Xiao Jingcheng was awakened by the aroma of food.
Now his sense of smell was extremely sensitive. Waves of aroma wafted over from the front without any hindrance and钻进 his nose, making his stomach growl with hunger.
Opening his eyes groggily, he thought he would see a table full of sumptuous delicacies. Instead, there was only a dirty and broken bowl in front of him, and the aroma he had just smelled came from there.
The memories of the medical clinic suddenly flooded back, and he widened his eyes in horror again.
He had thought the absurd scene just now was a nightmare. But when he woke up, he was still on this strange animal!
And in front...
The woman was taking off her clothes with her back to him!
Remembering Ye Wanmian's malicious rumors about him in the medical clinic and how she had someone drug and knock him out, Xiao Jingcheng was filled with anger. He jumped out of the doghouse and swatted the broken bowl of noodles in front of him away with one paw!
He tried to pounce on the half - undressed woman in front. But the next moment, something tightened around his neck, pulling his body back. The choking feeling made his eyes dizzy, and he was even angrier!
That witch actually listened to the quack doctor and tied him up with a rope! Did she really think he was a dog?
"Woof woof woof woof!"
"Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof!"
The shabby and somewhat dilapidated cottage was instantly filled with crazy barking. Ye Wanmian was so flustered that she quickly put on her clothes. She raised her finger at the barking puppy and said:
"Da Huang, Da Huang, stop barking. If others think you've gone mad, they'll beat you to death with sticks!"
The next moment, there was a clattering sound outside. Then someone cursed, "Jiang Mian, quickly shut up your stinky dog. Otherwise, I'll catch it and make dog - meat soup tomorrow!"
Ye Wanmian's eyes turned red with anxiety. She put her finger to her lips and hissed at Da Huang a few times. Then she clasped her hands in front of her and bowed to it. Finally, Da Huang quieted down.
However, it still looked ferocious, as if it was going to pounce at any moment.
Ye Wanmian couldn't help but be grateful that she had listened to Dr. Wang's advice and tied Da Huang up after she got back. Otherwise, she might have been bitten by it.
Ye Wanmian didn't suspect anything strange about Da Huang's behavior. She just thought it was acting abnormally because it had been poisoned. So she wasn't angry that it had kicked over the dog bowl.
"Da Huang, be good. I know you're uncomfortable because you've been poisoned. Dr. Wang has already treated you with acupuncture and medicine. You'll get better in a few days."
She said to the yellow dog in a gentle voice. Bending down, she uncomplainingly cleaned up the noodle soup and noodles on the ground. "You haven't eaten for so long and have vomited so much white foam. You must be starving. I'll go and get you another bowl."
She picked up the dog bowl, walked back to the stove outside, filled it with noodles again, and came back into the room. She put it in front of Da Huang again. "Okay, Da Huang, eat quickly."
The next moment...
The dog bowl was knocked over angrily by the yellow dog again.
Ye Wanmian was stunned. "Da Huang, what are you doing?!"
At this moment, Xiao Jingcheng, who had somehow possessed the yellow dog, had calmed down from his initial shock and frenzy. He was quickly analyzing the situation.
Three months ago, he had received an imperial edict to lead the guards of the Eastern Palace and a group of ministers on a tour of the southern regions. Everything had gone smoothly when they passed through Qing and Ning prefectures. But as soon as they left Ningzhou, they first encountered water bandits and then mountain bandits. In the hasty retreat, his men had been separated from him.
Just then, a group of black - clothed men appeared. They attacked ruthlessly, aiming to take his life.
He had already exhausted his strength dealing with the water bandits and mountain bandits. No matter how skilled he was, there were always moments of carelessness. He was thus ambushed by them and fell off a cliff.
When he woke up again, he was here, and he had turned into this form.
Xiao Jingcheng was born noble, proud, and unruly. He only believed in absolute force and always scoffed at the strange and supernatural things in the world. He never thought such a strange thing would happen to him.
Could it be that this rural woman had done something to him?
He squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the girl squatting in front of him with a touch of arrogance and scrutiny.
Although he was in the body of a yellow dog, he could still see objects and colors clearly. It was just that his line of sight was lower, and all the surrounding things were more than twice as large as before - even the girl in front of him.
This woman didn't look very old, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old. But she had a married woman's hairstyle, so it seemed that she was already married.
Her skin was sallow, and there were many pockmarks on her cheeks. She was so ugly that she was quite unique. The only thing that could be considered an advantage was her bright and lively eyes.
Xiao Jingcheng was used to seeing all kinds of women in the capital. A woman as "unique" as her was the first he had ever seen.
He was sure he had never seen her before. Then why did she slander and spread rumors about him in front of others?
His mind was filled with too many doubts. Xiao Jingcheng had too many things he wanted to ask. But whenever he opened his mouth, all he could hear was the whimpering of a dog.
Tsk, it was really annoying!
After staring at the yellow dog for a while, Ye Wanmian didn't give up. She cleaned up the spilled noodle soup and noodles on the ground again, got up, went outside to get another bowl, and put it in front of Xiao Jingcheng.
As expected, the next moment, it was swatted over by Xiao Jingcheng again.
He looked at the mess of noodles on the ground with disgust.
This ignorant rural woman was trying to敷衍 him with such food? And this bowl was covered with a layer of black mud, and there was a crack on the edge. How dare she offer such a dirty thing to him?!
Ye Wanmian naturally couldn't read the expression of a puppy. Seeing that the noodles she had worked so hard to cook were being wasted like this, even though she usually doted on Da Huang, she got angry!
"Bad dog! How can you waste food like this!"
She angrily cleaned up the things on the ground and glared at the yellow dog with its head held high. "Eat it if you want. I've spoiled you too much!"
With that, she rushed out of the room.
Xiao Jingcheng sneered in his heart.
It was a dream for him, the crown prince of a country, to eat from a dog bowl like a livestock.
The next moment, his stomach growled. Hunger suddenly hit him.
It had been four hours since he had fainted from the poison on the mountain until now. He hadn't eaten for such a long time, and the yellow dog's body had really reached its limit. He really should eat something to fill his stomach.
But just thinking about the dirty dog bowl, Xiao Jingcheng decided to grit his teeth and endure it.
Ye Wanmian walked into the room. She glanced in the direction of the yellow dog, snorted angrily, and turned her head to one side.
"I'm going to rest. Let me make it clear first. If you can't stand the hunger, I won't get up in the middle of the night to get you something to eat."
Xiao Jingcheng also snorted.
How could the noble crown prince compromise and submit to a rural woman?!
Suddenly, the courtyard door was knocked loudly and urgently. The voice carried a hint of killing intent. "Is the owner of the house in? Open the door quickly. The soldiers are conducting a routine search!"
Why were the soldiers here?!
Ye Wanmian's face changed suddenly, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.
