Fast Travel: After turning into an animal, the villain asked me to be his wife
Chapter 436: I, Wolf, accompany the sickly villain to take the imperial examination 2
Mo Zhu looked at the puppy in Shen Yanqing's arms with curiosity.
It seemed to be a little afraid of the cold, and curled up in the young man's arms, with its head buried tightly, leaving only its butt exposed.
"Sir, this is a puppy? Should we raise it?"
Mo Zhu was a young man at heart. When he was in the Shen Mansion, the rules were strict and it was absolutely impossible for him to pick up a black local dog and raise it. Therefore, there was some excitement and happiness on his face.
"…Go look around and see if you can find its mother."
Shen Yanqing coughed twice and instructed Mo Zhu to look around.
Mo Zhu nodded repeatedly and immediately started searching everywhere, but after searching for a long time, he didn't find any trace.
The snow was so heavy that even Mo Zhu was a little puzzled as to where the puppy came from in such heavy snow. If it had not been discovered by the young master, it would have probably frozen to death that same day.
"Sir, there's not even a strand of dog hair nearby," Mo Zhu stared at the puppy, then glanced at his wife's grave, and an idea suddenly occurred to him, "Could it be that my wife is in heaven and sent a puppy to cheer you up?"
Shen Yanqing was stunned.
But soon, he concealed his thoughts, stretched out his hand and placed it on Maotuanzi's back hesitantly.
Compared to his hands that were almost numb from the cold, Maotuanzi's body was warm. When he touched it, it seemed as if his fingertips were also contaminated with some warmth.
Shen Yanqing sighed and said, "Let's keep it and see how it goes."
Compared to Shen Yanqing's indifferent expression, Mo Zhu was obviously the happiest one.
"That's great, sir! The puppy can even guard the house when he grows up!"
Shen Yanqing: "Okay, let's go back first, it's too cold here."
Before leaving, he looked at the tombstone again, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After returning to the courtyard where he lived, Mo Zhu excitedly went to the kitchen to boil water, thinking that he should wash the puppy. He saw that the young master had been holding the puppy all the way, and his eyes kept moving on the puppy's thick fur.
Now I am too young to guard the house, but isn't it just right to be a hand warmer for the young master? !
Mo Zhu felt that his idea was simply brilliant.
But the puppy was picked up from outside and was very dirty, so he wanted to wash it.
"Take a bath?" Shen Yanqing had already put the puppy on the ground. The puppy didn't know what was going on, but kept looking at him with a staring look.
"Yes, sir, it's too dirty." Mo Zhu didn't say that he wanted to bathe the puppy in order to warm his hands, but said, "It would be bad if there are fleas. By the way, check if there are any wounds on it."
Shen Yanqing thought about it and nodded: "Then wash it."
Mo Zhu immediately brought in a basin of water.
Of course, there is more than one room in this courtyard where Shen Yanqing lives, but because Shen Yanqing is weak, only his room has a stove for heating, and the temperature is higher than outside.
You can't throw the puppy outside directly after taking a bath, as that would be tantamount to asking for its life.
Mo Zhu had a good idea, but something went wrong when it came to actual implementation.
I don't know what happened to this puppy. It was obviously well behaved in the young master's arms and didn't jump or make any noise. But when he was about to catch it and give it a bath, it started jumping around everywhere and even hid under the bed.
Mo Zhu was completely broken down. It was winter, but he started sweating from chasing the dog.
He scratched his hair and looked at Shen Yanqing, who was still reading a book, in a somewhat frustrated manner: "Master, I can't catch it, what should I do? The water will be cold soon!"
Shen Yanqing found it interesting: "Give me something delicious to tease you?"
"Master, you just saw me teasing it with the dried meat I had obtained with great difficulty..."
Mo Zhu sat on the ground with his head down, "This shouldn't be the case. Can't I even handle a puppy? It didn't struggle at all in the young master's arms just now..."
He muttered to himself and suddenly found his blind spot. He immediately looked up at Shen Yanqing and said, "No way? Sir... could it be that this little puppy only likes you? That's why he's so well behaved in front of you?"
"Nonsense, how can a puppy know so much?" Shen Yanqing didn't even turn his head, his eyes still on the book in his hand.
The more Mo Zhu thought about it, the more he felt that his feeling was right. He simply said, "But I think that's the case. Why don't you... Sir, come and call him and give it a try?"
Shen Yanqing glanced at the basin whose temperature had dropped significantly.
He stood up under Mo Zhu's expectant gaze, walked to his side, and squatted down.
He had never kept a pet before, and he didn't know how to call the puppy out from under the bed. He could only lower his eyes slightly, stretch out a hand, and whisper to the dog under the bed, "Come out."
There was no movement under the bed.
Shen Yanqing's eyes fell on Mo Zhu. Although he didn't say anything, it was undoubtedly a silent condemnation.
"...Hehe, sir, maybe it's just a little harmful--"
Before he could finish his words, Mo Zhu saw a black head popping out from under the bed.
He immediately became confident and pointed at the head and started chattering, "Look, sir! I told you it must like you! Otherwise, how come it came out when you only said two words!"
Shen Yanqing's eyes also fell on the puppy.
The black, furry little thing hesitantly crawled out from under the bed. Its black little nose sniffed the air, and its bright round eyes looked around before accurately falling on him.
It seemed to have found its target, swaying its body as it crawled out from under the bed, then walked to Shen Yanqing in three steps and sniffed his outstretched hand.
Shen Yanqing's hands were pale and thin, like bamboo joints, a reflection of his physical weakness.
"Sir, touch it, touch it, and then catch it when it's not prepared!"
Mo Zhu lowered his voice and offered advice.
The puppy was still sniffing the scent of his fingertips, and its tail was wagging slowly behind it.
Hearing this, Shen Yanqing placed his hand on the puppy's head and touched it gently.
Mo Zhu looked at him with envy and reached out a hand stealthily.
"Ow!"
"Ow!"
"Ouch!"
Then, as if a hornet's nest had been disturbed, the puppy immediately turned around and barked at him.
While barking, it also made an attacking gesture. Although it didn't look very intimidating because it was too small, it was still quite intimidating.
Mo Zhu was startled and quickly took his hand back: "It's so fierce! Does it want to bite me?!"
When the puppy saw him take his hand back, it stopped barking immediately, then sat on the ground looking at Shen Yanqing, rubbing its head against his hand which he had not taken back.
Even if Mo Zhu was slow-witted, he understood it.
He said angrily: "Look at it, sir! It's just barking and growling at me! It's just begging for you to be touched and hugged!"
"It's too much! It's really too much!"
Shen Yanqing also found it strange.
This little puppy was quite aggressive towards Mo Zhu.
He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's still young. Maybe it's because I brought it back home, so it recognizes people a little."
Mo Zhu snorted: "It's dirty, I don't want it!"
But after saying this, he suddenly remembered that his original intention of giving the puppy a bath was for the young master, so he became worried and said, "The water is getting cold, and it's so fierce to me, how can I give it a bath?"
The puppy was still spinning in his palm.
Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes and said, "Let me do it."
"How can this be possible?! Even though the water is hot, this little brat won't listen at all. What if he gets his clothes wet and catches a cold?!"
Shen Yanqing inexplicably felt that the puppy shouldn't be too noisy.
"You said it listens to me. Was it given to me by my mother?"
Mo Zhu was stunned. It was rare to see the young master insisting, so he nodded. At most he would just keep an eye on it for a while.
Shen Yanqing had never given the puppy a bath before, and thought that the puppy would be as noisy as Mo Zhu said, but he unexpectedly found that it was really well-behaved.
It was as if it understood what people said. It would raise its hands when told to and raise its neck when told to. Mo Zhu, who had originally been dissatisfied with it, opened his eyes wide and said repeatedly that the dog was a smart dog given by the madam, and that it was fierce because it only recognized the young master as its master!
After taking a not-so-strenuous bath, Shen Yanqing asked Mo Zhu to find an absorbent towel to wrap the puppy and rub it. Then he found a basket, put some old clothes in it, and put the puppy in it.
The small basket was placed close to the stove, keeping it warm. Soon the fierce little puppy fell drowsy.
When Shen Yanqing finished reading a page of the book, he looked at it again and found that it had fallen asleep.
As it was getting dark, Shen Yanqing ate a little and asked Mo Zhu to take the food away. Then he drank a bowl of medicine and went to bed to rest.
The cotton wool on the bed was thick and the quilt was not thin, but Shen Yanqing still felt cold.
My hands and feet were cold, and there seemed to be a cold breeze in the quilt, with only a little warmth.
He had long been accustomed to the cold.
He lay on the bed, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, listened to the whistling wind outside the window, and closed his eyes.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I seemed to hear something whining a few times.
In the dim light, it seemed as if a ball of fire passed across his cheek, and then landed steadily on his chest.
The warmth starts from here and spreads out.
His frown relaxed, and for the first time in this cold night, Shen Yanqing slept more soundly because of the warmth.
