When Zheng Tan went out and went down the stairs, he found a note taped to the corner of the stairs from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, just at the eye level of Zheng Tan.

"When traveling far away, turn off unnecessary power sources to avoid potential safety hazards. Keep the doors and windows closed to prevent wind from blowing sand and dust in. Remember to bring food... Please refer to the detailed instructions on the desk for specific steps."

Dad Jiao’s handwriting.

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, then turned around helplessly and opened the door with some difficulty with the key hanging around his neck. He entered the bedroom of the Jiao family and his wife, and jumped up on the desk. As expected, there was an open notepad there, with all the things he was going to do.

It was listed in detail. Zheng Tan read it once, went back and walked around the house, followed the instructions on the instructions to turn off some power supplies, and close the doors and windows.

After putting everything in order, Zheng Tan went out with a bag of thumb cakes in his mouth, swiped the access card, came to a sycamore tree next to the cement road of the family compound in the East District, and climbed up the tree. At the third branch

There was a hole as big as a fist. Zheng Tan put the key and access card inside, and then grabbed two leaves to cover it.

Generally, there are few birds staying on the trees near the road in the family compound, including the parrot. As for other cats, they rarely climb trees here. If they want to climb, they climb the trees in the grove, not

It's next to the cement road. So Zheng Tan can rest assured when he puts his things here. After all, he can't go far away with the access card and home key marked with the pet's identity. That would be too inconvenient, and besides, he would be caught if he did something bad.

It's even more troublesome.

After putting them away, Zheng Tan went to the grass next to Dongyuan Supermarket and waited for the opportunity to get on the bus.

The delivery driver was helping to unload the goods. After moving the last box of things in the minivan, the driver leaned against the door to smoke. He turned his head and saw Zheng Tan squatting in the grass. Next to him was a bag of thumbs that children often eat.

cake.

"Hey, Hei Tan, are you going out to play again today?"

The delivery driver knew Zheng Tan, and he was already very familiar with this scene. The difference is that today the cat also brought a bag of biscuits. Is he preparing to go on a long trip?

Zheng Tan had also taken these two delivery trucks to sneak out twice before. The delivery driver was still a bit complaining at that time, but after Jiao's father gave him two cigarettes and a drink, the driver of the small truck looked at Zheng Tan every time he saw him.

Everyone can smile like a chrysanthemum. As long as Zheng Tan takes a ride, it means that he will receive gifts in the future, and the cigarettes and cigarettes are all good products. They cost more than 100 yuan in the supermarket over there at the Central Department Store.

Zheng Tan stretched out, picked up a thumb cake and jumped into the back of the pickup truck, waiting for the driver to finish paying with the supermarket owner and leave.

There was nothing else in the truck compartment today and it was unloaded very cleanly.

"Heitan, today's goods have been delivered. Instead of going to the Central Department Store, I will go home directly. Instead of taking the east school gate, I will take the back door of the second north gate."

The first two times Zheng Tan went for a walk around the Central Department Store, which is two stops away from the east gate of the family compound. It takes about twenty minutes to walk, but you can actually clearly see Chuhua University from the Central Department Store.

It's a tall building. The school is big, and it takes a few stops to get from one end of the school to the other.

What the truck driver just said was just talking. He didn't expect the cat to understand what he said. All he could do was give the black cat a ride. He didn't care where the cat went.

When it was almost six o'clock, all the items in Dongyuan Supermarket were counted and the accounts were settled. The truck driver greeted Zheng Tan and then drove the small truck towards the second north gate.

The setting sun has turned orange and is about to fall on the horizon. At the entrance of the North District cafeteria, students are coming in and out. The last class has just finished, and they are talking and laughing about the day's events.

A minivan passed by the North District Canteen. Zheng Tan, squatting in the shadow of the minivan, looked at them and suddenly felt sad when he thought of his past self. Before coming here for no reason, he was also a junior in college.

When the minivan drove to the intersection near the North District Canteen, Zheng Tan saw a young man wearing white work clothes riding a 28-style bicycle that rang nothing except the bell and went towards the North District Canteen.

.If you ignore the words "Chuhua University North District Canteen" printed on the left chest of his work clothes, others may think that he comes from some laboratory.

The future elites of the motherland were coming and going around him, but this young man riding a 28-year-old bicycle and wearing canteen uniforms did not have much envy in his eyes, let alone inferiority complex. When the wind blew, he could wear his work clothes with a high-end atmosphere.

Wearing a high-end windbreaker, humming a song, facing the red sunset, and still smiling brightly.

After going out from the north gate of Chuhua University, he did not get close to the Central Department Store. He could only look at the lights over there from a distance. Zheng Tan was familiar with the scenery there. The neon lights around the Central Department Store were also on, and the huge screens

Flashing, showing the prosperity of the metropolis.

Zheng Tan looked at everything reversing outside the car, like an out-of-place bystander. He had clearly seen a lot, but he didn't think of anything in his mind. He was always in a trance.

The minivan drove from the city center to the Third Ring Road and to the suburbs. The night was getting darker and the wind was getting colder.

The sudden stop of the minivan made Zheng Tan, who was in a daze, hit his head against the fender of the carriage with a "thud" sound.

Zheng Tan raised his fur paws and plucked the hair on his head.

Listening to the conversation outside, Zheng Tan knew that the truck driver had arrived home. He stood up, shook off the dust on his body, jumped out of the car with the bag of thumb cakes in his mouth, and looked around. Zheng Tan decided to find a place to sleep first and wait until daytime.

When he goes out for a walk again, even though he is a cat now, he still likes to take walks during the day.

When Zheng Tan was looking for a place to spend the night, the phone rang in a dormitory in a graduate dormitory of Chuhua University.

The person closest to the phone picked up the phone and said a few words of respect, and then said, "Please wait a moment. He should have finished taking a shower. I'll call him." He put the phone on the table and went to the bed diagonally opposite.

.

The person on the bed was sleeping soundly, grinding his teeth and smiling. The other three people in the dormitory were numb except for the initial shock.

The man who answered the phone just now pushed the man on the bed who was grinding his teeth as he slept, and said in a low voice: "Yixin, your boss is calling! I said you were taking a shower in the bathroom just now, don't say anything wrong later."

Hearing the words "your boss", the person who had been sleeping a little suddenly woke up, hurriedly climbed out of bed, ran to the toilet and cleared his throat. The voice of a person who had just woken up from sleep would be a little hoarse, but Yi Xin didn't want to

The instructor knows that he is actually sleeping during the prime time for memorization at night. Doesn't this ruin his image in the boss' mind?

"Teacher Jiao, I'm sorry I was just taking a shower, what can I do for you?" Yi Xin answered the phone, feeling that he was pretending well.

In order to cooperate with him, the roommates who played games stopped even typing on the keyboard, and even pretended to discuss the academic issue of why eating meat with garlic is nutritious.

On the other end of the phone, Dad Jiao paused and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."

Yi Xin: "..." What kind of ears does Boss Nimajiao have! The resolution is so high!

But what makes Yi Xin fortunate is that Associate Professor Jiao did not continue to dwell on this topic, but said: "Do you have time now?"

"Yes!" Yi Xin quickly expressed his position, even if he didn't have it, he would squeeze it out.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Xin stood in the living room of Jiao's house holding the key found in the drawer of Associate Professor Jiao's office.

This was the second time Yi Xin came to Jiao's house. The first time was when the results of the postgraduate re-examination were announced in the first half of this year. He was Associate Professor Jiao's first student, and he was also very capable. Associate Professor Jiao was very fond of him.

He took him seriously and invited him to Jiao's house for dinner.

Yi Xin had never met Zheng Tan. When Zheng Tan went to the biology department, no one except the Jiao family knew about it, so Yi Xin didn't know that the cat raised in his tutor's house was a bit special.

After searching around and finding no trace of the cat, Yi Xin came to the bedroom and called Associate Professor Jiao from the phone in the bedroom.

"Teacher Jiao, I didn't see the cat. Did your cat run away from home?" After saying this, Yi Xin wanted to slap himself in the mouth. You are so mean!

"Is the air conditioner plug unplugged?" Dad Jiao asked on the phone.

"Unplug it! The kitchen socket switch is also turned off!" Yi Xin said quickly, describing the situation in the room.

"Teacher Jiao, how about I buy a pack of cat food and put it here?" Yi Xin asked.

"No, as long as there are snacks on the sofa and the refrigerator is full."

Yi Xin: "..." Are there any people who raise cats like this?

"You come over every day to take a look and talk to me on my home phone. As for your work summary, there is no need to report it this week."

Yi Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't need to report on the progress of the experiment. The experiment hadn't gone well in the past two days and there was nothing to report.

"Okay, don't worry, I will come over at this time every day to take a look."

On the train, after giving instructions, Dad Jiao put his phone back in his pocket and looked at the dark night outside the window.

That little bastard really ran out again!
