Chapter 497 I Finally Find You

Chapter 497 I Finally Find You

Gao Ge sees that the man called Yao’er starts to rummage around after entering the room.

In this small room, he overturns the trunks and boxes.

Gao Ge doesn’t know what he is looking for but he can feel the anxiety of Yao’er.

It’s like the world will explode the next second.

And Yao’er is looking for the only one exit path.

The old woman comes back with groceries.

Gao Ge feels a bit surprised.

He has stayed here for a long time. This is the first time he has seen the old woman buy so many groceries.

These should be enough for the old woman to get through one month?

The woman lives a tedious life.

Every morning and evening, she goes out to rummage in the trash bins or collect some bottles in the street.

Every Sunday, she borrows the tricycle from her neighbor and takes the bottles and cans to a recycling station in the west of the city after half an hour’s ride.

She can earn 30 or 40 dollars every time.

The money will support her life for the whole next week.

This time, she must have spent 70 or 80 dollars on the groceries.

She has bought shrimps, beef and fish.

Yet, the fish is too big.

Gao Ge knows that it is not for him.

Yet, he is not angry. Instead, he is quite happy.

Because he sees an inexpressible smile on the old woman’s smile.

Seeing that the old woman is so happy, Gao Ge feels happy too without rhyme or reason.

He doesn’t like Yao’er, but he doesn’t care about it.

The moment that the old woman puts down the cooking materials, Yao’er rushes to her.

He subconsciously takes a few steps forward.

He sees the anger in Yao’er’s face. Although he has no idea what the old woman has done wrong to make Yao’er so furious, he just wants to walk forward by instinct.

Yao’er grabs the old woman’s arm.

Gao Ge sees him shout hysterically.

“Where is the premises permit? Where is it?”

Gao Ge doesn’t know what the premises permit is.

He only feels that Yao’er is rather horrifying now.

The old woman is terrified now.

He rushes forward subconsciously at a fast speed but he is kicked away by Yao’er.

Yao’er is wearing a pair of shiny and hard leather shoes. The kick makes Gao Ge scream in severe pain.

At the moment, another two men arrive.

They come together, followed by two women and three kids.

As the two men come to them, Gao Ge finally lets out a long sigh of relief.

He has seen these two men in the photos hung on the wall.

Since they are here, the woman must be fine.

Nevertheless, he is wrong.

The two men do beat Yao’er down after coming into the room.

Unexpectedly, each of them grabs an arm of the old woman.

As a matter of fact, they and Yao’er are alike.

Likewise, they shout at the woman hysterically with their faces full of anger.

Besides, they are also anxious.

Gao Ge has never met them before.

Now he sees them all.

This weird feeling all over his body makes Gao Ge feel uncomfortable deep down.

They start to fight against each other.

The two women also dash to join the fight.

One of them is holding a chair.

One of them fetches the familiar knife from the kitchen.

And one holds Gao Ge up and throws him at another person.

Hem...

He takes the cat as a weapon now...

As to the three kids standing outside, one girl and two boys, the oldest girl leads the younger boy to hit the other boy.

They are all crying.

The ground of the room is full of blood.

The old woman sits down weak and limp in terror, with dull eyes.

Tears just keep coming out of her hollow eyes.

Meanwhile, she keeps shouting, “Stop it! Stop it!”

No one pays attention to her.

Gao Ge holds back his pain and climbs to her.

He lies next to the old woman, watching her quietly.

He doesn’t know what to do now.

Everything looks like a fuss. He only hears them shout about the demolition and premises permit.

Gao Ge doesn’t know what that means.

But he knows it can’t be anything good.

Otherwise, why is the peaceful life destroyed by it?

Suddenly, Gao Ge senses something and gets up from the ground like a frightened cat.

No.

He is a cat now.

A small stool is thrown by Yao’er at another man, but it misses.

The stool is familiar to Gao Ge. The old woman always trims vegetables for cooking, sitting on the stool.

Bang.

It is too late for Gao Ge to stop him.

He just sees the stool hit on the old woman’s head.

The old woman falls on the ground without a cry.

Her head starts to bleed and the blood just stains the ground.

Gao Ge cries out.

It doesn’t sound like a cry of a cat.

It is more like... from a fierce beast.

He stares at the three men.

He is waiting for them to remorse in fear and holds the old woman up in a flurry.

However, Gao Ge realizes that he is wrong.

He only hears them talking about the medical fees, inside stories of the hospital and liabilities...

Gao Ge stays next to the old woman, watching the three men.

They leave the room with their wives and kids.

Oh.

They finally stop fighting...

Gao Ge wants to call them back but he can only meow.

He dislikes the current self.

If only he were a human being!

After the three men leaves, Gao Ge walks out of the room.

He keeps roaring.

More and more cats and dogs are called on.

And...

Mr. Wang is a neighbor living next to the old woman.

Mr. Wang holds the old woman up with his son and daughter-in-law and then calls an ambulance.

A vehicle with a flickering lamp arrives, out of which several men in white come and carry the old woman into the vehicle.

Then they just drive away.

Gao Ge is ignored.

He keeps running after the vehicle.

He feels more and more tired.

He is worn to a frazzle.

After a long while, Gao Ge finally gets to see the old woman at home.

Her eyes are as hollow as they were on that day. And her hair has gone completely grey.

Gao Ge walks to her. She stares at him for a long time and then holds him up.

Her cuddle is still so warm.

Gao Ge can feel that the old woman is very sad. For the following several days, she just sits by the door quietly, doing nothing. She doesn’t go to collect bottles or scraps.

She even forgets to cook.

Luckily, Mr. Wang often brings some food to her, including several fishes for the cat.

From Mr. Wang, he learns some words—Senile dementia, the Alzheimer’s disease, a pitiful person.

One day, he opens his eyes and yet doesn’t see the old woman.

Neither does he see her the next day.

The old woman doesn’t come back.

On the third day, she still doesn’t show up.

Gao Ge doesn’t continue waiting for her. He stands up and leaves the room for the south of the city.

Then he heads towards the north of the city.

Then he goes towards the east of the city.

In the end, he finds the old woman in a trash bin at the back of a long-deserted recycling station.

She lies on the ground, motionless and still, with her eyes open staring at the sky.

Some flies are flying around her body.

Gao Ge walks to her slowly, squatting on the ground.

Meow.

Here she is...

Gao Ge gives a shrill cry.

He rushes forward to bite the old woman’s clothes.

He’ll take her home...

He’ll take her home.

He exerts all his strength to drag the old woman away and still fails.

He roars again and then rushes to a telegraph pole at a fast speed.

Bang.

He feels dizzy and yet, still can get up.

So it rushes and hits the telegraph pole for a second time.

Then a third time.

Then a fourth time...

For the fifth time, when he gets up, he realizes something is different.

He sees a black cat full of blood, motionless.

He lowers his head to see himself.

He is wearing a floral dress, a pair of multi-layer-sole cloth shoes and a pair of black trousers.

He raises his hands only to see them covered with calluses.

He manages to take a step forward. He feels relieved and happy.

“I... I can take you home now! “
