Chapter 959 Entrapment
The two of them ran over quickly with the bags in their hands, and Jian repeated the action just now: "But you can't see inside this?"

"Although your eyesight is not good, you can still see a little and hear the sound..." Lu Jingxing said as he squatted beside him.

"Is there?" Jian looked inside and said, "Why can't I see any shadow at all?"

"Or maybe you say your eyesight is not good? What's the matter? The problem is that no one can get in here, how do we get them out?" Yang Pei said with a frown.

"Put the cage and bait in there. It seems there is no other way..." Lu Jingxing opened the cage and put a can of food in it. "But, after what the two wild dogs just did, I don't know if the mother cat dares to come out."

"Let's try it first. If they are really hungry, they will definitely come out." Yang Pei took the long net bag in her hand and took off the bag: "I will hit the pole from that end to see if I can drive them over here."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay."

He took out a professional detection tool and probed into the pipe.

Because this pipe is at least 20 to 30 meters long, but their pole can only extend to about 5 meters at most, so they can't see the whole picture inside.

But the good thing is that with the help of cameras and lights, they were able to get a general understanding of the situation inside.

This is an abandoned river water pipe. Fortunately, it is not the rainy season now, and it has been abandoned. There is a newer and wider river channel next to it, so there are only a lot of dead leaves in it. Some places are even blocked. There is only less than one-third of the space, and there is no water.

When Lu Jingxing looked inside from the back section, he didn't see any trace of the cats at all.

"This side is about ten meters away, and our pole is five meters long. So let's try it from that side. If it's not here, then it's over there." Ji An's brain was working quickly at this moment.

Lu Jingxing took back the pole: "I'm afraid it's not all as straight as this end. It would be difficult if there were turns. And it's not just the front and back, isn't there also the middle? This is at least 20 to 30 meters, right?"

Because the concrete piers on the road surface can be seen clearly, and they have curves on them.

"This is difficult. What if they don't cooperate and come out?" Jian looked troubled.

"Then it depends on us..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"You don't look pessimistic at all..." Jian said, looking at Lu Jingxing.

"Why should we be pessimistic? Alas, what makes me sad is that we didn't save a kitten. That is indeed a pity." Lu Jingxing said as he looked at the faintly visible bloodstains on the concrete pier.

"Brother Lu, come here quickly, I think I see the mother cat coming this way." As the two were talking, Yang Pei shouted loudly from the other end.

"Okay..." Lu Jingxing responded, and then said to Ji An: "You just stay here, I'll go over there..."

Before Ji An could reply, Lu Jingxing trotted towards Yang Pei.

Ji Ling, who was sitting on the mat with Xiaobao and the others, just saw the three of them running back and forth, but didn't think they gained anything.

"Is it coming out?" Lu Jingxing ran to Yang Pei, who was now lying flat on the ground with his head halfway into the hole. "It came out to the opening and then went back. Now it won't come out no matter how hard you try."

Yang Pei crawled back a few times and retreated.

"Throw some cat food in from a distance and see if you can attract them over with the cat food?" Lu Jingxing also leaned sideways.

"I just threw some out. I guess it was lured out by the cat food. You can see that it was quite hungry. But when it heard our noise, it immediately shrank back." Yang Pei looked inside with some hopelessness.

"Use this to see if you can detect it." Lu Jingxing handed the telescopic pole in his hand to Yang Pei. Although the pole was only about five meters long at most, what if the little ones happened to be within five meters.

Yang Pei changed her position and slowly extended the pole forward.

Lu Jingxing also opened his mobile phone to look at the images captured by the camera.

"Why can't I push it..." Yang Pei put his head in again. Fortunately, it was relatively dry inside and there were no flying insects or anything like that. Otherwise, Yang Pei would not dare to put his head in without a gas mask.

"Take it easy, don't get bitten by anything..." Lu Jingxing couldn't help but remind him when he saw that half of his body had gone inside.

"With a cat here, there are definitely no mice. I'm just afraid that the mother cat will suddenly rush out and bite me..." Yang Pei's voice buzzed out from inside.

"There is a turn ahead, and our camera can't pass through, so we still can't see the cats..." The pole is now two-thirds in, but as Yang Pei said just now, it can't be extended any further.

Yang Pei stepped back with both legs, and finally pulled out of the way: "No, I can't get through. The bend is quite sharp. It's obviously a straight road, how come it turns? How was this road built?"

"This is not needed now. We thought it was straight, but it must not have been like this before..." Lu Jingxing was also puzzled when he looked at the scene captured by the camera.

"What should we do? These people definitely can't get in. We have no other options unless they come out?" After lying there for a while, Yang Pei was slightly out of breath.

"There is a way, but I don't want to make it too troublesome. It would be best if I could find a way to make them come out by themselves..." Lu Jingxing frowned slightly.

"Oh, okay, I'll try it again..." Yang Pei lay down again, took down the camera, and added cat strips to the pole.

"Use this, the smell can spread further." Lu Jingxing found a new kind of cat food strips from the cat food bag: "This was newly purchased a few days ago, and it is very user-friendly for us to use when rescuing cats."

As he said this, he took apart the cat strips and clamped them on the pole.

"It seems to have a stronger fragrance." Yang Pei said with a smile.

"I have confirmed this. Although it is a new product, the quality is guaranteed. I will sell it in both stores later. However, I think this is more convenient for us to use in rescue situations." Lu Jingxing said with a smile: "Come on, let's talk about it. Let's see how it works."

After listening to what he said, Yang Pei leaned in again.

After a while, "Hey, hey, hey, Brother Lu, the little guy seems to have come out again. I saw its head. It's a mother cow..." Yang Pei's somewhat excited voice came from inside.

"Keep your voice down, don't scare it away again. See if you can slowly lure it out..." Lu Jingxing patted him lightly.

"Then I should collect it slowly?" Yang Pei asked.

"Yes, watch it move out, then you slowly retract it and lead it out..." Lu Jingxing also set up the camera again, and held another slightly shorter pole from the front and reached it inside.

"What if it comes out and the kitten doesn't come out?" Yang Pei asked in a low voice, carefully retracting the pole slowly.

"As long as it comes out, we can find a way." Lu Jingxing said confidently. He can use the heart language. As long as the mother cat comes out, won't things be easy?
"I saw it too. It's walking out. Go slower so that it can eat a little, and then slowly take it all out." Lu Jingxing saw the somewhat skinny cow cat mother from the camera.

I can't see it clearly, so I don't know if it is injured.

It was still very alert, stopping almost every two steps, but in the end it couldn't resist the temptation of the cat strips and moved closer and closer to the exit.

But its occasional calls attracted its children to follow out slowly.

The first little guy slowly poked his head out from the corner and meowed sharply.

Its cry woke up the mother cat who was almost reaching the cat strip. She seemed to suddenly react and immediately turned around and ran quickly back to the children behind her.

Yang Pei, who had been holding his breath, suddenly became like a deflated ball: "Oh, it was just a little bit short, but it was ruined by that little guy..." He was very upset.

"It's okay, let's do it again. Or you come out and let me do it. You must be tired after lying on the ground for so long..." Lu Jingxing didn't care about his clothes and was ready to lie on the ground like Yang Pei.

"No, no, it's okay. I'll put the rod in again. I don't believe that the little guy can withstand this temptation." Yang Pei waved at Lu Jingxing and reached in again.

Ji Ling couldn't help but ran over and asked, "How is it? Why is it that there seems to be some movement on your side, but there seems to be no progress?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "There's no other way. This cement pier is too long and difficult to operate. If the little guys don't cooperate, there's no way to get it out."

"Then what should we do? What if they don't come out? We just have to keep waiting like this?" Ji Ling looked at the three siblings in the distance and said worriedly.

"Try again, it should be able to come out..." Lu Jingxing lowered his voice, because the mother cow in the video was coming towards the cat pole again.

The screaming kitten was still behind him.

The cat that came out was similar in color to the mother cat, also a cow, but looked about the same size as the one they had already adopted. It limped when it ran, and it was not known whether it was injured or because the road was too uneven and it could not walk steadily.

Ji Ling was also attracted by the video. She held her breath and watched it without blinking, her heart in her throat.

The mother cat was still vigilantly thinking whether to follow the food outside, while the little cow that followed her was already stumbling and rushing outside after the food.

The mother cat called a few times, but the little guy turned a deaf ear. Yang Pei let it eat a little and immediately moved back a little.

In this way, the little guy was slowly led to within two meters of the cave entrance.

Yang Pei had already stepped back and was controlling the pole with only her hands.

All three of them dared not breathe a word.

When Yang Pei retreated, Lu Jingxing immediately put the trapping cage that had been prepared long ago into the cave.

There was a can of food inside.

The pole slowly moved back into the cage. Although the kitten wanted to eat, it hesitated when it reached the entrance of the cage. It turned around and called to its mother twice.

"Meow meow, mommy, there is food in there, give it to you..." The little guy sat down in front of the cat cage, looking eagerly at his mother who was following behind him.

Only Lu Jingxing could understand what it said. His eyes softened involuntarily. He didn't expect that under such difficult conditions, this little guy still knew how to take care of his mother. He was really a filial cat baby.

But Yang Pei and the others understood it in the opposite way: "Look, the kitten is quite naughty. It doesn't even want to go in by itself, but wants its mother cat to go explore."

Lu Jingxing smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you think that it wants to give the delicious food to its mother?"

Yang Pei looked at Lu Jingxing in disbelief: "Is it like this?"

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "Who said it wasn't?"

Although the mother cat was still very alert, she didn't feel uncomfortable after having eaten half a cat strip. Moreover, she hadn't eaten anything for two days and was frightened by the wild dogs today. She felt a little weak. The delicious food was right in front of her, so she was reluctant to give it up.

It pushed its child back and then prepared to carefully circle the cage.

While it was spinning, the kitten finally couldn't resist the temptation and got into the cage.

After it went in, the mother cat seemed unable to think too much. She was afraid that her children would be in danger, so she rushed in without hesitation.

"Collect..." Yang Pei shouted nervously, but before he shouted, Lu Jingxing had already quickly pressed the remote control.

"If you had shouted, it would have run out long ago..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"I'm really nervous. They finally got into the cage after so much effort." Yang Pei's heart was still beating fast.

This is a cage that they have improved themselves. Unlike the previous ones, which require the little ones to step on the switch themselves, this one can be remotely controlled from a distance after they get in.

This way you won't encounter situations where particularly smart cats just eat without pressing the switch, and then run away after eating.

This is also the result of them learning from experience and making improvements after repeated failures.

"Wow, it worked, it worked, this remote control is great, when did you buy it?" It was the first time that Ji Ling saw such an advanced trapping cage. When he saw the two kittens being caught, he jumped up excitedly.

Then he shouted to Lu Chen and Lu Xi in the distance: "I caught it, I caught the mother cat."

After hearing this, Lu Chen and Lu Xi pulled Xiao Bao and jumped happily on the mat.

"This is not bought. Our brother Lu improved it himself by sacrificing his rest time..." Yang Pei took the traction rope and slowly dragged the cage out, saying with some pride.

"Wow, Brother Lu, you are so awesome! We can apply for a patent for this. With this method, the success rate of trapping will be much higher." Ji Ling said as she squatted down and helped drag the cage. She wanted to take a good look at the kittens, and she wanted to take a good look at this special cage even more.

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly: "This is not perfect yet, and sometimes it doesn't work, but it is indeed much more convenient."

The mother cow in the cat cage looked at the few people with a look of panic on her face. She held her child tightly behind her, arched her body, with her ears standing straight up and her fur standing on end. She growled at the few people: "Meow... What are you doing? Let us out..."
