Chapter Five Hundred and Twentieth Set Dog

Whoosh!

Earlier than usual, Zhang Zian was woken up.

Although Binhai City has banned fireworks and firecrackers, they can still be set off in some remote suburbs and counties. The sound can be heard far away in the quiet early morning. The equivalent of this firework bomb is estimated to be not small...

I heard that there are fireworks shells with a diameter of 10 inches, which are about as powerful as artillery shells, and they can be heard in half of the city.

Today is New Year's Day, and the new year has arrived.

Zhang Zian hadn't slept enough, he was a little sleepy, he looked at his phone, silently counted how many red envelopes he missed in various groups at midnight last night, his heart ached like he missed hundreds of millions, and then he regained his energy.

When my parents used to run a pet store, they would be closed for a few days during holidays like New Year’s Day and Spring Festival. I would accompany him to the park or short trips to surrounding areas when he was young. Business as usual. He gave Wang Qian, Li Kun and Lu Yiyun a day off so that they wouldn't have to come over today.

Wang Qian and Li Kun's final exams have ended. This kind of national statutory holiday should go home to spend time with their families, and then go back to school to prepare for the make-up exam.

Lu Yiyun had a falling out with her family before, but after all, blood is thicker than water. During this festive season, when she misses her relatives so much, she might send a few text messages to say hello, maybe it can ease the relationship...

Since you can't sleep anymore, just get up.

He sat up quietly, put on his clothes carefully, and looked around the room at the same time.

The sound of firecrackers just now awakened the elves briefly, but it was too early, the sky was completely dark, and even Xinghai, who was always very energetic, fell back to sleep, not to mention that he could sleep peacefully when the sky fell Fina is gone. Old Tea breathes long and steadily, and the rhythm of each breath is as precise as a radio watch.

"Mmm--baji--raw beef brisket--" In addition to the old habit of talking in sleep, the snow lion has also had the habit of smacking its lips since when, and really wanted to find a chance to throw a cockroach into its mouth. ...

A little farther away, Femas sleeping in the corner is still lit with a night light, and the weak light is currently the only light source in the room. Recently, Femaus's sleep has improved a lot, and the number of awakenings at night has decreased, but it is strange that it also has an additional problem-it always kicks its legs while sleeping, and I don't know what it is...

Zhang Zian put on his clothes, went to the bathroom to solve his physical problems, and quietly left the bedroom.

Zhan Tian, ​​who was lying near the glass door, raised his head vigilantly, and seeing that it was Zhang Zian, he continued to lie down in peace.

Zhan Tian is worthy of being a candidate for the former ace police dog. He is much better than Femas in terms of alertness, and he will respond first to any trouble.

Zhang Zian opened the rolling door with a huff, and waved to it, "Zhan Tian, ​​go, come out to play with me."

Zhan Tian walked over obediently, he tied the leash, and led it out of the shop.

It was so early in the morning, it was dark outside, the street lights were still on, there were almost no people on the street, and the wind was blowing from the outer suburbs, carrying a faint smell of gunpowder. Zhang Zian took it for a walk along the street, and unknowingly walked to the door of Uncle Li's restaurant.

The lights in the restaurant were turned on early, and the busy figures of the old couple could be seen through the glass, but there were no customers yet. In the catering industry, one has to get up very early, and prepare semi-finished meals before customers arrive.

He opened the door and entered, and said hello: "Master, Madam, Happy New Year!"

Uncle Li and Aunt Li were meeting each other, and they raised their heads unexpectedly when they heard the words, "Ah! Master Zhang, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

They knew that Zhang Zian was very busy recently, and hadn't come to their restaurant for a long time.

"I got up early today, so I stopped by to have a look if I have nothing to do." Zhang Zian smiled, "Give me a bowl of wontons. By the way, I'll give him another bowl. It's a big bowl, made with pure meat."

He found a chair and sat down, patted Zhan Tian's head, "Sit."

Zhan Tian squatted obediently beside him.

"Okay! This dog is so well tamed, let him sit and sit, much better than those dogs in our country.

Aunt Li looked at Zhan Tian enviously, "We used to have a big wolf dog in our house, but it was trapped by someone..."

"It's been tricked?" Zhang Zian just woke up, he was afraid of disturbing the sleeping elves, he hadn't washed his face yet, his brain was not functioning well for the time being, and he didn't understand the words.

Aunt Li made a circular shape, "It's just a wooden pole with a wire hoop on it, which is specially used for tying dogs. In the past, there were people tying dogs in the city, because the dog breeds in the city Expensive and well-kept, but now there are too many surveillance cameras in the city, and those who trap dogs have all gone to our countryside. They usually work with two or three people, one drives or a motorcycle, and the other sits In the back seat, as long as the dog is walking on the side of the road, they will run away like a gust of wind! A wire loop strangles the dog's neck, coupled with the momentum of the motorcycle, the average dog will be strangled immediately , even if the stronger dog didn't faint, at least it was strangled until it foamed at the mouth, and it lost all the strength to struggle..."

Aunt Li could not help sighing when she recalled the dog that was taken away by the quilt in her old hometown. Even though the dog was just a common mutton dog in the countryside, it was not a rare breed, but after all, it was hand-fed with every bone and a bowl of rice. , who can't feel bad about being kidnapped like this.

Zhang Zian suddenly realized that he had heard about dog trapping, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. Maybe this kind of thing is really rare in the city, but it is more serious in the countryside. Especially now that many young people in the countryside have gone to work in big cities, and the rest are old, young, sick and disabled, and they are easy to be taken advantage of.

"Then how do we deal with these dogs after they are trapped?" He asked again.

Aunt Li shook her head, "I don't know too well, I heard that those people brought the trapped dogs back to the place where they lived, and the expensive dogs were sold to others, and the stray dogs were sold to dog meat shops and the like. ...my dog... hey..."

No one is willing to spend money to buy her native dog, and it is estimated that it will inevitably end up being sold to a dog meat restaurant.

Zhang Zian also sighed softly. It is possible to get it back if it is resold. If it is sold to a dog meat restaurant, I am afraid...

At this time, Uncle Li brought up hot wontons and scolded: "On the first day of the new year, Master Zhang rarely comes to eat at home. Don't you think these things will make people feel troubled! Go back to the back kitchen to help! I'm almost too busy Already!"

Aunt Li is not a vegetarian, she immediately stared and said, "I'm talking about mine, it's none of your business! How do you know that Master Zhang doesn't like to hear this?"

Zhang Zian was afraid that the two of them would quarrel, so he quickly smoothed things over and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I like to listen to it, it's considered knowledgeable..."

"Damn old man, do you hear that?" Aunt Li couldn't be bothered, her eyes widened even further.

The husband and wife always quarrel, and they have long been accustomed to it, and it will not affect the relationship between husband and wife.

Uncle Li put the wontons on Zhang Zian's table, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, eat slowly, don't listen to this old woman's nonsense, the dog in our family may not have been trapped, maybe it was lost... …One morning, the courtyard door of our hometown was open, the dog was lying on the courtyard door basking in the sun, and I was squatting next to pickling pickles, and then the woman called me in the house, so I went into the house, and it was only a few days before and after. After a few minutes, you won’t be able to find it when you come out.”

"According to what you say, are you still blaming me?" Aunt Li stopped doing it as soon as she heard it. "I called you because I had something to do. You knew that there were dogs in the neighborhood, and you didn't close the courtyard door before entering the house?"

Uncle Li also blew his beard and stared, "How can I think so much? You are in the house like a reminder, I answered you and you yelled, I thought you fell and hit your head, and you didn't even have time to wipe your hands after pickling the pickles , I hurried into the house to see what happened to you, and ended up with some trivial things, and lost the dog because of it..."

Before they got into a fight, Zhang Zian hurriedly interrupted Uncle Li's words: "Actually, Uncle Li, you are right, the dog is not tied up, right? It is indeed possible that he got lost, for example, a car passed by on the road, It looked interesting and chased after it..."

He knew that his words were not convincing, but it was better than pretending to be dumb.

Uncle Li nodded heavily, and then said: "I heard people say that this dog is spiritual when it is old, and our dog is not young, maybe it feels that time is running out, so he left us to find a quiet place to die Damn...it doesn't have to be someone who kidnapped her!"

He repeatedly emphasized that it is not necessarily the case of being kidnapped by someone, and maybe he still has a contingency in his heart, because being kidnapped by someone is a dead end, and if he gets lost or something, he may still be able to die.

This happens to reflect that Uncle Li loves that dog very much, and he does not want to imagine that it has suffered a tragic fate.

Aunt Li muttered a few times, and was about to refute his wife, when she heard the sound of boiling water in the back kitchen, Zhang Zian hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, you are such a well-trained dog, you must be careful, don't be taken away by others It's..."

After that, she trotted to the back kitchen to fill the thermos bottle with boiling water.

"This old woman knows how to bluff all day long...Master Zhang, don't take it to heart." Uncle Li gave her a glare from behind, then turned to Zhang Zian and said with a smile.

"It's okay, I really don't mind." Zhang Zian said with a smile, "Master Li, don't greet me anymore, just go and do your work, I'll just eat by myself."

"Hey, then eat slowly." The preparations in the morning were heavy, so Uncle Li said some polite words, and then returned to the back kitchen.

Zhang Zian lowered his head to scoop up a wonton, put it into his mouth along with the soup, and tasted that the temperature was just right. He added some chili and pepper powder a little more, and then looked around. It was too early, and there were no other customers at this time, so he put another paper bowl of pure meat wontons on the ground, and greeted Zhan Tian for breakfast . If someone else was eating, he wouldn't do this, so as not to annoy others.

After eating a bowl of hot wontons, fine beads of sweat appeared on his nose, and his whole body became warm.

Zhan Tian also finished eating wontons, and it could be seen that he liked it quite a bit, even drank a lot of soup.

Zhang Zian put the money handle on the table, greeted the kitchen, and left the shop with Zhan Tian.

It took about 20 minutes to eat breakfast, the sky was a little brighter, and there were more pedestrians on the road.

He led Zhan Tian for a while, and when he passed a lamppost, the lamp happened to be off, and then he noticed a piece of copy paper stuck on the lamppost from the corner of his eye.

Usually he would not pay attention to these, thinking that it was nothing more than deceitful small advertisements of old military doctors who specialize in skin diseases or rich women borrowing seeds to give birth, but this morning he was too busy, so he stopped and took a look. The paper was glued to the lamppost and swayed gently in the morning wind.

Notice of dog hunting:

At around 16:40 on December 30th, when I was walking my dog ​​near the family courtyard of Binhai University, the white Samoyed who was walking with me saw a stray cat chasing it, and suddenly disappeared at the corner of a residential building. Not found yet.

Its name is Tuantuan, a female dog. She is only 3 years old this year. She is about half a meter tall and 1.1 meters long. She is used to eating with the left tooth, so the left tooth is slightly worn.

Tuantuan is the pistachio of our family. My parents were so distressed that they could not sleep or eat for several days. If there is a good-hearted person who finds Tuantuan, I am willing to reward 10,000 yuan, and I will never break my promise.

If someone sees it beautiful and took it away, please do your best to return it, we will never hold it accountable, and we are also willing to donate it with a lot of money. If you also like dogs, I would like to buy a purebred Samoyed for you.

Tuantuan is not a purebred Samoyed, and it is really not worth much.

Behind the text was a photo of a Samoyed. Zhang Zian could tell at a glance that, as the owner had said, this Samoyed was beautiful, but it was indeed not purebred.

There is a string of phone numbers in the signature, and there is also a sentence: Please keep the sanitation master for a few days after seeing it, and I will be responsible for cleaning up the notices I posted, thank you!

Zhang Zian stopped to look carefully. From the lines in this notice, he could feel the master's care and anxiety. A purebred Samoyed is usually only a few thousand dollars. Its owner is willing to spend 10,000 yuan to retrieve this non-pure Samoyed. Lose it like this.

To be reasonable, notices about cats and dogs are quite common in the city, and Zhang Zian has seen them several times, especially for dogs like the sledge three fools who are not wary of strangers. easy to lose. And now many people walk their dogs without a leash. Once the dog is attracted by something and chases after it, it is very difficult for people to catch up. It is similar to the loss process in the notice.

Perhaps because of the influence of Uncle Li and his wife just now, Zhang Zian suddenly became a little suspicious. Could this Samoyed be kidnapped by someone?

He read the dog hunting notice again, and noticed the words "sudden disappearance". Maybe the owner also felt that the disappearance process was a bit weird, so he described it like this.

But this is what he thinks too much, maybe this dog is just lost in an ordinary way.

Zhan Tian was sniffing around the lamppost, Zhang Zian held it and said, "Let's go, Zhan Tian, ​​let's go home."
