Start at the pet store

Fortunately, the current riverside is not like spring, there is no grass, and everywhere is bare. If it were spring and summer, the two of them would not really dare to go down directly, not afraid of the trap or snakes.

With the general leading the way, Lu Jingxing followed closely, with Ji Ling walking at the back.

Lu Jingxing came down first and then went back to pick her up.

Originally, he wanted Ji Ling to wait for him in the car, so that if there was any danger, she would not be trapped.

But he seemed even more worried about leaving her alone on the roadside next to a deep mountain, so he might as well take her with her.

Ji Ling thought the same way. If she was left to wait alone in the car, she would be even more flustered, but being with him would make her feel more at ease. Even if she didn't know what dangers lay ahead, she would feel at ease as long as she was with him.

The two of them followed the general, one foot high and one foot low, to the river stall under the bridge.

This river comes from the village in front. The river is about ten meters wide. If it is the high water season, the area they are standing on will be flooded.

When illuminated by the searchlight above his head, he could see far away on the river embankment.

Except for some dead grass not far away, which was slightly shaken by the wind, there were no people or animals in sight.

In addition to the small sound of water flowing in the center of the river, there are only one or two occasional dog barks in the distant villages.

When the general saw the two of them stop, it also stopped, and then let out a soft "woof".

Indicates this way.

Lu Jingxing pulled Ji Ling tightly and followed the general.

The general took the two men directly to the river embankment under the bridge.

He stood next to a pit made of bricks and gravel and stopped: "Woof woof..."

Lu Jingxing glanced at Ji Ling: "We're here..."

He took two quick steps over and saw fishing lines and iron wires tied to several bamboo poles. There was a pit underneath, and he could see something similar to bait placed inside by shining a probe light on it.

There were many footprints on the edge of the pit, as well as some hair and blood stains.

Ji Ling saw this and understood that it was not a scary scene.

"Is this a trap for catching cats?" She looked at Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing frowned: "It's not necessarily for catching cats, it might be for catching dogs..." Looking at the fur on the side, he was sure that it was a trap.

"Damn it, there were people like this in the village when we were kids. They would catch and beat dogs especially at the end of the year. I still remember when I was a kid, a farm dog named Happy was captured by those people. Damn it, after all these years, there are still people. Doing such a thing..." Ji Ling was furious, for these innocent dogs who lost their lives, and for the little friend of her childhood.

Lu Jingxing took out the bamboo pole, removed the hooks and wires on it, and broke the bamboo pole as much as possible: "Throw this thing far away. If you throw it too close, they will pick it back up..." He also felt angry. This was already suspected. It's illegal, these law-illiterates.

But his ability alone is really limited, and he can't guard these places every day. He can only watch and tear them down one by one.

Ji Ling also joined in and kicked Brick hard several times.

"Be careful, lest there are other sharp weapons..." Lu Jingxing looked at her angrily and said.

The two of them didn't stop until they had smoothed the area.

Seeing that the two of them had finished, the general shouted anxiously: "Woof woof...cat...cat..."

Only then did Lu Jingxing remember that the general had said that a cat was coming.

I just looked around hastily and didn't see any kittens.

He quickly followed the general to the corner ahead.

I saw a big orange curled up in a culvert.

"Ji Ling, Ji Ling, come on..." Lu Jingxing used a stick to pull at the little guy a few times, but the little guy didn't move.

Ji Ling heard him shouting and ran over immediately: "Dead?"

"Probably not, the feet are still moving..." Lu Jingxing saw the little guy's feet moving a little, but the culvert was too small for people to enter.

He stood up: "I'm going to get the net bag to see if I can take it out..."

"I'll go..." Now that Ji Ling knew the whole story, she was no longer afraid. Before Lu Jingxing could say anything, she quickly ran out of the bridge.

"General, follow quickly..." Lu Jingxing immediately called to the general.

The general immediately ran out and quickly ran in front of Ji Ling.

It was wagging its tail and leading the way, and Ji Ling quickly climbed up the roadbed and walked towards her car.

Lu Jingxing continued to stay and clean up the scene.

When Ji Ling was lowering her head to get the net bag from the back of the car, a car came from behind and stopped next to Ji Ling.

There were a few young people in the car. They were a little surprised to see a car parked in this place. They also saw someone bulging something behind the car. The young man in the passenger seat wore a hat and opened the window and asked: "Hi, what's going on? Do you need help?"

They thought Ji Ling's car broke down.

Ji Ling didn't plan to answer a few people, but others were asking. It would be bad if you just ignored them, so she stood up straight, looked at the people, and said with some vigilance: "Thank you, no need..."

When they saw that she was a little girl, they stopped leaving: "It's already this time, little girl, what are you doing here..."

Ji Ling didn't want to say anything more to them, but it seemed that if they didn't say anything, they wouldn't let it go. She didn't know whether these people were good or evil.

When the general saw a few people staring at Ji Lingwen, he immediately jumped up and shouted at them: "Woof woof..." loudly.

Several people were startled by the general who suddenly rushed up. A man who was about to get off the car immediately retracted his legs and closed the car door.

"Girl, we are from the village in front. Is your car broken?" The man wearing a hat on the co-pilot asked kindly.

Ji Ling was about to speak. Seeing that Ji Ling had not come down for so long, and hearing the general's call, Lu Jingxing dropped his things and ran up immediately.

Seeing the headlight shining from the front, several people looked at Lu Jingxing at the same time.

Lu Jingxing walked in front of Ji Ling and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Ling shook his head: "Nothing, they passed by and asked me what happened. I don't know whether I should tell you..."

In this place where you can't see your hand in front of you, the village in front is still a little far away. No one dares to be sure whether the baits are placed by them. It is indeed entangled whether to tell or not.

Lu Jingxing took a pack of cigarettes from the car and got off: "Hello, we are from the pet store, passing by..."

It's best not to offend people in unfamiliar places.

"Pet shop? Hey, it looks familiar. Are you... Are you Dr. Lu from Pet Love?" A girl sitting in the back seat heard Lu Jingxing talking about the pet shop, stuck her head out and asked hesitantly.

When Lu Jingxing saw a girl, he immediately lost his initial vigilance. He smiled and nodded: "Yes, I am Lu Jingxing..."

"Ah, it's Dr. Lu. He cured our Guan Guan last time..." The girl immediately smiled and said to the people in the car.

Then she opened the door and got out first.

The general stood quietly beside him without Lu Jingxing's instructions, and did not call him again.

When the people saw her coming down, they all got out of the car one after another. The man in the driver's seat took out a cigarette from his body first, and blocked the cigarette that Lu Jingxing took out: "Come on, smoke mine, smoke mine, since we are all acquaintances, it's better. What's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties? We are from the village in front. Is there anything we can help you with?"

He looked up and down at the two people and asked in confusion.

Lu Jingxing took the cigarette from him with a smile. He knew that the girl had a dog, and dog owners would definitely not do things like trapping. He had a rough idea in his mind, so he told the general story.

Several people were a little shocked and looked at each other.

"Is there such a thing?" The man in the hat asked in disbelief.

"I heard my aunt say this morning that her dog has been missing for a few days. Does that mean it's also like this?" The girl made a "ka" gesture and looked at everyone with wide eyes.

Seeing that they had no ill intentions, Lu Jingxing took the net bag from Ji Ling: "I won't accompany you. There is a cat that is seriously injured down there. I'm going to rescue it and take it back to see if it can be saved."

"Then, hurry up, let's go down with you..." Several people said and wanted to follow Lu Jingxing to go under the bridge.

The driver immediately returned to the car and parked his car on the side of the road, and then followed everyone down the river bank.

With the net bag and Lu Jingxing's probe light, the big orange cat was easily covered, but it still did not move.

Lu Jingxing pulled the net bag up and easily pulled the orange cat out.

After pulling it out, everyone was silent when they saw the appearance of the little guy.

The little guy's two eyeballs had all fallen out, like two blood balls hanging on his face, and his condition could be described as horrible.

One leg was also drooping, probably cut off by the iron wire and fishing line hanging for a long time.

"It must have been beaten by the person who put the bait. He might want to catch the dog, and then saw that it was a cat and killed it directly, and then put the bait again..." Lu Jingxing was also very depressed.

This little guy was seriously injured, and I don't know if he can be saved.

Seeing this, the girl shrank behind the man in the hat: "Is it dead?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "No, it still has some breath, and it is still breathing..." As he said, he took the little guy out of the net bag and put it in the cage that had just been taken down.

"No, did he set the trap to torture the cat?" Seeing the little guy was so badly injured, Ji Ling said angrily.

"I don't think so. He should have been trying to catch the dog, but the cat couldn't resist the temptation to eat, so it was caught, and then it was beaten like this..." Lu Jingxing analyzed.

"That's even more hateful. Why can't he let it go? Why beat it like this..." Ji Ling was heartbroken.

"Shanshan, look, does it look like the cat at Uncle Wu's house..." The man in the hat pulled the girl who was leaning behind him.

Hearing him say this, the girl immediately stuck her head out: "Ah? Orange?"

"Take a look..." The man in the hat pulled the girl forward two steps.
