Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684-call

The area of the Pet Shop was not too small. The first floor had a complicated environment with shelves and display cabinets. Every inch of space was used as much as possible. This was not a disadvantage during normal times, but after the power outage, the places where the candles and emergency lights could not shine on were very dark. There were shadows everywhere, and the line of sight was not good.
The Thunder, the rain, and the wind were too noisy, and the elves couldn’t sleep even if they wanted to. They yawned in boredom.
The kittens and puppies were very sensitive to the sound of thunder, and they would often be frightened by the sound of thunder.
Zhang Zian took the flashlight and walked around the first floor carefully, then went up to the second floor to look for it. The suspicion in his heart was confirmed. The other Elfins were all there, but only Vladimir was missing.
Vladimir’s wounds had basically healed, and there was no need for bandages anymore. However, its body had not returned to its previous lively state, so Zhang Zian asked it to shorten the time it spent outside as much as possible and wait until it had recovered. After all, its body was the capital of that thing.
In the morning, the staff was not there, and he was busy dealing with the customers. He remembered seeing Vladimir in the shop in the morning. Later, because of the sudden arrival of the typhoon and the little episode with Xu Zhuang Zhuang, he had no time to care about it. But if it left from the door on the first floor, he should have seen it.
Pi, have you seen Vladimir?” Zian asked Pi, who had been waiting on the second floor.
“Squeak squeak.”
Pi nodded, pointed to the window, and made a gesture. It meant that it had seen Pi jump out of the window, just when the news of the typhoon suddenly came.
Zhang Zian understood that Vladimir might have helped the stray cats take refuge. It couldn’t bear to leave itself in a safe place and let the stray cats live and die on their own. This was indeed its style.
At this point, he had no other choice. It was unrealistic to go out and look for it in such bad weather. The storm had erased all smells and footprints, so there was no way to track it. He believed that Vladimir could take care of itself. The Meow-Meow doctrine believer who dared to fight was not afraid of the storm.
Not only Vladimir and the stray cats, but little white and the stray dogs must also be trying to survive the typhoon at this time. Unfortunately, he couldn’t help them and could only hope that they were lucky.
He returned to the first floor again. Wang Qian and Li Kun were still planning to play mahjong, while Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei were playing on their mobile phones.
The internet speed on his cell phone was terrible. He would definitely be scolded by his teammates when he played games, and he would be disconnected. He could barely get online, but he might not be able to get online after a while.
“Master, how about Mahjong? Don’t you have Mahjong at home? I’m so bored that I can’t even play games, so let’s play mahjong together!” Wang Qian and Li Kun said in embarrassment.
Zhang Zian wasn’t in the mood for that.”You guys go ahead. I still have things to do.”
“I’ll pass, I don’t know how to play. ” Lu Yiyun waved her hand.
Jiang Feifei didn’t refuse, but the three of them couldn’t play, and they didn’t even have Mahjong.
Wang Qian and Li Kun kept pestering him.”What do you want in this damn weather?” Can you help us find some mahjong tiles first?”
Pi didn’t need to use his phone as a hotspot to surf the internet anymore. When he came down from the second floor, he took his phone down and waved at them to shut up. He said to little celery,””Little celery, what is your mother’s phone number? Do you remember?”
Little celery nodded. Although she didn’t have a cell phone, her mother had asked her to memorize her cell phone number in case she needed to call.
“Give your mother a call and tell her you’re here.” Zhang Zian opened the dial page.”I’ll help you.”
Little celery gave him her phone number. After he dialed the number, he raised the phone to her face.
Toot du du du
The other party’s phone rang a few times before it was connected.
“Hello? Who are you looking for?”
An unfamiliar female voice said while panting. Her voice sounded anxious and impolite. Probably because the number was unfamiliar, she thought she had called the wrong number.
The environment on the other end of the phone was very noisy. It was obviously outdoors, and the rumbling Thunder could be heard even on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Zian guessed that after she heard the phone ring, she had found a place to take shelter from the rain before answering the phone, in case the phone lost its function due to water. Perhaps she had hesitated about whether to answer this strange call.
“Mother!” “I …” Little celery said loudly.
As soon as he started, he heard the other side almost screaming,””Little celery! Where did you go? I’m dying of anxiety!”
Little celery was so scared by her mother’s tone that she couldn’t say anything. The more she couldn’t say anything, the more anxious her mother became.
“Say something! Where are you?”
“Hello?” Zhang Zian put the phone to his ear,”Hello, are you Xiao … Cai Xiaoqin’s mother?” Your daughter is hiding from the typhoon at my place. Don’t worry, she’s fine and not hurt at all. If it’s convenient for you, you can come and pick her up. But if the weather is too bad, you …”
Without waiting for him to finish, the other party interrupted,””I’ll be right there. Where are you?”
Zhang Zian told her his address and said,””Don’t force yourself. Cai Xiaoqin is very safe here. I suggest you wait for the storm to pass before coming back. It’s too dangerous to be outdoors now. If you get hurt …”
Little celery also said loudly in worry,””Mother! I’m fine, there are a few brothers and sisters with me here, you don’t have to rush over …”
“No need to say anything, I’ll be there immediately! Little celery, don’t go anywhere, just wait there!” The other party hung up the phone.
“I’m sorry, my mom is not like this …” Little celery apologized pitifully.
“I know, it’s okay.”
The other party’s tone was rough and irritable, but Zhang Zian could completely understand the other party’s mood. It was a pity for parents in the world. Their young daughter was taking refuge in a strange place with a few strangers in such bad weather. Which mother would not be anxious? The more anxious she was, the more she cared about little celery’s safety.
He advised her not to come over for the time being out of good intentions, because it was too dangerous to move outdoors in such weather. Little celery might be safe and sound while she got hurt, which would not be worth it.
She refused his kindness and chose the former between her daughter’s safety and her own. She would not feel at ease until she saw little celery’s situation with her own eyes.
Maybe it would be better to call her after the storm had subsided, which could ensure the safety of both parties, but she might go crazy by then. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Zian decided to call her now and let her make the choice.
She was so anxious to see little celery that she didn’t give him enough time to explain. Even if he called her again, she probably wouldn’t pick up, and it was dangerous to pick up the phone in a thunderstorm.
He had no choice but to wait.
