Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 17 Rescue the Puppy
After Ban You returned to the courtyard, he started working hard. He took out the rice paper and brush he bought from the street, and wrote and drew for a long time. Finally, looking at the exquisite pictures, he couldn't help feeling proud.

"Luckily I learned Chinese painting when I was young, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to draw well."

"Girl! Girl!" Li Yiyi's voice came from outside the door.

"Auntie, Sister Yiyi, you are here!" Ban You quickly picked up his previous work and handed it to them to see.

"Look, this is what I just drew, how about it?"

"Wow, this looks very exquisite." Li Yiyi liked it very much at the first sight, "Sister, you have such a skillful hand."

Ban You smiled and looked at them: "By the way, why did you come here in such a hurry?"

"Oh! I almost forgot. Auntie said she can embroider and asked you not to look for someone else first. It costs money, and we don't spend money on our own."

Ban You was so surprised when she heard the news that she didn't know what to say. She looked at Aunt Wang and held her hands with both of her own: "That's great! Auntie, thank you."

"You silly child, why are you thanking me?"

They spent the whole day studying how to embroider the patterns and what kind of threads and fabrics to buy. It was already evening when they finished.

"It's already so late." Ban You looked up at the sky. "How about this? Tomorrow morning, Sister Yiyi and I will go to the street to buy some yarn and fabric. We'll make a few designs first, then set up a table at the entrance of the courtyard and let the customers vote. We'll make the ones with the most votes first."

"to make!"

The next morning, Ban You and Li Yiyi went to Chun'an Street.

This is the street with the most embroidery products in Yuncheng, and the prices are relatively uniform.

They bought the necessary balls of yarn and cloth as agreed yesterday and prepared to go back.

Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, Ban You saw several people gathered in front of him, punching and kicking a mixed-breed puppy.

"Stop!" Seeing this, Ban You stuffed the things in his arms into Li Yiyi's arms and rushed forward.

"Girl! Girl!" Li Yiyi followed with the pile of things in her hands.

"What are you doing?!" Ban You asked with anger on his face and eyes.

"This little beast stole our buns. What's wrong with me beating it up? Stop meddling in other people's business!" One of the men had a fierce face and looked at Ban You with disdain. He pushed him.

Ban You was pushed backward by him. If Li Yiyi hadn't supported her from behind, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Even if it stole your buns, it's just a dog and doesn't understand human nature. Why did you beat it like this?"

Ban You walked forward and wanted to pick up the puppy.

"Get out! I tell you, this is the dog I raised. I can beat it however I want. I will stew it later. Hahahahahahaha..." The man said and pushed Ban You harder. Ban You was prepared and dodged, so he did not fall to the ground.

"Then I want to buy him. How much does it cost?" Ban You took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and resisted the urge to rush forward.

"Money? If you don't want money, I won't sell it. What can you do to me? Hahahahaha..."

Ban You tried to hold back the man's ugly face, but she couldn't help it any longer. She shook her fist and punched him, making him scream.

"You little bitch, you dare to hit me? Go!"

Outside of this chaos, Zhou Heng was standing in the dark watching all this.

"Master, aren't we going over there?" The speaker was Zhou Heng's guard Duosha.

"Look at her. She doesn't look like a lady at all. She's so rude."

Duoshao, who was standing nearby, looked at his master's admiring expression with a helpless look.

"Master, I see you admire Miss Ban very much."

"Hiss, what nonsense..." Zhou Heng knocked Tushe's head with his fan, "Let's go."

"Oh, right, have the county magistrate arrest these people. Yuncheng is right next to the capital, and to have such malicious animal abuse is truly outrageous. Give them twenty lashes and throw them in jail. Never let them out again." "Okay."

Ban You didn't notice Zhou Heng coming and going, but clenched his fists and rushed towards the group of men.

Li Yiyi, who was standing by, also put his things in the corner and joined the "battle".

But they were women after all, and naturally couldn't match the strength of men. Even though Ban You had martial arts training in her original world, she had been busy making money since arriving here and hadn't practiced much, so she was hit several times in a short while.

Fortunately, the county magistrate immediately brought people over and stopped the fight.

"What are you doing?" The county magistrate quickly sent people to arrest the men.

"Someone reported that you were abusing animals here and attempting to beat others. Take them away!" After saying this, the county magistrate looked at Ban You meaningfully.

He was horrified when he received the order. That woman was a favorite of the nobles in the capital, and he couldn't afford to offend her. The messenger also specifically told him not to be rude to the two women, but to take the offending men away and not to say anything else.

Before Ban You could react, the men had been taken away.

Ban You quickly picked up the dying puppy and returned to You'an Hall.

"Sister Li, please go and boil some hot water for me first."

After Ban You sent Li Yiyi away, he quickly called the system.

"System, quick, is there any way to save it?" Ban You checked the puppy's breath and pulse, but they were both extremely weak.

The conditions nowadays are not as good as they are today. There is nothing available. Even if we want to do a CT scan for the puppy, there is no way.

"Host, it is too seriously injured. There is no way to treat it with current medical methods."

"I beg you, please save it, it's only a few months old." Ban You said while crying, tears flowing uncontrollably.

"Host, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I really have no other options. If these little animals could be brought back to life, the world would be in chaos, so I really can't help you."

"Please, please, help it, please..." Ban You's voice became softer and softer. He knelt on the ground crying, his hands full of blood. The puppy raised its nose and tried hard to move and stick to Ban You's hand.

"Ouch~" (It hurts~ It hurts so much~)

"Woo~" (Don't cry, Qiuqiu can't move now and can't stick to you, please don't cry.)
When Ban You heard Qiuqiu's cry, he felt even more sad.

"What should I do to save you? What should I do?"

"Woo~" (I'm so tired, I want to sleep...)
When Ban You heard this, he looked up at the puppy, only to see it slowly close its eyes and completely stop breathing.

"Girl, the water is ready!" Li Yiyi walked in with a basin of water.

"No need, it's gone..." Ban You said this weakly.

The basin fell to the ground with a loud bang.

As a veterinarian, Ban You was accustomed to the death of animals, but she still couldn't accept it when it happened again.

Such a vibrant life was beaten to death, yet he was still comforting her. She looked at the blood on her hands, but could do nothing.

She hated it so much, hated herself for not showing up earlier, hated herself for not saving it, hated... those people who treated animals as toys and trampled on them at will!

Maybe they shouldn't be called people.

It said it was called Qiuqiu;

It said don’t cry, it can’t move;
It said it was tired and wanted to sleep.

……

　May the world be peaceful, may animal protection laws appear soon, and may every little animal be treated kindly...
