Chapter 1546: Biting

In the end, Uncle Wang couldn't bring himself to take out his thermos.

He didn't quite dare.

As soon as he made a move, several dogs would tilt their heads to look at him. They weren't actually fierce, but he felt guilty.

Sometimes, he would think about it and realize he hadn't done anything wrong; he was just carrying a cup of milk.

But then he would think about the price of their stuff...

He went back and forth, struggling, while still managing to get all his work done. Finally, while shoveling cow dung, he let out a sigh—

Forget it, forget it.

At his age, finding a stable job where they even provide social insurance and a housing fund, plus health checkups, is something you couldn't even snatch up elsewhere.

If he were to be fired for stealing milk, wouldn't he be laughed to death by everyone in the surrounding villages?

He was at such an old age, and his reputation was quite important too.

It must be said, once he let go of that thought, he felt much more at ease looking at the dogs.

Seeing them still curiously crowding around him, Uncle Wang chuckled and patted the empty cup at his chest:

"What are you looking at? I haven't done anything today. Don't even think about trying to use me to earn merit!"

Turning his head again, he saw Chen Chi also looking at him curiously.

Uncle Wang's heart skipped a beat.

He smiled stiffly: "I, I haven't done anything..."

However, Chen Chi stared straight at the cup peeking out from his chest:

"Uncle Wang, where did you buy your cup?"

Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the cup: "My daughter bought it online, but thought it was too flashy and didn't want it."

Wasn't that the truth? It was both blue and yellow, the saturation was very high, and the fluorescent color looked exceptionally eye-catching.

Chen Chi said "Oh," and then exclaimed: "It looks so good. Wubao and the others lost a chew toy of this color. Uncle Wang, have you seen it?"

As he spoke, the dogs squatting nearby tilted their heads in unison, looking at him with expectant, highly focused eyes.

Uncle Wang:...

He didn't know what came over him, but at that moment, his brain short-circuited, and he pulled the thermos he had been hiding in his jacket out:

"How about, playing with this one?"

He bought it on Pinduoduo for 8.8; it was actually quite good and didn't leak at all.

Chen Chi was genuinely tempted, but then he shook his head: "No, no, let's keep looking. That chew toy was a gift from a dog owner who came here; it was also very expensive. It would be a pity if it were lost!"

Uncle Wang regretted saying that the moment it left his mouth. He hurriedly stuffed the thermos back into his jacket and, hearing this, added casually: "How much could a dog toy cost?"

Chen Chi was still rummaging through the grass, not even turning his head: "They cost 69.9 each!"

Uncle Wang subconsciously pressed down on his thermos again; for some reason, he felt a lump in his throat.

Chen Xi didn't know that Uncle Wang's mentality was slightly crumbling, but he brought several dogs to get checkups. When the car stopped at the entrance of the pet hospital, the pregnant dogs stepped out of the car with light, agile movements, which truly made the families of the patients at the pet hospital go "Oh my."

The way these dogs are raised...

It wasn't an insult, just a simple exclamation: how should one put it? Each one was sleek and shiny, their fur seemingly reflecting light under the sun; they were exceptionally outstanding.

Don't look at the fact that they were pregnant; they walked with high spirits and vigorous postures. Aside from their round bellies, even their eyes were exceptionally energetic.

"Look at how good the breed of these dogs is! Unlike our mixed-breed at home..."

Someone was muttering softly, but before they could finish, they saw that among the dogs queuing to enter, there was also a large yellow dog common in rural areas.

That's right, Zhou Qibao is a girl, and quite popular too; she was being pursued by three dogs at the same time, and to this day, no one knows who the father of the pups is.

"This person truly loves dogs and really knows how to raise them! Look at how healthy each one is! They must have picked ones with a healthy physical foundation from a young age..."

Before these words were finished, a wolf-dog with a silver hollow eye patch over its left eye entered from behind. The other party stood there coldly and glanced at him, and the person speaking immediately fell silent.

Beside them, a girl giggled secretly, while whispering about how handsome and pretty the dog was.

Thus, someone else muttered: "The breed isn't important; it mainly depends on the condition and the looks..."

As they spoke, they held their own old mixed-breed dog in their arms like a treasure, holding the lab report in their hand.

Turning their head again, they saw a limping German Shepherd walk in.

This was the German Shepherd Yingjun. Its leg injury had actually already healed; it just couldn't bear weight or run for long periods. But recently, for some reason, as long as it limped, someone would secretly give it food...

In short, it was limping again.

Because of this, the owner of the boyfriend dog complained that the Song family was too heartless, bringing even a dog like this out for breeding, and that it would be a huge burden to be pregnant while limping...

Heaven is my witness!

Dog Brother really didn't do it, and the Song family didn't either!

But Yingjun was just like that; it rushed to the front for any activity. Whether it succeeded or not, it definitely wouldn't let its mouth suffer.

It didn't really have any thoughts about matchmaking, but since the other dogs were doing it, it had to do it too.

Now that it had gotten out of the car and saw so many people, no matter how agile its jumping movements were, it definitely had to limp while walking.

Everyone:...

At this point, whether they were paying attention or not, everyone turned their gaze toward the person who had been speaking: Brother, why don't we stop talking? Otherwise, I'm afraid more dogs will come down and slap us in the face.

Chen Xi's face felt a bit hot—Yingjun being like this wasn't a disgrace to the dog, it was just a bit embarrassing.

A familiar doctor walked to the door and took one look: "Oh my! Yingjun, you sprained your foot! Should we give you a shot?"

Yingjun's long, large ears perked up, and its gait immediately became steady.

At this, everyone on the first floor of the pet hospital burst into laughter.

Being so smart and so funny, someone immediately became restless: "You raise these dogs really well, they're all pregnant, right? When the puppies are born, can I reserve one?"

Chen Xi smiled: "I'm sorry, these dogs have all been reserved by others in advance."

Being raised so well, it was only natural that they were reserved in advance. The other party looked at the dogs again with envy and reluctance, then pointed at Zhou Qibao and asked: "Has our local big yellow dog been reserved too?"

Just as they were talking, the security guard who went to park the car walked in holding something yellow and green: "When I was closing the door, this chew toy got stuck. The rubber on it was all bitten up. Should I throw it away?"

It was indeed broken. It was a large, heavy chew toy, and the rubber on it was covered in tooth marks and dents; one could only imagine what kind of destruction and gnawing it had suffered.

This was asked to Chen Xi, who looked at it and nodded.

"I haven't seen it for a while; it was originally an old one left here by another dog owner. How did it get in this car?"

He didn't have any impression of it, but it was indeed bitten beyond recognition; it should be thrown away if it needed to be.

The security guard had just stepped through the main door and, right there on the steps, tossed it forward—there was a trash can by the roadside tree, and with his aim, throwing it in easily wouldn't be a problem!

However, just as the yellow-green fluorescent stick flew through an arc in mid-air, a thick yellow bolt of lightning rushed out rapidly, and then leaped into the air—

"Oh!"

Everyone's souls were about to fly away!
