Old Tea spoke so solemnly that Zhang Zi'an was somewhat flattered. He couldn't guess what the knowledgeable Old Tea would ask him for advice. Is it about science?

He laughed: "Master Tea, don't be so polite, just don't understand where you can speak straight, I know everything, everything."

Lao Cha groaned and said, "Tianzi An, do you mean this fold-eared cat originated from abroad, and then passed into China?"

Zhang Zi'an nodded. "Yeah, it is said that it was accidentally bred by a breeder from a small projectile country in Europe."

"You know what year and month?" Lao Cha asked again.

"This ..." Zhang Zi'an is not a cat history expert. He picked up his mobile phone and searched it before answering: "In 1961, more than half a century ago."

"That's not right." Lao Cha shook his head in confusion. "It's rotten to see cats with drooping ears like you said before ..."

"Well?" Zhang Zi'an stunned, "Master Tea, did you mean‘ previously ’during the end of the last century?”

He met Laocha in Yinwu Mountain. There are many dense forests on Yinwu Mountain. At first he thought that Lao Cha said that the encounter in the mountain forest meant the forest of Yinwu Mountain. Now it seems that it is not.

"That's right." Old Tea was even more confused. "The old age was a mature man, confident that he wouldn't spend his eyes, and he would never misunderstand. However, you said that this cat appeared in 1961, which is a strange thing ..."

"What kind of cat do you see? Is it the same as a folded ear cat?" Zhang Zi'an asked in detail.

Lao Cha shook his head. "Not the same. The cat has long hair and a pure white hair, but it looks a bit like a snow lion ... except that it has a long body and a thicker and stronger tail."

The Snow Lion was snoring, listening to Lao Cha mentioning his name, and opened his sleepy eyes blankly, "What are you doing? What are you looking for?"

Zhang Zi'an and Lao Cha ignored it, didn't answer, and sat back on the reclining chair to meditate.

The fold-eared cat must have been out in 1961, and this can never be wrong.

However, old tea can not be mistaken, because of the character of old tea, if you are not sure, you will not tell it.

The question is what happened to the cat with drooping ears that old tea saw?

Time passed minute by minute, Lao Cha did not continue to watch TV, and Fina did not continue to snore, all staring at Zhang Zi'an's face with curiosity.

Snowy long-haired cat with drooping ears ... fold ear cat ... 1961 ... Last century ...

He put these keywords together, and then broke them apart again, searching for clues from his mind like a bowel.

After a long time.

"Ah! I remember!" Zhang Zi'an patted his thigh and stood up. "I understand what you see, Mr. Tea!"

"Oh? Zi'an come quickly!" Lao Cha said in surprise.

Zhang Zi'an swallowed excitedly, organized the language, and said, "I happened to see similar rumors before, but at that time, I only listened to strange things and didn't take them seriously. In my heart, but when you say that, I remember ... "

Fina interrupted him impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Okay ..." Zhang Zi'an was very complacent. It was finally his turn to be in the limelight, but Fina was urged, and he had to omit the opening words of 10,000 words, and said directly, "Master Tea, what you see is not The modern fold-eared cat is a kind of ancient Chinese lop-eared cat called English sumxu. This cat has not found any specimens so far, and it is controversial whether it actually exists. The most recent sighting was a matter before liberation. Now. "

The old tea beard trembled slightly, his face surprised and said, "Before liberation ... means before 1949? In this way, time is right."

Fina frowned unhappyly, "Ancient cat? Why hasn't Honmiya heard of such cats? Wouldn't it be yours?" What crimes should you deceive us? You?"

"Stop it! Slap it out!" When it comes to this topic, the Snow Lion inexplicably comes to spirit.

"Cough!" Zhang Zi'an coughed a few times and explained to Fina: "Although it is ancient, it is much later than your era, and it is normal that you have not heard of it. Don't worry, let me say slowly. "

Zhang Zi'an lay back on the reclining chair, telling the legend he saw to Fina, Lao Cha, and other elves as if telling a story.

The Chinese lop-eared cat was discovered and written in the book by Western missionaries in the 17th century. In their writings, the cat is described as having long white hair and drooping ears, which is extremely popular with Chinese ladies. Even in China at the time, lop-eared cats were not common, and only a small amount passed on to the upper classes.

Some people question that such cats don't really exist, because similar records have not been found in local Chinese literature. Others question that lop-eared cats are not cats, but animals similar to marten, or cats and cats. The mixed breed that Marten gave birth to is different and there is no conclusion. Quite a few Europeans are interested in this strange cat, and even offer a bounty at the European Cat Show, hoping that someone can bring a Chinese lop-eared cat, but unfortunately, no one can take this pen Bounty.

The Chinese lop-eared cat was last reported in 1938, and since then mainstream opinion has held that even if such cats did exist, they are now extinct.

Fina's curiosity was aroused, and he was overwhelmed by the fact that he kept urging him to continue talking, but Zhang Zi'an only knew this.

The old tea breathed a long breath, "So it's called a lop-eared cat ..."

"That ... Father Tea, this lop-eared cat is the name given by a Western missionary. I do n’t know what they call it in China. It is probably a homonym of the word sumxu. In addition, according to the missionary records, this lop-eared cat and folded ears Although the cat's ears are all bent, they are formed for different reasons: the folded ear cat is a deformed genetic mutation, while the lop-eared cat seems to be 'used in and abandoned'. Due to long-term captivity, the ears are useless and slow. Slow degradation, which is exactly two different directions of evolution. "Zhang Zi'an corrected.

As for what is the theory of evolution, it will inevitably take a while to speak, Zhang Zi'an spoke in the clouds, old tea and Fina seemed to understand ~ www.readwn.com ~ He talked dry, put The little ink in the belly was poured clean, and I picked up a bottle of Evian water to open it and drank it. The right is a reward for myself. Fina glanced at him, but said nothing.

After groaning, he wiped his mouth and asked old tea curiously: "Master Tea, listen to you, have you seen this kind of lop-eared cat?"

Lao Cha nodded slowly, "I ca n’t think I can make a mistake. I have seen it once in the jungle at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi in the past. I was very surprised at that time. I do n’t know where this cat-like and non-cat thing came from. They also listen to ordinary cat language. I do n’t understand, it may be exactly what you said. "

Zhang Zi'an felt like he missed a hundred million. He would like to say that Master Tea, you should catch one decisively, send it to the European Cat Show in exchange for a bounty, and then exchange it for gold bars and silver dollars. Hidden in a hidden place. He went to dig ...

Since there is old tea to testify, the lop-eared cat probably did exist, but it may have been extinct during the war in the early last century. It is hard to say whether they are cats or marten. Zhang Zi'an prefers them to be white. After all, according to Lao Cha, they do n’t understand ordinary cat language.

He didn't quite believe that this kind of animal was a descendant of a cat and a mink. A lion and a tiger can give birth to a lizard beast, and a horse and a donkey can give birth to a mule, but the cat and the mink ... Is it a bit far behind? What about good reproductive isolation?

Fina sneered: "If the palace is present, it is a cat and a cat, and the palace will know at a glance."

Zhang Zi'an did not argue with it because it was telling the truth.

It is no use to regret a mysterious creature that has become extinct and has not even left a specimen.

He stood up with a teapot, "Master Tea, I'll change the tea for you."

"There is Lao Zi'an." Lao Cha smiled relievedly, but finally he felt sick, it felt very comfortable.
