Vladimir did not participate in the fierce battle between the three cats and Liu Yonghui. Instead, it watched from the side. This made Zhang Zian feel relieved, because he knew that Liu Yonghui would not be able to withstand a punch of its power of faith. It would probably be able to turn him into a satellite.
When Liu Yonghui could not take it anymore and ran away, the three stray cats celebrated their victory. Vladimir, however, was not happy. It walked over solemnly and gathered them together. It summarized the success and failure of the battle, especially criticizing the bearded stray cat's reckless actions. It had made the mistake of adventurism and opportunism. If Liu Yonghui's right wrist had not been injured, it was very likely that he would have grabbed the bearded stray cat and thrown it to the ground.
The three stray cats listened attentively and respectfully.
Liu Wenying worriedly pulled Zhang Zian back a few steps and whispered, "These cats are so fierce. They can't be … crazy cats, right? Let's not get too close. Be careful of them scratching us again … "
Zhang Zian did not admit the relationship between him and Vladimir. Instead, he comforted her. "Don't worry. They don't look like crazy cats. It could be that A Hui usually bullies the cats too much, causing the stray cats to resist."
Liu Wenying had always been very convinced of Zhang Zian's knowledge of pets. After hearing that, she dispelled most of her doubts.
At this time, the little white cat had resolved the crisis. It meowed and walked into the grass at the side. It lowered its head and arched around.
Zhang Zian walked over and pushed aside the grass. He saw an adult white female cat lying in the grass. Its body was stained with blood. It had been dead for a long time.
The little white cat licked and pulled at the female cat. It kept whimpering, but the female cat did not move. Its body gradually turned cold.
Zhang Zian saw that there was a dent on the female cat's back. Its body was twisted in an abnormal direction. It was obvious that Liu Yonghui's metal bat had hit its spine, causing it to die on the spot.
"What a sin! And it's a cat with a kitten … "
Liu Wenying also came over. When she saw this scene, she could not help but turn her head away. As a mother, she could not bear to see her own flesh and blood being separated. The trace of sympathy that she had for Liu Yonghui suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, this little white cat was basically weaned. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for it to survive outside.
Vladimir and the three stray cats heard the whine of the little white cat and came over to see this tragic scene. It gritted its teeth, and its golden-rimmed green eyes were burning with green flames.
It took the lead and squatted down next to the body of the mother cat. The other three cats also followed suit and squatted down, lowering their heads as if they were mourning.
"Sacrifice for the sake of ambition, dare to change the sun and moon to a new day!"
Vladimir enunciated each word as he placed a front paw on the body of the female cat and closed its half-closed eyes.
The other three cats seemed to have gained infinite strength from its words. They raised their heads, and their eyes were full of grief and indignation. Even Zhang Zian's heart trembled.
"We can't just leave the body here. It's contagious. I'll go get something to pack it up and find a place to bury it," Liu Wenying sighed.
"There should be a plastic storage box in my car."
Zhang Zian took a few quick steps and took out an empty storage box of suitable size from the trunk of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV. Then, he and Liu Wenying put the body of the female cat inside and closed the lid.
His original intention was for him to bury it, but Liu Wenying insisted that she bury it. The reason was that she wanted to bury it next to Fluffy's grave so that it could be with Fluffy.
Zhang Zian agreed and handed the storage box to her.
"I'll put it back upstairs first and bury it after lunch. Yue Yue might be hungry. There are a few ice packs in the fridge that can cool it down," she said in a low voice.
"Then take care. I have to go back to the pet shop," he said.
"Be careful on the road," Liu Wenying nodded and reminded him.
She walked for a distance with the storage box in her arms. She heard a sound behind her and looked back. It was the little white cat that was reluctant to see its mother leave. It was following her step by step, but it didn't dare to get too close.
Seeing that she had stopped, the little white cat took a few steps back. Coincidentally, the dried fish that Liu Yonghui had thrown away were scattered on the ground. It walked over and sniffed it. Ignoring the dust on the dried fish, it lowered its head and wolfed it down.
"Poor child, it must be hungry …" Liu Wenying squatted down and picked up the remaining dried fish. She wiped off the dust and placed it in her palm. "Come and eat."
The little white cat didn't dare to approach at first, but maybe it was too hungry, or maybe Liu Wenying had gotten the smell of the female cat when she was cleaning up the body of the female cat. After a while, it hesitantly approached and licked the dried fish from Liu Wenying's palm. It chewed and swallowed.
There were only a few pieces of dried fish. It couldn't fill its stomach at all. After it finished eating, it even licked Liu Wenying's palm clean.
Liu Wenying hesitated for a moment and muttered to herself, "There seems to be a lot of cat food left at home. It would be a pity to waste it …"
She stood up and walked a few steps towards the door of the unit. When she turned around, she found that it was following her again, even closer than before.
If she stopped, it would stop. If she walked, it would follow.
"It can't be helped if it follows me. This is a public place. Anyone can walk in," she said to herself as if she was trying to convince herself.
Then, without looking back, she walked into the unit door and pressed the elevator button.
The elevator door opened, and she walked into the elevator, disappearing from Zhang Zian and Vladimir's sight.
However, the elevator door didn't close for a long time. It was past the time when it should have closed automatically. It was as if someone inside was pressing the button to prevent the door from closing.
The little white cat followed her to the elevator. It hesitated for a few seconds, then looked back at Zhang Zian and Vladimir. Finally, it carefully walked into the elevator.
The elevator door closed.
"She's a good person," Vladimir commented.
"There are still many good people in the world," Zhang Zian echoed.
Vladimir looked up at him. "But there are also many reactionaries."
"Well …" Zhang Zian wanted to explain.
Vladimir interrupted him. "Good people are often the silent majority. Although there are only a small group of reactionaries, they are like a few pieces of mouse poop that spoil a pot of soup!"
Zhang Zian was speechless, because what it said was completely correct. Especially the phrase "silent majority." This phrase was too accurate.
Everyone knew that cat abuse was wrong. Posts on forums everywhere were always filled with righteous indignation when it came to cat abuse. However, when cat abuse actually happened in front of them, and it was carried out by a strong man like Liu Yonghui, how many good people could muster up the courage to step forward and stop it?
Even Liu Wenying, who had been evaluated as a "good person," didn't stop Liu Yonghui on the spot.
"She's doing what she can. She's a middle-aged woman who's nearly forty years old. Even if she's acting bravely, she has to protect herself first," he defended Liu Wenying.
Vladimir didn't say any more harsh words. Instead, it recited, "When the Nazis came to arrest the Communists, I remained silent, because I wasn't a Communist. When they came to arrest the Jews, I remained silent, because I wasn't a Jew. When they came to arrest the trade unionists, I remained silent, because I wasn't a trade unionist. When they came to arrest the Catholics, I remained silent, because I was a Protestant. When they came to arrest me, there was no one left to speak for me."
This was a passage in front of the Jewish Memorial in Boston. It was widely circulated, and Zhang Zian had also heard of it. It was quite appropriate for Vladimir to quote it here.
Cat abusers were all psychologically twisted. They abused cats today, and they might commit crimes against humans tomorrow.
If most good people remained silent and watched the cat abuse incident today, they might taste the bitter fruits of their own actions tomorrow.
Vladimir said, "Based on my observations these past few days, I've made the following judgment: It's no longer possible to expect humans to reflect on their own mistakes and carry out gentle changes from top to bottom. If the stray cats want to save themselves, they can only take more drastic measures and carry out fundamental changes from bottom to top!"
Zhang Zian was stunned. He didn't understand what fundamental changes it was referring to.
Vladimir waved its paw behind it and called the three stray cats over. It introduced them to him. "They will be the contact points stationed in this neighborhood from now on."
"Contact points? Contact what? "He was even more confused.
"The reason stray cats are bullied is that stray cats were always scattered before, and they even fought among themselves. That's why I want to unite all the stray cats," Vladimir said seriously.
Each cat had four toes on each paw. It stretched out one paw and used the other paw to block one of the former's toes, revealing only three of its toes.
"Wherever there are three stray cats, a Meow Meow Branch will be established!" it announced.
It put down one paw and pointed at the gray cat. "It has a calm personality and is suitable to be the branch head."
It then pointed at the calico cat. "It has a higher ideological awareness and is suitable to be the branch secretary."
Finally, it pointed at the bearded stray cat. "It's too young and impulsive. It lacks the experience and training to fight, so it can only be a member of the branch and accept the leadership of the other two cats."
The three stray cats raised their heads and accepted its assignment. The bearded stray cat seemed a little unconvinced, as if it was holding back its energy and was eager to show off.
Zhang Zian was speechless. You really know how to play!
After Vladimir finished assigning tasks, it waved its fists and said excitedly, "Every Meow Meow Branch is a contact point. The point connects to the line, and the line leads to the area! The countryside surrounds the city, and the four sides surround the center! In the end, it forms an inescapable net, causing the Holy Cat statue and the cat abusers to fall into the sea of cat people war! "
"Meow Meow!"
"Meow Meow!"
"Meow Meow!"
The three stray cats all followed it and cried out excitedly.
Finally, Vladimir's gold-rimmed green eyes lit up with green flames of anger. With an aura that seemed to want to burn everything, it said, "I believe that the Meow Meow Fire can burn the prairie!"
