Chapter 41: Black Tan, What's the Matter with You?
Without a corresponding animal protection law, relying solely on moral criticism will certainly not be able to quell public anger, and this era is not like ten years later, when a little thing can be directly posted on the Internet** or video.
However, even if it can attract more people's attention and criticism, it is not enough to give the abuser enough punishment.
What can criticism be? What is the use of moral restraint?
Can these three kittens be resurrected, or can this female cat be given a fair run?
No, the tattooed man doesn't even have to pay a fine, and moral criticism is like a fart for him, and as soon as the wind blows, it will disperse.
"I'm going to your own cat! Nosy, they're all impatient, aren't they?! The tattooed man yelled at the muttering crowd around him.
The act of beating people just now obviously made the onlookers have some scruples, the voice was not as loud as that, and the person who came out to accuse was also beaten down.
That body of muscles and tattoos, coupled with this style, is obviously not a good stubble, and maybe it will kill people.
"Hurry up, what are you doing blocking my door? Looking for a draw, isn't it? β
The tattooed man pushed the surrounding people away, and the circle of people gradually left.
When leaving, there were a few aunts who sighed in a low voice, "What a sin" and "That cat is so pitiful".
Actually, there are a lot of similar things, and similar things happen every day in this city.
For a cat, there is not even relative fairness, and there is not even an absolute protection system and regulations, what can be relied on may be a good owner, or, become as strong as "Li Yuanba".
However, living in this metropolis made of steel and iron mud, even "Li Yuanba" chose a "den" and a "swallow" who would take care of and help him.
What kind of life does a solitary cat really live? Zheng Si only knew some things from others, and some people said that such stray cats could live well, but after seeing today's scene, Zheng Si was a little skeptical. There are definitely those who are doing well, but there are also those who are doing badly.
The three kittens on the ground were the last to be cleaned up by an uncle, wrapped in a towel and taken away, and the big cat followed behind the uncle and barked as he walked. The tattooed man stood next to him and smoked, sneering at the uncle and flicking the cigarette butt over there.
"Aren't they just a few broken cats, all the fuss! Bah! The tattooed man spat on the bloody ground and walked away humming a little song.
Zheng Si walked behind the uncle, watching the uncle walk into a side gate of Chuhua University and bury the kitten wrapped in a towel in a small forest.
After burying it, the uncle sat on the ground next to him and gasped, looked at the big cat that circled around there, and reached out to touch the head of the big white cat, "Although this place is far away from there, it is estimated that the old building area will be demolished in two years, and the buried ones will also be dug out." And not here, this is a very good university, the environment is good, and the people are better...... You will live well in the future. Otherwise, you come with me, I don't live in that old building area, I live around here, although the conditions are not good, but it will not make you starving. β
Zheng Si didn't know if the big white cat could understand the uncle's words, it just clinged to the ground where the kitten was buried, lying there, not moving. The uncle tried to pick it up, but it struggled not to leave.
The uncle waited for a while, and then went to hug it again, but this time the big cat didn't struggle.
Zheng Si squatted not far away and watched them, after they left, Zheng Si still squatted there, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, his mind was a little chaotic, and he didn't seem to think about anything. When I came back to my senses, it was already dark.
I moved, maybe I squatted like this for too long, and my whole body was a little stiff and a little cold.
Zheng Si took a few deep breaths, and after moving slowly, he became active and trotted back to the East Family Compound.
When Zheng Si went home, Jiao's father was sweeping the floor, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi were helping to clean up, Jiao's mother was washing dishes in the kitchen, and there was a smell of wine and strangers in the house. However, seeing familiar people and smelling familiar smells still made Zheng Si feel at ease.
After getting into the little grapefruit quilt at night, Zheng Si never fell asleep. The little grapefruit next to him was already asleep, and Zheng Si still kept his eyes open, looking at the ceiling in the house, and didn't fall asleep until more than three o'clock in the morning. But I couldn't sleep well, and I always dreamed of what I saw today, and of the three kittens lying on the ground.
Zheng Si dreamed that he was standing on the bloodstained ground, looking at the tattooed man smoking a cigarette standing against the wall. Lying beside them were the three kittens. There was a circle of faceless people around.
Due to dreaming of some pictures, Zheng Si, who was dreaming, stretched out his paw and scratched it, and cut a big hole in Xiaoyuzi's bedding.
The next day, Jiao's mother looked at the torn quilt cover and said, "It is estimated that the black charcoal is dreaming of catching mice." β
"But today Black Carbon doesn't look very good." Xiao Yuzi pointed to Zheng sigh who was wilting on the sofa and said.
Jiao Yuan stared at Zheng Si, and then raised his hand to hold up Zheng Si: "Black Cat Warrior, transform!" β
Zheng Si was still wilting, he didn't slap Jiao Yuan's hand like last time, and he didn't struggle, letting Jiao Yuan play around like this.
"Black Cat Warrior, Transform!"
Jiao Yuan tried again, and when he saw that the black cat in his hand was still the same, he hurriedly said to Jiao's mother: "Mom, the black charcoal is really wrong!" β
Jiao's mother didn't care about sewing and mending the quilt cover at hand, so she quickly picked up Zheng Si and looked at it, "Hei Tan, what's wrong with you?" β
Zheng Si snorted weakly.
"Go and call Xiao Guo and take Hei Tan to see a doctor. Don't catch a cold. Jiao's mother said to Jiao's father next to her.
After making the call, Jiao's father rode a small electric belt to Zheng Si and went to Xiao Guo and them. The three people who stayed at home couldn't sit still, so they went out of Dongdaemun and called a taxi to the pet center.
Hearing that Zheng Si was sick, Xiao Guo hurriedly put down the work at hand and went to his brother's diagnosis and treatment area in person, so that his brother must take a closer look.
After carefully examining Zheng Si's various physical characteristics, Xiao Guo said, "It's not like I'm sick, it's just that I'm in a bad mood." β
Feeling bad?
Zheng Si is really in a bad mood, I can't tell what it feels like, I just feel stuffy, and a little anxious, in short, all kinds of irritability.
"When I went out yesterday, I was fine, and when I came back, my spirit was not very good, I thought it was tired of going out to play." Jiao's father said.
"What did it run into when you went out yesterday?" Xiao Guo was puzzled.
Xiao Guo's brother thought for a while and said, "I heard yesterday that someone killed three unweaned kittens in the alley of the old building area, is this the reason?" β
"Huh? What's going on? Xiao Guo asked. Yesterday he had been working on photos in the studio, and he didn't know what was going on outside the road.
Xiao Guo's brother told him about the Dao, and when he heard Zheng Si want to cover his ears, the scene in his dream seemed to appear in front of him again. The image made him very uncomfortable, and even more depressed.
Zheng Si secretly sighed, but he didn't expect that his psychology was really fragile. Didn't they all look like they weren't afraid of heaven and earth before? Could it be the reason why I stayed up late and didn't sleep well? Well, sleep deprivation for sure.
Thinking about it, while the three people next to him were talking, Zheng Si fell asleep with his eyes closed.
When the three of them finished talking, they looked at the black cat who was asleep with their eyes closed, and they were a little speechless for a while.
"This must be the reason why I didn't sleep well, right? No one will be in a good mood if they don't sleep well. Xiao Guo said helplessly.
After determining that there were no other reasons for the injury of their cat, the people of the Jiao family were relieved.
When Zheng Si woke up, he was already at Jiao's house, and it was dark.
"Wake up, wake up!" Jiao Yuan shouted excitedly.
There was still a little grapefruit sitting next to her, and Jiao's mother and Jiao's father also hurried over when they heard the sound.
After a good night's sleep, Zheng Si's spirit was much better, and he ate a big bowl of rice prepared for him by Jiao's mother.
Zheng Si stretched a big lazy waist after eating, and the wilting black cat in the morning came to life again!
"Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up, change your clothes, it's cold at night." Jiao's mother greeted the two children.
Well? Is this going out?
Zheng Si looked at the four people who were changing clothes.
"Mom, let's take the black charcoal with us." Jiao Yuan said.
Jiao's mother didn't answer immediately, and looked at Jiao's father.
Dad Jiao thought for a while, "Take it, use your schoolbag." But there are too many people watching the fireworks at that time, so you have to be careful. β
"Good!"
Watching fireworks?
Zheng Si looked at the wall calendar, it turned out that today was the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and the merchants at the central department store would set off fireworks on the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and many people went to see it.
After cleaning up, the four members of the Jiao family went out with a cat.
When I walked over there, I also met some other people in the compound, as well as some faculty and staff with their families in the west family area, and everyone greeted each other with a smile.
Jiao's father was holding Jiao Yuan's schoolbag in his hand, and Zheng Si stayed in it and looked out from the open zipper. There are so many people walking towards the central department store, and almost all of the people walking around are going there.
When they arrived, there were already many people standing in the square in front of the central department store. Jiao Yuan wanted to squeeze in again, but Jiao's father pulled him and found a place to stand.
"You don't have to get too close, there's a lot of dust falling over there, and it's easy to get hurt. It's not too far here. Jiao's father said.
It's only seven o'clock, and there's still half an hour left before the fireworks are set off. They came to take their seats in advance. The place chosen by Jiao's father is quite inside, and it is estimated that it will be blocked outside when there are more people later.
There are several high platforms around the square, and the high platforms are all cordoned off around them, and there is a certain distance from the viewing crowd. Those are the places where the fireworks are fired.
When it was almost time to set off the fireworks, Jiao's mother took out her glasses and masks and handed them to the two children. The glasses are flat glasses to prevent the dust in the air from falling into the eyes when looking, while the masks are to prevent too much dust from choking and not breathing too much after a while.
Jiao's father carried his schoolbag on his chest, and Jiao's mother protected the two children in the middle.
Zheng Si looked around from the zipper of the schoolbag with some novelty, and it was full of people, much denser than when he first came.
Suddenly, all the street lights in the square went out.
The voices in the square suddenly fell silent as the lights went out, and then whispered discussions, which was a prelude to the beginning.
After the light went out, Zheng Si directly exposed his entire head.
At this time, there was no light, and no one would have thought that someone watching fireworks would actually have a cat with them!
Boom!
A large ceremonial flower bloomed in the air and kicked off.
Bang bang bang!
The roar of fireworks is endless.
Zheng Si looked up at the sky, because it was relatively close, the fireworks seemed to burst above his head, and the people standing below seemed to be about to be burned by the falling sparks. These sparks fade out as they approach the crowd below, with only a few dust falling at the end.
Each flying spark may seem faint and monotonous, but when they come together, it has an irresistible charm.
It's not like what you see on TV, and it's not the same as when you watch it from a distance.
The fireworks dominate all the light in the sky at this moment, bright and colorful. For those standing below, the piece of color seems to be within reach.
Zheng Si felt that the boredom in his heart seemed to explode happily with that roar, shatter, and disappear with the evening breeze.
Suddenly, there was a feeling of enlightenment. Of course, it would be better if you ignored the dust that fell and the pungent smell around you.
Not far from them, a parent was afraid of his child running around, so he held him in his arms. The child may have had some dust in his eyes, lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and when he opened it to look around, he saw the exposed cat head on Jiao's father's schoolbag hanging on his chest, and the cat's ears were still bouncing because of some dust that kept falling.
"Daddy, there's a catβ"
However, the child's voice was drowned out by the roar of the fireworks, and only his father heard a little.
"What? My eyes still hurt, so I came to my father to blow it. β
The child slapped his father away, "There's a cat-"
"Yes, yes, there are fireworks, there are fireworks! Look, how beautiful the fireworks are! β
Child: "......"
When the fireworks finally stopped, the crowd began to disperse.
Jiao's father waited for the people around him to disperse for a while before he began to walk out.
Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi still had excitement on their faces, and they kept talking about what kind of fireworks were good when they walked home.
"The firefighters are probably busy today." Jiao's mother sighed.
When I got home, everyone had a strong smell on their bodies, and they washed it hard, and Zheng sighed that he had taken a bath for a long time.
After taking a bath and drying his hair, Zheng Si got into the quilt of Xiaoyuzi.
Yuzu wrote a diary before going to sleep. Like the previous times of writing diaries, after writing the diary, she would press Zheng Si's paw on it and draw a circle, and then add a few strokes, so in several diaries, the back of the diary has a painting of a cat's palm.
After Xiaoyuzi turned off the light and went to sleep, Zheng Si exposed his head outside the futon and stretched out a palm to expose his shrunken sharp claws.
Looking at the claws in the dark, Zheng Si felt that, in fact, he could do something.
