Chapter 39 (1/2)

Truth be told, even in daylight Zheng Tan disapproved Youzi to go into the forest He had seen tooin this patch of woods Perhaps when the construction on surrounding building blocks had finished and the area began to populate, it would give a sense of belonging for the staffs and students

The forest was filled with fallen leaves and dead branches, but there were nureen as well Nevertheless, secluded areas always gave off a uish the sense of rising darkness behind it

Youzi clenched the rolling pin tight in her hands Clearly, she was nervous about the idea of entering the ”danger zone” They used to come here with Jiao Yuan and his friends, a nu and the boys ere brave, so they didn't feel uneasy

However,the way Despite being alone, she wasn't as frightened as other children

Zheng Tan listened to the sounds froirls had an intense fear and worry in it, and interled in their screa Tan felt that it displayed no signs of offense, but gradually, the howls of the black-backed changed as it became more impatient

The girls had no understanding or experience in keeping a dog, so they were not able to determine their 's psychology wasTan had no idea before, but now that he was a cat and alith these cats and dogs, he had gained some experience from daily life

To reconfir Tan sniffed around There wasn't any scent froer; because of the recent holiday, it had been a long time since any student had trodden steps into here The workers from the construction site wouldn't come here either They would find a place to smoke after they were tired, definitely not in the forest area which had signs hung around stating that srave trouble if the school officials were to catch them, their New Year's pay would probably shrink by a sizable amount

Zheng Tan was much more assured after he had confir There was nothing to be afraid of

When he finally saw the two little figures, Zheng Tan completely set his mind at ease There were no visible injuries on the two children, atThey were able to move in the meantime Otherwise, the first reactionat them like this would be to turn and run away

They didn't look older than Youzi One of the girls sat on the ground She had a blunt bang and was dressed like a cotton ball When she saw Youzi, it was as if she had seen her mother With tears in her eyes, she extended her hands and asked for comfort

The other girl wearing a pink quilted jacket clung close to the ”cotton ball” She didn't appear to be hurt, waving a stick at the black-backed that was nearby, trying to drive it away

When the girl in pink saw Youzi, she said, ”Are the adults froet this dog away!”

Youzi shook her head There weren't any adults close by

Seeing Youzi shaking her head, the two girls quickly beca to expel this dog?

The ”cotton ball” girl clutched her injured fingers, tre a few steps away Although this dog was definitely not er than the Chihuahua and Corgi in their courtyard Judging by the looks of the fangs in its mouth, a bite must be really painful!

The black-backed sensed Youzi and Zheng Tan approaching, only throwing them a look and then continued to bark at the two kids The barks becaent, yet none of the children understood what it was trying to express

Zheng Tan looked at his surroundings, then at the black-backed He detected that it was glancing at the ”cotton ball” girl now and then, not placingthe stick However, this kind of threatening action did make it rather pissed, so as it became more and hty, would you dare try to wave a stick at him? It would have immediately run up and wrapped its mouth around you

Zheng Tan sloalked over and cairl's side Youzi had wanted to block hi well Those in the courtyard was an exception; because they had grown up together, there wasn't s, but those outside were a different story Observing that the actions of her own black cat did not cause the dog to charge at him, Youzi became assured At the sa pin

Zheng Tan walked in a circle around the ”cotton ball” girl while still paying attention to the vantage point of the black-backed Finally, Zheng Tan leaned on his side and pushed the ”cotton ball” kid

”What is your cat doing? Get it away froht these new clothes for irl looked towards Youzi

”It's asking you to move a bit”

”Easy for you to say! Don't you knoisted my ankle? It hurts a lot!”

Youzi was about to say so Tan found the source of all the troubles Pushi+ng aside a corner of the wooly coat, Zheng Tan saw a yellow plastic Frisbee It had the tooth s and the scent of that black-backed

This is it!

Zheng Tan dragged the Frisbee outwards The black-backed saw Zheng Tan's movements and wanted to run over, but it was held back by the sticks wielded by the pink coat, so its barking became more intense

”You're sitting on so,” Youzi reminded

The cotton ball girl looked around her in doubt, then tried to shi+ft a little Right on ti Tan had freed the Frisbee With a lift and a pull of the claws, the Frisbee flew out

With the Frisbee in sight, the black-backed no longer cared about the three here Its tails shook frantically before Zheng Tan even threw the Frisbee It rushed off in a scamper happily when the Frisbee was in the air and ju back to the direction of the construction site with the Frisbee dangling in its mouth

The owner of the black-backed was probably talking a stroll around the construction site Other areas by the site were quite chaotic, which explained why its owner didn't hear the barking from here Otherwise, he would have whistled

The three children let out a long breath si had run away The pink coat didn't even care about the dead leaves and the ht down

All clear, the origins of misfortune had been found The two children becaized to Youzi rather sincerely A fault confessed is half redressed, this kid has a pretty good temperament

Zheng Tan climbed up a nearby tree and didn't stay with the three kids This was because the pink coat kept trying to stroke hi Tan turned and ran away Just won't let you touch me! Missy, your hands still have mud on it!

Cotton ball girl was recounting what they had gone through The adults went shopping today to prepare the New Year's produces The two of the in the sa in the same staff courtyard, their relationshi+p was naturally close

They heard that there was a patch of plum-blossom forest around here, so they came here themselves They didn't expect to be tripped by the exposed tree roots and couldn't stand up with a twisted ankle She had worn many layers and was distracted by the pain fro under her butt
