The man weighed the little puppy.
“So much trouble.
Sister Zhao even said it doesn’t need dog food and is easy to raise.
She asked me to bring it back to guard the house.”
Thinking about the trouble of raising it, he said, “Then I’ll send it back.”
“That’s fine too.”
Wen Youning thought that sending the puppy back would allow it to receive better care.
After all, the person had experience raising dogs, which was better than feeding it rice soup and pickles.
Such a small dog as a guard? Hahaha A thief wouldn’t even see this little thing at the door.
Dog: I’m not human, but you are truly a dog.
The man picked up the puppy and adjusted his phone’s camera.
“I even set up a doghouse.
Wasted a whole day.”
As he spoke, the rooster on his back stretched its neck, peering around curiously.
Its beak still had leftover feed on it.
The comb on its head swayed gently as it moved, stepping back and forth in a crisscross pattern on the ground, slowly approaching the man.
The chickens and ducks in the yard were all free-range.
The rooster pecked at the ground here and there, its sharp eyes darting around.
‘Take this!’
Wen Youning paused while stroking the cat.
“Be careful behind you.”
“What Hey, damn it!”
Before the man could finish speaking, the rooster suddenly leaped up, flapped its wings, and kicked him in the head.
His bald head, with no hair to protect it, was scratched several times.
It even felt like he got pecked.
The rooster was strong, making the man grimace in pain.
After landing from its swift attack, the rooster strutted away with a proud “cluck, cluck” and flapped its wings.
It even turned back to look at him while running.
Seeing the man holding his head, the rooster spread its wings and mimicked covering its own head.
Ahh, it’s so cheeky!
Hahaha, I never thought I’d see a rooster looking so smug.
Rooster:
Just thinking about kicking him makes me laugh.
The man clearly noticed as well.
He put down the puppy and grabbed a stick.
“I’ll treat you to some chicken before I leave.”
Rooster: I’m doomed!
The puppy wagged its tail.
“Woof woof!”
‘Eat, eat, eat!’
…
Fuming, the man ended his livestream and went to battle with the rooster.
The falcon had already moved its head in front of the phone screen.
Squinting at the rooster, it let out a low growl.
‘So slow.’
‘A falcon can take on a whole flock!’
A falcon is known for having the fastest flight speed among birds in the wild.
It can fly at 140 km/h with ease.
Its diving speed exceeds 300 km/h.
Compared to a rooster’s attack speed, the falcon couldn’t even see it.
It also didn’t understand why humans would watch a chicken in a small frame.
Wouldn’t it be better to watch a falcon?
Falcons are much faster than chickens.
Hmph.
Strange humans.
“Are you secretly badmouthing me?” Wen Youning tapped the falcon’s head.
‘Don’t touch me!’
The falcon turned its head and snapped its beak, but stopped just short of biting Wen Youning’s fingertips.
Its small eyes darted around.
Seeing the human stay still, the falcon pecked at its wings, pretending to groom itself.
‘This fool doesn’t even dodge.’
The falcon hopped a little further away.
‘So dumb, so dumb.’
Even its back showed disdain.
Realizing it had been caught moving closer, the falcon turned around and slowly walked back.
It swayed from side to side like an old grandpa, hands behind his back, taking a stroll.
A picture flashed in Wen Youning’s mind, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
“Haha.”
The falcon instantly froze and side-eyed him.
‘Is he laughing at me?’
Under the falcon’s scrutinizing gaze, Wen Youning laughed even louder.
“Haha!”
Falcon: ‘!!!’
‘He IS laughing at me!’
“I’m not laughing at you.
Go eat something.”
Noticing the falcon about to puff up in anger, Wen Youning quickly soothed it.
“The meat is fresh, eat it while it’s still good.”
He had stocked up on meat at the market last time, as he couldn’t go shopping every day.
With proper storage, it could last up to six months.
Besides the pet food he made, there was plenty of fresh meat at home.
Not knowing the falcon’s preference, he prepared a mix of beef, lamb, and pork, letting it choose what to eat.
Hearing Wen Youning’s words, the falcon hesitated before slowly stepping forward.
It hopped onto the table and pecked at a piece of meat.
The meat was high quality, fresh, and juicy.
The falcon made a soft sound.
“Gu-woo.”
‘It’s just okay.’
But in its heart: ‘So delicious.’
Wen Youning covered his mouth, hiding a smile.
The falcon, seemingly focused on eating, suddenly lifted its head and turned away.
Now its back was facing Wen Youning.
The little tabby cat, seeing the falcon turn its back, got a bit eager.
“Let it eat first,” Wen Youning said, holding down the kitten that was about to pounce.
He then answered the next call.
The falcon must have been hungry.
It was only hesitant at first due to caution.
Wen Youning had also mixed a little medicine into the meat, hoping the falcon wouldn’t notice.
“Mr. Wen! I finally got through to you!”
A cheerful girl waved at the camera, laughing.
“I have a five-year-old Persian cat! Look how chubby its face is so soft and cuddly!”
The tabby cat wasn’t interested in the Persian.
It preferred the falcon it looked delicious.
Wen Youning gave the kitten a dried fish snack to distract it.
“Hello.
Is there something wrong with your cat?”
The Persian looked weak and lethargic.
Hearing a voice, its ears twitched, and it slowly lifted its head, staring at the camera.
The girl hesitated, covering the cat’s ears as if she was afraid it would hear.
“Well… its feet smell bad.”
Wen Youning frowned.
“Smelly feet?”
There are many causes for this walking on damp surfaces, bacterial growth, inflammation, or fungal infection.
Seborrheic dermatitis or litter box issues could also be factors.
The girl lifted the cat’s paw.
“This has been happening for a while.
I wash its paws often, so it’s not from stepping on something.”
“My mom noticed it too.
She said the cat’s been getting weaker lately.”
The girl looked worried.
“I read online that cats understand human speech.
I wonder if it overheard my mom and got sad.”
“So I stopped mentioning it, but I’ve tried deodorizing sprays and special shampoos.
The smell goes away briefly, then comes back.”
Wen Youning examined the cat’s paws.
No debris was stuck in them.
“Don’t use heavily scented shampoos.
What smells good to you is too strong for animals.”
“Okay.”
The girl sighed.
“Even a small issue feels like a big mystery.”
“Have you checked for oral inflammation?” Wen Youning asked.
“I did.
The vet said it wasn’t that.”
She showed some medical records on her phone.
“The vet thought it was bad breath transferring to the paws.”
“But…”
“Does it hurt?” Wen Youning zoomed in on the cat.
“Open your mouth for me, okay?”
“Meow…”
‘It hurts.’
Wen Youning coaxed the cat into opening its mouth.
After checking, he sighed.
“It’s not smelly feet.
It’s an oral tumor.”
“WHAT?!”
The girl was stunned.
…
Is this just insensitivity? The lion cat was almost strangled to death, but the owner thought it was playing on a swing.
Sleeping Dragon Cat and Phoenix Chick Owner.
Owner, having you is a blessing.
Lion Cat: Having you, I’m really impressed.
One livestream saved two cats, sis, you hit the jackpot!
…
‘Ding-dong’
“Hello, your food delivery!”
“Coming.”
Wen You Ning put down the little tabby cat and got up, saying quickly, “I’m going to get the food.”
“Alright, alright, Teacher Wen, you go ahead, I’ll hang up first.”
The girl returned to the phone, sent a few virtual gifts, and then ended the call.
When Wen You Ning had just woken up, her stomach was completely empty, and she felt so hungry she could eat a whole cow.
When browsing the food delivery app, she naturally wanted to eat everything she saw.
In the end, she chose a store with a variety of options fried skewers, spicy hotpot, all sorts of delicious food, and even a box of fruit slices.
Looking at the spread on the table, there seemed to be a lot, but some of the boxes barely contained more than a single bite.
Wen You Ning opened the fried skewer bucket, poked a few holes in the lid to let out steam, and since the delivery was fast, the skewers hadn’t completely softened yet.
Although not as crispy as fresh from the fryer, they still tasted okay.
“I’ll eat dinner, and today I’ll stop streaming after this.”
Wen You Ning took a bite of a fried meatball, warm steam rising from it.
“Logging off now.”
What?!!
I don’t like hearing that, take it back!
You’ve only streamed for such a short time?! I’m reporting you for slacking!
I just logged in!
“Then should I just stream my meal? I’ll turn this into an eating broadcast.”
Wen You Ning considered for a moment.
“Or you can just watch the little tabby cat.”
“Meow?” The little kitten, which had been mentioned, licked the large dried fish that had only given it a minor scrape.
“It’s fine, you eat.”
Wen You Ning ruffled the kitten’s ears.
“I should also give you a name.
If I keep calling you ‘Little Tabby’ all the time, you’ll start thinking that’s your actual name.”
“Hmm… You like eating dried fish, so let’s call you ‘Dried Fish’ then.”
“Meow?” The little tabby tilted its head.
‘Dried Fish?’
“Yes, from now on, your name is Dried Fish.”
Wen You Ning moved the dried fish to the side, picked up the little tabby, and placed it on her lap, spreading her palm in front of it.
“Come, Dried Fish, shake hands.”
“Meow!” Without hesitation, the little tabby cat placed its paw on her palm.
‘Alright!’
“Hmm, seems like you like this name too.”
Wen You Ning squeezed its paw pad, watching as its little claws spread out.
“Okay, go play now.”
After finishing its meal, the red falcon lazily preened its feathers.
Its injured wing could now slowly stretch out, but it didn’t immediately fly away.
Instead, it gazed at Wen You Ning from a distance.
‘Such a childish name.’
Wen You Ning said, “If you’re tired, you can rest on the cushion.”
Feeling sleepy after taking medicine was normal, but the dosage wasn’t high, so a quick nap of ten to twenty minutes should be enough to recover.
If it flew straight outside and was hit by the cold wind, it wouldn’t need to sleep to stay awake.
The red falcon ignored her, shook its wings, and let out a cry.
“What?”
Wen You Ning didn’t quite understand.
It was a sound without meaning, maybe just a way of making noise.
The red falcon turned and flew out the window.
Outside, the sky was already completely dark.
Almost the moment it flew out, it merged seamlessly into the night.
Huh? Why did it leave?!
I thought the falcon would stay.
No, sis, don’t assume that.
If it stayed, Teacher Wen would have to take care of it.
Rescue and pet ownership are two different things!
…
The red falcon was gone.
Wen You Ning leaned out the window to check, making sure it had taken off successfully and hadn’t gotten stuck in the trees above again.
Only then did she relax.
The little tabby cat immediately followed, jumping onto the windowsill and preparing to leap down.
With quick reflexes, Wen You Ning grabbed it.
“Hmm? Where do you think you’re going?”
No kitten could sneak out under her watch!
“Meow!”
‘I’m going to catch it and bring it back!’
The cat thought: The food that the human caught has run away.
That cannot happen!
The cat won’t allow it!
The little tabby flailed its paws wildly.
‘Once I catch that prey, I’m going to… I’m going to… I’m going to…’
Finally, it opened its mouth and bit down!
‘Eat it!’
Wen You Ning didn’t know how to dispel the tabby cat’s hunting obsession.
“We have lots of food at home.
We don’t hunt.
There’s enough meat at home to last us a long time.”
More importantly… in the city, any bird you catch is at least a nationally protected species.
If one showed up every day, Wen You Ning figured her livestream would eventually get reported.
