Years later, when retired workers from landfills were pulled by their grandchildren and begged to tell stories, their stories would often begin like this: “It is said that the dogs’ power in the world, after being shared for a long time, had to be separated, and after being separated for a long time, had to be brought back together…”
Privately, when employees talked about this matter, they always shook their heads and sighed. “I didn’t think, I didn’t think…”
Unexpectedly, the one who ended the landfill mess was actually a medium-sized, locally born white dog.
The white dog stood on the stone, and the group of dogs below did not dare to howl loudly. The only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of breathing.
“Brothers—no matter what hatred you had among yourselves before, from now on, we are brothers, anyone who is willing to follow me!” it called out loudly.
The dogs were so excited that they started to bark and howl together. For the first time, they felt that their eldest brother looked upon them highly. They had used to be called back and forth like slaves, and now they were willing to follow this dog with all their hearts.
Hundreds of dogs had gathered together. They were still stray dogs and wild dogs who didn’t know what bathing was. The smell was inconceivable.
The white dog had a headache from the strong smell. Looking at the vast landfill, it could not help showing its disgust when it saw the overwhelming garbage hills and countless mung bean flies buzzing around.
It looked down at the heads of the dogs and said doubtfully, “But what I don’t understand is why my brothers came into this field. There are good rivers and mountains outside, but you don’t want to go there and are instead gathered in this dirty place?”
“Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!”
The stray dogs rushed to answer, and in the end, it became a mess. It could not hear anything clearly.
“Stop shouting! You can come over to speak.”
In the end, the white dog ordered the German shepherd to come over to speak, because the German shepherd’s intelligence was quite high, and it had quite good logic.
The other dogs slowly quieted down.
The German Shepherd came out and complained about its grievances, facing the direction of Binhai City with indignation.
“What? You mean you were bullied by stray cats? And you were even driven to homelessness by stray dogs and could only come here? No, you were all originally homeless.” The white dog was shocked and scolded, “What a group of cowards! Good-for-nothings!”
The stray dogs all lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The wild dogs sniffled disdainfully, which meant: “The boss is right, really. Cowards!”
Of course, the stray dogs were not convinced. They kept a clear distance from the wild dogs. They were barking and scolding each other, which meant: “Why are you guys being so pretentious? If you have the ability to, you can go and try it out! Even if you guys go, you’ll be beaten up and return!”
The wild dogs had looked down on the stray dogs for a long time, and at that time, they had been even more unhappy.
The white dog was pondering. It knew the fighting power of the stray dogs and had experienced it personally. The four leaders were strong, courageous, and resourceful, while the other stray dogs were worse than the four leaders, but at least their physique was there. No matter how bad they were, they were not that bad. How could they be bullied by stray cats so miserably?
There was definitely something off here.
The mastiff felt that the white dog’s eyes had fallen on it. It was also ashamed. It worried that the white dog would scold it for being so big. It rushed out to argue loudly: “Big Brother White! It’s not that this dog doesn’t give enough strength, it’s just that the enemy has a cat bully!”
The white dog was shocked. “A cat bully? What’s that?”
The German shepherd barked and explained that the stray dogs had never paid attention to stray cats before, but one day, the stray cats had changed and become as organized as dogs. They attacked the stray dogs suddenly in many areas of Binhai City, and the stray dogs were defeated. Later, there was a rumor among stray dogs that a cat bully had appeared among the stray cats. The cat bully was clever, cunning, and brave. The reason why the stray cats had succeeded was that they were under the command of the cat bully.
“Oh? That cat bully, what does it look like? Could it have three hands and six limbs?” The white dog laughed coldly, its competitive heart moved.
The German shepherd shook his head. “Few dogs have ever seen the real body of the cat bully. There are rumors that it looks like a mad tiger, with a fierce face, teeth with knives stuffed in between them, sharp claws like beds, wings on its back, a tail like a steel whip, and infinite strength…”
The white dog could no longer listen anymore and cut its description short. “Do you really believe these words with no evidence?”
The German shepherd and the other three leaders looked at each other. They hadn’t seen the cat bully, but they tended to believe the rumors. Otherwise, how could they explain the fact that they had been defeated by stray cats? If the cat bully was actually an ordinary cat, where would that put them?
“So the city over there is called Binhai City?” The white dog raised his forepaw and pointed out the direction of Binhai City. Although you couldn’t see Binhai City from there, the dog’s sense of smell was extremely sensitive. The smell from that direction was extremely complex, which meant that there was a city over there.
The stray dogs scrambled to bark so that they would get approval.
The white dog thought a little and soon got an idea. There was no mistake. The so-called cat bully should be its destined enemy!
This cat was definitely like it, a seemingly ordinary but not ordinary cat!
“Brothers! Are you really willing to continue staying here? Fighting over the rubbish that is not even as good as hogwash every day?” it roared with all its might.
“Woof woof woof! Not willing!”
“Are you willing to die of old age here, to be bullied by stray cats all your life?” it roared again.
“Woof woof woof! Not willing!”
“Then, are you willing to follow me and fight back?” it roared even louder.
The stray dogs missed the days of the past very much. They had lived in the city. Although they had often been threatened by the reigning dogs’ team, they had at least been 100 times more comfortable than they were living in the garbage dump.
They all wanted to go back even in their dreams, but when they thought of going back, they knew they had to face the terrible stray cats, and they couldn’t help but tremble.
But they had a new dog king who was like a god that had come to earth. It would definitely be able to bring them toward success, win over the cat bully, and snatch back the territory they had lost.
“Woof woof! We are willing! We are willing!”
The white dog held up a front paw and waved it vigorously, shouting, “Get rid of the cat bully and restore woof power! Get rid of the cat bully and restore woof power!”
“Woof woof woof woof! Woof woof woof woof!”
The stray dogs and wild dogs, though not really able to understand, were infected by the white dog’s momentum, and they barked furiously as a group.
The white dog hit the iron while it was hot, pointed to the direction of Binhai City, and roared, “Brothers! Starting today, let’s fight hard and recuperate! If they eat our food, we’ll make them spit it out for us! We’ll make them return things that they took from us!”
Its eyes swept over every dog present, and it roared hoarsely: “An inch of Binhai, an inch of blood, 100,000 woof woof 100,000 troops! When everything is ready, my brothers, follow me to counterattack the coastal city!”
The roar of dogs shook the surroundings and even covered up the roar of the tide.
If Zhang Zian had been present, he would surely lament—what the heck, this was another elfin who liked to change famous sayings randomly!
