Strange Life of a Cat

Chuhua University, Department of Biology Building.

After Associate Professor Jiao finished his class, he was about to take out his key to open the door of the office in the Department of Rehabilitation, when his cell phone rang suddenly.

Without taking out the keys, Associate Professor Jiao quickly took out the phone and looked at the caller ID on it.

It's an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Aww—"

Hearing the howling sound of a cat on the other end of the phone, Associate Professor Jiao was stunned for a while, and then, his face, which had been calm recently, suddenly smiled brightly.

Several young female teachers who came over saw Associate Professor Jiao's blinding smile, and thought to themselves, in fact, Associate Professor Jiao may not lose to Professor Ren in terms of appearance.

Associate Professor Jiao looked around and saw that this was the teacher's office, and there were always people coming and going in the corridor, so it was inconvenient to talk, so he hurriedly took out the key to open the door of the office, but because he was too happy, he inserted it into the keyhole several times to get it. Insert it.

After closing the door of the office after entering, Associate Professor Jiao casually threw an important meeting record in his hand on the table.

"Heitan?" Father Jiao asked tentatively.

Regarding the fact that his cat would call him, Associate Professor Jiao just imagined it. Perhaps due to his background in science, Associate Professor Jiao looked at the problem too rationally and analyzed the probabilities of various situations, but the final result disappointed him.

There are so many people in the city to help, so many channels and manpower to search, but there has been no news. They all said that it must have been shipped to other provinces. It was very difficult to find after leaving the province. Even if they were in the south, they had asked someone to help find them and posted notices, but there was no news. Moreover, if you go out of the province, even if your cat is fine and you have the opportunity to call, you must not know that there is a prefix in front of the phone, right?

But now, he himself actually received a call from his cat. Associate Professor Jiao felt that this feeling was worse than knowing that the project application was successful.

Unknowingly, they have already regarded Heitan as a member of the family. After Heitan disappeared, life seemed to be missing a piece, and every time they went home and looked at the gap, they felt sad. The two children, too, have been depressed. The neighbors around said to help find another black cat to comfort the child, but both children refused. Everyone in their family knows that black charcoal is irreplaceable.

Zheng Tan over there was also excited, and howled again, louder and louder than the previous howl. He didn't pay attention to Fang Shaokang's eyes when he saw ET, and the three puppies who were stunned by the howling.

Even though the howling was terrifying, Associate Professor Jiao felt very kind.

Those outside who were talking about Associate Professor Jiao would never have imagined that the person they were talking about was talking on the phone with his cat.

"Heitan, is there anyone around you?" Associate Professor Jiao said.

Zheng Tan's excitement gradually calmed down. He looked around, and then his eyes fell on Fang Shaokang. After answering the phone, he pushed the phone towards Fang Shaokang.

When Zheng Tan pushed the phone, someone knocked on the door of Associate Professor Jiao's office.

"Come in." Associate Professor Jiao said directly without taking the phone away from his ear.

It was Zhao Le who entered the door. Ever since she knew that the black cat that had saved her had been captured, she had been looking for it and mobilized many friends to help, but the cat catcher was too slippery and left no useful clues. Although she and Associate Professor Jiao both suspected that there was something wrong with Ren Chong, but because they couldn't find evidence, it was Wei Leng who went to Ren Chong's house and lurked for a while before finding some clues. She came here today to discuss with Associate Professor Jiao how to deal with Ren Chong and find clues from him.

Zhao Le did not expect that when he entered the door, he saw Associate Professor Jiao with an unstoppable smile on his face, and his heart moved, did he find it? !

On Zheng Tan's side, Fang Shaokang was very puzzled by the behavior of the cat in front of him. He looked at the phone interface and picked up the phone while he was still on the phone.

"Hello?"

When Associate Professor Jiao heard people's voices, he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Le. After introducing himself and explaining the identity of the black cat over there, he asked a series of questions.

Fang Shaokang also learned the general situation of the matter in the process of answering the question. It was really surprising that such a thing would happen. There was a cat calling home.

In the office, when Dad Jiao heard Fang Shaokang's self-introduction, he wrote down his name on the paper with a pen, "Fang with a round face, Shao with double ears, and Kang with healthy..."

"Fang Shaokang?! Uncle Fang?!" Zhao Le asked.

Although Zhao Le's voice was not too loud, but because the place next to the citrus orchard was too quiet, he could hear the voice on the other end of the phone, and of course Fang Shaokang heard Zhao Le's words.

Fang Shaokang is the third eldest in his family, and he has two older brothers. Anyone who can call him Uncle Fang must be an acquaintance.

"Who's there?" Fang Shaokang asked.

Associate Professor Jiao looked at Zhao Le and handed over the phone.

"Really Third Uncle Fang? I'm Lele, Zhao Le!"

Zhao Le talked about Zheng Tan on the other end, and then explained that the black cat was kind to him, and hoped that Fang Shaokang could help.

Fang Shaokang looked at the cat squatting beside him with its tail hooked and in the mood to tease the dog. He was very surprised. He didn't expect that a cat he met in this kind of mountainous countryside would still know old friends. This cat is very capable! That's right, as the old people in this village say, black cats are always a little bit evil.

Zheng Tan is in a very good mood now, and it feels like he hasn’t been in such a good mood for a long time. Ever since he was arrested, he has been terrified. Whenever he sees someone, he has to doubt for a long time. Every step he takes, he has to wonder if it will work. He also risked being caught to steal food. After all, he couldn't stand raw food. Generally speaking, this was a pretty hard experience.

but! This history of bitterness is coming to an end!

I am about to return to that familiar land, see those familiar people, have a warm bed at night, have a bath and have someone to help brush and blow hair, and have a prepared breakfast in the morning. Now that I think about it, I really miss it...

When Zhao Le and Fang Shaokang were discussing how to bring the cat back to Chuhua City, Papa Jiao gestured to Zhao Le and said softly, "Ren Chong!"

Zhao Le also quickly realized that even if he brought the cat back, if Ren Chong didn't get rid of it, things like catching the cat might happen again.

"what do you mean……"

"I am relieved to know that it is safe and sound. Since Mr. Fang is an acquaintance of Ms. Zhao and can be trusted, then there is no rush to get Heitan back. Please, Mr. Fang, take care of Heitan first, and we will settle the matter here Say it again."

Zhao Le nodded, and briefly explained the situation to Fang Shaokang, who also expressed his understanding.

"Okay, I will take the cat and walk there slowly, it will probably take ten days and a half months at the earliest..."

With a cat? Ten days and a half a month?

Does it mean that it will take ten and a half months at the earliest to return to Chuhua? ! Zheng Tan's boiling mood was poured with ice slag.

What the hell!

Even if you can't take the train, it won't take long to drive back. How could it take ten days and half a month?

Father Jiao told Zheng Tan to obediently follow Fang Shaokang on the phone, and Uncle Fang would take him to Chuhua City. At this stage, Chu Hua cannot send anyone to pick up Zheng Tan for the time being, as there are still things to deal with there.

Although Jiao's father didn't explain too much, Zheng Tan still analyzed the reason from a few words. Zheng Tan expressed his understanding of this, and it was for his own good. unruly people.

Fang Shaokang looked at the cat in front of him who was listening to the phone very earnestly. Even if Uncle Fang claimed to have seen the world and seen many strange things, he couldn't help being amazed. That cat father is also special, explaining so much to a cat. If it were someone from this village, they would probably be thinking about how to exorcise evil spirits under such circumstances.

After the phone call, Zheng Tan became much less wary of the other party, Shao Kang. Since he was someone Zhao Le and the others knew and had Zhao Le's guarantee, Zheng Tan didn't need to spend so much time on defense.

At this time, the young man from before also ran over after making a phone call at home, explaining that he would drive out tomorrow and bring the three puppies to that friend by the way.

Knowing the whereabouts of the three puppies, Zheng Tan was completely relieved. From the conversation he heard between Fang Shaokang and the young man, he knew that the person who was going to adopt the three puppies was not bad.

That night, Zheng Tan followed Fang Shaokang to the young man's house. Of course, Zheng Tan hid in his backpack. People in this village didn't like black cats, and they were afraid that the landlord would have some objections if he found out. As for the three pups, the young man put them in a cage and carried them back.

After eating and drinking enough, and having a sound sleep, Zheng Tan got up early in the morning and followed Fang Shaokang to board the young man's tricycle.

The puppies are in their crates, they had a good meal last night and this morning, and are now going to sleep.

The roads in the country are not easy to walk, there is a long stretch of unevenness, the bumpy driving conditions make Zheng Tan feel dizzy.

It takes more than three hours to drive. In fact, if the road is flat, it is estimated that it will not take an hour.

The young man and his friend raised sheep, and also raised some cattle, etc., and built a special place to raise poultry. The scale is quite large, so it's no wonder they want to raise dogs.

After looking at the three puppies, the friend was very satisfied. He had tidied up the kennel yesterday, and carried it over after seeing the three puppies.

Zheng Tan and Fang Shaokang had lunch here, and the young man would drive them to the county seat in the afternoon.

The road to the county seat is much better and less bumpy. Although the distance is twice as long, it takes about the same time.

Zheng Tan didn't bring the kitty's cat card with him. When he was in the village, he took it off and hid it for convenience. He didn't take it when he followed Fang Shaokang. Now he is really undocumented Unlicensed stray cat. But with Fang Shaokang standing beside him, Zheng Tan wasn't so overwhelmed.

However, the good mood didn't last long. After Fang Shaokang bought a bicycle, Zheng Tan became restless.

He felt that Fang Shaokang must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
