Before anyone could say anything, the sharp-eyed Xiao Guan had already recognized the animal before everyone else and exclaimed: “Pig!”
The man was holding the same animal that escaped from the cage yesterday. The eagle-gray guinea pig was covered in blood. It was half-wrapped in an old blanket as it half-raised its eyes feebly.
This was the first time since they had opened a pet store that they encountered such a seriously injured pet. A group of people quickly gathered around, not even paying attention to what the person looked like.
“Why is Piggy like this?”
“Quick, put it down, let’s take a look!”
The injured pig was placed on the table, and one of the therapists came to treat it. Although Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind was not a pet hospital, it did sell emergency medicines, and the therapists also had relevant qualifications, so it was not a problem to simply stop the bleeding.
Upon inspection, it was found that its wounds were all skin injuries, very small, which looked scary, but did not cause any damage to the muscles or bones. It would definitely be very painful if there were enough superficial injuries, so the therapist applied painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to it to prevent it suffering from fever and infection.
There were too many people watching, and Xu Maomao couldn’t get close, but he could tell that the pig was in good condition through subtle energy fluctuations, so he secretly felt relieved and lay aside to stare, puzzled as to why this rat spirit was so injured.
Professional staff were treating the pig, while Shen Yu focused on the visitor. When he shifted his gaze to his face, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
This man had an ordinary appearance, a face with no memorable features, except for the heavy dark circles under his eyes and the swollen upper eyelids. Shen Yu couldn’t read faces, but this man’s appearance made him feel uncomfortable, and a strange and disgusting feeling came over him.
The man didn’t look at him, his triangular eyes only stared closely at Xu Maomao who was lying beside him, revealing an undetectable light. Seeing that the cat was well-behaved, quiet, and seemingly docile, he boldly reached out and touched it.
Snap.
A roll of paper hit the man’s hand.
Shen Yu said expressionlessly: “Don’t touch my cat.” He didn’t even want to touch the man’s skin, and directly hit his hand with a dozen rolls of paper.
The man’s movements froze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but Shen Yu’s expression made him shudder even more. Although the other person was indifferent, his momentum could not be ignored.
The man could only shrink his hands, his small triangular eyes wandering, as he said: “Sorry, I saw how cute it was, so I just wanted to touch it…”
Shen Yu snorted coldly, holding Xu Maomao in his arms: “You take care of your own pet and stop worrying about others. That guinea pig is recovering from his injuries. Why don’t you go and see it?”
The Ragdoll cat raised its head in confusion. Its shit shoveler has always been gentle to others and would never make sarcastic comments easily. What happened?
Xu Maomao was puzzled. Normally, he would not miss the opportunity to show off his cuteness in front of others – for the sake of love value. But when facing this person, he had no intention of trying to please him at all. The person said he was cute, but he didn’t get any love points at all.
Animals were relatively sensitive. Even without the help of the bell, Xu Maomao could intuitively judge that he definitely did not have much kindness towards him.
Faced with Shen Yu’s question, the man suddenly fell silent, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes. He retracted his hand, but still did not look away, his eyes showing a hint of greed.
This bit of greed was caught by Shen Yu, and he immediately narrowed his eyes and felt something flashing through his mind, but it was gone too fast to catch.
Xiao Guan came over with red eyes and asked: “Sir, how did your guinea pig get injured? Yesterday it came to our store to play. We fed it a little food. We originally wanted to keep it in a cage and wait for the owner to pick it up, but it turned out that the surveillance in the middle of the night showed that a group of rats rescued it.” Perhaps because she was afraid that he would not believe it, Xiao Guan also took the initiative and said: “We have surveillance, and we definitely did not abuse your pig.”
Xiao Guan’s recklessness was obvious to all, but she was very diligent and enthusiastic, so Shen Yu didn’t fire her, but now he couldn’t help but curse secretly: This pig!
Sure enough, the next second, the man raised his eyebrows and used the topic as an excuse.
“It turns out it was you who did it. You didn’t take good care of it and let it be bitten by a mouse!” The man said, “My pig is free-range. I usually let it eat and play outside. It then comes home by itself at night. It turns out you locked it up so it couldn’t come back on time.”
“You, why are you like this!” Xiao Guan was angry: “These injuries are not bites at all, they are cut by sharp objects!”
“I don’t care about that, I used to raise it free-range! It was always okay. But it’s like this as soon as you caught it. The responsibility lies with you.”
When the others heard this, they all came over to argue with him. This man was ignorant and refused to listen to their explanation at all. He stubbornly said that his free-range breeding method was correct, and their mistake was that they closed the pig yesterday.
God knows that animals like guinea pigs had been completely domesticated, and their fragile stomachs could not adapt to life in the wild. It was wrong to raise them free range. It was a miracle that this guinea pig could survive to this day. This feeding method should be corrected immediately.
Shen Yu listened coldly to his clerk’s argument with the man and patted the table gently: “Don’t make any noise.”
Everyone was stunned and fell silent.
“What do you want?” Shen Yu asked expressionlessly, “Are you planning to get involved? I guarantee that the surveillance here will be used as effective evidence to sue you for harassment. Do you want to give it a try?”
The man froze and looked around subconsciously.
“No need to look around, they are everywhere. We will record every word you say next.” Shen Yu said in a mocking tone, “So please weigh your words carefully.”
Xu Maomao and the clerks gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. Shen Yu’s threat was really calm, but very effective.
The man narrowed his eyes and went silent. He really wanted to kill two birds with one stone and extort some money just now, but it was obvious that he could no longer make such a plan, not to mention that his real goal was not money.
His tone weakened: “It’s all a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”
At this time, all the wounds of the guinea pig had been treated, and the therapist carefully picked it up and said, “Its condition is not serious, but it needs to be cared for, for a period of time, otherwise it will not recover well.”
The man frowned: “I don’t have time to take care of it. Don’t you have a health care center here?”
Oh, he turned out to be targeting this health center.
Xiao Guan said angrily: “If you don’t want to raise the Piggy, we also have a pet rescue station that specializes in taking care of abandoned animals.”
Shen Yu raised his hand to stop her from speaking rudely, and said coldly: “Okay, go to the front desk to go through the formalities.”
It could check into the nursing center. There were indicators that this guinea pig was indeed qualified to move in based on its current condition after all. Xiao Guan angrily handled business for the man.
After signing and paying a very small amount of money, the man was very indifferent to the pig he had brought in, but he kept trying to get close to Xu Maomao again and again.
But due to Shen Yu’s presence beside him, with his cold eyes, the man’s movements were limited to just watching. After trying several times to no avail, he had to give up the idea of petting the cat. It wasn’t until he left Nausicaa that he seemed to remember the pet he had brought with him and went to play with the guinea pig.
The sorghum monster trembled slightly in his hands, because he was touching the metal ring on its hind leg, and the warning was obvious.
“Be good,” the man said this word, but there was no hint of intimacy at all. He whispered, “Within three days.”
The sorghum monster said, “Hey.”
Before leaving the store, he looked at Shen Yu reluctantly. His expression was cold, and the cat in his arms was sleeping peacefully. His eyes greedily roamed around its neck before he stepped out of the door.
Not far away, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. The weather had been bad and gloomy recently, which made him very anxious. He took out a few things from his bag and seemed to be calculating something.
Shen Yu’s cold face appeared in front of his eyes. After a moment, his face turned pale, dripping with cold sweat, and he did not dare to stay nearby anymore.
