Strange Life of a Cat

Seeing the girl running into the narrow alley, the snakehead felt happy. He was afraid that the girl would run to a crowded place or start shouting directly on the street. Unexpectedly, she ran into the alley. Didn't she know this? Is it more dangerous to plant in an alley?

Usually, there are many people doing shady transactions in the alleys. Fights often occur, and there are even situations where people are killed. Most of the people living there are self-protective. Even if they hear "catch the thief" at night, they will stay behind closed doors. Who cares what you are doing here?

Xiao Jiu was about to continue running, but found Zheng Tan stopping next to the old man to catch his breath, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry anymore. Looking at the old man again, she remembered that only blind people would use things like bamboo poles or sticks to find their way. And this old man is just blind, how can he help?

After bypassing the old man, Xiaojiu ran a few steps. When she saw that Zheng Tan did not follow him, but instead stood peacefully next to the old man, she hesitated. At this moment, the snakeheads and "Sickle" behind them had already entered the alley and chased after them.

Stopping in his tracks, Xiaojiu called out to Zheng Tan in a low voice, telling him to run quickly and not to implicate others. Moreover, this was a blind old man. The snakeheads and the others were obviously not good people at first glance. If the blind old man faced them, they would definitely suffer. .

Seeing Xiao Jiu's anxious look, Zheng Tan didn't know how to express his meaning. After thinking about it, he raised his paw to hook Master Kun's trouser legs. He originally wanted to indicate "hug the thigh", but he didn't know that Master Kun was wearing it today. The material of the trousers was too poor, or Zheng Tan's claws were too sharp and used too much force, which directly cut the trouser leg.

Master Kun and Xiaojiu: "..."

Hearing that Snakehead and the others were approaching, Zheng Tan gave up "hugging his thighs" and hid behind Mr. Kun, then exposed his head and looked in the direction of Snakehead and the others. Since Mr. Kun has stopped, it means he is willing to help, otherwise the old man will continue walking and not care about what is going on around him.

The snakehead's face was a little distorted, and he didn't know whether he was red from anger or tired from running here. In short, he looked a little angry, as if he wanted to eat people. When Xiao Jiu saw the snake head like this, she had the urge to run away. However, when she saw the black cat again, she had a very strange feeling. It seemed that it would be better to stay here.

Zheng Tan's eyes were not entirely on the snake head and the "sickle" who ran into the alley, but on the intersection. At the same time, keep your ears open and pay attention to the direction behind you. At the intersection, after "Sickle" came in, someone else came in. The man looked like a passerby with no other special features, but "Sickle" didn't notice anyone behind him at all.

The snakehead had only heard of Master Kun, but had never met him. Therefore, even if they faced each other head-on, he did not compare the old man in front of him with Master Kun, who sounded awesome and coaxing. I was briefly confused just now, but looking at the equipment on the old man in front of me, I really can't think of any threat to the blind man in front of me.

Moreover, the snakehead was furious now. He didn't think too much after he was doubtful. What he wanted most now was to catch Xiao Jiu, which was 400,000 yuan. He almost escaped with the 400,000 yuan.

The snakehead ran over angrily and looked in the direction of Xiao Jiu: "Run, you run again, see where you can hide!" Then he yelled at Master Kun: "Get away, old guy..."

Just as he stretched out his hand to twist the collar of the old man in front of him and throw it to the side, the snake head's arm that had not been bitten by the dog was bent into a twisted angle in the next moment. Before he could scream, he fainted.

The "scythe" behind the snakehead was brought down a few seconds before the snakehead was unlucky. The sound of the whole process was not as good as the noise coming from outside the alley, and the snakehead did not notice the movement behind him at all.

Xiaojiu stood about five meters behind Mr. Kun, looking in the direction of the snake head. She could clearly see everything that had just happened. From the time the man approached the "scythe" to the time the snake head fainted, the whole process was too short. , she didn't even come to take a few breaths.

Just as Xiao Jiu was wondering, someone approached from behind her. He ignored her and passed directly by. Only then did she turn her attention to the person who had just walked past. This person still looked very ordinary. At first glance, he seemed unremarkable. At least Xiaojiu didn't see any difference between this person and the pedestrians she had seen on the street before.

I saw the man walking over there quickly, and then he and the man who just knocked the snake's head out, one by one, left the alley like they were supporting a drunken person.

Some residents living around also saw what happened just now. Although they didn't see it clearly, they could roughly guess what kind of conflict there was. Based on the principles of self-preservation and minding other people's business, they pretended they had never seen it. Anyway, This kind of thing happens so often that I feel numb when I see it now.

Zheng Tan breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, there were people around Master Kun. After dealing with the two guys like Snakehead, Xiao Jiu was safe for the time being.

Master Kun slowly turned around and continued walking along the original route. When passing by Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu swallowed nervously and felt stiff all over. Even a fool now knew how extraordinary this old man was. No wonder the black cat hid behind him and didn't look worried at all. However, they are strangers after all, and these people are not kind people at first glance. Xiaojiu wonders if these people will sell themselves out like the snakeheads and others.

"Come here." Master Kun said as he passed by Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu was stunned, looked at the side, then at Master Kun, and said tremblingly: "Me?"

Master Kun didn't answer and continued walking forward.

Zheng Tan was confused, what did Mr. Kun want to do?

But now that Master Kun has spoken out, Xiaojiu has to follow him even if he doesn't want to.

Zheng Tan accompanied Xiao Jiu and followed Master Kun around the area. If Zheng Tan had been on his own, he would have lost his way. The only way was to jump on the roof and find the direction again. I didn't expect Master Kun, a blind man, to be so familiar with him. He didn't even pause and kept walking at a constant speed.

When Master Kun returned to his place, there was already a piece of material on his desk. It was in Braille. Zheng Tan could not understand it. He could only see Master Kun flipping through it and rubbing it with his fingers. He could not read it from Master Kun's face. What happened? I don’t know what the old man’s mood is now. However, based on intuition, Zheng Tan felt that the old man should not have too many mood swings and would not be angry or happy. There are no mood swings, which is also a good thing.

Xiao Jiu was arranged to sit on a wooden chair not far away. Although he was drinking tea and trying his best to behave naturally, it was obvious that his moral integrity was insufficient.

A man walked in. Zheng Tan had seen this man the last time he came here.

After the man came in, he looked at Master Kun and saw that Master Kun did not give any instructions to avoid the idlers. He spoke directly and told what he found out about the smuggler and the others, which was much more detailed than Zheng Tan knew.

Xiaojiu also sat on the chair and listened carefully, especially the part about herself. Her hands shook when she heard that the smuggler and the others had committed many crimes and even had murders on their hands. She now felt that she was really lucky to have escaped from those people. Looking at the black cat lying next to the vase on the table next to her, Xiao Jiu thought to herself: This cat can indeed bring luck.

"Because I heard some rumors before, Brother Qing asked his subordinates to warn them not to commit crimes here. I didn't expect them to be so brave..." The man continued talking there.

From this man's words, Zheng Tan also knew that in addition to the snakehead and "scythe", the man who went to get the car was also found.

There is no crime directly targeting the sale and purchase of human organs in the criminal law. Moreover, most donors are voluntary, so it is difficult to deal with. Even if the smugglers are caught by the police, the act of purchasing human organs and then reselling them is essentially It is a kind of business activity. The sale of human organs is prohibited in this country. This kind of trading is considered an illegal business crime. However, the smuggler and the others are also carrying other things, which is serious, and any one of them can lead to a heavy sentence. I just don’t know how Master Kun will deal with the snakeheads.

No matter what, Zheng Tan heard the man's tone and knew that the snakehead and the others would not have any good results.

Master Kun said nothing, raised his hand slightly, and the man left.

Master Kun asked Xiaojiu to stay here and asked Zheng Tan to go home first.

Zheng Tan looked at the pendulum clock and saw that it was indeed getting late, but he was worried about Xiao Jiu. He was hesitating when Master Kun said, "You can come here to see her tomorrow."

Seeing Xiaojiu nodding, Zheng Tan left. With Master Kun's status, he won't embarrass Xiao Jiu, right? Zheng Tan heard a little bit about Master Kun when he was discussing cooperation with Wei Leng, and he should not be short of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The next day, Zheng Tan ran out after delivering the little grapefruit in the morning. When he passed by the overpass, he looked at the old man and saw that the old man was still sitting there playing the erhu. Zheng Tan ran up and waved it twice in front of him. The old man only played the erhu and didn't care about it at all. No other reaction.

After leaving the overpass, Zheng Tan followed the route Master Kun took him on for the first time in his memory and found Master Kun's residence. He raised his paw and patted the door. The door opened quickly, and it was the same person who opened the door last time.

Seeing Zheng Tan, the man didn't seem surprised at all.

When Zheng Tan saw Xiaojiu, the girl was reading a book. Zheng Tan looked at it and saw that it was a textbook for the first grade of elementary school. The textbook had been used by someone else and there were some crooked handwriting on it.

Seeing Zheng Tan coming over, Xiaojiu immediately put down his textbook. He looked very happy, his eyes were full of hope and there was no sense of depression.

Xiaojiu talked about her own choices and Master Kun's arrangements for her. Master Kun gave her several choices. She did not choose to go home or go to the orphanage. Master Kun asked her to follow someone first this afternoon. will leave with that person. However, we are still in this area of ​​Chuhua City and will not go to other areas.

From what Xiao Jiu said, this girl actually wanted to follow Master Kun. She had a sense of admiration for Master Kun, but, to put it bluntly, she didn't have the qualifications yet. Not everyone can stay with Master Kun. Ability is one thing. From the time we met until now, it has only been less than a day. Master Kun doesn’t know Xiaojiu well. Master Kun has no shortage of people under him. If he doesn’t want to, he might be able to do it so easily. Make a decision, and Master Kun is not a charity person, and he will not help you just because he sees you pitiful. Zheng Tan always felt that Lord Kun might have other plans.

It's a pity that Zheng Tan can't get an answer from Master Kun now. You can tell from Master Kun's attitude today. Zheng Tan doesn't think that Master Kun is unaware of his existence.

Although I don’t quite understand Mr. Kun’s plan, at least now, Xiaojiu is safe. She has not been sold or sent to any bad place. She still has the opportunity to receive education. Even if she doesn’t want to study, primary school and You have to go to junior high school.

Zheng Tan raised his hand and looked at Xiaojiu. The look in this girl's eyes was something he had never seen before. Was it because she could read, or was it because of something else? Zheng Tan couldn't see clearly.

Xiaojiu made her own choice, whether it was a momentary immature idea or a carefully considered decision. For such a small child, even if she decides to do something now, how long can it last?

When leaving, Xiao Jiu said that he would go to Zheng Tan if he had the chance, but Zheng Tan didn't take it to heart. It's not Master Kun who has the final say on what Xiao Jiu can do.

With things in mind, Zheng Tan didn't notice his surroundings when he returned to the East District compound. When he was called, he realized that Fang Shaokang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, had come over.

"I'm not here to find you today." Fang Shaokang said.

Zheng Tan looked at the door control, where Er Mao was already waiting.

Why did Fang Shaokang come here?

Zheng Tan followed them to the third floor.

"Uncle Third, have a sip of tea first." Ermao served the tea in a very clumsy manner.

Fang Shaokang took the tea and looked directly in the direction of the cat's nest without saying much, "Are those two cats asleep?"

"Yeah, I made a fuss all morning and slept all afternoon. Until now."

Before Er Mao finished speaking, Zheng Tan saw two cat heads peeking out from the nest of two kittens, looking at Fang Shaokang warily.

"Oh, this alertness is really strong." Fang Shaokang was obviously very satisfied.

Zheng Tan looked at Fang Shaokang and then at the kitten nest. Are you here to pick a kitten?

(4.10) I mentioned making up the weekend updates before, but that didn’t happen. I’ll do double updates on Monday.
