Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 398: Big cat's test

Views:

Zheng Tan found that something was wrong with the big cat in the past two days, or maybe it was like this in the first place

In a word, except for the first day here, Zheng Tan felt that in the next few days, the big cat looked at him strangely. Every time Zheng Tan looked back, the big cat did not choose to move. Open your eyes, just like this, you are not afraid to look directly.

Not right.

Very wrong.

Although Ermao and the others would think that Dashan was just curious about Zheng Tan, a "semi-similar" similar to him, Zheng Tan didn't think so. Maybe the cats here are not as bold as Zheng Tan. Uncle Lin said that in this area, the mountains are the overlords. The surrounding cats and some domestic dogs, regardless of whether they are domestic or wild, will not face the mountains. When they met, some people flew away as soon as they saw the mountain. Only Zheng Tan was not afraid of the mountain and ignored it. To put it bluntly, he seemed to ignore it.

It's not that Zheng Tan didn't take it seriously, but he has always been more inclined to a human perspective. For a special cat, apart from the freshness at the beginning, it's nothing.

Ermao, the others, and the old master must all hope that Zheng Tan and Dashan can get along well, but in Zheng Tan's view, they are both males, and it is already a good phenomenon to fight without fighting for territory, so why ask for more ? Is it really required that cats can be united, friendly, equal and mutual help like children

but…

Zheng Tan looked obliquely forward, the big cat was lying on a chair, looking at Zheng Tan's side, it was still the kind of eyes that made Zheng Tan feel as if he was making up his mind.

Zheng Tan has endured for the past few days, just waiting for this guy to act. If it is as Zheng Tan thought, if Dashan really has some purpose, there should be corresponding actions.

Patience is always surprisingly good for cats to achieve their goals for their prey.

After coming down for four days in a row, Dashan maintained his previous attitude, staring at Zheng Tan, but did not move.

Turning back, Zheng Tan continued to stare at Er Yuan and Fatty Wei who were sitting at the low table drawing, but he thought about it. Looking at the look in Dashan's eyes just now, there should be action soon.

Sure enough, after another half an hour, the mountain lying on the wooden chair over there jumped down and walked to Zheng Tan's side, just like Zheng Tan, squatting there watching Er Yuan and Fatty Wei painting.

With the hatred of "pumping the pants" at the beginning, Fatty Wei stood up immediately after seeing the mountain approaching, raised his pants to avoid a few steps, and looked at the mountain vigilantly. On the other hand, Eryuan looked at Dashan, and then at Fatty Wei. He didn't move, but he didn't draw any more.

Zheng Tan glanced sideways at Dashan. This guy didn't seem to care that he was being guarded by the two children. He looked at the paper on the low table. He was not interested, then looked at Zheng Tan again. Then, he raised his paw and waved towards Zheng Tan.

A slap on a human body is a bit of a bitch, but to a cat it's as common as paw licking. You can't expect a cat to strike with a fist, can you? And there are several different ways to fan the cat's slap, how to slap, whether to fold or release the claws, how much to release, from which angle to slap, etc. These will all have different choices according to different situations.

Just like now, Dashan has no hostility towards Zheng Tan, but just gave Zheng Tan a joking or a test. When he swiped over, his claws were retracted, and the force was not too strong.

Because he realized that Dashan was not malicious, Zheng Tan did not avoid it. After being hit on the head, Zheng Tan did not fight back immediately, but looked at Dashan and carefully distinguished this big man who Ermao and Wei Ling thought were extremely smart and strange. cat.

It really seems like it's just a test.

Zheng Tan was hit by Dashan, but he didn't immediately fight back, but Eryuan and Wei Xiaofa were still young, one was almost three years old and the other was three and a half years old, and they didn't have enough discernment ability. Zheng Tan was bullied.

Wei Xiaopang remembered that his father told him that if Dashan and Zheng Tan fought, he would let him know, so Wei Xiaopang ran out of the yard with his pants up, shouting, "Dad, Daddy! Uncle Shan and Brother Hei are fighting!!"

Eryuan, who was sitting in the same place, saw that Zheng Tan had been slapped, and then he took a drawing pen and knocked on the mountain. For Du Yuan, Brother Hei is naturally much closer than Uncle Shan. It is naturally Uncle Shan's fault that Hei is bullied, so he has to protect him even more.

The posture is good, but unfortunately the small arm of the two yuan person is not strong enough to hit the mountain, and the body does not hurt much.

Zheng Tan's heart was immediately moved, two yuan good boy!

After Da Shan was hit by Er Yuan, the two tufts of hair on his ears shook with his ears, looked at Er Yuan, then raised a paw, placed it on the drawing book on the low table, and flicked it aside.

The picture book was thrown to the ground.

This time, Zheng Tan gave Dashan a slap, and Eryuan helped him vent his anger, and he must also help Eryuan pay it back. It didn't take much effort, didn't open the claws, and the force of the hit was similar to when the mountain was swung over just now.

Eryuan just pouted because the painting book was lifted, when Zheng Tan helped her fan the mountain, and suddenly stopped pouting.

Outside the yard, people who were startled by Wei Xiaofazi's words also rushed over.

Seeing the situation in the yard, Er Mao and Wei Ling immediately felt relieved. They didn't seem to fight much. It should be a misunderstanding by Fatty Wei.

Eryuan had already picked up the picture book, and when Ermao came over, Diandianer ran to complain.

"Dad, Uncle Shan is bad!"

Listening to Duyuan Jiang's description of the situation just now, although Duyuan's expressive ability is limited, several people can still roughly guess what happened here just now.

"Dude Eryuan, your uncle Shan and Brother Hei are just playing." Er Mao explained.

"Really?" Binary was curious.

"Of course it's true, don't you see that Uncle Shan and Brother Hei are not angry? This is a way of expressing friendship between cats!" Er Mao said.

Zheng Tan: "..." Friendly ass!

In the afternoon, all three children were taken into the house to sleep, while Ermao and the others went around, revisited the old places, searched for some memories of the past, and also visited a few households that could not be visited yesterday. They met when they lived here. When they heard Ermao and Wei Ling come back, many people brought food and drink and waited. Ermao and the others naturally had to express their feelings.

The expression of relationship is mutual, and cannot be maintained by a single party. Besides, the elderly have to live here for a long time, and maintaining the relationship with other people is also a help to the elderly. The old man lives here, although other villagers may not be able to help much, but they can take care of it a little, so as not to make the old man too lonely.

In the yard, Zheng Tan slept on a chair in the shade. He preferred this outdoor environment that was closer to nature than indoors.

Probably because of the cat's body, it will also carry some cat habits. A cat sleeps most of the time every day. Of course, this kind of sleep is not the kind of dead sleep. Most of the time, it just lies there quietly, with eyes closed, as if not wanting to communicate with the outside world. Appearance, but the ears are propped up, always paying attention to the movement around.

His ears moved, Zheng Tan opened his eyes and looked over. Those who come close are still mountains.

At this time on weekdays, Dashan would hide in a leafy tree around the compound, and it would be difficult to find it if you were not careful, otherwise Zheng Tan would not rest in the courtyard. And now the big cat that was supposed to be on the tree outside the yard came to Zheng Tan at this time.

This time, Dashan didn't move his claws. After looking at Zheng Tan, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard, took two steps and looked at Zheng Tan again, and called out in a low voice.

Is this to follow? Zheng Tan was puzzled.

Curious about Dashan's purpose, Zheng Tan is also idle right now. After stretching, he jumped off the chair.

Seeing Zheng Tan following, Dashan continued to walk out.

Zheng Tan followed Da Shan out of the yard and walked farther and farther. Looking back at the courtyard that was almost invisible, Zheng Tan paused and looked over to the mountain.

Dashan noticed that Zheng Tan was not following, and stopped and waited, as if he was very dissatisfied with Zheng Tan's sudden stop.

What the hell does this guy want? Zheng Tan thought.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Tan continued to follow. Ermao can find Zheng Tan's location based on the cat card, even if Zheng Tan is thrown away by the mountain and gets lost in the wild woods, he doesn't have to worry. And Zheng Tan also wanted to look further afield, so he continued to follow the mountain.

Dashan took Zheng Tan away from this familiar hilltop, which was not high, left the village where the residents were scattered, and entered the wild woods. There was no road here. At first, there were traces of human activities, but the further later, human activities The fewer traces there are, the more often there will be the aura of some small beasts.

Zheng Tan followed Dashan, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

Dashan has a strong field survival experience. He seems to walk briskly, but he always pays attention to the movements around him.

Zheng Tan learned a lot, but he didn't do too much, he just followed, and he didn't tease the rabbit to dig out the bird's nest from time to time like Dashan did.

Seeing the appearance of the mountain, Zheng Tan understands why so many ecologists and ornithologists don't care much about cats. In some places where there were no cats, an extra cat would pose a big threat, not to mention the slightly larger ones.

As natural hunters, cats will not stop exercising because they are not hungry. After eating and drinking, they will also play when they encounter prey. They will not care about what ecosystem, what food chain, or what species invades you. Kind of, all act according to their own temperament.

Dashan ate a bird that was not too big for Zheng Tan to name, and threw two eggs. When the time was almost up, he caught another rabbit when he was walking back. Knowing the region, Dashan can always find prey and kill it easily.

Zheng Tan followed Dashan for a while and then came back, thinking about it in his heart.

The old man didn’t mention Dashan’s outing behavior too much. Zheng Tan only knew that Dashan would go out to the wild once or twice a week. The old man is used to it, and now he is not too worried.

This big cat is very smart. It has been with the old man for 20 years. The old man has educated Dashan as a child for 20 years. He will always learn something. Compared with other cats, he is more refined. It has been proved, and Zheng Tan feels it too. And because of this, Zheng Tan wondered what Dashan wanted to do.

Zheng Tan felt that this afternoon's trip was also a test for Dashan. He didn't think that Dashan was simply taking the friendship of the landlord to take him out for a walk in the wild.

The second test.
