After Zheng Tan returned to the base, he spent the whole night thinking about what happened to the cat.
According to those onlookers, the head of the house would open the windows for ventilation during the day, and then lock the windows at night. After all, there are so many specimens that are not well-made, and the smell is not to mention the fact that the door is closed for a long time, and many gases are harmful.
Zheng Tan also observed when he turned to the window sill at the time. The window of the owner's house was not an ordinary one that would be broken when smashed. Jiao Dad and the others also said that the wild cats in the mountains usually come out in the morning and evening, so That cat will choose to pass by the owner before closing the window and door at that time of the night, and will not come out during the day, so it will have a chance at this time.
People have made various speculations, but no one has mentioned the cat.
No one knew what happened in that room before. Zheng Tan's intuition should have something to do with the cat, but he didn't know how the cat did it. In theory, many wild animals are afraid of fire. Isn't that cat afraid
Zheng Tan couldn't understand.
The next day, Zheng Tan still went out with the trainee team. Several people in the team were also discussing the fire in a certain house yesterday. It was finally determined to be an accident. There were a lot of reasons. It sounds possible, but Zheng Tan was skeptical. , it was a coincidence.
Zheng Tan hadn't figured it out yet, but he smelled a familiar scent halfway through the walk. He looked around, and all he could see was a forest and weeds. Even if there were small animals hiding inside, as long as they didn't move, here people can't find it.
Now that the sun is shining, it has not entered the real wild area, and the wild mammals have not even seen a mouse.
but…
Zheng Tan recognized the smell in the air again, and it was indeed the cat.
It stands to reason that with the cat's wild survival skills, it won't be so close to the trainee team.
The people around didn't react in any way, they kept walking past that place and gradually moved away. Before going too far, the leading teacher asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.
Zheng Tan didn't stay there and ran back.
"Black charcoal, don't run around." Jiao Ma said.
"It's probably going to poop, right?" Jiao Yuan said.
The people around were stunned, and everyone didn't care, including the Jiao family. However, Dad Jiao frowned and glanced in the direction where Zheng Tan left. He didn't need to run back when he pooped. What did this guy find
Zheng Tan ran back to the place just now, and followed the smell to find it there.
Even if Zheng Tan deliberately kept his footsteps light, there were too many weeds around, and there would be a slight squeak when walking inside, which should be detected by animals with sensitive hearing.
Zheng Tan walked over there slowly, keeping his ears open to pay attention to the surroundings. In the wild, he wouldn't dare to care too much, so he was careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years.
The wind direction has changed a bit, and there is a trace of blood in the breath.
After Zheng Tan approached, there was a low warning roar from behind the bushes over there.
That cat is right, but I don't know what happened to it, and such a warning sound is a warning to Zheng Tan, if you go further, you will be welcome.
Zheng Tan stopped, looked at his feet, picked up a small clod, and threw it there.
There was a start, and the warning sound became louder.
Zheng Tan has a good ear, and when the small clod hits there, he also hears the sound of the iron chain.
When I came to the base for a meeting in the hall that night, the people on the stage told everyone that there may be some traps for trapping animals on the mountain that have not been removed, such as iron clips and the like. Please be careful and try not to Going to a place where weeds are dense, I heard that something happened before.
Although he knew that the other party was trapped by the trap, Zheng Tan was still vigilant, changed direction, and approached over there, paying attention to the cat's movements while approaching.
Soon, Zheng Tan saw the situation there.
The cat's leg had a not-so-big iron clip, and the trap was not set up shrewdly. You could also see a not-so-thick iron chain wrapped around a nearby tree, unlike Zheng Tan's seen before. nailed to the ground. The grass here is not thick. The cat dragged the iron to hide in the grass. Due to the limitation of the length of the iron chain, it could only hide half of its body in the grass. In terms of concealment, this The cat did a good job, but it was dragged down by this trap, which exposed its conspicuous color.
Zheng Tan observed the cat not far from it. It was a cat with red stripes. The pattern on its body was similar to that of a civet cat like Da Chuan, but the fur was slightly thicker and the body was larger. When Zheng Tan saw this cat, the first thing he thought of was the red animal that Dad Jiao had talked about with some teachers, but Zheng Tan wasn't sure. For a certain breed, Zheng Tan knew that he had good luck after becoming a cat, but it was only occasionally good. He was not sure that he really met the red animal that Dad Jiao and the others said they could treat a red mouse like a panda.
However... Zheng Tan thought yesterday that the cat's IQ should be good, but now he doubts it. Such a clumsy look is a trap created by a child on the mountain. How did this "hardened" cat get in
The iron clip on the cat's hind legs is very new, and it's not too big. According to what Zheng Tan has heard from walking around the base these days and listening to the corner, this is a toy for children trying to catch a rabbit and a weasel. The hunters in the mountains will not only use such gadgets. Besides, many villagers around here have long been notified that such traps are not allowed in a certain area. In previous accidents, it was the hunter who almost broke his leg. The kind of big iron clips we set up.
Looking at the cat again, I didn't pay attention just now, and it was dazzled by the red hair. Now Zheng Tan realizes that half of the cat's beard is curled. Judging from what Zheng Tan has experienced personally, it is estimated that it is the same as last night. It's fire related, or why did it burn half of its beard like this
Zheng Tan speculates that this cat has never had a beard burned before, but when it was burned at first, its perception was a little weaker.
Anyway, it's a fact that this guy got caught.
The cat Jin stared at Zheng Tan, Zheng Tan took a step over there, and it roared a few times, probably because it was caught, no one believed it, and was wary of everyone, unlike the one who saw Zheng Tan a few days ago The attitude of not being close or alienating at that time.
Look at the iron clip on the cat's leg. Although it is not big, it is of excellent quality. Sometimes it is a trouble if the quality of things is too good.
Zheng Tan wanted to try to help break the clamp, but before he could lift his claws, he came over there. If Zheng Tan hadn't retreated quickly, he would definitely have been caught.
Sure enough, cats in the wild are grumpy, and they don't recognize people when they turn their faces.
It is estimated that this cat has also been trapped here for a long time, and is a little tired. After Zheng Tan tried a few times, the guy's movements were a little slow. , Zheng Tan slapped it in turn.
It was estimated that it really couldn't hold it, and after Zheng Tan's slap, the cat fell to the ground, but its eyes were still fixed on Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan was going to try it one last time, and if he didn't let him touch it, he would just leave it alone.
When Zheng Tan's claws hit the iron shelf, the cat's legs shrank, but it did not wave its claws at Zheng Tan like before. Although he still stared at Zheng Tan, the threat in his eyes was much less.
Only now realize that I am kind? ! Zheng Tan cursed in his heart. This guy was caught before probably because he hated himself, and now he found that he seemed to want to help him, so he didn't wave his claws.
Although it was the stuff of the children in the village, it still took some effort for Zheng Tan. This clip was not the same as the rat-proof rack that Zheng Tan had seen before in his hometown.
After breaking the iron clip, the cat quickly moved its legs away from the clip, and roared a few times without licking the wound. It was different from the meowing of ordinary domestic cats. The big cats are domineering, but they are also full of momentum.
Zheng Tan looked at this situation and suddenly felt that this guy was more like a young man who had just vented his anger after being tricked once.
The Jiao family over there was already calling out Zheng Tan, and it was probably because they were in a hurry after seeing Zheng Tan pooping for so long, and hearing some kind of sound that seemed to be a beast.
Zheng Tan looked at the cat's wound. The wound was bleeding just now, but now it's better. Looking at its movements, it doesn't seem to matter, at least the bones are not broken.
After feeling that there was nothing serious, Zheng Tan ran to the place where the trainee team rested. When Zheng Tan came back, the intern team continued to set off. Hearing a roar just now, the leading teacher suspected some beast, and they didn't dare to stay here any longer.
"Did Hei Tan get into a fight with a beast just now?" Jiao Yuan asked as he walked away.
"Shouldn't be, our cat is not a sheriff, so it's not that aggressive." Jiao Ma said.
Although he didn't think it was possible to fight, Zheng Tan was picked up by the Jiao family for inspection to be on the safe side.
"It has blood on its paws." When Xiaoyouzi wiped Zheng Tan's paws with a water-soaked tissue, she found suspected bloodstains.
Several people nervously pinched Zheng Tan's paw and watched for a long time, but found no wounds, and everything was normal when walking.
"I guess it's bullying another animal." Xiaoyouzi said.
"Can this cat in our house bully wild animals?" Jiao Ma suspected that she felt that all animals in the wild were fierce. Even if it was a wild cat, it was a wild beast, not a cat. Compared with wild cats, domestic cats are of course more fierce than wild cats.
However, seeing that his cat was really uninjured, he didn't say anything.
It's just that the people of the Jiao family put their minds at ease earlier.
That night, the four of Jiao's family didn't go out. They were chatting in the room about the harvest of the past few days. Zheng Tan was about to go out through the window. The Jiao's family was used to this guy going out for a walk for two hours every day, and they were going to ask something. , I heard a sound similar to a cat howling outside. Although it was slightly different, it should be a cat. There are always a few cats whose meows are different from others. This is not uncommon in Chuhua City.
Others can't hear it, but Zheng Tan can still hear it. This is the red-striped cat. The cat's meows are varied, and the meows are different in different moods and situations.
Although the language was not clear, Zheng Tan felt that the cat's purpose should be him, so he raised his feet and jumped out of the window.
"Hei Tan went out on a date?" Jiao Yuan chuckled.
"What nonsense, read your book!" Jiao Ma slapped Jiao Yuan and reprimanded.
Even after raising a cat for such a long time, it is impossible to judge whether it is a male cat or a female cat who is meowing from a cat meow, but the Jiao family prefers to believe that their cat has an appointment with a girl. However, they don't know that their cat "dates a girl" for a few days.
