start with a pet store

Chapter 1060 Brother Pao
Lu Jingxing just finished his work and came over: "Shall we go?"

"Ah, go, go, go, I was almost scared to death by this kid..." Sun Chongwu hurriedly walked out of the store.

"Scared? How?" Lu Jingxing thought about it but couldn't figure out what could scare him.

"Brother Lu, I brought Brother Chongwu to see the little snakes I hatched. I was just talking about it with great interest, but I didn't expect Brother Chongwu to be so scared. I knew he was afraid of snakes." Sun Xing laughed.

After hearing this, although Lu Jingxing felt that this seemed a bit dangerous, looking at Sun Chongwu's appearance, he did find it a bit amusing.

He had never thought that Sun Chongwu, such a big and strong man, would be afraid of snakes?

However, this is understandable, as some people are particularly afraid of a certain creature.

Just like some people may not feel anything when seeing a big rat at home, they just pick up any handy object and hit it, beating the rat half to death without changing their expression at all.

But if he turns around and sees a cockroach the size of a fingernail, he might be scared out of his wits.

There is no reason, it's just fear.

This may be the reason why Sun Chongwu did this.

"Okay, since there is a situation like this with Brother Sun, you should be more careful in the future. It's okay for Brother Sun, but if it were another customer, I think you, if you are still laughing, you might get beaten up and you won't know what's going on." Lu Jingxing hit Sun Xing with a stick.

Sun Xing was half a head shorter than him, and was hit by the stick. He cried out: "You can't blame me for this. Brother Chongwu himself didn't know about this. How do you think I know about it?"

Sun Chongwu also laughed: "Yes, I can't blame him, it's my own problem..."

"Do you have any plans for tonight? Do you want to accompany your wife?" Lu Jingxing suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Sun Xing was suddenly asked, and before he could react, he shook his head instinctively: "No, she's on duty tonight..."

"Then pack up and go together after get off work. Ask for leave from your wife and go have dinner with us." Lu Jingxing said when he saw that Sun Xing and Sun Chongwu seemed to have a very good relationship.

"Okay, okay. I'm just worried about having no place to eat..." He turned around and said to Xiaolan and Xiaomei in the store, "Two beautiful sisters, I'm off work now. Call me if you have anything."

Xiaolan and Xiaomei poked their heads out and responded with a smile, "Okay, no problem."

Although Sun Xing got married a while ago, he did not delay his own affairs.

Moreover, he is also very hardworking and will never slack off as long as he is in the store. Xiaolan and Xiaomei also have very good personalities, so, although there are three people running the reptile shop, they get along very well. They have no complaints about him leaving first after get off work.

What's more, it was Lu Jingxing who spoke up, so it was even less likely that they would have any objections.

"I didn't ask you to leave without packing up." Lu Jingxing glared at him.

He treated Sun Xing like his younger brothers, and there was no sense of superior-subordinate relationship at all.

Sun Xingren is smart and doesn't beat around the bush with his words. Lu Jingxing really likes him, especially after he came from the front desk to the reptile pet department. He has been able to use his strengths and is now even more pleasant to get along with than before.

Sun Xing stuck out his tongue mischievously: "Didn't you tell me to ask for leave first? It's not formal enough if I don't call. I'll go ask for leave in person now. You guys wait for me outside. I'll be there soon."

After saying this, without waiting for Lu Jingxing and Sun Chongwu to react, he turned around and ran away quickly.

Sun Chongwu smiled and shook his head: "Don't spoil him, this guy is getting more and more outrageous."

"Hey, from the sound of your voice, it seems like you are very familiar with him?" Lu Jingxing asked curiously.

"I used to be their instructor when he was in school. That was many years ago. Later, he recognized me in the store, and we contacted each other more often. However, this kid has a good personality and is smart. He should be a good choice if you take him under your wing." Sun Chongwu recommended him without any hesitation.

Lu Jingxing laughed when he heard this: "Okay, I will definitely take good care of her. This is someone you like, haha..."

"Although I said so, you have to figure out for yourself how to use it specifically. I just think that he should be a good person at heart, but I'm not sure about the details. Don't make things difficult for yourself because of me," Sun Chongwu added quickly.

"How could that happen? I've always been optimistic about him. I won't say anything about him, lest that kid hears about it and gets so angry that his tail is sticking up in the sky..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and soon they arrived at the car in front of the store.

After waiting for less than two minutes, Sun Xing came running over with an excited look on his face: "Let's go, where are we going?"

"Get in the car first and go pick up Doctor Yang..." Lu Jingxing opened the car door and got in first.

The two of them followed closely behind.

Yang Pei had already received Lu Jingxing's call and was standing at the door waiting for him.

Lu Yin also has to go to work tonight, so this dinner becomes a dinner for the four men.

However, he promised to bring food for Lu Yin when he returned, so he must not get drunk and forget about it.

Seeing the car coming, he opened the door and said, "Brother Lu, remember to save a copy for Lu Yin later. I promised her."

"Brother Xiao Yang..." Sun Xing greeted with a smile.

"Sun Xing, don't you want to accompany your wife?" Yang Pei asked in a teasing tone.

"Hehe, same to you..." Sun Xing smiled.

Everyone in the car started laughing.

The car soon arrived at the door of Uncle Yang's store.

"Here, here..." Uncle Yang was waving from afar.

Lu Jingxing quickly rolled down the car window and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Yang..."

"Hey, come, park here. I specially reserved a parking space for you..." As he said that, Uncle Yang trotted a few steps, took away a sign on the parking space, and guided Lu Jingxing to drive the car in.

After everyone got out of the car, Lu Jingxing thanked Uncle Yang.

"Hey, why are you being polite? You come here to take care of our business, and you're still being polite to me... I've prepared everything. I've reserved a private room. You can go and sit down. The food will be served soon." Uncle Yang walked with a light gait and a loud voice. It seemed that he was in a good mood during this period.

After everyone sat down, Lu Jingxing looked at Uncle Yang, whose smile was about to overflow from his face, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, I remember you said last time that you were going back to your hometown?" "Haha, not for the time being. My daughter-in-law is pregnant with a baby, a girl. Our family has been a single-son family for three generations, all boys. Finally, we have a girl. Your aunt is taking her back, and I will go to look after the store with my son." The old man didn't feel tired at all, he just felt happy.

He used to envy others for having baby girls, but after he and his wife gave birth to a son, they never got pregnant again.

So, he was particularly fond of Ji Ling when he saw her at that time. Now that he heard that she would soon have a granddaughter, he would wake up laughing several times at night.

"Congratulations, your dream has come true." Several people congratulated him.

"That's right...haha...uncle will treat you guys to dinner tonight, eat as much as you want, uncle is happy, haha..." Uncle Yang waved his hand and said arrogantly.

"Haha, that's great..." Lu Jingxing also laughed. At their age, they didn't quite understand Uncle Yang's feelings, but seeing Uncle Yang's happy look, he also felt happy.

Several people ordered a lot of dishes, and Uncle Yang happily took the menu and went out.

Yang Pei went to fetch a few bottles of wine.

A few people started drinking it with peanuts.

After taking a few sips, Sun Chongwu turned the topic to Wangwang.

"Do you think Wangwang's little hind legs are really hopeless?" he said somewhat unwillingly.

"Not necessarily. He is being treated conservatively now. The situation is just not very optimistic, but it's not completely hopeless. Let's wait and see how things develop in the next two days." Lu Jingxing didn't drink and took a bottle of Red Bull.

Yang Pei looked displeased, snatched his Red Bull away, and handed him a bottle of beer: "Don't drink Red Bull, that's for girls. We're not going to drink white wine today, so just this one, okay?"

Lu Jingxing looked at him with amusement: "You have a few people drinking with you, why do you have to bring me along? Besides, you drove here, so you have to leave one person to drive back later."

"Then I won't drink it. Let me open it..." Sun Xing said in a neither loud nor soft voice.

"Go away, drink your wine at ease. There's already one person who doesn't want to drink. If you still don't want to drink, just don't drink. What's the problem with driving? Designated driver is so convenient now... Come on, let's have a drink together, for... well... because Chongwu hasn't been together for a long time... Cheers..." There was really nothing good to do, so just find this excuse. Yang Pei laughed foolishly.

Lu Jingxing was no longer awkward. He listened to him, opened his beer and clinked glasses with them.

Uncle Yang brought in a few cold dishes and a dozen grilled lamb skewers: "This is our new cold dish, the response is pretty good, you can try it first, the other barbecues will have to wait a while."

"Okay, it's okay, you go ahead and do your thing, we're not in a hurry." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Hey, okay..." Uncle Yang said and walked out.

After finishing a cup, Yang Pei pulled Sun Chongwu aside and asked curiously, "Brother Chongwu, why do I feel that you have done so many rescues, but this time it seems that you are doing something special for Wangwang?"

After hearing what Yang Pei said, Sun Chongwu stared at the cup in a daze, his eyes a little confused.

"What's wrong, Brother Chongwu?" Yang Pei noticed that his expression was not right.

Seeing this, Lu Jingxing also put down his chopsticks and looked at Sun Chongwu with a hint of doubt.

Sun Chongwu picked up the glass and took a sip of wine, then he let out a long sigh: "Nothing, I just remembered the dog I had before."

Lu Jingxing asked: "The dog that can accompany Brother Chongwu, I guess it's a German Shepherd or a Labrador."

Sun Chongwu smiled bitterly: "As expected of an expert, your guess is correct. It is indeed a Labrador."

Sun Chongwu took out his cell phone, flipped through the photos, and put it on the table.

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei went over to see that Sun Chongwu and a Labrador were standing in front of a large rock with three words written on it - "Lop Nur"

"Lop Nur?" Lu Jingxing noticed it and asked, "Brother Chongwu, have you ever been to such a dangerous place?"

Sun Chongwu poured wine into his glass and said, "Where do you think I got my rescue experience? I have been to almost all those dangerous places. I have also participated in rescue operations in several major earthquakes before, and this kid always accompanied me."

He pointed at the Labrador and said, "Its name is Pao Ge. I bought it from a dog meat dealer. After I bought it, I saw that it was smart, so I taught it how to rescue and how to hunt. It basically knows everything."

Yang Pei put a skewer in Sun Chongwu's bowl: "What's next?" Yang Pei asked.

Sun Chongwu picked up the skewer with a bit of indignation and took a bite: "It was killed by a group of people."

Lu Jingxing and Yang Pei remained silent, and Sun Xing was even quieter. They all waited tacitly until Sun Chongwu spoke again.

It was a forest rescue.

Several hikers made an appointment to go out on an adventure and wanted to pass through a deep mountain.

Although there were experienced travelers among the group, man proposes, God disposes. It rained heavily that night and the group hid in a cave. But who would have thought that the cave was connected to a natural reservoir on the mountain. As the cave was slowly flooded with water, the group was forced to stay in the rain all night. All their equipment was almost out of order, and a lot of food was lost because of the water.

In order to find a place to rest in the morning, several people looked for a place to rest, but they were spotted by wild boars. They had to take the remaining food to attract the wild boars, and thus they were in a desperate situation.

Fortunately, the satellite phone worked, and several people contacted the satellite, and rescue teams were immediately sent to rescue them.

At that time, the helicopter was busy fighting wildfires in other places and had been dispatched, so a four-person rescue team consisting of Sun Chongwu and others went in to look for people. As usual, Sun Chongwu brought his dog with him to find them faster.

But there are always people who don't follow the rules and don't listen to other people's suggestions. Two self-righteous boys completely forgot what they said on the phone to wait nearby and found a place to rest privately, which resulted in one less person in the first search and rescue. People were more or less unclear in their minds under this torture, and when the group was halfway back, someone pointed out that someone had fallen behind.

Sun Chongwu discussed with his teammates and decided to go in and rescue the people first, and let the other teammates take them out. After all, with Brother Pao by his side, his efficiency might be higher. Besides, these people were not in good spirits, so he asked his teammates to come back and pick him up later.

Following the clothes left behind, Brother Pao decisively took Sun Chongwu to look for people. He followed Brother Pao for a while and came to a big tree with a stream beside it. It looked like a good camping site.

But Sun Chongwu's intuition told him that it would not be that simple. If there was a place in the wild that was suitable for humans, it was also suitable for other animals. There were always hunters in the deep mountains. If Sun Chongwu himself decided where the trap should be placed, this place would undoubtedly be the best choice.

So Sun Chongwu began to shout, hoping to find the missing people through the sound.

Fortunately, there was a response from ten meters behind the tree, and there was someone there.

Sun Chongwu and Pao Ge moved slowly and carefully towards them. After parting the grass, they saw two people sitting on the ground leaning against each other. Sun Chongwu slowly moved to their side and handed them food and water.

The two of them started eating without hesitation. Sun Chongwu advised them to eat slowly. He asked Brother Pao to watch them while he went to check the situation around them.
