Rebirth of a Village Girl-Chapter 1079 - 278: Yangyang Blows Up!_6

After all, this was Wu Yanyun’s room. Before entering, permission from Yan Erju was definitely needed.

"Of course, you can." Yan Erju nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ni Yang immediately walked to the door and pushed open Wu Yanyun’s bedroom.

Wu Yanyun’s room was tidy, but Duoduo was nowhere to be seen.

Ni Yang called out several times for Duoduo, but there was no response.

"Chirp chirp!" Duoduo’s friend was also very anxious.

Could it be that Duoduo is not here?

Ni Yang frowned slightly, and at that moment, her ears perked up; she heard an extremely faint sound, like claws scratching the floor. This sound came from—

Under the bed!

Ni Yang hurriedly laid down and looked under the bed.

There were some books and empty shoe boxes under the bed. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing, but Ni Yang was certain that there was something behind these items!

Yan Erju couldn’t hear these subtle sounds and looked at Ni Yang with a puzzled face.

Could Duoduo still be hiding under the bed?

While Yan Erju was puzzled, Ni Yang suddenly pulled out a square metal cage from under the bed.

The cage was covered in bloodstains, and in its center lay a small black bird.

This was—

Duoduo!

Yan Erju went pale!

What had happened?

"Duoduo?"

Yan Erju’s voice trembled as Ni Yang spoke.

With trembling fingertips, Ni Yang opened the cage. Duoduo’s beak was tightly bound with thin wire, and its body, claws, and head were covered in scabbed wounds.

"Duoduo..."

Tears dripped onto the back of her hand, and Ni Yang didn’t even know how she managed to untie the thin wire from Duoduo’s beak.

All she saw in her eyes was Duoduo’s horribly misshapen beak.

This silly bird, how much pain it must be in.

Duoduo used to be so afraid of pain...

"Duoduo, I’m back, look at me! Didn’t you say you missed me?"

Duoduo lay in Ni Yang’s palm, and upon hearing her voice, strained to open its eyes.

It’s Yangyang!

Yangyang is back.

But it can’t go back...

Duoduo opened its mouth, and from its dry throat, not a single sound could be made.

Ni Yang grabbed a water cup from the table, dipped some water with a tissue, and brought it to Duoduo’s beak, "Duoduo, have some water first..."

Water.

It was water.

Locked under the bed for nearly two days, during the hungriest and thirstiest moments, how it wished Wu Yanyun would untie the wire from its beak and provide it with water, with food.

Even if just a drop of water, a grain of birdseed, it could hold on until Yangyang came back.

Because it knew that Yangyang would find it!

Just like the time she found it at that little bastard’s place. But it had waited a very long time, and Yangyang had not come.

Duoduo didn’t want to die, was fearful of death; there were still so many delicious things it hadn’t tasted, so many fun things it hadn’t done. If it died, what if someone bullied the silly cat at home?

If it died, what would happen to Yangyang...

Later, it couldn’t take it anymore and began frantically hitting the cage.

But the cage was made of iron wire.

It crashed into exhaustion, its head bleeding profusely, yet the cage remained unbroken.

Duoduo’s vision grew increasingly blurry, as did Ni Yang’s.

Cool water soothed the dryness, Duoduo mustered all its strength, "Yangyang..."

Its voice was no longer crisp, hoarse and murky beyond recognition.

No one knew the agony it had been through these days.

It was unimaginable.

"Duoduo, stop talking, I’m taking you home now, I will cure you, let’s go home."

"Yangyang..." Duoduo looked at Ni Yang and eventually, its eyes slowly closed.

In the palm of her hand, she could no longer feel its heartbeat.

Ni Yang, trembling shoulders, watched Duoduo as her low voice turned into almost a wail.

It was the first time Yan Erju had seen Ni Yang like this.

Ni Yang, so utterly distraught.

For a moment, she did not know what to say.

Duoduo died in Wu Yanyun’s room, and the perpetrator behind the scene was now evident.

She couldn’t understand why Wu Yanyun would do this, nor could she fathom why Wu Yanyun had become so cruel!

For a moment, Yan Erju’s eyes also reddened.

"Duoduo, I’ll take you home." Ni Yang carried Duoduo in one hand and leveraged herself up from the ground using a chair with the other, but the action caused blood to rush to her temples and she nearly collapsed forward.

Blood rushed to her heart!

"Yangyang, are you alright?" Yan Erju quickly reached out to support Ni Yang.

"I’m fine." Ni Yang waved her hand and staggered toward the door.

Yan Erju could only watch Ni Yang’s retreating figure.

A mournful cry emanated from above.

Ni Yang carefully placed Duoduo in a cardboard box on the passenger seat, one hand on the steering wheel, the other repeatedly wiping tears that seemed endless.

It was her fault.

She shouldn’t have stayed abroad for so long.

If she had returned earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened.

When Ni Cuihua saw Ni Yang disheveled coming out of the car, she was utterly shocked.

Knowing that Ni Yang is a strong person, having been in Beijing for three years without shedding a tear in her presence.

A foreboding feeling suddenly seized Ni Cuihua, "Yangyang, what happened to you? Did you find Duoduo?"

Ni Yang opened the passenger’s door, "Duoduo is dead."

"What?" Ni Cuihua’s eyes widened, thinking she was hallucinating.

"It’s dead." Ni Yang took out the cardboard box from the passenger seat.

"My God!" Seeing the battered Duoduo, Ni Cuihua covered her mouth, her eyes instantly reddening with tears flowing.

Who can remain indifferent in the face of such emotions?

They had spent so much time with Duoduo, and its quirky, charming nature had already made it a member of their family.

With a hoarse voice, Ni Cuihua asked, "What happened to Duoduo? How did it die? Who did this?"

Upon hearing the commotion, Old Master Zheng, Grandma Zheng, and Grandma Shangguan also ran out and were startled to see Duoduo in such a state, wiping their tears from heartache.

Grandma Shangguan cried and asked, "What in the world happened? Didn’t Duoduo just miss one night at home? How could this have happened to it? Who did this? It’s so immoral! Truly despicable! Yangyang, where did you find Duoduo?"

Ni Yang handed the box with Duoduo to Ni Cuihua, "Mom, I need to step out for a bit."

"Where are you going?"

"To avenge Duoduo!" After dropping these words, Ni Yang got into the driver’s seat.
