"What's that sound?"
"Ah? What's wrong, sister? What's that noise?"
Feng Ming heard the strange sound and looked around curiously. Feng Yuyun was about to reach the door when she noticed that Feng Ming was not following her. She turned around and saw Feng Ming walking towards the corner of the road.
Feng Yuyun quickly picked up the hem of her skirt and trotted over to catch up.
Fengming followed the strange little voice all the way to a remote alley next to Ming Pharmacy, and then he found the owner of the voice - a small black dog.
“Woo…”
When the dirty dog saw someone coming, he looked a little frightened and whimpered and shrank into the corner. He looked so pitiful.
"Ah, it's a puppy!"
Feng Yuyun screamed loudly, scaring the poor puppy so much that it shrank back again. Feng Ming then discovered that it seemed to have an injury on its leg and was limping a little.
"Shh, keep your voice down, you'll scare her."
Feng Ming turned around and raised his index finger to make a quiet gesture to Feng Yuyun. Feng Yuyun immediately covered her mouth with both hands and nodded obediently.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Fengming lifted the veil from her face, spoke in a gentle and kind tone, and carefully approached the poor puppy in the corner.
Unexpectedly, the puppy, which was very vigilant at the beginning, actually took two tentative steps forward and approached Fengming cautiously and pitifully when Fengming did not use any food to lure it.
The puppy sniffed around the hem of Fengming's skirt, and actually walked to Fengming's feet. It rubbed its head against Fengming's ankle and let out a small "Woo~" cry. It looked up at Fengming with wet eyes, which were full of pleading and trust.
“Ah~”
Fengming felt his heart melted by the look in his eyes, and he hugged the puppy in his arms. The puppy did not resist at all, but instead changed to a comfortable position in Fengming's arms and lay down, staring at Fengming's face with a thoughtful look.
"Little thing, why are you here? You're so dirty. Are you hungry? I don't know what's wrong with your leg."
Fengming thought of what he had just seen. The puppy was lame as it retreated. He carefully parted the fur on its hind legs to check, but found a shocking scar that was still bleeding.
"Ah! Bichun, Bichun, go find a doctor quickly."
Fengming was frightened by the hideous scar that was obviously caused by human injury, and asked Bi Chun to find a veterinarian in a panic.
"Your Highness, calm down. We are still outside. You have to be careful..."
Feng Ming was reminded by Bi Chun's words and realized that she was not in the guesthouse now. She didn't know how many spies were watching her around, so she had to control her emotions.
"Well, let's go. Let's hurry back to the guesthouse. On the way, send someone to find a few more veterinarians."
"Yes, Princess, aren't we going to Ming Pharmacy?"
After all, he came out under the pretext of buying medicine for Feng Xiyun, so it didn't seem right to walk to the door and not go in. However, looking at the pitiful puppy in his arms, Feng Ming really couldn't bear it.
Helplessly, Feng Ming had to hand the puppy over to Bi Chun first, and asked her to take it to the carriage and settle it down. She and Feng Yuyun went into Ming Pharmacy and quickly bought a batch of precious medicinal materials to get the job done.
The puppy seemed to only recognize Fengming. It was well-behaved, cute and quiet in Fengming's arms. But as soon as it was handed to Bi Chun's arms, it struggled desperately despite its sick leg, wanting to return to Fengming.
"Okay, good dog, I'll be back soon. Just follow Bi Chun to the carriage. Don't cry or struggle, or your legs will hurt even more, okay?"
The struggling dog seemed to understand Fengming's words and actually stopped struggling. It lay obediently in Bi Chun's arms, just looking in the direction Fengming left.
Bi Chun couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It seemed as if this dog was waiting here for Fengming.
Fengming was worried about Gou Zi, so he quickly got back on the carriage and told the coachman to go back to the guesthouse quickly.
The dog, who had been waiting anxiously, saw Fengming return to the carriage. He no longer cared about the pain in his body and struggled to move to Fengming's side and lean against him. They looked so intimate, as if he had been raised by Fengming since he was a child.
"Sister, look, this puppy really likes you. It won't even come near me."
Feng Yuyun looked at the small black ball with some curiosity, her tone sounding a bit envious and jealous. Why doesn't he like her?
"Yes, Princess, this little dog really likes you. When you didn't come back just now, it kept looking in the direction you left."
Fengming kissed and stroked the dog's fur with his hands. It was estimated that the dog had been wandering on the streets for some time. The fur looked a little messy and tangled, and there were some clumps. He wondered how it had survived these days.
The dog was completely black with curly hair, and its legs, when standing up, could reach Fengming's knees. It looked like a dog that was almost an adult. What was even more unexpected was that it was actually a Teddy dog!
Why would there be Teddy dogs in ancient Dongyao? Fengming's mind was full of questions. There shouldn't be such dogs on the Asian continent in this era.
But if you think about it from another perspective, this is not normal Chinese history after all. Even the Space-Time Administration has appeared, so there seems to be nothing to be curious about.
"What happened to you? Why is your leg injured like this?"
Fengming picked up the dog carefully, looked at its round light brown eyes, and asked this question unconsciously. But after the words came out of his mouth, he realized how stupid he was. Even though this dog looked very psychic, it couldn't speak.
Who knew that the dog actually seemed to understand what she said. He looked at his injured leg with a somewhat sad look, twisted his body and wanted to go back to lick the wound.
"Oh, no, you can't lick it if it's not treated. I know it hurts you, but bear with it for a while. There will be a doctor to treat you when you get home."
When the dog heard Fengming's words, he actually behaved well and did not turn around to lick his wound. Instead, he buried his head in Fengming's arms, as if seeking comfort.
"Sister, this dog is really smart. Let's keep it."
Fengming touched the black curly hair of the little Teddy. Although she was very excited, she knew that this kind of dog would not be something that ordinary people would have the opportunity to raise. It must be from a powerful family. She just didn't know why it was allowed to wander around. What if someone was also looking for it? It would not be good for her to raise it privately.
"Princess, let's ask Princess Xishan to help us find someone first. I believe she should be able to help us find someone more easily. If she can't find him, you can finally fulfill your long-cherished wish of raising a pet."
Bi Chun understood Fengming's thoughts better. Seeing Fengming didn't say anything, he must have been hesitant and worried that if he raised the puppy privately, it would cause the dog owner to worry.
