Chapter 010: Wen Dongliang has arrived
As he pondered, Wenxu picked up the phone and dialed Yan Dong. Once the call connected, Wenxu directly asked, "Where are you?"
Wenxu noticed that this little creature was afraid of entering the pet hospital, so he squatted down and began to counsel it: "If you're sick, you need to be treated. Even if you're not sick, you should go in for a check-up. Look at you now, neither human nor dog, so dirty. How can you follow me on our adventures in the world later..."
Holding a lunch box in hand, the three tough meat dishes have lost their flavor. Wen Hu furrows his brow and begins to plan his new life. Continuing to sell vegetables every day, Wen Hu feels that he is not living a good life at all. Although he has made money, what is the difference from working overtime in a company all day!
I am helping at the residence of the wise king, indeed, said Yan Dong.
Parents of Wen Dongliang
The name "Dongliang" made the female doctor and the young nurse laugh involuntarily
As he began to think, Wenxu lost all desire to eat. He placed the lunchbox he was holding by the fence. After a few days of interaction, the puppy no longer regarded Wenxu with suspicion. Upon seeing Wenxu approaching with the lunchbox, it immediately wagged its tail and came out from the green hedge. Before Wenxu could even set down the lunchbox, the puppy was already barking eagerly.
The doctor saw that the dog had a name, so he sat down again. After writing a few lines, he asked Wenxu, "What is your name?"
Then take your time to think it over, and let me know when you have made up your mind. I will write the medical record. The female doctor smiled gently at Wenxu and prepared to stand up
Wenqu felt a bit unable to continue listening. Looking at the pillar beside his feet, he noticed its fur appeared as if it had not been cleaned properly, with yellow and black stripes. He then asked, "Why is the fur like this, with stripes?"
First, there must be a place to store the vegetables, which means there needs to be a transfer station for the handover between oneself and the harsh winter. Additionally, this place must have a certain capacity for preservation. This is not difficult; for Wenxu, there is no need for a low-temperature preservation warehouse, and such an investment is substantial. Wenxu's method is to dilute the water from the spatial cauldron and spray it on the vegetables two to three times a day. This method is quite easy to conceive, as one can see that vendors in the market often have small spray bottles for their vegetables. This preservation method is something that can be learned quickly, especially since Wenxu grew up in the countryside and knows these little tricks without needing to look them up.
Despite the labor being arduous, Wenwu cannot let his brother Yandong suffer financially. It would be unconscionable to allow Yandong to go without while he himself profits. A reasonable profit is still reserved for him. In any case, Wenwu believes that if Yandong works for a month, he will surely earn more than his previous salary.
After speaking, Xiao Hu bent down and gently said to the dog, "Wen Dongliang, be a good boy and go home with Daddy. Come back in a week, okay? Auntie really likes you, you are such a good baby..."
Wenxu said to the young caregiver with great joy: "You see, it understands!"
Upon hearing that treatment was needed, the female doctor said to the nurse, "Fangfang, please clean this little patient first." After saying this, she turned and sat down at the nearby table, picked up a pen, and asked, "What is the dog's name?"
After about half an hour, Wenxu gradually sorted out his thoughts. Now, Wenxu is considering finding a place in the suburbs, preferably a small courtyard with a separate entrance. This would not only serve as his residence but also as a transit station, allowing him to simply transport his belongings to the transit station, while the remaining tasks could be handled by Yandong.
We are a legitimate pet hospital, and our fees are reasonable. Your dog is quite ill... The female doctor immediately began to explain.
"Damn it, reincarnation of a wicked ghost!" Wen Xu put down the lunchbox and reached out to touch the puppy. However, seeing how dirty it was, he lost interest in touching it. His hand was raised in the air but then retracted. After scolding the puppy a couple of times, he turned and returned to the car, beginning to contemplate his future plans
Without waiting for Yan Dong's response, Wen Xu heard the sound of Sun An'an calling from the other end of the phone, and naturally knew where Yan Dong was.
"Warmth, warm sunshine and gentle warmth". Wenxu turned his gaze away from the little dog being carried into the inner room by the young caregiver and said to the doctor.
First, this dog is not a valuable breed; it looks like at most a mixed-breed local dog. Second, look at how dirty it is; not only is it dirty, but it also has sores, and it has been sick for quite a while. If it were a domesticated dog, how could it have ended up like this? The little caregiver's performance is quite professional.
There is another more significant issue; Wenqu discovered that if he continued like this, he would soon become a vegetable farmer. In the morning, he delivered sheep and fish to Zhao Defang, and by noon, he had to pull a cart full of vegetables out to sell. By the time evening came, around eight o'clock, he could finally pack up and return home. This is not the life he desires
Good child! Wenqu is very pleased with the puppy, and has closed the car door and started the vehicle
The doctor then focused on writing for five minutes on the paper, and after filling out the form, he said to Wenxu: "Take this form over there to pay the fee, and I will go prepare the medicine"
As the car just started moving, Wenqu could see a small figure emerging from the green hedge through the rearview mirror, jogging after his little Wuling. The tiny figure cast a faint shadow under the streetlight, taking small, slightly unsteady steps.
After the little caregiver finished speaking, she left. In less than two minutes, a middle-aged woman in her thirties wearing a white coat came over. The two of them worked together to lift the puppy onto the table
"If you want to follow me, then climb up. If you don't come up, I will leave," Wenxu said, looking at the puppy.
Seeing Wenyu turn his head to look at him, the caregiver smiled and asked, "Can it understand?"
After spending twenty minutes rushing to the nearest pet hospital, Wenqu stopped the car, opened the door, and said to the obedient little dog lying down: "Get down!"
How do you know this dog is a stray
"Wait for me, I have something to discuss with you". Wen Xu did not say much, directly hung up the phone and prepared to start the car to go to Zhao Defang's stall.
The young caregiver replied, "Please wait a moment, I will find a doctor to come and take a look at you"
Watching the little dog following his car, Wenqu felt an inexplicable pang of sadness. He thought that if he did not come, there would be no one to feed it. With its timid demeanor, he could only wonder who had mistreated it in the past to make it this way. Winter was approaching, and given its small frame, it would likely struggle to survive the harshness of the coming winter
It is understandable that the dog is afraid of going to the pet hospital; even for Wenxu himself, he is also afraid of going to the hospital. Firstly, the costs at the hospital are high, and each visit can be quite expensive. Secondly, he does not like the smell inside. Even when accompanying someone for a medical appointment, Wenxu feels uncomfortable all over as soon as he enters the hospital
After watching for a while, the female veterinarian said to Wenxu: "The treatment for this dog will cost 2,000 yuan"
You are quite lucky; judging by its appearance, it resembles a tabby dog, and the color of its fur matches this particular breed. Although it is a local dog and not very expensive, it might become popular in a few years, who knows
What is your name? Wenxu was truly taken aback by the doctor's sudden question
The little caregiver has no awareness at all, just placing Dongliang on the ground: "Is your surname Wen? Why can't your dog be called Wen Dongliang? Here! Remember, the thing around its neck must not be removed to prevent it from licking the medicine. Come back in a week. The leash, collar, and such are considered complimentary from us!"
The little dog seemed to have gained a sense of spirit, immediately standing up upon hearing Wenxu's words, jumping from the car to the ground, and obediently following Wenxu at a distance of one meter, lifting its head to gaze at Wenxu's back, happily trailing behind.
After selling vegetables for two or three days, Wenxu finally understood why a stall in the market, measuring only two or three meters long, could collect a rent of eighty to ninety thousand yuan a year. Although selling vegetables seems to earn only small amounts of money, the monthly income is quite considerable. Gradually, Wenxu encountered a problem: his small Wuling vehicle could no longer hold enough vegetables to sell in one night.
The puppy looked eagerly at Wenxu, but beside him came a soft laugh. The young caregiver, who was about to open the door to welcome the guests, couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing a big man actually explaining something to a dog.
Wen Xu listened and, touching his nose, smiled: "Truly impressive! Take care of this guy, treat any ailments he has, and administer any necessary vaccinations as well"
If one does not wish to do something, then one must find someone else to do it. As for who to find, there is no need to think too much; the image of Yan Dong immediately sprang to mind. A person has been identified, and now the next step is to determine the method of operation. Naturally, the matter of space cannot be disclosed to Yan Dong. It is better not to mention it even to close friends; some secrets, once shared with one person, quickly become what is described in advertisements: a secret known to all.

So expensive! Wenxu has never raised a dog, thinking that with such a fuss, it could be settled for three or four hundred yuan. Who would have thought that they would ask for two thousand yuan right off the bat
This dog is quite valuable, clever," the little caregiver casually praised.
Upon reaching this point, Wenxu stopped the car, unfastened his seatbelt, and turned his body to push open the right-hand door. As the door swung open, a small dog stood by the car, sitting on the ground and gazing eagerly at Wenxu
This name is quite amusing, leaving Wenxu in a state of both laughter and tears. He corrected the young caregiver, saying, "It is called Dongliang, not Wen Dongliang!" While explaining with his mouth, he thought to himself: In your family, even the dog and the person share the same surname; if someone like you were to be placed in my hometown, they would definitely be given a good slap on the ear!
After considering it several times, Wenqu feels that this idea can still hold for a while. Of course, if he wants to expand it further, he needs to find at least a superficial production site as a cover. As for the production site, Wenqu has also figured it out; it is his hometown. Firstly, he is familiar with the area, and secondly, it is located in a remote mountain village with only a few dozen households, totaling around two to three hundred people. Although the transportation is inconvenient, it can be done gradually; after all, no one can become fat in one bite.
Upon hearing the doctor's words, Wenxu obediently took the list and paid the fee of 2,000 yuan. After that, there was nothing more for Wenxu to do; he sat in the waiting area, playing on his phone while waiting. After about an hour, the nurse brought the dog out.
It is estimated that it can! Wenxu was momentarily filled with childlike innocence, truly not believing that the dog could understand what he was saying. Upon seeing the little caregiver smile, he stood up and walked towards the door, just as he was about to call out to the little dog at the entrance, he noticed that the little dog had taken a step and was following behind him.
Indeed, a dog is merely a name that can be called. Wenxu feels no embarrassment about this; for him, keeping a dog serves a functional purpose, primarily for guarding the home. At the very least, it can help clean up leftover food. If it cannot even accomplish that, Wenxu thinks it would be better to kill the dog and eat the meat. In summary, when it comes to dog ownership, Wenxu is still at a rural level and has not yet elevated to the urban mindset of treating dogs as children.
Wenxu had no idea what a tabby dog was. He heard that this coat color was originally like this, so he felt relieved. He reached out to rub the dog's head a couple of times and then pulled the dog leash to walk out of the hospital.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the pet hospital, the puppy halted its steps, refusing to go inside. After standing at the door and giving a soft whine towards Wenxu, it gazed at Wenxu with longing, emitting a pitiful whimper, as if it bore an immense grievance.
I understand, then let us proceed with the treatment! Wenxu was indeed taken aback, but he had no intention of not treating.
At this moment, the young caregiver Fangfang said: "This dog was picked up by him; it is likely that he hasn't thought of a name for it yet."
"Dongliang! This dog is called Dongliang" Wenxu casually came up with a name
At that moment, the puppy seemed to understand Wenxu's words, directly extending its paw onto the doorway and energetically climbing onto the car. Being a bit small, it took several minutes for the puppy to reach the passenger seat of the car. Once it got in, it did not make a sound, but obediently lay down under the seat, remaining still and quiet.
Moreover, this place must be quiet and not too conspicuous; the fewer people there are, the longer one can keep their secrets.
After driving for a while, Wenxu parked the car by the roadside. He recalled a question: he should not take such a dirty dog directly home; at the very least, he should first take it to a pet hospital for a thorough cleaning. This is not only responsible for the dog but also for himself. With this thought in mind, Wenxu began searching for nearby pet hospitals on his phone
