Chapter 1684: Call
The area of the pet shop is not too small, the environment on the first floor is complicated, there are many shelves and display cabinets, and every inch of space is used as much as possible. This is not a disadvantage in normal times, but after a power outage, it is very difficult for candles and emergency lights to shine. It was dim, and there were shadows everywhere, and the vision was not good.
Thunder, rain, and wind were too loud, and the elves couldn't sleep even if they wanted to, yawning boredly.
Kittens and puppies are very sensitive to the sound of thunder one after another, and they are often shocked by the sound of thunder.
Zhang Zian walked around the first floor carefully with a flashlight, and then went up to the second floor to search. The suspicion in his heart was confirmed - all the other elves were there, only Vladimir was missing.
Vladimir's wound has basically healed, and there is no need to tie bandages anymore, but his body has not yet returned to the previous state of vigor and vitality, so Zhang Zian asked him to shorten the time of going out as much as possible, and wait until his body is healed. It's the capital of that.
The clerks were not there in the morning, and he was busy dealing with customers. He had seen Vladimir in his memory. It should have stayed in the store in the morning. Later, because of the sudden arrival of the typhoon and Xu Zhuangzhuang's episode, he had no time to take care of him, but if it never Leave the door on the first floor, he should see it.
"π, have you seen Vladimir?" He asked π who had been staying on the second floor.
"Squeak."
π nodded, pointed to the window, and made gestures, which meant that it saw π jumped out of the window and ran out, just when news of the typhoon came suddenly.
Zhang Zian understood that Vladimir might have helped the stray cats take refuge, and he couldn't bear to stay in a safe place by himself and let the stray cats fend for themselves, this was indeed his style.
The matter has come to this point, he has no other way, it is not realistic to go out to find it in such bad weather, the storm wiped out all the smells and footprints, there is no way to track, and he believes that Vladimir can take care of himself, dare to fight against the world. Christians do not fear the storm.
Not only Vladimir and the stray cats, but Xiaobai and the stray dogs must also be trying to survive the typhoon at this time. Unfortunately, there is nothing he can do to help them. We can only wish them luck.
He went back to the first floor again, where Wang Gan and Li Kun were still planning to play mahjong, while Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei were swiping their phones.
The speed of the mobile phone network is very bad. If you play games, you will definitely be scolded by your teammates and will be dropped. The Internet is barely okay, and it may be disconnected after a while.
"Master, where's mahjong? You don't even have mahjong at home, do you? It's so boring and you can't even play games. Let's play mahjong together!" Wang Qian and Li Kun said.
Zhang Zian was not in that mood, "Go ahead and play, I still have something to do."
"Forget it, I don't know how to play." Lu Yiyun waved his hand.
Jiang Feifei didn't refuse, but the three of them couldn't play, and now they don't even have mahjong.
Wang Qian and Li Kun kept entangled, "What else do you have to do in such a horrible weather? You should help us find mahjong first!"
π no longer needs to use his mobile phone as a hotspot to surf the Internet. He came down from the second floor just now, took off his mobile phone, waved for them to shut up, and said to Little Celery, "Little Celery, what is your mother's phone number? You Do you remember?"
Little Celery nodded. Although she didn't have a cell phone, her mother asked her to recite her cell phone number in case she needed to call for anything.
"Call your mother and tell her you are here." Zhang Zian opened the dial page, "I'll help you dial."
Little Celery told her the phone number, and after he dialed the number, he held up the phone and put it next to her face.
beep beep——
The other party's phone rang a few times and was connected.
"Hello? Who are you looking for?"
A strange female voice panted, her voice seemed restless and impolite, probably because the calling number was unfamiliar and she thought it was a wrong number.
The environment on the other side of the phone is very noisy, obviously it is outdoors, and the rumbling thunder can be heard even on this side of the phone.
Zhang Zian estimated that after she heard the phone ringing,
I found a place to shelter from the rain before answering the phone, in case the phone got flooded and malfunctioned, and maybe I hesitated whether to answer this strange call.
"Mom!" Little Celery said loudly, "I..."
As soon as the conversation started, the other person almost screamed: "Little Celery! Where did you go? I'm so anxious!"
Little Celery was so frightened by her mother's tone that she couldn't speak, and the more she couldn't speak, the more anxious her mother became.
"You are talking! Where are you?"
"Hello?" Zhang Zian put the phone to his ear, "Hello, this is Xiao...Cai Xiaoqin's mother, right? Your daughter is hiding from the typhoon with me. Don't worry, she's fine and didn't get hurt at all. If it's convenient for you, you can come and pick her up, but if the weather is too bad, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other party interrupted: "I'll go there right away, where are you?"
Zhang Zian reported his address and persuaded him, "Don't force yourself. Cai Xiaoqin is safe here. I suggest you wait for the storm to pass before coming back. It's too dangerous to be outdoors now. In case you get hurt..."
Little Celery also said loudly worriedly: "Mom! I'm fine. There are several older brothers and sisters with me here. You don't have to come here in a hurry..."
"Needless to say, I'll be there right away! Little Celery, don't go anywhere, just wait there obediently!" The other party hung up the phone.
"I'm sorry, my mother is not like this..." Little Celery apologized pitifully.
"I know, it's okay."
The other party's tone was rude and irritable, but Zhang Zian could fully understand the other party's mood, pity the world's parents, his young daughter stayed in such a bad weather with a few strangers in a strange place to seek refuge, which mother would not in a hurry? The more anxious she was, the more she cared about Little Celery's safety.
It was out of good intentions that he persuaded her not to come over for the time being, because it was too dangerous to act outdoors in such weather, maybe Little Celery was safe and she was injured instead, so it wouldn't be worth it.
She rejected his kindness, and chose the former between her daughter's safety and her own safety. She would not feel relieved if she had not witnessed Xiao Celery's situation with her own eyes.
Perhaps it would be a better choice to call her after the storm subsides to ensure the safety of both parties, but by then she might be insane. After weighing things up, Zhang Zian decided to call her now and leave the choice to her. give her.
She was eager to see Xiao Celery and didn't give him enough time to explain. Even if he called again, she probably wouldn't answer it, and answering the phone in thunderstorm weather was still dangerous.
There is no way, now we can only wait.
