The kitchen wall was shaken by dim lights of different shades, and the kitten sat by the window with a serious expression, staring at the street lamp behind the black branches and leaves of the big tree outside the window. The light swayed with the wind and projected the beautiful outline of the kitten on the white wall through the window sill of the kitchen.
It seems to have a deep memory of the outside world, not to mention, only to savor it in the dead of night. The kitchen is clean. Grandma Xiao Zhi is a hardworking person. She didn't leave meat foam and vegetable residue on the chopping block or the sink to make them moldy. The air is mixed with the smell of detergent. No wonder kittens can immerse themselves in such an environment.
The kitten stopped thinking and looked away from the floating branches and leaves outside the window. The tight hair on her neck relaxed a lot and her mood seemed to be relaxed. It turned around and a soft meat claw rested on the edge of a pile of plates of different sizes. It felt something was wrong and suddenly shrank back, but the plate still made it tremble with fear. It quickly jumped from the marble table to the ground and instantly escaped into the darkness from the interwoven light.
He remembers that in the corner of the kitchen door, Xiao Zhi's mother left him a big bowl of chowder. At that time, it ate delicious meat, sniffed around the noodle soup, felt boring, and went to find other fun. Now it's back next to the big bowl, its nose is sniffing the condensed oil in the noodle soup carefully, and its appetite is aroused again. It became very clever, and its sharp mouth reached into the soup, and soon picked up a large piece of coriander stained with meat foam. Glittering grease hung on a few tall beards, and when the delicate mouth ate it, the grease fell to the ground.
In the sink, the wisps of smoke from Ran Ran made the mosquitoes in the corner of the kitchen uncomfortable, but it made the kittens excited after eating and drinking. It found the right position, and in a blink of an eye, its two front legs clung to the pool. In the imbalance, the kitten trembled and looked out at the burning red mosquito cigarette butts in the pool, showing the extremely rare embarrassment of sensitive cats. The kitten hanging by the pool struggled and seemed to hear it bite its teeth. Finally, instinct told him to jump into the pool without warning. His stomach touched the hot head of mosquito-repellent incense, and the burnt hair emitted Ran Ran smoke. The kitten jumped on the high platform with a tingle and knocked over the neatly folded plates and bowls.
The sound of breaking porcelain tore the silent night, and the short echo was particularly long in the kitten's ear. It opened its eyes wide and showed a surprised expression, which was particularly chilling under the lonely and cold street lamp. In fact, the horror world imagined by cats did not appear. Maybe the sound just interrupted the master's dream and made him sleep in a more comfortable position with a steady snoring.
But this is a simple-minded cat, and it can't let go of its unintentional mistakes. Until the end, the whole world was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere, holding it still. Quiet nights are no longer charming or worrying. The confusing shadows on the wall are like ghosts. It recalls standing at the window, pretending to think deeply and pretending to regret, which is the source of evil pleasure. Enjoying food and longing for fun are not your own. Joy can lead to sadness. Now you can only wait for the trial to come quietly.
Dawn has come. Grandma Xiao Zhi gets up first to prepare breakfast for the day. Before I pushed open the kitchen door, I heard the cat barking at the top of my lungs, which was easy to make people feel uncomfortable. Xiao Zhi's mother rubbed her sleepy eyes and dragged bamboo slippers lazily into the living room, leaving a crisp and pleasant voice on the floor. As soon as she heard the kitten's cry, she subconsciously stopped to listen, and her carefree mood in the morning suddenly melted into the piercing cry.
She and grandma Xiao Zhi opened the kitchen door almost at the same time. The kitchen is full of bright light. Through the windowsill, birds can be heard intermittently in the lush trees outside. But this patterned floor is a shocking sight.
The kitten flew over the door and immediately got under the stairs. His inner shame and collapse are not known to outsiders. In Xiao Zhi's mother's eyes, a kitten is tantamount to shirking responsibility, just as a driver is as hateful as hitting a person who is afraid of sin instead of saving others.
"I must catch it and throw it into the street." As she spoke, she grabbed a feather duster and stirred it around in the messy stairwell.
Grandma Xiao Zhi stood in the empty living room, her hands dangling and rubbing each other. He watched Xiao Zhi's mother's every move, but he couldn't stand it. Her eyes wandered and her mouth was half open, leaving only a sigh. I saw Xiao Zhi's father come out of the room with a stretch. Grandma Xiao Zhi seems to have grasped the straw. She dare not say anything loudly. She just stepped forward and pointed to the stairwell. Her eager eyes are exciting enough.
Xiao Zhi's father threw off his legs and immediately went to the stairwell.
"What is the name of the twittering in the early morning?" He asked with some complaints.
"You see what it's like in the kitchen! Animals are animals. What is a good friend of mankind? There are no rules at all! " Xiao Zhi's mother stood up straight and shouted at the sundries embedded in each other.
Sure enough, through the open kitchen door, Xiao Zhi's father not only saw the bright light of dawn, but also saw the broken dishes and greasy leftovers and soup spilled all over the floor. It is estimated that the air is full of disgusting smell.
"Wow, how did this happen? I woke up one night and the kitchen seemed to be looted by bandits. " Xiao Zhi's father was dumbfounded. "In this way, don't even eat breakfast. Is it this cat? "
"In addition to it, who else? Why would a thief come? I can't wait to catch it and kill it. " Xiao Zhi's mother gnashed her teeth and crawled on the ground in the stairwell, her head stuck in a pile of utility rooms. She heard the kitten's immature and helpless voice and looked for it.
"It's incredible! It's unbelievable! The docile kitten has such destructive power. But last night, it was really mom who kept the cat in the kitchen to eat. " Xiao Zhi's father said.
"Who knew this would happen? I didn't expect it either. " Grandma Xiao Zhi said in an innocent tone, but she couldn't restrain her inner remorse. However, what worries her most is that it is hard for Xiao Zhi to accept the loss of the kitten she tried to convince.
Xiao Zhi came out of the room, his chubby hands rubbing his blindfolded eyes. Today, I got up earlier than usual because the chirp downstairs disturbed my dream. His feet stepped firmly on the stairs step by step, in a trance for fear of accidents. Walking down the stairs along the escalator, I soon came to my grandmother, who was coming towards him.
Before grandma told Xiao Zhi the sad news, Xiao Zhi's mother angrily threw out a sentence from the debris pile: "This cat is definitely not needed."
Xiao Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of surprise and excitement. He forgot to laugh at the embarrassment of a serious mother and quickly said, "no, mom!" I want this cat. "
"You have the face to say! Because of you, the kitchen is a mess; Because of you, we didn't have breakfast; Because of you, I got up early in the morning and was angry about it. " Xiao Zhi's mother said that, and suddenly got up from the sundries. A carton full of milk was pushed away by her shoulders and rolled on the ground. The hair on her forehead was stained with white spider silk, and their filaments floated around in front of her eyes, which was disgusting.
"Meow meow ..." The kitten curled up in Xiao Zhi's mother's hand, and her voice was as intoxicating as last night, echoing in Xiao Zhi's simple and fragile heart, which made him feel more pity.
But Xiao Zhi's mother was completely unmoved. Her hand brushed the hair on her forehead, and her decisive and agile movements conveyed an anger, like a desperate man turning his head and releasing a vicious force, which seemed to indicate that a decision was about to be made.
Xiao Zhi's father hurriedly approached Xiao Zhi's mother, stroking the hair on her back with one hand and patting her black sleeve with the other, and some dust that had been silent for a long time was active in the air. Xiao Zhi's father said in a gentle tone, "Thank you! Finally caught this bastard. "
"Dad, mom, I beg you, don't send the kitten away. I just bought it yesterday. You see how pathetic! " Xiao Zhi pleaded.
"Is it poor? Give food and shelter, but also want to be proud? " Xiao Zhi's mother looked at the kitten disdainfully, and she could kill it with a pinch. "You little useless talk! It is because of you that you are in a hurry to go to school. "
"Yes, still repetitive? Hurry up and carry your schoolbag to school. " Xiao Zhi's father stared at him sternly, pointing to the door.
Xiao Zhi is holding a light blue schoolbag belt, and the Naruto mural printed on the cover has long lost its bright luster, but at this moment, it seems so precious in Xiao Zhi's tearful eyes. His chubby hand stroked the portraits of Naruto and Sasuke, and he felt particularly cordial with the people in the painting. His mouth was bulging, his mouth was raised, and he bowed his head and walked on the boulevard when he came home yesterday.
In the early morning, the leaves on the roadside are lush and full, as if they had been moistened by the aura of heaven and earth, constantly releasing fresh oxygen into the air. But this exciting air did not make Xiao Zhi realize that his heart was completely occupied by complex emotions. Only when he reached the bush where the kitten was saved yesterday, he stopped subconsciously, and the tragic scene of the kitten reappeared in his mind yesterday.
"alas!" Xiao Zhi sighed helplessly.
"What's the use? Still have to throw it on the street. Why are you so miserable? My lovely kitten. " Xiao Zhi shook his head and said to himself.
