Chapter 1842 — The Thunder Pig Hunts for Treasure, Part One
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Even with the Mighty General's help, the three of them never brought in more than five hundred to a thousand yuan a day, and no great windfall ever came. Wei Zhao's medical fees were being propped up entirely by the money Granny Sun had not yet had time to deposit in the bank. But watching that sum dwindle day by day, with every day a tight squeeze, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu were still deeply worried.
If this went on, the day would surely come when they had nothing left—they could never hold out until Wei Zhao woke.
"If we really have no other choice, then tomorrow let the Thunder Pig join us," Gu Mengyao said.
The Thunder Pig spent every day at home with Wei Zhao. Its shape was so peculiar that Gu Mengyao had been afraid to take it out for fear of drawing curious stares and crowds. But now there was no other choice.
"The Thunder Pig... hey?" A light suddenly came to Shen Yushu. "Can't the Thunder Pig sniff out rare treasures? Then couldn't it sniff out junk as well?"
"That's right!" Gu Mengyao started at her words, then said delightedly, "How did we forget that? If the Thunder Pig can hunt treasure, it ought to be able to hunt for treasures in the trash too!"
"Thunder Pig, come here!" Shen Yushu beckoned to it.
The Thunder Pig seemed to have heard their conversation, and came over somewhat reluctantly.
"Can you find the valuable things in the garbage? And don't you dare say no!" Shen Yushu told it.
"..." The Thunder Pig was speechless. If I can't say no, why ask at all? It could only nod, aggrieved.
"Good. Tomorrow you disguise yourself as a dog—I'll dress you in a furry suit, and you pretend to be a dog and help us hunt treasure!" Shen Yushu said.
Disguise itself as a dog? The Thunder Pig shook its head vigorously at once. It was not like a human; it had long been used to wearing nothing. To suddenly put on a furry suit—wouldn't it be roasted alive?
"Listen—if you don't help us hunt treasure, Brother Arrow will never wake up, and then no one will help you level up. You'll be left to fend for yourself!" Shen Yushu threatened.
The Thunder Pig really could not take a scare. At her words it nodded hastily, agreeing to everything: fine, a dog it would be.
"Tomorrow we'll see how you perform!" Shen Yushu nodded in satisfaction.
In truth, before the Thunder Pig had been brought into the scavenging, Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu had not held out much hope at all...
