Chapter 115: A Single Man and a Single Woman



It has been raining continuously for several days.

"Fortunately, the rainfall is not too heavy, and this place has not been flooded before, so the kitten's voice was quite clear before..."

But they didn't pay much attention to it, and they looked inside, but they always felt that the cat should be able to get out by itself.

Jiang Li squatted down with an umbrella and tried to look inside: "It turned out that it was still there yesterday, and I thought it couldn't get out..."

At this time yesterday, water had already begun to accumulate here, but it was not very deep.

But it rained all day today, and now the water is a bit deep when you look inside.

"I'm afraid the cat has been soaked." Lu Jingxing frowned and took a crowbar: "Open it all first and see."

He pried open all the sewers in this row.

He explored all the way and finally felt that the cat should be at one-fourth of the way.

"Fortunately, it's not too deep."

But how to get the cat out has become another problem.

Lu Jingxing thought for a moment and pointed to the other side: "Try to get something from there and drive it over here."

It would be best if the kitten could still move, after all, the tube was too small for them to reach in.

"But it can't be too hard, for fear of hurting the kitten." Ji Ling thought for a moment and took out the cotton yarn from before: "Wrap this and tie it with tape and try."

Jiang Li lives nearby and said that a garbage-collecting grandmother has a long stick.

She ran over to borrow it, and after taking it over, Ji Ling wrapped the front end with cotton yarn and tied it with tape: "This should work."

Lu Jingxing shone a flashlight here and estimated where the cat was based on its cry.

Yang Pei took the long stick and slowly poked forward at the other end.

The movement was very light, and the main purpose was to drive the kitten over, not to poke it directly over.

So the overall movement was not very fast.

"Ah, it can't be poked anymore!" Yang Pei shouted, slowly pulling it out a little bit and then pushing it in a little bit.

In order to hear clearly what was wrong with it, Lu Jingxing opened his heart.

His Xinyu has been upgraded now. Today, he only specified Qianqian, and now he just specified this kitten.

"Meow, meow..." The kitten cried softly: It's so cold, woof...

It's very cold, so it's estimated that water has entered the pipe.

Lu Jingxing listened carefully to its movements and asked Yang Pei to try to stretch forward again: The cat didn't cry out in pain, which means that the stick should not hurt it.

Yang Pei was slowly adjusting the angle over there, trying to choose a better force to push the kitten.

But the kitten just cried and didn't move much.

"It's probably hungry and can't move." Lu Jingxing paused, and then hesitated and said: "Or it's stuck in it."

It can't move, so it doesn't move.

"Then... what should I do?"

There's really no way, so I can only...

Lu Jingxing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Anyway, this side is abandoned. If it doesn't work, just pry it open."

The pipe was not buried deep, just this section.

From this side, it's only about one and a half meters away from where the kitten is hiding.

Yang Pei continued to poke with a stick, blocking that side so that the kitten would not be scared and then run over there.

After another half an hour of stalemate, the rain had already started to enter the water pipe.

No matter how Yang Pei poked, the kitten did not move.

He did not dare to use too much force, for fear of poking it to death.

"Never mind." Lu Jingxing's back was already soaked by this time: "Just pry it."

He got a shovel from the car and dug out the silt in the ditch.

Ji Ling asked Jiang Li to hold an umbrella for them, and she also took a small shovel to loosen the soil.

The water pipe was embedded in it with cement. Although it had been in disrepair for a long time, it was still a bit difficult to pry it open.

It took Lu Jingxing and his team more than half an hour just to dig out the silt accumulated on it, and finally exposed the water pipe.

"Get out of the way." Lu Jingxing took the crowbar and pressed it against the water pipe.

Using the principle of leverage, pry the water pipe up with force!

"Bang!"

The water pipe was not completely removed by his prying, but directly cracked.

"Damn it." Lu Jingxing wiped his sweat, took a pair of pliers, and pulled the fragments apart.

He looked carefully and listened to the position of the kitten: "It didn't move."

Ji Ling and Jiang Li looked down: "It might be really stuck in it..."

Otherwise, with such a big noise, it would be scared to run away.

"Well, let's take a look."

Lu Jingxing didn't even use pliers to clamp the fragments behind.

He simply pried all the way through.

Because the rain was getting heavier and the sky was completely dark.

This is a relatively remote area of ​​the community, and the street lights are very dim. You can't see clearly without a flashlight.

Since the kitten is stuck, he doesn't have to worry about it suddenly running out and scratching it with these fragments. Just pry it all the way through!

The soil and cement on it have been shoveled away, so it's not too difficult to pry it now.

Lu Jingxing pried it directly to the vicinity of the kitten in one breath.

"Meow! Woohoo! Woohoo!"

At such a close distance, the kitten seemed to be frightened, and it screamed in fear: Oh my god, it's so scary!

"Don't be afraid, kitten, we are here to save you!" Ji Ling gently comforted it.

But it was useless, the kitten still screamed.

Because it was too close, Lu Jingxing didn't use the crowbar anymore, but took pliers to open the pieces piece by piece.

When he got close to the kitten and shined a flashlight, he could finally see clearly: "It's really stuck."

The kitten's neck was stuck on a plastic bottle. It seemed to have struggled hard. The hair on its neck was gone, and its skin was exposed.

Yang Pei thought he had stabbed the kitten, but in fact he had not.

The stick only reached the end of the bottle and failed to touch the kitten at all.

"Wait a minute." Lu Jingxing moved his pliers over and found that the plastic bottle was stuck on the protruding link in the middle of the pipe.

He frowned and stared at the bottle: "How did the cat get stuck?"

I took a flashlight and illuminated the kitten's body clearly, and everyone fell silent.

It probably thought it was really liquid and worked hard to get inside.

This bottle has a small head and a large body, but the tail end is open.

The kitten got in from the end and got stuck in the pipe. Its head got through the opening, but its body couldn't get through.

It can't retreat, so it can only get stuck here.

Now there is water in the pipe, and the kitten is soaked all over.

Still leaving the thumping, the sound is thin and weak.

He looked quite fierce, grinning at Lu Jingxing.

Even if he can't bite or scratch, and his situation is so bad, he still refuses to admit defeat at all and is very fierce.

"Ah, I remembered." Jiang Li recalled: "When I came here to take a look before, the security guard said that there used to be traffic jams here when it rained, and it was useless to get through. There was no other way but to Once the water was re-opened, it was abandoned here.”

Maybe it's the bottle that's the problem.

It is big on one side and small on the other. As long as something floats in, it will get stuck.

If it is stuck, it will not be able to pass through the water, and it will definitely be blocked.

It's useless even if the key is connected, because both ends of it are connected. If the connection is opened, if anything passes through it, it will get stuck again.

"I'm convinced."

Lu Jingxing reached out and grabbed the kitten and the plastic bottle together.

"Meow, ow, ow, ow, ow..." The kitten fluttered, its hind legs kicked up wildly, and kicked the plastic bottle, making a loud sound.

Lu Jingxing tried to pull the plastic bottle around its neck.

Good guy, it's so tight.

The more he did it, the more miserable the kitten meowed and the more ferocious its expression became.

"Oh, forget it. Let's take it back first and then figure out how to get it out later."

Anyway, I can’t die now.

The key thing here is that it needs to be tidied up. Although it is abandoned, we can't leave it alone, otherwise it will be bad if someone trips over it.

Fortunately, there is a shovel.

It is difficult to dig out, but very easy to fill it up.

When he put the lid back on, Lu Jingxing was already soaked to the skin.

"I'll drive." Yang Pei didn't move much because he was holding an umbrella, which was okay.

"Okay." Lu Jingxing gave him the key. He couldn't drive in this condition.

Ji Ling found a towel and handed it to Lu Jingxing: "Please wipe it off and turn on the heating later to avoid catching a cold."

After taking it and wiping it, Lu Jingxing looked at Jiang Li: "We have to take this cat back to get rid of it. We may have to cut open the plastic bottle and shine it with a light to make it easier to get rid of it. We also need to give the kitten an anti-inflammatory bandage or something... "

"Oh, okay, do you want me to pay? How much will it cost?" Jiang Li hurriedly took out her phone and flipped through the payment page.

Lu Jingxing laughed and shook his head: "No, I want to say that we have to take it away now - do you have the intention to adopt it? Generally speaking, the kittens we rescue are adopted by those who ask for help. Priority.”

"Oh..." Jiang Li hesitated, a little embarrassed: "I live in a shared apartment with someone, and my roommate is allergic to cat hair..."

She can't just think about herself...

For adults, one click is all it takes.

Lu Jingxing said "Oh" and nodded: "Okay, then I will contact you on WeChat to see if there is any progress with the kitten. If there are such kittens in need of rescue in the future, you can continue to contact us."

It was normal for the person asking for help not to adopt a kitten.

Ji Ling, on the other hand, was quite emotional when they were on their way back: "It turns out there are still normal people... Sister Xiaodie and the others at that time never cared about my feelings..."

"Normal roommates, normal people will consider other people's feelings." Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head: "Those people are not normal themselves, understand."

"Yeah!" Ji Ling nodded and looked at him with some worry: "Brother Lu, are you really okay? Why do I feel like you have a nasal voice?"

No way. Lu Jingxing took a deep breath and tried his best to open his nostrils and said, "Yes? No."

As he spoke, he wiped it hard with a towel again.

The heating in the car is very sufficient, and I don't feel too cold at all.

Listening to it this way, it seemed that it was indeed not obvious. Ji Ling nodded hesitantly: "Oh..."

When they arrived at the store, the clerk had already finished get off work.

Without turning on the air conditioner, Lu Jingxing suddenly felt a little cold.

Ji Ling was keenly aware of it and quickly turned on the air conditioner: "Brother Lu, why don't you go back first, and Yang Pei and I can deal with this cat?"

"No." Lu Jingxing waved his hand and refused: "This cat is a bit fierce, I'm afraid you two can't control it."

Besides, how could they be alone in a room when they were alone? ?

It’s already past nine o’clock!
