Start at the pet store

After arranging the two siblings, Lu Jingxing could work more at ease.

The next day, he received a call just after finishing his inspection in the store.

It was Sun Chongwu's cousin who hadn't contacted for a long time: "Brother Lu, do you still remember me?"

Lu Jingxing, who had just received the call, was indeed a little unresponsive. He took the phone and looked at the number. He didn't save it and had no impression: "Sorry, I didn't hear the voice..." He coughed lightly.

"I changed my phone number. It's normal that I didn't save it. I am Brother Chongwu's cousin. You helped my friend last year. Her cat liked to bite her at night. Later, she found you and you helped solve it. I wonder if you still remember it?" The girl chattered.

"Oh oh..." Lu Jingxing listened and thought. He didn't remember what she said, but she said she was Sun Chongwu's cousin, and he remembered: "What's wrong? Her cat is sick again?"

"Haha, no, no, you have an occupational disease..." The girl laughed over there.

Lu Jingxing also laughed. It was indeed an occupational disease, but he did not take the initiative to ask the girl what she wanted to see him about.

The girl continued after laughing: "Brother Lu, this is what happened. I have moved to Hexi now. Our community is relatively old, and there are many stray cats. A few days ago, a big orange cat gave birth to a litter of kittens. They had been living in the security room at the door. Today, when I passed by, I saw the security guards knocking. They said that a kitten fell into the crack in the wall. Everyone tried to get it out yesterday afternoon but couldn't get it out. The little guy kept crying and didn't eat. I guess if we can't get it out, it will be hopeless. I want to ask you, can you come and see it?"

Without waiting for Lu Jingxing to speak, she said: "I just called my brother, and he said he was not in Longan these days, so I took the initiative to contact you..."

"Okay, I'll come and see it. Send me the location..." Lu Jingxing looked at the time and knew that there was no surgery scheduled today, and he hadn't gone out for rescue for a long time. Sometimes he stayed in the store for a long time, and he also wanted to go out for a walk.

"Okay, thank you, I'll send you a WeChat message right away..." The girl was so happy that she hung up the phone contentedly and quickly sent the address.

She also sent a picture of the scene.

Lu Jingxing took a look and found that the photo seemed to be taken from above. The little guy could be vaguely seen in the photo, but it was also clear that it was not easy to rescue the little guy.

Xiao Liu happened to pass by the office, and he immediately called him: "Xiao Liu..."

Xiao Liu immediately stopped and walked in: "Master..."

"I'm going out for a while, call me if you have anything..." Now that Xiao Liu and Xiao Jiu are in the store, he doesn't have to perform every operation, which is relatively easy.

"No problem... You go..." Xiao Liu made an OK gesture and said with a smile.

There are not many sterilization operations these days. It's just the beginning of the year, and the rescue team hasn't sent stray cats here. The store only has customers who come on weekdays, so it's still busy.

Lu Jingxing nodded and went to the backyard to take a look. Last time, he promised Ba Mao that he would take it with him on the mission to go out, so he wanted to take it with him. As soon as he reached the door of the hall, Xiao Ba jumped down from the window.

All four legs landed steadily in front of him.

"Meow... Cans..." Ba Mao blocked his way.

Yes, he promised to give it a few cans of canned food last time. It seemed that he had forgotten that it had not come to him for so many days: "Bamao, you have a good memory. Why didn't you think of coming to me earlier?" He asked with a smile.

Ba Mao wanted to jump up along his trouser leg.

Lu Jingxing was going to look for it, so he spread his hands and made a gesture of receiving. When Ba Mao saw it, he immediately jumped on him with his hind legs.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. Are you heavier again?" Lu Jingxing stroked its head.

The little guy hummed a little unconvinced: "Meow... I'm running..." and then he was ready to make running movements on his hand.

Lu Jingxing stopped it immediately: "Okay, okay, if you want to run, I can't hold you. Do you want the can first or go out with me?" He asked with a smile.

"Ah, go out, go out..." Ba Mao was very excited to hear that he could go out. He hadn't gone out this year.

"Okay, then I'll give you the can when I come back..." He was not a person who broke his promise, but he really forgot last time.

Just saw Ji An playing with the fish tank, he walked over with Ba Mao in his arms: "Ji An, clean the fish tank?"

Ji An heard the words and immediately turned around: "Ah, Brother Lu, no, the fish tank was just cleaned yesterday, there is no need to clean it today, I'll just take a look..."

"Okay, come with me to go out for foreign aid..."

Ji An and Xiao Pang were originally part-time employees. Xiao Pang was one year younger than Ji An. Ji An has been an intern since this semester. In the first half of the year, except for going back to school when he had to write a paper, he could work long shifts. Because he did a good job in return visits last year, Lu Jingxing arranged for him to be responsible for this matter.

Return visits do not require going out every day, so he has nothing to do today.

When he was free, he usually stayed in the store, helping wherever he saw help was needed, and he didn't have a fixed position.

Hearing that Lu Jingxing was going to take him out for help, he was as excited as Ba Mao: "Okay, okay, let's go now?"

Lu Jingxing looked at his happy look and smiled: "Yes, let's go right away, you drive, go check if all the tools are in the car first..."

"Okay, I'll drive the car over..." Ji An said and jumped out.

Lu Jingxing picked up some cat food and canned food in front of the shelf. Before the New Year, he cleared all the food in the car and needed to replenish it.

After he finished picking up, Ji An drove the car and honked the horn at the door.

Lu Jingxing said something to Ding Fang at the front desk and went out.

He usually drove, but today he was lucky to have Ji An. He knew the address sent by the girl and drove directly there without using the navigation.

When they were about to reach the community, the girl called: "Brother Lu, I'm really sorry. My company has something urgent to do and I can't help you catch them together, but I told the security uncle that when you arrive, you can just find the security uncle directly. Sorry..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and said: "It's okay, you go and do your own thing, I will send you a message then..."

Even if you are there, you may not be able to help, Lu Jingxing didn't say it.

The girl apologized again and again before hanging up the phone.

Wait until the entrance of the community.

Lu Jingxing got off the car. This community was the former staff community. The guard room was a separate brick house at the entrance of the community.

He turned around and did not see the litter of kittens that the girl had called.

There was no one in the security room either.

He and Ji An took two cages from the car and put the canned food in.

There was a wall next to the guard room, and behind it was a long carport, which was also made of bricks. There was a gap between the carport and the guard room. Lu Jingxing did not hear the cat's cry, but he thought that this gap should be the place where the cat fell that the girl who asked for help said.

The roof of the guard room and the carport were not high, probably just a little more than two meters. Lu Jingxing could even easily put the cage on the roof.

But the roof was made of colored steel tiles, and people could not stand on it.

As soon as the cage was put on, an auntie came out from the community. Seeing Ji An pulling the net bag, Ji An's first time participating in rescue, he looked like a thief and a bandit. She hurried over and said, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Her tone was not very friendly.

Lu Jingxing walked over quickly: "Auntie, we are here to rescue stray cats. A girl in your community called us and said there is a kitten that needs rescue, so she asked us to come..."

"Oh, is it the kitten that fell into the cracks of the bricks? It was rescued by the security guard and placed in the guard room." After hearing about their purpose, the auntie's tone became much kinder.

"Really? That's good. The rescuer just told us to come over..." Lu Jingxing was a little confused, but he was still happy to hear that he was rescued. After all, their purpose was to rescue the kitten, and it didn't matter who rescued it.

"I'll take you to see. The security guard should be on patrol now and will be back soon..." The auntie enthusiastically took them to the door of the security room, wanting to lie down on the window to see if she could see the kitten.

At this time, the security guard who had finished patrolling also came back. Seeing several people surrounding the guard room, he immediately came over and heard about Lu Jingxing and his purpose.

His expression and tone were quite disdainful: "It's useless to rescue..."

"Ah?" Lu Jingxing and the auntie looked at each other. Didn't they rescue it?

"Didn't you rescue it? I heard that you rescued it?" The aunt asked more anxiously than Lu Jingxing.

"No, how could I rescue it? It's such a small piece of land..." The security uncle said impatiently.

"Then tell them where it is. Tell them, maybe they can find a way?" The aunt is kind-hearted. She was more anxious than them when she heard that it was not rescued.

The uncle didn't bother about it anymore, and took Lu Jingxing and the others to the location of the kitten.

A few minutes later, Lu Jingxing finally figured out the situation.

The situation was more complicated than he had thought. The little guy not only fell into the crack of the wall, but also had fallen in for several days. From the outside, the little guy's location could not be seen at all.

Because it had been a few days and it rained yesterday, the little guy's voice was very weak, so the aunt couldn't hear the little guy's cry today, thinking that the security uncle had rescued it.

The security uncle took a wooden ladder from a staircase inside and climbed up first.

The wall is quite long, and both ends are blocked. Lu Jingxing just saw the outer section, and the little guy fell in the middle section, so he didn't see the kitten at all when he came.

The uncle took the wooden board off the wall, squatted on the top of the wall and looked for a while, then climbed down again: "It's right here. I put this wooden board up yesterday to cover it, otherwise, it would have been soaked to death by the rain yesterday..."

The uncle patted the corner of the wall, pointed to the opposite position, shook his head and said: "It can't be done, we have tried many ways, and there is no way to get in."
