Chapter 157: Gaining an Adorable Piglet Companion

Lin Xiaodou followed the little sparrow all the way.

After making her way through a small grove, she finally spotted the little piglet hiding inside a tiny mountain cave.

The little piglet was entirely pink in color, with a very prominent black circular birthmark on its rump.

Right now, it was lying fast asleep inside the cave, completely unaware that someone was approaching.

A few precious medicinal herbs were placed beside it, and the broken ends of the herbs clearly showed signs of having been nibbled on.

Lin Xiaodou raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.

Could this little piglet have gained sentience just like her adorable pet, the little jumping spider?

Seemingly sensing the presence of a living person, the little piglet slightly opened its eyes and looked toward Lin Xiaodou with a hint of vigilance.

Within mere seconds, its gaze turned curious.

Oink, what is going on? The scent coming from this human is simply so wonderful.

It really wants to run over and rub against her, it really does!

The little piglet tilted its little head, looking at her with bright, sparkling eyes.

Lin Xiaodou smiled gently and extended her hand: "Come here, Little Roundy, come to me."

--Little Roundy, this was the name she had given it when she delivered it during its birth.

She never expected it would come in handy now.

The little piglet did not dislike this name at all.

With a couple of soft snorts from its snout, it trotted over eagerly and rubbed against the little hand of the human before it.

It really felt so comfortable, it liked it so much!

Maybe it should give the medicinal herbs it found to this human (*^▽^*)~

Reading the thoughts of the little piglet before her, Lin Xiaodou's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"What a good baby. Come, I'll feed you something."

With that, she conjured a large bowl of fragrant multi-grain porridge from her spatial dimension and placed it on the ground.

The moment the little piglet caught the aroma, its eyes went wide.

Yet it did not rush to eat; instead, it looked up at Lin Xiaodou.

With tenderness in her eyes, Lin Xiaodou smiled and patted its little head:

"Eat up, this is my treat for you."

The little piglet snorted twice to express its gratitude, then rushed forward and began to feast hungrily.

Gobbling it all down in a flurry, it finished everything in less than a minute.

During this time, Lin Xiaodou also took out a handful of millet to feed the lead-providing little sparrow.

Seeing the little piglet eat with such enthusiasm, Lin Xiaodou offered a tempting invitation:

"Would you like to come with me? You'll have porridge to eat every day from now on~"

Since she had managed to encounter such a spiritual little creature, she naturally had to take it under her wing.

"Oink! Oink!"

The little piglet hopped around with joy.

This meant it had agreed.

Lin Xiaodou stroked its soft little head again: "Such a good boy!"

When she carried the little piglet back, Sister Chen was quite surprised.

"This little fellow usually only warms up to me; it doesn't let anyone else touch it. I never expected it would actually let you hold it."

"Of course! Xiaodou has a wonderful affinity with animals. Even the old yellow ox in our village is very close to her!"

Liu Yan'er recounted with excitement the previous events involving the old yellow ox back in Black Stone Village.

Sister Chen listened from the side, repeatedly uttering sounds of amazement.

Then, to her dismay, she made the tragic discovery that the little piglet she had raised for months no longer wanted her.

"You little ungrateful thing, you know Xiaodou is pretty, so you just keep letting her hold you."

Sister Chen felt a mix of jealousy and resignation in her heart.

However, these reflections lasted only a few minutes.

After all, they were just livestock at the pig-breeding farm; anyone could raise them.

When the evening shift ended, Lin Xiaodou carried the little piglet and went to Section Chief Hu's office.

Upon hearing that Lin Xiaodou wanted to spend money to buy a little piglet, Section Chief Hu's first reaction was:

"Are you planning to take it back to fatten it up and eat it? There's no need to go through all that trouble. Our pig-breeding farm will be distributing pork at the end of the year anyway."

Lin Xiaodou replied: "No, I simply think it's cute and want to take it down to the countryside to raise it."

This was a white lie; she wanted to place the little piglet into her spatial dimension, but she needed an official justification for it first.

"Very well." Regarding Lin Xiaodou's request, Section Chief Hu did not refuse:

"You've performed very well during your tenure, so on behalf of the pig-breeding farm, I'll reward this little piglet to you. I hope you'll keep up the good work!"

A glint of joy flashed in Lin Xiaodou's eyes: "Thank you, Section Chief Hu! I will continue to work hard!"

The next day, Lin Xiaodou, accompanied by the little piglet and Liu Yan'er, returned to Black Stone Village.

Now that both of them were employees of the pig-breeding farm, they could be considered to have brought honor to Black Stone Village.

As soon as the villagers saw them return, they all came over with smiles to greet them.

When they arrived at the team leader's house and saw the little piglet in her arms,

the team leader and his wife asked a few curious questions before letting the matter rest.

They all knew that this girl Lin Xiaodou handled things with discretion, so there was no need to worry.

To celebrate their return during their break, the team leader's wife specially prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

Lin Xiaodou ate until her mouth was filled with savory flavors, feeling utterly satisfied.

After the meal, Lin Xiaodou took a leisurely stroll back to the wooden cabin in the back mountain.

Upon reaching the familiar place, Lin Xiaodou slipped into her spatial dimension.

As soon as she entered, the little jumping spider, the little golden snub-nosed monkey, and the little brown bear all swarmed around her.

Seeing that a new member had joined, the little fellows were beside themselves with excitement.

Especially the little brown bear.

Ranking third, it had always been bullied by the eldest, the little jumping spider, and the second eldest, the little golden snub-nosed monkey.

Now, a little fourth had arrived to rank right behind it.

It finally had someone it could bully too!

Happy spinning and twirling!!

It was the little piglet's first time entering the spatial dimension, and it was extremely curious.

Its little eyes darted around everywhere, flashing with astonishment and delight.

Seeing that its master actually had other adorable pets, its snout gave a little huff.

It was the smartest little piglet in the entire world, and its master would definitely love it the most!

These few little blockheads could just serve as its underlings.

However, the moment the little piglet made this demand, it immediately invited a baring-of-fangs encirclement and attack.

The little jumping spider flew onto its head, waving its furry little legs to direct the little golden snub-nosed monkey and the little brown bear in their charge.

"Give it a thrashing until its backside blooms! How dare it try to steal my position as the boss? Does it even want its pig rear anymore?"

Since it was technically a subordinate, they couldn't hit its face; they could only discipline its backside.

The little golden snub-nosed monkey pulled out a baseball bat from goodness knows where and began a relentless hammering session against the little piglet's rear.

The little brown bear didn't hold anything, simply using its fists to pummel the little piglet's backside.

Howling with every blow from the two fellows, the little piglet scrambled away in a flurry.

In an instant, the spatial dimension was turned completely upside down, lively to the extreme.

While the pets were having a fierce scuffle over there, Lin Xiaodou was lounging comfortably on a massage chair, eating durian and cherries while watching a movie.

Ever since she started working at the pig-breeding farm, she hadn't had much time to enter her spatial dimension.

Now that she was finally back inside, Lin Xiaodou emptied her mind and indulged in pure enjoyment.

One had to admit that watching a movie was the most suitable way to pass the time and relax one's mood.

Especially heartwarming and comedic films.

After finishing the movie, Lin Xiaodou whipped up a luxurious feast for herself.

Naturally, she didn't forget to prepare some tasty treats for the little fellows.

At the small dining table designated for the pets.

Looking at the food before it, the little piglet cowered in a corner, not daring to move a muscle.

"Squeak, squeak!"

At the command of the boss, the little jumping spider, the little golden snub-nosed monkey and the little brown bear immediately lowered their heads and began to devour their food ravenously.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, the little piglet rolled its eyes and lowered its head to eat as well.

Wuwuwu, this is so delicious!

Even though its rear end hurt quite a bit, today was still a very happy day~
