Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 62 How many legs do cats walk on?

When Zheng Tan got out of the car, the sky was already getting dark.

Because he was too absorbed in thinking about things, Zheng Tan didn't pay attention to how long the little bread had been running, and he didn't even expect to be so unlucky.

It just happened to take a car, and the car went out of town. I don't even know if this place is still in Nancheng, but judging by the time, I'm afraid it has already left Nancheng a long time ago.

All that caught the eye were patches of woods and fields that stretched all the way to the horizon.

The countryside is not considered poor, and the houses of the residents are all modernized, and only a few places still retain the old-fashioned tile-roofed houses.

Zheng Tan doesn't know where this place is on the map. However, many of the residents' houses are two or three-story bungalows. It is good to know that these people's living conditions are good, so it is easier to find a phone number. In a poor place, it is estimated that it is rare to find a telephone.

Zheng Tan first wrote down the address of the driver's home, if the driver leaves the car again, he can continue to rub the car. Afterwards, Zheng Tan was going to take a stroll around to familiarize himself with the terrain and this unfamiliar environment. If he wanted to wait for an opportunity, he had to spend the time of waiting safely.

Find out which households are easier to find and find food, and which villagers have telephones in their homes, and how easy it is to find opportunities to make calls. Another point that is more important is to find a safer place for yourself.

To be on the safe side, Zheng Tan prefers taller branches. Perhaps because the temperature here is slightly higher and warmer than that in the central region at this time of year, many deciduous trees are luxuriant, which is good for Zheng Tan to hide.

Walking around the village, Zheng Tan encountered a few native dogs, and cats playing outside to catch bugs, all of which were kept free. Seeing them wandering around leisurely, Zheng Tan also felt relieved. Seeing these cats and dogs wandering outside meant that no one beat dogs and cats here.

He found a large pagoda tree with lush branches and leaves and shade as a temporary foothold when the weather was fine. Zheng Tan jumped on it and tried it. Overall, he was satisfied. He chose a branch and got down on the ground to look around.

Here you can see the situation in the village, and at the same time, you are not too close, so you won't be harassed by those villagers.

There is a citrus orchard near this locust tree, and there are two domestic dogs tied to it. Zheng Tan just now saw a cat enter the citrus grove and pass in front of the two dogs, but the two dogs just glanced at it, and then didn't react at all, probably because they are already familiar with each other and are too lazy to bark .

A black butterfly flew past the big pagoda tree, flew into the citrus garden, and fluttered among the citrus trees.

Zheng Tan remembered that it seemed to be a kind of swallowtail butterfly, and he had seen similar ones in Old Lan's small flower garden before, and the last swallowtail that flew into the small flower garden was made a specimen by Old Lan. There were a few students present at the time, and Zheng Tan heard them talking, saying that in some places, this kind of swallowtail butterfly is the legendary Liang Zhudie.

This Liang Zhu butterfly is also very particular, to be able to be a Liang Zhu butterfly, this kind of butterfly must be sexually dimorphic. The so-called sexual dimorphism means that there are inherent obvious differences between female individuals and male individuals, which can allow people to judge its gender through these differences.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are a man and a woman, and when they are related to legends, people think that there should be a difference when they transform into butterflies. On the contrary, for example, the Bodhidharma butterfly in the butterfly species, because the color of the male and female swallowtails is similar, it is not easy to distinguish clearly, so they are not advocated as Liangzhu butterflies.

Zheng Tan looked at the pattern on the wing of this swallowtail butterfly, it looks like a female butterfly, that is "Zhu Yingtai"?

Zheng Tan was admiring "Zhu Yingtai". Suddenly, the cat that had walked into the citrus garden jumped up from behind a citrus tree, and patted the butterfly down with one paw. Play around, and then eat.

Zheng Tan: "..."

I don't know how those who tell the legends with great emotion will feel when they see this scene.

After Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies and flew together, were they eaten by cats? It is estimated that the expression of the person who heard this cruel version of the story must be constipated.

Yawning, Zheng Tan squinted his eyes and went to sleep. There is no way, if you want to take action, you have to wait until night.

When Zheng Tan was sleeping, he had a dream. He dreamed about the days when he was at Jiao’s house during the Chinese New Year. He remembered that Zheng Tan and his two children were sitting on the sofa watching TV with "Watching Dogs Talking". At that time, Jiao Yuan was still there. He said, "Heitan, you must remember the way home. If you get lost and we can't find you, can you come back by yourself?"

Liu Nancheng is still trying to find a way to return to Chuhua City. Zheng Tan has always been conflicted about this issue, but in the end he decided to return to Chuhua City. After all, the life of a cat is different from that of a human. It is true that he can find a good family. It's not easy, not to mention, Zheng Tan has already begun to miss the East District compound.

Waiting until night fell, Zheng Tan jumped down from the locust tree and walked towards the villagers' houses.

People in this place eat dinner early and go to bed early, which saves Zheng Tan from waiting too long.

First, I found a few families, and found some food to eat. It was not very delicious, so I had to make do with it. After eating, I went to find the phone. Finding the phone was a bit difficult.

People in this place also like to keep the telephone in the bedroom and by the bedside, that is to say, the telephone is always guarded at night. This is the case when Zheng Tan changed several companies. Even if these villagers fell asleep at night, Zheng Tan didn't dare to go over and make a call right away. The phone was right next to their bed, which would easily wake them up.

Zheng Tan doesn't want to be treated as a monster, so he can only continue to search to see if there are any residents who are easy to attack.

Zheng Tan would not choose those who kept dogs at home, these dogs didn't know Zheng Tan, and they would bark when they saw him. For this, Zheng Tan can't do anything about it, but most of the villagers have dogs in their homes, which makes Zheng Tan's choices much narrower.

The good thing is that Zheng Tan found a good tenant in the end, and what's more coincidental, this household is the driver's house of the minivan.

Hiding in the dark and listening to the villagers talking about some things, Zheng Tan found out that the younger brother of the minivan driver was going to get married. Bring some appliances.

The wedding date is the day after tomorrow, and this family has a big yard. Since they hold open-air banquets, but the kitchen is not big enough, they have dinner in the yard. Now most of the people in his family are busy in the yard, and they light up the lamps to continue their work when it gets dark at night.

In this way, there would be no one in the room. What's more, the family didn't have a dog yet, which made Zheng Tan very satisfied.

The first floor is where the old people live, the phone is not here, and there is nothing in the lobby, Zheng Tan doesn't look at it much.

There is a simple shed next to the two-story building of this family for cars. Zheng Tan climbed into the second floor from this simple shed.

There is a telephone in the bedroom on the second floor. Like other residents, the landline phone is also placed on the bedside table. Zheng Tan observed for a while, there were indeed no adults on the second floor at this time, and they all went to the yard to help. In the small room next door, there was a little girl who looked like she was in kindergarten. She was reading a book by herself on the floor covered with foam boards.

As long as there are no adults, even if it is seen by such a child who can't count, Zheng Tan doesn't care, adults don't take what children say seriously.

Zheng Tan jumped in from the window, ran towards the phone excitedly, jumped onto the bedside table, picked up the receiver and dialed the number he knew by heart. Of course, he must not forget to add 0 in front of the mobile phone number this time. As for the landline number, Zheng Tan I don't quite remember what the area code of Chuhua City is, so I called Father Jiao's cell phone.

At this time, everyone in the Jiao family should be at home, right? Associate Professor Jiao should also be at home.

Zheng Tan excitedly waited after dialing the phone, but when he heard the prompt on the phone, Zheng Tan's mood suddenly became gloomy again.

paralysis! This phone did not open the long-distance lock!

You have to find the key to unlock the lock!

Where can I find the key? !

Zheng Tan looked through the drawers, but he didn't see the small key to open the phone's long-distance lock. He was wondering, as for locking the long-distance lock of this phone? Shouldn't long-distance calls be used frequently in places like this?

Frustrated, he put the microphone back, and Zheng Tan squatted there thinking for a while, wouldn't all the phones in these villagers' homes be locked to long-distance, try one by one? But it's better to steal the driver's mobile phone, or someone else's mobile phone, at least the mobile phone will not be as troublesome as a landline.

I looked at this bedroom, because there was a wedding at home, there were a lot of candies and other snacks on the table, probably specially used to entertain guests.

Zheng Tan dug out a bag of beef jerky and shredded squid from a big bag. After taking it out, he closed the zipper of the big bag again, then jumped onto the window, and was about to leave with two bags of snacks in his arms.

When standing by the window, Zheng Tan was holding the snacks in his hands, standing on the window sill with two legs, ready to jump off. Before jumping, Zheng Tan noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head to look over.

The little girl who was reading a picture book next door just now was hiding outside the door of this bedroom and looking at this side. She didn't cry out loud, but her eyes were full of curiosity.

Zheng Tan paused, then ignored her, and jumped off the window sill. Jumping on two legs isn't as convenient, but it's okay after a few jumps while looking for a phone. Zheng Tan was also willing to be able to hold things with his hands free, anyway, no one saw him except the little girl at this time, so he was terrified, and besides, he would not stay in this place forever, and if he was found out, he would just run away.

Zheng Tan walked in a chic way, but it had a lot of impact on the children.

In the evening, the child's mother came to teach the little girl to count from one to ten with a picture book. In order to cooperate with the memory, her mother also specially combined some things in reality to teach.

"How many legs does the bird walk on?" asked her mother.

"Two." The little girl stretched out two fingers.

"How many legs does the big yellow dog walk on?"

"Four!" the little girl said, counting the legs of the big yellow dog in the picture book.

"Yes, it's really smart. How many legs does the kitten walk on?" Her mother asked with a smile on her face.

The little girl thought about the cat she saw today, counted on her fingers, and then stretched out two fingers, "Two!"

Her mother: "..."

Zheng Tan didn't know the impact he had caused, at the moment he was walking towards the big locust tree with two bags of snacks in his arms. At this time, there was no one in the field, and there were only a few dogs guarding the orchard. No one would see a cat walking on two legs in a very natural way.

While walking, Zheng Tan was thinking of a way to "borrow" the phone, when he suddenly heard a faint humming. He strained his ears to listen again, and Zheng Tan felt that it sounded like a dog.

Putting down the snacks in his hand, Zheng Tan walked over to the side where the sound came from. If there was any danger, he could run faster with four legs like this.

There is a pit over there, probably someone used to store water to raise something, and now the pit is full of weeds. And at this moment, there is an iron cage in the pit, and there are three puppies in the cage, two of them are lying there without moving, only one who is a little bigger is crawling inside, whimpering and whimpering constantly.
