Chapter 374 It Couldn’t Survive
He nodded with a faint smile, agreeing.
After leaving the restaurant, the winter in Springbury was warm, even the night wind was comfortable, especially suitable for a walk after dinner.
From the restaurant to the hotel, it wasn’t far. The roadside was lined with large patches of pineapple and banana trees, the lush vegetation was so comforting that it made us, who lived in River City all year round, envious.
Perhaps good moods are contagious, Daniel noticed and asked, “Do you like Springbury?”
I nodded, “Of course I like it. Everything here is green, unlike River City which is full of skyscrapers, cold in winter and hot in summer. I really envy the people who live here.”
He gave a slight smile, “If you like it, you can settle down here in the future, or come here for vacation every winter. However, despite the good vegetation, there are also many mosquitoes. It’s fine in winter, but in summer it’s hot, and various types of snakes can be seen everywhere, which is not so good.”
I was most afraid of soft-bodied animals, having been bitten a few times, I was already terrified deep down. Just imagining his words, I couldn’t help but shiver, saying, “Then just come occasionally in winter, not in summer.”
He gave a slight smile. Seeing his familiarity with this place, I asked, “Have you been here before?”

He shook his head, “The climate of Freyhedge isn’t much different from here.”
Well, it was.
Chatting while walking, we were moving quite fast. In no time, we were about to reach the hotel. As we pa*sed a green belt, I suddenly heard a noise and stopped.
Daniel asked suspiciously, “What happened?”
I made a shushing gesture, widened my eyes and asked, “Did you hear any noise?”
He furrowed his brows slightly. Under the dim streetlight, the man was sitting in a wheelchair, but his fair skin and deep eyes, frozen in surprise, were staring at me. He truly looked good.
“Meow!” Upon hearing the cat’s cry, I averted my gaze from his, exclaiming in surprise, “Did you hear that?”
He nodded, his dark eyes following the source of the sound. It was a green belt, not far away, but due to the dense vegetation, he could only confirm the sound and didn’t see anything.
I couldn’t help but quietly approach, wanting to get a clear look at this kitten that was making the noise.
Daniel was following behind me, the sound of his wheelchair turning startled the green belt, causing a noticeable tremor. I pinpointed the location, and due to the dim street lights, I pulled out my phone and shone the flashlight into the green belt.
Under the dense vegetation, a small yellow and white cat was crouching. It seemed to be half-lying, curled up under the plants.
“Meow…” The little one didn’t run, just made a sound.

I couldn’t see its specific appearance clearly, and seeing it not running, I attempted to reach in and grab it.
“Don’t move.” Daniel’s voice came from beside my ear. I stopped what I was doing and turned to look at him, puzzled, “What’s wrong?”
Daniel frowned at the cat in the green belt and said, “It’s injured.”
I paused for a moment, holding the flashlight at a different angle, and suddenly realized that the half-lying kitten seemed to have been pierced by something in its belly.
It lay there, with faint traces of blood still visible.
My heart skipped a beat. I had originally planned to grab it with one hand, but at that moment, I handed my phone to Daniel and said, “You hold the light for me, I’ll carry it out.”
Daniel frowned, not taking it. Seeing him like this, I couldn’t help but say, “Hurry up, it’s injured. Do you want to watch it die?”
He pursed his l*ps, his voice carrying a hint of indifference, “It won’t survive. The pet hospital is closed at this hour, you won’t find anyone who can save it.”
I was anxious. Seeing that he didn’t want to lend a hand, I put my phone in my mouth and turned around to reach into the greenery. I had to illuminate the area and also carry the cat out. It was inevitable that I would get scratched on the face.
However, before I could get hurt again, a pair of large hands lifted me up by the back of my neck, took the phone out of my mouth, put it in my hand, and said in a deep voice, “I’ll do it.”
Seeing Daniel stand up and bend over to hug the cat in the green belt, I was taken aback. It didn’t register in my mind that he had just gotten up from his wheelchair.

The cat was carried out, very thin, and what was even more surprising was the sharp arrow in its abdomen, which had penetrated from its front scapula to its abdomen, equivalent to a person being pierced by an arrow from the sternum to the tailbone, how terrifying.
