The dim yellow light hung in the corner of the courtyard, and it was vaguely clear that the entire courtyard was filled with iron cages, some of which contained all kinds of cats and dogs. The rancid smell around him was mixed with the cold wind, which made Gou Rixin can't help but gause. The new cats and dogs gnawed frantically at the cage and let out a low growl. Gou Rixin squinted his eyes slightly, but he was at a loss for what to do about the situation in front of him. Every cage where cats and dogs are kept is locked.

Memories of previous lives flooded into his mind, and he was imprisoned and slaughtered. Could it be that the cat life in this life is going to stop?

Gou Rixin suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he stretched out his claws, desperately picking at the locks and cages, more crazy than those cats and dogs who were eager to escape. He can't die here, he's worked so hard, how can he give up halfway.

Gou Rixin screamed and roared, and there were blood stains on the iron cage, but he was still biting. His furious mood made him feel no pain at all, and he just wanted to survive.

The small movement caused the dog in the cage to be restless and roar angrily.

"Don't make any noise!" a man walked into the courtyard with a stick, swept around with a gloomy face, and struck the dog that barked the most fiercely.

At that moment, the iron cages around him trembled, and the dog cowered in the corner, grinning at the man.

"Look for death!" the man picked up a slender iron rod from the ground, poked it through the hole in the cage, and poked it at the dog's body. The dog was in pain, squeaked and curled into a ball, and did not dare to bark again.

The man snorted coldly and counted the number of cats and dogs in the cage around the yard. He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket again, calculated it carefully, and finally smiled on his face, "Almost, enough." ”

The phone rang, and the man answered the phone with a smile, "Boss Yu... Tomorrow is definitely OK, dog meat is enough... Oh, the chef from Vietnam, congratulations... But this cat is not easy to find, hehe... Then the price... Okay, then it's decided, and tomorrow will be delivered on time... Guaranteed to be not sick, all fresh..."

The sound gradually disappeared behind the closed door, Gou Rixin slammed into the iron cage and began to bite hard. He had never been more desperate, and the fear of death was all over him. Even if you know that you have nine lives, who can guarantee it?

Who can guarantee whether he will wake up after he dies this time, whether he will have memories, whether he will meet Qiao Ming again, and whether he will let Qiao Ming understand him. He didn't have the courage to gamble on all these unknowns.

His mouth was full of blood and rust, but the wire on the cage was still as hard as ever, he bit one and pulled it back, his gums suddenly hurt sharply, he covered his mouth and screamed in pain, his mouth was overflowing with blood, and one of his front teeth was crumbling.

Gou Rixin fell into the iron cage, and the pain in his palm and mouth made him lose all his thoughts.

Damn, don't say if you can bite off the wire, even if you bite off one, can it bite out an escape opening in one night!

He spat out a mouth full of blood, covered his face and curled up into a whimpering cry, silently reciting Qiao Ming's name in his heart. Tomorrow, tomorrow must find a chance to escape. The moment the man opens the cage, he must escape!

Qiao Ming, Qiao Ming··· He'll definitely go back.

The lights in the yard suddenly went out, the cold wind was biting, and some cats and dogs couldn't stand howling. When they were caught, they did not eat a drop of water, and there was nothing around to protect them from the cold, so they were likely to freeze to death in this cold winter night. On this day, isn't it a natural refrigerator?

Gou Rixin huddled in the corner of the cage, curling himself as much as he could. But the cold around him still pierced his muscles and bones like needles, and he shivered from the cold. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and Gou Rixin gritted his teeth, trying to sober himself. He heard the meow of the kitten, and the voice became weaker and weaker, and the mother cat wailed in despair, which was bitter and piercing.

I don't know how long it took, Gou Rixin froze and stiffened all over. He gritted his teeth and stood up, endured the pain of a knife cut and began to walk around the iron cage, he wanted to hold on until dawn, that was his only hope.

The cold wind of the night, mixed with a little moisture, whistled and roared in the yard, taking away the desperate groans of stray cats and dogs. Gou Rixin took a breath softly, walked to the edge of the iron cage, and stretched out his paws from between the holes, as if it was snowing.

There was a sudden creak all around, and the wooden door quietly opened, and a small black figure came out of the crack in the door, and hurriedly closed the door again. It was pitch black outside, and the black shadow stood still, and a faint flashlight flashed, illuminating only the one under the black shadow's feet.

Gou Rixin narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a pair of blue sneakers.

The black shadow cautiously approached the iron cage in the yard, and several cats and dogs barked vigilantly, but they also turned into miserable squeaks. The faint light of the flashlight swept little by little, and the thin black shadow suddenly stopped in front of a cage, and with a bang, Gou Rixin keenly pricked up his ears, which was the sound of iron colliding.

Reflecting a glittering white light, the shadow pulled out a ring of keys from his pocket, slowly rummaged through them, pinched one of them and locked it onto the cage.

With a click, the lock opened. Gou Rixin held his breath.

The closed iron door was pulled open, and the cat in the cage first roared vigilantly, and the black shadow in front of the meeting did not move, and rushed out of the cage, jumped on the wall, and escaped.

The black shadow hung the lock back in its place, picked up a small flashlight, and began to slowly sweep it one by one.

"Meow-" Gou Rixin let out a low roar, his paws hooking the iron net and shaking.

"Huh?" the black shadow groaned suspiciously, and the light of the flashlight instantly poked in the direction of Gou Rixin.

Gou Rixin meowed, his eyes wide, his arms sticking out of the hole in the iron net and shaking, asking for help from the shadow.

The black shadow laughed, and there was a hoarse voice in it, and Gou Rixin recognized that it was a girl.

Finally moved to Gou Rixin's cage, Gou Rixin instantly withdrew his claws and screamed mournfully. I saw that the girl was tightly covered, revealing only a pair of eyes, and she took a flashlight to shine the number on the lock, and then looked down in the keys.

There was a cough in the room, followed by a man shouting, "Kiki?"

The little girl looking for the keys was startled, and her hands trembled, and the keys fell to the ground with a clatter. Seeing this, Gou Rixin screamed violently, his claws hooked the iron cage and shook it vigorously.

The movement in the room was getting louder and louder, and it was obvious that the man had gotten up, and the girl looked at the door, and then at Gou Rixin in the cage, and picked up the key on the ground in a panic.

"Seven, seven, seven..." She kept silently thinking in her heart, but the more anxious she was, the more her hands trembled, and the little girl bit the flashlight in her mouth and continued to rummage tremblingly.

The dim lights in the courtyard suddenly turned on, and the gate creaked.

"Kiki, what are you doing!" the man appeared at the door and yelled coldly, "You come back to me!"

Gou Rixin screamed angrily, took a few steps back, arched himself, and slammed his head against the cage door.

"Seven!"

The little girl turned a deaf ear to the man's words, hurriedly pinched the key in her hand and inserted it into the lock hole, and turned it around.

"Little rabbit, I'm in trouble again!" the man strode over, snatched the key from the little girl's hand, and kicked the little girl in the leg, "It's tired and crooked!"

Gou Rixin's head was dizzy, he ran to the cage door with a roar, stared at the iron lock, and suddenly stretched out his claws and poked out.

The girl screamed in pain and was kicked to the ground, but she didn't cry, just rubbed her legs and stood up tremblingly.

The man swept around the stray cats and dogs in the cage, and when he saw that there were not a few missing, he snorted coldly and looked at the girl, "Who are these cats and dogs for, you little white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!"

The iron lock was hooked by the claws, and with a squeak, Gou Rixin was about to push the lock out of the keyhole, when the man turned his head suddenly, and a man and a cat looked at each other.

"Damn, this cat is pretty smart!" said the man, raising his hand to relock it.

Gou Rixin roared angrily, stretched out his claws and scratched quickly. The man instantly retracted his hand, cursed irritably, and casually pulled out an iron rod from the cage next to him and was about to whip it towards Gou Rixin, when the girl next to him suddenly pounced and hugged the man.

"You little rabbit cub, isn't it a rebellion! Lao Tzu took a lot of effort to catch it, do you know!"

Seeing this, Gou Rixin hurriedly continued to push the lock, and the man cursed, holding the iron rod and slapping it directly on Gou Rixin's outstretched claws.

A scream suddenly came, and the iron rod smashed on the iron lock and Gou Rixin's claws, and the flesh and blood blurred in an instant. But at the same time, the lock also fell.

"Damn! you let me go!" Seeing this, the man pushed the girl to the ground, and the door of the iron cage was slammed open as the stick fell.

The black cat flew out with a swish, fell to the ground and flipped over, and then rushed up the wall in a panic, disappearing in the blink of an eye. In the courtyard, only a few bloody footprints remained.

"Damn!" the man scolded, pointing to the girl who was sitting on the ground, speechless in anger.

The girl rolled over and got up, and ran back to the house as if she were running.

Gou Rixin fled out in embarrassment, and ran desperately in one direction without daring to turn back, until he was exhausted and saw no chasing figure behind him, and then he limped to a halt, panting breathlessly.

Snowflakes drifted across the sky, making the ground wet and muddy, and he licked the blood from his paws and whimpered in his throat. The pain all over his body was like a broken bone, cold and hungry, coupled with the potholes, damp and cold cement road, making it difficult for Gou Rixin to move an inch.

He lost his way and stood there looking around in confusion. I don't know where I am now, but it's pitch black, with only a few low-rise bungalows. Not far away, rows of large trucks roared by, and the rumbling surroundings trembled like the ground shaking. Gou Rixin shrank up, trembling and shaking.

In front of me was a curved slope, and the surrounding atmosphere was cold, mixed with pungent car exhaust, and it was impossible to tell which direction to choose. If you choose the wrong one, you may not even survive tonight. He was frozen stiff, and his brain had lost the sense of judgment.

Wait, wait for the next car to come, and see him go in that direction.

Gou Rixin decided to take a gamble, it was already the greatest luck to be able to escape, it was better to freeze to death than to be eaten, right? It can also choose a dead position.

I don't know if Qiao Ming will be sad for herself, what is she doing now, whether she is anxiously looking for herself everywhere, or sleeping without care. When he dies, he must first quietly go back to see her, see if she will be sad, whether she will feel sorry for herself, and if not, he will scare her to death. Gou Rixin began to think in a daze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

In my mind, I thought about the first four days, the white sky was drifting with snow, Qiao Ming was wearing an off-white down jacket, stepping on the snow, and his smile was bright and moving. He rushed towards Qiao Ming excitedly, and the other party also opened his arms.

A beam of car lights shone suddenly, and Gou Rixin was stunned for a moment, was there still golden light before he died?

It's a headlight!

The wind howled and rolled up the snowflakes on the ground, Gou Rixin took a step back and shook his head, looked at the flashing taillights, and chased after him. The car disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps, the corner is hope, he really doesn't want to die.

The car was long gone, and Gou Rixin was physically exhausted, so he could only limp forward. It took almost all his strength to climb that part of the slope, and he stopped and looked ahead.

In front of you is a dark and gloomy forest and meadow, like a park, beyond which you can see the brightly lit high-rise buildings. Gou Rixin's eyes were full of enthusiasm in an instant, and he roared excitedly, did he win the bet?

But he didn't have any strength at all. Trembling, he finally took a step, but his legs went weak and he fell to the ground. Obviously, hope is at hand.

Gou Rixin rested on the cold ground for a long time, and the rustle of the cold wind blowing through the woods was in his ears, with a more clammy and cold breath. Unable to go any longer, he gasped and got up, slowly jumped over the weeds beside the road, and jumped into the fence of the park.

Stumbling in the cold and dark woods, Gou Rixin finally stepped on a flat path, the pain on the soles of his feet was finally no longer tortured, he stopped and licked the wound again, and was suddenly stunned.

He actually smelled the smell of grilled sausages.

There has never been such hunger and cold, Gou Rixin no longer cares about the pain of the wound, and follows the smell of nothing, and rushes away. After running along the path for a long time, and gradually seeing some children's playground equipment, Gou Rixin became more and more excited, and finally stopped next to a hut, with faint advertising lights lining the surroundings, and bursts of fragrance from the trash cans next to him.

Gou Rixin swallowed his saliva, he meowed, and stepped closer. A shrill roar suddenly came, and he was so frightened that he was all furious and lowered his body. I saw a stray cat of color suddenly popping out of the garbage can, staring at Gou Rixin's grinning angry scream.

Gou Rixin stretched out his paws vigilantly, squinted his eyes slightly and confronted the cat. In order to survive, he doesn't mind wrestling with a stray cat.

There was another knock in his ears, and there was a churning in another garbage can, and a yellow and gray stray cat jumped out of it, standing on the edge of the trash can and staring at Gou Rixin with the same vigilance.

Two-on-one, Gou Rixin withdrew his claws and stepped back step by step.

A foul smell came from the sewer manhole cover on the side of the road, which made Gou Rixin's empty stomach even more uncomfortable, and he moved his steps, trying to discern the smell around him, trying to find another shop that sold food, or at least a place to escape from the cold.

Squatting on a dirty mat, Gou Rixin hated the iron door in front of him, the piercing sound resounded all around, and the cold door made every trace of sweet taste unattainable. He was so discouraged that he had to stop.

Tonight, let's be hungry like that.

In front of the toy store opposite, there is a table covered with a cotton wool quilt, which is probably used to set up a stall during the day. Gou Rixin moved one step at a time, and finally walked over and got under the table.

"Meow-"

"Holy!"

Gou Rixin rolled over and jumped out, the wound on the soles of his feet was pressed, and there was a tearing pain. A meow under the table gave a warning, and Gou Rixin cursed secretly.

He looked at the windshield with red eyes, suddenly stood up, bit the corner of the cotton flannel, and pulled it back hard. The cat under the table was still meowing and growling, and Gou Rixin was furious, shook his head violently with the pain in his mouth, and ripped off the flannel.

The crumbling front front tooth finally fell off, and he spat out a mouth full of blood, biting the flannel and walking under the eaves of the opposite roof. Finally, he got into the warm flannel and lay there motionless, with the sweet smell of roasted sausages between his noses.

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the other corner of the flannel ball, and a thin little wild cat trembled and cautiously burrowed into the ball.

Gou Rixin closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In order to survive, he bullies the small with the big, and he doesn't mind anymore.
