Red Moscow

Chapter 2504

 In some European countries, including Russia, drivers are required to turn on low beam headlights or daytime running lights during the day. Because the climate in these countries is cold and the snow days are particularly long, resulting in long-term darkness, the target that could be clearly judged at a distance of 300 meters has been shortened to 50 meters. You are required to turn on your headlights when driving to make it easier for other vehicles to recognize you.

 Sorry, Comrade Traffic Police! Sokov quickly admitted his mistake to the traffic police: "It's all my fault. I forgot to turn on the lights while driving. I am willing to accept the corresponding punishment." "

 As usual, the little traffic policeman will take him to the traffic police station to go through the punishment procedures. But after Sokov finished speaking, the little traffic policeman stood still. If an ordinary person violated the rules, he would definitely take the other person to the traffic police station without hesitation to punish him. But now the person who broke the rules was a general, several levels higher than his station commander. He had already caused a big disaster by stopping him, so how could he dare to take him to be punished?

Sokov did not notice the embarrassment of the young traffic policeman. He was still wondering whether he would be driving without a license in this era if the other party took him to the traffic police station to be punished and he could not get his driver's license. Would he be severely punished? punishment.

"Misha," Asya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw Sokov and the little traffic policeman standing there without speaking, so she opened the door and got out of the car, and asked Sokov, "What happened? "

Asiya's voice made Sokov wake up, and he quickly replied: "Asiya, it was me who broke the rules. I forgot to turn on the lights when I was driving!"

Asiya came to Sokov's side, took his arm and asked, "What will the traffic police do?"

 “I don’t know.” Sokov answered simply. He had already figured it out at this moment. Even if he was driving without a license, the other party would probably not be punished too seriously because of his status. He looked at the little traffic policeman and asked tentatively: "Comrade traffic policeman, do I want to follow you there?" Are you going to stand there to receive punishment?"

"No, no need." The little traffic policeman waved his hands desperately and said in a panic: "Comrade General, this is your first offense, so you won't be punished. Please pay more attention when driving in the future."

Seeing that the matter was resolved so easily, Sokov felt relieved. He nodded to the little traffic policeman and said, "Thank you, comrade traffic policeman!" After saying that, he helped Asiya to the passenger seat. On this side, prepare to let her get in the car first.

Just when Asiya bent down to get into the car, she suddenly heard a cat meowing from behind. Asiya turned and looked behind her, and found a little black cat squatting on the side of the road, making a deep voice toward her, as if asking for help.

 “Misha, look quickly, what a cute kitten.”

Sokov turned his head and saw the little black cat Asiya mentioned. Its hair was as black as ink, its ears were raised, and its eyes were bright. It looked very cute. At this moment, he was standing alone next to the snowdrift, letting out a long and deep cry from time to time, as if telling his helplessness and confusion.

Asia was afraid of scaring the little black cat, so she walked slowly, squatted in front of the kitten, and stretched out her hand to touch its head. Facing Asiya's stretched out hand, the kitten did not dodge. On the contrary, it brought its head closer and allowed her to stroke her head.

Asiya took out a piece of bread from her bag and handed it to the kitten's mouth. Smelling the aroma of bread, the kitten immediately opened its mouth and ate it hungrily. While the kitten was eating, Asiya looked up at Sokov and said, "Misha, I like this kitten very much. Can we take it home?"

Sokov didn’t know the origin of this kitten, and was worried that it was a domestic cat that escaped. If he and Asiya took it away, its owner would be anxious if he couldn’t find it. In order to find out the situation of the kitten, Sokov turned to the little traffic policeman and asked: "Comrade traffic policeman, do you know where this kitten came from?"

"Yes, Comrade General, I know." Unexpectedly, the little traffic policeman nodded and explained to the two of them: "This is a kitten born by a stray cat in our traffic police station. Because the weather is too cold, there are The four kittens froze to death soon after they were born, and this is the only one left. Two days ago, the mother cat was hit by a car while crossing the road when she went out to look for food, and this little guy is the only one left."

 “I want to take it back, is that okay?”

"Yes, of course." The little traffic policeman nodded vigorously and said in a positive tone: "This kitten has just turned one month old and the mother cat is no longer here. If it continues to wander outside, it may not survive this winter."

After the little traffic policeman finished speaking, Sokov said to Asiya: "Asiya, you heard it, this is a stray cat. If you don't take it back, I'm afraid it won't survive this winter."

Asiya took off the scarf around her neck, surrounded the kitten, and sat in the car with it.

Sokov closed the car door for her, walked around the front of the car, and when passing by the little traffic policeman, he specifically said to him: "Thank you!"

 After getting back on the road, Sokov did not forget to turn on his car lights to avoid being stopped by the traffic police again.

Seeing Asiya holding the kitten in his arms, Sokov didn't say anything about being careful that it had fleas. Even if the kitten was a stray cat, in such a cold weather, fleas were Unsurvivable. As for the suggestion that pregnant women who raise cats will be infected with toxoplasmosis, that is even more nonsense. Even if a cat has toxoplasmosis, it will not be directly transmitted to humans, unless the person eats cat feces containing Toxoplasma eggs, then there is a chance of being infected.

 After the two returned home, Asiya couldn't wait to take the kitten into the bathroom, turned on the hot water and gave it a bath. Sokov even stood at the door and asked: "Asia, do you need my help?"

 “No, no need.” Asiya shook her head while bathing the kitten and said, “I can handle it alone.”

When Asiya bathed the kitten, Sokov stood at the door and watched for a while. He found that the kitten was really better behaved. It didn't struggle at all when it was put in the water, but was at the mercy of Asiya. He felt relieved. Leave and go to the kitchen to prepare today's dinner.

Before Sokov’s meal was ready, Asiya washed the kitten, wiped the water off it with a towel, then put it in a paper box and placed it on the radiator.

“Misha,” Asya came to the kitchen door after doing all this and asked Sokov, who was busy: “What should we name the cat?”

 “Chief Black Cat!” Sokov replied without thinking.

Asiya laughed after hearing this: "What the **** name did you choose? It doesn't sound good. Choose another one."

Sokov was always bad at naming, and he didn’t know what a suitable name should be given to this newly adopted kitten, so he handed over this important task to Asiya: “Asiya, I think it’s you. Come and get it.”

Unexpectedly, Asia shook her head and said, "No, I want you to name the kitten."

Seeing that Asiya insisted on naming the kitten by himself, Sokov could not refuse, so he could only accept the task: "Asiya, go and see first, whether this kitten is a younger cat brother or a younger cat sister. ?”

When Asiya bathed the kitten, she had already seen clearly that it was a cat sister. When Sokov asked, she blurted out: "It's a cat sister." "Oh, it's a cat sister?" Sokov's mind After thinking quickly for a while, Li came up with a more appropriate name: "Look, how about calling her Luna?"

"Luna? Luna!" Asia repeated the name Sokov said twice, then nodded slowly and said, "It is indeed a good name."

Luna is a black cat character in the island country’s anime. She has a nimble figure and a lively and cute personality. Sokov felt that this was a unique and resonant name for the little black cat. Fortunately, Asia also accepted the name, which made him secretly relieved.

 “Luna!” Asiya came to the radiator and squatted down, reached out and stroked the kitten’s head, and said, “From now on, your name will be Luna.”

The kitten seemed to understand Asiya's words, raised its head and barked at her.

“Misha,” seeing the kitten’s reaction, Asia turned her head and shouted excitedly toward the kitchen: “Luna understood what I said, and she likes this name very much.”

 “As long as you like it, that’s good as long as you like it.”

Asiya stood up and came to the kitchen door, and said to Sokov: "Misha, Luna must be hungry. Quickly find a piece of bread and pour a bowl of milk. I want to feed it."

"No, cats can't be fed milk." Sokov had raised cats in his later generations, so he naturally knew some taboos about raising cats, and quickly said to Asiya: "Cats will develop a lactose intolerance reaction to milk, causing severe diarrhea. Luna is just one month old and without the care of her mother cat, she must be very weak. If she feeds her milk rashly, it may endanger her life."

"Oh, so that's it." Asiya nodded after hearing this, and humbly asked Sokov for advice: "Then what should I feed it?"

Sokov thought to himself that in this era, unlike later generations, cat food, canned cats, cat milk powder, etc. can be bought everywhere, so feeding them is quite troublesome. But he was someone who had fed cats after all, and he quickly thought of substitutes: "Prepare two bowls for Luna, one for bread crumbs and one for water. I will cook some muscle for it later to enhance its nutrition. .”

When Asia carried two bowls over to feed Luna, Sokov thought of another key issue: there should be no cat litter in this era. Without cat litter, Luna might urinate and defecate everywhere in the house, causing a mess. The room stinks.

Thinking of this, he came behind Asiya who was feeding Luna and asked: "Asiya, do you know where I can get sand?"

“Sand?” Asiya asked in confusion: “Misha, what do you want sand for?”

Sokov pointed at Luna with his hand and said, "Of course it's for Luna to use the toilet." Before Asiya could ask, he took the initiative to explain, "Cats are clean animals, so they don't care about peeing or peeing." The excrement must be buried and kept clean and tidy. If you don’t prepare sand for it, it may urinate everywhere in the house, which will make the house smelly.”

 After listening to Sokov's explanation, Asiya realized that raising a cat was not an easy task. Taking the cat home is just the first step. There are still many things to do in the future. Since Sokov said he was looking for sand, she thought for a while and then said, "I saw a lot of sand piled up against the wall behind the compound a few days ago. I wonder if it is still there now."

Sokov was worried that Luna would have to go to the toilet at any time, so he immediately put on his military coat and said to Asiya, "I'm going to take a look now."

 “It’s better to go after eating.”

"It's not dark yet, go out and see clearly now." Sokov reached out and opened the door and said to Asiya: "If it gets dark, it will be difficult to find."

Sokov came to the back wall of the compound and saw a snowdrift here. He stepped forward and bent down, pushing aside the snow on the surface with his hands, and sure enough he saw piles of sand exposed underneath. He took a closer look and found that the thickness of the sand was very suitable for making cat litter, but because it was too cold and frozen, he had no tools, so he really couldn't get the sand home.

Just when Sokov was thinking about whether he should go home to get tools, a patrolling soldier came over and saw Sokov squatting in front of a pile of sand, seemingly looking at something. He quickly stopped and asked respectfully: "Comrade General, what are you doing here?"

Sokov turned his head and saw clearly that the person asking the question was a soldier patrolling the compound. He stood up and said to him: "I plan to get some sand and go home."

The soldier heard Sokov say that he was going to get some sand to go home, so he asked tentatively: "Comrade General, do you plan to repair anything at home? If so, you only need to apply to the management office of the compound, and someone will be arranged to go there." Helping you with repairs.”

Seeing that the soldier had misunderstood, Sokov quickly explained to him: "Comrade soldier, it's like this. I just got a cat and I need to get some sand for the cat to use in the toilet."

“What, get some sand for the cat to use in the toilet?” The soldier was stunned after hearing this: “Comrade General, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”

Sokov knew very well that people who raised cats in this era probably didn’t have the concept of cat litter, so it was only natural that the soldier didn’t understand what he was doing. He quickly explained to the soldier: "Comrade soldier, cats are clean animals. They will bury their excrement to keep the environment clean. When their ancestors lived in the wild, they would bury their feces in soil or leaves to cover their tracks. , to prevent natural enemies from tracking. Using cat litter is to imitate this natural behavior."

 The soldier nodded as if understanding, and said cautiously: "So, you are planning to get some sand back?"

Sokov was worried that the sand had special uses. If he took it home directly, someone might cause trouble for him, so he asked tentatively: "Comrade soldier, can I take the sand here home?"

"Yes, of course." After the soldier gave Sokov a positive answer, he asked tentatively: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Of course, there are places where I need your help." Sokov said to the soldier: "The sand here is frozen. Please help me find a shovel. I want to dig it up. By the way, bring it again A bag, and I also took the sand home.”

"Okay, Comrade General, please wait here." The soldier said to Sokov: "I will bring you what you want soon."

 A few minutes after the soldier left, he reappeared. But he didn't come alone, there were two burly warriors behind him.

Seeing the opponent's appearance, Sokov couldn't help but frown slightly and said to himself, I'll just dig some sand, and you won't bring someone here to arrest me, right?
