Even if Famous's leg strength was amazing, changing directions in the air caused it to lose a lot of speed. The second attack was far less swift and fierce than before.
A few people with quick reflexes had already raised their guns, aimed at Famous, and pulled the trigger!
Famous was in the air. Although it wanted to use its left foot to step on the back of its right foot like in the martial arts movies that Old Time Tea had watched, even in the Imagined Landscape, it could not escape the restrictions of the laws of physics.
It gritted its teeth and was prepared to be shot into a sieve.
However, even if it was shot into a sieve, it would use its own weight to squash the sh * t out of that d * mned doctor!
"Brother Famous, be careful!"
Old Time Tea exclaimed. It had just knocked away one of the people's shotguns and wanted to rescue Famous, but it was too far away. Besides, even if it rushed over in time, it would only end up with the same fate as Famous.
Da!
Da!
Da!
The sound of the trigger moving the firing pin became a mess.
Everyone, including Famous itself, thought that it was going to die.
However, no one expected that several muskets and shotguns would jam at the same time!
These muskets and shotguns were all made of indigenous materials, so they had a high failure rate. It was not uncommon for them to jam. Many old hunters in the mountains had lost their lives to wild boars and wolves because their shotguns were jammed at critical moments.
However, the probability of several muskets and shotguns jamming at the same time …
Famous was stunned by its inexplicable escape from death. Its body had jumped to the highest point, and its field of vision was extremely wide. It was about to press down on Doctor Li in a parabola.
For a moment, from the corner of its eye, it saw a small tree nearby. Galaxy was squatting between the branches, staring at it with its silver-gray eyes.
Then, a few more people reacted, raised their guns, and pulled the trigger.
This time, there was no jam, and the firing pin accurately hit the primer.
However, the primer did not make a sound. The few bullets were all stink bullets. The gunpowder was probably wet from the rain and had not yet dried.
Famous did not have much time to think. In its eyes, there was only Doctor Li's frightened and uneasy face that was getting closer and closer.
His face was ashen like a dead man. His previous complacency had long since flown beyond the nine heavens.
The rest of the people had maintained their muskets and shotguns very well. They had polished them until they were shiny, and there were no jams or water leaks. Their muzzles were aimed at Famous, but they did not dare to shoot. Famous and Doctor Li were very close, and the area covered by the iron sand was too large. Once they fired, Famous and Doctor Li would be killed together. They did not want to be charged with murder.
Famous pounced on Doctor Li with the force of Mount Tai.
Li Lang was getting older and older, how could he withstand this pounce? He was immediately thrown to the ground.
Famous put a front paw on his chest, not letting him get up.
The others did not dare to shoot for fear of harming the innocent.
Physician Li's limbs flailed wildly, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets due to fear. A small part of Famous's weight was pressing on his chest, which had already overwhelmed his old respiratory system. His throat was making heavy gasping sounds.
Famous lowered its body and stared at him coldly.
The intense movement forced it to open its mouth to breathe, and its ghastly canine teeth were exposed.
Doctor Li was terrified. This dog's muscles were so strong, and its teeth were so sharp. If it bit down, not only his throat, even his neck bone would be bitten off.
"Dog Benefactor, don't!" Wu Ning covered her mouth and screamed.
"Brother Famous, please wait!" Old Time Tea said from afar.
The onlookers all thought that Doctor Li would definitely not survive this.
This dog was so magical. It knew how to create a diversion, and it knew who it was going to take revenge on. Everyone could not help but look at each other, their hearts cold.
Doctor Li looked at Famous from a very close distance. He found that Famous's eyes were different from all the dogs he had seen before. This feeling could not be described in words. Rather than saying it was like a dog, it was more like a human.
"Don't … don't kill me …" he begged weakly and desperately. Since this dog's eyes were like a human's and so magical, maybe it could understand him?
Famous's breathing was even. There was no need for it to open its mouth to breathe, so it closed its mouth.
From Doctor Li's point of view, he was sure that Famous could understand him. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Dog … Grandpa Dog, please forgive me. Don't kill me! I have old people and children to take care of. I just married the seventh concubine. Dozens of people in my family depend on me to eat! "Doctor Li begged incoherently with tears streaming down his face.
Although no one wanted to die, Doctor Li's way of begging was too lowly. He actually called a dog grandpa in order to live. This made the servants in the team despise him and despise his behavior. At the same time, they laughed at him for being so old, but still so hot-tempered. He actually married the seventh concubine. Maybe he made some aphrodisiac to liven things up …
After such a torment, Famous's anger gradually dissipated. It was originally peaceful and didn't want to hurt people. If it wasn't so angry, it wouldn't have attacked Doctor Li.
It claimed that it was going to bite off one of his ears, but it was just a joke. If it really did bite, it would be a mad dog.
Doctor Li begged for mercy, but Famous didn't plan to let him go. Otherwise, it would continue to be wronged. Once it lost the hostage, the others could still shoot again. It couldn't always count on good luck.
It turned its head to look at Wu Ning.
At this time, Wu Ning finally calmed down a little. She broke free from the maid and ran over.
"Miss, don't go over!"
"Miss, it's dangerous!"
Everyone told her not to go near Famous, but she still came to Famous and squatted down.
"Dog Benefactor, please forgive me for my incompetence. I've made you suffer …" she said guiltily.
Famous didn't blame her. In that kind of situation, what could a young lady like her do?
Woof!
It exerted more force with its front paw and patted Doctor Li's chest. Doctor Li's face immediately twisted because of the pain.
Wu Ning guessed what it meant and asked on its behalf, "Doctor Li, let me ask you. You said that this dog is mad. Do you have any evidence?"
In order to survive, Doctor Li desperately shook his head. "No! No! I was talking nonsense! I'm an asshole! Grandpa Dog is a great man, please forgive me, forgive me … "
When everyone heard this, they awkwardly lowered their guns. They secretly cursed Doctor Li for being unethical and having a son in the future.
Wu Mancheng looked ashamed and lowered his head in silence.
Wu Ning sighed and pleaded, "Dog Benefactor, he already knows his mistake. For my sake, please let him go this time."
Famous cleared its grievances, lifted its paw, and Doctor Li scrambled and ran away.
The others also scattered and went to do what they were supposed to do.
Soon, only Wu Ning and her maid were left at the scene.
Wu Ning waved her hand and asked the maid to step back.
"Cat Benefactor, Dog Benefactor, the Wu family has wronged you this time. Please don't take it to heart," she sincerely apologized.
In fact, both Famous and Old Time Tea had a good impression of the father and daughter of the Wu family. This incident was completely caused by Doctor Li's slanderous words.
Wu Ning didn't expect them to answer. She took out an old magazine from her pocket, stroked the cover, and sighed. "I used to like Chinese medicine very much, and I taught myself a little. I often imagined that when I got to Binhai Town, I could open a small clinic in addition to helping my husband and children … The author that I liked wrote in the magazine that learning medicine can't save Chinese people. I didn't like it when I read it, and I thought that it was too biased. Now it seems that … he might be right. Learning medicine can cure physical diseases, but it can't cure mental diseases."
Old Time Tea was deep in thought. Famous didn't understand.
"Stupid, really too stupid …" She felt lost. "Just because it's written in an ancient medical book, just because there's no evidence to back it up, they're going to knock out the brains of their saviors …"
She wasn't disappointed in Doctor Li. She was sad that the servants and confidants believed Doctor Li so easily.
And her father, who was usually a very open-minded country gentleman, let all this happen in silence today.
She hated herself even more. She often lamented that she was not born a man, and she always wore men's clothes. Once she encountered an accident, she immediately showed her fragile side. She was so scared at the critical moment that she couldn't stand up. What was the difference between her and the traditional women she looked down on?
Thinking of this, she finally couldn't help but sob in a low voice. Fear and regret all gushed out with her tears.
As she cried, she felt something warm on the back of her hand. She opened her eyes and saw that it was Famous licking her hand. Its eyes were gentle and firm.
"Dog benefactor, have you forgiven us?"
Famous barked instead of answering.
Wu Ning showed a sad smile, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and gently stroked Famous's neck hair. "Thank you, dog benefactor."
She stood up, thinking that her sick uncle was still in the carriage. After such a mess, everyone seemed to have forgotten about her uncle.
Wu Ning approached the carriage, wanting to go in and see.
"Don't go!"
Famous jumped up and blocked in front of her. It and Old Time Tea originally came to stop her from getting close to the rabies patient.
Wu Ning was stunned. She quickly explained, "My uncle is in the car. He usually dotes on me. Now that he's in a critical condition and we can't find a cure for a rabid dog bite, this might be the last time I see him …"
Famous didn't care what she said. It just stood in front of her and didn't let her go.
Suffering from the language barrier, it didn't know how to make her understand that she couldn't be intimate with rabies patients.
It suddenly had an idea and called out to Old Time Tea, "Old Time Tea, come and act with me!"
Old Time Tea walked over in confusion. Famous muttered to Old Time Tea and told it what it was thinking.
Wu Ning was still confused. Suddenly, she saw Famous open its mouth and bite Old Time Tea, but its teeth only touched Old Time Tea's fur and stopped.
Old Time Tea pretended to be in pain, staggered a few steps, and fell down, its limbs twitching like rabies patients.
Then, Old Time Tea jumped up from the ground, scratching and biting at the air.
Wu Ning seemed to understand. "Two benefactors, are you saying that this disease can be passed on from person to person?"
Old Time Tea and Famous nodded at the same time.
"Okay, I understand. I won't go in."
She just said a few words to her uncle outside the carriage, but she didn't hear any response.
Famous weakly lay on the ground. It was so damn tired!
