There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Chapter 107 Sparrow Brother

The village looked very dilapidated.

Most of the houses had been bulldozed, leaving only ruins and rubble everywhere, with choking dust filling the air.

Xu Yi got out of the car and stretched out a big yawn.

She was wearing a crop top and jeans today, and with her movements, her flat, snow-white stomach was exposed to the air.

Lu Fang only glanced at it before quickly looking away.

"I don't see any dogs anywhere." She looked left and right, but couldn't find Da Bao anywhere.

The mainland side was also somewhat perplexed.

This village is neither too big nor too small; if you were to investigate it place by place, it would take at least half a day.

"What's that?" Xu Yi put her hand on her forehead, squinted, and pointed to a small black dot high in the sky.

"Why are sparrows circling around here? Aren't eagles the ones that usually circle?"

sparrow!

As if struck by lightning, Lu Fang looked up at the tiny figure high in the sky.

Sparrow knows everything!

Why call him "Sparrow Know-It-All"? Call him "Sparrow Bro"!

Seemingly sensing Lu Fang's gaze, Brother Sparrow executed a stylish Cobra maneuver and then flew off in a certain direction, clearly guiding him.

Bemyeyes, Senu!

Lu Fang silently recited a phrase in his mind and followed the direction indicated by Brother Que.

"Brother Fang, he's over there!"

Xu Yi pointed to a pile of earthen walls in the distance that had not yet completely collapsed. Under a heavy, tilted cement slab, Da Bao was lying in the mud. It was much thinner than in the photo. Its once smooth fur was covered with dust and mud, and there were even a few bloody scratches from thorns.

Lu Fang jogged over, taking two steps at a time.

Da Bao was panting heavily, staring at Lu Fang running towards him, showing no intention of avoiding him.

It was exhausted; the 30-kilometer journey had almost completely drained the old dog's strength. Its tongue was hanging out, and its two front paws were covered in blood and gore.

"Dabao, let's go home."

Lu Fang spoke softly, trying to pick up Da Bao, but it showed no intention of leaving, stubbornly lying in place.

After resting for a while and gathering some strength, Da Bao stood up and kept digging at the soil beneath him with his two front paws.

I don't know how long it dug, but a small pit had already appeared on the ground.

"It looks like it's digging in the dirt," Xu Yi said, leaning closer.

"So it drove over 30 kilometers from Yanling City to this tiny village just to dig up dirt?" Lu Fang said irritably. "Probably looking for something."

"Something very important."

Because Xu Yi came along, Lu Fang didn't bring the police chief with him, so he can't ask Da Bao about his true intentions now.

"It seems it won't leave unless we dig it out." Upon hearing Lu Fang say this, Xu Yi immediately squatted down and rolled up her sleeves.

"What are you doing?" Lu Fang's eyes widened, somewhat confused about what this little girl was up to.

"Of course we'll help! Once we find the things, Da Bao should come back with us, right?" Xu Yi blinked, looking every bit the silly beauty.

"The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools."

Lu Fang looked at Da Bao, then at Xu Yi, and patted her head: "Wait here for me for a while."

"Aww." Xu Yi nodded obediently.

A short while later, Lu Fang returned, followed by an excavator.

It was the same vehicle they saw when they first entered the village.

Lu Fang successfully bribed his master to come and help him with a pack of cigarettes.

"Is this the place?" The driver, speaking in a thick dialect, leaned halfway out of the driver's seat.

"This is troublesome!" Lu Fang picked up Da Bao and pointed to the small hole it had dug.

Seemingly knowing what Lu Fang was going to do, Da Bao didn't struggle, his eyes fixed on the pit.

With a rumble of machinery starting up, the excavator's massive shovel easily sank into the soil under mechanical drive.

As the shovel turned, a large chunk of soil was shoveled out and dumped on the ground to the side.

Upon seeing this, Da Bao jumped down from Lu Fang's arms and rushed into the mound of earth, sniffing incessantly as he searched through the soil.

A moment later, it squatted down in front of Lu Fang with a small, old-fashioned peach wood comb in its mouth, its tail wagging incessantly.

"It seems this is what it's been searching for, traveling over thirty kilometers." Lu Fang took the peach wood comb and rubbed its mud-covered head.

"You traveled all this way just for a comb?" Xu Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"No matter what, Da Bao has been found, and Grandma Tang should be relieved. As for the origin of this comb, I believe Grandma Tang will be able to answer that for us."

After helping Da Bao into the back seat of the Mercedes, Lu Fang drove back to Yanling City.

Grandma Tang was already waiting at Ark Pet Hospital.

As soon as she received Lu Fang's call, she asked her son to bring her over quickly. She stood at the shop entrance, constantly looking outside, while her son sat in the rest area, his phone ringing incessantly, seemingly busy with official business.

"Grandma Tang, we've found Da Bao!"

As soon as the car came to a stop, Lu Fang carried Da Bao into the Ark Pet Hospital.

When Grandma Tang saw Da Bao in Lu Fang's arms, she burst into tears: "Da Bao, my Da Bao, where have you been? You've made me worry for so long, you naughty dog!"

She cursed as she hit Da Bao on the back.

No matter how fiercely they cursed, they didn't have much strength in their hands, so when a slap landed on their body, it turned into a caress.

"This is from Da Bao." Xu Yi stepped forward and handed the comb to Grandma Tang.

Upon seeing the antique-style peach wood comb, Grandma Tang was stunned. Large tears rolled down her cheeks, and she burst into tears.

Behind her, when Grandma Tang's son, Zhao Yu, saw the peach wood comb clearly, he also froze on the spot.

"Isn't this the peach wood comb my dad made for my mom? Wasn't it lost? How did you find it?"

"We didn't find it, it was this thing." Lu Fang gestured towards Da Bao with his chin: "We found it in a village that was being demolished. It was looking for this comb back then."

Zhao Yu looked at Da Bao with a complicated expression.

"That should be where my mother used to live. The village was demolished, and I was a little worried about her, so I brought her to the city."

""

"I lost the comb around that time. My mom kept nagging about it, but I was too busy and didn't think it would be easy to find, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"I never expected it to be found."

"I guess it's because it lives with my mom every day and keeps talking about it, so it thought that finding it would make my mom feel better."

"7

"This dog is so intelligent." Xu Yi, who was listening from the side, had tears in her eyes and couldn't help but rub Da Bao's head.

Lu Fang stood aside, feeling somewhat emotional, but he still had a question on his mind.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm actually a little curious. Beagles aren't really suitable for elderly people. How did you come up with the idea of ​​having an elderly person keep one?"
