Strange Life of a Cat

Zheng Tan’s third year of life was nothing special. Jiao's mother took her two children and one cat back to the Jiao family's old house to celebrate the New Year. During the New Year, she also went to Mr. Gu's place to play for a few days.

On New Year's Eve, Dad Jiao called. If it was quick, he would be back in the second half of the year. However, he was not sure. No one could say for sure when it came to the research project.

A year without many ups and downs, this was Zheng Tan's impression.

Lying on the balcony and yawning, Zheng Tan looked into the distance from the balcony on the fifth floor. After the term started, the school began to be full of joy again. It was spring time again, and some trees began to sprout buds.

This is Zheng Tan's third year here. After getting used to it, he actually doesn't have many other ideas. Sometimes even if he doesn't want to admit it, he still has to compromise with the stubborn old man fate. Otherwise, how to deal with it? Do you want to torture yourself? Why worry too much.

Zheng Tan rubbed his chin on the flower pot next to him and rolled around in boredom. Thinking of what little Youzi said when he got up this morning, Zheng Tan ran into the bedroom and jumped on the dressing table to look at Jiao Ma's dressing mirror. Look, it seems... a little fatter.

It's easy to gain weight during the Chinese New Year. Zheng Tan really didn't go out much this year. He ate and slept all day long. Plus Zheng Tan's big appetite, it would be strange if he didn't gain weight.

During this period of time, I have been staying at home and don't really want to go out. Zheng Tan attributes it to spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue. However, this means I need to go out more and move around more. Winter is over, so there is no need to continue to gain weight.

Zheng Tan did not go out directly from the side door of the East District Courtyard, but walked for a while in the school. As I was passing by an alley, I happened to hear Zeng Jing, the only female graduate student under Jiao's father, complaining about the recent inappropriate behavior of some teachers in the college.

Just like what Yi Xin complained about years ago, graduate students without the support of their bosses don’t have much confidence to speak in the academy. One is reflected in the competition for public resources. Even if they are public resources, they must be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and prioritized for use. Resources are limited and funds are limited. Whoever has the ability will use it first and occupy it.

But now, Zheng Tan listened to Zeng Jing's complaints, and it seemed that there was more to it than what Yi Xin said, otherwise Zeng Jing would not have lamented that the little devil in the temple is strong, but the Chi Qian is full of bastards.

Although Zheng Tan didn't know much about things in their college, he also knew from eavesdropping on Zeng Jing and Yi Xin's complaints that these students were sometimes bullied by other teachers in the college. The senior brothers and sisters in the college suppressed the juniors with the tacit approval of their instructors. It is not uncommon for junior sisters to wait, and competition among classmates in the same school is always present. Those who engage in scientific research may not lose to those who are engaged in politics. These days, those who are dedicated to learning regardless of trivial matters, or someone If you support someone, you will either become cannon fodder for fighting and a ladder for some people to climb up, and the proportion of the rest that can follow their original wishes is too small.

However, it seems that Father Jiao is not one to swallow his anger and suffer losses. He will wait for the fall to settle the score. Zheng Tan has full confidence in his cat father.

Zheng Tan still planned to go to the affiliated hospital today. He was not very familiar with this place.

When he came to the hospital, Zheng Tan couldn't help but think of the old lady who had a good impression when he came here a year ago. He wondered how the old lady was doing now and how her body was recovering.

Jumping onto the fence, Zheng Tan walked along the high fence. Even in winter, he could see many green yards, and now there were many new greens, full of vitality.

The weather is also good today. Some patients who are recovering well but can't stand still in the ward will feel much better when they go out and walk around in the company of their family members and look at the surrounding scenery.

Zheng Tan didn't plan to search carefully, he just glanced at it while walking along the wall. Considering the taboo incident of the middle-aged woman a year ago, Zheng Tan felt that it was better not to be too ostentatious in the hospital.

Although he didn't take a closer look, his steps were relatively hurried. To Zheng Tan's surprise, he was stopped before he took a few steps.

At first, Zheng Tan didn't think he was being called. It wasn't until The black cat on the wall was called several times that Zheng Tan looked over there.

The person who stopped him was a young nurse, not the one Zheng Tan had met years ago. Next to the young nurse, there was an old lady sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed around by the young nurse.

The person in the wheelchair was the old lady Zheng Tan had met years ago. When Zheng Tan looked over, the old lady waved to him.

Compared with the impression from a year ago, the old lady now looks a lot thinner, but her complexion is better, and the look in her eyes when she looks at people also makes people feel better unconsciously.

I think it was the old lady who saw Zheng Tan but couldn't scream loudly, so she asked the young nurse responsible for pushing the wheelchair to speak out.

The young nurse looked at Zheng Tan with doubts in her eyes. She knew in her heart that many people in the hospital were taboo about pure black things. The last time a person visited a patient, he was wearing a black suit and was used by the patient. After he smashed it out, the patient said that the man had sinister intentions and cursed him for a long time. But now, it is really puzzling that this old lady is so enthusiastic about a black cat.

There were also patients walking around. Seeing the old lady like this, they asked her their doubts, but they did not get close. People who are particular about this aspect are afraid of causing something bad to happen to them.

Old lady, my surgery went so smoothly, thanks to this cat. Regardless of whether the truth was like this or not, the old lady did mean to clear Zheng Tan's name.

There were people around who believed her, and some who didn't believe her. He didn't care what others thought. Zheng Tan felt that since the old lady wanted to protect her, he had no reason to directly slander her. Since the old lady waved him over, Zheng Tan jumped off the wall and walked over there.

The old lady wanted Zheng Tan to sit in her arms, but Zheng Tan didn't do it and just walked with her beside the wheelchair.

The young nurse slowly pushed the old lady along the road. Perhaps because there was a black cat following her, the young nurse deliberately avoided crowded places so as not to cause trouble for other patients. After all, not everyone can tolerate a black cat. Here it is.

After walking along this side for more than half a circle, the young nurse was about to push the old lady back. Zheng Tan looked at the tiredness on the old lady's face and knew in his heart that the old lady was going to rest, so he decided to accompany her after walking around for a while and then leave. . I heard that the old lady's surgery went well and her recovery was very satisfactory. Zheng Tan felt relieved. However, having said that, this was just a chance encounter with a familiar passerby. Zheng Tan was not overly prepared. close.

The circle was almost completed, and after walking a few meters, they reached a fork. Zheng Tan was about to turn the corner and leave, but when he looked up, he found three people standing at the fork.

There were two men and one woman. The woman Zheng Tan had met when she came here that time before. She was the middle-aged woman who was very repulsive to him. Standing next to the middle-aged woman should be her husband, the old lady's son as the young nurse said. That man looked quite steady, and he should be the type of person who usually stands at a high place and gives orders.

At this moment, the couple was talking to a young man in his twenties. Judging from the appearance of the couple, the young man should have some status, otherwise he would not be treated like this by the couple. This was what the people around him, including the young nurse pushing the wheelchair, thought when they saw this scene.

Your son is here to see you again. The young nurse saw the person standing at the fork and said with a smile. She knew that this old lady had a very capable son. She heard that he was the boss of a big company. He was usually very busy, but whenever he had time, he would come to the hospital to see the old lady, especially during the surgery. God, almost always with me. If it weren't for the old lady's insistence, this man would have sent more people to take care of him. He had previously planned to arrange surgery abroad, but the old lady refused. Overall, he is a filial son.

The old lady was also very satisfied with her son, and the smile on her face became deeper.

However, Zheng Tan, who was standing next to the wheelchair, felt a storm in his heart again. He just glanced at the couple and stopped paying attention. His focus was on the young man.

That young man, how should I put it, was wearing a suit and leather tie, his hair was meticulously taken care of, and he had put a lot of thought into his clothes. He had a decent smile when talking to the couple, not humble or ostentatious. The first thing people noticed when they saw him was The eyes will definitely think that this person must have been taught by a big family with a very good background. Even if he does not have a big family background, he is still a person with realm, height, knowledge, quality, responsibility, goals and contributions. , social elites who have achieved results.

However, in the eyes of everyone, this social elite who is knowledgeable and courteous, Zheng Tan seems to be a high-level liar with different appearances and god-like acting skills.

Yes, this person is the fake rich second generation with burgundy hair that Zheng Tan met years ago when he followed Er Mao to trace the traces of Senior Brother Hetao. This man had been beaten on the face that time, and I couldn't see clearly what he looked like. I thought about the ID photo on the fake ID card in Brother Walnut's hand, and compared it with the way he looked when I saw him now. The difference between the two It's too big.

Zheng Tan took a closer look several times. Although there was no evidence to prove that this person was the red-haired person last time, Zheng Tan just felt that this was the same person!

Sometimes, a change of temperament or a change of hairstyle makes a completely different person. However, now Zheng Tan knows that temperament can also be faked. And this person was able to transform without leaving any trace, and used his acting skills so superbly that Zheng Tan had to sigh again, it was a pity that this person didn't act.

However, if this person was really a liar, could he have deceived the couple so easily? Judging from the young nurse pushing the wheelchair, Zheng Tan did not think that the couple would trust people easily.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zheng Tan discovered a detail. Although the middle-aged woman didn't say much, she just stood aside and listened to her husband talking to the young man in front of her, but her eyes glanced at the man's cufflinks intentionally or unintentionally.

Many people may not pay much attention to cufflinks, but men with a certain social status pay great attention to these small details. A small cufflink can become an obvious sign of some tasteful women's discernment, and even Someone has said that in this era without aristocrats, cufflinks can make yuppie men elegant.

Zheng Tan was once considered a rich second generation and had entered some circles. He had attended many parties. Before a certain party, he heard a playmate who was helping him choose a dress talk about cufflinks. Because of this, Zheng Tan Only when you sigh will you know some small places that you usually don't pay attention to. Now, the middle-aged woman's behavior made Zheng Tan remember these details.

Jiao's father often told Jiao Yuan that details determine success or failure. This high-level liar's success may be due to taking care of these details to perfection.

Seeing a certain liar chatting with the couple, Zheng Tan was once again filled with admiration.

These days, no matter whether you are a street sweeper or a social elite, you have to specialize in an industry and develop branch skills at the same time. Who would have thought that this man was a second-generation fake rich man a few years ago, and turned into a social elite a few years later. That appearance and temperament tell people: I am very cultured, I am very cultured, I am a high-level social elite who has received excellent education!

It is precisely because we have known the other side that the contrast is so great. Zheng Tan squatted there and kept staring at the man.

After the three of them finished talking, the social elite came over to greet the old lady, and seemed to casually ask about the black cat squatting next to her. Knowing that the cat was just an accidental encounter, the man did not ask any more questions. .

When leaving, the social elite glanced at Zheng Tan again, and then walked to a building in the hospital, saying that he was going to get the physical examination report.

Zheng Tan wanted to follow that person, but unfortunately, that person went straight into the hospital. He didn't know when he would come out, and he didn't know if he would go to other departments to check something, so he didn't spend more time here and wandered around. Then he went back.

(4.27) Today, a book friend asked me privately about the corpse-eating beetle. In fact, there has always been research on modifying animals and plants for certain special purposes, but it is a question of whether it is formal or legal, and many of them will not be made public. . As for this type of beetle, if you are interested in criminal investigation, you can watch CSI Season 12, Episode 11 (appears in about three minutes), which will be more vivid. The beetles there are after radiation mutagenesis and biological modification. of white-bellied beetles.
