The craftsmen packed up their tools and went outside the county town to begin preparing to build a warehouse.

Ever since they started working for the Tian family, they have never stopped their work.

Wages have also increased twice.

I originally thought that the house would be broken up after it was built, but I didn’t expect it to come back to life.

The family is preparing for Lele and Aqi’s first birthday, and Tian Youyou doesn’t need to help.

I also wanted to take a couple of days off and spend time with my parents and my younger siblings.

Unexpectedly, the day before the birthday, Manager Xie arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Miss Tian, ​​something happened."

Tian Youyou frowned subconsciously, "What happened?"

Since Manager Xie is here, something must have happened in Nuantianxia.

But...the previous rumor has just been resolved, what is going on this time?

"Yes..." Shopkeeper Xie gestured anxiously, "Yes...there is something wrong with the goods."

"The Ceiling Butcher Shop won't supply us anymore?"

Only the Tianpeng Butcher Shop had a unified supply of goods. When there was a problem with the goods, Tian Youyou immediately thought of the problem with the butcher shop.

Shopkeeper Xie waved his hands repeatedly, "No, it's not that they don't supply us with goods."

"Yes, they have no more goods for us."

"They, their goods..."

“Those pigs they had, the pigs were all sick.”

"All of them are dying."

"Their shopkeeper said that he couldn't supply us with such sick pigs."

"So, so..."

"Where is Yan Yao?" Tian Youyou asked again.

"Yan Yao has gone to the homes of the surrounding people to look for goods." Manager Xie finally caught his breath.

"But ordinary people can't keep more than a few pigs at home, and they won't last long."

"He's still trying to figure it out. I was afraid something might happen, so I came to you."

Raising pigs is different from raising chickens and ducks.

A piglet is very expensive, and many ordinary people cannot afford it.

Tianpeng Meat Shop has a special pig farm that can raise hundreds of pigs.

They have five or six pig farms in Cizhou Prefecture.

What’s strange is that this time, accidents occurred at five or six pig farms at the same time.

"What are the symptoms of the pigs in trouble?" Tian Youyou asked.

Manager Xie replied, "Yan Yao went to check. The pigs had fever, were weak, refused to eat, and had red spots on their bodies."

“I suspect it’s swine fever.”

Tian Youyou straightened her face and said, "What do you mean it's suspected to be swine fever? It is swine fever!"

"Has swine fever occurred in several pig farms near Tianpeng Meat Shop?" she asked again.

Shopkeeper Xie nodded, "Yes, but each situation is different."

This is strange.

It is understandable that a Zhuangzi would get swine fever.

The simultaneous occurrence of swine fever in several villages has made people suspicious...

This is not a coincidence, it is man-made!!!

Tian Youyou thought about it solemnly. Tomorrow is Lele and Aqi’s first birthday, but this happened at this critical moment. It seems that she can’t stay at home to celebrate the anniversary with them.

Turning back into the house, Tian Youyou told Tian Shounian and Jiang Xiuxiu about the emergency.

"Youyou, you'd better go to the provincial capital as soon as possible." Tian Shounian and Jiang Xiuxiu immediately expressed their opinions.

"LeLe and Aqi are only celebrating their first birthday, and we are here."

"Go and solve the problem quickly."

Tian Shounian also reminded, "Youyou, you must pay special attention. Those sick pigs must not be eaten by the people."

If people eat these sick pigs, they might get sick again.

This is not just about money, it's about human life.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry."

"Then I will go to the capital city."

"I'll come back when things are settled."

He left the house, hitched up the ox cart, and drove out...

Tian Shounian and Jiang Xiuxiu chased out, but all they saw was a back.

"This kid..." Jiang Xiuxiu glanced at Tian Shounian, "I don't know who this impatient kid resembles."

Tian Shounian smiled and said, "Looks like you."

"You're good at what you do, hehe."

When Jiang Xiuxiu heard this, she rolled her eyes again.

On the way, Tian Youyou was still asking Manager Xie, "Have you asked the people at Tianpeng Butcher Shop when these pigs became sick?"

"It had been four or five days before I came."

"Now, it's seven or eight days."

The outbreak period of swine fever is only about ten days.

In other words, they had to hurry to the capital, otherwise the pigs would be gone.

"We have to get there as soon as possible."

"It has to be before all the pigs get sick."

"Eh?" Shopkeeper Xie turned his head to look at her.

"Ms. Tian, ​​can you still save those pigs?" The wind was strong, so Manager Xie could only raise his voice.

Tian Youyou nodded. As long as she could get there before the pigs died, the spiritual spring water should be able to save them.

Another important reason is... we have to leave the pig alive.

It was difficult to investigate the previous rumors because there were so many people involved.

But if the target is a pig... maybe it can be found.

In order to hurry, Tian Youyou traveled day and night. When she arrived at the largest farm of Tianpeng Meat Shop, her legs were weak and she almost knelt down on the ground.

Fortunately, Zhaocai got under her in time and supported her.

"Youyou, be careful." Zhaocai rubbed against her.

"Don't worry, we'll go ask those stupid pigs now."

Swine fever cannot be transmitted to dogs, Tian Youyou nodded.

While Shopkeeper Xie wasn't paying attention, she fed some spiritual spring water into Zhaocai's mouth, "and then spit it into the trough where the pigs eat."

Then he fed Wangcai, Laicai and Xiaojin as well.

A few little kids ran into the village with their mouths pouting.

When the manager of the manor heard that the manager of Nuantianxia had arrived, he came out quickly.

"Manager Tian." The manager looked apologetic, "I'm so sorry, our pigs..."

Tian Youyou held up her hand and said, "Manager, let's go in and talk."

"Can you prepare something to eat for me?" She was really hungry.

"Okay, Manager Tian, ​​please."

Zhaocai brought a few little ones to the pig pen.

The pen is divided into square fences, each of which contains about ten pigs.

"Wow...hmm." Zhaocai was so excited to see so many pigs that he was about to cheer, but the spiritual spring water in his mouth flowed out, so he quickly closed his mouth.

It winked at its brothers, and they split up into several groups...

Pass the spiritual spring water in your mouth into the trough of these pigs.

They knew that the spiritual spring water was very effective, so they only dripped one or two drops into each feeding trough.

"Fuck." The pigs in the pen were in an uproar.

"What are you stinking dogs doing?"

"What did you spit into our food?"

"Do you want us to eat your saliva?"

"We are saving you, idiots." Zhaocai mumbled unclearly with water in his mouth.

"Fuck, these stinking dogs dare to provoke us."

"Brothers, beat them!!!"

The pig began to bang against the fence, ready to come out and fight with Zhaocai.

They are pigs, domestic pigs, born to be eaten by humans.

Forget it.

Now...even dogs dare to provoke them!

Zhaocai led the little guys to continue to release the spiritual spring water, until dozens of fences were reached, and then they were able to free their mouths.

But when they turned around, they saw pigs looking at them viciously with bared teeth.

"What do you want to do?" Zhaocai stood in front of his brothers.

Xiao Jin stood beside it, not willing to be outdone, and waited for the pigs together.

"You make us eat your saliva, so of course we are going to beat you up!!!" the leading pig gritted his teeth.

As pigs, they usually eat swill, which is stained with human saliva!!!

Now, you want to eat dog's saliva? ! ! !

Absolutely not!

Without the spiritual spring water in your mouth, your luck-attracting lip service will slip away.

"Stupid pig, we are here to rescue you."

The pig was disdainful, "Who wants you to save him?"

"You are the idiots, your whole family is idiots."

"Stinky dog!!!"

Zhaocai was speechless, "Aren't you sick? Didn't many of your companions die?"

"If you don't eat the food we add the magic medicine to, you will all die soon."

"Bah, don't try to fool us, you stinky dog, you are dogs!"

Zhaocai snorted, "We are dogs, you are pigs!!"

"Pig brain!" it said angrily at last.

The leading pig blushed and asked, "What the hell do you mean?"

In the human world, pig and dog are not good words.

"Anyway, we have already given you the elixir. It's up to you whether you want to take it or not."

"I think you will either die of illness or die of stupidity!"

The pig stuttered a little, "Sick...stupid...dead..."

"Boss, a lot of our companions have died of illness recently." Some pigs came to their senses.

"Could the elixir they gave be real?"

"Isn't it just eating saliva? Aren't we eating enough saliva?"

"That's right. It doesn't matter whose saliva you eat, right?"

"Do we still have to choose?"

Zhaocai said quickly, "That's right. It doesn't matter what you eat. The key is that eating it can save your life."

"It would be a great deed if we were eaten by humans. It would be a waste if we died of illness." The pigs also advised.

The leading pig had a dazed look in his eyes but was quickly convinced.

"Eat, eat, eat quickly!"

The pigs returned to their own pens and rushed to grab the food from the trough.

After reaching a cooperation with Nuantianxia, ​​the swill collected by Nuantianxia every day will be rinsed with clean water and sent to the pig farm.

This is also the reason why the pork shop is unwilling to give up the goods when someone comes to intercept them.

The saved泔水 is also a considerable amount of money.

Moreover, the swill in the warm weather is mainly composed of meat dishes, and there is not a single vegetable dish to be found, which makes the pigs fat.

The pig's snout was digging and grunting in the trough, and soon, the swill in the trough was almost gone.

They have been feeling unwell recently and have no appetite for anything.

But after eating the food mixed with dog saliva, my appetite suddenly increased. What I had just eaten was just enough to fill my teeth.

"Give us more food!" The pigs banged on the fence, trying to attract the attention of the manager outside.

"Feed us more!"

Zhaocai quickly stopped them, "Stop shouting, I have something important to ask you."

The pigs turned around and looked at Zhaocai blankly. What else could be important now besides eating?

"Don't you want to know why you are sick?" Zhaocai asked.

The pig said, "Don't people say that eating whole grains makes you more likely to get sick?"

"Then we pigs, eating what's left over by humans, won't we be more likely to get sick?"

"What's so strange about that?"

"That's right, there's nothing strange about that."

"This is not important!" Zhaocai shouted angrily, "Start thinking, did anything strange happen ten days ago?"

Zhaocai glanced around and said, "You...all the pigs, think carefully, did anything strange happen ten days ago?"

"Anything goes."

The pigs looked at each other, bewildered.

Ten days ago, they ate and slept, slept and ate every day, it is really hard to calculate, what time was ten days ago...

Strange things...

I don’t even remember it!

"I...I remember something...quite strange..." Suddenly, a timid voice sounded among the pigs.

The pigs searched everywhere and finally found a skinny pig.

They made way for the skinny pig to come forward.

The skinny pig staggered over.

It was also sick, but it is much better after eating just now.

"Ten days ago..." it spoke weakly, looking at the other pigs with its eyelids rolled up.

"Ten days ago, there was an extra pig in my fence."

The pigs' eyes widened, "Another pig?!"

They basically put ten pigs in each fence.

These are all counted.

If there was one more pig, it would be easily discovered.

Facing the questions of the other pigs, the skinny pig said weakly, "The manager didn't notice it."

"Stupid pig!" the pigs said contemptuously.

The thin pig added, "That pig was thrown in secretly."

"He died on the third day."

"Ah..." The pigs were surprised, "Dead?!"

The thin pig nodded and said, "Well, since that pig died, our companions have been falling ill one after another."

The pigs were puzzled, "Then why are you okay?"

Skinny Pig shook his head, "I don't know."

How could it know? At that time it didn't know that the pig that suddenly appeared was a sick pig.

It just suddenly remembered this matter after hearing what the dog said.

Zhaocai nodded his head towards the skinny pig, signaling it to follow him to the side.

The skinny pig walked out and slowly came to Zhaocai's side.

Zhaocai confronted it and asked, "Since you saw the pig being thrown in, did you hear anything?"

Skinny Pig recalled seriously, "Two people came and they just said hurry up, hurry up, nothing else."

Zhaocai asked again, "Can you smell them?"

The skinny pig nodded weakly, "Yes."

It glanced at Zhaocai and said, "Our pigs' sense of smell is much better than your dogs'."

The fortune-attracting creature bared its teeth, only recognized the guy who ate, and showed off in front of it.

But now is the time to use it, you have to coax, "Yes, yes, you are the best."

"Then can you find them by following their scent?"

During these ten days, the weather was mild, with no rain and no strong winds.

There is still a lingering human smell.

"Of course I can." The skinny pig raised his head proudly, "I will definitely find them."

Zhaocai nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, then follow me."

It looked at the other pigs and said, "Wait here. The steward will come and give you more food."

A bunch of foodies!

Zhaocai led the skinny pig to look for Tian Youyou.

Tian Youyou was drinking porridge and eating side dishes at this time.

She was too hungry to eat too much and only wanted to eat until she was 70% full.

A few of the lucky ones and the skinny pig came out of the house but were stopped by people outside.

"Hey, why are the pigs out?!"
