古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 744: Diving under the water

" Are you calling me a dog?" Qiao Sha spoke after a very long pause as she looked at the woman who was in front of her. In fact, she would not even be surprised if Li Meng were to call her a dog because she had done this before and that too so sweetly that Qiao Sha did not even realise that she was called a dog, it was only when she returned home and started to rethink everything that they discussed did she realise that she was called a dog.          

With a deep sigh, she leaned back in her seat on which she was sitting and crossed her arms in front of her. Qiao Sha raised a brow at Li Meng and then said in a low voice, " Fine, start with that story of yours that you wish to tell me, let me hear what you want to say."      

Li Meng\'s smile widened and then crossed her hands on her lap as she met Qiao Sha\'s gaze and then opened her mouth. Under the silence of the path on which they were travelling, her voice echoed in the carriage rather loudly thus Qiao Sha was able to hear Li Meng clearly without missing a word that was coming from her mouth.      

" When I was travelling to the imperial city, I went to a tea stall because I was thirsty, the tea stall was rather popular because of the storyteller who brought new stories every day, fortunately for me, I arrived just on time to hear that woman perform," Li Meng did not break her gaze with Qiao Sha who was frowning at her subtly. But maybe Qiao Sha was curious as well with all the buildup because of Li Meng\'s praise, she did not say anything and silently listened.      

" The storyteller then began telling her story which was like this ——-"      

Li Meng closed her eyes as she tried to remember everything that she heard from the storyteller and then opened her mouth as she began, " In a faraway village there lived a woman who brought home a small pup who was on the verge of dying, what a curse. The woman thought but she still brought that pup home with her and then treated it with the bare minimum necessities that she thought was enough for it."      

" The dog who was saved by the woman then developed a sort of affection for the woman, he started to rely on the woman even though she only gave the bare minimum to him, he still waited for the woman day whenever his tail would wag whenever her mistress came home."      

Her eyebrows started to furrow as she reached the better half of the story, here Li Meng dropped her voice and continued in a solemn voice, " But the woman who only picked the pup out of a sense of responsibility because she could not watch it die did not have any emotions for it. Whenever she saw the pup, she would kick it aside while scolding it. Sometimes she would yell at him for dirtying the hut and sometimes she would scold him for eating too much."      

" The woman who was blinded by her anger at the food that she had to share with the pup did not see that the pup would chase away the bad people from her house nor did she see that he would stay up all night to guard the vegetable patch that she worked hard to grow."      

" Because she was biased toward it from the start, she ignored all the fine points and just like that dog grew up and the more he grew up the less the woman paid attention to it. Seeing this a kind woman who lived next to the woman started feeding the dog, she would praise it for doing a good job while guarding the house and the vegetable patch, and she would often feed it good things and never complain."     

Li Meng opened her eyes and looked at Qiao Sha who still had a furrow between her brows, the carriage was silent as only the sound of the wheels that were driving against the path echoed in the ears of the two women when Li Meng turned silent.      

" And do you want to guess what happened, Sha Sha?" Li Meng asked with a gentle voice, Qiao Sha who was asked this question blinked her eyes and then shook her head.      

Li Meng\'s smile widened as she nodded to herself and then said, " I guessed as much. The pup who was raised by the woman ran away to the kind woman\'s place —— at first, the woman who raised it did not sense it missing but one day when she returned home and saw everything thrown on the ground with her savings missing, she realised that the dog that has been guarding the house was gone and some thieves broke into her house."      

Qiao Sha\'s eyes widened while Li Meng ignored the changes in her expression and then turned to look out of the window as her lips continued to move, bringing the end of the story, " The woman was upset, she rushed to the kind woman\'s house and demanded her pup back. The kind woman did not refuse instead she agreed, she told the woman that she will let the dog go as long as it went to the woman who raised it upon his name being called."      

" The woman who raised it thought that she was the one who raised it, so of course the pup will listen to her and she called its name confidently but the dog did not move at all, it stayed by the kind woman\'s side and when the kind woman called its name, the pup responded by rubbing against her, what do you think of this story?"      

Li Meng asked Qiao Sha whose frown was deeper than the bumps on the ground.      

The latter pursed her lips and then answered, "It\'s bullshit."
