Chapter 12 This world is dilapidated, but someone will always patch it up.
To be honest, this woman is very beautiful.
Yu Qing was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and nodded: "Yes, it's a cow cat."
The woman in Hanfu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved. I work at a nearby stray cat rescue station. A batch of stray cats were brought to our station tonight, and this one accidentally ran away. Luckily, you found it."
Yu Qing said apologetically, "It's okay, it just happened to run onto my balcony, but its leg seems to be injured."
"Ah, let me see." The woman in Hanfu hurriedly squatted down to examine the wound on the cat's leg.
Sure enough, something had cut the cat's leg, and bright red blood stained its white fur, making it look particularly pitiful.
The woman in Hanfu frowned slightly, her delicate brows furrowing, and said with a hint of heartache, "Why are you so disobedient, you little rascal? There are so many bad people outside, now you know what pain is!"
Yu Qing felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
It's obvious that the bad guy they're talking about is him.
The woman in Hanfu seemed to notice Yu Qing's embarrassed expression, and said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand, I wasn't talking about you. It's just that there have been a lot of people abusing and killing stray cats lately."
"I understand, I understand." Yu Qing smiled awkwardly.
She said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um, could you help me buy some alcohol and cotton swabs from the pharmacy at the entrance of the community? I want to bandage it."
"Okay, then wait for me a moment."
Yu Qing handed the cat to the woman in Hanfu, then opened his umbrella and walked towards the entrance of the residential area.
The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow on the ground, draping the night in a thin veil. Yu Qing found the pharmacy at the entrance of the residential area, paid, and carried the bag back home.
However, just as he turned the corner, he saw Lu Chi's figure appear not far away. He wasn't carrying an umbrella, and he was walking very fast, as if he were fleeing a murder scene. He disappeared at the entrance of the residential area in a few breaths.
Yu Qing paused slightly.
"Strange, why is he still here?"
He glanced in the direction Lu Chi had just come down, his heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Could it be that...
He quickly ran towards the beautiful woman in Hanfu he had just seen.
Yu Qing ran very fast, almost tripping halfway through, until he saw the beautiful woman in Hanfu appear in his field of vision unharmed.
The weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted.
The woman in Hanfu saw him running over, looking exhausted and out of breath, and smiled gently, "The roads are slippery because of the rain, you don't need to run so fast. Actually, cats are very perceptive, they probably know you went to buy medicine for them, and look, they're not making a fuss at all."
Yu Qing then realized that he had actually been sweating from nervousness. He looked down at the cat in the other person's arms. The cat was lying obediently on her chest, not moving at all as she held it.
"Hmm, it seems to be quite human-like..."
Yu Qing touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and handed the bag over.
The woman in Hanfu took out cotton swabs and alcohol from her bag and gently wiped the wound on the cat's leg with slow and careful movements.
Seeing her actions, Yu Qing suddenly said, "I wonder what kind of mentality those cat abusers have."
The woman in Hanfu sighed and said, "Personally, I really love cats. Sometimes I speak up for them online. Animals can't speak, but they have feelings too. They also crave love and care. It's a pity. If only there were animal protection laws, most tragedies could be prevented."
Yu Qing comforted her, "Don't worry, I believe that heaven is watching what people do, and those people will get their comeuppance sooner or later."
The woman in Hanfu smiled and said, "I hope so."
After wiping away the blood, she carefully held the cat in her arms, stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll take it home now. Thank you for today."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."
"Okay, goodbye!"
The woman in Hanfu waved and walked towards the gate of the residential area, carrying her cat.
Yu Qing's gaze fell on the receding figure, and a strange sense of joy welled up in her heart. This world is already broken and dilapidated, but there are always some people who patch it up.
That's why the world is a good place.
Back home.
Yu Qing took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack next to the sofa. Then he picked up a hairdryer and dried his hair. After that, he walked to the computer desk, sat down, and took out a notebook from the drawer.
I started writing down the events of the past few days in a connected sequence.
The dead dogs, the dead stray cats, and the injured calico cat today—all are inseparable from Lu Chi's presence.
All the information and evidence pointed to one answer: Lu Chi had begun to abuse animals.
Yu Qing then took out the painting in her phone's photo album and stared at the female protagonist's eyes in the photo. Her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins and pain, and she was screaming in a strange and distorted posture.
"Could this be a sign of something?"
Yu Qing frowned and muttered to himself.
He then wrote in his notebook: Yang Jing, Lin Yueyue.
Regardless, these two were his main targets, and he tried to prevent them from having any contact with Lu Chi if they wanted to live.
...
It was very late at night.
The Hanfu-clad beauties crossed the park as usual. Few people walk through this dark alley, especially after dark when it is deserted.
On both sides were abandoned old houses, and the occasional barking of dogs could be heard around. The woman in Hanfu glanced at the time on her phone and quickened her pace.
After walking for a while, she slowed down.
She noticed a strange person standing under a streetlamp ahead. This person was not holding an umbrella, was looking up at the dark sky, and stood motionless by the roadside.
This scene was very strange.
At this moment, the cat in the arms of the Hanfu-clad beauty began to stir, as if it sensed some danger and wanted to break free from the human's embrace and escape.
The woman in Hanfu tried her best to calm the cat down. If she went back the way she came, it would waste half of her time. In addition, the cat was wearing a school uniform, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.
"Hey kid, are you alright? Do you need any help?"
She stepped forward and politely inquired.
Hearing her words, the man finally reacted. He turned his head to look at her, then turned his gaze to the cat in her arms and stared at it intently.
The woman in Hanfu felt a little uneasy under their gaze and instinctively hugged the cat in her arms tighter. She forced a smile and said, "Classmate... you should go home quickly, you'll easily catch a cold like this."
"Can I have your cat?"
Lu Chi pointed to the kitten in the arms of the Hanfu-clad beauty.
The woman in Hanfu seemed to sense something was wrong with the other person. She slowly walked around him and headed straight ahead. Her steps became more and more hurried, and finally she ran. She rushed into the dark rain, leaving a trail of messy footprints on the ground.
Lu Chi stood quietly in the dark corner, staring blankly at her departing figure. The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he could no longer maintain his calm facade, seemingly falling into a state of hysterical madness.
