Wang Jianzhong took the constables to carry all the bodies out, dug a big pit, and put them all in one place.
He covered it with soil with a shovel, wrote a few words on a piece of wood, and stuck it on the small mound.
Several people rode horses back to the city from the suburbs, went to the government office, and reported the matter to the county magistrate.
"Sir, I have already made all the arrangements. The bodies were buried in the suburbs, and the surviving cats and dogs were taken to the Jishi Medical Clinic by Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang made some suggestions on where to put these cats and dogs.”
"You say." The county magistrate was writing on paper.
“She said, let’s put up a sign for people who want to adopt and for people who have lost cats and dogs to come and see it.
For those that haven't been adopted, we should build a shelter. Let some kind-hearted wealthy businessmen donate money to build this shelter so that these homeless animals can have a place to stay."
Wang Jianzhong fell silent after he finished speaking. He was afraid that the county magistrate would disagree. He had seen all this with his own eyes and buried the bodies with his own hands. Naturally, he hoped that the survivors could live well with the remains of the dead.
The county magistrate thought about it seriously and thought that this suggestion was very good.
With a look of relief on his face, he said, "I agree to this proposal. Go and start writing the notice. I want to go to the Jishi Medical Clinic."
"Sir, I will go prepare the carriage." Wang Jianzhong raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked out with brisk steps.
The two of them came all the way here. Although there were a lot of people, they automatically avoided each other when they saw the carriage.
The county magistrate and Wang Jianzhong arrived at the Jishi Medical Clinic without any obstruction.
"The county magistrate is here." Wang Jianzhong shouted, and the people turned around and saw Wang Jianzhong and the county magistrate coming, and they all wanted to kneel down.
"No need to salute, everyone is very tired. Let them treat these animals with peace of mind." The county magistrate waved his hand, but his eyes were always on the doctors who were treating the animals.
The county magistrate was also moved by the scene of everyone working together. Looking at the injuries on the cats and dogs, as well as their pitiful and helpless expressions, the county magistrate felt that this kind of animal shelter should be established as soon as possible.
It’s a pity that in today’s dynasty, everyone is in danger, and many people do not have enough to eat, so they don’t have more energy to take care of animals.
However, the county magistrate had already made up his mind that he would report the matter to the court and the emperor.
Even if it doesn't help, I've done my best.
Lin Shuang was fine, so she comforted them. After thinking for a while, she walked up to the county magistrate.
He bent down slightly and saluted the county magistrate, "Your Excellency the County Magistrate."
When Lin Shuang arrived, the county magistrate already knew about her.
"Lin Shuang, Constable Wang has already told me your suggestion. I think it's a good idea and have already asked someone to start preparing it."
"Thank you very much, County Magistrate. Qingshan Town is doing well under your management." Lin Shuang smiled slightly.
"No problem. I will write a letter to report this matter to the emperor and see what he thinks." The county magistrate also told him his plan.
"That's great! With the help of the county magistrate, I believe the court will one day enact legislation."
Lin Shuang was very happy. Although this matter was likely to fail, as long as they had this intention, it was good.
"All the money spent on this rescue will be covered by the government. I will also arrange a place for these animals to go later, so you don't have to worry about that."
Lin Shuang was somewhat puzzled by the county magistrate's concern for this matter.
As far as she knew, although most people in the Daqing Dynasty liked cats and dogs, there were still some people who didn't like them.
Moreover, people who can become county magistrates don't seem to have much sympathy for animals. This county magistrate is really different.
"Then I would like to express my gratitude to the county magistrate on behalf of these animals." Lin Shuang turned around and said to the cats and dogs.
All the cats and dogs responded with grateful voices and looked at the county magistrate with tearful eyes.
The county magistrate was stunned by this scene, staring at them blankly, with a hint of sadness and relief on his face.
Lin Shuang had been paying attention to the county magistrate's facial expression, feeling puzzled.
"System, why do I feel like there's something wrong with this county magistrate? His emotions are fluctuating wildly. He doesn't seem like the person he is in court at all."
Lin Shuang touched her chin. Perhaps her curiosity was stirring.
"If you want to explore other people's past experiences, you need 100 points. Tasker, do you still need them?"
"Yes, I want to know."
"Okay, we're looking for it. We've found it. Please don't be surprised."
The system directly found something like a video, which showed a poor little boy. His parents had passed away and he held a kitten in his arms every day. The poor little boy could not support himself and barely survived by relying on the help of the villagers.
The kitten, who depended on each other for survival, caught a big fish, and the man and the cat lived like this.
After hearing about this, my aunt who married far away came here with her family and took the child home to raise him.
The little boy happily told the kitten that they had a new home to move to and could live a good life together. Laughter and the cat's meows echoed in the house.
The little boy didn't know that this would be the last time the kitten would be with him. He had been happily going to his aunt's house, but what he welcomed was the dead body of the kitten. The kitten had been bitten by a wild wolf in the mountains. When he arrived, the kitten was already dead.
After watching this clip, Lin Shuang felt like crying.
It turns out that the county magistrate had such a tragic life. The kitten must be the family member in his heart.
Suddenly, a little orange cat ran over and jumped directly into the arms of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate focused his attention at this time and took it subconsciously.
"Meow." The little orange cat rubbed against the county magistrate.
The magistrate gently stroked and looked at the little orange cat, as if he was looking through it at another.
The magistrate gradually smiled and looked at Lin Shuang and said, "Lin Shuang, I want to keep this cat. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. Ask Constable Wang for the amount and he'll give it to you."
"Okay, thank you, County Magistrate." Lin Shuang looked at the orange cat. It was exactly the same as the cat in the previous clip, even the wisp of stray hair on its forehead was the same. No wonder the County Magistrate took it away.
Wang Jianzhong left with the county magistrate.
The scene became lively again, with people talking one after another.
"Our county magistrate is so kind!"
"Yeah, it's nice to look at these cats and dogs. Why not get one?"
"Okay, I can keep one at home besides my family being well fed."
Listening to the people's words, Lin Shuang felt that this fake world seemed to be real. These were not characters that could be described in a few words in a book, but real people with flesh and blood.
It also gave Lin Shuang a sense of belonging.
