Perhaps sensing that Zheng Tan was looking at it, the cat squatting on the tree turned its head to look at the intersection.
It looks a bit like a stray cat, with some smudges on the fur on its body, and several scratches of different lengths above the eyes. The healed wounds leave blood-colored traces, which are especially conspicuous on the white fur. These injuries should have been left over from the previous two days.
Zheng Tan didn't know what caused the scratch to the cat, but as long as the longest wound extends one centimeter down, the cat's left eye is estimated to be abolished. On the bright side, the cat is lucky.
The cat just glanced at the person and cat at the intersection, perhaps not feeling threatened, and continued to stare at the window on the second floor of the house.
Er Mao, who was next to him, took the last bite of the egg pancake into his mouth and smacked his mouth, "What is that cat looking at? Could it be that there is a 'harmonious' scene in it?"
Zheng Tan shook his ears, didn't bother to pay attention to Er Mao, raised his feet and walked over there.
As Zheng Tan approached, the cat looked at Zheng Tan vigilantly again, and even if it wasn't staring at Zheng Tan, its ears kept moving slightly, and it was quite alert.
He didn't climb the tree, Zheng Tan went there just to see what the cat was looking at, but Zheng Tan was disappointed in the end, he didn't need to climb the tree, standing here Zheng Tan could see the second floor of the house The situation of the window, because the window on the second floor was closed, and was tightly covered by the curtain, it was impossible to see what was in the house at all.
Looking at the cat on the tree that continued to stare at the window, and then at the window covered with curtains, Zheng Tan shook his head, it was really inexplicable.
Not staying here to find the reason, Zheng Tan returned to the intersection and continued to walk forward, with Er Mao still following behind.
Er Mao is not bored. He has never walked the street here, but now he is very interested in the local snacks on this street. Although it is long past the time for breakfast, many shops and stalls are not only for Early, so, Er Mao went all the way to buy and eat. There was a family of mung bean cakes that were good, and Er Mao directly bought two packs and carried them.
Some people on this street are already familiar with Zheng Tan, and some even take the initiative to say hello when they see Zheng Tan. Although they don't know Zheng Tan's name, they occasionally say something like they would to their pets, or talk to the person next to him. People talk about this black cat and guess who it is.
There are many alleys in the old block. There are many narrow alleys that can only accommodate two or three people walking side by side, and these alleys are also full of various stories. Zheng Tan has been walking on this street for so long. It's been a lot. Fighting, extortion, drug addicts, cheating, etc., involve a wide range of ages, regardless of gender, age, and industry.
Perhaps, this is also a part of the Hutong alley culture
Just like this moment, Zheng Tan moved his ears and looked at a narrow alley. There was a recess in the alley, which was used for piling garbage. Two young men in their early twenties stood there, talking to the people in the recess.
Zheng Tan listened to the voices inside and the intermittent conversations. He wasn't ready to meddle in his own business. He was about to leave when he found Er Mao walking into the alley. He didn't go inside, just took two steps, and then Er Mao leaned against the wall next to him, carrying the sundries he bought on the road in one hand, and eating a mung bean cake in the other.
Zheng Tan jumped up the fence, ready to see what the foodie Er Mao was going to do. Are you brave
The two young people over there had already received the forced money, counted them, and walked out of the alley. When they looked up, they found a person standing at the entrance of the alley. Putting the money in his trouser pocket, the two looked at each other and continued to walk out, ready to take out the guy.
Er Mao wiped the debris around his mouth with his thumb, then lifted his foot and walked in.
One of the youths was simmering and was about to speak harshly. Before he could say anything, he found that Er Mao had already rushed in front of him. The next moment, he collapsed, and he didn't even have time to see what the person in front of him was doing.
Another young man was about to take out a knife, but before the knife appeared, Zheng Tan heard a soft "click", and the man's "ah" screaming stopped abruptly.
There was only one face to face, and even Er Mao only used one hand, and in the blink of an eye, the two fell down.
Zheng Tan looked at the two people lying motionless on the ground, and shook his ears. It turned out to be Wei Ling's junior brother. This shot was really neat.
The man who was standing in the recess in the wall of the alley heard the sound and stretched his neck to look out, just in time to meet Er Mao's sight, and then the child retracted his head again, did not dare to stand up at all, I guess he Still praying that Er Mao would not stare at him, he didn't want to be with the two lying on the ground.
Er Mao just glanced at the garbage dump and didn't look any further. Walking to the two people lying on the ground, Er Mao reached out and took out the two men's pockets and trousers. The money he took out was a small one thousand, and then he put it all into his own pocket, not even a 50 cent coin. However, he still looked calm and confident.
Zheng Tan: "..."
What the hell!
Black eats black? !
Well, Zheng Tan just thought about whether Ermao would return the money for righteousness. Sure enough, he still overestimated Ermao's character.
After the money was put away, Er Mao patted the dust on his coat, and without looking at the two people lying on the ground and the people at the garbage dump, he turned and walked away, leaving only the one who stuck his head out from the garbage dump to watch the situation in the alley. The student stood there with a complicated face, feeling like he was about to cry without tears.
After walking out of the alley, when Er Mao looked at the surrounding wall, he found that the black cat on the wall looked at him with contempt.
"Why, it doesn't look good to the eye? Do you think I should pay back the money to that little kid?" Er Mao snorted and said, "That kind of kid is not a good thing at first glance, maybe he has never been more expensive than him. Forced out of weak children."
Although Er Mao's character is not very good, he has to admit that he sees people very accurately. Of course, maybe this was just Er Mao's excuse for his behavior. Zheng Tan was too lazy to take it seriously. He just had an impression of the student standing in the garbage dump. He had seen this man block Fu Lei with his partner before, but it was a pity that Fu Lei was a tough guy. However, the two of them partnered to block Fu Lei, but they failed to block Fu Lei. Instead, they were beaten by Fu Lei without fail. This child's luck is really not very good, isn't there a saying: If you come out and hang out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
There was no emotional change because of what happened just now. It was still the same as before. Er Mao looked at the surrounding shops and stalls with some curiosity, and went to buy whatever he liked.
Zheng Tan walked all the way, passed Jiao Yuan's school, stood by the window and watched for a while, and was spotted by a few students sitting in the back row. Before the teacher on the podium became angry, Zheng Tan hurriedly left. Who knows if the teacher on the podium knows whether Jiao Ma will complain, so it's better not to stay here.
After that, Zheng Tan went to the construction site of Ye Hao's project to take a look.
Er Mao followed behind. Although he didn't show anything on his face, he had already sighed in his heart several times. Especially when he saw the eyes of those on the construction site looking at Zheng Tan, Ermao realized that this cat is very popular.
Following Zheng Tan to get acquainted with the street, seeing Zheng Tan walking back, Er Mao did not intend to stay outside any longer, so he followed back.
When he passed the previous intersection, Zheng Tan looked in again, the cat on the tree was no longer there, and the window on the second floor of the house over there had also been opened. Driven by curiosity, Zheng Tan jumped up the tree and looked inside.
There was a man in his thirties in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses. He was sitting by the window with a cup of coffee at the moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing the black cat jumping up the tree suddenly, the man was stunned for a while, and then he showed a little smile.
Zheng Tan felt that the person's eyes were a bit strange, and the smile on his face was nothing different to others, but Zheng Tan felt that his whole body was hairy, and he always felt that this person showed a strange sense of contradiction and disobedience.
Zheng Tan felt right, the man still had the smile on his face, but the hand holding the coffee cup suddenly raised, and poured the hot coffee in the cup towards Zheng Tan.
The tree was not far from the house, and some branches had reached the window. Fortunately, Zheng Tan was vigilant and avoided it, but there was still a little splash on his back, not much, and he couldn't feel the hot temperature, but Zheng Tan could smell the coffee smell brought by that little bit of coffee. Thinking of what the man on the second floor did, it was even more unpleasant.
On the other hand, he smiled happier because of this.
After Zheng Tan ran some distance, when he looked at the window on the second floor again, the man was no longer by the window, and he probably went to pour coffee again.
Pulling his ears, Zheng Tan glanced around.
There is a stone under the tree.
Looking at the window on the second floor, there was still no one there. Zheng Tan approached the tree carefully to prevent another splash from the second floor.
After coming under the tree, Zheng Tan pushed the stone a little further away, because there was still a wall between the tree and the house, which would interfere with Zheng Tan's actions.
When he felt that the distance was just right, Zheng Tan stretched out his two front paws to hug the stone, and then threw it at the window on the second floor.
I let you splash!
Go to your uncle!
Stones hit the glass of the window, followed by a sound of glass shattering.
Zheng Tan threw the stone and ran away, feeling much better after hearing the sound of glass breaking.
Although Zheng Tan was very angry just now, but also because there was Er Mao looking at him at the intersection, so when Zheng Tan threw stones, he did not stand up and threw a grenade with one claws, but chose two claws. Qi went into battle with the way of throwing. Although it was still surprising, it was better than the former.
Er Mao was surprised, but he didn't speak, and gave Zheng Tan a thumbs up.
However, Er Mao's heart was not as calm as he appeared on the face. What he saw just now was really surprising. Fortunately, Wei Ling had given him a vaccination, and some of his own experiences were not too surprising. He also thought of a sentence his master said: revenge is an instinct, human beings are like this, and cats are also.
When returning to Chuhua University, Zheng Tan saw the cat with black and white flowers as he passed several closed stores. There was a little gap between the two stores. I don't know who put a cardboard box at this point. In the interval, the cat with black and white flowers stayed inside, with a disposable paper bowl next to it. At the bottom of the paper bowl were some meals that were not known for a few days, but there were fresh-looking steamed buns on top.
Looking at the cat up close, Zheng Tan always thought that the cat's nose was stuck with a black smudge, but only now did he realize that it was just its own pattern, which was shaped like a grain of rice.
The cat had no obvious malice towards Zheng Tan and Er Mao, but was just a little wary, especially when Zheng Tan approached the paper bowl, it made a low whining warning sound.
Seeing this, Zheng Tan didn't come any closer, but when Er Mao took out a lunch box he bought earlier and leaned over there, the cat didn't bark, but was just a little wary.
The box lunch was already cold, but the meaty smell inside still made the cat feel a lot more energetic, but even so, it didn't eat it right away, just kept staring at Er Mao.
Ermao looked around and saw a small piece of brown crayon thrown by a child not far away, Ermao picked it up and wrote a few words on the cardboard box: "I can catch mice, I can look after the house, and I want to take care of it. "
A cat with a simple line is also drawn behind the word.
