Extra-Seventy-Four: It's the end and the beginning
The weather slowly became colder, and after the New Year, it slowly warmed up again, and the atmosphere of the Jiao family became more and more tense.
One reason is because of the college entrance examination of Xiaoyuzi, and the other reason is because of the state of black charcoal.
Xiao Yuzi did not choose the escort of Chuhua University, because the number of places was limited, she gave the place to Xie Xin, an old classmate in the West District Compound, Xie Xin's grades were not as stable as her, and Xiao Yuzi's grades have always been very good, 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 quality is not bad, which makes Jiao's father and Jiao's mother feel a lot more relieved.
And the problem of black charcoal, it is still the same as last year, always dreaming, I feel that even if I just squint for a while, I will dream a lot, my thinking is very chaotic, and I don't dare to sleep now, lack of sleep, and my mental state will definitely not be good.
Jiao's mother also took black charcoal to the pet center for a check, and found no major problems, that is, lack of sleep.
Jiao Yuan has had a lot more videos with his home in the past six months, and he has made several calls across the ocean, asking about Xiaoyuzi's situation and Heitan. In addition to beating his family, he also specially beat Su Musha, and he was afraid that Jiao's father and Jiao's mother would report good news to him, especially in the matter of black charcoal.
Although he was holding back his strength to compete with Su Musha in his studies, it did not affect the friendship between them, but because of the Jiao family's affairs, the relationship was better, and he became more and more like a brother from the original buddy.
When Black Tan was at home, he flipped through the desk calendar on Xiao Yuzu's desk, he recalled the time when he became a cat, probably in June, but he couldn't remember the specific time, ten years have passed, who remembers, and when he was a human being, he has always lived a chaotic life, he doesn't remember the date very much, and sometimes he misses the school exam.
Sticking out its claws, the black charcoal made an inconspicuous mark on the dates from June 1st to 15th. A few more paws were added to No. 7 and No. 8, and that was the time of the little grapefruit college entrance examination.
Every weekend, when the little grapefruit comes back, the black charcoal pretends to be in good spirits, but as soon as the little grapefruit leaves, the black charcoal returns to the usual muddy state. Because there has been no one at home during the day, Jiao's father wants Hei Tan to stay in his office, in case there is anything to take care of, but Hei Tan doesn't want to go, he feels comfortable staying at home or in Su Musha's hut.
Jiao's father and Jiao's mother were very worried about the situation of black charcoal, but they were also a little mentally prepared, before the little hamster gray ball was gone, they also had to sleep all day, but that time was not as long as the black charcoal lasts now.
On the morning of June 8th, Jiao's father Jiao's mother and Xiaoyuzi went out, Hei Tan went out with them, Jiao's father sent Xiao Yuzu to the examination room of the college entrance examination, Jiao's mother was going to the attached middle school, Hei Tan sent them out of the compound, and originally wanted to take another turn, but they yawned one after another, their eyelids were very heavy, and finally they decided to go home and sleep.
Running upstairs, Hei Tan was surprised to find that Su Musha was still at home, which is a rare thing for Su Xiaopang, who has been busy like a dog recently, and goes out early and returns late every day.
Hei Tan opened the door of Jiao's house on his own, ready to squint on the sofa for a while. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaopang also followed, took a book in his hand, and sat on the edge of the sofa.
Black Tan glanced at Su Musha, who looked at the book in his hand and didn't raise his head.
"You sleep while I read a book."
Hei Tan felt too sleepy, so sleepy that he didn't even bother to shake off the cat ring, so he didn't bother to care about Su Xiaopang's weird behavior, 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.
The room suddenly became quiet, Su Musha held a book in his hand, didn't turn a page for a long time, and kept staring at the black cat on the sofa.
The wind blew in through the open window, lifting the untied curtains next to it, making a few crackling sounds.
The figure of the black cat on the sofa suddenly shook, as if the signal of an old-fashioned TV series was bad. Su Musha stared nervously, for fear that he was dazzled.
Shake it again, shake it again.
The fourth time, when the figure of the black cat became virtual, it did not reappear like the previous three times, only one cat card, which fell on the sofa.
Su Musha let out a long sigh, Black Tan, no, Zheng sighed, this should be going back.
Did you disappear like this back then?
------------------------------------------
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 her cat to the capital to find a powerful pet doctor 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, and when she walked to the fifth floor, she found that Su Xiaopang's door and her own door were wide open.
The Jiao family's room was a little eerily quiet, Su Musha sat on the edge of the sofa with his head bowed, and there was only one cat tag in the center of the sofa.
Hearing Jiao's mother's footsteps, Su Musha raised his head and moved his gaze from the cat card to Jiao's mother's face.
"Black charcoal is gone."
Hmmm-
The curtain was finally 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.
-------------------------------
On June 13, the family home of Chuhua University.
The atmosphere of the Jiao family has been very dull in the past few days.
The black charcoal disappeared, and when Su Musha handed the cat card to Jiao's mother, he only said: "The black charcoal is gone." Then I kept my mouth shut.
Xiaoyuzi originally felt that she had done well in the test and came back in a good mood, but when she heard the news, she cried all night.
Jiao Yuan was on the other side of the ocean, and it was originally the time to go to class, when he received a text message from Xiaoyuzi, he was anxious to buy a ticket and fly back immediately, but was stopped by Jiao's father.
Not only Jiao Yuan's actions, but even Jiao's mother wanted to ask someone to go out to look for it, but Jiao's father stopped her.
Jiao's father made an excuse that maybe Black Tan didn't want to die in front of everyone, just like the gray ball at the beginning.
But in fact, it was because Su Musha said a word to Jiao's father alone: "Black charcoal will come back." ”
Su Musha didn't comfort Xiaoyuzi much, nor did he participate in Jiao's mother's action of secretly hiding from Jiao's father to ask someone to find black charcoal outside, he just asked Xiao Guo, hoping to help adopt a little black cat.
If you want a Chinese pastoral cat, black, male, up to three months old, it doesn't matter if you want a milk cat.
Xiao Guo also knew the news that the black charcoal was missing, and he thought that Su Musha wanted to find a new cat to replace the black charcoal and make the Jiao family happy, so he also helped inquire where there was such a little black cat that could be adopted.
So, early in the morning of June 12, Su Musha went to Xiao Guo to bring back a little black cat, two months old, which had been weaned.
The little black cat is the baby of the wild cat he met when he was in the gray ball, that is, the younger brother of the little chinchilla, Su Musha didn't expect that the wild cat was not too young to give birth to kittens.
This litter of wild cats gave birth to three kittens, including this pure black one, and it is not surprising to think that the wild cat itself is mainly black and has four hooves to step on the snow.
The cat father and cat mother of the wild cat family, although they are reluctant, but they already have three cats at home, Wildcat, Brother Long and Little Totoro, and they have to give away all the kittens in this litter.
The other two were weaned and taken away, and this one was left because it was black, after all, there are fewer people who like pure black cats. This is cheaper than Su Musha.
After coming back from the pet center with the little black cat, Su Musha did not go home directly, the Jiao family was not at home, Jiao's mother still had to go to work and do the work at the end of the semester, and Xiaoyuzi followed Jiao's father to the Institute of Biological Sciences.
He just held the little black cat and sat on a bench in the courtyard, the two-month-old kitten was lively, although he couldn't run around when he was held in his arms, but he could also play with a button on Su Musha's short-sleeved shirt, and he could even scratch and bite for a lot of time.
There was a red squirrel lying on the branch above the bench where Su Musha was sitting, and the Red Army was not too young, obviously old, lying quietly on Su Musha's shoulder, with his tail hanging low, and he didn't like to stand upright as he did when he was young.
When the winter was over last year, I didn't see the Red Army for a winter, and Su Musha was worried that it wouldn't survive, but fortunately, as the weather warmed up, the frequency of the Red Army gradually increased.
Da Fat saw Su Musha sitting there on the balcony, and after a while, he ran out of the building, jumped on the bench, and sniffed the little black cat in Su Musha's arms, the little black cat gave Da Fat a slap in the face, and Da Fat didn't care, and quietly lay down on the side.
Hearing the movement, the sheriff who was originally catching insects in the grass and Ah Huang, who was originally pouting and scratching the tree, also ran over, jumped on the bench, and squatted on the side in turn.
People passing by suddenly felt that the scene in front of them was very familiar, and over the years, this person and four cats have often dominated the bench like this. Except, now the black cat is suddenly smaller.
The sun is rising higher and higher, and Su Musha doesn't know when the person he is waiting for will arrive, but anyway, he has asked the tutor for leave today, and the tutor also knows that the black cat of the Jiao family is gone, so he agrees very reasonably.
Maybe it was because it was too hot, Old Man Li and Old Man Yan, who came out to walk the dog, took Xiaohua and Niu Zhuangzhuang to sit in the shade of the tree opposite Su Musha and chatted.
"It's different~" Old man Li sighed as he touched Xiaohua's head.
The voice of the doorman uncle came from the gate of the compound: "Hey, who is that, who are you looking for?" ”
Su Musha turned his head to look in the direction of the gate of the compound, a thin and tall young man, wearing sportswear, with short black hair, except that his face was a little pale, not much different from the college students on the campus of Chuhua University.
The young man was answering the doorman's words in a low voice, and Su Musha showed a smile on his face, stood up from the bench with the little black cat in his arms, and walked towards the gate.
"Young man, do you know any clues about his cat? A pure black cat, so big, called black charcoal, have you ever seen it? The doorman uncle was eagerly inquiring to Zheng Si.
"I've seen it before," Zheng sighed for a pause, "a very handsome cat." ”
"Alas!" The light in the doorman's eyes disappeared, and he waved away to signal Zheng Si to go in.
Zheng Si walked a few steps towards the compound, and saw a familiar person standing in front of him, holding a little black cat in his arms.
Under the big tree behind the man, three cats of different colors squatted on a bench, and their heads turned in unison.
On the bench opposite this bench, two old men were chatting, and they didn't even look this way, but the two dogs lying on their feet were also staring at this side, especially Niu Zhuangzhuang, who was rarely as fierce as usual in those small triangular eyes.
Facing him, Ruan Ying led Sahara out, and when he passed by Zheng Si's feet, Sahara took a bite towards Zheng Si's feet with lightning speed, although it was not too heavy, but it was not very light, because there were several tooth marks and a puddle of saliva left on Zheng Si's feet.
Ruan Ying apologized, and after Zheng Si refused his compensation, he reprimanded Sahara and left, and when he left, Sahara also looked back at Zheng Si, with a provocative look in his eyes, and his tail flicked loudly.
After staring at the Sahara and walking away, Zheng Si moved his gaze to the person in front of him again, Su Xiaopang smiled and stroked the head of the little black cat in his arms, and stretched out his right hand to Zheng Si:
"Black Carbon, welcome home!"
