Whoosh!

Earlier than usual, Zhang Zi'an was woken up.

Although fireworks have been banned in Binhai City, they can still be set off in remote suburbs and counties, and the sound can be heard far away in the secluded early morning, and the yield of this firework bomb is estimated to be not small......

I heard that there are 10-inch diameter fireworks shells, which are about as powerful as cannonballs, and you can hear them in half the city.

Today is New Year's Day, and the new year has arrived.

Zhang Zi'an hadn't slept enough, he was a little sleepy, he looked at his mobile phone, and silently calculated how many red envelopes he missed in various groups at 0:00 last night, and he was distressed as if he had missed hundreds of millions, and then he was in good spirits.

In the past, when his parents ran a pet store, festivals such as New Year's Day and Spring Festival would also be closed for a few days to accompany him to the park or the surrounding area for a short trip when he was young, but he was alone, even if he had nowhere to go on vacation, it was better to open as usual. He gave Wang Qian, Li Kun and Lu Yiyun a day off, so that they didn't have to come over today.

Wang Qianli Kun's final exams have ended, and this kind of national statutory holiday should go home to accompany his family, and then go back to school to prepare for the make-up exam.

Lu Yiyun had a falling out with his family before, but after all, blood is thicker than water, and when he misses his relatives during the festive season, he may also send a few text messages to greet him, and maybe he can ease the relationship......

Since you can't sleep anymore, just get up.

He sat up quietly and dressed as he looked around the room.

The firecracker just now woke up the elves briefly, but it was too early, the sky was completely dark, and even Xinghai, who was always very energetic, turned his head and continued to sleep, not to mention Fina, who could sleep peacefully when the sky fell. The old tea breathes long and steady, and the rhythm of one exhalation and one inhale is as precise as an airwave watch.

"Whoa—aw—raw brisket—" In addition to the old habit of talking in sleep, the snow lion has had another problem of smacking his lips while sleeping, and he really wants to find an opportunity to throw a cockroach into his mouth......

A little farther away, the Flying Mars sleeping in the corner still has a night light, and the faint light is the only light source in the room at present. Recently, Pegas's sleep has been much better, and he wakes up less often at night, but strangely, it also has an extra problem - it always kicks its legs while sleeping, and I don't know what it is kicking......

Zhang Zi'an got dressed, went to the toilet to solve his physiological problems, and quietly left the bedroom.

Zhan Tian, who was lying near the glass door, raised his head vigilantly, and when he saw that it was Zhang Zi'an, he continued to lie down with peace of mind.

Zhan Tian is worthy of being a candidate for the former ace police dog, and he is much more powerful than Pegasus in terms of alertness, and he will be the first to react whenever the wind blows.

Zhang Zi'an opened the roller shutter door and beckoned to it, "Zhantian, go, go out with me." ”

Zhan Tian obediently walked over, he fastened the leash, and led it out of the store.

It was such an early morning, it was dark outside, the street lights were still on, there was almost no one on the street, and the wind was blowing from the suburbs, with a faint smell of gunpowder. Zhang Zi'an led it along the street, and unconsciously slipped to the door of Uncle Li's restaurant.

The lights were turned on early in the restaurant, and the old couple could be seen busy through the glass, but there were no customers yet. In the catering industry, you have to get up very early and prepare the semi-finished food before the customers arrive.

He pushed the door in and greeted, "Uncle, aunt, happy New Year!"

Uncle Li and Aunt Li were meeting each other, and when they heard this, they raised their heads in surprise, "Ah, Master Zhang, Happy New Year!"

They knew that Zhang Zi'an had been very busy recently and hadn't come to their store for a long time.

"I woke up early today, so I stopped by to have a look when I had nothing to do. Zhang Zi'an smiled, "Bring me a bowl of wontons." By the way, give it another bowl, a large bowl, pure meat filling. ”

He found a chair and sat down, patting Zhan Tian's head, "Sit." ”

Zhan Tian obediently squatted next to him.

"Well, this dog is so well tamed, let it sit and sit, much better than our country dogs. Aunt Li looked at Zhan Tian with envy, "We used to have a big wolf dog at home, but then we were trapped......"

"Got it?" Zhang Zi'an just woke up, he was afraid that the sleeping elves would be noisy, and he hadn't washed his face yet, his brain was temporarily ineffective, and he didn't understand which words they were.

Aunt Li drew a circle, "It's a wooden pole, with a wire hoop on the pole, which is specially used to set up dogs." In the past, there were people in the city who took dogs, because the dogs in the city were expensive and well-raised, but now there are too many monitoring probes in the city, and those who take dogs have all gone to our countryside. They usually work together with two or three people, one drives a car or a motorcycle, and the other sits in the back seat, as long as the dog walks on the side of the road, they run away like a gust of wind! The wire ring is strangled on the dog's neck, and the momentum of the motorcycle is added, and the average dog is immediately stunned, even if the stronger dog does not faint, at least it is strangled to foaming at the mouth, and the strength to struggle is gone......

Aunt Li recalled the dog that was taken away in her hometown, and couldn't help but sigh, even if the dog was just a common miscellaneous dog in the countryside, not a precious breed, but after all, a bone was fed by her own hands and a bowl of rice was taken away like this, who could not feel distressed.

Zhang Zi'an suddenly realized that he had also heard of the dog trap, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, maybe there were fewer such things in the city, and it was more serious in the countryside. Especially now that many young people in the countryside have gone to work in big cities, the rest are old, young, sick and disabled, and it is easy for people to take advantage of them.

"And what to do with these dogs when they're covered?" he asked again.

Aunt Li shook her head, "I don't know very well, I heard that those people bring the set of dogs back to the place where they live, and the expensive dogs will be sold to others, and the miscellaneous dogs will be sold to dog meat restaurants and the like...... My dog...... Hey......"

No one wants to spend money on her dog, and it is estimated that it will be sold to a dog meat restaurant.

Zhang Zi'an also sighed softly, there is still a possibility of getting it back if it is sold to a dog meat restaurant, if it is sold to a dog meat restaurant, I am afraid it will be ......

At this time, Uncle Li brought up the hot wontons and reprimanded: "On the first day of the new year, Master Zhang rarely comes to eat, don't you say that these things add to people's hearts! Hurry back to the back kitchen to help! I'm too busy!"

Aunt Li is not a vegetarian, so she immediately glared and said, "I said mine, what's your business! How do you know that Master Zhang doesn't like to listen to this?"

Zhang Zi'an was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he hurriedly played a round and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I like to listen to it, and it can be regarded as a long knowledge......"

"Dead old man, do you hear that?" Aunt Li ignored her, and her eyes widened.

Their husband and wife are always bickering, and they have long been accustomed to it, and it will not affect the relationship between husband and wife.

Uncle Li put the wontons on Zhang Zi'an's table and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, eat slowly, don't listen to this old woman's nagging, the dog in our family before may not have been taken away, maybe it was lost...... One morning, the courtyard door of our hometown was open, the dog was lying on the courtyard gate basking in the sun, I was squatting next to the pickles, and then the woman called me in the house, so I went into the house, and it was only a few minutes before and after, and I couldn't find it after I came out. ”

"According to what you say, do you blame me?" Aunt Li stopped doing it when she heard it, "I called you because I had something, you knew that someone was leashing a dog nearby, and you didn't close the courtyard door before entering the house?"

Uncle Li also blew his beard and glared, "How can I think so much? You are in the house as if you are urging your life, I answered and you still screamed, I thought you fell and hit your head, and you didn't even have time to wipe your hand after pickling pickles, so I hurried into the house to see what was wrong with you, and it turned out to be a trivial matter, and I lost the dog for this......"

Zhang Zi'an took advantage of the fact that they hadn't quarreled yet, and hurriedly followed Uncle Li's words and said: "Actually, Uncle Li, you're right, the dog is not leashed, right? It may indeed be that he got lost, for example, when a car passed by on the road, it chased after it when it looked interesting......"

He knew his words weren't convincing, but it was better than pretending to be dumb.

Uncle Li nodded heavily, and said: "I heard people say, this dog has spirituality when he is old, and our dog is not young, maybe he feels that time is running out, and he left us to find a quiet place to breathe...... It doesn't have to be taken away!"

He repeatedly emphasized that it was not necessarily taken away, maybe there was still a thought in his heart about what happened, because being taken away by others is a dead end, and if he is lost or something, he may be able to die right.

This also happens to reflect that Uncle Li loves the dog and does not want to imagine that it has suffered a tragic fate.

Aunt Li muttered a few times, and was about to refute her wife, when she heard the sound of boiling water in the back kitchen, Zhang Zi'an hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, your dog is so well-trained, but you must be careful, don't be taken away by others......"

With that, she trotted to the back kitchen and poured boiling water into the thermos.

"This old woman knows how to bluff all day long...... Master Zhang, don't take it to heart. Uncle Li glared at her back, then turned his head to Zhang Zi'an and smiled.

"It's okay, I don't mind. Zhang Zi'an smiled, "Uncle Li, don't greet me, hurry up and hurry up, I'll eat by myself." ”

"Hey, then you eat slowly. "The preparation in the morning was very heavy, Uncle Li said a few polite words, and also turned back to the kitchen.

Zhang Zi'an lowered his head and scooped up a wonton, put it in his mouth with the soup, and tasted the temperature just right. He added a little more chili pepper and pepper, and then looked left and right, it was too early, and there were no other customers at this time, so he put another paper bowl of pure meat wontons on the ground, and beckoned Zhan Tian to breakfast. If someone else was eating, he wouldn't do it, saving him the need to worry about others.

A bowl of hot wontons went down his stomach, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his nose, and his whole body warmed up.

Zhan Tian also finished eating the wontons, and it could be seen that he liked to eat them a lot, and even drank a lot of soup.

Zhang Zi'an put the money on the table, greeted the back kitchen, and led Zhan Tian out of the store.

It took about twenty minutes to eat breakfast, the sky was a little brighter, and there were more pedestrians on the road.

He led Zhan Tian for a while, and when he passed by a street lamp pole, it happened that the street light went out, and then out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a copy paper on the street lamp pole.

Normally, he doesn't pay attention to this, thinking that it is nothing more than a deceptive little advertisement for an old military doctor to treat skin diseases or a rich woman borrowing seeds to give birth, but this morning it was too idle, so he stopped and glanced at it. The paper was glued to the lamp pole and swayed gently in the morning breeze.

Dog Hunting Notice:

At around 16:40 p.m. on December 30, when I was walking my dog near the family home of Coastal University, the white Samoyed, who was walking with me, saw a stray cat chasing after me, and suddenly disappeared at the corner of a residential building, which has not been found so far.

Its name is Tuan Tuan, a female dog, only 3 years old this year, about half a meter tall and about 1.1 meter long, and is used to eating with her left teeth, so her left tooth is slightly worn.

Tuan Tuan is our family's pistachio, and my parents are so distressed that they can't sleep or eat for several days in a row. If there are well-wishers who find Tuantuan, I am willing to reward 10,000 yuan and will never break my promise.

If someone sees it beautiful and takes it away, please do it and return it, we will never hold it responsible, and we are also willing to give it a lot of money. If you are also a dog lover, I would like to buy a purebred Samoyed as a gift for you.

Tuan Tuan is not a purebred Samoyed, and it really isn't worth much.

Behind the text is a photo of a Samoyed, Zhang Zi'an can see at a glance that sure enough, as the owner said, this Samoyed is very beautiful, but it is indeed not a purebred.

There is a string of phone numbers left in the payment, and there is a sentence: Please keep it for a few days after the sanitation master sees it, and I am responsible for cleaning up the notices I posted, thank you!

Zhang Zi'an stopped to take a closer look, and from the words of this notice, he could feel the master's carefulness and anxiety. A purebred Samoyed is generally only a few thousand dollars, and its owner is willing to take 10,000 yuan to find this Samoyed that is not a purebred, assuming it is not a lie, then this family really loves it and does not want to lose it like this.

To be reasonable, the notice of finding a cat and a dog is very common in the city, and Zhang Zi'an has seen it several times, especially a dog like the sled three fools who are not wary of strangers, and strangers will follow as soon as they bark, which is too easy to lose. And now many people don't hold the leash when walking the dog, once the dog is attracted by something, it is difficult for people to catch up, just like the loss process on the notice.

It may be that under the influence of Uncle Li and his wife just now, Zhang Zi'an suddenly became a little suspicious, could this Samoyed be taken away?

He looked at the dog search notice again and noticed the words "suddenly disappeared", maybe the owner also felt that the disappearance process was a bit bizarre, so he would describe it like this.

But this is more than he thinks, maybe the dog is just a normal loss.

Zhan Tian sniffed around the lamp pole, Zhang Zi'an took it and said, "Let's go, Zhan Tian, let's go home." ”
