The weather was good, and the warm sun made people sleepy.
Vladimir and Little White were lying on the wall inconspicuously. Even if someone noticed them occasionally, they would think of them as stray cats basking in the sun.
Little White saw that Vladimir was not in good spirits, so it gestured to ask if it wanted to call other stray cats to monitor the place and let Vladimir go back to sleep first.
Vladimir shook its head. "It's boring to come all the way here and return empty-handed. Besides, the other cats are working hard too. In the face of liberation, all cats are equal. I can't give them special privileges. It's better to let them rest well. If you're tired, you can go back and rest first. "
Little White expressed that it was not tired and was willing to stay.
Vladimir hadn't seen it with its own eyes, but it had heard that when Zhang Zian first opened the pet shop, business was so bad that not many people came to the door all day long, let alone make a business.
However, after observing from the top of the wall for about half an hour, the shop named Back to the Old Days seemed to be doing even worse business. Even if it was out of curiosity, not a single customer entered the shop.
It was a little impatient. Wasting time was equivalent to killing lives. It decided that it couldn't wait like this anymore. It had to find a way to push things forward.
While it was thinking, its ears moved. It heard the crisp sound of high heels coming from the end of the alley. It was a little far away. Humans might not be able to hear it clearly, but cats' hearing was more sensitive.
It looked sideways and saw the figures of two young women walking along the alley.
Like most fashionable women, they were also carrying big and small bags. They were carrying several branded bags in their hands, as if they had just come from shopping. They obviously didn't have extra hands to carry the bags, but they still looked like they wanted to continue shopping.
The most important thing was that Vladimir had seen one of them. It was the woman in the neighborhood that Zhang Zian had taken it to before. She was full of the aura of a small bourgeois. Her name seemed to be … Zhao Qi?
As for the girl next to her, she seemed to be quite close to Zhao Qi. She was probably her friend.
The two of them chattered as if there was no one else around them. They talked about how they had gone shopping before the change of season — which pair of shoes they had gotten a great deal, which new skirt was too expensive, and they would wait until their chopped off hands grew back next month to buy it again. The weather hadn't really gotten hot yet anyway.
The alley was originally quite quiet, but because of their appearance, it became a little more noisy.
Their topics changed rapidly. A moment ago, they were talking about clothes, and the next moment, they were discussing which hairdressing shop to go to, and which restaurant to go to for a meal. They gradually got closer to this place.
Vladimir had always looked down on such little bourgeois girls, who had nothing of the hard work and plain living of the working people, but they had come at the right time, and perhaps he could try to get them to come into the shop.
It asked Little White to stay put. When Zhao Qi and the others got closer, it suddenly jumped down from the wall and ran to Zhao Qi.
Ever since Shi 'shi started dating, Zhao Qi hadn't gone shopping with her for a long time. She had often scolded her for prioritizing her lover over her friends. Today, they finally had the chance to relive the good old days, so of course, they had to go home happily.
"Ah! Cat! "
Shi Shi saw Vladimir first and pointed at him for Zhao Qi to see.
Zhao Qi stopped talking and glanced at it. Then she took off her sunglasses and looked at it carefully, because she found that the cat looked familiar.
Where have I seen it before?
She couldn't remember for a moment, but she noticed the obvious disdain in the blue cat's eyes, and her heart was once again stabbed!
"This is Zhang Zian's cat! Why did it come here? "
She said. She was just talking to herself, and she didn't expect Shi Shi to answer.
"Zhang Zian?" Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. She answered dispiritedly, "Oh, you mean that pet shop owner …"
"It's so far away, how did it come here? Ran away from home? " Zhao Qi guessed. "Maybe Zhang Zian was too stingy and didn't want to feed it canned cat food. It couldn't take it anymore, so it ran out to pursue a new life!"
Vladimir stared at her speechlessly, thinking that the little bourgeois liked to measure others by their own standards.
It waved in front of them, turned around, and ran to the side of the shop. It didn't enter the shop, but jumped onto the eaves, and stretched out a front paw to hook at them, as if beckoning them over.
"Hee hee! This cat can even wave! "Shi Shi laughed.
"What's so strange about that? Zhang Zian's cats are all quite strange." Zhao Qi expressed her disdain for her best friend's lack of knowledge. When she looked at Vladimir again, it had already run away.
"This shop's name is so strange. What does it do?"
Just as Zhao Qi was hesitating about whether or not to inform Zhang Zian that his cat had come here, Shi Shi suddenly pointed at the signboard and asked.
"Back to the Old Days?"
Zhao Qi recited the shop's name. She couldn't figure out what the shop was doing.
"Since we have nothing to do, let's go in and take a look?" Shi Shi pulled her arm and encouraged her.
Zhao Qi was carrying a lot of things, and she was a little tired from walking. She wanted to find a beauty salon to get her hair done and rest at the same time. She didn't want to complicate matters, but she really couldn't dissuade Shi Shi. It was rare for Shi Shi to go shopping with her, and she didn't want to spoil the mood, so she reluctantly let Shi Shi pull her in.
As soon as she took a step, she suddenly felt that this scene had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if it had happened sometime in the past. It was also a sudden impulse to walk into a shop that she hadn't intended to enter.
But when she thought about it, she couldn't remember when or which shop it was. Before she could continue thinking, she felt her vision go black, and she was pulled into the shop by Shi Shi.
"Wow! What is this? That scared me! "
As soon as Shi Shi entered the door, she saw a hideous bird mask with bird feathers all around, painted in red and white, hanging on the wall.
It was bright outside, and it was dark inside. Their eyes hadn't adapted to the light yet, so when they first saw it, they thought it was some kind of monster.
Because she often traveled abroad, Zhao Qi was more knowledgeable than Shi Shi. After looking at it for a while, she said, "This looks like an Aztec mask. I've seen something similar before."
After being scared, Shi Shi's interest was greatly reduced. She frowned and looked at the various strange items around them. She pulled Zhao Qi and whispered, "Qi Qi, why don't we go? It's very dark here, and even the lights aren't turned on. It feels weird. Is there a bloody murderer living here? "
Zhao Qi was so angry that she pinched her. "You were the one who wanted to come in, and now you're the one who wants to leave. Are you playing with me?"
Shi Shi was in so much pain that she sucked in a breath of cold air.
But Shi Shi was right about one thing. Zhao Qi also had a similar feeling, as if she was being stared at by something around her. She felt creepy … And where was the owner of the shop?
