Chapter 159: Desperate Cry
Wang Shijin opened a dog's eyes and saw that the eyeball was bloodless. He said, "This dog can still be eaten. If the eyeball turns red, it can't be eaten."
Dogs that turn red in front of your eyes are usually sick, such as those with rabies.
Xia Xiaoman said, "There are eight dogs in total. The other two are in the front. You two families can each take four."
Sun Haiyun shook his head. "We don't want it. We just want the skin. Weiwei and I don't know how to cook dog meat. It would be a waste to give it to us."
Fu Baiwei agreed, "We want the fur. These dogs have a lot of fur. Putting two of them together should be enough to make a blanket."
Upon hearing this, Wang Shijin said, "Then the meat of the eight dogs will be mine, and the skins will be yours."
Fu Baiwei nodded, "As long as you don't feel you're at a disadvantage."
Wang Shijin smiled and said, "I should say this. The meat of eight dogs may weigh more than a thousand kilograms in total. You are the ones who are at a disadvantage."
After discussing how to distribute the dogs, Wang Shijin returned to the sewer and called a few friends with whom he was on good terms to come up and kill the dogs, clean the dog meat and take it down.
It's hard to carry such a big dog to the sewer. Killing the dog in the sewer will also attract others' covetousness, so it's better to deal with it outside and then take it down.
They were too lazy to move and just dealt with it in Xia Xiaoman's yard. Xia Xiaoman saw that the people who came were all her senior brothers and sisters who learned the Plum Blossom Double Swords with her, so she let them do whatever they wanted, as long as they cleaned the ground when they left.
While Wang Shijin and his team were processing the dog meat, Fu Baiwei was helping Xia Xiaoman freeze ice bricks to build a fence.
"How are you doing in the sewers?"
Fu Baiwei sighed, "So be it! The sewer is warm, but it's too stuffy and smelly. The place we live in is small and narrow. Ayun can only straighten his back when he lies down to sleep. Every day is very depressing."
"Half a month ago, the higher-ups got some flower pots and rotten bottles from somewhere and put them in the aisle to grow improved sweet potatoes. They took up half a meter of space, leaving only half a meter of space for walking, and our space for activities shrank a little more."
What is the concept of a half-meter aisle? People passing by may bump into things on both sides if they walk with a larger amplitude.
Fu Baiwei and her friends live in the sewers, where they can neither sleep nor eat well. All we can say is that being in the sewers can save their lives, but don't think about anything else.
"So do you still plan to continue living in the sewer?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Fu Baiwei nodded. "Yes, where else can we live if not in the sewer? We can't build a kang at home. Even if we can, we can't find the materials to make it. When the electricity is turned on in a while, the environment in the sewer should be much better."
"Power on?" Xia Xiaoman looked puzzled. "Under the current circumstances, can the power station still be built?"
"The power station has been under construction. Previously, they wanted to use solar power generators, but when the smog appeared, they changed to wind power generators. I heard from Ayun that he has been making wind blades during this period. When the blades are ready and shipped to the power station, he will go back to work."
With electricity, many problems can be easily solved.
The two were chatting when several security guards came over with flashlights. Seeing the dead dogs on the ground, the security guards frowned and asked, "Are you the owners of these dogs?"
Wang Shijin and his companions stopped what they were doing and said, "No, we picked up these dead dogs on the road. We felt it was a pity to leave such a big dog on the roadside, so we picked it up and ate it. Brother, what happened to these dogs?"
The security guard glanced at him and said, "The people who lived in the villa at the intersection are dead. From the scars on their bodies, we can tell that they were killed by wild animals."
Of the wild beasts within a ten-mile radius, it is estimated that these are the only ones in front of us.
"Have you seen the owner of these dogs? We suspect he is a robber."
Xia Xiaoman said, "I saw it. The man was shot dead. The body is not far from the intersection ahead. You can see it if you dig through the snow."
The security guard frowned. "Shot dead? How do you know?"
Xia Xiaoman pointed to the balcony on the second floor and said, "I saw it from the second floor. A gunshot was heard and the man fell to the ground."
"Then did you see clearly what the person who fired the gun looked like?" the security officer asked.
Xia Xiaoman shook her head. "It's so late at night and so far away, who can see clearly?"
The security guard asked a few more questions, but didn't get the answer he wanted, so he had to leave to find the body that was shot. As for the dog corpses... the robber was already dead, so the dogs were useless. In comparison, tracking down the gunman was more important.
After the security guard walked away, Fu Baiwei let out a breath, "Oh, I was scared to death. I thought you were going to be arrested as a murderer."
"It's too messy outside, Xiaoman, why don't you move to the sewer! The sewers here are all people from Shuiyue Bay, and no one dares to cause trouble."
Xia Xiaoman shook her head and refused, "I live well here, this was just an accident."
There are many people who did not move to the sewers like her. Half of the residents in the villa area did not move to the sewers. She was just unlucky and happened to live next to the main road, so she encountered the criminals.
…
The processed dog meat, including meat and bones, weighed more than 900 kilograms.
So much dog meat being brought down the sewer would surely cause quite a stir.
Wang Shijin and his companions hid the dog meat in a secret place. Each of them took only 20 kilograms back to eat. After they finished eating, they came up to get the meat.
Taking the dog meat back to the sewer, Wang Shijin couldn't wait to look through the supplies, found a bag of prepared spices, heated the oil in a pan and started cooking the dog meat.
As soon as the dog meat stew was boiled, the aroma was stimulated. The two nearby sewers were filled with the aroma of dog meat stew. The residents around smelled the aroma and stared at the dog meat stew in Wang Shijin's pot with green eyes.
But they could only watch and did not dare to step forward to grab it.
Considering the strong aroma of dog meat stew, Wang Shijin specially invited several security guards who had a good relationship with him to eat meat, and these security guards happened to be on vacation.
With security guards here, who would dare to rob?
After simmering for about an hour, the meat was finally cooked. Wang Shijin swallowed his saliva and opened the lid.
At this moment, a scream suddenly rang out, and he was so scared that he almost dropped the lid in his hand.
“Ah!! Ah!! What kind of life are we living? We are humans, not rats. Why do we have to live in the sewers!!”
"I want to get out! I studied hard for more than ten years and finally became a lawyer. I obviously have a bright future, why am I trapped in this dirty, smelly, small sewer! Ahhh!! Why!!"
"Go away! Stop me! I want to get out!!"
The desperate cry attracted the attention of the people around. Wang Shijin took a look and saw that the other party had no intention of coming over to grab the meat, so he stopped paying attention and lowered his head to concentrate on eating the meat.
