Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 153

[Chapter 142 When the black cat scratches the door]

After drinking a small glass of milk, Zheng Tan also felt a lot warmer.

Shaking his hair, he stretched his waist and looked out of the balcony.

The rain has stopped, replaced by pieces of white snow, and it looks like the ground will soon turn white.

Seeing that the glass was empty, the man squatted down to pick it up and walked into the house.

After taking two steps, he turned his head and said to the black cat in the corner, “Come in, it’s cold outside.”

Zheng Tan hesitated, should he go in to avoid the wind?

The wind outside seemed to be blowing more violently…

Zheng Tan didn’t respond for a while.

Seeing this, the man thought that the cat in front of him didn’t understand, and he stood at the door and beckoned, pointing to the cup that had been filled with milk, perhaps realizing that his actions were ineffective, the man entered the room, but led to the balcony The door is not closed.

Most places in Chuhua City have no heating, and people are used to using air conditioners and some other heating equipment.

The air conditioner in the room was on, Zheng Tan walked to the door and could clearly feel the warm air coming out of the room.

Compared to the outside, the house was too warm, Zheng Tan looked at the snowy sky outside, but still lifted his feet and walked into the house.

Inside, the man had taken off his coat, stood in front of the microwave, and continued to warm a glass of milk.

When the milk was warm and ready to go to the balcony, he found that the black cat squatting on the balcony had already entered the room and was looking curiously at the furnishings in the room.

After Zheng Tan glanced around the room, he felt that this person should be a literate person. There was a bookshelf in the room. Most of the books on the bookshelf were in English, and they covered a wide range of topics, from literature, history, geography, to industry, agriculture and medicine.

There should be no threat to such a person.

The man put the warm milk in front of Zheng Tan.

This time, instead of staring at Zheng Tan drinking milk, he walked to the table next to him and sat down, turned on the computer, found the files, and started working.

Zheng Tan watched the man while drinking milk.

Although he couldn’t see clearly what was on the desk from his point of view, Zheng Tan also saw that the man should be a translator, helping him translate some books and articles, etc.

As for whether this translation is his main business or a side business, Zheng Tan doesn’t know.

There are three rooms in the house, only one is open.

This is where Zheng Tan stayed.

The doors of the other two rooms were closed, and it was unknown if anyone lived there.

There was a drawing board more than one meter long in the room. There were many small notes and notes on the drawing board. Zheng Tan couldn’t understand one of the things written on it.

Is that an English cursive script?

But English cursive script is not so cursive, right?

It doesn’t matter if it’s English or not.

Is it cursive in English.

Can’t understand anyway.

The door to the balcony was left open.

A gust of cold wind blew in, and Zheng Tan shivered again.

The man also felt the cold wind blowing in from outside, got up and closed the door.

When closing the door, he also glanced at Zheng Tan, as if to determine whether the cat would lose his temper after closing the door.

Zheng Tan didn’t lose his temper, but jumped onto the desk.

The desk is next to the window, and in front of the window there is an open book with some bookmarks in it, and many notes on the pages.

Zheng Tan didn’t squat on it, this is the book that the owner needs to use.

Since he couldn’t squat in front of the window and look directly, Zheng Tan squatted beside the thick book, leaning his neck and looking out the window.

Just waiting for the snow to stop and then go home. You can’t stay out like this all the time. If you can’t go back in time for dinner, Jiao’s mother will have to nagging again.

There was a scent of wax plum blossoms in the room, and the man’s teacup was also made of wax plums. I wonder if the wax plums used to make tea were picked from the wax plum trees in the community.

After translating the planned task, the man moved his arms, twisted his neck, and looked towards Zheng Tan. After seeing the black cat with his neck crooked and his eyes looking out the window without blinking, he smiled and took it out from the drawer. With paper and pen, I drew a simple picture. From this picture, it can be seen that this person must have learned sketching, and his painting skills are good.

After the painting was finished, the man gave Zheng Tan a look. Zheng Tan was not interested, and after glancing at the painting, he continued to stare out the window.

He counted the time, and it would be the time for Xiaoyouzi to finish school in an hour. He could stay here for half an hour at most. After half an hour, no matter whether it was snowing outside or not, he had to leave.

Fortunately, half an hour later, the snow was much smaller, and although it was still drifting, it was not as violent as before, so it will be over.

Zheng Tan moved his neck, stretched his waist, and kept his neck crooked for too long, causing some pain.

After jumping off the desk, Zheng Tan stood in front of the door, raised his paw and patted the door, then looked at the man.

The man paid attention when Zheng Tan jumped off the desk. Seeing Zheng Tan like this, he smiled slightly, “Want to leave?”

After saying that, the man opened the door and let Zheng Tan go out.

Zheng Tan could also open the door himself, but in front of someone he had only met once, Zheng Tan didn’t want to be too special.

Moreover, Zheng Tan felt that the person should like to laugh, but he always felt that the smile of that person was a little unhappy, and he couldn’t tell why, it was just intuition.

He opened the door to Zheng Tan, the man watched Zheng Tan squeeze out of the balcony security net, and when he jumped to the ground, he saw a footprint on a shallow layer of the ground.

After seeing the black cat walking away, he walked into the house and closed the door.

After leaving the community, Zheng Tan ran in the direction of Chuhua University. The snow on the ground was a little cold, and the people around didn’t care about the black cat running on the sidewalk. They focused on the snow that had already accumulated in a thin layer.

When Zheng Tan was passing by an intersection, he stopped because of the large number of vehicles, and just happened to notice two police cars driving towards the street where he came.

But he didn’t have time to be curious. When he could cross the road, he hurriedly walked across the road with other pedestrians.

As soon as Zheng Tan arrived at the entrance of the attached small school, the school bell rang.

Fortunately, no delay.

At this time, the snow began to fall again.

During this time, whether it was Xiaoyouzi or Jiao Yuan, because Jiao’s father was about to go abroad, his emotions were not too high, and he was not too excited about the snow.

The other children who came out of the attached primary school were very excited to see the thin layer of white on the ground. However, there were too many people and the snow was thin. When one stepped on it, they could not see the white, only the ones on the ground. Snow water mixed with sand and sand.

It snowed for two days, the weather cleared, and the snow soon began to melt.

The weather forecast said that there will be no rain or snow in the next few days, and the temperature will gradually rise.

Zheng Tan ran out for a walk when the snow had almost melted.

Still walking along the road of Jiao Yuan School, Zheng Tan is now learning about the road there.

Just like the day it snowed, from Jiaoyuan School, to Zhong Yan’s community, and then to the construction site to take a look, and then walk further afield to get familiar with the area.

Before I knew it, I came to the elevator room again.

When Zheng Tan walked into the community, there happened to be a few aunts who came back with the daily necessities bought from the supermarket, and he heard them say,

“Hey, did the case come to a conclusion?”

“It doesn’t seem to be, I haven’t heard of any progress. ”

Hey, don’t you mean suicide by throwing yourself into the river? Isn’t it suicide?”

“How can it be, it’s such a cold day, and I heard from a nephew who works nearby that he didn’t have any clothes on when he was found. Even if you want to commit suicide, you won’t do it this way.”

At this time, another aunt walked in from outside the community, and she should know these people. When she saw the people here, she took two steps and asked, “Tell me. What?”

“What else is there, on the day it snowed, about the other side of the lake.”

Listening

to their conversation, Zheng Tan remembered what he saw at the crossroads when he was rushing back on the snowy day. The two police cars should have something to do with what these aunties said.

However, Zheng Tan felt that those things were too far away from him and had nothing to do with them. There are such cases in this world every day, so why bother so much, and besides, he doesn’t gossip like those aunts who have nothing to do. Fun time.

Zheng Tan decided to go to the house of the person who drank wax plum tea first, maybe he could drink it with a glass of warm milk.

When he came downstairs last time, he looked up and saw that Zheng Tan could see that the light was on at the man’s house. At this time, the man should be busy with work, right?

Jumping on top of the parking space, Zheng Tan squeezed into the balcony and saw a different place on the balcony than when he first came a few days ago.

The cardboard box was still there, but in the corner, there was a relatively clean cushion, and beside the cushion there was a paper cup with cold milk in it.

The cushions and milk were not there when I came last time. Zheng Tan sniffed the milk in the paper cup. There was no strange smell. The weather probably wouldn’t produce a strange smell. a few days.

Looking at this decoration, people who don’t know it will definitely think that the owner has a pet.

Zheng Tan was not in a hurry to scratch the door. He first sniffed around the balcony to see if there was any scent from other animals, and prepared himself in advance.

If there is, consider whether to scratch the door, especially if the other party has a dog, it is better not to make trouble.

Many people think that a dog’s nose is much more sensitive than a cat’s nose, or why are there so many police dogs and no police cats?

Others believe that a cat’s nose can be compared to a dog’s nose, but because of the cat’s personality, it is not easy to train, and it is not willing to be manipulated by others. Many functions in its body are only used when it is beneficial to itself. Give full play, and disdain many instructions of people. Because of this, people can only use the olfactory function of dogs and do nothing to cats.

Zheng Tan doesn’t know whether a dog’s nose is sensitive or a cat’s nose is sensitive, at least he thinks his sense of smell is pretty good now, at least much more sensitive than a human’s.

After sniffing around carefully, Zheng Tan was sure that, like last time, apart from the smell of the owner, there was only the smell left when he was squatting in the corner and rubbing the cardboard box.

Not even the smell of a girl, that person is really homey enough.

Zheng Tan walked to the door of the room, raised his paw and patted the door, thinking whether to scratch it twice, when he heard footsteps approaching inside, and the next moment, the door also opened.

Seeing the black cat at the door, a smile flashed in the man’s eyes that had no emotions, “Here it is.” (To be continued.)
