Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 196: Be diligent

Views:

After Zheng Tan watched Xiaoyouzi walk into the school, he ran back, and when he came to the intersection just now, he found that the suspicious person was no longer here. After looking around and walking to the artificial lake, Zheng Tan saw the man.

The man was sitting on a bench by the lake, talking on the phone. There were no people around him. Most of the students went to class at this time. Those who didn't have classes took a nap in the dormitory and didn't go out. So looking around, no one was walking around the artificial lake.

Zheng Tan approached from behind quietly and got under the bench, intending to hear what the man was talking about.

"Why did I suddenly change my mind? I haven't finished my investigation yet... I was warned? Those people are still in business... Okay, I know they have the final say in this place, and they will leave here immediately... How about the sickle... Okay, I'll go over there. Help him... ah, a dying person can't be settled!"

Zheng Tan listened to this man and knew that it was not a good thing, but he couldn't hear the details from it. I couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone clearly, but I could only roughly feel that the person on the other side was in a bad mood.

Even if this person wants to leave, this potentially dangerous person should not stay here. However, before he leaves...

The person sitting on the bench finished the phone call, looked at the surrounding scenery, and then got up and walked to the lake. He just found that there are many fish in the lake, and these fish are very daring. It is estimated that they have long been used to being caught. People are watching, even if there are people standing by the lake, they swim around calmly.

Zheng Tan looked around, making sure that no one was coming, and no one would pay attention to this side, so when the man walked to the lake to watch the fish, he rushed over and jumped up and kicked the man's back.

When the man walked to the lake, he paid attention to his surroundings, but did not find anyone approaching, and his vigilance became weaker. He was leaning over to look at a large red carp swimming over, and suddenly a force came from behind him. Then planted in the lake.

Because it is an artificial lake of the school, it is not very deep for safety reasons, but after a long time, the silt on the bottom of the lake has become thicker.

When the man fell into the lake and stood up after tossing a few times, the water in the lake only reached his waist, but he was soaked all over, and he still had a mobile phone in his hand. He looked around angrily, trying to find out who was behind the black hand, but unfortunately, he glanced around and found no one walking nearby, but someone farther away heard the movement here and looked over.

After Zheng Tan kicked, he immediately ran and hid in the woods. The trees here couldn't hide a person, but a cat could still hide well. Then, Zheng Tan watched the man come out of the lake quickly, his trouser legs. It was full of mud, and left with a gloomy face.

In the next few days, Zheng Tan would pay special attention every time he wandered around the attached primary school, and he did not find the figure of that person. There were at most a few suspected thieves walking around. That was a common occurrence. Zheng Tan did not He cares too much. Compared with that person, Zheng Tan feels that the thief is less of a threat. Because he had seen a trafficker, Zheng Tan felt that the person should be different from the trafficker, and he didn't know what he was doing, but he was definitely not a good person.

The night before the performance in the auditorium, Zheng Tan was lying on the sofa thinking about what it would be like tomorrow. The performance started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiao's mother had asked for a good leave. Jiao Yuan had a quiz, but the leave was rejected by Jiao's mother. However, Jiao's mother borrowed the DV from Qu Xiangyang, who was in the opposite door, and filmed it for Jiao Yuan to see. Although the attached primary school also had filming and live broadcasts on campus, it was on the overall level. Jiao's mother only wanted to shoot Xiaoyouzi and Zheng Tan. At the time, she was playing with DV, familiar with the operation.

"Hey, Mom, what's wrong with Black Charcoal these days? He seems to be very worried." Jiao Yuan nibbled at a popsicle and asked.

Jiao Ma's attention shifted from the DV to Zheng Tan, looked at it, and said, "It's probably because of tomorrow's performance, it's going to be on stage, it's the first cat in the school to perform on stage."

Jiao Yuan bit the popsicle, "Isn't it already shooting a lot of commercials, what are you worried about?"

Jiao Ma: "...the cat's mind, who knows."

Zheng Tan listened to them, but his ears moved, too lazy to react otherwise. Two days ago, he was thinking about the person he kicked in the lake. Although the person didn't seem to be around, and maybe he didn't interact with Zheng Tan anymore, but sometimes, Zheng Tan recalled the person from the lake. When I got up and left, my eyes were gloomy, and I felt a chill. As for today, I'm just thinking about tomorrow's performance, not worrying about anything. I've shot so many commercials earlier, so I'm thick-skinned.

The next day, those who performed in the morning basically did not attend class, and went to the auditorium to rehearse, to get used to the stage in advance, and to have a rehearsal by the way. I usually don't see anything during rehearsal, but as soon as the props are changed, this feeling comes immediately. Many of these props were made by the students themselves, and at most the parents helped.

The parents of the students who stood on the side playing music were watching from below, holding boxes with musical instruments in their hands, smiling and looking at their children with pride.

The rehearsal was generally good, and no one had any trouble. The overall feeling was okay, but when Zheng Tan appeared, some people present were surprised for a while. However, the official performance in the afternoon was much more stressful. The audience was full by then, which was very different from the empty performance in the morning.

The program of Xiaoyouzi and her class is ranked fifth. Among the first five programs, four are song and dance performances. Their program is the first drama category. I don't know if the score will be higher.

The people who changed clothes were all sitting in a locker room, some reciting their lines and some chatting casually.

Zheng Tan looked at the little grapefruit next to her. She was sitting in a chair with props next to her. When she came on stage later, she had to wear this cylindrical paper "shell". The background board, with purple bauhinia painted on it, looks very heavy. In fact, it is still bearable for these students. After all, it is only made of paper, and the weight bearing problem was considered when it was made. Even so, Zheng Tan looked very distressed during the rehearsal in the morning. It was really hard for these children to wear such a big "shell" on such a hot day.

In fact, Zheng Tan himself is not much better. He is wearing a silver cloth made of plastic paper, and he has to put on a fool mask when he is on the stage. I wonder if the beasts in these children's hearts are all like this. Stupid image.

The little grapefruit who was sitting there quietly had a slightly serious expression, pursed her lips, and tugged at the hem of her clothes. After all, this is the first time on stage, and it is a performance in the auditorium. Even if you just stand behind as a background, there will be psychological pressure. There was a first-grade child who cried out before he came on stage, and his makeup was covered in tears. Later, he didn't change it, so he performed on stage with that flowery face.

Zheng Tan walked over and patted her hand, indicating that she should not be too nervous.

Xiaoyouzi's expression softened, she loosened the hem of her clothes, and tidied up the stupid clothes on Zheng Tan's body.

Feeling that Xiaoyouzi's mentality was well adjusted, Zheng Tan looked at the other students in the room. Especially the protagonist sports committee student sitting in the corner.

The kid didn't feel nervous at all. He crossed his legs and read the lines while picking his nostrils. Zheng Tan looked at this guy and digging quite coolly. After picking his nostrils, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he wiped his nostril-picking finger on the "saber" and continued to dig.

Zheng Tan: "..." This kid actually wiped his booger on the "Saber"! ! Nima, you must not let Xiaoyouzi touch that "saber"!

At this moment, the door of the room opened, and Yue Lisha, the "general planner" who went out to watch, strode in, and the others hurriedly asked about the performance of the previous programs. The scores and rankings will be announced after all performances are over. Even if the rankings are not known now, the general situation should be able to be seen.

"That's it." Yue Lisha briefly said the first three programs, and now the fourth one is in progress, and it will be their turn next.

"The peacock dance performed in the fifth grade was very good." Xie Xin said.

"What's so good? All of them are painted like snake spirits!" Yue Lisha said disdainfully.

Zheng Tan glanced at Yue Lisha, this girl is purely a sour grape mentality. Because she wants to play the leading role, Yue Lisha can't wear heavy makeup, she has to wear a silver-white wig, and use crutches to play a sick old lady. In fact, Zheng Tan felt that he could play the protagonist's grandmother like this.

And when Yue Lisha was in trouble with sour grapes, the sports committee member who was picking his nose hit the gun.

"You actually dig booger! It's disgusting!" Yue Lisha said with disgust.

The sports committee members who were caught were not embarrassed at all, "Didn't you read the XXX magazine that said that 1/4 of people pick their nostrils once a day; 1/5 pick their nostrils 5 times a day; and 1/4 of the people pick their nostrils once a day. Suspected of suffering from 'nostril-picking obsessive-compulsive disorder', the time spent on nose-picking is as high as 15 minutes every day... What kind of expressions do you have! Don't dislike it, to be honest, everyone ate booger when they were babies . However, I have a question, why is booger salty?"

Zheng Tan: "..."

Classmates around: "… "

Just when everyone looked embarrassed, and some people were thinking, a young but calm and serious voice sounded.

"Because there is a layer of lush cilia in the nasal cavity and the mucus attached to the nasal cavity, they can intercept harmful substances in the air. The mucus is mainly composed of mucin and inorganic salts, and the main components of the latter are potassium and sodium. The taste tastes salty, so the booger is salty."

Classmates around: "… "

Zheng Tan looked at the little grapefruit whose expression was still slightly serious and talked freely, and had a moment with the alpaca, and then thought: Are there too many popular science magazines ordered by Jiao's father at home

"It sounds so profound." The sports committee member nodded and was about to ask some questions, but Yue Lisha knocked him down with a prop cane, "Hurry up and memorize the lines, don't forget the words and talk nonsense, it's coming to us soon. !"

"Isn't it just a few words? Besides, this kind of word can be freely used temporarily." The sports committee did not care about the authentic.

Because of the interruption of the sports committee, everyone's nervousness has eased a little. In addition, the head teacher who was waiting there when they entered the stadium encouraged them and promised to give them a few reward books at that time, and also let these easily satisfied children. Morale is high.

In just 20 minutes, the applause and laughter did not stop, especially the protagonist classmates. The applause from below made the child feel like he was beaten when he turned somersaults. When I was excited, I turned several times in a row, and there were parents shouting "Okay!" below.

There was also a classmate who played the villain monster wearing a dinosaur suit before he fell to the ground and played himself on the spot. He was more technical in "death". It is estimated that he watched Ultraman beat the little monster.

The judges sitting in the front row laughed, "All of them can be made."

After Zheng Tan appeared on the stage, it also triggered the following discussion.

"Hey, what about animals, monkeys or cats?"

"I look like a cat, with a black tail and cat ears."

Sitting below, Jiao's mother was even more delighted, and said to a few parents she knew next to her, "That divine beast belongs to my family too!"

Even a few judges sighed that the planners of this show "really have good intentions", and just based on this comment, the score will not be low.
