Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 12 Little Blue

Chen Nian is quite adept at finding cats.

In order to get the four cats in the neighborhood spayed and neutered, he had to outsmart them quite a bit, searching almost every place in the neighborhood where they could hide.

Chen Nian knew of five people who could take shelter from the rain.

However, because of the torrential rain, the rain curtain has also covered the light of the streetlights in the community, greatly reducing the visibility in the community and making it much more difficult for Chen Nian to search. In some corners, almost nothing can be seen.

After a brief moment of thought, Chen Nian decided to conduct a roundabout search.

The residential area is not very large.

If you go around twice, you can search all the places.

Fortunately, the cat doesn't run around when it rains heavily; it just stays in one place and waits for the rain to stop, which reduces the chances of Chen Nian missing it.

First, there's the gazebo in the residential area.

A square Chinese-style pavilion.

It's a popular spot for elderly people and children in the neighborhood to cool off and play. The upturned eaves provide excellent rain protection.

This also became one of the best places for cats to take shelter from the rain.

Pat pat pat——

When Chen Nian, wearing a raincoat and holding a flashlight, came to the outside of the pavilion and shone it inside, she saw the backs of the F4 from the neighborhood.

Four cats were sitting in a row on the chairs in the gazebo, their paws tucked together as they looked out into the rain.

His eyes were half-closed with sleep, and his expression was indifferent.

It's as if they aren't cats seeking shelter from the rain, but rather literati enjoying the rain in a pavilion, ready to compose a beautiful poem at any moment.

Meow?
Sensing the beam of the flashlight, all four cats turned around at the same time, their expressions perfectly synchronized.

Chen Nian was left both amused and exasperated.

"You four are having such a leisurely time."

Meow meow!

Recognizing Chen Nian's voice, Sanhua tried to get up and walk towards him, but Chen Nian stopped her.

"I have other things to do, you guys enjoy the rain first."

After confirming that there were no strange cats there, Chen Nian quickly turned around and headed to the next location.

Meow
Watching Chen Nian's figure disappear into the rain, Sanhua squatted down, licked her paws, and a few strands of blue-tipped fur drifted down from the tips of her paws.

None of the cats in F4 have blue fur.

"Not here either."

After carefully searching the third location, Chen Nian still couldn't find a trace of the cat.

The rain is still falling.

Time passed slowly, and Chen Nian dared not delay, continuing to walk towards the next location.

At the same time, he didn't forget to use his flashlight to scan the surrounding area for any possible hiding places for the cat.

The originally bright lights became dim in the rain.

"Where exactly is it?"

"Damn, how come I never realized this neighborhood was this big before!"

Rainwater has accumulated on the ground, forming small streams that flow towards the sewers.

The fourth location.

still none!

An hour had passed, and Chen Nian's originally calm mind began to grow anxious.

calm down.

The rain pattered against her raincoat. Chen Nian wiped the rain off her face and set off for the last destination, once again slowing her pace so as not to miss any detail.

crackling and popping—

Raindrops pattered on banana leaves, fell into puddles, and seeped into the damp earth.

The whole world seemed to be enveloped in heavy rain.

All Chen Nian could hear was the sound of rain, and his steps were as slow as could be.

Even the raincoat couldn't keep out the heavy rain. If this continued, Chen Nian herself might catch a cold first!
The hand holding the flashlight was now ice-cold.

Chen Nian continued to push her hearing and vision to the limit!
He didn't plan to go back. Because there was a cat waiting for him.

Based on the side quest description, it can be inferred that the cat is most likely injured, and if the cat cannot be found within two hours, it will almost certainly die!

Chen Nian wanted to try again.

The heavy rain continued.

The weather forecast says the rain will continue until tomorrow morning, which would be a devastating blow to any injured furry friend!
Countless cats and dogs have died because of this.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian became even more anxious.

"Mimi!"

He couldn't help but call out.

Call out twice, then stop and listen carefully to see if there is a response nearby.

One lap, two laps.

With only half an hour left, Chen Nian had already walked around the neighborhood twice, and the flashlight in her hand had become dim and was almost out of power.

"Damn it, it always messes up at the crucial moment!"

Chen Nian patted the flashlight in her hand, trying to use this method to activate the other party's battery.

*Smack! Smack!*
Because of her anxiety, Chen Nian patted the bushes loudly, attracting the attention of a small animal.

Meow?
Chen Nian's movements stopped instantly.

If he wasn't mistaken, that sound just now was a cat's meow!
Chen Nian quickly looked around.

The only place nearby where a cat could hide was in the dense bushes.

He suppressed his racing heart, crouched down, and scanned his surroundings in the dim light, not missing a single abnormality, while also making soft moaning sounds.

Breast?

The voice was a little hoarse.

But in the end, they received a faint response.

Meow.
brush!
Chen Nian swept her flashlight across the area and pinpointed the source of the sound.

A small, thin blue cat appeared at the end of the light source.

The dim light did not cause its pupils to contract; instead, they remained round and black, staring at Chen Nian with curiosity and weakness.

"Finally found it!"

Chen Nian breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Once we find it, things will be much easier. All that's left is to capture it and treat its wounds.

"Mimi."

Chen Nian cautiously approached the blue cat while making sounds to soothe it.

Whether it was because he was too weak or because of the intimacy with the cat, the blue cat remained motionless in place until Chen Nian lifted it from under his arm and sheltered it under his raincoat, without much reaction.

It just kept meowing softly and weakly.

Best's Eye activated.

Breed: Blue Cat
Weight: 8 pounds

Physical condition: Poor, very weak, hungry, scratches on the forehead, the wounds are already infected and need to be treated as soon as possible.

Chen Nian carefully parted the blue cat's forehead, revealing three purplish wounds beneath its thick fur, clearly marks left by other cats.

This made Chen Nian's heart tighten.

If it's not treated quickly, the inflamed wound could be fatal to this skinny blue cat!
The problem was that Chen Nian didn't have anything at home to treat her wounds, and the pet hospital was already closed.

what can we do about it!

The flashlight was tossed aside, and the beam of hope grew weaker and weaker, while the blue cat in his arms trembled uncontrollably.

Da da da--

In this brief moment of hesitation, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, stepping on the last glimmer of light, bringing hope to Chen Nian!

"Little Blue Boy!"

An anxious female voice came from behind Chen Nian, and Chen Nian turned around to look.

Through the rain, my gaze immediately fell on the bag at the newcomer's waist.

It's a pet first aid kit!
Saved!
