"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Ye Yun stopped in place, Gu Yingying was confused and followed her gaze towards the direction of the smelly ditch.
She only saw an unknown man wandering by the smelly ditch, and without thinking much, she pulled Ye Yun and continued to walk forward, her voice adding a hint of coquettishness:
"Let's go, you said, if I make you happy, you will give me a kitten."
Her voice was clear and beautiful, especially penetrating in the quiet winter, which made the man next to the smelly ditch look in their direction when he heard the noise.
With a distance of about ten meters, the winter fog filled the air, and Ye Yun couldn't see clearly what the man's expression was.
But the man stepped on the snow mixed in the soil and walked towards them step by step.
Wearing a cotton hat that can protect his ears, a large black scarf, and black-rimmed glasses, his exposed cheeks were red from the cold, and his hands were clasped together, making people really feel how cold he was at this moment.
His breath filled the lenses, blurring them, and then quickly dissipated.
When Gu Yingying saw the man walking straight towards her and Ye Yun, she was so frightened that her whole body went into a state of vigilance.
"what are you doing!"
She pulled Ye Yun back two steps, exposing the two of them to the crowd's sight.
The man was also startled by her attitude. He quickly took out the hand hidden in his sleeve and waved eagerly:
"Girl, don't get me wrong, I just came to ask you something."
Gu Yingying didn't believe him easily. The environment she grew up in made her not let up at all when she should be vigilant. She pointed at the man and shouted sternly: "Just stand there and say, don't come near us!"
"Okay, okay..."
The man seemed to be afraid of scaring Gu Yingying, and stood there, not daring to take another step forward.
Seeing that he was cooperative, Gu Yingying softened her tone and said, "Tell me, is there anything you want to ask us?"
The man smiled sheepishly.
Then he looked at Ye Yun and said in a somewhat reserved tone: "I recognize you. You are the director of the nearby Lantian Garment Factory, right?"
Ye Yun said lightly: "Yeah."
She had witnessed the other person's behavior of abandoning the kitten and throwing the kitten into the smelly ditch last night. She felt an unspeakable disgust for this person from the bottom of her heart.
It's a pity that in this world, animals are cheap, and she can't use her own thoughts to judge others.
Seeing that the man actually talked to Ye Yun, Gu Yingying looked at Ye Yun suspiciously, "Do you know this person?"
Ye Yun shook her head.
The man quickly shook his head, twitched his lips, and smiled reluctantly: "No, no, how can I get a chance to meet Director Ye? I just want to ask Director Ye, did you pick up any food near the smelly ditch last night? What did you find, or did anyone in your factory pick up anything?"
Ye Yun chuckled, her voice slightly cold: "Did you lose something?"
The man's eyes were slightly dim.
He was quiet for two or three seconds, and then said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I threw a bag of things here last night."
"what?"
The man was speechless, "This..."
"Since it's something that was thrown away, why do you have to pick it up?" Seeing his hesitation, Ye Yun interrupted him and sneered with hidden sarcasm, "Is it possible that the bag you used to put things in is very precious, and the things you throw away Even if you throw away the poop, you still have to pick up a rag bag?"
The man was stunned when he heard this.
He quickly reacted, with a hint of urgency in his expression: "Director Ye said so, did you pick up that litter of kittens?"
Ye Yun's face was cold and she didn't answer.
Gu Yingying heard some clues and opened her mouth in surprise. She looked at Ye Yun and then at the man. She suddenly understood what was going on, and her face was suddenly filled with anger.
"Okay, you! It turns out you were the one who threw the kitten into the stinking ditch. You have a vicious heart!"
She rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards the man like a little firecracker.
Ye Yun grabbed her collar.
Gu Yingying was grabbed, waving her little fists, baring her teeth and claws, and shouted incompetently and furiously in the direction of the man:
"Conscienceless! Irresponsible! Dog man!"
I don't know where these words touched the man. His face turned slightly pale, and his expression became more at a loss.
Gu Yingying was still scolding, furious: "You threw them away and threw them into the smelly ditch. They are still so young in this winter, so you didn't leave any way for them to survive!"
"I curse you to be reincarnated as a cat or dog in your next life, and your mother will throw you into a stinking ditch as soon as you are born!"
Ye Yun, "..."
When Gu Yingying had scolded her enough, she waved her hand and lifted Gu Yingying behind her to calm her down for a while.
Gu Yingying was not obedient and sensible. Just when she was about to curse, Ye Yun said lightly: "Do you still want the kitten?"
In an instant, Gu Yingying shut her mouth.
She was so depressed that she glared at the man fiercely, turned around, gritted her teeth, and was so angry that she lowered her head and cursed.
The man's face was already red from the cold, but now he looked more like a cooked prawn when she scolded him.
With an embarrassed face and uneasy eyes, he looked at Ye Yun. He rubbed his hands back and forth and hesitated, as if he had something to say to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun sarcastically said: "Is it possible that you really want to take the bag back?"
"No, no, no." The man immediately shook his head and laughed dryly, "Since the kitten was picked up by Director Ye, I'm relieved."
Ye Yun couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
"What are you lying about?" She kept a smile on her face, but her eyes were particularly sharp and compelling. "I was walking behind you when you abandoned the kittens yesterday. I saw it really clearly. You looked like you had thrown them away. You picked up the hot potato and left quickly. I didn’t think you had any mercy at that time, but now your conscience has discovered it?”
"No...well, if you think so, I really have nothing to explain."
The man smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Director Ye, you don't know something. This litter of kittens was brought into my house by a wild cat."
"I originally wanted to keep them secretly until they leave the nest, or survive this winter, and then let the old cat take them out, but who knew, my family would find out."
"My family didn't like this thing, so they forced me to throw it away. I didn't want to throw it away, and we even had a quarrel about it."
oh.
Ye Yun asked quietly: "What then?"
The man heard the sarcasm in Ye Yun's tone, and shook his head helplessly, sighing: "I'm not very promising, and I can't control my emotions easily."
"My wife said she would divorce me if I didn't throw them away."
"I was so angry at the time that I just packed them up and threw them away!"
As if remembering the quarrel with the man at home last night, he shook his head helplessly.
Gu Yingying couldn't listen anymore, rolled up her sleeves and sneered: "Ha! I asked you to throw it away, not to kill you! You can't find a good place to throw it away? Why? Your wife asked you to throw it into the ditch by name. Drown in?"
The man touched his nose and said, "This is indeed my fault. When I get emotional, I..."
"You said a thousand things and ten thousand because you are evil!"
Gu Yingying said coldly: "If you still have the nerve to come back and look for it, who are you showing off to? If my sister-in-law hadn't picked up the kitten, you would only be able to find a few corpses now!"
The man was so scolded by her that he couldn't open his eyes. He lowered his head and responded repeatedly without daring to refute a word.
Ye Yun turned her head and stared at Gu Yingying, who was filled with indignation, and raised her eyebrows. What name did she just hear from this girl's mouth?
Seeing Ye Yun looking at her with a secretive expression, Gu Yingying pointed angrily:
"What are you looking at me for? Scolding him!"
Ye Yun: "..."
Pulling the cursing Gu Yingying behind her, Ye Yun looked at the man opposite and said calmly: "Now that you know the kitten is where I am, you don't have to look for it anymore."
"Let me take the liberty of asking, how are they doing now?" the man said slightly cautiously.
He was the culprit who abandoned the kitten, and he was the least qualified to ask such questions. If Ye Yun didn't tell him, there was nothing he could do.
"Five, all pretty good."
The man nodded when he heard the words, as if he was relieved, lowered his head and fell into silence.
Ye Yun did not continue talking to him, but took Gu Yingying's hand and planned to leave.
"Director Ye, wait!"
Suddenly the man behind him called out to him.
The man hurriedly followed them, clasping his hands, and said anxiously: "Director Ye, do you want the old cat or not? I just got rid of the old female cat with the kittens. I didn't see the kittens when I came back yesterday. They were always nearby. Looking for a kitten."
Ye Yun raised her eyebrows, "The old cat is still alive?"
"Alive."
The man said and wiped the tip of his nose sheepishly. Didn't this imply that he killed the old she-cat?
It's just that his behavior last night was really abominable. Ye Yun's speculation about him was understandable, and he didn't have any righteous position to refute.
Ye Yun thought for a moment.
Now that the little milk cat has long washed away its previous aura, even if the old mother cat comes, I'm afraid she won't be able to recognize her kittens.
But leaving the old female cat outside looking for her kits seems unethical...
"Director Ye, I am familiar with the old cat. If you are willing to take it in, I will catch it at night and send it to you. Do you think that's okay?"
"Please be kind and take in the old cat. It will be obedient. My dear, there are people eating cat meat around here. If you don't take it in, I'm afraid it will be caught one day, so..."
"Then bring it to me."
When Ye Yun heard his second sentence, her face turned slightly cold and she did not refuse again.
If the old cat doesn't recognize the kitten, she will keep the two separately. Besides, Tian Xiaohui also said that there are always mice in the pastry shop. If the old cat doesn't recognize the kitten, she can put it in the pastry shop to catch it first. mouse.
Seeing Ye Yun agree, the man was overjoyed.
"Great, then, Director Ye, the old cat will come to my house at eight o'clock in the evening to look for something to eat. I will catch him and deliver it to you."
"Can."
Ye Yun thought for a moment and asked politely: "What's your name? I'll tell the guard."
"Oh, my name is Xun Xiangbin!" When the man was asked his name, he looked a little flattered. He gestured with his hands excitedly and said: "Xun Yu's Xun, direction Xiang, Bin who is both civil and military, Xun Xiangbin!"
Ye Yun was slightly stunned.
After two seconds of silence, she asked tentatively: "Xun...Xiang Bin?"
Xun Xiangbin nodded, "Yes!"
But soon, he noticed that Ye Yun's face was getting colder and colder, and a look of confusion appeared on his face, "Director Ye, what's wrong with you..."
Ye Yun's face turned cold visibly.
After a long time, he sneered: "I asked you why you are so fluent in abandoning kittens. It turns out that this is not the first time you have done this kind of heartless and cold-blooded behavior of abandonment and betrayal."
"What?"
Xun Xiangbin was stunned.
