Zhang Zian's story made all the adults there listen with great interest. The staff slowed down the frequency of drinking water, not wanting to miss the details of the story. Little Celery was even more fascinated by it.
The reason was, of course, that the idea of the story itself was excellent. It was a fable about life, and it was known as a picture book that was loved by adults and children. It was a picture book that transcended its time. It described life, death, and love. Even if you read it a million times, you wouldn't get tired of it. Secondly, Zhang Zian replaced part of the story with the elfins in the pet shop, and made up a half-true, half-false background story for them. Little Celery was very familiar with them, and she immediately had a strong sense of immersion.
While Little Celery and the others were still mourning for the blue cat that was determined to save all stray cats, Zhang Zian continued to pull them into another story.
"It died, and then it came back to life. This time, it was also living in another era, in another country."
Everyone thought that he was going to use Snowy Lionet as the template to tell the story of the white cat, or Galaxy as the template to tell the story of the black and white kitten. After all, they were the only two special cats left in the shop, and Snowy Lionet was eager to try it out. It showed its teeth and claws, and strongly expressed that it wanted to appear on screen. Otherwise, it would make his crotch bleed.
Zhang Zian pretended not to see Snowy Lionet's clear indication. He turned to look at the other pet and said unexpectedly, "This time, it's the cat of an American film director. It has black and yellow spots on its body. It's not an expensive cat breed, but it's full of love for movies and acting."
In order to dispel Cai Meiwen's worries, Famous stayed on the upper floor of the stairwell, quietly lying on its stomach.
"Film performance is very hard, and because there are no stars in animal films, the budget is limited. It always needs the animals to personally challenge some difficult and dangerous actions, but the remuneration is far less than that of human actors. It acts tirelessly on the set, just to be able to see the smiling faces of children in front of the screen.
"Later, an accident happened during filming. It was seriously injured, and the injury was too serious to be treated. The film director buried it in the Hollywood Eternal Cemetery. In addition to its name, its epitaph on the tombstone read: An Actor. Although the epitaph only has four short words, it is the greatest compliment to it. "
Only then did Cai Meiwen notice the group photos hanging on the wall. They were photos of Famous with European film celebrities and Chinese film actors. It had even been received by the leaders of Binhai City. In the middle was a photo of Famous standing in the center of the stage and receiving an award.
Even if she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment news, she had heard that there was a famous actor in Binhai City. Could it be the German Shepherd that she considered dangerous? If that was the case, it would be too awkward …
In addition to the death scene and the fact that a dog was a cat, Little Celery and the employees looked at Famous with respect.
Little Celery's school had once organized a trip to the cinema to watch Dog Warrior. At the end of the movie, the boys, who were usually naughty, were excited. Several children were determined to enter military or police schools when they grew up to protect their country. The girls, on the other hand, shed tears for the injured police dogs.
Although the story had written itself as a dead person, Famous was not angry at all. It didn't feel unlucky at all. Instead, it felt that it was hard to find someone who understood it. If it died one day, such an epitaph would be enough.
Old Time Tea and Vladimir were also not angry. They both felt that Zhang Zian's fictional death scene was full of poetry and beauty. It was a worthy death.
Whether it was the top of the mountain or under the Russian national flower, the sunflower, it was an excellent place to bury one's bones.
Even Fina was not angry, because in the golden pyramid, it felt like it had died once.
"It died, and then it came back to life. This time, it also lived in another era, another country."
The million lives of the cat continued.
With the experience of the previous cat, everyone knew that the prototype of the protagonist in the story was not limited to the cats in the shop.
"This time, it is the cat of a Danish Internet celebrity. It is not so busy. Unlike other cats that hate water, as a Turkish Van cat, it naturally likes water. As long as it is at home, it is willing to soak in the bathtub all day."
The employees looked at each other. Which cat was this? Was it Snowy's Snowball? After all, Snowy was a very popular live Internet celebrity, but they had never heard that her Snowball liked to play with water.
On the second floor, Sihwa suddenly held her breath.
"It likes to sing, and it has a sweet voice that no one can match. It is said that when it sings, even the nearby fish will be attracted to it and listen to it. Although humans can't understand what it is singing, it is so unique that it has become a hot Internet celebrity cat on the Internet. It is even more famous than its owner. But what it liked the most was still water. Gradually, it was no longer satisfied with the narrow bathtub. The blue and boundless ocean filled its heart. It always sneaked to the seaside and played with the fish in the sea. "
Zhang Zian looked at the shutter door that was being hit by the rain. "One day, there was a storm in the sea. It was more fierce than today's typhoon. It was swept into the depths of the sea by the storm and never floated up again. Since then, on that day every year, its owner would come to the beach and throw mourning letters from netizens all over the world into the sea, asking the sea to pass on their grief. "
Little Celery hugged her mother tightly, as if she was afraid that she would be swept away by the terrible storm.
Cai Meiwen and the employees sighed. A good swimmer will drown in the water. In any case, the cat finally got what it wanted and threw itself into the arms of the sea forever.
Sihwa remembered that when she first appeared in this world, she almost froze to death in the Baltic Sea in winter. If she had died at that time, she would never have had the chance to become an Internet celebrity again.
"It died, and then it came back to life. This time, it was also living in another era, in another country."
Zhang Zian looked at Richard. This guy, who was usually noisy, was surprisingly quiet today.
"This time, it is the cat of an American zoologist. It has been living in the laboratory since it was born, cooperating with the zoologist through a series of experiments to explore the intelligence of animals."
The shop assistants didn't know about Richard's past. They thought that Richard was just an ordinary grey parrot. After all, grey parrots basically looked the same, but Richard's cleverness was obvious to all, although it always used its cleverness in crooked ways.
"Being an experimental subject meant that it had to cooperate with all kinds of weird testing methods that humans came up with. It was very smart. After all, it was a cat that had lived a million times. It always surprised the zoologist and his assistants in experiments, and they even felt that it was necessary to redefine the intelligence of cats. But in fact, it worked so hard because it liked the zoologist. It wanted to make the zoologist happy, so it kept tapping into its potential. "
"Then one day, maybe because it lived in the laboratory for a long time, its body's resistance to bacteria had decreased, and it got sick. It was a very serious disease, and even the best veterinarian couldn't cure it. It died, and the zoologist didn't leave it in the laboratory. Instead, he took it home and buried it in his yard. It could be with the zoologist forever. "
Everyone thought of the white mice in the laboratory and the beagle that became the subject of human drug tests. It was because of the existence of these animals that human medicine continued to advance and human life continued to extend. They exchanged their lives for the lives of humans. Of course, humans should pay tribute to these animals that dedicated themselves to science.
Except for the fact that birds were cats, there was almost no difference between this story and Richard's own experience. It was as if it was back in the laboratory, overcoming one difficulty after another with the doctor.
"It died, and then it came back to life again. This time, it was also living in another era, in another country."
Zhang Zian looked at Fa Ci, who was also lying on the stairwell, quietly looking at him.
"This time, it was the cat of an ancient European priest. It and the priest gave up their wealth and lived a very simple life. They often traveled through mountains and rivers with empty stomachs. In ancient times, when the plague was spreading, it and the priest risked being infected themselves to walk among the sick to serve them. They performed acrobatics for them and made them forget their pain. No matter how poor and difficult it was, it and the priest were always full of optimism, and they brought happiness to everyone they came into contact with. "
"Then one day, they encountered a landslide. Unfortunately, it was hit by a falling rock and died. The priest buried it in the church graveyard, so that it could listen to the sounds of nature from the choir every day and enjoy eternal joy and peace. "
Fa Ci squinted its eyes in satisfaction. For it, this was really the best ending.
Although Cai Meiwen and the staff were not religious, no matter what, what this cat did was no different from noble medical workers, and it deserved people's gratitude.
"It died, and then it came back to life again. This time, it was also living in another era, in another country."
Zhang Zian finally looked at Snowy Lionet, who had been impatient for a long time.
"This time, it was the cat of an ancient princess in China, and it lived in a royal garden all day long. The palace was as deep as the sea, and it was heavily guarded. Even if it wanted to leave, it couldn't. Besides, it had experienced so many hardships and hardships, and it should take a break. Its hair was so long that it reached the ground, and its color was whiter than snow. It was extremely loved by the princess and the palace maids, and they played with it every day without any worries. "
Obviously, compared to the previous cats, the original shape of this cat was definitely Snowy Lionet, and it was also the most attractive cat in the pet shop. Even the popular Ragdoll was overshadowed by it.
Cai Meiwen said that she didn't raise pets, but when she followed the gaze of the crowd and saw Snowy Lionet, her long-lost girl heart was also tempted. If there had not been a dispute just now, she really wanted to buy it home. After all, every woman had a princess dream.
Snowy Lionet listened to Zhang Zian's words and felt very happy. Living in a palace full of young girls, with the support of a princess, this was simply the life of a fairy!
"However, one day, the comfortable life suddenly ushered in the end. Unknowingly, the country had been invaded by foreign tribes, the imperial city fell, and people burned, killed, and looted everywhere. The barbarians only knew about gold, silver, and jewelry. They didn't know anything about music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and they didn't know how to appreciate beauty. It was separated from the princess, and it was killed by a ferocious-looking barbarian with a knife. The collapsed palace and ashes buried it. "
Snowy Lionet said, "Meow, meow, meow?"
The cat in this story was very ordinary. It had not done anything earth-shattering or moving, but it was true that it was ordinary. It was precisely because of its ordinariness that people paid more attention to the background of the era, and imagined the tragic historical picture of the country being destroyed.
"It died, and then it came back to life. This time, it also lived in another era, another country."
Before everyone could recover from the vicissitudes of history, the story of this cat continued to unfold.
Zhang Zian looked at the stairwell again, staring at Pi next to Famous, which could only be seen from his position.
"This time, it was a writer's cat. The writer was very homebody, and except for necessary activities, he hardly went out. This cat was also very homebody, so the two of them were a perfect match. "
This cat surprised the staff again. They exchanged glances and asked each other if Zhang Zian had found out that they were secretly writing novels.
"It watched the writer typing in front of the computer every day, and began to imitate him. It kept tapping on the keyboard with its claws, and finally, one day, it could type meaningful words and sentences. The writer bought it a separate computer, and it began to write hard. It wrote out all the one million lives and one million stories it had experienced. It wanted to share these stories with one million people. "
Pi's eyes became brighter and brighter. If it was that cat, it would have done the same.
"The writer read the stories it typed, and thought it was very interesting. He illustrated it, made it into a picture book, and sent it to the publishing house. It was successfully published, and the title of the book was The Cat that Lived A Million Times. The children who saw these picture books loved them very much, and they were always eagerly looking forward to the next one. "
"But, a million stories were too long. It wrote and wrote, from young to old, from youth to old age, from youth to old age, but it was still not finished. One day, the old cat fell asleep quietly in front of the keyboard, and never woke up. The writer buried it with the picture book that had already been published, so that it could always remember the one million lives. "
This story mixed reality and fiction together, making Little Celery almost breathless. Even Cai Meiwen and the staff couldn't tell which was reality and which was fiction for a moment.
"This story, this is the end?" Little Celery asked eagerly. She was deeply attracted by this story, just like those children who were looking forward to the next picture book, hoping that this story would never end.
Zhang Zian shook his head, and gave her a meaningful smile. "No, not yet. When it thought everything was over, it came back to life, in another era, in another country. "
He looked at the sea of stars again. "This time, it was an Austrian physicist's cat."
