Chapter 279: The Voice in the Kitchen
After Sun Xiaomeng left her clinic, she lowered her head and walked for a while, only to realize that she came out in too haste, and went out in only a white coat, forgetting to put on her coat. The wind outside was still quite cold, and the white coat was blown tightly against his body, and the cold air pierced in like countless needles.
She fastened all the buttons of her white coat, but it didn't help, because white coats were not meant to keep out the cold.
Do you want to go back and put on your coat and come out again?
She hesitated for a few seconds, then looked back, she had already walked more than 50 meters, and it was quite troublesome to go back and forth.
The most important thing is that the auto parts store next to the clinic is also open, and the boss and employees in dirty work clothes hurrah opened the shutter door to start today's business. The men in the auto parts store stared at her and made her uncomfortable, and she often even vaguely heard them whispering about her behind her back. Going back and coming back is equivalent to walking back and forth twice in the eyes of bullets...
Forget it, let's go faster, the faster you walk, the warmer you will be.
The rising sun shone on her, dyeing her rustic black hair in a popular linen and burgundy blend, adding a touch of fashion.
It didn't work out as expected, probably because of the headwind, as her pace quickened, she felt even colder.
She remembered that Zhang Zian took off his coat after entering the door just now, he was wearing very thin, a casual shirt inside a jacket, but he didn't seem to feel cold, but she was still wearing a sweater anyway, but she was terribly cold.
A burst of firecrackers suddenly sounded across the road on the left, attracting passers-by to stop and linger.
She turned her head and looked over. It turned out that a small restaurant had just opened, using electronic firecrackers without gunpowder smoke. She remembered that this place used to be a fruit shop, but she didn't pay attention to it for a while, and it was actually transferred. But it doesn't matter, she doesn't like to eat in this kind of small restaurant, she thinks it's unhygienic. She drives to and from get off work, and the usual solution for lunch is to buy bento from the supermarket and heat it in the microwave. Although the taste is mediocre, at least it is clean.
The small restaurant has opened, but there is no business for the time being, which is understandable, and it is not a meal time now.
Sun Xiaomeng quickened his pace, because the Qiyuan pet store was already in sight, and it felt like the final sprint stage, rushing in would temporarily avoid the cold wind.
At this moment, two cars stopped in front of the pet shop one after the other. The car door opened, and several men jumped out of the car. She recognized one of them as Guo Dongyue, because the man with the ponytail was so recognizable.
When Guo Dongyue saw that the shutter door of the pet store was closed,
He was taken aback for a moment, then went to the door and pulled it to confirm that it was locked, and immediately frowned as if feeling troublesome. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, ready to dial.
"Hello!" Sun Xiaomeng called out from a distance.
Several other men were talking loudly, but Guo Dongyue didn't hear her cry, or he heard it but didn't know it was him.
Sun Xiao dreamed that he didn't have Guo Dongyue's phone number, otherwise he would just give him a call. She trotted a few steps and shouted again: "Hey! Guo Dongyue!"
Guo Dongyue heard it this time, looked at the source of the sound, and recognized her.
She raised her hand and shook it, hoping that he could see the key in her hand and understand that she was here to open the door for him.
He understood, put away his cell phone, and said something to the other men. They responded and took out all kinds of decoration tools from the car.
Half a minute later, Sun Xiaomeng finally walked to the door of the pet shop.
"Fortunately, I caught up with it." She exhaled a breath of white air, her body was not so cold due to exercise.
Guo Dongyue looked behind her, "Where's Zhang Zian?"
"He's in my store, and a customer asked him to buy a pet." Sun Xiaomeng answered while taking the key to unlock the lock.
The lock was unlocked, and before she could do anything, several other men helped her pull up the shutter door, brought all the decoration tools into the room, and looked around at the layout of the pet shop.
Fina stood up from the cat climbing frame, and looked at the strangers majestically. As Fina's tail disappeared from the sight, Snow Lion woke up from the state of nympho, looked back and saw that almost all the stinky men came in, and suggested to Fina: "Your Majesty, these are decoration workers, in order to avoid you The noble hair is dusty, let's go upstairs."
Fina saw that they had no malicious intentions, so she jumped off the cat climbing frame, turned her head and gave them a warning look, flicked her tail and went upstairs first, followed by the snow lion.
Old Cha drank the tea in the cup, turned off the TV, turned the cup upside down to prevent dust from getting in, and went up to the second floor.
The decoration workers brought by Guo Dongyue were very surprised. These cats seemed to be sensible, and they left the construction site without being chased away by them. After Guo Dongyue met Richard, his psychological endurance has been greatly improved.
Sun Xiaomeng has been looking for Xinghai's traces since entering the store, but to her disappointment, Xinghai doesn't seem to be on the first floor, except for the cats just now, there is only one Meishou squatting in the corner ignorantly.
"It's strange, why did you leave a beautiful short?" She wondered to herself. It stands to reason that all the pets in Zhang Zian's shop have been temporarily moved to her clinic, so what's going on with this beautiful short? In addition, the pets sold in the store are all cubs, but this Meishou has already grown up. Judging from its appearance, it seems that it was not imported from her family's breeding base.
She walked over, gently picked up Mei Short, and quickly checked its body - it was healthy and showed no signs of injury.
"There's construction going on here, I'll take you upstairs." She stroked its little head, hugged it in her arms, and walked up to the second floor.
This is the first time for Sun Xiaomeng to come to the second floor of the pet shop. After going up the stairs, she looked around and was a little hesitant about where to put this beauty...
"Pot! Pot! Pot, bowl, basin!"
"Don't remember yet? Pots, bowls, basins!"
"Pass... play..."
Huh?
Sun Xiaomeng was taken aback when he heard that, who is talking to whom?
She remembered that Zhang Zian's parents had passed away, and she hadn't seen any other permanent residents in this store, so was it Zhang Zian's relatives, friends or classmates who came to visit or borrow? It's not right, if Zhang Zian's relatives and friends live here, why would they lock the shutter door downstairs, and why would they ask her to open the door? This is unreasonable, lock the shutter door from the outside, what if there is a fire in the store?
It can't be... a thief, right?
It's not like, didn't the thief hear the movement downstairs?
The sound came from the kitchen.
The kitchen door was ajar, and she hesitated whether to go in and take a look.
At this moment, Xinghai ran out from nowhere, looked back at her, as if hinting at something to her, then stretched out a cat's paw, and gently pushed open the kitchen door.
