1427 New Secret Code (1/2)
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!”
