Da Niu was still foolishly agreeing with Liu Shengrui.
“It’s okay, we have it,” Liu Shengrui said, pointing to the puppy lying in front of them.
“Yes, we can play with it!” Da Niu said innocently.
At this time, more and more children and military wives appeared in the courtyard, and everyone gathered together to play.
The suddenly appearing puppy became the most popular new friend.
"Wow, so cute! Let me touch it!" a little girl exclaimed excitedly, trying to get to the front, but unfortunately, she was blocked and couldn't find a good spot to touch the puppy.
Liu Shengrui was very sensible and immediately stood up to let the little girl have her way.
"Come here," Liu Shengrui said.
"Thank you, Liu Shengrui, you're so kind!" the little girl said, thanking Liu Shengrui.
Liu Shengrui was very happy and satisfied to be thanked.
When he was pretending, he relied on such praise as a source of happiness, or rather, as a reward for his hard work in pretending.
"You're welcome," Liu Shengrui said.
A large group of children surrounded the puppy, all vying to play with it. But Liu Shengrui, watching this scene, felt a strange sense of confidence. He felt that the puppy belonged to him, and he enjoyed the feeling of his puppy being adored by other children, just as he himself was being adored.
Even though the other children were very gentle with the puppy, petting it gently and never bullying it, the puppy still couldn't escape and would look at Liu Shengrui from time to time.
Liu Shengrui was overjoyed to find the puppy watching him.
No one noticed anything wrong with the puppy.
Liu Shengrui felt like he had gained a new toy, just like his old friend Xiaomi. Now, he seemed to understand better how to play with this rare new toy than before.
The puppy seemed to have nowhere to go, and Liu Shengrui encountered it several times when he went out alone afterward.
Liu Shengrui followed suit and happily interacted with the puppy many times. He enjoyed the feeling more and more, but as soon as other children appeared, he would turn back into the fake Liu Shengrui.
But a puppy is just a puppy. After Liu Shengrui’s repeated acts of violence, the puppy’s body could not bear the strain and it was finally injured and became weaker and weaker.
"Little dog, we're here again!"
"Good little puppy, let me pet you. I went back and begged Mom and Dad yesterday, but they still won't let me take you home. Don't run around, I'll come out to play with you every day and bring you treats, okay?"
Liu Shengrui's violent behavior caused the puppy to develop a strong fear of children, even if other children did not bully it.
They simply couldn't escape, so they had to become "toys" for all the children.
"Huh? The puppy looks a bit strange today," Da Niu said, petting the puppy and sensing something was off.
As the puppy grew increasingly frightened, its trembling became more pronounced, especially when children touched it, at which point the shaking intensified.
Da Niu noticed and got a little scared, so he immediately shouted, "The puppy is trembling! Can you feel it? It's really trembling!"
As a result, more children gathered around and stared at the puppy.
"Yes, I saw it, it's shaking!"
Even if no one pets the puppy, it still trembles with fear just being surrounded by so many children.
Why is it trembling? Is it scared?
"It's trembling because it's scared, but we just petted it, played with it, and didn't bully it. Why is it afraid of us?"
A group of children didn't understand; they were just playing, so why were they scared?
"Waaah..."
The puppy no longer barked like it used to. It was too weak and could only whimper from time to time, lying weakly on the ground, looking at everyone with complicated eyes.
Just then, the puppy's whimpers became more urgent.
A group of children were terrified and at a loss for what to do.
Immediately afterward, the puppy made a rapid sound and then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
"It's vomiting blood! It's vomiting blood!"
The scarlet color greatly startled the children, who had never seen anything like it before. They were terrified, and some of the more timid ones even burst into tears on the spot.
"Waaaaah... The puppy is vomiting blood, it's going to die, what should I do, it's going to die!"
In the children's world, vomiting blood is almost equivalent to dying, and their days are numbered.
Everyone loves this little dog. They've played together for days and feel they've developed a bond with it, so they can't accept the fact that it's about to die.
"No, the puppy is our friend, we can't let it die!" a child shouted, immediately getting up and running towards his mother, yelling as he ran, "Mommy, help! Help me—"
The sudden cries for help startled the military wives.
Even if there are some conflicts between the children, at most it's just that one child is bullied and starts crying, shouting for help, but this is still the first time ever.
Many military spouses were also frightened.
"What happened? What's the situation with the children?"
"Let's go, let's go take a look!"
"Mom, help!"
The military wife, whose son was crying for help, first confirmed that her child was not in any "life-threatening danger" before looking at him disapprovingly and scolding him.
"What are you yelling about, you little brat? Do you know you're scaring your mother?!"
"Mom, no, I didn't shout. The puppy is vomiting blood, it's dying! Please go and save it, none of us want the puppy to die!"
More children started crying and shouting, saying they didn't want the puppy to die.
"Is the puppy dying?"
A strange little dog appeared in the compound. Many military wives knew about this, and the children were also aware of it. Sometimes when they went out to play, many children would bring food for the dog.
"Why is he suddenly dying and coughing up blood?"
The military wives weren't veterinarians and didn't have the skills to treat small animals. Hearing their children's words, they were anxious but didn't know what to do.
It just so happens that Su Yueya also brought her two siblings, Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an, out to play today. Although she is not a veterinarian, she is a doctor, and is at least the one among these military wives who is most closely related to the word "medicine".
"Crescent Moon Girl, you're a doctor, why don't you take a look at this puppy and see what's wrong with it?"
Su Yueya wasn't a veterinarian, but she could still give the puppy a simple check-up to at least figure out what was going on, so she didn't refuse.
She nodded and walked over.
"Children, please step aside so that Auntie can take a look at the puppy."
