Lesbian cat…
Zhang Zian was speechless when he saw the name.
He did some research.
This cat's experience was in fact quite sad. At first, Pan Jinlian took it as the most precious thing. It was very smart and quickly learned how to pick up things with its mouth. It always slept in her arms. Soon enough, Pan Jinlian started to train it to attack her husband's other wives. Snowy Snitch only ate fresh pork, so Pan Jinlian wrapped fresh pork inside red silk and train it to attack and bite. Her husband, Xi Menqing, had only one son, Guan Ge'er, who loved to wear red clothing.
When Snowy Snitch was trained well, Pan Jinlian secretly put it in the bedroom of Guan Ge'er. Seeing Guan Ge'er in red clothing, Snowy Snitch instinctively thought it was a piece of fresh meat, so it attacked and bit him. Guan Ge'er was scared to death, literally. Xi Menqing was so pissed that he grabbed Snowy Snitch and threw it at the stone stairs. Snowy Snitch died immediately.
Zhang Zian understood now. It was all about animal's trained reflexes.
He also understood why this cat was so sick of men, why it liked to train other cats to steal, and why it was grumpy all the time. Its story was a heart-breaking one.
At first, he was curious about how there was a dark line on a snowy white cat. Now, he understood that it was an imaginative cat from a novel. Millions of readers' imaginations turned it into an elfin.
Pan Jinlian wasn't the first one to use an animal's trained reflexes to commit crime. More than 2000 years ago, Tu Anjia from Jin Guo practiced the same thing to train a dog to kill Zhao Dun. 300 years after Jin Ping Mei was published, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also had similar stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Both Tu Anjia and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle chose to write about training dogs for crimes because dogs are easy to train. Pan Jinlian was probably the first ever to write about cats committing crimes. Therefore, it wasn't surprising to have Snowy Snitch become an elfin.
”Galaxy, I will put you back to my cellphone if someone comes. I will release you when we get home,” He said to Galaxy, ”You did me a great favor today. We wouldn't have found this place without your help.”
Galaxy was excited about getting praised. It raised its head happily and said ”Sure, Zian.”
Zhang Zian put Galaxy back in the cell phone, and left the storage room with Fina and the invisible Old Time Tea. He walked back up to the lobby from the stairs when Captain Sheng came in from outside.
Seeing that Zhang Zian didn't take the elevator but walked up the stairs, Captain Sheng was surprised but he didn't ask. He gave Zhang Zian a homemade lunch box. ”Mr. Zhang, Thanks for working with us. Come have some lunch. It is all homemade food. I hope you like it.”
”Wow, great!” Zhang Zian took over the lunch box. The clock in the lobby showed it was already noon. Zhang Zian immediately felt hungry.
Captain Sheng gave him a pair of disposable chopsticks. ”Sit down and eat.”
”Captain Sheng, did you eat?” Although it was quite obvious, Zhang Zian still asked politely.
Captain Sheng patted his belly, ”Of course. My wife just finished cooking when I got home. She complained that I had to work on a weekend, but at least she still cooked for me.”
