Chapter 601 Haining Cat Island (11) [VIP]
The little white cat was silent.
The little white cat was shocked.
The little white cat stretched out its neck, and every hair on its body was written with "want to escape".
Lu Changfeng also stretched his neck, his eyes filled with the same disbelief.
Perhaps the action of one person and one cat was too dramatic, and the commentators couldn't help but say:
[Rice noodle rolls and kittens seem like the emoticons in that forum. 】
[Which one? ]
【No, buddy.jpg】
[Why can your foundation post pictures? ]
[Why can your foundation post pictures? ]
[Because I have subscribed to the membership, v me 50 and I will tell you how to post pictures in the barrage. ]
In the incredulous eyes of the man and the cat, Guan Hongyan took a deep breath and looked at Lu Changfeng: "Where is the faucet you bought?"
"Downstairs?" Lu Changfeng asked blankly.
Guan Hongyan closed her eyes silently: "Bring it up."
Now that things have come to this, let’s give the leader a meal first.
A few minutes later, with a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound, Lu Changfeng hugged the little white cat tightly in his arms, wanting to call the police.
——But I’m more afraid that the leader will eat the police who come after hearing the news.
Just when a box of faucets was about to run out of water, finally, with a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived.
"The cat is coming, the cat is coming," the woman on the tenth floor hurriedly walked out of the elevator holding a huge rag doll, pushed open the security door with difficulty, and said as she walked.
"My rebellious daughter has been very uncooperative today. I had to tear off two cat strips before she agreed to let me carry her out..." She paused in the middle of her voice: "Hmm?"
In the corridor on the fifth floor, three people were squatting on the ground, all looking in her direction.
Between the three people, there was a huge cardboard box with "Xinxin Hardware" written on it and a pile of melon seed shells. Inside the cardboard box, for some reason, there were a few stainless steel faucets scattered around.
Among the three people around the cardboard box, the red-haired girl was looking at her with a very regretful look, as if she saw that she had missed out on 50 million.
Resident on the tenth floor:?
Is she missing something? Why is he looking at her like that?
"You...I..." She hesitated and looked at her blurry reflection in the window, and asked blankly, "Is there something on my face?"
"No." Guan Hongyan shook her hair.
"…That's my cat, what's the problem?"
She raised her head in surprise: "No."
“Then why are you looking at me like that…” The resident on the tenth floor trembled.
"Oh," Guan Hongyan showed a subtle smile, "I just feel regretful."
As long as there is one person in this world who has not seen the leader eating stainless steel, she will feel regretful!
[Sister Yan'er's expression...]
[I feel like I have turned dark...]
[Fate, what have you done to Sister Yan'er? ]
【Fate arranged for her to have Chao Yougan and Du Zhongsheng as teammates.】
【What a cruel fate...】
[So Sister Yan'er turned evil because she remembered the fear she felt when she was dominated by the rich guys last time? ]
[How can this be called domination? We rich guys have our own rhythm! Don’t worry about it!]
To be fair, if Guan Hongyan had to choose between Chao Yougan and Du Zhongsheng to explore the unknown space together, Guan Hongyan would definitely choose Chao Yougan. If for no other reason, at least there is no cat that keeps spitting out scarlet tentacles on Chao Yougan's head.
After all, Chao Yougan is just an ordinary little genius in business warfare, while Du Zhongsheng, his Leopard Cat Leader, has elevated this exploration to a level it shouldn't have.
Leopard Cat Leader...wait, can this thing really be called a cat?
Guan Hongyan silently changed the adjective in her heart.
In short, before the residents on the tenth floor came down, the cat-shaped creature above Du Zhongsheng's head waved its tentacles over his head and chewed the stainless steel faucet in the box at a speed and sound that made people's teeth ache...or it can't be called chewing, it's probably a kind of swallowing it whole. Guan Hongyan even suspected that its stomach was actually another space, otherwise how could it hold a faucet that was several times its size.
Lu Changfeng next to him had become petrified like a statue. Out of sympathy for her teammate who was in the same boat, Guan Hongyan kindly patted him on the shoulder.
As a result, before her hand even touched Lu Changfeng, Guan Hongyan heard his voice: "Damn, Brother Du, the leader is a divine beast!"
Du Zhongsheng glanced at him calmly and corrected him: "God."
"The leader is a god!" Lu Changfeng was very supportive, "Oh my god, he's so powerful!"
Before he came in, he thought that this exploration would require three of them to protect one team member. Now it seems that Du Zhongsheng does not need any protection at all!
And he's very strong! He has a cat that eats stainless steel!
Lu Changfeng looked at Du Zhongsheng and the leader with amazement, his eyes filled with genuine admiration.
"Do you want to join the religion?" Du Zhongsheng finally gave him a look.
"Can I?" Lu Changfeng blinked. "I had stitches on my face when I was injured before. Does this count?"
"Well?" Du Zhongsheng frowned and thought for a while, "But we don't seem to need talents like you very much. You can be considered a reserve believer and wait for inspection."
"Wait," Guan Hongyan had to speak up to stop him, "Don't join the sect yet. Let's think about how to explain to people that we rescued the cat when they come."
What exactly makes her expect Lu Changfeng to share the same hatred with her?
And why doesn't Lu Changfeng need it? Your sect is always chopping hands and feet, so it really needs a nanny, okay!
After Lu Changfeng joined, the sect could at least double its number of believers. Those elderly people who were too old to do anything had finally had their chance to join the sect...
Guan Hongyan, who had been assimilated without realizing it, silently opened the Foundation's temporary group chat: [@Yun Guang, I regret it. I should have let you come out with us. ]
Lu Changfeng should be thrown out of her group of people who share the same suffering.
Yun Guang replied quickly. It seemed that nothing happened in the pet hospital: [Huh? What happened? Is there any emergency?]
Guan Hongyan: [There are too many. The leader suddenly ate a box of tap water, and Lu Changfeng suddenly prepared to join the sect.]
It is urgent to end the exploration and leave this unknown space. If things continue like this, it is unknown whether the faucet inventory on Haining Island will run out, but Lu Changfeng is likely to go astray.
Although the scar on his face looks like he has never been on the right track.
In such a strange atmosphere, the resident on the tenth floor finally came down carrying the cat.
"Regret...?" She hesitated and looked at Guan Hongyan, who was smiling delicately. She looked around at the three people and finally found the highlight. "You rescued the cat?!"
"Yes," Guan Hongyan put away her pitying look and explained, "We just tried it again with the hanging bar. Unexpectedly, it was very cooperative this time and was hung up in no time. It just struggled a bit when it came in, so we threw the hanging bar down in order to hold the cat."
This was of course what the three of them had agreed upon.
The beam where the kitten was trapped was a long distance from the window, and there was no other way to get the cat back safely from there except using a hanging rod.
And since the boom was eaten by the leader, he also needed an excuse to disappear.
"Ah? Is it hanging back?" A collapsed voice came from the bottom of the corridor.
"Damn it, didn't our move go in vain?" Lu Changfeng leaned his head to look down, and saw Brother Li popping up from the bottom of the corridor. He said in a broken tone, "Why didn't you send a message to tell me after you rescued him?"
Guan Hongyan: “…I forgot.”
This is really forgotten.
Anyone who sees a cat eating from a faucet will forget to notify it.
Unfortunately, this very reasonable reason cannot be told to Brother Li.
Guan Hongyan touched the tip of her nose guiltily and took a few steps back to avoid the condemning expression of Li Ge, who was sweating profusely.
"Rescued? Then I'll go and take pictures." Xiao Zhou quickly came up with a camera in hand.
"Who rescued him?" she asked casually as she climbed the stairs.
"I." Bai Jinshu said.
"Doctor Du!" Xiao Zhou exclaimed, "You are so amazing! You are so skilled! You can catch thirty-nine people and jump far! Oh my god, Brother Li should double your salary!"
"Call my card." Bai Jinshu answered very smoothly.
"Hey, did I say it was open?!" Brother Li heard this and raised his head and shouted upwards from the first floor, "Dr. Du's double salary will be deducted from your salary, Xiaozhou!"
"No!" Xiao Zhou held up the sports camera. "I'm going to take a close-up photo of Dr. Du and put it in this video, so that all the fans can see Dr. Du's face... No, Dr. Du's heroic figure! I'm sure I'll gain a lot of fans, but it's a pity that I didn't record the moment when Dr. Du caught the cat..."
Guan Hongyan twitched her lips: "It would be terrible if this was recorded..."
Once you record it, you will start to doubt the reality of the world.
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
"Is this a long jump?" Xiao Zhou rushed up to the fifth floor in a few steps. He didn't realize that he had missed the door to the new world. He circled around the kitten in Lu Changfeng's arms curiously, "So small? Much smaller than we saw just now!"
"How big did it look just now?" Lu Changfeng was curious.
"About... this big?" Xiao Zhou pointed with one hand, "In the video, it looks like it's about as long as my forearm."
"I'll export the video for you when I get back," she pointed to the sports camera in her hand, "I recorded it when Li Ge was fishing for cats just now."
"Let me see, it's a little white cat, it's so dirty, and it's hard to bathe it when it's so small," Xiao Zhou scratched the cat's chin with one hand. "Just now when I looked through the window, it seemed like it was quite big, but now it seems to be only half the size of the leader. It's so small, and I don't know how it jumped onto the beam. Brother Li's name is quite appropriate."
"What's the name? How far can it jump?" Guan Hongyan also came over and touched the cat a few times. "How big is this cat?"
She had never had a cat and had no idea of the size or age of a cat.
"Two or three months?" Xiao Zhou estimated. "The distance it can jump is only as big as my palm. This breed is a common native cat on the island. It is thin and has short hair. I thought it must be at least five or six months old. It's so small?"
The beam is much farther away from the window. The jumping distance is proportional to the body size, just like tall people tend to have better standing long jump results, the same is true for cats. Big cats can jump farther than small cats and are more likely to jump to dangerous places.
When they saw the beam in the distance, they subconsciously thought that the cat trapped on it was probably a medium-sized cat. As it was dark, they couldn't see clearly how big the trapped cat was. They didn't expect it to be only the size of a human palm.
Xiao Zhou scratched the cat's chin while expertly assessing its condition: "No ear mites, no ringworm, no stomatitis... nothing either. The nails need to be trimmed. It's in pretty good condition."
Generally speaking, wild cats will have some diseases. This kitten is healthy all over, which is rare.
"Could it be someone's cat that ran away?" Xiao Zhou frowned after checking.
"It probably doesn't belong to this building," Lu Changfeng took the initiative to answer, "Just now an old man asked all the residents in the building, but no one came to claim it."
"Could it be that it ran here from another building?" Xiao Zhou frowned. "Why don't we take it back tonight and come back tomorrow to ask who lost their cat."
"Huh, if I had known I could catch it, I wouldn't have had to carry the board. Doctor Du, I'll call you next time I rescue a cat." Brother Li and Fang Xiang finally climbed up the stairs. "How about giving it something to eat first?"
Xiao Zhou recalled: "The cat food is in the car downstairs."
"In the car?" Li Ge glared, "I just climbed up here and you told me the cat food was downstairs?"
"Do you want something to eat? I just happened to bring some cat food with me," the resident on the tenth floor took out a cat food from his pocket, "I just put it in my pocket when I went downstairs."
She had intended to squeeze the cat strips onto the board to lure the kitten to eat them, but she didn't expect that even though the cat had been rescued, the food was still used by accident.
"Just right, just right, thank you," Li Ge waved his hand, and sat on the ground with his legs limp from exhaustion. He let out a long sigh and complained, "You don't know, Xiao Fang and I went out to find a board, and walked a long way before we found one that was similar. Then, because the board was too long to get in the car, we had to carry it all the way here, passing through a bunch of grandpas and aunties downstairs. As soon as I got here, I heard that you had rescued the cat. I shouldn't have moved it earlier. Now we have to climb the stairs, and it's so tiring."
Bai Jinshu looked towards the elevator door on the right: "...Why did you climb up?"
"Isn't there an elevator?"
Brother Li:?
"Yes," he followed Bai Jinshu's line of sight and twitched his lips, "Why do the two of us have to climb up? We were planning to carry the boards up the stairs because we couldn't get them into the elevator."
But now that the cats have been rescued and there’s no need to move the boards, why don’t they just take the elevator?
"It's okay," Xiao Zhou sighed while watching the fun, "Although the child is not smart, he is very strong."
"You're still talking about me!" Li Ge turned around and kicked her heel, "If you hadn't climbed up the stairs first, the two of us wouldn't have been so slow to react."
"You can't blame me for that." While the two were playing around, Xiao Zhou had already skillfully taken the cat food and was ready to feed it to Tiao Deyuan. However, before Tiao Deyuan could eat, he heard the voice of the resident on the tenth floor next to him suddenly raised: "Xiao Yuan!"
"What's wrong?" Everyone turned their heads and saw that the cat, which had just been lying obediently in the arms of the resident on the tenth floor, suddenly bared its teeth and claws and tried to pounce on Xiaozhou.
"No... it's not for you!" A group of people looked at her at the same time. She couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on her face. She gritted her teeth and tried to hold her cat. "That cat food is not for you! You are not allowed to snatch food from the kitten..."
This obviously had no effect.
Xiaoyuan broke free from her arms, ruthlessly left her old mother behind, jumped onto Xiaozhou's trouser leg, and began to meow in every possible way to act cute.
“Uh…” The resident on the tenth floor silently covered his face, feeling deeply ashamed. He wanted to pretend that he didn’t know the cat. “I’m sorry, my rebellious girl is just so greedy… Usually when I open a cat bar for her at home, she’s always the first to rush in…”
She fumbled for a while and took out another cat note from her pocket: "Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan! Come here, mommy, that one is for the kitten, what are you trying to steal!"
Smelling the familiar scent of cat strips, Xiaoyuan, among the two humans holding cat strips, finally turned around and excitedly jumped towards the direction of the residents on the tenth floor.
"It's okay, it's normal," Xiao Zhou comforted, "All cats are like this."
"It's rare to see someone like the leader," Li Ge stroked his chin thoughtfully, looking at the leopard cat on Bai Jinshu's head and muttered, "It actually has no reaction to the cat strips. I said that my name is very appropriate, Cat Ignores, how appropriate."
There were three cats present. Xiaoyuan, brought by the woman, was crying so hard, but the leopard cat just squatted above Du Zhongsheng's head without moving, and seemed to have no interest in the cat at all.
It can't be said that it didn't move at all...at least it gave Xiaoyuan a look of contempt.
Brother Li: ...This is the first time I've seen a cat that disdains cat strips and despises its own kind.
Guan Hongyan sneered beside him.
Of course I'm not interested. There is no cat strips on the leader's menu, only metal.
There were only one or two faucets left in the box. Wait?
Guan Hongyan's eyes rested on the box with the words "Xinxin Hardware" written on it.
When the residents on the tenth floor came out of the elevator just now, there were still two or three faucets left. Why are they all empty now?
She cast her sharp eyes towards the leopard cat above Du Zhongsheng's head.
Under the light from the corridor, she seemed to see a flash of cold metal at the corner of the leopard cat's mouth.
Guan Hongyan raised her head and tried to express her disbelief to Du Zhongsheng with her eyes: ...When did the leader stretch out his tentacles and eat the remaining taps? !
[I reported it because when everyone was watching Madoka, the leader stretched out his tentacles and ate three faucets. ]
[In order to cover him, the Cat Saint actually squatted down for more than ten seconds. I cried my heart out.]
[The leader still loves stainless steel, I am crying. 】
[The leader only eats stainless steel and not humans. I cry to death.]
[Passing by, is this Cthulhu Space? Why do your cats have tentacles? ]
[No, this is an advanced business war class.]
[No, this is a missionary site.]
[No, this is a hospital. If you don't believe me, ask them. They all say they are sick. They either need to have their appendix removed or their wisdom teeth extracted. I advise you not to stay too long, or you will get sick too.]
【ah? 】
…
In the unknown space, although the ownership issue of the cat was solved, Tiao Deyuan in Lu Changfeng's arms only licked the cat a few times with his tongue, and then there was no response to it.
"Brother Li, what should we do if we don't want to eat cat strips?" Xiao Zhou turned around and asked.
"If it doesn't eat cat food, it might be a little stressed if it jumps so far." Brother Li stood up from the steps and touched the top of the kitten's head. "It has been trapped outside for too long today. Why don't we take it back first and come back here tomorrow to ask whose cat it is."
"Who's guarding the store tonight?" Xiao Zhou asked casually.
"I'll guard it," Li Ge took the cat from Lu Changfeng's arms, "You take Doctor Du and the others to where they live first.
"It's already this late," Li Ge glanced at his watch, "Why don't you guys go back first? I think it's not far from here. I'll take the cat to the store by myself and I'll be in charge of the store tonight."
Unlike ordinary stores, the foster area of the pet store has too many cats, so someone must be left on duty at night. Li Ge took the initiative to speak, and Xiao Zhou handed him the one that jumped far as usual: "Then I'll go back first?"
"You guys should go back too," Brother Li looked at Du Zhongsheng and the others, "You just arrived on the island last night, so you must have a lot of things you haven't sorted out yet. Go back and sort them out first."
"Okay," Guan Hongyan did not refuse, "Then let's go back first."
Although it seemed to the natives that they had arrived here the night before, the exploration team actually entered the unknown space this morning, and they had not had time to see where they would stay for the next few nights.
"I'll tell Yun Guang," she took out her phone and sent a message to Yun Guang, and naturally began to ask for information, "We just arrived on the island and are not familiar with it. If we leave from here, which bus should we take, Brother Li? We came in such a hurry last night that we forgot how to get there."
"The house number is 308. After you go in, turn in through the second archway and keep going straight in. You will see it after a while," Li Ge said casually, "Forget it, how about I give you a ride?
Apart from Wu Meng and Tong Yao who led the old men away, there were exactly four people present.
Guan Hongyan nodded naturally, and the few of them followed Brother Li and took a ride in his car, and finally got out of the city.
The strange thing is that as we drove along from the city, there were more and more people on the roadside, so it didn't seem like we were driving into the suburbs, but rather like this was the city.
After entering this unknown space for a whole day, everyone finally saw the grand occasion of Haining Island tourism.
The roads in the suburbs are not as flat as those in the city, and there are no marked lanes. Various roadside snack stalls, handicraft stalls, and stalls selling balloons, lanterns, and sachets form a long line. Tourists wearing island-style skirts and shorts shuttle through it. The cats on Haining Island run around in the crowd as if they are not afraid of people, and try to get a bite of food from everyone equally.
Even these cats were not afraid of cars. When they saw Bai Jinshu sitting by the bed, some of them even looked eager to jump into the car, which scared Li Ge so much that he quickly closed the car window.
"There are so many tourists here?" Guan Hongyan asked curiously, "There are so many tourists here, why are there so few people in the city?"
"There are many homestays here," Li Ge frowned and honked a few times. He slowly released the brakes after the tourists walking on the roadside had dispersed. "The urban area is closer to the center of the island. The suburbs are all old houses and beach cliffs. It's okay to take pictures here, but it's not convenient to stay here."
The temporary residence that Li Ge found for them was the neighbor’s old house. Most of the indigenous people on Haining Island are fishermen, and the old house is also in the suburbs near the sea. Unlike most urban suburbs, the suburbs of Haining Island are mostly residential areas. These residential areas are far away from modern building communities, and the buildings retain the original style of Haining Island, which is the favorite place for tourists to check in.
For tourists, there is nothing interesting to see in the small island town area which is monotonous and even has infrastructure far behind that of the mainland. The beaches, sea cliffs and island-style buildings are their main purpose of coming here.
What's more, most of the wild cats on the island prefer to move around in this area, and there are more cats here than in the urban area.
Along the way, tourists were either buying things or playing with cats on the roadside. It was like a large open-air cat cafe, which made Hongyan, who is not very greedy for cats, feel itchy.
"Then why doesn't your neighbor run a B&B, Brother Li?" Fang Xiang was also curious.
With so many tourists, it would be profitable to run a B&B.
"The whole family left Haining Island and moved inland," Li Ge explained while steering. "Because they are old neighbors, the key to their house has always been with us. We help take care of it and clean up during the holidays. This time you came when the place was packed with tourists, so I told the neighbors to let you stay in their house for a while, and they agreed."
Haining Island tourism has only become popular in the past few months. His neighbor's family moved away several years ago. At that time, running a homestay was not a profitable business, and there were very few people coming here to travel.
No one expected that Haining tourism would suddenly become popular this year.
"Okay, this is it," Brother Li stopped the car, "It's the yard on the left, I'll drive back to the store."
Bai Jinshu looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there were flashing homestay signs on both sides of a narrow alley.
Between the homestays, there is a dark bungalow sandwiched in the middle. Looking around, surrounded by colorful lights, there is a kind of solemnity that makes people feel cold.
