Ah Dang's family 宫部美雪 11484Words 2018-03-15
The outbound flight was very early, so Kayo and others checked into a hotel in Narita the night before departure.In other words, from that night on, I was alone. Two or three hours after Kadai and the others set off for Narita—about 11 o'clock in the evening, there was a sound of unlocking the door of the office, and Miss Junko poked her head in: "Good night." At the same time, the electric light "snaked" lights up.I got up from my usual place in the office - the cushion between the sofa and Kayo-chan's desk - and met Junko-san face to face. "Oh, Ah Zheng, you are here." Sister Junzi smiled.It's impossible for me not to be here, but Miss Chunzi must say this every time she sees me.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" Miss Junko shook my leash, and I responded by wagging my tail.If it's for Xiao Kayo and Xiaoxi, you don't have to ask and respond one by one like this when walking, but facing Junko, I still feel a little uncomfortable.In order to really communicate well, I also had to react frequently. Junko was wearing white trousers and a T-shirt, a pair of old plastic slippers, and a white towel wrapped around her neck. If she wore an apron, she would look like a late-night vegetable shop lady. "It's hot and stuffy. It's uncomfortable. Do you want to go for a walk in the water park?"

The water park is near the office. It is a place transformed by filling a canal with beautiful scenery.Since it used to be a canal, the structure of the park is quite peculiar, and it is slender. If you enter from the east entrance, turn back at the west entrance, and leave from the east entrance, this route can run for a long distance.In addition, vehicles are not allowed to enter, and this is also the morning walking route for me and Xiao Jiadai, which is already a popular and familiar route.It's just that due to some problems, I haven't stepped in late at night recently. Even so, I looked up at Junko-san and wagged my tail.Regarding the recent "certain problems" in the water park, I think that as long as she arrives at the scene, Junko will remember it.As for how to act when the time comes, leave it to her to decide.

"Here, let's go out!" Sister Junko tied the leash to my collar, and after finishing speaking energetically, she trotted out.I quite like Junko's brisk footsteps. Her speed allows me to move forward at the speed of "Benz" in equestrian for about 60% of the whole walking time.It's just the right amount of exercise. Many owners who raise dogs, love dogs, and give proper discipline to dogs are unexpectedly ignorant and negligent about the walking speed suitable for the dog's breed, age, sex, and health status.This incident really surprised and frustrated me.For example, when I went for a walk with the stupid Moroka Shinya, he ran from beginning to end, and I was exhausted when I was not young; on the other hand, the director always walked slowly, and I My body can't fully stretch at all, and I feel even more lazy after walking.

According to the conversation I heard before, Sister Junzi has raised dogs and even accompanied the bitch to give birth. She must have quite practical and personal knowledge about us and other dogs.Junko is the kind of person who can't help leaning over to talk to a dog when she sees it, but I've never seen her behave inappropriately towards a dog.For example, no matter how docile a dog is, she will not suddenly reach out and stroke the dog's head while standing. She will definitely squat down, meet the dog's eyes and say hello, and then ask the owner, "Can I touch the dog's head?" Is it?" After getting permission, he stroked the dog's neck area.If the dog's condition is very good, and the owner and Junko sister share the same love for dogs, she will shake hands with the owner "hi hi" and say goodbye with a smile on her face.If although the dog shows sad and troubled eyes, the owner keeps boasting about how precious the dog is, how much effort he has spent in caring for it, or complaining that the dog is not enthusiastic enough and scolding the dog while Miss Junzi is stroking the dog It's just a useless watchdog, etc. This kind of talk that doesn't need to make irresponsible remarks in front of me (this dog), then Junko will continue to scold the owner after saying goodbye politely.

Tonight seemed to be a sweltering night too, the heat like a wet blanket wrapped me and Junko-san, and we started sweating soon, and we continued to move forward.On the main road, the last bus with red lights on passed by.Occasionally, I saw a few passers-by, either office workers who had just finished drinking, or young pink-collar workers who were rushing home in front of the gate. They walked towards the door without distraction. On the way to the water park, the residents of this small town are about to go to bed. The only brightly lit and awkward store is a convenience store called "LIFE-LIGHT".The 24-hour shop was originally a small but elegant hotel. Two years ago, the previous generation of owners handed over the hotel to the current small owner, and the hotel changed careers.When Kayo returns from his morning walk, he will buy some milk and bread here, which is quite convenient.When I suddenly run out of dog food, I will also come here to make an emergency replenishment.But at night, this store becomes an unflattering place.Because this convenience store also sells alcohol, there are sometimes drunks hanging out here; more often, a group of middle school students often gather in front of the store, making one wonder how the parents of these children discipline their children.

One night three months ago, Xiaoxi took me to buy toilet paper, and I was harassed by those young people with dyed blonde hair, forcing me to show my sharp teeth that I hadn’t seen for a long time.After that time, Xiaoxi was too scared to approach this store again.The boss of the previous generation was a good businessman. The shop he managed with painstaking efforts has become like this in his son's generation. He must feel extremely distressed. But tonight the door of "LIFE-LIGHT" is empty.As far as the store is concerned, it should not be happy to see that the "store entrance" is more lively than the "store", so this should be regarded as a good thing.However, there was a girl in uniform—probably a high school student—clinging close to the card-type payphone installed next to the automatic door of the store, as if talking on the phone with a friend.

Just when I was lamenting how outrageous young people are these days, when I passed by a girl who looked like she was holding a public phone and talking loudly, Miss Junko said loudly: "What are you doing! Go home!" I didn't look back, but the dog clan's field of vision is wider than that of humans. In the corner of my field of vision, I caught a glimpse of the girl straightening her upper body in fright, and watched Junzi leave.Then, she heard her scolding in a low voice: "What are you doing... Damn my wife." Fortunately, Miss Junko didn't seem to hear.She sped up a little bit, marching forward like a race, muttering in a low voice:

"Really—I really want to see what her parents look like. They are still hanging out in uniform at such a late hour. Isn't that right, Ah Zheng?" You are right, but the girl's parents are probably watching TV or something, so they probably don't care at all.Or is already asleep. Junko continued to say indignantly: "Also, how come the current high school uniform skirt is so short? If you squat down a little, won't all the panties be seen? If I were it, I would definitely tell my daughter that I dressed like this when I was a student, and I plan to dress like this in the future. Do you want to work in that kind of industry that shows people's underwear for a living?"

If they hear Junko say that, the girls will definitely fight back: "No one wants to see your underwear, old woman!" Although this kind of argument is illogical, emotionally, I have to agree with it, so there is nothing I can do about it. The water park began to be seen in front of my eyes.The trees on autumn and winter nights are dark and gloomy, but the woods on midsummer nights look dark gray-green. Is the darkness diluted by the heat? Perhaps a little out of breath, Miss Junko stopped before the entrance and exit of the water park.She breathed evenly and wiped the sweat with the towel around her neck.I turned my head and looked around, but there was no one.The asphalt on the road surface still had the heat from the day, it was so hot that it seemed soft to the touch, and the pads on the soles of the feet felt sick.

Sister Chunzi wiped off the sweat from her face, said "OK", and pulled me, and I followed obediently.The signboard in front of the entrance and exit of the water park is also clearly visible from my distance.The length and width are about the size of a tatami mat vertically cut in half, and the black and red paint on the white baseboard is written with big characters. "what?" Junko walked through the gate and finally noticed when she came near the signboard. Her expression suddenly became serious.The board reads: Notice! Since the beginning of this year, incidents such as vicious robbery and intimidation committed by criminal groups have frequently occurred in water parks at night, and there have been cases of further development into injuries.Please be extra careful when crossing or passing through the park late at night.If you are unfortunately victimized or witness a suspicious person, please call 110 immediately to call the police. At the end of the board, there is also a contact number of the police station in the jurisdiction.The sign looks quite new, maybe the old one was dirty or damaged and it was recently replaced with a new one.It was around February this year that Kayo and I saw the warning sign in the park for the first time. "Oh, I hate it, I don't even know." Miss Junko proudly scratched her head.I wagged my tail to get her attention.Then turn your nose towards the one-way paved road that runs along the water park.There are street lamps there, and it's bright—although the pads will be uncomfortable. "Ah Zheng, you don't want to go into the park, do you?" Junko is very sharp.To be exact, it's not that I don't want to go in, but that I don't want Junko to enter the park. "Then let's go another way." After Junzi finished speaking, she started jogging again. "Sweat a little more and the beer will taste better when you get home. Let's go!" It seems that there is a gang of unscrupulous teenagers robbing and blackmailing in the water park - this rumor has spread to the members of Hasumi Detective Agency at the end of last year.After all, it is a local matter, and Hasumi Detective Agency has been in touch with the police station in the jurisdiction. Although it is a rumor, it is highly credible. The content of the rumors at the time: two or three cases were that passers-by were robbed by passers-by on bicycles, and the other was that two female high school students who were traveling at night were surrounded by a gang of teenagers, and their belongings were looted.After the director heard about this incident, he was always worried that if the criminal group was not caught as soon as possible, the teenagers would definitely get worse. In fact, the director's worries came true.At the end of January after the Chinese New Year, after midnight one night, an office worker in his fifties returned home from the New Year's party. When he passed the water park drunk (that road was a shortcut), he was surrounded by three teenagers. They were beaten and their briefcases and wallets were robbed.The on-site inspection of this robbery case had just been completed, and before eleven o'clock the next night, a housewife in her forties who was walking her dog in the water park was threatened by two teenagers with a knife.The housewife did not bring her purse to go out, but one of the teenagers cut her arm, and the injury took two weeks to recover.Then, three days later, at about the same time, another young office worker passing by the park was attacked, but this time no one was injured or lost. It is said that the office worker slipped away fast enough. Hasumi Office is worried and believes that the police should warn the local residents as soon as possible.On the other hand, Director Hasumi strictly forbade Kayo-chan to take me for a walk in the water park late at night, and Kayo-chan obeyed obediently.But even if he didn't enter the park, Kayo took me for a walk around the park almost every night.At that time, I found that Kanban. After the billboard was erected, news of the danger of the water park quickly spread among local residents.Pedestrians are far less at night, and schools ask school children not to pass here after sunset.Warning leaflets have also been posted in front of stations, bus stops, and town hall offices. However, Junko-san is ignorant of these movements.She lives alone, is engaged in self-employment, has no connection with the activities of the town club, and has no children, and has nothing to do with the school—thus, it is difficult for information to reach her ears. Luckily she gave up going to the park tonight.I breathed a sigh of relief.Otherwise, according to Chunzi's personality, she might roll up her sleeves and say: "Ah Zheng, I'll just ask you to be the bodyguard! I'll replace those useless policemen and catch those dead brats!" In fact, Kayo has this plan too.She would take me around the park every night, also for walking and patrolling.She figured that if she heard a "wow~" or "ah~" distress call from the park, she would pull me over immediately.But my heart is always in a cold sweat, and I pray that this kind of thing will not really happen.Although Kayo-chan has learned kung fu in a self-defense classroom and has obtained a certificate, even if he is attacked by bad elements, he can take more correct actions than ordinary young girls, but he may still be outnumbered; although my teeth are still sharp, my jaw is still sharp. There is only one thing, if you follow the expert rule of "do not fight uncertain battles", you should not act recklessly. Junko-san and I finished our walk peacefully and returned home very thirsty.Junko made me drink clean water before moistening her throat with beer, then brushed my messy hair with a brush, turned off the lights, carefully locked the door of the office, and went home. In this way, I fell asleep quietly at night alone, without dreaming.But it may be that the housekeeping responsibilities have put my nerves on edge, and I'm a light sleeper.At dawn, I woke up when the student bicycle passed by the office, staring blankly at the color of the morning sun coming in through the blinds. Then——I suddenly heard a strange sound. From afar, someone—yes, "who", "person", obviously with two legs—approached.Walking fast, the sound of footsteps pattering loudly, listening carefully, you can feel that the footsteps are very light, like a child.But for a child, the steps are a bit heavy—or should I say irregular or uncomfortable.Is the other party carrying something? I pricked up my ears in the dark office, concentrating.The footsteps continued to approach and stopped at the main entrance of the office.At first glance, the stainless steel door looks like a normal house, but it should be tightly closed now, and a small notice is pasted next to the doorbell - with small Kayo's writing on it, stating that the office is closed for four days. There was movement outside, someone was sneaking outside the door.On the other side of the door, someone seemed to have left something at the door of the office.I hurried around to the back door, where there was a small door that I could have walked through even with the door closed. I went through the small gate, bypassed the bicycle parked next to the building, and ran to the main gate.A cardboard box the size of a bridge box stood alone in front of the gate.I seemed to be a step behind, there was no one around, even if I looked around, there was no escaped suspect. The side of the cardboard box had "Highland Cabbage" printed on it, and the box wasn't taped shut, and one side of the box was tilted up toward the mail box at the door. As I approached the box, I smelled animals.I was startled, and my ears pricked up even more. The dropped cardboard box moved quietly, and I quickly jumped away. There was a rustling sound from the cardboard box, and there was an animal smell.That smell reminds me of when I got lost and ran into the elementary school campus when I was a child.Although it is the distant past, the memory of the taste is very vivid.After all, I am a wolfhound who has served as a police dog. Elementary School Campus - a rearing hut in the corner surrounded by green barbed wire. I craned my neck to peek inside the cardboard box.At the dark bottom, which was blocked from the light by the lid, there were five pairs of eyeballs looking up at me shiningly.The hair on my back instantly stood on end. I don't know if it's intentional or purely coincidental, but the "Highland Cabbage" box contains animals that like to eat cabbage.For a while, I doubted what I was seeing, but I was sure I was right. Inside, there were five little rabbits curled up together. "It's so cute, here, eat more." Sister Junzi sat beside the carton with a smile on her face. She fed cabbage, lettuce and carrots to the little rabbits in the box one by one. "Is it delicious? So cute." The gentle and joyful sound seems to come from the top of the head, so small animals are more popular. After discovering the little rabbits, there was nothing I could do, so I had to wait by the carton for Sister Junzi.It was a ridiculous sight, but luckily no one saw it so early in the morning, and besides, I had no choice. Most of us urban animals, be they dogs, birds, or cats, can communicate with each other.At this time, the human language used locally is also the common language among animals.This is like living in Japan, regardless of whether Americans, French or Iranians, are talking in Japanese.Not only that, just as Americans are unaccustomed to Japanese food, French people laugh at Japanese living habits, and Iranians are surprised that Japanese people have no religion, there are also interracial differences between dogs and cats, cats and birds, birds and rabbits. The difference or surprise, or ridicule disgust. I have no way of telling how long the bunnies in the plateau cabbage cartons have been born, but they are too young to talk to me, they are just babies.But as expected, they were born in the town, and even if they smelled me, they would not run away in panic or be afraid, which really made me feel relieved. As far as freelancers are concerned, Junko-san is quite an early riser. She wakes up around 7 o'clock every day, and this day is the same.She found me sitting in front of Hasumi's office, the rabbit fur on my nose made me sneeze, so she noticed the cardboard box. As soon as Sister Chunzi confirmed the contents of the box, she immediately asked, "Ah Zheng, where did you pick up these rabbits?" I didn't pick it up. "It's not a cat, it's a rabbit. But—" Junko put the rabbits on her hands one by one, as if checking the brightness of their eyes and the condition of their fur. "Every one is very healthy and must have been well taken care of before. The five are all small rabbits. Maybe the person who raised a pair of rabbits couldn't afford to raise a newborn rabbit, so they lost it. The rabbits are really good. It will happen." Junko doesn't just like dogs, it should be said that she likes animals.I don't know anything about rabbits, I know better than Miss Junko, only the person who left the little rabbit in front of the office this morning has a 99% chance of being a child.From the sound of footsteps, you can't go wrong.And the kid was alone, I heard no other footsteps or conversations. If rabbits kept as pets overpopulate and have to be discarded, do children do it alone?Or did the parents ask the child to take it and throw it away?This is too cruel.From a common sense point of view, Junko's reasoning is very logical, but I don't think it applies to this situation. Really anxious!Junko-san will also speak to me, just like she speaks to Kayo-chan and Xiao-kei, she seems to believe that I can understand.In fact, I can indeed understand that I am so anxious now.If only I had a vocal organ capable of speaking human language, or Junko-san could understand animals, I could tell her about the footsteps this morning. "Even if there are other animals around, Ah Zheng doesn't care. You really are a steady dog." Junko patted my neck.That's right, Miss Junko, I won't bully a little rabbit.However, I still hope you don't touch me with the hand that touched the little rabbit, it will leave a smell. "It's too pitiful for you to take care of them all the time. I will ask the landlord to accommodate and keep the little rabbits with me until I find someone who is willing to adopt them." That's great, I can't wait for it!After the little rabbits were taken away, I breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of my heart and took a nap for a while. I was even thankful that Miss Junko was so fond of the little rabbits that she forgot to take me for a walk. Although there was some turmoil early in the morning, the rest of the day passed peacefully.When staying in the office to watch the house, the fax machine would occasionally beep electronically, and then rattle again, spitting out paper.Perhaps those contracted investigators who did not participate in the trip continued to work without rest and sent the investigation report.The phone barely rang, and Kayo seemed to have notified all related parties before leaving. At dusk, the office shutters reflected the maroon sunset, when the phone rang in Hasumi's living room on the second floor.It's not the phone number of the office, but the phone number of Hasumi's own house.The phone was switched to an answering machine, and Xiaoxi's recording told the other party that the whole family was going on a trip for four days and three nights.As soon as the recording ended, Susumu Moroka on the other end of the phone said hurriedly, "Huh? What? Are you really going on a trip? I thought you guys were joking." I listened on the stairs on the first floor and snorted.This kind of message is simply a waste of tapes! "Isn't it boring to travel as a family? Kayo and Shiko are too busy. Traveling should be more exciting." What is thunderbolt travel? "I can't help it. I'll call you when you come back. Bye." The phone hangs up.If I knew how to do it, I would definitely climb to the second floor and delete the message just now.Or just unplug it? If it's too obvious, I'm afraid it will scare Xiao Kayo and Xiaoxi, so I have been keeping a low profile as much as possible; in fact, I can do such a small thing as switching electrical appliances.I can turn on things like the TV by myself; the same goes for the phone, as long as my feet are within reach of the phone body, I can press the speaker button to set it as a hands-free handset, and then press the number button to dial the number. .As for the public telephone, I don't have any.Also, it is impossible for me to press the bean-sized buttons of the mobile phone accurately. As for the complicated actions of operating the answering machine, my feet are really overwhelmed.Needless to say, I also couldn't call Changshou Temple to order "one serving of fried tofu Qiangmai noodles and two servings of Qiangmai cold noodles".It looks like it can do anything, but it's not. Speaking of inconvenience, even with a collar and a name tag around my neck and a clean and shiny fur, I still can't go out alone in broad daylight.This is perhaps the greatest inconvenience.You ask me why?Because humans do not necessarily like dogs, and there are not a few people who are afraid of dogs. When such people see a large wolf dog walking alone on the sidewalk without the company of its owner, they may be so frightened that they immediately call 110 to call the police.Although I was a police dog in the past, I would not be able to enjoy myself in the police circle because of this relationship; I also don't like to cause unnecessary commotion. Because of this consideration, I also patiently waited until sunset into night this day.Junko came earlier than yesterday, and took me for a walk at ten o'clock in the evening, but she chose a shorter trip than yesterday, and returned to the office after 30 minutes.Needless to say, it was because of the bunny in her room.I don't care, because my real activity time is after Miss Junko says good night to me and goes home. Eleven thirty in the evening.After checking the office's electronic clock to confirm the time, I got up and walked through the small door to go out.The last bus has already left, and the number of pedestrians has decreased. At this time, I don't need to care about the eyes of passers-by, and I can conduct investigations.What do you ask me to investigate?Maybe someone near the office—a dog or a cat or a sparrow or a crow—witnessed the owner who brought those bunnies, didn't he? I headed first to a stylish three-story building on the north street of Hasumi Office.The nameplate on the door of this family says "Aoki", and they have a beautiful Shiba Inu, who just gave birth to a child a month ago, and Le Rongrong lives in a sturdy dog ​​house next to the house.You can talk to her through the barbed wire at night.The light footsteps sounded like they were coming from this direction too. "Mr. Ah Zheng, good night." The bitch saw me and lifted her neck.A pair of pupils reflected the night, making them look even darker.The owner, Mr. Aoki, seems to be very proud of her, but the only ones who truly appreciate how beautiful she is are probably only us, who are also members of the dog family. "Good night. Are the children asleep?" "Not yet. I love staying up late, it's really troublesome." She was right, the kid was awake and playing after his own tail.As soon as he saw me, he said, "Ah, it's Uncle Ah Zheng." "Are you ready to go to the training school? If you stay up late, you will be scolded." "Really? Will I be scolded?" "Yeah, so go to sleep now." The female dog has been to the training school by herself and knows that even if the separation is only a short-term thing, it is inevitable that she will still be worried if she is separated from the puppy.These days, every time she sees me, she just talks about it.Every time I would comfort her and say, "Three weeks passed in a flash." ’ But the problem is not the time. Although we didn’t say it, it is very clear that after three weeks of training, there will be dramatic changes in the children.Puppies will transform into full-fledged adults.Of course, this event itself is worthy of joy, but it is also true that the joy brought to the mother by the child will never return. I briefly explained my purpose to the bitch.Not only was she beautiful, but she was also intelligent and understood me right away. "This morning...the sound of children's footsteps? I don't know, I didn't hear it." "Well, I'm not sure if it's from here or not." "I did hear a bicycle, but it might have been a newspaper delivery." "Does that smell like a rabbit?" "Rabbit...I have already forgotten what a rabbit smells like." The bitch laughed. "Does Uncle Ah Zheng live with the rabbit?" the child asked with his eyes wide open. "Fortunately not." "Is the rabbit delicious?" "It should be worse than your canned food, and it takes a lot of work to eat, so it's best not to get close to the rabbit." After I thanked both mother and son, I left.While strolling casually, I heard the other side of the road, the sharp-eared Harash began to shout: "Hey, come here Su!" I wanted to rush over before he was scolded by the owner, but I didn't have time.When I arrived, Harashyu had already been poured a bucket of water from the window on the second floor. "Hey, Uncle, are you going for a walk?" Harashu said to me with a smile while the water was still dripping from his head. "You are also really hardworking." "New suffering? What is new suffering?" Hara Hugh was a mongrel dog mixed with boxer blood, which was adopted by the current owner-an iron factory owner-in half a year ago. The owner of the ironworks, rain, wind, or snow, always—and this is not an exaggeration—tie him to the place where the scrap iron was dumped.When I first met Harash, I was shocked by its tragic situation and asked if its previous owner knew it was treated like this?Want to go back to the previous owner?Harashyu was stunned for a moment and said that it lived the same life with its previous owner, and it has been like this since birth.Will be adopted by the owner of the iron factory, it seems that the previous owner is tired of Harash. According to my estimate, Harashyu is about three years old now, and he is already an imposing adult dog. It may be because the owner has been ignoring him, and his personality is very childish.No matter how many times I've seen it, it still can't remember my name and always calls me "Uncle". The order of my instructions is reversed. "Harashu" is its name. It is said that it seems to be a foreign language. It was given by the owner of the iron factory (I don't know if it is pure or lazy, but I heard that the previous owner called it boxer dog).The intention of the owner of the iron factory to give it this name is unclear, maybe it is the nickname of the owner's enemy, he helped the pet to give the name of the enemy, abused the pet, and indirectly retaliated; I can only think so. Harashyu was always hungry, thirsty, dirty, infested with fleas, and constantly suffering from skin diseases and diarrhea.In front of him, his water bowl was empty, and there were only a few dry chicken bones in his rice bowl, which smelled so bad.How long has the food been there?I haven't seen Haraxiu for about three days. It's been so hot for several days that its figure has lost weight, and its ribs can even be counted. "Uncle Uncle is lucky. He goes out whenever he likes to go out. Where is Uncle going? If only he could take me with him. What did Uncle do today? Is there anything fun? What delicious food did you eat? I'm bored It's going to die, but it's really hot." Harashu is very lonely and longs for love and friendship, so his ears are extremely sensitive, and he can sense the approaching dog breath at once. Whenever someone approaches, he will pant "ha, ha" and talk non-stop.I sat down next to Harashu, skillfully interrupted its continuous chatter, and explained the purpose of my visit. "Rabbit...how does a rabbit look like?" "Small, with long ears." "Like a poodle?" Harashu could barely distinguish between dog breeds, only poodles.Because its owner also raised a pure white poodle.It was just an indoor dog, and it was treated differently from Harashu, and the owner cared for it like a jewel in the palm of his hand.By the way, the poodle doesn't think much of Harashyu, but Harashyu is infatuated with her.That's a bitch.Speaking of which, for some reason, I don't seem to have ever met a male poodle in town. "No, the ears are not hanging down like a poodle, they are standing up." "Oh... I don't understand." Harashyu seemed to have no imagination.For a long time, its world has been limited to a radius of one meter in length of the chain. Living in such a life, it is impossible to cultivate imagination. Every time I meet Harashu, I get so angry.The owner of Harashyu doesn't simply hate dogs or troubles, but actively takes pleasure in abusing Harashyu.The best evidence is that he ignored Harahu, but loved the poodle in every possible way.Harashu was not allowed to live a happy life, and often scolded it for being stupid and useless, kicked it from time to time, refused to feed it, and splashed water on it.If a human child encounters such a thing, the parents will definitely be questioned, but human laws do not protect pets.In the past, I would listen to Xiao Jiadai chatting with the criminal police of the district police station, and mentioned that pets are treated as objects in law.Although Harashu was abused, no one could report on its owner. During several walks, I forcefully dragged Kadai to the iron factory where Harashyu was, and asked her to see Harashyu.Little Kadai immediately noticed Harashu's tragic situation and was very sad.She even discussed with the boss, using the excuse of wanting to raise a boxer dog, hoping to adopt Harashu. However, the owner of the iron factory coldly refused.He said, Harahu is the treasure of our family, so he will not give it to anyone.What a baby!I was finally sure at the time that the Iron Works owner was just a sadist who took pleasure in torturing Harashyu. Little Kadai, who failed to rescue Harashu, often secretly fed Harashu while the boss of the iron factory was not paying attention.But the owner will throw it away as soon as he finds unfamiliar dog food in Harashu's bowl; and he also declares everywhere, "It's too dangerous for someone to feed my dog ​​with strange things." When I heard this rumor, I was very angry. The blood vessels in the brain are about to burst. If I want to inquire about the little rabbit's information, I can't expect Harashyu, I knew this from the beginning.I told Harashu that I would try to improve its life.I say this with all my heart, but there is only so much I can do.Even so, I promise it.Even if it's just for Harash to understand how unfair the situation it's in is.However, Harashyu, who has no experience in other lifestyles and does not know other owners, said: "Really? But I don't think it's bad now? Uncle don't worry!" Seeing that Harashyu was missing one tooth in the east and another in the west, I said goodbye to it with the gloomy mood of falling into the abyss. Afterwards, centering on Hasumi Office, I continued to expand the scope of my investigation around concentric circles.On the outermost side of the concentric circle, the west corner of the fifth circle, I finally found the clue. Although the witness did not directly witness the real face of Die Xiaotuan's footsteps, he also provided valuable information. "My lady heard that the little rabbits in the school's breeding hut have disappeared. It is now on summer vacation, but this has caused a commotion among the parents. Could the little rabbits you found be those rabbits?" It is said that the school where the rabbit disappeared is Chengdong No. 3 Primary School.The owner of the black cat who told me this was a first grader at Joto Elementary School. It was a slender black cat that looked like a cat squeezed from a black solution. "I have Siamese blood. You seem to be a purebred wolfhound?" "Yes, although she's getting old. Has your lady been hit hard by the disappearance of the rabbit?" The black cat narrowed its golden eyes. "Yeah... She was very worried. She said that because the rabbits raised by the second elementary school next door gave birth to too many rabbits at once, and they didn't know how to deal with them, the third elementary school only adopted five rabbits. I heard that the rabbits were only a week old. .” "So, the third elementary school didn't raise Rabbit Luo before?" "It seems so. Why? Aren't there always some quails and chickens or rabbits in the school?" That's right.Did you build a breeding hut specially to adopt five little rabbits this time? "I don't know, I don't know. My young lady probably doesn't know either, after all, she is only in the first grade." After I sent the black cat back to the emergency exit of her apartment, I followed the route she told me to the third elementary school.As the distance approached, I smelled the dusty smell of the campus and the children's rubber slippers. I immediately found my way to the school, and within five minutes, I was at the back door of the No. 3 Primary School. The iron gate was about two meters high. If it was shorter, I could jump through it.No way, I shook my head and looked for another entrance.The school is an incredible place, and the walls around the campus are bound to have broken places where the local cats use them as secret entrances and exits.But even if the secret entrance is found, it is still a question of whether I can get through. The school building of the No. 3 Primary School in the east of the city seems to have been rebuilt not long ago. The white school building and the light green fence have no signs of peeling paint, and the trees are neatly trimmed.In the L-shaped school building next to the playground, only the corners of the first floor are still lit, and everything else is pitch black; if you look closely, you can see a vague silhouette that looks like a breeding hut on the north side of the lit windows of the school building.因为是晚上,距离又远,我不是很确定,但是粗略看去,那小屋不像是刚盖好的。 我找不到入口,绕了校园半圈,来到相反方向的正门。我看到了希望。正门高度还不到一公尺。我往后退,助跑,猛力向前冲,就在用力蹬地跃起时—— 一个刺耳的声音从天而降。 “Hey,You, What's up呀?” 我吓了一跳,错过了跳跃时机,一头撞上正门,鼻头狠狠撞上铁栅栏,差点陷进眼睛里,痛得眼前直冒金星。 “Hey,big dangerous!You,在做什么?” 轻佻的声音从头上传来,我泪眼汪汪地仰头望去,眼睛眨了好几下,视野总算恢复清晰。这才看见正门铁栅栏角落,停着一只几乎和门一样黑的乌鸦。 “Hey,What's your name?Are you crazy?” 从刚才起,就是这只乌鸦在说话。 “说我听得懂的话好吗?” 我舔着鼻子安抚自己,勉强低吼出声。 “听不懂?You,笨蛋吗?” Fool?是你才对吧。 “乌鸦在这种地方做什么?” 漆黑的鸟儿装摸作样地张开翅膀,指了四周一圈。 “这里,是me的地盘。Me,住在这里。这个学校,这个公园。” 这么说来,第三小学正门对面,有一座虽小却绿意盎然的公园。 “少骗人了。乌鸦到了夜晚应该会回到郊外,才不会住在城里。” “Me就住在这里!” 乌鸦一副“愤慨”的模样,用力拍打着翅膀。换作人类,应该是耸起肩膀的动作吧?“你是只离群索居的乌鸦吗?” 乌鸦猛地别过脸去。鸟类在黑暗中应该无法视物,它可能是凭借声音或气息察觉我所在的方位。即使如此,它掌握到的位置相当正确。 “唔,那种事不重要。” 鼻头的痛楚总算缓和了点,我重整态势。 “你说这个学校是你的地盘。那正好,我有件事想请教。你知道兔子吗?本来养在这所学校的饲育小屋里,但是今天早上不见了。” 乌鸦收拢翅膀紧贴在身上,俯视着我。它不悦地说:“Me,眼睛看得见。” “鸟类不是夜盲吗?” “城镇的夜晚,不会完全变暗,所以看得见。不是很清楚,还是看得见。You是狗吧?” “我的确不是蛇或鬣蜥。” 乌鸦颤动般转着头部,扫视周围。我想起这是鸟类特有的动作。 “You,在找兔子?” “我不是在找兔子。我是想知道是谁拿走——不,带走兔子的。” 乌鸦歪了歪脖子,“Why?” "What?" “问你为什么。你干苏找藏兔子的人?” 这只乌鸦说“藏”兔子,还说藏兔子的“人”。 “你这家伙,知道些什么吧?” “Me不叫家伙,Me有名字的。”乌鸦装模作样地举起鸟嘴。“Me,叫爱因斯坦。” 我又觉得眼前发昏。 "What's that?" “Me的名字。” “这么说,你被人类饲养过罗?” 动物若非曾被人类豢养过,是不会有“名字”这种概念的,因为根本没有必要。会自报姓名的动物,无一例外,可以断定它们会是人类的宠物,即使对方是只乌鸦也一样。 “那么,爱因斯坦,告诉我你知道的事吧。” "No!" 爱因斯坦尖锐地撇下这句话,飞了起来。它在我的头上盘回一圈,用羽翼卷起的风吓阻我,丢下一句: “Me才不会让You碍事,滚回去!” 真是窝囊,我只能愣在原地,睁大眼睛目送转眼飞得不见踪影的黑色乌鸦。
