Strange Life of a Cat

There are always some monkeys who don't like to go down the mountain. During the few days that Zheng Tan stayed at Pei Liang's house, the few monkeys he met on the mountain had never gone down the mountain. However, when Zheng Tan went up the mountain, those monkeys I will give Zheng Tan something.

In the beginning, it was the little monkey who handed over fruits that Zheng Tan hadn’t eaten. Zheng Tan was with Pei Liang and Ermao at the time. The little monkey was still wary of strangers. Compared to animals, it seemed to be more wary of people. Be vigilant and fearful, so the little monkey ran away after putting something in front of Zheng Tan.

This kind of fruit is edible, I have eaten it once. Pei Liang walked over to have a look and said. He also gave it to Qi Da in the past. He tried to eat it, and it was not poisonous, but for him, he didn't like the taste very much, maybe it was just delicious in the eyes of monkeys.

Hei Lian, I'll store this for you first, and I'll give it to you when I go back. Er Mao came over and picked up the fruit, looked at it, put it in the bag he was carrying, and said to Pei Liang, How could that little monkey like it just now? Hanging an empty drink bottle around your neck? Do your monkeys on the mountain still have this habit?

Pei Liang shook his head, I don't know.

It is true that Pei Liang had never seen monkeys on the mountain before. Regardless of whether the monkeys on the mountain or down the mountain were curious about many things and were eager to learn, he had never seen a monkey with an empty plastic bottle hanging around its neck before.

Ermao and Pei Liang had seen this little monkey with a plastic bottle last time when they went looking for Zheng Tan, but Pei Liang thought that some tourist hung a bottle for the monkey on a whim, and when the monkey got interested, he would see it. I would throw away the bottle, but I went up the mountain these days, and every time I saw that little monkey, the empty plastic bottle was still hanging around his neck. It can only be said that this little monkey likes to do this so much that he is not tired of it.

However, in my opinion, Black Coal should have helped the little monkey. Monkeys are also emotional creatures. When I was talking to some students at the base of the university, I heard them say that if Monkey A helped the monkey B, the latter will use delicious food in return, thus establishing a tolerant and cooperative society. In addition, if there are two people, for example, characters A and B, the monkey takes The probability of food is almost equal, and it is hard to see who they have a better impression on, but if B refuses to provide cooperation to A and appears selfish, many monkeys will choose to avoid the food provided by B after seeing it. Some people say, This is because they feel disgusted towards B, evaluate each other's character and ability from an emotional point of view, and feel that B may not be easy to get along with. Our family is full of emotions, and they are very good at it.

Speaking of which, Pei Liang pointed to Zheng Tan again, and continued: Since that little monkey chose to provide food to Heitian, one may be because Heitian helped it, and the other possibility is that, according to the behavior of that little monkey just now, I speculate that it probably feels that Black Coal is easier to get along with, and it is showing its favor.

Ermao looked at Zheng Tan, who was at a loss, and said, Heitian seems to get along well with many animals.

And Zheng Tan thought, what on earth did he help those monkeys, other than twisting a bottle cap, there was nothing to do, let alone providing food to the monkeys, Zheng Tan never brought food with him when he went up the mountain. For many animals in the wild, isn't food first?

They didn't continue to worry about this problem, and the group continued to walk up the mountain. Er Mao and Wei Leng went up the mountain today to help Pei Liang deal with things on the mountain, so they didn't bring their wives and children with them, and they walked faster. Finish the work early and go down the mountain early, and then have a good time. Get some sleep, they plan to leave tomorrow.

When going down the mountain, I ran into the little monkey and several other big monkeys. After seeing Zheng Tan, they yelled at Zheng Tan, and some of them also came to give things, such as some fruits. , there is the same kind of fruit that the little monkey gave before, and there are other wild fruits that grow on the mountain in this season.

What are they chirping about? Ermao asked Pei Liang.

Greeting. To be precise, they are greeting Black Coal. Pei Liang explained.

Heitian's animal relationship is really good. After a pause, Ermao smiled and shouted to Zheng Tan: Heitan, it seems that these monkeys treat you so well, why don't you just stay here and build a stronghold.

Zheng Tan ignored Er Mao, he gathered the fruits together and waited for Er Mao to collect them. There are several kinds of fruits that he has never eaten before, and he will try them later when he goes back.

Ermao also helped Zheng Tan take several photos with those monkeys. One monkey was probably used to taking photos with tourists on weekdays and was familiar with the camera. Scratching his head to make a pose, and then hugging Zheng Tan's neck like two brothers.

Zheng Tan pushed the monkey away.

By the way, Senior Brother Pei, what did you bring with you when you went to Master's place last time? Er Mao asked.

It's nothing, just some homemade wine, some local specialty snacks, and some photos. I can't take too many things with me. Besides, the old man doesn't lack anything. He will send ordinary things over. Dislike. Pei Liang said.

Then what should I do? Should I continue delivering tables? Er Mao said.

You are the one who sent the most tables among the brothers, and you are used to his old man's habit of taking pictures of tables. Wei Leng, who was on the side, complained.

It's changed now. After all, I'm getting old. How can I split the table every time. If I can't split him, the old man feels shameful, so he doesn't shoot much. Ermao, you should give something else, if you really want it Delivering the table, you have to be scolded again, this time is different, before, you were the only one, it doesn’t matter if you get beaten, scolded and lose face, but this time with your wife and children, do you want to be criticized in front of your wife and children?” Pei Liang said.

Different from Wei Leng and Er Mao, Pei Liang used to take Qi Dada to run around, and went to the master's place several times, and even once Qi Dada was filming a TV series nearby, this time it was only because Er Mao and Wei Leng went there, He happened to be fine, so he just went with him.

This time Qi Da is going to recuperate at home, Pei Liang's wife will take care of the elderly, children and monkeys at home, and will not leave with him, and Pei Liang's eldest son and daughter are a little bit tight in their studies now, and they are being taken by Pei Liang. I went to the master a few times in the past, but this time Pei Liang didn't plan to take him with him, he only planned to take his youngest son with him.

Pei Liang's youngest son, Pei Jie, is about ten years old. Now it's Pi's time, and he hangs out with the village children and monkeys all day long. When Pei Liang is not at home, Pei Jie is like a little devil. Except for Pei Liang, he didn't listen to anyone.

Knowing that his father would take him out to play, Pei Jie immediately took the big travel bag and started packing. Because of his young age, he went out with Pei Liang much less often than his brothers and sisters, so it was rare this time that Pei Liang said that he would take him with him, and Pei Jie happily confronted the monkeys on the roof After howling for nearly half an hour, it was not until Pei Liang caught him that he was honest.

What made Pei Jie most happy was that traveling far meant that he didn't have to go to school, which is a good thing!

On the day of departure, Qi Da stood at the door with tears in his eyes, looking abandoned, if he hadn't been pulled, he would have gone into the car regardless.

Pei Jie dragged his bag and threw it into the car. When passing by the door, he raised his hand and patted the back of Qi Dada's uninjured head: You should stay at home and recuperate!

Er Yuan, say goodbye to grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and Qi Da. Er Mao said to Er Yuan.

Hearing this, Er Yuan poked his head out of the rear window, yelled at each of them, and waved his hands. Wei Xiaopang also poked his head out of the car in front to say goodbye.

And Zheng Tan, who was holding the fruit and chewing on it, poked his head out from the window next to the passenger seat, hooked his hand, and threw the fruit core he just ate at Qi Dada, and then ignored Qi Dada who was screaming angrily.

Waiting for the car to drive, looking at the mountains that are getting farther and farther away, Zheng Tan thought, I don’t know when I will come again next time. The last time I came was four years ago, so the next time, will it be another four years? or longer? Or, never again? As for the poor orchid on the mountain, we can only pin our hopes on that little monkey.

After the car drove out of the village and onto the road with few people, Er Mao put on a bluetooth headset and called his master.

Master, your dear apprentice is going to visit you! Er Mao shouted affectionately.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone before slowly answering: Who is there?

I, Senior Brother Pei, Senior Brother Wei.

Have you brought the child?

Bring it!

Where's the wife?

I brought it too, and I'm sitting in the back row! Senior Brother Wei and I are a family of three, and Senior Brother Pei brought Kid Pei Jie along.

Where's the cat?

I brought the black coal, and I will put the black rice at my mother's place for the time being.

Oh, all right.

After saying these words over there, Ermao heard the sound of Dudu's phone hanging up.

After taking off the earphones, Ermao said to Wei Leng and Pei Liang through the wireless walkie-talkie: We've attracted suspicion again.

It's not the first time. On the other side of the walkie-talkie, Wei Leng said, By the way, how old is Dashan now? Seventeen? Eighteen? I remember it has been many years.

It's almost twenty years old. It was there when I was a boy, but it was probably not yet an adult at that time. It looked about the same size as an ordinary cat. I really regarded it as an ordinary cat at that time. Who knows that it grows bigger and bigger, and blind people know that it is not an ordinary cat. Ermao recalled and said.

When I went there in the first half of this year, I saw it had a rabbit in its mouth. That doesn't look like a twenty-year-old cat. Pei Liang talked about his experience this year.

It's good to be healthy, otherwise the old master will be lonely again. Wei Leng said with a tut.

Didn't you say to find a partner for it? Er Mao was very interested in this.

I've looked for it. The master asked someone to help me find several of them, but they all drove them away after being together for a while.

Er Mao and his three brothers were chatting, Zheng Tan listened with his ears open.

Very early on, Zheng Tan was very curious about the master's cat in Wei Leng's mouth, but Wei Leng and Er Mao were not very willing to talk about that cat before.

Hearing that Er Mao said that the cat was almost twenty years old, Zheng Tan was really surprised. When I was in Chuhua City, I saw many old cats. Some of them could not jump when they were in their teens.
