Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 200

[Chapter 189 Cat’s Fantasy]

I feel that it is not easy for Ah Jin to find inspiration outside with a guitar on his back. When Zheng Tan met Ah Jin on campus again, he took Ah Jin to the arched doorway formed by bamboo. There were already people sitting and playing guitar.

Zheng Tan took a look. The man was slightly fat, with an eggplant printed on his t-shirt, and his face looked tender. It was estimated that he was a freshman.

Seeing Ah Jin with a guitar on his back, the man greeted Ah Jin to communicate with him.

When his eyes fell on Zheng Tan, the man’s face froze, but he didn’t say anything.

Zheng Tan, who was about to walk away, thought for a while, then walked to the side and jumped on a tree to listen to the two of them chatting.

This person’s name is Zhang Qi, and he is known as Eggplant. He is a freshman. He belongs to the School Guitar Association. Since the Guitar Association will have an on-campus performance in May and October every year, not everyone has the opportunity to take the stage. Zhang Qie intends to practice more and strive for the opportunity to show off on the stage.

However, compared to Ah Jin, Zhang Qi is still a little more tender in terms of guitar playing skills.

“It’s not bad, buddy!” Zhang Qie praised, it’s a pity to hear that Ah Jin is not from the school, otherwise he can be pulled to join the association.

He also heard that Ah Jin played in the square and the underground passage, and said with admiration: “Every time I saw those street performers playing guitar, I couldn’t help but want to stay with others, my classmates still Shame on me. Speaking of which, most of those people played pretty well, and the sound in the underground passage was exceptionally good.”

After sighing, Zhang Qi talked about his guitar history.

“I couldn’t hold down the strings at first, but it got better after I started cocooning. The process was still a little painful, but man, don’t be afraid of pain!! Be tough on yourself! You can’t practice guitar like this!” Zhang Qi raised his hand Show off the cocoon that he finally practiced.

Zheng Tan glanced over there, this little fat man is really easy to satisfy.

After staying for a while, Zhang Qie and Ah Jin exchanged mobile phone numbers, and asked Ah Jin to come to Chuhua University next week when he had time, and take Ah Jin to see the performance of their Guitar Association.

After taking Ah Jin around the campus, Zheng Tan ignored him and went out to have fun by himself.

three days later.

When Zheng Tan thought that Ah Jin had left Chu Hua University.

saw him again.

That day, Zheng Tan didn’t leave the school for a walk, because the sheriff and Ah Huang were rarely let out of the house, and Big Fat was kicked out by his old lady to let him exercise more.

So, the four cats stopped and walked to the old tile-roofed area.

Zheng Tan thought he could find a clean place shaded by leaves to lie on the roof and take a nap.

I didn’t expect to hear the sound of an electric guitar over there.

The sheriff moved his ears.

Kind of want to turn around and leave.

It was just that Zheng Tan was still walking over there, and the other two didn’t leave, so he followed.

Zheng Tan was curious when there was a noisy element here.

Want to find out.

There was a tiled house where the sundries were put out, and there were more than ten students in it. The sound came from this tiled house.

The other three stopped not far away, only Zheng Tan approached, jumped on the windowsill, and looked inside.

The window was open, Zheng Tan was standing near a large table, there was a pot of flowers on the table, just to block Zheng Tan, the people inside didn’t notice him, and they didn’t even bother to pay attention, they all stared at the room The two in the middle.

There was still a guitar on the table by the windowsill, and there was no one in front of the table, so Zheng Tan could see the situation in the room.

In the middle of the room stood two young men, one of them was Akin.

The other was wearing a black vest and had dyed yellow hair, which was a little long and tied in a small braid.

The two were playing the electric guitar, Zheng Tan didn’t know how they felt when they were playing, but seeing the two people sweating profusely, it probably wasn’t very easy.

The people around, including the Zhang Qie that Zheng Tan had met, looked like they had been beaten with blood, their faces flushed with excitement, and they seemed to be trying their best to endure something, and some people gestured unconsciously in their hands.

When the two finally stopped, the people standing on the side coaxed and started talking, and some of them screamed.

Sure enough, laymen can only watch the excitement. Although Zheng Tan thinks that these two are very good at playing the guitar, they are not as excited as the others. However, when they play, their fingers are really fast.

“President, is it just him?!” said a tall girl with a ponytail.

I just nodded to the man in the vest with the pigtails on Ajin’s piano, said a few words to Ajin, answered the phone, and asked Ajin and Zhang Qie and the other two to stay here to help take care of things. , they are leaving for a while.

The original training place of the Guitar Association is now uniformly renovated in the school, so they have to temporarily move the place and apply to the school for a house in the old tiled house area as a temporary gathering place, and then move back after the renovation there. .

After listening to the discussion of the four people who stayed in the room, Zheng Tan realized that it was about the performance of the school guitar association next week. They were going to open the opening song with Canon playing two guitars. Unfortunately, the guitarist who originally cooperated with the president of the association injured his finger. Now, I had to change people, but there was no one in the association that satisfied everyone, so I settled for the next best thing and was going to find foreign aid, so Zhang Qie contacted Ah Jin.

Seven foreign aids from other school guitar associations and Ajin were selected, and after playing the piano just now, the decision-makers of the association finalized Ajin.

Zhang Qi was very happy to hear that Ah Jin was selected. In contrast, Ah Jin was much calmer. After listening to a few other people playing, he knew that there would be such a result. The people who can stay in the night tower and perform are basically the same. As a professional player, and his skills are impatient, he is better than most people in the school.

In fact, when he chose to come and try, Ah Jin didn’t immediately agree to it at first. After all, once he decided, he would often come to train and cooperate before the performance. In addition, there were also several important performances on the night floor, so the time was very tight.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to come here. Now, he has no regrets about agreeing to come here.

After stepping into this complex society and jumping into this big dye vat, it is difficult to be alone. Especially in these days of working in a night building, Ah Jin understands the difficulty even more, and has seen some of the filth behind the glamorous in the circle.

But after getting used to it, he found that the pure enthusiasm was missing, and here, he found the lost purity.

The four people in the room were still talking about guitar-related things with great interest, such as metal 5 chords, high 8-bit decomposition, etc. Zheng Tan couldn’t understand it, and Zheng Tan didn’t even watch the violin clip after “Cross Street” mentioned by Zhang Qi. , Therefore, Zheng Tan is really not interested in the content of these people’s conversations.

Just as he was about to go up and down the windowsill to find another place to sleep, Zheng Tan found that the sheriff and Ah Huang were both approaching.

It is estimated that it is because no one is playing the guitar now that they are bold enough to approach.

Jumped on the windowsill and looked inside the house curiously.

Big Fat looked at the three cats on the windowsill, yawned lazily, then walked over slowly and jumped onto the windowsill.

Four cats squatted side by side on the windowsill.

The people inside immediately noticed it.

The one who responded the most was Zhang Qi.

The guy’s first reaction when he saw the four cats was to immediately take the water glass he had placed on the table into his arms.

The three people, including Ah Jin, were surprised by Zhang Qie’s behavior.

“Why is this reaction. Eggplant?” one person asked.

Zhang Qie pouted towards the four cats on the windowsill, “The painful experience of military training!”

The two of them said “Oh-“, seeing that Ah Jin was still confused.

Then he told the interesting incident during the military training.

The phalanx where Zhang Qie was in the military training was not far from Jiao Wei and the others. Zhang Qie was also one of the victims of the incident of the sheriff and Ah Huang pushing the water cup.

Zhang Qie’s favorite kettle was pushed down the steps by Ah Huang, and a large piece of paint fell off, causing Zhang Qie to lose two pounds in distress.

While the two were talking, the sheriff, who had been locked up for so long, was full of energy and even worse, stepped onto the large table from the windowsill to the guitar that was sitting there.

The three people in the room looked at Ajin, the guitar belonged to Ajin.

When I came to this tile house, I played it, and then I played the electric guitar, so I put the guitar here temporarily without putting it in the bag.

He owns three guitars. This guitar is the cheapest among them, and it is more popular. It is similar to the ones used by some students of the association. If it is too expensive, he does not dare to carry it around on his back, but even so, it does not mean that he does not care. Seeing the black cat squatting on the windowsill, Ah Jin hesitated for a moment.

If Zheng Tan wasn’t here, Ah Jin would have rushed over to protect his guitar.

Zheng Tan didn’t stop the sheriff, he was more curious what the sheriff would do next.

None of the four people in the room made a sound, all staring at the sheriff.

For a time, compared to the white-hot atmosphere of playing the electric guitar ten minutes ago, now it really matches the quietness of the old tiled house area.

The sheriff tilted his head in front of the guitar, swayed his tail slowly, raised his claw to hook on a metal string on the guitar, and retracted his claw.

The sound of the metal strings vibrating made the sheriff hunched back and jumped a step back. After the sound died down, he boldly leaned forward again, seemingly addicted to the game, and continued to raise his claws to hook the metal strings.

Without pressing the strings, the sound is only an empty string sound, which sounds pure noise to Zheng Tan, and the sheriff’s behavior is just a toy that he was looking for through cheap hands and curiosity, without any sense of musical art.

To Zheng Tan’s surprise, Ah Jin not only did not stop the sheriff from harming his guitar, but also immediately put down the guitar score he was holding, took out a small notebook and pen from the guitar bag behind him, and started to write something. .

I don’t know if it was because I had a great time playing the piano with others, but now Ah Jin is in quite good condition. After he started writing, he has been immersed in his own creative world. Perhaps, the sheriff’s “playing” noise also entered his creative world. .

Zhang Qie walked over to take a look, then opened his mouth to the boss, walked back to his original place softly and sat down, and made a mouth shape to the two other people – “compose music”.

Zheng Tan also saw Zhang Qi’s mouth shape, looked at the sheriff who was playing the guitar strings to make noise, and looked at A Jin who was immersed in the composition. Zheng Tan couldn’t help but wonder if he not only had no musical skills, but also Music appreciation standards are distorted.

But seeing Zhang Qie’s unanimous choked faces, he suddenly felt that Ah Jin seemed to be really talented, otherwise how could he hear the inspiration from the sheriff’s noisy “playing” ?

!

It was once said that cats are poets of urban melancholy, and they are born to be maverick wandering artists.

Zheng Tan never felt that, but now it seems that maybe it is, but he doesn’t understand the art of cats.

Half an hour later, Ah Jin, who was writing quickly, looked up again to look at the three cats on the windowsill, and the sheriff who was standing in front of the guitar, who had not “played” and was licking his paws. Word – “Fantasy of the Cat”.
