Strange Life of a Cat

In fact, Zheng Tan does not approve of Xiaoyouzi going to the woods. Even though it is daytime, he has seen too many dark things in the woods. Maybe after the completion of the new buildings around here, when they gradually become popular, he will Let teachers and students return to a sense of security.

There are many deciduous trees in the forest, but there are also many evergreen species. However, secluded places always give people a feeling of darkness. Even if the eyes are full of lush greenery, the feeling that is brought to the bottom of the heart is always the darkness behind.

Xiaoyouzi tightly held the rolling pin in her hand, which showed that she was still a little nervous about entering this "dangerous zone". When she followed Jiao Yuan and the others, several children were together, together with Jiao Yuan, Xiong Xiong and the others. The boy was already courageous, so he didn't feel uneasy.

However, although she is alone now, perhaps because Zheng Tan is leading the way, she is not as frightened as when other children came in alone.

Zheng Tan listened to the voices coming from the other side. It was the cry of two children, a girl, with a strong sense of fear and anxiety in their voices. Among the two children's cries, there was the dog The barking sound of the black back. At first, Zheng Tan felt that it didn't show any aggressiveness, but gradually, the bark of the black-back changed a little, and it became impatient.

Children who have never raised dogs and don't know dogs can't judge their mood from the different barks and behaviors of dogs. In fact, compared to cats, the minds of dogs are generally easier to understand than cats. Zheng Tan didn't know it before, but after becoming a cat, he often spends time with these cats and dogs, and can also accumulate some experience from daily life.

That black back will not actively attack people, and its barking did not show pathological madness. Apart from these three voices, there are no other human or animal voices, so Zheng Tan speculates that the two children should be offended. It's gone, and it's still offending, otherwise, with the temperament of that black back, it wouldn't wait until now to get impatient.

In order to reconfirm that there are no other threats, Zheng Tan sniffed everywhere, and there was no smell of strangers. Recently, because of the holiday, no students have come here for a long time. The workers on the construction site will not come here either. They will find a place to smoke when they are tired. They will definitely not be in the woods area. There are signs around them saying that smoking is not allowed here. If they are caught by the school, they will definitely not ask for it. Well, the salary for the Chinese New Year is estimated to have shrunk.

After confirming, Zheng Tan felt much more at ease. Isn't it just two children and a dog? It's still a familiar dog, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

When he finally saw those two small figures, Zheng Tan was completely relieved. The two children didn't have obvious injuries, at most they might have twisted their feet or something, and they couldn't walk for a while, otherwise, the children's first reaction when they saw the dog barking at them like this would definitely be to turn around and run away.

The two little girls looked not much older than Xiaoyouzi, and the little girl who was sitting on the ground with her bangs cut and dressed like a fur ball saw Xiaoyouzi as if she had seen her mother, with tears in her eyes, she reached out for help appease.

And another girl in a pink padded jacket was next to the "fur ball". She didn't look like she was injured. She took a branch and waved it at the black back not far away, trying to drive it away.

When the girl in the pink padded jacket saw Xiaoyuzi, she said, "Is your adult around? Quickly ask your adult to come over and help drive this dog away!"

Xiaoyouzi shook her head, but there was no adult around.

Seeing Xiaoyouzi shaking her head, the two girls were immediately depressed. There is no adult here, how do you drive this dog away?

The "Furball" girl clutched her injured finger, and tremblingly looked at the dog a few steps away. Although this dog was not yet an adult, it was not considered a big dog, but it was bigger than the chihuahuas and corgis in their yard. Big, look at the fangs in that mouth, it must be painful to bite!

After the black-back noticed Xiaoyuzi and Zheng Tan approaching, it only glanced at them, and then continued to yell at the two children, the sound became more and more urgent, but none of the children here could know what it wanted. express what it means.

Zheng Tan looked around, and then at the black back. He noticed that the black back looked at the "furball" girl from time to time, and didn't focus on the pink padded jacket waving the branch. However, the threatening gesture of waving the branch really made him uncomfortable. So when I am getting impatient, I am also a lot more impatient. If it were Niu Zhuangzhuang, would you dare to wave a branch at him? He rushed forward and bit his mouth.

Zheng Tan walked over slowly and came to the girl "Furball". Xiaoyuzi wanted to stop her. In her opinion, most cats and dogs can't get along with each other. The few in the compound are exceptions. As long as I know each other, there is not much hostility between cats and dogs, but the dogs outside the compound are different. After seeing that her black cat's actions did not make the dog rush over, Xiaoyuzi was relieved, and at the same time she moved over there, holding the rolling pin in her hand.

Zheng Tan circled around the "furball" girl, paying attention to the sight of the black-backed girl as she turned around. Finally, Zheng Tan squeezed the "furball" child sideways.

"What is your cat doing? Let your cat go away! These are new clothes my uncle bought for me! They are very expensive!" The furball girl looked at Xiaoyuzi.

"It lets you move."

"Move if you say so? Don't you know I sprained my ankle? It hurts like hell!"

Xiao Youzi was about to say something, but Zheng Tan had already found the source of the trouble. Pushing away a corner of the fur coat, Zheng Tan saw a yellow plastic Frisbee. The frisbee has the teeth marks and smell of the black back.

This is it!

Zheng Tan pulled the Frisbee out, and after seeing Zheng Tan's movements, the black back wanted to rush over, but was knocked back by the pink padded jacket with a branch, so the barking became more intense.

"You're holding something down." Xiaoyouzi reminded.

The furball girl looked around suspiciously, and then tried to move a little. Just at this time, Zheng Tan had already dragged the Frisbee out, and then raised her paw, and the Frisbee flew out.

Seeing the Frisbee, the black-back didn't care about the three of them here, and started wagging its tail before Zheng Tan pulled the Frisbee. As soon as the Frisbee flew, it spread its feet and ran happily. When the Frisbee was about to hit the ground, it jumped up Catch it, and then walk to the construction site with the Frisbee in its mouth.

The owner of the black back should be walking around the construction site, which is relatively noisy, so it's no wonder that the owner didn't hear the roar here, otherwise he would have started blowing the whistle.

Seeing the dog running away, the three children all let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down directly in their pink padded jackets regardless of the dead leaves and dirt on the ground.

The alarm was lifted and the source of the disaster was found. The two children talked a lot more, and the girl "Maoqiu" even apologized to Xiaoyouzi. She was very sincere. If she knows her mistakes and can correct them, she is a good child. This child has a good heart.

Zheng Tan climbed to a nearby tree and did not stay with the three children. Because the pink padded jacket always wanted to come over and touch him twice, Zheng Tan turned around and ran away, not to be touched! Little girl, you still have mud on your hands!

The furball girls were talking about their previous experience. Today, the adults went shopping to prepare new year's goods, and the two of them came out to play because they were bored at home. The classmates are in the same family compound, so the relationship is good.

I heard that there is a plum blossom forest here, so the two children came here by themselves, but they didn’t expect to trip over the roots in the open ground, and they couldn’t get up for a while because of a sprained foot. She was wearing thick clothes, and her attention was all attracted by the pain In the past, you will not find what is under the ass.

The pink padded jacket took out a small pack of tissues from his pocket, wiped his hands, and asked the "furball" girl to wipe the wound.

The "Furball" girl originally wanted to find some snow from the surrounding area to wash the wound, but found that the snow had almost melted, and there was only a thin layer of white around, and there were some black dust and other sundries on the snow She was worried about using this to wash the wound, so after wiping her finger with a paper towel, the "furball" girl looked at the finger that was still faintly bleeding, and stuck out her tongue to lick it.

Zheng Tan and Xiaoyouzi: "..."

Seeing Xiaoyuzi looking at her in surprise, the "Furball" girl taught solemnly: "I once heard from my uncles that the saliva of mice contains a protein called nerve growth factor. Apply this Wounds treated with protein will heal twice as fast as wounds that are not smeared!"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Xiaoyouzi triumphantly, which meant: Look how good I am, knowing so much knowledge!

Zheng Tan, Xiaoyuzi: "..." Idiot...?

The pink padded jacket next to him looked around, and it seemed that the surrounding scenery was quite charming, as if he hadn't heard the conversation here.

"There's this in human saliva?" Little Yuzu asked.

The "Furball" girl paused, and then said confidently: "Even if it doesn't work, it will work, trust me, that's right!"

The pink padded jacket continued to watch the surrounding scenery more seriously.

Xiaoyouzi sighed, took out a small box from the backpack and handed it to the "furball" girl.

Zheng Tan looked at it, it was a first aid kit, Jiao's mother prepared it for everyone in the family after she was discharged from the hospital, Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi always carried a small first aid kit in their backpacks, and the things inside were obtained from the affiliated hospital Come, don't worry.

"What is this?" The girl took the first-aid kit, opened it, looked at it, and said "Oh", "I also have a first-aid kit in my room, but I never use it." Her first-aid kit was placed on it as an ornament. I have it in my room and never thought of using it.

When she took out a disinfectant wipe to wipe her injured finger, the girl kept yelling "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

When applying the Band-Aid, the girl felt that it would hurt if someone else stuck it on, so she used her other hand to apply it, making it even more horrible.

Anyway, it's not a big wound, many people don't bother to deal with such a small injury, besides, she will go home soon, and her family will definitely deal with it again after returning, so the other two don't say anything.

"Are you the one from the second grade who speaks English better than Chinese?" the girl "Furball" finally remembered and asked. She thought the girl in front of her looked familiar before. One time, a classmate told her that there was a transfer student in the second grade who could speak English better than Chinese. They went to see it on purpose. They thought it was a foreign kid, but they were disappointed. They didn’t see it much later. focus on. When she first saw Xiaoyuzi just now, she didn't pay much attention to it, and only remembered now.

"Yes, yes, I remember what it is called grapefruit." The pink cotton jacket finally stopped looking at the scenery.

Xiaoyuzi pursed her lips and said, "My name is Gu Youzi."

"My name is Yue Lisha, I'm in Class 3, Grade 3, and her name is Xie Xin. She's in my class, and we're a grade older than you. If someone in your class bullies you, come to us and we'll support you! "The furball girl Yue Lisha raised her fist and said.

"Yeah, you're welcome. You helped us this time. If you have any troubles, you can go to Class 3 or 3 to find us. Just report your name. Others will know." Xie Xin nodded.

Xiaoyouzi was silent. In fact, she really wanted to say that she would skip the first grade next year, so that she would be in the same grade as them, but aunty said to keep a low profile, so after thinking about it, Xiaoyouzi didn't make a sound.

After resting for a while, Xiaoyouzi and Xie Xin worked together to help Yue Lisha out. After leaving the woods, Xiaoyouzi let Yue Lisa sit in the back seat of the car, and the two of them pushed the cart together.

Zheng Tan followed, this time he didn't jump into the car basket, so as not to add another burden to them.

After arriving at an on-campus supermarket, Xie Xin went in and called his family. There were acquaintances there, so he could borrow the phone even if he didn't bring any money. After making the phone call, Yue Lisha and Xie Xin sat in the small supermarket and waited for their family members to come and pick them up. Little Yuzi drove Zheng Tan home.

The next day, Yue Lisha's parents came to express their thanks and offered a lot of gifts. Mother Jiao didn't care about these gifts. What she cared most about was that Xiaoyouzi could make friends. The children in the East District compound, unless they were Jiao Yuan took it with him, otherwise no one would come to play with Xiaoyouzi. Although Yue Lisha and Xie Xin belonged to the Xi family compound, the two family areas are not too far away, at least they can run around occasionally. It's good for the children to communicate with each other, but it's not a long-term solution to play with cats alone. People have to learn to communicate.

Two days before New Year's Eve, Jiao Yuan "closed the door to thank guests" and practiced calligraphy in his room. If he was staying at home this year, Jiao Yuan was going to write couplets himself.

Zheng Tan took a look through the window while Jiao Yuan was sleeping at noon, this little brat was quite serious, it was his posture, not just for fun.

When Jiao Yuan woke up, he saw Zheng Tan in his room. On a whim, after finishing the couplet, he dragged Zheng Tan to press three cat paw ink seals, one for the upper and lower couplets, and one for the horizontal script. Because of this, Zheng Tan ignored him for two days, and the ink was not easy to wash off. Although it was black, the color could not be seen, but when Zheng Tan raised his paw, he could smell the strong smell of ink. It didn't work either.

The day before the Chinese New Year, Zheng Tan went out for a stroll, and many shops around the school were closed. Compared with the situation on the central department store commercial street, some alleys from the school to Xiao Guo's pet center were much deserted. There are not even cats. Zheng Tan heard from some people around that there are many people catching cats during the Chinese New Year. Several cats around here have disappeared, and they must have been tricked and sold.

While walking, Zheng Tan saw "Li Yuanba" who came out to patrol the street, and there was peanut candy beside him. I don’t know if it’s the reason why this litter only gave birth to such a cub. Peanut Tang was born a circle bigger than other cats and grew faster. Now it’s bigger than other cats of the same age. Fighting Also fierce.

However, Zheng Tan is a bit weird, and Peanut Candy's cry is a bit weird, which is different from other cats, and also different from Zheng Tan. Once when Zheng Tan saw Peanut Candy facing a big cat in the alley, arching its back and puffing up its fur and yelling in warning, Zheng Tan suddenly felt creepy when he heard it for no reason, and the big cat also suppressed it. Press your ears and run away.
