Chapter 54: To the South City
At night.
East Family Area of Chuhua University.
Jiao's father was standing at the door of the house, raised his hand and rubbed his face, hid the tired expression on his face, and took out the key to open the door.
The sofa in the living room was still empty, and there was no longer a black cat lying there watching TV comfortably.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, the doors of the two children opened almost at the same time, but after seeing Jiao's father's face, his eyes dimmed again.
It's been a week and still hasn't heard anything.
The few dens that illegal cat and dog trafficking in Chuhua City knocked down did not have the news they wanted.
Syllable!
The doors of the two children's rooms were closed again, and they went to do their homework.
When I first learned that my cat was lost, the eyes of the two children were swollen from crying, and even after a week, their eyes were still red and their mood was low.
"Still no news?" Jiao's mother asked in a low voice. She was also in a bad mood.
Dad Jiao shook his head and was silent. After a while, he said: "Wei Ling and He Ju are both helping to find it, and Zhao Dong and they also ask their friends to pay attention to the news in this regard, it should be soon." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the bedroom rang.
Jiao's father hurriedly got up to pick it up, while the two children in the room put their ears to the door, hoping to hear some good news.
However, Jiao's father didn't say much after answering the phone, and the only two sentences were also very low, not like he was very happy.
Hanging up the phone, Jiao's father took out a cigarette and stood on the balcony to smoke.
Jiao's father doesn't smoke on weekdays, unless he is in a bad mood.
It was Wei Ling who called just now, and told Jiao's father the results of the investigation, there was no news of his black charcoal, but the person who sold the tranquilizer gun found it, and dug deep according to this line, but the person who bought the gun was not local, and he was more cunning, so he couldn't find too much.
Although there is not much useful news, Jiao's father has always had suspicions in his heart, and he thought about the situation when he met Professor Ren in the hospital recently......
Just when the people in Chuhua City were busy looking for news of Zheng Si, Zheng Si was sleeping in the attic of a villa.
That day, he followed the big white bear and the girl to a nearby community, which was of a relatively high grade, with elevator rooms and villa buildings, and the big white bear's house was one of the villas.
Because the girl's riding speed is not fast, it looks like she is just distracted, and she occasionally gets off the bike to buy something when she stops and stops, so Zheng Si can also catch up with him in hiding, but she is too tired and a little tired. It was a terrible day.
The girl and the big white bear entered from the main entrance of the community, but Zheng Si got in from the fence next to it, and arrived at a villa in the direction of the man and dog, and found a good place in the villa - the attic.
It is not difficult for a cat to climb the attic of such an American-style villa.
The attic of this house is piled up with some debris, and no one usually comes up, and many places are covered with cobwebs and dust. It turned out that there were still a few mice, and after Zheng Si arrived, they probably rolled up and ran away, but Zheng Si never saw them again.
finally found a temporary place to stay, and Zheng Si's nerves, which had been tense, eased a little. I rummaged through the things in the attic, found a pillow from one of the cardboard boxes, and regardless of whether it smelled musty or not, I began to rest on it.
Zheng Si was woken up by the sound of crackling rain.
The crackling sound of the rain hitting the windows of the attic is particularly clear in the quiet environment of the attic.
It was already dark outside, and another day had passed.
Here, Zheng Si can see the street lamps in this residential area through the attic window, as well as the lights in the homes of the surrounding residents.
At this time, it should be time for dinner, Zheng sighed and moved his nose, only the musty smell in the attic.
Zheng Si knew where the area of Lu Dao was, and he also knew how far away it was from Chuhua City.
A central city, a southern coastal region.
It is precisely because it is clear that I am at a loss.
Xiahe City, which is not too far away from the southern city where he has lived for 20 years, is actually not too far away.
Zheng Si looked at the raindrops on the window, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking, to be exact, he was in a daze.
However, it didn't last long to be in a daze.
Alas, hungry.
Zheng sighed and pondered, when the family is asleep later, let's go down and find something to eat.
Zheng Si is not ready to expose himself, this family has dogs and may not eat dog meat, but who knows if Lu Dao will eat cats? What kind of character is this family?
He didn't want to take any chances.
Stretching, Zheng sighed and moved his hands and feet, thinking about what to do in the future.
It would be nice if it was human, but unfortunately it's just a cat now.
It's boring to wait, Zheng Si rummaged through the sundries, and pulled out a small leather ball, the kind of children's toys. Looks like it hasn't been touched in a long time.
Lying on the pillow on his back, Zheng Si played with the ball with his four paws, gently pushed the ball back with his palm, and then touched it back with his feet.
Watching the ball bounce in the air, Zheng Si felt like one of those circus animals now.
Speaking of which, if he is not there, the Jiao family doesn't know what will happen to Lu Dao, as well as the advertisement on Xiao Guo's side......
Zheng Si was just playing with the ball while thinking about things.
From the attic came the laughter of the family, the sound of advertisements on the television, and the familiar dialect that had not been heard in a long time.
Finally, in the middle of the night, the rain outside seemed to stop.
There is a window on the slope of the attic that can be pushed, and it is estimated that the family does not know that there is a broken window in their own attic, but even if they know it, they will not take it to heart, because this window is very small, and it is not easy for children of seven or eight years old to climb in, and they are not afraid of thieves entering the attic from here.
Coming out of the sloping window, Zheng Si looked around. It had just rained, and it was damp.
Looking at the water stains sticking to the soles of his feet, Zheng Si looked for a place to go down from the roof and came to the kitchen.
Originally, Zheng Si saw that there was a doorway for pets to enter and exit the door, and was ready to enter from here, but after trying it, it was locked, probably because the big white bear was too big, and it was okay to use it when it was a child, but now it can't be used, so the owner directly locked the doorway.
couldn't enter through the door, Zheng Si could only climb the window, but fortunately, there was a window on it that was not closed, and Zheng Si climbed in through that window. Before turning over, Zheng Si also stepped on the doormat placed at the back door a few times to dry the water stains on his feet, and don't step on a few cat foot prints in the kitchen when the time comes.
There is a big refrigerator in the kitchen, Zheng Si opened the refrigerator and looked at it, there are not many dishes, depending on the family conditions of this family, even if the dinner is not finished, it is estimated that it will be thrown out directly. But the good thing is that there are some meatballs that are bought in the supermarket, Zheng Si ate a few, half-cooked, so he can only take a break.
Most of the others are children's food, there are some biscuits, fruit cakes, etc., Zheng Si has eaten some, the kind of snacks with independent small packaging, Zheng Si took some out, and took it to the attic later.
After eating something, Zheng Si felt much better, although it was cold, it was much better than starving.
Gently closing the refrigerator door, Zheng Si quietly left with some small snacks, he is now more and more proficient in walking on two legs.
It was a little troublesome when I turned over the window, and it was not easy to turn over my legs, so Zheng Si took out these small snacks one by one.
Before leaving the kitchen, Zheng Si looked at the crack in the door under the closed kitchen door, and some white dog hair could be seen through the gap - the big white bear was lying on the other side of the door. Zheng Si believed that it should have found itself, but it didn't make a sound.
What a good dog.
He can bare his teeth at those who beat the dog, and he will help himself to cover. Pretty smart.
After foraging for food, he moved a few bags of small snacks to the attic, and Zheng Si lay on the musty pillow again. He never thought he would steal food at night like a mouse.
So far......
I slept well at night, I don't know if it was because of the drug, Zheng Si has always been sleepy recently, and sometimes he sleeps very deeply, even if someone is next to him, he can't hear it.
The next day, Zheng Si heard several news.
For Zheng Si, this news is indeed good.
First, I heard that there was a murder on the street where cat and dog meat were sold.
The accident happened to Uncle Pole, a celebrity on the whole street. The cause of death was a rabies attack.
It is strange that this experienced figure did not get vaccinated for anything, or rather, did not get vaccinated in time. It stands to reason that he should know how to protect better than others, but he still hasn't escaped after the end.
When Zheng Si listened to the people around him talk, he said a lot of possibilities, maybe there was a problem with the vaccine, maybe the veteran was negligent, or it could be that he had been infected a long time ago but did not get vaccinated, or he ate dog meat, after all, the hygiene of this street is not very good, and he cut corners when cooking, and failed to completely kill the rabies virus. These are all possible.
In short, there are different opinions, but the fact is that the famous Uncle Pole died of rabies.
In addition to this famous Uncle Pole, there is another person who is also unlucky, and this person is the young man who caught Zheng Si.
I heard that when Uncle Pole was ill, Xiao Young went to look for him, but he was picked up with a wine bottle by Uncle Pole, who was not very conscious, and is still lying in the hospital.
Hearing these two news, Zheng Si was very happy, although he didn't know the uncle pole, but listening to the discussion of the people around him, this old guy had countless dog lives in his hands, and he also taught a large number of people who beat dogs and cats, and even poached, and he deserved to die.
Moreover, because of Uncle Pole's incident, everyone on the street is now in danger, even if they don't kill dogs in their restaurants, they all go to the hospital for vaccination, after all, rabies virus is a thing that many animals may carry.
As for the young man, Zheng sighed and thought: Even if you can come out of the hospital alive, don't let Lao Tzu bump into it, otherwise you will be killed!
This Qiu Zheng sighed and remembered.
In addition to these two news, Zheng Si also heard the family say that they were going out to play this weekend. At that time, there is no one at home, so it is convenient for Zheng Si to act.
Zheng Si wanted to use the family's phone to talk to Jiao's father. Even if they can't clearly say what they want to say, at least they can know that they are still alive.
Zheng Si thought very well, called the Jiao family, and then Jiao's father called to contact the people of the family, and came to pick him up later. Anyway, the family will be back on Sunday night, and they won't be able to wait for a few days. It's better than being wandering all the time.
Two days later, on Friday afternoon, the family packed up their belongings and drove off with their family and dog when their children returned from school.
As soon as they left, Zheng Si couldn't wait to open the window and enter the house to find the phone.
There is a landline next to the sofa in the living room, Zheng Si jumped up, bent his arm to scoop up the earpiece, and then lifted the cat's paw to press the number keys one by one, Jiao's phone number Zheng Si remembered, there were three numbers pasted in Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi's room, the landline at home, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother. So Zheng Si knows these three numbers by heart. But so far, Zheng Si has only called Jiao's father when Jiao's mother was sick.
Zheng Si was still a little nervous when he pressed the button, but when he finished pressing the number, the voice in the earpiece said in a tone that had not changed for ten thousand years, "The number you dialed is empty", Zheng Si was stunned.
Again, it's still the same.
Jiao's landline changed its number?
Zheng Si dialed Jiao's father's phone number again, but he couldn't get through, and he still couldn't get through when he changed Jiao's mother.
Paralyzing!
Is there something wrong with this machine?!
Can't dial long distance?
It's not right, I heard the head of this household call people abroad yesterday, how can it be possible to lock the long distance?!
Zheng sighed and tried again, but the result was still the same.
was so angry that Zheng sighed and wanted to drop the phone.
It's a pity that I don't remember the phone numbers of other people in Chuhua City, Zheng Si squatted on the sofa and raised his paws to scratch his head, knowing that Lu Dao would remember more numbers and try them one by one!
Wei Ling's, Yi Xin's dormitory, Zhao Le's, Xiao Zhuo's, Ah Huang's family, Da Fat's family, Old Man Lan's family, Qu Xiangyang's family...... I didn't remember any of these people's numbers!
That time, Wei Ling also said that he had changed his new mobile phone number, but unfortunately Zheng Si forgot it when he turned around at that time.
Tamar's!
I regret it!!
The sound of the cloth cracking sounded, Zheng Si came back to his senses, looked at the sofa under him, and accidentally scratched the fabric sofa.
Hopefully this owner won't be in contact with the cats.
Zheng sighed at his ears, jumped off the sofa, found something in the kitchen to fill his stomach, and turned out a can of milk to drink.
Although he was full of food and drink, Zheng Si still felt cold in his heart.
When night falls, a huge villa is quiet.
Zheng Si didn't like this kind of cold and quiet silence, and slapped the ground with a big flick of his tail.
The lights changed as the cars of the surrounding residents drove by, and the shadows of the window frames moved on the walls of the living room.
Di Di –
The family honked their horn twice when they got home. You can still faintly hear them laughing as they stand outside the house.
Ass!
Zheng Si sat up irritably, climbed out of the window, and under the cover of night, Zheng Si could avoid being caught.
Uncle Pole's matter made the people on that street restrain a little, and besides, this place is no longer within the scope of that street, and no one is outside to catch cats.
Zheng Si walked to the edge of the community and drilled through the gap in the fence.
Before he had gone far, when he passed by a fast food restaurant, Zheng Si's attention was attracted by the conversation between the two people over there.
"Okay, I'll leave beforehand, and I'll look for you when I come back from Nancheng." The man in the leather vest is humane to the other.
"You drive carefully at night, and call my brother when you get to Nancheng."
"Zhilu Dao."
Wearing a vest and waving his hand, he said goodbye to the man, then flicked the key to the parking lot and got into a pickup truck.
Southside?
Zheng Si hurriedly ran up and jumped into the cargo box of the pickup truck.
There was nothing in the cargo box except for a suitcase and a few bags thrown up by the man in the vest, and there was still a lot of space inside.
Zheng Si stood up, looked out on the side of the cargo box of the pickup truck, and then found a place to close his eyes and rest.
When he was about to fall asleep, Zheng Si suddenly thought of something, according to time, if he was still going to school in Nancheng at this time, he really existed, as if he was as old as Jiao Yuan's little child?!
