With a hint of luck, Zhang Zixi went to the carport to look for the stray cat. "Little milk, little milk...... "She was holding half a bag of cat food in her hand, shaking and shaking in the air, and suddenly heard a cry of "meow, meow".

Zhang Zixi followed the sound in surprise, but saw a large three-flowered cat squatting in the carport, staring at her with round eyes.

Zhang Zixi recognized the cat, more than a month ago, it guarded Xiao Tang and Xiao Milk every day, and was the mother of the two kittens. But for some reason, the cat mother hasn't been around this month.

However, the day after the two kittens disappeared, it appeared.

It must have come to Zhang Zixi because it couldn't find its own child nearby, Star Swirl thought to herself.

Facing the cat's mother's searching and longing eyes, Zhang Zixi wrinkled her skirt with her fingers, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you didn't care about them anymore......" Licking the calf deeply, she left half a bag of cat food in her hand to the cat mother, and returned to the dormitory with guilt.

The dormitories on the old campus were rudimentary, and the rooms did not have private bathrooms. Zhang Zixi took the bath supplies and went to the public bathroom for senior girls.

At this time, it was close to the time when the bathroom was closed, and there were few people inside, Zhang Zixi poured the shampoo on her head and rubbed it twice, she was in a terrible mood, so she rinsed off the foam on her head and went back to the locker room.

The moment he opened the locker, his eyes stayed behind the cabinet door, where there seemed to be a not very clear paw print, Zhang Zixi looked closely, the shape similar to plum blossoms, very much like the marks left by the cat's meat pad.

She craned her neck to look inside the locker, where there was nothing but her own clothes.

Did any cat crawl into the locker? Will it be orange or milk? Zhang Zixi returned to his dormitory in a trance.

The room was quiet, and when the lights were turned on, it was empty. may be because the graduating students have gone out for internships, leaving only Zhang Zixi here.

She sat in her chair and thought about her thoughts, and the drops of water from the tips of her hair fell to her shoulders.

"That's right!" Zhang Zixi seemed to think of something, turned on the phone again, and slid his fingers on the screen. She is looking at the circle of friends of the "idle people", this person has obviously not blocked her, and she can see many of the uploaded photos.

Zhang Zixi found that most of them were photos of various cats, including pet cats and stray cats. However, the photos of Little Milk and Little Orange are also among them.

The photos were released half a month ago, could it be that Deng Xian had already planned to arrest them since then? So his appearance that night was not a coincidence, but deliberate?

The more Zhang Zixi thought about it, the more furious he became, although the photos released by Deng Xian were not accompanied by any relevant text, Zhang Zixi had already determined that most of this person had not done anything good.

She turned on the computer and posted a screenshot of the circle of friends of the "idle people" to the blog, hoping to attract the attention of people who know the inside story. It was late at night, the lights were out in the dormitory building, and Zhang Zixi was ready to sleep.

At this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and the gradually clear sound of "tuk, tuk, tuk" stopped in front of Zhang Zixi's dormitory.

After waiting for half a minute, no one knocked on the door, Zhang Zixi asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?" ”

There was no response outside the door, but a slight breathing could be heard. Zhang Zixi froze in place, cold sweat was oozing from his palms, and the dormitory manager downstairs was afraid that he was napping at this time, and he didn't notice that any suspicious person had entered the dormitory building.

There was a narrow gap between the door and the door frame of the dormitory on the old campus, and Zhang Zixi tiptoed to the door to take a look, which made her shocked, and she took two steps back in a panic, holding on to the wall behind her to barely stand firm.

There is a pair of unusual eyes in the crack of the door, the slender eyes continue to expand into a complete circle, there is no white, the whole black pupil stares at Zhang Zixi, the flesh of the cheeks hangs loosely, the hair on the forehead is faded light brown, it looks like an old woman.

When the two of them met their eyes, the old woman suddenly grinned, revealing a few yellow fangs, she was laughing? No, her expression was angry.

"Boom!" I don't know what heavy object was hitting the door panel, Zhang Zixi trembled and lifted the chair against the back of the door. The knock outside the door was accompanied by a low, hoarse, inaudible voice: "Give them back, give them back to me......"

"What do you say? What else? Zhang Zixi asked in a trembling voice, she raised her voice in fright, as if she had alarmed the people in the dormitory next door.

"What time is it, what's the noise?" There was a whining voice next door. The sound of the impact at the door suddenly stopped, Zhang Zixi looked at the crack in the door again with anxiety, and the old woman outside disappeared out of thin air.

She hurriedly opened the door, and there was no figure in the dark hallway, as if she had hallucinated what she had just seen.

The dormitory building was quiet again, but Zhang Zixi sat on a chair at the door, holding a mobile phone in his hand, maintaining the same posture, and stayed like this all night.

The confused morning light outside the window entered the house, Zhang Zixi got up from the chair, pressed his sore and numb legs and feet, and climbed into bed to catch up on sleep.

Memories can also lie, and Star Swirl doesn't really believe that what Zhang Zixi sees at night is reality, and she thinks that it is most likely because of her inner guilt that she has formed a kind of "brain plot".

As for the whereabouts of Tangerine and Milk, Zhang Zixi didn't think of a way to figure it out, but Star Swirl already had a plan, she stopped the "sharing function" and returned to the old campus.

When reading Zhang Zixi's recollections, Star Swirl paid special attention to the name of the pet hospital mentioned by Deng Xian on the phone, and after searching on the Internet, she found that it was in the next district, nearly ten kilometers away from D University.

Before it was dark, Star Swirl got into a taxi to the pet hospital. When she arrives at her destination, the lights in the hospital are still on, and Star Swirl can't help but smile when she remembers what Mr. X took her to see a doctor a while ago.

Walking in and seeing a chubby girl sitting at the front desk looking down on her phone, Star Swirl whispered, "Hello, has anyone sent a stray cat lately?" ”

The girl looked up at her and asked, "Is that the orange cat that was caught from D-big?" ”

Star Swirl nodded, "yes, how's it doing now?" Can I take a look at it? ”

The girl smiled and said, "You are the student who feeds the cats at D University, Lao Deng mentioned it to me." It seems that the girl mistook Star Swirl for Zhang Zixi and led her upstairs.

When I opened a door, it was clean, and several cats of different breeds were locked in the glass lattice. Star Swirl stepped forward and saw Tachibana lying in one of the squares, licking her paws comfortably.

Star Swirl added, "I heard that at the entrance of the hospital, the other one slipped away. ”

"Yes," the girl shrugged regretfully, "Lao Deng also went to the back community to look for a long time, but unfortunately, it is estimated that he will be the life of a stray cat." ”
