Chapter 41: Village Guardian Beast(1/2)
All the dogs in the village were standing in their owners' yards or at the door of their homes. The chained dogs were jumping and barking several times as if they were trying to break free of their chains. They were all barking. A dog also ran out of an old adobe house.
He was an old dog, but he didn't bark. He listened with his ears straight up, sniffed with his nose, looked around with his eyes, and then ran away in a direction, but he couldn't see his fingers in that direction.
When he stopped, he had already appeared in the middle of the village. He saw two ghosts talking about something from a distance.
"Woof...woof...woof..."
The village dogs no longer make a fuss.
…
Wei Lai stepped back repeatedly. What he saw made him so frightened.
Only a few steps away from them, a pair of green eyes popped out of the darkness, staring at them fiercely. Wei Lai took a few steps back. Ye Feihua also noticed the abnormality, and followed closely.
He took a few steps back.
A vicious dog with bared teeth was approaching them step by step.
"Maybe this is the boss dog you were talking about, right?"
"Very possible!"
"What should we do now? Run away?"
"Let's see what it wants first?"
"It's too late to bite!"
"Probably not. If it wanted to bite us, it wouldn't have waited until now!"
Ye Feihua was right, the old dog didn't mean to attack them, it might just be a deterrent.
It stopped less than a corn distance away from the two of them and looked directly at them, making the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
The two dogs faced each other like this for half a minute, but neither of them moved first.
Then the old dog slowly turned around and ran back in the direction he came from.
"Should we catch up? I suddenly had an intuition that it is here to guide us!" Wei Lai said.
Ye Feihua: "I feel the same way! Maybe we can find the village guard by following it!"
"Follow it?"
"Chase!"
The old dog walked a certain distance and stopped at a corner. When he saw the two men following him, he continued running forward.
"Come on, brother! Another one is following you!"
"What?" Wei Lai looked back, and a pair of green eyes appeared more than ten meters behind them. There was a huge yellow dog, like a calf, following them slowly.
"Oh my god! What a big one!"
"Ignore it and keep following!"
"If we go further, we will leave the village. Where will it lead us?" Wei Lai saw that there were not many houses in front of him. When he arrived at an intersection, there was a relatively empty place ahead.
Ye Feihua did not answer, but looked to the left and right of the intersection. Wei Lai also followed Ye Feihua's gaze and saw another dog appearing on the left and right of the intersection. The one on the left was a big black dog, and the one on the right was a big black dog.
It's a white dog.
"We are surrounded! The old dog is really cunning. He wants to lead us to an open area and attack us in groups!" Plus the big black dog behind and the old dog leading the way, we are really surrounded.
feeling.
"I won't move if the enemy doesn't move, just follow the old dog and walk forward to see!"
The old dog stopped in front of an old adobe house. The two of them walked a few steps and arrived at the door of the old house in a blink of an eye. They saw the old dog lying on the left side of the door.
"This is Shahu's old house!" After walking in the dark night without knowing the direction clearly, Wei Lai realized at this moment that they had arrived at the so-called village guard's home.
"Two friends, come in!" At this time, an old voice was heard coming from the house. Although the voice sounded old, it was powerful.
The two looked at each other and walked in to look at the house. In the blink of an eye as they walked in, the old dog moved to the middle of the door and lay down on the ground. Three big dogs, black, white and yellow, stood in front of the door, looking warily.
Inside the old house.
Wei Lai and Ye Feihua walked into the yard and found that the yard was overgrown with weeds. There was only a trampled path leading to the main room. It was said to be the main room, but in fact it was just two adobe houses, with half of it separated for a bedroom.
There is a simple kitchen made of wooden boards on the right, with several pots and pans piled randomly in the kitchen.
The two of them did not enter the main room rashly, but looked cautiously in the direction of the main room as they walked.
"There's not much to see in my shabby house. Now that you're here, come in and have a cup of hot water!" At this time, the light in the main room was on, but it wasn't that bright. It might just be a five-watt light bulb.
Let it be what you have come, and the two of them don't have to worry about much. They can't back down when the doorstep is about to come! The two of them no longer hesitated and stepped forward to push open the door with a crack left ajar.
I don’t know what caused it, but the door to the main room needs to be pushed.
"Xiao Laizi! Are you here?" Silhu came before anyone arrived, and Shahu opened the bedroom curtain made of rags and walked out.
"Uncle Tiger! Is it really you?" Wei Lai looked at the person who came out, and his memory returned to more than 20 years ago. At that time, Wei Lai was still a child of five or six years old, and he often bullied Silly Hu with his friends.
, hit Silly Hu with a small stone. Silly Hu just hid but would not fight back. Sometimes Silly Hu would be hit by stones and injured and bleed, but he was still smiling! Finally one time, Wei Lai and his friends bullied him as usual.
Silly tiger, but was bumped into by Wei Lai's father Wei Wu. Wei Wu drove away the other friends, but kept Wei Lai. Wei Wu was angry that his child was so ignorant, so he took out his belt and beat him.
He shouted: "You little beast, I have to beat you to death today!" The beating made Wei Lai roll all over the floor. In the end, Silly Hu couldn't bear to see Wei Lai being beaten so severely, so he lay on Wei Lai's body and used his huge
Wei Wu's body was blocking the whip for Wei Lai. Wei Wu struck the whip on Silly Hu, but Silly Hu was silent. Wei Wu was angry, regretful and annoyed. He was so angry that he still pushed Silly Hu away. He didn't know that Silly Hu
Whether the tiger is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he just heard him yell: "That's enough! Do you want to beat him to death?" This sentence was so domineering, and it was not like what a fool could say. But
He immediately returned to his normal silly look and said angrily: "Don't hit me, it will hurt!"
When the stone hit him, Silhu didn't say or scream about the pain, but he knew that the belt would hit Xiao Laizi's body, and Xiao Laizi would be in pain.
From that day on, Wei Wu had no control over what others called Silly Hu, but Wei Lai was not allowed to call Silly Hu anymore, and when he saw Silly Hu, he had to call him Uncle Tiger.
Later, in Wei Lai's childhood, there were many scenes with Silly Hu. Wei Lai rode on Silly Hu's neck in circles, and Wei Lai helped Silly Hu fight off the kid who bullied Silly Hu. Silly Hu
Holding Wei Lai's hand and jumping and playing together, Shahu gave Wei Lai the snacks he had collected from other people's wedding banquets.
One time, Wei Lai and his friends were roasting sweet potatoes in the village. A spark accidentally ignited the haystack next to them, which in turn ignited the firewood next to them. Wei Lai was the youngest among them, and the other friends saw it.
The fire quickly jumped away, but Wei Lai was a little slower to react and was trapped in the burning pile of firewood. Although the fire was not big, it frightened the young Wei Lai into crying.
Fortunately, Shahu, who had returned from helping others, saw him and took him out of the small fire. When Wei Lai was taken out, the fire had already burned the corners of his clothes. If Shahu had come a little later, what would have happened?
It would be unimaginable. It happened that Silhu was usually the last one to leave when helping someone holding a happy event, but this time he suddenly left a little early. It was this moment that saved Wei Lai's life.
"Xiao Laizi! How many years have passed since we last met, do you still remember Uncle Hu?" Shahu was very happy to see Wei Lai, and pulled Wei Lai to sit on the bench next to him.
"How could I not remember? If it weren't for Uncle Tiger, I might have died in that small fire more than 20 years ago!"
"What a pity! Uncle Tiger can save you once, but he can't save you forever. In the end, you still failed to escape this disaster!"
When Shahu said this, he seemed to have just realized the existence of Ye Feihua.
"Oh! By the way, this kid must be Xiao Laizi's friend, right? You can sit down too!"
Wei Lai nodded to Shahu. He did not introduce Ye Feihua's identity to Shahu. He may have felt that it was unnecessary to introduce Ye Feihua's identity at this time, or he explained Ye Feihua's identity before figuring out something.
, it was useless. So he just followed Shahu’s guess and admitted that Ye Feihua was his friend.
"Thank you Uncle Hu!" Ye Feihua was not polite to Silly Hu.
"Uncle Hu! What's wrong with you? You seem to be different from the impression I have of you!" At this time, Wei Lai felt that Shahu was thinking clearly and speaking clearly, as if he had regained his consciousness, but he still looked like a bit of a fool.
"Xiao Laizi! Do you want to say that Uncle Hu is not as stupid as before? Haha... In fact, Silly Tiger is still Silly Tiger, your Uncle Tiger is still your Uncle Tiger, Xiao Laizi, you are no longer a living Xiao Laizi
Come on!" Facing Wei Lai who was in a ghost state, Silhu didn't have anything to be taboo about when he said something.
"But, you..."
"I know you have a lot of questions. We met in this situation today, and Uncle Hu is willing to answer your questions. It will help you know some unknown things, and it will also make it easier for you to carry out your work at the Sanchi Ring Center in the future."
"Uncle Tiger, do you also know about the Three Feet Ring Center?" Ye Feihua did not expect that a village guard in the world of the world also knew about the existence of the Three Feet Ring Center.
"Do you think that I, a person from the human world, shouldn't know about the new organization Sanchi Ring Center that was just established in the underworld?" Shahu directly asked Ye Feihua's question. Then he continued: "Not only do I know about Sanchi Ring Center,
Chi Ring Center, I also know that you are the executive deputy director of the Haicheng branch of the Three Chi Ring Center!"
Two chins fell on the ground, belonging to Wei Lai and Ye Feihua.
"What will surprise you even more is what's coming next? It will take a long time before dawn, so listen to me and explain it slowly!" Silly Hu said with a smile.
"You may have guessed that I am the village guard of Weijiazhuang this time!"
"What does this term of village guard mean?"
"Don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly! Although you have guessed that I am the village guard, you may not know the village guard. Your knowledge about the village guard may not be as good as the few of mine outside the hospital.
Old friend!"
"Old friend outside the hospital, are you talking about the smelly old dogs at the door?"
"Don't talk nonsense, they are not ordinary dogs, they are village guardian beasts. They can hear and understand what you say, so be careful when you evaluate them! I know what they want most now.
What is the matter? If I don’t tell you, I’m afraid you won’t be able to guess it next year. To tell you the truth, what they want to do most now is to die to defend the village!”
"Martyring yourself to defend the village? You just want to die rather than live!" Wei Lai's outspoken words meant that sooner or later he would get into trouble.
To be continued...
