After lunch at Feng Baijin's house, Zheng Tan originally planned to play here for a while, watching Huzi fight against other cats in the community, but after seeing the chat records between Feng Baijin and his classmates, Zheng Tan still planned to hurry up leave home.
One of Feng Baijin's classmates lives in a neighboring city. When the two of them were chatting through a chat software just now, Zheng Tan saw Feng Bojin's classmate saying that there was hail and strong winds there.
It seems that the wind outside Chuhua City has also picked up, but there is no rain or hail. Zheng Tan has not seen hail here in the past few years in Chuhua City. He has heard of it in the outer suburbs, but he has never seen it in the urban area. Usually, it only rains in the urban area.
Looking at the sky, Zheng Tan decided to leave quickly, the sky was getting worse and worse.
After coming out of the lakeside villa area, Zheng Tan ran back.
A strong wind blew over, and some bicycles parked on the side fell down a row, and the green trees on both sides of the road were also bent, and the leaves swished.
Something was blown up by the wind and hit some parked electric cars and cars, making a high-pitched siren.
Zheng Tan didn't look at it, he just wanted to go back quickly. After returning, he wouldn't be afraid of the wind and rain outside.
When passing by the affiliated hospital, Zheng Tan thought of the little flower that was tied there.
Jumping on the fence and looking in, Xiaohua was still lying there, her eyes narrowed because of the wind blowing, and her hair was blown in a mess.
The guard was helping a patient in, ignoring Xiaohua's side. And at this moment, another gust of wind blew.
Kaka!
A tree near the guard room was blown down and broke off from the trunk, and the broken part was turned upside down toward the guard room.
Xiaohua stood up and wanted to dodge when she saw it, but because the rope was tied, she didn't break free. Fortunately, Zheng Tan saw that the tree fell a little to the side, so it wouldn't overwhelm Xiaohua.
But Xiaohua didn't know, it only saw the tree falling over here, and after struggling to break free, it struggled a few times, and with the stimulation of the fallen tree, it struggled even more, just like the Earn as if you were struggling. This time it was real, not a petty fight with Old Man Li on weekdays.
Such a big dog is really moving and has a lot of strength.
Xiaohua's dog leash was tied to a steel pole, and the steel pole was firmly fixed, and Xiaohua couldn't pull it. The broken place is where the leash and the collar are where the clasp is, and the clasp is detached from the leash.
Zheng Tan was still thinking of going down to help Xiaohua untie the rope, but Xiaohua had already broken the rope.
After breaking free, Xiaohua's first reaction was to run in the direction where the old man Li and the old lady left, but there were a lot of people there, so he was also on guard for the big dog Xiaohua, and didn't let it pass. After being driven away, Xiaohua went outside the hospital. Run away, since it can't get in the hospital, it will go home.
Seeing Zheng Tan at the gate of the hospital, Xiaohua immediately accelerated her pace and ran towards Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan jumped onto Xiaohua's back, hooked his hand around the collar on the dog's neck to stabilize, and then moved the collar, indicating that Xiaohua could go back.
With Zheng Tan around, Xiaohua didn't run around like he did before. Besides, he was led by the old lady these days, so he remembered the way.
As he was running, Zheng Tan noticed that it was starting to rain.
This is not a good phenomenon. If it rains, Zheng Tan doesn't care, but Xiaohua still has injuries on her body.
The wind is blowing again now, and it looks like the rainstorm is about to start soon. There is still a traffic jam at the T-junction in front. There are so many cars and people that the road in front is blocked so that the flowers can't squeeze through. There is an old lady who took the flowers after seeing them Drive away with an umbrella.
It's not good to delay like this, the summer rain won't give you too much time to react, maybe it will rain down in the next moment.
After thinking about the distance between here and the courtyard, although it is not far, it will take five minutes to run at the speed of Xiaohua just now, but I don't know if it can last for five minutes in this weather. If it rains right away, even if you stay outside for two seconds, you can be drenched in soup.
"Hey, over there!"
Someone shouted this way, but Zheng Tan didn't think about himself at first. The voice over there shouted a few more times, and then added "Mi-" after the words.
This is the common name for people here to call cats.
Zheng Tan looked over.
Not far from the door of a small grocery store, a middle-aged man stood there looking in Zheng Tan's direction, and when Zheng Tan looked over, he waved.
Zheng Tan hesitated for two seconds, but decided to take shelter from the rain first. The rain was already on a big trend, so he couldn't delay any longer, he had to be decisive.
Pulling the collar, he motioned Xiaohua to go over there.
Xiaohua was a little puzzled. She looked at the grocery store and then turned to look at Zheng Tan. She still walked over there as Zheng Tan meant, but with vigilance, she stopped two meters from the door of the grocery store and looked at her. People standing next to the checkout counter in a small grocery store.
"Come in." The man beckoned again.
The little flower does not move.
Zheng Tan jumped off the dog's back and walked into the store first. Sniffed and looked in one direction.
On the high shelf, a clean white cat squatted on it, looking down at Zheng Tan who walked in the door, his pupils shrank, his eyes looked sharp.
Zheng Tan ran out and pushed Xiao Hua into the store.
Xiaohua moved slowly into the store following Zheng Tan's strength, but she still had a sense of vigilance. After entering, I sniffed around, and then squatted near the door of the store, not going into the house.
As long as it doesn't get wet, it's fine, so Xiaohua's wound will not be a problem for the time being. If it is infected, it can deteriorate into a serious injury even if it is not a serious injury.
After Xiaohua entered the store, Zheng Tan looked at the person leaning against the cashier.
It seems that the boss is nearly forty, and his skin is a little dark. I don't know if it is natural or sunburned. With a face that looked very mean, biting his cigarette, he looked in the direction of Zheng Tan and Xiao Hua.
Generally speaking, when aunties and old ladies see such a person, they will tell their little grandson to stay away from such a person. There is no way, the face can make a first impression, and a person who is very friendly looks at first glance. It will also feel close, but it is another kind of treatment if you look fierce or look like the person in front of you with a sarcastic face.
However, for animals, faces have nothing to do with impressions, and if you are kind to them, you will also get close to many animals.
Zheng Tan saw the cat on the shelf just now, and felt that this person shouldn't be too bad. He and Xiaohua are just here to take shelter from the rain temporarily, and they shouldn't touch this person's interests, so they should be fine.
Moving his ears, Zheng Tan heard the voice and looked behind the shop.
A young man came out with a box of umbrellas.
"Boss, that's all, I tore up all the previous prices, and they're all 15 apiece... Fuck!"
The man was talking, and when he saw the big dog at the door of the squatting store, he almost threw the box of umbrellas in his hand directly to the ground.
"Old... Boss, where did the dog come from?" The young man looked scared and stopped approaching, holding a box of umbrellas and looking at the person beside the cashier.
"I called in to take shelter from the rain, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of dogs. I was bitten by a dog when I was a child. Since then, I feel that dogs are really terrible animals. I don't understand why so many people like dogs."
"Okay, put the umbrella there, and you can take a nap in the back." The boss said while biting his cigarette, his words were not clear, and he also had a clear dialect accent. If he was not familiar with the other dialect, Zheng Tan would also won't understand.
The young man understood, he had long been accustomed to this way of speaking. Quickly put down a box of folding umbrellas and slipped away, not forgetting to close the door leading to the back room, for fear of the big dog in front of the door getting in.
The store owner took out a pen and wrote something on a piece of white paper, then took the paper and moved the box of umbrellas to the door of the store. The piece of paper was hanging on a shelf above, with black and white characters and bold font— "Umbrellas and raincoats are available for sale, and the umbrella is at a special price of 20 yuan/piece."
If Zheng Tan hadn't hallucinated just now, the young man said that these umbrellas are priced at fifteen yuan when he came over with the box.
Twenty is still a "special price", it really is a very expensive price, and it is a profiteer.
The rain outside turned into a heavy rain in less than two minutes after Zheng Tan and Xiaohua entered the house.
The wind outside became stronger again, and as soon as I went out, I basically got wet.
The wind was too strong, and the rain would still drift into the house, so the owner closed most of the store's door, leaving only the one where the umbrellas were placed. The box is covered with a layer of cloth, which is waterproof, and there is no fear of rain falling into the box.
Not to mention, there are also many people who come to buy umbrellas and raincoats. Many of them hurriedly gave the money and took the umbrella and left. Of course, there are also bargains, but they will always be rejected in the end. Buying other small things will not let you pay a penny, in a word, it is not bargaining.
The store owner went inside the cashier and started to play with an electric fan. The desktop fans used by students are usually repaired by students in schools after the fans stop running, and some will be sold at a low price. The store owner should receive this one from the students at a low price. Come here, repair it and sell it for some money.
Bang!
Zheng Tan followed the sound and looked over.
Two young men with dyed hair and short-sleeved T-shirts with skull prints walked in. The sound just now came from the metal shelf they kicked at the door.
Both of them were soaking wet, and they wiped the flip-flops on the dry cardboard box next to them. They were swearing and saying something. Most people are quite afraid of this big dog.
After the two people took two umbrellas and some other things in the store, they came to the cashier.
"A total of seventy-two yuan and thirty cents, thank you," said the shop owner.
"It's so expensive, it's cheaper." The young man said while putting things into a bag.
"No bargaining, seventy-two yuan and three, thank you." The store owner said it again, and said nothing about the young man who put the things in the bag before paying.
"Hey, you old man, you are wasting your time. If you want to be cheaper, make it cheaper. I don't understand good words, right?" The young man took out a fifty-fifty piece of paper and patted it on the counter, intending to pick it up. People leave after passing things.
But the shop owner reacted faster, and before the man lifted the bag, he was twisted over and pressed on the counter.
"It hurts!" The young man's face was contorted, and he didn't know what was going on. The slightest movement caused severe pain, as if he was about to be twisted off.
"What are you doing?" Another young man said angrily, looking around, planning to get the mop, it's easier to talk with a stick in his hand.
"Wang!"
Xiaohua realized something, called out, and roared in her throat to the person who wanted to get the mop.
The man touched the mop with all his hands, and was frightened by the barking of a dog and shrank back.
The shop owner glanced at the person who wanted to hold the mop, then turned to look at the person who was pressing his hand tightly, bit his cigarette and leaned over, and said slowly, "Buy it or get out."
