Text: Daran's cat
Sanhua was the last stray cat taken in by Daran. This sentence seems to be a little wrong, maybe one day another hungry and skinny stray cat will break in and take Daran's attention away from Sanhua's body.
Sanhua doesn't seem to care about that.
Sanhua was skinny when she first arrived. They walked with a swing and leaned crookedly against the wall. It walked through the impassable ruins (the ruins of the houses in the village to be built after the demolition of the houses), and found the only house left at the edge of the village, and it used its last strength to go to the door, and saw many cats sitting or standing there, and when they saw Sanhua, they all called together, meow and meow, and then they appeared, and carried it into the house, and fed it milk. Give it a bath. Take good care of it.
Now it can finally curl its hairy and soft body in the sofa of the new owner's house, or under the flowers and plants in the yard, as before. It is a smart cat that easily does not go near its owner, and it knows that no one will like it except the little one. Besides, so many stray cats are staring at the pet. Sanhua knew in her heart that at least it was the last one to arrive, so Da Ran shouldn't have forgotten about it so quickly.
Speaking of the past, Sanhua was a much-loved cat.
It was a four-room courtyard full of flowers and plants, and the owner kept the house clean and orderly all year round. In spring and autumn, Sanhua likes to play among the flowers and plants in the yard, and in order to prevent it from scratching the flowers and plants, the owner also planted a pot of mint for it. Sanhua likes the taste of mint. It was a drunken feeling.
But in the summer, the heat forced it to hide in the house, so it slept all day on the soft and comfortable sofa in the master's living room, blowing the air conditioner. In the corner of the living room, there is a small cupboard dedicated to it, which contains its own cat food, its own comb, its own hair dryer, and small clothes for it on holidays or when taking it out. These clothes were bought for it by the little owner Xiangxue grinding her mother. And Xiangxue also gave it a nice name called Sisi. Of course, it wasn't called Sanhua before. It's a rustic name.
Sanhua's favorite place in winter is grandma's hot kang, and the north wind is blowing outside, so Sanhua huddles on the kang and grandma with bad legs and feet to fight for turf. Grandma said that with Sisi, she would not be lonely in winter.
But as soon as the last Spring Festival passed, the whole family suddenly began to talk about some strange problems, and after dinner, they all gathered in Grandma's house, and Sanhua curled up on the kang and pinned her head into a pile of fluffy hair on her stomach. Showing her ears and listening intermittently, Grandma said, "Do you really want to tear it down?" Dad said, "Really!" The sound was so loud that Sanhua shook her ears a few times. "Alas!" Mom sighed. "But I like to live in a building." It's the little master Xiangxue. Sanhua couldn't help but look up, opened her mouth wide by the way, and yawned big. He buried his head in his body again. Grandma timidly asked, "Won't you move?" Mom's voice suddenly raised: "Don't you move our past?" You have to be what people call you! So there was silence.
Later, they often said these words over and over again, until the fifteenth day of the first month was over.
As soon as the day warmed up, Sanhua remembered its catnip, and she couldn't wait to get out of the house where she had been confined for a winter. Strangely, the flowers and plants of previous years have disappeared, and the yard is empty, and there is not a single pot of flowers. Sanhua was a little interested, and it stretched out its front paws, pouting its ass and stretching a big lazy waist. Then he walked to the ladder in the corner of the wall, and sharpened his claws that had been idle for a winter. As soon as it climbed up the ladder and followed the ladder up the wall, it squinted its eyes and nose to sniff in the air, and then leaped up to the main room. Sanhua cautiously climbed up to the roof, the rubble under her feet making a slight noise. It felt like it was walking in the blue sky, and the sun was like a rain of gentle swords shining through the fluffy fur on its skin. Walk to the middle and lie down, feet facing the sky. The sword rain of the sun made it itch all over its body, and finally it couldn't help it, so it cocked its head from the neck down to the belly and then to the hind legs. Suddenly stopped. It saw neat rows of houses and streets, in the bosom of the blue sky. It is carefully cleaned by every ray of sunlight, washed so new, so bright. They were so quiet, quiet like a picture.
This scene caused Sanhua to stop there motionless for dozens of seconds. Suddenly, a snow-white shadow flashed on the red roof, and Sanhua's body trembled, and it recognized it as a cat, a snow-white cat without a single impurity. Its beauty attracted Sanhua, who did not hesitate to stand up and chase after the cat where it had fallen.
Sanhua is in love, but this is a love with heavy losses.
The white she-cat didn't like him at all. It was a noble purebred Persian cat with stunning blue eyes. The long eyelashes called Sanhua have a feeling of licking. But the Persian cat blew up its fur, raised its tail high, bared its teeth and hissed in warning, angrily watching Sanhua retreat step by step, suddenly turned around and fled like lightning, Sanhua licked her nose in frustration, whined in pain, and turned to leave. Suddenly, it saw another cat sneaking up on the Persian cat to get closer to the place where the Persian cat had left.
Sanhua stopped and quietly followed, wanting to see what the cat wanted to do. It was a sturdy tabby cat, with beautiful black and gray stripes that made Sanhua a little jealous. It couldn't help but look down at the patch-like fur color on its body, which was black, yellow, and white, and felt inferior. stopped, but the beautiful figure suddenly appeared in front of him again, and Sanhua was shocked as if she was restrained, lowered her body and continued to follow.
In this way, the three cats walked and stopped, one moment went to the house, and the other time landed. One moment into the alley, the other time to run under someone's farm car, you chase me and can't stop. Later, the Persian cat seemed to be too tired, so he ran to a house outside the village, and the tabby cat followed in, and when Sanhua arrived, he saw the Persian cat coquettishly slapping the tabby cat over and over again with one of its front paws. The tabby cat squatted in front of the Persian cat, squinting and enjoying it.
Sanhua didn't dare to go in, it knew what it meant to disturb the tryst of the two cats. It was originally meant to be a hero to save beauty. didn't think they were a pair of cats. Sanhua walked around the house unwillingly, covered in grass needles and cang's ears. The shiny fur suddenly became unkempt.
It wasn't until it got dark that Sanhua felt hungry. It just remembered to go home. Sanhua wails sadly all the way, and the whole village knows that she has fallen out of love. The house let out a slight sigh for it that no one could detect.
Sanhua got lost, and since his attention was only on the two cats, he didn't pay attention to the road.
When it got home, it was the middle of the night. Quietly, Sanhua walked through the alley, planning to go up the wall from the stack of firewood that the master had piled up outside the wall, and then down the ladder, but this plan was not needed. The door of the master's house was actually open. Sanhua's wounded heart suddenly received some comfort.
The host is still waiting for it.
But as soon as Sanhua entered the courtyard, he felt that something was wrong, the door of the house was actually open, Sanhua jumped into the house with an arrow, it was stunned, and the scene in front of it hit it a thousand times more than the broken love. 10,000 times. The house was empty, there was nothing left. The floor, which used to be so smooth that even mosquitoes couldn't stand, was littered with debris. The owner, the sofa, the small cupboard, the cat food. Even grandma's kang is only a clay platform. There was nothing left here but a lingering familiar smell. Sanhua forgot that the four rooms were running around like she was crazy from hunger, calling incessantly. In the end, I was so tired that I fell asleep in a pile of torn clothes.
Sanhua didn't know that they moved today, and she didn't know that Xiangxue was waiting for Sanhua after school, and she didn't cry and leave with her mother until very late.
At dawn, Sanhua was awakened by a loud rumbling noise. It ran out of the house in a panic, it had never been so scared, not even the New Year. It grabbed the corner of the wall, climbed up to the top of the wall with great difficulty, found a hiding place, and cautiously poked out half of its face to look at the place where the noise had come from. A huge iron hand was raised in the air, giggling and screaming happily towards a house, boom! One wall collapsed. Sanhua was so frightened that her hair exploded. He turned around and tried to jump off the wall, but he fell to the ground. Fortunately, it is a cat that is used to walking on the wall. Sanhua wasn't hurt, it was just a little confused. It felt like it was all going too fast, like a dream. In one day, it went from a pet cat to a stray cat.
Sanhua had to wander the streets, often fighting with other stray cats for scraps from the garbage dump in order to fill her belly.
It rained for two days in a row, and in the evening, as soon as the rain stopped, Sanhua couldn't wait to get out of a pile of broken haystacks, and ran to the place where there were people in the village. It then realized that the place it had managed to find was occupied again, and three hungry cats were fighting for a fish bone. Whining warning at it. Sanhua looked at it unwillingly, and finally walked away, and the hero didn't eat the loss in front of him.
Sanhua avoided people and walked to another street.
To Sanhua's great disappointment, the residents of this street have moved away, and the whole street is as silent as death. A house with porcelain tiles pasted on the façade glows beautifully and lonely1 red in the afterglow of the setting sun. Sanhua stepped on the wet ground, feeling very sad. Suddenly, it smelled the smell of meat, meow, Sanhua stumbled towards the smell of meat, and at the gate of a house that had been demolished, there was a small bowl of noodles and a few pieces of cooked meat. Sanhua didn't bother to see if there was any danger, and rushed forward to eat it in a big gulp. It had been hungry for two days and two nights.
After that, Sanhua came here every day to look for food. It can be found almost every time. It turned out that this was a family that had not moved away, and it was a pity to throw away the leftovers, so they secretly poured it here, so that some cats and dogs could come over to eat.
On this day, Sanhua was eating a salted fish in a big gulp, and suddenly saw a small dog running towards this side, Sanhua quickly picked up the fish and hid in the doorway, and looked secretly.
The puppy ran up to it and stopped, it was a stray dog, Sanhua could tell from the dirty and thin appearance and the pitiful eyes. The puppy didn't immediately touch the contents of the small bowl, it squatted down and looked into the doorway, and it clearly saw Sanhua.
Sanhua didn't have to hide anymore, it rushed out with the salted fish in its mouth, protected the small bowl, and roared with bared teeth to demonstrate to the puppy. Sanhua decides to defend her small bowl to the death. The puppy still didn't move, and a small scream came out of its throat. After a minute of stalemate, the puppy finally barked sadly and turned and walked away. Sanhua looked at this thin back, and suddenly felt pity in her heart, even Sanhua herself would not understand herself, it actually stopped the puppy.
Sanhua gets to know Pippi, who shares her small bowl with Pippi. Then they look for food and shelter together. Later, they found a broken grass house in the south of the village, and they had a home.
During the day they sleep in dilapidated houses, hungry and come out hungry to find something to eat. In the evenings, they go out together to find food and play together. They have walked almost the entire village. I saw the good bungalows being demolished, many steel machines being brought in, and tall and imposing cranes everywhere. High-rise buildings have been erected on some flat land, and some houses are being demolished. Others are moving one after another. Sanhua was also surprised to find that some people who wanted to vacate their houses were also homeless, so they set up temporary buildings at the edge of the village. There are containers, and there are drywall. Although Sanhua couldn't tell what was right, it suddenly thought to its owner, would they live nearby?
Sanhua decided to find the owner.
Night fell, it was a clear night, the moon was round in the sky, and the stars pulled the night sky even higher. Sanhua, if I remember correctly, this should be the autumn moon. For several days, Sanhua circled around the village, with Pipsqueak following him, apparently guessing what Sanhua meant, but not objecting or agreeing. Many families have dogs because they live outside the village. When he sees the dog, Pippi is sad for a while, and he thinks of his master. But Pipsqueak didn't have the courage to return to his master. After so many days, the owner would definitely look for it if he wanted it, because it didn't leave the village at all.
Sanhua avoided the dogs that bullied them, and the more they went up to the roof of the temporary building, they heard the talk of people intermittently and realized that the entire village had to be demolished and rebuilt, which was called joint construction. A rich man called the developer demolished people's bungalows to build buildings, and told people to exchange their bungalows for buildings.
Late at night, people fall asleep, and in the dream they move into their new homes, clean and tidy buildings.
After a few days, there was no harvest, and only three families were missing, so Sanhua mustered up the courage to walk towards the three families.
This is a temporary construction made of three containers, fortunately there are no dogs, Pippi and Sanhua look at one by one, when they go to the second house, Pippi suddenly stops, it makes a whining cry in its throat, and tears fall down. It stood there for a long time, then turned and ran away. Sanhua didn't know what was going on and followed it closely. It struggled to catch up and get in front of Pipsqueak, and Sanhua saw the tears in Pippi's eyes, understood, and slapped Pipsqueak angrily, who just lowered his head.
It was already late at night, and Sanhua and Pipsqueak were back there. Sanhua watched from a distance, and Pipsqueak slammed the door with his front paws, pleading. After a long time the door opened, and Pippi's owner appeared at the door, he bent down to look at Pipsqueak, and suddenly shouted excitedly, "Ahhh It's our Pippi! Then he looked into the distance, and by the moonlight, he saw Sanhua, "Where is the wild cat!" Sanhua wasn't scared, she was still happy for Pippi. Seeing that Sanhua was not scared away, the man bent down and picked up a brick under his feet and threw it at Sanhua, who woke up like a dream and ran away in a panic.
As the weather grew colder, some of the buildings had been preliminarily completed, and a row of rough gray walls had risen on the empty ruins, making them look more and more desolate and lonely. Sanhua hadn't eaten for several days, it leaned against the wall, slowly walking down the remaining streets, there were still dozens of families here who had not moved away, but because the weather was cold, people no longer threw away leftovers, and there was less and less food to find. Suddenly, a small head came out from under the corn hoard, and when it looked out sneakily, it probably didn't see Sanhua, so it crawled out, and Sanhua saw it at a glance, a mouse! Sanhua's heart was beating wildly, it had never caught a mouse, and it turned a blind eye when it saw a mouse when it was at the owner's house. Delicious cat food calls it not interested in any food.
Today, the hungry Sanhua can't wait to eat everything she can eat. Sanhua ducked forward, arched her back, and quickly pounced on the opportunity. Rats may not have thought of predators at all, because the cats here have stopped catching mice for a long time, and they even seem peaceful. But today, Sanhua was forced out of her nature by hunger. The nature of cats.
Sanhua took three bites and two bites, and there was no belt bone left, and he ate a little mouse.
This winter, Sanhua has a meal.
Because corn has it, so rats have it. Sanhua gradually grew stronger. Sometimes when people go out or go home at night, they occasionally see a black image of a sword passing in front of them, or two small green lights floating in the air. That's Sanhua. It has taken on the responsibility of protecting the corn in this area.
It wasn't until spring came when people threshed corn that some people woke up like a dream, it turned out that there had been a wild cat in this area, no wonder our corn was not spoiled this year!
The earth began to warm again, and the rats migrated because there was no corn to eat. Sanhua began to fall into hunger again. It wandered the streets and saw people move again, and the streets became fewer and fewer, until finally there was a large area of ruin. Sanhua finds Daran's home at the end of the ruins. became a big cat.
Sanhua was grateful, so she never went around her, chasing her for food and drink.
Gradually, some of the cats began to be adopted and happily followed their former owners. Some cats were kept in their arms. Sanhua didn't hope for anything anymore. It can't change its habit of going out at night, and likes to walk in the fields or ruins, picking up some trash to eat. It watched the buildings grow day by day, and began to have a little inexplicable worry. In fact, Sanhua's worries are not unfounded, and it has begun to hear that kind of discussion again, which is the Daran family.
"Can't you move it? What a decent house we have! ”
"Everyone lives in the building, we can't resist!"
"I love the building!" Sanhua raised her head from her false sleep and looked at Da Ran in a daze, this sentence Xiangxue had also said.
Sanhua disappeared, and on the day Daran's family moved, no one noticed this. Da Ran only knew that there was a cat missing.
