Zhenliang's mouth moved slightly, and he kept repeating two words: Zhenqi... Zhenqi...
How is this possible? It was obviously dead. She saw it fall in front of her with her own eyes. Although she didn't know how Old Lin disposed of Zhenqi's body later, it was not difficult to imagine a man like Old Lin who was cruel to animals.
, either Zhenqi was slaughtered, sold, or simply thrown away.
In the process of thinking about Zhenqi, Zhenliang has been deliberately avoiding imagining the final result of Zhenqi. The most difficult thing for her to accept is that Zhenqi has become a delicacy on people's plates, and this is also the most likely possibility for Zhenqi.
's destination.
After blinking, Zhenliang's beautiful eyes were filled with water, clear and clear.
A strange cry would be heard in the dead of night. This... must be her imagination.
Sure enough, when she calmed down and thought about the matter clearly, the dog barking outside the door disappeared.
Zhenliang sighed and told himself that it was really an illusion just now.
However, a moment later, the special dog barking sounded again outside the door, one after another without stopping.
Zhenliang listened quietly, putting a hand on his chest. He could no longer deny that there was a dog outside, a dog whose bark was similar to Zhenqi's. It was true, it was true!
Unable to lie down on the bed any longer, Zhenliang quickly got up, put on his clothes in a hurry, and ran straight out of the bedroom door.
Opening the door, Zhenliang clearly saw a familiar figure suddenly appearing in front of him.
In an instant, she had only one emotion, that is, her dream has come true!
As for the sense of surprise brought about by her dream coming true, she felt that she had experienced it to the extreme at this moment, and nothing else could surpass it.
Inside the basket lying across the door, there was a husky that looked very similar to Zhenqi lying on its back.
There was dried blood on the husky's abdomen, and there was a blood-stained white gauze padded under the abdomen. It must have been treated by someone, and the long and deep wound could still be vaguely seen.
Obviously, the husky was placed in a basket to recuperate because of its serious injury and could not move. Otherwise, how could a normal dog lie peacefully in the basket, motionless and lazily? It would have been long ago.
It's bouncing around and moving around all over the place.
Although her heart was filled with countless impossible questions, Zhenliang still trembled with excitement.
She looked at the husky with tears in her eyes, and the husky looked back at her with a familiar expression.
"Zhenqi..." There was no need for any more doubts, Zhenliang could be sure that the Zhenqi she had always thought about was back.
Otherwise, how could a dog she didn't know look at her with such familiar eyes?
But, how could it come back alive? How could it be possible?
Ju Chenguang, who was standing behind the basket, explained with a smile, "The third master just sent someone here. He said that he never accepts old, weak and disabled soldiers, including livestock. If you don't like it, throw it away, kill it, or do whatever you want."
Zhenqi's resurrection from the dead washed away all the haze deep in Zhenliang's heart, making her mood as bright as the sun. So this time, no matter how ugly or hateful the words that Third Master asked Ju Chenguang to bring, she didn't care.
Because she knew that without the third master, Zhenqi might have really died, and even if he came back to life, he would not run to her side. Moreover, she also knew that what the third master asked Ju Chenguang to say was not true.
He did not accept the beasts of the old, weak and disabled soldiers, but wanted to inspire her to accept Zhenqi without hesitation.
If the Third Master had given her other gifts, she would have had them returned or thrown out, but the one he gave was Zhenqi, and she really couldn't find a reason to refuse.
How could she say no to a dog she had hurt?
If she dared to return Zhenqi, she believed that Third Master would give it up as he said.
Walking to Zhenqi's side, Zhenliang stretched out a hand, and after searching for a long time, he dared to put his hand on Zhenqi's back, feeling its real presence and warmth.
Zhenqi looked at Zhenliang motionless, perhaps because of his serious injury, he looked extremely docile and well-behaved.
Zhenliang looked at Ju Chenguang and said solemnly and proudly, "From now on, this dog is mine. Its name is Zhenqi, and it has nothing to do with San."
"Haha, that... of course." Ju Chenguang coughed dryly and couldn't help but quickly suggested, "Liang'er, you can bring Zhenqi into the palace with you tomorrow. It would be great to have one more companion."
Zhenliang stopped stroking Zhenqi's hand, with hesitation on his face, "In the eyes of other people, Zhenqi is just a wolf that can eat people. Who would allow me to bring such a wolf into the palace?"
"You don't have to worry about it. With my aunt here, besides men, what dowry can't be brought into the palace?"
Zhenliang stood up in disbelief, his eyes shining, "Really? Can I take it into the palace?"
"Of course, my aunt is grateful to the third master for finding you back. How can she shirk the gift from the third master? However, my aunt also asked me to bring you harsh words. She said, it would be strange if you were injured in the palace.
If you offend someone and offend the emperor, the only outcome will be death, so Liang'er must take good care of Zhenqi's education."
Hearing this, Zhenliang naturally thought of the scene when Zhenqi ferociously pounced on Lao Lin to protect her. Although she firmly believed that Zhenqi was definitely not a wolf, she could not guarantee that it would never hurt anyone.
Rabbits eating grass will bite people when they are anxious, let alone carnivorous dogs?
Frowning deeply, Zhenliang hesitated again and said, "Then it's better not to bring it in, lest I kill it again."
Ju Chenguang possessed him, grabbed Zhenqi's neck with one hand, and lifted it up slightly, forcing its injured abdomen to be fully exposed to Zhenliang, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"People have their own lives, and dogs also have their own lives. If Liang'er thinks that he can avoid harm by not taking him into the palace, then he is totally wrong. Maybe if you leave him outside the palace, he will die instead.
Go faster."
Hearing this, Zhenliang glared at Ju Chenguang angrily, forcing him to put Zhenqi down from his hands with his eyes, and then sternly scolded him, "That's nonsense. I'll leave this dog to you. You can help me raise it first."
One day, when she leaves the palace, as long as Zhenqi is willing, she is willing to truly be its master.
When Ju Chenguang heard that he was being asked to raise a dog, he immediately waved his hands excitedly and said with a sad face, "No, no, I'm allergic to such furry things."
As if afraid of the cold, Ju Chenguang rolled up his sleeves, pointed at a sparse red spot on it and said, "Well, I just treated its wound and put some medicine on it, and I feel uncomfortable all over."
Ju Chenguang's appearance didn't look like he was bluffing. Zhenliang pouted, not knowing what to do with Zhenqi.
She wanted to ask Ju Chenguang to take care of Zhenqi, mainly because she felt that he was a doctor and could ensure Zhenqi's safety better than others. Naturally, she also had an inexplicable trust in him and felt that he was a person worthy of trust.
But now that he refuses to take care of Zhenqi, who can she trust?
Jinye Yinye wants to follow her into the palace, and she has no one else she can trust for the time being.
Zhenliang squatted down again, caressed Zhenqi's head, and asked softly, "Zhenqi, I will enter the palace tomorrow, are you willing to go in with me? Although it is talked about by many people, and even yearns for it,
Actually, it’s not much fun. If you go in with me, you might have to stay in there for a long time, which would be boring. Do you want to go too?"
She knew that Zhenqi could not understand, but she explained the situation of living in the palace, deceiving herself and giving Zhenqi a chance to choose.
If Zhenqi makes any sounds or expressions that she considers displeasing, even if she gives it away, she will definitely not bring it in.
Zhenliang put one hand on Zhenqi's head, and the other hand happened to be resting on her knee. After she finished speaking, Zhenqi looked at her steadily for a while, and finally turned his face towards her.
Put your hands on your knees.
Under Zhenliang's surprised and excited eyes, Zhenqi actually opened her mouth, stuck out her tongue and licked the back of Zhenliang's hand affectionately, as if constantly telling her that it was willing to follow her into the palace.
Half believing in the spirituality of animals and half trusting his own judgment, Zhenliang said to Ju Chenguang with a face full of joy, "Since it is willing, I will take it into the palace tomorrow. Without any hesitation, I promise to share the blessings and hardships with it."
It’s just that it’s seriously injured now. Is it easy to move it?”
Ju Chenguang patted the basket containing Zhenqi and said with a smile, "What I gave it just now is the best medicinal powder for treating knife wounds. It is exclusively owned by Juhua Pharmacy and no one else. Don't worry, you only need to rest for one night and it will be gone tomorrow."
I can walk into the palace on my own with great swagger."
Zhenliang shuddered when he thought of the sharp knife that Lao Lin had stabbed into Zhenqi's abdomen that day, "How could such a deep wound heal so quickly?"
Ju Chenguang put on a look of being struck but indomitable, and said, "It's useless to talk more, go back and rest, we will see the result tomorrow. Liang'er, just wait and worship me with all your strength."
After saying that, Ju Chenguang personally pulled one end of the basket, pulled Zhenqi into the back room, and said goodbye to Zhenliang.
Zhenliang didn't hear it. While Ju Chenguang was pulling the basket, he quietly said to Zhenqi, "I didn't expect that you, the fake, are quite up to the mark. You deserve to be stabbed in the abdomen by him."
Zhenliang closed the door, squatted next to the basket, and gently stroked its back again and again.
Gradually, Zhenqi's eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Zhenliang looked at the lost Zhenqi and was filled with emotions. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Zhenqi who came back tonight was different from before. As for why it was different, she thought it was probably because Zhenqi came back from the dead.
Because of this, after spiritual animals have suffered the threat of death, they must have some understanding and become different from before, just like people, right?
