After the driver spoke of the incident at the waste recycling station, he told Zhang Zian again not to tell anyone else.

For one, it was easy to see that this driver’s mouth was rather loose and would talk after some coaxing. The others probably weren’t any better. It was estimated that this matter had spread over the vicinity.

It was hard to distinguish fact from fiction from what they said. It might’ve been somewhat exaggerated. The driver described the sick person as very powerful. According to him, the person who was scratched was almost killed. However, it may have not been so exaggerated after all. The sick person only exerted so much force because he was unaware of what was happening. Additionally, the injured person would not have been easily pushed down like Pan Jinlian. It was more likely that he fell from being frightened.

After the driver finished speaking, he glanced at Little White next to him and unpredictably moved his steps away from him.

Along with the speculation that Huang Daxian was angered, some of the elders in the countryside said that those people met a particularly evil dog in the night a few days ago since black dogs were evil. However, they encountered a white dog, so they changed it and said that a white dog was worse. It was unclear exactly how evil the dog was, but the story could’ve become quite chilling once people began talking about it.

The driver saw that Little White was similar to the white dog they described. Knowing that the careful boat could stay sailing for ten thousand years, it was better to stay away from him.

Zhang Zian asked a few more questions but the driver’s knowledge was limited. He could only answer with hearsay or repeatedly say the same few lines. The more he spoke of it, the more absurd the issue seemed. He even said that Huang Daxian’s nest was in the field near the waste recycling station.

“Well, there’s nothing else for me to do. Go get to work. I’ll go buy two boxes of Sprite,” Zhang Zian nodded.

“Just buy one box for us and place the other one under my driver’s seat for my son,” the driver whispered.

“Okay, got it.”

While waiting for the driver to finish counting the number of empty bottles, Little White said, “Why should I pay for two boxes of Sprites? They should just deduct it from the balance of the scrap.”

Zhang Zian didn’t dispute over such a small price, just like the northerners who rushed to pay the check after eating. Instead, he turned to ask Vladimir, “Will something else in Binhai City become a demon again?”

Vladimir raised his fist indifferently and said, “Come what may! I’ll beat one if one comes, strike two if two comes!”

“I mean, are there any signs?” He added.

Vladimir shook his head, “I don’t know, but I will send out a cat to investigate.”

Zhang Zian said to Little White again. “The description of the person just now doesn’t sound like rabies but wasn’t accurate either. We may have not understood what he just said, but we must be prepared to prevent rabies. Even if it is not rabies, it may be an infectious disease. Your stray dogs will likely suffer from some strange diseases all day long, so they should pay more attention to their hygiene from now on. Once you see a dog in bad condition, immediately isolate it. ”

Little White nodded.

“Stray cats should also be vigilant. Rabies can be transmitted without distinction between cats and dogs,” Zhang Zian also reminded Vladimir.

Vladimir smiled indifferently. “It doesn’t matter. When strange stray cats meet, they will make the secret signal. If both sides can match the code, then that would mean they’re both safe. Tell the stupid dogs to be more careful!”

It was now clear that whether it was rabies or this strange disease, using a secret signal to judge a patient’s mental state was safer than close contact.

“Isn’t it just a password? What’s the big deal?” Little White sniffled. “We stray dogs can also have a secret password, right?”

With that, he called his aide to his side and gave it a secret sign. It did not deliberately hide from Zhang Zian and Vladimir since they couldn’t understand them anyway.

Little White said to the dogs with a serious face, “From today onwards, if you meet any stray dogs you don’t know, you have to confirm with them this secret sign before getting in touch. Even if you know them, you have to show it this password before getting closer, understand? ”

Some of the dogs barked a few times. Although they didn’t understand Little White’s intention, they would execute the order faithfully.

“As for the secret code …” Little White thought about it, raised his left paw and stretched it outward, and said, “Potato! Potato! I am a sweet potato!”

Zhang Zian was at a loss for words.

They look at it, stretch their left paws out and barked a few times. This secret code was realistic and pleasing to the ear!

“Again, this is the secret code: Potato! Potato! I am a sweet potato!” Little White repeated himself.

After repeated exercises with the stray dogs, they have learned it. From there, they had to give the same instructions to the other stray dogs.

Meanwhile, Zhang Zian unloaded the dog food and chicken thighs, then drove to the nearest store, bought two boxes of Sprite, and quietly stuffed one of them into the driver’s seat of the truck.

The workers who counted the empty bottles sometimes noticed the strange behavior of these dogs. They tried to continue counting but would forget where they were and had to count again.

After counting, Zhang Zian invited everyone to drink Sprite, limiting each person to a few cans.

The driver checked the quantity with Zhang Zian, and the payment was transferred. The quantity was similar to the stray dog statistics with only a single-digit difference, which was within the range allowed by the error. At least he could tell that this group was relatively honest.

After leaving the truck carrying the empty bottles, Zhang Zian’s cell phone rang. The caller was Lu Yiyun.

“What’s wrong, Xiaoyun?” He asked.

The shop assistants knew that he has been tinkering with scrap recently, so there must’ve been something important. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called.

There seemed to be an unfamiliar male voice in the background. It was still early, so there usually weren’t many customers at this time.

She whispered, “Mr. Store Manager, how much longer will it be until you come back? There’s a salesman in the store who won’t leave until he sees you …”

“Salesman? What is he promoting? Insurance? Credit card? Micro-loan? Fitness card? Whatever it is, can Wang Qian and Li Kun just get him to leave?” he replied.

“No, it’s for dog food,” she replied.

Dog food…

He then remembered that a couple came to the shop to show affection and then realized that they may have gotten the wrong place.

“Real dog food?”

“Yes.”

He thoughtfully looked at the stray dogs who were lining up for dog food. The daily consumption of dog food was very large. Although he and the manufacturers have tried their best to get close to the wholesale price, it was better to have cheaper dog food.

“What brand of dog food?” He asked.

“Um… I don’t know. It seems to be an American brand, and the packaging is completely written in English,” she said.

Lu Yiyun had long been obsessed with painting and wasn’t as good with English. It was also unreliable to depend on Wang Qian and Li Kun, who needed to take makeup exams for English even up until fourth grade.

“Okay, I’ll come back right away. Let him wait for a little.”

Zhang Zian told Little White that he was leaving and drove back to the pet store with Vladimir.
