Comrade Xiao Qu lives downstairs in a rather special household. The main reason for its specialness lies in the pet kept by the head of the household - a rare species of blue and purple macaw.

This bird is named "General", and it belongs to the richest and handsomest among parrots. This guy's worth is worth as much as a 100-square-meter well-decorated house in the center of Chuhua City, and its worth is still rising.

With a high IQ, proficiency in multiple languages, eye-catching appearance, and the principle that rare things are more valuable, it is no wonder that this cheap bird is not worth a lot.

Different from the balconies of most households in the family building here, the balcony of the fourth floor household is all enclosed with thick barbed wire. The main reason is to prevent the bird inside from flying out. It is not that I am afraid that it will fly away, but

I am afraid that it will bully people and animals. This guy looks very responsible, but in fact he is full of bad intentions.

"General" has a nickname called "Cat Jian Chou". This girl especially likes to bully cats, and especially likes to bite cats' ears. I heard that several cats in the school were bitten before. These were just when Zheng Tan arrived

I heard what Dad Jiao said when we visited this place. Dad Jiao gave Zheng Tan a lot of warnings. The original purpose was to make Zheng Tan be more vigilant against fire, theft, and parrots. Look at the size of this guy, and then think about the bite of a macaw.

You will know how lethal it can be when it gets violent.

However, after getting familiar with it, Zheng Tan knew that this bird was actually bullying cats. The cats in the east family area were fine. As long as they were not provoked, they would not attack. However, if they saw the cats in the west

Sorry about the cat over there in the family area.

Perhaps because of the influence of its owner, this bird especially likes to sing nostalgic old songs. Some songs Zheng Tan has only heard in nostalgic special documentaries. Some songs are not impressive at all, but listening to the tunes, you can tell that they are from a certain era, just like just now

The song Zheng Tan heard dates back to the 1980s, which was good.

What struck Zheng Tan most astonishing was the ability of this bird. If the average parrot had an IQ close to four or five years old, then the one downstairs would probably be comparable to an adult, and it would be a genius.

Why do you say that?

The birds downstairs were still singing in a low voice. Zheng Tan couldn't help it anymore. He looked up at the starry sky and let out a long sigh. Then he scanned the balcony and found a metal mosquito coil disc. He moved it to the edge of the railing and then

Stretch out your paw and tap lightly.

"Dang, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..." [Nima, it's so noisy!]

The singing downstairs stopped suddenly, and the next moment Zheng Tan heard the sound of flapping wings and the sound of toes hitting the barbed wire. Obviously, the bird did not expect to hear such a sound at this time, so it was very worried.

Excited, I ran to the barbed wire fence.

Not long after, a pecking sound came from downstairs. It sounded like the bird was pecking at some food packaging box.

"Didi, beep, beep, beep, beep..." [You are actually here!]

No one would have thought that in the middle of the night, a cat on the fifth floor of Building B, East Family Courtyard of Chuhua University, and a parrot on the fourth floor were communicating in Morse code.

In fact, Zheng Tan is not proficient in Morse code. He has not learned it for a long time. The one who is really proficient in using it is Big Fatty, the civet cat who seems to be the most inconspicuous and ineffective.

Every time the big fat man goes to visit relatives in the military area, or when the person from the military area comes to see the old lady, he will be inspected for cryptographic applications, such as Morse code communication, simple fence code card games, etc. If

Big Fat's test results are not ideal, hehe, just go and make instant noodles.

This parrot is a loyal fan of cryptography. When Big Fatty is at home, it will go to Big Fatty with cards in its mouth to play the fence code game. If it can't find Big Fatty, it will go to Zheng Tan or its owner to play Morse code.

Communication games, but its owner is usually busy and doesn't have much time to play with it, so Zheng Tan suffers more. Last week, "General" was taken to a nature reserve in other provinces to play.

It was a very relaxing few days.

Now that he found out that this guy was back, Zheng Tan suddenly felt very depressed.

[I heard that Ah Huang was castrated? I saw today that he actually had an Elizabethan ring] "General" was still in the excitement of finding someone to chat with in the middle of the night, and had no sympathy for Ah Huang at all.

[I haven’t seen it for several days] Zheng Tan continued to tap the mosquito coil plate.

[Alas, this is the fate of your pet cats. It is so pitiful. In the future, you Four Musketeers of the East District will probably become the Four Eunuchs of the East District]

[Not every pet cat will undergo that surgery]

[Don’t fool yourself, cat]

[Go away, I don’t care about you]

[Don’t leave, let’s talk again, aren’t your cats nocturnal animals]

[None of your business, I’m going to bed. By the way, can’t you sing something more fashionable?]

Half a minute later, the low-pitched singing sounded again downstairs.

"You are like a fire! The blazing flames warm me~"

Zheng Tan: "..." I really want to crush it to death!

Ignoring the overly energetic bird, Zheng Tan returned to the chair in the living room, bent his front paws to cover his ears, and closed his eyes to sleep.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qu was woken up by Zheng Tan's loud meow. He got up with difficulty, put on Spongebob's pajamas and opened the door to let Zheng Tan out.

In fact, Zheng Tan can open the door by himself, but after all, this is not his own home, so he needs to restrain himself. Besides, Zheng Tan also wants to cause some trouble for Xiao Qu and prevent him from sleeping comfortably.

When Xiao Qu yawned and forced his eyes open to open the door, he found that the Jiao family's door was open. After hearing the noise here, everyone who was having breakfast in the Jiao family came to the door.

Rubbing his eyes, Xiao Qu smiled and said, "Good morning!"

Zheng Tan walked straight to the dining table, but Mother Jiao had already gone into the kitchen to serve breakfast to Zheng Tan.

Outside the door, Xiao Qu picked out the mouse last night with a pair of fire pliers. Dad Jiao looked at it and commented: "The force is a little too strong, but overall it's okay."

Zheng Tan twitched his ears, pretended he didn't hear anything, and continued eating breakfast.

Mother Jiao also served a bowl of vegetable porridge to Xiao Qu and asked him to come and eat together. Anyway, with Xiao Qu's habits, it was impossible to buy breakfast or make breakfast by himself at this time. At the dinner table, Xiao Qu was drinking porridge while talking about yesterday.

The Jiao family was very excited about catching mice at night, especially Jiao's mother, who would tell everyone about it when she went out.

At noon, Ah Huang was brought over by his owner. He was no longer wearing the Elizabethan ring.

After not seeing each other for a few days, I felt that Huangqing had lost a lot of weight and looked lethargic. I had never seen him behave like this since Zheng Tan knew him.

Next to her, Mama Jiao was chatting with Ah Huang’s owner.

"Sister Ling, does Ah Huang look like this because he hasn't recovered from the surgery?" Mother Jiao was a little worried.

"Probably not. I saw that someone else's cat had the same surgery, and it was very active the next day. However, after this surgery, it did change a lot, and it no longer peed everywhere like before."

Zheng Tan walked into Jiao Yuan's room and pulled out a large glass marble.

Hearing the sound of rolling glass marbles, Ah Huang's ears moved and he looked over.

It's good if it reacts. Zheng Tan thought it would become dumbfounded due to the heavy impact of the operation. He bent the ball of his foot and pushed the glass marble towards the place where Ah Huang was lying.

Ah Huang, who was lying there wiltingly, stretched out his claws to hook the glass beads.

five minutes later.

Zheng Tan looked at Ah Huang who was full of energy playing with glass balls in the living room, and was filled with emotion. He was so shocked that he was so depressed because he was locked up at home!

Finally, at Mother Jiao's suggestion, Ah Huang was allowed to go out for a walk.

After going out, Ah Huang returned to his previous energetic state. As soon as he walked out of the building, he ran and howled with excitement.

"Meow ow - meow ow - meow ow -"

On the fifth floor, two women standing on the balcony were very confused. Didn't they say that cats that have undergone surgery will no longer meow like this?

Based on his understanding of Ah Huang, Zheng Tan knew that this guy was just venting his frustration at being forced to stay at home with Elizabeth for the past few days, and at the same time, he was also calling out other friends, that's all.

When they walked to the corner, they met Mrs. Zhai who lived on the third floor of the same building as Zheng Tan and the others. Zheng Tan and the other cats knew her.

"Ah Huang?" Old Mrs. Zhai called.

When he heard his name, Ah Huang, who was howling hard with his tail raised, stopped suddenly, then squinted his eyes and looked over, and responded "Meow~" delicately.

Zheng Tan: "..."

It feels like seeing an aunt who was waving her arms and cursing in the street suddenly transformed into a huge gap like Xiaojiabiyu.

I continued to jog along the familiar woods and came to the small woods next to the family area. Big Fatty and the police chief, who had been summoned by Ah Huang's call, were already there.

The fat man still looked like he was awake with half-drooped eyelids. As for the police chief, he didn't know what he was chewing in his mouth. It was probably some kind of insect.

The four cats walked a little further into the woods. Zheng Tan moved his ears. There seemed to be other people in the woods.

I looked up and saw a flash of blue on a tree in front of me.

It was "General". The yellow crescent shape on that guy's mouth always made Zheng Tan feel like it was smiling.

After Ah Huang looked up and saw "General", he opened his mouth and said, "Meow-"

The "General" on the tree heard the sound, glanced at the four cats under the tree with its yellow-rimmed eyes, then raised the paw without the positioning anklet and put it to his mouth: "Shh——"

Zheng Tan: "..."

What is this girl peeking at again?
