Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 417
[Chapter 403 0 Treasure Chest Pen]
After Pei Jie finished repenting, he cried and cried, now there is hope in his heart, and he is not so afraid.
Raising his sleeves and wiping his face, Pei Jie began to ask: “Haitan, do you have a bug on your body? Is there a liaison or something?”
This is obviously a child who has watched a lot of TV, and his imagination follows the TV.
When he was at home, he was accustomed to talking to the monkey Qi Da, but now seeing Zheng Tan, Pei Jie is still habitually speaking directly.
Anyone who has raised animals knows that many animals are not as stupid as people think. After being in contact with people for a long time, they can still understand some words.
In Pei Jie’s heart, he always felt that there were many animals who could understand human words, such as his family’s Qi Da, and the black cat in front of him.
As Pei Jie was speaking, Zheng Tan’s ears moved, and he left the spot and quickly ran to a wooden box in the corner to hide.
Seeing this, Pei Jie stopped talking, he knew that someone must have come from outside.
After thinking about it in his mind, he looked at the little panda in the cage next to him who was scratching his face, and reached out to pat it.
The curtain of the shed was suddenly lifted. If it wasn’t for Zheng Tan hearing the slight movement, Pei Jie’s hearing would not have been able to hear anyone coming, so the behavior of the visitor could be considered abrupt.
The visitor opened the curtain and took a look inside the shed. The place was not big. With the light coming in from the outside of the raised curtain, he could see the situation inside the shed at a glance. There was nothing to hide here. The place, so, someone came over to take a look, his eyes stayed on Pei Jie for a few seconds, he found nothing unusual, and his sense of vigilance dropped a lot.
He heard some movement here.
Come and take a look, I didn’t expect that the child was teasing the red panda.
Children, it’s surprising that they didn’t cry or make trouble in this place, but if they were too obedient and cooperative, they would still be suspicious and remain vigilant.
Now, Pei Jie seemed to pat the cage next to him a little irritably, probably losing his temper.
Pei Jie’s behavior was originally intended to divert the attention of those who came, so that they would not notice Zheng Tan.
He couldn’t think of it.
Your own behavior will reduce the vigilance of those who come.
The visitor looked at Pei Jie a few times, said “be quiet”, and then put down the curtain and left.
This time, he didn’t take his steps lightly, Pei Jie could hear the footsteps of the man leaving.
Pei Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and Zheng Tan also breathed a sigh of relief.
The only one who was frightened was the little panda that was locked in the cage next to Pei Jie.
Pei Jie’s action just now made the little panda, who was scratching its face, jump back in fright.
Planted backwards.
Now he is staring at Pei Jie’s side, and
his claws are no longer scratching.
Zheng Tan wondered if the little panda was frightened, and felt even more stunned.
Wait until the person leaves.
Zheng Tan came out from behind the box in the corner.
Pei Jie’s understanding of these people is limited, and he doesn’t even know how many people there are in total, and he hasn’t learned much yet before Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan appeared here. One was to see Pei Jie’s situation and state of mind to determine whether the child was safe; the second was to give Pei Jie some hope and motivation to persevere.
After all, it is only a child, and even if the psychological endurance is strong, there is a degree.
Now that Pei Jie is in a better mood, Zheng Tan doesn’t plan to stay here forever, he still wants to go out to check the situation.
“By the way, Hei Tan, I’m sorry, when that person brought me, he also took your suitcase.” Pei Jie said before Zheng Tan left.
box?
Zheng Tan took a step.
The only box that Pei Jie took was the treasure box that Hou Junyi gave to Zheng Tan.
Why did the person who took Pei Jie take Zheng Tan’s box?
Is it just a matter of convenience?
Zheng Tan didn’t know.
After learning about Pei Jie yesterday, no one paid any more attention to Zheng Tan’s box.
Ermao and the others didn’t think about what was in the box. They only mentioned one thing when discussing the matter, but they couldn’t find the box. Compared with Pei Jie’s case, the box was just a trivial matter, and their attention was later diverted. Well, I didn’t pay too much attention to the box that I hadn’t found.
Now it seemed that the box was brought over by the person who had taken Pei Jie away.
Quietly leaving the tent, Zheng Tan listened to the movement on the other side of the tent.
The six people were still there, and it was estimated that they were discussing something, and the atmosphere was not very good. One of them was more grumpy and roared, as if he had encountered something angry.
The person who went to the tent just now was to make Pei Jie understand more clearly, so he didn’t speak in a strong dialect tone, but now the six people gathered together, all spoke in a dialect tone. Two of them spoke a little better, but as soon as they spoke faster, Zheng Tan still couldn’t hear what they were saying.
Zheng Tan walked around behind the tent while they were discussing matters.
There are three tents, six people are in one of the tents, and Zheng Tan will definitely not be able to enter the tent of some people, but the other two can be seen.
There were only two tents when I came here last time. Now the extra one may be related to the person who caught Pei Jie, and the boxes are most likely to be placed in this newly erected tent.
When those people were arguing fiercely, Zheng Tan caught a gap and got into the newly erected tent.
Fortunately, Zheng Tan’s guess was correct, and the box was placed here.
After Zheng Tan came in, he glanced at it and found it.
However, there are several obvious scratches on the box, like sharp metal objects, especially in the combination lock, there are some impact marks in addition to the scratches.
Obviously, the man took the box and tried to open it, but Zheng Tan didn’t expect that the quality of Hou Junyi’s treasure box would be so strong.
In fact, the other party noticed the box that Pei Jie was carrying when he was catching Pei Jie. These people had some knowledge and good eyesight. They could see at a glance that the material of the box was extraordinary, so they wondered if there was anything valuable in it. , and brought it over.
The box is a bit heavy for small children, but for them, it’s nothing at all.
However, the man did not expect that after the box was brought in, he chopped and smashed it, and did not open the box. He originally planned to try other methods, but was delayed by some things, and now he has no time to open the box.
This also gave Zheng Tan a chance.
After listening to the movement outside and making sure that the six people were still in the tent over there, Zheng Tan quickly dialed the password and opened the box.
Zheng Tan studied the contents of the box when he was free. It was divided into several compartments, which unfolded in a gradient after being opened.
The upper layers are some gadgets, such as compass, Band-Aid, whistle, etc. In one of the layers, there is also a flat medicine box the size of a palm, which contains various medicines.
There are a lot of things, and Zheng Tan can’t use them either. However, when Zheng Tan and the Jiao family sent Jiao Yuan to the capital last time, Hou Junyi told him about the various items in the treasure chest and how to use them.
Zheng Tan couldn’t remember completely, but the most profound thing in his memory was what was in the box at the bottom.
On the bottom floor, Zheng Tan took out the box inside and opened it.
There is a metal material in the box that looks like a mechanical pencil. Next to the “mechanical pencil”, there is a slender cylinder. At first glance, people who don’t know it might think it is a mechanical pencil pencil lead.
Both ends of the cylinder can be opened, and some granular stuff is placed inside.
This mechanical pencil is equivalent to a launcher, and inside the cylinder are specially made bullets.
According to Hou Junyi, the pointed “bullet” is a narcotic bullet, and the flat-headed “bullet” is an electric shock bullet. The latter is more than double the size of the former, so there are fewer in number.
Zheng Tan counted, five anesthesia bombs and two electric shock bombs.
The person who brought the box would never have imagined that, in his opinion, this box, which was very likely to hold valuables, became a powerful tool for Zheng Tan.
The original plan was to make a lot of money afterwards, but unfortunately, this is actually an act of killing.
Zheng Tan looked at the “pen” and “refill” in his hand, but he didn’t know what the effect of this pen and two “bullets” would be.
This thing was made by Hou Junyi’s grandfather. It has been three years since Hou Junyi delivered the box. During the summer vacation, Zheng Tan went to Fang Mengmeng’s house in the capital to meet Hou Junyi, and heard Hou Junyi said that now that boy has a new treasure box, Moreover, the tools inside have been fully upgraded. This special mechanical pencil has been improved for several generations. The one in the treasure box given to Zheng Tan is relatively primitive.
Compared with the equipment in Hou Junyi’s hands now, Zheng Tan is definitely a lot behind, but in Zheng Tan’s view, this is already a good first aid tool, and with this Zheng Tan, it is good to be prepared.
The things that can be given to Hou Junyi will definitely not be too dangerous and out of control. Therefore, the effects of these two “bullets” must be limited, and they will not cause death. They are more suitable for defense and some emergencies.
There are too many things in the box, and there are some very interesting gadgets. Unfortunately, Zheng Tan can’t take all of them, and the goal of the box itself is too big. It is not easy for Zheng Tan to carry the box and leave safely. Therefore, Zheng Tan Just bring something less.
Putting the “pen” and “refill” next to him, Zheng Tan closed and locked the box again, then took the “pen” and “refill” to find a chance to leave.
Ordinary people can handle these two things with one hand, but Zheng Tan needs two hands.
Since the hands are used to carry things, they can only walk on two legs.

Zheng Tan wanted to try this “pen” first, and he also had a clue in his heart, but if he tried it, in order not to make any noise, Zheng Tan stayed away a little.
After feeling that the distance was close, Zheng Tan climbed up a tree, where it was relatively safe.
After groping for a while, Zheng Tan twisted the front third of the “pen” away, took a pointed bullet and put it in, and twisted the pen again.
Look around.
There was a blue-grey bird chirping on the tree in front, and Zheng Tan pointed his pen at the unlucky bird.
There is no sight, so I can only rely on feeling. Zheng Tan tried it for the first time, and he was not sure. Fortunately, the bird was about the size of the gray magpie on the campus, and it was close.
Zheng Tan held the “pen” with one hand and pressed the button at the end of the pen with the other.
After the soft click of the button, the bird fell off the branch and landed on the bushes below without a chirp.
