Chapter 419 (Final Chapter)
"The end of the world" is the same as Zheng Si thought, just like that, Zheng Si didn't go online to bet with those people, and he was not in the mood to join in the fun and denounce those guys who vigorously spread doomsday theory before.
After the apocalyptic years that have been hyped on the Internet have passed, the atmosphere of the Jiao family has become more and more tense.
One is Xiaoyuzi's college entrance examination, and the other is Zheng Si's state.
Xiao Yuzi did not choose the escort of Chuhua University, because the number of places was limited, she gave up the place to Xie Xin, an old classmate of the West District Compound, Xie Xin's grades were not as stable as her, and Xiao Yuzu's grades have always been very good, and after talking to Jiao's father, Xiao Yuzu made a decision.
For students in the third year of high school, time flies faster than anyone else, as if it is not enough, but fortunately, Xiaoyuzi's psychological element zhì is not bad, which makes Jiao's father and Jiao's mother feel a lot more relieved.
And Zheng Si's problem is still the same as last year, he always dreams, and he feels that even if he just squints for a while, he will dream a lot, and his thinking is very chaotic, so that Zheng Si doesn't dare to sleep now. If you don't get enough sleep, your mental state will definitely not be good.
Jiao's mother also took Zheng Si to the pet center for a check-up, but she didn't find any major problems, just lack of sleep.
Jiao Yuan has called home a lot more times in the past six months, asked about Xiaoyuzi's situation, and also asked Zheng Si, and said that if the veterinarian here can't solve it, he will take it to the capital to see, and there are many authoritative veterinarians over there.
Zheng Si didn't want to go, and Jiao's mother couldn't help it, thinking that after the little grapefruit college entrance examination, the family would go to the capital to see Jiao Yuan again, and take Zheng Si over for inspection by the way.
Zheng sighed at the desk calendar on Xiao Yuzi's desk when he was at home. flipped through it, he recalled the time when he became a cat, it was probably June, but he couldn't remember the specific time, ten years had passed, who remembered, and Zheng Si had always lived a chaotic life, he didn't remember the date very much, and sometimes he would miss the school exam.
Stretching out his paws, Zheng Si drew an inconspicuous mark on the dates from June 1st to 15th. A few more claws were added to the 7th and 8th. It was the time of the Xiaoyuzi college entrance examination.
Every time Yuzu came back, Zheng Si pretended to be in good spirits, but as soon as Xiao Yuzu left, Zheng Si returned to his usual state of confusion. Jiao's father asked Zheng Si to stay in his office. What is good to take care of. Zheng sighed and didn't go, he felt that he was still comfortable staying at home.
On the morning of June 8th, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother and Xiaoyuzi went out. Zheng Si went out with them, Jiao's father sent Xiaoyuzi to the examination room, Jiao's mother was going to the attached middle school, Zheng Si sent them out of the compound, and originally wanted to slip around again, but they yawned one after another, their eyelids were very heavy, and finally decided to go home and sleep.
Jumping on the sofa in the living room, Zheng Si didn't bother to shake off the cat circle, raised his foot and pushed the remote control that was in the middle of the sofa far away, and then lay down in the middle of the sofa, listening to the subtle click of the second hand of the wall clock, and closed his eyes.
After Jiao's mother rode out of the house, she suddenly thought that she didn't bring the USB flash drive, and forgot to pull it out after copying a copy of the information in the morning, so she rode back again.
The old lady of the big fat family on the first floor was combing the big fat family, and after seeing Jiao's mother, she said, "I saw your black charcoal coming back just now, and I should go home to make up for sleep." ”
Hearing the old lady's words, Jiao's mother didn't care, it is estimated that she pretended to be too energetic when she sent Xiaoyuzi out in the morning, and now she goes home to rest. Jiao's mother thought that after today, she would take the time to take her cat to the capital to find someone to take a look, otherwise no one in the family would be at ease.
When she went upstairs, Jiao's mother's eyelids kept jumping, took out the key to open the door, and glanced into the house.
The room was eerily quiet, there was only one cat on the sofa, no other movement, no black cat, as if there were no other creatures.
Hmmm-
The curtain was blown in from the half-open window, and the slightly hot June wind blew in through the window.
Outside the window, the sun was shining.
——————
South City.
A high-rise residence in an elevator room near Nancheng University.
In the bedroom, sunlight shines through the windows and through the gaps in the curtains that are not fully drawn.
The glare of light made the person in the bed frown.
His eyelids moved, and Zheng sighed's eyes opened a slit.
The sun is shining on his face, and when he wakes up and sees the sun, his newly opened eyes immediately close, reflexively raise his hand to block it, and then cover his eyes.
Syllable.
The sound of the slap on the face was quite clear in the quiet room, and the slight pain was clearly transmitted to the brain.
Three seconds later, Zheng Si opened his eyes.
Looking through the fingers, the unfamiliar but somewhat familiar decoration, the curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window is half-hidden, not tightly covered, and the light shines in from there.
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Si's mind was still a little confused, the palm covering his face was raised, and the focus of his eyes fell on the palm.
The palm lines are clear, with five long fingers, not black hairy cat's paws.
"Ma, dreaming again!"
After a few seconds of silence, Zheng Si sat up abruptly, looked at the two palms raised in front of him, Zheng Si rubbed his face vigorously, and tried to make a sound again.
"Ahem! Uh-huh-ah-uh-oh-"
The pronunciation is clear.
When you dream, you don't really speak, do you?
It seems that it has not been a long, long time since I felt this way of talking.
Still not right.
Did you dream of a person when you were a cat, or did you dream of a cat when you were a human?
Zheng Si took off the thin quilt on his body and got out of bed, without shoes, stepped directly on the wooden floor with a layer of dust, walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, and kicked the clothes and pants that were in the way on the ground.
This feeling of walking on two legs is slightly unfamiliar, but it feels natural.
Pull back the curtains and open the floor-to-ceiling windows.
A gust of wind blows in your face, carrying the temperature of the sun.
Zheng Si walked to the balcony, looked at the buildings in the distance, and took a deep breath.
"Ahh
Shouting loudly This kind of pleasure seems to have not been felt for a long time, although his thinking is not too clear now, but Zheng Si just feels that he is shouting like this. It's like I'm going to feel a lot better.
After roaring, Zheng Si habitually looked down diagonally.
On the balcony diagonally below, there was no barbed wire, not a blue-purple parrot with yellow circles jumping there, and there was a six or seven-year-old child standing there, holding an ice cream in his hand, probably because Zheng Si suddenly roared, a little frightened, stunned and looked up at Zheng Si, not even paying attention to the ice cream melting and dripping to the ground.
Retract your gaze. Look into the distance. Zheng Si yelled again.
"Ah——————h
It roared longer than the previous one, as if hysterical.
In the downstairs house, the child standing there was carried into the house by the parents who came out, and the parents looked at Zheng Si as if they were looking at a neuropath.
I don't care about other people's eyes. Ignore the scolding of other residents. Zheng sighed and roared a few times. I went into the house and took a cool shower, and when I came out, my mind was much clearer.
Take the phone on the bedside table and look at the date, June 12, 2013.
Zheng Si scratched his head. Number 12?
There were a series of missed calls on the mobile phone, the caller's name was somewhat familiar, Zheng sighed and looked at the call time, the earliest one was called on the 8th.
didn't care about those missed calls, Zheng Si is still confused, is the cat real, or is the person real? If you dream, it's too true, don't you all say that after dreaming, you wake up and forget it?
Open the Weibo software on the mobile phone, log in automatically, but it is not the "Zheng Si" number in your memory, log out, log in again, and enter a new account password.
After a while...... Ascended!
The dragging black cat avatar is the same as in my memory, and those Weibo, including the school bus game cat incident and the quarrel on the topic of the end of the world, are all on one by one.
If the dream is true......
Zheng Si searched for a few more keywords, such as a movie about a black cat, a documentary, a pet center, and a professor surnamed Jiao, all of which are exactly the same as in his memory.
In the not very big mobile phone screen, there are familiar pictures and pictures that coincide with memories, which makes Zheng sigh and feel painful.
What the hell is going on with this Tama?!
Throwing the mobile phone aside, Zheng Si pondered hard, trying to figure out why, but in the end he couldn't bear his stomach, so he went downstairs to find the nearest restaurant to eat.
The meal tasted like chewing wax, and his attention was not on the meal at all, and he mechanically held the rice spoon and put it in his mouth, but his eyes were looking out the window, thinking about other things.
In the end, before the meal on the plate was finished, Zheng Si made a decision, the ticket could not be booked now, the bullet train could not be booked, he booked a special express ticket, the train at six o'clock in the afternoon, and he could arrive in Chuhua City at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
Since you can't figure it out, let's go and find the answer.
When I walked back out of the restaurant, I passed by a small barber shop, Zheng Si pulled the yellow hair on his head and walked in.
When it came out again, the yellow hair on one end turned black and was cut shorter.
I went back and changed into a simple set of sportswear, and took my mobile phone, bank card, and ID card......
Looking at the avatar and name on the ID card, Zheng Si flicked it lightly at the person on the card, put the card into his wallet, brought some change, and packed it up and went to the station lightly.
At six o'clock the next morning, Zheng Si walked out of the station, did not hail a taxi, but walked to the bus station, looked at the stop signs outside the station and the driving routes of various cars, many familiar station names. After waiting for the bus, I found a window seat and sat down, looking at the streets and buildings outside as the bus went.
Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the billboards about the Dragon Boat Festival in many shops have not been removed, there are many people who go to work at this time, and there are long lines of private cars and buses at the intersection where it is easy to get stuck in traffic. It's a bit hot outside, and the horns of cars and the shouts of people fill the street.
Such weather and things encounter make people easily irritable, but Zheng Si's mind is not on this, it is not irritable, but it is a little complicated.
The mobile phone of a middle-aged passenger in the car rang, and the song carried the feeling of the golden years of the eighties and nineties. Zheng Si heard this song, not from the Internet, nor with the help of other electronic devices, but from a bird to sing. Zheng Si seemed to see the cheap bird with yellow circles shaking his head and singing again.
Some songs that were once disdained are like treasures when recalled many years later, and the time point in which this song is located, the people, things, and things involved, and the emotions aroused can always make people reminisce for a long time.
With this bus and stop at the intersection on another bus, by the window. There was a young man sitting with a bag on his back, holding a bag of buns in his hand and nibbling on it. Noticing that Zheng Si was looking at him, he also looked over this way. Through the two layers of windows, it is still reflective, and the other party's expression is not real.
The indication to turn right in front of him lit up, and the car where Zheng Si was going went first. As the vehicle moved, for a moment, Zheng Si saw the other party's expression and the doubt in his eyes clearly, but soon, the two cars gradually moved away.
When the streetscape becomes familiar. Zheng Si's mood became more and more complicated. A little apprehensive, but also a little happy.
There was a young policeman on the side of the street, who had just caught a thief and was handcuffed. Talking about something with a walkie-talkie.
A trailer for a movie is shown on the big screen in the commercial plaza. Directed by Kong Han. The actors include Wei Wen, Xue Ding, and Tao Qi......
When there were still two stops to go from the original destination site, Zheng Si got off the bus.
Walking along the familiar path in memory, as you pass the outside of the lakeside villa area. A three-legged tortoiseshell cat ran across the street with a mouse in its mouth, glanced at Zheng Si, and then neatly climbed over the fence into the villa. On the side of the road along the lake, a dark gray cat with a black pattern, which was noticeably larger than the other cats, sharpened its paws on a willow tree.
Without making a sound, Zheng Si continued to walk forward. Passing by the affiliated hospital, when passing by a small grocery store, Zheng Si looked over. The store manager with a mean face sat behind the counter, biting his cigarette and instructing the clerk to move the goods, and a white cat squatted on the shelf, looking sharply at the passers-by.
Entering through the side door on the edge of the Chuhua University campus, Zheng Si walked along the wall on the side. Next to a tall tree, on the inconspicuous walled wall, the crooked lines of pencil writing came into view.
"Zheng Heitan visited here, December 12, 2009."
"September 9, 2010."
"February 28, 2011." There's also an abstract sun in the back.
……
Zheng Si raised his finger and touched it on the word, staining it with the black of some pencils.
Twisting his fingers, Zheng Si walked forward along the path next to him, walked through the grove area, passed the old tiled houses, familiar houses, familiar lawns, paths that can be known with his eyes closed, and the compound......
The doorman uncle of the Eastern District compound had poisonous eyes, and he saw Zheng Si's face from the people who entered and exited the courtyard at a glance.
"Hey, who's that guy, who are you looking for?" The doorman uncle leaned out of the window of the guard room, pointed at Zheng Si and shouted.
"I'm looking for Professor Jiao, who lives on the fifth floor of Building B." Zheng Si walked over and said.
"Oh, Mr. Jiao's house, he's not here, he should be in the Academy of Biological Sciences now, but their cat was lost a few days ago, and the family is about to go crazy, young man, do you know the clues of his cat? A cat that has always been pure black, so big, called black charcoal, have you ever seen it? Uncle Janitor asked eagerly.
"I've seen it before." After a pause, Zheng sighed and added: "A very handsome cat." ”
Hearing Zheng Si's answer, the light of hope in the doorman's uncle's eyes dimmed again, and he didn't say anything more, waving his hand to signal that Zheng Si could go in.
Taking a deep breath, Zheng Si raised his foot and went in.
The aunt who came in and out with the vegetable basket glanced at Zheng Si a few times, and probably guessed Zheng Si's origin in her heart.
On a bench under the shade of a tree near the gate of the compound, Old Man Li and Old Man Yan sat there chatting with Xiaohua and Niu Zhuangzhuang. The two old men just glanced at Zheng Si and didn't look at it again, but Xiaohua and Niu Zhuangzhuang's eyes moved with Zheng Si. Niu Zhuangzhuang's small triangular eyes are rare and not as fierce as usual.
Ruan Ying led Sahara out, and when she passed Zheng Si, Sahara took a bite towards Zheng Si's foot with lightning speed, and the speed was completely different from the usual appearance of pretending to be weak. The force is not too big, and it will not bite the foot, but the lower bite is not light, because it left several deep tooth marks and saliva on Zheng Si's sneakers.
Ruan Ying didn't expect that Sahara, who usually doesn't bite people, would suddenly come like this, and quickly apologized to Zheng Si and said compensation. Zheng Si smiled and refused.
When Ruan Ying reprimanded Sahara and left, Sahara also glanced back at Zheng Si, his eyes were slightly provocative, and his tail flicked so much.
Zheng sighed and glared, Sahara, you are waiting, I promise not to kill you!
When he came to the bottom of Building B, Zheng Si's heart beat a little fast, thinking about whether to press the house number directly on the access control, or open his mouth to call someone. At this time, the old lady on the first floor walked to the balcony with the tanuki fat cat, and when she saw Zheng Si, the old lady asked Zheng Si suspiciously, who Zheng Si was looking for, and asked Zheng Si if she had seen a black cat.
After Zheng Si replied. The old lady also looked regretful, "His family is not at home, you go to the Institute of Biological Sciences to find Teacher Jiao, Yuzu should also be over there...... It's a pity that the black charcoal, the Jiao family is crying urgently, Jiao Yuan's kid has come back, he only left last night, Xiao Gu's eyes were still red when he went to work today, alas, what is this called. ”
The old lady was a pity. Broken and babbled. But the big fat next to him stared at Zheng Si.
Zheng Si stretched out his hand to it, and after the big fat glanced at the old lady, he walked over.
"Huh?" The old lady was surprised, "Young man, have you been here before?" My family is fat and not close to strangers. There was another sentence that the old lady did not say. It's not just not about not being close to strangers. Even if the person you know is fat, you don't give face. But the old lady didn't expect that the big fat person would be so familiar.
Zheng sighed "um". He didn't know how to answer, so he scratched his chin for Da Fat, then got up and said to the old lady, "Then I'll go find Teacher Jiao." You're busy first. ”
Although she was puzzled, the old lady didn't ask much. However, after Zheng Si left, Da Fat also followed.
In the big yard, under the trees that are not too dense and not too tall, a cat with black and white flowers is scratching and playing with insects in the grass, and a yellow cat is holding the tree and pouting its butt and grinding its paws.
Zheng Si walked over and lifted Ah Huang, who was grinding his claws, "You second goods!" After holding back these words for ten years, I finally said it.
The sheriff, who heard the movement, stopped playing with the bugs and walked over.
Zheng Si sat down on a long wooden chair nearby, jumped on the bench with the big fat who came over, and squatted beside him. As before.
On summer mornings, the temperature rises as the sun rises. There was wind, bursts of wind, blowing the leaves of the trees.
People who go to work, go to school, and buy vegetables in the compound will look at the benches when they pass by, they used to see four cats squatting side by side, but now the black cat of the Jiao family is gone, but they see one person and three cats sitting there, it's really strange, when did these three cats become so familiar with the same person?
After sitting on the bench for a while and calming down, Zheng Si patted the three cats, "Let's go first, and I'll come back to play with you later." ”
When he got up to leave the compound and walked along the road to the intersection, a school bus passed by, and Zheng Si hurriedly beckoned.
The driver was the bald head, and for the sake of the image, he wore a hat.
It's class time now, and there is no one in the car, so the bald driver talks to Zheng Si, who is sitting in the passenger seat.
"Young man, are you from our school?" The bald driver asked.
"No, but I've been here a lot before, and I've been in your car a few times." Zheng sighed and replied.
The bald driver took advantage of the gap when someone got out of the car, looked at Zheng Si, shook his head, and said affirmatively: "Impossible, I definitely have an impression if you come here often and take my car." ”
"Oh, that's probably my mistake, sitting in another master's car." Zheng Si didn't dwell on this issue.
The bald driver glanced at Zheng Si with pity: "When you are young, your memory is not as good as mine, go back and ask your mother to get you more fish heads, walnuts or something to replenish your brain." ”
Zheng sighed: "...... Hehe. ”
"Don't take it seriously, I'll tell you......"
"Master, I'll get out of the car!"
was told all the way by the bald driver, and finally arrived at the place, Zheng Si couldn't wait to get out of the car, looked at the familiar college gate, and walked in.
The doorman uncle who was sitting on the side of the courtyard gate saw Zheng Si walking so confidently, thought about it, and still didn't stop this fresh face.
Where is Jiao's father's office, Zheng Si is very familiar. When he came to the door of the office, Yi Xin happened to come out of it, and the sound of Xiaoyu and Jiao's father talking came from inside, which was not loud, and as Yi Xin closed the door, the sound was also cut off.
Yi Kimchi looked at the person in front of him strangely, thinking that it was an undergraduate student in the academy, and left after casually asking who to find.
Zheng Si stood at the door, clasping the door.
"Come in." There was a voice from inside.
Zheng Si twisted the door lock and pushed it open.
