After I Dressed As a Stray Cat - Chapter 22

    Since the cows have been blown out, Gu Suli carefully planned the business development on the way home.

    When I got home, it was already dark.

    Jiangcheng is just a small city, the bridge hole is on the edge of the old city, because the land was abandoned before and has not been developed, and even the street lights have not been repaired. Fortunately, Gu Suri is now a cat, with good night vision.

    Gu Suli, who was full of various plans, warmed her heart, gathered her mixed thoughts and speeded up to run up the dirt slope, while she opened her voice and meowed.

    When the people in the shack heard the cat meow, they hurriedly took the light source and opened the curtain to illuminate it. Knowing that the cat could see it in the dark night, Mr. Liu couldn’t help but illuminate the cat with a flashlight After leaving the road, he smiled and said, “I knew you would come back, cat, why did you come back so late today?”

    “Meow~” Because I’m so busy today! Not only did they fight, but they were almost beaten by cats!

      Although it was just a well-behaved meow in Uncle Liu’s ears.

    Uncle Liu nodded cheerfully, as if he really understood, bent down and touched the head of the black and white cat, then turned around and opened the curtain to say hello: “Good cat, come in quickly , and left you a meal.”

    Uncle Liu really wastes food!

    Gu Suli felt a little guilty. After getting into the shack, he took his neck out of the plastic bag. The advantage is that the length is just enough to not drag on the ground when he walks with his head held high.

    The plastic bag was specially brought by Gu Suli for Uncle Liu.

    He can’t carry the heavy ones, just some light ones, such as ham, candy, and small bags of biscuits.

    He took out these things and piled them on the bed, Gu Suri pushed him in front of Uncle Liu with his claws, and looked at him with a pair of eyes that were shining under the light of the flashlight, I hope Uncle Liu would be happy with receive this gift.

    Uncle Liu’s eyesight is not good. Years of homelessness have made him seriously lack some vitamins, and he can’t see clearly at night. Just now he only knew that the cat had something hanging around his neck, but thinking that the cat likes to carry plastic bags, he didn’t take it to heart.

    I just didn’t expect that the cat brought him something to eat tonight.

    I’ve been alone for a long time, and I don’t have any relatives in this world to care about. Uncle Liu was stunned. His nose was sour, his eyes were hot, and two lines of hot tears fell.

    Gu Suri was startled and couldn’t sit still. He stood up and turned around to find some tissue or something, but the shack was low and narrow, and everything was lacking. A “luxury” like paper towels.

    Fortunately, Uncle Liu reacted quickly, raised his hand and wiped his face, and smiled a little embarrassedly: “Scared you, don’t be afraid, cat, grandpa really likes what you gave it These.”

     After sniffing, Uncle Liu held back his tears and hugged the black and white cat who was looking at him worriedly, and sighed softly while stroking the cat: Grandpa hasn’t received a gift for a long time, he’s so happy.”

    “Thank you cat, you are so smart, alas, you are so smart, even smarter than my son when he was a child, haha.” Uncle Liu smiled lightly, and he no longer thought of his son as sad and depressed .

    Holding the cat and looking at the cramped shack, Uncle Liu suddenly felt homesick, although there were no relatives at home, some cousins ​​were in the next room, and they were basically estranged over the years He hasn’t visited again, but he just suddenly misses the land that raised him.

    , made him suddenly feel the pain in his heart.

    “Cat, I want to go home.” After Uncle Liu finished speaking, he couldn’t help but let out a few more choked sobs. Relying on the fact that there was no one else here, there was only a smart and warm-hearted cat, so he endured and endured, but couldn’t bear it, he let go of his voice and began to cry, tears mixed with snot dripping down, and his arms were wet. The cat’s glossy, supple fur.

    The clean Gu Suri didn’t move, just quietly nestled in Uncle Liu’s arms, occasionally raising her head and rubbing the old man’s chin with his fur, so that he could feel a companionship with comfort.

    Feeling the cat’s indulgence, Uncle Liu cried more and more uncontrollably.

    Outside the shack, only the outline of a shack can be seen under the dark bridge hole, but the hoarse cry of the old man penetrated the shack, through the darkness, wandering back and forth in this empty wilderness , like a wandering soul with no direction and nowhere to go.

    Uncle Liu fell asleep while crying that night, which made Gu Suli worry for a while, for fear that the old man was not so tired that he fell asleep, but just fainted from crying.

    Fortunately, Gu Suli pricked her ears and listened for a while, and determined that the old man’s breathing was smooth, and it should be fine.

    Fortunately, when Uncle Liu cried until the second half of his tears, he climbed onto the bed with Gu Suli in his arms, curled up and choked like a wronged child, now only need Gu Suli to help cover Thin quilt.

    Otherwise, it will really make the cat have a headache how to get people to bed.

    After setting up Uncle Liu, Gu Suri gathered up all the things that were sent to the old man and placed them beside his pillow, while the “cat nest” originally placed next to the old man’s pillow was annoyed by him Panting and dragging it down, I found a corner to lay it on again.

    The black and white cat turned a few times on the nest made of old clothes, found a comfortable position, and then lay down with a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

    A pair of ears are still standing up alertly, dutifully capturing all the sounds in the vicinity.

    I woke up several times in the night, and Gu Suri woke up late the next day.

    I opened my eyes and looked outside, the sun was rising, and the sound of pots and pans came from outside the shack.

    It seems that not only is he up late today, but Uncle Liu also overslept.

    Gu Suri yawned, rubbed her face lazily with her two claws, and after a little sober she got out of the shack, and gave a meow to Uncle Liu who was cooking breakfast, “Good morning meow~”

    Uncle Liu’s eyelids were still red and swollen, but he was in good spirits. He smiled and waved to the cat who came out: “Morning, cat, are you hungry? You can eat immediately, this morning. There are fish to eat.”

    Yesterday, when he was picking up garbage, he deliberately found an abandoned backpack, and went to the vegetable market to get some discarded animal offal. In just one night, a lot of small fish and shrimps got into the bucket. Liu The uncle fished them all out and prepared them for a while, and dried them for the cat as snacks.

    Because he was so busy, Mr. Liu didn’t rush out to pick up trash today.

    Gu Suli heard the fish eating, her ears perked up, she was going to wash by the river, but she ran to the side of the pot and looked inside, and she saw the white porridge Roll fish.

    Look to the side, yo! And some fried fish!

    Uncle Liu saw the cat’s eyes staring into the pot, and couldn’t help laughing: “Don’t worry, it’s all yours, there’s no salt in it, hurry up to wash, and come back Began to eat.”

    Knowing that cats love to be clean, they go to the river to wash up every morning. Uncle Liu is thoughtful, and plans to buy a cat toothbrush for the cat when he goes out to work today.

    Although he will leave soon and cannot help the cat to brush his teeth, Mr. Liu believes that a smart cat can find a way to use the toothbrush by himself.

    Thinking of this, Uncle Liu couldn’t help but feel sad and almost cried again. Quickly rubbing his eyes, Uncle Liu smiled and rubbed the cat, gently pushing the cat’s buttocks to urge: “Come on, don’t try to steal it.”

    Gu Suri, who never thought about stealing food: “…”

    The nose twitched, and he took a deep breath of the aroma of fried small fish. Gu Suli quickened his pace and rushed down the slope, and came to the river to take the time to wash. While biting the toothbrush and cleaning his teeth, Gu Suli was also thinking about buying daily necessities.

    Breakfast was sweet and delicious shrimp, fish and porridge with fragrant and chewy pan-fried small fish, Gu Suri ate his beard and made a snoring sound involuntarily.

    Uncle Liu was holding a bowl of shrimp, rice, fish and meat porridge with salt added next to it, accompanied by a packet of mustard, and looked at the cat with a smile while eating.

      He said a word or two about his hometown to Gu Suli.

    Until Gu Suli finished cleaning work, stood up and shook her hair to say goodbye to Uncle Liu to go out to work. Looking at the black and white cats, he asked softly, “Mao, I’m going back to my hometown tomorrow, would you like to come with me?”

    Gu Suri, who was about to raise his claws and wave, was stunned for a moment, looked at the old man stupidly, and felt an unreal feeling that he had heard wrong.

    He never thought to be Uncle Liu’s cat, but he never thought that parting would come so soon.

    Uncle Liu’s eyes flashed a trace of clarity, the slender, squatted old man with cloudy eyes sighed and said confidently: “Cat, you can understand what I said. ,Is it right?”

    Without waiting for the black-and-white cat to give a clear response, Uncle Liu turned his eyes away and looked at the river under the bridge that was not yet full of abundance, “When I was young, I didn’t have any big dreams, I just thought I live on my own one-third of an acre. Like my ancestors, I lived in poverty for the rest of my life. But my daughter-in-law is capable and capable. When no one in the village dared to come out, she came out first. At that time, everyone in the village said that my daughter-in-law ran away, and I don’t want to be with my children. I have a good temper, and they all denied it with a smile, but I was actually a little scared.”

    Speaking of this, Uncle Liu smiled, with light in his eyes, as if traveling through time and space, returning to those years when he was young.

    “I was afraid, so I hugged my son and whispered bad things about my daughter-in-law in my heart.” Uncle Liu patted the head of the cat who was listening carefully, “You say I’m bad Isn’t it bad? Haha, so it is said that honest people actually have dishonest moments in their hearts, but I didn’t let my daughter-in-law find out, hehe.”

    He smiled smugly.

    “Afterwards, my daughter-in-law came back with a lot of money. It was the first time I saw so much money. Now, it’s only more than 2,000, which is not much, but At that time, more than 2,000 people became rich overnight, I was completely stunned, my hands were shaking, my daughter-in-law laughed loudly, and she said that she would laugh at me for the rest of her life.”

    Uncle Liu’s eyes were red, but he didn’t cry, he still smiled: “Unfortunately, my daughter-in-law didn’t do it. Later, we took the baby out to work together, and the baby got lost. , although she didn’t say it, but I knew that she blamed herself very much. Every time she cried in her dreams, she would beat herself in places I couldn’t see. She always thought that if she hadn’t insisted on me and my son go out together, my son You won’t be kidnapped.”

    It seems that she has always cared about it, and may have nothing to say. Uncle Liu repeated like a repeating machine: “My daughter-in-law said that she would laugh at me for the rest of her life, but she didn’t laugh anymore.”

    After that, Uncle Liu didn’t say anything more, and sat in silence for a long time before finally regaining his senses, shaking his hands and taking out a worn wallet from his arms, and then took out two well-protected wallets from the wallet , but still yellowed the old photos of the color.

    One is a big one. The photo is of a young couple holding a cute child. The young man is holding the child with a simple and honest smile. Big White Teeth is particularly eye-catching. The young woman next to her tied two short braids, supported the man and the child, and posed a pretty pose, smiling brightly and heroically.

    The child in the man’s arms grabbed his hand ignorantly and stared at the camera with round eyes.

    Uncle Liu touched and touched the photo, then put it away, and gave another small photo of the child to Gu Suli: “Although we have only been together for a few days, in my heart, you Just like my son, when I go back to my hometown, we will be a family when I come back, okay?”

    Perhaps in his future life plan, everything is good, Mr. Liu smiled very comfortably: “When I come back, I will not be wandering anymore, I will re-issue my expired ID card, and then When I come back, I will use my savings to rent a house first, and then try to find a job as a janitor and sweeper. If I can’t find it, I still have the craft of making up gadgets! Young people nowadays like them, and then I will Setting up a stall can always feed our grandfather.”

    Gu Suli was moved, her tail was raised, and after thinking for a while, she stepped forward and put her head against the old man’s dangling palm.

    Uncle Liu touched him with a laugh: “It seems that the cat agrees, by the way, we will give you a serious name when the time comes, but you can’t meow like a cat.”

    After speaking, Uncle Liu handed the small inch photo to Gu Suli: “Here, this is your eldest brother, this photo is for you, so that you can recognize someone.”

    After saying that, she couldn’t help laughing, but Gu Suri took the photo seriously, put it down, looked left and right, and seriously recognized the child in the photo some time.
