Strange Life of a Cat

Due to the introduction of several sea turtle professors in the School of Biological Sciences and the expansion of enrollment, the school redistributed some resources, including the teachers' offices.

Papa Jiao's original office was divided into the offices of three young lecturers, and Papa Jiao was assigned an independent office in the courtyard, but the area of ​​that office was smaller than the original one, less than ten square meters.

At the beginning, the hospital was afraid that Associate Professor Jiao would complain, but unexpectedly, Associate Professor Jiao expressed understanding, and packed up and moved to the office the next day. For this reason, the good impression of Associate Professor Jiao, the leader of the hospital, has risen to another level.

Of course, the reason why Associate Professor Jiao moved so easily was definitely not because he was considerate of the higher-ups in the academy and was anxious about others' needs. Zheng Tan could also think of part of the reason. Now that the courtyard has decided to assign them in this way, as a faculty member, they can only accept it. The one who will suffer from the quarrel is themselves, not to mention a young associate professor like Papa Jiao.

But Dad Jiao not only agreed to move the office, he didn't seem reluctant, the main reason was the location of the new office. The window of the new office faces south, so you can enjoy the sunshine well in winter, and the most important point is that it is at a corner on the second floor, and there is a big plane tree next to the road below the building, and the branches of the plane tree extend to the window It is convenient for Zheng Tan to jump out of the window every time he comes to look for Papa Jiao.

So many times, Zheng Tan was tired of playing and bored, so he ran to the Shengke Building and jumped directly from the branches of the plane tree to the window sill of Papa Jiao's office. Under normal circumstances, Papa Jiao would not lock the windows, except when he was leaving at night. So after Zheng Tan jumped to the window sill, he could easily use his paws to open the screens and windows. The windows are of a flat pull type, so as long as they are not locked, they can be easily opened.

Next to the computer chair in Father Jiao's office, there is a small chair, Zheng Tan usually sleeps on it when Jiao Yuan and the others are away.

On this day too, Zheng Tan accompanied Jiao Yuan and the others who had taken a nap at home to school, and ran to the biological department building to sleep directly in Papa Jiao's office through the window. Lie on the small chair and bask in the sun to sleep, and no one will disturb you.

After sleeping until five o'clock, Zheng Tan looked at the clock on the wall and stretched himself. Dad Jiao probably won't go home for dinner again today, and recently he has been asking students to help bring meals.

Now Father Jiao has three students, one is Yi Xin who is a graduate student under Father Jiao, and the other two are students who are doing undergraduate thesis with Father Jiao. Father Jiao eats with them recently, and the four of them are often busy until midnight .

Although Boss Jiao said before that he will recruit a few more graduate students next year, he still selects candidates according to his previous standards when making the selection. Some teachers in the college have several graduate students who have entered the laboratory and started to follow up the project. Father Jiao still only has Yi Xin as a direct student in the true sense.

The good seedlings who are about to graduate will either go abroad, or be accepted by a few big cows in the college, and the rest who are slightly better will be divided up by some rich teachers who have more projects at hand, and finally the remaining ones will come to graduate school Yes, Boss Jiao didn't like any of them. He wanted to wait for the national postgraduate examination and then look at the students who applied for it.

In addition to being busy with project research, Dad Jiao also pays attention to Yuan Zhiyi's company.

The name of Yuan Zhiyi's company is "Tianyuan Biology", "Tian" is taken from a character in Professor Yuan's name, and "Yuan" is a homonym of "Yuan".

Zheng Tan heard from Papa Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi that they might set up a dedicated research and development department in the future, but now the company has limited talents, and many outstanding talents are not willing to work in a small company that has just been established. For Dad and Yuan Zhiyi, they have a long way to go.

Associate Professor Jiao now buys some experimental instruments and supplies from the company, and can buy more experimental necessities with less money. Yuan Zhiyi also expressed his support. This project is completed, and Professor Jiao Pasheng will be of great use.

Associate Professor Jiao will also recommend the company to some teachers who want to save project funds. He did not explicitly say that he has a part in this company, but he seems to mention it casually when the teachers are chatting together. These teachers have a lot of topics in their hands, and the funds approved by them are hundreds of thousands to millions. They also want to make a fortune from these funds and buy equipment and utensils. Associate Professor Jiao Jiao and Yuan Zhiyi understand it well. They don't talk too much.

After waiting for another ten minutes, when the hour hand reached six, Zheng Tan jumped out of the window, closed the window, and went home for dinner. Continue to hang out after eating. During this period of time, Ah Huang was under strict control, but the sheriff and Fatty remained the same, playing with Zheng Tan for several days until late.

Because of the cold weather, many places are empty at night except for some students who come out for class and self-study, and this is a good thing for the cats, at least no one will disturb them when they are playing.

Occasionally, I would meet young couples doing some favorite things in remote corners. At that time, Zheng Tan would hide to the side and watch. A girl went to a remote place in the school to play, to find something new and exciting.

And whenever something like this happens, Zheng Tan can't help thinking, why didn't he pay attention to whether there were cats peeping around when he was "doing things"? Perhaps Zheng Tan would not take it seriously even if he saw a cat at the beginning.

Zheng Tan brought the sheriff and Fatty to the woods where he usually climbed trees. During this time, they played here at night, and there were some cats from other places, including cats raised by the staff at the logistics side, and some outside the school. After all, this is the edge of Chuhua University, very close to the side gate, and many cats from outside the campus often come here to play.

There are too many cats, so it is natural to fight. Anyway, the sheriff has fought many times. As for the big fat, it is still the same. No one provokes it, and it doesn't bother to pay attention to other cats.

Zheng Tan did get into a fight once, and it was caused by a female cat.

Zheng Tan swears that he has no interest in that female cat. In his heart, Zheng Tan still regards himself as a human being. He really can't get excited about a cat. He might as well go to a remote corner of the school to see those live erotic palaces. But the female cat came up to him, which made Zheng Tan arouse hostility.

So, Zheng Tan got into a fight with the cat that came from outside the school, but it wasn't really a fight, Zheng Tan slapped him, and the cat rolled away. I didn't control the strength well, so I used a little more force.

So the cat who saw that scene, when they saw Zheng Tan again, all shunned. The cat who was slapped by Zheng Tan didn’t come to the woods for a long time afterwards, and even if he did come, he didn’t dare To provoke Zheng Tan.

In the woods at night, apart from the rustling and falling of the leaves caused by the gusts of wind, there is also the sound of cats running in the woods.

The way cats express their feelings can be direct or subtle. It's a pity that the two cats who get along well are licking each other's fur. They may bite after licking and licking. After biting, they slap their claws and kick their legs to start fighting. After the fighting, they will stay together again.

Therefore, Zheng Tan would often see two cats chasing and beating them in the grass, and hear the scream of a cat being bitten.

In the grass under the tree, cats are running around, and cats meowing can be heard from time to time. Zheng Tan ignored them.

Zheng Tan likes this kind of night, without being disturbed by others, under the cover of the night, even if he behaves frighteningly, he will not be noticed by others, so he can run around unscrupulously.

Those cats were scurrying in the grass, while Zheng Tan was scurrying up the trees, from one tree to another, like monkeys, under the moonlight they could only glimpse vague shadows, and they couldn’t see it unless they looked carefully. arrive.

Night, black cat.

Zheng Tan quickened his steps. The sense of security of standing on a high place and the self-satisfaction of overlooking everything made Zheng Tan reluctant to stop here. He ran along the branches. Jump up another tree.

Facing the evening wind, sometimes you will encounter those falling leaves, break away from the leaves, and continue to move forward, as if you have broken through an obstacle, your heart seems to suddenly open up, which makes Zheng Tan inexplicably excited.

When Zheng Tan stopped and came back to his senses, he realized that he was already some distance away from the cats, but the sheriff and Fatty will definitely come this way later, and the other cats will also come later.

Standing on a branch, Zheng Tan panted, breathing in the cool evening wind, the coolness stimulated the nerves, and gradually calmed down the emotions just now.

Raising the arm, he picked up the fallen leaves and stepped on them under his claws, sharpened his claws, and cut the leaves into several small pieces. When a gust of wind blew, the leaves that were scratched into small pieces were scattered.

After Zheng Tan finished scratching the two leaves, he still didn't hear the sheriff and Fatty, and complained in his heart why he hadn't come here yet.

Suddenly, Zheng Tan's ears moved, and he looked in a direction ahead.

The sound of dragging and other sounds came from there. It seemed that someone was covering his mouth and could only make a sound from his nasal cavity, struggling to make the surrounding bushes make heavy, fast and short noises.

Listening to the voice, the person whose mouth was covered was a woman, besides her, Zheng Tan also heard a lowered male voice, who didn't know what to say, and the voice went deep into the woods again.

Zheng Tan stepped lightly, carefully jumped onto another tree, covered by the sound of the leaves blowing by the gust of evening wind, and moved over there.

Soon, Zheng Tan understood what happened. In fact, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Zheng Tan could guess it.

Every university has one or two "doctoral roads".

It's not a good word, in fact, it's full of irony.

In many colleges and universities, especially those with a relatively large area, there are one or two remote places far from the center of the school, and some bad things will happen every once in a while. The most typical ones are strong and so on. event.

For those victims, the school will give varying degrees of compensation according to the severity of the situation. For example, the school pays for postgraduate study and Ph.D., and so on. Over time, this kind of accident-prone area is given "Doctor's Road" or other names by students.

Since Zheng Tan often walks in this area, he also hears the chats of students or school staff passing by here to rest, and there are many gossips about such incidents.

Chuhua University has had many incidents in this area before. Due to its remote location, there are many semi-abandoned old houses around. The history is so long that the original plan is not applicable to the present. Except for construction vehicles, private cars are reluctant to go here.

The street lights around here are often smashed, and within a week after being repaired, they were smashed again. I don’t know who smashed it. The school broadcasting system installed here will also be destroyed. No one can be caught, and no evidence can be found. Simply ignore it, just let some class teachers or counselors tactfully tell students not to go to those remote places alone at night. This forest was one of the areas told to watch out. This is also the reason why Zheng Tan rarely sees female students in the woods here.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why the school pushed down the old houses around here and built new ones to gain popularity, make the surrounding lively, and reduce the probability of such incidents happening?

While Zheng Tan was thinking about the gossip he had heard before, he approached the place where the incident happened. At the same time, Zheng Tan heard that the cheating cats behind him also ran towards this side.
