Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 154

[Chapter 143 Left-handed?]

When Zheng Tan came, the man was working, with a few books spread out on the desk, basically the same as last time.

After placing a glass of warm milk in front of Zheng Tan, the man sat down at the desk again and started to work.

Zheng Tan looked at the paper cup with milk in front of him. It was freshly taken out of the packaging bag. Just a normal looking cat now.

After drinking the milk, Zheng Tan didn’t bother the man and walked around the room.

Compared with the last time, there was an extra painting on the bookcase in the room. It was a pencil drawing, but there was no color. The painting was of a few children, surrounded by plum blossoms. There was a date in the lower right corner of the painting, which was from the day before yesterday.

Zheng Tan was watching when the doorbell rang.

A boy about the same age as Jiao Yuan came, holding a carton with small cakes in his hand, and the carton was full of plum blossoms.

“Uncle Lamei, here, these are picked from the branches that the little devils broke today.” The kid didn’t seem to pay attention to his own age when he said “little devil”.

Uncle Lamei?

This title made Zheng Tan curious, is it because this man likes to drink wax plum tea?

Or is this guy named Lamei?

It’s too much for a man to be called Lamei.

The boy took the bag of lollipops that Uncle Lamei handed over as a reward, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, thanked him and left.

The “Uncle Lamei” that the little boy called took the box containing the Lamei flowers into the room and put it aside, seeing Zheng Tan staring at the box all the time.

Then he smiled and said: “Many children in the community like to climb and break branches, especially the winter plum blossoms that are still blooming. I told them that if they accidentally break the branches, they will pluck off the sweet plum blossoms and give them to me.”

Zheng sighed. Of course, it’s no wonder that there are so many sweet plum blossoms in this Uncle Lamei’s room. It is estimated that the children deliberately folded some to exchange for lollipops. This man should also understand it in his heart, but he didn’t break it.

“I drew that picture when they came over the day before yesterday.” Uncle Lamei pointed to the pencil drawing Zheng Tan had just seen and said.

Zheng Tan is actually even more strange.

Although this uncle Lamei seems to be very gentle towards people.

It is also relatively close to children, but every time I talk to people less, but I can talk so much to a cat.

Yet another strange person.

Sure enough, pet cats and dogs and other animals always make people relax their mental alertness.

talking room.

The uncle Lamei took the paper and pen again.

Watching Zheng Tan start to draw.

The method is very skilled.

Zheng Tan watched the rapid prototyping of the painting outlined by the black lines on the white paper.

However, Zheng Tan suddenly noticed…

this guy was drawing with his left hand!

!

left handed?

If Zheng Tan remembers correctly, this Uncle Lamei used his right hand to write before!

The last time Zheng Tan was squatting on the desk, he saw Uncle Lamei writing.

At that time, Zheng Tan was still thinking about being able to write those small notes and sticky notes that were pasted on the drawing board in “English cursive script” like ghosts and symbols. How would you normally write?

As a result, the words written were quite normal, and Zheng Tan didn’t pay much attention to it after that.

Now, considering the situation at the moment, this guy may be a left-handed, but not necessarily a pure left-handed.

Among the people Zheng Tan knows, this is the first person who can use his left hand as well as his right hand, and he doesn’t feel awkward when he moves his hand.

The room was very warm because the air conditioner was on. Zheng Tan felt a little sleepy as he squatted there, and squinted for a while.

After ten minutes, a simple pencil drawing was completed.

Zheng Tan yawned, stretched, and looked over.

The painting depicts a black cat, squatting beside the cake box containing the sweet plum blossoms, tilting his head slightly, his eyes seem to have some doubts.

Uncle Lamei stared at the painting in his hand for a while, then looked at Zheng Tan, “I heard that many animals have spirituality, are you one of them?”

Zheng Tan didn’t answer, and couldn’t answer.

Uncle Lamei didn’t even want to find out the answer from a cat’s mouth. He just asked with a strong sense of weirdness after seeing the cat’s eyes. After asking the question, he thought that there was just a cat in front of him. It’s just that, I can’t speak, so I just smiled.

Zheng Tan was a little baffled, and there are indeed many neuropathy that asks and answers to a cat.

Putting the painting in his hand and the painting of the child into a folder, Uncle Lamei walked out of the room.

When Zheng Tan came last time, there were two rooms in the house that were closed, and Uncle Lamei opened one of the rooms this time.

Zheng Tan walked over and took a look. The room was not big, and it should have been specially decorated for sound insulation. The layout inside was very simple, and the most obvious thing was the upright piano inside.

I didn’t expect this guy to be a musician.

Zheng Tan jumped on a stool next to him, and since he was going to play a song, he didn’t mind making a cameo in the audience.

After listening to the beginning, Zheng Tan knew the name of the tune played by Uncle Lamei.

“Dedicated to Alice”, although Zheng Tan doesn’t listen to those so-called world famous songs very much, he still knows this song, it is too famous, many children like to play this song.

It’s just…

Zheng Tan doesn’t know much about the piano, he only knows that the version he plays is different from the version he’s heard before, it’s a bit slower, but it’s far different from the slow-playing techniques used to teach children, and there’s something about it. Some other factor.

The melody of the piano song “Dedicated to Alice” that Zheng Tan listened to before is more fresh, the rhythm is brisk and comfortable. Some people say that the piano song makes people feel relaxed and happy.

But now, Zheng Tan didn’t feel the slightest lighthearted, but felt a little inexplicable depression, and even had a chill down his spine.

Could it be the version played by the guy in front of him is wrong?

After playing the song, Uncle Lamei sat there without moving, as if thinking about something.

Zheng Tan craned his neck and looked at it.

What the hell!

Playing a song dedicated to Alice can also bring tears to your eyes?

Zheng Tan said that he could not understand.

Feeling that the atmosphere was not quite right, Zheng Tan decided to go home.

When he returned to Chuhua University, the attached primary school had not yet finished school, and Zheng Tan was not in a hurry, so he walked around the university building for a walk.

I happened to hear that there was a debate competition in the amphitheater on the first floor. It was quite lively and the topic was interesting, so Zheng Tan climbed up a tree next to the amphitheatre and squatted on the tree to listen.

Are freshmen in medical school and they are debating whether lefties are geniuses or underdogs.

“The left and right hemispheres of the human brain have their own divisions of labor. The left hemisphere of the brain is mainly responsible for reasoning, logic and language, while the right hemisphere of the brain focuses on the feeling of geometric shapes, emotions, imagination and spatial distance. It has the function of directly judging visual signals… …” The

pros argue that lefties are stronger.

There are many left-handed people in life who are intelligent and quick-witted people, especially in some occupations that require imagination and spatial distance, left-handed people are often among the best talents, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach.

Caesar and Napoleon in the political and military fields.

Einstein, Newton and others in the field of science.

besides.

They also used the example of “seeing things” to illustrate, comparing the neural response route of “right hemisphere of the brain-left hemisphere of the brain-right hand” of right-handed people with the neural response route of “right hemisphere of the brain-left hand” of left-handers.

Left-handers are considered to have an advantage over right-handers in motor agility.

The opposing side argues that left-handers are weak in life, otherwise they would not be a minority in the huge human group. As for the distinction between left-handed people and historical celebrities, there is still controversy and not enough convincing.

At the same time, the negative debate also cited a new hypothesis proposed by Swiss scientist Dr. Irving.

“Irwin believes that in ancient times, the probability of human ancestors using their left and right hands was the same as that of other animals, but because they did not know the surrounding plants, they accidentally ate the poisonous parts of them. The tolerance of the right-handed people is weak in nature, and eventually it is difficult to continue to survive due to the severe effects of plant toxins on the central nervous system

; Some scientists abroad have also used experiments to prove that many left-handed people have poor autoimmune systems, and even among autistic patients, 65% are left-handed…”

Zheng Tan squatted on the tree and watched the students argue His face was red and his ears were red, and it was a little funny. If it went on like this, it was probably the same as a quarrel on the street.

After all, they are only freshmen. Most of them have never participated in a formal debate competition before. The debate started with a little bit of rules, but after the debate, it got a little chaotic, but the teacher on the podium did not stop it. , but with a smile. The reason why she held this classroom debate was to stimulate the interest of the students. Outside of the interest, the rules became secondary. After all, it was not a formal debate.

Finally, the teacher on the podium gave everyone a summary: “In the biological world, only humans and apes are left-handed, and only humans can discuss which one is better. In fact, so far, there have been Many people have studied the differences between left-handed and right-handed people in intelligence, immunity, lifespan, and even the prevalence of mental illness, but the results are still inexorable…” The

teacher’s last sentence is the whole Summary of the debate.

Zheng Tan has always felt that a debate is a quarrel that is elegant and sharp, and the topics of quarrel are so far without an absolute answer.

What a pain in the ass.

While despising those students, Zheng Tan looked down at his two front claws, raised his claws and bent them, suddenly Zheng Tan was a little frustrated.

As the teacher said, in addition to humans and apes, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com Other animals don’t seem to be left-handed, including Zheng Tan himself today.

Back then when I was a human, I was used to using my right hand, but now…it doesn’t seem to be much different!

If it wasn’t for listening to these students debate today, Zheng Tan would not have noticed this change of his own.

After thinking about his own changes, Zheng Tan thought of seeing Uncle Lamei painting today.

Is that guy left-handed?

Well, next time you go there for a walk, pay more attention.

Originally, Zheng Tan was going to hang out at Uncle Lamei on Saturday, but Wei Ling came to find Zheng Tan and took him to the night building to play.

I heard that Ye Hao had a birthday a few days ago, but there were a lot of things at hand, and Ye Hao himself didn’t care about this kind of birthday, so he didn’t celebrate it much.

Since the start of several engineering projects, Ye Hao, Long Qi, Leopard and the others have gone to the night building much less often. Saturday just gave everyone an excuse to go to the night building to relax.
