The Country Beauty 886, Main Text 886 – Chapter 886: The Fire Burns the Dog The actions of the spinster Chunmei were absolutely beyond Lu Yun’s expectations. Had she gone mad? Did she really intend to use him as a lure to entice the big yellow dog…? Yet, even more unexpectedly, although the yellow dog had initially been impulsive, he soon turned his head aside and no longer looked at the spinster Chunmei at all. “Chunmei, it seems this plan simply won’t work,” Lu Yun frowned, calling out. The way the dog was acting suggested he wasn’t giving up on riding Chunmei simply because the dog had gotten stuck in the well at Xiao Zhi—quite the contrary. Chunmei kept calling the dog’s name, but the yellow dog seemed completely unhearing, only emitting continuous low moans. His hind legs, which had been standing for too long, had now softened and drooped. The entire body of the dog lay flat on top of Xiao Zhi. Clearly, the dog had been drawn deep into the well. Lu Yun was puzzled. The dog was in such a state—so why wasn Just as he was thinking, the widow Chun Mei had already gotten off the bed, slowly dressed herself, and came slowly before Lu Yun, blushing and saying, "Xiao Yun, it seems this plan won't work. Then perhaps we should try the first one." Lu Yun looked at the widow Chun Mei with a serious expression, asking, "Chun Mei sister, how could the big yellow one not be interested in you?" "Heard Land Yun's words, the widow Chun Mei blushed deeply, feeling embarrassed. 'Didn't I tell you already? I've never been ridden by Da Huang. When I lived with the widow Wang's family, they actually intended to have Da Huang ride me, but Da Huang never showed the slightest interest. So now, I'm trying this—quite forced, really. Xiao Yun, now you should finally believe that I and Da Huang haven't done anything like that.'" Land Yun nodded thoughtfully, expressing strong agreement. He was now particularly intrigued by Da Huang—the dog indeed wasn't bad. It clearly understood the saying 'a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its own nest,' choosing only village women to ride, never touching his own wife. Huh, this dog! Lu Yun held the rope and the cardboard matches in his hands and climbed onto the bed as well. He glanced at the large yellow dog, whose head was covered by a cloth bag, and smiled. "Chunmei, I'll tie this rope to Yellow's body. When I ask you to pull it, just pull firmly—this will prevent Yellow from getting distressed and pushing the dog hard into Xiao Zhi's well." The widow Chunmei looked concerned. "Will Yellow be all right?" "Chunmei, right now—is it more important that the human or the dog?" I just told you all this not a moment ago, didn’t I? Everything I’m doing now is entirely for Xiao-Zhi’s safety. If, at any point, Da-Huang loses control and crushes Xiao-Zhi severely, not only will Da-Huang’s life be in jeopardy, but you might end up with serious injuries yourself. Lu Yun was genuinely at a loss for words. Now Xiao-Zhi had already fainted, yet Lady Chunmei showed absolutely no concern—her mind was entirely occupied with whether or not Da-Huang would be safe. In that case, Da-Huang truly had it coming. Lady Chunmei blushed deeply at Lu Yun’s words and softly replied, “Of course, Xiao-Zhi is more important. Then… you go ahead and do what you need.” Lu Yun’s reasoning was quite sound, and Lady Chunmei felt deeply ashamed of her own self-centeredness. After speaking, she got off the bed and let Lu Yun proceed with his work. Lu Yun chuckled softly, tied the rope securely, and looped it around Da-Huang’s two hind legs and the dog’s body. Then he handed the rope to Lady Chunmei, saying, “Chunmei, now pull a bit Indeed, as soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, the unconscious Xiao Zhi seemed to sense the movements of the dog, Dahuang, her brows furrowed tightly and she emitted a sharp, painful groan. Widow Chunmei, having just heard Lu Yun's words, immediately caught the sound of Xiao Zhi's groan. She gritted her teeth, thinking: "Dahuang, don't blame me—this is all I could do. Otherwise, you'll never be able to pull that dog out of Xiao Zhi's well. I'm truly at my wits' end!" With that, she closed her eyes and took a large step backward, simultaneously pulling with both arms.
