Chapter 30 Chapter 30

It was already noon when Quan didn't know that he and his friends came to the zoo.They spent the morning talking and riding in the car with Rivet.They were so hungry that they went to the cafeteria to have lunch.They decided to start their search at the zoo where they first found the three donkeys.But this time they saw nothing inside the fence.The door of the canteen was wide open.For the sake of reliability, Quan Zhi climbed over the fence, sneaked into the shed, and took a look inside; there was nothing in the shed.Enduring as much as they could, they wandered around the zoo, looking around.They saw all kinds of animals, but they didn't meet a donkey.After walking around every corner, they returned to the place where they started looking, and saw a little girl in a white apron behind the fence, sweeping garbage from the shed with a small broom.

"Please tell us, do you know where there are donkeys?" Don't Know asked the cleaning lady. The little girl stopped cleaning, leaned on the broom, and asked, "What kind of donkey?" "Well, that's it, the normal ones with hooves..." "Aha! That's right! Then what do you want it for? A donkey is just a donkey. What's the fun?" "Well, we'd love to see him. We've been all over the zoo, but we haven't seen a donkey." "Yeah!" said the cleaner. "We did have three donkeys here, but none of them went anywhere. Some people take this opportunity to talk nonsense, don't believe it! It seems like there is some kind of magic. Huh... this is all nonsense No magic at all! They're just stolen by those little...folks..., that's...hell...; it's the puppies, not the puppies. There's nothing they can do with them! There's mischief all over town now! Even stealing elephants out of cages—without anyone noticing!"

"Well, elephants probably won't steal them." Quan Mo said. "Why don't you steal it? You will." The cleaner said, waving his hand. "The higher-ups ordered us to be stricter. There are many things... There are poisonous snakes and beasts here. They will tear you apart. If the little hooligan lets the snake out, it will be fine! This is It's in the city! It's not a joke!" "Where's the donkey you found on the street?" asked Quan Mo. "It was reported in the newspaper that an unattended donkey was found on the street and sent to the zoo."

"Aha, it turned out to be this!" The cleaner laughed. "That donkey never came here at all, you made a mistake. It didn't go to the zoo, it went to the circus. It was wrong in the paper, it said it was sent to the zoo, but we never saw him One glance." "That is, the donkey is in the circus?" asked Little Thumbtack, hopeful in his voice. "Yes! Yes! Why isn't it here? I saw him at the circus three days ago. The little donkey is very smart, and indeed, it's a pity he hasn't learned the trick! He pulls there The little car, and some clowns riding on it. Well, it's all right, it won't be long before it learns its tricks!"

After saying goodbye to the cleaners, the travelers hurried out. "What luck!" Quan Zhi was very happy and said in a low voice. "So, Little Page is at the circus, so let's go find him right away. Tomorrow we'll look for those three donkey-turned-little hooligans. I'll recognize them as soon as I see them. They all have a full It's a freckled little nose." Quan Shi and his companions walked towards the exit.As they passed the monkey cage, they stopped to look at the monkeys.There was a monkey who was very naughty, and he didn't know that he wanted to tease it. He took a magic stick and stuck it into the iron bar, trying to poke the monkey's face.The monkey frowned angrily, then grabbed the magic stick and snatched it from Quan Wu's hand in one go!Don't know what to worry about.

"Look, what is it doing..." he stammered weakly. "What's the matter? You gave the stick to the monkey?" cried Little Pushpin. "I didn't give it, it took it away." Quan Zhi spread his hands. "If you don't poke it in the face with a stick, it won't take it from you!" "Nothing, I'll take it back now." Quan Wuzhi put his hand into the fence, trying to get the stick back from the monkey, but the monkey was out of the iron fence, and he couldn't reach it anyway. "You, what a witch!" Quan Zhi muttered. "Tell you, bring the stick here, do you hear me?"

But it never occurred to the monkey to obey the command of the ignorant.Instead, it started hopping around in the cage.Not even for a minute let go of the stick.It jumped on the swing hanging in the middle of the cage, swung, and kept squinting at Xiaowuwu, as if laughing at him. "Sneaky beast! Bring the stick!" Quan Zhi cursed. "Well, it's nothing, he'll have enough fun anyway, and then he'll drop the stick." At the end of the day, the keeper's whistle sounded, telling visitors that the time was up and the zoo was about to close.People walked towards the exit one after another, and soon there was no one around.Only Don't Know, Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face are lingering in front of the monkey cage.

The monkey took the stick and finally got bored and dropped it.Land on the corner farthest from the fence. "I have to find a way to get into the cage." Quan Mo said. It was impossible to get through the iron fence, but after watching for a while, little Wuzhi found that there was a gate on the cage, and the gate was fastened.Quan didn't know to look around and found no one around, so he got into the railing that surrounded the cage, pulled out the iron bar on the latch, and tried to open the door.It seemed that this was more difficult than expected, because the latch was so tight that it was impossible to move it.Quan didn't know that he tightly grasped the door latch with both hands, and pulled it out desperately, shaking the entire cage.At last the latch began to move, but at this moment a caretaker appeared in the corner, holding a broom and shouting:

"What are you trying to do, you devil! Are you going to let the monkey go? Look at me!" Quan didn't know that he was in a hurry to jump out of the railing, but the administrator grabbed him by the back collar. "There's my stick!" Quan Zhi said with a sad face while struggling desperately.But the administrator held him tightly. "Look at my stick! I'll take you to the police station and show you the stick there!" He said threateningly, dragging Quan Zhi to the door. Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face ran ahead, looking back at the administrator frequently in fear.

"Honestly, there's my stick! The monkey has taken my stick!" said Quandao with certainty. "Then you probably used this stick to tease the monkey? Maybe you stabbed it in the face with the stick? Huh?" The administrator dragged Wushu to the street and looked around—probably looking for the police. "I can't do it anymore! To be honest, please believe me, I can't do it anymore!" Little Wuzhi pleaded. "Then, all right!" the administrator yelled loudly, letting go of all ignorance. "Okay, let's go, don't make trouble here again. I'm welcome next time I meet you!"

After finishing speaking, the administrator let Quan Mu know away, then locked the garden gate and left.Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face came to Quan Zhi's side. "Why don't you tell the administrator that this is not an ordinary stick, but a magic stick?" Xiao Hualian said. "Do you know what you said?" Quan Wu replied angrily. "If the caretaker finds out it's a magic wand, he'll take it. Why did he give us a magic wand? You better say, why did you both crawl out of the zoo? You gotta stay there , Find a way to get the magic wand from the cage! But now the zoo is closed...how can I climb in?" "It's unreasonable, do I have to get into the cage to get the stick?" Little Thumbtack replied angrily, puffing out his lips. "Hey, if you don't want to go, you should let Xiao Hualian get in." "No, I don't want to get into the cage either." Hualian replied. "Why do we need sticks? In Sun City, there are no magic wands. Don't you get what you want? Eat whatever you want - please! Want to see a movie or a play - please! Want to go for a drive - even if You can ride for a day, as long as you don't get dizzy. You can even jump up and fly in a car without a magic wand." "You fool!" Quan Wu replied angrily. "Don't we just want magic wands for car rides? We need to undo the misfortune of Little Pages and free the city from the little hooligans. Don't we all have to suffer from the little hooligans?" "Ah, this, well, of course!" Xiao Hualian agreed. "Now let's act like this." Quan Mo said. "Let's climb into the fence as soon as it gets dark. You can touch the cage in the dark, and no one can see it." "Oh, enough of me!" said little pushpin. "I'm going back to the hotel." "That is to say, you shrink back in the face of difficulties?" Quan Mo asked. "Yes, I flinched. I can't climb the fence." The little thumbtack replied resolutely. "So, you're saying Page has to keep being a donkey, and I shouldn't do anything?" "I think you will do some things that ask for trouble. It would be great if you didn't do anything at all." With that said, the little thumbtack turned and walked towards the bus station. "Let her go. You keep the little face." Quan Mo said. "I need your help. The wall is high here, and you'll have to push me up. Let's walk a little bit. Maybe there's an easy place to climb over." They walked along the fence, came to a corner, and turned into a small alley.The walls here are indeed lower. "Let's wait until it gets dark." Quan Mo said. They waited under the fence.The sky gradually darkened, stars gradually appeared in the sky, and an orange-yellow moon like a big orange rose above the roof. "Now is the time." Quan Zhi looked around for a while and said, "Push me up." Xiao Hualian pushed him up from below.I don't know how to climb up the wall and sit on it. "Climb up now." He whispered, stretching out a hand to Xiao Hualian. "Maybe it's better for me to stay here and wait for you?" said Xiao Hualian. "No, I need you very much there, you stand guard around the cage and don't let the administrator approach." With the help of Omniscient, Hualian climbed up the fence, and then the two of them jumped from the other side and fell directly into a dry ditch. "Listen, what kind of pit did I roll into!" Xiaohua said with a mournful face. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "Be quiet!" They held their breath for a moment, listening nervously.It was very quiet. "Nothing." Don't know. "No one seems to have heard. Let us go quietly." They crawled out of the dry ditches and burrowed forward among the flowers and grass.I don't know how to walk without making any sound, just like a cat.But there was always a crackling sound under Xiao Hualian's feet. "Take it easy!" Quan Zhi whispered. Suddenly heard a roar!Xiao Hualian stopped in her tracks, and almost fell to the ground in fright. "What is this?" He was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly. The roar became more and more intense, Xiao Hualian was trembling with fright, as if many ants were crawling on his back. This is probably a lion.I don't know what to guess. The roar was repeated again, and the frightening roar became more ferocious.Then there seemed to be a cry and a wail, and there was a long wolf howl—the piercing screech of a coyote.There was a sound of ducks quacking from nowhere, and crows cooed on it, and the whole zoo became panicked and couldn't be calm for a long time. Xiao Hualian calmed down a little. "Why is the lion called?" he asked. "I don't know, probably because I want to eat!" Quan Mo said. "Will it eat us?" "Don't be afraid, it's in the cage!" "I'm not afraid." Xiao Hualian replied.But I'm only asking you just in case. The surroundings gradually quieted down, but the moon hid in the dark clouds, and it was pitch black, only the road was white.Knowing nothing was walking along the road, Xiao Hualian followed closely, trying not to fall behind. "Where are we going?" Xiao Hualian asked worriedly. "I have to find the donkey pen, and the monkey cage is next to it." Quan Mo replied. The cage was soon visible from both sides of the road.The beast inside the railing could not be seen in the dark, but Xiao Hualian always felt that a paw would suddenly come out from behind the railing to rest on his back, so he looked around in fear, trying to stay away from the cage as much as possible.Finally, a row of iron fences appeared at the end of the road, with a pool inside. "We are not going anywhere..." Quan Mo said. From behind the iron bars came the sound of lazy breathing, humming, chewing and croaking.Maybe it was just the splashing of water, but it could also be some water animal, like a hippopotamus. The two of them took a few steps back and turned to a side road. "What is this?" Quan Zhi murmured.Looking worriedly into the darkness. "It's impossible to guess where we are. Nothing is like day at night." They lost their way in the park, and after a long time, they finally came to a small cage, which they didn't know seemed familiar. "I see, we've come to the elephant," Quan Mo said. "In other words, it's not far away now." Going further, they came to a low iron fence wall.There is a grille visible inside. "That's it, donkey pen, do you see it?" said Quan Zhi happily. "Everything is right!" Turning to one side, they approached a row of cages, along which there was a row of fences, walked up to the cage in the farthest corner, and said without knowing it: "Yes, that's it! Xiao Hualian, stand here and watch On both sides, if you see anyone, whistle." "Okay." Xiao Hualian nodded. Quan didn't know how to climb up the fence, put his face on the iron railing, looked into the cage, and listened nervously. "Hey! What did you see there?" Xiao Hualian asked. "Be quiet!" Quan Bo was angry with him. "Didn't see anything at all. . . but something was wheezing. Maybe a monkey. . . Well, all right." He felt the door in the dark, pulled out the iron pin, and opened the door.This time the latch opened easily.I didn't know when I pulled the door, it creaked open. "Ai-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat whom I didn't regret!" He threatened the door with his fist and said: "You still have to squeak!" He listened carefully for a while.Only when he was sure that the surroundings were quiet did he enter the cage very carefully.He lay on his stomach, groping around on the floor.He drilled deeper and deeper in the cage, touched the east wall and returned to the west wall.Suddenly there was a roar from the front, and Quan Zhi was so frightened that he lay on the ground motionless.He looked desperately into the darkness, only to see something big and black turning in front of him.Then the moon came out from behind the clouds, and lit up the lion lying in the middle of the cage.The lion lifted its shaggy head, blinked lazily, and stared into obscurity. Knowing that he didn't even have time to be afraid, he made a backward turn, that is to say, he quickly backed up on his hands and feet, fixed his eyes on the lion, stood up, and planned to jump out.The lion saw it, snorted, stood up and walked towards Omniscient.Quanwu ran towards the open door like lightning, and ran out of the cage like a gust of wind, and only had time to say "lion" to Xiao Hualian, and then ran away without looking back. Xiao Hualian's soul flew to the sky.He was so frightened that he ran desperately after Quan Zhi.The two of them ran like this.Until the wall appeared in front.Without knowing it, he climbed up.Xiao Hualian grabbed Quan Zhi's pants and followed him to climb up.Quan didn't know that it was a lion grabbing his leg, so he struggled desperately.Unexpectedly, the piece of wood he was holding on to broke suddenly, and he fell from the wall and fell on Xiao Hualian's body.Quan Wu threw away the plank in his hand and crawled out from the crack in the wall.Xiao Hualian immediately followed behind him, running wildly on the street together.Quanwu ran ahead, while Xiao Hualian was running behind him like a black shadow.He was so nervous that he wheezed and gasped, but little Wuzhi thought it was a lion panting behind him!
