Chapter 176 Cat in the Basement
This basement does not belong to their home, but there is a small vent in the basement, just below their window sill.
I had never noticed it before, but here in Long'an there is a custom of making wind-blown meat during the Chinese New Year. Her husband is from the north and likes to make meat sausages.
"I also prepared some sausages and wind-blown pork, and also prepared two fish and hung them outside to dry..."
Who would have thought, this cat is also very clever, and only sneaks to this side outside.
From the inside of their house, it looks pretty good.
As a result, she saw that it was snowing today and was afraid of the bad weather. She thought of taking a look, but she found out that there was a problem.
But he was angry. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He couldn't help it anymore and called them: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, so I'm really embarrassed to call you..."
"It's okay, auntie." Lu Jingxing smiled reassuringly and looked carefully: "Is that the vent?"
It doesn't look too big.
"Ah, yes, yes." The person asking for help nodded repeatedly and showed them: "This is right here. They got out from here, climbed onto this pipe, and then jumped onto my balcony!"
To prevent rats and cats, they specially laid a small grid of steel mesh.
It didn't work, the cats scratched a hole in the top and crawled in and out, coming and going as they pleased.
Lu Jingxing looked in the direction she pointed and smiled: "This grid... to cats, is like stairs..."
That's not easy to come and go. If it were a steel plate, it wouldn't be that easy.
Steel plate...
The person asking for help frowned and hesitated: "That's too unventilated..."
So there was still no way but to get rid of the cat.
Fortunately, probably because the sausage had a strong aroma, these cats only bit the sausage and one of the fish for the time being, leaving the wind-blown meat and other fish in the middle untouched.
The damage wasn't too great, so they just wanted to get the cat away.
Lu Jingxing nodded and placed a cage next to the vent.
The opening is directly aimed at the cage door. If a cat jumps out from here later, it will directly hit the inside of the cage.
But after all, one cage can only catch one, and there are many cats inside. Lu Jingxing asked Ji Ling to guard here: "The cage doors are all open. If a cat enters the cage later, you should quickly change to another cage."
"
Ji Ling nodded and prepared to walk over.
In the end, Yang Pei stopped her and said decisively: "I'll guard this place!"
If the cage doesn't work, he can just grab it!
After hearing this, Lu Jingxing said helplessly: "Don't catch it directly. It can easily slip away. Just put it in the cage."
So as not to cause unnecessary problems.
As a result, Yang Pei was unwilling: "It's really okay! I'll hold the cage and guard here, okay? It's too cold outside, and it's not safe here. Let Ji Ling go in with you!?"
When Lu Jingxing thought about it, this was indeed the truth.
It's already dark now. Let Ji Ling squat under the corner, just in case something happens...
Thinking of this, Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, then Yang Peiqian will be guarding here - you must be careful and don't catch him yourself."
Whether he can be caught or not is one thing. The key is that he is afraid of being scratched by the cat.
This is a real wild cat. If it bleeds from being scratched, it really needs to be vaccinated against rabies.
"Okay." Yang Pei happily walked over, holding the cage, ready to wait and see.
Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling into the basement together. The lights were on or off, making it very dim.
The person asking for help followed them, closing the door to prevent the cat from running out, while nagging: "It's because it's a basement, and there's nothing in it. It's quite damp here, and it's easy for water to return. They're annoyed to death. Even the things are in the basement."
Didn’t let it go.”
"Yes, that's one thing that's bad about Long'an. There are too many rainy days." Lu Jingxing responded smoothly.
After a few casual words, the person asking for help gradually calmed down.
It diverted her attention so that she no longer directed all her grievances on the cat.
Lu Jingxing checked around and found that the basement was not big and there was no important debris on the ground. There were only some empty paper boxes and some discarded water pipes thrown aside.
As soon as he walked a few steps, two cats suddenly jumped out.
Jump directly from the paper shell, step on the wall and then jump onto the vent.
It's very fast!
Lu Jingxing didn't even have time to react, and Ji Ling's net bag was not used.
It feels like this cat has escaped from the afterimage!
"Ah, be careful!" Lu Jingxing quickly called Yang Pei, asking him to pay attention quickly.
But there is no ventilation here or outside, so there is no sound at all.
"How many cats are there in total? Auntie." Ji Ling looked at the person asking for help.
The movement just now somewhat surprised the person asking for help.
She came back to her senses and said, "Yeah, it should be three or four... right? I'm not sure."
There are three or four in total, which means there are still more.
Lu Jingxing did not rush out, but took the net bag from Ji Ling's hand and walked over carefully.
really.
There were still some small movements inside the pile of discarded cardboard boxes.
He walked over and opened it gently with his hand, and a cat jumped up inside and almost scratched his face with its paw.
"Meow, ow, ow, ow!" It was a blue and white one.
The face opening is not very good, it's a bit crooked, but it's pretty good-looking.
"Huh? What's going on? Why don't you run away?" Lu Jingxing looked at it and found that its left hind leg had been pinned underneath him.
Lu Jingxing understood and walked over gently: "Are you injured? Let me take a look."
Probably knowing that he couldn't escape, Lan Bai looked at him warily, but didn't rush to attack again.
Lu Jingxing wore gloves on his hands, so he wasn't afraid.
He held a cat strip in his left hand and slowly approached it.
At the beginning, Lan Bai was a little fierce and wanted to scare him.
The back part is so fragrant. Woohoo...
Its nose twitched a few times, but it really couldn't withstand this wave of delicious food.
Finally, I succumbed to the aroma of the cat strips and started eating while glancing at Lu Jingxing.
Just like that, he still refused to admit defeat: "Meow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..." I'm not afraid of you, I'll fight again later...
Well, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and said calmly: "Okay, okay, you eat first."
He waited until it was almost done eating before he started eating.
The blue and white eyes almost popped out: it just wanted to turn its back and deny anyone!
Why, he moves faster than it!?
Lu Jingxing grabbed the back of its neck and looked at its hind legs: "Oh, they're all rotten."
I don’t know what happened, no wonder it kept covering the wound.
The meat inside was turned outward and a piece of it was already rotten.
Ji Ling came over with the flight case, and Lu Jingxing carefully put it in.
Once the wound touched the bottom, it was inevitable that there would be severe pain, and Lan Bai even cried out a few times.
"It's injured like this, but it's still quite energetic, which is good." Lu Jingxing touched its little head and comforted him, "I'll take care of it when I get back later."
The person asking for help also came over to take a look, and frowned: "Oh, what a pitiful little kitten."
She really didn't know that it had damaged her character.
"This is what the situation should be like..." Lu Jingxing lifted up the flight box and packed the net bag: "This cat is probably the mother cat. It is injured, so it can't go out."
The two kittens before were its cubs.
Before this, the mother cat went out to find food to feed the kitten, so now that it is injured and unable to get out, the kitten has to look for food.
It was freezing outside, and the kitten had never looked for food before, so it could only set its sights on the sausages and fish from Auntie's house.
