Chapter 57: How Many Legs Does a Cat Walk?

When Zheng Si got out of the car, the sky was already a little cloudy.

Because he was so involved in thinking about things, Zheng Si didn't pay attention to how long the little bread had been running, and he didn't even expect it to be unlucky like this.

I just happened to get in a car, and the car went out of town. It's not even clear whether this place is still in Nancheng, but according to the time, I'm afraid it has already been far away from Nancheng.

As far as the eye can see, there are patches of woods and fields that stretch all the way to the horizon.

The countryside is not poor, and the houses of the inhabitants are more modern, and only a few places still retain the old-fashioned tiled houses.

Zheng Si didn't know where this place was on the map, but seeing that many of the houses of those residents were two- or three-story bungalows, it was good to know that the living conditions of these people were good, so it was easier to find a phone, and if it was too poor, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find a telephone.

Zheng Si first wrote down the address of the minivan driver's home, and if the driver left the car again, he could continue to rub the car. After that, Zheng Si was going to take a walk around to familiarize himself with the terrain and this unfamiliar environment, and if he wanted to wait for the opportunity, he had to spend the waiting days peacefully.

Look at which households are easier to get started and find food, and which villagers have telephones at home and how easy it is to find opportunities to make calls. Another important thing is to find yourself a safer place.

If it is safe, Zheng Si still prefers relatively tall branches. Maybe it's because the temperature here is slightly higher than in the central part of the country, so it's a little warmer. Many deciduous trees are leafy, which is conducive to Zheng Si's hiding.

Walking around the village, Zheng Si encountered a few local dogs, as well as cats that were catching insects and playing outside, all of which were free-range. Seeing them wandering around leisurely, Zheng Si was also relieved, and seeing these cats and dogs hanging out means that there is no one here to play dogs and cats.

I found a big locust tree with lush foliage and green shade as a temporary foothold when the weather was fine, Zheng Si jumped up and tried it, and was generally satisfied. I chose a branch and lay down. Take a look around.

Here you can see the situation on the other side of the village, and at the same time, it is not very close, so you will not be harassed by those villagers.

There is a citrus orchard near this locust tree, and two earth dogs are leashed in it. Zheng Si just saw a cat enter the citrus orchard and walk in front of the two dogs. The two dogs just looked at him. And then there was no reaction. It is estimated that they are already familiar with each other and are too lazy to call.

A black butterfly flies past the big locust tree and into the citrus orchard. Fly among the citrus trees.

Zheng Si remembered that this seemed to be a kind of phoenix butterfly, and he had seen similar ones in Old Man Lan's small flower garden before, and the last butterfly that flew into the small flower garden was made into a specimen by Old Man Lan. There were still a few students present at the time, and Zheng Si heard them talking, saying that in some places, this kind of phoenix butterfly is the legendary Liang Zhudie.

This Liang Zhu butterfly is also particular, and as a Liang Zhu butterfly, this butterfly must be a sexual type two. Sexual dimorphism means that there are distinct differences between females and males, and people can judge their sex by these differences.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are a man and a woman, and when they are linked to legends, people feel that they should also be distinguished when they turn into butterflies. On the contrary, for example, the Dharma butterfly in the butterfly species, because the color of the male and female butterfly is similar, it is not easy to distinguish clearly, so it is not advocated as a Liang Zhu butterfly.

Zheng sighed at the pattern on the wings of this butterfly, like a female butterfly, that is, "Zhu Yingtai"?

Zheng Si was admiring "Zhu Yingtai", and suddenly, the cat that had walked into the citrus orchard jumped up from behind a citrus tree, slapped the butterfly down with one paw, slapped it a few times in a row, played with its paws, and then ate it.

Zheng sighed: "......"

I wonder how those who tell the story of the legend will feel when they see this scene.

Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turned into butterflies and were eaten by cats? It is estimated that the expression of the person who heard this cruel version of the story must be as constipated.

With a yawn, Zheng squinted his eyes and began to sleep. There is no way, if you want to do something, you have to wait for the night.

Zheng Si had a dream when he was sleeping, dreaming of the days in Jiao's house during the Chinese New Year, I remember that day Zheng Si and the two children sat on the sofa and watched TV, which played "Watching the Dog Talking", at that time Jiao Yuan also said, "Black charcoal, you must remember the way home, if you get lost and we can't find you, can you come back by yourself?" ”

Staying in Nancheng or trying to find a way to go back to Chuhua City, Zheng Si has been conflicted about this problem, but in the end he decided to go back to Chuhua City, after all, the lives of cats and people are different, and it is really not easy to find a good family, not to mention, Zheng Si has begun to miss the East District Compound.

Waiting until nightfall, Zheng Si jumped down from the locust tree and walked towards the villagers' houses.

People in this place eat dinner early and go to bed early, which also saves Zheng Si from waiting too long.

I found a few families first, turned out some food to eat, it was not very delicious, and I could only settle for it. After eating, I went to find the phone, which was a bit difficult.

People in this area also like to keep the telephone in the bedroom, and also at the head of the bed, which means that the phone is always guarded at night. Zheng Si has changed several houses, which is the case. Even if these villagers fell asleep at night, Zheng Si did not dare to go over and call immediately, because the telephone was at the end of their bed, which could easily wake them up.

Zheng Si didn't want to be regarded as a monster, so he could only continue to look for it to see if there were any residents who could do it.

Those who have dogs at home, Zheng Si will not choose, these dogs do not know Zheng Si, and they bark when they see them. Zheng Si can't help this, but most of the villagers have dogs at home, which makes Zheng Si's choice much narrower.

The good thing is that Zheng Si really found a good tenant in the end, and what is even more coincidental is that this household is the driver of the minivan.

Hiding in the dark and listening to the villagers talk about some things, Zheng Si realized that the younger brother of the minivan driver was about to get married, and he went to Nancheng a few days ago to have something. By the way, I bought some related supplies and helped bring some home appliances.

The wedding date is the day after tomorrow, this family has a big courtyard, because they have an open-air banquet, but the house is not big enough, so they start a gang in the courtyard. Now most of the people in his family are busy in the yard, and they will light the lights at night when it gets dark and continue to work.

That way, there is no one in the room, and even better, the family doesn't have a dog yet. This made Zheng Si very satisfied.

The ground floor is occupied by the elderly. The phone is not here, and there is nothing in the hall, so Zheng Si doesn't look at it much.

There is also a simple shed next to the two-story building of this family, which can be used for cars. Zheng Si climbed into the second floor from this simple carport.

There is a telephone in the bedroom on the second floor. Same as any other householder. Landline phones are also placed on the bedside table. Zheng Si observed, there were indeed no adults on the second floor at this time, and they all went to the yard to help. There was a small girl in the small room next door. It looked like she was in kindergarten, and she was lying on the floor covered with foam board to read a book.

As long as there are no adults, even if they are seen by such children who can't count, Zheng Si also feels that it doesn't matter, and adults don't take children's words seriously.

Zheng Si jumped in from the window, ran towards the telephone excitedly, jumped on the bedside table, picked up the receiver and dialed the number he knew by heart, of course, this time he definitely didn't forget to add 0 in front of the mobile phone number, as for the landline number, Zheng Si didn't remember what the area code of Chuhua City was, so he dialed Jiao's father's mobile phone.

At this time, everyone in the Jiao family should be at home, right? Associate Professor Jiao should also be at home.

Zheng Si waited happily after dialing the phone, but listening to the prompt sound on the phone, Zheng Si's mood suddenly became gloomy again.

Paralysis! This machine didn't open a long-distance lock!

You have to find the key to unlock the lock!

Where can I find the key?!

Zheng Si rummaged through the drawer, but he didn't see the small key to turn on the long-distance lock of the walkie-talkie. He wondered, as for locking up the long-distance lock of this machine? Isn't it supposed to be a place like this where long-distance calls should be used a lot?

Frustratedly putting the microphone back back, Zheng Si squatted there and thought about it, won't the phones in these villagers' homes be locked for long distances, try them one by one? But it's best to steal the driver's phone, and other people's phones are fine, at least the phone won't be as cumbersome as a landline.

I looked at this bedroom, because there was a happy event at home, there were a lot of sweets and the like on the table, as well as other snacks, which were probably specially used to entertain guests.

Zheng Si turned over a bag of beef jerky from a big bag, as well as shredded squid, took it out and re-zipped the zipper of the big bag, then jumped out of the window, holding two bags of snacks and preparing to leave.

When standing at the window, Zheng Si was holding the snack in his hands, standing on the windowsill with two legs, ready to jump. Before jumping, Zheng Si noticed that someone was looking at this side and looked sideways.

The little girl who was reading a picture book next door just now was hiding outside the door of this bedroom and looking at this side, not screaming, with curiosity in her eyes.

Zheng Si paused, then ignored her and jumped off the windowsill directly. It's not so convenient to jump on two legs, but it's okay to jump a few times when looking for a phone. can hold things with free hands, Zheng Si is also willing to do this, anyway, no one except the little girl saw it at this time, I was very afraid, and I wouldn't stay in this place forever, and it was a big deal to run away if I was discovered.

Zheng Si walked in a chic manner, but it had a great impact on the child.

In the evening, the child's mother came and taught the little girl to count with a picture book, from one to ten. In order to match the memory, her mother also deliberately combined some things in reality to teach.

"How many legs does a bird walk?" Her mother asked.

"Two." The little girl held out two fingers.

"How many legs does the big yellow dog walk?"

"Four-of-a-kind!" The little girl counted the legs of the big yellow dog in the picture book and said.

"Yes, that's smart, how many legs does a kitten walk?" Her mom asked with a smile on her face.

The little girl thought about the cat she saw today, counted it on her fingers, and then stretched out two fingers, "Two!" ”

Her mother: "......"

Zheng Si didn't know the impact he had caused at all, and at this moment he was walking towards the big locust tree with two bags of snacks. At this time, there was no one in the field, and there were only a few dogs guarding the orchard, and no one would see that there was a cat that walked on two legs and walked very naturally.

Zheng Si walked while pondering how to "borrow" his mobile phone, and suddenly heard a faint chirp. After listening with his ears on his ears, Zheng Si felt that it was a bit like the sound of a dog.

Putting down the snacks in his hand, Zheng Si walked over to the side where the voice came, if there was any danger, like this, the four legs still ran faster.

There is a pit over there, it is estimated that someone used to store water and raise something, and now the pit is full of weeds. And at this moment there is an iron cage in this pit, and there are three puppies in the cage, two of them lying there without moving, only one with a slightly larger head crawling in it, constantly making a sound of chirping. (To be continued.) )
