When Wei Aiguo and his group arrived at the house in the mountains, it was already empty.
Wei Aiguo took out his flashlight and saw the cut rope on the ground. There were dog hairs on it, which meant that Bai Shuang had indeed stayed here.
Wei Aiguo carefully examined the two large canvas bags lying in the corner. One of the bags contained dog hair.
They must have put Yueyue and Baishuang in canvas bags and brought them out on the bus.
Wei Aiguo was heartbroken and vowed not to let them get away with it.
The water in the earthenware pot outside was still hot.
Wei Aiguo used a flashlight to illuminate the things in the room one by one.
On the dusty windowsill, there was a small bloody handprint.
Wei Aiguo was almost certain it was Yueyue's. His heart was breaking; what had happened to the child?!
The leopard lit a candle and looked around outside.
"I reckon the people here haven't been gone long. The temperature is low in the mountains, and there's already a light frost on the ground. If someone walked over it, there would be footprints. Let's hurry and chase after them."
The limited beam of light from the flashlight affected their speed.
They followed the trail to a village, but once inside, the footsteps were disorganized, and they didn't know where to begin their search.
The village is not large, and they plan to investigate gradually.
As soon as we entered the village, the dogs at the village entrance started barking.
Jin Wu threw a pebble at the dog, and it fell silent.
Leopard: "You didn't kill the dog, did you?"
"No! I know my limits. We need to be quick, the dog will be fine in no time!" Jin Wu said.
Wei Aiguo: "Let's take a walk around the village first!"
If you can't find it, ask someone at a local house.
This village isn't very big; any stranger who comes here should know about it.
...
Yueyue is so sleepy! The kang (heated brick bed) is warm, just like the kang her grandma sleeps on.
Yueyue's eyelids are drooping.
Yueyue shook her head. She couldn't sleep! What if Bai Shuang came looking for her?
If Bai Shuang can't find her way home, she will come looking for her.
We can't let these people catch Bai Shuang; they want to eat dog meat.
Yueyue stood leaning against the wall, nodding off sleepily.
There was snoring coming from the other room.
Yueyue climbed out the window again, but the window couldn't be opened. She struggled for a while, sweating profusely, before finally managing to open it.
The sound of "ha-chi-ha-chi" could be heard from under the window.
Yueyue whispered, "Bai Shuang!"
Yueyue's legs came down from the windowsill and landed on Baishuang's back.
There's no such thing as locking the door in a farmhouse, so Yueyue and Baishuang got out without any problems.
The child and the dog left the village. Yueyue was cold and tired.
Yueyue sat down on the ground, and Baishuang lay down beside her. Yueyue hugged Baishuang tightly. Baishuang's body was so warm.
Yueyue took out a vegetable dumpling from her bag and fed it to Bai Shuang, saying, "This doesn't look appetizing."
But you must be hungry!
Before Bai Shuang could finish eating the vegetable dumplings, Yueyue had already fallen asleep while clinging to her.
Because Bai Shuang's body felt so warm!
...
Wei Aiguo and his group discovered a house with its windows open.
What kind of weather is this? Who sleeps with their windows open?
They shielded their flashlights from view to avoid being discovered as they checked the windowsill and under the window.
There are dog paw prints under the window, and one of them is half a paw print.
It must be white-frost. Because one of its claws is lame.
They crept in quietly, but no one was inside.
In another room, snoring could be heard from all sides.
Wei Aiguo's biggest wish is to find Yueyue; these people can be dealt with later.
White Frost's paw prints were also found outside the yard. However, they were not found when they reached the edge of the village.
Kim Wu: "It looks like they went into the bushes."
The village was in a sheltered spot, where the air was warm and there was no frost. Footprints left no marks.
Moreover, everyone has trampled on the grass near the village. It's so messy that it's impossible to tell when it was trampled.
Leopard: "The child is so small, it can't have gone far. Let's look around the neighborhood."
"Bai Shuang!" Wei Aiguo dared not shout loudly. "Bai Shuang!"
The white frost, which was lying on its back, suddenly raised its head, as if trying to wake up Yueyue, who was lying on top of it.
But even though it moved, Yueyue didn't wake up.
“There are two highlights!” Jin Wu said.
Actually, I saw everything.
"Bai Shuang!" Wei Aiguo called out.
"Woof!" Bai Shuang barked.
"Quick!" Wei Aiguo rushed over.
White Frost whimpered, as if expressing its grievances. It remained lying there, its little owner nestled on top of it!
Wei Aiguo picked up his daughter, and at that moment, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.
"Oh no! Why is she so hot?" Wei Aiguo exclaimed in surprise, realizing that his daughter's body temperature was abnormal!
Jin Wu touched it and exclaimed, "He definitely has a fever!"
"Fire!" the leopard exclaimed.
Jin Wu: "Judging from the location, it looks like the house where the window was opened just now."
There were dogs barking in the village just now, but they ignored them.
Wei Aiguo held his daughter, calling out, "Yueyue! Yueyue!"
Yueyue did not answer.
Bai Shuang rubbed against Wei Aiguo's leg.
Jin Wu: "Your dog is really something else!" This dog doesn't bark, probably because it's afraid of attracting people.
"Bai Shuang is a retired meritorious dog, and she is exceptionally intelligent."
"Let's go into the village and find some fever reducers!" Wei Aiguo said.
Leopard: "Let's go!"
Even if the entire village is in cahoots with the child thieves, the three of them won't be afraid.
If one house in the village catches fire, the whole village will come to put it out.
But everyone, carrying buckets, stood silently in a circle.
This is not normal.
Wei Aiguo picked Yueyue up upright and let her rest on his shoulder. Wei Aiguo kept one hand free, ready to draw his gun at any moment.
“…Sun Shang, no matter how hard I work for you, you still treat me like a dog.”
If I don't get good, you won't get good either.
The fire is burning so fiercely, it can't be saved.
"That brat burned to death! Even if you twist my head off, they won't let you off!"
"He Fei, are you crazy? You really intend to shoot and kill someone? You won't be able to escape even if you kill someone!" said one of Sun Shang's men.
Sun Shang pursed his lips and remained silent.
Wei Aiguo had already drawn his gun.
Bai Shuang darted out and bit He Fei's wrist, dragging him down.
Leopard deftly picked up the hunting rifle.
Bai Shuang trampled He Fei under her feet and barked wildly.
Its cry woke Yueyue.
Jin Wu had intended to tie He Fei up, so Bai Shuang released her grip.
"Quickly put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire..." Someone shouted, and the villagers rushed to put out the fire, no longer standing there in a daze.
Bai Shuang pounced again in a flash, biting a man's shoulder and dragging him to Jin Wu, then another, and another.
Including He Fei, it was the four of them who captured Yueyue.
Yueyue initially thought she was dreaming, but then she stared wide-eyed at Bai Shuang.
White frost really can bite!
