Chapter 223: The Black Cat on the Wall

Zheng Si had heard too many such words, especially such words with strong disgust.

Zheng sighed and paused and looked in the direction of the sound just now.

Over there, beside a tall cedar, two men were standing. One was about forty years old and looked like a noblewoman, while the other was already full of gray hair and a pale shawl, and the whole person exuded a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

And it was the middle-aged woman who spoke up just now. She hugged the old man next to her, and looked at Zheng Si with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

Zheng Si is still strange, he didn't provoke this, why did he feel like he had a grudge as soon as he said it. However, the old lady next to the middle-aged woman did not have any disgust in her eyes, but had a look and a little kind smile.

"What's so bad about black cats." The old lady said, obviously disapproving of what the people around her had just said.

However, this old lady seems to be in poor physical condition, and her voice is not loud and soft, compared to the old ladies in the courtyard who sing opera without pressure, this one is inevitably a little lacking in energy.

The middle-aged woman tugged at the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it directly, paused, and said, "Mom, let's go over there for a walk." ”

"It's good here, you don't have to change places." The old lady shook her head and patted the hand of the person next to her, "I know you think the black cat is unlucky." ”

The middle-aged woman wanted to argue, but when she opened her mouth, she was stopped by the old lady raising her hand, and the old lady knew what she wanted to say.

Most of the people in the hospital are patients, some of whom are in the recovery period, and some, like this old lady, sometimes don't want to be locked up in the ward all day during the hospitalization and observation, and will come out and walk around and wait behind her after getting permission from the doctor. There could be an operation, but it hasn't been decided yet.

The old lady also felt that the ward was too stuffy today, and after communicating with the doctor, she asked her daughter-in-law to help her down and walk around to breathe, and a wheelchair was originally arranged, but the old lady did not sit. A nurse followed not far behind them, presumably to prevent something from happening.

Zheng Si felt that this old lady was also quite attractive when she laughed. It seems to have a magical effect that calms down the impetuous heart. When Zheng Si heard that targeted sentence just now, his unhappy mood disappeared completely.

This old lady must have been a beauty when she was young. Zheng sighed.

There are many people with beautiful skin in this era, but unfortunately, even if they were once peerless, they can't stand the pig-killing knife of the years. However, the years take away the skin, but not the temperament of the body. Everyone has old age, but it is not easy to be elegant all the time.

Perhaps tired of walking, the old lady looked around and walked to the wooden bench on the side of the road, intending to sit down and rest for a while.

After seeing the old lady's movements, the nurse who followed behind her hurriedly took a few steps forward and put a layer of cool cushion on the wooden chair.

The old lady smiled and thanked the nurse, and the young nurse suddenly had a better impression of the old man.

The middle-aged woman looked at Zheng Si. still couldn't help but dislike it, and scolded the black cat on the wall thousands of times in his heart. No way, in the hospital, many people are more particular, and some things are taboo, just like sending fruits to apples, few people send pears, two days ago the old lady still wants to eat pears. It took her a lot of time to get the old lady to agree to another fruit. But now, what to do when you see a black cat?

Many people think that black cats are evil, especially in such a place at such a time, middle-aged women always feel unlucky, especially the cat's eyes when looking at people, which makes her feel hairy in her heart, and she originally wanted to go over and drive the cat away. It can be seen that the old lady is like this, and it is impossible to rush it. I want to take the old lady to other places, but now the old lady is still sitting down!

What to do?!

He didn't say much, but Zheng Si could see a strong disgust and rejection in the middle-aged woman's eyes. This made Zheng Si, who was about to lift his feet and leave, change his mind.

Zheng sighs like this sometimes. is a little stubborn, and with a rebellious mood. The more you hate me, the more you want me to leave, I just don't!

So, Zheng Si squatted on the high wall, glared at the middle-aged woman, and shook the tip of her tail twice proudly. The middle-aged woman was so angry that her face twitched, but because the old lady was beside her, she had to endure it and not have a seizure, if it had been in normal times, she would have called someone to do it.

The old lady looked in the direction of Zheng Si and said with a smile: "I also saw a lot of black cats when I was a child, and at that time our old man there said that black cats are spiritual creatures that can ward off evil spirits. ”

The middle-aged woman disdained this statement in her heart, and also exorcised evil spirits, she saw that the cat itself was "evil"!

"Don't believe it, I remember that our village was ...... at that time" The old lady looked in the direction of Zheng Si, but her eyes seemed to be recalling many things many years ago through Zheng Si.

The old lady said something, the middle-aged woman should only listen to the story, and the disgust for the cat on the wall in her heart has not been reduced much, if it is herself in the hospital, she definitely does not want to see this pure black cat, it will definitely make people drive it away, and beat it so that it does not dare to come closer.

It is estimated that the old lady was addicted to recalling the past because of Zheng Si's relationship, and she also told some interesting things in her memory.

"I didn't expect you, old lady, to be very naughty back then." The young nurse next to him quipped.

"yes, I was a crazy girl back then." The old lady didn't mind lifting her old bottom at all, and sighed after speaking: "This person, when I think back to my youth, I really feel that it has changed a lot." Disadvantages, advantages, old habits, new habits, just like urban construction, some places have to be demolished, some places will be newly built, and when you look at it every few years, you find that it has changed a lot unconsciously. ”

The young nurse didn't know what to say at this time, she didn't know the old lady, she was afraid that saying the wrong thing would cause the old lady to feel sad, for an old man of this age, a little illness could be fatal, among them, emotions are very important.

The middle-aged woman saw that the old lady's words were wrong, so she hurriedly picked out other topics. But she didn't want to, the old lady didn't want to change the topic at all, looked at the black cat on the wall and said to the middle-aged woman: "I see, this cat is really spiritual." ”

Spiritual fart! Middle-aged woman belly slander.

The old lady rose up and beckoned to Zheng Si, "Hey, the black cat on the wall, do you have time to come over and talk to the old woman?" ”

What does it know? The middle-aged woman was about to comfort the old lady, but she didn't want to, when she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow on the other side of the wall. When I looked over, I found that the cat that was squatting on the fence had jumped down and was walking slowly over here.

This time it was not only the middle-aged woman and the young nurse, but even the old lady was surprised, she just said casually that she really didn't expect the cat to come.

Zheng Si had a good impression of this old lady, so he decided to give some face. The other one is to anger the middle-aged woman.

Seeing Zheng Sizhen coming, the old lady was happy, beckoned and patted the wooden chair next to her, and motioned for Zheng Si to sit next to her.

The middle-aged woman wanted to say that there were many germs on the cat, but she was finally in a good mood when she saw that the old lady was finally in a good mood. I don't dare to speak indiscriminately.

Zheng Si was not polite, and jumped on the bench in the past,

Although the middle-aged woman endured it, when Zheng Si walked over, she couldn't help but move to the side as if avoiding the plague, not wanting to get too close to the cat.

"Look, what am I talking about, this cat has a spirit, right?"

The old lady raised her hand and touched Zheng Si's head. Zheng Si tilted his head to avoid it. The old lady didn't care, she felt that the cats seemed to be more vigilant, and it was good to be able to come, so the joy in the old lady's heart did not diminish at all.

This time, the young nurse found an opportunity and hurriedly said, "Really, in this way, this cat can exorcise evil spirits." "She was going to say that this cat would get rid of the sickness. But she thought about it again, she couldn't talk nonsense, otherwise she couldn't afford what happened in the end.

What can be said? Even though the middle-aged woman was very repulsed by the cat on the wooden chair, she had to laugh and echo two sentences to make the old lady feel relieved.

Zheng Si stayed by the old lady's side with a villainous look, looking at the middle-aged woman's eyes with a little provocation.

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and suppressed the surging anger in her heart, she thought that she was thinking too much. How could there be such a look in a cat's eyes, but the more she looked, the more she felt that it was not an illusion caused by her emotions, and she immediately clenched her fists.

Because I have to take care of the old lady. Her long nails had been cut, and if they hadn't been for that, they would have pierced her palms when she clenched her fists.

Zheng Si looked at the middle-aged woman's small movements and was very disdainful. Although this looks like a broad wife, not to mention jewelry-taking care of patients does not dare to dress up too much, judging from the dress and facial maintenance, she used to be a very sought-after beauty, but compared to the old lady next to her, Zheng Si felt that this middle-aged woman was also an old goblin when she was old. Perhaps, this is the difference in temperament?

Shaking his head, Zheng Si squatted beside the old lady, he could see that this old lady was a sick person, a little weak, such a good person, Zheng Si hoped that she could get healthy and see more of this city that was changing rapidly. From the look in her eyes when she looked at her memories, Zheng Si felt that this old man still had a lot of people and things that he couldn't let go of, but time waited for no one.

As it became more and more tilted, the old man had to go back to the ward, and Zheng Si was about to get up and leave.

Before getting up, the old lady raised her hand and was about to touch Zheng Si's cat head again, but Zheng Si reflexively avoided it, and the man's head couldn't be touched. However, thinking of the old lady in front of her, she suddenly felt a little unbearable, and before she could withdraw her hand, Zheng Si raised her forehand and touched it on the old lady's palm.

I wish you good health, this unknown old lady.

After the touch, before the three of them could react, Zheng Si climbed over the wall and left.

The old lady looked at her palms and smiled.

The young nurse not far from the old lady looked at the old man standing there and thought to herself, this is really not easy. From black hair to silver threads, his red face faded, his steps faltered, and he was troubled by illness, but he still smiled calmly.

The old lady pulled on her shawl and said softly, "Let's get ready for surgery." ”

"Mom, you really decided that?! Let's think about it again, you can't ...... because of that cat" The middle-aged woman was very worried, if she didn't choose surgery, she could survive for three or five years, the risk of surgery was too great, and it was okay if it was successful, and the old lady could also see the changes in the city over the years, but if it didn't work, she would never see the city again.

The old lady shook her head, but said nothing more. I really made up my mind to see it like this.
