Chapter 3: Cats
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Lu Mingyu had already fallen asleep.
Lu Zhan ate a bowl of fish fillet porridge and never vomited, which made Lu Mingyu very happy. Before going to bed, I was still saying that I would buy a small crucian carp early tomorrow morning to make soup and make porridge with fish soup.
Lu Zhan didn't want Lu Mingyu to be so tired, but Lu Mingyu didn't care. She runs a restaurant, and it is easy to buy fish and soup.
Lu Zhan walked out of the bedroom and went to the rooftop.
There is a moon tonight, and Lu Zhan plans to cultivate under the moon, maybe the effect will be better.
Lu Zhan put the mat on the ground, then sat cross-legged on it, pinching his handprints in his hands, ready to settle down.
"Lu Zhan, are you cultivating immortals? haha......"
Zhang Xiao, the youngest daughter of the old Zhang family next door, pushed open the window and teased Lu Zhan with a smile.
Recently, Xianxia dramas have become popular on TV, and Zhang Xiao chases dramas every day. Looking at Lu Zhan's appearance, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Lu Zhan looked up at the next building, and Zhang Xiao waved at him.
"Lu Zhan, what are you doing on the rooftop so late?"
Lu Zhan said casually: "It's hot in the house, come out and blow the wind." β
Zhang Xiao asked curiously, "Didn't you turn on the air conditioner?"
Lu Zhan said expressionlessly: "Turn on the air conditioner and pay for electricity." β
"Yes. It's hard for your family to rely on that small restaurant. Lu Zhan, why don't you persuade your mother to build two more floors of the house and rent it out. The monthly rent is also quite a lot. β
Lao Zhang's family except for Lao Zhang, who works as a security guard in the village, the family does not go to work, and lives on rent every month, and they live quite well.
As for the Lu family, the Lu family is in a special situation.
Lu Zhan has had no father since he was a child, Lu Mingyu returned to his hometown with his children and the savings he had saved from working for many years, found land in the village, and repaired this two-story building.
It was all more than a decade ago.
At that time, Xiahe Village was still a rural village on the outskirts of the city, and the way out was limited. Later, the city developed faster and faster, and Xiahe Village was encircled within the Third Ring Road and became an urban village.
In addition, Shanghe Village was demolished a few years ago and was rebuilt into CBD, with a variety of high-end atmosphere. Although Xiahe Village has not been demolished, it has been stained with the light of CBD, and the rent is rising gradually. Many people who work in nearby office buildings choose to rent and live in Xiahe Village, which is close to the company and convenient to live. The rent is a little more expensive than elsewhere and can be affordable.
The vast majority of the hundreds of villagers in Xiahe Village live on rent. The only exception is the Lu family.
At that time, Lu Mingyu didn't have much money in his hands, and he could only afford to build a two-story small building.
Later, Lu Mingyu used his own faΓ§ade to open a restaurant and earn a little money, and originally planned to wait for Lu Zhan to go to college and build two more floors on the roof. In this way, the family can also rely on the rent to eat.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Lu Zhan fell ill before he could rush to the university. The plan to repair the house can only be put on hold.
Moreover, in the past two years, the city management has become more and more strict, and the private construction has been strictly stopped, and even if the Lu family has money, they dare not repair the house at this time.
Lu Zhan avoided answering Zhang Xiao's question, and said indifferently: "It's too late, you go to bed early." I'm going to sleep too. β
Zhang Xiao said: "I'm still very early. I couldn't sleep at two or three o'clock. β
Lu Zhan frowned slightly.
It seems that he can't stay on the rooftop to cultivate tonight.
Lu Zhan got up decisively and went downstairs with a mat.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiao felt that landing Lu Zhan was not interesting at all, so he no longer paid attention to Lu Zhan.
The Lu family has a small backyard of less than ten square meters, just behind the kitchen.
Originally, the house was going to be built, but the village wouldn't let it. Said more than the area.
Later, when the house was built, Lu Mingyu simply enclosed the vacant land as his yard.
As long as the house is not repaired, the village will turn a blind eye and acquiesce to the existence of this courtyard.
Lu Zhan sat in the courtyard, cultivating cross-legged.
There is a fence blocking the sight of each family, and Lu Zhan doesn't have to worry about someone coming to disturb him again.
With his first experience, Lu Zhan quickly settled down.
The moonlight reflected on Lu Zhan's body, exuding a soft light.
A stray little flower cat jumped on the wall of the Lu family and stared curiously at Lu Zhan below.
The little flower cat observed for a while, and then boldly jumped off the wall.
The little flower cat stepped on small broken steps, like an elegant lady, and tried a few times to make sure that Lu Zhan was not a threat, so she found a safe place, squatted down, and bathed in the moonlight with Lu Zhan.
Outside the courtyard walls, stray dogs were barking miserably, apparently violently beaten.
Another black cat jumped on the wall of Lu's house.
The black cat's eyes were green, like a ruthless killer, staring at the beaten stray dog.
Black cats have known stray dogs for a long time. At that time, stray dogs still had owners, and they were led out by their owners every night for a walk, scattering wild, and happily like a silly dog. It's a pity that the good days didn't last long, and the stupid dog was abandoned by his owner.
The stupid dog has become a stray dog, still stupid, can't even find food, and is chased and beaten every day, which is really hopelessly stupid.
The black cat swept its tail left and right, staring condescendingly at the little flower cat in the yard.
Little Flower Cat is also an abandoned stupid cat, and even dares to approach humans. The black cat is very disgusted.
The black cat looked at Lu Zhan again.
Isn't this young man what people call a short-lived ghost?
How could a short-lived ghost have time to sit here.
The black cat tilted its head and looked at Lu Zhan curiously.
The black cat suddenly jumped off the wall, startling the little flower cat who was as quiet as a chicken.
The black cat glanced at the little flower cat with disdain, and approached Lu Zhan like a king.
Hey, it's so comfortable around short-lived ghosts.
The black cat took a few steps back and stared at Lu Zhan vigilantly. Could this be a conspiracy of short-lived ghosts?
After a while, seeing that Lu Zhan did not react, the black cat quietly approached Lu Zhan again. Sure enough, as soon as he got close to Lu Zhan, he felt very comfortable. The wounds on his body seemed to be painful.
The black cat hesitated, and simply squatted down beside Lu Zhan. Once Lu Zhan had a stir, he immediately ran away. I believe that with its speed, it will be able to escape smoothly.
The black cat squatted, serious at first, but after a while it became lazy. Flicking his tail, like a noble lord.
The little flower cat observed for a while, and came over tentatively, it also wanted to follow the black cat, lying next to Lu Zhan.
The black cat quietly glanced at the little cat, and the little cat quickly changed direction and stayed away from the black cat.
The black cat rolled over, revealing its soft belly. It's so comfortable. This is the first time since being a stray cat that I feel comfortable.
In return, the cat master decided not to call Lu Zhan a short-lived ghost in the future.
After the moon passed in the middle of the sky, Lu Zhan slowly opened his eyes with a warm smile on his face.
As soon as Lu Zhan moved, the black cat reacted instantly, jumped far away, and stared at Lu Zhan vigilantly.
The little flower cat reacted a beat slower and stood in place in a daze. When the black cat barked, the little flower cat knew that he had run away.
Lu Zhan smiled slightly, his whole body was clear and comfortable. The black cat arched up, and the little flower cat barked weakly, meowing......
The little cat's cry is soft and soft, and there is no deterrent.
The black cat slapped the little flower cat away, adding to the chaos.
Lu Zhan looked at this scene amusedly, and then got up from the ground.
The two cats had already retreated to the corner, and if it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhan was not a threat to them, the two cats would have fled long ago.
Lu Zhan turned around and returned to the kitchen, scooped a bowl of leftover rice, added bone broth, stirred, put it in two stainless steel rice bowls, and then brought it out and put it in the yard.
Lu Zhan beckoned to the two cats, "I'll give you food, I'm going upstairs to sleep." β
The two cats stared at Lu Zhan vigilantly, not approaching, but also not running away.
Lu Zhan smiled, turned back to the kitchen, closed the door, and went up to the second floor to get ready for sleep.
