Chapter Seventy-Three: Wandering

The travel speed of the bus has become faster since it has picked up enough people and got on the highway.

Li Rui hid under the car for a long time, but he felt that after the bus got off the highway at this time, it slowly stopped in one place.

Immediately after, there was the sound of the doors opening, and the passengers got out of the car.

The cacophony was constantly ringing.

Li Rui cheered up from his groggy state, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the chaotic sounds.

In the end, he realized that it was time to get out of the car for lunch.

Li Rui took out a few small dried fish from the bag with difficulty, and then ate them.

He also had to eat something to restore the energy his body had expended.

After eating, he began to fall asleep again, which was the most common practice he used to do when he was a stray cat, so as to maximize the conservation of physical strength and avoid causing an increase in consumption.

In this way, Li Rui can't remember how long he stayed under the car.

I only remember that when the bus stopped completely, and the attendant began to talk to the passengers about the destination, Li Rui jumped out from under the car with a small dried fish in his mouth and ran into the distance.

This caused a wave of exclamation from the crowd.

"Why did a cat run out from under the car, still holding something. ”

"Looks like it's still a pet cat! Which of you has a cat?"

"Nope!"

"Neither do I!"

“………”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and there was some surprise when they looked at Li Rui's back as he gradually moved away.

Li Rui hurriedly ran into the green belt of the road, and then entered a thousand artificially planted groves, and disappeared.

On this day, in a small town, a stray cat came here with a dirty bag in its mouth.

He made eye for the signs on the road, and continued to run.

Li Rui's current condition is extremely bad, and the exhaustion from his body makes him a little overwhelmed, and he also feels drowsy when he runs.

He mustered himself and continued to trot.

When they were thirsty, they looked for some clean water to drink, and when they were hungry, they ate the small dried fish in the bag.

The bag of small dried fish has gone from being full to now about to bottoming out.

"Hey, there's a cat here!"

A bear child mischievously picked up a small gravel from the ground and threw it at Li Rui.

Li Rui was unaware for a while, and was thrown in the abdomen by a gravel.

He suddenly looked pained, screamed miserably, and the small dried fish in his mouth also fell down.

He turned his head to look at the mischievous bear child in resentment, then picked up the small dried fish that had fallen to the ground, endured the pain in his body, and ran forward quickly, and soon disappeared into the street.

Near noon, Li Rui was resting in a bush, his body shaking constantly, and his face was painful.

There was a faint scream.

He didn't know what was wrong with his body, only that there was unbearable pain all over his body.

He struggled to crawl through the grass, and he felt he needed water now.

Fortunately, there is a small puddle hidden in this grass, although the water in it is not very clear and a little turbid, but for Li Rui now, this is a life-saving thing.

He endured the pain in his body, drank a few sips of water, and then passed out under the stimulation of the pain.

At night, the stars in the sky are a little sparse, and the dark clouds that keep drifting in the distance slowly cover the already scarce stars.

Li Rui lay motionless in the grass, if it weren't for the constant ups and downs of his abdomen, others might think that this cat had gone to another world.

I don't know how long time passed, and Li Rui slowly regained consciousness.

He opened his eyes weakly, feeling a feeling of weakness coming from his body.

His hair was dull and covered in a layer of dust.

The body, which was still a little fat, became shriveled.

He seems to have returned to his pre-adopted days.

Li Rui struggled in the grass, let out a faint cry, and then stood up.

He came to the side of the dried fish, picked up the bag, and walked slowly out into the street.

Although his eyes revealed a tiredness that could not be concealed, he still looked determined.

Persist in moving forward step by step.

"Boom ......"

The dark clouds that had been brewing for a long time finally began to do their part.

Drops of water fell from the clouds to the earth, stirring up a puff of dust that had been dried by the scorching sun.

Li Rui walked towards a sunshade canvas that could shelter from the rain.

The icy rain hit him, washing away some of the dust.

Foul rain dripped from the hairs on his abdomen and fell to the ground.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a dull thunder in the sky.

He watched as the rain dripped on the ground, then dispersed into countless small droplets.

The breeze caressed his body, and Li Rui couldn't help but change from a squatting posture to curled up, his limbs shrunk under his body, lying on the cold cement floor.

He watched the rain splash and his thoughts drifted slowly into the distance.

He didn't know what happened to Chu Mo now.

Are you still anxiously looking for him?

He's been out for a week...

Under the same sky, in another city, there was still a cold light rain in the sky, although it was not as big as Li Rui's side.

Chu Mo held a printed leaflet in his hand and an umbrella in the other, and handed them out to passers-by.

"Hello, have you ever seen this cat? ”

Passers-by took the leaflet handed over by Chu Mo, glanced at it, and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen it. ”

This happened elsewhere as well.

The community has already sent it and checked the surveillance, but no trace of Li Rui was found.

Garfield on the other side is also talking to Blackie.

"Xiao Hei, did you really see the blue cat out of the community?"

Xiao Hei was a little helpless, looking at Garfield many times, "Yes, yes, I only know that he is out of the community, and I don't know the rest." ”

Garfield looked in the direction of the entrance of the community, a little puzzled.

He didn't know why Li Rui suddenly ran away from home.

He hadn't gotten any information before.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Li Rui's body is shaking incessantly, and his mental condition is getting worse and worse.

In a trance, he watched a man with an umbrella walking from the other side of the street.

A beam of a flashlight shone on him, and the man hesitated in the rain, then turned and walked in the direction of Li Rui.

In the cold, Li Rui felt that he was being picked up, and then there was warmth around him.

He couldn't hold on anymore and passed out.

The small dried fish in its mouth snapped and fell to the rain-soaked ground......

…………

Chu Mo returned home, his eyes were red, and he looked at the cat climbing frame in the corner in a daze.
