Chapter 176 The Cat in the Basement

This basement is not theirs, but there is a small vent in the basement, just below their windowsill.

I hadn't noticed it before, but there is a custom of making wind-blown meat during the Chinese New Year in Long'an. Her husband is from the north and likes to make sausages.

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

Who would have thought that this cat was also very cunning and only stole from the outside.

From inside their house, it looked pretty good.

But today she saw that it was snowing, and she was afraid that it would be bad, so she thought about it and saw the problem.

But she was angry, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She couldn't help but call them: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, I'm really embarrassed to call you..."

"It's okay, auntie." Lu Jingxing smiled soothingly 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: "It's here, they came out from here, climbed onto this pipe, and then jumped onto my balcony!"

They specially laid a small mesh wire mesh to prevent mice and cats.

It didn't work. The cats scratched a hole on the top and they came in and out freely.

Lu Jingxing looked in the direction she pointed and smiled: "This mesh... is like a staircase for cats..."

That's not free to come and go, if it's a steel plate, it's not that easy.

Steel plate...

The helper frowned and hesitated: "It's too stuffy..."

So there was no other way but to get rid of the cat.

Luckily, probably because of the strong smell of sausage, the cats only bit the sausage and one of the fish for the time being, and the wind-blown meat in the middle and the other fish were not moved.

The loss was not too big, so they just wanted to get rid of the cat.

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

The opening was aimed directly at the cage door. If a cat jumped out from here, it would directly hit the cage.

But after all, a cage can only hold one cat, and there are no telling how many cats there are in it. 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 go over.

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

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

Lu Jingxing listened and said helplessly: "Don't catch it directly, it's easy to let it slip away, just put it in the cage directly."

To avoid unnecessary trouble.

As a result, Yang Pei was unwilling: "It's really okay! I'll guard here with the cage, okay? It's too cold outside, and it's not safe here. Let Ji Ling go in with you!?"

Lu Jingxing thought about it and it was indeed the truth.

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

Thinking of this, Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, then Yang Pei will guard here - you must be careful, don't scratch it yourself."

Whether he can catch it or not is one thing, the key is to be afraid that the cat will scratch him.

This is a real wild cat. If it bleeds from scratching, he really needs to get a rabies vaccine.

"Okay." Yang Pei went over happily, holding the cage, ready to wait for the cat.

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

The person seeking help followed them, closed the door for fear that the cat would run out, and kept mumbling: "Because it's a basement, there's nothing to put in it. It's quite damp here, and it's easy to get flooded. They are so annoyed that they don't even put anything in it."

"Yes, this is the bad thing about Long'an. There are too many rainy days." Lu Jingxing responded casually.

After a few casual words, the mood of the person seeking help was gradually calmed down.

Diverted her attention, and stopped venting all her anger on the cat.

Lu Jingxing looked around. The basement was not big, and there were no important debris on the ground. There were only some empty cardboard boxes and some abandoned water pipes thrown aside.

He had just walked a few steps when two cats suddenly jumped out.

They jumped directly from the cardboard box, stepped on the wall and then jumped onto the vent.

It was so fast!

Lu Jingxing didn't have time to react at all, and Ji Ling's net bag was not used at all.

It felt like the cat had left a residual shadow!

"Ah, be careful!" Lu Jingxing hurriedly called Yang Pei, asking him to pay attention.

But there was no ventilation between this place and the outside, so no sound could be heard at all.

"How many cats are there in total? Auntie." Ji Ling looked at the person asking for help.

The movement just now also surprised the person asking for help.

She came to her senses and exclaimed: "Should be three or four...right? I'm not sure."

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

Lu Jingxing didn't rush out, but took the net bag from Ji Ling and walked over carefully.

Sure enough.

There was some small movement in the pile of discarded paper shells.

He walked over and gently opened it with his hand, and a cat jumped out and almost scratched his face with one claw.

"Meow, woo, woo!" It was a blue and white cat.

The face was not opened very well, a little crooked, but it was still pretty.

"Huh? What's the matter, why don't you run." Lu Jingxing looked at it and found that its left hind leg was always pressed under its body.

Lu Jingxing understood and walked over quietly: "Are you injured? Let me see."

Perhaps knowing that he couldn't escape, Lan Bai looked at him vigilantly, but didn't rush to attack.

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

He pinched 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.

Later, it was too fragrant...

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

In the end, it succumbed to the aroma of the cat strips, and ate while glancing at Lu Jingxing.

Even so, it didn't admit defeat in its mouth: "Meow, awoo, awoo, awoo..." I'm not afraid of you, I'll fight later...

Well, Lu Jingxing couldn't help laughing in his heart, and his face was calm: "Okay, okay, you eat first."

When it had almost eaten, he took action.

Lan Bai's eyes almost popped out: It just wanted to turn its face and deny people!

What, he moved faster than it! ?

Lu Jingxing grabbed its neck and looked at its hind legs: "Ah, it's all rotten."

I don't know what happened, no wonder it kept covering the wound.

The meat inside was turned outward, and it was already rotten.

Ji Ling came over with the airline box, and Lu Jingxing carefully put it in.

Once the wound touched the bottom, it was inevitably in severe pain, and Lanbai cried a few times.

"It's injured like this, but it's still energetic, not bad." Lu Jingxing touched its little head and comforted it: "I'll take care of it when I go back."

The person who asked for help also came over to take a look, frowning: "Oh, it's so pitiful, kitten."

She really didn't know that it was injured like this.

"The situation should be like this..." Lu Jingxing picked up the airline box and packed up the net bag: "This cat should be the mother cat. It's injured, so it can't go out."

And the two kittens before were its cubs.

Before this, the mother cat went out to find food to feed the kittens, so now that it is injured and can't go out, the kittens have to find food.

It is freezing outside, and the kittens have never found food before, so they can only aim at the sausages and fish at the aunt's house.

Hearing the person asking for help frowning, she was really regretful: "If I had known earlier, I would have let them eat it."

Anyway, it has been bitten, hey, she really doesn't know why it is like this.

Lu Jingxing smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, we will treat them well after we take them back, and we also have cat food here to supplement their nutrition."

These wind-blown meat, sausages, etc., are too salty, and cats can't eat them.

Lu Jingxing searched the basement several times again, and when he was sure that there were no cats, he took them out.

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

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

Hearing the sound, the mother cat Lan Bai got anxious and stood up to respond: "Meow, meow..."

The kitten became more worried when he heard the mother's voice, and scratched the cage frantically.

Obviously, it knew that the mother cat was injured and was afraid that it would be injured again.

Ji Ling looked at it with some concern and said hesitantly: "Or, should we put it in the airline box too?"

There is a cushion in the airline box, which can be warmer.

Moreover, it can also keep them together, so they won't keep crying.

Lu Jingxing looked at it, shook his head and refused: "The mother cat's hind leg is injured, and the airline box itself is not big. If this cat goes in again, it will be easy to step on it."

If the wound breaks open again, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

He brought the cage over and put it next to the airline box.

Fortunately, when the two cats got close, they sniffed each other next to the window, cried for a while, and then they felt relieved and stopped making noises.

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

"I was calling him, I don't know what he's doing." Lu Jingxing shook his phone, also having a headache.

The snow was gradually falling, and the key was that the other cat was nowhere to be seen, and the cage was also missing.

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

He seemed to be running, panting: "Oh, Brother Lu... I, I'm at the gate of the community... on the left, in the fitness area, you, you come quickly... This cat, this cat, it... It runs so fast, my god..."

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

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

Lu Jingxing said, "Oh", and immediately asked Ji Ling to guard here, and he went over with the net bag.

However, he didn't have much hope.

Once the wild cat is free, it really runs like the wind.

Having missed the advantageous geographical location of the vent just now, it will be very difficult to catch it again.
