Chapter 176 The Cat in the Basement

This basement is not theirs, but there is a small vent in the basement, just under their window sill.

I didn't notice it before, Long'an has the custom of cooking meat during Chinese New Year. Her husband is from the north, and he likes to make meat sausages.

"I also prepared some sausages and wind-blown meat, and I also prepared two fish to hang outside to dry..."

Who would have imagined that this cat is also a ghost, and it only steals from the outside side.

From the inside of their house, it looks pretty good.

As a result, she saw that it was snowing today, and she was afraid of bad things. She wanted to take a look, but she saw the problem.

But I was angry, the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I was, and I couldn't help it, so I called them: "It's almost 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 helper nodded repeatedly and took them to see: "That's right here, they got out from here, climbed onto this pipe, and then jumped onto my balcony!"

They are rat-proof and cat-proof, and they are specially laid with steel wire mesh with small meshes.

It didn't work, the cats scratched a hole in the top, they got in and out, they came and went freely.

Lu Jingxing looked in the direction she pointed, and smiled, "This grid...to cats, it's like stairs..."

That's not so easy to come and go, if it is really a steel plate, it will not be so easy.

Steel plate...

The help-seeker frowned and hesitated: "That's too stuffy..."

So there is still no way but to get the cat away.

Fortunately, probably because the meat sausage has a strong aroma, these cats only bit the meat sausage and one of the fish for the time being, and the wind-blown meat and other fish in the middle have not moved yet.

The damage wasn't too great, so they just hoped to get the cat out of the way.

Lu Jingxing nodded, and put a cage next to the vent.

The opening is directly aimed at the cage door, and if a cat jumps out from here later, it will directly bump into the cage.

But after all, only one cage can be caught, and there are many cats inside, so 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 was about to walk over.

As a result, Yang Pei stopped her and said decisively: "I'll guard here!"

If the cage doesn't work, he can still grab it directly!

After hearing this, Lu Jingxing said helplessly, "Don't grab it directly, it will easily slip away, just put it in the cage."

In order to avoid unnecessary complications.

In the end, Yang Pei was unwilling: "It's really fine! I'll stay here with a cage, 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, it was true.

It's already dark now, let Ji Ling squat in this corner, in case something happens...

Thinking of this, Lu Jingxing nodded, "Okay, then Yang Peiyi is guarding here—you must pay attention, don't catch yourself."

Whether he can be caught or not is still the same thing, the key is that he is afraid that the cat will scratch him.

This is a real wild cat. If it bleeds from scratching, it really needs to be vaccinated against rabies.

"Okay." Yang Peimei passed by happily, holding the cage, ready to sit on the sidelines.

Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling into the basement together, the lights were on or off, it was very dim.

The help-seeker followed behind them, closing the door to prevent the cat from running out, while babbling: "Because it's the basement, I didn't put anything in it, and it's quite damp here, and it's easy to get water back. Did not let go."

"That's right, Long An is not good at this point, there are too many rainy days." Lu Jingxing responded smoothly.

After a few casual words, the mood of the help-seeker was gradually calmed down.

Diverted her attention, and stopped spreading all her grievances on the cat.

Lu Jingxing checked around and found that the basement was not big, and there were no important debris on the ground, only some empty cardboard boxes and some discarded water pipes were thrown aside.

As soon as he walked a few steps, two cats suddenly jumped out.

Jumped directly from the paper shell, stepped on the wall and jumped onto the vent.

Soon!

Lu Jingxing didn't even have time to react, and Ji Ling's net bag didn't come in handy.

It feels like this cat has run out of afterimages!
"Ah, be careful!" Lu Jingxing quickly called Yang Pei, telling him to pay attention.

But there is no ventilation here and outside, and there is no sound at all.

"How many cats are there in total? Auntie." Ji Ling looked at the caller.

The movement just now surprised the help-seeker a little bit.

She came back to her senses and said ah: "Yes, it should be three or four... right? I'm not sure either."

There are three or four in total, which means there are more.

Lu Jingxing didn't go out in a hurry, but took the net bag from Ji Ling's hand and walked over carefully.

really.

Inside the pile of discarded paper shells, there were still some small movements.

He walked over, opened his hand slightly, and a cat jumped up inside, almost scratching his face with its paw.

"Meow ow ow ow!" But it was a blue and white one.

The opening of the face is not very good, it is a bit crooked, but it is quite 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 was under his body all the time.

Lu Jingxing understood, and walked over lightly, "Are you injured? Let me see."

Probably because he knew he couldn't escape, Lan Bai looked at him vigilantly, but didn't rush to attack again.

Lu Jingxing wore gloves on his hands, so he wasn't afraid.

He pinched a cat strip with his left hand and slowly approached it.

At the beginning, Lanbai was a little aggressive, trying to scare him.

Behind it, it's so fragrant, woo woo woo...

Its nose twitched a few times, but it really couldn't withstand this wave of food attacks.

In the end, he succumbed to the smell of the cat's strips and started eating while glancing at Lu Jingxing.

Just like that, he still refused to admit defeat: "Meow woo woo woo woo woo woo..." I'm not afraid of you, I'll fight again later...

Well, Lu Jingxing couldn't help laughing inwardly, and said calmly, "All right, all right, you eat first."

He didn't start until it was almost eaten.

The blue and white eyeballs almost popped out: it just wanted to turn its face and deny anyone!

Why, he moves faster than it! ?
Lu Jingxing grabbed the back of its neck and looked at its hind legs, "Hey, they're all rotten."

I don't know how it happened, no wonder it keeps covering the wound.

The meat inside was turned out, and a piece of it was already rotten.

Ji Ling came over with the flight case, and Lu Jingxing put it in carefully.

Once the wound touched the bottom, it was inevitable that there would be severe pain, and Lan Bai even screamed a few times.

"It's hurt like this, and it's quite energetic, not bad." Lu Jingxing touched its small head, and comforted him, "I'll deal with it when I get back."

The help-seeker also came over to take a look, and frowned: "Oh, what a pitiful kitten."

She really didn't know that it hurt her virtue.

"The situation should be like this..." Lu Jingxing lifted the flight case and packed the net bag: "This cat should be the mother cat. It is injured, so it can't go out."

And the two kittens before were its cubs.

Before that, it was the mother cat who went out to find food to feed the kitten, so now it is injured and cannot get out, so the kitten can only look for food.

It was freezing cold outside, and the kitten hadn't looked for food before, so it could only aim at the meat sausage and fish from the aunt's house.

Hearing that the person asking for help frowned, he was really regretful: "If I knew it earlier, I would just let them eat it."

Anyway, it has been bitten badly, hey, she really doesn't know, how could this be the case.

Lu Jingxing smiled and comforted her: "It's okay. After we bring them back, we will treat them well. We also have cat food here, so we will supplement them with nutrition."

The wind-blown meat and sausages are too salty for cats to eat.

Lu Jingxing searched the basement several times, and after confirming that there were no more cats, he led them out.

As a result, Yang Pei was not near the vent at all.

The cage was still there, but only one, and inside it was a cat jumping up and down and meowing.

Hearing the sound, mother cat Lan Bai became anxious, stood up and responded: "Meow, meow..."

When the kitten heard its mother's voice, it became even more worried and scratched the cage frantically.

Apparently, he knew the mother cat had been hurt and was terrified that she would be hurt again.

Ji Ling looked at it worriedly, and said hesitantly, "How about we put it in the flight case too?"

The flight case is padded for extra warmth.

Moreover, they can also let their mother and daughter stay together, so they won't be barking all the time.

Lu Jingxing looked at it, shook his head and refused: "The female cat's hind legs are injured, and the air box itself is not big. If this cat goes in, it will easily step on it."

If the wound is opened again, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

He brought the cage over and put it next to the flight case.

Fortunately, as soon as the two cats approached, sniffed each other next to the window, and barked for a while, they felt relieved and there was no movement.

Ji Ling also breathed a sigh of relief, only then remembered: "Huh? Where's Yang Pei?"

"I was calling him right now, I don't know what he was doing." Lu Jingxing shook the phone, but also had a headache.

At this moment, the snow has gradually grown, and the key point is that the other cat has disappeared, and the cage has also disappeared.

Fortunately, after a while, Yang Pei finally answered the phone.

He seemed to be running, panting: "Oh, Brother Lu... I, I'm at the entrance of the community... On the left, the fitness area, you, come here... this cat, this cat, it... it You run so fast, I'm so stupid..."

The ground was already slippery, and he couldn't run fast.

What's more, he was carrying a cage, which made it even more difficult.

Lu Jingxing snorted, and immediately asked Ji Ling to guard here, and he walked over with his net bag.

However, he is not too hopeful.

Once the wild cat is not restrained, it really runs like the wind.

Missing the superior location of the vent just now, it is really not easy to catch it again.
