Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 416

[Chapter 402 Regret]

When Er Mao and the others found that Zheng Tan and Da Shan were gone, the sun had already come out.

There is no Dashan-style “alarm clock” today. If it was normal, everyone would have noticed it at the first time. However, in the special situation now, everyone’s attention is focused on Pei Jie’s affairs, analyzing and discussing a few days of the night. Human eyes are full of red blood.

After all, the old master was old and couldn’t stay with them. At three or four in the morning, they were persuaded by Ermao to rest. They haven’t woken up yet, and Ermao and the others didn’t make any big noise. The whole yard was unusually quiet. .

When everyone finally noticed why the quietness was unusual, they realized that the two cats were not in the yard.

With Pei Jie’s disappearance, everyone’s first thought was whether the two cats were also quietly resolved.

But on second thought, no.

Wei Ling and Ermao are very aware of the ability of the black cat. It can’t be solved so easily and silently.

What’s more, Ermao didn’t call the police on his mobile phone, proving that the other party should still be nearby.

Uncle Lin said to call someone to help him find it, but Er Mao stopped him.

“Wait, I’ll take a look first.” Er Mao took out his phone and opened one of the icons, one of the bright spots was very clear.

“It’s nearby?”

A few people felt a little nervous when they heard Er Mao’s words. If they were nearby, they all shouted several times just now. Although they called in a low voice, they were afraid of waking up the old master, but the cat’s hearing was enough. Hear what they say, but it’s the truth.

There was no answer at all.

Ermao took the mobile phone and followed the signal highlights shown above until he saw the cat sign hanging on the tree by Zheng Tan.

“The cat card was picked?” Uncle Lin asked worriedly.

He had a good impression of the black cat, but he was afraid of being murdered.

Ermao took the cat card over and looked at it, then shook his head and said, “No, no one else picked it. No one can take down this cat card except himself.”

The latter sentence Er Mao said very lightly, and people who were a little further away could not hear it clearly. For example, Uncle Lin, he only heard the first sentence.

The last sentence Er Mao said just now was not clear at all.

Otherwise, you will definitely be puzzled, what does it mean “no one can take down that cat card except itself”?

“Senior Brother Pei, I think Black Coal must have found some clues. That’s why it left to find clues. As for Dashan, I guess it was called to help.” Er Mao said.

Er Mao still knows Zheng Tan fairly well. After all, for so many years, the relationship between upstairs and downstairs neighbors is

strange.

Pei nodded.

didn’t say anything.

Regardless of whether what Er Mao said is true or not, there is hope.

It was almost noon when Dashan went back. Ermao and the others went out to search and didn’t find much useful information. When they saw the mountain in the yard, several people’s eyes lit up.

I looked at the front and back of Er Mao’s house, but I didn’t find Zheng Tan.

“Dashan, what about black coal?” Er Mao asked.

“Dashan is back?!” The old master hurried out of the house and called Dashan over.

Dashan listens to the old man the most, and the old man asks questions, and Dashan is more cooperative, so after the old man speaks, Er Mao and the others are silent and listen closely.

After living together for so many years, the old man knows Dashan’s temperament and ability very well, so Dashan is easier to understand if you ask.

“Where’s the black coal?” the old man asked.

Because of Ermao, the elderly are now called “black coal”.

Dashan also knew who the name was referring to. He had heard this name many times when he was learning to play with lighters, and it was a good match.

Dashan glanced in a certain direction in the distance after hearing the words, and Er Mao and the others remembered the meaning of this action.

Dashan has a strong sense of direction. Since Dashan is looking over there, it means that the black cat is somewhere in that direction.

“Where’s Pei Jie?” After speaking, the old man brought one of Pei Jie’s clothes to Dashan to smell, so that Dashan could associate the name “Pei Jie” with the smell. The name is a little deeper.

Sure enough, Dashan seemed a little puzzled when he heard the name “Pei Jie”, but after smelling the smell, he became a little excited. stopped.

The old man brought the mountain in front of him, looked at the mountain, and said almost every word: “I found it?”

Usually the old man and Dashan have played a similar game of finding things, so Dashan can understand this question. of.

When Dashan heard the words, he raised his tail and threw it down hard.

This action represents the “yes” in the “tail flick game”.

“I found it!” Er Mao said happily.

Pei Liang’s eyes were red with excitement, and now he is eager to find it.

When he was at home, Pei Liang gave Pei Jie a stick education almost every three days. This child was too skinny to be honest. As a man, he couldn’t cry and shout what to do, he couldn’t vent his emotions, and his heart was stuck in a panic. He could only smoke one cigarette after another in silence to relieve his emotions.

Now, just hearing such a little news makes Pei Liang feel sour in his eyes. He blinked a few times but failed to suppress the sour feeling, instead it became more and more intense.

The old man sat back, waved his hand, and said to Er Mao and the others, “Go.” He is old, and it is impossible for him to follow Er Mao and the others to find someone.

“Master, here…” Wei Ling looked at the old man.

“Don’t worry, they are here, it’s fine, just be careful yourself.” The old man pointed to the few people who followed. Among them, there were people who came from the provincial capital to assist in the investigation, and there were also a few people in the village who had a good relationship. People are protected here, and there is no need to worry about being taken advantage of and hurting the elderly and children here.

The cooperation of the three brothers is more reliable than others, and the old man is still very confident in his apprentice.

When Dashan took Er Mao and the others to the forest, Zheng Tan had already woken up from a nap.

Although the quality of sleep is not very good.

But after this sleep, my spirit has indeed improved a lot, and my physical strength has also recovered.

He observed that there were six people there, the five people he had seen before, plus the one who took Pei Jie away.

It was lunch time, and the six people over there were gathered in a tent, eating and chatting, probably discussing what to do next.

Those people have accents.

Talk quickly too.

Zheng Tan couldn’t understand it very well. The few words he caught occasionally didn’t even know the meaning when they were strung together. He could only judge by the tone of voice of those people.

One of the six sat at the tent door.

Half of the body is inside the tent.

Half are outside the tent.

While vigilant about the surroundings, also say a few words to other people.

For Zheng Tan, this is an opportunity.

Since these six people are all gathered here.

No one else was there.

Going around to the back, Zheng Tan quietly approached the cloth shed.

The three tents didn’t look like a place for hostages. The most likely place here was the shed where animals were kept. Moreover, Zheng Tan deduced from the subtle words and deeds of those people that Pei Jie should be there. .

Quietly going around behind the tent, Zheng Tan found an unfixed place.

There were only a few fixed points under the awning, and Zheng Tan was able to lift the cloth enclosure a little and drill into the places that were not fixed.

This is the size advantage. If it is a little bigger, if you want to get in, the movement will definitely attract those people.

After listening carefully, Zheng Tan, after confirming that the people were on the side of the tent, carefully lifted up the unfixed cloth that hung down from the tent, and quickly got in.

The inside of the tent was much darker than the outside, but it didn’t really matter to Zheng Tan, he could clearly see the situation inside.

There are five cages that Zheng Tan saw last time, two with monkeys and three with red pandas.

And in a large cage that is closer to the five cages, there is a child sitting in the corner of the cage, obviously Pei Jie.

Pei Jie was sitting in the cage with his legs in his arms, his head resting on his knees, as if he was sleeping.

The mental state of the animals in the five cages was similar to the last time, and it was not good.

Only the one next to Pei Jie’s cage was a little bit more energetic. When Zheng Tan walked over, the little guy saw Zheng Tan, but he didn’t say anything, just stared curiously.

It seems that this animal rarely makes a sound, which is a good thing for the current situation.

The little panda was standing beside the cage, looking at Zheng Tan, while raising his hand to fiddle with the fur around his mouth.

Zheng Tan walked to Pei Jie’s side. The metal mesh of the cage was relatively dense, so he couldn’t squeeze in, so he could only stretch out his paws and gently push Pei Jie.

Pei Jie didn’t sleep deeply, he woke up after being pushed, and looked around in confusion.

It was still a dim environment, and there was also the stench of animal excrement. However, after being forced to smell it for a day, Pei Jie was already a little numb. Besides, there was also his share of the stench, and he had urinated a few times.

No abnormality was noticed, but when Pei Jie was about to continue sleeping, his arm was touched again.

Turning his head, he met his eyes.

Pei Jie almost screamed in shock, but fortunately, the child’s psychological quality was good, so he just held back.

Pei Jie identified it carefully, only to realize that it was a cat who pushed him just now.

No way, the environment here is still too dark for Pei Jie. The place where Zheng Tan is now is even darker. Pei Jie can’t see the objects clearly like Zheng Tan. Besides, Zheng Tan is already dark. If his eyes could still reflect some light, Pei Jie probably wouldn’t have found Zheng Tan so easily.

It’s just that he didn’t think it was Zheng Tan himself, he just thought it was a wild cat in the woods.

The cage was still too small for Pei Jie. Even if he sat in a corner of the cage, it took up nearly a quarter of the cage’s cross-section.

Pei Jie couldn’t stand up straight in the cage, and had to bend over when he got up.

Zheng Tan also thought that Pei Jie probably didn’t see clearly, glanced around, and then walked to the small window left by the side of the tent.

The light that slanted in from outside the window was projected on the uneven ground, and Pei Jie could see it clearly after Zheng Tan got there.

“Black…Black charcoal?!” Although he was very excited, Pei Jie remembered that he was trapped here. He was afraid that the loud voice would provoke those people, so he lowered his voice.

Zheng Tan was very satisfied with Pei Jie’s performance and walked to the cage again.

Pei Jie started to cry when he saw Zheng Tan.

Since Zheng Tan is here, then his father and Uncle Ermao should also be nearby, right?

Pei Jie suddenly felt that the dark childhood had seen light again.

The little boy who claims to be a manly man who bleeds without tears, can’t stop crying now.

“Wuwu, black carbon, I was wrong, I shouldn’t take your things, I shouldn’t try to pick the lock without asking for permission…” Pei Jie lowered his voice to admit his mistake, because the voice was too low, sometimes Only open mouth can be seen, and no sound is made.

However, Zheng Tan could still know what the kid was talking about by the words he said and the shape of Pei Jie’s mouth.

The tone is very sincere, and the matching expression is even more moving, but Zheng Tan always thinks how can Pei Jie say this so smoothly?

Not even a pause.

Pei Jie did say a lot of similar things, but at this moment Pei Jie really regretted it.

If he hadn’t been curious about the box and lifted it out of the yard, wouldn’t he have met the stranger, Uncle Lin wouldn’t have been knocked unconscious, his two younger siblings wouldn’t have been in danger, and he wouldn’t have been caught by bad guys. Carry it like a chicken?

Regret, he really regrets it!
