Pet King - Chapter 182

Chapter 182
"Grandma Tea, how about we take a taxi? It is quite close so it won’t cost much . "


Zhang Zian noticed that Old Time Tea kept staring at the cars, so he thought she wanted to get a ride . He totally understood that Old Time Tea was getting old and a ride in a car would be handy .
"Nope, we can walk there," Old Time Tea said humbly . "Everything in this new era seems interesting to me . Look, even cars have dozens of various models . It is true that seeing is believing . TV shows don’t represent the real world . "
Zhang Zian got a great idea upon hearing Old Time Tea’s words . He could get a 3D TV which Old Time Tea could watch through a pair of 3D glasses . It had to be a great experience for her… Or he could turn them invisible and take them all out for an Imax movie . He had fun just by thinking about how terrified Fina would be .
Considering Xinghai, going during the day would be ideal because there would be less of an audience .
He would pick a movie that was good for all ages . They probably would not enjoy Sci-fi movies . Horror movies were also not a good choice, and chick-flicks would make him sad… Disney movies would be excellent, something like "Frozen" . It had been the bestseller all over the world because it was a great movie for all ages…
Pointing at an 18-wheeler, Zhang Zian said, "Look, Grandma Tea . You have to stay away from those trucks . They are too heavy and may not be able to stop on time… Also look out for the electric mopeds . Man, those things are fast . If you stay on the sidewalk, you should be fine . "
Old Time Tea kept observing and nodded .
When they arrived at the intersection near the pet shop, Old Time Tea saw the crossway and asked, "I saw those on TV . People have to wait until the cars stop?"
"That’s right . When the light across the road turns green, pedestrians may cross . However, you need to look around and keep an eye on some bad drivers . There are so many people that drive without a license or when they are drunk . Sometimes they play with their phone when driving… it is very dangerous indeed . We have to be alert and stay away from those people .
The traffic in China was quite messy because there were too many people, cars, bicycles and electric mopeds . Public transportation was great, but when a whole family went somewhere, it was much easier to have your own car . It also brought integrity to the family . He remembered the naughty kid’s mom kept saying that they needed a car… Zhang Zian wondered how the naughty kid was doing .
When there were too many cars, dead animals could be found on the side of the street . Sometimes kids ran into accidents when the adults weren’t paying attention .

An animal’s eye level was very different from that of the human being . They usually could see farther away, so they could spot enemies before they got close . However, animals were short, so their eyes could see as high as car tires . When a car came towards them at extremely high speed, they usually wouldn’t be fast enough to get away . Especially at night, most animals would be blinded by a car’s high beam headlights .
Zhang Zian could tell that Old Time Tea was curious about the outside world even though she was older . She was not like Fina and Xinghai, who loved to stay at home . Old Time Tea loved watching TV on her electric blanket, but when there was a chance to get out, she was excited . Therefore, Zhang Zian patiently explained the traffic rules in case she ever went out on her own . Although she was an Elfin and much tougher than a normal cat, she wouldn’t be tougher than a moving car .
He then realized that he hadn’t seen Little Celery in several days . He thought that Little Celery’s mom had to teach her as well . Honestly, animals were very similar to children .
Regarding safety on the road, it would be an endless lecture . Zhang Zian brought it up as they were standing at the traffic light: stop on red; go on green; stop, look and then go…
As they were talking, there came a good looking young lady across from the road waiting for the light . She glanced at the timer above the light and continued reading on her cellphone . She might be reading some news or chatting to her friends .


The light turned green after a bit . Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea started walking across the road .
A young lady put down her cellphone and walked towards them .
Zhang Zian stared at her nervously . He was worried that she could see Old Time Tea and would be scared by a cat with a vest and a hat .
The young lady didn’t land her eyes on Old Time Tea at all . As they walked by each other, she murmured, "What a freak, staring at pretty girls…"
Zhang Zian was speechless . He wasn’t staring at her . She felt too good about herself!
Old Time Tea and Zhang Zian took their time on the road . Zhang Zian kept telling her about the traffic rules, yet she didn’t really pay attention to what he was lecturing . Instead, she was more curious about this lively world .
Being invisible was a new thing to Old Time Tea . At first, she was not used to it . When she came across other people, she instinctively held her breath . Soon, she realized that she was truly invisible and no one ever landed their eyes on her . Gradually she felt more relaxed . She even tried to so walk close to other people that she could feel their body heat, yet they never knew she was there .
Although she was invisible, when Old Time Tea turned around, she could see her own footsteps that a normal person couldn’t see . She smelled another cat . Looking up, there was an orange and white street cat on top of the wall . The street cat acted like it also smelled Old Time Tea and it kept searching for the intruder . Old Time Tea smiled and waved at the orange and white cat, but it could not see her .
Zhang Zian looked at and saw the street cat . He said to Old Time Tea, "On the other side of the wall there is Binhai University . Faculty housing is near here and there are a lot of street cats . Teacher and students often come here to feed them . "
The street cat they saw was quite big and strong . It had to be a good fighter and know how to get people’s affection .
The college kids were quite kind . Some guys didn’t like pets, but they would still treat the street animals nicely, especially when there were girls around . The animal control center wouldn’t bother to capture the street animals . Street cats were over populated and sometimes you would see a few dogs if you were lucky .
