Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 57: How many legs does a cat walk on?

When Zheng Tan got out of the car, the sky was already a little hazy.

Because he was too involved in thinking about things, Zheng Tan didn't pay attention to how long the small bread ran. He didn't even realize that it would be unlucky.

It just happened to be in a car and the car was out of town. It's unclear whether this place is still in Nancheng, but judging from time, I'm afraid it's been a long time since Nancheng.

All eyes are on the trees, and the fields that spread to the sky.

The countryside is not poor, but the dwellings of the residents are all modern, and only a few places still retain the old-style tile houses.

Zheng Tan doesn't know where this place is on the map, but see that many of those residents' houses are two or three-story bungalows. It's good to know that these people have good living conditions, so it's easier to find a phone. It is rare to find a telephone in a poor place.

Zheng Tan first wrote down the address of the driver of the bun. If the driver got out of the car again, he could continue to drive the car. After that, Zheng Tan was going to walk around to get familiar with the terrain and this strange environment. To wait for an opportunity, she must spend the waiting period safely.

See which households are better to start with and find food easily. Also see which villagers have telephones in their homes, and find it difficult to find opportunities to call. It is also important to find a safer place for yourself.

To be safe, Zheng Tan still prefers taller branches. Maybe because the temperature here is slightly higher than in the central part of this season, it is warmer. Many large deciduous trees are leafy, which is good for Zheng Tan to hide.

Turning around the village, Zheng Tan encountered several dirt dogs and cats catching bugs and playing outside. Seeing them strolling around leisurely, Zheng Tan was also at ease, and seeing these cats and dogs hanging out shows that no one here is playing dogs and cats.

Finding a large locust tree with lush foliage and shade as a temporary foothold in fine weather, Zheng Tan jumped up and tried it, and it was generally satisfactory. I chose a tree branch to lie down. Look around.

Here you can see the situation over the village, and at the same time not too close, will not be harassed by those villagers.

There is a citrus orchard near this locust tree, and two dirt dogs are chained inside. Zheng Tan just saw a cat walk into the citrus orchard and walk in front of the two dogs. The two dogs just glanced at it. Then nothing happened. It is estimated that they are already familiar with each other, too lazy to call.

A black butterfly flew past the big locust tree and into the citrus orchard. Flying between citrus trees.

Zheng Tan remembered that this seemed to be a kind of swallowtail butterfly. I had seen it before when I was in the old flowerbed of the old man. The last swallowtail butterfly that flew into the little flowerbed was made by the old man. Several students were present at the time. Zheng Tan heard them talking and said that in some places, this kind of swallowtail butterfly is the legendary Liang Zhudie.

This Liang Zhu butterfly is also particular about being a Liang Zhu butterfly. This butterfly must be of type II. The so-called sexual type 2 means that there are inherently obvious differences between female and male individuals, which allows people to judge their gender through these differences.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, a man and a woman, were linked to the legend, and people felt that they should be distinguished when they turned into butterflies. Conversely, for example, the Dharma Papilio in the butterfly species, because the male and female Papilio are similar in color, it is not easy to distinguish them, so they are not promoted as Liang Zhudie.

Zheng Tan looked at the pattern on the wings of this swallowtail butterfly, like a female butterfly, which is "Zhuyingtai"?

Zheng Tan was admiring Zhu Yingtai. Suddenly, the cat who had walked into the citrus orchard jumped from behind a citrus tree. He patted the butterfly with a paw, and patted it a few times. Just play and eat.

Zheng Tan: "..."

I don't know how those people who tell the legend story eloquently will see this scene.

After Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies, they were eaten by cats? It is estimated that the expression of people who hear this cruel version of the story must be as constipated.

Yawning, Zheng Tan squinted and started to sleep. No way, you have to wait for the night if you want to act.

Zheng Tan had a dream while sleeping, dreaming about the days when he was at the Jiao family during the Chinese New Year. I remember that Zheng Tan and the two children sat on the sofa and watched TV on that day. "Watching the Dog Talking" was in it. Say, "Hey charcoal, we must remember the way home. If you lose and we can't find you, can you come back by yourself?"

Liu Nancheng still tried to find a way to return to Chuhua City. Regarding this issue, Zheng Tan was always contradictory, but finally decided to return to Chuhua City. After all, the life of cats and people is different, and I can find a good family. It's not easy, let alone Zheng Tan has begun to miss the Eastern Courtyard.

Waiting until night fell, Zheng Tan jumped from the locust tree and walked towards the villager's house.

People here eat dinner early, sleep early, and save Zheng Tan from waiting too long.

I went to a few families and found some food to eat. It wasn't delicious, so I just tried it. Go to the phone after you eat, it's a bit difficult to find the phone.

People in this place also like to put the phone in the bedroom and on the bedside, that is to say, the phone is always kept at night. Zheng Tan changed this situation for several. Even if these villagers fell asleep at night, Zheng Tan didn't dare to call immediately, the telephone was right next to their bed, and it was easy to wake them up.

Zheng Tan doesn't want to be treated as a monster, so he can only continue to find out if there are any households to start with.

Those who keep dogs at home, Zheng Tan won't choose. These dogs don't know Zheng Tan, they just call when they see them. Regarding this, Zheng Tan couldn't help it, but most villagers had dogs at home, which made Zheng Tan's choices much narrower.

Fortunately, Zheng Tan really found a good resident in the end. Coincidentally, this household is the driver of the minivan.

Hiding in the dark while listening to the villagers talking about something, Zheng Tan learned that the brother of the small van driver was about to get married, and he had an incident in Nancheng a few days ago. By the way, buy some related supplies and help bring some home appliances.

The wedding day is the day after tomorrow. This family has a large yard. Because they set up open-air banquets, but the room is not big enough, they set up in the yard. At present, his family is basically busy in the yard. At night, it lights up and continues to work.

This way, there will be no one in the room, and even better, this house has no dogs. This made Zheng Tan very satisfied.

The first floor is where old people live. The phone is not here, and there is nothing in the lobby. Zheng sighs.

A simple shed was set up beside the second-floor building of the house for car use. Zheng Tan turned from the simple carport to the second floor.

There is a telephone in the bedroom on the second floor. Same as other residents. Landline phones are also placed on the nightstand. Zheng Tan watched. There was no adult in the second floor at this time, so they went to the yard to help. There is a small girl in the small room next door. Seeing as if she was in kindergarten, she was lying on the foam floor reading a book herself.

As long as there are no grown-ups, even if they are seen by a child who can't count, Zheng Tan doesn't think it matters. Adults don't take them seriously.

Zheng Tan jumped in from the window, ran towards the telephone with excitement, jumped onto the nightstand, picked up the handset and dialed the number that was remembered. Of course, this time, I certainly did not forget to add 0 in front of the mobile phone number. I don't remember what the area code of Chuhua City is, so I called Jiao Da's cell phone.

At this time, everyone in the Jiao family should be at home? Associate Professor Jiao should also be at home.

Zheng Tan waited happily after dialing the phone, but listening to the prompts in the phone, Zheng Tan's mood was suddenly gloomy again.

paralysis! This machine didn't unlock the long distance!

You have to find the key to unlock!

Where can I find the key? !!

Zheng Tan flipped through the drawer and didn't see the small key of the long distance lock of the telephone. He wondered, as for the long-distance lock of this machine? Shouldn't a place like this often use long-distance calls?

Putting the microphone back in despair, Zheng Tan squatted there and thought about it. The phones in these villagers' homes would not lock long distances for each one. Try one by one? However, it is better to steal the driver's cell phone, and other people's cell phones will work, at least the cell phone will not be as troublesome as a landline.

I looked at this bedroom, because there was a wedding party at home, many sweets and other snacks on the table, and other snacks, it is estimated that it is dedicated to entertaining guests.

Zheng Tan turned out a bag of beef jerky and squid shreds from a big bag. After taking it out, he pulled the big bag's zipper back together, then jumped into the window and held two bags of snacks to leave.

Standing at the window, Zheng Tan was holding the snack with her hands, standing on the windowsill with her two legs, ready to jump. Before jumping, Zheng Tan noticed that someone was looking at this side and looked sideways.

The little girl who was still reading the picture book next door was hiding outside the bedroom door and looked at it, without screaming, with curiosity in her eyes.

Zheng sighed, then ignored her and jumped off the windowsill. Jumping on both legs is not very convenient, but it is okay to jump a few times when looking for the phone. Being able to hold things empty-handed, Zheng Tan was also willing to do so. Anyway, no one except the little girl saw it at this time. I was scared. Besides, I wouldn't stay in this place all the time.

Zheng Tan walked smartly, but had a great impact on the children.

In the evening, the child's mother came and held the picture book to teach the little girl to count, from one to ten. In order to match the memory, her mother also deliberately combined some things in reality to teach.

"How many legs does the bird walk on?" Her mother asked.

"Two." The little girl held out two fingers.

"How many legs does the big yellow dog walk on?"

"Four!" Said the little girl, counting the legs of the big yellow dog drawn in the picture book.

"Yes, so smart, how many kittens does the kitten walk on?" Her mother asked with a smile.

The little girl thought about the cat she saw today ~ www.readwn.com ~ counted with her fingers, and then stretched out two fingers, "two!"

Her mother: "..."

Zheng Tan had no idea what his impact was. At this moment he was holding two bags of snacks and walking towards Dahuaishu. At this time, there was no one in the field. There were only a few dogs guarding the orchard. No one would see a cat walking on two legs and walking naturally.

As Zheng Tan walked, pondering how to "borrow" the phone, he suddenly heard a humming sound. After listening and distinguishing with his ears, Zheng Tan felt that this sounded like a dog.

Putting down the snack on his hand, Zheng Tan walked to the side where the voice came. If there was any danger, the four legs still ran faster.

There is a pit over there. It is estimated that who used to store water and raised something before. Now the pit is full of weeds. And at this moment there was an iron cage inside the pit. There were three puppies in the cage. Two were lying there without moving. Only one of them was crawling in with a slightly larger head, and it kept humming. (To be continued ...)
