Strange Life of a Cat

The two children were waiting for the bus at the entrance of the hospital. The two buses ahead had too many people, so Jiao Yuan decided to wait for the one with a little less people.

There are many cars from the hospital to the east gate of Chuhua University, so there is no need to squeeze a car with so many people. At this time, many people on the bus are people who are off work. There are many people in Chuhua City, and there is no subway, so in There are always a lot of people at the time of work and commute.

Jiao Yuan is very silent today. If it was normal, Jiao Yuan would not hesitate to kick the tree next to him while waiting for the bus, pick the advertisements posted on the telephone poles, or talk to the people next to him, but now Jiao Yuan Just standing there quietly with Gu Youzi, a second grader, occasionally talking to Gu Youzi in a low voice because the bus that came was too full and didn’t want to get on it, waiting for the next bus.

Zheng Tan stayed inside Jiao Yuan's schoolbag, the zipper of the schoolbag left a little gap, allowing Zheng Tan to show his head, and also able to breathe air so that he would not be suffocated in the schoolbag. But no matter what, staying in the schoolbag is not good. Zheng Tan wanted to show his head, but now there are so many people talking, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zheng Tan shrank in the schoolbag.

Jiao Yuan's schoolbag smelled like tea eggs. He probably went to the cafeteria to buy a few tea eggs to carry on his back when he went to school in the morning, so as not to be hungry after class.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, a car with not too many people finally arrived. Jiao Yuan led Gu Youzi into the car, and just as someone got out of the car, he offered a seat. Jiao Yuan thanked him, and then Sit on the same seat with Gu Youzi, and put Zheng Tan's schoolbag on his lap.

There are only two stops to the back gate of Chuhua University, but there are two more stops to the gate of Dongyuan. It is best to be able to sit.

Zheng Tan felt a little stuffy staying in the schoolbag, so he put his nose on the zipper seam to breathe air. The bus stops and stops, sometimes because it arrives at the stop, sometimes because it encounters a traffic light, Zheng Tan feels a little drowsy.

However, not long after, Zheng Tan felt a pain in his beard.

Looking through the zipper seam, the person sitting in the front is a mother with a child, and the child is being hugged, facing the person sitting in the back. The child probably saw Zheng Tan's black nose and a few beards protruding from the zipper seam, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the beard.

Feeling the pain, Zheng Tan shrank back, pulling his beard back into the schoolbag.

"Cat...hair..." The child was not speaking smoothly, seeing the cat's whiskers that he had grabbed just now shrunk into his schoolbag, pointing at Jiao Yuan's schoolbag and shouted.

Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi, who had been distracted, came back to their senses and didn't know what happened just now. They saw the child pointing at the bag, thinking they had been discovered, and they were a little nervous. Although there are no signs on the bus that do not allow pets, most people are opposed to bringing pets on the bus.

The good thing is that other people didn't notice the beard that Zheng Tan showed just now. The light in the car was not good, and the people who got off work were tired and rested at this time, so no one noticed. He didn't make a sound until he saw a black cat hanging on someone else's schoolbag, and he smiled and coaxed a few words.

After arriving at the Dongyuan station, the two children got off the bus quickly, for fear of being discovered. After all, they were children, not as thick-skinned as adults.

After entering the east gate, Zheng Tan jumped out of his schoolbag, breathing fresh air and feeling much more relaxed.

At this time, it was already dark, the street lights were on, and the song at the end of the program played on the school radio could be vaguely heard. Gusts of wind blew by, and there were rustling sounds between the leaves and the sound of leaves falling.

Zheng Tan shivered, took a few steps to climb up the tree, and then slid down again. After some movement, he felt warmer.

Seeing Zheng Tan like this, Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi, who had been in a heavy mood, relaxed a little. There are people who go out for a walk around, and some people drive home after get off work, it is not deserted, and you can still hear the barking of a few dogs in Dongyuan.

Coming to his own building, after Jiao Yuan swiped the access control card, Zheng Tan ran in first. The building of the Dong family compound is relatively old, and there are no voice-activated lights installed, and the people who live here are used to it. The lights on the third floor below are all on, but the fourth and fifth floors are dark. There is no one at Parrot’s house on the fourth floor. He probably went on a business trip again. Qu Xiangyang’s dead house on the fifth floor rarely goes downstairs once a week, so no one is there. To turn on the light, Zheng Tan went up first to turn on the light, so that the two children would not bump into the stairs.

For others, the darkness in the corridor without lights is nothing, but for Zheng Tan now, it is nothing, or, for the cat, this kind of darkness is nothing.

Jump up and press the switch on the fourth floor, and then go up and press the switch on the fifth floor. After turning on the light, Zheng Tan ran downstairs, and the two children had just reached the second floor.

When they reached the fourth floor, the two children finally knew what their cat was doing up ahead of time. They didn't see the lights on the corridors on the fourth and fifth floors before they entered the building.

"Heitan is really smart!" Jiao Yuan laughed.

This was the first time he laughed today since he knew Jiao's mother had an accident.

"Hmm!" Gu Youzi said little as usual.

Zheng Tan was depressed, what is there to praise for this kind of shit?

"But Dad said that a cat that is too smart will attract people's attention, and there is no need to let outsiders know about some things. So just talk about what happened just now at home, don't let it out." Jiao Yuan said again.

"I know." Gu Youzi nodded, she never said anything. She used to see a child in her class bring a Barbie doll bought by her family to school every day to show off. It didn’t take long to find that the Barbie doll was missing. , I heard that it is arousing jealousy. Originally, the domestic cats are more eye-catching when they get out of school and pick them up from school every day, so there is no need to add something. This should be similar, so can't say more?

After returning home, Jiao Yuan called Dad Jiao and told him that he and his sister had returned home safely. Before the phone call was finished, Ah Huang's owner, whom Jiao Yuan called "Aunt Ling", came over, carrying a bag of cakes and milk, afraid that the two children would be hungry, and they could have breakfast tomorrow morning.

Aunt Ling couldn't stay here because there were relatives' children at her home, and Jiao Yuan and the two children also insisted on staying at home. Aunt Ling boiled the bath water for them, and then left after the two children took a bath and went to bed.

Zheng Tan was lying next to Gu Youzi, and after she fell asleep, he went to Jiao Yuan's room to check, the little kid was not asleep yet, Zheng Tan stood by for a while to make sure he was asleep, Zheng Tan Just came to the balcony.

When Zheng Tan can't sleep at night, he likes to stay on the balcony, blowing some air. This kind of environment is especially suitable for thinking about life, no, it should be thinking about this cheating cat life.

As the night deepened, the lights in the family compound were gradually turned off, and the surroundings gradually became quiet. There was no noise from the TV or people talking.

The lights are still on in Qu Xiangyang's dead house next door, and he won't fall asleep until one or two o'clock in the morning.

Zheng Tan didn't feel sleepy at all tonight, just sat on the balcony like this, moving his ears from time to time, listening to the movement in the two children's room, what reassured Zheng Tan was that the two children slept well, at least they didn't do anything evil Dream.

Looking down from the fifth floor, the orange lights on the side of the road in the compound are particularly conspicuous. Looking further into the distance, many orange light spots flicker among the swaying trees. After the wind subsides, the flickering lights among the trees follow. stand still. Most of the street lights in the school are orange, and there are lanes where there are such orange lights.

I heard that orange street lights are the safest light, because orange has a very long wavelength, so it can be seen from a long distance. Under the orange light, cars driving in front can also see clearly. At the same time, it is relatively soft, which makes people's eyes feel comfortable and makes the driver's eyes less tired. That way it will be a safe journey.

Zheng Tan yawned, it's getting late, if you stay for a few more hours, someone will probably have morning exercises, and even Qu Xiangyang, who is next door, has already fallen asleep.

Zheng Tan turned around and prepared to go back to the living room to sleep on the sofa, and he could take care of the two children in the living room. As soon as Zheng Tan raised his foot, he heard the knocking sound between the muffled wooden signs from downstairs.

Zheng Tan paused in his footsteps. The sound came from the wind chime hanging on the door of the bedroom near the balcony by the big fat man on the first floor. At first glance, this is just an ordinary wind chime. From the outsiders' point of view, the only thing that is special is that the wind chime is hung with a wooden sign instead of a metal or shell or other pendant that can make a crisp sound.

Zheng Tan didn't pay attention to it before, but once, when Fatty was being inspected by Wei Leng's old superior in military uniform, he knew the function of the wooden wind chime - warning.

As long as there is no strong wind, the wooden wind chime will not ring. It will only ring when the wooden signs are knocked, and the sound of each wooden sign is different.

Zheng Tan heard the sound of the wooden sign and looked downstairs. Looking at it, Zheng Tan found two "rats".

Although those two people were hiding in the shadows, they still couldn't hide from Zheng Tan's eyes. Even if they couldn't see clearly, they couldn't see their faces clearly, but it was still possible to catch those two figures.

At the end of September, there was a burglary in the Dong family compound, which resulted in two more dogs in the compound. After that, there was no more theft in the Dong family compound.

Judging from the cooperation and behavior of these two people, it is not like a first-time offender at all, and they seem to be very familiar with the layout of the old building in the family compound, and they also have some understanding of the residents. In this way, these two people may be the culprits of the last theft.

After living in peace for more than a month, can the two thieves finally bear it again?

Unexpectedly, the thief chose his own building this time. Could these two be targeting their own home? Certainly not the fourth floor. The house of the parrot "General" is quite special, because there is a rare parrot, the balcony has iron nets, and the door has been replaced. It is well protected and it is difficult to start. And the other household on the fourth floor is empty all the year round, and there is probably nothing of value.

Who will be the target of the two "rats" this time? If it's my own...

Zheng Tan squinted his eyes, moved his palm, stretched out his sharp claws, and retracted them again.

I can't speak, I can't boil water, and I have to put it in my schoolbag when I take the bus. But, can't I still handle you? !

But at this moment, the two people staying in the shadows downstairs in Building B of the Dongjia Family Compound have no idea that behind the window on the first floor, there is a cat squatting in the dark watching them. On the balcony, there is also a black cat watching their every move.
