What exactly happened?
Little Cheng Shuang cupped her face in her hands and silently questioned, "Ugh! Why did my height of 1.4 meters have to shrink? You know, this is the result of drinking milk every day!"
The little girl sat in the transparent glass cage, looking utterly dejected. Especially when a large, furry, leopard-print head pressed close to the cage, watching her and squealing happily, she rolled her dead fish eyes and gave an impolite sneer.
"She looked at me! She looked at me! Oh my, she's so fair and cute!" Miss Leopard jumped around, her natural fur as fluffy and smooth as the hair of a pretty lady in a shampoo commercial.
Once it calmed down a bit, its large, jewel-like eyes fell on the person in the cage again. Its claws, painted with red nail polish, tried to tap on the glass cage to attract the attention of the little girl sitting obediently in the middle, but as soon as it reached out, it was held down by the furry claws next to it.
The owner of the furry paw said in a low voice, "Please don't bang on the cage. You'll frighten the human cub."
Cheng Shuang looked up at it and saw a majestic old axe wearing a bow tie. Its tiger-like eyes were incredibly dignified, and when it inadvertently glanced at her, its eyes flickered with a bright light. However, when the little girl put her chin back on her knees and showed a listless state of not wanting to pay attention to anyone, the old axe lowered its head in frustration.
This is clearly a pet shop. As a premium item, the little girl is placed alone in the most prominent C position. Opposite her is a wall of smaller cages, where the humans inside are covered with all sorts of strange strips of cloth. Some are sprawled out, dozing off; some greet every customer; some are mischievously tearing at soft cloth toys; some are only interested in their companions in the glass window next to them; and some are staring longingly at the big axe that is the owner. It shouldn't be admiration, because as soon as the big axe gets close, the petite human and pet will involuntarily shrink into a corner, trembling.
Occasionally, Cheng Shuang could hear the lively pets making sweet, coquettish sounds when they encountered interested guests, such as: "Wow, your fur is so shiny, you take such good care of yourself, you have the money to support me!" Or, "No, no, long bald guy, stay away from me!"
Bald man: I'm not bald, my scales are smooth, hiss hiss hiss~
Each cage has a small electronic screen outside its glass window, displaying information about the race, such as obsidian-haired race, golden-haired race, and crimson-moon-haired race. Below the race is the age, with those over 18 years old marked as adults, whether they are sterilized or not, and their vaccination status.
For more details, please check the electronic display.
The description of underage pets also includes a statement below that they are delicate, fragile, and clingy, and are not recommended for keeping as pets with claws. The terms and conditions, such as having to return them to the pet store for a free physical health check every month, are also more complicated than those for adult pets.
Customers came and went, and three pets were chosen from the cages, all of them adults.
Mr. Axe is indifferent to everyone. After payment, he will put on a stern face, fiercely hand the buyer an electronic care instruction manual, and require the buyer to read it carefully and sign it before taking the pet away.
After a day, the little girl had a complete understanding of the true nature of the animal planet.
This is a world where animals reign supreme. They possess intelligence comparable to humans, and not only have some behaviors not degenerated, but they have also developed remarkable technology. They can walk on all fours or stand upright on their hind legs; behaviorally, they are not much different from humans.
The only difference is that they don't need to wear coats; their fur is their best decoration.
So it's not that she's short, but rather that the animals on Animal Planet are naturally this tall and robust.
Cheng Shuang was quite calm. As long as there was no harm, she didn't mind staying in the cage for the time being. She would try to escape when Old Axe got off work in the evening. Although escaping was not a good idea, since it wasn't easy for stray animals on Earth, it was still better than staying in the cage stupidly until the return trip!
More than eight hours later, the easygoing little girl stood up straight and began to circle around in the cage.
"What's wrong with the little cutie?" Mr. Corgi wiggled his peach-shaped butt and frantically called over Big Axe. "Manager, is the Black Fur Clan cub sick? She was ignoring everyone and just sitting there blankly, but now she's getting restless again!"
Big Axe put down the bloody steak he was holding in his paws, ripped off his scarf, quickly wiped his paws clean, and ran over with a crouching gait, so fast that he almost knocked the Corgi off its feet.
Ignoring Mr. Corgi who rolled on the ground, it straightened its clumsy, massive body, its cold, brown eyes fixed on the little guy in the glass cage, its expression growing increasingly tense.
Cheng Shuang felt two gazes falling on her, her small body hunched over, and she turned her back.
"How is it? How is it?" The corgi kept running around the big axe. "Is the human cub sick?"
"What did you just do?" Big Axe turned his head sharply, his tiger-like eyes wide, and demanded, "Speak!"
"Woof...woof, I didn't do anything!" The Corgi tucked its tail between its legs, looking bewildered and shrinking back two steps under Mr. Axe's anger, whimpering, "I...I just licked the glass cage twice!"
The old axe was expressionless, but his brown eyes revealed deep disgust. "You dogs are really full of problems. Get out! I don't welcome you buying my pets! Your saliva contains too many bacteria, which will affect human health. And you don't know how to control yourselves... It's simply... Get out!"
The corgi was completely dejected, its back hunched, its big round eyes wet, and it walked out of the pet store with its head hanging low.
Once it was completely gone, the old axe turned back. Its tense expression softened considerably when it looked at the cage, but its ferocious aura remained undiminished. Its whiskers twitched slightly, and its breathing was extremely soft. It observed the little girl for a moment, then, seeing her rubbing her hands together, her face flushed and anxious, it nervously pressed the liquid paw spray bottle hanging in front of the cage twice. The spray instantly formed a film, and it opened the glass door, carefully extending its paw. Its voice was extremely low, a low hum like a subwoofer, "What's wrong, little one? Are you hungry? Thirsty? Or are you feeling unwell?"
Cheng Shuang had been waiting to be released for a long time and was very cooperative. This made the old axe, who thought there would be a great escape between humans and pets, purr with joy. But when he thought that the little guy seemed to be sick, he immediately suppressed his smile and hurriedly held her in his paw.
Cheng Shuang didn't want to sit down; she felt so suffocated! But it was absolutely impossible for her to relieve herself on that thick yellow cotton paper in the cage like a pet.
The little girl, biting her trembling lips, cried out to the worried old man, "I need to use the toilet! I need to use the toilet!"
However, the sweet, soft cry was like this: "Aww, aww, aww..."
Big Axe Peach Heart Eyes: The little guy talked to me, so, so, so cute!
Cheng Shuang: ...We can't communicate, we're doomed!
