Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 138 Men with kind hearts are always lucky.
“Something happened in Xiao Huang’s family. His wife was diagnosed with cancer, and it’s stage two.”

The old man found a handcart from somewhere and helped Huang Qi put the cardboard box containing the medicine and the sick dog on it. As he followed Huang Qi to his pet hospital, he explained, "He used to be in the second-hand steel building materials business, and it was pretty good. He doted on this dog, having raised it for many years. But with such a big thing happening, how could he care about anything else? He sold everything easy to sell in the factory, laid off the workers, and threw all the money into this bottomless pit of cancer."

"So you're willing to risk the dog's life to save your wife, right?"

Huang Qi snorted disdainfully, looking down at the old dog that was over ten years old: "No matter how busy you are, you wouldn't forget about a dog's life or death, would you? Humph! To put it bluntly, you just abandoned it. After all, it's just a dog's life."

The old man shook his head and smiled: "Hehe... You can't say that. After all, when you're really busy with illness, it's easy to overlook things. Besides, he has two children to take care of, and he has to take care of both his wife and the children. How can he possibly manage everything?"

"He could have just untied the chain. What's the point of this?"

Huang Qi was still unhappy, and turned to the old man, saying, "Uncle, how did you get a key to his house? Could this little Huang be your son?"

"We're neighbors, and I never expected this to happen. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let this dog suffer like this."

The old man wasn't angry; he simply let go and stopped helping push the cart, leaving Huang Qi to climb the hill alone, grumbling in frustration.

Huang Qi was surprised that the old man would let go so easily. Speechless, he put in another effort and soon he was covered in sweat.

Lingo lazily squatted on the cardboard box, listening to the two talking while wagging and rubbing his tail against the old dog's nose.

The old dog wasn't angry; it just dozed off with its eyes half-closed. Occasionally, when its tail rubbed against it, it would lazily open its mouth slowly, trying to scare Lin Ge into retracting its tail.

At that speed, how could he possibly catch the cat?
Lin Ge became even more aggressive in bullying him.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a docile dog. In fact, apart from Beibei, only this old dog would not bark loudly at the cat, which annoyed the cat.

Halfway there, the old man had already tested the ingredients in the astragalus root and then turned around and went to the city's central hospital with peace of mind.

Regarding the dog, Xiao Huang still needs to be properly reprimanded.

The rest of the way was uphill, leaving Huang Qi panting heavily. Seeing Lin Ge still lazily teasing the dog, he stopped helplessly, put his hands on his hips, and said, "You stinky cat, can't you get down and walk by yourself? Don't you know how heavy you are? You're killing me."

"You're crazy. Why walk when you can ride in a car?"

Lin Ge glared at Huang Qi, then turned away and ignored him.

Helpless, Huang Qi could only silently continue pushing the stroller. Fortunately, they weren't far anymore, and after pushing it for about half an hour, they finally returned to his pet hospital.

Just like the last time I saw it, this little shop still had very little business.

The plush toy is gone, and there are no new customers, but the teddy bear and tabby are still in their cage.

Listening to Huang Qi's mutterings, Lin Ge realized that Teddy was being boarded by a client who brought him over every morning and took him home every evening—a rare long-term arrangement. However, this also meant that the task of walking the dog was now entrusted to Huang Qi, as the client preferred a "virtual pet ownership" approach, keeping everything clean and undisturbed.

As for the tabby cat... Huang Qi himself didn't know whose it was. Anyway, an old man brought it over, dropped some money on it, and left. The old man never came back after that.

One makes money, the other loses money, barely breaking even.

Upon arriving home, Huang Qi, without even greeting Lin Ge, quickly helped the old dog off the cart. She then half-carried, half-dragged it onto the worktable and began treating its skin condition.

Although the dog was in a pitiful state, it was incredibly resilient. Apart from a skin condition that it had somehow developed, slight bruising on its neck, and weakness from prolonged lack of food and water, it had no other health problems.

In other words, as long as it rests and recovers well, it can live a few more years, full of energy and vitality.

With a strange laugh, Huang Qi shaved the old dog's fur clean from top to bottom. The electric clippers, designed for pets, couldn't remove the hardened grease, so he quickly went upstairs from the inner room and retrieved a thin blade with a plastic handle and a protective mesh.

Huang Qi tested the blade with the pad of his thumb and was very satisfied with its sharpness. He chuckled and continued shaving the dog.

"This thing... it shouldn't be for animals, right?"

Lin Ge raised an eyebrow, sensing that the razor blade was something a woman used for makeup. Moreover, it smelled of a woman, indicating it had been used recently—perhaps by Huang Qi's girlfriend?
"How can a guy who runs a run-down hospital, is broke, and smiles at sick dogs like a pervert, actually have a girlfriend?"

Lin Ge felt this was very unreasonable.

However, the tables turned quickly when a girl in pajamas, laughing and rubbing her hair, walked down the railing while holding onto it.

"Huang Qi, have you seen my eyebrow razor? I just bought it a while ago, the Kai one, I had someone buy it for me from Japan..." "No!"

Huang Qi was busy without even looking up; no troublesome woman could compare to a well-behaved and adorable dog.

The girl wasn't angry. She lazily massaged Huang Qi's neck as she came up behind him: "Huang Qi, I'm so tired from writing this novel, give me a massage. Hey? Where did you get this dog again? It's so dirty! Huang Qi, are you running a pet hospital or a stray animal shelter? How many stray animals have you brought home this year? Do you know how many friends I've had to ask to get rid of them? Hey, what's that cat too? And what are you holding in your hand…"

The girl suddenly stopped talking, shuddered, and began to exude a murderous aura.

"Astragalus!"

She gritted her teeth and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Didn't you say you didn't take my eyebrow razor? Then please tell me, what is this thing in your hand!"

"It's okay! I'll wash and disinfect it after I'm done, and I'll return it to you in perfect condition!"

Huang Qi continued to reply casually without looking up, saying that one cannot be distracted when scraping a mange lesion, or one might accidentally scratch the dog.

The girl clenched her fists tightly.

"Kill him! Slaughter him! How can this bastard, this clueless, thick-skinned jerk, still have a girlfriend! And they even live together? You're not worthy of being called a bastard!"

Lin Ge whispered encouragement from behind, signaling to the girl that she could be a little more ruthless.

However, to Lin Ge's disappointment, the girl just sulked silently behind Huang Qi, watching Huang Qi's serious and busy back. After a while, she actually comforted herself.

She sighed, squatted down, and began to help Huang Qi. She helped wipe off the loose fur, applied some kind of lubricant to the old dog's skin, and piled up the messy trash on the ground, doing everything very carefully and without minding the dirt.

Lin Ge could tell that she really loved that bastard Huang Qi!

Although this jerk is broke, his business is stagnant, he sees no future in running this run-down shop, and he's such a clueless straight man who loves cats and dogs but can't even charm a woman...

But...maybe the girl likes his earnest and caring nature?
Lin Ge sighed, feeling it was all rather pointless.

Especially after witnessing Xu's case yesterday, seeing women who lack self-respect by going to nightclubs and bars and then being taken advantage of by scumbags, I feel even more that Huang Qi's girlfriend is truly outstanding.

How can there be such a huge difference between women?
Astragalus is truly blessed.

accurate.

Lin Ge shook his head and left the pet hospital.

But after coming out, there was nowhere to go. Bored, Lin Ge stood at the intersection looking around, trying to find a place to kill time.

He wandered aimlessly, dodging curious onlookers and patiently waiting for the traffic lights. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the back gate of Zhangzhou University, the only university in Zhangzhou.

After entering the school gate, this was the first time Lin Ge had been to this place, but it felt somewhat familiar.

Seeing the vibrant school atmosphere and the happy students protected in their ivory tower made Lin Ge feel even better.

Yeah! The girls are wearing really little too.

The wind was quite strong today. The girls in short skirts endured the cold while protecting their skirts with their hands as they walked forward, and their fair and tender thighs were a feast for Lin Ge's eyes.

"Huh? A cat-like senior?"

A startled exclamation, at least three pluses of sweetness, came from not far away.

I kept my promise and updated 10,000 words every single day since the book was released, earning the "Habitual Burst" badge from Qidian. My next goal is to maintain that "10,000 words per day" badge for thirty consecutive days.

How about giving me some monthly votes to encourage my hard work?
