“Meow meow meow!”
Snowy Lionet struggled to bite off a piece of the bloody beef from a larger piece of the raw calf. She chewed on it for a long time and swallowed it.
“This stinky man! Why don’t you buy meat that has already been cut into pieces in advance? It’s just a few dollars more expensive. It’s causing me to waste so much effort!”
At least Snowy Lionet got to eat. The other elfins who needed to eat had been hungry for two days. They were not willing to drink blood like Snowy Lionet, and they were not willing to sneak out to eat ordinary cat food and dog food. Thus, they could only starve.
This was the second day of Zhang Zian’s sleep. The elfins’ lives had become a mess. They usually only had to open their mouths when they were hungry. Now they had to wait on him instead.
Affected by low air pressure, the weather was getting hotter and more humid. If one just slept peacefully, it was still fine, but Zhang Zian seemed to be struggling in his dreams. From time to time, he frowned, ground his teeth, and turned over, and his expression was very tense. His forehead was often sweaty.
Yesterday, the elfins had noticed that his lips were dry and cracking. They tried to pour him a glass of water and then let Pi feed him, but because his mouth was shut tight, they spilled more than half a cup of water.
At first, everyone tried to find a solution, but then they’d all said what they wanted to say and tried everything. However, Zhang Zian never woke up. Richard even put a fart next to his nose, expecting to wake him up. Alas, this was still a failure.
Galaxy had been lying on the edge of the bed, sleeping like him, but it slept very quietly.
The clerk took care of the cleaning on the first floor and did not notice any abnormalities, at least for the time being.
Zhang Zian’s cell phone rang several times. It was someone who wanted to discuss the countermeasures against the bug plague with him. Richard responded to both of them, disguising his voice.
Grandma Gu also came to the door to find him. She spoke with the clerk only to find out that he’d gone out. She left regretfully and complained quietly about why Zhang Zian had chosen to go out suddenly and at this time.
The elfins had finished all the countermeasures that they could think of, and then they went silent. They stayed quietly on the second floor, lying down or getting up and lying back down due to the anxiety in their hearts.
When Zhang Zian was around, they were never so bored. He would bicker with Richard and Snowy Lionet for a while, and then he’d boil water for Old Time Tea. After being instructed by Fina for a while, he would take time to play hide-and-seek with Galaxy. In those rare moments when he got to sit down and take a break for a while, he sat at the desk to help Pi check for any typos and see if his sentences flowed…
Famous and Sihwa were relatively satisfied with themselves and did not need him for much companionship. However, as Famous’ manager, he had to deal with people in the film industry, reading the scripts they sent and the contracts for shooting. Sihwa had used his identity to sign up on the live broadcast platform, so he also had to discuss commercial cooperation with the live broadcast platform, and he would report these to them.
The only elfin that didn’t need him to worry was Vladimir, though…
On the windowsill, Vladimir, looking bored, suddenly stood up and said, “What the hell! I know this gang is up to no good…”
It looked back at Famous and changed its words. “I know that this white dog can’t be trusted! It’s only been a few days, and it now wants to tear up the armistice agreement and launch an attack again!”
The other elfins didn’t know what was going on. They jumped on the windowsill and turned to look outside. They saw a white dog sneaking around the walls. It was wandering around the buildings, looking at the surrounding buildings as if looking for a pet shop.
They didn’t know the dog, but having heard Vladimir and Zhang Zian’s talked about it, they guessed it was the elf opposing Vladimir.
Stray dogs and stray cats have signed a temporary armistice agreement under the assistance of Zhang Zian, stating that before the problem of insect pests is resolved, stray dogs will not step into the coastal city again. However, the threat of insect pests still exists. Why then, Is it coming here again?
Old Time Tea advised, “Don’t worry, it seems to be here alone. Listen to what it has to say and make a decision later.”
Vladimir saw that as well. The other party did not seem to want to fight. However, because Zhang Zian was asleep, he was worried that the white dog was very anxious to find someone to fight with so that he could vent his anger.
“What are you doing? Here to spy on our army?” he shouted from the window.
Little White heard the sound and looked up. He said in a deep voice, “I have something to say.”
Vladimir saw that the other elfins had no objections, and he waved his paws. “Then come up. I will not forgive you if you dare play any tricks!”
Little White had quietly entered the city this time around. While people were busy dealing with caterpillars and could not bother with stray dogs, it had come alone to negotiate.
It saw no one nearby. It first jumped on the roof of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV and then jumped onto the windowsill.
Before it spoke, it looked through the room, and it couldn’t help but feel a little stressed.
It had thought that Vladimir was the only one up here. It hadn’t expected that there were so many elfins in such a small house, and each elfin seemed difficult to get along with. The most troublesome of all was that a lot of them were cats…
There was also a dog, but that dog obviously did not care much about Little White’s appearance. It merely looked up and glanced at him before looking down at Zhang Zian on the bed again with a concerned expression.
“If you want to break into our army and then divide us, then I advise you to dispel this thought,” Vladimir warned. “We have allowed you to enter the house as a form of greatest goodwill. Let me first ask why you did not comply with the armistice agreement and made unauthorized access to Binhai City?”
Little White snorted. “I have not obeyed the armistice agreement? It is obvious that you are the ones that did not obey,” it replied. “Did you not say that you would come every day to count the garbage? Now, my brothers have been hungry for two days, so hungry that their eyes are red. I have tried my best to persuade them not to worry and that I will come to negotiate with you. Instead, you’re saying that we have not abided by the agreement? You cannot smear others in such a manner!”
The stray dogs had been in a bad situation for the past two days. They had been accustomed to getting clean dog food and chicken drumsticks. They’d suddenly lost this food supply and could only go to the garbage dump to find food, causing great resistance and almost mutiny…
This was the so-called insufficiency of strong-man leadership with a reward system. After all, they had followed Little White because he could provide them with good food and good water. This was unlike the stray cats, who were held together by a common belief.
The stray dogs had tasted the sweetness of picking up waste. However, now, no one was helping to recycle the rubbish that they’d been working hard on for two days. No matter how much they picked up, they could only head back to the garbage dump to fill their stomachs. Such differences in treatment. What dog could bear it?
