unrivaled gymnastics

Everyone searched for the lost Cleopatra separately, each responsible for one direction.Gu Xiaofei searched all the way along the bustling avenue, but he didn't even see a single cat hair.Although the night is dark, there are still many vehicles on the road. In case the cat gets involved in the traffic and encounters an accident... Gu Xiaofei can't imagine its ending!

He has photos of Cleopatra stored in his mobile phone, and he asks everyone if he has seen the cat, but passers-by can't provide any useful clues.

At the intersection, Gu Xiaofei entered the underground passage.

During the daytime, the underground passages are bustling with people singing and performing arts and selling stalls, adding a bit of noisy and busy atmosphere.But at night, the passageway is deserted and deserted, and the pale lights not only have little lighting effect, but show a faint and mysterious atmosphere.

A homeless man huddled around the corner of the passage.In recent years, Yinghai City has vigorously rectified the city appearance and sent homeless and beggars to shelters, but some people still live on the streets.Gu Xiaofei didn't pay attention to the homeless man at first, and walked past him, but then backed up after walking a few steps.

"Brother, let me ask you something, have you seen this cat?"

Gu Xiaofei showed Cleopatra on the phone.

The homeless man had unshaven beards and disheveled hair. It was almost impossible to tell where the face was and where the fur was. His black clothes were covered with dust and exuded a peculiar smell, which smelled like a boys' dormitory that hadn't been cleaned for a month.

He opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes shot out from under the tangled bangs, which made Gu Xiaofei shiver.

"No. Don't disturb my sleep."

Gu Xiaofei kicked the phone back into his pocket and was about to leave when the homeless man suddenly stopped him.

"Can you give me some money?"

Gu Xiaofei touched his pocket - it was empty.He came out to compete today, and he didn't put any money on him at all.Besides, now that electronic payment is so developed, a mobile phone can travel all over the world, and many people don't carry wallets when they go out.

"I'm sorry I didn't bring any cash," he took out his phone, "How about wechat transfer some for you?"

"..." The homeless stared at him, "Do I look like someone with a cell phone?"

Gu Xiaofei scratched his head.Yes, why bother to sleep on the street when you can afford a mobile phone.Although many beggars are actually rich, the tramp in front of him is obviously not the kind of rich man who hides in the begging world.

"Sorry, I really have no money. If you are hungry, you can go to the police station, and they will send you to the shelter."

The tramp let out a disdainful sneer from his nose, and the laughter echoed in the dark underground passage, extremely treacherous.The hair on Gu Xiaofei's back stood on end, and he ran out of the underground passage as if fleeing.

Breathing the fresh air outside, he gradually calmed down.Thinking back, the homeless man was in a state of embarrassment, which was really desolate.Perhaps because of his background, Gu Xiaofei always has a strong sympathy for the disadvantaged, and he will help the weak when he can. At this moment, he can't help but sympathize with the homeless.

The homeless man has been wandering outside for an unknown amount of time, so it must be a difficult life for him to be hungry and full.Gu Xiaofei felt more and more sympathetic to him, so he simply went to a nearby 24-hour convenience store to buy a piece of bread and a bottle of mineral water, then hurried back to the underground passage, and put the food and water in front of the homeless man.

Under the bangs of the homeless man gleamed with burning eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"My former homeroom teacher said that if you meet someone who begs for food, you will give some money, and if you meet someone who asks for money, you will give some food. I think you are really pitiful, so I bought you something to eat."

The tramp eyed the bread and mineral water suspiciously.

"Don't worry, it's not poisoned. Look, it's sealed." Gu Xiaofei picked up the bread and showed him the seal on the package, "You can eat it. You're welcome, it's only a few dollars."

The homeless man held the bread in his left hand and the mineral water in his right, and looked at Gu Xiaofei suspiciously, as if wondering if he was crazy.Gu Xiaofei also stared at him in confusion, wondering why he didn't accept his kindness.Both sides are questioning the mental health of the other.

After a while, the homeless man slowly unpacked the bread, took a big bite, and unscrewed the mineral water bottle to take a big gulp.

Seeing that he was willing to eat, Gu Xiaofei felt relieved and smiled.

"Eat slowly, I'm leaving first, and I'm still looking for a cat."

"Wait," the homeless man called to stop him, "I dare not forget the favor of a meal, let me give you something."

"... Forget it, brother, you have fallen to this point, so don't learn how to give rewards to NPCs in games, okay?" Gu Xiaofei couldn't help complaining.

"You!" The homeless man's eyes burst out with anger, and he really wanted to rush up and beat Gu Xiaofei violently, "Stop! I just want to give you something! Come here!"

How could there be such an unreasonable vagabond in the world who insisted on giving away things?Gu Xiaofei was very puzzled.He is simply the domineering president among homeless people.Could it be something bad?He looked around, he and the homeless man were the only two people in the underground passage, no one called 110 for him even if he shouted for help.

Teacher Su said that people in the city have deep routines, and they often cheat money from careless people. Could it be that this is some new type of routine, similar to fairy jumping, called, uh...beggar jumping?

"No big brother, you'd better keep the good stuff for yourself, I think you need it more than I do." Gu Xiaofei took a step back.

The tramp fumbled in his dirty clothes for a long time, took out a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing, and flicked it lightly on the ground.The piece of paper swirled and slid towards Gu Xiaofei, and just stopped at his feet.

"Take it!" said the tramp angrily.

His behavior was so weird that Gu Xiaofei had to wonder if he had a mental problem.It is unwise to have a conflict with a mental patient. If someone beats you, you will not be held criminally responsible, but if you beat him, you will lose money instead!

Gu Xiaofei quickly picked up the piece of paper, put it in his pocket, shouted "Thank you, brother", and started to jump slightly, as if he was stepping on a hot wheel to escape from the underground passage.

He turned his head back and forth, fearing that the tramp would catch up, and he was relieved until he escaped a few hundred meters and could not see the entrance of the underground passage.

Teacher Su is right, big cities have a large population, and relatively speaking, there will be more weirdos.He took out the piece of paper the homeless man gave him, and looked at it by the light of the street lamp.It was a card with complex geometric figures drawn on one side and a red heart drawn on the other. It looked like a poker card at first glance, but the suit did not belong to any of the poker cards.

——This card may not have any function for me, but in the eyes of the poor and crazy homeless, it may be a rare treasure, so I will give it to me.Alas, since it's someone's kindness, I don't want to waste it.

Gu Xiaofei put the card back into his pocket, feeling more sympathetic to the poor tramp.

***

In the underground passage, the homeless man watched the boy go away, and smiled lowly.

"Ace of Hearts, Ace of Hearts, you gave away the 'Heart Order' just for a mere meal, you are so fucking useless!" He leaned against the wall with self-deprecating, shoulders trembling, just laughed like that After a while, the laughter stopped abruptly, only the echo echoed in the underground passage.

The homeless man lifted his coat, revealing the stained T-shirt underneath. Anyone with experience in criminal investigation could tell at a glance that it was not ordinary dirt, but blood that had dried up for a long time.

"8 of spades, Qiu Tongyun, two treacherous dogs, dare to set up an ambush to plot against me! They even stole my painting! Damn it, when I regain my strength, I will beat out the intestines of you two first, then Stretch you two sluts with your intestines!"

He clutched his stomach wound and cursed, his hoarse grunts lingering like cursed spells lingering in the empty passage.Tired of scolding, he picked up the bread and mineral water at hand, and began to feast on them.

"Thank you, master!" Gu Xuyang paid the fare and got off at Jinxiu Road.

He said he was here to find a cat for his uncle, but in fact he had no intention of looking for a cat at all.Most of the reason why he came here was to escape Celine, looking for the cat was just a way.

He himself couldn't figure out why he was afraid of Celine.Is it because western beauties are too proactive, and he, a conservative oriental, can't accept it?Or is he subconsciously inferior, feeling that he is not worthy of such an outstanding woman as Celine?Or maybe he, Mr. Ye, loves dragons and says he likes Celine, but actually doesn't like him in his heart?

If a beautiful woman proposes to him, he should gladly accept it. Why are you so cowardly?Can you still eat him?

Gu Xuyang himself didn't understand what happened to him.He seemed to split into two people, one half shouted "You're fucking hot! Are you a man!", and the other half cried "Don't let's wait and see!".If this goes on like this, he is afraid that he will have a mental breakdown!

He walked along the road alone, his mind was full of thoughts, and he didn't pay attention to his feet.So when he kicked something soft and fluffy, he was so startled that he nearly flipped over across the road.

"Meow!" The thing he kicked yelled angrily, and flew away with a whoosh.Gu Xuyang took a closer look, and shouted in his mind that something was wrong—isn't that the Cleopatra in the uncle's shop!

"Don't run! Don't run! Cleopatra! Come back, Cleopatra!" Gu Xuyang hurriedly chased after him, and at the same time complained why his uncle gave the cat such a weird name. Where are you?" Everyone knows that you are looking for a cat, but if you call "Cleopatra, where are you", enthusiastic passers-by will immediately call the police and send you to a mental hospital.

Cats have four legs after all, and can run faster than Twolegs.However, Gu Xuyang had learned martial arts anyway, and his kung fu was not wasted. With one kick, his whole body jumped up into the air and landed in front of the cat.

"I can't run away this time!" Gu Xuyang chuckled and stretched out his magic palm towards the cat.But he underestimated Cleopatra's flexibility, and saw the cat twisted and slipped out from under his hand at an incredible angle!

"What kind of metamorphosis is this? Are you a fucking alien creature?"

When Cleopatra ran away, she still had time to turn her head and grin at Gu Xuyang, as if mocking his ignorance of the softness of cats.

However, its triumph did not last long.A slender hand with purple nail polish suddenly appeared above the head, and with a light scoop, Cleopatra was picked up, while the other hand pinched the skin on the back of the cat's neck.Cleopatra kicked her legs in the air, as if recalling the fear of being picked up by the cat mother when she was a cub, she never dared to move again.

"Many, thank you..." Gu Xuyang chased after him out of breath, "This, this is my cat, thank you for helping to catch it——Why are you here?!"

The one who caught Cleopatra was none other than Celine, who was as glamorous as the real Cleopatra.
