Chapter XXIX
"I caught another one, there have been a lot of stray dogs recently," the strong man skillfully scooped up the net and complained unhappily in his mouth.
The wolf cub struggled in the blue fishing net, and at first it could see the open opening above its head, so it tried to climb out with all its might. But the strong man's eyes quickly buckled, and the opening of the fishing net was sealed tightly in an instant, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't escape.
The strong man threw the wolf on the truck, then grabbed the tail of the fishing net and threw the wolf into an iron cage, only to find that the truck was already locked up with many partners who had suffered the same thing.
In the laughter of the strong men, the truck started again, Zheng Xiuwen rushed out of his room in a panic, and shouted at the people on the truck, "What are you doing, why did you arrest it?"
The smile on the strong man's face froze, according to his judgment, the dog just now must be a stray dog, although it looks relatively healthy, and the hair is much cleaner than the average stray dog, but it is still very different from the pampered pet dog in the family, but I didn't expect that after being captured by myself, a little boy rushed out to stop it.
"Young man, what, this dog is your family?" The strong man only received an order to catch stray dogs in the city, so as not to have any more incidents of people being bitten by stray dogs, which of course does not include his own pet dogs.
Faced with this question, Zheng Xiuwen hesitated, but still answered truthfully, "It's not mine." Young Zheng Xiuwen didn't know what these strong men and this truck meant to the little wolf, although he had already regarded the little wolf as his closest partner in his heart, but the fact was that the little wolf was indeed a stray dog, and it was not a pet at home.
"That's okay, let's go," after the strong man was sure that he was not wrong, he didn't want to talk nonsense with Zheng Xiuwen anymore, and he slapped the iron edge of the big truck hard, making a screeching sound.
The truck drove out quickly, watching the golden ball representing the little wolf getting farther and farther away from him, Zheng Xiuwen could feel an unprecedented crisis, he took a step and ran out in the direction of the truck, but after just half a minute, the truck disappeared without a trace.
Zheng Xiuwen returned to his practice room in a depressed mood, "Pathos" had not been finished playing, but Zheng Xiuwen could not continue. Obviously, those people and the big truck were specifically hunting stray dogs on the street, but Zheng Xiuwen didn't know what they were going to do to the stray dogs after the arrest. He thought in hindsight that if he had said that the little wolf was his pet dog, then everything would not have happened.
Zheng Xiuwen's stunned mood lasted until the evening, and his parents also found out that something was wrong with their son, so they did not ask Zheng Xiuwen to continue practicing the piano after dinner, but asked him to watch TV with them. Zheng Xiuwen's mother tried to ask a few questions, she wanted to know what happened during the day that caused her son to have such a big emotional change, but no matter how she asked Zheng Xiuwen, she refused to say a word from her mouth, so she had to give up.
Zheng Xiuwen's mother felt that maybe her son was too tired to practice the piano during this time, after all, there must have been a lot of hardships behind the piano skills with such great progress, so she thought that there might be no special reason for her low mood, just let her son relax and rest.
For the first time, a family of three sat together and watched a prime-time soap opera, and when the advertisements were interspersed in the middle, Zheng Xiuwen's father adjusted the TV to the news channel. The news anchor still broadcast a piece of city news with his trademark smiling expression, "The latest news, due to a number of incidents of stray dogs hurting people in the city, the mayor has immediately ordered the relevant departments to immediately take preventive measures to prevent the same situation from happening again." Today, the stray dog inspection brigade composed of people's police, social volunteers and ordinary volunteers has captured the first batch of 78 stray dogs in the most densely populated living areas, and they were all sent to the city's stray animal shelters.
While the anchor was broadcasting the news, the TV screen switched to the scene of the shelter, and Zheng Xiuwen suddenly became nervous, he saw the big truck that appeared in the afternoon, and the iron cages with stray dogs on the truck.
The footage showed a large number of busy people, who were in a hurry to place the stray dogs caught on the truck in a suitable place in the shelter, and in a passing shot, Zheng Xiuwen felt as if he saw the shadow of a little wolf.
"I finally did a good thing and took these stray dogs away, and our area will be much safer in the future," Zheng Xiuwen's father's words revealed a rare satisfaction with the government department.
"It's true, when I used to come home at night, I could always see a golden stray dog on the corner of the street, it seemed to wander around our house a lot, so I had to take a detour every time, and it really didn't seem to be seen tonight," Zheng Xiuwen's mother is completely a gloating expression, she has always been afraid of large canine animals, in her eyes those stray dogs may go crazy at any time and rush over to bite her, so Zheng Xiuwen's mother is afraid to avoid it, and the government has come forward to arrest all these stray dogs is the best way to solve the problem.
"Mom, what does euthanasia mean?" Zheng Xiuwen was silent for a night, and finally spoke now, he still couldn't fully understand what euthanasia meant, but he had already guessed that it was not a good thing.
"Well, how can I say it," Zheng Xiuwen's mother hesitated, after all, she felt that her son was still young and didn't need to be exposed to such a thing as death too early, so she wanted to say something casually to fool the past, but she saw a very sincere look in her son's eyes.
"Euthanasia is to use a painless method to let these stray dogs die," Zheng Xiuwen's mother finally said truthfully, but she tried to make her tone more tactful.
After Zheng Xiuwen listened, he jumped up from the sofa at once, ran down the stairs without saying a word, and rushed out from the gate on the first floor.
"Xiaowen, it's so late, where are you going to run?" Zheng Xiuwen's mother opened the window and shouted loudly at her son's back.
