940 Web Crawler (1/2)
Zhang Zian wanted to find a moment of leisure in his busy life.
He was heading off to the capital the next day, so that day was his last leisure time before he had to leave.
In the morning, Zhang Zian and the shop assistants finished cleaning and saw that it was still early. There were no guests for the time being, so they each went to find their own places to rest.
Lu Yiyun laid on the cashier's desk, concentrating on painting. Even though she did not want to go out to sea to whale watch, she was unable to endure the urges of the rest of the people. She was hesitating as to whether she should join the rest to watch a movie at night, but that meant that she needed go to the cinema.
She had not gone to the cinema in a very long time. She often felt that it was kind of an exclusive place that had nothing to do with her, but she did not give a flat refusal. Instead, she thought about it over and over again.
Wang Qian was not using his phone to play games, which was rare for him. Instead, he was searching for different kinds of snacks from online retailers. It was a difficult chance to come by––to go out to sea to play for a day––and he definitely wanted to play for a long time. He wanted to play to his heart's content.
Li Kun was next door choosing drinks to buy.
Jiang Feifei borrowed a camera from her classmates. It was best to bring a DSLR camera with a long focus lens. At sea, the shooting range of a phone camera was not enough. If they met whales but did not have any pictures, wouldn't that be a pity?
Zhang Zian was reclined on the recliner chair with a Ge You posture, and was also playing his phone; however, he was not chatting with anyone and was not playing games. Instead, he was checking the forums.
Recently, he had been busy with things, so he did not have time to casually check through the Wang Haige Forum. Since that could be considered where his store grew from, he would occasionally go and bless it.
As he entered the pets section, he just happened to find a new post:
[High Salt Content]: ”I want to buy a cat. Which local pet shop or cat house is most reliable?”
He suddenly felt refreshed, and his hands quickly typed out a reply.
[The Hottie Manager]: ”Of course it's the Amazing Fate Pet Shop on Zhonghua Road. The prices are affordable––they don't cheat you of your money––and the most important thing is that the boss is very handsome! Right, is the host a beautiful woman? If you are a beautiful woman, it is not recommended that you go, because you could faint because of the boss' handsomeness.”
He pressed ”reply” contentedly.
He did not think someone would reply so fast.
[High Salt Content]: ”Haha, it's not a beautiful woman, it's a rough man. Zhonghua Road right? All right, I've taken note of it.”
Immediately, there were other people replying.
[Projectile]: ”What the f*ck! The rare elite has appeared. Everyone come and quickly kill it! Maybe a few cats and dogs will drop!”
[The Forehead Reflects Light]: ”Silently watching a big scale, pretentious act fail in real life.”
[High Salt Content]: ”??? What are you all saying? Is this some code that the pet section specially uses?”
[A Deadly Stone]: ”I'll be kind-hearted and tell the host: the first person who replied you is the owner of that shop. He is not handsome at all!”
Zhang Zian had already separated himself from that forum post, and went to browse other posts in the pet section. He would let them show off for a while, then in a while he would return to open up a group ridicule.
He was swiping his finger on the screen, and very quickly noticed another post.
[Fat Security Guard]: ”Have you all heard about the cat abuse case at Shimen Street Primary School a few days ago?”
[Look At That Dog]: ”I did not hear about it. What happened?”
[Strongest Paragraph Player]: ”What? Even primary school children are abusing cats now?”
[Collapse The World]: ”I heard about this incident. I live at Shimen Street, so I heard about it. I even went to the actual scene.”
[Fat Security Guard]: ”Brother, talk about it.”
[Collapse The World]: ”There's actually nothing to talk about… You all know the bamboo forest behind Shimen Street Primary School, right? There are quite a lot of old people near there, so in the mornings, there are often old men or old women doing Tai Chi or kicking shuttlecocks. Since there isn't any cement pavement, there is no one square dancing. I don't know when it began, but it has become a base for stray cats. Sometimes people take things to feed the stray cats, but I personally don't support it. When they do that, more stray cats will gather.
A few days ago, I heard that there were pupils abusing cats there. Teachers told parents that they needed to teach their children to not bully kittens––the kids could not catch up to the adult cats, so they could only bully kittens.
When I first heard of it, I thought it was just children being mischievous and throwing stones at kittens; however, this morning when I passed by that place on the way to work, I saw something squirming in the grass. I thought it was a kitten that had not opened its eyes. Upon seeing that there were no big cats around, I decided to go and help it.
I meowed to imitate the cat. There was a kitten that crawled out of the grass; it limped and crawled to where I was. As it crawled and crawled, it crawled incorrectly…”
[Fat Security Guard]: ”Brother, why did you stop? Is it that the child broke the kitten's legs?”
[Collapse The World]: ”No, the kitten's eyes had been dug out.”
[Strongest Paragraph Player]: ”It couldn't be, right? That's so cruel.”
[Look At That Dog]: ”F*ck! Are you sure a child did it?”
[Collapse The World]: ”It's practically confirmed, even though I did not see it with my own eyes. If I had seen it with my own eyes, I would definitely have stopped the child.”
[Fat Security Guard]: ”It's really that there are talented people coming out every generation, and each new generation takes the place of the old generation! Thinking back, when I was young, all I dared to do was pull on the grasshopper's legs and use hot water to burn ants…”
[34562]: ”Did no one bother about this incident? Are the parents not going to educate the child?”
[Collapse The World]: ”Didn't I say it just now that the teacher had issued a warning to the parents? There weren't many parents that took it seriously, though… They only cared about the children's grades. It seemed like there was a child who had been caught red-handed abusing cats, and the teacher had his parents come over… But his parents only lightly said, 'He's just a kid.'”
[Graceful Rhythm]: ”My back turned cold after reading this. I predict that in 20 years, the China version of Hannibal will appear in Binhai City.”
[lxm]: ”What you said was right. Many notorious serial killers started off with childhood animal abuse.”
[Dark Night MK]: ”These parents are really… Sooner or later, there will be a day they regret it.”
[Wooden Horse]: ”The vital part is that our country does not have a protection law for small animals currently… Even if an adult was caught abusing animals, the only punishment would be judgement.”
[Fat Security Guard]: ”Migrate, migrate! Before this group of children grows up, I need to quickly move to another city. Does any nice person know which city has less perverted children?”
[Collapse The World]: ”Speaking of that, I actually heard about something else.”
[Fat Security Guard]: ”If it's another case of a child abusing a cat, then forget it. My heart cannot take it anymore…”
[Collapse The World]: ”That's not it. After I heard about this case, I suddenly had an idea and compiled a web crawler program to collect relevant information with the keyword ”cat abuse.” Guess what I found?”
