Chen Zhe didn't expect to see this black cat as soon as he opened the door. When he was boiling water to make tea, he warmed a glass of milk and prepared to replace the one on the balcony overnight. He later learned by chance that not every cat can drink milk, but seeing this black cat drinking happily every time he came, he insisted on this habit.
Seeing Uncle Lamei waving at him and raising the paper cup with milk in his hand, Zheng Tan hesitated.
going or not
Zheng Tan pondered.
Before that, his decision was to take a glance and leave, stay away from here. But now, looking at Uncle Lamei's kindly and eagerly looking eyes, Zheng Tan's curiosity, which was suppressed to the point of only a mile, jumped up again.
What does Uncle Lamei want to do
Zheng Tan jumped up slowly and got into the balcony.
The balcony is still the same, the carton, the cushion, the paper cup with the milk.
Because Zheng Tan came over, Chen Zhe didn't put the paper cup with warm milk outside, turned around and entered the room, and put the milk in front of Zheng Tan, who had jumped on the desk.
Zheng Tan jumped on the desk just to broaden his vision a little bit and see the changes in the house.
Compared with what I saw in the past few times, this room, no, it should be said that the whole room has undergone great changes.
The books on the bookshelf are gone, and the shelves on which the items are displayed are also empty. From here, Zheng Tan can still see that the other two rooms in the house are open, but now there is nothing left, and there are a few more floors in the living room. A large sealed box.
On the desk is a cup of winter plum blossom tea. Judging from the heat, it should be freshly brewed tea. The jar for the wax plum blossoms is already empty. This is the last of the tea brewed by the wax plum blossoms. There are not many wax plum blossoms in the community now. With the advent of spring, the temperature rises, the winter plum blossoms will withdraw from people's sight.
There was an upside-down foreign book beside the teacup. If he hadn't experienced that incredible thing recently, Zheng Tan wouldn't have associated the seemingly pleasant scene in front of him with the former.
Looking at the person in front of him again, Zheng Tan realized that compared to seeing Chen Zhe a few times before, the current Chen Zhe has changed a bit. Although he used to look quite gentle before, Zheng Tan always felt that this guy The whole body is shrouded in a heavy shadow, and this heavy feeling does not disappear even when he smiles. But now it is like the sky that has dispelled the haze, and it has become clear and pure.
People are always more natural when dealing with seemingly harmless animals.
Chen Zhe sat back at the desk again. He stared at Zheng Tan for two minutes. When Zheng Tan started to feel unhappy, he finally looked away and explained what he had done. Chen Zhe just briefly mentioned some things, mentioned three murder cases, but did not elaborate on the technique and process of each incident, especially the last incident of Lai Er, but simply summarized it as "Its a trick".
Zheng Tan listened to his words and thought, as he had guessed, Lai Er's ending was caused by this person, but how did Chen Zhe do it
trick? trick? trick? magic
and then
Then, there is no then.
After Uncle Lamei said this in English, he picked up the teacup, continued to pick up the cup of tea on the table, took a sip, and continued to talk about other things.
Zheng Tan: "..."
This makes Zheng Tan very disappointed. Although the scene looks really scary and weird, it is impossible to say that if you are not curious, it is like after witnessing a great magic trick, people will wonder, what the hell is this going to do? what about
Therefore, what Zheng Tan is most curious about is how Lai Er was burned, and what kind of traps did Chen Zhe play in advance, but unfortunately Chen Zhe didn't say anything.
"That piano has already been donated, and the large boxes in the living room are full of books, and they are also going to be donated. It doesn't matter whether the original foreign language or Chinese books are all anonymously donated to a few middle school books in remote mountainous areas. Museum, where some teachers and students who teach there may be able to use…”
Chen Zhe continued to speak.
Just, why did he suddenly say this to a cat? It was inexplicable.
Zheng Tan couldn't understand.
Not in the mood to drink any milk anymore, Zheng Tan looked around boredly, then put his eyes on the upside-down book beside the teacup. It was an original foreign language book, not in English. Zheng Tan didn’t know which language it was in. The focus of Zheng Tan’s attention was not what the book was about, but the painting on the cover of the book: In the church, a teenager confesses to the priest.
Many people repent to get rid of their spiritual suffering. Is Uncle Lamei Chen Zhe also repenting
wrong! The point is, if this guy is really confessing, why is Mao confessing to a cat? Confession is a fart!
Zheng Tan looked at the cover of the book, then looked at Chen Zhe who was sitting on a chair talking to himself, then looked at the cover of the book, and then looked at Chen Zhe...
Lying in a groove!
Zheng Tan suddenly had the urge to lift the table.
Nima, Lao Tzu is a cat now, not a priest. What are you doing to a cat? !
However, Chen Zhe doesn't seem to be pure repentance, but rather like he simply wants to share the psychological pressure. Also, this kind of thing cannot be told to outsiders, and even the most trusted person may not be able to tell it. As for the reason why Chen Zhe chose a cat to talk to, Zheng Tan can roughly guess that this is not the first person Zheng Tan has encountered to talk about pressure to animals to relieve his psychological burden. Obviously, to people, cats can't speak, they can't understand human words, and even if they do, they can't tell a second person what they hear.
It's just that Zheng Tan is that special case. Not only can he understand, but he also has a certain degree of understanding of this matter!
"ashes to ashes, and dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection unto eternal life..."
After Chen Zhe finished speaking, he was silent for a while, then took a deep breath with a relieved smile on his face. Looking up, he saw the cat squatting on the desk staring at him, looking surprised. Chen Zhe smiled again. He had decided to bury these things in his heart, and he never thought about saying these things, and even if he did, he never thought that he would say it to a cat. Sure enough, it will be a lot more fun to say what you hold in your heart. He thanked the cat, and if it wasn't for the cat, he would have carried those words that he had suppressed for so long into his future life.
Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Zhe took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket and shook it in front of Zheng Tan, "Black cat, you say, what should I do with this thing? For many people, it It's very important, and it can even lead to betrayers, but I don't want to carry it with me all the time, and when I see it, I will think of that nightmarish past."
Zheng Tan was actually very impatient. After listening to Chen Zhe's nagging so much, he didn't elaborate on what he wanted to hear. He was still holding a pocket watch in front of his eyes and shaking his eyes, which made Zheng Tan tired. Tan was even more upset, so he directly raised his paw and patted the swaying pocket watch beside him.
Chen Zhe didn't hold things tightly, and he was a little distracted when talking. He didn't want to get any advice from a cat, he just said it casually. Suddenly, he felt the chain being pulled on his hand, and when he looked at it, the pocket watch had been detached from his fingers and was lying on the desk.
He didn't seem to expect this to happen. Chen Zhe was stunned for a while, then looked at the pocket watch lying on the table next to him. After a few seconds, Chen Zhe smiled relievedly, "According to your suggestion, so be it."
Zheng Tan is a little confused, what advice? What is "this"
