Chapter 33 Section 2 Old Cat

A People's Liberation Army team that walked out of Wenchuan and rushed to towns and villages found the dying old man and cat lying on the side of the road, and they carried the old man onto a stretcher.The old man woke up suddenly on the stretcher. When she saw the People's Liberation Army in front of her, a kind of kindness and a kind of hope welled up in her heart. Finally, she couldn't restrain her emotions. Two lines of old tears rolled down, washing the dust off her face. There are two ditch.The old man made a hoarse voice: "Bring the cat up, I'm going to Wenchuan, I'm going to Wenchuan!!"

The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army who carried the stretcher were stunned and at a loss. They had never encountered such a situation in their rescue operations.They did not expect that the relationship between humans and animals can reach this level!In fact, before the earthquake, the old man had the habit of taking a lunch break. She rested at 2:00 noon every day, got up after 3:00, and took a lunch break of about an hour. At noon on May 12th, when the old man was falling asleep, the Persian cat jumped onto her bed and yelled "Mom, Mom" ​​next to her ear, while scratching the old man's shoulders with its paws.The old man has raised this Persian cat for seven years. According to the age of the cat, it is also an old cat.The old cat knows the living habits of the old man, and also knows her sleep time.Every day when she takes a lunch break, the old cat also takes a lunch break.The old cat always lay next to her head, and sometimes shared a pillow with her, squinting his eyes and being very quiet.Whenever she wakes up from her lunch break, she always pats the old cat, and the old cat stretches, yawns, then gets up and jumps under the bed.She has never encountered such a weird phenomenon since raising cats.

At noon on May 12th, the people in the small town were in a restless mood, because many dogs in the small town kept barking, some dogs ran wildly on the street, some scratched the door desperately, and some even bit their owners' hands. Clothes were pulled outside the house, and bitches carried their newborn cubs to the open space.Human's faithful friend, dog, behaved the most weirdly before the earthquake, and cats raised by many families also behaved extremely abnormally.The abnormal behavior of the animals made the residents of the town uneasy.It's a pity that all these abnormal phenomena did not arouse everyone's vigilance, and some people who noticed it were ridiculed by everyone as nervous.All the weird phenomena in the small town were ignored by people who were used to a peaceful life, lacked earthquake knowledge and were careless.

The old man got up in doubt, scolded the damn cat for not letting her sleep well, and came to the door, wanting to open the door to see if anyone was coming.Usually whenever someone comes, Persian cats always have to behave.If an acquaintance comes, it rolls on the ground to show welcome. If an unfamiliar person comes, the Persian cat will rub against the old man's leg when it hears the unfamiliar footsteps, which means to let her prepare in advance, someone is coming.The moment a stranger enters the house, the Persian cat will hide, observe the stranger's performance, and then come out to express "opinions".The old man thought maybe there was a stranger coming, and he didn't hear it when he was sleeping.At this moment, a strong earthquake struck, and a large lampshade fell from above the bed where the old man was sleeping, and hit the old man's head while he was sleeping.If she was still on the bed, the consequences would be disastrous. Only then did she understand why the Persian cat woke her up so anxiously. It turned out that it had a premonition.

When the old man was arguing with the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army whether to carry the cat together, someone among the fleeing crowd felt strange and walked over. It happened that this person knew the old man and was the neighbor of the old man's daughter.The old man also recognized her. When the old man occasionally lived in Wenchuan's daughter's house, this person had been to her daughter's house.The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with trembling lips, "Where is my daughter?" The daughter's neighbor was taken aback for a moment and said, "You should let the People's Liberation Army carry it away. Your daughter's family has gone to Chengdu."

The old man's eyes closed tiredly, her head tilted, and she fell asleep, two lines of muddy tears dripping down.My daughter's neighbor walked over and whispered something into the ear of the PLA soldier who was carrying the stretcher.The PLA soldiers nodded, put the Persian cat on the stretcher, and carried the old man and the Persian cat forward. The troops sent the old man and the Persian cat to the Chengdu Rescue Center. The old man is too old, and it is very inconvenient to go out of the house and live outside.The rescuer asked: "Grandma, where are your relatives?" The old man said, "Did you see them? Where are they? Tell me."

The rescuer asked: "Grandma, what's the name of your relative?" The old man said, "My daughter Liu Siqin, why doesn't she come?" Rescuers knew there was a high probability that something had happened to the elderly relatives.After the earthquake, they encountered too many such cases of wives and children being separated and their families broken up. Few of those who were sent to the rescue center had complete families. Some were orphans who lost their parents in their infancy, and some were separated from their children. However, as long as those rescued and not killed in the earthquake are registered, they can be found on the Internet.The rescuers comforted her and said, "Grandma, don't worry, we will find it for you."

The rescuers posted the old man's situation on the Internet, and searched for Liu Siqin from the Internet.There are more than a dozen people named Liu Siqin, but none of them work in the bank and match up with the old man's daughter Liu Siqin.The rescuer shook his head in disappointment. At some point, the old man and the Persian cat disappeared from the rescue center.No one knew where she and the Persian cat had gone. In fact, the old man did not go far, she could no longer walk.She and the Persian cat walked slowly in the city.People in the city are very busy, no one pays attention to her anymore, only occasionally someone pays attention to the Persian cat walking with her.People in the city don't understand how a cat can be as loyal to its owner as a dog, and walk behind its owner, which is rare in the city.

I don't know how the old man found the big hospital in Chengdu. She knew that many people injured in the earthquake were receiving treatment there.Leaning on a walking stick, the old man stared intently at the people coming in and out of the hospital, hoping that her relatives would suddenly appear from the crowd. The Persian cat also watched the crowd with her, its eyes like a black cat policeman. Long generally piercing. The biscuits and water that the old man carried with her were all used up. She had some money on her body, so she threw away the basket she was carrying, bought a bag, and bought some food and mineral water to put in the bag. .She found that people in big cities were curious about everything, and even when she was carrying a basket, someone pointed at her.The old man suddenly came to his senses after the earthquake. The earthquake was so severe that life would be gone. Why do we need so much money?The money that should be spent must be spent!The old man armed himself, and went to the store to buy a bag of cat food for 30 yuan, which is also the most expensive cat food in the local area. She wanted to comfort this old cat who was dependent on her.She watched at the gate of this hospital for one day, and then appeared at the gate of another hospital the next day.The hospitals are far apart, and I don't know how she found them and how to get there.The old man kept going to and from major hospitals in Chengdu, waiting and searching at the gate of the hospital.

After I heard the story of the old man and the cat in Wenchuan, Sichuan, I wanted to meet this unusual old man, and followed the old man to Chengdu.Unfortunately, I ran around in Chengdu but couldn't find the old man. Only then did I realize that personal strength is limited, and only by relying on the strength of the unit and organization can I achieve my goal.I thought of the Sichuan Branch of Guoxing Bank. I guess they might know some old people’s situation, because the old man’s daughter and son-in-law all work in Guoxing Bank, and the Guoxing Bank employees who fled from Wenchuan to Chengdu are probably related to Guoxing Bank. uniformly arranged by the department.Sure enough, when I came to the resettlement site of Wenchuan employees of Guoxing Bank, the employees rushed to introduce the story of the old man and the cat to me, and they talked a lot about this strange event.
