Chapter 8 Get help from animals
Mo Qing has been thinking about the missing person notice. The missing person notice said that the little boy was lost on a street in Linqing City, and she wanted to go to the city to see it.
After finishing class in the morning, Mo Qing walked into the head teacher's office in the afternoon and found an excuse to take two days off. As a top student in the school, the teacher still trusts Mo Qing very much and grants her leave.
Mo Qing got out of school and went to the county town long-distance bus station to get on the last bus to the city.
It was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in the city, and when Mo Qing got out of the bus station, he asked people about the location mentioned in the missing person notice, and then took a taxi directly to the place with a ruthless heart.
After Mo Qing got out of the car, he looked at the crowd of people commuting on the street and walked into the alley next to him.
Mo Qing observed the surroundings and happened to see a raccoon cat sleeping on the wall, and she came to the tanuki cat with joy in her heart, "Hi, hello, little flower cat." ”
The tanuki cat was asleep when he heard someone calling him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl standing nearby.
Mo Qing waved his hand to greet the raccoon cat, "Hey, little cat, hello." ”
The tanuki's eyes widened in amazement, how could this two-legged beast talk to it?
It stood up and asked, "Little girl, are you talking to me?" ”
Mo Qing smiled: "Is there anyone else here besides you and me?" ”
The tanuki cat stared at Mo Qing up and down, "You are the first human who can talk to me." What's the matter with you calling me? ”
Mo Qing unfolded the missing person notice and approached the tanuki cat, "I have something to ask you for." Look at the little boy up there, have you seen it? That's around where he was lost. If you can help me, I will buy you small dried fish to eat when I get the money. ”
The tanuki cat looked at the missing person notice and said, "I have seen this child, I have seen him taken away by the bad guys." There's also a little duck toy he dropped in the bushes. ”
Under the guidance of the tanuki cat, Mo Qing found a rubber duck toy from the bushes next to the street.
Mo Qing didn't take it directly with his hands, but took out a plastic bag from his pocket and put it in his hand to pick up the duck toy, and then directly packed the toy in a plastic bag and sealed it. This is also where she is very careful not to leave her fingerprints and smell on toys.
After loading the toy, Mo Qing picked up the tanuki cat and asked, "Can you help me find him?" ”
The tanuki cat meowed and told Mo Qing that she could ask Rhubarb for help.
Then Mo Qing followed the guidance of the tanuki cat, and finally found a stray dog in a small alley.
Rhubarb is an earthy yellow stray dog, and the breed seems to be a very common pastoral dog. Through communication with Rhubarb, Mo Qing learned that Rhubarb abandoned Rhubarb because the owner saw that it was not a good breed, and then it became a stray dog.
The tanuki cat shouted, "Rhubarb, please help me with something." ”
Rhubarb looked at the raccoon cat and then at Mo Qing, and called twice, "What's the matter, I'm hungry now, I'm looking for something to eat." ”
Mo Qing was curious and asked, "Xiaohua, can you communicate with rhubarb across species?" ”
Tanuki said, "I can only communicate with Rhubarb. Other dogs cannot. Maybe it's because I've been with Rhubarb for a long time, and we can understand each other. ”
Mo Qing knew that the animal kingdom also had its own set of survival rules, and the more she studied, the more interesting she felt.
Mo Qing looked at Rhubarb and said, "Rhubarb, I want to ask you to help find a child, but I won't let you help in vain, I'll buy you meat buns to eat in a while, and when I find the child, I will thank you again and give you meat and bones." ”
Rhubarb also has a good impression of this human who can communicate with him, "Okay then, but I may have to ask other dogs for help, can you give them some food too?" ”
Mo Qing nodded, "No problem." ”
Mo Qing saw Rhubarb's thin appearance and went directly to a steamed bun shop to buy ten meat buns, and then one person, one dog, and one cat ate these ten meat buns.
Mo Qing felt that the food of this Blue Star was too delicious, even the steamed buns made by a small shop were very delicious.
Xiaohua and Rhubarb also said that the buns were delicious and they would like to eat them in the future.
Mo Qing said: "If I find that child, I can get a bonus, and then I will have the money to buy you more buns." ”
After eating a meat bun, this person, a cat, and a dog quickly became familiar with each other.
And Rhubarb also told Mo Qing that he was often active in this area, and that he had also seen the lost little boy.
Rhubarb said that it could find more companions to help Mo Qing find the little boy.
Mo Qing went to the steamed bun shop and bought another twenty steamed buns. If you want your family to work, you have to take care of a meal first.
The sky gradually darkened, Mo Qing waited in the alley, and soon Rhubarb didn't know where to find several stray dogs, the raccoon cat Xiaohua also attracted several cats, Mo Qing also accosted a sparrow on the road, and then dozens of sparrows.
Mo Qing was glad that it was dark now, otherwise it would be troublesome to be found out about this strange scene.
Mo Qing shared the buns he bought with everyone, and even the sparrows got food.
Mo Qing gave the little boy a toy to a group of cats and dogs to smell, and they can often find targets through smells.
After eating, everyone began to go their separate ways.
Mo Qing waited in the alley, hoping to get good news.
The missing person notice said that the little boy had been lost two days earlier, and she hoped that he was still there.
Judging from the remuneration given by the little boy's family and the large-scale release of missing person notices in such a short period of time, the little boy's family background should be very good.
It's spring now, and it's still very cold at night, Mo Qing wrapped the clothes on her body, which was the only coat she had in good condition besides her school uniform.
Mo Qing didn't have a watch, and he didn't know what time it was at night, but the dogs, cats, and birds all came back.
Rhubarb said: "I inquired with other members of the same kind and smelled a little boy in a village on the outskirts, and he was locked up in a cellar. The smell of more than one person in the cellar should be locked up by other people."
Listening to what Rhubarb said, Mo Qing had basically determined that the child was being locked up in the cellar of a family in a village in the suburbs. This is most likely a den for human traffickers. But she'll have to see for herself the exact location.
Mo Qing thought that even if it wasn't for the lost little boy, the family would have a problem keeping the child in the cellar.
Mo Qing can only walk to the suburbs, although it is late at night, but there is nothing to fear with these dogs around her.
Mo Qing didn't want to waste time, so he immediately set off to follow the dogs to the suburbs.
By this time, there were almost no people on the streets, and almost every household had fallen asleep.
Fortunately, there were street lights on the street, and Mo Qing walked along the road in the direction of the suburbs under the guidance of the dogs.
