In the first week of returning to the East District compound, Zheng Tan never left the house.
After the National Day holiday, Jiao Wei and his class also started. At noon, Jiao Wei picked up Xiaoyouzi and went to the small restaurant for lunch, and brought a copy back to Zheng Tan.
After the holiday, when Jiao Wei saw Zheng Tan, he didn't know what to say. If it was an ordinary cat, he might still laugh, but in the face of this black cat, he couldn't laugh, and he didn't dare to laugh.
Before, he didn't believe how capable a cat could be, but now, Jiao Wei was shaken. In October, no one really came to his small restaurant to ask for "sanitation fees" and the like, and no one came to find fault. His father said it might be because the time was not up, but Jiao Wei felt that it was not the reason, especially after going to the "Night Tower".
Open the door, put the lunch box on the chair, the black cat lying on the sofa yawns lazily, stretches, and then starts to eat his lunch.
After a week, the cat's beard grew a little bit, and it was better than when it was just cut, but Zheng Tan still thought it was growing too slowly. According to this rate, it would take more than a week for people to barely see it. Really the same as the original, it took longer.
However, after this beard cutting incident, Zheng Tan felt that the sensitivity of the beard he grew was much better than before. I wonder if it was because of his deliberate training during this time.
After coming back, when Zheng Tan was bored at home alone, he would look through the magazines that Jiao Dad subscribed to. Once, he happened to see an article in a not very formal magazine, which roughly meant this: There are scientists An experiment was done: after they kept the cat's eyes blindfolded for a period of time, compared with the normal cat without the blindfold, the former had more whiskers, and the average length of the whiskers was longer than that of the normal cat 5mm.
So some people joked that to make a cat with a beard recover faster, you can blindfold it.
Zheng Tan didn't want to cover his eyes, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that he could give it a try. Sometimes at home, Zheng Tan closes his eyes and uses the touch of his beard to judge what is happening around him and some objects he touches.
The article also said that in the dark, the whiskers have a very sensitive and rapid tactile effect, and cats can use it to identify invisible things.
Zheng Tan tried it, but he didn't know whether it was because he was too slow, or because the beard didn't grow well, and it was not as useful as the article said. However, none of these made Zheng Tan give up the idea of trying.
As a cat with only a half beard, a cat who can only hide at home and entertain himself, this is the fun he finally found after being so idle.
Anyway, there is no one at home most of the time during the day, so Zheng Tan can try it out with confidence. No one sees even if it makes a fool of yourself.
For example, in the afternoon, after the lunch break, Jiao Wei sent Xiaoyouzi to school, and he went to class himself, or went to the library for self-study, Zheng Tan jumped off the sofa, then closed his eyes, and began to maximize his senses to feel the surrounding Things and sensations caused by some slight movement.
The wind was blowing in from the balcony, and Zheng Tan was able to judge the approximate obstacle ahead from the surrounding airflow.
In addition to the beard, Zheng Tan also felt that there were some special places on the front paws. Some vibrations on the ground can be felt through the tentacles on the front paws. In the past, Zheng Tan didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems that cats can be so alert, and a little movement can make them respond quickly. It's not just because of experience, more Or some functions that have evolved from them themselves.
Zheng Tan now hopes to make more use of these discovered functions, and if he goes out in the future, it will also come in handy.
After the beard was cut, Zheng Tan's advertisement on Xiao Guo's side also stopped, and Xiao Guo called every few days to inquire about the situation, which was even more urgent than Zheng Tan.
But it's impossible to make a cat with a mutilated beard in a commercial, right? That should not make people laugh off their teeth, and even some ulterior motives may link the beard to cat food. There are always people in the world who take the opportunity to deduct shit from you. Therefore, even if he was in a hurry, Xiao Guo had to endure it.
To this end, Xiao Guo also found a lot of people to find a "secret recipe" to make the cat grow a beard quickly. Zheng Tan ignored him. Now he has just figured out the beard game, and he doesn't want to try other uncertain methods. Instead, let the whole beard fall off and play an egg, it's useless to hit the wall.
Every morning, when Zheng Tan gets up, the first thing he does is to touch his beard twice, and then look in the mirror, and Xiaoyouzi will measure Zheng Tan every day. Every beard has a record, and Xiaoyouzi uses a special notebook. It was recorded and everyone was relieved to see the growth of the above values. It's one thing to know a cat's whiskers will grow, it's another to actually see and be sure it's growing. Don't worry about it after that.
After playing the beard game, Zheng Tan came to the balcony, leaned against the pot of orchid, and squinted to bask in the sun.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of claws stepping on the iron net sounded.
Zheng Tan moved his ears and ignored it.
Many people travel on the 11th holiday, but the "General" is not at home. There are too many people traveling on the 11th, but the owner does not. Instead, he brings the "General" back to school. However, after all, "General" spends most of the year playing outside, wandering around in various nature reserves, anyway, they don't need money to play.
Seeing that Zheng Tan ignored it, the general paused for a while.
But Zheng Tan didn't squint for a long time when he heard the lowly voice from the balcony on the fourth floor diagonally below that had disappeared for a long time.
"Why are the flowers so red~Why are they so red~Hey~It's so red~It's like a burning fire~"
Red you uncle!
Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, turned around, and was about to go to Hui. Before walking, he went downstairs to take a look. He had no intention of looking, but found a familiar car driving in.
Paralyzed, why is Fang Sanye, a guy who is in charge of every day, here again
Fang Shaokang called Associate Professor Jiao Dad. Today he just drove from Beijing to Chuhua City. Originally, he just brought some seafood to the Jiao family. If there is no one at home, he will take it directly to Associate Professor Jiao's office. , However, knowing that the cat is at home, I came directly to the East District compound to take a look. It's just that on the phone, Associate Professor Jiao's tone was a little weird, which made Mr. Fang even more interested. What happened to the cat when he disappeared this holiday
After parking the car, Mr. Fang looked up at the fifth floor, his eyes were very good, and he just saw the tip of the black ear.
"Black charcoal, come down and open the door!" Fang Sanye shouted from below.
Zheng Tan dawdled for a while, but still opened the door and went downstairs to swipe the access card.
"Hey, I said what are you doing at home? Don't you usually hang around outside at this time..." Before the third master could finish speaking, he saw the black cat in front of him with half of its beard, and was silent for a while, Then crouch down and start laughing.
Laugh fart!
Zheng Tan ignored him, swiped his card and went straight upstairs.
"Wait a minute, let me take a breath!" Third Master Fang stood up and walked up with a bag, "I brought you some seafood as snacks."
Panting to the fifth floor, he put the bag down, Fang Sanye stood in front of Zheng Tan, took a good look at Zheng Tan's half beard, and then took out his mobile phone, ready to take a picture.
These days, the mobile phones used by people like Fang Sanye are more high-end, and the effect of taking pictures is good. But Zheng Tan is distressed, isn't it just a half-short beard? What's so strange? !
"Don't move, I'll take a picture for my daughter to see, hey, don't move, turn around and take a look..."
Zheng Tan directly took Fang Sanye's mobile phone away.
He picked up the phone, tried to make two calls, but it still works, put it in his pocket, Mr. Fang came to the water dispenser and took out a paper cup to get some water, then sat on the sofa and rested for a while, sighing to Zheng : "Should your beard grow out next month?"
Without waiting for Zheng Tan's answer, Fang Sanye continued: "It should grow back. When I was a child, I saw a tabby cat whose beard was burnt, and it will grow back in three weeks. You should be similar."
Zheng Tan: "..." Lao Tzu's beard burned even more!
"In this way, when will I have time to take you out to play next month, there are a lot of people with pets in that place. When I come to find you, you can help me socialize. There are just a few customers who like cats. If you're there, we can talk about business smoothly. Well, I'll talk to your cat dad later and set a time first."
Fang Sanye's self-questioning and self-answering mode lasted for two minutes, then he answered the phone and left in a hurry. It is estimated that the affairs in Chuhua City have not been dealt with, otherwise he would not be running around.
Even a giant businessman with such a status has a troublesome side. Entertainment is an indispensable part. It doesn't matter whether you are a junior staff member in the department or a big boss with huge sums of money, each has its own troubles behind the halo.
After Fang Sanye left, Zheng Tan looked at the calendar on the wall. In a month, the beard should grow well.
Wei Ling came over in the evening, just after the National Day holiday, and the day after Jiao's family came back, Wei Ling came over, but seeing Zheng Tan's half-bearded look and didn't want to go out, he didn't take him out to play. Today Wei Ling didn't actually have much hope that Zheng Tan could go to the night building with him, but he didn't expect that Zheng Tan really wanted to go out today.
When I'm in a bad mood, I have to vent. Zheng Tan is depressed, and Wei Ling comes just right.
In the car, Wei Ling looked at the cat in the back seat. The beard grew a little, but it was obviously only half. I heard that you are in a bad mood recently
With a sudden shock, Wei Ling had a bad premonition.
In the evening, Ye Hao, Long Qi and Leopard came to the "Night Building" to relax. The industry in his hands was not only the "Night Building", he was usually busy outside, and only came when he was free. Night Tower" listen to the performance of the East Palace and relax.
Before he came, Ye Hao received a report from his subordinates and knew that Wei Ling was also here, but he didn't know that Wei Ling brought the cat here, because Zheng Tan had been in his backpack and was not seen by anyone. He felt that he was seen by others. His half-shattered beard was embarrassing.
Ye Hao and the three came to the third floor, at the door of Wei Ling's private room, and saw Wei Ling squatting there smoking a cigarette.
"What's the matter? What are you doing here?"
Ye Hao said, and opened the door of the private room, and then, the harsh "magic sound" that had not been heard for a long time, resounded through the entire third floor corridor again.
