————————"Natsume's Book of Friends"
If you can't win, retreat strategically.
Zhao Huan squandered the strength accumulated in his body wantonly, and no longer aimed at the Mantis brothers. He threw the Poké Ball fiercely towards the top of the leafy ginkgo tree. "Poké Ball, I don't want it anymore!"
“I’ll eat you sooner or later!
Zhao Huan smiled brightly, his white teeth sparkling in the sunlight.
After entering the first floor lobby, Zhao Huan grabbed his backpack and prepared to go upstairs. He found that the weight of the backpack was not right, so he quickly opened the zipper of the backpack.
"Where's Mantis Claw?"
"Where are my huge mantis claws?"
"When was it lost?"
Three questions came one after another.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jiaxin's voice came from the headset. The computer showed that Zhao Huan's heartbeat soared from 75 to 130 in an instant.
"The mantis claw that I opened from the treasure chest this afternoon is lost. I don't feel anything."
"Come back first. I'll try to crack the surveillance camera in the lobby on the first floor."
"Got it. I'll go home first."
The most terrifying thing is always the unknown.
Second floor, study.
Shen Jiaxin quickly gained access to the surveillance camera in the lobby on the first floor with a series of operations.
In the video, the door of the escalator suddenly opened, and then a huge dog's head popped out.
Seeing that there was no one in the hall, he walked to the backpack with a clear purpose, unzipped it skillfully, stared at the mantis claw inside, and smiled with his mouth wide open, his mouth stretched to his ears.
"This dog is definitely a local spirit. He took the mantis claws and zipped up his pants. And with that coquettish cat walk, he really deserves a beating."
"This is Xiao Hei from Uncle Liu's family."
Shen Yunxi suddenly spoke, her tone very certain.
Shen Jiaxin and Shen Yunxi both looked over, confused.
"It's Uncle Liu on the third floor of our building. This is his dog, Xiao Hei, the one who always likes to fight with the bull."
Shen Jiaxin had no recollection of it. She spent far more time on business trips than at home, and she couldn't even recognize all of her neighbors, let alone the dog that her neighbor raised.
Zhao Huan had some impression of it, and asked uncertainly, "The one with the tiny Teddy Bear?"
"Yeah!" Shen Yunxi nodded.
"This is clearly a Tibetan Mastiff." Shen Jiaxin said, pointing at the big black dog in the video.
"There's a five-pointed star mark on Xiao Hei's paw. Uncle Liu said it was there when he adopted him."
Shen Yunxi pointed at the big black dog in the video and said.
"Really? This is really Uncle Liu's dog."
The thief who stole the mantis claw was found, and Zhao Huan felt relieved. At least it wasn't some unknown monster.
"I don't know what happened to Uncle Liu. He and Xiao Hei are the only ones at home."
Shen Yunxi continued, "Dad, let's go see Uncle Liu."
"This big black dog doesn't look like a ferocious monster. It should be fine. Judging from the video, it seems to recognize us."
Shen Jiaxin expressed her guess.
"To be on the safe side, you can bring a few more mantis claws to use as a diversionary tactic at a critical moment."
"Or I'd better go by myself. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of Xixi if she really encounters danger." Zhao Huan said worriedly.
"Dad, I'm very familiar with Xiao Hei. I even helped Xiao Hei fight a bull!"
…………
Have you ever done this? I was wondering why the bull always barks when it sees you.
"Come on, come on, this time I'm relying on you to protect Dad."
Shen Yunxi laughed out loud.
