When she was at her wits' end, Xiaona jumped into the middle of the staff. She waggled her tail and rubbed against the staff in the service center.
Xiaona's movements quickly attracted the attention of the staff, who gathered around her.
"Wow, what a cute little fox!"
"Look at how shiny its fur is. It's so beautiful!"
"I bet that such a pet would fetch a sky-high price on the market!"
As those staff members spoke, they all knelt down and stroked Xiaona's hair.
Xiaona became more and more excited, and jumped directly onto the necks of the female employees, and got into their arms, making the female employees tremble and laugh from ear to ear.
After seeing this scene, I couldn't help but secretly sigh. It seems that Xiaona really has a way of seducing men. She is also good at dealing with women.
With Xiaona as a bridge, the staff at the service center quickly became familiar with us and kept asking about the varieties and prices of this flower fox.
While Lonnie and Bai Ze went to chat with the staff, Xiaona ran back to me and pursed her lips.
"Mr. Cheng, I've looked through it all and found no tattoos."
“It’s just that there’s a female employee, and something’s not right.”
Following Xiaona's gaze, I saw a female staff member sitting there in the corner of the service center with cold eyes.
"This woman has been keeping a distance from me just now. I feel that her aura is a little different from other people's. It is very likely that she is the person we are looking for."
"Are you sure?"
Xiaona shook her head: "It's hard to say, otherwise, I'll try it again."
After saying that, Xiaona sneaked behind the woman, jumped up, and jumped directly onto her neck.
"ah!"
The woman screamed in fright, her face turned pale, and she was about to reach out to hit her. Xiaona jumped down quickly and ran behind me.
"How on earth do you take care of your pet, and how can you scare people so easily!"
The woman walked up to me and yelled with anger on her face.
"I'm sorry, Xiaona probably just wants to get close to you and has no other intentions. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
I said with an apologetic smile on my face, but felt a little surprised in my heart.
The woman's face was pale, her whole body was trembling, and she was extremely excited and angry. It was not at all like a normal person's reaction after being frightened by a pet. It was a little too extreme!
"Mr. Cheng, I just saw that there does seem to be a tattoo on her shoulder, but I didn't see clearly whether it was a skull phantom."
Xiaona climbed on my shoulder and whispered.
I nodded and didn't say anything else. I already regarded that woman as the number one suspect in my mind.
After seeing the work badge hanging around her neck, which said Liu Mengmeng, I kept this name in mind and prepared to investigate her.
Just as he was about to tell Lonnie and Bai Ze about this discovery, suddenly, three tourists rushed in from outside the door. They stumbled and shouted as soon as they entered.
"Help, come and save people!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were attracted to these three people.
The three tourists were two men and one woman. Their hiking clothes were soaked through, and each of them looked pale and had purple lips.
As soon as they came in, I felt an inexplicable cold air coming over me, which made me feel chilly all over, as if I had fallen into a thousand-year-old ice cave!
Something is not right about these three people!
I couldn't help but squint my eyes and was watching these three tourists. At this time, Liu Mengmeng had already walked towards them.
"Three tourists, what happened to you?"
"I, we just rushed out of the snowy area on the top of the mountain, and there is a companion trapped there. Please bring someone to rescue her quickly!"
The leader, a tall and thin boy, begged with a cry.
Hearing these words, Liu Mengmeng's face suddenly showed a surprised look.
"Isn't it right? The altitude of our scenic spot is only more than two thousand meters. There is only a grassland on the top of the mountain and there is no snow area at all?"
The other staff members also looked at each other, looking at the three tourists with a hint of suspicion.
"Everything we said is true, we definitely didn't lie to you!"
When the tall and lanky boy saw this, he immediately became anxious: "Hurry up and send people to rescue people. Our companion probably won't last long!"
However, Liu Mengmeng just stood there indifferently, her eyes cold.
"Sorry sir, there are too many doubts about what you said. I hope you can explain it clearly before we can make a decision."
As Liu Mengmeng spoke, she turned her attention to the two people behind the tall and lanky boy, hoping that they could also explain the whole story.
Behind the tall and lanky boy stood a short, fat boy and a skinny girl.
The girl didn't seem to have recovered from the fright. She just folded her arms together, trembling, and couldn't even speak.
Another short, fat boy also drooped his head and kept sighing.
The tall and lanky boy sighed and said slowly: "Okay, let me tell you what exactly happened. What I say below is true and there is absolutely no lie. I hope you will believe it."
Then, the tall and lanky boy began to describe the terrifying scene that their group had experienced a few days ago.
It turns out that the tall and thin boy is called Xiao Lei, the short and fat boy is called Xiao Li, and the girl is called Xiao Mei.
In addition, they also have a female companion, Xiaoya.
The four of them are students who came here to travel. A few nights ago, a few people climbed to the top of the mountain to camp. Unexpectedly, a thunderstorm suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain in the middle of the night. In panic, the few people ran down the mountain without taking more than two steps. , a huge gap suddenly opened in the ground, and several people fell into it, and all of them fell into a coma for a while.
When they woke up, they found themselves in a small wooden house. The outside of the wooden house was covered with snow and the cold wind was howling. They could not see the edge at a glance. Moreover, the mobile phone signal was completely out of order, and they had no idea where they were.
The snow on the ground is up to the knees, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the small wooden house is empty, and there is no protection from the wind and cold. If you continue to stay here, there is only a dead end.
So, several people tried to find a way out, but one of the girls, Xiaoya, could not walk because of a high fever, so she could only stay and wait for several companions to come back for rescue.
So, the other three people trudged all the way through the snow for two days and two nights before they walked out of the snow.
"Please hurry up and save Xiaoya. She has been in the cabin for two days and two nights. If she doesn't get rescued, I'm afraid..."
Having said this, Xiao Lei couldn't help but lower his head and choked up.
What the tall and lanky boy said was indeed too bizarre, but for a few young students, there seemed to be no need to lie.
