As Ermao expected, just after the photo was sent, there was a call from there. Jiao's father and Jiao's mother took turns to fight. Ermao explained it for a long time, took several pictures and sent it, and the other side was a little more relieved.
In this regard, Ermao can understand that no matter who has a cat with a tight baby in his house, he will not calm down even if his body is pierced with needles. Moreover, when Ermao was taking the photo just now, he specially dealt with the light problem, so that the needles on Zheng Tan’s body can be seen. It's more conspicuous. In this way, the impact on Jiao's father and Jiao's mother will be even greater. It is no wonder that the two over there will have such a big reaction.
Ermao called the Jiao couple and explained that Zheng Tan, who was pierced with acupuncture, actually felt fine. He didn't feel much pain, and he didn't feel as comfortable as he imagined. Also, there was nothing wrong with the piercing. reaction
What did Uncle Lin say before he got the needle? First relieve Zheng Tan's sleep condition, and then use acupuncture to check whether there are other hidden diseases. Now it seems that it is still the same as his previous judgment.
"Are you ill?" Wei Ling asked. Now that the needle has been inserted, Uncle Lin should also judge if there is any problem.
Uncle Lin shook his head silently, before saying after a while, "Looking at its physique, I really have a hard time believing that this is a cat that is about to be classified as middle-aged and elderly. It's unbelievably strong."
"Isn't he really sick? He was really sick at the time. He slept for a week, and the veterinarians at the pet center couldn't do anything at all." Er Mao had finished calling, and he also gave the Jiao family the result of Uncle Lin's diagnosis. Said, but after hanging up the phone, he still asked his question.
Uncle Lin continued to shake his head.
Only Zheng Tan knew that this was probably related to his biggest secret. It's as if no normal cat has the strength similar to that of an adult. Moreover, Zheng Tan's body can feel it himself. Apart from the sleep problems for more than a year, he has always been dreaming from time to time in a trance. I didn't feel any other health problems. Ermao was a little bit jealous when he commented on Zheng Tan, but most of it was correct. Zheng Tan can really eat, drink, run and dance. It's been seven years, but the feeling is still the same as before. The same as when the cat was soon.
The so-called old state can only be related to the age and then compared to the cat, and the rest cannot be explained.
After finishing the needles, Uncle Lin said, "I will study it after I go back. How long will you guys stay here, Er Mao?"
"There will be for a week or two." Er Mao said.
"Well, I'll take this time to think about it."
Although he has always been confident in himself, Uncle Lin is really puzzled this time. He has been treating various birds and beasts for so many years. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Originally, he thought this black cat would follow Dashan. Pretty much the same, but didn't expect...
After Zheng Tan finished the needle, the old master pulled Uncle Lin to play chess, and asked about Dashan's situation in the middle. As for the preparation of meals, I usually don't have to worry about the elderly, there are special personnel in charge, but today Ermao and Wei Ling are here, and their daughters-in-law roll up their sleeves to prepare the meals.
Seeing that Zheng Tan is really similar to what people eat, and the taste is similar, the old man and Uncle Lin are now convinced. They also specially prepared a plate of scrambled eggs with onions and two plates of relatively spicy snacks. Dashan would never be touched, but Zheng Tan still ate it, and nothing happened after eating it. At that time, Uncle Lin didn't care about the unfinished wine in the glass. He put down the glass and brought Zheng Tan to check. It was still the previous conclusion, which made Uncle Lin, who had been in contact with veterinarians since childhood, amazed.
Several men at the wine table were also talking. Zheng Tan heard them mention Dashan, and only then did he realize that the reason why some of their brothers and sisters did not mention Dashan much when they were away from home was that they were unwilling to recall some embarrassment because of their experiences back then. The unbearable past was created by Dashan; the other is the reason that Dashan species is relatively special in China. After all, it is not abroad, and it cannot be kept as a pet in an upright manner. It is enough for one's own people to know it. Talking about it will only increase the topic. This is also for Dashan. It is a kind of protection, so they only occasionally mention "the master's cat" when they are outside, but they seldom say in detail what kind of cat Dashan is.
I originally thought that the old man would criticize a few of them, but I didn't expect the old man to give face, and didn't go to lecture the three in front of the women and children. After dinner, Uncle Lin left, and the old man chatted with Ermao and the others about their current state, how the family was doing, whether there were any troubles, and how the children were waiting for some household topics. After that, the old man also talked about the mountains.
The old man picked up this unusual cat in a mountain far away from here, and named it "Dashan". Generally speaking, the caracal should not exist in the local area. However, I heard that there have been people who illegally brought in wild animals. It should be those people who brought them in.
When Dashan was young, the old man only thought it was a slightly special cat. He had never seen a caracal, so he didn't think about it in other directions. Later, he heard some people say that it was a caracal. It's just that there was no caracal in this area. After bringing it, it became unique here.
It's not that the old man didn't think about finding a companion for Dashan, but every time this guy got along for a while, he kicked the companion who had finally gone through the formalities and entrusted him with it.
Even if Dashan has a bad temper, always causing trouble, and acting unsatisfactorily, the old man always keeps Dashan by his side. Over time, after forming a habit, the old man regards Dashan as a little friend in his old age. And Dashan also gets along very well with the master and the elderly. He doesn't like being held by others, especially children, but that is "others", not the elderly. The elderly are special. Uncle Lin is also one of them.
"After getting older, Dashan doesn't like to make trouble for people as he used to," the old man said.
Wei Ling pouted directly at this, not asking for trouble, who picked up his son's pants? ! It can only be said that Dashan is looking for trouble a little less now. He is older and doesn't have as much energy to make trouble for others. He is more than enough.
And Dashan doesn't really reject and hate Ermao and the others. He usually pays attention to concealment outside. Dashan is not a pure family pet, but is in a semi-wild state and retains many wild habits. Yesterday, it was because he wanted to welcome Ermao and his party. People, only squatting on the conspicuous stone pier on the side of the road, otherwise people passing by would not be able to find it so easily. According to Ermao and the others, Dashan often greeted them there, which seems to have become a practice.
Judging from these words and Dashan's performance, this cat is still very human.
On the first night here, Zheng Tan slept in a folding tent. This is a small tent, and the tent will stand up after opening. This thing was sent by Xiao Guo, but Zheng Tan didn't use it when he was at home, so he brought it with him when he went out this time. Put some soft cushions prepared by Jiao Ma as a mattress, and Zheng Tan slept there at night.
The foldable tent was placed on a small square table close to the binary bed.
Maybe it was the daytime acupuncture that played a role, or maybe it was because he was relaxed after a long drive. Zheng Tan slept well at night and didn't feel uncomfortable in the unfamiliar environment.
Early in the morning the next day, a sharp screeching sound like a scratch on a hard board sounded. It gave people goosebumps to hear, and it was quite rhythmic, just like the slogan of "One Two One". Two" like.
Zheng Tan's hearing is good, and the sound couldn't help Zheng Tan to fall asleep again. After being startled by the sound, Zheng Tan came out of the small tent.
Er Mao had already sat up, stroking his forehead with his hand, looked at Gong Qin who was still a little dazed, and Bin Yuan, who was sleepy on the cot, and said, "I almost forgot, the mountain-style alarm clock rings on time every day."
Zheng Tan opened the window and went out, jumped on the railing on the second floor and looked down.
In the yard, Dashan was scratching a hard board, which made the sound. At this moment, Dashan's two front claws rhythmically moved on the board that was leaning against the wall. Looking at the board, there were already countless claw marks. It is conceivable that this situation is not the only one. It only appeared today, just as Er Mao said, this is a "Dashan-style alarm clock".
There was an open space outside the yard, where the old man was practicing boxing, the speed was not fast, but it was not Tai Chi, it might be the old man's own set of fitness boxing.
After the three sleeping families on the second floor all woke up, the three brothers Ermao went to practice boxing with the old man. They had been in touch with this set of fitness boxing for a long time, but they didn't practice much on weekdays after leaving here, but in their hearts still familiar.
One teacher and three apprentices were practicing boxing over there, and the two mothers here took out their cameras and took pictures.
Er Yuan, Fatty Wei and Pei Jie are very new. Pei Jie has been in contact with them a bit and followed them in the past. The former two just thought it was fun and used to join in the fun.
What's even more interesting is that after waking up the three families, Dashan also came to the old man's boxing.
Others are boxing, Dashan is rolling, and the rhythm of rolling is quite similar to the rhythm of these people's boxing. Even the movements of stretching their arms and legs can sometimes match Ermao and the others. Dashan-style rolling method, I have often rolled like this on weekdays. Even the rolling place should be where Dashan usually stays. There is no trace of grass there. Obviously different.
Cats can't seem to get rid of that complacent languid look, even when they're grinding their claws, sometimes looking casual.
Uncle Lin said that in addition to the treatment and maintenance he gave Dashan, the reason why Dashan can live so long and so healthy may also be related to its own personality, or to say, it is related to some habits of cats.
The cat and dog battle has always been difficult to distinguish, but in the contest of lifespan, the cat is one step ahead. This may be related to their more laid-back habit than dogs, and their coping style of coping with domestic life.
Taking domestic cats as an example, although most cats die in their teens, there are also many cats in their 20s and 30s. It is said that some experts estimate that the theoretical value can reach 40 years old.
"With the mountains, even if Ermao and the others weren't here, this yard wouldn't make people feel gloomy." Gong Qin said.
The sun has not yet risen, and the air is slightly cool. An old man, an old cat. One punches, one rolls.
Sometimes Ermao and the others really love and hate Dashan, but no matter how complicated the relationship is, whether Dashan is always tossing people like a bear child, they still hope that Dashan can stay by the old man's side and continue to bear like this. One day it can't bear to get up, maybe it's time for it to leave.
