Snakehead's foot was sprained. Because it was summer, he was wearing five-length pants, and when his foot sank in, he was scratched with blood by a broken branch.
The trap is not deep, and the snake head sinks only to the knees, but there are all kinds of dirt inside, including spoiled melon flesh, other household garbage, and the smell of urine.
The anger of the snake head soared, but now is not the time to be angry, he didn't care about the injury on his foot, he held the flashlight and held the dagger to find out who was going against him.
The villagers standing not far behind Snaketou felt that something had swiped past, and goosebumps all over their bodies, especially when they heard Snaketou's words "I hit the evil", their backs were chilly.
"I really didn't see anything just now! I just felt... a little cold..." The villagers shivered. He actually believed the ghosts and gods, and he also helped Snake Head to do some bad things. Looking back now, he feels guilty. , it feels like something "dirty" is staring at.
The movement of the snakehead stepping into the trap just now was a bit loud. This family has a dog, barking. Zheng Tan decided to add fire. After pushing the snake's head, he quickly ran into the vegetable garden, and the distance between the fences was just enough for him to pass without jumping. He found a stone from the surroundings, and before the snake head noticed it, he slammed it towards the window of the house.
Snapped!
The sound of glass shattering sounded.
The dogs inside were barking even louder, and the lights in the house were on. The back door creaked open, and a sturdy big dog shot out, easily over the fence, and headed towards the snake's head, biting the arm holding the knife. The dagger fell to the ground.
"what-"
A scream disturbed the silence of the night.
Zheng Tan hid beside the wooden shed and hooked his tail, it hurt to hear it. Should!
That dog should have a similar experience in catching thieves. It rushed over too fast, jumping over the fence and biting people without hesitation at all. I don't know if it bit the arm of the snake head holding the knife by accident or intentional, anyway. Zheng Tan thought this dog had a good bite!
The house owner who rushed out with the hoe was murderous, thinking it was a thief, but after seeing it clearly, he recognized the villager who was with the "snake head", and it took him a long time to understand that it was a misunderstanding. Biting and biting, as for the trap, it was dug by the group of children in the village. Many people know that it is none of their business. The owner of the house is also a sturdy character, especially after seeing the dagger with the snake's head falling on the ground, the color is even worse. How can he take responsibility? In the end, he can only blame the snake head for his own bad luck.
Zheng Tan slipped away while they were chatting. The dog barked wildly at the snake's head and didn't look anywhere else at all. With the cover of the night, no one noticed Zheng Tan and walked easily.
The next day, Mr. Gu was going to take the two children to a friend's place to see the turtles. The old man planned to buy a few turtle seedlings for the children to play with, and he could also bring them back to Chuhua City to raise them. place. Before leaving, someone came to look for Mr. Gu, so the plan to go out in the morning was pushed to the afternoon.
There was nothing to do in the morning, Xiaoyouzi was painting, Zheng Tan looked at it, and the painting was the little girl with a broken bucket and a sickle on her back.
"I heard that she is often beaten, so thin, will she get sick?" Xiaoyouzi said to Zheng Tan, who was lying on the table while drawing.
After painting, Xiaoyouzi thought of something and asked Zheng Tan, "Do you know where she is?"
Zheng Tan thought for a while and nodded. Although he didn't know where the girl was now, it was enough to know where she would go. Zheng Tan rarely pretends to be stupid when facing Xiaoyouzi alone. Anyway, Xiaoyouzi doesn't talk nonsense outside, so sometimes it is more direct to express his meaning.
Little Grapefruit got down from the chair, flipped through her bag, and took out a bag of candy, which was never opened, and there were about 20 sugar in each bag.
"Give this to her, I have a lot more." Xiaoyouzi looked at Zheng Tan expectantly.
Zheng Tan nodded again. He quite agrees with Xiaoyouzi's approach. That girl's life is really distressing, and a bag of sugar is not very important to Xiaoyouzi.
After wiping the edge of the bag of sugar with water, Xiao Yuzi handed it to Zheng Tan. She knew that the black cat in front of her was sometimes a little clean and didn't like to mess around with things.
Zheng Tan ran out with the bag of sugar in his mouth, but didn't go to Yetang. Usually that girl was not at Yetang in the morning, so Zheng Tan went directly to the "secret base" that girl took him to last time.
Without seeing the girl, Zheng Tan put the bag of candy in the place where she hid things, and went back after not much longer.
Not long after Zheng Tan left, the tanned little girl walked over. She glanced at the side where she was hiding and knew that she had been flipped. Her eyes narrowed, thinking that someone had stolen something, so she quickly ran over to remove the cover. grass.
What caught my eye was a bag of candy, and the packaging was very familiar.
She had just finished eating the candy last time, and she regretted it when she slept last night. She dreamed that there was another bag of candy, but she didn't expect it to be there.
Carefully tore open the bag, peeled a piece of candy into her mouth, and then hid the rest of the candy, searched around carefully, and finally found shallow cat footprints in one place. If it takes a while, If the wind is strong and the dust is blown away, the footprints will not be visible.
In a good mood, the little girl decided to go home to see if there was any leftovers. At this time, the family should have finished eating. Then in the afternoon, continue to go to the wild pond to fish for shrimp.
As soon as she stepped into the house, the little girl found that there were guests at the house, and these three guests, she had seen when she was in the woods, the black cat was on guard against these people, and she was definitely not a good person.
"This is my little nine." The person sitting on the chair, smoking a cigarette and smiling flatteringly, pointed to the little girl who had just entered the door. He is the head of the household.
Aware that something was wrong, the little girl turned around and was about to run away, but before she could run out the door, she was firmly clamped.
On the other side, Mr. Gu took the two children to see the turtles. This farmer mainly raised some turtles and turtles. Seeing that the two children liked them, the man planned to send a few seedlings of Brazilian tortoises to the little grapefruit. Mr. Gu waved his hand, as long as Two, too many can't be raised, the child is just a fresh idea. The man also gave him a glass fish tank. Old Man Gu didn't like to owe people, so the two pushed it back and forth, and finally Old Man Gu just gave the man twenty dollars.
"Hey, Uncle Gu, it's really worth twenty..." The man was about to continue speaking, but Mr. Gu glared at him and stopped talking. He shook his head and went into the room with a smile. When he came out, he took two packs of turtle feed and stuffed them into the glass. Inside the tank, without waiting for Old Man Gu to speak, he patted his butt and left.
When they went back, the two children were teasing the turtle while walking, so the speed slowed down a lot, and Zheng Tan stopped and waited for them after walking for a while.
A soil toad jumped out of the grass, Zheng Tan had nothing to do and went over to tease, the soil toad kept jumping forward, and when it jumped into the grass by the roadside, Zheng Tan pressed it to the ground with one paw, Let it croak without loosening its claws, thinking in my heart: Demo, let's see where you can jump.
After waiting for two minutes, Zheng Tan slowly let go of his palm, and the toad jumped away as if running for his life, crossed the concrete road next to it, and disappeared into the field on the other side.
Zheng Tan was squatting in the grass and watching the toad over there disappear, and a Santa pulled over. It is estimated that a car pulling stones ran by in the morning, and some small stones were scattered and piled up on the road. When the Santara pulled over, it slowed down to bypass the stones on the side and continued to drive.
When the Santara was going around the stones, Zheng Tan saw the person leaning against the rear window and the person sitting in the driver's seat. The person in the driver's seat was smoking, and the windows were all open. Zheng Tan saw the driver. The last time he was with the snakehead, he should have been in a group.
The rear window was covered with film, half open, and only half of the face above the nose was exposed, but Zheng Tan was still easily recognized, and the other party also saw Zheng Tan squatting in the grass.
Why is that girl in the car? Still with those people? !
Hearing what the little girl said before, Zheng Tan thought that they didn't come to the village to buy children, but now it seems that Zheng Tan was wrong.
Without thinking any further, Zheng Tan chased after him. But how can a cat compare to a car? What's more, the road is flat, there are no other cars blocking the road around, and the speed of the vehicle is relatively fast. After bypassing those stones, the car started to accelerate, as if eager to get out of here, and quickly shook Zheng Tan away.
Zheng Tan could only watch the car drive further and further, until it turned into a black spot and disappeared.
Inside the car, the little girl who was attached to the window looked back from the window. The little girl who didn't cry even though she was beaten up by her own father, her eyes were red and tears fell. After ten years, I lived in this village for ten years. When I finally left, the only one who kept me was a cat.
The person next to her who was staring at her looked at the rear window of the car, but didn't see anyone chasing after her, and then looked at the little girl next to her, she just thought it was a child who couldn't bear to be at home, it was nothing to cry, just a child, It's normal to cry when taken away by a stranger. They didn't cry before and they still felt that something was wrong with the child. Now they are relieved.
Zheng Tan was panting beside the concrete road, the car was no longer in his field of vision. He wanted to record the license plate, but found that there was a flap on the license plate. He didn't understand that even if he bought a child, wouldn't that little girl still have two older sisters? How could it be her turn so soon
When he went back wobbly, Xiaoyouzi was calling Zheng Tan's cat name, and he knew he was in a hurry when he heard the sound.
Seeing Zheng Tan's return, Xiaoyouzi was about to say a few words, but found that Zheng Tan's state was not right, and he didn't say any words of reproach.
In the next few days, everyone clearly found that something was wrong with Zheng Tan. He was usually so energetic, but now he was slack, as if he was not interested in anything. After running out once, he became even more sluggish, and his appetite was less.
Old Man Gu said that he must have missed a female cat, and he even borrowed two sturdy female cats from someone else's house. As a result, when the two cats saw Zheng Tan, they stayed far away and never approached. A female cat in heat wouldn't come close to Zheng Tan.
Jiao's mother wanted to take him to the veterinarian, but Zheng Tan couldn't go. In order to reassure Jiao's mother and the others, Zheng Tan's appetite returned to the past, but he didn't look as good as before.
In the past few days, after Zheng Tan came back, he went to that girl's "secret base" several times to make sure that she never came back.
Listening to people talking while out in the shade one night.
"Sell another one so soon?"
"I heard that this time it's Xiao Jiu."
"Xiaoqi and Xiaoba are still there, why did you choose Xiaojiu?"
"Who knows, maybe it was because Xiao Jiu was the youngest to buy it."
"Well, that kid didn't even finish the first grade, but I heard that he did well in school..."
"That Xiao Jiu has a fierce temper. It's completely different from her sisters. How can she sell it?" A young voice sounded.
"What nonsense are you talking about, just shut up if you don't know!" An old man beside him scolded.
"Alas, sin!"
Zheng Tan went to the next village to find the little girl's house, but heard that her father was drunk and fell into the fish pond the night before. He was rescued and sent to the hospital in the town. . Zheng Tan didn't hear any other useful news. The people in this village, including Xiaoyatou's family, only knew that Xiaojiu had been sold. As for why it was sold to those people, it was not clear.
At the end of August, Jiao's mother took her child and cat and was about to leave. The school will start in a few days.
