Chapter 140 Silly Pet Pig

When they passed by to rescue people, all they saw were ruins. But when Madam Gu brought them back to her home, the courtyard walls were spotless and neat, as if they had never been through an earthquake.

Seeing Zuo Shan's confusion, Old Madam Gu said, "This is all thanks to my old steward, Gu Yongzhong. He's an earth-type ability user."

When the major earthquake struck, he happened to be shopping in the 46th ward, which is why he couldn't get there in time to take me to the hospital.

"Luckily he didn't make it in time, otherwise he would have taken me straight to the hospital, and once that steel bar was pulled out, I wouldn't have made it home alive."

Madam Gu gently pressed a raised, six-pointed star-shaped button on the door, and a thumb-shaped groove appeared on the heavy stone door. She placed her thumb on it, and it fit perfectly.

Soon, the gate opened to both sides, revealing a passageway wide enough for two people.

"These were all designed by my old housekeeper. He has nothing better to do than tinker with these things all day long." Old Madam Gu said with a smile, seemingly complaining but also praising and showing off.

This courtyard covers an area of ​​over 500 square meters. Although it has been temporarily renovated by earth-type ability users, the flowers, plants and trees damaged during the previous earthquake cannot be restored in a short time, making the entire courtyard seem somewhat empty.

As soon as Madam Gu entered the courtyard, she saw an old man in his eighties or nineties with white hair and a weathered face approaching her, carrying a pet pig that was about a foot long in his arms.

This pet pig is small and cute, and if it weren't for its highly recognizable snout, it would look completely different from those dirty big pigs.

Upon seeing Madam Gu, the pet pig leaped from the old man's arms and rushed into her embrace like a fledgling swallow returning to its nest, making soft, whimpering noises as if it were trying to be cute and affectionate.

The two were a full five meters apart, yet the little pig could still leap steadily across. Its skill was comparable to that of a martial arts master who knew lightness skills, leaving Zuo Shan speechless.

She could only keep mentally preparing herself: This is a wasteland, and everything abnormal is normal. Didn't she still have a panda baby in her backpack that could attract metal?

"Arong, you're finally back! Hanhan has been causing trouble for so long. If I hadn't kept it in check, it would have run off to you long ago!" The old man patted the little pig's head and said.

"Ah Zhong, don't blame Hanhan. It must have been terrified. This is the first time in my life that I've left without saying goodbye to it."

When the earthquake struck, I used my supernatural abilities to create a protective shield for it, and then I passed out. I was discovered by Ms. Zuo Shan and her sister who were passing by, and they took me to the hospital.

"Hanhan is trapped inside my protective shield, and it can't break through it anytime soon. When you come back and release it, it won't be able to see me, so naturally it'll make a fuss," said Madam Gu with a smile.

"Alright, alright, Grandma's back now, isn't she? Be good, and we'll take you everywhere we go from now on."

She gently patted the chubby little body while coaxing it, her expression so kind and gentle, a stark contrast to her aloof and reserved demeanor at the hospital.

After arriving on Green Algae Star, this was the first time Zuo Shan had ever seen someone keep a pet, especially one of this kind that immediately evokes images of delicious meat.

She was surrounded by scavengers, barely able to feed herself, let alone have extra food to feed her pets. If this silly boy hadn't been protected by a powerful figure like Old Madam Gu, he would probably have become someone else's meal long ago.

To be fair, if she encountered a creature like Hanhan in the wild, no matter how cute it was, she would probably try to catch it and eat it.

However, when she thought of her own little treasure, she understood what Old Madam Gu was thinking.

Even a poor person like her, struggling to make ends meet, didn't have the heart to catch, kill, or eat Xiao Bao after meeting him. Instead, she went to great lengths to raise him by her side.

As a fellow pet owner, Zuo Shan looked at Madam Gu with a sense of kinship, and her gaze towards Hanhan was full of affection. She had finally seen an animal other than Xiao Bao that could coexist harmoniously with humans. Only then did the world seem a little more like a normal world.

Seemingly sensing her affection, Hanhan suddenly leaped out of Old Madam Gu's arms without warning and pounced towards Zuo Shan.

Zuo Shan was used to being pounced on by Xiao Bao, so she subconsciously opened her arms and hugged Han Han.

Madam Gu was somewhat surprised. Her son, Hanhan, had always ignored everyone except her and the old housekeeper. He would either turn his back on people or run away with a wrinkled nose, maintaining a noble and aloof demeanor.

What's wrong with her today? Is it because she suddenly left it for so long and she's angry with her, so she's deliberately getting close to strangers to spite her?

Hugging the adorable Zuo Shan, she felt a little flattered. This was someone else's little cutie, and she was being so respectful on their first meeting, throwing herself into his arms right away.

Zuo Shan, who was used to feeding her friends' pets in her previous life, subconsciously wanted to buy ham sausages, only to realize that this place didn't produce such junk food.

After thinking for a moment, she remembered that she had stuffed a few cassava cakes mixed with peanut crumbs into her backpack before the ambulance arrived home, so she took one out and placed it in front of the silly little pig's mouth.

Hanhan has a very keen sense of smell and is also very sensitive to kindness and malice. It smelled a sweet and fragrant aroma and its mouth watered, but it still looked up at Old Madam Gu.

Seeing her beloved pet's shameless gluttony, Old Madam Gu smiled and said, "This is from your sister, so just eat it. Remember to thank her!"

Hanhan raised his two short, chubby little pig hooves, gave her a half-hearted bow, and tapped his chubby head a few times like a chicken pecking at rice. Then he snatched the cassava cake in his mouth, leaped back into Old Madam Gu's arms, and

Then, as if presenting a treasure, she placed the cassava cake into her palm.

Zuo Shan watched helplessly as Madam Gu cut a cassava cake in two, stuffing the larger half into Hanhan's mouth and feeding the smaller half into her own mouth without any hesitation.

The left fan is petrifying...

However, she immediately realized that this was a wasteland, and saving food was a habit ingrained in everyone's bones. The relationship between the master and the pet was obviously so close that they were like family, so it was not surprising that the pet ate the food that the pet had picked up.

It's like when you're thirsty, you might grab the water glass that your dad or mom drank from and gulp it down—it's the same principle.

Zuo Shan was watching the two of them, master and pet, showing their affection when she saw Old Madam Gu raise her head and casually say, "Let your little darling out for some fresh air too. It's a wonder it hasn't thrown a tantrum while being kept in the backpack all this time."

Zuo Shan was startled at first, but then she understood. The little treasure was hidden in her backpack, and as long as it didn't move around, ordinary people wouldn't notice it.

However, since Madam Gu was a high-level superhuman, she was naturally able to sense its presence.

Thinking of her deep affection for her pet, Zuo Shan opened her backpack and patted Xiao Bao's head:

"Xiao Bao, come out here. There's a little kid over there named Hanhan. Go play with him. Remember, no fighting and no bullying him!"

Xiao Bao was also really eager to come out. Since Sister Fan let it out, it meant that this place was safe. It jumped out of the backpack and began to look around at its surroundings.

Madam Gu waved to Zuo Shan and Xiao Bai and said, "Let's go to my treatment room. Let's figure out how to save the little girl. Don't worry about your Xiao Bao. Han Han will take good care of him."

Since her master had said so, Zuo Shan naturally didn't hesitate any longer. After all, she had been worried about Lele. Although Xiao Bai said that he was controlling the temperature of the ice and that Lele wouldn't actually get frostbite, she was still very anxious.
