Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 198

[Chapter 187 The old man who pulled 2 Hu]

Ajin has recently entered a bottleneck period due to his creation, and his state is extremely poor. His teammates suggested that he go out for a walk, maybe he will have some inspiration, don’t be impatient, don’t have too much burden, and keep his passion for music.

Therefore, when there is no performance, Ah Jin walks around other parts of Chuhua City with his guitar on his back.

During this time, Ah Jin played in the underground passages and some squares, and slept in the park at night, as if he had returned to the time when he was a wandering singer, and his impatience gradually calmed down unconsciously.

Today, Ah Jin was going to go to the central square to sing. In fact, in many large squares in Chuhua City, there are some talented young people performing at night. In the past two days, Ah Jin has met a lot in the other two places. , there is also a great harvest when communicating.

It’s just that Ah Jin didn’t expect to meet Zheng Tan here.

For Zheng Tan, Ah Jin is grateful, but also has some reverence that he can’t even explain himself. Sometimes Ah Jin himself thinks it’s incredible that he is just a cat, but it can have such a big impact on him and the band. Without this black cat, where would you and your teammates go?

I can’t imagine, I almost gave up at that time.

Therefore, for this cat, Akin and his teammates have always been grateful, as can be seen from their black cat team logo.

And speaking of awe, perhaps, this is the only big name among the cats that Ah Jin has ever met. After all, this is the cat that Ye Hao, the big boss of Ye Hao, dares to slap his face directly.

Ah Jin didn’t know exactly where Zheng Tan lived. In fact, he didn’t even know Zheng Tan’s bottom line. He only knew that the cat was quite familiar with several “big men”.

Every time I go to the night building, I go with a few “big men”.

Therefore, when he first saw Zheng Tan, Ah Jin was not sure, but after taking a second look, he matched the black cat in front of him with the big cat.

Perhaps, no second cat dared to openly bully the blind old man in this kind of atmosphere.

“Black charcoal!” Ah Jin shouted, seeing Zheng Tan, Ah Jin was very happy.

This is the lucky star of their band.

Zheng Tan just pulled out one of the old man’s long beards.

I only saw the old man twitching on his face.

There was no other reaction, so he was going to pull out two more to see how long the old man could endure, but he didn’t expect to hear someone calling his name suddenly.

idiot!

What’s the name for?

!

Zheng Tan cursed in his heart.

when doing bad things.

The most taboo is to expose your true information.

It was the first time Zheng Tan came to this place.

Others don’t know Zheng Tan either. They walk for a walk and then flick their tails away. Who can find who?

But now Akin just called out his name.

Zheng Tan hesitated.

Do you want to pretend to be wrong?

Just thinking about it,

Zheng Tan looked up at the old man sitting there, only to find that the old man had opened his eyes, his eyeballs were turbid gray and white, and looking at the place where Zheng Tan was, Zheng Tan reflexively jumped back in fright.

It’s not that Zheng Tan is timid, it’s just because it’s too sudden, the old man didn’t open his eyes after tossing for so long just now, but now he suddenly does.

However, he is really blind…

The old man not only opened his eyes, he also moved.

As soon as the old man moved, Ah Jin hurried over, for fear that the old man would hit Zheng Tan with his guide stick.

The other people who set up stalls around also thought about how the old man would deal with the cat. Usually, although the old man didn’t talk much, he didn’t communicate with people, and he didn’t have any disputes with anyone, but that was because everyone didn’t bother him. The current situation is that this cat is too mortal.

Even Zheng Tan thought that the old man would teach him a lesson, and the cat still had a beard on its paws.

So be prepared to slip away.

Unexpectedly, the old man moved, adjusted his sitting posture, and started to pull up with the erhu.

Zheng Tan had seen the old woman pulling the erhu from Jiao’s hometown, and now listening to the old man pulling the erhu, he felt that he was not inferior to that old woman, not to mention that the old man is still blind, which is very rare.

At the same time, Zheng Tan had to admit that this old man had such a good temper, he was pulling his beard by himself, and he was still in the mood to pull the erhu.

Although Ah Jin didn’t know much about the erhu, he was very sensitive to the sound of music. Ah Jin felt that the old man didn’t seem angry, but sounded like he should be in a good mood.

There are many people who play the erhu, and most of the tunes have a bit of a cold feeling, but now the erhu tune played by this old man makes people feel the warmth of the sunset.

Unconsciously, the tension just now relaxed a lot.

Ah Jin used the erhu tune to judge the old man’s mood, while Zheng Tan used his intuition to feel whether the old man was malicious. Since the old man was not going to pursue it, Zheng Tan couldn’t continue to bully blind people, not to mention that Ah Jin was here. Looking for more trouble, it is estimated that more information will be inadvertently revealed by the idiot Ajin.

Since he didn’t intend to continue bullying the old man, Zheng Tan simply squatted beside him and listened to the old man pulling the erhu. Ajin was not ready to leave immediately, and stood beside Zheng Tan leaning against the railing and listened to the old man pulling the erhu.

Ah Jin could see that the old man was a master at pulling the erhu, no worse than those teachers in the music college, and listening to it for a while would be good for his own creation.

Another point, Ah Jin had listened to a lot of erhu music, but the old man had never heard of the music played by the old man, but he was too embarrassed to interrupt the inquiry, so he quietly stood beside him and enjoyed it.

The people who set up stalls around have long been used to the old man pulling erhu, and they started busy with their stalls again when they saw that it was not lively. To them, cats were not attractive for money.

When it comes to money, Zheng Tan now understands why this old man has so much money in his wooden box. He is good at erhu, and passers-by are willing to listen to it, and he likes to listen to it. In addition to his compassion and sympathy for the old man, he will give some money.

Although most of them are small change, they are better than others, and they can make a lot of money in one day. For an old man, the living expenses are more than enough, and there is more money to enjoy other fun.

In fact, there are more people giving money than usual today, and part of it is because of Zheng Tan, the cat, which is why some entertainers like to bring children or animals.

It wasn’t until the sky was almost over that Zheng Tan got up and prepared to go back to pick up the little grapefruit.

“Huh? Hei Tan, are you ready to go?” Ah Jin was immersed in the tune of the erhu. When the sound of the erhu stopped, he realized that the black cat who was squatting beside him had already walked to the side and was about to get off the overpass.

Get the guitar on your back.

Ah Jin is going to follow Zheng Tan all the way. Anyway, he has no absolute destination right now. Moreover, he is very curious about Zheng Tan’s address. Where does this cat live?

Where do you live?

Why come here alone?

Zheng Tan knew that Ah Jin was behind him, but he ignored it.

When passing a food stall, Ah Jin stopped Zheng Tan, “Hei Tan, please eat chicken fillets.” Ah Jin remembered that this cat seemed to have a wide range of recipes.

This is also a thank you.

It is rare to see Zheng Tan alone.

When Ah Jin met Zheng Tan before, Zheng Tan stayed with Wei Ling and Ye Hao, but Ah Jin didn’t have the guts to interject.

Speaking of meat, Zheng Tan is indeed a little hungry now.

Not in a hurry anyway.

There’s still half an hour before Xiaoyuzi gets out of school.

It’s too late to go back after a meal.

Seeing Zheng Tan stop, Ah Jin knew that the cat should agree, so he happily walked to the stall.

“Two…” The

words didn’t speak.

Akin froze.

He took out his pocket, patted his trouser pocket, and looked at Zheng Tan with a frustrated face after taking it out for a long time.

“Hei Tan, have you seen my wallet and mobile phone?”

Zheng Tan: “…” Stupid!

I don’t even know that my phone and wallet were stolen!

On the other side, on the overpass, after Zheng Tan and A Jin left, the old man stopped playing the erhu, just sat there quietly, closed his eyes, and returned to his previous state. It was not until the sun went down that the old man folded the low stool. , put it in the wooden box with the money, the wooden box is not big, but just enough to accommodate the folded low stool.

The old man untied the big black umbrella tied to the railing, and packed everything in a leisurely manner. Every movement was slow, but smooth.

The people around are not surprised, if anyone repeats the same thing every day, day after day, they can do the same.

For a blind man, it doesn’t really make a difference between day and night, but the old man is very regular every day, appearing with the morning sun and disappearing with the evening sunset, and his position on the overpass is always stuck. Change, no vendor who came to the Tianqiao to set up a stall would grab his seat, and even a space would be vacated around him. When there were the most vendors, even if other places were crowded, the place where the old man was would be vacant.

If there are new vendors, they will be told by other vendors not to take a seat there.

Moreover, after the old man left, the merchants on the overpass would pack up their things as soon as possible even if their business was good, and they had to change places to continue their business.

If they came to the overpass one day and did not see the old man, they would not set up a stall here, but would choose other places to sell it until the old man appeared on the overpass again.

This is a rule that these small traders on the overpass have been figuring out for a long time. When the blind old man was there, no one came to the overpass to drive away the fine. This is why everyone has a special attitude towards this blind old man. one.

As for another reason… these small traders have only heard about them, and have not seen them with their own eyes, so it is hard to draw conclusions.

In any case, they would never offend the blind old man, and sometimes those who sold fruit or other food would give it to the blind old man, and when they gave it, it was not like a charity, but rather cautious.

The old man was walking on the sidewalk in a hurry with a guide stick for the blind. His turbid black and white eyes were not opened. If they were opened, it would probably scare some people.

The sky was getting dark soon, the neon lights were flashing, and the people who were about to start the night life laughed and walked past the old man, looking at the old man with sympathy and contempt. This was not aimed at the old man, but at blind people like the old man.

Suddenly, a man rushed over from behind, grabbed the wooden box in the old man’s hand, and ran away.

This man walked across the overpass in the evening and saw the money in the old wooden box. There were too many people at that time, and he didn’t care. He also had more “fat” prey.

Now I see it, if you don’t rob it for nothing, there are hundreds of dollars in it.

There were people around the old man who saw this situation, and most of them didn’t want to meddle in their own business. There were enthusiastic young people who wanted to, but in the blink of an eye, the person who grabbed the box disappeared from the crowd.

They can only sympathize with the blind old man.

Unlike the people around him, the old man’s face was very calm. He didn’t show anger and sadness because the box was robbed. He just paused when the box was robbed, and then continued to walk forward, as if he didn’t hear what the people around him were talking about. Voice.

After walking for a while, I turned into a narrow and long alley with no lights. The hustle and bustle of the city at night seemed to suddenly retreat, and the bustling street outside the alley seemed to be two worlds.

old man was still walking forward unhurriedly. Not far in front, there was a man sitting next to him. After seeing the old man, the man immediately got up and rushed over, and knelt down in front of the old man.

This man was the one who robbed the old man’s wooden box before. At this moment, he looked very embarrassed. He was beaten until his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

After kneeling in front of the old man, he lifted the old man’s wooden box with both hands, shaking like a sieve, and his words trembled violently.

“Little little… little… newcomer… yes… eyesight…” The

old man did not stop because of the person in front of him, his face was still flat, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand After picking up the box, he continued to walk forward, leaving the person kneeling on the ground who had not finished speaking and continued to tremble alone.

At this point, after dinner, Zheng Tan, who was ordered not to go out at night, was lying on the sofa watching soap operas with Jiao’s mother, wondering if he should go to the overpass tomorrow and pull two of the blind old man’s beard to test it out. The old man’s endurance limit?

(To be continued..)
