Strange Life of a Cat

The layout of the attic is more like a simple living space, the kind that can be directly occupied by people. It is well decorated. The old lady obviously did not regard this place as a place to store sundries. There are beds, tables, bookshelves, and There is a bathroom with a small space. I heard that it was originally renovated for the grandson to live in. Later, the grandson went abroad and no one lived here anymore.

Staying here at night, you can see the night sky through the windows on the top of the slope.

Therefore, regarding what Dad Jiao said, Feng Baijin and his mother’s first thought was that the landlord was making excuses. However, Feng Baijin’s mother was really satisfied with the house. What mattered most to her was not how big the house was or how luxurious the decoration was, but how big the house was and how luxurious the decoration was. Taste, she had seen several rental information provided by the agency before, but she couldn't arouse much interest. They had many such houses in neighboring provinces, and she became tired after seeing too many, and this was the only one. Make her feel satisfied.

Feng Baijin obviously also thinks that this place is good. There is no cold atmosphere under the luxurious decoration, which makes people feel like home.

Isn't it just a loft with a sloped roof? Two floors here is enough. There aren't many people living here anyway. His parents will go back to the neighboring province soon and won't stay here for long. At most, a few people will be left behind. Just taking care of his life here.

After further discussion, we were ready to sign a contract. The price was set at 20,000 yuan. Feng Baijin said that the rent here should be 30,000 yuan. The price of 20,000 yuan was raised by Jiao’s father. The reason for the reduction of 10,000 yuan was mainly because he hoped that by then Zheng I wish I could have someone take care of me if I came here to rest. In this regard, Feng Baijin didn't think there was any trouble. It was just a cat, and it should only need to provide food and drink occasionally.

It has to be said that Feng Birkin thought of this matter too simply, but when he realized it, it was too late. He didn't know that there was a kind of trouble in the world called the landlord's cat.

When negotiating the price, Father Jiao and Mother Jiao didn’t need to say anything. Feng Baijin thought the price of 20,000 was too cheap, so he specifically mentioned the few ornaments in the house, telling Father Jiao not to take them away, but to put them up. inside.

When I went home in the evening, Mother Jiao was still saying that if the monthly rent was 20,000 yuan, the money to buy the house would be back within a few years. Only now did Mother Jiao really realize why they bought this house at such a low price. The house will be said by Yuan Zhiyi to be pie in the sky.

After the freshman semester started, Zheng Tan went to the villa several times. Feng Baijin had been living there for several days. In addition to him, there was also a couple in their fifties living there who were responsible for taking care of Feng Baijin. Zheng Tan heard that Similar to the butler's uncle calling Feng Baijin Master Baijin, Feng Baijin expressed his annoyance at this title, but the butler uncle said that it was always like this on TV, and now rich people do it, no matter how many times Feng Baijin said it, he would not Change your words. The aunt seemed very capable and took good care of the inside of the villa. She even took care of the plants in the backyard, sweeping the floor, cooking, washing clothes.

Feng Baijin didn't like the word young master very much. He only went to elementary school when his family started to rise. After elementary school, Feng Baijin's life changed drastically as he became rich and became a rich man. When his classmates were very precious about the repeater machine, he already Holding an ultra-thin imported Walkman, while everyone was still showing off with the Walkman, he was already holding an MP3 worth several thousand dollars. It’s just that Feng Baijin is not that particular. For example, at this time, he is wearing beach pants. , stepping on flip-flops, with this girl's temperament, flip-flops worth hundreds of yuan can still look like a street stall selling goods for a few yuan. Feng Baijin was really committed to changing Feng Baijin's taste and temperament. Unfortunately, he couldn't change it no matter how hard he tried. It could only be infiltrated from some details of Feng Baijin's life. A typical example was this renting incident. He could tolerate cats in the attic. The occupation is mainly for the sake of the house.

Even though Feng Baijin's parents really hoped to change their son's temperament, which outsiders thought was a bit rustic, unfortunately they never succeeded. Feng Baijin was their only child and they couldn't bear to be cruel. They used to say a few words occasionally, but now they don't. What did you say?

Many people have said that Feng Baijin is very vulgar. From taste to pursuit, he is very vulgar. His pursuit of class is too low. What's the point of picking up school girls in school? You should go to celebrities.

However, Feng Baijin didn't care at all about his vulgarity. He always said that this is not vulgarity, but down-to-earth. As a human being, how can we live without living? We have accumulated virtues in our previous lives and are still reincarnated as human beings to enjoy blessings, not to suffer.

What made Zheng Tan satisfied was that when he went to the attic, he found that the attic had been taken care of. Even though the attic was just for Zheng Tan, the cat, the aunt still went there often to clean it and did not touch the furnishings in the room. Nothing missing happened.

However, Zheng Tan doesn't go there often. During this period, he sometimes goes out for a walk in the evening. One day, he suddenly decided to go to the old building area to have a look. Now Zheng Tan sometimes walks to the lakeside villa. , sometimes I go to the old street to see the old man playing the erhu on the overpass. Thinking about it carefully, I haven’t gone to the old building area for a long time.

Part of the old building area has been demolished, and part is still to be demolished. However, there are a lot fewer people. It is estimated that only the last group of people are still here, but they won't be able to stay for long.

Zheng Tan came to the area that had not yet been demolished. He had never been here before. He jumped on the incomplete wall and climbed to an empty building.

Zheng Tan looked at the area that had been demolished. He had once taught the man who abused the cat a lesson with a beer bottle. Li Yuanba used to walk there with peanut candies. In the blink of an eye, two years later, this area was completely destroyed. It's almost dismantled. After demolition, within two years, modern high-rise buildings will appear here. The old building area only exists in those old photos. Only those who will recall this place will live here and have a deep understanding of this area. Lao Lou has very deep feelings for those people.

Sometimes, the city is built so fast that memory can’t keep up. You need to stop and think before you can remember what it was like here before.

There is a streetlight where Zheng Tan is standing. It looks like the people who have not moved here have pulled the string themselves. You really need to pay more attention to this road, otherwise you will trip over it.

While remembering the old building area, Zheng Tan suddenly heard a noise. Come down from the height and follow the direction of the sound and walk past the incomplete wall.

Not far from the streetlight, a kitten was flapping around with small bugs. It looked like it was less than a month old. It was thin and small. It stumbled a few times when walking quickly and could not run smoothly. , fluttered once and rolled twice, but still had fun, not noticing any other movements around him.

After the kitten fluttered for a while, its paws hooked on a snakeskin bag. The snakeskin bag was pressed by several heavy bricks. The kitten's paws hooked on the hanging surface of the bag. The kitten's paws were The control is not very flexible. Once hooked, I can't get rid of it. It's useless to twist it left and right, and even pull my claws hard.

I don't know whether to say that the quality of the snakeskin bag is too good, or to blame the kitten for being too weak. In short, Zheng Tan looked at the stupid look and felt worried for it.

After squatting on the wall and watching for a while, Zheng Tan jumped off the wall and walked towards the kitten.

Only then did the kitten realize that a strange cat was approaching. It looked at Zheng Tan with some vigilance. The claws hooked on the snakeskin bag tightened even more, but they couldn't break free. The kitten screamed anxiously. A few times, the sound sounded a little strange to Zheng Tan. It was different from the sounds of the kittens in the pet center, and it was also a little different from Xiaomi's.

It is probably due to the difference in breeds that the difference in calls is caused. Zheng Tan didn't think much about it.

However, when Zheng Tan got closer and took a sniff, he found that the smell of the kitten was a bit familiar. While thinking about who the smell was, he helped the little kitten take its paws off the snakeskin bag.

The freed kitten ran a few steps away from Zheng Tan, then stopped, looked back at Zheng Tan, barked, and then slowly walked towards Zheng Tan.

Zheng Tan was not in a hurry to leave. He simply squatted there, wondering who the smell belonged to. While Zheng Tan was thinking, the kitten came to Zheng Tan and tentatively touched Zheng Tan with its paw. He slapped his arm a few times, probably because he felt that Zheng Tan was not a threat, so he got bolder and started to flutter around Zheng Tan.

Just when Zheng Tan remembered who the smell of this kitten belonged to, his ears twitched, he stood up and looked forward.

At the corner not far ahead, a cat that was a lot bigger than Zheng Tan walked out of there. It flattened its ears and looked at Zheng Tan. It made a warning sound in its throat. Although it was very afraid of Zheng Tan, it still went to Zheng Tan. Zheng Tan walked over step by step, baring his teeth and growling as he walked.

After the cat appeared, the kitten that was fluttering next to Zheng Tan ran over there, meowing as it ran, as if it was coquettish.

Zheng Tan looked at the cat not far from him and sighed in his heart that this cat was getting worse every time.

The cat baring its teeth at Zheng Tan was the same big leopard-print cat that met Zheng Tan twice and failed miserably.

Many female cats are quite tough, not to mention those tigers and leopards and other cats that live alone. In a pride of lions, it is the female lion who is responsible for hunting most of the time. For example, among ordinary cats, Li Yuanba, Heimi and others are also very tough. In many cases, Zheng Tan will not treat the other person as a gentleman just because they are female cats, because they may beat you until you can't take care of yourself in the next moment, like this leopard cat. , Zheng Tan would have died long ago if he had given in.

The world of animals is simple and crude, where the weak eat the strong, and there is no such thing as a gentleman. Because of this, Zheng Tan always ignores the gender of cats and dogs when he encounters them. For this big leopard cat, if he hadn't seen this kitten, Zheng Tan would not have remembered that this guy was actually a female. Yes, anyone who saw his ferocious look in the past would find it difficult to offend.

Speaking of cruelty, Zheng Tan took a closer look at the big leopard-print cat. The reason why he lamented that each time he saw the other person, his life became worse and worse each time. Now, the big leopard-print cat no longer had the arrogance it once had. He looks extremely arrogant, and he doesn't have the look that once made people want to buy it at a high price at first sight. There were several scars on its body, which ruined its overall beauty. There was an obvious gap in one of its ears, and there seemed to be something wrong with its legs. Although it was not obvious when walking slowly, Zheng Tan could still see it.

When Zheng Tan was observing the big cat with leopard print, and the big cat was also wary of Zheng Tan, the kitten that originally ran next to the big cat turned around and ran towards Zheng Tan, running quite happily. I didn't notice the weird confrontation atmosphere now.

So, when the big leopard cat roared, it suddenly stopped when he saw the little kitten, as if he was greeting the alpaca in his heart. You stupid, cowardly brat!
