The two cats ate the canned cat food brought out by Xu Jie outside, but unfortunately these things can only be regarded as snacks for Mo, who has a lot of food.

In order to please Xu Jie, and to show his abilities to the kitten he was pursuing, Mo decided to grab something for the little civet to eat before accompanying him to the night market.

There aren't many prey to choose from in the city, and the black cat knows that its little raccoon doesn't like the smell of mice, so it chooses other prey.

Mo took Xu Jie to the largest park in the county, and the lighting in the park was not very good at night, so there were not too many pedestrians, only some young couples, who would find a corner where no one was in pairs to talk about love.

The black cat's goal is clear, it is the tallest cedar in this park.

When it came to the base of the tree, Mo asked Xu Jie to wait here, while it climbed up silently.

The dim light in the dark night could not hinder the cat's vision, and the pupils were expanded to the maximum, and Xu Jie stared at the cat figure that climbed the tree without blinking.

Looking at Mo's movements, Xu Jie soon knew what the black cat's prey was this time.

Because it was now branching out along the main trunk of the cedar, approaching a bird's nest.

I don't know what kind of bird the nest set up, and the semicircle forms a bowl and sits in the middle of the three branches, which seems to be about 30 or 40 centimeters in diameter, and the size of the bird that lives in it is not too small.

The black cat that crawled near the nest did not rush to make a move, it first shrank up and lay in the shadow of the branches to observe for a while, and then made sure that the birds inside were asleep, and then approached the nest little by little.

The black cat's strength is very well controlled when hunting, and the branch under his feet does not shake at any point when he walks.

Xu Jie could clearly see under the tree that as Mo got closer and closer to the bird's nest, the muscles on its body became tighter and tighter.

When he reached the right distance, Xu Jie saw Mo stop, his four claws together, and his whole body was like a full bow, which bounced out in an instant and fell directly into the bird's nest.

In an instant, a layer of bird feathers rose inside the nest, and the branches that served as the base of the nest began to shake up and down as if they had encountered a strong wind. But within a few minutes, the shaking stopped.

Ink bit the neck of the dead prey, dragging the bird down from the tree with ease.

Xu Jie trotted up like a victorious warrior.

Mo spit out the bird that was bitten to death by it to Xu Jie, and motioned for it to eat first.

Seeing the mighty appearance of the black cat, Xu Jie didn't know why he was proud.

It looked down at the prey that the black cat had hunted for it, and after a closer look, it felt that the bird looked very much like the Japanese grey magpie it had seen on TV a few days ago.

If memory serves, it seems that this bird is a protected animal in Japan, although it is only classified as a low-risk animal.

But cats don't care about this kind of thing, Xu Jie is just thinking about eating gray magpies, where is it better to eat.

Finding that Xu Jie didn't speak, Mo tilted his head to look at it, and then lowered his head and began to pluck the gray magpie on the ground with his mouth.

It felt that the little raccoon flower didn't eat because it didn't know what to do, so in this case, Namo helped it clean the bird feathers.

Soon there was a peculiar swallowing sound from the bottom of the coat tree, and by the time the two cats had left, the grey magpie was left with unedible feathers all over the ground.

Xu Jie, who had a full meal, didn't plan to go home yet, so Mo made several holes in the screen window on the third floor of Fujimoto Pet Hospital, and Mr. Fujimoto, who has always been a conscientious nurse, would definitely tell Mr. Fujimoto about it.

So if you go back now, you're likely to face an angry Dr. Fujimoto, so it's better to wait a little later, and wait until everyone in the Fujimoto family is asleep, and it's going back.

Although this will inevitably be talked about during the day tomorrow, it is not angry after all, and when the time comes, it will be working hard to be coquettish, selling cuteness, and the black cat will break the window screen, maybe it will pass like this.

After making up his mind, Xu Jie began to walk towards the night market according to the original plan.

Before he could go far, the black cat walking in front stopped, and Xu Jie, who was following behind him, shook his beard and stopped.

Finding that Mo seemed to be listening intently, Xu Jie also stretched out his head and propped up his ears to listen carefully, and soon he heard the sound of a sigh in the southwest corner of the park.

It is the most secluded corner of the whole park, because the forest is deep and the grass is dense, usually even during the day, few people go there, but now that the night is dark and the wind is high, who will go where?

The cat's curiosity is really a must-have, knowing that there is probably something wrong with the place where the sound is made, but Xu Jie can't help but think about it* is constantly encouraging it.

Fortunately, it still retained its senses, and just wanted to get up and leave, but found that Mo had already walked to the southwest corner one step earlier.

Xiudou sack, wait for me.

Seeing this, Xu Jie hurriedly got up and followed.

Although Mo was approaching the place where the sound was coming from, it walked cautiously, neither making a sound nor attracting attention.

Xu Jie followed behind it a little clumsily, carefully learning the movements of the black cat in front of him.

The two cats slowly approached the place where the sound was made, and when they got closer, Xu Jie saw that under a street lamp, there seemed to be an animal rummaging through the garbage can.

The rustling sound is the sound of the garbage colliding with each other when the animal is rummaging through the garbage can.

It turned out to be a wild dog rummaging for food, and Xu Jie was relieved to see this.

The curiosity has been satisfied, and Xu Jie plans to call the black cat in front of him to leave.

But at this moment, the dog, which had been rummaging in the garbage can for food, suddenly stopped its movements and turned its head to their side.

Seeing this, Mo, who had never relaxed his vigilance, quickly blocked Xu Jie behind him.

The dog seemed to sense something, a smile appeared on the face of the simple dog, and it said hoarsely to Mo and Xu Jie: "Young man, don't be nervous, I have no malicious intent." ”

As he spoke, he dug through the trash can a few more times with his paws, took out an empty can, and licked the remaining soup with his tongue.

Seeing that the dog didn't seem to have the intention of attacking, Mo and Xu Jie got out of the bushes.

At this time, Xu Jie had time to see the dog's appearance clearly.

It was an Akita dog, and this dog is very popular in Japan, and there are not many people who keep it.

This Akita is supposed to be of the Japanese breed because of its red coat color, white belly and paw inside, obtuse triangular head, thick triangular ears, and a pair of small-looking black eyes.

Judging from the appearance, this dog should be not young, because its coat color has begun to turn white, and the skin on the dog's mouth has begun to sag.

And its movements are very slow, and it does not have the energetic appearance of a prime-aged dog at all.

Xu Jietong Guò has studied with Dr. Fujimoto in the pet hospital these days, and roughly judged that this Akita dog should be between 12 and 15 years old.

This age is already old for a dog, so it's no wonder that his voice is so old when he first speaks.

But how does this dog become more and more familiar the more you look at it?

Confused, Xu Jie began to turn its fist-sized head desperately, thinking that he had seen the dog there.

Mo didn't care about Xu Jie's thoughts, after it came out of the bushes, he first looked at the Akita dog carefully, and then said, "You're not a dog in the neighborhood, I haven't seen you." ”

The old Akita dog smiled very kindly when he heard this, and said, "I used to live in the west of the city, and the wild dog gang over there was not very friendly, so I came here to beg for a living." I know who you are, this is your territory, don't worry, I'm just passing by, and I won't cause any trouble to your cat gang. ”

Mo Wenyan raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't look like a wild dog. ”

Hearing this, the old Akita lowered his head and paused for breath before he spoke: "Is it a wild dog that has anything to do with it, it's all in the past." ”

While they were talking, Xu Jie finally remembered that he had seen the Akita dog there.

So it poked its head out from behind Mo and asked the old Akita dog, "Sir, is your name Hachibu?" ”

The old Akita raised his head in surprise and replied, "How do you know?" ”

When Xu Jie heard it admit it, he said: "Your master is looking for you everywhere, and he printed the dog-hunting revelations in newspapers, and also pasted them on bulletin boards and abandoned telephone poles. ”

Hearing this, the elderly Akita dog turned his head to the shadow of the street lamp to prevent the two cats on the other side from seeing his expression, but said, "Shunsuke, is he okay?" ”

Xu Jie felt that the Shunsuke in the mouth of the old Akita should be its owner, so he said: "It's not good, he looks haggard, and he's been looking for you all the time." ”

Hearing this, the old Akita dog muttered to himself, "Shunsuke, why do you bother. ”

Saying that, the dog seemed to give up on continuing to look for food, turned around and dragged his tail to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Jie hurriedly asked, "Hey, old man, aren't you going home?" Your master is looking for you all over the county. ”

The old Akita dog stopped when he heard this, turned his head and stared at Xu Jie sharply with cloudy eyes and said, "Young man, you don't care about my affairs." ”

As he spoke, he walked away without looking back.

Xu Jie was choked by the old Akita dog's answer, and he almost didn't block himself in one breath.

After it finally cleared its breath, Xu Jie waved his paw angrily and said, "Even if I kindly fed the donkey, next time your master will die in a hurry, I won't take a second look." ”

The next day, Dr. Fujimoto carried Xu Jie to the windowsill on the third floor, pointed to the broken screen window that had not yet had time to be replaced, and nodded it on its head with his finger.

Although this disaster was not caused by himself, after all, Mo was so excited because of his own feelings, so Xu Jie lowered his ears and lowered his head, obediently accepting the doctor's education.

The lion cat, who was frightened by ink yesterday, got into the cat cage again and refused to come out.

Mr. Fujimoto thought about it for a while, went home and took Ah Zhong over, he hoped that the kind-tempered and temperamental/sexual/enthusiastic golden retriever could become friends with the lion cat.

Taking advantage of the time when the reserved workers came to change the screen windows, Xu Jie jumped to the ground and quickly ran downstairs to make a cameo at the front desk.

That morning, Xu Jie saw the young man named Shunsuke again, this time he was standing on the street handing out leaflets, and Xu Jie estimated that those leaflets were still printed with the same dog-seeking revelation.

Leaned on the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside for a long time, but Xu Jie didn't go out in the end.

It wasn't because it hated the attitude of the Akita dog yesterday and refused to help, but Xu Jie didn't know what to do.

The old Akita had made it clear that it didn't want to go home, so it certainly wouldn't have stayed where it had been looking for food last night. And Xu Jie is a cat now, and he can't speak human words, how can he express to the young man that he has seen the dog he lost?

You can't let it write with a pen in your mouth, it's too wicked, and if you're not careful, you might be killed by someone who is too frightened as a monster.

Just when Xu Jie was thinking nonsense, the leaflet in the hand of the young man named Shunsuke was distributed, and he left after him, and Xu Jie didn't see him for a while in the future.

This Sunday, because they learned in advance that they were going to clean up wild dogs, the Fujimoto family did not take Ah Zhong out.

Kenta also specially made a pet tag for Xu Jie, with his name and Mr. Fujimoto's phone number on it, and found a pet collar to hang up, and then put it on for Xu Jie.

Although he didn't like to wear this kind of thing, Xu Jie also knew that Kenta was doing it for his own good, so he didn't object.

It's just that there is suddenly an extra thing on its neck, which still makes it very unaccustomed, and it can't help but always kick it backwards.

Seeing this, Xiao Fat Dun hugged Xu Jie in his arms to comfort him, and said while combing it: "Just wear it for a week, and when the gang with the net leaves, I will help you take it off." ”

Early on Monday morning, when Xu left the door, he felt that the atmosphere on the street was very wrong, and the wild cats that used to be everywhere were now nowhere to be found, and even the old people who used to lead their dogs out for walks were gone.

The whole street is quiet, only people and cars, and the shadows left on the ground by the birds that occasionally fly through the sky.

It seems that those who no one has raised have found a place to hide, and some people estimate that the owners are afraid of trouble, so they have locked their pets at home.

Not long after, Xu Jie saw a pickup truck sprayed with city management, slowly driving past him, and in the body of the pickup truck, there was a big iron cage and two very strong nets.

I hope that the cat gang will spread the news widely enough this time, and no animal will be tricked.

Looking at those two things, Xu Jie thought silently.

But it didn't take long for its wish to be frustrated, and not long after the car turned the corner, Xu Jie heard a noise of people and the barking of dogs.

Listening to these voices, Xu Jie's heart tightened, could it be that the unlucky dog was caught.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie quickly turned his head and ran towards the place where the noise came from, and on the way, he magically met Shunsuke who was handing out flyers.

Following the sound, I found it, and sure enough, a dog had been locked in the big cage behind the pickup truck sprayed with the words "city management".

The dog curled up in the corner of the big iron cage motionless, unable to tell whether it was good or bad, but the conspicuous red fur clearly showed Xu Jie's identity.

Although I don't know what will happen to the dogs who were captured by these dog catchers, I know that it won't be any better when I think about it, not to mention that the dog still has an owner.

Speaking of the master, wasn't the guy named Shunsuke just now still handing out flyers at the mouth of the alley? We need to get him over and save the dog.

Thinking so, Xu Jie immediately turned around and ran towards the mouth of the alley.

Shunsuke Toda stood at the entrance of the alley as usual today, handing out the revelation of his dog's dog to passers-by.

He is a sophomore at the county university, and he has taken almost a week off work in order to find his dog.

The class leader just called him and said that the teacher was not giving him leave, so he had to go back to school after today.

The dog hadn't been found yet, he really didn't have the heart to go to class, and just when he was standing at the intersection blankly, suddenly a raccoon cat rushed over from the side of the street and grabbed his trouser leg and dragged it inside.

Shunsuke was dragged a few steps by Xu Jie, and then he saw its meaning from the cat's movements, so he asked, "Kitten, do you want me to go with you?" ”

Xu Jie let go of his mouth when he heard this, nodded at him, and then ran back.

Seeing this, Shunsuke Toda ran behind Xu Jie, and happened to meet the city management pickup truck that was driving out.

Looking at the familiar color locked in the big iron cage behind the pickup truck, Shunsuke rushed over without thinking about it, standing in the middle of the road and reaching out to stop the car.

When the driver of the pickup truck saw a person suddenly popping out of the road, he immediately stepped on the brakes urgently, and then stuck his head out of the window and shouted: "Stop the car in the middle of the road, you don't want to die?" ”

But Shunsuke didn't care about any danger at this time, he ran over and grabbed the pickup driver's hand and said, "Uncle, the dog in your cage is mine." ”

The pickup driver looked Shunsuke up and down when he heard this, and then said, "You can't say yes, just show me some proofs." ”

Hearing this, Shunsuke hurriedly put the backpack on his back, took out the dog license and epidemic prevention certificate of Babu from it, handed it over and said, "Uncle, look, this is the dog license, this is the epidemic prevention certificate." Hachibu really is my dog. ”

The uncle who drove the car and his helper sitting in the passenger seat looked at the cage for a long time with the dog license, and finally determined that this was the dog in the photo.

After confirming that the dog has an owner, the assistant is responsible for unlocking the lock and letting the dog out, while the uncle who drives the car says to Shunsuke with a straight face: "Young man, you must take care of your dog." How can it run around the street without a dog tag or with a person, and what if it bites someone? ”

Shunsuke obediently bowed his head to be trained when he heard this, and repeatedly said that he would never do this again.

In fact, their family's Hachibu has a dog tag, but this dog doesn't like to take it, so Shunsuke will follow it, and he will only put it on when he goes out to walk the dog, and he usually takes it off when he is at home.

This time, Hachibu ran out by himself, of course, it was impossible to carry a dog tag, but Shunsuke still felt that he didn't take good care of his big dog, so he still obediently listened to the training.

While they were talking, the driver's assistant took the elderly Akita dog with him, and the dog was obviously excited to see his owner, and his tail was about to break.

Seeing the pickup truck sprayed with big characters on city management leave, Shunsuke wanted to leave with his dog after thanking Xu Jie, but found the Akita dog lying on the ground, refusing to move no matter how he dragged it.

Since you can't take it away, let's take it away, Shunsuke, who thought so, bent down and wanted to hold the Akita dog that was not too big in his arms.

Helplessly, the dog seemed to notice his master's movements in advance, jumped up and ran out, not letting him hug him.

After that, Shunsuke tried his best, but the old Akita dog was like being fixed on the ground, saying that he would not go home with his master.

After tossing for a while, both the owner and the dog were tired, and Shunsuke gave up and sat directly next to the dog.

After a while, Xu Jie, who was on the tip of his ear, heard a gurgling sound coming from the ground, as if someone's stomach was hungry.

Shunsuke also heard the voice, and he looked down at his dog and realized that it was coming from his dog's belly.

The helpless Shunsuke tied the leash that he had finally put on to the advertising stop on the side, and then said, "I'll buy you food, you obediently wait for me here." ”

Hachibu crouched next to the billboard, staring deeply at his departing back, then turned back to bite the leash that bound him.

Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask: "Your master is looking for you very hard, why don't you go home with him?" ”

Hearing this, Lao Babu suddenly stood up and stood up for the action of tearing the leash, and stepped on his mouth after a long silence and said: "My relationship with Shunsuke is different from that of ordinary dogs and owners, I came to his side for companionship." ”

This sentence seemed to open up something, and the old dog's eyes were confused, and he seemed to fall into a memory and muttered: "I was carried home by Shunsuke's grandfather, Shunsuke's parents at that time had just had an accident, Shunsuke was a little autistic because he couldn't accept the blow, and the master took me home, just hoping that I could accompany him and make his mood better." At that time, Shunsuke was still very young, only in the third grade of elementary school, and I sent him to school every day, accompanied him from school, watched him do his homework, and played with him, and gradually the child finally became like other children, talking and laughing. Later, the old man and the old lady passed away, and Shunsuke was in pain, and I accompanied him through that time, and I knew that although the child looked strong, he was actually quite fragile, and he could no longer bear the pain of loss. ”

Lao Babu's eyes at this time were like an elder talking about his favorite child, kind and gentle.

But hearing it say this, Xu Jie was even more puzzled, and he asked very puzzled: "In that case, why do you have to leave?" ”

Hearing this, Lao Babu shifted his gaze to Xu Jie and said: "Because I have felt that my time is passing, my body is beginning to become weak, my sense of smell is not sensitive, and the most important thing is that I am now having difficulty breathing, and my heart is beating more and more weakly." If my judgment is correct, then I have to leave, so that Shunsuke thinks that I am just missing, and that I can still leave him with a thought after all. But if I really close my eyes next to him, the child will not be able to bear it. ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie hurriedly took a closer look at Babu and found that the condition of this old Akita dog was much worse than the last time he saw it.

Its fur is now not only dull, it has begun to knot, although it looks tall, it is very thin, and the nose, which is the most important body feature for judging the health of the dog, is even more dry and about to peel.

This is definitely not the state of a healthy dog, and he is sick.

At this time, Shunsuke, who went out to buy food for Lao Hachibu, also returned.

Xu Jie rushed over and desperately pointed to Lao Babu's nose, and at this time, Shunsuke also found out that his dog was inappropriate.

Just now, because he was only thinking about taking it home, Shunsuke didn't think about anything else.

Now after discovering the strangeness of Hachibu, he hurriedly ran to its side, ran through the fur of the Akita dog with his hand, and put it directly on its skin, and the abnormal temperature under his hand immediately made him frown.

Hachibu was feverish, and the thought immediately became clear in Shunsuke's mind, so this time, no matter how old Hachibu struggled, Shunsuke still picked it up.

Lao Babu, who was held in Shunsuke's arms, was still very dishonest, and he was always looking for a chance to climb down.

At this time, Shunsuke, who had always been kind to the dog before, yelled at Lao Babu for the first time: "Unless you bite me to death by the throat, or you will have to go to the hospital to see a doctor today." ”

Of course, it is impossible for the old Hachibu who loves Shunsuke to bite his master, so Shunsuke, who is in a hurry, sends it to the Fujimoto family's pet hospital.
