Zheng Tan felt like he was being watched for the past two days.
Not sure exactly who was watching, but the feeling was strong.
Due to Dad Jiao's instructions, in order to avoid the one with the surname Ren, Zheng Tan stopped going to the Health Science Building recently. Not only that, but he rarely left the compound at night, and only went out for a walk when he couldn't hold back during the day.
Usually, they wait for the two children at the entrance of the attached small gate at more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and then go home together. Even if he went out at night, he would just walk in the compound and would not run out of the compound, let alone go to the alleys in the old building area.
There are many people during the day, and the campus is full of people. After all, it is not a closed school, and the inspection of people entering and leaving the school gate will not be so strict. However, until he found out the reason for the feeling of being watched, Zheng Tan couldn't be relieved.
On this day, Zheng Tan found a large phoenix tree not far from the East family compound, climbed up, and took a nap on the branches. Sure enough, the heights are more reassuring, and the vision is still wide.
Yawning, Zheng Tan thought too much last night and didn't sleep well, so he had to make up for sleep during the day.
Jiao Ma recently had a teaching project to cooperate with several colleagues. A few months later, Jiao Yuan will enter the junior high school, and Jiao's mother will have to show more presence among the junior high school teachers, so that Jiao Yuan will be able to make more profits in the school.
Others have elderly people or children who haven't gone to kindergarten in their homes. It is inconvenient to go to their homes. In the end, they settled on Jiao's home. So, Zheng Tan wandered outside every day, and when he was tired, he found a tree to climb up to sleep. If it rains, I will go to Big Fatty's house. Anyway, Zheng Tan will not stay at home and face those middle school teachers.
Zheng Tan was dozing off in a daze, and suddenly the feeling of being watched came back. Moving his ears, Zheng Tan didn't hear any strange noises. Students were all coming and going. A sanitation worker was sweeping the floor not far away. Vehicles drove by from time to time. There was a sports field not far from here. , and occasionally there will be some cheering and shouting.
These are normal sounds, and Zheng Tan is used to it, but this feeling of being watched makes Zheng Tan restless. So Zheng Tan opened his eyes and swept under the tree.
Still no suspicious people were found, but Zheng Tan took a good look this time and tried his best to remember the people who walked slowly or sat on the benches and grass, and those who didn't move fast. If the other party wants to monitor all the time, it will definitely not move quickly.
After getting down from the tree, Zheng Tan came to a canteen near the teaching area of the school, looked at it, then found a big tree around the north corner of the canteen and jumped up, turned his back to the other side of the road, and continued to sleep on his stomach.
After a while, when the feeling of being under surveillance rose again, Zheng Tan narrowed his eyes and looked at the cafeteria opposite.
The reason why he chose this canteen and the tree in the north corner was because Zheng Tan took a fancy to the SLR glass in the corner of the second floor in the north. Because there is an office in the corner of the second floor, the SLR glass was used during the decoration, and the outside can only be seen from the inside. If it is seen from the outside of the cafeteria, it can be used as a mirror.
Zheng Tan looked at the picture reflected on the glass, observed the people inside, and then compared with those he remembered just now. In the end, Zheng Tan's eyes fell on a seemingly ordinary student.
The student was carrying a bag and a book in his hand, and slowly walked towards the cafeteria. During this process, he took two steps to see where Zheng Tan was. Finally, he came to the grass in front of the cafeteria. Sit down and open the book.
When Zheng Tan didn't come over just now, this man was reading a book on the grass not far from the plane tree where Zheng Tan stayed. There are many students reading on the grass like this, and when Zheng Tan opened his eyes and swept over, he also lowered his head, so Zheng Tan did not notice him.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Tan got up and stretched, and then swept around in a circle seemingly unintentionally. The man really lowered his head again.
Zheng Tan lay down and continued to sleep facing Shitang, but his eyes were fixed on the SLR glass in the cafeteria. Just as Zheng Tan had guessed, the man looked up in Zheng Tan's direction again, and looked this way every few seconds.
Zheng Tan wondered, who the hell is this? Why monitor yourself
Moreover, even if it is monitored, the target is only a cat, so is it so cautious
Zheng Tan couldn't understand.
Is it because he was too famous for his commercials, and then someone took a fancy to him and wanted to take him away? It's on TV. Otherwise, a cat with no value is worth monitoring like this
Now that he has found the suspect, Zheng Tan will fight him.
Zheng Tan is very regular every day. He comes out with the children in the morning, walks around, sleeps on the tree north of the cafeteria, and monitors that person by the way. Go home for lunch at noon, take a nap, and come out with the two children in the afternoon, jump up the same tree, and continue to counter surveillance.
Sometimes, for fear of being discovered, Zheng Tan would also change places. Some supermarkets and snack shops in the school also have such reverse-slip glass. It's not that Zheng Tan is too cautious, it's the fact that the other party's behavior of carefully monitoring cats makes Zheng Tan feel unsure.
Anyway, be careful.
A week later, Zheng Tan found that the man was gone, and the feeling of being watched disappeared.
Not monitoring
Or, is there a next move
Zheng Tan's question only lasted for one day.
The next night, after dinner, Zheng Tan went out with Jiao's mother, Jiao's mother went to find a friend to dance and exercise, and Zheng Tan walked around the courtyard.
Both Ah Huang and the sheriff are locked at home. Ah Huang has been castrated and may be quieter, but the sheriff is restless. When he was locked at home, he kept calling. However, he had someone at home to play with him. , and then gradually stopped calling, occasionally released during the day to play, and absolutely not allowed to go out at night.
Therefore, if Zheng Tan wants to walk with the cat, he can only find Big Fat, but this fat man who has become rich only squatted on his balcony every time, and rarely came out to walk around.
After teasing the bulldog Zhuangzhuang, Zheng Tan walked around the compound boredly.
It was nearly 8:30. Jiao's mother and the others did not return until 9:00. Jiao's father was at home today. Jiao Yuan's homework had a dictation question. After the dictation was completed, Jiao's father had to sign, so Jiao's father didn't go out at night. Therefore, Zheng Tan planned to follow Jiao Ma directly upstairs after she came back.
As he was walking, Zheng Tan suddenly heard the flapping sound of his wings.
Moving his ears, Zheng Tan looked at the place where the sound came from. It was already close to the courtyard wall, which was considered a remote place in the courtyard. There are some sweet-scented osmanthus trees and plum trees, which are used to beautify and decorate the environment inside the compound.
However, Zheng Tan and the others don't usually play here. After all, there are too few trees here, and the trunks are thin, and it is not easy to grind claws and climb trees. Compared with the grove next to the family compound, this place is much more boring, so Zheng Tan and Ah Huang prefer to take a few more steps to play in the grove outside the compound.
but…
Zheng Tan looked at the side where the flapping of wings was heard, a little strange, was it a bird
If it was another cat, it would definitely go there in this situation. Cats don't hunt for food, it's their nature to hunt, and they will surely pass when they hear the movement of a bird.
But Zheng Tan is different, Zheng Tan has no interest in catching birds at all.
He turned around and was about to leave, and took two steps back when Zheng Tan heard a small movement again, like a sigh after his popularity had collapsed. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, Zheng Tan could still hear it.
When Zheng Tan walked around, he pretended to play with branches, and Yu Guang glanced at the courtyard wall.
The street lamp is more than ten meters away from here, and it can only illuminate the road. It is still very dark on the side of the tree, but Zheng Tan, with the advantage of a cat, still notices the head exposed on the courtyard wall.
something wrong!
After Zheng Tan pretended to scratch the branch twice, he heard a few more thumps from the cage over there. Zheng Tan also took this opportunity to go over to see what it was.
Curiosity returned to curiosity, Zheng Tan was still very attentive to the movements around him, and he didn't want to suffer a sap for no reason.
The trees here are all three or four meters high. Although there are not many, they are relatively dense. From the surrounding, it is impossible to see what is going on under the trees. And the thumping sound is under the osmanthus trees.
When approaching the osmanthus trees, Zheng Tan smelled the smell of birds and other scents.
The flapping sound of the wings was accompanied by a slight metal hitting sound, just like when Zheng Tan saw the mouse trapping cage at Xiao Qu's house opposite, Xiao Qu was close to this sound when he patted the mouse cage.
cage
Cat catching
Catching cats, or just to scratch yourself
Zheng Tan was full of doubts.
It stands to reason that there should be fewer cats catching at this time, not to mention that this is still in the family compound of the university, these people are so courageous
Zheng Tan had already walked under the osmanthus tree, slowly approached there, and saw the cage. There are some leaves on the cage for cover, and one side is open, which is the opening of the cage.
The cage was about sixty centimeters long and nearly twenty centimeters wide, and there was a sparrow thumping twice from time to time. Perhaps it was aware of Zheng Tan's approach, and the sparrow fluttered even more. Come on, you can only flap your wings inside the cage. Sometimes the struggle is too violent, and when you shake too hard, the wings will hit the top of the cage and bang the cage. Sensing the approaching "predator", it also made a few screams in horror.
When Zheng Tan approached the cage, on the other side of the family building of Building B, the fat man on the first floor who was squatting on the balcony and taking a nap moved his ears, and suddenly opened his eyes to see who was wearing reading glasses and buttons in the room. Old lady, make a low "meow" sound, like the warning sound of other cats when they are threatened, but it is a little different.
After the old lady heard it, the action of buttoning stopped, and immediately put down the things in her hands.
"What's wrong?" The old lady looked at Fatty.
"Meow-"
The old lady frowned, then picked up the phone and called the doorman. When she looked up again, the fat man was gone.
"What happened?" the old lady whispered, and immediately put on her coat, holding the electric baton, ready to go and see what happened. If he just encountered a thief like last time, Big Fatty wouldn't have run away by himself, but this time...
Zheng Tan stood one meter in front of the cage, and without getting closer, he stood there looking at the cage, and at the same time paid attention to the people who were leaning on the courtyard wall and looking over here. However, because the trees here are too dense, there are too many branches, the branches and leaves are lush, and there is a row of rhododendrons planted by the road, which blocks the view above and next to it.
However, Zheng Tan couldn't see that person, and that person definitely couldn't see Zheng Tan either.
So, Zheng Tan was going to spend it first, to see when that person couldn't help but climb over the wall.
Just thinking about it, Zheng Tan heard a cry of "meow", he was fat, and the guy was running towards him when he heard the sound.
Whoosh!
Big Fat had already jumped over the row of rhododendrons and came under the osmanthus tree. Seeing Zheng Tan standing in front of the cage, he rushed over and slapped Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan responded quickly, taking two steps back, avoiding Big Fat's claws.
The fat man hunched his back, the hair on his back exploded, his ears lowered, and he roared at Zheng Tan twice, and then at the cage.
Zheng Tan knew that Da Fatty was warning himself to stay away from the cage.
Zheng Tan flicked his tail and walked over, ignoring Big Fatty's appearance of impending disaster, raised his paw and patted its head lightly, then walked behind the cage, not facing the opening of the cage.
Big Fatty also called "meow" to come over, Zheng Tan flicked his tail, stretched out his claws, grabbed the cage, lifted the cage, and threw it twice.
The fat man tugged at his ears, obviously not expecting Zheng Tan to have such a reaction. After all, Big Fatty is not a human being. Even if he is relatively smart, his thinking is still inferior to that of a human being. If he were human, he would definitely be stunned by Zheng Tan's reaction. Lifting the cage directly and dropping it is not something a cat can do.
After two falls, Zheng Tan looked at the cage, the door of the cage hadn't been closed, it seemed that the mechanism inside had not been touched, and the design was quite rigorous.
Looking around, Zheng Tan bent his claws and hooked a twig, then stretched the twig into it, touching a place inside the cage.
Snapped!
The cage door is closed, giving the cat little time to react. If a cat is playing sparrows inside, it will definitely not react before the cage door is closed.
Big Fatty tugged at his ears again, hooked his tail and shook it, looking a little puzzled, but it was no longer like the catastrophe he had just before.
After the cage was closed, Zheng Tan's attention was on the people on the courtyard wall. However, the man seemed to be more cautious and did not jump over the wall immediately.
Zheng Tan knew in his heart that, in connection with the events of the previous few days, these people have been monitoring for so long, and they even put the cage here. It is estimated that they have figured out the law of their actions, and the purpose is most likely to be themselves!
"Ow—" Zheng Tan shouted twice. I can't believe that you can hold still before yelling at the people in the courtyard!
Hearing Zheng Tan's roar, Big Fat also yelled "meow".
In the family building, many people may not hear it very well, but pets can hear it clearly.
Huang and the sheriff both heard the voices of the two partners and followed suit.
And several other dogs barked happily, especially the bulldog Zhuang Zhuang, who was scratching the iron gate while barking.
For a time, cats and dogs barked constantly in the compound.
The last time this happened was when the thief was caught. Obviously, after that experience, the first thought of the people in the compound when they heard the news was: Someone else came to steal!
Old Man Yan threw down the newspaper in his hand and hurried downstairs to open the door for Niu Zhuangzhuang, "Quick, catch the thief!"
Before the door was fully opened, Niu Zhuangzhuang couldn't wait to squeeze out, spread his feet and ran towards Zheng Tan and the others.
Old Man Li didn't have his big dog on a leash. After seeing Old Man Yan's Zhuang Zhuang running out, Old Man Li untied the leash from Xiao Hua's neck and watched his dog run away with Niu Zhuang Zhuang. The St. Bernard dog is so big, but it has to perform at critical times.
In addition to these two, Sahara was also released by his master. This guy was like chicken blood again. No matter what his master said behind him, he kept running in the direction of Zheng Tan and Big Fat Yew.
As for the small dogs such as Chihuahuas, Pekingese and Corgis in other people's homes, they have not been released. Regardless of whether the thief can be caught or not, even if it can be caught, there are those two big dogs, and Niu Zhuangzhuang, the "ruthless" leader, and a few puppies who go there will probably be accidentally injured.
On this side, the man who had been watching the movement of the cat-catching cage by the courtyard wall almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing the two cats roaring loudly.
Paralyzed, this cat is suddenly barking so loudly!
This has never happened to cat hunting before!
