Chapter 15 Rebellious Youth Raises Crocodiles
The location sent by Chen Rongqian was about four kilometers away, on the banks of the Baijiao River. Yang Xun drove his electric bike and arrived at his destination in about ten minutes.
"Sister Chen, I've arrived. Where are you?"
"Xiao Xun, I'm here. Come in quickly."
Just seconds after Yang Xun sent the message, he heard Chen Rongqian shouting from the side, and he turned his head to look.
Chen Rongqian was in the courtyard of a three-and-a-half-story building with a garden next door. Moreover, not only Chen Rongqian was in the courtyard, but there was also a fat woman with a large chin and a teenager of about seventeen or eighteen years old next to her.
"Wait... why is that fat woman here too? Could it be that she's lost some pet?"
Yang Xun was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Chen Rongqian's massage parlor owner would also be here; she was the same obese woman.
"Xiao Xun, what are you standing there for? Come in quickly."
As Chen Rongqian called out again, Yang Xun shrugged and had no choice but to push open the door and enter the courtyard of the house.
He also greeted Chen Rongqian and the obese woman, saying, "Sister Chen, Sister Wang."
Wang Zhen, weighing two hundred pounds, walked over, looked Yang Xun up and down, and asked curiously, "Xiao Xun, I heard from Rong Qian that you recently learned a unique skill, that you can help people find some cats and dogs, right?"
"Sister Wang, I know a thing or two about this."
Yang Xun nodded slightly and asked, "Sister Wang, why did you call me over? What pet is missing?"
Wang Zhen said urgently, "Xiao Xun, my son's pet crocodile has gone missing. I don't know if you have any way to find it. If you find it, you'll get the 20,000 yuan reward that Rong Qian told you about, in full."
"Mom, the crocodile I raised has been gone for three days. How am I supposed to find it?"
The young man next to him objected: "He's not much older than me. The Baijiao River is right outside. The crocodile might have already escaped to the sea. How are we supposed to find it? Mom, can't we just not go through all this trouble? The crocodile is gone, so why do we have to find it and spend 20,000 yuan?"
"Son, how dare you talk like that?"
Wang Zhen glared at her son Wang Yuan and said worriedly, "What if that crocodile bites someone and kills them? You'll definitely go to jail. I told you not to raise crocodiles, but you insisted on doing so, and now it's run away. If you weren't my only son, I wouldn't bother with you. Shut up and stop causing trouble."
Chen Rongqian also came up to persuade him, "A Yuan, your mother is doing this for your own good. What if your brother can find the crocodile? That would be a great thing."
"I don't believe anyone has that kind of ability. You only called him here because he's handsome. I know that, and I'm too lazy to bother with your nonsense."
Wang Yuan glanced at Yang Xun with jealousy, then stormed into the house.
Yang Xun smiled awkwardly and helplessly, but considering the system prompt that he was tasked with finding the crocodile, he didn't bother arguing with the rebellious youth. Instead, he looked at Wang Zhen and agreed, "Sister Wang, I promise to help you find the crocodile. As for whether I can find it, I can't guarantee it."
"Xiao Xun, that's just the kind of person my son is, don't take it to heart."
Wang Zhen looked at Yang Xun and explained, then added with a smile, "As long as you help me find that crocodile, I'll not only give you a reward of 20,000 yuan, but I can also give you ten free massages."
Yang Xun waved his hand awkwardly and said, "Sister Wang, let's not talk about the massage for now. Take me to see the place where crocodiles used to live."
"Xiao Xun, come with us."
Wang Zhen turned and led the way.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a fish pond in a corner of the courtyard.
"Xiao Xun, take a look. That crocodile has always lived in this pool. According to the surveillance footage, the crocodile climbed out of the pool three days ago and ran out through the unlocked gate. It probably ran into the Baijiao River. As for whether it is dead or alive now, and where it is, I'm leaving it all to you, Xiao Xun."
"Yes, Sister Wang, I will do my best."
Yang Xun nodded and began to pretend to survey the area around the pool.
Wang Zhen didn't interrupt, but instead looked at Chen Rongqian beside her and asked in a low voice, "Rongqian, Xiao Xun really has the ability to find cats and dogs. Could it be that your cat was taken away by Xiao Xun beforehand and placed somewhere, waiting for you to take the bait?"
Chen Rongqian shook her head and smiled, "Sister Zhen, although you've only met Xiao Xun once or twice, I see Xiao Xun almost every day. Don't I know what kind of person Xiao Xun is? If you don't trust Xiao Xun, you should at least trust me."
Even if Xiao Xun doesn't find the crocodile in the end, there's no loss. Sister Zhen, haven't you always been looking forward to seeing Xiao Xun again? Now that Xiao Xun is here, you should be even happier."
"Rongqian, what is there for me to be happy about?"
Wang Zhen rolled her eyes and said, "Before, I thought Xiao Xun was unemployed. He's not bad looking, so I wanted to invite him to my massage parlor to learn massage techniques. With his looks and skills, he could attract rich women to come and spend money. Rong Qian, do you think I'm interested in Xiao Xun?"
"Isn't that right? Knowing Xiao Xun as I do, he won't fawn over these rich women."
Chen Rongqian gave her a disbelieving look and said, "It seems like it was yesterday. A pretty young woman was following Xiao Xun, and Xiao Xun didn't even have any objections, let alone us."
In the blink of an eye, four or five minutes had passed. Yang Xun felt it was about time and walked back, saying, "Sister Wang, I'm going to start the live stream to go find the crocodiles."
Wang Zhen exclaimed excitedly, "Xiao Xun, do you know where the crocodile is?"
"There's no definite location yet, but we've come up with a slight solution."
Yang Xun replied again, then started the live stream, pointing the camera at the pool and introducing, "Family members, the streamer is back online. Have you seen this pool? A few days ago, a crocodile escaped from this pool. The streamer came to check and see if he could find the crocodile."
"Wow, streamer, are you looking for a crocodile?"
"Someone actually keeps a crocodile as a pet, that's incredibly audacious."
"Host, hurry up and set off. I want to see if you can find the crocodile."
"Host, how many years were the three people sentenced to for stealing the arowana?"
……
After a morning of live streaming in search of dragonfish, the number of followers on the live streaming platform account has exceeded 10,000, with dozens of fans entering the live stream room as soon as it started.
"Sister Wang, Sister Chen, I'm going out to look for them now."
Yang Xun said one more thing to Wang Zhen and Chen Rongqian, then picked up the pole and walked out the door.
"Xiao Xun, is it far? I'm bored, so I'll come with you to find the crocodiles, is that alright?"
Chen Rongqian hurriedly chased after her and asked, "And Xiao Xun, what's your live stream account? I'll go in now and boost your popularity."
The large-tonnage Wang Zhen also chased after them and asked, "Xiao Xun, oh right, I almost forgot you're also a live-streaming animal hunt host. I'd like to go into your live stream room to take a look. As for me, I won't go with you guys to find the crocodile."
"Sister Chen, I'm driving an electric scooter, and I don't know where the crocodile is. It's not good for you to follow me in your car; it's inconvenient."
Yang Xun did not refuse, but answered truthfully, and then placed his phone in front of them: "Sister Chen, Sister Wang, this is my live streaming account. You are welcome to come in and check on the rooms anytime."
While taking out her phone to operate it, Chen Rongqian laughed and said, "Xiao Xun, if I want to ride on your electric scooter with you, oh right, Xiao Xun, when did you buy a new electric scooter?"
