In the dimly lit basement, the temperature plummeted, and a faint musty smell came out of the debris on both sides.

The anxious Qiu Lan and Xu Chengyan followed behind the uncle, moving slowly through the narrow and crowded alley.

In the basement, which was as silent as night, only a few undulating breathing sounds remained.

"Cookie, are you there?"

A deep voice echoed around the basement, but there was no response.

Aren't the cookies here? So where do they go?

Qiu Lan, who was worried about the two little ones, panicked, completely unaware that there was a loose wooden board under her feet.

Gently land your foot, and gravity tilts instantly.

With a dull thud, her body slammed against the wall, her ankles twisting almost ninety degrees.

"Hmm!" Qiu Lan bit her red lip and snorted painfully, her brows furrowed, and a dense fine sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Are you okay?" Xu Chengyan, who was walking behind her, was quick and grabbed her arm so as not to let her fall to the ground.

"No, it's fine. Qiu Lan rubbed her sprained ankle and shook her head forcefully.

The priority was to find the cookies, and she didn't have time to worry about the small injury.

The uncle who was walking in front listened to the movement behind him and walked back, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just stepping on the board and twisting it. Qiu Lan pursed her red lips and responded with pain, "Let's continue to look for it." ”

"Okay, you still have to be careful, this basement is rarely entered, all the clutter is in disrepair, you should be careful. The uncle waved his hand, and after a few simple words, he turned around and walked forward.

Qiu Lan, who frowned, took a deep breath, landed gently, and followed step by step, Xu Chengyan followed her with a worried face, and carefully raised his hands on both sides of her side, blocking things that might fall at any time on both sides for her.

"Be careful, Doctor Qiu, be careful. Xu Chengyan opened his thin lips slightly, and kept reminding her that his eyes were scanning left and right, not only to find the figures of the two little guys, but also to see the surrounding scene clearly in the faint light.

"Okay, I see, thanks. Qiu Lan pursed her lips and nodded, thinking about cookies and cookies all the time.

Where the hell are they?

After walking for less than two minutes, the uncle in front of him stopped, turned around slowly, and sighed in his mouth, "Oh, you really ran here?"

"You didn't look. ”

Following the direction of the uncle's finger, Qiu Lan clearly saw a pair of pupils shining with green light.

"Cookies. She breathed nervously and let out a quick cry.

"Wang!"

A familiar dog barked loudly, Qiu Lan bit her lip excitedly, and a few crystal tears lingered in her eyes.

"Cookie, it's really you!" For a moment, she forgot the pain under her feet, strode to the front of the green eyes, leaned over slightly, and kneaded the familiar plate of big face.

The joy of being lost and regained was indescribable, and Xu Chengyan, who was standing on the side, silently looked at the scene in front of him, the tip of his nose was slightly sour.

"Okay, okay, just find it, let's go out, no one has come here for more than half a year, and it's strange to have tics inside. The uncle raised his hand to wipe the tip of his nose and coughed lightly.

"No, there are cookies, and the cookies haven't been found yet. Qiu Lan firmly held the leash on the back of the big golden retriever, turned around and looked back, her eyes dark.

She pursed her red lips, lowered her head and thought, and muttered in her mouth, "Cookie definitely won't come here for no reason, it's so dark here, the space is still small, the biscuit must be here!"

There was a hint of certainty in the deep voice, but once the cat was stressed, no matter who called it, it would not pay attention to it, and would hide in fear.

With so many crevices and small places in this dark basement, how could she find cookies?

"Uncle, I just saw that there is a door outside the basement, can you go and help me cover me, I'm looking for the cat here, I'm afraid it will run away." ”

After hearing her words, the uncle next to him hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "Okay, okay, I'll go to the door and watch, but you guys hurry up." ”

After speaking, the uncle turned around and left, Qiu Lan frowned, turned to look at the messy waste around her, and didn't know where to start.

Suddenly, a bright beam of light passed through her head and shone steadily on a dilapidated wooden cabinet in front of her.

"Doctor Qiu, there is a flashlight on the phone, let's start from the innermost part and search little by little, as long as the cookies are here, we will definitely be able to find them." ”

Xu Chengyan, who was holding his mobile phone, stared firmly at the person in front of him, his voice sonorous.

"Well, you're right. Qiu Lan nodded in agreement.

After being stunned for two seconds, she took out the mobile phone in her bag, turned on the flashlight, and tied the cookie's leash to a pillar next to it, "Cookie, you wait obediently, I'll go find the cookie, find it and we'll go home together." ”

After saying that, she gently touched the little head of the golden retriever, turned around and began to look for the figure of the biscuit in the gap.

"Cookies, cookies. ”

The light of the flashlight kept shooting in all corners, but it was not seen for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a rapid humming sound.

It was the big golden retriever next to it, and it was staring at a place, wagging its tail anxiously, and struggling to break free from the rope.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Lan walked to the big golden retriever's side, her eyebrows tightened, "Cookie, did you see the biscuits?"

No one knew if Cookie would understand her, only that he could hear it humming nervously.

The light of the flashlight moved along its line of sight, but Qiu Lan only saw one board after another, and saw nothing else.

She lowered her eyes and hesitated to untie the rope of the big golden retriever.

The little creature ran over with his legs pulled, sniffing at the edge of the planks all the time.

Suddenly, its footsteps stopped between two of the planks.

"Wow!"

"Could the cookies be there?" Xu Chengyan glanced sideways at the people around him and asked softly.

Qiu Lan, who had a solemn expression, didn't say anything, just nodded her head a few times, and stared at the wooden board with a cold gaze.

She walked over lightly and leaned over slightly.

The gap between the two boards was small and deep, and the light from the flashlight could not shine into it at all, and she could not see anything, but the big golden retriever had been anxiously circling around beside her.

"Officer Xu, can you help me move this board, I'm afraid the little guy is inside. Qiu Lan furrowed her brows, and there was a hint of concern hidden in her gentle tone.

"Hmm. Xu Chengyan nodded, strode up, held one end of the board steadily, and moved away from the heavy plank.

With a "bang", the board was put down on the wall next to it, and the situation inside was fully revealed.

A small fluffy ball was curled up tightly at the innermost end, two eyes looking out vigilantly, and the tail slightly hooked.

"Meow. ”
