Chapter 48 Waiting for News from the Birds
The dog thief dragged Egg for a while before stopping the car and stuffing it into a sack.

Seeing this unfold, TuTu was extremely distressed. "YuanYuan, what do we do now?"

Just as Jiang Yuan was about to speak, a tall figure suddenly darted out.

"Did you steal my Ash?" The man wearing a hat and mask grabbed the green-haired man's collar and exclaimed excitedly, "Give me back Ash!"

"Are you fucking crazy?!" Green Hair cursed and shoved the man. "Let go! Don't pull my clothes!"

The little swallow flapped its wings and hovered above the electric car.

"Give Xiaozhi back to me!" Ning Jianian gripped Green Hair's collar tightly.

"Damn it!" Green Hair had no choice but to take off his clothes and start punching people.

Ning Jianian was clearly at a disadvantage. After dodging several times, he was accidentally kicked in the abdomen by Green Hair and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

"Damn it, you're asking for it!" Green Hair raised his foot viciously, the dirty, smelly sole aimed at Ning Jianian's face. "How dare you mess with me! You really don't know what's good for you!"

Ning Jianian's heart sank. If he were kicked in the face, the consequences would be unimaginable and might even affect the show the day after tomorrow.

He hurriedly raised his arm to cover his face.

However, the expected pain did not occur. Instead, a loud "bang" was heard, followed by a piercing scream.

Ning Jianian looked up in confusion, and a slender, tall figure came into his view. The girl was wearing a black coat, and her long, ink-black curly hair danced gently in the biting cold wind.

Green Hair was violently flung away by Jiang Yuan and crashed heavily not far away. His body was curled up like a mantis shrimp, his face contorted in pain, and he let out a painful howl.

His companion quickly drove the electric scooter next to Green Hair, glanced at Jiang Yuan warily, and helped Green Hair onto the scooter.

Xiao Moyan glanced at Jiang Yuan, and seeing her nod, she flew away with the moving electric car.

Ning Jianian stared blankly ahead, as if her soul had been ripped away: "My Xiao Zhi..."

"Is Xiaozhi your dog?" The girl's clear voice, carried by the cold wind, reached his ears.

Ning Jianian looked at her and nodded: "Yes, Xiaozhi has been with me for three years."

He stood up, his voice muffled, "Thank you for earlier."

Jiang Yuan met the boy's clear and innocent eyes and said slowly, "Don't be so impulsive next time."

“When I saw how they treated the puppy, and when I thought about how Zhi was also taken away so roughly by them, I couldn’t control myself…” Ning Jianian clenched her hands tightly at her sides, and an angry look appeared between her brows.

"This is outrageous! What kind of organization is this, and why are they stealing dogs?!"

Jiang Yuan pursed her lips and remained silent.

Dog thieves are either from dog fighting rings or dog meat vendors.

We'll find out when Xiao Moyan comes back.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yuan said calmly, "I'm leaving now."

"Wait a minute." Ning Jianian called out to her, her tone serious, "Give me a payment code, thank you for saving me just now."

"Forget about the payment code," Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, "but adding each other on WeChat would be a good idea."

If he's lucky, maybe his Ash Ketchum can come back.

Ning Jianian was taken aback by these words, a certain guess flashing through her mind, "You...do you know me?"

Even though he was all covered up, he was still recognized.
"Do I know you?" Jiang Yuan frowned her slender eyebrows. "Should I know you?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Ning Jianian dismissed her doubts. "I'll sweep you."

After exchanging WeChat contacts, Jiang Yuan rode her electric scooter home with TuTu.

Ning Jianian watched her figure disappear into the night, then succumbed to grief over the loss of her beloved pet, her eyes reddening as she murmured, "Xiao Zhi..."

"Damn it, where have you been?" Manager Liu had been standing in the cold wind at the entrance of the residential area for two hours. When he saw him come back, he rushed over immediately. "I called you but you didn't answer. I was so worried!" After saying that, he noticed that his white coat was covered in dust and there was a shoe print on his stomach. He was so scared that he almost lost his soul.

"Ancestor, what happened? You didn't get into a fight, did you? Does it hurt? Where are you hurt?"

Ning Jianian was bombarded with questions, which gave him a headache. He frowned, said "We'll talk about it when we get back," and strode into the residential area.

Brother Liu hurriedly followed behind.

When he got home, Brother Liu rushed to lift his shirt and saw a red patch on his abdomen. He felt so sorry for him that he wanted to cry: "Who kicked me? I'll go kill him!"

Ning Jianian twitched the corner of her mouth and answered irrelevantly, "I'm going to find Xiaozhi."

"You..." Brother Liu said helplessly, "Why did you go out to look for Xiao Zhi? Didn't I already tell you that I had called the police!"

"I can't wait." Ning Jianian covered her face with her hands, her voice filled with suppressed pain. "Xiao Zhi is so timid, it must be very scared right now."

Brother Liu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh deeply.

Jiang Yuan took a low stool and sat down next to Tu Tu, holding a cup of hot tea in her hands, the steam rising gently.

A person and a dog quietly gazed at the night view outside the balcony, listening to the howling wind and feeling the loneliness of the winter night.

Suddenly, TuTu sighed.

Jiang Yuan glanced at it and gently patted its head reassuringly.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Deng Rui came out to use the bathroom and saw her waiting on the balcony in the cold wind. She grabbed a coat and put it on her. "Silly girl, standing here in the wind!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Mom, I'm waiting for news."

Deng Rui gave her a look as if she were an idiot: "Can't you wait for news in bed? Why make TuTu stay up all night with you!"

Jiang Yuan said helplessly, "Let's wait for news from the birds."

Deng Rui: "..."

Okay, then it's definitely more appropriate to wait here.

Since discovering that her daughter can hear small animals talking, Deng Rui has felt that her daughter has changed more and more.

She didn't say anything, but glanced at the listless TuTu and asked softly, "TuTu, do you want to go to sleep first?"

TuTu immediately shook its head and barked, "Thank you, I'll wait here."

Deng Rui looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "Translate this for me."

Jiang Yuan: "TuTu said thank you for your concern, it will wait here."

"How polite," Deng Rui said with a smile. "Then you can wait here. I'm going to go to sleep now."

"Goodnight, Ms. Deng." Jiang Yuan winked at her.

Deng Rui glared at her reproachfully, "Go to sleep early."

The balcony has returned to quiet.

Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea, and suddenly sensed something; her dim eyes gradually brightened.

She stood up and looked at the dark night outside the balcony. A blue-black swallow, like a spirit, flapped its wings and flew towards her through the darkness.

Jiang Yuan reached out her hand, and the little black swallow slowly folded its wings and landed in her palm. "Yuan Yuan, the swallow is back!"

Tutu excitedly tilted her head back and stared at Xiao Moyan.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Yuan sat back down on the low stool and handed over the water and grains that had been prepared in advance.

Little Black Swallow took a few sips of water and began to describe the scene she had witnessed.
