The taxi driver did not expect that this ordinary-looking passenger was a former Sanda coach of the National Armed Police Corps, won three consecutive 75kg Sanda champions in the National Military Competition, and won third and second prizes several times. After retiring, he was hired by a security company with a high salary and became the boss's exclusive bodyguard and the company's chief martial arts instructor.

In fact, if he had a choice, Tie Ning would not want to leave the armed police force that trained him, but his family is from a remote mountainous area in western Sichuan, and his family is in a difficult situation. There are younger brothers and sisters waiting for him to grow up, especially the youngest brother who just started college this year. Medicine, tuition fees are huge, relying on the salaries and allowances of the armed police alone is really a drop in the bucket.

After entering the security company, he was freed from the heavy daily training of the armed police force, and he lived a very leisurely life, which made him uncomfortable. His task is to instruct other coaches in the company every morning, and then let them train ordinary security guards, stay close to each other when the boss leaves the company, and pick him up when the boss goes to and from get off work, that's all.

The boss appreciates him very much and treats him very well. He gave him an apartment and a car on the day the contract was signed. Since he joined the job for more than half a year, it has been calm, and he has not encountered anything. It is almost equivalent to lying down to make money.

But Tie Ning knew that the job of being a bodyguard was to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. When nothing happened, he would be bored. If something happened, he might have to use his body to block bullets for the boss. Only in this way could he repay the boss for his kindness. Therefore, he did not dare to relax his tempering at all. Since retiring, he has maintained very good physical fitness and fighting skills.

He was deeply surprised when he received a call from the boss this time. He was asked to secretly protect a little girl playing a live broadcast, and to help her when she was in trouble, and he could not reveal his identity. The boss made it very clear on the phone that protecting the little girl's personal safety is the top priority, and it doesn't matter if you do it harder, as long as no one is killed, even if something happens, the three important bosses in Binhai City will work together to protect her. he.

After receiving the mission, Tie Ning rushed to Qiyuan Pet Store in the style of the armed police force. He didn't see Xiaoxue enter the store, but he could see Xiaoxue clearly when she came out. By comparing the photos uploaded by the mobile phone, he confirmed that This is what he wants to protect.

He couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, this little girl was about the same age as his younger siblings, but her status was quite different, she didn't have to go to work or go to school, and lived a carefree life every day, even going out to cause trouble People covertly protect...Reincarnation is really a technical job, you can't accept it!

It's just that Tie Ning entered the bodyguard industry too soon after all, and when he accepted the task, he even forgot to ask - Do you want to protect Xiaoxue's companion?

He was sitting in the passenger seat of the taxi, staring at the two heads protruding from the back of the taxi ahead... no, it was three heads, which belonged to a middle-aged woman, a young man and a dog—just as he Thinking so, a fourth head emerged from the young man's hood, a gray parrot.

If Xiaoxue is fine, but her companion is in trouble, what should he do?

Tie Ning was very contradictory. The years of education he received in the Armed Police Force made him unable to stand idly by when the lives of the people were violated. A great master of martial arts.

Grandmaster of martial arts?

Tienin smiled silently.

The so-called great master of martial arts may have won several martial arts routine championships, right? When he saw those who practiced this, in layman's terms, they were just putting on airs, and it was incomparable with Tiening's grappling and fighting, which aimed to defeat the enemy in actual combat and make the enemy lose the ability to resist. So if something happened,

It is estimated that he still cannot avoid the shot.

The taxi traveled across half of Binhai City and arrived at the Dog Market in Nancheng District.

Tie Ning's hometown is in the west of Sichuan, he can be regarded as an out-of-towner, he has only been in Binhai City for half a year, and he can't even understand many local dialects, so naturally he has never been to the dog market.

Seeing that Xiaoxue and her companions had already got out of the car, he asked the driver of his car to stop on the side of the road, put the invoice handed over by the driver into his pocket, and waited to go back for reimbursement.

Xiaoxue held the mobile phone steadily, and slowly rotated half a circle on the spot, taking pictures of the largest pet distribution center in Binhai City for the audience to see.

This area of ​​Nancheng District is surrounded by low and old two-story buildings or one-story houses. Vendors selling various pets occupy their respective positions. Bicycles, electric vehicles, tricycles and pedestrians shuttle between the gaps. The ground is full of Floating soil, whenever the cold wind blows, there will be sand and dust.

Deng Jie put the mask back on, and kindly handed Xiaoxue a spare pair of brand new masks, but Xiaoxue was worried that the audience would not be able to hear her clearly after wearing the mask, so she smiled softly.

Zhang Zian looked up, it was almost noon, and the sky was getting cloudier, maybe it was going to snow.

This is just the edge of the dog market, and it is already so lively.

With a casual glance, he saw some selling cold-water fish, some selling squirrels and rabbits, some selling parrots, starlings and magpies. There were many customers onlookers, haggling with the vendors from time to time.

He patted Xiaoxue on the shoulder, pointed to a vendor selling dyed chickens, and said with emotion: "I remember when I was in elementary school, someone set up a stall selling this at the school gate. I didn't expect that there are still people selling it now."

There were about thirty or forty fluffy chicks in the basket, packed full, each of them was a beautiful orange color, and they squeaked and squawked with their mouths open. Several senior elementary school students and their parents gathered around the chicken baskets, pointing enthusiastically, while the vendors would pluck the chickens from time to time to persuade them to buy a few back.

The price of chicks is very cheap, five for two yuan and three for six yuan. For today's children, it is only the price of a pack of snacks or a can of drinks.

These elementary school students were a little hesitant, worried that they would not be able to feed them if they bought them back, but the vendors swore that they would be well fed, as long as they fed them millet.

When the parents heard it was so cheap, they were willing to buy it for their children, because the children clamored to buy pets, so they brought their children to the dog market. Cats and dogs are too expensive, so it is better to buy a few chickens to fool around. Just a few minutes after Zhang Zian and the others got off the car, several chicks had already been bought.

It was the first time for Xiaoxue to see a chicken seller, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! So cute!"

"Cute is cute, but the problem is that you can't keep them alive." Zhang Zian smiled helplessly, "I was also cheated when I was a child. I bought two chicks with pocket money, but they died the next day. I was very sad for a while. Son. You see, the feathers of these chicks are brightly colored, but they are actually dyed—the fluff of a newborn chick should be light yellow, how can there be such a bright orange?"

"Eh? The dyed color?" Xiaoxue was happy, and when she heard these words, she felt as if cold water was splashed on her head.

"Yeah, these vendors put a large group of chickens in a container like a plastic basin or a plastic bucket, pour industrial dyes into the container, and in order to color evenly and not fade, the dye is often still hot, and then keep stirring , After the dyeing is finished, pour them out of the container and dry them under the sun to become such a dyed chicken." Zhang Zian explained.

Xiaoxue wrinkled her face, "It's so pitiful!"

She looked at the chicken vendor again, her eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something.

A few seconds later, she asked again: "Can the dye still wash off?"

Zhang Zian guessed what she was thinking, and immediately dismissed her thoughts, "Don't plan to buy these chicks and wash them, they won't live long. The poison has already invaded their internal organs. Tomorrow, at most, the day after tomorrow, They will die, you can't save them. It's poisonous industrial dye, the cheapest kind, and these street vendors have to wear thick rubber gloves and gas masks when dyeing."

"It's cruel!" Xiaoxue stared fiercely at the smiling street vendor counting money.

He thought that Xiaoxue wanted to buy chickens, so he waved to her, signaling her to come over.

A wave of parents and children happily left with the dyed chickens. Not long after, another wave of parents brought their children to the dog market. They were attracted by the brightly colored chickens and stopped to watch. It was only a matter of time before they paid for them.

Deng Jie shook her head and persuaded: "Don't be angry, child. Actually, think about it. Even if these chicks didn't come out of their shells, they were eaten as eggs. If they can hatch, they have already lived a few days longer... "

Xiaoxue knew that what Deng Jie said was right, logically speaking, but... she always felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Zian said slowly: "There is a saying that is very reasonable. If there is no business, there will be no harm."

Although the price of each chick is cheap, with such a high traffic flow in the dog market, it is estimated that such a vendor can sell at least a hundred chickens in a day, and the profit of each chicken is nearly two yuan, and the income is almost two hundred yuan a day. . Although immoral, it is indeed much better than going to a restaurant to wash dishes, and it has no technical content.

Parents who buy these chicks as pets for their children are mostly people from the bottom of society who are financially strapped. After raising the chickens to death, you can justifiably refuse the children to buy other pets, why not do it?

The only ones who get hurt are the children, and they feel sorry for the dead chickens, not knowing that the chickens are mortal at all, not raised by them.

"Let's go, take a look inside." Zhang Zian went first.

Phymus followed behind him.

Richard curled up in his hood, hurting the poor chicken.
