Chapter 264: Alpaca
Chapter 264: Alpaca
Jiang Ning listened but didn’t take it to heart.
Regardless of who comes, one person takes the blame, and two people profit.
Walking the dog at the doorstep, the security patrol team happened to pass by. The captain stopped to say hello, “Miss Jiang, your family hasn’t registered the homeowner information yet. If you have time, please come to the guard booth to take photos and input the information into the computer.”
In addition, he also gave the frequency channel of the walkie-talkie to the guard on duty at the booth. If homeowners need help, they can communicate promptly by opening the channel.
Jiang Ning agreed, appreciating the good attitude.
With drastically different attitudes, Huo Yishen was worried there might be something fishy. “I’ll go gather information first and then decide.”
Jiang Ning had no objections. “Be careful.”
A trip that shouldn’t have taken more than 15 minutes took Huo Yishen half an hour.
Jiang Ning was puzzled. “Why did it take so long?”
“The procedures were quickly handled, and I didn’t notice anything unusual about them. I also took a walk around the villa before coming back.”
There were people observing in secret, but they were clearly more restrained than before.
Without any surprises, the building 50 became famous in one battle.
Not only people, but also pets, needed to be registered in the system.
Huo Yishen wasn’t comfortable with Jiang Ning taking the two out alone. “I’ll accompany you.”
When taking photos, Jiang Ning didn’t forget to make the two look prettier.
The three of them, along with the dog, went out to the guard booth to complete the entry and exit procedures.
Halfway there, they met the patrol security team. Someone in the team suddenly exclaimed, “Captain Huo, Miss Jiang?”
The patrol team wore uniform uniforms, looking particularly spirited.
Jiang Ning was stunned. “Yang Jie?”
The son of Yang Weimin, who used to be a member of the Aoyuan. They unexpectedly met in this way.
Yang Jie requested to step aside, and the captain allowed it.
“How come you’re working here?”
Yang Jie replied happily, “Not just me, several others also came from Aoyuan, and they work opposite shifts with me.”
Thanks to Huo Yishen’s selfless teaching, the students he personally trained were all skilled.
After moving to the new city, they hadn’t found suitable jobs temporarily. Yang Jie had originally wanted to apply to become a public security patrol officer, but by chance, he saw that Guangming Community was also recruiting, and the conditions were very attractive.
Captain He analyzed that Guangming Community had fewer activities but more resources. Safety was guaranteed during the polar day, so he suggested they give it a try.
A total of eight people were interviewed. Aside from providing meals and accommodation, they also received 10 kilograms of rice or flour every month.
They hadn’t eaten rice or flour at home for many years.
Yang Jie cherished this hard-won job opportunity, especially since he could meet Captain Huo and Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning asked, “Is Captain He doing well?”
“He’s okay. The new neighbors on the fifth and sixth floors are easy to communicate with. We’ve installed a solar generator on the rooftop and set up a shed to grow potatoes and vegetables.
Oh, the municipal department came to find Captain He, asking him to work for the government department. They give out transaction tokens every month, which can be used to buy supplies.
Captain He initially refused, but the municipal people came several times, and he finally agreed to take the job, and it seems his position isn’t low.”
After several rounds of natural disasters, the number of staff in relevant departments had decreased sharply. Captain He was indeed a talented person, and with his long-term dealings with higher-ups, it wasn’t surprising he was recruited.
People with such strong determination as him were worthy of benefiting more survivors.
Jiang Ning’s admiration for him surged.
After a brief chat, Yang Jie hurried back to his team, while Jiang Ning went to the guard booth.
With new people came a new atmosphere, and this group of people was noticeably more polite.
Registering names and room numbers, taking photos for records, the process was completed in just a few minutes.
After coming out, they took the dog for a walk.
Green belts began to plant saplings, including wildflowers and grass, to restore the land’s vitality as soon as possible.
At Building 36, there was a birthday celebration for a socialite, and many handsome men and beautiful women attended, holding a lively pet party.
Corgis, Papillons, Persian cats, British Shorthairs, and… Alpacas.
Coke widened its eyes, as if discovering a new world. With it’s blood awakened, he was somewhat out of control.
However, under Huo Yishen’s touch, it immediately entered police dog mode—mature and stable.
Proudly, with its head held high, it strode forward.
The party was lively, especially when Rong Sanshao appeared. The whole crowd screamed, unaware that the alpaca had walked out of the yard.
As Jiang Ning walked, something suddenly appeared on her face.
Wet, warm.
When she realized what it was, she was petrified.
Immediately after, there were screams like a puppy’s.
The dog had already pounced on the alpaca, biting its leg and tearing at it…
Huo Yishen shouted, “Coke.”
The dog didn’t listen, refusing to release the alpaca’s leg, and blood quickly oozed out.
Jiang Ning hurriedly intervened, “Coke!”
Coke finally let go, but still harbored resentment, lifting its leg and urinating all over the alpaca’s head and face.
The party was interrupted by the alpaca’s cries, and a group of young men and women came out.
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone covered their mouths in shock. “Oh, My God!”
A young girl rushed over, holding her bag, wanting to hit the dog. “Meimei.”
The dog dodged and bared its teeth at her, its leg!
Jiang Ning intervened again, “Coke, come back.”
Coke returned to her side, but her vigilance remained unabated.
The girl cursed Jiang Ning, “Are you crazy? Walking your dog without a leash, letting it injure my Meimei.
My Meimei has a precious pedigree, a foreign pet brought over from abroad. It’s not something you commoners can afford to raise. Do you know how much more valuable its life is than yours?”
Seeing Jiang Ning dressed in ordinary sportswear, she became even more outspoken. “If something happens to Meimei, your whole family won’t be enough to compensate…”
Heartbroken to see her beloved pet injured, she slapped Jiang Ning without hesitation. “The kind of master raises the kind of dog. Can you afford the compensation?”
Huo Yishen reached out to stop her, but Jiang Ning was faster than him. Without waiting for her to strike, she slapped back.
The girl was caught off guard and was slapped to the ground heavily. “Ah!”
“Firstly, I did have the dog on a leash. You didn’t see it because you’re blind. Secondly, your alpaca spat at me first, and my dog only bit it after that.”
Jiang Ning stared coldly at her. “If your alpaca is so noble, why didn’t you tie it around its neck and let it spit at people at will? My life might be cheap, but it’s not as cheap as yours.”
Alpacas spitting is an animal’s stress response.
And while it’s a dog’s nature to protect its owner, it did indeed over-defend this time.
There’s no absolute right or wrong in this matter; both sides should understand each other, and Jiang Ning could even compensate for medical expenses.
Wow, she attacked without distinguishing right from wrong and even resorted to physical violence. If she wasn’t taught a lesson, it would be a bit unfair.
It’s been three years since the apocalypse. Who still plays the game of who’s more noble? Who cares!
The girl, embarrassed, got up and continued to shout, “What evidence do you have to say that Meimei spat at you?”
Jiang Ning instantly got angry, grabbed her collar and lifted her up, wiped her face with her hand, and then wiped her mouth. “You want evidence? Smell it properly!”
The alpaca’s saliva wasn’t just saliva; it was a mixture of grass and saliva from its stomach. The smell of this saliva was very strong.
The strange smell hit her nostrils, and the girl instantly retched.
Just as she was about to push her away, when Jiang Ning saw her facial features clearly, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
This face looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
