help
After a moment of silence, Yun Jin asked, "So, you didn't run away because you were afraid of being sterilized?"
“Of course, why would I be afraid of such a thing?” Qiqi waved his paw, accidentally touching his wound and hissing in pain.
"Then you've wasted a lot of time here," Yun Jin asked cautiously.
"No, actually... I don't know whether I should go find him," Qiqi's eyes darted around. "What if he deliberately abandoned me? What if..."
"Sigh, it's hard to say about these things." Yun Jin propped her head up with her hand and looked out the window.
Silence fell over the living room once again. After a short while, Yun Jin's phone rang, the black screen was awakened, and Shen Yi'an's name appeared.
Yun Jin sighed, "Wait a minute, I'm going to take this call."
Qiqi nodded.
Yun Jin walked quickly into the courtyard, her finger hovering over the top of the screen for a while before she finally made up her mind to press it.
"Hello."
"Yun Jin, things are a bit complicated here, so I won't be able to come back for the next few days."
Shen Yi'an's voice was very low on the other end of the phone, and the surrounding environment was very noisy.
"Oh, I understand." Yun Jin lowered her voice as well.
"Aren't you scared living alone?" As if sensing her somewhat downcast mood, Shen Yi'an joked in a lighthearted tone, "You can call or text me if you need anything."
"No, what's so special about me that I'd like to be photographed?" Yun Jin's tone remained indifferent.
“Yun Jin, I’ll explain everything to you when I get back,” Shen Yi’an’s voice rose slightly. “Don’t be angry, okay? It’s not good for your health.”
“I’m not angry,” Yun Jin’s tone changed slightly at this point. “Please don’t assume that I’m a unreasonable person.”
"Alright, alright, I was just being petty and judging you by my own standards," Shen Yi'an seemed to breathe a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. "I'll apologize to you when I get back, Yun Jin."
"knew."
Yun Jin hung up the phone. Shen Yi'an needed to remind her that getting angry would affect her health, and she might not understand this.
Mind your own business, Shen Yi'an.
A gentle breeze rustled through the courtyard, causing a large tree to rustle softly. The air was filled with the unique fragrance of grass and earth, and the mood that had been disturbed by Shen Yi'an gradually calmed down.
Back in the living room, Qiqi transformed back into human form and leaned against the sofa.
Hearing footsteps, his ears immediately perked up. When he saw it was Yun Jin, he lazily drooped back down, his right hand fiddling with the bandage wrapped around his left hand.
"What's wrong? Is the bandage too tight?" Yun Jin stepped forward to check his wound.
"It's nothing, just a little itchy." Qiqi put her hands behind her back.
“Okay,” Yun Jin sat down on the other sofa, “Um… how did you get this injury?”
“On the way… I was running too fast and got cut by glass,” Qiqi said. “It’s just a minor injury. I’ve had bigger cuts before, but it’s nothing.”
"You've had a really tough journey. What are your plans for the future?" Yun Jin asked.
"I don't know." Qiqi covered her eyes with her right arm and spoke very softly.
"Qiqi, I have a question, but I don't know if I can ask it." Yun Jin thought for a moment and then asked.
"What's the problem?" Qiqi pricked up one ear.
"How old are you?"
"Well, in human terms, that's about twenty-something years old," Qi Qi tilted her head and looked at Yun Jin. "Why ask such a question?"
"Uh, I thought you were hundreds of years old. I'm so sorry." Yun Jin waved her hand.
"What do you really think of me?" Qi Qi's expression slowly turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Hehe." Yun Jin scratched her head.
Qiqi snorted and turned her gaze to the window again.
“Go find him, I can help you,” Yun Jin said loudly in an unquestionable tone.
Hearing this, Qiqi glanced at her in surprise, her eyes filled with suspicion as if to say, "What are you up to now?"
After a short while, he looked away and said in a self-deprecating tone, "This... what does it have to do with you? It's my business."
Yun Jin stood up, walked up to Qi Qi, looked down at him, shook her index finger, and gave him a "don't be ungrateful" look.
"You want me to help you, don't you? Otherwise, why do you come to me every time you run into trouble?"
Yun Jin paused for a moment, then put on an air of "a rare opportunity." Although she had been free these days, Yun Jin said, "I'm free recently. If you keep dawdling like this, you'll miss this chance."
Qi Qi looked up at Yun Jin's smug expression and couldn't help but smile. But he still stubbornly said, "Alright, since you're so eager to help me, I have no choice but to reluctantly agree."
"Thump—" Yun Jin quickly slapped Qi Qi's head.
"Ouch, that hurts! What are you doing?" Qiqi clutched her head and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Don't push your luck," Yun Jin said, rubbing her hands. "My hands still hurt a little!"
Qi Qi looked at Yun Jin defiantly and snorted a few times on the sofa.
"Alright, stop humming. Tell me first, what's that old teacher's name?" Yun Jin opened her phone. "Maybe we can find related reports or news on the local government website."
"I only know that his surname is Wang, but I don't know his given name."
"You've been by his side for years, and you don't even know his name?" Yun Jin's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Do you tell your dog your name?" Qi Qi looked at Yun Jin speechlessly.
He died before achieving his goal.
Yun Jin blinked, seemingly lost in thought: "Then let's forget it. I can't help you. Let's just leave it at that."
"Hey, weren't you just so determined to help me? And now you're giving up like this?" Qi Qi was very dissatisfied and looked at Yun Jin with disdain.
Yun Jin plopped down on the sofa with a "thud" and bounced twice. She looked at the ceiling and swung her legs back and forth: "But if I don't even know the name, where do I even begin to look?"
"By the way, do you know the name of that village?"
"I don't know, the people there speak a dialect that I can't understand at all." Qi Qi's ears drooped down.
"How did you find it before?" Yun Jin picked up her phone and looked at the reflection of Qi Qi on the screen.
Qiqi stretched her head with her hands, her brows furrowed in distress, and her tail drooped to one side, looking completely listless: "I found it by its scent."
"Qiqi, could you give a general description of where Teacher Wang teaches?" Yun Jin opened her notes app. "Now we can only turn to the all-knowing netizens for help."
"Let me think... There are green terraced fields of varying heights, the classrooms are two stories high, surrounded by buildings on three sides, with a peeling basketball hoop in the middle, the doors are dilapidated, and there are always piles of firewood in the corridor."
"There was a small blackboard hanging in the classroom, and there were about thirty students. Besides Teacher Wang, there was also a slightly younger male teacher who taught singing and such."
"There's a dry toilet not far from the classroom, and there are maggots in it..."
"Stop, stop, hold on, there's no need to go into such detail," Yun Jin gestured for a pause, looked at Qi Qi, and said with a pained expression, "You haven't eaten shit, have you?"
"Don't make false accusations, okay?" Qi Qi suddenly jumped off the sofa, pointed at Yun Jin and shouted, "I'm a monster with dignity, not just a dog!"
"Excuse me, please continue. I won't interrupt you." Yun Jin made a "please" gesture.
Qiqi's tail wagged angrily: "And... Teacher Wang will live not far from the classroom, and there will be a lot of mosquitoes at night."
"There are rabbits on the mountain, and a cunning old wolf. I heard that it killed a person before. Once, I met it on a narrow road, and it almost bit off my tail."
At this point, Qiqi hugged her tail and breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a lingering fear.
"But I didn't let him get away with it either; I bit off one of its ears..."
Yun Jin glanced at him speechlessly. He was completely immersed in reminiscing about the glorious past, and although he had said a lot, there was very little useful information.
Looking at the few characteristics that could be barely extracted from the memo, which seemed to be common in most rural areas, Yun Jin's forehead bulged with another vein.
"Isn't there any other information?" Yun Jin interrupted Qi Qi's incessant chatter, unable to bear it any longer. "I mean, useful information."
“No, after all, I couldn’t have predicted things would turn out this way back then,” Qi Qi sighed. “These are all I remember.”
“Okay, I’ll post these online and see if I can find any clues,” Yun Jin said.
Qiqi's tail wagged again: "Thank you very much, Yunjin."
Which platform should I post it on? Yun Jin was stumped for a moment. While swiping through the apps on her phone, an app she hadn't used in a long time caught her eye.
By the way, you can try using the account "Yunmiaomiao's Daily Life". Although it hasn't been active for a long time, it still has a lot of followers, so hopefully it will be more effective than a regular account.
Actually, in terms of fan base, hiring Shen Yi'an would be more effective, but Yun Jin wouldn't go to him.
"Alright, sent successfully. Now we just have to wait." Yun Jin breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the information had passed the review.
"How long do we have to wait?" Qi Qi suddenly moved closer to Yun Jin. "Are there any clues yet?"
Yun Jin pushed Qi Qi away, "First of all, don't get so close. Secondly, this takes time and won't be quick."
Qiqi sat back down and stared longingly at Yunjin.
"Finally, don't look at me like that, it makes me very uncomfortable." Yun Jin blocked his eager gaze with her hand.
"Waaah~" Qiqi shrank in size and lay on the sofa, whimpering incessantly.
Yun Jin: Why am I being so enthusiastic?
