Chapter 444 Boarder (first update)
The attention of all three people was attracted by "Kobe", and of course this "Kobe" was not the playing Kobe, but a black cat.
It is the cat of Marcella's neighbor Mrs. Williams. She usually keeps it at home, but today it somehow slipped out of the attic window and jumped onto a tall albizia tree.
Although cats can climb trees, many unskilled domestic cats often go up trees but never come down. In the end, they can only cower on the tree branches in fear and cannot go anywhere.
Therefore, there are often news in the news about fire brigade setting up ladders to rescue cats. For the fire brigade, in addition to fighting fires and rescuing people, rescuing cats is often one of their main businesses.
Old Mrs. Williams gets up early every day to feed her cats. Today she found that "Kobe" was missing. After searching for a while, she saw that the attic window was squeezed open, and then she realized that her little black cat jumped up a tree and couldn't get down.
.
The old lady had been living alone at home as a widow for many years and had several cats to keep her company. Among them, "Kobe" was her favorite one. When she saw "Kobe" on the branch of a tree, he was in danger of falling at any time, so the old lady naturally screamed out loud.
.
Marcella walked out of the yard, came under the tree, looked at the little black cat trapped in the tree, and shouted to Mrs. Williams: "Stop calling Madam, it would have come down long ago. Call 911."
, and then pray that your Kobe Bryant won’t fall and die before the firefighters come.”
Old Mrs. Williams spat at Marcella, "If you were a gentleman, you should help me rescue Kobe, or call me! Instead of making sarcastic remarks downstairs!"
Marcella said: "I can call the fire brigade for you, but you have to pay for it yourself, Mrs. Williams."
The fire brigade in the United States is not free. The fee for a police call ranges from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Old Mrs. Williams lives alone and has long lost contact with her children. She relies on some inheritance left by her husband and a meager retirement salary to survive.
She has a lot of cats and her financial situation is not very good. She is even more strapped for money recently. Thinking about calling the fire department and adding a lot of expenses, it is really painful for her.
This expenditure may be enough for her to buy a new cat.
But for cat owners, it is difficult to value their cats in terms of money.
"Marcella, do you have a ladder at home? Lend it to me. I want to climb the tree myself and rescue Kobe!"
The old lady still didn't want to spend money to call the fire brigade, so she wanted to borrow a ladder from Marcella to save the cat.
The relationship between Marcella and this neighbor's old lady has always been bad. The old lady has been widowed for many years and has a weird temper. She once hit the crows in the sky with an air gun because she thought they were too noisy. As a result, the glass of Marcella's house was broken and the horse was killed.
Chela was so angry.
I came to the house and argued with the old lady, asking her to pay for it, but the old lady refused to admit it. This created a problem, and many conflicts occurred in daily life.
Marcella was already angry early this morning, but he felt happy when he saw the Williams family's annoying cat climbing up the tree and unable to climb down.
"Ladder? Forget it, Mrs. Williams, it's a trivial matter if the cat goes up and down, but it's a big problem if you go up and down." Marcella said sarcastically.
"Stop gossiping here, Mr. Marcella, you'd better cultivate your moral character, otherwise your children will not respect you." Old Mrs. Williams said meaningfully.
Marcella's face turned red with anger, and she said angrily: "Yes, yes, you must be the Virgin Mary with perfect virtues. Mother Teresa, your children really respect and filially respect you, and bought you so many
The cat accompanies you! Oh my God, what kind of stupid cat is this? Why can’t it even climb a tree..."
Just as the two old neighbors were choking each other, Lu Yuan stood under the tree and looked up. He put down his schoolbag, stretched his body, pulled his legs and arms, took off his shoes and socks, and took a deep breath.
Hug the trunk and start climbing up.
"Hey! Lu Yuan! What are you doing! Be careful and come down!"
Ada saw Lu Yuan's bare feet on the tree and shouted to him quickly, but Lu Yuan couldn't understand him at all.
And within a few moments, Lu Yuan had already climbed onto the branch of the tree holding the trunk. His skills were extremely agile, like a skinny monkey.
Marcella looked up at Lu Yuan and murmured: "Chinese Kung Fu Boy?"
Mrs. Williams in the attic covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Be careful, be careful! Kobe! Kobe, don't move, Kobe!"
Lu Yuan slowly approached the black cat named Kobe. The cat stared at his big black eyes and called "meow" at Lu Yuan, but he lay on the branch obediently and did not move.
Apparently he was also frightened. Out of curiosity, he ran out of the attic and climbed onto a tree branch. However, lacking experience in survival in the wild, he could only lie motionless in the face of the danger of falling.
He seemed to know that the boy was here to save him. When Lu Yuan reached out and gently stroked its head, it meowed twice again obediently.
Then, Lu Yuan locked the tree branch tightly with his legs, pinched the back of the kitten's neck with one hand, slowly lifted it up, and put it into his arms.
"Be careful Lu! How did you get down like this!"
Ada was frightened when she saw it below. Why is this guy so brave?
If he climbed up a tree to catch a cat with his bare hands and feet and fell down, Ada would really not be able to explain it to the team and manager Smart.
Now Lu Yuan has caught the cat, but how can he get down like this?
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan grabbed the cat with one hand and the tree branch with the other. He leaned down very flexibly, then stepped on the rough bark with his feet, and jumped down from the tree in a few clicks!
The kitten in his hand was firmly grasped by him, nothing happened, and it returned to the ground safely.
Mrs. Williams, who was in the attic, had already come down from upstairs and hurried to the yard. When she saw "Kobe" who was safe and sound, her hanging heart was finally relieved.
"Kobe! Kobe! God, my little darling, you can't run around anymore next time. Don't run around anymore, okay? Thank you, kid, thank you so much. But it's really too dangerous for you to do this.
You should also pay attention to your own safety. Ada, is this a relative of yours? Or a friend? "
Mrs. Williams was quite polite to Ada, because Ada always had a good temper and would give Mrs. Williams some gifts and food during holidays.
Ada said: "No, he came from China for exchange and study, and he wants to stay at my house."
Marcella hurriedly said: "No! It's impossible! I can't let him live in my house. You all didn't get the consent of me, the head of the family! I won't allow such a thing to happen."
Mrs. Williams hugged Kobe, looked at Marcella with contempt, and muttered: "Incompetent tyrant."
She then said to Ada: "Ada, if your father doesn't agree with this young man living in your house, then let him live with me. I have many rooms here! If he doesn't dislike me as an old lady,
words!"
Ada didn't expect that Mrs. Williams would lend a helping hand, but the old lady might not even be able to take care of herself well. How could she take care of a Chinese who didn't understand the language?
It was really a headache. Ada even thought that Mr. Smart should take the child back. Anyway, he lived alone in an apartment and had no problem with language and culture.
She asked Lu Yuan's opinion, "Would you like to live with Mrs. Williams?"
With half words and half gestures, Lu Yuan understood. He felt it didn't matter, it was fine, so he nodded.
At this time, Mrs. Williams took out a five-dollar bill from her pocket, handed it to Lu Yuan, and said: "Young man, this is your reward. Thank you for saving my cat. From now on, if you live in my house, I won't
I’ll take your money, but you’ll be responsible for taking care of my cat, do you think that’s okay?”
Lu Yuan seemed to understand, but when he saw the five dollars handed over by Mrs. Williams, his whole body lit up!
I quickly took over 5 yuan, 5 US dollars, more than 30 yuan.
"OK! OK!" It's OK immediately. Do you understand what the person said? You're OK.
Therefore, Lu Yuan's accommodation problem was solved and he stayed at Mrs. Williams' house and began his trip to the United States.
Chapter completed!
