When Ermao and the others found that Zheng Si and Dashan were gone, the sun had already come out.

There is no mountain-style "alarm clock" today, if it is usual, everyone will definitely notice it at the first time, but now, under special circumstances, everyone's attention is focused on Pei Jie's affairs, and the eyes of several people who have analyzed and discussed it all night are bloodshot.

And the old man of the master is old after all, he couldn't stay up with them, and he was persuaded by Ermao to rest at three or four o'clock in the morning, and now he hasn't gotten up, and Ermao they haven't made a big move, and the whole yard is a little quiet.

When everyone finally noticed why they thought this quiet was unusual, they realized that neither cat was in the yard.

With Pei Jie's disappearance, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is whether the two cats have also been quietly resolved. But on second thought, it's not right. Wei Ling and Ermao are very aware of the black cat's ability, it can't be solved so easily by someone silently, how can they howl when they encounter a situation, right? What's more, Ermao didn't call the police on his mobile phone, proving that the other party should still be nearby.

Uncle Lin said to call someone to come over and help find it, but was stopped by Ermao.

"Wait, I'll take a look." Ermao took out his phone and opened one of the icons, and one of the highlights was very clear.

"Nearby?"

Several people were a little apprehensive when they heard Ermao's words, if they were nearby, they all shouted several times just now, although they lowered their voices and screamed, for fear of waking up the old man, but with the cat's hearing, it was enough to hear their words clearly, but the fact was. There was no sound of response.

Ermao took the mobile phone and looked for it according to the signal highlights displayed on it, until he saw the cat tag hanging on the tree by Zheng Si.

"Someone took off the cat card?" Uncle Lin said worriedly. He had a good impression of the black cat, but he was afraid that he would be poisoned.

Ermao took the cat card and looked at it, shook his head and said, "No, it was not picked by others." No one but itself could take down the cat card. ”

The latter sentence Ermao said very lightly, and people who were a little farther away couldn't hear it clearly, such as Uncle Lin, he only heard the first sentence. I didn't hear the latter sentence that Ermao said just now. Otherwise, you will definitely wonder, what does it mean that "no one can take down that cat card except itself"?

"Senior Brother Pei, I guess the black coal must have found some clues. That's why it left to look for clues. As for the mountains. I guess I was called over to help. Ermao said.

Ermao still knows Zheng Si better, after all, after so many years, it is strange that he doesn't understand the neighborhood relationship between upstairs and downstairs.

Pei Liang nodded. Didn't say anything. Regardless of whether what Ermao said is true or not, it is good to have hope.

When Dashan went back, it was close to noon, Ermao and they went out to look around and didn't find too much useful information, and when they saw Dashan in the yard, several people's eyes lit up.

I looked at the front and back of Ermao's house, but I didn't find Zheng Si.

"Mountain, where's the black coal?" Ermao asked.

"The mountain is back?!" The old man came out of the house quickly and called the mountain over.

Dashan listened to the old man the most, and the old man asked him, and Dashan was more cooperative, so after the old man spoke, Ermao and they didn't say anything, and listened to it closely.

After living together for so many years, the old man knows Dashan's temperament and ability very well, so it is easier for Dashan to understand if he asks.

"Where's the black coal?" The old man asked. Because of Ermao, now the old people are also called "black coal". Oyama also knew who the name was referring to, and it had heard it many times when it was learning to play with lighters, and it was the right number.

Hearing this, Dashan glanced in a certain direction in the distance, and Ermao and the others remembered the meaning of this action. The mountain has a strong sense of direction, and since the mountain is looking over there, it means that the black cat is somewhere in that direction.

"Where's Pei Jie?" Saying that, the old man took one of Pei Jie's clothes and gave it to Dashan to smell, so that Dashan could correspond the name "Pei Jie" to the smell, and Dashan's memory of the smell was deeper than a name that he hadn't heard for a long time.

Sure enough, Dashan seemed to be a little puzzled when he heard the name "Pei Jie", but after smelling the smell, he was a little excited, and after turning around in a hurry, he wanted to go out of the door, but was stopped by the old man.

The old man brought the mountain in front of him, looked at the mountain, and said almost word by word: "Found it?" ”

Usually the old man and Dashan have played a similar game of finding things, so Dashan can understand this question.

When Dashan heard this, his tail raised and flicked it down. This action represents the "yes" in the "yesorno tail flicking game".

"I found it!" Ermao said happily.

Pei Liang's eyes were red with excitement, and now he was eager to find the past. When he was at home in the past, Pei Liang almost carried out a stick education for Pei Jie every three days, this child is too skinny, he can't be honest if he doesn't beat him, and he is mischievous all day long, but now, he hasn't seen this skin child for a day, and he is still frightened and scared, he can't cry and shout how to do it, he can't vent his emotions when he is depressed, and his heart is panicked, so he can only smoke one cigarette after another in silence to relieve his emotions. Now, just hearing such news made Pei Liang's eyes feel sour, and he couldn't suppress this sourness after blinking a few times, but it became more and more prosperous.

The old man sat back, waved his hand, and said to Ermao and the three of them: "Go." "When he is old, it is impossible for him to follow Ermao and them out to find someone.

"Master, ...... here" Wei Ling looked at the old man.

"Don't worry, they're here, it's okay, just be careful yourself." The old man pointed to the few people who followed, including those who came from the provincial capital to assist in the investigation, and a few people in the village who had a good relationship, all of whom were here to protect them, and they didn't have to worry about being taken advantage of and hurt the elderly and children here.

The cooperation of the three brothers is more reliable than others, and the old man is still very confident in his apprentices.

When Dashan took Ermao and them to the mountains and forests, Zheng Si had already woken up from a nap. Although the quality of sleep is not very good. But after this sleep, my spirit is indeed much better, and my physical strength has also recovered.

He observed that there were six people there, five people he had seen before, plus the person who had taken Pei Jie.

It was lunchtime, and the six of them were gathered in a tent, eating and chatting, probably to discuss what to do next. Those people with accents. Speak very quickly, too. Zheng Si didn't understand it very well, and he didn't know the meaning of the few words he occasionally captured, so he could only judge it according to the tone of those people's words.

One of the six sat at the door of the tent. Half of the body is inside the tent. Half outside the tent. When you are wary of your surroundings, say a few words to others.

For Zheng, this is an opportunity. Since all six of them are gathered here. There was no one else there.

Going around to the rear, Zheng Si quietly approached the cloth shed. The three tents didn't look like a place to put hostages, the most likely thing here was the cloth shed where the animals were kept, and Zheng Si also deduced from some subtle words and deeds of those people that Pei Jie should be there.

Quietly going around to the back of the cloth shed, Zheng Si found an unfixed place. There are only a few points fixed under the cloth shed, and there is no fixed place, Zheng Si can lift the cloth around a little and drill into it.

This is the size advantage, if you are a little bigger, and you want to get in, the whole movement will definitely attract those people.

After listening carefully, after making sure that those people were all on the tent side, Zheng Si carefully lifted the unfixed cloth fence hanging down from the cloth tent and quickly got in.

The inside of the cloth shed was much darker than the outside, but it didn't really affect Zheng Si much, he could clearly see the situation inside.

There are five cages that Zheng Si saw last time, two with monkeys and three with red pandas. And in a large cage closer to these five cages, there is a child sitting in the corner of the cage, obviously Pei Jie.

Pei Jie was sitting in the cage with his legs crossed, his head on his knees, as if he was sleeping.

The mental state of the animals in the five cages was about the same as last time, not good, wilting, and I didn't notice Zheng Si. Only the one next to Pei Jie's cage was a little energetic, and when Zheng Si walked over, the little guy saw Zheng Si, but he didn't make a sound, just stared curiously.

It seems that the fact that this animal rarely makes a sound is a good thing for the current situation.

The red panda stood on the edge of the cage, looking at Zheng Si, while raising his hand to flick the hair on the side of his mouth.

Zheng Si walked next to Pei Jie, the metal mesh of the cage was relatively dense, he couldn't squeeze in, so he could only stretch out his paws and gently push Pei Jie.

Pei Jie didn't sleep deeply, and woke up after being pushed, looking around a little confused. It is still a dim environment, and there is the smell of animal excrement, but after being forced to smell it for a day, Pei Jie is already a little numb, besides, there is also his share in this smell, and he has urinated a few times.

didn't notice anything abnormal, and when Pei Jie was about to continue sleeping, his arm was touched again.

Turn your head and meet a pair of eyes.

Pei Jie almost screamed in shock, but fortunately, this kid's psychological quality is good, so he just held back. Pei Jie carefully identified it, only to find that it was a cat that pushed him just now.

No way, the environment here is still too dark for Pei Jie, the place where Zheng Si is staying now is even darker, Pei Jie can't see the objects in it clearly like Zheng Si, plus Zheng Si is already dark, if it weren't for the fact that his eyes could still reflect some light, Pei Jie probably wouldn't be so easy to find Zheng Si. It's just that he didn't think it was Zheng Si himself, he just thought it was a wild cat in the woods.

The cage is still too small for Pei Jie, even if he sits in the corner of the cage, it occupies nearly a quarter of the section of this cage. Pei Jie couldn't stand up straight in the cage at all, and he had to bend over when he got up.

Zheng Si also thought that Pei Jie probably didn't see it clearly, so he glanced around, and then walked to the small window left on the edge of the cloth shed.

The light that shone obliquely from outside the window was projected on the uneven ground, and after Zheng Si walked there, Pei Jie could see it clearly.

"Black ...... Black charcoal?! Although he was very excited, Pei Jie remembered that he was trapped here, and he was afraid that his voice would be too loud to provoke those people, so he lowered his voice.

Zheng Si was very satisfied with Pei Jie's performance and walked to the cage again.

Pei Jie looked at Zheng Si and began to cry. Since Zheng Si is here, then his father and Uncle Ermao should also be nearby, right?

Pei Jie suddenly felt that the dark childhood had seen the light again. The little kid who prides himself on being a manly husband who bleeds without tears can't stop crying now.

"Woo, black charcoal, I was wrong, I shouldn't have taken your things indiscriminately, and I shouldn't have tried to pick the lock without permission......" Pei Jie lowered his voice to admit his mistake, because the voice was too low, sometimes he could only see his mouth open, and no sound came out. However, Zheng Si can still know what the kid is talking about through the words he said and Pei Jie's mouth shape.

The tone is very sincere, and the expression is even more moving, but Zheng Si always feels that Pei Jie said this so smoothly? There wasn't even a pause.

Pei Jie did say a lot of similar things, but at this moment Pei Jie was really remorseful. If he hadn't been curious about the box and hadn't lifted the box out of the yard, wouldn't he have met that stranger, Uncle Lin wouldn't have been knocked unconscious, his two younger siblings wouldn't have been in danger, and he wouldn't have been carried over by bad guys like chickens?

Regret, he really regrets it!
