Chapter 250 The Second Master's Mansion

Wen Li arrived in Jiangzhou just in time for the Thousand Lantern Festival.

This time, she made more than a dozen river lanterns herself and placed them one by one among the crowd.

She made a wish for the first time.

After strolling around the night market for a while and dodging invitations from several enthusiastic vendors, she happily went to a corner to eat the free snacks that had been stuffed into her arms.

After taking a few bites, he turned his head as if sensing something and met a pair of timid eyes.

Caught peeking, it immediately straightened its body with trembling front paws, looking somewhat flustered. Its ears were pressed back, its eyes darted around, and it awkwardly licked its fur.

Wen Li was a beat slow to react, but after a moment, she immediately turned her head and closed her eyes.

Whenever Wenli sees a puppy, she feels sad and wants to cry.

Thinking of Second Master made it impossible for her to be happy.

To avoid affecting her mood, she tried to avoid seeing dogs.

When she was in Zishui, everyone around her thought she was afraid of dogs, and no one would allow a dog to be near her.

The bustle of the streets had noticeably subsided, and pedestrians' movements had become stiff.

Wen Li suppressed her emotions and closed her eyes tightly, but the scene she saw became even clearer.

Round eyes, filled with confusion and fear.

Its fur was very dirty, barely visible as white in the night, with several clumps stuck together and many matted together; some looked like…

Blood clots?

She wasn't sure if the tighter she closed her eyes and the harder she tried to maintain her composure, the clearer she would see.

Blood clots...when did they get on you...?

Even though it was so scared, it didn't run away; its feet...

injured?

She immediately opened her eyes and turned her head, tears still streaming down her face, and then she couldn't stop crying.

"Woooooooo..."

After picking up the dog and confirming that both of its hind legs were broken and it couldn't move at all, she became even more distraught.

People on the street stopped what they were doing, their eyes glazed over, and they chuckled foolishly.

This hasn't happened in a long time.

Wen Li had completely given up, hugging the strange little dog and crying loudly. After finding no other wounds, she looked at the two legs that had obviously been broken for a long time and couldn't help but wonder how long it had been like that.

"Ah... how do you live? How do you live..."

"Has anyone bullied you? Has anyone bullied you... How are you going to live...?"

She had already used up almost all the pills in her spatial storage, and there wasn't a single usable one left.

Helpless, she just stuffed everything into the dog's mouth. Unfortunately, while the puppy's spirits improved a bit, it did nothing to help its two legs.

"It hurts so much...you must be in so much pain..."

"How could it have come to this... How could this have happened... No one helped you... It hurt so much... How long did you endure it..."

Wen Li spoke faster and louder until her voice became hoarse.

The puppy looked at her with wide, curious eyes. It couldn't feel any pain; its pain had long since passed.

And it just ate what she fed it, so it feels very comfortable now.

Seeing how sadly this person was crying, it stuck out its tongue to lick her, but couldn't find the wound, so it rubbed its head against her to comfort her.

The barking was a way of telling her to stop crying.

The laughter from the streets and alleys did not affect her; her crying gradually subsided as the puppy gently comforted her.

Perhaps it was because of the passage of time that her voice became hoarse from crying, and her tears dried up.

The puppy was secretly relieved that things had finally calmed down.

*

Even after the puppy was washed clean, the streets still didn't return to normal.

She was crying, and everyone else was smiling, as if they were provoking her.

Wen Li couldn't understand it. Shouldn't her happiness bring happiness to the Three Realms? If she wasn't happy, then the Three Realms shouldn't be happy either.

She was crying so loudly just now, why was everyone laughing instead of crying along with her?

Wang!

The puppy in her arms barked a few times, and when Wen Li looked down, she realized that the puppy had eaten all the snacks she hadn't had a chance to eat yet.

After finishing its meal, the puppy looked up at her with a smile. The puppy was smiling, full and satisfied.

Wen Li couldn't help but smile slightly as she patted its head.

Smiles are contagious, and so is happiness.

Wen Li felt that perhaps at some point, her life had truly met its savior.

Once everyone had returned to normal, Wen Li picked up the puppy and left.

Wen Li didn't rush to leave in the following days.

She's already had a puppy, but it didn't turn out well, so she needs to find a good home for the puppy in her arms.

But she immediately encountered a problem.

She tried to find a home for her dog, and all the people she met were kind and compassionate.

But! Most people are still affected by the rabbit disease and are kind-hearted. What if they revert to their true nature after the rabbit disease is completely cured?

How can she judge whether they will be good or bad in the future, and how can she judge whether they will continue to be good to her?

With a worried heart, she secretly visited several households and finally settled on a couple who ran a tavern.

"It won't hurt anyone, so you don't need to keep it tied up all the time. I made it a wheeled frame, so take it out for walks whenever you have time. Don't let it run off on its own, as people or dogs outside might bully it..."

Wen Li kept giving her instructions; she really couldn't rest easy.

"This money should be enough for it to live well for another twenty years. You can have the rest. If business is bad, don't let it go hungry."

The shop owner immediately declined, saying, "This is too much, young lady! We can't accept it!"

Just as Wen Li was about to say something, a woman's voice came from behind her.

"My sister should take care of it herself."

Wen Li turned around and saw Wen Mingzhu.

She had her hair styled like a married woman, and was holding the hand of a four- or five-year-old girl. Behind her was Zhao Sicheng, who was already middle-aged.

“Sister, we’ve been waiting for you here for a long time.” Wen Mingzhu stepped forward, looking somewhat excited.

The group sat down at the tavern, and Wen Mingzhu told her that Shen Yingsi had instructed them not to disturb her, so they had been waiting for her to arrive.

"Seeing his sister doing so well now, he can finally rest easy."

Wen Mingzhu started crying as she spoke, and Zhao Sicheng hugged her and comforted her gently.

"Sister, Father's health has been deteriorating these past two years. He has been hesitant to bother you, but I know he longs to see you one more time."

If you go to the capital, could you perhaps visit him?

Wen Li refused without hesitation, "I won't see you."

Wen Mingzhu wanted to persuade her, but Zhao Sicheng stopped her, saying that it was useless to say anything more and that no one could force her.

A silence fell over the dining table.

Wen Li looked at the little girl beside them who was staring at her curiously, and asked, "Is this your child?"

"Ah."

Wen Mingzhu's voice was trembling with tears, "Xi'er, call her Auntie."

The child, who looked more like his father, stared wide-eyed and asked in confusion, "Is Aunt older than Mother?"

Wen Mingzhu patiently explained, "My aunt is my mother's older sister, so of course she's older than my mother."

"Auntie looks so young, is she an angel?"

"Yes, my aunt is a fairy."

Wen Li stroked the head of the puppy in her arms and said deliberately, "Auntie is not a fairy, Auntie is a demoness who eats children."

The little girl shrank into her mother's arms in fright, and Wen Mingzhu comforted her gently.

Zhao Sicheng looked at the dog in her arms and asked, "Are you still persisting in your cultivation? You haven't given up yet?"

They know perfectly well what they're giving up.

Wen Li didn't answer. He continued, "He told me that you will definitely get through this, and that you will definitely live well."

"Now it seems that he was too confident in you."

Wen Li snorted coldly, "If I couldn't get over this, you wouldn't be sitting here talking to me like this."

Zhao Sicheng: "He left you a message."

Wen Li stopped moving, no longer calm.

"what?"

He said, "You have other things to do, so just focus on doing what you want to do, and you'll do your best."

He looked at the puppy in her arms and said, "I think this is what he meant by you having to do. Besides this puppy, there are many other unwanted puppies in the world."

You don't want it either?

In the end, Wen Li did not give the puppy away. She was walking on the road with the dog in her arms when she found a stray dog. Following it, she discovered its litter of puppies.

It shielded the child beneath its body and watched her warily.

Wen Li squatted in front of them for a long time without moving, thinking about the Second Master.

When she first met Second Master, it was so small. It was all alone, with no family. It was bullied not only by humans but also by other dogs. After helping her a few times and giving her some food, it kept following her and wouldn't leave no matter what she did.

She had raised dogs, spent a lot of time and effort on them, and gained a lot in return. In her heart, no dog could compare to Second Master.

Her reason told her that she had already raised a puppy before, and she couldn't raise another one as well as the last one.

Besides, raising a dog is troublesome and expensive! There are so many dogs in the world, she can't possibly manage them all!

Besides, she had said before that she would only raise one dog, Er Ye, and she didn't want to raise any other dogs, in case Er Ye got angry.

She was struggling with her thoughts when the puppy in her arms licked her. Seeing that she wouldn't hurt anyone, the big dog let the children go and surround her.

All eyes were fixed on her.

……

Suddenly, a stray dog ​​shelter called "Second Master's Mansion" appeared in Jiangcheng. It was built to be large and luxurious, and people were discussing which kind-hearted big shot owned it.

The steward inside said that their master was called Master Jiang the Second, who loved dogs extremely much. He exaggeratedly said that all the dogs in the world were his brothers and sisters, and that if anyone in Master Jiang's mansion saw anyone abusing dogs, they would never let it go easily.

To be siblings with a dog?

Even though this mysterious Second Master Jiang has never shown his face, people have never stopped discussing him.

In the following years, one after another, “Second Master’s Mansion” appeared in various places, and people began to discuss how rich this Second Master Jiang really was.
