, the phone rang in a dormitory in a graduate student dormitory building of Chuhua University.

The person closest to the phone answered a few words respectfully, and then said "Please wait, he should have finished his shower, I'll call him" and put the phone on the table, and went to the bed diagonally opposite .

The person on the bed was sleeping soundly, gritting his teeth and laughing at the same time, the other three people in the dormitory were now numb except for the horror at the beginning.

The person who answered the phone just now pushed the person on the bunk who was grinding his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Yixin, your boss is on the phone! I said you were taking a shower in the toilet just now, don't talk about it later."

Hearing the words "your boss", the sleepy person suddenly woke up, hurriedly climbed out of bed, ran to the toilet to clear his throat, the voice of the person who just woke up from sleep would be a little hoarse, Yi Xin didn't want to The instructor knew that he was actually sleeping during the prime time of memory at night. Wouldn't this ruin his image in the boss's heart?

"Ms. Jiao, I'm sorry I was taking a shower just now. What's the matter?" Yi Xin picked up the phone, pretending to be good.

The roommates who played games around him didn't even type on the keyboard in order to cooperate with him, and pretended to discuss the academic issue of why eating meat with garlic is nutritious.

On the other end of the phone, Papa Jiao paused and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."

Yi Xin: "..." Your mother is burning the boss' ears! The resolution is fucking high!

Fortunately for Yi Xin, Associate Professor Jiao didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but asked, "Do you have time now?"

"Yes!" Yi Xin hurriedly expressed his opinion, even if he didn't have it, he would squeeze it out.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Xin stood in the living room of Jiao's house with the key he found in the drawer of Associate Professor Jiao's office.

Yi Xin came to Jiao's house for the second time. The first time was when the results of the postgraduate re-examination were announced in the first half of this year. He was Associate Professor Jiao's first student. In addition, he was also very capable. Associate Professor Jiao treated him very well. He paid attention to it and invited him to Jiao's house for dinner.

Yi Xin had never met Zheng Tan, and when Zheng Tan went to the Shengke Building, no one else knew about it except the Jiao family, so Yi Xin didn't know that the cat in his tutor's house was a bit peculiar.

After searching around, but not seeing Mao Ying, Yi Xin came to the bedroom and called Associate Professor Jiao back from the phone in the bedroom.

"Ms. Jiao, I didn't see the cat. Did your cat run away from home?" After saying that, Yi Xin wanted to slap himself. Let your mouth be cheap!

"The air conditioner is unplugged?" Papa Jiao asked on the phone.

"It's unplugged! The switch in the kitchen is also turned off!" Yi Xin hurriedly said, describing the situation in the house.

"Ms. Jiao, why don't I buy a pack of cat food and put it here?" Yi Xin asked.

"No, as long as there are snacks on the couch and the fridge is full."

Yi Xin: "..." Is there anyone who keeps cats like this?

"You come to take a look every day, and tell me on my phone at home. As for your work summary, you don't need to report this week."

Yi Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no need to report the progress of the experiment. The progress of the experiment in the past two days has not been smooth, so there is nothing to report.

"Okay, don't worry, I will come and have a look every day at this time."

On the train, Dad Jiao put his phone back in his pocket after giving his orders, and looked at the night outside the window.

That little bastard really ran out again!
