Cat's Farce (Part 2)
Li Wenqi
07
As the Eight-Faced Emperor became more and more popular, Ah Ji's happiness was also more and more, and naturally some people suffered from the disease of red eye. A large number of talent shows, like the hair of the menstrual period, filled the streets overnight. People scramble to take their pets with them, do grooming, learn their talents, and even become trainees. Pets are not limited by gender, and it seems that as long as they are as hot as Aki's cats, then this sacrifice is not spared.
Since Mr. Ma moved all his business online, the shops that went offline have not had such a hot business for a long time. From barbershops, clothing stores, to more high-end luxury stores, people have nothing to wear people or animals, as long as there is money to make, everyone is still the same happy, animals seem to be used to integrating into human life, it may also be that their authenticity has blurred what the difference between people and their essence is.
Just like this, a grand feast of drafts in full swing began. It's just that this wave of drafts is not a fast man and a woman, nor is it a new generation of candy super sweet, but a cat and a dog or a pig or something pet occupy the main draft market. However, it is also a change of soup without changing the medicine, and the content of the draft is basically similar to that of pets and people. It's just a miserable part of the game, the pets have no way to justify themselves, they can only let humans translate, the translation is a surprise, and it really becomes a surprise for him to be able to translate it. It seems that mastering foreign languages, beast language is really in it.
Returning to the Eight-Faced Emperor, Ah Ji began to hold it and sit in the position of mentor (let's call it a mentor for the time being, I don't know what the high-ranking teacher should be called in the pet selection, first use the human title), commenting on every inspirational young pet on the stage who wants to surpass the Eight-Faced Emperor. I don't know if this link Ah Ji has a proper talk about the face of love, after all, take people's hands soft, eat people's mouth short, but from the beginning to the end of Ah Ji is an iron face selfless, so think about Ah Ji still has a pattern, will not be lost because of small losses, to ensure that her life is happy for ten thousand years, there can be no second eight-faced emperor appears!
After one such draft after another, no pet can be compared with Aki's pet. The players who were eliminated miserably, some became Internet celebrities, some saw through the "life" of pets, and some fell into the nerves, and they wanted to be as red as the eight-faced emperor. They also don't think about it in reverse, behind the eight-faced emperor, there is a powerful character, the magical character Aki. The Eight-Faced Emperor can have today, and Ah Ji's efforts and sacrifices cannot be ignored.
In addition to dealing with the liquor bureau and dealing with all kinds of people to make connections, Aki sometimes seems to be busier than before. At that time, it was only busy in the neon at night, but now it is day and night, busy and happy. Some people call her Sister Ji, some people call her Ji Mother, no matter how the title changes, Ah Ji is Ah Ji, a woman who can give herself up, an outlaw!
Is there any reason why the Eight-Faced Emperor is not hot? Playing iron also needs to be hard, some people asked, what is the difference between our pets, blowing and playing, playing and singing, piano and chess calligraphy and painting, dancing knives and guns, I don't know how much stronger than the eight-faced emperor, but why is it not red?! In fact, this question does not need me to answer, look at our own people, why is red red, not red because what is not red? The so-called unfairness is a kind of jealousy in disguise, and that jealousy has reached a certain level, and it is difficult to be fair.
Even among the so-called celebrities, there are contradictions and practical problems between red and not red. High rewards, the same skills as fools, even if you stand there without a word, wear less, laugh well, money is naturally indispensable. In turn, this point can not be compared with pets, think of the rooster will crow, the hen will lay eggs, the dog will look after the nursing home, the cat will sell cute treasure, some celebrities but just stand in the position of celebrities, other things are clueless, can not disguise the so-called bullshit is not!

Not every day is a bright sun, feng shui will always take turns, or it can be said that things must be reversed and so on. The peak of Ah Ji and the Eight-Faced Emperor has also gradually lost its former color in people's aesthetic fatigue and the wind and frost of the years. With fewer and fewer performances and announcements, Aki felt that the trend had gone, and it seemed that she had to find a way to go from youth rice to evergreen trees. Aki came to me one night and begged me to help her think of a way. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a solution, but Aki thought that I also wanted some benefits and was perfunctory to her.
Without hesitation, Ah Ji sacrificed herself again to find an opportunity for the Eight-Faced Emperor. At the same time, I was surprised that I had a little understanding and sympathy for her, if the Eight-Faced Emperor lost her former status, Aki's life would return to its original state, and there was an extra burden, because keeping a pet was not an easy thing. But I really don't know what good way to do it, just when there is no way, how can the determination of the living to let the urine choke to death make my eyes light up, yes! Ah Ji takes the Eight-Faced Emperor to plastic surgery!
Aki didn't hesitate, because now she could take a risk with anything she could do. She found one of the best plastic surgery hospitals, and just as she walked into the hospital with her cat hopefully, a new problem came up: doctors only knew how to shape people, but they didn't know how cats should be solved. Akira was furious, and she felt that the doctor's treatment of the Eight-Faced Emperor as a cat was not only an insult to the cat's status and status symbol, but also an insult to Aki's dignity and decency.
Ah Ji solemnly told the doctor that she should serve this cat as an adult, and give other people treatment and service attitude. As a result, it can be imagined that how can a cat endure the pain of a thousand knives, it is already an incomplete cat, I did not expect to suffer such a sin in order to live, the mental collapse plus the bed of the body, the eight-faced emperor was like this. At the end of the farewell, Aki looked at it lying there motionless, crying in the dark, giving the eight-faced emperor dear affection and tears.
Ah Ji's crying, I think not only the pain of mourning, but also the regret and fear wrapped in it, a cat is also a cat after all, or a wild cat that was picked up, warming each other when alive, taking what they need, dead then dead, dead an eight-faced emperor, and a second, a third... The hundredth. Oh man! Always so that feelings change so quickly, is there no value in use, and even the feelings that are established by use are burned?!
Cold-blooded animals also include people. Excessive greed and intake, stifling the so-called dependence, instinctively will cry a few times to seek inner stability, the heart is stable, and then think about where to go tomorrow and where to get some money to settle down.

The Eight-Faced Emperor was dead, and Aki had wanted to use its last splendor to win a little sympathy from the people. But she overestimated the value of cats, and she overestimated the value of compassion. Aki was going to hold a memorial service that shocked people and animals twice, but she didn't expect to humiliate herself, and no one came, not even an animal. Ah Ji also thought that when the Eight-Faced Emperor was alive, he should always have one or two good friends, but he never expected that the two of them were so similar, Ah Ji had no friends, and the cat had no friends.
Both have enjoyed a prosperous life, but when they need comfort and care the most, there is not even a greeting. Being born is no more than that. Ah Ji buried the Eight-Faced Emperor in disappointment, ready to compromise or live a life, day and night, and started again on her own.
Just when she made up her mind, just when she thought that the trend of pet competition for pets had come to an end with the death of the Eight-Faced Emperor, she suddenly found that there were new pets and their partners sitting in the position where he had once been with the Eight-Faced Emperor, there were new people with pets in the draft, and as trainees, even the photos of the previous Eight-Faced Emperor were thrown into the waste recycling station. Once again, Aki felt humiliated, and this humiliation was worse than her own humiliation.
Aki's anger doesn't mean how much she cares about dead cats, maybe it's just a matter of face.
Ah Ji thought about it and felt that she should not just concede defeat like this, she felt that since the Eight-Faced Emperor was cultivated by her, then she was much more powerful than this cat. So she had another idea, that is, to dress herself up as a cat, to dissociate herself, and to be a stand-in for the Eight-Faced Emperor.

Ah Ji took a lot of effort to change from a person back to a cat, and she was following the standards of the Eight-Faced Emperor from every posture. The sound is not like, she practices the pronunciation of the meow every day, the figure is not like, she lies on the ground every day to learn the appearance of the cat. Over time, I don't know how long, Aki's appearance is getting fainter and weaker, the cat's appearance is getting thicker and thicker, and it can always attract attention and commotion on the street. Aki thinks that a good start is half the battle, and she feels that she has not done enough, so she becomes more and more caught up in the fire, eating cats like to eat, not dressing like people, even the real cats see her, so surprised.
If there really is reincarnation, if there is really cultivation into immortality. An animal still needs thousands of years and tens of thousands of years to do it, but Aki only gave up herself and did not make much effort to do it. Man's fall is really fast, think about it, thousands of people are believing in things, how many people are trying their best to get, to possess, one percent is not enough, but also ten percent, one lifetime is not enough, and the next life.
Aki felt that the time was ripe and began to participate in the draft and participate in various activities as before. But without exception, any place rejected this cat-like non-cat, non-human-like Aji, let Aki how to scratch her head, moan and offer spring, never a person is willing to buy her account, even the original friend who asked her to drink under the neon lights, is not willing to look at her more, such abandonment, let Aki unexpected, she seems to have some regrets, from the mirror she saw herself now, she began to miss the original days, soft lips can always attract a lot of lip moisturizing, There was always fresh love words by the warm bed to coax her to sleep. Now only the breath is its own.
Ah Ji wants to find someone to put herself back to her original appearance, but no one can do anything, because if she loses everything she has, she will never find the feeling of being a human being again. No matter how popular cats and dogs are, they are cats and dogs after all, but people are still degenerate, and gradually they are no longer people.
In despair and worldly abandonment, Aki compromised her own life that she had destroyed. She now seemed to realize that only the cat and she had really been with each other for a while. She is grateful and remorseful, and there are regrets and unwillingness, but no matter what, Aki will never be the same as the previous Aki, even if the previous life is not so really wonderful.
One night Aki came to my door several times, and I could feel that it was indeed her, but she never knocked on my door. In her eyes, I was also the one who abandoned her, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this sentence now seems to be ironic to me.
In the days that followed, I never saw Aki again, and the door was always empty, empty and empty. No one in the world in front of them had ever cared about Aki's disappearance, and few people even knew that there was such a person in this world. Neon is still so bright, still so tempting, there are still so many cats, occasionally you will see one or two cats like eight-faced emperors, but because the woman next to you is not Aji, you will not deliberately pay attention.
There are always people who are getting lonely in fantasies, there are always people who become more and more silent after trying all means, we are all living in a farce of tragedy and joy, and in such a life, it is very difficult to always look at ourselves well.
I sometimes look forward to seeing Aki going into the neon depths of the shadows on my late return, but never. It was also until later, when the opposite door opened, and I vaguely heard the laughter of a woman and the cry of a cat, and these two voices merged into one, penetrated into my heart, and became the secret that I wanted to spy on again. And this time, I'm not going to get to know them.
