Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 309

[Chapter 298 Gem Level]

The tree hole where Zheng Tan was staying was still a little high from the ground. When the man fell, he pressed on the older man under the tree. The grass in the woods was thicker, and there were many leaves, etc. The man fell just miserably. With a cry, there were probably fractures and sprains in some places, but it was not life-threatening.

The older man below stood up and scolded. Zheng Tan couldn’t understand what he was scolding. He could only infer from the other party’s tone.

The older man didn’t feel well when he was pressed to the ground, so he got up and rubbed his shoulders and neck. Seeing the younger man was still moaning on the ground, he kicked and scolded him in a low voice, probably to be quieter, he didn’t want to. was discovered.

The young man’s voice was indeed much quieter, he slowly got up, rubbed his lower back and several other places, and then touched his hand, and found that the stinging spot on the back of his hand was sticky, obviously bleeding.

In terms of human eyesight, it was very difficult for the young man to realize that the cat that scared him to fall from the tree just now was actually a cat. It didn’t sound like a cat either.

Therefore, the two of them thought that the hole in the tree was occupied by a bird, and the wound on their hand was pecked by a bird. The young man was very angry. He stepped on a hard object under his feet and picked it up. It was the size of an egg. The stone, so he picked up the stone and threw it at the tree hole where Zheng Tan was. It was just that his arm was also slightly injured when he fell, and he didn’t exert any strength. The stone only hit the trunk of the tree when he threw it.

Upon seeing this, the older man scolded in a low voice, slapped the young man on the back of the head, and then carefully looked at the cycle.

When he asked something, the young man shook his feet and replied, “No.”

Zheng Tan was frightened and immediately retreated into the hole. He kept his ears listening to the movement below. The two whispered under the tree. After talking, he stopped staying under this tree and went to other places.

When the two men were about ten meters away, Zheng Tan quietly stuck out his head and saw the two men walking to a low bush, where few people passed by.

The grass is deep.

When the temperature is still warm, there are always a lot of mosquitoes there.

The two were whispering something in the low bushes, and at the same time Zheng Tan heard the rustling of the bushes.

Could it be that the other party fell badly and couldn’t climb the tree, so he chose another place to hide things?

Zheng Tan saw that the two were busy over there for a while, got up and looked around carefully, as if to remember the topography and specific directions here.

Then he turned back and left.

Took some weeds around the bushes while leaving.

Make them look more natural.

When the two of them walked away, Zheng Tan carefully listened to the surroundings, but did not hear any footsteps.

He slid down from the tree and went to the bushes.

Carefully pushing away some weeds in front of the bushes,

Zheng Tan smelled it, there were some unusual smells different from this kind of shrubs, following the smell, Zheng Tan stretched out his claws to push away the bushes.

Hidden in the dense bushes is an inconspicuous little bag, like those used by students to hold mp3s.

The other party tied the string of the bag to a few branches of the bush, and it was quite strong, probably for fear that it would fall and cause other accidents.

It took about half an hour for Zheng Tan to untie the bag. No wonder the two were busy working so long in front of the bushes just now.

After taking the bag out, Zheng Tan tugged at the bushes twice, helped the weeds that were crooked, and then ran away with the bag.

Coming under a tree, Zheng Tan touched the bag. The bag was very ordinary, and the material didn’t seem to be expensive. Outside the small bag, the students sold it for a dollar or two.

Opening the bag, Zheng Tan took a look inside. There were some small hard objects inside. The small ones were about one millimeter or even smaller, and the larger ones were about three millimeters. Zheng Tan took a closer look and found that these objects were very small. like diamonds.

diamond?

really?

Zheng Tan looked at the small particles in the bag. As an illiterate who couldn’t even distinguish between diamonds and crystals, Zheng Tan felt a lot of pressure.

But if it’s fake, why are those two people so careful?

Running over like a thief in the middle of the night to hide things?

But if it is true, these diamonds are worth a lot of money, so the two of them just throw them here?

Put the bag back?

After thinking about the style of those two people, Zheng Tan decided to piss them off.

He didn’t plan to bring the bag back to Jiao’s house, which would most likely cause trouble for the Jiao family, so Zheng Tan decided to hide the bag in another place.

It’s so late anyway, and no one will see it.

Um?

I seem to have forgotten something…

Looking up at the night sky, Zheng Tan scolded secretly, then tightened the mouth of the bag again, tied a simple knot, and climbed up the tree hole where the phone was hidden, since those two came here to hide things , also found this tree hole, to be on the safe side, Zheng Tan decided to temporarily transfer the phone.

Where to hide things, Zheng Tan thought about it and decided to hide his mobile phone and this bag of unidentified diamonds there first.

After Zheng Tan hid his things, he looked at his phone, it was eleven forty.

Shut down, and immediately ran towards the East District compound.

Before entering the compound, Zheng Tan could see the building where Jiao’s house was located, and where the Jiao’s house was on the fifth floor, the lights in the living room were still on.

Zheng Tan took a deep breath and continued to run back.

A batch is inevitable.

Jiao’s living room on the fifth floor.

Jiao’s father and mother were sitting in the living room, the TV was on, but there was no sound at all, and it was turned to almost silent.

One was expressionless, the other was worried, and looked at the clock on the wall from time to time.

Xiaoyuzi was sitting in front of the desk in the room, with a book of practice questions spread out in front of her, but she didn’t have the heart to write it at all, she was in a daze.

Papa Jiao took the remote control to switch channels, and switched to a channel that was playing a horror movie. A cat was baring its teeth at a monster. Papa Jiao twitched. It wasn’t that he wanted to watch this movie, but the corner of the channel. time is displayed.

Very well, it’s only ten minutes before twelve o’clock.

The wooden door at the entrance of Jiao’s house was not closed, and the security door was just left open.

There was a light “click” from downstairs, and Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother were shocked, and then looked at the door.

After a while.

A furry paw pushed open the hidden door, revealing a cat’s head, carefully looking towards the living room.

As soon as she saw the black cat’s paw, Jiao’s mother’s heart that had been hanging was put down.

“Okay, okay, I’m finally back!” Jiao Ma came over and lifted Zheng Tan up, looked at it, and found no injuries, so she put Zheng Tan down, yawned, and went into the bedroom to get ready to sleep.

They were usually in bed by this time.

This time, Dad Jiao was attached to the last time he was in Nancheng.

I had a good talk with Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan squatted on the sofa quietly, and was lectured by Jiao’s dad pointing at his forehead.

With his head down and his ears drooping, Zheng Tan knew.

Honestly admit mistakes.

Have to be pitiful.

Otherwise, the criticism will be more severe.

Moreover, Zheng Tan really felt sorry for returning home late.

After coming home so late, everyone in the family is waiting. Tomorrow, the three of them will have to get up early, go to school, go to work, and work.

The result of returning late this time was that Zheng Tan squeezed Xiaoyouzi’s quilt a few times and didn’t squeeze in. Xiaoyouzi brought it up and threw it into Jiao Yuan’s room. At the same time, Jiao Dad took back Zheng Tan’s cat card, but there was no cat card. Zheng Tan could not open the door downstairs, and it would be inconvenient to get in and out. This means being grounded.

It lasts for three days. After three days, it depends on the performance to decide whether the cat card will be returned.

Therefore, in the past three days, even if Zheng Tan can follow the people in and out of the building, but in order to return to the cat card as soon as possible, it is better to stay at home obediently.

Regarding these, Zheng Tan felt no resentment when he thought that the three of them would not sleep and wait for him in the middle of the night.

For cat cards, three days should be three days. It’s fine to stay at home and sleep in a daze, watch TV and play with the computer secretly, or go to the cardboard box under Jiao Yuan’s bed to find something to relieve the boredom.

Zheng Tan slept in Jiao Yuan’s bed all night, and the next day, Zheng Tan stayed at home peacefully, flipping through comics and novels from the cardboard box under Jiao Yuan’s bed. Those magazines with beautiful girls were all given to Jiao Yuan at some point. It was dealt with, and Zheng Tan, a newly bought magazine, had only seen it once, but he couldn’t find it no matter how much he looked for it later. Jiao Yuan, this little brat, grew up with a lot of minds, and even the technique of hiding things was very clever.

While flipping through the comics, Zheng Tan thought about the bag of things he caught last night, and really wanted to see how the two would react when they found out that the things were missing.

But are those things true or false?

Zheng Tan thought about it, and suddenly recalled that he heard Mama Jiao say something about diamonds some time ago. At that time, Zheng Tan didn’t pay attention to it. Looking back carefully, Mama Jiao seemed to have seen something mentioned in a newspaper before saying it. of.

Recalling the approximate date of that day, it should be “Chu University News”. Different journals are issued at different times. Even if he doesn’t read newspapers much, Zheng Tan has been familiar with this for the past few years in Jiao’s house.

Since it is recent, it is either on Jiao Yuan’s desk or next to Jiao’s dad’s computer.

Jumping to Jiao Yuan’s desk and flipping through it, there were only a few other periodicals, and he didn’t see “Chu University News”. Zheng Tan ran to the master bedroom again, and found what he was looking for on the stack of newspapers next to the computer.

Pull out the newspaper, and you don’t need to look for it. Once you unfold it, you can see the big picture, which shows three diamonds.

It was a synthetic diamond made by a laboratory specializing in materials research at the School of Chemistry, Chuhua University. According to the above statement, they all reached the gem level.

The huge commercial value has made the synthesis technology of gem-grade diamond single crystals strictly blocked for a long time.

com There are also some research institutes and some commercial institutions in China that have been exploring and researching. After mastering the core technology of synthesizing high-quality gem-grade diamond single crystals, the laboratory on campus showed their three excellent synthesis results, three artificial diamonds with different colors. Gem-quality diamonds ranging in size from six to seven millimeters.

Zheng Tan didn’t have the patience to read the content of those large-scale academic terminology explanations. .

A long time ago, Su An jokingly said to Jiao Yuan, “What is your cat’s name, Heitan, you can just call it Shishi?” At the time, Zheng Tan didn’t understand it, but now that he thinks about it, he suddenly feels that his name has suddenly changed.

Just don’t know when it will become “diamond”.

The article in the newspaper said that many man-made diamonds have reached the level of being fake and real. It also explained that their laboratory has special identification equipment. The voiceover means that they can help identify them, but the payment is different.

It is impossible for Zheng Tan to run over and knock on the door of the laboratory directly carrying those suspected diamonds.

The article also mentioned some identification methods. Zheng Tan thought about going to the test after the foot ban order was lifted.
