Li Du left with Ah Ow, her little nest, and her toys. Sophie stood at the door and watched. Her gaze was long and sad, like a mother watching her child leave home.
Ah Ow was a heartless little rascal. After eating and drinking her fill, she curled up in her little nest and fell asleep. She was even snoring, "Coo, coo, coo!"
Li Du brought Ah Ow into the car. Ah Meow and Crispy Noodles were stunned. Ah Meow looked at Ah Ow, who was in her nest, and then looked at Li Du. Then, he cried, "Meow! Meow! "
"Stop shouting. She will live with you from now on. She will be your little sister, your little friend."
"Meow! Meow! "
"Daddy still loves you the most. Can you stop calling me, my dear child? Look at how cute this little sister is. She will be your little follower in the future. "
"Meow, meow!"
"Alright, alright, why haven't you stopped yet? What a pain in the ass. It's not like it doesn't want you anymore. It won't steal your dried fish. Look at Crispy Noodles, it's so well-behaved. "
Seeing that Li Du was looking at him, Crispy Noodles sat up straight and put on the posture of an obedient child. However, from time to time, he would glance at Ah Ow with a dangerous gaze.
Li Du knew very well that Ah Meow was a spoiled child. It liked to act coquettishly and throw tantrums, but it did not have any bad intentions.
Crispy Noodles was different. This brat was very black-bellied, and he had to be on his guard. Otherwise, Crispy Noodles might pull some underhanded tricks.
Back at Pine Tree Tops, Luo Qun was eating her sandwich listlessly.
After seeing him, the policewoman's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Yeah yeah yeah, Good-For-Nothing is back."
"What?" Li Du's eyes widened.
The policewoman awkwardly smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I got too excited and said what's on my mind. What should I say? The chef is back, isn't he? "
Li Du sighed. "So this is how you see me? I treat you as my family, and I always remember you for all the good things. "
As he spoke, he took out a small gift box and handed it to her.
Seeing the gift box, the policewoman fell silent. She put down the sandwich and looked at him. For the first time, hesitation and confusion appeared on her face.
Li Du asked, "What's wrong with you? “
Instead of answering, Luo Qun asked, "Why did you give me this? What special day is it today? "
Li Du said, "Take a look first, I'll explain."
Luo Qun wiped her hands with a napkin and opened the gift box, revealing the rosewood bracelet inside.
Li Du did not choose the yellow rosewood for her. Instead, he chose the red sandalwood, which symbolized dignity and prayed for peace.
"What is this?" Luo Qun asked.
Li Du said, "Literary bracelets."
Luo Qun glared at him. "Am I blind? I don't see … "
Speaking of this, she seemed to have thought of something. She quickly changed her tone and said gently, "I know this is a literary bracelet. Why did you give it to me?"
Li Du said, "What do you see on the bead?"
"Buddha statue?"
"Yes, the Buddha statue," Li Du said. "Buddha will bless you, keep you safe, and help you achieve your wishes."
Luo Qun thought for a moment and said, "But, this is God's territory."
Li Du said, "It's okay. Maybe God and Buddha have business dealings? They will protect you together. "
Luo Qun shrugged and put it on her wrist with a smile. She asked, "What are you holding in your hands? It looks like a cradle. "
Li Du said, "No, it's a puppy's nest."
After he put it down, Ah Ow yawned and opened her sleepy eyes. She licked her mouth with her pink tongue and slowly crawled out of the nest.
Luo Qun looked at her and then at the bracelet on her wrist. Suddenly, she sneered, "I know why you gave me this bracelet. Ha, another pet?"
Li Du said, "Don't judge the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure! I'm not keeping Ah Ow here. I'll bring her to the campsite and let her watch the door! "
Luo Qun blinked and smiled again. "Oh right, sorry. I've been a police officer for a long time. I always like to doubt others."
Ah Ow put her head on the edge of the nest and stared at Luo Qun with her clear eyes. Seeing this, Luo Qun said, "This little thing is quite cute."
Unfortunately, she did not know why Ah Ow looked at her like that. If she had known, she would not have praised her.
After staring at Luo Qun for a while, Ah Ow finally understood that this was not Sophie's mother.
She turned her head and looked around. Realizing that this was not the familiar environment of Sophie's house, she cried, "Awoo! Awoo! "
Li Du hurriedly said, "Don't cry, Ah Ow. Be quiet."
Ah Ow was on the verge of tears. How could she be quiet? "Awoo! Awoo! "
Luo Qun said in surprise, "This is a dog? Are you sure? Why do I feel like it's a wolf? A wolf cub? "
Ah Ow did not care what the people outside were talking about her. She stood up and used her front paws to press on the edge of the small bed. She straightened her body and stretched her neck. She raised her head and howled at the top of her lungs, "Awoo! Awoo! "
Li Du also felt that this was indeed a wolf cub. How could a puppy behave like this?
However, he was unwilling to admit it. "This is a Czech Wolfdog. Do you know? Czech Wolfdog puppies are like this. "
Luo Qun shook her head. "No, this is definitely not a Czech Wolfdog! If it was another dog, I might not know, but I know very well about Czech Wolfdogs. Our police dog is a Czech Wolfdog. It was not like this when it was young. "
Li Du's heart skipped a beat. "Are you sure?"
Luo Qun ran back to the study. Li Du did not know what she was doing, so he picked up Ah Ow to comfort her.
Soon, Luo Qun returned with a photo in her hand. "Look, this is a photo of Toby when he was young. Look at him, he looks different from a wolf."
Li Du looked at the photo. It was a puppy with greyish-white fur. It looked about the same age as Ah Ow.
In comparison, the puppy's bones were more slender, its ears were longer, its face was longer, and the arc of its eyes and forehead was softer.
Luo Qun looked at Ah Ow carefully and said, "This is a North American gray wolf. This is definitely a North American gray wolf pup!"
Li Du said calmly, "You understand again. You really know a lot."
Luo Qun said, "Of course I know. You know that there are Mexican wolves in Arizona, right? Every time there are wolves, the police have to organize a team to drive them away. That's why there are many encounters. "
Mexican wolves were a subspecies of gray wolves. They were predators at the top of the food chain. They usually moved in groups and were found in the mountains of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
In the gray wolf family, they were smaller in size, but they were fast, resilient, smart, and cunning. They were opponents that many hunters did not want to face.
"Mexican wolves tend to have a narrow chest and strong back and legs, which makes them very mobile. Look at this little thing. Although she has not grown, she has already grown. That's what she looks like."
Listening to Luo Qun, Li Du carefully looked at Ah Ow's physical characteristics. Indeed, the situation was not optimistic.
