The likable Shu Yu then went to the veterinarian. The cat from two days ago was still there.
When the staff of the veterinarian saw her, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Miss, you’re finally here. If you hadn’t come, we would have thought that you didn’t want this cat.”
Shu Yu entered and looked around. “Why wouldn’t I want it? I had a lot of things to do two days ago and was delayed. Where’s my cat?”
“Here.” The shop assistant took her to the backyard and stood in front of one of the cages.
He opened it and took the cat out. “According to your instructions, the vet has carefully examined this cat. It was probably bullied when it was a wild cat, so it suffered a lot since it was still young. There were many hidden injuries on its body. Now, its injuries are almost healed, but they still needed to be taken care of. The bugs on it have also been treated. It looks quite clean after taking a shower.”
Shu Yu took the kitten over. The cat probably still recognized her and meowed at her.
Its voice was soft and its white fur was soft and clean. It was very lovable.
“How old is this cat?”
“About six months.”
Shu Yu muttered, “So young?
She frowned slightly. There wouldn’t be a problem with it after she fed it the knockout powder last time, right?
She asked the shop assistant again. After confirming that the cat was fine except for some internal injuries, she was relieved.
Shu Yu had left some money in the veterinarian’s clinic, so the cat had been eating well these days. It looked much better than when she first saw it.
She checked it and felt that there was no problem. Then, she said to the shop assistant, “Thank you. I’ll take it back first.”
“Alright, if there’s any problem, just send it over and we’ll take a look.”
The shop assistant prepared a small basket for her, and the basket was covered with a layer of shredded cloth. Then, they placed the white cat inside.
Shu Yu carried the small basket and went back to Ningshui Street.
Unexpectedly, when she passed by the county office, she found many people standing outside, discussing animatedly.
Due to the identity of the body’s original owner, Shu Yu had always tried her best to avoid contact with the county office. Whenever she passed by the entrance, she had always rushed past.
However, it had never been as lively before this. Not only were there many people around today, but there were also several soldiers standing on the steps of the county office. They were holding knives and had murderous look on their faces.
Shu Yu asked the person beside him, “What happened?”
That person immediately lowered his voice and said, “I heard that our county magistrate committed a crime. Two hours ago, a group of soldiers suddenly came and surrounded the entire county office to arrest the county magistrate. The leader of the soldiers is still inside. I don’t know what’s going on.”
Shu Yu was shocked. The county magistrate of Jiangyuan County had been arrested.
But thinking about it, it made sense. Soon, something would happen to the Shu family. Before that, the government had to deal with the people under them first. Only then would they be able to have a firm grip on the Shu family, stacking the crimes together to sentence the Shu family.
It seemed that it would not be long before the Shu family was captured.
She had to hurry up.
Just as Shu Yu was about to leave, she suddenly heard another bystander say, just heard that someone escaped from the county office. Now, our city gates are closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave.”
“What? Then I won’t be able to go home today? This can’t do, I have to go and take a look.”
Shu Yu frowned. If she couldn’t leave, wouldn’t she be unable to return to Shangshi Village today?
Fortunately, she had told her family a few days ago that if there was a lot of work to do, she would rest in the shop in the county and that they did not have to worry..
