It was really a super busy day!
Until eight o 'clock in the evening, there were still customers coming into the pet shop and the aquarium. Of course, some of them were onlookers who came for Famous, but as long as one of the onlookers was attracted by the pet and paid for it, it was a profit.
Zhang Zian ran back and forth between the two shops, feeling very tired. Fortunately, the two shops were close. If they were further away, his legs would be tired.
When it was almost nine o 'clock in the evening, Zhang Zian had to put up the closed sign. He tactfully persuaded the late customers to go back and come back tomorrow, and promised that they would still pay the discounted price tomorrow.
Several people sat in various positions in the pet shop, eating late dinner in groups of three or two. The group of three was Zhang Zian and the others, while the group of two was Jiang Feifei and Lu Yiyun.
In order to celebrate, Zhang Zian also ordered barbecue and iced beer, claiming that the beer and barbecue would fill their stomachs today.
The barbecue seasonings were plentiful. It was hot and spicy. After eating a big mouthful and drinking a glass of cold beer, it was very comfortable.
The weather was getting warmer. For young men, drinking cold beer would not cause stomachaches. When Zhang Zian was in Germany, he saw that Germans still drank cold beer in the coldest weather.
Jiang Feifei could drink a little, but Lu Yi Yun did not dare to drink, but she liked barbecue. Wang Qian and Li Kun were like starving ghosts, desperately filling their stomachs. Soon, their faces turned red and they began to brag.
The two girls were discussing the interesting things that happened in their respective shops today. When Jiang Feifei heard that a rabid cat almost made a big mess, she had mixed feelings.
"Master, let us pour you a glass!"
Li Kun saw that only he and Wang Qian were pouring beer after beer, but Zhang Zian was not drinking at all. This was not right, so he quickly raised the beer bottle to fill Zhang Zian's glass.
"No, I have something to do tonight. You guys drink. I'm fine with a soft drink." Zhang Zian covered the mouth of the glass with his palm and refused.
Li Kun was stunned with the beer bottle in his hand. "It's so late. What else do you have to do?"
"Do … do you want us to serve you?" Wang Qian asked, tongue-tied.
"Nothing special, just that I want to drive out. Just now, a fisherman told me that they caught a few rare fish from the sea and specially saved them for me. He asked if I was interested. Since I have nothing to do anyway, I'll go take a look, lest someone else buys it. " Zhang Zian was talking nonsense with a straight face. He also drove away Snowy Lionet, who was trying to sneak over and steal some food.
Wang Qian, Li Kun, and the two girls all believed that it was true. They really thought that there were fishermen waiting for him at the beach.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they cleaned up the leftovers and rested for a while before getting up to leave.
Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Jiang Feifei were currently living in the dormitory at Binhai University, so they could travel together. They sent Lu Yi Yun home first, then went back to school together.
After they left, under normal circumstances, they should close the shutter door and rest.
"Do you know what I envy the most about humans?" Fina yawned and said, "I envy the fact that you can add so many seasonings when you eat."
The barbecue that Fina and the others ate basically didn't have any seasonings. At most, they added some extra things like fragrant leaves. Seeing Zhang Zian and the others eat with their mouths full of oil, they couldn't help but drool. The other cats just drooled. Only Snowy Lionet took action and wanted to steal some food.
"Actually, it's not good to eat too many seasonings, even for humans. Cabbage and tofu keep you safe," Zhang Zian said. "We know that high oil and salt are not good for our health, but we just can't control our mouths!"
"Hehe, life should be full of joy. Don't let the wine cup be empty to the moon. It's okay to indulge once in a while. But Zian, you said that you're going out later. Why? "Old Time Tea laughed.
Zhang Zian had been partially hiding the situation of the stray cats from the elfins, especially Old Time Tea and Famous. It was because they had released the cats and dogs from Love Lovely Pets that the number of stray cats in Binhai City had increased. Of course, they did it with good intentions. Those cats and dogs in Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base didn't have enough to eat and sleep well, and they were injected with drugs randomly. Their actions saved most of the cats and dogs, and they found warm new homes. Even if a small number of cats and dogs became stray animals, they couldn't be blamed for it. After all, no one could have predicted such an outcome.
If chivalry was criticized, then who would be chivalrous?
Therefore, Zhang Zian just said, "I plan to follow the clues provided by Snowy to find the Holy Cat statue."
"So late? Why not wait until the day? "Old Time Tea didn't quite agree. There were many unsafe factors at night compared to the day.
"I have other things to do during the day," Zhang Zian said.
In fact, there was another reason. He thought that the cat abusers were likely to be abusing cats at night. It was too easy to be seen by others during the day.
He wanted to try his best to dissuade the cat abusers from continuing to do such meaningless things. If they wanted to vent their suppressed emotions, they could find other ways, such as playing FPS games, or learning boxing, taekwondo, or other fighting sports. What was the point of secretly abusing cats?
What's more, if a rabbit was anxious, it would bite. If a stray cat was cornered, it might fight back. Being scratched or bitten would be very painful.
Although the probability was very low, what if the cat abuser contracted rabies and didn't know it …
He knew that such dissuasion was likely to be ineffective. It wasn't easy to be a psychiatrist, but whether it was effective or not was one thing, and whether he did it or not was another.
After hearing about the cat abuse incident, he inquired about the relevant information. According to the information, there were generally two reasons for animal abuse. One was that they were under too much pressure and inadvertently found that animal abuse could relieve their own pressure. The occasional behavior became a habit; the other was that an individual had endured violence or cold violence, but because of their limited ability, they couldn't fight back against the abuser. So they chose to attack lives weaker than themselves to vent their emotions. Small animals such as cats and dogs were excellent targets.
The most troublesome thing was that such behavior was likely to be psychologically addictive. It was like eating a Maxi Xuan and couldn't stop.
The criticism from the outside world didn't arouse their guilt. Instead, it gave them a strange excitement. The louder the criticism, the more excited they were. Using such a method to ease the knot in their hearts wouldn't play a real role. After the excitement, there would be a deeper sense of loss and pain, so they came up with more cruel ways to abuse animals.
Not only ordinary people, but even the king of a country, who was in charge of the life and death of others, would also abuse cats because of the pressure.
Since 1904, the Tsar's family had been hiding in the Imperial Village on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. Not only did they not see the ministers, but they also did not see many of their relatives, the Grand Dukes. Nicholas II often, after quarreling with the ministers, he would hide and take a shotgun to shoot cats.
According to the palace records, he had killed thousands of cats. It was estimated that his Cossack Cavalry and Imperial Guards, in addition to being responsible for security, also had to catch cats for him to put in the manor. When the news of the Baltic Sea Navy's annihilation in the Russo-Japanese Naval War came, Nicholas II picked up a shotgun to shoot cats without any expression on his face. This had always been seen as a manifestation of his thoughtlessness, but in fact, it was a way for him to relieve his anxiety.
Even such a big shot was like this. More and more ordinary people at the bottom of society chose to abuse cats to vent their emotions in the modern society where the pressure was rapidly increasing.
The recent cat abuse incident happened to coincide with the revival of the Holy Cat Statue, or it could be said that it was the cat abuse incident that caused the Holy Cat Statue to revive.
If left alone, the Holy Cat Statue would absorb too much power of faith, and after it became an elfin, it could cause a lot of trouble.
The top priority was to first find the Holy Cat Statue, then think of a way to dissuade the cat abusers, and finally find a safe way to seal or destroy the Holy Cat Statue.
It was already very difficult to find the Holy Cat Statue, and the last two were even more clueless. Social condemnation was useless, and there was no way to use legal weapons. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Old Time Tea pondered for a while. "If that's the case, how about I accompany you? I haven't been out recently, so I can take this opportunity to stretch my muscles. "
"Of course, if Grandpa Tea is willing to go, I can't ask for more." Zhang Zian nodded.
If he was alone, he was indeed a little weak. If he had the help of Old Time Tea, once he encountered cat abusers, even if he couldn't persuade them, he could beat them into submission …
"Then I'll go too." Famous stood up and shook its fur. "The shop is full of the smell of cosmetics. My nose is about to explode. I want to breathe some fresh air."
It was surrounded by curious fans all day for photos, and its fur was covered with all kinds of foundation and sunscreen, as well as the smell of high, medium, and low-end perfumes.
Of course, it was good to have Famous's help. It would be very convenient to track them.
"Famous, do you still remember the smell of the Holy Cat Statue?" Zhang Zian asked.
Famous walked to the door of the shop, sniffed near the shallow white mark on the floor, and thought hard for a while. "Almost. Although it's been a long time, there shouldn't be many bronze products in this modern city, right?"
"Not many, very few," Zhang Zian said with a smile. "There are almost no places in modern society that use bronze in large quantities. The most concentrated places of bronze should be museums or handicraft shops."
"That's good." Famous nodded.
Fina jumped off the cat tree. "I'm going too."
It and the Evil God represented by the Holy Cat Statue had been at odds since ancient times. Of course, it wouldn't sit idly by.
"Meow meow meow! Your Majesty! The night is short. While they're out, we can lick each other's fur … "Snowy Lionet hurriedly dissuaded it.
"You'd better stay in the shop." Zhang Zian refused.
"Why?" Fina's face was stiff, and the corners of its eyes were cold. "Are you looking down on me?"
"No, if we all go out, who's going to stay in the shop? If something happens to your sacred palace, wouldn't it be a loss of face for your Great Cat Kingdom? "Zhang Zian said.
Fina believed him. "That sounds reasonable."
