Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 173 - 173 173 Lin

?Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Lin? Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Lin? Ermao had worn this pendant since he was very young, but he didn’t actually know much about it. He only had this one piece, given to him by his mother, while Wang Bin didn’t have one. Ermao only remembered one thing his mother had said, “Wearing it will bless you with ancestral protection.”

The problem was, all of Ermao’s grandparents from both sides were alive, and although he didn’t know his parents’ generation well, he knew them somewhat, and then there were people of his own generation. This era didn’t place much emphasis on clan affiliations, at least Ermao didn’t care about it, but not caring didn’t mean Ermao wasn’t curious and suspicious now.

When someone is idly troubled or is trying to distract themselves from their worries, even a slight twist can get them excited. Like Ermao at this moment.

Speaking of the Jiao family, Ermao had done some research and he shouldn’t have any blood relations with them. What baffled Ermao the most was why such a valuable item would be casually hung on a cat’s neck? Given his understanding of the Jiao family’s usual routines, nobody from the family would be home at this time, so it was highly likely that the cat had put on the pendant itself.

“Hey, Black Coal, where did you get this thing from?” Holding two almost identical jade tokens, Ermao pointed his finger at Zheng Tan, “Tell me who gave it to you. It might be a relative of mine, like those stories in books — a distant cousin with a spirited look, lost and alone out there, just waiting for me to come to the rescue!”

Zheng Tan: “…”

Zheng Tan recalled the old woman in the village, a wrinkled face, shabby look, lying on a recliner, and holding a cat. He then looked at Ermao’s hopeful expression. If he could speak, Ermao would definitely be crushed by the disappointment. Of course, even if he could speak, he wouldn’t reveal the truth to Ermao. What if this guy found out there was only a poor old lady and lost interest in going all the way to acknowledge kinship? Why keep this pendant for a year or two longer? Better to resolve the matter sooner and be at peace.

Ermao asked a series of questions, some of them directed at Zheng Tan, perhaps some to himself, confronted by such a significant matter, yet he didn’t feel like contacting his family now, leaving his doubts temporarily unanswered.

Zheng Tan didn’t know how to respond, scanned the room, and found a large backpack in the corner pressing down a map. Jumping off the table, Zheng Tan walked over to check. He lifted his paw to flip the unpressed edge of the map. One side was a map of the province, the other was a city map of Chuhua City. That was perfect.

Ermao stopped his monologue when he noticed where Zheng Tan was looking.

That map was one that Ermao bought when he first came to Chuhua City while wandering outside. At that time, Ermao bought this map mainly to visit some famous scenic spots in Chuhua City and also for noting bus stops, convenient for taking the bus. It had been quite some time since it had been used, just sitting there to place his backpack.
