Chapter 9 Chapter 9 This color and freshly baked toast...
The little dog, the same color as freshly baked toast, still tried to struggle, twisting and turning in the air like a chubby cabbage worm, and began to make whimpering sounds in its throat, as if trying to trick the enemy into leaving it alone by using this pitiful and weak cry.
Bai Tianming slapped the puppy. The puppy whimpered and stopped moving. Its limbs drooped, its head lowered, and its slightly wagging tail was tucked into its tether. The whole dog curled up into a ball, looking like a furry, cream-colored chestnut ball of yarn.
Bai Tianming lifted the puppy by the neck and brought it in front of him to look at it. The puppy raised its black eyes and looked at him, then lowered its eyelids and head, looking uninterested.
Bai Tianming turned the puppy over and over in his hands and asked thoughtfully, "Puppy, what breed are you?"
The puppy lowered its head, looking at the little butterflies dancing on the ground, as if all its attention was sucked away. It neither heard nor understood, and did not answer.
Bai Tianming patted the puppy. The puppy looked up at him and whimpered, a little aggrieved. Bai Tianming held the puppy as if it were a piece of cream chestnut cake and asked, "I think you are a Hound of Tindalos, aren't you?"
The puppy rolled his eyes and didn't answer, then lowered his head again.
Bai Tianming smiled, holding the puppy in one hand, and said slowly to the puppy in mid-air: "Ordinary dogs can't run as fast as you, and you are too clean, you don't look like you are running in the dirt. Your fur is so fluffy, just washed. But, since you are running here, who will wash you?"
The puppy didn't move and still didn't answer.
"Since you won't say anything," Bai Tianming said as he put the puppy in his pocket and prepared to go home, "I'll make dog meat hot pot with you. No one will come looking for me. I'm going to eat you."
Bai Tianming said this and walked along the path towards home.
The puppy struggled a bit but didn't fall to the ground. Bai Tianming walked away while saying, "Hot pot is great. Just heat up the water, throw in the ingredients, and cook them. As long as you put a lot of seasonings together, it won't be bad. I've never eaten a puppy like you before. It must be delicious."
The puppy whimpered and struggled hard.
Bai Tianming did not let go and walked forward as if he felt nothing.
The puppy finally barked, but then suddenly changed its shape from a soft puppy into a ball of pitch-black fog. A strong stench came out of the fog, and at the same time, there were pointed mosquito straw-like things swaying in the fog.
The true colors are revealed.
The terrifying roar of a monster was heard from the thick and foul-smelling fog, and there were also the outlines of tentacles of various strange shapes flying around, as if they were about to attack.
But as long as Bai Tianming thought about what had happened just now, and that this was just a soft chestnut cream-colored puppy, he was not afraid at all.
He stretched out his hand and very accurately grabbed a throat-like limb of the monster inside. It was long and thin, with a sticky liquid covering the surface. Every inch of it was covered with dense particles, uneven, and full of a foul smell.
Bai Tianming retracted his hand, holding the thing tightly, and raised his arm. With great strength, he threw it down hard, knocking the monster in the fog onto the open ground.
The fog quickly dissipated, and before the surrounding sunlight could move away, everything was over. The hateful and horrible monster lay on the ground, twitching and vomiting a lot of foul-smelling mucus, but then it turned back into a puppy.
Bai Tianming looked at the mucus on his hand, picked up the puppy with this hand, found a nearby spring, put the puppy in it, and washed it vigorously like kneading a thick cotton coat.
The puppy struggled in the water, howling and moving its limbs around, so that the clear water splashed out and landed on Bai Tianming's face and hair.
Bai Tianming frowned, squinted his eyes, stared at the puppy, and said grimly: "Although you look unpalatable now, if you struggle again, I will really eat you."
The puppy whimpered and stopped moving, probably because it was scared. Its body began to tremble slightly, its ears covered its head, and its tail was tucked between its legs. Its fur was wet, but because it was shaking, many water droplets dripped down, making it look very pitiful.
In particular, the puppy looked at Bai Tianming with a pair of watery black grape-like eyes. Bai Tianming held the puppy tightly and finally washed off the smelly mucus that had stuck to it before he lifted the puppy out of the water.
There is a tall mountain wall near the spring, and the sun often cannot shine through. The soil near the spring is also cool all year round. In addition, many plants like shade and water. Once the seeds fall here, they quickly begin to take root and sprout. It won't be long before they grow into towering trees and lush flowers and plants. When the sun comes, it is blocked by these plants, making this place even cooler.
In summer, if you are far away from the spring, you will feel the scorching sun. But if you walk near it, you will feel a cool breeze blowing on your face, and you will feel cooler. It seems like autumn has come all of a sudden, but it is not that cold. It is really a good place to escape the summer heat and cool down.
As soon as the puppy was taken out of the spring, it felt cold and shivered even more violently. Water dripped down its body, but it didn't look dirty at all because it had just been washed clean.
Bai Tianming looked at the puppy and thought it was clean enough, so he took it out to a cool place. He originally wanted to put it on the ground. The sun was very good today, and the puppy's hair would dry after a little exposure to the sun. However, there was no rope, and if he put it directly on the ground, he was afraid that the puppy would run away, and then all the effort of washing the puppy would be in vain.
Although Bai Tianming doesn't necessarily have to eat it, and it may not taste good, but he can't spend half a day and get nothing. That would be a waste. Bai Tianming will not let the puppy run away.
Bai Tianming picked up the puppy in his hand like a string of sausages, walked back to his flower garden, picked up the backpack on the ground, checked it, and found that nothing was missing, so he put the backpack on his back and prepared to leave.
The puppy suddenly struggled and whimpered, as if it wanted something. Bai Tianming stopped, looked at the puppy and asked, "Puppy, puppy, what do you want?"
The puppy blinked its black eyes and looked at the flowers next to it. Bai Tianming carried the puppy closer to the flower. The puppy sniffed with its wet nose and shook its head gently.
Bai Tianming looked at the puppy, and the puppy also tilted its head and looked at Bai Tianming, blinking its eyes, showing a very pitiful look.
Although I know that the puppy is pretending to be pitiful, if the puppy really just wants to eat some flowers, then let it pretend to be pitiful.
"Don't you like this?" Bai Tianming asked, looking at the puppy.
The puppy nodded, made a whimpering sound to please, and tried to rub its head against Bai Tianming. Because the sun was really strong, the hair on its head had been a little dried out by the sun, but not completely dry. It was even a little hot when it rubbed against him.
Bai Tianming felt as if sparks were flying towards him at that moment. He almost suspected that the puppy had burned a hole in him, like a piece of paper ignited by sparks, and he retracted his hand.
The puppy didn't dare to move, his whole body was stiff, staring at Bai Tianming, but he didn't dare to look at him directly. Because he was afraid, he could only look at him secretly with the corner of his eyes, sneaking around, and quietly wagging his tail. But he was worried that Bai Tianming would be unhappy if he saw his tail, so he only wagged his tail once and then controlled himself.
Bai Tianming held up the puppy and asked, "What do you want?"
The puppy hesitated, glanced at the flower that was blooming in the daytime not far away, and blinked as if saliva was about to flow out of his eyes.
At the same time, Bai Tianming heard a gurgling sound coming from the puppy's stomach, probably because the puppy was hungry. However, this was not a real puppy, and it probably wouldn't gurgle even if it was hungry.
Bai Tianming stood there and hesitated for a moment. It was really a dilemma as he could only keep one of the only flower and the only puppy.
Although other flowers will undoubtedly bloom in the field in the future, they will not be the same flower as this one. Although you can find another dog if you throw away this puppy, other dogs will not be the same as this one.
The puppy cooed and whimpered, and seeing that Bai Tianming didn't seem to want to do anything, it quietly wagged its tail, and the hair at the tip of its tail brushed Bai Tianming's wrist.
Bai Tianming's hand, holding the dog, suddenly trembled, as if he couldn't even hold a puppy. The puppy whimpered, thinking it was going to be thrown to the ground. It was terrified, tears welling in its eyes. It choked and sobbed, but didn't dare to cry. It looked even more pitiful than before.
Bai Tianming sighed inwardly, took the puppy to the flower, plucked a petal, handed it to the puppy, and said to the puppy, "I only have this one flower, I can't let you eat it all, you can only eat this little bit. If you try to steal more, I will kill you. If you don't eat it, I will give it to someone else."
When the puppy saw the petals, it started wagging its tail wildly, and the rumbling sound in its stomach became louder. A gurgling sound came from its throat, as if someone had thrown many watermelons into the well, and no one knew when the rumbling would stop.
The puppy opened its mouth, revealing its pink tongue, and rolled the petals into its mouth with all its strength. While its mouth was open, saliva kept dripping out. It was obvious that it liked the flower very much.
Bai Tianming saw that the petals had been eaten by the puppy, so he withdrew his hand, looked at the flower next to him that was missing two petals, and sighed softly.
The little flower didn't look as pretty as before, but it felt even more delicious than before. It swayed gently in the wind, making it almost impossible not to swallow it in one bite.
Bai Tianming silently looked away.
Mo Rusheng is here.
