my friend is a stray cat

Chenghui didn't see the wild dog that came to make trouble for a while, and there were no other intruders, but once in the early morning, he saw a hedgehog walking slowly along the bottom of the wall, This kind of little creature that poses no threat to the territory, Ah Ye always turns a blind eye, and rarely even kindly helps the hedgehog to pick up a piece of gravel on the road.

Since then, the homeless life has fallen into a rare and peaceful time. Cheng Hui will go to the back door of the restaurant to find food every day, and then follow Ah Ye to wander the territory. The rest of the time is sitting at the entrance of the alley and watching the buses come and go When he is in a good mood, he goes to dig beetles in the green belt, but Ah Ye rarely participates in these strange pastimes of his.

The only thing that made Cheng Hui feel a little worried these days was that the wound on Ah Ye's shoulder was not good at all. The wound was a little to the left of the middle of the shoulders. It was an oval scar, and the location was a bit tricky. Ah Ye had no choice. After licking, coupled with the hot weather, the wound began to fester and suppurate after being swollen for two days.

Douding originally planned to steal his own pet anti-inflammatory medicine to apply to Ah Ye, but he failed to steal it after several attempts. Instead, he was scolded by the owner for messing around at home, and he never saw him again after that I've been to the bottle of medicine, but I don't know where the owner put it.

Cheng Hui wanted to help Ah Ye lick and speed up his healing, but was rejected by the other party. Ah Ye said flatly that he was fine, and told Cheng Hui not to worry about it. Wary, he would rather have a wound than get too close to himself, and this kind of thing is hard to get rid of for a while, Cheng Hui can only think of other ways, such as often going to the trash can in the territory, hoping to find Medicines discarded by humans.

It was when Cheng Hui got into the trash can on the side of the road again and crawled out holding a cigarette butt, he saw the female cat squatting on the edge of the territory.

The hazel cihua cat also looked at Cheng Hui, Cheng Hui could read the fatigue from her hazel eyes, and when he moved his gaze down a little, he found that the cat had a big belly, Cheng Hui guessed that this A mother cat is pregnant with kittens and is about to give birth.

A kind of respect for the new life drove Cheng Hui to jump down the trash can, shake off the soot on his body, and walk towards the female cat. He stood in front of the female cat, and the floor tiles separated the two of them. The line happened to be the boundary line of Aye's territory.

"Excuse me... Where's Ah Ye?" The mother cat's voice was very gentle.

Cheng Hui was slightly surprised, "You recognize him?"

The mother cat nodded slowly, "Who among the stray cats around here would not recognize him."

"He..." Cheng Hui turned his head to look for A Ye's figure, and saw that the other party was walking not far away, with a slight limp in his front legs.

A Ye glanced at Cheng Hui, and Cheng Hui tactfully stepped back two steps to the side, and sat down quietly.

Ah Ye walked up to the female cat, who lowered her head towards him, but Ah Ye didn't ask anything, but said two words to her very slowly: "No."

The female cat raised her head, with disappointment that could not be concealed in her eyes.

"I only need ten days." The mother cat said, "I really have nowhere to go."

Ah Ye's voice was still so calm, "No."

The mother cat lowered her head and drooped her ears. She stopped pleading with Ah Ye, stood up with difficulty, and dragged her heavy body slowly away from the territory.

Ah Ye also turned around and walked back, jumped onto the roof with the best view, and sat down to watch the continuous traffic on the road in the distance, but the Chenghui Market walked in front of him without saying a word, just wandering in front of him, with the tip of its white tail Ah Ye didn't want to talk to her, but she was annoyed by the white flower, and finally asked, "Can't you calm down a little?"

Cheng Hui sat obliquely in front of him, staring at him.

Ah Ye let out a long breath and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"That female cat..." Cheng Hui cleared his throat, "What does she mean? Why did she come to you?"

"Didn't you see? She's pregnant with a cub."

"I can see it." Cheng Hui asked cautiously: "Ah...those, they can't be...yours, right?"

A Ye's eyelids drooped, and he said helplessly, "No! She wants to find a safe place to give birth."

"Is that so..." Cheng Hui asked again: "Then why didn't she go to the third block, didn't you say...there are many stray cats there?"

A Ye looked into the distance, "She is from the third block. Because there are many stray cats there, there are more disputes. The small cats are likely to die under the mouths of other cats and become victims of many battles. In short, it is actually the most unsafe place.”

"So you know her too." Cheng Hui said, "We met her once, why don't you want to help her?"

A Ye turned his head slightly and looked at Cheng Hui, "I don't like other cats appearing on the territory."

Cheng Hui pointed at himself with his paw, "But your principles have long been shattered."

"Are you really stupid or fake stupid?" Ah Ye said, "I keep you here because I think you can help me when I recover from my injuries. To put it bluntly, I am using you. And that female cat didn't take advantage of you." value."

"That's not necessarily the case." Cheng Hui shook his head, "Maybe after you help her, she and her cubs will appreciate your kindness, and maybe one day, under circumstances that you didn't expect, these kindnesses will come to you Use it, maybe it will save your life, maybe it will get you out of some kind of predicament."

After A Ye listened, she was silent for a long time, this silence made Cheng Hui a little restless, after the silence, A Ye took two steps forward to get closer to Cheng Hui, and asked him: "Are you in a hurry?" Plead for the cat cat?"

Cheng Hui subconsciously shrunk his neck back, "It's sort of."

"You really want to help her, right?" A Ye asked again.

Cheng Hui nodded and said honestly: "Yes."

"Okay, then go and help her." A Ye turned around and jumped off the roof, his voice came from a distance, "This kindness is for you, I want to see what it can bring."

Cheng Hui's eyes lit up after hearing this, he stood up, stood on the edge of the roof and looked at A Ye who had already gone away, he didn't dare to delay, he also jumped off the roof in two or three steps, trotted around to find it, and finally I found the female cat in the green belt in the distance. At that time, the female cat was digging the soil on the ground with her paws, and stopped panting after digging a few times.

She was startled when she saw Cheng Hui, and Cheng Hui waved her paws at her, and said, "Come on, go to the small alley and find a place that is leeward, Ah Ye won't chase you away."

The female cat blinked, half-believing, and Cheng Hui said persistently: "I understand him, come on, don't be afraid." After saying that, she ran back for two steps and then turned her head and said, "Follow up."

The mother cat hesitated for a moment, but in the end she still chose to believe in Chenghui, stepped out of the green belt, and followed him to a small alley in Aye's territory, and cautiously found the most inconspicuous corner to curl up in, and Chenghui brought a piece of foam in her mouth The board was given to her, and for the next two days, the mother cat has been curled up there, waiting for the birth of the cat in her womb, but Ah Ye has never appeared around that small alley.

One evening, when Chenghui stepped on Douding's head to dig through the trash can, Douding asked curiously and surprised: "I saw that there was an extra female cat in the alley, what's going on? Ah Ye didn't care. "

"That's the cat that came here to give birth." Cheng Hui's voice sounded muffled because his head was stuck in the trash can, "I will probably leave after the kitten is born safely. Ah Ye... Ah Ye agrees with her Come in."

"It's really rare." Douding said with emotion, "The old black cat has been living alone for so many years, but in less than a month, there are already two strange cats living in his territory."

"Ha..." Cheng Hui pushed his head out of the trash can, took a deep breath, "I'm suffocating."

"Did you find the medicine?" Douding asked.

Cheng Hui shook his head and jumped off Douding's head, "Still not."

"Then let's get another trash can, there's still in front," Douding said.

"Let's go." Cheng Hui walked towards another trash can with a bump.

Douding's pace was relatively slow, and he made a clicking sound as he walked. Cheng Hui raised his head to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Douding replied: "It's okay, I still think it's incredible that Aye let that female cat live here."

"Actually, he didn't agree to it at first, so I begged him for mercy." Cheng Hui said.

"I don't think your intercession may be effective. Ah Ye may still have his own thoughts." Douding said, "Maybe, he remembered something from a long time ago."

Cheng Hui asked: "What's the matter?"

"That's right..." Douding thought for a while, and then said: "A Ye's mother is also a very beautiful black cat. Like the black cat that lives here now, he also came here alone to give birth. A Ye originally had two brothers and a sister, eh? Sister or sister, I can’t remember. Maybe, A Ye will think of them when he sees this female cat, maybe this is the reason why he suddenly softened .”

"Oh?" Cheng Hui paused and asked, "Then... who did this territory belong to?"

"No one belongs to it." Douding said, "At that time, this place was very desolate, and the restaurant hadn't opened yet. A few stray cats fought here all day long. Guess who fought the hardest."

"A Ye's mother." Cheng Hui said.

Douding laughed and said, "That's right."

Cheng Hui continued to walk forward, asking as he walked, "Then...are they coming?"

"Later..." Douding paused in the middle of speaking, staring straight ahead, then ran over hop by hop, towards the other golden retriever in front, and yelled foolishly: "Yes!" Sister dog! Sister dog!"

Cheng Hui shook his head helplessly, and walked towards another trash can by himself, jumped onto the edge of the bucket, and fell into the bucket without standing still, making a "boom".

On that night, in Ah Ye's territory, three kittens were born safely.
