Chapter 7: The Black Cat Is Dead
Originally, everyone thought that the page of the past would be revealed, but because of Shen Chang's persistence, an unexpected change occurred.
On the second weekend, there was a knock on the door of Zhou Ting's house, and if there was nothing to do on the weekend, he usually had to sleep lazily, so he cursed and was about to pretend not to hear, but the knocking continued, and the knocking became heavier and heavier, so he had to sleepy eyes, wear a vest, and open the door a crack, and Linda stood outside the door.
He hurriedly said, "You wait for me." Then he slammed the door shut, got dressed as fast as he could, and ran over to open the door, kicking the stool in the middle, and not bothering to hold the stool or rub his feet.
Linda looked anxious, stood at the door, and couldn't bother to greet Zhou Ting when she saw it, and said, "My cat is gone, have you seen it?"
Zhou Ting was stunned by the question: "Your cat?"
Zhou Ting thought to himself that he hadn't seen him for a few days, why did he come up and ask the cat, should he think that he had stolen her cat? Linda's eyes swept around the house, Zhou Ting's room was not big, and there was no trace of the black cat.
She turned around and walked out, and said anxiously: "Just now he went out for a run with me, but when he turned around, he disappeared, I thought it came to you, and it also came to your house in our community." ”
Zhou Ting asked in surprise: "How smart are you cat, and you will come to me by yourself?"
Linda wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something, it seemed that there was something unspeakable, and Zhou Ting didn't ask again, who doesn't have a little privacy? Especially after hearing about her and her boyfriend, he felt a little more pity in his heart.
Zhou Ting accompanied Linda to look around in the community, and even the places near the community, all searched, but no one saw the black cat, Zhou Ting comforted her: "That's okay, I'll help you make a cat search notice when you go back, let's give some bounty, someone can always send it back." ”
Linda's tears couldn't stop slipping, and she muttered: "What can I do now, what can I do now." ”
After looking for a whole day, the grain of rice did not enter, and Zhou Ting couldn't bear it, he saw Linda's appearance, and he couldn't bear to leave like this, Zhou Ting had to send her home, put two bowls of noodles, put a few slices of green vegetables, fried two poached eggs, poured soy sauce, and looked at it to make people appetizing.
Zhou Ting brought out the noodles, and Linda was already crying on the sofa until she fell asleep. Zhou Ting saw that his face was still hot, so he wanted to let her sleep a little longer, he sat down opposite Linda and looked around.
Linda's living room is very bright and clean, not at all like other people's cats full of hair, it can be seen that she also has a habit of cleanliness, tidy up, refreshing and refreshing, there are not many decorations, all the furniture is simple, plain-based, like hers, cold and deserted.
The doors of the bedroom and bathroom were open, and Zhou Ting was very gentlemanly and did not peek in, he knew that there was the privacy of a single woman inside.
The picture hanging on the wall has a family portrait of Linda, a young man, a black cat, and they are all laughing.
It seems to be her boyfriend who had an accident, he looks sunny and warm, his smile is clean and pure, if nothing happens, they should be a very happy couple.
Zhou Ting also felt very sorry for them, life was unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, but in any case, Linda couldn't keep this cat for the rest of her life, if her boyfriend was still there, she would definitely not be allowed to indulge in memories, it seems that he is such a warm and pure person.
After a while, Zhou Ting still had to wake up Linda, and if she didn't wake up, the noodles would be uneaten.
He brought a cup of hot water, and when he saw that there was still a whole lemon in the refrigerator, he cut two slices and handed them to Linda.
Linda rubbed her forehead, took the water, and said, "What's wrong with me?" Zhou Ting pushed the noodles in front of her: "Eat a little, I haven't eaten all day, no matter how anxious I am, I can't hurt my body like this." ”
Linda nodded, took two bites of the noodles, and tears fell again.
Zhou Ting couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "I'll help you make flyers when I go back in a while, and we'll go and post them early tomorrow morning." Linda nodded with tears in her eyes.
Late at night, Zhou Ting got up to say goodbye, and Linda said very apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'll bother you all day today, and I'll find it myself tomorrow." ”
Zhou Ting's face was tired, but he still sent a smile: "Don't say that, even if we are not friends, we are partners, serving customers well is our ultimate goal, you are our biggest customer, don't worry." ”
Linda was tearful and gratefully sent Zhou Ting away.
When he got home, Zhou Ting made a cat search notice, printed two hundred copies, and then didn't wash it, and fell asleep, originally he planned to go to Linda early in the morning to continue to help her find the cat.
But before he could get up, the door rang again, he sighed, Linda really cared about this cat, it came again so early, he rubbed his eyes and patted his face, and stood up.
Zhou Ting opened the door, but it was Shen Chang standing outside, a big man with his head down.
Shen Chang was already very strange when he came to him early in the morning, and what was even more strange was that Shen Chang had a black cloth bag in his hand, Shen Chang pushed the door open a little and squeezed in.
Zhou Ting asked suspiciously: "Big brother, what kind of trouble are you making here?"
Shen Changshen looked behind him mysteriously, there was no one, he closed the door and opened the black cloth bag, revealing something inside.
This thing Zhou Ting is very familiar with, it is the black cat that he and Linda have been looking for for a day.
Zhou Ting asked in a trembling voice, "Boss, why are you with this cat." He didn't want to speculate on Shen Chang with malice.
Shen Chang opened the bag and put it on the ground, and the black cat remained motionless, as if it had lost its breath.
Zhou Ting exclaimed in surprise and covered his mouth, this is a big trouble.
"What's going on?" Zhou Ting asked.
"I just wanted to teach the cat a lesson, and yesterday morning I followed Linda and stole it while she wasn't looking. Shen Chang still has palpitations when he thinks about it now.
"This little bastard is so strong in combat that it caught me all over my body, I finally stuffed it into the car and got on the elevated road, I don't know how it actually opened the car door, jumped out, and was hit by the car behind me. ”
"I also lost 500 yuan for the car in the back. Shen Chang gritted his teeth and said.
Zhou Ting was silent, he didn't know what to say, he spent a day yesterday looking for the cat, but he didn't expect that it was stolen by Shen Chang and killed.
"What should I do now?" asked Zhou Ting.
"What to do, if you die, you will die. Shen Changman said indifferently: "It's just a beast." It's a big deal to pay her one, whatever she asks, we will pay for it no matter how expensive it is, and it's not that we can't afford it. ”
Zhou Ting shook his head: "It's not a matter of money, nor is it a matter of changing a cat, this cat is Linda's sustenance, which she raised with her deceased boyfriend." ”
Shen Chang darkened his face: "Otherwise, what should I do, I'm dead, it's just a cat, you see her, she has lived with this cat for two years, and she refuses to come out, maybe she can continue to go down without this cat." ”
Zhou Ting disagreed: "Shen Chang, we have been colleagues for many years, this is true, you are really not doing something right, let's go to Linda to apologize, if you want to be punished, you have to let her give this tone, you man." ”
Shen Chang shook his head, he was afraid of Linda, and he was afraid at work, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Zhou Ting.
Although all the cruel things he put here are words, he is afraid of Linda.
Zhou Ting had no choice but to hold this black bag and walk to Linda's house, Shen Chang said that he couldn't die, but promised that as long as Linda opened her mouth, he would compensate for whatever amount he wanted.
Zhou Ting shouted at him angrily: "You coward, if you can solve everything with money, it will be easy to do." ”
He was uneasy in his heart, and he waited many times to wait for Linda to say something, and he always felt that this matter was inseparable from him, if he hadn't talked about it in the company, he wouldn't have caused so much trouble later, so in the final analysis, it was caused by himself.
So you can't blame Shen Chang for everything, if you really want to compensate, let's bear it together.
Zhou Ting lingered at Linda's door for a long time before he mustered up the courage to knock on the door, he was ready to accept Linda's accusations, but no matter how he knocked on the door and rang the doorbell, there was no movement in the house.
He dialed Linda's phone, but no one answered, and it seems that Linda went out to find the cat herself.
She really didn't want to make trouble for herself, Zhou Ting held the corpse of the black cat, and didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only take it back. Shen Chang saw him come back, and hurriedly stood up: "What's the matter, how is she going to compensate?"
Zhou Ting said weakly: "There is no one, it is estimated that I went to find the cat early in the morning." ”
Shen Chang shook his head: "What a weird person." ”
"You go back first, I'll tell you when I have something. Zhou Ting was afraid that Shen Chang would stay any longer, and he would really be unable to help but beat him.
Shen Chang yawned: "Then I'll go first, I didn't dare to take this cat home yesterday, my wife can get it out with me." Zhou Ting waved his hand and sent Shen Chang away.
During the whole day, Zhou Ting ran to Linda's house five or six times, but he didn't see anyone, and he didn't see her come back until night, Zhou Ting couldn't help muttering what was going on, and the phone couldn't get through.
Early on Monday morning, he went to squat Linda again.
saw Linda look as usual, dressed in sportswear, and ran out, followed by a cat.
Zhou Ting chuckled in his heart, he felt that this cat had obviously not been seen, this was a long-haired cat, pure white, and its eyes were very pure blue, he really hadn't seen it.
But he thought he must have seen the cat, because the cat's eyes were so familiar, and Linda came over, and the cat beside her smiled at him playfully.
That's weird.
