Lu Ao and the others went home relatively early and had dinner relatively early. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening after dinner.

Normally, dinner would be finished at around nine o'clock, and Lu Ao would be playing games with Song Zhou.

Now that he has a dog at home, Lu Ao must spend some of his time playing games to walk the dog.

Dogs are creatures that need companionship. They must be accompanied when they go out for a walk and play.

Pang Dun can't walk himself with a rope yet, so they have to accompany him out.

When it comes to dog walking, it mainly means taking the dog for a walk.

In the countryside, there are fewer people and a lot of space, and there is no need to tie Fatty with a rope. If they go out at this point, they will hardly meet anyone.

Pang Dun goes out for a walk every night, mainly to play before and after, but also for the purpose of going to the toilet.

There was so much dog poop that it was difficult to shovel it away. When Songzhou got a dog, he immediately taught the dog how to use the toilet.

If he encounters Fatty outside and wants to have sex, Lu Ao will point at the deserted field by the village, and Fatty will rush over and dig a hole for himself.

It saved the two of them a lot of trouble.

It was the same tonight. Fat Dun walked outside the village and was paving the road. Suddenly he gave a "bark" to the two owners and ran into the wasteland next to him.

Under the moonlight, Lu Ao saw it running into the field, pawing with its paws, and squatting down.

Lu Ao looked at its figure and tutted, "This guy is too good."

"You are still young now, but you will be better behaved in the future."

Lu Ao was a little unimaginable. He hit Song Zhou with his elbow and joked, "What's the good idea? Are you going out to earn money to support us?"

Song Zhou's expression remained unchanged, "If we can develop its performance skills and let it perform on the street in the future, maybe it will work."

"When someone calls us to report us for abusing dogs, it will be terrible."

Pang Dun's side took a long time, and the cell phone in Lu Ao's pocket kept ringing, so he simply took out his cell phone and took a look.

He is not free during the day, and even if he sees messages, he doesn't reply much. People who are familiar with him basically come to see him at night.

Today is no exception. At the top of WeChat is the voice message sent by Xiang Xingchang.

Lu Ao plays the voice.

Xiang Xingchang's voice came out, "Lu Ao, are you and Song Zhou free these days? Our volunteer team plans to go out for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening on the 16th and have a dinner together. Can you come together?"

Today is already November 13th, and there are still three days until dinner time.

Lu Ao waved his cell phone in front of Song Zhou and asked him, "Are you going?"

Song Zhou asked back: "Do you want to go?"

"Anything is fine."

This meant that he wanted to go. Song Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go then. It just so happens that I haven't gone out to eat with them for a long time."

They can just teleport to Qianyong City. If they don't want to come back, they can rent a room there for one night.

Lu Ao recently likes to explore rooms in different hotels in other cities.

Especially when some hotels have special projects, such as private hot springs, water | beds...

Every time he stays in a hotel, he feels a sense of novelty. When he leaves the familiar environment and sees the people around him, he feels different.

Lu Ao replied to Xiang Xingchang and said he was going.

Xiang Xingchang was very happy and sent him the address and list, asking them to go there at the time.

The temperature has dropped in recent days. On the 16th, the night temperature had dropped below ten degrees Celsius.

This kind of weather is already quite cold for ordinary people, especially at night when the north wind blows hard and makes people's cheeks hurt.

If you don't take protective measures, your face will get cracked if you blow it for a while.

Lu Ao and Song Zhou were not much affected by the temperature. They were both wearing thin windbreakers. They looked like models, with outstanding looks and temperament, but they didn't look very warm.

The volunteers felt cold for them when they saw their clothes. When they saw them, they quickly said hello, "Come on, let's have a drink first. Aren't you two cold when you are dressed like this?"

"It's okay, it's not too cold." Lu Ao rubbed Song Zhou's back, pulled him to sit in the vacant seat, turned his head and looked around, "We're quite early?"

"It's early, people are already here."

The weather is cold, so the main dish at today's party is mutton hot pot.

When they arrived, the hot pot in the middle of the big round table was already boiling, steam was rising, and the aroma of mutton filled the room.

Xiang Xingchang raised his wrist to check the time and suggested: "No wait, let's eat first, and we can add more food when they arrive."

Everyone has no objections, and a bunch of rough old men don't pay much attention to these things.

The person next to me went back to the previous topic and asked Lu Ao, "What brand are the clothes you are wearing? They look pretty good."

Lu Ao didn't know what brand he was wearing. They were all clothes sent by people from Songzhou.

He touched the hem of his clothes and said, "I forgot. How about you search for the same style through pictures?"

Another person said, "I guess not. The material and style of the clothes you are wearing are very good. Even if you can search for the same style through pictures, you probably can't wear it with the same effect."

Xiang Xingchang smiled and said: "Isn't this nonsense? Do you have their legs or their faces?"

"Fuck, Brother Xiang, can't you be so precise? Leave some room for imagination for the brothers!"

The group laughed, and someone said with emotion, "Since Brother Lu joined our big family of marine protection volunteers, the quality of the entire volunteer team has improved. My cousin asked me the day before yesterday if I wanted to join our organization.

What are the conditions?"

"What conditions does our organization have? It doesn't mean that it doesn't have any conditions, just a living person."

Xiang Xingchang said: "It's not that low, right? Our organization still often receives important tasks."

The person who was talking to him shouted, "Why haven't I heard of this important task? Brother Xiang, you are out to fool people again."

Xiang Xingchang waved his hand, "It's really not the case this time. Our city is going to introduce a batch of new animals this month, right? It's even been on the city news."

"I have an impression of this. What does that have to do with the important task we received?"

Xiang Xingchang said: "The request was made by the city zoo, saying that when they introduced animals last week, a platypus accidentally escaped."

"Wait, what did you say you ran away?"

Xiang Xingchang repeated, "The platypus, the platypus with a mouth that looks like a duck's mouth."

Everyone looked at him with magical expressions.

Lu Ao calmly asked, "Can we feed platypuses here?"

"Isn't this like being sent to a zoo? It has air conditioning, a veterinarian, and exclusive food. What can't be fed?"

Lu Ao: "The question is, in this cooling weather, how can a platypus survive after running for so long?"

"I don't know about that." Xiang Xingchang spread his hands, "Anyway, the zoo asked us to check more when patrolling the river to see if we can find the missing platypus."

As Xiang Xingchang spoke, he also pulled out pictures from the photo album on his mobile phone and shared them with everyone.

"This is the platypus, just look for its big mouth."

The platypus is a unique product of country A. Everyone here has lived for so long and has never heard of any zoo having a platypus. Today, I have learned a lot.

The mobile phone was circulated once and returned to Xiang Xingchang's hand.

Lu Ao thought about it, "Is this platypus female or male?"

"Hey?" Xiang Xingchang raised his head, "What does this have to do with being male or female?"

Lu Ao said: "The heel of the male platypus has venomous spines. If it stings someone, the consequences will be similar to being bitten by a snake."

"It's so dangerous!" Xiang Xingchang was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly, "I'll ask first. I guess the people who contacted me at the zoo didn't know about this problem, so they didn't remind me specifically."

Lu Ao nodded, "You ask first. If it's a male, everyone needs to be prepared in advance when they see it."

Xiang Xingchang was very familiar with the person in charge of this matter at the zoo. He made a phone call and the other person took this issue very seriously.

However, the person in charge did not know that there are male and female platypuses, and that males are poisonous.

The person in charge went around in circles and finally asked about the result, telling Xiang Xingchang that it was a male platypus and it was an adult.

The volunteers at the table were very troubled when they heard the news.

There is such an aquatic animal wandering out in the city, and this creature has certain attack capabilities. I don't know when it will be discovered. It is really a headache.

Some people wonder, "The cage in the zoo is so tight, how could the platypus escape?"

Xiang Xingchang shook his head, "I'm not sure. I heard that he ran on the road, on the Jianbei-South Road section."

"Hey, isn't that section a moat? Did it go into the river? If it hid in the river, how would anyone find it?"

"Don't ask us to do a thorough search. Next time you come out to volunteer, just pay attention when you see it."

Lu Ao asked: "Is there any recent project to clean up the river?"

"Yes, but this work is usually done by government departments, so we will be there to assist. There are two main activities in November. One is diving to collect garbage on the sea bed on November 19; the other is November 1.

On the 27th of the month, we plan to go to Tuling Island to see the left-behind elderly and children on the island, and help with repairs and cleaning of the houses."

Xiang Xingchang remembers these projects very clearly. When Lu Ao asked, he reported them one by one, "... these are the activities at the moment. I will send the specific documents to the group after they are confirmed. You can download them by yourself."

Check it out and sign up.”

Lu Ao nodded.
Chapter completed!
