Chapter 2: Loyalty
"Whew," the earth dog screamed, his teeth loosened, and Suzaku was also in pain.
The earth that had just landed on the earth dog bounced off Suzaku.
A few insolent mockings were accompanied by more clods of dirt.
"Stoning this mad dog to eat the skin and stew!"
"The Zhu family said a long time ago, the dog is crazy, even the main family dares to bite it, and it will be killed casually......"
"Hehe, mad dog, crazy girl, I'm hungry and bored, no one cares about smashing to death......"
Suzaku had never fallen to such an embarrassed and depressed state in her previous life, and the dry and hard soil smashed on the earth dog and herself from time to time, and her brain was confused several times.
Suzaku can bear the pain very much, but an ugly, dirty and smelly earth dog is protecting this body more than nothing, "whoosh" wails, refusing to abandon the owner's behavior, too spicy eyes.
She remained indifferent in her eyes, caught two dirt skulls with each hand, threw them out hard, and fought back.
The earth was only half a meter high and two meters away, and then it fell back to the ground with a "poof" and shattered.
Several naughty boys were enraged by the retaliation.
"Crazy girl still dare to fight back?"
"The last time I bit a large piece of meat on my arm, I still have a mark! My mother said she was a scourge, stoned her to death! ”
The boys began to shorten the distance, and the boy who had a grudge against this body was in the front, holding a dry hard clod of earth the size of a sea bowl in both hands, and grinning at the head of Suzaku, who still had no strength to stand up......
The yellow fur on the back of the earth dog that was covering the Suzaku stood upright, the front legs were pressed down, the canine teeth were exposed, and a low threatening sound came out of the throat.
From the ground, this earth dog is extremely thin, with only two layers of skin on its belly, which is deeply sunken as if it is attached together.
Suzaku grabbed two pieces of dirt again, ready to go.
The earth dog, which had only two skins left in its belly, jumped up and pounced on the bear boy at the front.
"Oops...... The mad dog is still biting me, so hit it......"
In the end, it was a child, a rabble, who at first thought that the earth dog was about to be starved to death, and dared to attack it in groups. Now seeing that the earth dog still has the strength to bite people, and it looks extremely vicious, it suddenly scatters as birds and beasts, where is there anyone willing to step forward to help share the burden?
"Mother...... Run......"
"Ergouzi, you take it first, and we'll help you call someone to ......"
The second dog who was bitten by the dog on the leg and stomach had a snot and tears on his face in an instant, and he didn't care if the wound on his leg and stomach was bleeding or not, and he also crawled and ran, crying and howling wolves all the way......
The earth dog was panting and wanted to retreat in front of Suzaku, but the dog's legs were swinging, and finally he fell to the ground, half of his face was against the ground, and the other half of his face looked at Suzaku with big eyes, his mouth had not yet closed, and his yellow teeth were oozing blood.
Suzaku suddenly understood one of the most difficult words in his previous life, "the heart is like a knife".
"You...... Don't die, I don't want you to die, you wait...... I'll feed you ......"
Suzaku heard his own wooden voice, and his tone was a little more trembling and desperate.
She herself is going to starve to death, what will she feed the earth dogs?
Suzaku stretched out her arms with difficulty, her fingers touched the warm and wet dog's teeth, she smiled woodly, tried to soften her voice, and said, "Good, eat, I'll feed you...... Eat bones...... Don't believe it, it's chicken feet, you can taste it......"
Although it's a dog, I have guarded myself like this, and I can't repay it, and it's quite appropriate to send a hand, anyway...... He will starve to death.
Suzaku kept a smile on his face and looked up at the sky, the sky was dark blue, the sun was setting in the west, and the air was fresh......
No, what she smelled was definitely not just freshness, but also a hint, a wisp of meat, chicken, chicken feet......
Suzaku's belly roared again.
She turned her head and traced the source of the strange meat scent in confusion, and it turned out to be in the palm of her hand, under the pointed beak of the earth dog.
In such a strange and strange place, seeing the familiar vacuum packaging, the packaging bag that was torn open by the teeth of the earth dog still has bright and small characters written on it: "Spicy phoenix claw".
"Who?"
Suzaku turned his head vigilantly, and all he could see was the green weeds, the low mounds nearby, and the towering mountains in the distance.
There is only one answer, this bag of "spicy phoenix feet" is by no means a gift from someone else's hand.
It's so weird!
Suzaku gave birth to an inexplicable strength in his body, and sat up straight with his other hand on the ground.
The earth dog also had strength, "Ka Ba Ka Ba" chewing two small spicy chicken feet, and there was still a half-laer vacuum packaging bag hanging on one side of his mouth.
Suzaku helped tear the bag off, and if he didn't help, the earth dog would be able to swallow the plastic bag into his stomach.
The earth dog was so hungry that two phoenix claws were not enough for it to fill the gaps between its teeth, and the dog's eyes were full of hope, and the big tongue chased after the bag flatteringly and licked it.
Suzaku went crazy, grabbing the bag over and over again to review his actions and words just now: "You don't want to die...... I'll feed you...... Eat bones...... Eat chicken feet...... Eat spicy chicken feet ......"
The other hand touched the clothes of this body, and there was absolutely no possibility of hiding private goods.
Suzaku froze, just because of the innocent and endless road, a bag of spicy phoenix claws in the same package appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand again.
How desperate he was when he stretched out his arm to feed the earth dog just now, how happy Suzaku was at this moment.
Don't be a starving ghost! Eat something first, and then continue to delve into where the phoenix claws come from.
Suzaku, who completely discarded the sense of ceremony, held more than a dozen packs of spicy phoenix claws and burst into tears, his fingers were weak to tear open the package, and he bit directly into his mouth, and the crispy bone residue was swallowed in his stomach, and the final appearance of the packaging bag was similar to that of being gnawed by a local dog.
When people are hungry, their brains will also die, and Suzaku didn't even think about asking for some food other than spicy phoenix feet to adjust the nutritional structure for a while......
It's good to be alive!
The spicy phoenix claw is supreme...... All!
Fortunately, Suzaku summoned a small and delicate "spicy phoenix claw" to make food, and nearly 20 bags were evenly distributed between one person and one dog, and the food was hot from the mouth to the stomach, and it was not so strong that it would be strangled to death.
The sky gradually darkened, and after the stomach was filled with food, one person and one dog could maintain a standing posture and stagger.
The top priority is to find a place to stay, although it is still possible to wear single clothes in the current season, which is not cold, but sleeping in the wilderness is not to mention the danger.
"Earth Dog...... Dog? Rheum? Suzaku tried to parse the name of the earth dog, but unfortunately, she didn't have any memories of this body in her head, so she had to figure it out all by herself.
The earth dog turned its head and wagged its tail, looking very happy.
"Then you'll be called Rhubarb." Suzaku was also happy, although the expression on her face was still wooden, and she reminded the earth dog, "Now let's go home, you lead the way." ”
Being besieged by a group of bear children at the foothold just now proves that there is a village or town nearby, no matter what the relatives of this body are like, it is good to have a small nest to live in temporarily.
But following the loyal earth dog Rhubarb, when he came to his destination, Suzaku was shocked.
