Around the landfill in the outskirts of Binhai city, there were a few villages scattered around. It was obvious that the smell near the landfill must be terrible. Anyone with a certain amount of financial ability would definitely choose to move. The rest of the people were farmers who lived at the bottom of the social ladder, and they might be relying on government relief for a living.
Even the remote and poor farmers often had dogs at home to guard their homes. Dog food, which had been abandoned by the city people, was like a pie in the sky for these poor farmers. As for the health of the dogs, it was not within their consideration. After all, even their own health was up to fate. How could they care about the dogs?
It was reasonable to say that this dog food should be destroyed in a centralized manner, but due to the restrictions of objective reasons, it could only be piled up here. In the garbage dumps of other cities, there might be one or more similar garbage mountains.
“Then, what do you think we should do with this dog food?” Zhang Zian asked, looking up at the mountain of dog food.”Do you want me to burn all this garbage?”
Incinerating and burying were both effective ways to dispose of garbage, but open-air burning would cause serious air pollution. Moreover, with so much dog food, it had to be doused with gasoline and other combustible materials. If it really burned, it would probably burst into flames and might even attract the fire brigade, which would be a big deal …
The landfill area was too large, and the workers also had priority when dealing with the waste. For the time being, the dog food that could be placed for a long time would not be available. By the time it was their turn, the farmers would have probably stolen all of it.
Xiaobai shook her head.”I don’t know. On the one hand, I don’t want my people to eat these things that may have health risks. On the other hand, those farmers are really quite pitiful. Their clothes are torn and the cars they drive look like they might fall apart at any time … Is there a good way to kill the best of both worlds?”
The gap between the rich and the poor in modern society was getting bigger and bigger. He had not seen the farmers who stole dog food with his own eyes, but he could imagine that they must be unkempt. Otherwise, who would pick things up in the stinky garbage dump?
As for the best of both worlds …
He thought for a moment and said,”I don’t think there’s any precedent of pigs being infected with prion.”
“What do you mean?” Little white didn’t understand because it didn’t participate in the United States trip and didn’t know about prion.
He explained,”for farmers, this dog food can not only be fed to dogs, but also to pigs. It’s definitely faster to gain weight than eating leftovers all day. After all, the raw material of this dog food contains a lot of protein, which is better than any pig feed … And the most important thing is that it won’t infect pigs.”
“So, you’re saying that farmers are encouraged to pick up dog food and feed it to pigs, not dogs?” Xiaobai seemed to understand.
“Yes,”
Zhang Zian went around and picked up a few pieces of slightly clean wooden boards and cardboard, then wrote a few lines with the marker in the car. He hung or inserted them around the garbage mountain, saying,”Poisonous dog food can be fed to pigs, but it’s strictly forbidden to feed dogs.
“Will this work?” Little white was a little suspicious. In the dark of the night, the farmers might not be able to see these words clearly, and even if they could, they might not care.
“I’ll need you and the stray dogs to help.”
Zhang Zian picked up a bag of damaged dog food and threw away the remaining dog food.”You can hear the sound of the farmers driving in advance. Then, you can act out a play. Fill an empty bag with ordinary dog food sent by me or suspect Y. When the farmers arrive at the scene, you will eat in front of them, and then pretend to be very uncomfortable, rolling on the ground, foaming at the mouth, wailing … In short, you can be as scary as you want. When the farmers see this scene, you can’t help but be shocked. If they see these warnings again, they’ll probably believe it at least 80%.”
Vladimir nodded in agreement.”Not bad! The peasants must be able to understand and understand it. A play that is close to that of the workers, peasants, and soldiers is a good play!”
“Of course, after you pretend to be in pain, you have to run away with difficulty. You can’t lie on the spot and pretend to be dead. Otherwise, if the farmers check your breathing and heartbeat, they will find out that you are pretending, and all our efforts will be in vain …”
Zhang Zian added. In fact, there was also an unspoken meaning that if Youyou played dead on the spot, she might be taken home to cook hot pot …
Little white thought about it a little and felt that this method was feasible. Not only could it protect the dogs raised by the farmers from being poisoned by poisonous dog food to a certain extent, but it could also give the farmers some benefits. It was not difficult to send a few stray dogs here every night to act. What’s more, the stray dogs in charge of acting would have supper to eat. It could be said to be the best of three.
“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.”
Finally, they could leave the landfill. Zhang Zian stood there for a while, and the smell made him dizzy. He also noticed that the flies seemed to be attracted by the smell of Vladimir’s wound. They were always hovering above its head, waiting for the opportunity to land on it, making it constantly twist its body.
Returning to the woods, Zhang Zian strolled to check the workmanship and quality of the wooden shed. The stray dogs might not remember his appearance, but they all remembered his smell and surrounded him enthusiastically. He used to come with a lot of dog food every time, which made them form a conditioned reflex.
He noticed that little white seemed to have separated the adult stray dogs into male and female, each living in a different wooden shed, and the number of little milk dogs waiting to be fed was fewer than he had expected. It seemed that little white had realized that it couldn’t allow the stray dogs to reproduce indefinitely. Otherwise, they would always be running around for food, and the sudden increase in the number of stray dogs would also attract the fear of nearby humans.
Perhaps one day in the future, stray cats and dogs would find a better home. Before that, it was better to maintain a peaceful state with humans.
While Zhang Zian was wandering around the wooden shed area, little white walked up to Vladimir, stared at it, and said,””You gave me a look just now. Do you have something to say to me in private?”
“You’re done with your acting?” Vladimir asked.
“Today is the first time. I’ll demonstrate it myself.” Xiaobai answered simply,”you didn’t call me here alone to talk about this, right?”
Vladimir’s expression was grave.”In the United States, I was ambushed by the enemy and was injured. He almost lost his life in the United States.”
Xiaobai listened attentively.
“You can’t blame anyone else for being ambushed, you can only blame my carelessness. This injury is a good thing. It made me understand that there are more terrible enemies in the shadows, and you and I … No, it should be said that between stray cats and stray dogs, there is an internal conflict between stray pets, so I propose to suspend the confrontation between us indefinitely until the external problems are solved. ” Vladimir said.
Xiaobai was silent for a moment.”Although I’m more inclined to resist foreign aggression, with the insect disaster as a precedent, I think there’s no harm in cooperating temporarily … But from what you’ve said, do you mean that even us stray dogs can’t stay out of it?”
“I don’t know, but I suggest you make a backup plan. For example, if you suddenly disappear, get injured, or even die, a contingency plan in such a situation.” Vladimir said pointedly.
Little white was shocked, because this was the biggest weakness of the stray dogs at present. It relied on its prestige to maintain unity. Once it lost its command ability for various reasons … The stray dogs would probably fall apart.
It had always thought that there was still a lot of time to solve this problem, and perhaps the time was not as abundant as it had imagined.
