I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 444 Boarding Student (Part [-])
All three people's attention was attracted by "Kobe", and this "Kobe" was of course not Kobe playing ball, but a black cat.

It is the cat of Marcella's neighbor Mrs. Williams's house. It is usually kept at home. Today, it somehow slipped out of the attic window and jumped onto a tall acacia tree.

Although cats can climb trees, many unskilled domestic cats often climb trees but will not come down. In the end, they can only curl up on the branches of trees in fear and cannot go anywhere.

So in the news, there are often news about fire brigades setting up ladders to save cats. For fire brigades, apart from putting out fires and people, saving cats is often one of their main businesses.

The old lady Williams got up early every day to feed the cat. Today, she found that "Kobe" was missing. After looking for it for a while, she saw that the attic window was squeezed open, only to find that her little black cat jumped up and down the tree and couldn't get up. .

The old lady has been widowed at home for many years, and she has kept several cats to accompany her. Among them, "Kobe" is her favorite one. When she saw that "Kobe" was in danger of falling from the tree branch at any time, the old lady naturally cried out .

Marcella walked out of the yard, came under the tree, looked at the little black cat trapped in the tree, and shouted at Mrs. Williams: "Don't call ma'am, it would have come down if it could come down. Call 911 , and pray that your Kobe doesn't fall and die before the firemen come."

The old lady Williams spat at Marcella, "If you are a gentleman, you should help me save Kobe, or call me! Instead of talking sarcastic downstairs!"

Marcella said: "I can call the fire brigade for you, but you have to pay for it yourself, Mrs. Williams."

The fire brigade in the United States is not free, and the fee for a police call ranges from several hundred to several thousand dollars.

The old Mrs. Williams lived alone, and she had already cut off contact with her children, and lived on some inheritance left by her husband and a meager retirement salary.

Her financial situation is not very good as she has raised many cats, and she is even more financially strapped recently, thinking of calling the fire department and adding a lot of expenses, she is really heartbroken.

This expenditure may be enough for her to buy a new cat.

But for cat owners, it is difficult to measure their cats with money.

"Marcella, do you have a ladder in your house? Lend me to use it. I want to climb the tree and save Kobe myself!"

The old lady still didn't want to spend money to call the fire department, so she wanted to borrow a ladder from Marcella to save the cat.

The relationship between Marcella and the old lady neighbor has always been bad. The old lady has been a widow for many years and has a weird temper. She once shot the crows in the sky with an air gun because she thought they were too noisy. Chera was pissed off.

Arguing with the old lady at home to ask her to lose money, but the old lady refused to admit it, and this led to conflicts, and there were many conflicts in daily life.

Marcella, who was already angry early this morning, was delighted to see Williams' annoying cat climbing up a tree and being unable to get down.

"Ladder? Forget it, Mrs. Williams, it's a trivial matter if the cat goes up and down, but it's a big problem if you go up and down." Marcella said sarcastically.

"Don't gossip here, Mr. Macella, you'd better improve your virtue, or your children won't respect you." The old lady Williams said pointedly.

Marcella flushed with anger, and said angrily: "That's right, you must be the Virgin Mary with perfect virtue, Mother Teresa, your children really respect and filial you, and bought you so many The cat is with you! God, what kind of stupid cat is this, why can't even climb trees..."

Just when the two old neighbors were choking on each other, Lu Yuan stood under the tree and looked up. He put down his schoolbag, stretched his body, stretched his legs and arms, took off his shoes and socks, and took a deep breath. Hold on to the tree trunk and start climbing up.

"Hey! Lu Yuan! What are you doing! Be careful, come down!"

Ada saw Lu Yuan climbing the tree barefoot, and hurriedly shouted at him, but Lu Yuan couldn't understand at all.

And within a few strokes, Lu Yuan had already climbed onto the branch with the trunk in his arms, his movements were extremely agile, like a thin monkey.

Marcella looked up at Lu Yuan, and murmured, "Chinese kung fu kid?"

And Mrs. Williams in the attic covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Be careful, be careful! Kobe! Don't move Kobe, Kobe!"

Lu Yuan slowly approached the black cat named Kobe. The cat stared at Lu Yuan with big black eyes and "meowed" at Lu Yuan, but it was very obedient and lay on the branch without moving.

Apparently, he was also frightened. He ran out of the attic out of curiosity and climbed onto the branch of a tree. However, due to his lack of experience in wild survival, he could only crawl and remain motionless in the face of the danger of falling.

He seemed to know that the boy was here to save him, when Lu Yuan reached out and gently stroked its head, it meowed a few times obediently.

Then, Lu Yuan tightly locked the branch with his legs, pinched the back of the kitten's neck with one hand, slowly lifted it up, and hugged it into his arms.

"Be careful Lu! How do you get down like this!"

Ada was frightened watching from below, why is this kid so courageous?
Climbing up a tree with bare hands and bare feet to catch a cat, Ida really couldn’t explain to the team and manager Smart if he fell down and went wrong.

Now Lu Yuan has caught the cat, but how did he get down like this?
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan grabbed the cat with one hand and the branch of the tree with the other, his body moved down very nimbly, and then he stepped on the rough bark with his feet, and jumped down from the tree in two or three strokes!
And the kitten in his hand was firmly held by him, and nothing happened, and he returned to the ground safely.

Mrs. Williams in the attic had already come down from upstairs and hurried to the yard. Seeing "Kobe" safe and sound, she finally let go of her hanging heart.

"Kobe! Kobe! God, my little boy, you can't run around again next time. Don't run around anymore, you know? Thank you boy, thank you so much. But it's too dangerous for you to do this, You should also pay attention to your own safety. Ada, is this a relative of your family? Or a friend?"

Mrs. Williams was kind to Ida, because Ida was always very good-natured, and would give Mrs. Williams some presents and food during the holidays.

Ada said: "No, he came from China for exchange and study, and he wants to stay at my house."

Marcella hurriedly said: "No! Impossible! I can't let him live in my house. You haven't obtained the consent of me, the head of the family! I will not allow such a thing to happen."

Mrs. Williams hugged Kobe, looked at Marcella with contempt, and muttered: "Incompetent tyrant."

She then said to Ada: "Ada, if your father doesn't agree with this young man living in your house, then let him live with me. I have a lot of rooms here! If he doesn't dislike me as an old lady if!"

Ada did not expect the old lady Williams to lend a helping hand, but the old lady may not even take care of herself well, how can she take care of a Chinese who does not understand the language?

It was such a headache that Ida even felt that Mr. Smart should take the child back. Anyway, he lives alone in the apartment, and the language and culture are fine.

She asked Lu Yuan for his opinion, "Would you like to live with Mrs. Williams?"

Half talking and half gesturing, Lu Yuan understood, he thought it didn't matter, it was fine, so he nodded.

At this time, Mrs. Williams took out a five-dollar bill from her pocket, handed it to Lu Yuan, and said, "Young man, this is your reward. Thank you for saving my cat. From now on, you will live in my house. I will not Take your money, but you have to take care of my cat, do you think it's okay?"

Lu Yuan seemed to understand, but when he saw the five yuan handed over by Mrs. Williams, his whole body lit up!

I quickly took 5 yuan, 5 dollars, more than 30 yuan.

"OK! OK!" It's OK, if you understand what the person said, you're OK.

Thus, Lu Yuan's accommodation problem was solved, and he stayed at Mrs. Williams's house, starting his trip to the United States.
