Unexpectedly, Xu Chunqiu and Lu Xiu's mission location is quite remote, and for the convenience of recording and shooting, the location of the heartbeat hut was originally far away from the city, but this stray cat rescue station seems to be farther away. The car of the program team gradually slowed down and stopped at a narrow intersection in the south of the city.

A chubby girl, about thirty years old, stood at the intersection and beckoned to them.

Xu Chunqiu took the lead in opening the car door and greeted tentatively: "Hello?"

The girl saw the two big photographers holding the machines behind them, and shrank back a little uncomfortably.

"It's Ms. Taro Yuan, isn't it?"

The girl nodded to Xu Chunqiu stiffly: "Yes, I'm Taro Yuan." ”

"The location of the aid station is a bit out of the way, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it, so I'll come out to pick you up. ”

Taro Yuan led them all the way down the alley, the red brick walls were written with paint with the big word "demolition", low bungalows and dilapidated brick houses were crowded together, there were not too many residents of this generation, and the neighbors next door heard that Taro Yuan had taken people to the aid station again, and scolded and shouted a few unpleasant words.

Taro Yuan walked in front of him without paying attention, pulled open a peeling tin door, and turned back to explain to them, "They must have thought I had picked up the cat again." ”

"The stray cats that have just been picked up are wild, and they can't sleep in the middle of the night. ”

Xu Chunqiu was slightly touched, she called this aid station "home".

Lu Xiu silently followed behind into the courtyard, wearing handmade leather shoes and shirts, which seemed to be a little out of place in the environment here.

"This is a yard I rented. ”

"Is it rented exclusively for stray cats?"

"Yes. ”

A few drops of water dripped from the air conditioner upstairs and slid down the collar of Lu Xiu's shirt into his clothes, and he raised his hand to wipe it on his neck with some discomfort.

Dirty, mixed with mud soup, this shirt is estimated to be useless after wearing it today.

"What's wrong?" Xu Chunqiu stopped and turned back to wait for him.

"It's fine. ”

Lu Xiu continued to follow as if he had no intention of doing so.

"It's here. ”

Taro Yuan stopped.

Xu Chunqiu looked up at the faded sign on it, the words on it were so mottled that people couldn't recognize it, only the three words "aid station" could barely be recognized.

Lu Xiu hung his heart, stepped on the creaking old iron staircase and followed him up to the second floor, the handrail was rusty and a little prickly.

The door on the second floor was open, the smell of cats in the room was very strong, and the two camera brothers who followed behind were so smoked that they frowned, and they fanned their mouths and noses with their free hands.

"This house is actually quite big, but it's a bit broken. ”

Taro Yuan was a little embarrassed, but Xu Chunqiu realized that since she entered the room, her eyes had changed, and her previous cringe-inducing demeanor had suddenly been replaced, and her eyes had become bright, and something was flickering.

The conditions in the house are definitely not good, the idle cat cage is covered with flower sheets to cover the dust, the woven bags and express boxes are piled together and are reluctant to throw away, the walls are all traces of cat scratches, and a large piece of wall skin has fallen off in white flowers.

The cats were free-range in the room, and as soon as they saw taro balls coming in, they pounced at her feet, in groups of three or five.

"Oh my God, are the conditions at the aid station so difficult?"

"A good man has a safe life!"

"It's really not easy to rescue, the young lady is an angel!"

"Can you adopt, I suddenly want to cry when I see so many cats. ”

"Is the rescue station so bad for cats, the place where you live is too broken, it doesn't feel clean at all. ”

"Tsk, what should I do if so many cats are kept in one room and wake up in the middle of the night to disturb the people?"

"The young lady rented such a big yard for stray cats to live in, it is already a beautiful and kind person, she has done her best to give the cat the best conditions, okay!"

“......”

The barrage was obviously frightened by the environment of this aid station, which people imagined to be bright, with soft mats and warm light, cute and clingy cats, and gentle and beautiful young ladies who worked as nurses.

But the reality is very different from what I imagined.

A large proportion of abandoned stray cats are born with defects, either they are not good-looking, or they have some kind of disease, parasites and the like are common.

They have a very bad temper, they like to rummage through garbage cans, and they can't stop screaming in the middle of the night, and the lack of security makes them suddenly turn into invincible destroyers.

A little orange cat with congenital malformation of its front legs stared at its big round eyes and looked at Xu Chunqiu and Lu Xiu vigilantly.

Taro Yuan squatted down and stretched out his hand to her: "Come, mom hug." ”

"Mom, see if there are any fleas. ”

After repeatedly confirming that there were no parasites on the cat, Taro Yuan gently stuffed it into Xu Chunqiu's arms.

"There used to be a very beautiful little white cat that was adopted and returned very quickly," she said with a sigh, "and the owner of the new house thought she had fleas on her." ”

"Will anyone adopt?"

Taro Yuan thought for a while and said, "I'll adopt some and take some." ”

"Beautiful, good-natured. She jokingly said, "Isn't it all face-looking society now, and cats are the same." ”

"It's basically unlikely that someone will adopt the one you have. ”

"You may not be able to understand this. Taro Yuan lowered his head and picked up a cat and followed the fur, and gradually stopped talking, and only the cat's bark remained in the room.

Xu Chunqiu hugged the mutilated orange cat and gently touched its mutilated forelimbs with his fingers.

She actually understands, she understands all of this.

In fact, they are all the same, the children under the hands of Renyazi and the orphans in the welfare home can only be picked up if they are beautiful, well-behaved and obedient.

Lu Xiu looked at Xu Chunqiu's side face and was silent for a while, then changed the topic and asked, "Then do you feel that the economy is under great pressure when you do this now?"

Taro Yuan smiled a little reluctantly: "Can it be big, tens of thousands of dollars a month." ”

Five figures, which is a rich second-generation company executive like Lu Xiu, or a popular artist like Xu Chunqiu, may be the price of a piece of clothing, but for ordinary people like Taro Yuan, it is tantamount to a mountain.

She led Lu Xiu around in a circle, carefully avoiding the cat under her feet.

"Rent, caregivers, cat food, cat litter, are all a lot of expenses. ”

"Then the adoption at the aid station is all free adoption, right, that is, there is no charge at all on your side?"

"That's right," Taro Yuan smiled helplessly, "not to mention the fee, few people are willing to take them home for free adoption." ”
