Chapter 1: Don't move your pet 4
The sky gradually darkened. The street lights in the alley hissed a few times and then lit up. However, a few street lights not far away flickered unsteadily with an ominous sign.
“Pah, pah—”
There were unhurried footsteps coming from behind.
I couldn't help but look back. On the wall of the dimly lit alley, the projection of a twisted, horned monster was approaching us rapidly.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh—” I screamed and quickened my pace.
But before we had gone far, a high wall stood before us.
There is no way out...
I huddled in the corner, hugging Abaibai who was also shivering, and closed my eyes nervously.
Who is following me?
It turns out that my feeling of being spied on during the day was correct!
Woohoo, could it be that the dog thief who escaped earlier has come back for revenge? But why does the stalker have horns on his head?
Are there really monsters?
Wuwuwu, what should I do? Will I be eaten by that scary horned monster?
Woohoo, goodbye, mom and dad; goodbye, this world that I love so much...
“Pah, pah—”
The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped a few steps away from me.
Woohoo…so scary…
I didn't dare open my eyes, for fear of seeing something that would terrify me.
"Can you give my dog back to me?"
A very pleasant voice came from above my head.
Huh? The monster's voice is so nice and gentle?
I secretly opened my eyes, and under the bright light, a boy wearing a black and white cow hooded pullover stood quietly in front of me and stretched out his hand to me. He put on the hood of his clothes, which had a cow horn shape on it, making it look like he had a pair of "cow horns" on his head.
“Gudong——”
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. Is this the person who has been secretly following and spying on me today?
But, he, he doesn't look like a perverted stalker, does he?
He has fair skin, which shines with a soft luster even in the dim light. His soft hair hangs down gently, and his eyes are blocked by large black-framed glasses, so his eyes cannot be seen. Under his high nose bridge, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, but now they are slightly pursed, and he looks a little unhappy. He just stands there quietly, like a lazy kitten, making people want to touch him.
"Can you give my dog back to me?"
He looked at me without much expression, and just asked again in a low voice.
"You, your...dog? Are you, are you Abaibai's owner?" I widened my eyes in surprise and imitated him like a parrot.
"It's my dog. I met you because I ran away from home. So please give it back to me. It's very important to me." said the boy.
"Abaibai?" I glanced at Abaibai, then looked at him.
"No - I don't want to go! I don't want to go back with him!" Abaibai, who had been curled up in my arms, suddenly shouted after seeing him, "Help - I don't want to go to that damn place again! A place full of bacteria, I will die! I will definitely die! I will become dried dog meat , soaked in formalin solution with his internal organs and eyeballs -"
Abaibai was burrowing into my arms, shouting hysterically, his little body shaking.
I suddenly remembered how weak Abaibai looked when I first met him.
From the time it first came to my house and ate voraciously, to the time when I gave it a bath and it looked so disheveled, to the time when it puffed up its chest and said it was the messenger of the pet god, to the time when it held down a mouse and looked so proud...
No matter when, Abaibai had never been as panicked as he was at this moment.
Only if he really encountered something terrible would he become so timid and fearful, so -
I squinted my eyes and looked again at this boy who was dressed strangely but had a handsome and cute appearance - but who would know if behind such an appearance, there might be a super scary heart hidden?
Absolutely can't give it to him!
Although he might be Abaibai's master, he could make a pet so scared of him that it ran away from home and even trembled when it saw him...
There is only one truth - that is, he is definitely not a good master!
Dogs are human beings’ best friends and intimate companions. How can there be people in the world who would do something harmful to pets?
No matter how cute and pretty she looks, it's useless. As the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance! I absolutely cannot hand Abaibai over to this guy who calls himself the master but scares Abaibai so much that he trembles all over.
"Xiao Duo, don't give me to him. If I stay with him, I will die..."
A Baibai looked at me with great pity and wailed in pain.
"Don't even think about it! You bad guy, Abaibai has finally escaped from your hands, I will not let it fall into your clutches again!" I hugged Abaibai tightly and roared.
That's right, I want to protect the messenger of the pet god!
A sense of mission burned in my heart.
I hugged Abaibai tightly, stood up from the ground, and quickly took a few steps back to distance myself from the boys.
"Did you make a mistake—" The boy's eyes widened and he took a step towards me, and at this moment—
“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”
Dozens of rats suddenly jumped out from all directions. They passed me and rushed directly towards Abaibai's former owner.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak - we mice keep our words. Hurry up and leave. We are blocking you here -" a little mouse raised its head and said to me.
The sudden appearance of a large number of rats caught the boy off guard. He didn't know how to avoid them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I took Abaibai and ran past him to the other exit until we could no longer see the street where the alley was located.
"Squeak--" The sound of a mouse came from under my feet again.
I lowered my head and saw a little gray mouse standing at my feet.
"I...I asked my relatives to help you find the dog with the scar on its ear, but you already found it. However, I saw you being chased, so I asked my relatives to help you escape, so - do I still have some chicken roll to eat?" The little mouse covered his mouth with his front paws, and his mustaches on both sides trembled. He looked extremely pitiful.
"Thank you for saving me. Don't worry, I will definitely give you the chicken roll. Can I just send it to that trash can?" I said.
"Okay, okay, if you need me in the future, just call my name next to the trash can. My name is Little Tiger--" The little mouse named Little Tiger squeaked and disappeared into the darkness.
"Abaibai, don't worry, I won't send you back to that abominable former master!"
I looked down at Abaibai, who was raising his front paws to cover his eyes, his little body shaking, and looked extremely pitiful.
"Wuuu, Xiaoduo, thank you... You must protect me. I would rather die than stay with that guy..." A Baibai said to me in a "weak" tone that I had never used before.
"Yeah." I nodded and walked home holding Abaibai.
The night breeze was cool, and the street lights in the distance flickered like fireflies.
I suddenly felt like everything tonight was just a dream...
