Chapter 44: Nine-headed dog
The next moment, a milk-white puppy jumped out from the back mountain, and then directly bumped into Su Yan.
"Woof!"
The puppy barked at Su Yan warily. The bark was weak, like a little cat.
Su Yan lowered her eyes and realized that the puppy's limbs were stained red with blood, the white fur on its body was dusty, and its big eyes were filled with tears.
"Chase me!"
"He ran over there. If we can't catch him today, you will all die!"
"There! There!"
As the light got closer and closer, Su Yan realized that it was a group of men in black holding torches, walking in this direction.
Su Yan lowered her head and glanced at the puppy again.
The puppy also looked at her.
Su Yan immediately understood that the group of people were probably chasing the puppy. Although she didn't know why, judging from the condition of the puppy, if it was found, it would probably be a dead end.
Su Yan turned to look at Liang Zhe, who nodded.
Then, Su Yan picked up the puppy and ran away with Liang Zhe.
By the time the man in black walked to where they were just now, Su Yan and Liang Zhe had already disappeared.
"Boss! I just saw it clearly and ran here!"
The one-eyed man next to the leader scratched his head and defended himself.
However, the leader slapped him in the face, and the blindfold on his face flew away instantly, revealing an empty eyeball, which looked extremely scary in the dark night.
Even so, the one-eyed man was still extremely afraid of the leader, and stood by him obediently, not daring to pick up his blindfold. The others were the same, standing motionless, waiting for the leader to give orders.
The leader looked around, but saw no sign of the dog, and then said angrily: "Trash! If you don't hurry up and look for me, if you can't find that Jiulang dog, you will die with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black scattered in the shape of birds and beasts.
The leader stood there for a while, then suddenly looked at the ground with a torch. The footprints on the ground were messy, but the dog's paw prints could still be seen clearly. Looking further ahead, the paw prints were strangely missing.
——
Su Yan hugged the dog and thought of the group of men in black. She didn't dare to stop at all and ran back home in one breath.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief and put the puppy in her arms on the ground.
As if the puppy knew it was safe, it lay on the ground after being put down, exposing its tender and tender belly.
"Little one, you're really not afraid that I'll catch you too."
Seeing it like this, Su Yan couldn't help but rub its belly. Not to mention, it felt really good.
"Woof~woof~"
Not only did the puppy not run away, but it turned its head and rubbed Su Yan's hand, as if to say, I know you are not a bad person and will not catch me.
"Hahaha." Su Yan picked up the puppy and asked Liang Zhe, "Zhe, this little thing can understand human speech."
Liang Zhe sat on the stool and took a breath. He had been running too hard just now, and his heartbeat was a little fast at the moment. He sat for a while before he recovered.
He had just taken a sip of tea, and when he heard Su Yan's words, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the puppy in her arms.
The puppy held in Su Yan's arms blinked at him.
Liang Zhe frowned subconsciously, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that the puppy was very dirty, and he didn't know why Su Yan liked it so much.
"How's it going? Is it cute?"
Su Yan asked with bright eyes.
"cute…"
Liang Zhe took another sip of tea and replied.
"Hahaha, I feel the same way. There are only two of us in this family, and now there is another little member, hehe."
Su Yan said excitedly.
Liang Zhe's thick black eyelashes trembled slightly. When he looked at the dirty puppy again, he felt that it was not that dirty anymore.
The two rested for a while.
Liang Zhe took out the boiled water, Su Yan mixed it with warm water and gave the puppy a bath.
After taking a bath, the water in the basin was black and red.
The puppy also showed its original appearance. Its fur was snow-white and soft to the touch. The dust on its face was washed away, revealing a face that is adorable to death.
It seemed to know that it was cute now, and it arched its head towards Su Yan and whispered "woof woof woof".
The sound made Su Yan's heart melt instantly. She rubbed the puppy's head and said, "Don't move around. I'm going to treat your wound now."
After wiping the puppy's body clean, Liang Zhe took out the medical kit Su Yan had bought before. Su Yan began to bandage the puppy's wounds. The wounds on the puppy were mainly on its limbs. After the blood was washed away, its original appearance was revealed.
Four incisions were exposed in front of the two of them. Although they had begun to scar, the horror of the wounds could still be seen.
"What kind of person wouldn't let such a cute puppy go?"
Su Yan muttered something in her mouth and began to treat the puppy's wounds in an orderly manner.
Strangely enough, as soon as she applied the medicine, the puppy's wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a quarter of an hour, all four incisions disappeared.
"Is this medicine so powerful?"
Su Yan scratched her head, a little in disbelief.
But this is obviously the most common medicine in drug stores.
Liang Zhe looked at the puppy that was already running and jumping around, and couldn't help but said, "Could it be the dog?"
"It's possible."
Su Yan nodded.
The puppy jumped for a while and got tired of playing, so he nuzzled Su Yan again.
Su Yan held the puppy in her arms, and after a while, the puppy closed its eyes in her arms.
"This dog really likes to pester you."
Liang Zhe looked at Su Yan stroking the puppy's head and couldn't help but say sourly.
Su Yan didn't hear what was said at all, and replied casually: "Maybe it's because I came back with it in my arms and it is familiar with me, so it pesters me like this."
Liang Zhe glanced at the sleeping puppy in her arms and suddenly felt that it was too boring to argue with a puppy.
So he neatly took out the old clothes from the cabinet, made a nest in the room, and shouted to Su Yan: "Yan Yan, let him sleep here, it's cold outside."
Su Yan also felt a hint of coolness, walked into the house and put the dog into the den. As soon as her hand left the puppy, the puppy suddenly huddled up in a ball, showing a defensive state.
"How insecure this is."
Su Yan sighed and stretched out her hand to stroke the puppy's head.
It wasn't until the puppy showed a normal sleeping posture that she let go, covered it with a small blanket, and then walked out of the door quietly.
Liang Zhe was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and reading a book. When he saw Su Yan coming out, he handed her the letter in his hand and said, "The winter solstice will be in two days. Although I am still on vacation, I still want to see the Master."
The letter arrived at noon. Su Yan was not there at the time, so he put it casually in the book and remembered it just now.
Su Yan took the letter and glanced through it briefly. The main content was to remind Liang Zhe not to forget to visit his elders.
Every winter solstice in the Apocalypse Dynasty, the emperor would go out of the city to welcome the winter, and the people would visit their elders. Liang Zhe's mother has passed away, and his father does not know where he is. The only elder left is the master of the academy.
In previous years, when Liang Zhe was in the academy, he always visited directly at his door.
