Yokogawa Three Migrations, Living Elsewhere (9)
There was always a chaotic start to school, and after the chaos, the school was quickly on the right track. The relocation of the library has also come to an end, the books and periodicals are classified and put on the shelves, and the wooden sign of "Yongxi Book House" is also hung in front of the door of the library.
Gu Hengchuan often came to the library to borrow books, and after meeting Chen Siping and chatting a few words, he gradually became familiar with it. He is keen to read novels, and he also reads prose, but he doesn't read much, and Chen Siping has a very narrow reading range, focusing on books on biology and evolution. When two scholars meet together, there are always a lot of common topics, Gu Hengchuan feels that his taste is very unique, and when he asks by chance, Chen Siping smiled and did not answer, a little lonely.
He is a man with a heart and a story.
The days passed, autumn went to winter, step by step, and one day on the way home, Gu Hengchuan heard a slight cat meow. He made the gods stop, crouched down and looked, and a small head poked out of the bushes of the flower bed, gray-headed, shaking, unable to stand steadily, squinting at him and calling out again.
Gu Hengchuan tentatively stretched out his hand, and the kitten struggled to climb forward without knowing where he got the strength, and put his little head in his palm.
A kitten abandoned by a female cat, desperate to ask for help, this is the survival instinct. It was so cold that it couldn't survive the long night. Gu Hengchuan tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, and picked up the kitten, which was light and small, and was dying.
He took out the sleeve from his pocket and wrapped the kitten, revealing only its head, like a baby's candle bag.
Gu Hengchuan took the kitten home, found a basket as a nest, padd some old clothes, and turned on the hot air conditioner. The kitten seemed to be a little more comfortable, lying motionless on its stomach, its belly lying together. It's a variegated cat, not black and white, and it's dirty and dusty.
During the Chinese New Year, Director Zou gave him a basket of preserved goods, including preserved pig face, bacon, preserved duck, sausage, and cured hoof, which were eaten in the hot pot one after another. There was a basket left, leaving a faint cured meat, and I was reluctant to throw it away, which just came in handy.
Gu Hengchuan washed the sleeves and dried them, thought about it, went out to the supermarket again, bought milk, dishes, cat litter, and bedpans, went home and warmed the milk with hot water, poured it into the plate, and took the kitten out.
The kitten couldn't open its eyes, licked the milk greedily, and stretched out its little head after drinking it and was still looking for it. Gu Hengchuan put it back in the basket, covered it with his old clothes, and soon fell asleep.
He has no experience with cats, but knows not to feed too much and not to rush to bathe.
At night he lies in the tent, and the kitten sleeps outside the tent, and before he falls asleep he thinks about giving the cat a name, which is more interesting. When he woke up the next day, he poured a dish of warm milk for the kitten to drink, and looked at it for a long time, not a black cat, not a white cat, in between.
In case it is not large, bury it in the place where it is found, and insert a wooden sign that reads "Schrödinger's Tomb", Lishu.
After Gu Hengchuan fed the cat, let it pee in the potty, put it back in the basket to sleep, and got up to go to work.
After finishing the work at hand, he searched the Internet and said that the kitten could not drink milk, and should be fed goat milk powder and mixed with warm water, because the milk lactose content is high, and the kitten is lactose intolerant and prone to diarrhea.
Gu Hengchuan scratched his head, this is a troublesome matter.
Xiao Zhang poked his head over and looked at it a few times, and asked curiously, "Do you have a cat?" ”
Gu Hengchuan said: "I picked up a kitten on the road and fed two meals of milk, but it seems that I can't feed milk......"
Xiao Zhang's family is a cat and has experience, she said: "It is generally not recommended to feed milk, goat milk powder is better." If you are fed milk, drink more water, observe first, and then change, wild cats are not as picky as pet cats. Got a name? ”
Gu Hengchuan said: "Take it, it's called Schrödinger." ”
Xiao Zhang looked dazed and didn't know how to answer. Who would give a cat such a name?
Gu Hengchuan was a little restless that day, and hurriedly ate lunch at noon and rushed home to see the cat. The kitten woke up, heard the movement and struggled to climb out of the basket, and was in good spirits. Gu Hengchuan muttered, "Wild cats are not as picky as pet cats, ha!" He poured a dish of warm milk to feed the cat, and when it was finished, he added some warm water, and the kitten had a good appetite, and was not picky at all, and licked it cleanly.
Gu Hengchuan put his mind at ease, locked the door and went back to work.
Schrödinger is very leather, what to feed and eat, milk gradually can not satisfy its appetite, Gu Hengchuan bought cat food, soaked it soft and fed it, and ate it with a bulging belly. He estimated that he had fed it, gave it a bath, dried it with a hair dryer, and looked like a little gray cat at first glance, looking carefully at the black lines on a white background, especially on the forehead, like a "Sichuan" word.
Gu Hengchuan sighed, this is fate!
Schrödinger became more and more lively day by day, and his eyes were also open, his left eye was green, and his right eye was blue, which was very rare. Xiao Zhang listened to Gu Hengchuan talk about it, and urged him to bring it and take a look.
Petting the cat during working hours is not good for people to see, Gu Hengchuan took the kitten to school on the weekend and let it run on the grass and spread joy. The sun was shining that day, and the grass was warm, and he sat cross-legged by the flag-raising platform, watching Schrödinger's every move, with a faint smile on his lips.
Xiao Zhang also brought her British short blue cat over, chubby, with a face like a plate, called Waterloo. At the first sight of Schrödinger, she screamed, left Waterloo behind, teased it, fed it with cat strips, and loved it so much.
Gu Hengchuan looked at Waterloo, Waterloo looked at Gu Hengchuan, both expressionless, and each turned his head.
Xiao Zhang's enthusiasm made Schrödinger very uncomfortable, he jumped in the grass and fled to Gu Hengchuan's side, his eyes like two jewels.
"It's beautiful! I don't see any breed, not like purebred cats...... Did you really pick it up? ”
Gu Hengchuan scratched Schrödinger's chin, "I picked it up, I didn't expect it to look so good." Is this called 'heterogeneous pupils'? ”
Xiao Zhang said: "Different pupils, also called mandarin duck eyes, are mostly white cats, and gray ones are rare. It is said that heteropupil cats are genetically defective and most are born deaf. ”
Gu Hengchuan said: "Schrödinger is not deaf and is very good to feed. Hearing him speak, Schrödinger turned his head to look at him, jumped his lap, and basked comfortably on his stomach in the sun.
Xiao Zhang sighed, picked up Waterloo, looked at Schrödinger, and couldn't hide his envy. She cautiously asked, "Well, can you give it to me?" ”
Gu Hengchuan didn't reply and said, "No." ”
Xiao Zhang was choked up, and she finally confirmed that Gu Hengchuan didn't have the slightest idea about herself. Waterloo screamed in her arms, Xiao Zhang lowered his head and fed it with a cat strip, and couldn't help but go to see Schrödinger again, following Gu Hengchuan, it must not eat well and sleep well, it's really pitiful!
Director Zou happened to go to the school to do some errands, and saw Gu Hengchuan and Xiao Zhang sitting on the grass from a distance, as well as two cats. He didn't bother them. He sincerely hoped that Gu Hengchuan could settle down in this city.
