I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Chapter 180 Big Black? A Gift? Human Bones?

Do you like to eat fruit? Vegetables? Or insects?

Nan Shu keenly noticed that Tie Lianhua's tail twitched after hearing the word 'fruit'.

"Cherry? Passion fruit? Jackfruit?"

By the end, the feathers on its tail had all unfurled, and its little eyes looked at her before quickly looking away.

How about one of each of these?

A smile flickered in Nan Shu's eyes.

The iron lotus flower flapped its wings and flew into the air, eliciting a chorus of exclamations from the children.

Then it landed steadily in Xixi's hands.

"Then I'll reluctantly agree."

The iron lotus is incredibly proud.

Nan Shu chuckled softly.

The children looked at Xixi with envy in their eyes, but without permission, they dared not reach out to touch her, and could only watch longingly.

At this time.

A rustling sound came from the grass not far away.

Iron Lotus's feathers seemed to suddenly explode, and it flapped its wings, flying into Nan Shu's arms, both proud and timid.

Nan Shu was both amused and exasperated, but she still hugged it, soothing it with her fingertips, and looked at the flower bed not far away from where the sound had come from.

The flowerbed bushes were about knee-high to an adult, very dense. The branches and leaves trembled, and then a body pushed them open, and a dog that was completely black, even its eyes, crawled out from inside.

"Big Black! It's Big Black!"

"Don't be afraid, sister. Big Black is very well-behaved and won't bite."

"..."

The children were talking in a flurry.

Compared to the calm children, the adults not far away frowned when they saw the black dog appear.

The black dog had a bone in its mouth. It seemed to know that it was not welcomed by the adults, so it did not come forward. Most of its body was hidden in the bushes. It looked at Xixi.

Yes.

Nan Shu was certain that the black dog was looking at Xixi.

Xixi noticed the black dog's gaze, tilted her little head, and took a few steps forward.

"Xixi!"

An adult called her name and stepped forward, trying to stop her, but Xixi couldn't hear him and didn't stop walking.

Nan Shu could sense that the black dog had no ill intentions towards Xi Xi; in fact, the black dog's tail wagged when it saw Xi Xi approaching.

Just as Xixi was a meter away from the black dog, the black dog spat out what was in its mouth. It was a small piece of bone, the cross-section of which was not smooth and looked like a pig bone.

But Nan Shu knew perfectly well that it wasn't!

"Xixi!"

Nan Shu frowned deeply, took a few steps forward, covered the little girl's eyes, and hugged her in her arms.

Xu Yunli also noticed the abnormality and looked at Nan Punian. Nan Punian immediately understood and strode towards the parents. After saying a few words, the parents' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly stepped forward to pull their children back.

"Let's go! Let's go home for dinner."

"Grandma is calling us to eat. She's having prawns. If we don't go back soon, there won't be any left."

"..."

The woman who had tried to stop Xixi was Xixi's neighbor. Seeing Nan Shu holding Xixi, she hesitated and said, "Xixi, she..."

Nan Shu didn't let go of the little girl's eyes, and turned around to say, "We'll take Xixi to the shop later. Thank you for taking care of Xixi."

"No, no, they're all neighbors."

The woman waved her hand hastily, "Then we'll head back first." As she spoke, she glanced at the big black dog again, and upon seeing the bone, she quickly looked away, grabbed her child, and practically fled.

Xixi's eyes were covered, and her long eyelashes, like little brushes, brushed against Nan Shu's palm, making it tickle.

Xu Yunli stepped forward.

When the big black dog saw him, smelled the unfamiliar scent, and saw him trying to touch the gift it had given to Xixi, it let out a low growl.

"Forensic Doctor Xu."

Nan Shu placed Xi Xi into Nan Punian's arms and spoke up to stop him.

The toddler, who was about half a year old, was soft and well-behaved, not making a fuss, and even hugged Nan Punian's neck.

Nan Punian's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had turned to stone, unable to move or remain still.

Nan Shu quickly walked up to Xu Yunli.

They stood between the person and the dog.

"He didn't mean to steal the gift you gave to Xixi."

Nan Shu said.

The big black dog's growl paused, its eyes fixed on her, and it barked twice, "You can understand me?"

"Correct."

Nan Shu stepped forward, squatted down, and stretched out her hand. Just as her hand was about to land on the dog's head, the big black dog suddenly turned its head and dodged.

His dark eyes were filled with loneliness.

"dirty."

Because of its fur color and body size, it was abandoned by its owner when it was a puppy and wandered around the neighborhood. Everyone was afraid of it, saying that it was dirty, had bugs on its body, and would bite people.

So even if children want to play with it, their parents will stop them.

Only Xixi.

Xixi doesn't mind it and even brings it all sorts of delicious food.

Nan Shu was taken aback, her hand slipped and landed precisely on its big head, giving it a good rub. "It's okay, I'll wash my hands before eating."

Big Black Dog: ...

Do you know what this bone is?

Nan Shu asked it.

The big black dog shook its head. It had hardly ever eaten meat, but when it smelled this thing, it thought it smelled especially good, so good that its mouth would water involuntarily.

Its intuition told it that this was a good thing.

The big black dog wanted to eat, but it wanted to share with Xixi even more, because Xixi was the only person in the neighborhood who was kind to it.

"this…"

Nan Shu paused for a moment, then said, "It's human bone, the bone of a species like Xixi. Xixi will be frightened. My friend wants to have the bone examined further, so could you give it to us?"

Upon hearing that Xixi might be frightened, the big black dog's gaze towards the bone instantly changed, becoming utterly disgusted.

"Then take it away quickly, so as not to scare Xixi."

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay."

But then, thinking of the bone's owner, his smile froze on his face, and he continued to ask, "Can you tell me where you found it?"

The big black dog wagged its tail.

"You come with me."

As he spoke, the big black dog walked out of the bushes, and Nan Shu was able to see it clearly.

In stark contrast to its large head is its emaciated body. Its fur is long, but its ribs are still visible as it moves. Its left hind leg is also slightly crooked, making its gait very uncoordinated.

Nan Shu's brows furrowed deeply.

The big black dog didn't care at all. After taking a few steps, it stopped in surprise when it saw that Nan Shu hadn't followed. It turned its head and looked at Nan Shu with its dark eyes.

Aren't you going?

"go."

Nan Shu looked at Nan Punian, who nodded to her, indicating that she could go without worry and that he would take good care of Xixi.

Nan Shu then followed behind the big black dog. Tie Lianhua perched on Nan Shu's head, her small, beady eyes looking at the big black dog. She was no longer afraid; her eyes were filled with curiosity.

"how old are you?"

Nan Shu asked it.

"I think I was three years old, but I don't remember."

The big black dog had a mature voice, and occasionally people from the neighborhood would cast curious glances at this strange duo.

The big black dog remained unfazed, as if it had long been used to it.
