Chapter 24: The Rabbit Is Dead
"Uncle just sent me news that he might be in the criminal police team for a day or two, and he asked me to tell you!" In front of Lieutenant Colonel Ma, Xue Tingting got out of the car.
"The old man is like this, those guys are still ......" Li Hou was stunned when he heard this, and complained dissatisfied.
"Uncle himself is willing, you and I can't help it." Xue Tingting also sighed.
"Okay, I see, then I'll go back!" Li Hou drove away quickly.
"Slow down!" Xue Tingting admonished later.
"Got it!"
Li Hou's heart was actually still immersed in the shocking scene that he had seen in the Tianmu system before, and the morning incident, Rarity's black dog, he also wanted to talk to the old man, who knew that Li Yiyan actually went to the criminal police team and did not come back for the time being, and even the phone was turned off.
Back at the welfare home, he went straight to his residence.
In front of the bedroom door, Li Hou suddenly squatted down.
"Where has this dead rabbit gone all day? Not coming back! Seeing that the cat food prepared last night in front of the door didn't move at all, he muttered to himself in wonder.
Back in the bedroom, Li Hou habitually turned on the computer and looked at the news, and the hottest news on the Internet was the incident of the failed login of the Galaxy Explorer.
In this short period of time, various media have been racing to release various versions of the latest reports, and the official response from the Federal Space Agency is that the 500198 was launched into space at the same time as the spacecraft that crashed more than 30 years ago, and has exactly the same design architecture and the same design flaws.
In addition to this news, the case of the owner of the safflower supermarket has also been rumored, because the death of the boss of Namei is really bizarre, and all kinds of speculations have emerged, and even suicide and demon spirits have come out, which makes people cry and laugh.
Some people also speculated that Boss Mei was a member of a secret organization, lurking in Ningma for the research base in the mountains, and Li Hou also laughed at this.
There is a very high-scale research institute in the mountains north of Ningma, which many people know, and there are indeed some shady forces that covet it in the past, and even more than ten years ago, it is said that there was an accident, which implicated many high-level figures.
But Li Hou has known Boss Mei for more than ten years, he doesn't believe that anyone will have such good patience, and he has waited calmly for more than ten years without a trace of movement.
Thinking of the institute, Li Hou is also a little strange, it is said that it is a secret research base with high specifications, what specific research is done, he doesn't know, but it is indeed a forbidden area for ordinary people, three years ago, he and a few classmates went deep into the mountains during the summer vacation, and finally was escorted out by a group of soldiers with real guns, for which he was also taught a hard lesson by the old man.
For Boss Mei's case, maybe the old man will know something, and when he comes back, maybe he will bring some news, Li Hou thought about it, so he put aside this matter and went to play with the children in the welfare home.
One afternoon, staying with the children in the welfare institute to play games and tell stories, time flies, he finished dinner in the canteen of the welfare home, and is ready to go back to rest, now it is close to the final exam of the first year of high school, it is still necessary to scan all the textbooks again, if you lose the first grade, the old man doesn't say anything, but Xue Tingting will scold her own bloody head.
Outside the bedroom, Li Hou stopped again, the cat food at the door still hadn't moved all afternoon, he was a little strange, this didn't fit the rabbit's personality.
The rabbit was bought by the old man two years ago, and he has long developed a habit of eating at the door of the bedroom every day, never going out in the wild, and he didn't eat all night this day, is it lost?
Li Hou was a little uneasy, in the past two years, the rabbit has been training with him, and he can be regarded as a playmate, but suddenly he has disappeared all day, and he is a little uneasy.
Let's go look for it!
Thinking of this, he immediately went straight to the back door of the welfare home, where there was a small door leading to the abandoned granary at the back, and that large empty area was a rabbit's paradise.
At this moment, the sun is setting, the rows of tall old-fashioned warehouses look a little gloomy in the dusk, the blue brick walls are mottled, many places have been corroded under the rain, the empty cement pavement is cracked everywhere, some weeds stubbornly drill out of those cracks, showing their vigorous vitality, and along the corner of the wall, those weeds are more, and the chirping of insects in early summer feels very monotonous and lonely here.
Rumble......
In the distance, there was a dull sound of thunder, and the originally unbright sky was even darker under the cover of clouds, and there was some depression in the windless air.
The weather forecast says that due to the influence of Typhoon Longyi, heavy rain and strong winds may fall soon.
"Meow! Rabbit! Meow! Rabbit! Li Hou learned to meow and kept wandering around the granary.
Pu lala! A wild bird flies from among the weeds.
The scale of this granary is not small, there are thirty or forty rows in the front and back, and there are also four columns in the longitudinal direction.
"Come out quickly, it's going to rain, don't go home again, don't see if you dead rabbit is drenched in soup!" Li Hou searched for more than ten minutes, but still to no avail, and couldn't help but scream a little irritated.
Meow......
Faintly, around the corner in front of him, there seemed to be a low cat meow, and Li Hou immediately ran over quickly.
"Come out, rabbit, I see you!" He yelled again.
Whoa!
Along the grass along the granary wall, something swept quickly into the distance.
"Don't run!" Li Hou spread his legs and chased away.
The half-man-tall grass parted with a loud noise, and indeed a black shadow like a big cat flashed.
"Huh? What big tonic did you take today, running so fast? Turning the corner, Li Hou actually lost the trace of the black shadow, and he was a little surprised.
His speed is not a joke, I used to want to catch rabbits in this kind of open place, that is, minutes are things, on the 100-meter sprint of the school games, I pressed the speed, every time it was easy first, and even Vice Principal Zhou, who was in charge of physical education in the school, went to the welfare institute in person and discussed with the old man to transfer Li Hou to the sports department, but the old man was stubborn, and Vice Principal Zhou did not succeed.
Missed today? He was a little puzzled, wasn't that a rabbit? But the granary was surrounded by a wall four or five meters high, and he had never seen any other cats here except rabbits.
"Play hide and seek with me? Then give it a try! Li Hou was aroused, whether you are a rabbit or not, I have to find you out today!
He slowly searched in the direction of the shadow's departure.
Only a few minutes later, he saw the dark shadow again, but by this moment, he could already be sure that it was not a rabbit, but a yellow wild cat with red markings, which was rare.
Meow!
On the edge of the gate of another granary, Li Hou hunched his waist and lightly approached a pile of cement bricks that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time, and the guy had just gotten in.
Slowly parting the weeds in front of him, he poked his head forward.
"Huh! Bunny, you're hiding here! "Li Hou Daqi.
Through the dimming light, he saw a gray-gray tanuki tail peeking out of the cracks in the cement bricks, and the tip of the tail looked so familiar with the white hair, 100% a rabbit!
"Get you back first, and see how I clean you up!" A smile appeared at the corner of Li Hou's mouth, his legs suddenly kicked back, his body pounced like lightning, grabbed the tail of the tanuki, and pulled it hard.
It's so light!
This is Li Hou's first feeling, and it is not the weight of a rabbit at all! A foul rancid smell followed.
In surprise, he rolled his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but gasp, the hairs on his whole body suddenly stood up, his hand shook, and the thing he was holding was already thrown into the grass.
That's a bunny!
However, that was only part of the rabbit, and the familiar tanuki was gone.
It can also be said that it was eaten by something!
The flesh and blood of the cat's head were blurred and black, and only the white bones of the limbs were exposed, and the entire abdominal cavity was now empty, and there was hardly any flesh left, and what I saw was not much better than the skeleton that had been cleaned by the butcher.
That's why Li Hou felt so light.
What is it? Li Hou stood stunned in his eyes, he never thought that the rabbit didn't go home to eat cat food, but because he had already died here, he was eaten by something!
Could it be the big yellow cat from before? Li Hou looked up suddenly.
Through the gap in the cement bricks, on the opposite side, a pair of bright yellow eyes were staring at Li Hou.
