Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 234

[Chapter 223 The Black Cat on the Wall]

Zheng Tan has heard too many words of this kind, especially such words with strong disgust.

Zheng Tan paused in his footsteps and looked in the direction of the sound just now.

Over there by a tall cedar tree, two people stood there.

One is about forty years old and looks like a lady, while the other has white hair and a light-colored shawl. The whole person is indifferent and peaceful.

And it was the middle-aged woman who spoke up just now.

She supported the old man next to her and looked at Zheng Tan with undisguised disgust.

It’s still strange for Zheng Tan, he didn’t mess with this guy, why does it seem like he has hatred when he says it out.

However, the old lady next to the middle-aged woman did not have any disgust in her eyes, but instead had a scrutiny and a little kind smile.

“What’s wrong with black cats.” The old lady said, obviously disapproving of what the people around her had just said.

However, the old lady seemed to be in poor physical condition. Her voice was not too loud, and her voice was a little softer. Compared with the few old ladies in the courtyard who were singing operas without any pressure, she was a little out of breath.

The middle-aged woman twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t say it directly. She paused and said, “Mom, let’s go there for a walk.”

“It’s good here, no need to change places. The old lady shook her head and patted the hand of the person next to her, “I know you think a black cat is unlucky.” The

middle-aged woman wanted to explain, but opened her mouth, but was stopped by the old lady raising her hand. The old lady knew what she wanted to say.

In the hospital, most of them are patients, and some are in convalescence.

Go out and walk around, and some, like this old lady, sometimes don’t want to stay in the ward all day during the hospitalization observation period, they will come out and walk after getting the doctor’s permission, waiting behind her, there may be an operation, It just hasn’t been decided yet.

The old lady also felt that the ward was too stuffy today, so she communicated with the doctor.

Only then did his daughter-in-law help him down and walk around to get some air.

A wheelchair was originally arranged, but the old lady did not sit.

A nurse followed not far behind them, presumably to prevent any emergencies.

Zheng Tan felt that the old lady was quite charming when she laughed, as if it had a magical effect of calming down the impetuous guilty conscience.

Zheng Tan’s unpleasant mood when he heard the highly targeted words just now disappeared completely.

The old lady must have been a beauty when she was young.

Zheng Tan thought.

There are many beautiful people in this age.

pity.

Even if it was once magnificent.

It can’t stand the pig-killing knife of the years.

However,

what time takes away is the appearance, but not the temperament of that body.

Everyone has an old age, and it is not easy to be elegant all the time.

Perhaps she was tired from walking, so the old lady looked around and walked to the wooden bench on the side of the road, intending to sit here and rest for a while.

After seeing the old lady’s movements, the nurse who followed quickly stepped forward and put a layer of cushion on the wooden chair to keep out the cold.

The old lady smiled and thanked the nurse, and the young nurse immediately had a better impression of the old man.

The middle-aged woman looked at Zheng Tan, still couldn’t help but dislike it, and scolded the black cat on the fence a thousand times in her heart.

There is no way. In the hospital, many people are more particular about some things, and they are also taboo about some things. It seems that apples are mostly used for fruit delivery, and pears are rarely delivered. The old lady still wanted to eat pears two days ago, and she spent a lot of time. Let the old lady agree to change to another fruit.

But now, what to do when you see a black cat?

Many people think black cats are evil, especially in such a time and place, middle-aged women always feel unlucky, especially when the cat looks at people, it makes her feel furious, and she originally wanted to give the cat to her. Drive away, it can be seen that the old lady is like this, it is impossible to drive away.

I wanted to take the old lady to other places, but now the old lady is sitting down!

What should I do?

!

He didn’t say anything, but Zheng Tan could see the strong disgust and rejection in the middle-aged woman’s eyes.

This made Zheng Tan, who was about to lift his foot to leave, changed his mind.

Zheng Tan is like this sometimes, a little stubborn, and has a rebellious mood.

The more you hate me, the more you want me to leave, but I don’t!

So, Zheng Tan squatted on the high fence, glared at the middle-aged woman, and smugly shook the tip of his tail twice.

The middle-aged woman was so angry that she twitched in the face, but because the old lady had to endure the attack, if it were normal, she would have called the Master to do it.

The old lady looked at Zheng Tan’s direction and said with a smile, “I saw a lot of black cats when I was a child. At that time, the old people in our place said that black cats are spiritual things and can exorcise evil spirits.” The

middle-aged woman disdained this statement in her heart .

, and exorcism, she saw that the cat itself was “evil”!

“Don’t believe me, I remember that our village…” The old lady looked in Zheng Tan’s direction, but her eyes seemed to be recalling things many, many years ago through Zheng Tan.

The old lady said something, the middle-aged woman should only listen to the story, and her disgust for the cat on the fence has not diminished much. If she was in the hospital herself, she would definitely not want to see such a pure black cat , it will definitely make people drive it far away, so that it does not dare to get close.

It is estimated that the old lady was addicted to recalling the past because of Zheng Tan’s relationship, and she also said some interesting things in her memory.

“I didn’t expect you to be naughty, old lady.” The young nurse next to her joked.

“Yeah, I was a crazy girl back then.” The old lady didn’t mind breaking her old bottom at all, and then sighed: “This person, when I think back to when I was young, I really feel that the changes have been quite big. The shortcomings, Advantages, old habits, new habits, just like urban construction, some places have to be demolished, and some places will be built, but after a few years, I see that they have changed a lot

without knowing it.”

Knowing what to say, she didn’t know the old lady, and she was afraid that the wrong words would cause the old lady to be sentimental. For an old man of this age, a little illness could be fatal. Among them, emotions are very important.

Seeing that the old lady’s words were wrong, the middle-aged woman quickly picked another topic.

But she didn’t want to. The old lady didn’t want to change the subject at all. She looked at the black cat on the fence and said to the middle-aged woman, “I’m watching. This cat is really spiritual.” What

a spiritual fart!

The middle-aged woman slandered.

The old lady got up and waved to Zheng Tan, “Hey, the black cat on the fence, do you have time to come and talk to the old lady with me?”

What does it know!

The middle-aged woman was about to comfort the old lady, but she didn’t want to. Out of the corner of the eye, she caught a glimpse of the shadow on the side of the fence. When she looked over, she found that the cat that was squatting on the fence had jumped down and was walking slowly towards this side.

This time it wasn’t just the middle-aged woman and the young nurse.

Even the old lady was surprised.

She was just talking casually, she really didn’t expect the cat to come.

Zheng Tan had a good impression of this old lady, so he decided to give some face and another.

Just to anger the middle-aged woman.

See Zheng Tan really come over.

The old lady was happy.

He beckoned and patted the wooden chair next to him, motioning for Zheng Tan to sit next to him.

The middle-aged woman wanted to say that there were many germs on the cat, but she was in a good mood after seeing the old lady.

Don’t dare to speak indiscriminately.

Zheng Tan was not polite, and jumped on the bench.

Although the middle-aged woman endured it, when Zheng Tan approached, she had to move aside like a plague, not wanting to get too close to the cat. .

“Look, what did I say, does this cat have spirituality?” The

old lady raised her hand and touched Zheng Tan’s head, but Zheng Tan turned his head away.

The old lady didn’t care either. She felt that the cats seemed to be more vigilant, and it was good to be able to come here. Therefore, the happiness in the old lady’s heart did not diminish at all.

This time the young nurse took a chance and said quickly, “It’s true, so, this cat can exorcise evil spirits.” She originally planned to say that the cat can remove the qi, but after thinking about it, she can’t talk nonsense. Otherwise, she can’t bear what happened in the end.

What can be said?

Even though the middle-aged woman resented the cat on the long wooden chair, she had to laugh and add a few words to reassure the old lady.

Zheng Tan stayed beside the old lady with a triumphant appearance, looking at the middle-aged woman with a provocative look in his eyes.

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and suppressed the surging anger in her heart. She originally thought that she was thinking too much, how could there be such a look in the eyes of a cat, but the more she looked, the more she felt that it was not. The hallucination caused by his emotions suddenly clenched his fists.

Because she was going to take care of the old lady, her long nails had already been cut off. If it weren’t for this, when she clenched her fists, her nails would definitely have pierced her palms.

Zheng Tan saw this middle-aged woman’s small movements and was very disdainful.

Although this woman looks like a wealthy lady, not to mention jewels – she doesn’t dare to dress up too much to take care of patients. Judging from her dress and facial maintenance, she used to be a very sought after beauty, but compared to the old woman next to her. Madam, Zheng Tan felt that this middle-aged woman was also an old goblin when she got old.

Maybe this is the difference in temperament?

Shaking his head, Zheng Tan squatted beside the old lady, he could see that the old lady was a sick person, a little weak, such a good person, Zheng Tan hoped that she would be healthy and see more of this rapidly changing city.

From the look in her eyes when she looked at her memories, Zheng Tan felt that the old man still had a lot of people and things that he couldn’t bear or let go, but time waits for no one.

The old man had to go back to the ward, and Zheng Tan was also ready to get up and leave.

Before getting up, the old lady raised her hand to touch Zheng Tan’s cat’s head again, but Zheng Tan conditioned reflexively to avoid it, and the man’s head should not be touched.

However, thinking of the old lady in front of her, she couldn’t bear it. Before she could withdraw her hand, Zheng Tan raised his forefoot and touched the old lady’s palm.

Good luck to you, the unknown old lady.

After the touch, before the three could react, Zheng Tan climbed over the wall and left.

The old lady looked at the palm of her hand and smiled.

The young nurse who was not far from the old lady looked at the old man standing there and thought to herself, this is really not easy.

From the black hair to the silver thread, the beauty has faded, the steps are staggering, and the illness is troubled, but he still smiles calmly.

The old lady pulled her shawl and said softly, “Prepare for surgery.”

“Mom, did you really decide?! Let’s think about it again, not because of that cat…” The middle-aged woman was very worried. If she didn’t choose surgery, she could survive for three to five years. Fortunately, the old lady can also see the changes in the city over the years, but if it is not successful, she will never see the city again.

The old lady shook her head, but said nothing.

Seeing this is really determined.
