Although there must be something wrong with this abnormal thing, he couldn’t understand anything that didn’t conform to logic even if he racked his head. If he had to come up with an explanation, it might be too far-fetched. So, he simply didn’t think about it.
Famous put forward a more reasonable possibility,””We may be close to Peter Lee’s lair. Maybe they have a cat, and the cat ran out on its own?”
Compared to a domestic cat running from outside the forest to the depths of the forest, this statement was much more reasonable.
Zhang Zian didn’t know how many fans Peter Lee had, and how many homeless people and people with unhappy lives had been deceived by Peter Lee’s lies. Some of them were likely to have brought cats. When he was shopping for breakfast in San Francisco, he had seen homeless people with dogs. They were obviously slovenly dressed, but they had cleaned their dogs very well and walked their dogs like a decent gentleman.
In fact, many of the vagrants in San Francisco used to be decent gentlemen. They became vagrants not because they were fired by the company because they were lazy, nor because they got involved in prostitution, gambling, and drugs and squandered all their property. It was only because they were divorced.
United States laws often provided comprehensive care for the disadvantageous party in a marriage as a stay-at-home woman. Even if the woman divorced because of her mistake or adultery, the man had to go out and pay a large amount of alimony every year until the woman remarried. If the woman refused to remarry, emmmm …
Therefore, many United States men were white-collar or even gold-collared workers living in high-end communities one day, and the next day, they might bring a few changes of underwear to sleep in motels because their wives filed for divorce.
The long process of filing a lawsuit made the man, who had to go to work every day, physically and mentally exhausted. He was laid off because he couldn’t complete the work assigned by his superiors.
After the divorce, the ex-wife would get the child, the house, most of the property, and alimony. If she still had any feelings for the good times in the past, she might leave the dog to her ex-husband.
The unemployed ex-husband went bankrupt because he couldn’t afford the alimony, and the man and dog wandered the world …
Of course, it was not a problem to change it to a cat.
It was normal for a homeless man to follow Peter Lee with his beloved cat.
As they continued to move forward, Zhang Zian told the elves about the suffering of United States men as a joke to relieve their boredom.
The Elfins were shocked. No wonder some tramps on the street looked so gentlemanly and waited patiently in line to get relief meals. They would even discuss some profound academic issues with each other while waiting in line. Maybe they used to be Wall Street executives or university professors.
Richard patted his head with his wings and sighed,””Kaka! Getting married is a mistake, and getting a divorce is an awareness. In order not to make a mistake, it’s better to be single, don’t you think?”
“My ass! I’m not getting married in United States! Let the United States men have a headache over this!” Zhang Zian waved his hand and drove it away from his shoulder.
Richard flapped its wings and flew to the top of the backpack, standing side by side with the spotted owl. Perhaps it was happy to see the tragic fate of others, so it hummed and sang.
“The White Dragon Horse with its hooves facing west. It carried me and followed my brothers. There were no roads on the west shore, and we traveled dozens of miles …”
“What black bear, coyote, night owl, Badger, vast forest, electric net, and fog? none of them can block my fiery eyes. I’ll escort you to the West …”
“White Dragon Horse, the bell on my neck is urgent, jolting me. Trotting brothers, it’s not easy to walk on the West Coast, it’s easy to achieve great achievements …”
“What do you mean by ‘the enemy is vicious and the elves are magical’,’ 81 obstacles and 72 changes to defeat the enemy’…”
“Idiot, you’ve been working together with us all this time. Evil can’t beat justice!”
Although it was always blowing its own trumpet, Pi was waving a stick in front of it, so the song was quite fitting. If it hadn’t added the last sentence,”let’s go,” Zhang Zian wouldn’t have hit it with his walking stick.
The weather was good, and with Richard’s nonsensical improvisational performance, everyone temporarily put their previous problems to the back of their minds. Although the road was rugged, it was not boring.
Famous was walking in the front, grinning from time to time at the laughter behind it. However, it was getting more and more confused, because it smelled more than one cat. If the first cat’s scent was a coincidence, then how could the other cats ‘scents be explained? How many cats did the roamers bring in?
It didn’t want to disappoint everyone, so it didn’t say anything. But looking at fina and old time tea’s expressions, they seemed to have noticed the problem as well, but they were silent for the same reason.
A day passed by quickly.
They were walking along the stream, but they would occasionally deviate from it. After making a few turns, they saw the stream again, but they were not sure if it was the same stream.
In the evening, they set up camp by the stream as usual.
This time, Zhang Zian paid more attention to the deer. It did become a little nervous after drinking the water from the stream, and it looked up in the direction of the upstream.
It seemed that there were still fierce beasts like coyotes nearby. Maybe it was the group from yesterday, maybe it wasn ‘t. No one knew.
Famous also wanted to taste the stream and judge the taste of the beasts, but Zian refused because it was not necessary. God knew what dirty animals had waded through the stream. It would not be worth it if it caused diarrhea or infected with parasites after drinking it.
They had already encountered the most dangerous black bears and coyotes in the mahogany forest, so what else could there be?
After setting up the tent, he spent more time collecting dead branches to use as firewood. He had to make sure that the bonfire would not go out tonight.
Famous and Pi also took the initiative to help him. They helped him pick up some dead branches. Although the total amount was not much, it was still a kind gesture from them, which was better than the idle guys next to him.
After gathering enough firewood to burn until the next morning, they went on to get water, clean water, start a fire, boil water, and cook. Everything was no different from the previous few days.
After dinner, he and the Elfins were not tired because they had woken up late this morning. They sat around the bonfire and talked about things, mainly about family matters.
Home, of course, referred to the Pet Shop.
It had been almost half a month since he left the Pet Shop. It didn’t sound like a long time, but a lot of things had happened during this time, so it felt very long.
This time, unlike in the Egypt desert where Peter Lee provided a satellite phone to keep in touch with his family, after entering the depths of the forest, communication was almost always cut off. The only chance to make a phone call was to call 911.
What’s the situation at home?
