Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 1

[Chapter 1 The Wind Blows the Egg Shell]

Zheng Tan jumped up on the branch of a plane tree, squinted to see the sunlight leaking from the gaps between the leaves, poked his ears with his furry claws, found a comfortable position to lie down, and yawned.

On a September afternoon, the sun is just right for a nap.

Zheng Tan was a cat, but he used to be a real person. He didn’t understand what was going on. It was like this when he woke up.

A strange city, a strange house, a strange person, a strange and more hopeless new identity, an enlarged world, and a time back in time – 2003.

Zheng Tan didn’t like cats before, or even hated this kind of animal. He always felt that the cat species was a creature of the same level as neurosis, but now, he himself has become such an animal.

retribution?

Zheng Tan admits that his style is not very good, he has bullied the weak and the weak, has let go of a few not-so-big fires, and is idle and idle. Looking at the comments, there are more people than me who are assholes. Why is it that I am the one who is punished?

At a loss?

Are you at a loss?

Angry or not?

Desperate or not?

In the face of the incomparably clear reality, everything seems to be of no avail.

Regarding the once indulgent life, Zheng Tan can only comfort himself with the phrase “the wind blows the egg shell, and the wealth goes to the people’s happiness”.

Three months have passed, one quarter, one quarter of a year, the wheel of nature has turned 90 degrees, which calmed Zheng Tan’s ups and downs when he first arrived, from being uncomfortable to gradually becoming familiar.

Sometimes, it is also a rare state of mind to live without ambition.

This is Chuhua University, a century-old famous university ranked first in the ranking of universities in central China. The advantage of a century-old famous school is that the area is large enough and the greening is in place.

Occasionally there are students passing by on the road under the tree, and the atmosphere here is quiet but full of vigor.

Zheng Tan squinted for a while in this good atmosphere before being woken up by a dog barking.

He moved his ears, and without looking at Zheng Tan, he knew which two of them were making a fuss.

A hundred meters away from Zheng Tan, a brown Chihuahua was barking at a camphor tree, and a black and white cat was standing on the branch of the camphor tree. At this moment, the cat was hooking and shaking. Tail, yelping under the tree.

Just looking at the appearance, this situation is very common, and it is often encountered by pet owners.

However, the difference in the situation at this moment is that the dog and the cat are all barking “Wang Wang”.

The cat is named “Sheriff” and is now eight months old and slightly smaller than Zheng Tan. It is named because its coat color is very similar to that of the black cat Sheriff in the cartoon.

At the same time, this cat is also one of Zheng Tan’s lost friends after he became a cat.

This cat has two characteristics: one is aggressive, and it will kill you in a fight; the other is to learn to bark, full of dog nature.

The first time Zheng Tan saw the “sheriff”, the guy squatted on a landscape stone about one meter high and called to the Chihuahua.

When the “sheriff” noticed that Zheng Tan was looking at him, it slowly changed from “beep” to “meow”.

In fact, the sheriff’s “dog language” was not standardized at that time, and it felt a bit nondescript, but these days, this “dog language” has become more and more pure, and ordinary people can’t tell the true and false barking just by listening to the sound.

Moreover, when she is tired, she will stick her tongue out and pant like a dog, so Zheng Tan often wonders if the soul of a dog lives in this cat’s body?

Not paying any more attention, Zheng Tan yawned and continued to sleep on his stomach.

He didn’t worry about the safety of the “sheriff” at all. The “sheriff” and the Chihuahua had been fighting since childhood, and they were very experienced.

To ask why the “sheriff” is always having trouble with the Chihuahua, the reason is that the Chihuahua is the smallest among the pet dogs in the family compound in the East District.

Fish are eaten fresh, and persimmons are eaten softly. Even cats know this.

Zheng Tan slept until the bell rang for the third get out of class in the university teaching area before getting up.

I stretched out and slowly slid down from the tall plane tree.

Just trot along the sidewalk and walk through a peach grove to see a wall.

This is an affiliated primary school located within Chuhua University. Many children of faculty members and their family members go to school here, and parents can rest assured that it is convenient to pick up and drop off.

Zheng Tan jumped on the fence, looked at the two classrooms on the second and sixth floors, and walked along the fence to the school gate.

After Zheng Tan waited for seven or eight minutes on the fence about 20 meters away from the school gate, the school bell rang.

Not the sharp sound of Jingle Bell, but a cheerful and lively music, very human.

A little girl in a small floral dress walked out of the corridor with a hellokitty backpack on her back. As soon as she exited the stairs, she looked directly at Zheng Tan. Seeing Zheng Tan squatting on the fence, the little girl’s eyes suddenly lit up. Light up, run towards this side.

“Brother Yuan said that they have a quiz in the last class, and they may have to wait a little longer…”

Before the little girl could finish speaking, Zheng Tan saw a man rushing out of the stairs, dragging his schoolbag in the posture of dragging a sack, his hair tugging like a chicken coop, and rushing straight towards them with a smile on his face Deserted, he made a “V” victory gesture to Zheng Tan and the little girl. It seemed that the kid did a good job in the last class quiz.

The boy’s name is Jiao Yuan, a child of the family that adopted Zheng Tan now, and he is in sixth grade.

The little girl is Gu Youzi, Jiao Yuan’s cousin. After her parents divorced, she was picked up by Jiao’s mother from abroad for some reasons. She lives in Jiao’s house and is currently studying in the second grade of the primary school attached to Chu University.

Jiao Yuan took the schoolbag from Gu Youzi, and the two of them left the school gate and walked to the family compound in the East District.

“Look, Jiao Yuan’s cat has come to pick them up again!” someone said.

Many people I met on the road are used to this scene. It has been nearly three weeks since the school started, and it has become an interesting thing that people around me talk about after dinner.

The family compound is not far from the affiliated school, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk there.

The Jiao family lives on the fifth floor of Building B in the East District compound. There is an access control at the entrance of each building here. Jiao Yuan touched the keychain to the card swipe port, and the iron door opened with a bang.

There is a small round card on Jiao Yuan’s keychain, which is the “key” for access control. Almost everyone living in the family building has this. Zheng Tan also has one hanging around his neck, but this one is a bit special. The round card is affixed to the front. It is Zheng Tan’s current avatar, with the Jiao family’s home address and contact number on the back. The access card and pet card are two-in-one, which Jiao’s dad specially arranged.

When Zheng Tan entered the building, he looked at the balcony of a family on the first floor, but didn’t find the fat man. It was estimated that the fat man was taken to visit relatives again.

At this meal time, the door of Jiao’s house is always open. After all, it is the family building in the school. There are access control and cameras at the entrance of the building, and the safety factor is much greater than that of some apartment buildings outside.

Jiao’s mother was cooking, but there were conversations in the living room.

“Then, I will trouble Teacher Jiao about the advertisement!”

Zheng Tan paused as he entered the door.

This voice was familiar to him. It was the owner of a pet supplies store near Chuhua University. His surname was Guo. His brother was a veterinarian. Zheng Tan’s vaccine was the needle his brother gave him.

Last week, Zheng Tan also heard that Jiao’s mother said that Xiao Guo wanted Zheng Tan to help with the advertisement of canned cats. So, this is a special trip today to explain it for the advertisement?
