...
I'm sure even the people on the next mountain could hear my screams.
A thin blade dangled from the end of the whip, slicing countless small gashes all over my body, tiger fur falling to the ground. I covered my head with my paws, curled up into a ball, and lay on the ground, wailing repeatedly.
The whip stopped falling, and I dared not move. After a while, I felt a warm hand cover my head.
"Retract your claws." A clear, gentle voice came from above.
I quickly took my paws off my head and stretched them out on either side of my head.
Hua Cijing bent down to look at me, her hand still on my forehead. She touched my ear and asked, "Do you still want me to be your man?"
I shook my head, silently shedding tears. I'd rather die than accept this.
"Very good, get up, you can go now." Hua Cijing patted my head and then straightened up.
"You just let me go like that?" I looked up at him in confusion.
Hua Cijing looked down at me and gave me a bright smile. I shivered, quickly took a few steps back, and turned to run in another direction.
Before I had run two steps, a whip grazed my nose and struck the ground in front of me, leaving a shallow crater with wisps of yellow smoke rising from it.
Hua Cijing said calmly behind me, "Where are you going? Get over here now."
So I had no choice but to roll over. I couldn't beat him, and his whip hurt a lot. I was still a little unwilling and argued softly, "Didn't you just tell me to leave?"
Hua Cijing lifted his outer robe and slowly wrapped the silver whip around his waist.
Without the cover of clothing, a plain white belt, about the width of a hand, was visible tightly around her waist. Hua Cijing's waist looked very slender, and the silver whip wrapped around it did not make her look bulky at all, but rather like a beautiful ornament.
Hua Cijing said, "I told you to leave, but I didn't tell you to go that way."
"Then where do you want me to go?" Do you expect me to jump off the cliff by the roadside?
Hua Cijing beckoned to me, signaling me to come closer. She then took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, shook it, and laid it flat on my back.
"Of course they followed me." The tone was completely matter-of-fact.
Then, he... plopped down on my back.
Before I could react, my legs went weak and I almost collapsed to the ground.
Hua Cijing blew on my head, steadied himself by placing his hand on my head, and complained with dissatisfaction: "I told you to get lost, and you actually did it. You're so dirty."
I screamed in my heart, pounding my chest, "I'm a mother! I'm a mother! I'm a mother! Awooooo!"
(three)
I was ridden by Hua Cijing for a day and a half, and we arrived at a teahouse on the outskirts of the city at noon on the second day.
Hua Cijing went inside to drink tea, while I was tied to a big tree by the door with a hemp rope.
It's not that I can't escape; although I'm useless, my teeth are still good.
I dared not run away. Throughout the day, I tried to act cute, act weak, throw a tantrum, and even had an epileptic seizure, and the end result was that I got another beating.
I was bored lying there, so I looked around and saw a waiter with a hole in his butt on the second floor, holding a teapot and peeking at me from the windowsill.
I stood up, looked at him, licked my lips, feeling a little thirsty: "Hooray! (Give me a bowl of water)!"
Xiao Er interprets "吼吼吼吼吼" as "I'm going to kill you".
The waiter cried and then ran away.
Hua Cijing won't let me transform into human form, nor will he let me speak human language.
That pervert!
Hua Cijing leaned out of the window next door and casually tossed a bag down.
Using his paws, he peeled back the outer oil paper, revealing a piece of boiled beef.
The beef smells delicious, and I'm very hungry.
I'll just eat a little bit, it should be fine, right? I'll bite off a small corner.
Waaaaah... I want more. Just a little lick, then a tiny bite, then another little lick, then a tiny bite.
When I licked him for the eighteenth time, Hua Cijing came out of the door. He looked at the beef that was still mostly left, untied the rope tied to the tree, and amidst the fearful, amazed, and envious gazes of the crowd, I was ridden by him again.
Hua Cijing had been stroking his chin thoughtfully since earlier, and hadn't said a word the whole way. No one knew what he was thinking.
The mirror is heavy with flowers, I'm very tired, and I'm still hungry.
On the road, I encountered a man, a woman, a blind man, and a lame man. Everyone except the blind man ran away, but the blind man touched me.
There seem to be more and more people.
Hua Cijing suddenly jumped off my back, brushed away the blind man's hand that wanted to touch me again, and said in a gentle and refined manner, "Brother, please come this way. This is my mount."
We're almost at the city gate; I can't keep going like this. Hua Cijing looked at me, as if deep in thought.
"I can transform into human form." I offered my sycophantic plan, I never wanted to be ridden again!
Hua Cijing frowned and thought for a moment, then looked away and said softly, "No, it's too ugly. I can bear the suffering of my eyes alone."
Hmph, they say I'm ugly! What should I do? I'm thinking of rebelling!
Hua Cijing stretched out his left hand, pulled up his sleeve, revealing a section of his jade-like wrist. Then, he lowered his head, bit his middle finger, and, ignoring my resistance, smeared a drop of blood on my forehead.
Then I heard Hua Cijing softly chant a line. I started to shrink, shrink, and shrink some more. I turned my head and found that Hua Cijing was gone. I turned around and saw Hua Cijing's feet; my whole body had become the size of his feet…
And so, Hua Cijing picked me up, stuffed me into his sleeve, and went into the city.
The sleeves were too big; I only poked my head out, and all I could see were butts of all sizes and colors coming and going. It was so boring, so I crawled back inside and curled up in a ball. So this is what the city is like, huh? Not as interesting as Su Daidai described.
