It was about five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were already signs of an imminent typhoon, and the shops on both sides of the street had long been closed.
"Click-......" is the crisp and dull sound of high heels stepping on the ground, a tall and slender girl, with waist-length hair, her head bowed, walking on the deserted and damp street full of worries. She was wearing a black suspender belt with a black transparent blouse, a pair of thin light blue short jeans, a pair of straight and slender legs stepping on silver stiletto heels, walking in a graceful and stiff manner, and her heels that were a little red and swollen seemed to be marked by these cheap high heels.
Occasionally, a pedestrian passed by her quickly, and glanced at this unhurried figure in surprise, and her heart could not help but feel a sense of distress and pity, and she did not seem to feel sorry for herself at all, even if the storm was coming, she walked slowly and lonely, and the wind raised her hair to cover her face.
Suddenly, she stopped, in front of her was a little cat that looked embarrassed, cowering under the eaves, wet, cloudy eyes full of panic and helplessness, as an animal, it should have a premonition of the coming storm, but it had no place to shelter from the wind and rain, only lying under the eaves, curling up her thin and injured body, she felt that her heart seemed to have a little throbbing, for this little kitten, but also for herself.
Looking at the girl who stopped in front of her, Qiuqiu had a strange feeling, a feeling of sympathy, and even he couldn't believe it when he thought about it. However, after so many days of wandering, no one looked at her with a look of pity and dislike, she seemed to understand what she was going through, that she did not want to be what she is now, that she was not born like this, and that she was once an optimistic, contented and healthy kitten.
It couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in its heart, propping up its frozen body, and it slowly and timidly walked up to her, it liked this girl very much, and it was the first time it had a heartfelt liking when it saw someone for the first time, perhaps because of the same magnetic attraction. It wagged its tail at her flatteringly, it had not wagged its little tail so slowly for a long time, which indicated that it was in a happy and relaxed mood, and seeing that the girl was not angry or walked away, it took another step, leaned its nose over and sniffed her delicate feet, stuck out its tongue and licked its ankles.
The moist itchy feeling from her ankle made her uncomfortable, she was about to turn around and walk away, but the uncomfortable feeling made her stay, she knew that she was pinned on this little thing, she could let many people down, but she couldn't bear to let this little guy who was already desperate cut off the last hope. However, she could not afford to support a cat, she had difficulty supporting herself, and she was in heavy debt at a young age of sixteen.
However, if she leaves, let the cat stay here, how can such a mouse-sized milk cat survive the storm, and if she walks away, it will die, she can't help but stop, maybe she can't raise it, but help it avoid the storm, raise it for ten days and a half months, make it stronger, and then release it in a nearby park, it should have the ability to survive alone.
She squatted down and smelled a foul smell on the cat's body, so disgusting that she almost wanted to vomit, and the scar on the cat's back was shocking, which made her feel a sense of guilt when she felt sorry for the cat and was afraid that she would not be able to raise it, and if she could not raise it and die in her own house. But now that you are already crouching in front of it, the joy in its eyes has already acquiesced in your acceptance, and it seems even more cruel to leave at this time.
She gently picked up the kitten, the cat's body was so thin that it was not much bigger than a slap of hers, and the kitten shivered in her hands, but it was very submissive. Holding such a small life, she suddenly felt a lot of comfort in her heart, and being able to help such a simple little guy made her feel that she had finally done something of value in her life.
At this time, she quickly found the key with one hand and opened the door, entered the narrow and dark staircase, and entered a single room on the second floor, the window of the room was as dark as night because it was not sunny. She fumbled and pressed the light button next to the door, the light turned on, this is a room of less than twelve square meters, except for a bed, there is not even a chair in the room, it is difficult to turn around, there is a small round mirror hanging at the head of the bed, and the corner of the bed is full of bags and clothes. There are also rows of hooks glued to the wall opposite the bed, all of which are hanging bits and pieces or household items. A small space is separated from the opposite corner of the door, which should be a washroom, containing the functions of a toilet and bath.
She walked to the head of the bed, grinning at the round mirror, a lovely face appeared in the mirror, put on just the right makeup, and decorated the immature face with a kind of innocent charm and seduction, but although she made a grimace, her clear and moving eyes revealed a sorrow of inferiority complex and cowardice engraved in her bones.
She found a torn dress, gently dried the cat's body, and then took an instant noodle carton and put it in the corner, and put the kitten inside, which was the cat's new nest. She has a sense of being at home, and she is very proud.
I looked at the cat's thin body, thought about it, and then pulled out a rice cooker out of nowhere, grabbed a handful of rice in a plastic bag hanging on the wall, went into the bathroom to wash it, and then turned on the power. Not long after, the smell of rice came to her nose, and the girl came to the rice cooker and sniffed the aroma of rice in the steam.
She had been in a very congested mood, but it seemed that she had seen a little sunshine today, and cooking a pot of rice could make her so happy, she glanced at the kitten, who looked at the rice cooker with a little nose and eyes without blinking. Yes, she suddenly understood that it was because of the little guy in front of her, what a hard-won meal this pot of rice was for it, and this little humble room was a long-awaited safe haven for it. She gave the kitten a warm and stable life, making her feel that she didn't really seem to be as pitiful and helpless as she imagined, and she still had a lot of strength.
This night, there was a storm, lightning and thunder outside the house, and inside the house, because of each other's company, there was a faint warmth, and they all slept well. After a long time, it finally relaxed, its little belly was warm and full, and it slept peacefully and undisturbed. And she, Jun smiled, her heart no longer only pretended to be sad, but there were some small troubles that made her happy, she no longer felt that she was the only one in this world who was moving forward alone, in addition to darkness and disappointment, her heart also had some small plans and arrangements.
